Unexpected Hero (BNHA Various x Reader)

55

Two days after the conference, you're lying in bed late at night wide awake, you continuously run through scenarios with your friends, but you know that the only thing you can do is wait. Lately, you've been having a nagging feeling that some of your stuff was out of place, or sometimes even you yourself felt slightly off, but it wasn't enough for you to actually investigate it.

You toss and turn when you see your phone screen light up, you almost hesitate to grab it, but when you read the message, you immediately leap out of bed. 'It's happening...'

You open your door and begin hurriedly walking down the hallway, when you round the corner, you bump into Kaminari.

"l/n—what're you doing up so late? Were you that excited to see me?" He says though it's obvious at that moment that he was on his way to see you.

"Huh? What—no, I need to go. I-I'll see you later, kay?" You say, then continue to walk away. He watches you, confused. Normally, something like what he said would make you flustered, but for some reason, you completely ignored it. He continues to watch you walk away, then decides that he'll ask you about it in the morning.

You meet Midoriya in the elevator, and on the way down, you grab his hand in an act of courage and squeeze it gently—he returns the gesture, and when the door opens, you let go.

"Did you all get the message?" Kirishima asks.

"We did," Tsuyu replies, and you nod your head along with Uraraka.

"The day we move," Midoriya says. 'Tomorrow... this matter will finally be resolved...'

On the way back to your room, you stand next to Uraraka and Tsuyu in the elevator. You glance over at them and their serious expressions, and you let out a breath. 'That's right—we'll need to be properly focused tomorrow...' When you get off the elevator, you give them both a quick hug and look at them, almost trying to communicate telepathically that everything will be alright.

'When did I become this touchy-feely? I don't remember ever giving out hugs like this... Maybe I just really care about my friends, but this still feels abnormal...' You go to sleep that night still tossing and turning—but this time, it's because you can't wait until tomorrow morning.

You wake up the next morning before your alarm can ring, and you immediately get dressed—you scramble downstairs and finish your breakfast quickly. You glance up once from your meal and realize that no one else is awake yet. 'I guess I can just wait for them... They won't be too long, after all.'

You sit down on the couch and close your eyes, imagining what kind of tasks you'll have to do today. "l/n, morning" You twist yourself around to see Iida standing behind you.

"Iida, you're up early..."

"What do you mean? I always wake up at this time—you're the one who's up early."

"Oh..." You look down slightly.

"l/n what wrong—you always make that face when something's on your mind..." You blush slightly, surprised that he noticed a detail like that. 'No, I can't tell him...'

"Uh... Don't worry—it'll all be figured out today, so..."

"Okay..." he leans over the couch slightly, his hair brushing his face slightly, "don't keep me in the dark for too long..."

You nod your head and smile at him, 'mm hm, yeah... I'm doing this for you guys—I knew I made the right choice...'

He blushes, then turns away suddenly, "I-I'll see you later, l/n."
