Blood and Ink Izuku

Internships

Izuku POV:

The day of the internships finally came with everyone somewhat excited to do this. Right now, Mr. Aizawa is standing in front of us giving us...sorta a pep talk. "Do you all have everything you need?"

"Yes/yeah."

"Address people properly, Ashido." He quickly shot at Ashido for talking inappropriately to somewhat make all of us snicker a bit. "Now let's make things clear. None of you have authorization to wear your costumes out in public without authority from the pros you're interning with nor do you have authorization for using your quirks unless given. You all are representing UA right now, so don't do something to make us regret having you do this."

"Jeez hobo, relax. None of us are gonna do something stupid like that. Whaddya take us for, kids?" Bendy popped out of me to answer this for Mr. Aizawa to glare at him. "Jeez. This guy keeps making me feel like I stepped on his puppy the other day."

"GET BACK IN HERE BEFORE YOU GET IZUKU INTO TROUBLE!" Alice grabbed Bendy to pull him back inside me with the people around us stopping to see what just happened.

"Midoriya. I hope whoever you're interning with can fix that problem with Bendy. It's annoying."

"I can't really help it sir. He just does that whenever." He rolled his eyes and began walking away.

"Anyway, don't get into trouble. That's all I can say." We all began heading our own way before I noticed Iida. From what I knew, he was going to Hosu city for his internship.

"Hey Iida?"

He turned to see me and smile. "Can I help you, Midoriya?" I was kinda unable to think of what I should say to think what would most likely be the best thing to say at a time like this.

"I uhhh.....Look. I know you went for an internship at Hosu and after everything umm...." 'Dammit. I don't wanna openly call him out for this, but I also don't want him to do what he's doing.' "Just....stay careful, ok? We're friends and I worry about you."

He smiled at me when I said this before responding. "Don't worry, Midoriya. I'll stay careful." He turned to walk away with his answer not exactly reassuring me at all.

"He's going after the Hero Killer, isn't he?" I turned to see Kaachan who was staring at Iida before walking away. "I don't like four eyes much, but that doesn't mean I don't wanna see him die." Her words somewhat made the guilt I was feeling worse knowing if something bad happens, it's my fault. "Look. If something does happen, you can't blame yourself. If four eyes does something stupid and you warned him to be careful since you do worry for him as a friend, then it's his fault. Don't lose as much sleep over it since you did warn him and he chose not to heed it."

I tried to follow Kaachan's words with them still not feeling right. If I shouldn't worry about if Iida, then why do I feel so bad knowing that it could happen? "Ya know she does have a point. You can't blame yourself if Iida does go down this route. Also, the chances of him actually doing this is low. How stupid could ya be for going after arguably the most dangerous guy that would be in Hosu?" I held a bit of irritation hearing the last part of Bendy's comment while getting on the train. "I jinxed it, didn't I?"

"You probably did." A guy stared at me on the train for me to point to my ear as a way to lie and say I'm talking to someone on the phone. Somewhat easier and less creepy looking if  you say that as opposed to saying you're talking to a cartoon character in your head. 'Well, at least I know I can rest somewhat easier knowing today should be a little exciting.'

"Yes. His name is Gran Torino. Dang it legs, stop shaking."
