In the gift shop...
Everyone's jaws dropped, and Midoriya's eyes lit up and smile widened with excitement. AllMight smiled at him, and Bakugo felt just speechless as everyone else was. Something came over him, and his eyes got all blurry. Bakugo didn't even realized that he was finally crying in front of AllMight. He couldn't look away as everyone felt a little something between them.
Before Bakugo could say anything else, he noticed Midoriya crying in the corner of his eye. He looked at him and noticed how ridiculous was. Midoriya walked over to him and threw his arm around his shoulder. He smiled through his tears while Bakugo tried to wipe them off.
"Get off of me, Deku," Bakugo said to him.
"No way Kacchan. This is the best day ever! AllMight gave you an autograph!" Midoriya cried out through his tears.
"Come on, Deku. This isn't that big of a deal, I just wanted to get an autograph," Bakugo said back.
"But I remember us getting these back when we were little kids. This is a big deal!" Midoriya told him with a smile.
Bakugo took out his trading card and noticed how amazing the autograph looked on it. The longer Midoriya kept bugging him, the more he couldn't help but give him a smirk.
"Alright fine. It is kind of cool," Bakugo said back.
Midoriya smiled at him and looked at AllMight who was watching them enjoy their time together. They both looked at him, and they both realized that they grown so much. AllMight smiled at them and couldn't help but get a little bit emotional. He really cared about them, especially now that they are finally home. He never realized how much he missed all of them until Bakugo gave him that trading card. Midoriya and Bakugo didn't expect AllMight to hug them both, but he did.
"Umm... AllMight?" Midoriya said to him.
"Sorry, I just... I missed you guys," AllMight said back through tears.
Midoriya smiled and Bakugo just let him hug them both. AllMight hugged them for a while, that Bakugo started to get fidgety.
"AllMight, can we stop hugging now?" Bakugo asked him with a blush across his face, "I'm getting really cramped in here."
"Sorry, I just got carried away," AllMight said back as he let them go, "I guess I missed you guys more than I thought."
AllMight looked at all of his students with such a bright smile.
"I'm just glad that all of you are back home."
Class 1-A all felt so welcome here in Japan. Now that this museum was up and running, they felt like they were finally back.
"Okay, that was enough mushy gushy stuff," Ashido said to them, "I wanna get something before we leave."
"We are in the gift shop, we might as well look around," Kaminari said back, "I guess you got what you wanted, Ashido."
She smiled widely, and they all spread out to look for something to buy. Midoriya looked around for something that really stuck out or maybe even rare. All of the boys of Class 1-A looked all around for something really cool and possibly a great collectible to add to their hero collection. Uraraka and the girls all looked for something really cute. Even Class 1-M's girls all looked for something really cute together.
Bakugo looked around the gift shop, but didn't see anything that stuck out to him. He felt like he already got what he wanted. Then he spotted picture frames of different sizes for autographs, pictures and posters. He looked down at his trading card and couldn't help but smile. He checked the sizes, and then found the perfect size. It was black so it made the colors stand out more. Bakugo grabbed it before he could change his mind.
Then he saw Chloe looking at something away from everyone. She was looking at AllMight phone cases and keychains for phones. She kept looking at the same one phone case and keychain for a while, but then realized that she didn't have any money on her. Not only that, but she didn't have any Japan money on her. Before she could put it down, Bakugo already beat her to it.
"Katsuki, what're you doing?" Chloe asked him as he took the phone case and keychain from her.
"I'll pay for it. Don't worry about it," Bakugo said back as he placed them on the counter.
"Are you sure? You really don't have to," Chloe asked him, "I can just put it back."
"It's fine. I wanna do this," Bakugo said to her with a slight blush across the cheeks, "Besides, I owe you for the mapo tofu and hero training."
Chloe's heart was fluttering so much that she could swear that he heard it. She played around with her hair as he paid for her phone case and keychain. She noticed that he bought a picture frame. He held the bag once he bought their things, and Chloe gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you Katsuki," Chloe said to him with a smile.
"U-Umm... Sure Chloe..." Bakugo said back with a blush across his face.
Luckily no one noticed her kiss his cheek. Bakugo really didn't want everyone to laugh at him again for having a girlfriend. AllMight spotted Chloe hugging his arm with a big smile, and he couldn't help but feel really proud of him.
Everyone ended up getting a little something at least before leaving the gift shop. Midoriya even got something for him, Uraraka and AllMight. Once everyone was done, Mr. Aizawa directed them out of the museum. Class 1-A & M were a little disappointed that they were leaving and wondered if there was a way that they could all stay.
"Come on Mr. Aizawa," Kaminari said to him, "Can't we stay for a little while longer? We just got here."
"No way. The crowds here are too much with AllMight around," Mr. Aizawa said back, "I don't want to get calls from this brand new museum about causing trouble with crowds."
"It's okay, Mr. Aizawa," AllMight said to him, "I can leave. I don't have to be here if it's causing problems with this field trip. I can wait in the bus."
Midoriya and Bakugo felt bad for him and wondered if there was something that they could do for him. Then Midoriya remembered that he bought him something.
"Wait All--... I mean sir!" Midoriya cried out, trying not to cause a scene again.
Midoriya pulled out a Young Age keychain of AllMight. AllMight's eyes widened and almost laughed at how funny this was. He remembered the conversation they had back there in the hero costumes section. Midoriya smiled and gave it to him.
"I got this for you," Midoriya said to him, "I thought that you might like it."
AllMight accepted it and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you Young Midoriya," AllMight said back, "I'll treasure this until you get your Miraculous back."
Midoriya's eyes widened when he mentioned it. Then he looked at him with determination and nodded. AllMight ruffled with his green hair, which he wasn't expecting and headed into the bus. Midoriya felt a little bit embarrassed that he did that, but smiled for making him feel better. He tried to fix his hair as he headed back inside with everyone.
"What was that all about, Midoriya?" Kirishima asked him.
"I just got him something to make him feel better," Midoriya said back as he tried to fix his hair, "It seemed to help. I just feel bad that he has to wait in the bus."
"I'm sure he's fine since you got him something," Uraraka said with a smile, "You two are so cute together!"
Uraraka wrapped her arm around his, and he found himself blushing and getting all flustered.
"Wh-What? A-All I-I did was give AllMight a keychain!" Midoriya cried out with a blushing face.
"Exactly. You two are pretty much family!" Marinette exclaimed.
Midoriya never thought about that, and he looked back at the bus that AllMight was sitting on. He felt a little better once he gave him the keychain, but didn't think much of it. He couldn't help but smile when Marinette brought up him and AllMight being a family.
"...Y-You really think so...?" Midoriya asked her.
"Of course. AllMight is a great teacher, but I can tell that he really cares about you," Marinette said back to him.
Midoriya felt a warm blemish form across his face once they started heading back into the museum. He looked back at the bus and wondered how AllMight was doing.
"Yeah, man. AllMight may be our teacher, but he clearly likes you the most," Kirishima said with a smile, "Bakugo of course since he gave him the autograph and all."
"Lucky," Kaminari mumbled under his breath, causing Jirou to bump him with her elbow.
"I never really thought about it like that," Midoriya said under his breath as he looked at the floor, "I really hope that he's doing okay. I just wanted him to feel better since he has to stay in the bus."
"You're so sweet Izuku," Uraraka said to him with big smile.
She squeezed his arm to pull him in closer. They were soon back in the section of hero costumes and walked past it to go to the next section. They were finally in the section of AllMight's best moments.
Midoriya looked into his bag and looked at his things that he bought. Midoriya wanted to give Uraraka hers on the bus, but he was excited to add the Young Age Figure to his collection. He smiled, remembering how good it felt to talk to him right by the hero costume.
"Izuku, what did you get at the gift shop?" Uraraka asked him.
"Oh! U-Umm... I just got a figure, and a couple of other things. I'll show you on the bus," Midoriya said back to her.
"Okay," Uraraka said as she looked around the section, "Wow! So this is where they showed his best and iconic moments. It's kind of cool to see them play out like this."
"Yeah," Midoriya said back.
Then he remembered that his mom, Lila and Gabriel were here somewhere. He felt like he snapped out of it and looked around a little nervously.
"Hey Midoriya," Iida said, remembering something, "I meant to ask, where did you go during all of that commotion? You were ahead of us, and we were all wondering where you were."
"Hey yeah! You said that you were going to the restroom, and then we found you in the Sidekicks and Heroes section," Ashido cried out.
"What were you doing over there?" Adrien asked him.
Midoriya noticed Uraraka looked at him with a dirty glare, and he knew that she was fully aware of what he was doing. He was a little hot as everyone started to question where he was at the moment. Even Bakugo was curious as well as he crossed his arms. Marinette had a suspicious look on her face, which just made Midoriya a little bit more nervous.
"I-I didn't mean to jump ahead or anything. I-I just needed to check on something," Midoriya said to them, "My mom knew that I was coming here, and I wanted to take a picture of me with AllMight's statue. It's no big deal!"
Marinette got a little closer, which just made him even more nervous.
"Really? Then let me see the picture," Marinette said to him.
"W-What?" Midoriya said with wide eyes.
"Come on Izuku. Let me see the picture. If there's nothing to hide, then you'll show me the picture of you and AllMight's statue," Marinette said back.
Midoriya hesitated to take out his phone when he clearly had no picture of him with AllMight's statue at all. If anything, the picture he had would just give him away. He clenched his fists and gave it up for now.
"Okay. You win," Midoriya said to them, "I kind of set this field trip up so that I could keep an eye on my mom. She's here with possibly Lila and Gabriel."
Marinette and everyone else were shocked to hear this. Mr. Aizawa and Su Han weren't around to hear this luckily. They were busy making sure that everyone got inside. Marinette and Iida were just so dumbfounded that he wouldn't tell them any of this, not even about Lila and Gabriel.
"Midoriya, why would you lie about that? So this is all just a way for you to get your Miraculous back," Iida said, trying not to yell and cause a scene.
"N-No! Of course not," Midoriya said back in defense, "I didn't even take it when I had the chance. I decided to go back to you guys, and then all of you came running right towards me!"
"Izuku, why couldn't you just tell me the truth?" Marinette asked him, "I really thought we were going on this field trip to explore your Japan."
"I still wanted everyone to have a good time! It's not like I didn't want that for any of you," Midoriya said back, "You have to understand that Lila and Gabriel are taking advantage of this situation. Of course I had to check on my mom."
Everyone looked at Midoriya, and he felt really bad for lying to them. He really wanted to tell them, but if he did, then Mr. Aizawa would've never let them all do this.
"Please you guys," Uraraka said in defense, "Izuku just had to check on his mom. It's not that bad. He hasn't even seen her a long time."
Marinette felt bad and wondered how her parents were doing. She missed them a lot and wondered if she would've done the same thing as him. No, she knows that she would've definitely done the same thing as him. She looked back at him with sad eyes and understood.
"It's okay. I understand now," Marinette said back, "If I were going through the same thing, I would probably do the same thing. I think a lot of us would. Your mom clearly doesn't know what's going on, and you just needed a way to see her. I'm sorry for yelling at you, Izuku."
Midoriya was shocked that she was okay with this, but smiled at her anyway.
"Please tell me that you at least didn't get caught by them," Iida said to him.
Midoriya's eyes widened when remembered Lila clearly locking his eyes with him. He tried not to notice her and walk off in the other direction, but he could tell that she saw him.
"W-Well..." Midoriya said, but couldn't get himself to say anything else.
"You got caught?!" Iida yelled out loud, causing a few people to notice.
"Iida! Not so loud," Midoriya said back, "I might've gotten caught. I couldn't tell. I got away from her before I could get a good look at her."
"But you sure that it was her?" Kaminari asked him.
Midoriya took out his phone and scrolled through it to find the picture of his mom, Lila and Gabriel. He showed it to everyone and pretty much everyone that went Paris knew right away that it was definitely Lila and Gabriel. Marinette took his phone and got a closer look at Lila. She zoomed in her just to be sure. Then she spotted the Butterfly and Midoriya's Miraculous in camouflage mode.
"Yeah. That's her alright," Marinette said to him.
"So that means Lila and Gabriel are really staying at your mom's apartment after all," Kirishima said to him.
"This isn't good. Isn't there something we can do?" Adrien asked him.
Midoriya looked back at Mr. Aizawa and noticed that he was talking to Su Han. He looked like he was trying to get him to understand this Japan is way different from their Paris. He looked a little frustrated and rubbed his nose.
"Mr. Aizawa told me that I can go see my mom tomorrow morning," Midoriya said to them, "I can check on her then and get my Miraculous back. Maybe even get the Butterfly Miraculous back."
"B-But shouldn't you just do that right now? I mean, they're all here," Kaminari said to him.
"I can't just take it with so many people around. I'd get into trouble," Midoriya explained to them, "Besides, Lila is good at lying. She could easily make it seem like I'm stealing from her."
"He's right you guys," Marinette said back, "Lila is good at these sort of things. The best thing the we can do is be on the lookout for her. We don't want her to do anything in public."
Everyone else nodded in agreement, and Midoriya stuck with Uraraka. They all were excited to finally walk around the museum, but they were also aware that Lila might be walking around with Gabriel and Midoriya's mom. They all made sure that Lila wouldn't do anything stupid while they were out. Marinette even put her hat on that she bought on since she had no idea that Marinette was Ladybug. She put her hair in a ponytail and put it on real quickly. Even Adrien decided to do the same thing and put on an AllMight hat on and sunglasses.
Midoriya stuck with Uraraka as they looked around the museum. She never let go of him as they walked around. Midoriya was really interested in the statues and information about AllMight, but he had to be careful. He put his hat back on so his hair didn't stick out so much. He even ended up giving her one of his gifts to Uraraka which was an AllMight hat. She up her hair up half way and put it on. Uraraka held onto him tightly so he wouldn't run off this time around.
"You're not going anywhere without me," Uraraka said to him.
"Neither are you," Midoriya said back.
As they approached the section of iconic and classic villains that AllMight took down, everyone spotted the AllMight statue that Midoriya had with his mom. Midoriya made sure that Lila wasn't around, but couldn't tell since it was getting a little more crowded. If anything, he didn't even see Gabriel since he kind of stood out a lot more.
"Do you see her?" Uraraka asked him.
"No... I don't see her--"
Then all of a sudden, Midoriya ended up bumping into someone. He fell to the floor, causing a couple of things to spill out of his backpack. They locked eyes with each other, and Midoriya realized that he had bumped into Lila.
Everyone froze in place once they spotted the one person they didn't want to see.
Another amazing chapter!
This was a fun one to write just to have everyone gaining up Midoriya! I just really like writing the interactions with Midoriya and Iida in these past couple chapters! Something about them is just very entertaining! Also, Bakugo just got praise from AllMight! He finally got his autograph, so I hope everyone liked that! I just love the idea of Midoriya, Bakugo and AllMight having this really good teacher, student moment together! Again, Bakugo being a fanboy is the best thing ever!
Lila just bumped into Midoriya!
What's going to happen next??
More to come soon!
