You call that a hero? (A MHA x male reader story)

Chapter 15

~~~

Weeks passed, and so did the new year. Y/n was--for the lack of a better word--had the most fun. Along with the Big Three, they sang, danced, watched comedy, horror, and action-packed movies, went to a park with other classmates, and most of all: had some significant alone time with Nejire. (He didn't confess.) He had fun. Those were his best days. Days he will most likely cherish for years and years to come.

But even so, even good things have an end to them.

In All Might's office within the U.A. school grounds, he currently was in a counseling session with Y/n. The boy's head was drooped down, facing the ceramic floor with his elbows on his knees leaning forward.

...

Still, however, internally, this must be gnawing him. Naturally, any human would be on a mental breakdown understandably but Y/n showed no signs of such a reaction.

"Everything's going to be okay," Toshinori reassured Y/n, patting his head and ruffling his hair with the same genuine warm smile. "In time...this will eventually come to pass. Trials are made to endure. So don't give up."

...

...

There was a flaw to his words.

Ten percent chance that Y/n would be pardoned under the law. Realistically, speaking, that was false. If they were being optimistic, Ten percent was the likely probability. However, the other Nninety percent...
