A Little Vent Session In The Morning | Chapter 26

"Speaking" 'Thinking' ~Pico~

Izuku had a hard time falling asleep. The bed was softer then he was used to, as well as way larger then the teen sized mattress he'd slept on at his old place...

Not to mention the place in and of itself was huge. Thoughts seemed to swarm his mind as he tried to keep his eyes closed. He realized that it'd take quite some time to fall asleep that night.

-

Morning fell and Pico snuck into Izuku's room. She easily slipped under the covers of her father's bed and fell back to sleep right beside him. All while going unnoticed by Izuku as he fell into a dreamless sleep. 

When Izuku woke up, he noticed that there was something, or rather, someone on his side. He turned his head and noticed Pico had managed to sneak into his room as he slept. He had originally thought he would wake up from the slightest movement, but it seems that wasn't true...

Izuku slightly moved in the bed and turned on his side. Pico simply moved and snuggled up to his chest. Izuku looked down at the girl for a moment. She was adorable when she slept. She looked so peaceful by his side. It honestly confused him how she could sleep so soundly while by him. He's not exactly the prettiest looking boy, his body is scarred from head to toe, and now he's overly muscular too, which had to be uncomfortable...

~Pico thinks papa's very comfortable.~ Pico spoke, startling Izuku as he looked down at the girl. Pico's eyes slightly opened and she yawned. ~Why does papa not like his body?~ Pico asked him. Izuku stilled for a moment and let his thoughts run wild.

"Well..., I guess it's because these marks were created in harsh times... Bad events happened and as a reminder..., these marks were placed on my skin..." Izuku told the girl.

Pico looked up at her father with saddened eyes. ~Papa shouldn't think of it like that. Even Pico knows that scars are there to remind them that their alive...~ Pico told her father. Izuku looked down at the little girl with uncertainty. He sometimes forgets that she isn't your average five year old.

~Papa?~ Pico spoke, gaining Izuku's attention. ~Pico doesn't want Papa to ever leave her..., even if Papa grows sad... Pico doesn't want to be alone...~ Pico spoke in a knowing manner. As if she's seen what the world does to people like him, how most of them ended up...

Izuku shook his head. "I couldn't ever leave, not now anyway. I've got my wonderful daughter here with me now, don't I. How on earth could I go and leave her?" Izuku told her as he flopped down onto the mattress. Pico slightly bounced as he fell to the cushion. She gave him a bright smile at his words. 

He really couldn't leave her..., not in this world, it's far too disgraceful for her. If he ever did leave her... Well..., he's afraid that something terrible would occur in the world. Not from others towards her..., but from her. She's..., not your average five year old after all. He has no idea what she's capable of. 

Pico smiled innocently by his side as the two laid in the large bed together.

-

A knock was placed on the door to the boy's room. Izuku spoke for the person to come in, and as the door opened. A large figured man walked in, more specifically, Izuku's double/clone. 

"Ah..., Hajime..." Izuku spoke. He cringed at the unnaturalness of all of this. That body was his, Hajime was him..., it just felt so unreal. 

"Izuku..., Shioru taught me how to act as though I'm a different person..., more so to act up to her standards. She told me that the next spin will more than likely be an acting skill..." Hajime told him. "This is..., I was also thinking..., I'm already a rather well known figure, Hajime that is. But it's not only me..., Kaoru, my daughter..., what will we do about her?" Hajime questioned.

~I can use Papa's skills too!~ Pico chimed in. Both men looked towards Pico. ~I am Papa's quirk, so it's understandable that I can use the same abilities he can, right?~ Pico told them. The two looked at one another before agreeing. It's better than splitting themselves and shifting into Kaoru. 

Pico smiled at the two's look and easily copied her father's quirk, Mirror Imaging. A simplistic quirk that Shioru thought up a couple years ago. Pico easily split herself and the split being shifted into little Kaoru from before. The two girl's looked at one another in slight interest before Kaoru ran over and jumped into Hajime's arms.

Izuku got out of bed and stretched out his body. He still felt slightly sore, gaining muscle in one day wasn't the best for the body..., it left a bit of a burning sensation in his body every time he moved.

~ Papa? Are you ok?~ Pico spoke as she watched his face contort into slight pain. Izuku waved her off, it wasn't really pain, just an ache that remained in his body. It'll more than likely disappear as he gets used to it.

"Mmhh..., Alright, let's go get you dressed." Izuku told the girl. Kaoru and Hajime already scurried off, most likely to find Shioru. Hajime was apparently supposed to be by her side at all times. The worst part about being split, is the fact that they share the same consciousness. Which means that everything that happens to Hajime is pretty much broadcasted to Izuku's brain.

Pico jumped into Izuku's arms and the two walked over towards her room. "Alright..., bath?" Izuku asked the girl. Pico slightly scowled at the thought of water, but nodded none the less. Izuku was honestly surprised at the girl's reaction.
