Blue Bird

Night

It was already getting darker outside. Deku was outside of Yuko's dorm room with the mattress (still in its package) and sheets. He knocked, and almost immediately the door swung open.

He walked in and looked at where Yuko was standing. Yuko stood in the right corner of his room, staring at Deku as if to show him exactly where he wanted the mattress to go.

"You want it there?" Deku asked, signalling to where Yuko was standing. He nodded.

Deku carried in the mattress and sheets. He put them down in that spot. Yuko immediately went to start getting the mattress set up. Deku helped as well.

As they were getting it out of the plastic and wrapping, Deku asked, "Are you sure there isn't anything else u need?" Yuko nodded and continued getting the mattress out. They stayed in a somewhat comfortable silence as they worked.

Within no time at all, the mattress was up and the sheets were on. Deku checked the time on his phone. It was 8:55 p.m..

"It's getting late and I have class tomorrow. I'll hopefully see you around Yuko." He stared walking toward the door as he spoke. "Good night."

He had already opened the door and was about to go out when Yuko spoke. "Thanks...For the bed and help. Night."

Deku turned toward him and smiled that friendly smile of his. "Your welcome." He was about to close the door but opened it quickly. "We are having breakfast at 4:30 if you want to come get some."

Yuko just have a nod.

Deku smiled at his verbal response and closed the door. He started walking to his own room.

The lights were off in the room and Yuko was laying on his bed, having a hard time sleeping. He has been trying to sleep for what has felt like hours. He has never been one to sleep for long or this early either, maybe that was the problem. He didn't know, and to be honest, he didn't really care either.

He laid there, thinking of his family and wondering if they were going to be okay. His parents are probably worried sick about him, looking everywhere they might think his is, or where he wouldn't be. His uncles and aunts are probably looking for him as well.

The adults have always seemed to worry about him. It wasn't that they thought he was too weak or ignorant It was that he looked so much like his father that people seemed to jump to conclusions. People always thought that he would turn out to be just like his father had. But his father has changed sense he has got with Papa.

His father, Dabi, hasn't been a villian for as long as Yuko could remember. He choose to give up the whole villainy way for his Papa, Hawks (aka Keigo).

He remembers his Papa telling him the whole story when he was younger. About the "friendship", the betrayal, the apology (also known as very much convincing on Dabi's part), and the get together. He had loved the story so much that he has told all his siblings when they got to the same age he was when he had been told the tale.

He loved his siblings so much. I was the oldest of them. They always knew just what to say when he was down or had a bad day at U.A.. They trained together, did homework together, talked about our days, and ate together almost all the time. We did almost everything together, and it was always a bit hard when we had to go out seperate ways for school.

Yuko thought more of his home life, the future of the past he was in now, for a bit longer. He eventually felt sleep consume him.
