But What If I Was Better? | Mob Joins UA

17 | The Boy, He Cries

][ Previously: Mob fights Dimple, who is controlling the broccoli. Then he fights his hypnotized friends. His friends fight each other. Lots of fighting happens. Ryo even has a panic attack at one point. But then Dimple sees the error in his ways and becomes good again. Then dies. ][

     "So, you don't even remember packing?" Mob asked, standing over Izuku at the couch as the greenette sat, hands on knees and scratching his head over the situation.

     "No, not at all..." Izuku finally admitted. "What about you, Kachan?" Bakugo stood in the living room right beside the TV, staring at it from an odd angle.

     "Of course I remember, idiot!"

     "No you don't." Ritsu spoke dryly, arms crossed as well. The elder shot him a glare. Ritsu didn't care.

     Mob was for the most part quiet. An ache slowly crawled into his heart as he stared at the wounds on his friends. He was a little scuffed too, but not nearly as much as they were.

   Wait...

     Did he...

        lose control?

     That's why Dimple was gone, and the tree, and everyone was forgetting so much. He lost control again, didn't he?? And everyone fought long and hard to stop him, Dimple even giving up his LIFE in the end! Maybe THAT was why no one remembered! Dimple didn't want him to live with that guilt!

    No! He shouldn't just start making assumptions like that! Maybe something else happened! Yeah! Like aliens, or a villain, or-- or...

    "You alright there, Mob? Awfully quiet." Ritsu commented on his brother's behavior, nothing something was a little off.

     "Ye-yeah!.. Just a little confused is all."

     "Hm." Ritsu bit the inside of his cheek. His bro was looking a little stressed... "How about we get something to eat? You can invite all your friends to join us. I'm sure they would love to meet the UA kids! ...Well, Midoriya at least."

     "Hey! You got something against me?!"

    "Maybe you could invite Onigawara too? I'm sure they'll get along splendidly~"

     "Why do I feel like that's an insult..?"

     "Because it is."

     ">:O Listen here, you ###-" As Bakugo stomped the younger one's way, Ritsu formed a barrier around him. Thankfully that muffled the noise too. Bakugo shouted some more and pelted his fists against the shield.

     "Maaybe you should let him out." Izuku whined.

    "Yeah.." Mob.

     Ritsu, smirking, "Not until he calms down."

     That standoff lasted...a long time. To this day, no one knows who won.

----------

     Going out for lunch with his friends was a great idea. Ritsu had succeeded in making his brother feel much better. Though he could sense the faint emotions looming over him like a ghost, it wasn't painful anymore.

     After lunch, everyone was hanging out in the shopping center just looking around at the things they wished they could buy, but they were broke. So they couldn't.

     Suddenly, Izuku, Bakugo, and Mob got a text. They all pulled out their scuffed phones in unison and read the most recent message in their class' group chat.
