Midnight,
Midoriya Residence,
Living room...

Midoriya's POV

I only stared at the floor blankly, tears kept falling from my already puffy red eyes. I hugged my knees, burying my face in them, sobbing and weeping for hours already.

I feel so lonely... T-Tenko-nii... Please forgive me...

My phone suddenly started buzzing, snapping me out of my deep thoughts. I weakly stood up and carefully walked to my room since my foot was injured. After I arrived at my room, I slowly shut the door close, staring at my phone that kept buzzing, asking me to answer the call.

A heavy sigh escaped my lips, feeling bothered with the call. I honestly didn't want to be disturbed right now but I still answered the call. I grabbed my phone and looked at the screen, reading the caller's name.

It was Mitsuki-san. What does she want from me at such late hour?

I tapped the green button, waiting for Mitsuki-san to start the conversation. "Hello, Izuku dear? Are you there?" She asked me in worry. For some reason, hearing her soft voice eased my depressed heart.

"Hi, Mitsuki-san. I'm here." I said with my voice sounded a bit croaky. "Oh, thank goodness! Are you doing fine, sweetie?" Mitsuki-san asked me cheerfully. She sounded very happy which to me was weird. I feigned a smile on my feature and it really hurt me. "I'm doing well, Mitsuki-san." I assured her, forcing myself to sound energetic and cheerful.

I'm not okay, Mitsuki-san...

"Well, why did you call me all of sudden? Is there something important you wanted to tell me?" I changed the topic, asking Mitsuki-san the reason she contacted me. I heard she chuckled happily on the phone. "Well, you see... Katsuki is released from the hospital today!" She informed me the good news, a bright smile quickly tugged on my lips.

"Really? I'm glad!" I told Mitsuki-san, sighing in relief along the way. But there was something strange. How did Kacchan heal so fast?

"He is healing faster thanks to Recovery Girl's help." Mitsuki-san answered my question as if she had read my mind!

As expected from Mitsuki-san.

"I'm so glad to hear that. Thanks for telling me, Mitsuki-san." I thanked her gratefully. She chuckled all of sudden. "Of course, Izuku dear. Why wouldn't I tell you? I already viewed you as my daughter all this time." Mitsuki-san stated calmly.

I gasped in happiness when she uttered those words. "Me too... You are like my second mother, Mitsuki-san..." I told her sincerely. "I see-- Old lady! Where is my freaking dinner?!" Mitsuki-san's sentence stopped mid-way by Kacchan ferocious voice. "SHUT UP, YOU BRAT! I'M TALKING TO IZUKU RIGHT NOW!" She scolded her son.

I chuckled at this two Bakugous. They might seem like not get along very well in outsiders' eyes but deep inside, they were pretty closed. That was the special hidden trait in Bakugou's family.

"I'm sorry,Izuku. I have to hang up now. My damn son is hungry. I'll talk to you later, dear. Good night!" Mitsuki-san said softly before ending the conversation.

I stared at my phone while sighing long. Loneliness filled this dark atmosphere in my room. I put my phone back at the drawer, throwing myself at my bed.

As I felt my current position was uncomfortable, I turned my body around, facing the walls. Usually, Tenko-nii would lay beside me. We both would cuddle each other but now... It felt like a distant memory.

I gritted my teeth in frustration, clenching my trembling fists. Tears leaked out of my eyes. Just thinking of him already hurt me this much, how could I handle without seeing him for a while?

My tears soaked wet my All Might pillow. I hugged myself and only kept crying, slowly drove into sleep, only to be greeted by scary nightmare in my sleep.

.....

Next day,
Morning,
UA High School,
Class 1-A...

I had no energy to go to school at all but still forced myself to head there. And today, everyone was surprised to see Kacchan sitting at his seat. I was the only one that knew he was released from the hospital last night.

The door slided open, revealing Aizawa-sensei with his body wrapped with bandages.

Aizawa-sensei began the class, informing us about the coming sport festival which got everyone excited, including me. I forgot about my trouble with Tenko-nii for a while since my mind kept thinking about the sport festival.

Time passed in the blink of an eye and without I realizing, it was already lunchbreak. "Deku-chan!" Ochako-chan called me out, waving her hand at me. I smiled at her and slowly got up from my seat. "I'm coming!" I said and walked toward my two best friends.

....

*timeskip to nighttime*

Nighttime,
Midoriya Residence...

I sighed long in irritation when I just realized that I was out of cooking stuffs and ingredients! Meaning that I had nothing to cook tomorrow. Why was I so careless?

Guess I have no choice... Better go to the store now before midnight...

I quickly rushed to my room, grabbing my purse and jacket, hurriedly leaving my house to buy some ingredients.

.....

At the neighbourhood street....

Thanks goodness the store is still opened!

I smiled widely while bouncing in happiness. Somehow, the fight I had with Tenko-nii didn't bother me anymore but the intention to apologize to him and to meet him again still lingered in my heart.

As I was walking down this quiet street, I stumbled upon a group of delinquents whi were hanging out at the park I was passing right now but I ignored them. I could feel they were staring at me hard and they started to scare me so I quickened my pace. I was glad that I met Recovery Girl before returning home just now so my foot was fully healed. But I was too fast that I tripped on a stone, causing to fall onto the ground and the plastics I was holding fell off of my hands.

"Ouch..." I hissed in pain while rubbing my temple. Without wasting any time, I picked up all my stuffs and put them back into the plastic but all of sudden, I heard footsteps walking toward me. The sounds sent shivers down to my spine. I looked up and saw six delinquents surrounded me.

"Hey there, Miss. What are you doing here, walking alone at night?" The man with rainbow-colored hair asked me flirtiously. "It's dangerous for a cute girl like you to be alone at this time. How about we escort you back?" His other friend offered, an evilish smirk plastered on his messed-up face.

I hurriedly got up after finishing picking up my stuffs. "U-Um, my house is already around this area so no thanks." I politely refuse to get out of this scary situation. Out of the blue, one of the men gripped my wrist firmly.

"Come on, don't be shy. We're just trying to help you here." The man in skull hoodie said, licking his lips in hunger. "No, it's totally fine! Just please, let me go!" I said in panic, trying to pull my hand back from his iron grip.

"Oh no, that's not nice Miss..." His other friend said while smirking and out of nowhere, they ripped apart my jacket, revealing my turqoise camisole. My eyes widened in shock, fears took over my mind.

"NO! LET ME GO!" I yelled at them extremely loud, struggling harder to release myself from this man. Tears fell from my emerald eyes, afraid of this unexpected incident.

N-NO! I DON'T WANT TO GET RAPED! SOMEONE HELP ME!

TENKO-NII!!!

The man who gripped my wrist shoved me down harshly, causing me to fall on my back. He got ontop of me, watching at me lustfully. My body trembled in fear.

I-Is this the end? Am I going to get raped after all?

Tears wouldn't stop rolling down on my cheeks as I kept thinking of other bad things that would happen to me. I closed my eyes tight, giving in to this cruel fate.

"OI, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING, YOU FREAKING BUGS!! GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF HER, YOU PILES OF TRASHES!" And suddenly, a loud yell echoed in this quiet district.

My eyes quickly went wide opened when I heard the voice I recognized very well. The man who was on top of me was suddenly yanked roughly. I hurriedly got up and saw Kacchan beat that guy to pulp.

"YOU BASTARDS! LAY A FINGER ON HER AND YOU'LL SEE NO TOMORROW!" Kacchan threatened while lifting up the beaten-up guy with only one arm. That guy's friends shivered in fear. "R-RUN!" They screamed in fear, frightened by Kacchan's deadly aura.

Kacchan harshly threw that guy down, walking toward me with angry and irritated expression on his face. "You useless nerd! What the heck are you dong here this la--"

My body quickly moved on its own, hugging Kacchan tightly with my whole being trembling in trauma. I buried my face in Kacchan's muscular chest, crying from the top of my lungs. My cries filled in this tense atmosphere. "K-Kacchan..." I muttered his name between my loud cries. No other words left my lips anymore, only cries and sobs.

Between my cries, I could hear Kacchan growled lowly. He slowly hugged me back, giving me slight comfort. "Tch." Was his only respond.

I was glad and relieve that I was saved...

Even though it wasn't Tenko-nii who saved me....
