Chapter 55: Izuki's Secret…
I went into Izuki's room after she called me.
She noticed me and said; "Uh… Hey! C-Can I talk to you real quick?".
"Of course. That was the reason you called me." I said. "So what's up? What's on your mind? Are you okay?".
"Y-Yeah… I'm fine! I just… I just… I…" Izuki stuttered. "I don't feel like I'm good enough… For you… You're so great and you are always so kind to me… And you're amazing… And…".
"But I'm nothing… It's true… I actually didn't have a quirk!" She said as she began to cry. "The All Might's had to give me my quirk! I'm not good enough for anything… I don't deserve anything… I'm not good enough!...".
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't say something like that!" I said. "You're worth everything!".
"How am I worth everything? What have I done to prove that to you?" She said.
"Everything! You just haven't realized it!" I said.
"What do you mean I haven't realized it?" she asked.
"You're smart and a very Hard worker!" I said.
"I may be hard-working but that doesn't mean I deserve something! Just because if you think I'm talented or smart doesn't mean I deserve things!" she said.
"You worked hard for your quirk, didn't you?" I asked her.
"I worked for it because there was nothing else!" She said. "I was nothing when the All Mights gave me and my brother our quirk! And now… I feel less than mine…"
"The All Mights made people strong… Like the Bakugo and Kirishima Twins… And even you!..." She said. "You're all so strong and I'm not! I'm just…"
Izuki began to cry as I said; "Hey! Please don't cry! You're strong too! You got your Hero License on your own, right? You're strong if you got it all on your own!".
"You're so kind, baby… You've been so amazing and I've had some amazing opportunities and lately, I just feel like I don't deserve any of it…" She said. "What if it's true… I-I can't… Just… Just… Hug me… Please…".
I hugged her like she wanted as she began to cry some more.
"Please don't cry… You're just beating yourself up!" I said.
"I'm sorry… I just don't feel like I've worked as hard like everyone else have on their quirks…" She said. "They trained for years while me and my brother were given this quirk…".
"You got hurt at the start, right?" I asked her.
"Yeah… I hurt myself at the start, trying to get used to it…" She said. "But that just shows how weak I am! Me and my brother trained for months, trying to work our body to even hold the power! And it was just the tiniest bit and sure, we got used to it, but we only hold a fraction of what the All Might's had and how… How am I supposed to…".
"You can get through this! I just know it!" I said.
"What makes you so sure I'm going to get through this? And what makes you so sure that I can win… against anything?" She asked me.
"Because I believe you can be a real Hero! I mean, you already got your Hero License!" I said.
"Y-You think… You think I can be a real Hero?" She asked me.
"Yeah! And besides, you're my hero!". I told her with a smile on my face.
"I'm… I'm your hero…? W… W--".
I kissed her on the lips before I told her; "Izuki, I really love you with all of my heart. So please… Don't beat yourself up… I love you!".
"Y…You really love me?" She questioned in surprise before she smiled and said; "I… I love you too!... I don't want you to go back to your own dorm… Can you stay here for tonight?... Please?".
"Sure. I can stay here for tonight." I said. "I can stay here as long as you like."
"Thank you…" She said.
"I'll always love you, Izuki! No matter what!" I said happily.
"And I'll always love you…" She said. "Thank you… For everything… I love you…".
"I love you too, Izuki… Now, let's go to bed…" I said, hugging her.
"Ok…" She replied as we got into bed.
We both fell asleep in her bed for a few hours until I woke up and sat up on the bed. I looked at Izuki who was sound asleep, I smiled at her, I kissed her on her forehead, I got off the bed, I quickly got dressed into pjs, and then I left the room to go to the bathroom.
After I went to the bathroom, I went down to the kitchen's dorm because I felt snacky, and I noticed Momo and Danuja in the kitchen.
I quickly hid myself against a wall as they didn't notice me just yet. I quickly looked and saw Danuja putting on an apron. I snickered a bit as I quickly went back to hiding against the wall.
I quickly took another look and I saw how Momo was getting the ingredients as Danuja was getting the mixing bowls and utensils.
"We got flour, we got sugar. Now what?" Danuja said.
"Now you should leave." Momo said with a straight face.
"Oh, come on. Don't be like that!" Danuja said. "It's your fault for trying to make a small cake just for me!".
"Oh boy. This should be interesting! " I thought as I smiled and continued to hide.
End of Chapter 55.
