Next day,
Train station...

Midoriya's POV

I only stared at the floor with blank expression, not feeling very hyped about this internship that I was about to attend. Everyone seemed very thrilled by this since this is our chance to watch pro's works at a much closer distance, not to mention, we were going to work together with them. But I didn't feel enthusiasted about this at all depsite being the hero nerd I was.

I just can't erase this worry in my heart... I'm so scared that I will lose him...

Tenko-nii...

My hand unconsciously gripped the suitcase that I was holding with care in my arms. I gritted my teeth out of frustration and I hoped no one noticed it. I had been acting out of character lately and some of my friends caught it and yeah, being the one who didn't like to worry other I was, I told them many lies.

How messed up I'm right now...

Why did I keep lying to them? Because I don't want Tenko-nii to get caught... And me too...

I was in relationship with a villain. A VILLAIN.

A true enemy of a hero...

But that doesn't mean he is a bad person from inside...

That's why I love him...

"Deku-chan?" Ochako-chan called me out in sad tone so I immediately turned to look at her. She was staring at me in worry. "Are you okay?" She asked me shortly but it was enough to tell that she wss extremely concerned about my condition while her hand patting my shoulder to comfort me.

I mustered a small reassuring smile for her, closing my eyes. "I'm fine! I'm actually excited about our internship!" I said half-scream while pumping out my fists in the air energetically, grinning ear-to-ear at my best girl. Ochako-chan didn't seem to look happy even a bit but still smiled at me slightly. "I see... I'm glad you're fine..." She expressed sadly.

I looked at her puzzledly before my eyes shifted to Iida-kun who was walking toward his station. My mind suddenly recalled the unfortunate event that happened to him before.

Ingenium got attacked by a villain... And can't work as a hero anymore...

That's really sad... It might be hard for him to face this...

I then gripped Ochako-chan's wrist and pulled her along with me, jogging toward Iida-kun. "Iida-kun!" I shouted his name to stop him. He slowly turned around, staring at me silently, his face was already darkened with...

Frustration...

"If you ever feel hopeless, let us know, okay? We're friends, right?" I told Iida-kun, my emerald eyes locked on him. He smiled at me slightly. "Yeah." Was his only answer which really hit me hard.

I was too sad about Tenko-nii leaving me that I totally didn't care about my best friend's well being. I've to be strong!

Stop thinking about him for a while and focused on your study and friends, Izuku! I can do it! Fighting!

I was still worried about Iida-kun so I stepped closer to him and gave him a warm hug  startling both Iida-kun and Ochako-chan. Short moment after that, I let him go and smiled widely at him. "Take care yourself,okay?" I reminded him, my hand still gripped his broad shoulders.
