Currently Y/N was in his seat, taking a well deserved nap instead of listening in on ectoplasms math lesson. Ever since the end of the Yakuza mission ended, Y/N's been totally drained and lazy, but on the outside he appeared to be doing just fine. Not too long ago they attended Nighteye's funeral, and shortly after that Izuku and Y/N went on their date. Y/N smiled as he remembered the day, it was probably the only moment of peace he had felt ever since his battle with Chisaki and Pain. He didn't get time to properly mourn Jiraiya, but his funeral was today in Konoha, hosted by none other then Tsunade and Orochimaru. In the background he could hear Yaomomo and Izuku shouting the answers, and he scribbled the correct one down lazily as his head lay on his desk. 

He desperately needed to get back into his groove, he felt as if he was going through the days on auto pilot.

"Wake the fuck up damn it!" 

Y/N jerked awake and sat up, blinking lazily at his friends before laying his head back down, he hasn't been getting a lot of sleep recently either.. 

"Damn what's got you so tired, you want me to grab you coffee?" Kaminari asked his friend, having been worried about Y/N for the past few days he's seen him like this. Y/N sighed and shook his head, taking slow and lazy sips of his now cold ramen.

"What's bothering you? You can talk to us ya know!" Mina assured her friend with a smile, and Y/N relented, maybe it would help.

"Jiraiya's funerals today, I'm still mentally exhausted from my fight with Pain and Chisaki.. I guess shifting from sadness to uncontrollable rage, now to a period of mourning.. I guess I haven't been coping well, now that I have time to look back on it all, but I'll be fine.." Y/N smiled tiredly as his friends frowned over what he was going through, and he got a side hug from Kaminari.

"I'll go get you some coffee, extra sweet! And a bowl of warm ramen, for the strongest hero at UA!" Kaminari quickly got up to grab what he promised, and Y/N sighed as he straightened himself up, he couldn't look like a mess in front of his friends. He got back into his old personality, acting happy and joking with everyone, but it wasn't the same. 

It was artificial

"People of Konohagakure, we are gathered here today to celebrate the life that was lived by our very own Toad Sage Jiraiya, and to remember the hero he was for our city.. for Japan." 

Tsunade stood in front of thousands, fans of Jiraiya, sidekicks and townspeople were all gathered to mourn the loss of who was supposed to become the number 1 hero in a few weeks. I sat at the podium, waiting for my turn to share my own speech, the depressing energy was suffocating as everyone took in the words Tsunade spoke carefully.

 "He was one of my oldest friends, and I don't think I ever cared for anyone as much as I did for Jiraiya.." Her grip on the lectern tightens, her monster strength peaking through as she leaves cracks on the marble, "He was a pervert, too laid back and he was just so annoying!" She laughed, tears began to fall down her face as she smiles to herself, Orochimaru at my side stiffening at her show of emotion, "But he was the most genuine man I knew. He was always there for me and I did my best to return the favor, Jiraiya wasn't just a hero he was my best friend.. he was.." She wanted to say more, obviously having deeper ties with him then she shown, and I could feel my own eyes stinging with emotion, "He died a heroic death, and it was not in vain. For that I'd like to thank Uzumaki Y/N, who destroyed the Akatsuki leader fearlessly." She turned to look at me, handing me the microphone with a bittersweet smile on her face, and I shakily stood and made my way over to the lectern.
