Traitor

Chapter 14

Uraraka's P.O.V
I was seated in front of All Might, we were at a coffee shop, after making the order, I started the conversation,
"What is it?" I asked, All Might looked at me, sadness in his eyes.

"Before I come to the topic, I need to ask you, how have you been? Are your injuries recovering? How's everything in general?" He sounded like my dad.

I should have inquired about All Might's health as well but I was just so lost in my head that I didn't even bother, I felt guilty, really guilty. I screamed at Todoroki and made Yaomomo and Bakugo upset. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what was my next move and I just wanted to go home, to clear my head and arrange all my thoughts.

"I'm fine, everything's going good, I assume what you have to tell me is something about Deku," I blurted.

Ugh Ochako! You're such an idiot, you're not supposed to blurt out things like that, what is wrong with you!!!

"I'm sorry about that All Might," I said quickly.
"It's just that after all of this I can't exactly understand what I'm saying or thinking." I exhaled, trying to compose myself.

"It's fine, I understand and yes what I wanted to talk to you about is young Midoriya," He paused, waiting for a reply, I nodded and he then continued,

"First of all, I would blame myself for what Midoriya has become. The first time he met me, he asked me if he could be hero without a quirk and before I even knew it I said something I never should have.  I couldn't  stop him, he had run off. I couldn't find him after that. He then entered UA with a quirk, I was surprised but I still needed to apologize.
I tried, every possible time but it didn't work out, he simply ignored everything I said or did. I don't blame him and I'm pretty sure you know the rest, on how he had a passed down quirk and so on and so forth.
When we had our battle, I didn't have any intention of going easy on him and he was a tough opponent. From the way he planned his moves to how he could predict my moves, he was smart. I could have made an attempt to fight harder but I didn't because of a few things I realized. The first one being that he was hesitant, he wasn't entirely consumed by his desire, it was almost as if he was struggling between what to hold on to. This was something your classmate Yaoyorozu noticed.
If I'm not mistaken, you were there during there fight but you didn't hear their conversation because she knew you were there. She had her reasons for making the conversation between herself and Midoriya inaudible. You must have suddenly heard him lash out at her and then fight again, that was because she had guessed his scheme right." I stopped him halfway.

"How do you know this? What did she say?" I asked,

"I spoke to her a few days after the fight, she told me all that I've told you now but she said the conversation she had with Midoriya is something you should ask him, directly," He paused.

I lost my appetite for the coffee I was drinking,
"Wait, so you're telling me that I should talk to him directly about this?" I asked, afraid to hear the answer.

"Exactly, if you want that is. We can go together next week, he's under heavy security so I think we'll be fine." All Might said.

Ochako should you do this? I mean nothing's going to happen right? It's not a big deal, I mean like everything will be right? Right? What should I do? I can say no too but I need answers. I need to relieve my head of all of this and that's only possible if I go talk to him, yes I should definitely go.

I argued within myself but finally my decision was made,

"Alright then, next week it is."

Todoroki's P.O.V
I couldn't bring myself to look at Yaoyorozu, Uraraka's words were constantly on replay in my head.

"Hey, it's fine, I know you meant well." She said gently.
"She's just a bit lost now, she'll understand sooner or later, let's just give her some time and space to sort everything out." Yaoyorozu looked at me.

I faced her, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it would offend her or anything, I'll apologize later."

She smiled.
The day of the fight, she was wounded heavily, the injuries were really bad and due to that her time at the hospital was longer than the others.

However, she told me nothing of the fight. I asked her a few times but she just refused, I didn't want to pressure her but I also wanted to help her.

"Todoroki, don't worry about it, I'll tell you soon." It was almost as of she had read my mind.

I nodded, we sat there in comfortable silence.
She was the first person I actually had a proper conversation with on my first year at UA. I found it easy to talk to her. She didn't overreact to anything I say neither did she find me cold. She always listened, she helped me all the time and after our first battle with Aizawl sensei, we just got closer.
Now we're in our second year of UA, bordering the end of it and she's my best friend. I mean she's great, she's smart, caring, responsible and recently when I'm with her I feel a bit "light" you could say, I don't know what it is, I should probably ask Fuyumi because she could tell me  which doctor to go to or....

"Todoroki," Yaoyorozu said, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah, what is it?" I asked
"There's a chance that my legs won't be able to function the way it was before and it may take a long time to recover..."
I cut her off,
"I'll help you, if you have to stay back at home, I'll bring you the work everyday and I'll help you walk everyday until your legs get better." I said.

There were tears in her eyes, did I say anything wrong?
What is wrong with you Shouto? First you made Uraraka upset now Yaoyorozu, what did I say?

"Don't worry Todoroki you didn't say anything wrong, it's just that I'm soo glad to have someone like you with me."
