Chapter 6: I'm Your Hero

HITOSHI

"How's your injuries?"

"It hurts a little, but overall I'm fine. I can still deal with it."

Izuku sat down with me on the pavement then fished out a burned out notebook from his bag. I couldn't help notice the notebook looks like its pages are soon to be reduced to crisps if not handled properly.

"What happened to your notebook?" I blurted out suddenly. Izuku was surprised then looks at his own notebook with a confused look.

"Hmm... I don't know... Probably some kid back at middle school trying to burn it."

Some kid, huh? I bet it's that explosive asshole.

I stared at Izuku closer to see if he's truly confused.

Huh, he is... He really forgot about him.

My brows furrowed, "Aren'tcha gonna buy another one?"

"Maybe... But this looks so precious to me somehow. Might as well write it with information about your cool Quirk!" he smiled at me. It was so bright that I fear I might go blind.

My face found it self to smile at him confidently, "You really think I'm cool?"

Izuku's eyes enlarged but remained smiling anyway, "Of course! You're strong, cool and hot--"

He slapped his hand to his mouth when he said that. I felt my face getting warmer every second with that word echoing in my mind.

"Ah-- I--" I struggled to find the words but then Izuku speaks up suddenly with a small voice, his mouth still cupped by his hand,

"Best that we should start the interview..."

"Y-y-yeah..."

I wanna slap myself for stuttering too much.

"So, when did you start using your Quirk?" Izuku starts questioning as he clicks his pen and points it towards his notebook.

"That was when I was like 5 or 6. I didn't know I activated it on my mom when I wanted that toy. She did say 'no' at first before I used it... I suppose I went angry at her." I spoke slowly so that Izuku can take down notes word by word.

"So next, did you inherit your Quirk from your mom or your dad?"

I gulped at that question. I didn't want anyone to know where my Quirk came from. My parents made sure they don't know...

But this is Izuku whom I have been talking to. He seems to be the most trustworthy person I've ever known in my entire life.

I can trust him right?

We'll see. After all, I can erase his memory if he tries to tell anybody.

"Neither."

"Huh?"

I gulped again, "Izuku, can I... Can I tell you a secret? Promise me, tell no one about this."

He seems to be visibly shaken, "O-okay."

"The fuck is that nerd up to now?!" I yelled through the halls which made the extras stare at me, "THE FUCK ARE Y'ALL LOOKING AT, HUH?!?! WANNA PICK A FIGHT?!"

The extras flinched and scrambled away in fear. I hummed in satisfaction, "Heh, that's what I thought, you chickens."

I stomped my way towards to rooftop where Deku went. Good thing I overheard Round face and Four-eyed freak talking about him back at the lobby. Otherwise, if I would ask them, they won't answer. It's a waste of time.
