The Dark Isn't so Bad After All

I'm tired

Tokoyami's POV

He leaned in and put his hand in my feathers pulling out a twig. I was flustered blushing harder than any other time.

He waved it in my face, "I have leaves in my hair and you have twigs in yours. I think I'm okay" he smiled. A real smile, something that I haven't seen in a while. It was amazing.

We started to laugh and then he slipped, He fell right on his butt.

This made me laugh harder. This started to draw attention to us. Everyone started popping out of corners and hiding places.

Just watching, observing even, Midoriya and I laugh. I guess it was kinda weird seeing me smile and laugh. But with who I was with I guess the suspicion paused.

Midoriya's POV

We laughed, laughing until our sides hurt. I hadn't laughed like this for a long time. It made me feel good and.. happy.

I felt genuine in my emotions and responses. I wasn't hiding behind that mask of fake happiness and excitement for others.

Everything I was feeling was genuine. I like it, this feeling even though I know it's fleeting.

It feels like something warm is wrapping around my heart gently squeezing it so that I can absorb every bit of it. This made me feel something other than fake. I felt... real and alive.

I want to stay like this forever.

In this moment, this feeling, this time.

Third Person POV

As Izuku thought this he began to glow.

(Not literally he ain't getting another quirk.)

He just began to look and feel lighter, like there was something he knew that no one else did or ever would.

He looked normal. For once since he entered UA since he was diagnosed he felt genuine happiness.

It infected those around him.

The others who had started to pop out walked around talking with each other, smiling.

His happiness and laughter spread to the others making the air and atmosphere light.

It got to the point that Mr.Aizawa had walked in and was hit by it.

Making him smile under his capture weapon. He didn't yell or use his quirk. He just told them to go to bed.

Everyone complied heading to their respective dorms. Bright, sleepy smiles adorn their faces as they yawned.

Rubbing their eyes and sending each other off with hopes for good dreams. Midoriya and Tokoyami had already left. Agreeing to go to Tokoyami's dorm. Midoriya looked around in awe, examining everything. From his guitar to his jewelry. 

Midoriya's POV

His room looks so cool. It's not always dark in heis room he has LED lights on his ceiling.
