Dead Hero's Heart

Chapter 19

Izuku glanced at Uraraka with his piercing green eyes glowing in her deemly lighten room. She could understand by the way he was looking at her, that there was something he needed to do, like an important guest that she probably couldn't figure out. But she didn't want him to leave her side, not at such an important moment.

Everyone would be anxious with what they were going to to. Seriously, go after one of the most wanted villains on all the country? They were crazy to begin with to even think about it. But the need to protect and stand by their friend led them to this. How important it felt for them to not lose another one of their classmates. And even though the gold was given the choice, and she had choose to stick with the plan her other friend, Iida, had thought of, she couldn't help but be worried of what they are going to encounter.

The ghost quirk user was always her hero, or at least from the day they met. She viewed him as perfection, the person she wanted to become like, the one and only number one. And in this world, where stories straight out of comic books were a reality, she couldn't help but need the hero she looks up to, to be by her side. She felt comfort while he was there, like there was nothing that could harm her. There was nothing, of course, wrong with that, but the boy wasn't aware of all these feelings inside of the girl.

He needed to fulfill a purpose that he felt like it was imprinted in his DNA. He wanted to go to his grave and hear, what Todoroki had to say, out. He could feel the gentle pull inside of him toward that direction, from the very moment he had burst into the girl's room, but he couldn't just leave without explaining. He needed to tell her so she could inform Iida.

He hated to leave her alone. Even though he knew that she would soon meet Iida. He wanted to protect her, like a hero would always do. She was the most important person in his life, of course after his mother. The first person to actually talk to him, view him as an equal and don't mock him. Why wouldn't he want to keep her safe when he knew they were particularly walking into their own graves. Especially now that this action of his won't have any backlash to his body and he need not to hold back all the time in order for him to not become a useless bag of bloodied meat and broken bones.

Before he give her enough time to firm a response inside her mind, Izuku shot off through her wall, surprising her once more with his incredible speed. She sighed sadly and turned to look at the ground. She took her phone in her hands and typed back a reply to the class representative before putting it away and started getting ready.

'Alright Iida. Meet you at the entrance in five minutes'

'See you there'

Midoriya flew down to his grave, thanking silently the teachers the idea to put it so close to the dorm building as it made it quicker for him to arrive there. Like Iida had mentioned, as well as his guts were screaming to him, he found someone seating in front of his grave stone. Looking at the hair of the person, there was no way for him to had been mistaken as the teen was indeed Shoto, who like last time was in his knees in the dirt of the grave.

The boy arrived there and levitate in front of the boy, hearing him whispering a prayer that sadly he couldn't understand. His eyes were soon caught by something colorful in the ground and as he turned to look at it, he noticed a bouquet of blue flowers resting in the ground. He smiled at their sight as he remembered that the previous night, the boy had pointed out that he hadn't brought anything as an offering to the deads soul.

Of course, that wasn't something he had to do. It was just another tradition that had passed from generation to generation, and if Izuku to whom all these presents were dedicated to had any saying to that matter, he would say that his friends didn't need to go as far as that. But it was still nice to see how much they valued and cared about him as to bring a single flower in every of their visit.
