Wounded Canary's Despair!

Songbird's Sorrow and Guilt!

    After calming down and drying his eyes from laughing so hard tears formed, Izuku felt a buzz from his pocket. Pulling it out, he looked at the notification. Blinking at who messaged for the first time in days, Izuku opened it. 'Hey, mophead, do you think you can come over? I need to talk with you...'

   Shaking his head for a bit, he replied. 'Of course, Jiro-san. I'll be there soon.' Before sighing as he looked to Momo, still embarrassed at their teasing. "Momo-chan. I need to go speak with Jiro. Will you be alright?" He asked and moo lok a bit sad but before she could reply Chiyo spoke up. "She needs to get some actual sleep now that she is no longer in danger. Oh, don't pout at me, Missy. You need to sleep and recover. Midoriya-kun will be here tomorrow to take you to the new place. Surely you can be patient until then, yeah?" Chiyo asked in a threatening manner with her syringe cane primed and ready. Shivering in fear, Momo nodded as she swallowed her heart back down.

   "Y-Yeah. Heh. Tell Jiro-chan I'm doing better for me, Zuku." Momo said as she damn near trembled right out of her skin from the look of rage on Chiyo's face. "That's right. Now go, boy, or people will start to think you're dating the hospital bed again." Chiyo said with a curt nod in Momo's direction.

   "Oh come on, Granny Chiyo, it was the one time, and I brought her back on time, didn't I?" Izuku quiped with a smirk and wink to Momo as Chiyo nearly pissed herself laughing at Izuku's words. "Sleep well, Momo-chan. I'll see you later." Izuku said as he hugged her for a moment and left.

   When he was gone, Momo sighed. "You know you're gonna have to decide eventually, Momo-chan. It's obvious you care deeply for the boy." Chiyo spoke in a much kinder tone, making Momo blush wildly. "I... I can't. Not just because he's technically my brother now... turns out Midnight-sensei and Melissa-chan have feelings for him too. They would make much better partners than someone like me..." Momo trailed off as Chiyo looked to her with sorrow.

   "What would make you unfit for him, Momo-chan?" Chiyo asked, snapping Momo from her dour thoughts. She looked to the elderly nurse before looking down at herself as she fidgeted in bed. "Between how I used to treat him, and what Mineta did to me.... I'm not fit for him. It'd make me feel as if I'm forcing him to fix all my problems and care for an unfit woman. I couldn't do that to him." She explained as Chiyo listened.

   Sighing, she pulled out her phone and contacted Midnight, asking for her to get Melissa and head over. "It's time I explained a little something to the three of you then. An important detail about Izuku Modoriya. Something that only Inko and I learned after his powers emerged." Chiyo said as she ordered her thoughts and texted Inko to watch over Rosalie and Eri as she needed to speak with Izuku's three beauties.

   Izuku swallowed as he entered Heights Alliance for the first time in days. Nervous as he hadn't spent much time with the class aside from the girls on a few occasions when they were visiting Rosalie and Eri. As well as Momo lately.

   Walking in, he was confused as the common room was empty. "That's strange. Normally, they are all down here, causing ruckus." He said aloud before sighing and heading to Jiro's dorm room.

   He was surprised not to see anyone the entire time he was there. Before long, he found himself at her door and knocked. Almost instantly, the door flew open, and he was yanked inside, and the door slammed shut. "Holy crap! Please dont stab me, Jiro-san!?" Izuku yelped out as he cowered in fear. Only to be wrapped in a tight embrace, catching him unaware as he felt Jiro trembling and heard her sob. Looking down, he saw Jiro in tears holding him as tight as she could.

   "Jiro-san? What's wrong?" He asked as he hugged her back and felt her flinch slightly. She didn't answer, just held him and cried. He doesn't know how long she cried in his arms, but by the time she finally calmed down, he could tell she was exhausted. Slowly, they broke the hug, but she grabbed his wrist and pulled him to her bed, and sat him down before sitting next to him. She looked horrible, and he noticed she had been wearing makeup as it was streaked down from her eyes, revealing dark circles.
