Ch 29: Closure

He turned his head to me and sighed;
"surpriseeee.", giving me a sad smile.

This was not what i was expecting at all.

His eyes were puffy red and he was almost covered in snot. Okay not actually covered but you get what i mean.

Oh my godd

I didn't bother to ask if he's okay, i know damn well he isn't.

so instead I plopped myself onto the wooden floor and sat next to him.

".....do you wanna talk about it?" I asked softly.

"It's stupid." he grunted, wiping his nose
I can tell he's trying to hold his tears so hard

"I like stupid." I said, leaning closer for no absolute reason

He avoided eye contact for a second, but the moment our eyes finally met, he pouted trembly and broke down. I'm gonna be honest it kinda hurted to see him like this. It was a rare sight.

I take it back. It really hurt. It really did. I couldn't help but slowly wrap him
Around my arms.

That did make him cry harder. But knowing the fact that he was comfortable enough to have his tears wet my uniform makes me genuinely happy.

The tighter I hugged him, the harder he cried. Literally what was I expecting

He finally pulled himself away from me and wiped his tears. "....I left a treat there." he chuckled, looking at the mess he made in the chest area of my uniform.

"It'll dry." I shrugged. "....so...do you still wanna talk about it?"

Neito leaned on the wall and gave a big, heavy sigh.

"It's not really because I'm sad...Okay I lied it is. But it didn't start that way. It's just— Seeing people being genuinely excited about my birthday just gives me so much joy...I just don't feel like i deserve
it at all..."

I had a really good and long and aggresive response to the last fucking sentence, but I let him continue.

"—and...no one has ever been this considerate of me. Well, atleast not since my fourth birthday." He finished.

"Oh...What makes your fourth birthday..special?"
I asked.

"I'm glad you asked. You see, I have always fancied throwing birthday parties ever since i was a brat.
..Well unfortunately, that was the day my quirk was fully developed." Monoma said.

I guessed it right. But "unfortunately?"

"......It happened during my birthday party too...everyone found out about it and told me to test it. I didn't have any idea how the fuck this bad boy worked, but everyone was pressuring me to do it."

"—I can't believe i got cornered on my own fucking birthday. I got anxious and grasp on one of my friends out of fear. That person was the only one who had a fire breathing quirk in our school that time, and he was a fucking snob. You can guess what happened next."

"....flames came out of your mouth?" I said.

He nodded his head. "Everyone thought I had the same quirk as good ol flamethrower."

"—Oh he didn't like hearing that. I told you he's a snob. He did connected the dots pretty quickly too, so he demanded me to grasp onto this one girl with a earth quirk and see what happens." The next thing I knew, I was summoning plants from my neighbour's lawn, inside my house."

"—Everyone looked down on me, and collectively left right after I was cutting my cake. It was a strawberry shortcake too. STRAWBERRY!!"

"...strawberry...." I said. I didn't really have much to say, no nvm infact i have alot to say, but i really wanna let him finish.
