Even Gods Have Problems

Chapter III

Just as any day would go, Izuku would only get about 2 hours of sleep the night prior before getting up and heading off to work without anything to eat as well, despite knowing good and well Denki would find out and he indeed would be scolded. Though once making it to the planetarium he quickly noticed that there were hardly any people there that day, much unlike regularly when usually there seem to be too many people.

"Ah! Midoriya! There you are I was hoping that you may have slept in so I would only have to call you!" Nedzu said as he walked over to Izuku who was cleaning up his desk area, preparing for his first presentation of the day.

"Oh! Sir hello! I'm sorry did you wish me to stay home today?" Izuku asked as Nedzu only smile reassuringly

"Why yes I had hoped that I could give you a day off today! Seeing as you have taken hardly a single sick day or vacation day since you've started here! And not to mention that there will hardly be anyone coming today seeing it is a holiday!"

"Oh! Today is a holiday? Oh, my I didn't even realize!" Izuku muttered to himself as he fretted over if he should call Denki or not to see if it was a holiday that they had made plans for together that Izuku had most likely forgotten about.

"Don't fret Midoriya it is just one of those nonsense silly holidays that people made up so they could take a day off work! I normally keep this place open for anyone who wants to come but normally no one hardly ever shows up, so I was hoping I could give you the day off." Nedzu explained as Izuku only sighed in relief that he hadn't forgotten anything important

"Well sir I don't mind working today, I enjoy the planetarium, I hardly feel like I'm ever working. Though if you want to give me the day off, I'm more than happy to take it, though I will most likely be staying here either way as a customer more so than an employee" Izuku explained as Nedzu only chuckled to himself

"Well, I am happy to hear that you enjoy working here so much, and if that is the case then you are free to stay here as a customer if you wish though I very well plan to pay you either way." Nedzu explained

"But Sir! I won't exactly be working! You shouldn't pay me for doing nothing!"

"Nonsense take this as my appreciation for your dedication and hard work these past months. Now go enjoy your day Midoriya I will see you tomorrow!" And with that the man left without letting Midoriya protest against him paying him any longer.

"Well okay then." Izuku muttered to himself as he then explored the ginormous planetarium. After what seemed like hours of Izuku looking at all the odds and ins of the planetarium as if he was just seeing it for the first time, he made his way out to the gorgeous gardens that the planetarium had.

Izuku would have to admit that he had somewhat ignored the gardens more so than he meant to the last couple months he had been working at UA, though he was grateful that he was able to take today to truly appreciate them and all of their glory.

Though he abruptly stopped when he heard hushed muttering and whispering coming from a statue that he had then soon realized was the famous Deku temple that Sir Nighteye had created when he first created UA. He then saw two men standing at the statue seemingly praying and immediately Izuku felt guilty for lurking on them, knowing that many people would come to the statue to pray for various different things.

Though Izuku would be lying if he said that he didn't stare at the men longer than he meant to, they both seemed ginormous, Izuku could very well tell the shortest they could be was 6'3 and at the tallest he had to guess at least 7 feet tall.

Izuku also couldn't help but notice that the two seemed incredibly strong and very well built. But before Izuku would allow himself to continue staring at these men who were clearing doing something very personal, he slapped his cheeks with his palm as he quickly hid behind a tree and scolded himself for doing such a thing, though he couldn't help his curiosity when he finally picked up a bit on what the two men were talking about.

"Kats, I'm telling you we have to check here."

"Eijirou why would we want to be here. This place.... It's horrible"

"Kats I know trust me it hurts me too but maybe if we find the old scrolls we can find out if Nighteye knew something! Him and Izu were good friends! He studied us his entire life and I know he gave Nighteye more knowledge than he let on."

"Eijirou, I know he did but why would he be here? The stars are-."

"The stars are lost Katsuki. They are trying to find him too. We have been following the stars for the past 400 years, this might be our best bet. We've been ignoring this place for too long. We might get lucky!"

"Eijirou believe me I want to hope that he is here, that we find him, but-."

"No! Kats what I'm saying is, he might be drawn to here! I mean think about it! He blessed this place so long ago! His own magic could pull him here and then we can find him!"

"So, what are we supposed to do? Wait here until he comes here? I will not be staying in this place for the next hundred years! All it does is revel in his death! They didn't know him!" The man called Kats shouted, Izuku could practically feel the Earth shake when the man yelled, and he knew that he should have just taken the day off.

"Kat, I know.... I don't want to be here either.... I don't like being reminded that most people see us as hot headed gods who will destroy them whenever we so please. I just want to find Izuku" The man called Eijirou explained and Izuku swore he heard the term "god" though he hoped it was just his sleep deprivation catching up to him

"I know Eijirou.... I'm sorry. It just hurts being reminded"

"I know Kat but we will find him, then we'll bring him home, and we won't ever let him leave again!"

Izuku knew now that he had most certainly walked in on a conversation no one was meant to hear. Though despite the pounding of his heart and the blood that filled his ears, he quickly ducked behind every tree and bush he could, to stay hidden, and finally the gate door to the parking lot was only about 100 feet away from him!

Though there were no trees, no bushes, no statues, nothing to hide behind. Izuku knew he would have to make a dead sprint for it and pray that the two men didn't notice him until he was already halfway to the train station.

"Oi! Who are you?!" Izuku flinched when he heard the booming voice yell at him, he didn't want to turn around, he didn't want to let these men know what he looked like or who he was. Though he couldn't help but feel a familiar yet unrecognizable feeling welling up inside him, as he felt the intense and burning gazes of the two men.

"Turn around now." Izuku once again flinched at the tone though noticing it was a different voice that the one who had yelled previously. And despite Izuku's better judgment, despite his every instinct telling him to book it out of there, he turned around and faced the men.
