Recovery Girl had kept her word, she did not inform anyone besides All Might that night that izuku had woken up and he was back to normal. But she couldn't exactly keep it a secret so the next morning she did not fail in letting everyone know he was better. Everyone was beyond joyful.

"He's back?!" Uraraka had asked with tears in her eyes. "He's really okay?!"

"Yes." Recovery girl responded.

1-A had rejoiced. Some stood up and cheered like Kaminari, sero, and kirishima. Others sat still in shock but it was clear they were filled with relief like Tenya, todoroki, and Katsuki. Overall, everyone was beyond happy.

"This is amazing!" Ashido screamed as she squeezed Tsuyu into a hug.

"This beyond amazing! We have everyone back!" Sero shouted.

Katsuki stood up and walked over to Recovery girl, trying his best to keep cool. "Nothings wrong with him right?"

"No…not exactly."

"We must see him, like right now!" Uraraka walked up next to Bakugo and held Recovery girl by her hands softly. "Please!"

Uraraka had been concerned once she saw that her caregiver wasn't exactly happy when she has asked that. She sighed before she spoke. "I'm sorry but, you can't."

The room fell silent, and Uraraka pressed on. "W-Why?"

"Well, that's the thing deary…I don't know." Recovery girl let her head down and shook it. "When he woke up, I expected him to be a little sore and drained because of all the damage he was doing to his body, but I never thought he'd be…so upset!"

"What do you mean upset?" Katsuki asked as his hands balled into fist.

"He was frantic. Once I told him I was going to alert you all of his well being, he literally stumbled out of his bed and begged me not to. He seemed really bothered so I didn't and the only person I did contact was All Might, I'm sorry."

Everyone looked at one another. This had been such confusing and terrible news. Wasn't Izuku happy to be back? Didn't he want to see everyone and tell them he was okay? Plus, they had so much they wanted to tell him, especially Katsuki.

Bakugo felt his heart start to race and he could barely control his emotions. He didn't understand like everyone else, but it was clearly bothering him the most. First he didn't know what he was going to say to Izuku, but now he feared he'd never get a chance because what if Izuku's behavior was based off his feelings towards him? What if Izuku really did hate Bakugo and because of that he was taking it out on everyone? Katsuki didn't think it was possible for Izuku to act this way, but this was a pretty serious situation and anything was possible. Just as Bakugo was about to curse threw his teeth, Uraraka caught his attention.

"I'll wait." She said and everyone looked at her.

"What do you mean darling?" Recovery girl asked.

"I'll wait to talk to him." She repeated with a stern expression. "I don't know what Izuku is going through and I couldn't imagine. Of course it hurts that he doesn't want to see us right now, but I do know one thing: Izuku does care about us and he wouldn't stop now. He probably just needs a little more time. I've waited this long to see him, I bet I can wait a little longer because I'm sure he'll come around."

Her words seemed to get to everyone else. One by one, her classmates followed her brave steps.

"I'll wait." Todoroki said.

"I'll wait too." Sero and Sato stated.

"Me too." Tsuyu was next.

"So will I!" Ashido said placing her hands on her hips. "Plus he's with All Might so he's in good hands!"

Everyone had decided that they could wait a little longer. They knew it would be challenging, especially know he's so close, but they'd have to go through with it. Everyone had stated that they'd wait, except for one person. The entire room turned to Bakugo who still was silent. When he noticed they were all staring at him with smiles on there face, he flinched.

"What're you lookin' at you losers! Tch!" He barked before turning away and crossing his arms. "Of course I'm gonna wait, I don't know exactly what yet, but I gotta shit-load to say to deku."

And with that, everyone was in agreement that they'd wait, no matter how long it took. And oh boy, was it long.

Three days had gone by ever since Izuku woke up. He might've been back to his normal state but he wasn't exactly his usual self. Izuku was really moody lately. He didn't really speak much or move from the nurses office. He'd walk around the room a couple of times and do his exercises, but he wouldn't think about leaving.

It was clear he was upset. Recovery girl would offer him goodies, or All Might merch, or his friends coming to visit. He'd reject all of them, especially his friends. The only people Izuku agreed to see was the civilians that came to visit him when they heard he and Katsuki was okay. When they'd show up, Izuku wouldn't fail to make sure he was first to apologize from the bottom of his heart. Even the woman from the hero store they broke into visited him. He made sure the drag out his apology with her, but of course she didn't accept it. She just smiled warmly at him and made it clear that it wasn't his fault. She even brought him a souvenir from the store she owned. He was grateful to her and promised that he'd visit her, but deep down he wished she wasn't so forgiving because he didn't think he deserved it.

Izuku felt like a monster and an idiot at the same time. There was no way he was going to see his friends or even Katsuki. Of course he wanted to see them, and he wanted to believe that they weren't mad at him, but what if he was wrong? What if they really hated him for how he acted and how he constantly plotted to…kill them?

Now as Izuku lies in his bed he twists and turns from the guilty thoughts filling his head. "Ooooh what's wrong with me?! How could I do such terrible things!" Izuku bellyached. "It's my fault, it has to be, if I would've just moved out of Katsuki's way…katsuki." Izuku stopped thinking about how he got into this situation and how he worked with Katsuki throughout it all.

It was crazy how they were partners, and it was even crazier how good they were at it together! Izuku never imagined that when he asked Katsuki to partner up with him, he'd actually do it or let alone become so intimate with him. Izuku felt sick for thinking it but he kind of missed being so close with Bakugo. They were literally always together and they would've done anything to please one another, mentally and physically.

But Izuku felt a sharp pain in his heart the more he thought about it, because he truly felt that was never going to happen again. Either Katsuki would despise him or he'd want to go back to the way they usually were. Izuku didn't want that but there was a good chance he'd have no choice.

Just as he was getting ready to shed a single tear, Recovery Girl's office door opened. Izuku knew she was sitting in the corner so that meant someone was here to visit him. His heart sped up and he prayed Recovery Girl didn't go against his wishes and invite his classmates, but he felt slightly better when he saw it was only All Might who had come by.

"Hello my boy, how are we today?" All Might asked with his usual smile. He approached Izuku and gave him a big bear hug. It was obvious he was beyond glad to have his boys back. It must've been eating at his heart for some time.

"I'm much better All Might," Izuku lifted his arm and flexed his fingers a bit to demonstrate his strength. "See?" It was true that Izuku was much better. Most of his strength had returned and he was just about ready to get back into everything.

"That's great! So does this mean you will be returning to the hero course?"

At this, izuku winced. He should've known that sooner or later All Might would be asking him this question once more. For the past couple of days All Might was understanding when Izuku would respond with "I need more time" or "I'm not exactly feeling too well", but now that he said he was getting better, it was going to be quite hard to get out of going back.

"Yea…about that.." Izuku mumbled to his successor. He was trying to find the right words to say, but he didn't know where to start.

"Young Midoriya," Izuku looked up at All Might with pleading eyes. It was like he was begging him not to say that one line everyone was saying, but of course he'd hear it anyway. "You know it's not your fault."

"But I don't know that." Izuku lowered his head and began to feel frustrated. "Everyone tells me that it wasn't my fault and that these things happen, but they really don't. It was me who destroyed pieces of the city, it was me who tried to hurt my friends, and it was me who struck fear into countless of people's lives."

"Would you do that all over again?" All might asked and Izuku looked up at him in shock.

"No! Never, I-I couldn't dream of doing something so vile ever!" Izuku said shaking his head fiercely.

All Might placed both his heavy hands on izuku shoulders and held tight. "EXACTLY my boy, that wasn't you! That was not the Izuku Midoriya we all know! You had no control over what was happening to your body or your mind because everything was rearranged, how can that possibly be your fault?"

Izuku stared at All Might, realizing that he kind of had a point, but he still wasn't convinced. "…I could've moved out of Katsuki's way."

"And I could've been there, but I wasn't. Aizawa would've helped you out, but he couldn't. Your classmates would've done something, but they were worried about being wrong. You see Midoriya? You can't put accidents all on yourself."

"…But…"

"Let's even say it was your fault, at the end of the day you simply made a mistake and it happens. All we have to do is look towards the future now and learn from the past." All Might gives Izuku his signature smile and pats his back. "Everything is forgiven and you are still loved my boy."

Izuku didn't know what to say. As much as he didn't want to accept it right now, he knew All Might had a point. There wasn't much Izuku could've done to stop himself while he was in a villainous state, he barely had control of his thoughts and own body. The only thing stopping him from really hurting someone was Katsuki at points and his friends and teachers who refused to let him go down the wrong path.

All Might was right, this wasn't Izuku's fault. It wasn't his, or Katsuki's, or anybody's. it was an accident and accident's happen. Now that Izuku was finally able to accept this, he knew everything would be okay. Or at least, he hoped it would be, but there was only one way to find out and it was from him hiding in recovery girls office all of his school life.

Izuku took a deep breath and sighed. "All Might?"

"Yes Izuku?"

"I think i'd like to see my friends now."

Hey! I'm sorry this one took so long to update, i was on a trip and i was focusing on that. But, the next chapter is in progress, thanks for waiting!
