"𝐈'𝐌 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐘 for making you cry... I felt terrible all day thinking about it." He whispers solemnly into my neck and I move my arms tighter around his neck, my heartbeat calming as I get used to his embrace.
"Iida it's ok... you didn't make me cry, I made myself cry sort of. I mean I was overthinking too much." I tell him softly and I can hear a sigh of relief on my shoulder.
"(Y/n)... I don't think I can look you in the eye when I tell you what happened... can we just stay like this?" He whispers as he leans into my ear.
My heart races, I know he's asking because he's about to admit that he almost killed someone but is the guilt that much he can't even look at me? I think that's where we differ as people, I wouldn't feel guilty about something like this... I would move on and look people in the eye when I tell them.
I'm just some annoying teenager who would try to act confident in this situation if I was him, but I just have the need to look people in they eye when I tell them I'm a terrible person and I've done something wrong. Iida's not terrible though, and I don't think what he did was the worst thing to ever be done.
But I just can't blame him, he's a normal person who feels bad when doing something bad. It's a burden he's been carrying for almost a year, and having people know that about you and judge you for it is scary.
"Of course we can stay like this..." I breathe out and he takes in a large breath of air, mentally preparing himself.
A part of me feels bad that I know and he probably wanted to me to hear it from him but, Hawks didn't mean to tell me and I didn't mean to find out from anyone but Iida. I should've kept my mouth shut and not inquired Hawks further... I'm so shitty.
"During my internship last year, I messed up. I really screwed everything up." He starts and I can tell he hates himself for it, I feel almost heartbroken over knowing that... it's depressing but I don't know why I feel so depressed myself hearing that.
"I endangered not only myself but Midoriya and Todoroki... I tried to get revenge and I almost died." His voice wavers and I feel my body sink as I think about him close to death again. I hated thinking about it earlier... and I hate hearing about it now.
