Surprising Creation

Park

Under the shade of towering trees, Midoriya sat quietly on a bench, the gentle rustle of leaves providing a soothing backdrop to the rambling in his mind. Seated on a weathered bench, he leaned back comfortably, his expression relaxed as they enjoyed the simple pleasure of being alone. Away from the hustle and bustle of school, the park offered him a sanctuary of peace and serenity, a place where time seemed to slow and worries melted away like the morning mist. In this moment, surrounded by the beauty of nature, Midoriya found solace and contentment, grateful for the chance to escape the chaos of everyday life, if only for a little while.

As the sunlight filtered through the canopy above, He caught sight of a familiar figure approaching from the edge of the park. His heart skipped a beat as he recognized the face – it was Yourorozu, a classmate from school. She walked with a gentle sway, her long hair catching the light. Midoriya felt a sudden rush of nerves as he watched her draw closer, his mind racing with memory of her going to the clinic wanting to check up on him. As she reached his bench, a tentative smile played at the corners of her lips, and Midoriya felt a surge of warmth flood his chest.

"Oh I didn't expect you to be here Midoriya" She said with a smile in her face.

"Y-yeah, I didn't expect you to be here aswell Yaoyorozu" He responded to her with a little bit of red on his cheeks.

"Momo, just call me Momo"

"O-oh sure, you can call me Izuku then" He said while scratching the back of his head.

He was taken back a bit by her forwardness. Especially due to her wanting him to address her using her first name. He does not wonder why she did it though but he doesn't mind. She is probably being more friendly, that's the reason his mind rationalized.

"I actually forgot to thank you back in the nurse's office" She said

"T-thank me for what Momo?"

"Don't be so humble Izuku. After being reckless in the USJ it really opened my eyes. Almost dying in there, seconds away from death's door. It was the first time I felt hopeless. It was terrifying" She said as a tear fell from her face.

"I was there looking death straight in the eyes and yet, it blinked. The Nomu layed there on the ground. Stuck there because of black tendrils which pierced every single limb it has" She wiped a tear away and looked directly at Izuku.

"So I want to thank you Izuku, thank you for saving me from death's door. I will be forever indebted to you"

Silence was in the air. The leaves of the tree swayed and some of them fell slowly to the ground. The fresh breeze making contact with both students as they sat there on the bench.

"To be honest Momo, I-I didn't know what I was doing that time. My body just reacted when I saw the Nomu charge right at you. After what it did with Mr. Aizawa I didn't want to know what it would do to you. I-I was scared, very scared during that time but after that all I remembered was being at the clinic"

Midoriya finished his recollection of what happened on that event. He look down at the floor not knowing how to comprehend the new information that was said to him.

"I wasn't strong enough to keep myself from fainting. What would have happened if All Might wasn't there? I was weak"

During the slime incident that cause All Might to intervene and ultimately choose him as his successor was similar with what happened at the USJ. His body moved before he could even think. But he hated this part of him, sure it was heroic but must he take this much of a gamble in order to save someone's life? He was saved by All Might in both scenarios, he would have died if he wasn't in either.

"I don't believe that you are weak Midoriya. The power you have may still be unexplored but we are still heroes in training. It is true that I may have almost perished if All Might wasn't there, but he wasn't the only hero present. Everyone in the class was doing their best to prove themselves in the USJ. Many of them including you were willingly there in the center to help each other. And I'd say that that takes a lot of strength for a person to do that"

She looked at Izuku with a smile on her face. Unknowingly sparking something inside him. A renewed sense of hope and determination. A sense of hope and determination that will lead him to the right path of becoming a hero.

"F-from now on we'll do our very best"
