The Avatar 2 ~ Izuku Midoriya

033

----

All Might and dad left and we gathered our thoughts, I grabbed Zuku's hand before leading him to sit on the couch.

"Stay here. You too, Bakugo." I said.

Bakugo was about to walk to the elevator but I stopped him. He grumbled but still listened to me and sat on the couch.

"I'll be right back."

I walked to the restrooms and grabbed the first aid box I had in the cabinets.

I came back and sat next to Bakugo.

"I don't need you to do that!"

"I know but I still wanna talk to you."

I opened the box and started to take out some alcohol wipes, cream, and bandages.

"I heard that All Might said that you felt it was your fault that he retired."

"Yeah." He growled as I wiped his cuts with the wipe.

"I felt the same way at first. I was there too. It kept me up for days. But I remembered that this was bound to happen one day. It just sucked that I was in the way."

I put the ointment on his cuts. I looked over at Zuku and silently asked him if he knew about his power.

He nodded.

"But now you know the whole story. His quirk was running out."

He looked back at Zuku and at me surprised. Guess he didn't know I knew about One For All.

"Don't worry. I knew about it way before Zuku did. I caught All Might in his smaller form when I visited his agency four years ago. I slipped past dad and went exploring. I found his office and decided to let myself in. He was sitting in his chair and was so surprised to see me, that he changed forms."

I finished putting the bandages on him and moved over to Zuku.

"I just laughed and after that he told me about his quirk."

"Four years ago? How did you manage to understand that at eleven?" Bakugo asked.

"I was always a smart child, so it wasn't hard. Anyway, his time was running out and last year, he told me that he was on a hunt for a person that he could give One for All too. I helped him look for candidates. Of course, he found one himself." Zuku started to blush.

"What I'm saying is, it's not your fault he retired. He was going to eventually, just not as early as he planned."

Bakugo was quiet for a while before he stood up.

"Thanks for that. And for this." He said, pointing to his face.

"No problem." I sent him a smile before he walked away to his dorm.

I finished cleaning and putting the bandages on Zuku's face.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

I put the box on the side table and we just sat in silence for a while.
