Cause and Effect - (DabiDeku)

✾✾✾✾✾ 10 ✾✾✾✾✾

It was just past noon when Izuku woke up on Sunday morning, it was the latest he had ever slept in. Of course staying up until two thirty in the morning with his brother and the others was liable to do that. He made his way out of his brother's room being quiet so as to not wake any one. Izuku made his way over to the bathroom just as Himiko exited followed by a plume of heat and fog. The girl, it seemed, had taken a nice hot shower. "Morning Miko." Izuku said sleepy. "I think you mean afternoon Izu." the blond girl giggled. "Whatever." the greenette said with a shrug. He was too tired to care at that point in time. "I already left some clothes in there for you. I hope they're not too girly." Himiko told him. "Thank you Miko, you really are a lifesaver." Izuku replied. He then shut and locked the door, before then began his morning routine. After showering, brushing his teeth and the other morning things, he began to get dressed in the clothing left for him. Today's ensemble consisted of mostly black capri leggings that were more like pants to Izuku. The waist band, along with two lines that ran down the sides of each leg were hot pink. The top was a hot pink, and black spaghetti strapped crop top that only showed a small amount of the small boy's stomach. Izuku would never admit it, but he had actually enjoyed wearing Himiko's clothes over the past few days. It would end today though, as all his belongings from his dorm room were being packed up and delivered there later that afternoon.

Izuku left the bathroom and went into the kitchen to find Himiko seated at the counter. She had two cups of coffee already prepared and was pouring fruity pebbles into a second bowel. The milk sat in front of her. "Is that for me?" the green eyed boy asked, pointing to the coffee. "Sure is, made you breakfast too." the golden eyed girl replied. "Thanks." Izuku said as he took the seat next to her. The two sat quietly as they ate and drank their coffee, when the sound of a phone dinging broke the silence. The notification sounds continued to go off repeatedly. Himiko pulled her phone from the pockets of her skirt to check. "Not me, it must be you." she said, turning her phone to show him. Izuku was surprised by this, since the last time he saw his phone, it was dead. The green haired teen got up from his seat and moved over to where the sound was coming from. There on the kitchen counter he found his phone plugged into the wall, a note next to it. Izuku read the note with a smile.

Little mouse💚

Saw your dead phone.  Had this old thing just lay around. So I plugged it in and turned it on.

                                                                               T💜

Izuku blushed a little at the name that Toya always used for him. He picked up his phone that was still going off. 'What the heck? Why is my phone blowing up.' he thought. Izuku tapped the screen then unlocked his phone, to find over two hundred missed calls and five hundred missed messages. He also noticed the reason for the device's continued noise. He had been added to a group chat with his entire class, plus some class B and a few random students from other classes. Izuku scrolled back to the top of the chat which was quite long to see that it had started out with just himself and his friend Hitoshi from class C. The group chat had been named The truth revealed and the very first messages made Izuku's heart drop.

Sleepycat: Hey Iz

Sleepycat: I'm really sorry about this and I hope you don't hate me

Sleepycat: I overheard my dads and Nezu talking. I know what really happened and why you won't be coming back and well I just can't keep it to myself

Sleepycat: just know I'm always here to listen if you want to talk.

After that there was a pause in time on the chat and then Hitoshi had added all the others. The first messages had come in at around nine thirty, the rest of the participants had been added at around eleven and from there the chat had been going non stop. Izuku read through about fifty of the beginning texts and saw that it was mostly hate and anger being thrown at the culprits for his absence at the school. The greenette was a little upset and disheartened that his friends were so angry. He even felt a small bit of remorse that the one who had hurt him was being verbally assaulted. Izuku noted that some had stated their displeasure and anger at the culprits then left the chat, which left only a few core people. As he continued to read he came across a section that made him gasp.

Gearhead: Really Tenya. How could you? Izuku is the sweetest, most thoughtful, and generous person I know. He is a literal angel. I can't believe you. 😞

ClassARep: Mei dear, It's not like it seems, Izuku was never supposed to know.

Gearhead: Seriously!!! You think that makes it ok to talk bad about someone who considered you one of his closest friends! 😡

PinkAlien: Damn Girrrrrrrrrllllllllll pop off.

ClassARep: Mina stay out of this! Mei hunny, I'm sorry but the things we were discussing were all true. Besides, he shouldn't have been snooping.

Gearhead: I don't care if he was snooping, and I don't care if what you said was the truth, it was mean and wrong! You're a jerk, and I don't think I want to be in a relationship with a jerk who would talk about their friend behind their back. Tenya Iida we are done, over, finished. I never want to speak to you again. 💔

Gearhead has left the chat

ClassARep: Wait babe NO!

ClassARep has left the chat

PinkAlien: Serves him right

Muscleman: wow that was so manly 💪 of her and unmanly of him

PickaPicka: 😆 Ha ha, bet he regrets being a dick to Iz now

Himiko who had been eavesdropping and reading over his shoulder smiled. "I don't know who this Mei chick is but I like her." the blond girl said. This caused Izuku to flinch; he had not noticed that she had come over to him. "I kinda feel bad." Izuku said. "Why? You didn't do anything." Himiko replied. "But if I hadn't been so sensitive, maybe I overreacted. They just broke up and it's because of me." Izuku said tears were beginning to form in his eyes. Himiko turned him so they were now facing each other, she placed her hands on both of his shoulders. "Izuku you did not do anything wrong. They were the one talking shit about you. There the ass hats, and they deserve everything that is happening to them. You need to learn not to worry about everyone else at your own expense. It is ok to put yourself first sometimes." Himiko said to him. She loved how kind and generous Izuku was, but not at the detriment of himself. "It is completely ok to be selfish sometimes." she continued. "A...are you sure?" the green eyed boy asked, blinking back the tears forming in his eyes. "Yes Izu. And I am making it my mission while you are here with us this summer to prove it to you." the golden eyed girl stated flatly.

Himiko gave him a hug before pulling away and putting her hand out. "You don't need to read any more of this." She said Izuku hesitated for only a minute before handing her his phone. Himiko took it and began deleting his entire call history, all the voicemails, and text for the device. She then sent the photo Izuku had taken of Katsuki and Shoto to the group chat with a single text.

PreciousBean: This is Izuku's cousin, and though he is grateful for your support and care this is upsetting him. He will be spending the summer with his family and will not be available for the most part. We ask that you leave him to get over his hurt and heartache, and allow him to heal. If he wishes to see or speak to any of you he will make the first contact. If we, his family find any of you bothering him, you will regret it. Ps. to those of you who hurt him; if any of us see you anywhere near Izuku, you will regret it. 😈

Himiko then removed Izuku from the group chat and deleted it from his phone.

That summer seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye. They all had a wonderful time and many things changed. Izuku eventually got over the betrayal of his friends, best friend, and even the first boy he ever loved. He messages certain members of his class, just to check in and let them know he was safe, happy, and would be returning to the school next year. Boy were they going to be surprised with the new and improved Izuku Midoriya.
