Izuku woke up a few hours later and looked around happy to be back in his room. Right after getting back to his room, he fell asleep. He knew he was tired but how much sleep had he missed? He slowly got up and put on some different clothes while putting the clothes in a basket. He noticed they smelt a lot like Mina and was hoping he could get it to the washing machine without anyone noticing.
Carrying the basket he exited his room and made his way downstairs. He walked past the entrance to the common areas and saw a few of his classmates, thankfully Mina and Uraraka were not there. He placed his stuff in the washing machine and turned to leave. But as he turned around he saw a feminine outline lingering around the door. His heart stopped.
He turned to fake make sure everything was in the machine. But his brain was running a mile a minute. 'What if it's Uraraka. I can't face her after everything that happened." He took a few deep breaths, god knows he needs them. He couldn't just sit here all day he had to move. Readying himself mentally Izuku turned on the washing machine and stood up.
He turned the corner to get a clear view of the door and who was standing there. Standing there leaning against the door frame was none other than Momo Yaoyorozu. She looked lost in thought about something. Izuku's heart slowed down knowing it wasn't Uraraka or Mina. He took a step toward the door and broke her out of her trance.
She looked at him for a second, almost like she was studying him. He found her sudden interest as well as her gaze to be somewhat nerve-racking but he could handle it. Izuku took another step forward but she didn't move or even make any sort of way for him to get past. Izuku stood there for a few seconds. "Umm excuse me." He said waving his hand a little.
At hearing the voice of Izuku a jolt ran through Yaoyorozu she then began blushing. Clearly quite embarrassed to be seen daydreaming. She stepped out of the way and Izuku smiled at her. He squeezed through the tight space but her voice stopped him. "Hey…could we talk?" She sounded quiet, well she was normally quiet but this sounded a lot more quiet than usual. Izuku froze he didn't know if he wanted to continue moving or not so he just stood there unaware of anything. "Uh sure." He said somewhat nervously.
"Umm, we-wer-were you…" She stammered out a few words before her mouth closed and she seemed to go back to thinking. "...Were you drunk last night?" She said breaking out of whatever was going on in her mind. "Y-yeah apparently Kaminari slipped me some while I wasn't looking." Izuku said with a slight chuckle.
Something about the look on her face told him when she still had more to say but Izuku had a lot on his plate to worry about this morning (Afternoon?) so adding her problems onto that would be unhealthy. Izuku slid out from the gap in the laundry room door and made his way down the hallway to the common area. "W-well talk to you later Yaoyorozu."
She had missed her chance to ask him about this morning.
Izuku walked in and saw Todoroki sitting with Iida eating something so he went right over to them. Finally people he could trust, friends who wouldn't betray him. "Hey, guys!" Izuku said as he got close. Iida looked over at him before walking away and over to Asui who was sitting by herself.
Izuku could swear he felt his heartbreak at that. He sat with Todoroki who explained what happened. "Sorry about that, he's still mad that you got drunk last night." Another reason for Izuku to murder Kaminari had appeared. The two sat and talked for a little bit. Izuku was happy he was getting that thing with Mina out of his mind. "Welcome you two." Izuku's head turned at Asui's voice who had welcomed Uraraka and Mina into the room. Izuku saw them together and felt his heart stop.
Todoroki was looking at Izuku, he could see a twinge of sadness in his eyes. Uraraka and Mina made their way over to them. "Hey Deku, what're you doing?" Uraraka asked in her same cheery voice. However, Izuku couldn't take his eyes off Mina. Her smile conveyed only a message he would understand.
"I uh I was about to go do some training with Todoroki here." Izuku said forcing a smile at his girlfriend. "Ain't that right. Todoroki." He said his name while winking. Todoroki somehow knew that this was the hardest task he had ever received. His friend was relying on him to help him. The next words that Todoroki said would decide the future of his friend's life. He opened his mouth to speak.
"Were we?"
He fucked it up.
"Yep, we were so let's go okay." Izuku walked past Todoroki toward the exit and grabbed onto Todoroki's arm and was pulling him out.
Uraraka watched their backs as they got further away. Mina stepped up and stood next to her. "That was weird, huh?" Uraraka simply nodded. "Want me to check on him for you?" She offered her friend. "You would? Thanks so much." Uraraka accepted the offer without a second thought. Mina began smiling more mischievously.
"No problem! For now, let's get some breakfast."
Izuku and Todoroki were walking down the path leading to the UA training facility. Ground Gamma. Izuku wanted to get away from that situation as fast as possible but he also had to test out his new Shoot-Style. So leaving worked the best for him.
Todoroki looked at Izuku's face. He wasn't the best at picking up on social cues…or anything social for that matter but he knew when someone was carrying a burden. And he could see that weight on Izuku.
"Are you okay?" He blurted out by accident. Izuku turned to look at him with a very forced smile. "Yeah, I'm fine." Izuku lied right through his teeth. Todoroki was unconvinced by his friends attempt to calm him down. "Well if you need to talk I'm here, okay."
"Thanks." Izuku said not looking at Todoroki. His face said something else entirely.
The two heroes in training made the rest of the way there without sharing any more words.
Authors note.
Hey everyone I hope you enjoyed that. This is my first attempt at a drama (don't worry it will get a bit more dramatic.)
I'm doing this series because I want to get better at writing characters so don't expect many fights.
The next chapter will be for: The Will Hero: Argonaut. So look forward to that.
Not gonna lie I think after Argonaut's next chapter I'll do chapter 3 of this.
