Nezu's Private Class

Chapter 32: Party and meeting with the devil!

A/N: Celebrate the end of the exams! Class 1-A finishes their finals and it's time for Hatsume, Shinso, Izuku, and Nezu to surprise all of the first years with a party. Nothing can go wrong at all. Not even a little bit. Surely they get a break.

Izuku POV:

'I'll be sure to tell you dad Hi!'

'QUIRKLESS BRAT'

'Look what you've done to this family.'

'Useless.'

"Please-" I sob into my hands. "Let me sleep."

   The last few days have been filled with nightmares. Every time I close my eyes I either see Shigaraki or my father and I don't think I can look at them anymore. Yamada's been helping me when he finds out I have nightmares but I don't want to burden him.

   He works so hard to just make me happy, it would be ungrateful for me to wake him up during the middle of the night. Even if I want his comfort so bad. He and Aizawa have done so much for me, they even signed me up for much needed therapy, I don't want to mess this up. I have to make them proud!

'How the heck do I do that?' I ponder.

"Izu' you okay?" Yamada opens my bedroom door.

"Hm? Oh no I woke you up." I whisper.

"Nah, I was already up, working on grading some papers. I came upstairs when I heard some whimpering. Did you have a nightmare?" He sits down on my bed with me.

"Yeah... b-but I'm okay." I gave him a smile that he clearly didn't believe. He frowns a bit before pulling me in for a hug.

"You know, I want to talk to you about your nightmares, if you feel comfortable, so don't think I view this as a burden. Because nothing you do will ever be a burden to me Izu." He kisses my forehead.

"Thanks, dad." I hugged his waist and only cried a little bit.

"Mhm." He smiles while making small circles on my back.

"I'm so tired, but I'm afraid to fall asleep." I mumble into his side.

"What can I do to help? Do you like it when I cuddle with you, or would you like a nightlight, or maybe a white noise machine? I want to help." He whispers.

"I don't know... I like it when you're here but... I'm afraid something might hurt you." I tear up again.

"Izu, nothing is going to happen to me or Shouta or you, I promise. As long as I'm with you I won't let anyone or anything even get close enough to hurt us." He whispers and I nod my head.

"Let's get some rest okay? You have a big day tomorrow." He ticks me in and lays next to me, holding me tight.

"I love you." I whisper.

"I love you too." He hugs me.

   The rest of the night faded into dark shades of blue as I shut my eyes. This felt good and for the first night in a few weeks I fell asleep and got real rest. The entire night I held on to him though. I don't want to lose this feeling. I don't want to lose my family.

   Morning came after the night and because of my rest I was able to eat more breakfast than normal. I think I'm getting better again. I noticed Aizawa's smile when he saw how much I ate. It wasn't as much as him or Yamada but it made me feel good that he was proud of me.

   I showered and put on my uniform. The injuries on my shoulders are starting to scar but they should be little. It's not affected my ability to punch or stab so I guess they aren't too bad. I walk down to the car and we drive to school.
