Rya stood up from her humiliating collision with the tree and started walking again with her partner. Silence over took part of their trekking, taking in the beautiful scenery around them.
"Rya." He spoke up. She looked at him, giving him her attention. "Why don't you use your quirk more?" He asked.
"That's easy, I'm an emotional wreck. One of my drawbacks is that it goes haywire when I'm too emotional. I choose to use it when I know I'm feeling okay." She told him. "There's a reason why Manoma said that I made bad things happen."
"Quit taking that guys words to heart, I'm tired of you feeling defeated every time he opens his mouth." He said a little irritated. "Why do you let him have so much power over you?"
"It's not like I'm not trying to stand up to him. The last time I did that he smacked me hard across the face." She met his eyes. "Since I came here, I'm slowly trying to take that power back."
"The way he makes you feel though, it's like he knows exactly how to hurt you the most." He expressed, taking her hand in his. "Is there something else that I need to know?"
Rya inhaled a deep breath, "Perhaps...one day when I was eight, I passed him a note in class telling him I liked him. Maybe he was disgusted by that note, since then he hasn't left me alone."
As much as Sato wished he knew that piece of information earlier he shook his head and looked at her, she was finally expressing her deepest thoughts and insecurities with him. He was deeply thankful for that, she had come a long way in such a short time. "Thank you for telling me, Rya. That must have been hard to confess."
She nodded, feeling his hand squeeze hers sweetly, "Not too hard, it's easier to talk to you now."
"Question is, do you still have feelings for him?" He looked down at her.
"No." She giggled at the question. "Sato, I think it hurts because he was the first person I ever told my feelings to. It's why I hold things in all of the time, it's the reason why I keep to myself because of how he reacted. It's not that I have feelings for him, it's the fact that my feelings were so violently rejected that it made me feel like I didn't matter to anyone."
Sato stopped in his tracks to face her for a second. he brushed her hair away from her face, he placed his hand on the back of her neck, kissing her forehead. "You matter much more than you know."
"I know." She blushed, glancing downward.
"Okay." He smiled. "Last time we had a conversation like this, you said maybe one day...look at that, the day has arrived."
"Hey, Love birds!" They heard their Sensei's voice interrupt their moment. "Keep up with the class or get left behind."
"Yeah, sorry Mr Aizawa." Rya replied as they caught up with the class. Aizawa was right, the walk did take up most of the day. By the time the class sat down to rest, it was pitch black outside. All Might and Present Mic later arrived and they started a fire big enough for the class to warm up next to.
Once everyone was situated, Aizawa stood in the middle of them, "I brought you out here for one last exercise before we head back to UA. It's no doubt that all of you are physically strong, can take on any challenge and work as a team. All of you have surpassed my expectations in every exercise and I am very proud of you." He told them. It was rare to see Aizawa in such a sentimental state of mind. It startled the class but it was also refreshing to see another side of their beloved sensei. "There is one strength that I have neglected to add, Emotional. This lesson will probably be the hardest you've ever done and I ask you all to be respectful to one another."
"What is going on, Mr Aizawa?" Uraraka asked.
"All of us are going to share something we've gone through that has hurt us deeply, or traumatized us. I don't want anyone to hold back, this is a safe place and what is said here will stay here. No one is to repeat what is said tonight to anyone outside this class, understood?"
"Sensei, why are we doing this?" Deku asked.
"A hero, no matter how successful can get depressed or emotional. Sometimes a hero will take their work home with them, especially when they failed to save someone. It hurts like hell and none of you will be exempt from feeling that in your profession. This is also a way to get to know your classmates a little more, to help bond you to each other."
"What a load of granola hippie crap!" Bakugo shouted. Aizawa narrowed his eyes at the noisy problem student.
"Since you're so eager to talk, you can share first." He said sternly.
"Yeah right, like I would share any weak ass story with you guys. As if I have any to share anyways." He growled.
"Fine, you can be expelled from my class and be placed in 1-B with all the little "extras" as you call them."
"You can't do that!"
"Try me, Bakugo."
He growled and looked down at the fire, "fine, when I was five I had a lot of friends who followed me around including Deku over there." He pointed to the green haired boy. "I fell into the river and Deku tried to help me up. I hated the fact that he did that, it made me feel as if he saw me as weak."
Aizawa nodded, "Good." He looked at Deku who looked incredibly angry at Bakugo for bringing up the story, that traumatized him? Bullshit. "Midorya, anything to say."
