Tape 5 Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Tape 5.) Absense makes the heart grow fonder.
Izuku is now 10 years old after spending a full year with his father in river city. It wasn't an eventful stay most of the time but today Izuku had just gotten the most grevious news he has ever gotten since he was 4 years old. Because of it Izuku was franticly pacing back and forth in a room. Held in his arms his cherished and beloved plushie is being squeezed in his grip. Izuku is nearly in tears as he spoke to his father.
"Tou-san isn't there anything you can do? Please i don't want Angel Hare taken off the air! Can't you talk to the company and ask them to just continue airing re-runs?" Hisashi just sighs broken as he looks at his son.
"I'm sorry Izuku, their isnt anything i can do. The broadcast company refuses to sell the rights to me so i can have it broadcast here in River city through my contacts in the media industry. they did send me the original VHS tapes they used to broadcast it though. It's all i can do for you.", Hisashi is heart broken by the look his son gives him only to have his son run outta the room.
Izuku is looking at the tapes that were delivered and puts one into the VCR his dad had found in an old pawn shop. When the show starts up izuku is hopeful.
"Angel Gabby, Oh Angel Gabby." Francis says as the same scene plays out. As it gets to Angel gabby on screen. Angel gabby has no reaction to izuku. The act breaking Izuku's heart to pieces. As the show plays out he sees it's different from the norm he was used to. The show is still good and even just seeing her face is enough to once again make his heart ache. Izuku knows that she's real even if no one else believes him. He has the feather and the memory of her advice and even all the time hebspent held in her embrace to keep him strong.
"I'll find a way to get you back Gabby. I promise i will! I wont give up till you're back here in my arms and when you are i wont EVER let you go." Izuku says as he stands up and gets ready. He sends a text to his friend Nozomi.
You: hey Nozomi you practicing?
Noize: Nah just finished, sup mean green?
You: Just got news that Angel hare was canceled and the broadcast group is locking it away in a vault.
Noize: Wait Seriously? Dude you adore that show im so sorry! That has to hurt.
You: Imagine someone took your guitar and said you'll never be able to play it again. That's how much it hurts...but yeah I'm fine. I'm determined to get Gabby back.
Noize: dude that would literally end my life if that hapoened andbyeah? Good on you mean green! Oh also tell you mom i said Hi. I know this is gonna be the first time you've seen her since the accident. Keep in touch you hear me?
You:I will nozomi, thank you for being my friend.
Noize: hey, same to you. I was lonely till you came around and said hi...it means a lot that we can support each other. Also that suggestion for my quirk? It worked! Ill keep practicing and get into UA with you! Dont go slacking you hear?
You: i wont, thanks Nozomi. I cant wait for your first album release in the next few years. Bye
Noize: bye mean green.
Izuku got ready and sighed as he will now leave to spend a year with his mother in musutafu with a large number of people who will hate him just for existing. After arriving at the airport he runs forward and hugs his mother tightly. The two smile to one another as they walk home. Izuku stays in musutafu for a full year just as he did in River city. Literally the first day he was in school he was targeted for being quirkless and even got in trouble for fighting back against them. The whole year he got threats, beatings, death threats and even fake date letters. Izuku hated all of it.
Izuku soon lost his smile and not much would make him smile unless it was Nozomi, his memories of gabby or his family. Izuku just got mentally ready as the next three years would be hell on him between switching back and forth between his mother and fathers homes and he had to be ready for the ups and downs. He would be ready, especially since the entire last year he has spent with his mother being tortured and tormented by everyone but his aunt, uncle and his mother.
Being alone for the entire year Izuku had a lot free time. Time he spent learning, experimenting and finding failure as he was, everyday, trying to bring Gabby back to him. He needed her now more than ever.
