My Mate

Hate 9

Midoriya Izuku's POV

The bell was heard throughout the school signalling the start of the homeroom. We waited for our homeroom teacher and as always, Aizawa sensei can be seen coming to the room inside his sleeping bag. But what concerns all of students are his eyebags which are darker than usual. Seems to me that he did not sleep well last night. I do wonder what's up?

"Ok, brats, do you remember those villains that ramdomly attacks people?" Without further ado, he asked us this question.

The entire class was silent. Waiting for him to continue.

"According to the investigation, this was caused by the group who attacked us last exam"

Last exam? Did he meant THAT exam where I went into heat.

Suddenly, that person's face went into my mind. His face and his body is scarred all over. It seems to me that he suffered a lot. How much pain has he been through? Did he cry a lot that time? Thinking of all his pains and that he's all alone makes me unable to breathe when I felt a whack on my head. Ouch, that really hurts. When I raised my head I saw Aizawa sensei with his fist up.

"So apparently, they are doing crimes more recently. Its causing a lot of public chaos outside, so I want you all to be extra careful especially this omega brat over here who is not clearly listening to what I say."

I flinched and smiled awkwardly to Aizawa sensei.

"Sorry sensei"

Wait? Why am I thinking about that person? I'm not, right?

I looked at Sho, at my Sho who is smiling gently at me.

"You ok?"

"Yeah"

That night, I dreamt of a child crying. He looks a little bit familiar.

I immediately came to ask him what's wrong.

"Waahhhh. It's painful. I want rest.... but I want father to acknowledge me. What do I do? Waahhhh"

"Don't cry kid. Its fine" i wiped his tears and tried to console him

"Its fine? Really, even if i'm not strong enough? Even if my father regarded me as a failure?"

"No. You're not a failure. Don't sell yourself short"

"Then... will you stay by my side"

"Of course". I smiled gently at him.

"You'll never leave me behind?

"Never" I assured him

The white haired kid smiled back at me.

"Thank you, big brother"

I woke up a tear flowing down my cheeks.

With a trembling hand, I looked at the stars through my window.

Then I remembered the child in my dreams....

I tried not to cry in order to not to wake up the sleeping Sho beside me.

Then I looked back in the night sky and whispered the child's name, thinking about him all night..

"Dabi"
