The Number One "Sidekick" • {My Hero Academia}

I walked around to the other side of the bed, where his arm that was previously burned was laid, and sat in a chair.  I gently grabbed Izuku’s hand and sighed.  I whispered, “I can’t stand seeing you hurt like this.  You better get control soon because I don’t know how much more of this I can watch.”  I laid my head down on the bed and before I knew it I had fallen asleep holding on to Izuku’s hand.

I heard muffled voices around me.  Shhhhh… I wanna sleep.  “-rya~”  I tried to push my head further down in order to drown out the surrounding noise.  “Wa-- -p -ry-”  I groaned and buried my head deeper into my arms and the soft blanket.  Without realizing I continued to push the chair I had fallen asleep in further away from the bed while trying to stay asleep instead of waking up.  “Arya… wake up.”  At that moment, I knew… I fucked up.  My arms slipped off the side of the bed and sent my body head first towards the ground.

My head smacked the floor next to the bed.  “Oooowwww,” I whined as I rubbed my head sitting up.  I looked up and around the room while I rubbed the newly formed bump on my head.  My dad was standing in his weakened form next to me with a sweat drop.  “What time is it?  Did I sleep through the rest of the training?”

“Yeah you did.”  I watched my dad’s eyes trail over to Izuku’s still sleeping form.

I stood up and looked at Izuku and then at my dad.  “He’ll be okay.  I healed him a bit and then Recovery Girl did some first aid.”  We stood in silence for a second before I remembered I still needed to do something.  Upon realization, I quickly looked over at my dad.  “Are they all still here?”

“Umm… yeah they’re all still here.  Why?”  My dad looked at me with confusion.

“There’s just something I gotta do.  I’ll be home later.  Don’t worry about dinner with me.”  I teleported back to the locker room and quickly changed back into my school uniform.  I didn’t bother retying my tie since it was basically the end of the school day anyway.  I stuffed my blazer and my hero costume into my bag.  I hauled my bag onto one shoulder and draped my long black coat over my arm as I walked out into the hall.

I was still fairly tired even after essentially sleeping all day so I walked towards 1-A’s classroom instead of teleporting.  I still had to talk to Katsuki about his actions and I promised Shoto I would take him out to eat and talk about why I haven’t been to see him at all in the past two years.  It sucks since Izuku is really the only one that I can be truthful with.

I reached the hallway that 1-A was in and noticed Katsuki starting to walk out.  “Oi!  I need to talk to you.”  He completely ignored me and continued walking.  As he was passing me, I reached out and grabbed his elbow stopping him.  “Don’t ignore me.”

Katsuki didn’t turn around and responded in a low growl, “Let go.”

I narrowed my eyes at him, “Huh.  You think you scare me?  Not a chance.”  I released him and turned to face his back completely.  “I told you not to use it and you still did.  You need to sto--” Katsuki started walking away from me with his hands in his pockets and probably a scowl on his face.  “Hey!  Don’t just walk away.”  I ran to get up to him.

“Leave me alone.”

Nobody was in the halls as school for everyone else had already ended a while ago.  I groaned in frustration at how difficult he always has to be.  “Come on, Katsuki.”  I grabbed his arm and started to drag him towards the entrance.

“H-hey!  Let go of me, dammit!”  Katsuki tried to pull his arm out of my hand but I wasn’t about to let go anytime soon.

I stopped on the front steps of the school and let go of him.  I was standing slightly in front of him as I stared down at the ground.  My voice was barely above a whisper, “I just don’t get it… Why do you hate him?  Why do you hate me?  Why the hell are you so angry all the damn time?”
