Waves Find Their Land

Chapter 43: Advice

A month has passed since Izuku started going to class. It had been weird. Every class was filled with him constantly being on guard. Every time someone talked to him he was on guard. Every small touch had him freaking out. It seems all the help Nejire did with him only really applied to her.

To help with his free time he had started training again and he had increased his power from 30% to 52%.

(The reason he leveled up so quick is because since he had already reached 42% before his body was used to it so it built up to it much quicker then before.)

Then you get onto hero classes. He still felt that dull feeling. They just felt like normal classes. Nothing special. Just a chore. Nothing special. Same as all his other class.

As the day ended Nejire came by Izuku's dorm room.

She knocked, "Hey Honey it's me."

"Come in."

She came in with a smile.

She looked around but didn't see him, "Um where are you?"

"Bathroom. You can come in."

She opened the bathroom door, "You ok?"

She saw Izuku there in just a tank top and his boxers. He was just staring at himself in the mirror.

It looked like he was focused and she spoke, "Honey?"

He looked, "Y-Yes?"

"Are you ok? You seem distracted."

He nodded, "Just thinking."

"You wanna talk about it?"

He nodded, "Y-Yes."

"Let's get out of the bathroom."

He nodded and they went to the bedroom. Izuku sat down in the chair and Nejire sat on the edge of the bed.

Nejire grabbed her hands, "What did you wanna talk about?"

"You know how I was supposed to start seeing Midnight this week?"

She nodded, "Yes. How is that going?"

"Well um. I kind of haven't g-gone."

"Izuku!"

He put his head down, "S-Sorry."

She took a breath, "Look at me."

"I-I d-don't w-wanna. Y-Your mad."

"Izuku Midoriya. Look at me. That's an order."

He gulped and slowly lifted his head up.

He could see she wasn't mad but more annoyed, "Now I wanna now. Why haven't you gone? And be honest with me."

"I-I w-was s-scared."

"What about sweetie?"

"J-Just. E-Everything. I-I. I d-don't w-wanna talk a-about w-what happened."

"Oh Izuku." She got up and wrapped him into a hug, "Your ok sweetheart."

He held onto her tight and she spoke, "Ok look at me."

He put her hand on his cheek, "Y-Yes?"

"I understand honey. I do. But you can't get better without help."

"B-But I h-have y-you."

She gave him a smile, "Oh honey. There is only so much hugs, kisses, and cuddles can do. You have come so far in only a month and a half. Very far. But honey your progress is only with me. Not that it's a bad thing. But you need to make this kind of progress with everyone."
