Remember (Todobaku)

Chapter Twenty-Three

Recovery Girl loved Fridays.

They mood around Fridays was always positive. Even if people came into the nurse's office, their injuries usually weren't as bad.

But this Friday probably took the cake. She'd started off the day by seeing Bakugo, giving him good news that he'd be able to take an exam to get some sort of card that allowed him to perform basic first aid when he needed.

He took his pills.

The day consisted of just ten people in the entire school visiting.

Most were just general studies kids trying to get out of their boring classes.

But now here she was at the end of the day in Nezu's office to report that All Might had made zero progress.

The principal sighs. "My other source reported the same thing. All Might has not changed. He just continues to avoid what he assumes to be his problem and that hurts people in the process. I spoke to him and made him aware that he could be suspended for some time if he made no changes by the end of this week. Since there were no changes, I have no choice but to suspend All Might from teaching here."

"I didn't want it to come to this seeing as he was the number one hero for so long, but changes must be made. In the end, the students are the future and we can't have them around negative people."

Recovery Girl nods in agreement.

"Okay, thank you for coming in. All Might will no longer be teaching here nor will he be a part of the staff."

Recovery Girl bows and makes her leave, sighing heavily at the actions of Toshinori.

When Aizawa decided that leaving earlier than usual was better for this particular Friday, he hadn't expected to see All Might.

Let alone All Might with Bakugo, talking to him quietly as the teenager just did everything to avoid his gaze. It made Aizawa wonder what the idiot was talking about. He was probably spewing some bullshit to make Bakugo feel bad.

So as he gets closer, careful to be quiet so that he could get a better listen before All Might stopped talking.

He wasn't hiding. He was just making sure that he could be as quiet as possible to be able to listen in.

"-to see that I'm having a hard time. Losing my quirk was hard on me and I had to learn to go on-"

As All Might continues, Aizawa gets more and more angry and annoyed at him. Neither one of the blonds had noticed his presence until he finally steps into view and Bakugo straightens up, grabbing the handle of his bag and keeping normal eye contact as All Might drones on, not noticing how Bakugo's whole demeanor changed from 'someone get me away from here' to 'I have to look okay'.

"So I just didn't know how to tell you that even though I did lose my quirk and some of my reputation saving you, I'm glad you-"

He's really talking about his reputation?

Now?

"All Might."

The skinny man stops and turns to Aizawa.

"What kind of apology is that? Spouting this bullshit like 'oh poor me'? That's fucking humiliating for you," Aizawa says, scoffing in amusement at the whole thing, "you're victim blaming a fucking child All Might. Do you hear yourself?"

All Might opens his mouth to speak and Aizawa puts a finger up, shutting him up immediately. "We've both heard enough. Leave."

The other man looks offended and Aizawa is happy he was able to do that.
