A text lit up your phone, you read it and just sighed. It was Izuku, he was asking if you were okay, since you hadn't texted or called him in a few days or answered any of his attempts to contact you.

"I'm fine, just kinda tired" you answered him.

You were laying on your bed after taking a shower. You still had your towel wrapped around you since you hadn't bothered to put on anything but your underwear. You had told him you were tired, but in reality, you were exhausted. You had been working your butt off the last three days and honestly you just wanted to go to sleep for a week or maybe fall into a coma.

Your phone chimed again with a new message: "Wanna talk about it?" Izuku asked.

"Not really, tell me about your day instead?" you texted back.

Midoriya knew you weren't really feeling like talking about what had been going on with you, so he just did as you requested and told you about his day.

You weren't really in the mood to interact with anyone, but you desperately needed companionship and someone to talk to, even if you didn't want to.

"Call?" you asked him.

"Sure"

You dialed his number and he answered almost right away.

"Hey you" you said, but the words lacked the usual liveliness.

"Hi, are you alright? You've been pretty reserved with your answers" Izuku said.

"I'm just... depressed I guess, and I haven't had a break in days"

Midoriya knew he couldn't really offer to just come over, since UA had such strict rules with leaving the campus, because of the recent villain activity. He wanted to comfort you somehow, to make you feel at least a little bit better.

"I want to make you feel better, but I don't know how" he said.

"I don't really know either, but hearing your voice already helps a lot"

The two of you talked for a while, well Izuku did most of the talking, since you didn't really have much to say. When you hung up, you were left feeling just a bit better, but still exhausted, so you just went to sleep.

Midoriya couldn't help but think you were more tired and burned out than you let on. He decided to arrange his weekend so he could come visit you. Even if he couldn't stay overnight, he really wanted to see you. He missed you and wanted to make sure you were okay.
