We woke up early and got ready for school chatting away in Wonder and right when it was time for us to leave we picked up our bags and walked out pretending none of the others existed. Deku wasn't happy about that but it wasn't like he had much choice considering he couldn't understand them and they wouldn't understand him. We arrived in class and took our seats ignoring everyone as they walked in, even Aizawa Sensei.
It wasn't until All Might came in that I turned to smile at him and wave which Deku was more than happy to copy, that is if he wasn't already doing it before me. We went through our classes and when lunch came Deku and I found a small table that was only really big enough for one person but it kept everyone else away.
We got plenty of curious looks and I even saw a few people come up to our classmates but they were quickly waved off. It's not fun being the villain now is it? I really wanted to ask them that but I doubt any of them would understand what I meant by it.
Deku and I talked in Wonder using low hushed tones so no one would be able to hear us. Then before we knew it it was time for class again. Heroics was the best class like always. This time All Might let us fight against each other and when we were done I don't think I have ever seen him look so pale before.
Turns out that meditation let Deku control more of his power easily and we didn't go easy on each other. At one point we were actually laughing while dodging and throwing attacks at each other. When we were done I got us permission to go ahead and leave so that we could get ready for training later. He agreed, still unsure of what he just saw.
We raced out of the gym and changed before grabbing our things and running to the dorms. So much for not getting caught, everyone was watching us like we grew a second head just because we were getting along.
Ignoring that part the rest was fun. It was like we were four again running around playing not a care in the world. I threw some food together knowing the extras would starve otherwise and Deku helped me set up dinner for tomorrow night as well before we went upstairs. I went over our homework and he finished it quickly and we changed our clothes for training.
I open my door expecting Kirishima or someone else to be close by before yelling at Deku, "I'll race you and we'll see who is the number one hero!" I laughed walking out the door wearing a genuine smile as I walked out, almost walking directly into Kirishima.
"Fuck off Shitty Hair," I growled before locking my door and nudged Deku to the elevator. I didn't wait to hear his response or excuses but when the door shut and it was just me and Deku I slumped my mood ruined.
'Kacchan, I know he messed up but he is still your friend.' He looked up at me and I scowled. 'Kacchan trust me, he is still a good friend. They only wanted to protect you,' I sighed knowing he was right but still angry about it.
'I just need a little time, that's all.' I answered before the doors opened and we walked out heading towards the front doors. I see him smile and I smile back. I have missed my best friend. I can't believe how much I have missed him but at the same time I have to wonder how I didn't notice before?
Dinner was in the oven and I sent a text in the class chat telling Icyhot to pull it out at 5:55pm so they could eat it and not too forget to turn the stove off like last time. The chat came alive as if they couldn't believe I would take pity on them all and cook anyway. I just rolled my eyes waiting for him to answer.
Shoto: Certainly thank you.
Dynamight: You're welcome.
I ignored the freak out session from our classmates and turned my phone off. Deku and I made our way to the training grounds where All Might was waiting.
"Sorry we are late. The extras can't cook to save their lives," I rolled my eyes but All Might beamed at me.
"It makes me happy to see you two getting along although I have to wonder about it. As well as both of your progress this past week?" He raised an eyebrow at me.
"I tell you what, I'll tell you more after training today but only if you don't tell." I can't help smiling. I just feel at peace and being with Deku and my hero only helped me relax more.
"I believe we have a deal," he laughed a little and we went through our training. It was a lot more intense probably because of how well we performed in class today but that didn't stop us. We went as far as we could and when we finally dropped we were laughing just laying down on the ground. All Might came over and waited until I finally told him.
"You're telling me that Young Midoriya hasn't understood a word of class all week long?" He looked at me with his eyes wide open.
"Yep," I answer and Deku just looks up. He was getting bored and had been meditating without letting any of his green energy show, he is getting really good and it hasn't even been a week yet. 'Deku it is okay if you want to lay your head in my lap while we talk. You must be tired,' I tell him and see him open his eyes smiling big as he does.
All Might watched in amazement as Deku crawled over to us on the grass and laid his head down in my lap and I started playing his hair. "Of course he didn't want to tell anyone saying they would have banned him from classes and our internships if they knew." I looked back up at our hero who was still watching us.
"And you didn't get hit by a quirk?" He asked, still eyeing me before motioning at us. Oh, I messed up. I messed up badly.
"No but we finally got to have that talk you and Hound Dog are always lecturing us about. We sat down and we talked, everyday this week actually. It's been nice to finally air out everything from when we were brats hell even the things from last week." I chuckled happy with the way things had been going. "I kind of wish the quirk wouldn't end but at the same time I really wish it had already. Yesterday wouldn't have happened if it had."
All Might nodded slowly before finally answering me, "Well since there is only one day left I guess it won't hurt and it's just another school day not anything all that dangerous." I scoffed and he laughed and even Deku started laughing just happy that things had worked out. We said our goodbyes and made our way back to the dorms to get cleaned up and eat before going to bed again.
***
I woke up for the fifth day in a row without nightmares and feeling refreshed. This time I'm cuddled up on Deku's chest and his arms are around me. If only I could tell him that I loved him. But regardless of how well the week has gone by I can't expect him to forget all the nasty things I did to him over the years.
We got ready for school and made our way to the door. I couldn't help overhearing Kirishima though, "I'm glad that Bakubro is happy, I really am. It's just that I miss Bakubro you know?" Okay maybe I have been a bit of an ass. It's not like Deku and I were not straight up keeping secrets from them which caused the whole misunderstanding in the first place. I try and shake the thought out of my head and we go to class like normal. We were in English when I heard a snap behind me making every fiber of my being cringe.
Before I could do more than look up, Deku had flipped his desk over and pulled my chair back. He sat in my lap, tears in his eyes, holding me tight like I was going to disappear. The whole class froze utterly confused and Aizawa Sensei and Present Mic who actually taught English were shocked into silence.
'Deku?' I asked him using Wonder.
'I can't take it anymore, the silence is killing me. I can't take being alone anymore,' he mumbled hiding his face in my neck. That didn't stop me from hearing the tears as his voice quivered though.
'We were almost there you know?' I asked, there was still time to fix this mess but he didn't seem to want to.
'No more I can't take it anymore.' He whimpered and I nodded feeling him relax in my arms as I did.
'It's okay I've got you,' I whisper rubbing his back in slow circles. I let out a sigh and looked back at our teachers who are ready to lose their minds. "So confession time?" I smiled at them and I could see Aizawa Sensei nearly ready to explode. "Not that kind of confession." I deadpan and see him calm himself down.
