Notes:

So, this is the first chapter I am re-writing. I hope you enjoy it. So, you should already know, but if you don't this chapter uses a song in it and if you want to listen to the song it is called 'Silence – By Marshmello'. Ever since I first wrote this chapter, I hated it as I didn't think it was written to my best ability, so I decided to re-write it. I will place the actual lyrics to the song at the end of the chapter. Now please remember that you are cared for and loved, but also don't forget to stay hydrated. I love you all and let's get into this shall we? 😊

"----" = Lyrics.

The audience is confused on the title. "U-um S-Shadow w-what i-is t-this a-about?" Koda asks. "Well Koda sweetie you will see, but just a warning this is a bit sad." Shadow says and everyone nods. "Now let's begin shall we." Shadow says and everyone turns to face the screen.

The screen lights up to show Izuku in his dorm. He is situated on his desk and as sits there he has a bored expression on his face and is clearly in need of something to do, so randomly he states; "I'm gonna sing this song that I made." After saying this he nods his head and turns his spinning chair to face his bed. His facial expression changes to one of content and focus.

Everyone minus Izuku is shocked that Izuku writes songs. "YOU WRITE SONGS AND DIDN'T TELL ME." Jirou says. "U-um yeah I do and I'm s-sorry for not telling you I didn't think it was that important." Izuku says feeling bad. "It's fine you don't need to apologise." Jirou says. "Alright continue the reaction please." Shadow says as everyone looks back at the screen.

The pause button on the screen disappears, showcasing that the video has continued. And as it does, the audience can see Izuku pick up his phone and turn it on. Once on he uses face ID to get into his phone. Once he has access to his phone, he goes into a random app and looks through files for a few moments before pressing play on one. Once he presses play on the file, music starts to play through his phone. Izuku nods in a content manner and places his phone on the desk beside him. He then turns his face to look at the wall behind his desk. Which he then starts to sing.

"Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter (Fighter),

Cause all my life, I've been fighting,

Never felt a feeling of comfort, oh,

And all this time, I've been hiding,

And I never had someone to call my own, oh nah,

I'm so used to sharing,

Love only left me alone,

But I'm at one with the silence."

The audience listen to Izuku sing with absolute shock written all over their features. They not only find Izuku's voice enchanting but also find his voice soothing and calming. They can hear the sadness in his tone as he sings but they are too shocked to register it. They listen to Izuku as they seem to be stuck in a trance. They are too entranced with Izuku's singing to fully comprehend the lyrics.

The video continues to play and in turn Izuku continues to sing. As he sings the lyrics his tone is filled with both determination and sadness.

"I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long,

I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long."

The audience are still enjoying Izuku's singing, but most of the adults have fallen out of the trance and are now concerned due to the lyrics.

While the adults fret about the lyrics the video continues to play and they get to listen to Izuku sing even more. He sings with passion and his tone is filled with lived experiences.

"I've been quiet for too long,

I've been quiet for too long,

I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long."

The audience continue to listen to Izuku sing, while more and more adults fall out of the trance and either become concerned and fret about the lyrics, or they just don't give a shit.

Izuku proceeds to continue singing with the same passionate tone as before but he sings with even more passion than before almost as if he is re-living his past. The sadness also returns as he sings.

"I'm in need of a saviour (Saviour), but I'm not asking for favours,

My whole life, I've felt like a burden,

I think too much, and I hate it,

I'm so used to being in the wrong, I'm tired of caring,

Loving never gave me a home, so I'll sit here in the silence."

After hearing this verse the entire adult portion of the audience became concerned (Minus Endewhore), but the adults that were already concerned had now become even more concerned for the green bean broccoli problem child.

Izuku continues to sing this beautiful, sad and powerful song.

"I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long,

I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long."

The children portion of the audience are enjoying the video and are blissfully unaware of what is really happening.

As Izuku sings the last verse of the song, his tone is filled with sadness and passion but it is clear that throughout singing the song he re-lived moments of his past.

"I've been quiet for too long,

I've been quiet for too long,

I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long."

As the song comes to an end and the music stops, Izuku falls silent for a few moments while a sad look takes over his features, but after a few minutes of silence he speaks up. "Well, that was nice. I really love singing this song it reflects on my past." After he finishes speaking a small but sad smile over takes his face.

After hearing that comment the entire audience are in a state of absolute shock. After a few moments of silence Jiro speaks up. "YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL AT SINGING. We are going to sing together sometime." Everyone nods at Jiro's comment. "O-oh u-um thank you Jiro." Izuku says. "Alright let's move on shall we." Shadow says and everyone nods.

The Lyrics to Silence – By Marshmellow:

Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter (Fighter),

Cause all my life, I've been fighting,

Never felt a feeling of comfort, oh,

And all this time, I've been hiding,

And I never had someone to call my own, oh nah,

I'm so used to sharing,

Love only left me alone,

But I'm at one with the silence.

I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long,

I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long.

I've been quiet for too long,

I've been quiet for too long,

I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long.

I'm in need of a saviour (Saviour), but I'm not asking for favours,

My whole life, I've felt like a burden,

I think too much, and I hate it,

I'm so used to being in the wrong, I'm tired of caring,

Loving never gave me a home, so I'll sit here in the silence.

I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long,

I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been silent for too long.

I've been quiet for too long,

I've been quiet for too long,

I found peace in your violence,

Can't show me, there's no point in trying,

I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long.
