You know, when I fell asleep, I thought I would be dead since I don't sleep. Or at least enter a coma.

I did not expect to wake up an hour later still in pain. I understand that I got struck by lightning, but that is nothing compared to losing an arm. I think.

People die from both, so I'm not sure what is worse. I guess lightning since you are more likely to die from that? But then, if your arm does go on the chopping block, you're one arm less for the rest of your life unless a quirk is out there to help you.

Now looky me! I get to experience both! I'll tell you which one is worse eventually. For now, I hate life!

Damn, I got way off topic.

"Izuku, are you awake already?" Momo asks- wait, why is Momo here? Shouldn't literally anyone else be babysitting my dumbass?

Whatever, go off.

I casually respond with, "No, I'm dead."

Momo ignores the comment and just takes the fact that I am awake, "I'm surprised you're awake already. I thought it would have wore you out much more. Though, I guess it is you."

"I am really breaking standards if just being me is enough to explain certain issues. Maybe I should use that on Aizawa."

"Please don't."

"But he my brother from a far nother mother."

Momo sighs, "Are you in pain?"

"A little bit, why? Do you have medication?"

"Yes." I open my eyes and sit up to see a tired Momo. She does not look good. I'm not saying she is ugly before anybody attacks me. I'm just saying she looks unhealthy. That's legal.

"Um, are you okay?"

Momo offers me a small smile as she hands me the good shit, "I'm good. I just overused my quirk." I down my medication like a gummy bear before responding.

"I can tell. Is everyone in the class in a similar position?"

"Unfortunately, yes...I don't know what to do, Izuku. I know we're asking alot with how you are now, but we need your help. Everyone is close to giving up, even if Bakugo is standing. We both know he's not the most proper leader, though he is getting better."

"I know. Do you know if Bakugo got what I asked for?"

"Yes, he did as well as a couple of other things. Why?"

"It means we have a better chance. I also know that Aizawa is probably coming now if he ever did receive the messages about my robots getting destroyed. He might be coming illegally though. If he isn't, someone is stopping him. Actually, lots of people would be."

"That would help. I sent an SOS signal on a drone before we came here."

"Good. That increases the urgency of the situation and might bring more heroes over. However, I don't know how much time we have. I'm surprised that we are able to relax unless I am missing something."

"Bakugo said that the villain with multiple quirks seemed to suddenly be in pain, and they retreated. That was soon after you were struck by lightning. He said it will probably take a while for him to recover." That is SIGNIFICANT information! It means the guy has a limit!

I grin decorates my features as my hyperactivity comes back, "Yes yes yes! We have a weakness! IT ALL MAKES SENSE! HE'S AFTER THE KID BECAUSE OF THAT WEAKNESS!"

Momo looks at me as if I have lost it, "Izuku, you're going to have to explain."

"Can do! The guy was after a kid with a cell regeneration quirk. Presumably, it's needed by someone if they are after it, especially now. If the All for One ripoff is the one needing it, it means there's a limitation. If I was a betting boy, I would put it all on how much he can use his quirks. Think about it: ain't nobody going to be able to strike lightning and come out of it unharmed. Look at Kaminari. He is wacko in the brain just like me cause of electricity. That's why he has to be careful, and he isn't even going that strong compared to All for Bitch. Lightning? He's probably destroying himself!"

"That would make sense. Then, why would he use the quirk in the first place? It seems to be too high of a risk to use when he has other quirks in his disposal. I wouldn't use it at all if I knew it was going to destroy me."

"I don't know the All for One jazz, but he either really likes that quirk or he has some close connection to it. Maybe it was his original quirk or something like that."

"It's crazy to think someone has that powerful of a quirk."

"No shit. However, if he is destroying himself because of it, it doesn't sound worth it to me. Higher power equals higher costs."

"Okay, so we have that now. How are we going to use that against him?"

"Simple: he's practically an old man. He'll probably get a heart attack or something if he overuses his quirks. We do that. The only concern I have is the fucking tubes he has sticking out of his back. It's filled with something, though I don't know with what. I am thinking it reverses the damage temporarily or something like that. It puts a dick in our plans."

"That makes sense. What about the other two? The woman who can make needles with her hair and the mutation quirk?"

"Well, they're probably going to come together. That's not a good thing. I ain't scared of needle bitch, but the blue furry is extremely fucking dangerous. I consider him an equal threat to Bitch on Bitch. I need to check out the island before coming up with a plan."

Momo nods, though she seems tired of all my stupid little nicknames, "If you are able to move, we can go now while it is dark outside," I immediately hop to my feet, and she grabs my arm, "Not that abruptly. You should still be careful."

"I'm on drugs! I'm a happy camper!"

Momo sighs again, "Maybe I should grab Iida just in case."

"We'll be fine, no worries!"

With no further argument on her part, we head outside to see what we are working with. However, before we can go outside, we have to go through the camp to actually get outside. As we make our way through, I see all these citizens who have been forced away from their homes because some dumb shits couldn't mind their own damn business.

It also puts the realization that I have to protect these people from hell. Not only them but my classmates and Katsume and Mahuro as well. They are all relying on me to come up with a plan to protect them.

I have so many lives in my hands. Honestly, this is one of the scariest things in my life. Sure, I've done I-Island, which is like this is so many ways, but I also had heroes and technology at my side somewhere. Here, there's no other heroes besides the students. It's not that I don't trust them. They are great. However, if one of them dies here, their death is on me as well. In addition, we are lacking resources. I can't just pull something out of my ass and expect the materials to be there. I have to know what I have first and then come up with a plan. It's nauseating, but I have to do it. I rather it be me than anybody else having to do this.

Once we step outside, I take note of how we are on the tiny island separate from Nabu Island. This island is just ruins, but it works as a camp. Luckily, the camp is more in the center than an edge, so we have room for destruction. There's also only one access point to it, which is walking down the path connected to it.

Someone with the right type of quirk can get on the island another way. However, I don't believe any of them have that quirk. They wouldn't have come to the island on a stolen ship (Unless they are just dramatic. In that case, I have no clue.) if they had a way otherwise.

Of course, one could say that Nabu Island is far away from land, and they would be right. It would make sense for them to steal a boat then, but they would have used the water to their advantage somehow. That's why I am removing that possibility. Thus, the only way for them to get on that island is the pathway.

The first idea to come to mind is to blow up that pathway so they can't get here. The issue with that is they would eventually find a way over, and we can't easily bring the citizens back once the bullshit is finish. That being said, we can use it as a good attacking point since the villains can't move around much.

Unfortunately, that also means I am assuming that I know Bitch for Shit's quirks. He could have more, and I just sort of have to hope he doesn't.

Right now, I know he has a quirk that makes shields, laser fingers, lightning control (I should ask about that one. That's the only one I didn't see in action), and some dragons. That's not great, but it's manageable. He doesn't have shock absorption or some shit.

Speaking of that, we also know that he is going after Katsume for his regeneration quirk since he can only use his quirks for a certain amount before collapsing. That's great to know.

The final piece are his side bitches, Furry and Slice. Slice isn't an issue, but from seeing Furry's fight against my classmates, he's going to be a huge one.

"You have any ideas, Izuku?" Momo asks as she looks at me with a concerned look.

"Shoot them, " I say with no hesitation because it is a viable solution. She's too tired to consider it.

"Seriously."

"Yeah, I have a couple of legitimate ones. Come on, let's head back."

With all the information at hand, we return and prepare.

The relief on their faces when I enter the discussion room slaps me once more with the reality that I have to save everyone here with a bombass plan.

---

I wish there was Vietnam War music playing in the background. That would make me so much more confident in this, or, at the very least, amuse me before my death. Though, I guess that would give my position too.

Just because I want to die more than usual doesn't mean I'm just going to throw myself out there. I have bitches to watch over.

Anyway, it is morning, and I am chilling in the bushes near the pathway to Nabu Island. As soon as those fuckers arrive, I will initiate the first part of the plan: get rid of as many fuckers as possible. Otherwise known as get rid of the weaklings! This is pretty simple as all I have to do is spark the ground with my baton and hope I knock one of them out. To be honest, I expect only All for Bitch and Spikey to pass out from it. The Furry looks like it needs something more heavy duty. That's why there is multiple parts to the plan.

Did I mention that I am by myself? I am afraid that the dude might be able to see quirk factors seeing as Katsume never used his quirk yet All for Bitch knew he had it. If I bring someone else here, we might get caught.

See what being quirkless will do for you? Be quirkless! You can hide from bitches like him! In exchange, society says fuck you so you can say fuck you back!

I am snapped out of my fuck you phase when I hear footsteps. Peeking out from the top (Thank the lord he decided to make my hair look like one to match. He made it for this moment.), I see the edgy bitchass squad approaching.

Now to wait for that perfect moment.

Come on.

Closer.

Closer...

NOW!

I stab the my electric baton into the ground and turn it on. Sparks explode from the ground all around me.

"WHAT THE HELL-?"

"SLICE!"

I turn off my baton to save energy and pop my head over to see Sharp Bitch on the ground. All for One remix survived by surrounding himself with those stupid dragons while the Furry did as expected. Before they can grab her, I shoot Shouta's scarf at her, wrap her up, and drag her to me. I don't bother staying a second more when I use my boosters to bounce off the trees to get out of there as quickly as possible with the girl flying behind me like a ragdoll. My goal right now is to get back to the top and secure her so she can't escape. After that, I go where needed.

Behind me, I hear my classmates grabbing the fucker's attention.

"Mister Wolf Villain Sir, can you please come with me?!"

"FACE ME, YOU FUCKING EXTRA!"

Iida and Bakugo scream to the villains.

It looks like we are going with Plan B. Well, I guess it's not so much of plan, but rather it determines how many parts we need to perform at once. If Stabby Stabby had stayed awake somehow, it would have been my job to fight her by getting her out and electrocuting her somehow or something.

Yeah, I didn't have a plan if it didn't work out. I was pretty confident in getting rid of her.

From there, as soon as everyone saw the villains reacting like they got attacked, everyone except Sato, Koda, Ojiro, and Shoji comes down and diverts into two teams.

Team one consists of Iida, Ashido, Tsuyu, and Todoroki. Their job is to deal with the Furry. To do that, Iida, and Ashido would lead him away from the area to a river I found a little ways. Once they reach that, Tsuyu, waiting by the river side, will hop into the river and get him in. As soon as she gets out, Iida is going to use max electricity on the fucker with the other baton I lent him. Once that thing breaks, Todoroki is going to freeze him to increase chances of success.

I pray to whoever is above that it fucking works. I don't know that guy's capabilities, so it's possible that it won't work, but if it does, it's more likely to kill him than anything.

Oh well, life of a hero. At least his body will be saved.

Once the job is finished, they will join Team two.

Team two consists of everyone I haven't mentioned yet. Their job is to force the All for One bitch to use his quirks until he is too weak. Then, he will be restrained. As a bonus, I asked them to try and destroy the fucking tubes popping out of his back. I have no idea what they are, whether they heal him or keep him fucking alive (if it is keeping him alive, then we shall have two dead bodies), but I don't want any other factors fucking up my equation.

Hopefully, it works without a fit.

For those curious what Sato, Koda, Ojiro, and Shoji are doing, I guess they technically count as teams three and four? Sato and Koda are watching at the entrance to make sure the civilians don't get attacked while Ojiro and Shoji are at the top of the ruins with Katsume and Mahuro to keep them safe. If needed, the kids will be taken for a run. I deny Sato and Koda will have any issues, but if they do, they can figure it out. They're smart. Koda can probably scare them by making bugs pop up from out of the ground to attack them.

If it works for Hizashi, I don't see how it can't work on others.

When I arrive at the edge of the woods where the start of the ruins are, I tie Jessie from Team Rocket onto it-

Wait.

Hold up-

Izuku, now is not the time. You can figure out of he is James later.

I tie Jessie to a tree, make sure she can't move, and hop to the top where the kids plus Shoji and Ojiro are.

"How are they doing down there?" I ask as I join them. Down below, I see my peasants- I mean classmates working on Only Bitch, though I can see some struggling. Most are still tired from yesterday's bullshit, so we're just wearing down more.

Ojiro shakes his head, "He's showing no sign of slowing down. He's just brutal."

I nod, watching them, "The bitch is approaching too."

"Izuku, we have kids here."

"Ojiro, I nearly died again. I decided to say fuck mannerisms for the time being. I'll deal with Mic later. Right now, he's approaching, and I'm afraid we need to retreat back with them. They haven't gotten the tubes broken either."

"Should I go down there and you and Shoji run?"

"Maybe. Let's wait. The Iida team is here. There's a chance."

Shoji speaks up, "And if we do need to run?"

"I say all three of us go. Sending one person away is not going to help much, no matter who it is. If that happens, Shoji, you have to carry them. Ojiro will be slowed down too much, and we both know I can't with one arm. Ojiro and I will fight the fully grown potato."

"Understood. But be careful. We can't lose you, Izuku."

"I mean, you can lose parts of me."

Ojiro sighs, "Aizawa-sensei will kill you if you lose another limb."

"Probably. He attacked me when I lost my arm."

Usually, I would be much more chatty, but I need to watch the fight. Out of the corner of my eye, I see how terrified those kids are. It sort of cements that we need to win this, not just for them but for the citizens as well as possibly the world. I have no idea what they are after, but if they succeed in getting the kid's quirk, who knows what the fuck they could manage. Subconsciously, I put a piece of Shouta's scarf between my hand and rub it.

Below, my classmates are being thrown around my ragdolls, and it HURTS. I wish I could take it on myself, but everyone was stubborn in keeping me out of the fight as much as possible.

Suddenly, the villain stops as he slams Bakugo and Kirishima to the ground with those stupid dragons. Those disappear.

"Come on, now is your chance," I mumble. I grip Shouta's scarf tightly. Someone can get him now.

Then, I watch rage decorate his face, so unlike the casual look he had before. My eyes immediately focus on the tubes on his back to see the liquid in the tubes drain into him. His face contorts to something that looks as though he just did something like trigger-

Instinct grips my voice, "Get out of here, now!"

"Izuku, what is going on-?"

"No questions, just go!"

Shoji doesn't bother questioning me as he picks up the kids and runs the route I gave him earlier. Ojiro follows after.

I made the right call when the guy rises out of nowhere with a storm appearing over the whole island. A tornado surrounds him with electricity sparking all over the place.

This is power beyond what I suspected. Far beyond what was expected. It's too dangerous to have them fighting at this point.

It's possibly too much for the whole island to handle.

They need to run.

"EVERYONE, RUN! BAKUGO, KIRISHIMA, AND IIDA, WE NEED YOU!"

I scream at the top of my lungs as I run to join with Shoji and Ojiro. I specifically called for those guys because they can make it here in time for a plan to be formed. Everyone else would just be hurt.

It doesn't take long for me to catch up to them, but I make it there just in time.

During the evacuation route, there's a bridge that crosses over a ravine. The idiot is not as big of an idiot I thought he was because one of his lightning strikes actually strikes the middle of the bridge, causing it to crumble just when they are about to reach the other side. Thankfully, Ojiro and the kids were thrown over, but that leaves Shoji falling.

Logically, I jump in. As I fall, I use the grapple on my belt to reach of the edge of the other side. Just as quickly while that shoots, I use Shouta's scarf to capture Shoji midair. I slam into the wall and snarl at the weight suddenly on my left arm and shoulder. Adrenaline is keeping me from feeling pain, even if it is making me shaky. I grit my teeth as I swing Shoji back up to the cliff side.

"Can we grab the grapple?!" Ojiro asks.

"Yeah, but hurry!" I snap back. Shoji grabs the grapple and lifts me up with no issues, "Thank you. We need to keep going-"

"I AIN'T RUNNING IF THIS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT, YOU STUPID DEKU!" Bakugo screams out of nowhere as he blasts over the ravine to join us with Kirishima and Iida. My brain is running at a million miles an hour at this point to try and figure out what to do.

"Iida, take the kids and get as far away as possible quickly. We'll handle it from here."

"Got it!" Iida snatches the kids up and zooms off. We shouldn't have to worry about them for now.

"Okay okay okay. That tornado, did you learn anything about it?"

Bakugo goes to make a comment but Kirishima cuts him off, "It's solid! It's still windy, but it's like facing a wall!"

"Shit, he's combining his barrier quirk with it-" I can't finish when the dragons come at us, forcing us all to jump and separate, "We need to break through! Can you guys do that?!" We need to keep moving.

Bakugo yells, "YEAH YEAH, WHAT ABOUT YOU, DEKU?!"

"I need to get in there and zap him at max!"

"BULLSHIT! EVEN IF WE GET THROUGH THE BARRIER, THAT WIND IS GOING TO STOP YOUR DUMBASS!"

"I know that!"

"THEN COME UP WITH A DAMN SOLUTION!"

I do come up with one. Just a dumb one.

I stay still and let one of the dragons grab me, "FOUND ONE! NOW GET HIM AND GET ME OUT OF THIS WHEN YOU DO SO!" I scream as it pulls me into the storm.

It's windy. Honestly, I know the guy is talking to me, but my heart is pounding and my ears are buzzing. I can't hear much right now.

The jaw crunches down on me, breaking a few ribs most likely, but I hold my breath for them to break through. Meanwhile, I shift my position. I ignore the smell of blood so that I can get access to my grapple. Since the dragons are being withdrawn back into the storm every time they come out, I figure they could be used to bring me close to the guy. I shoot my grapple and grin for the first time today when latches onto his pants. It doesn't seem like he notices either.

They break through the barrier with a loud shatter. Bakugo grabs Kirishima and blasts him into the storm directly at the dragon.

"SMASH!" Kirishima screams as he punches the dragon, it disappearing from the force.

"GET OUT OF HERE!" I yell as I use the grapple to fly at the man. Haired Potato tries to throw me off, but I hold on as tightly as possible despite how fucking agonizing it is.

As soon as Kirishima is out, I pull out my baton and crank it beyond the max.

"FOR EVERY FRIEND AND FAMILY ON THIS ISLAND, PLUS ULTRA ELECTRO ARMOR!"

Without hesitation, I spark the entire storm and everything in it, including him and I. Thankfully, I'm protected, but him?

He's probably dead. He was already close, and I pushed him over the brink

It's like the snap of the finger when everything suddenly goes calm. The storm disappears. The darkness disappears. Sunlight decorates the land to demonstrate an end.

And I'm falling.

But everything is a blur for me.

Shoji catches me and lays me down immediately, "Izuku? Izuku, are you okay?"

I must have closed my eyes at some point because I open them, "...win?"

"Yeah."

The weight that was on my shoulders finally drops, and I pass out to celebrate.

---

"Thanks, Momo."

"It's not a problem. Izuku is my friend just like he is yours."

"Still, you didn't have to go out of your way to wrap him. Could have left it to the nurses."

"He needed it now, and they are busy with the others. He can be taken to the nurses later. Besides, he would want us to focus on them first anyway as sad as it may seem."

"I still can't believe he did another stupid stunt."

"I mean, he didn't perform surgery on himself this time."

"He would have tried." I may be stupid, but I'm not that stupid.

"Yes, but we are going to ignore that part."

"Should we get Aizawa-sensei?"

"He's focused on the citizens right now."

"So All Might can see Bakugo and Kirishima, but Aizawa-sensei can't see Izuku, who went to hell again?"

"All Might is retired."

"I'm still going to be petty."

"He's probably going to take care of him tonight. We've seen how protective he is of him."

"I'll accept that. Maybe we should get them a hotel room so nobody interrupts?"

"Aizawa-sensei probably already has that planned to avoid us." That's so fucking true, tho. He was supposed to have a month vacation without us dumbasses, and he got like, what, a week?

He got ripped-off hard.

"Can't blame him. I wanted a month vacation from him too."

"I would say that, but now we can get Izuku's bank account back."

"You just want the money." And I oop.

"Maybe, but I'm broke. It's perfectly expected."

"True." I agree.

I'm done with the chatting. I want to be awake.

I open my eyes to see Ochaco, Ashido, and Momo above me.

Momo sighs, "I shouldn't be surprised that you're already awake. Try not to move too much."

I huff, "Then what the fuck am I supposed to do? Stay still?"

"Exactly."

"I hate this."

Ochaco crosses her arms, "You wouldn't be suffering this if you would stop being so sacrificial."

"Boo, boring."

"Unless you want me to slap you, I recommend you be quiet."

"Yes, m'lady."

Ashido claps, "Good command, girlfriend."

Ochaco grins, "Thanks! But Izuku needed it."

"No shit."

"No, I didn't. Anyway, status?" I ask.

"Everyone is alive and safe! Oh, and the heroes arrived!"

"Too late."

"Say it, queen."

"Just like All Might during the USJ."

"Oof."

Momo interrupts us, "I should probably head back and help. Izuku, rest."

"I ain't a dog," I snap. She doesn't listen as she heads off.

I wait for her to leave to stand up.

Both of the girls sigh.

"You can't even carry much without hurting yourself. What the hell do you think you are doing?" Ashido asks.

"I'mma go fix the towers temporarily and get the electricity going."

"Is that possible?"

"He just cut the connection. I only need to put it back. Simple fix. As for power, I just have to turn it back on. It's built for stupid shit like this. It's just a temporary shutdown."

"Fine, but Uraraka is coming with you."

Ochaco glares me down, "And if you are even remotely in danger, I'm making you stop."

I raise my hand innocently, "Yes, ma'am."

While Ashido leaves to help the others, Ochaco and I go to fix the connections.

---

Honestly, the walk to those places took much longer than fixing everything.

It totally wasn't because I wanted food on the way there.

Electricity was fixed first, seeing how that is important. As we were leaving, the people hired looked shocked but happy that the power was working. I told them to take the credit and money. They weren't exactly happy with that, so they offered me a giftcard one guy had to a restaurant in town.

We know where I am going once things are fixed.

Connections were a bit more difficult. Those were destroyed by the Furry, but with some DIYing, I got it to work for now. That will need some TLC later.

We then head to that restaurant we got the giftcard for and had another meal since it was dinner time.

Finally, by the time the sun is beautifully decorating the ocean, we return to the agency to find that everyone is asleep except for fucking Yagi. Turns out, the heroes took over everything for the night to let the students rest, and the kids were more than willing to take it.

Me except I want to destroy shit.

Ochaco heads to bed, but Yagi stops me by telling me that Shouta is waiting at a nearby hotel for me.

I guess I have to face the music eventually.

Entering the hotel, the lady immediately recognizes me and tells me where to go.

---

I'm nervous. How is Shouta going to feel this time?

Well, on my behalf, I didn't do surgery on myself this time, so that is a plus. I did avoid medical care, though. Is that better or worse?

I don't know. I'll see, I guess.

I knock on the door, and it's within the second knock when Shouta opens the door in his PJs.

I don't know what hit me, but seeing him triggers something in me. Maybe it's the fact that I don't have freedom anymore. Maybe it's the fact that I finally have someone reliable (sorry, mates) to lean on. Or maybe it's the fact I haven't taken pain meds, and I have been walking around with broken ribs.

I don't know. And, to be honest, I don't care.

Finally, I feel safe again.

"Izuku? Kid, are you okay?" Shouta asks as he bends down to my height. I don't say anything when I tackle him (fuck pain, spread love) into a hug. Immediately he wraps his arms around me, pulls me in, and closes the door behind us, "What's going on, problem child?"

I huff, hiding my head against his chest, "Bold of you to assume I know. I'm just happy you're here, I guess. It's been hell."

He hums, "Why don't you tell me about it while I address your injuries?"

"Later, I'm tired."

"Shocking."

"Shut the fuck up or I'm going back to the restaurant for more shrimp."

"Sorry, but kid, we need to address your injuries first. I'm not letting you sleep on that. We both know it will make it worse."

"I know and quite frankly don't care."

"For my sake, please." I sigh.

"You better be fast."

Shouta guides me to the bed and forces me to sit while he addresses my injuries.

He immediately notices the lightning marks, "What happened?"

"I got struck by lightning."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah. Was told I would be dead if it wasn't for the suit."

"Do they hurt?"

"I'm in pain in general, sir."

"Physically, mentally, or jokingly?"

"All three." Shouta hands me some pain medication though, so I'll take it.

Shouta sighs, "I'm sorry. I thought that nothing would happen, but then this...it's ridiculous."

"You can't prevent everything."

"I know, but it still frustrates me."

"I can tell by your face."

"This isn't about me. It's about you. Talk to me."

"Just felt like the whole world needed me to do this or else it all crumbles. My classmates follow my every command on the field. The citizens can't do anything, and they rely on us heroes. We had two kids that were being chased after that relied on us, but it all went back to me. Maybe the weight of being a hero is finally hitting me."

"It's hit you before. It's just now on a much larger spectrum. I couldn't imagine being in your situation let alone at your age."

"Plus Ultra."

Shouta sighs once more and finishes the bandages, "We need to see a doctor tomorrow for your ribs."

"Alright, can do that."

"For now, you need sleep."

"For once, I fucking agree. It's only because I hate this fucking place."

"Mhm," Shouta joins me, "Sleep is normal, problem child."

"It's overrated."

"Once you grow old, you'll see why."

"Whatever. Night, Shouta."

"Night, Izuku."

We crawl under the blankets, and there is silence for a couple of minutes.

However, I decide to say something I thought I would never say in a million years.

"Sho?"

"Hm?"

"I missed you."

Shouta huffs, "I missed you too, kid."

Maybe I am finally starting to understand emotions.

Or maybe I am becoming a bitch.

Either way, I finally fall asleep naturally.
