Boku No Dancing University ((Slice of life))

Sorting things out

Izuku was still waiting in his hospital bed. His mom might've been stuck in traffic since everyone is trying to leave at this time of day. He left his back pack at the school as well. So there's nothing he really do. He doesn't want to watch T.V either. Looking up at the screen hurts his neck, and it's not like he could see it well anyways. Then there was a knock on the door. "Come in!" Izuku called out. The door opened and a man with sunglasses, a hat and a scarf covering his face walked in. This scared Izuku quite a bit so he grabbed the tissue box and he wasn't afraid to use it.

"Whoa whoa! Put that tissue box down before you hurt someone." The man takes off his accessories. It was Tashinori. Izuku lowers the box.

"All Might? What are you doing here?" The boy asked, confused but happy.

"I heard what happened during auditions so I came here to check on you and bring your backpack." Yagi said and puts Izuku's backpack on a chair.

"How did you know what happened?"

"Well I'm a teacher there. We have to know everything about our students!" The man laughed. Izuku smiled.

"You're a teacher?! I heard rumors but I thought they were just rumors!" Izuku exclaimed. He was so happy that Allmight might be his teacher. He already is his coach, but this different in his eyes.

"Well now it's the truth!" Tashinori laughed some more and then looked at Izuku's bed. Wires were everywhere. It was pretty worry some to look at. Then there was tension in the room. "Why didn't you tell me you were sick?" He asked in a serious tone that would send shivers down someone's spine. Izuku didn't get scared though. He locks his jaw tightly before saying anything. "Do you realize if anything huge would've happened to you, then I wouldn't be able to forgive myself?"

"I didn't want to tell you!! There was no need to. I'm fine. Me working hard isn't going to affect my health. I just have to be careful about what I eat..." There was a lump in his throat, "I hate that I'm in this body. It doesn't function like everyone else's and I shouldn't be careless, I know that already. But please... Don't take it easy on me because of this. Because if you do. Then I will never feel like I'm being treated equally!" Izuku yelled out, holding back the tears. He doesn't want the pity stares, or be praised when he does something that people like him don't really do, but for others it's normal. He doesn't see any balance to that at all. Tears were flowing down his cheeks slowly but it wasn't from sadness. He was determined.
"I'm sorry I never told you this, but I honestly don't care for being the number one dancer! I want to be a dancer, and if that means aiming for number one. Then I'll die happy trying." Izuku wipes away the tears while sniffling. Tashinori sighs. He's never gonna get used to the kid's crying. The blonde sits next to Izuku. Then he pats his head.

"You know... I said the same thing at one point." Tashinori said. Izuku looks at him with his tear stained face. "When my trainer died I went to seek guidance from one of her friends. And that's when I met your grandmother..." Izuku seemed to be calming down a bit.

"You meet my grandmother?"

Izuku's grandmother had her dad when she was a teenager so it was possible that she meet him.

Tashinori chuckled. "Yeah... She was only 5 years older than me, but she was a good teacher none the less. She moved to the music in ways I could only dream of doing. Then one day she scolded me for doing something dumb and I told her that I didn't want to be the top dancer, just a dancer. Because I didn't want to feel different from anyone else."

"Then What did she say?"

"She said that It wasn't the progress towards the top that's going to make you a great dancer. It's progress of making others feel happy when you do something you love... Popularity doesn't make you a dancer. And only then when others look at you with hope and wonder. You are a dancer." Tashinori looks down. It seemed as though a rush of memories filled his head. It looked kinda painful. Midoriya noticed the aura became slightly tense.
