Call of Silence-(All Might/ Toshinori Yagi) Book 2

24

"The word stress has become a loaded word throughout the years and can't even be compared to what I am feeling right now...." you thought, "People everywhere use it as a means to describe troubled relationships, financial troubles, troubles at work, or even troubles at school. However, it has increasingly been used to mask something more."

You looked down at the 15 missed called and voicemails left on your phone. You selected one to listen to.

"Hana!" Toshinori yelled, "Listen, I don't know what is happening but, can you please call me back? I'm concerned about you considering that you haven't been answering my call or haven't been home for the past two weeks now. I just want to...I...Please just call me back okay? I love you...bye."

You quickly hung up on the voicemail box on your phone and sighed while gripping your phone tightly. Lately, things have been a bit out of order since the final examination. Even though it was a small argument between you both, it did show you how much All Might and your beliefs were drifting from one another.

You just couldn't bring yourself to call him back. You were moving your legs up and down in a stressful way, glancing at your phone from time to time. But here you were laying on the couch while Serah was at school blocking his call for the umpteenth time today.

Soon knocks came at your door. First, the knocking came quietly first and then there was silence. You were a bit shocked to hear the knocking but then the knocks were louder and faster this time, stared at the door, unmoving.

Someone just knocked on your door. Could that be...? You ran towards your front door.

"Izuku?" You questioned, "How did you get this address?"

"H-Hi Ms. Hana," Izuku timidly asked, glancing at the piece of paper he was holding in his hand.

"Um...Izuku? Did All Might ask you to come and check in on me?" you asked.

"Y-Yeah," Izuku mumbled, "I apologize for disturbing you but All Might wants to talk to you, he told me to tell you how sorry he was that he snapped at you and now realized his mistake-"

Quickly you grabbed Izuku's arm and pulled him into your house and locked the door. You sighed at and walked towards the living room leaving Izuku a bit confused and scared about what to do. With everything that had happened to you, this stress felt like being caught in a tsunami; the rolling of the wave keeps you from figuring out which direction to swim.

"I'm pretty sure you're curious to know why I am ignoring All Might?" you asked looking at Izuku.

"I -I know you guys-uh- fought after Bakugo's final exams and you were running away from him, but why-" Izuku asked while staring at you with hesitation, "I mean you guys just got back together about a couple months back and he-"

You began to drone Izuku out and reflect on the fact that Toshinori and yourself did get back together. You blushed like a teenage girl and looked away. Even though you were currently ignoring him, you remember that you were, in fact, in a relationship with him always made your heart beat.

"I-I just need some time to myself to think about what he said. He brought up something in our fight that triggered something I needed to focus on," you muttered as you leaned back on the couch head, glancing up at the ceiling trying to find the right words to say to him.

"I see..." He pursed his lips and looked down as if what you said confirmed his thoughts, "But he is really worried about you and has even canceled a couple classes..."

Your heart sank when you thought about all those moments you couldn't be with him and how distraught he was thinking about you, but you need to do some thinking without him being around considering new factors that were coming to light surrounding you guys relationships.

Izuku couldn't understand what that argument even meant to you. A part of you felt helpless, knowing that you knew you were mentally and emotionally hurting Toshinori for the past five years when you disappeared out his life, but with everything that occurred and our values, you had a sense of  pity towards him for using his hurt as his one and only defense for yelling at you.

"Also, he asked if I didn't mind canceling our training session for the day," you heard Izuku said once you began to listen to him once again.

Izuku didn't know what he was doing but everything he was telling you, was hurting you. He didn't even have to inflict a physical wound on you, he used his words as weapons and he had delivered the most disheartening, heartbreaking words to you.

You can tell from the way he was describing Toshinori's emotional pain, he knew exactly how to deliver this message in order for you to truly feel the pain that Toshinori felt, to feel the harm that you placed on him so deeply, to open up another once, closed wound.

This emotional damaging of my running away seemed so well-known. It was a form treatment you force the both of you to have, but in actuality, it is always Toshinori who doesn't deserve to take a pinch of salt and rub it into his wounds.

With this time apart, you both were experiencing the most indescribable, excruciating, and agonizing pain...but it was for the greater good.

"...He asked me to give you this if I was able to get a hold of you," He handed you the piece of paper which he was holding and you took it.

You gasped knowing exactly what this piece of paper was. Soon a steady stream of liquid trickled down your face.

Once that first tear broke free, the rest followed in an unbroken stream. You bent forward where you sat on the floor and press your palms to the mat, you began to cry with the force of a person vomiting on all fours. You see, that letter, was the letter was a sign of trust between you and Toshinori. That letter was the letter that was intercepted by his fangirls and swapped for a fake, it was the same letter Toshinori fought his agency to find to prove his love to you.

You didn't care and you knew Izuku watched you as he saw the tears flowing down your face. You knew you well enough to know that you wanted to apologize and justify why you had been ignoring him.

"You're a good kid, Midoriya," you mumbled while breaking a smile and looking at Izuku with tears streaming down, " you did well by coming here. Thank you Izuku for telling me all of this, even though I'm not as close to you as All Might. You can go to school before you're late even more than you are now, I will speak to him."

His eyes brightened as a feeling of hope shined through his gaze.

"T-Thank you! I wish everything works out between you to," he said.

"It's okay. It's something I have to deal with alone anyway...once I find the courage to do so...and that will take time."
