Decayed Legacy (Izuku Midoriya x OC)

Chapter 5

-Emiko Hakamada POV-

I was in the infirmary, checking up on Midoriya, but also needing some alone time.
"Hey, kiddo" it was Miss Yukiro. "You okay?"
"Miss Yukiro" I said. "I'm fine"

She sat down next to me.
"I'm gonna be honest with you" she said. "I'm not just a teacher or tailor here. I also happen to have a psychology degree. I'm kind of the school guidance counsellor. I heard what happened during training"

"I thought I had it under control" I whispered.
"Hey, you did" she said. "You didn't have an episode, and you healed him. That's amazing progress, Hakamada. You have a difficult past, and today you took a huge step in moving forward. Don't think you're still stuck, one day, you'll get better at controlling your fear"

"Will it ever go away?" I asked.
"Fear never goes away completely" she said. "But we can control our fear. And that's what you did, and you won!"
I chuckled and smiled at her.

"I did" I whispered.
"You were incredible, Hakamada" she said. "Also, I might have brought someone who you feel comfortable with"
Hitoshi showed his head and I chuckled.

"Hey, Emi" he said and sat down where Miss Yukiro sat previously. "You okay?"
"I'm fine now" I said. "I promise"
I let my head fall on his shoulder.

"I am glad you're here though" I said and looked at Miss Yukiro. "Thank you, Miss Yukiro"
"No problem. You're both excused from classes" she winked. "And if you want to talk, Hakamada, my office is always open"
"So, what happened? I thought you were hurt, since Miss Yukiro brought me here" said Hitoshi.

"I used my Quirk on someone during training" I said and he was surprised. "But I controlled my fear and healed him"
"That's amazing, Emi" he said and wrapped his arm around me. "I'm proud of you"
"Still, I wish you were there, Hito" I said. "You belong in the hero course"

"Don't worry" he said. "I'll catch up soon"
"Don't make me wait too long, Hito" I said. "Otherwise I'll be so far ahead, that it'll be impossible for you to catch up"
"In your dreams, Hakamada" he laughed.

My father picked me up from school, since the school was forced to call my father if anything happened to me or my mental health.
"We're doing pizza and bad movies" he said in the car and I chuckled.

"Sounds great, dad" I whispered and touched the scar on my arm.
'Ten-nii, I wonder what you would think of me now'
We passed someone with blue hair and for a second I thought that I was imagining something.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
'It's been a long day...'

The next day, it was almost impossible to get into the school.
My dad had warned me, that ever since it became public knowledge that All Might had become a teacher at UA, the media would storm us.
I saw that Midoriya was struggling with the reporters.

"Excuse us" I said to the woman. "He's been injured and needs to see the nurse"
"Miss Hakamada! Please, a word!" said the reporter.
"We don't have a lot of time before class" I smiled. "Education is important, so you'll have to excuse us"

I dragged Midoriya with me to the school.
"Thank... Thank you Hakamada" said Midoriya and I saw that I was still holding his hand.
I blushed and let go.
"Sorry" I said. "And it's no problem. The media is annoying"

"You handled that like a pro" he said and I chuckled.
"My dad taught me how to handle those media people" I said. "Since he's so popular, sometimes they bother me"

"That must be hard" he said and I shook my head.
"He's the best father I could dream of" I said. "So I don't mind dealing with the media people"

-Third Person POV-

Aya Yukiro was laughing.
"Stop laughing already, Aya" said Aizawa, but that made her even laugh harder.
"Please, it's hilarious" she said. "You dealing with the media, it's so funny, Shota"

He ruffled her hair and there was a hint of a smile.
"Stop it, I hate it when you do that, Sho" she said and he smiled.
"I know, that's why I do that" he said.
