The Unwilling Traitor

Chapter Seven - Teasing

Izuku's hands shook as he read the note over and over again. This wasn't supposed to happen. He was supposed to be a hero, but instead he is betraying all that he wants to be. And the worst part . . . All For One can say to him whatever he likes. He can give Izuku his whole plan and he still wont be able to do anything about it. One word of this, and everyone he cares about dies. Izuku had already lost the father that he once knew, even if it was only for a few short moments after he was born, he saw how his father had acted. How much love was in his eyes as he held his son. What had happened to that version of his father? And will he ever get it back? 

If there is a silver lining to this, it would be that no one would remember any incident involving any type of clue that could give All For One away. He could count on his father to erase their memories to the scene prior and there will be no problem. 

"Yeah right," Izuku tore the note to shreds and flushed it down the toilet, "like that's a 'silver lining'."

Izuku opened his door and walked out into the hallway. Looking down, he noticed that the blood that had been dripping from his neck the night before had been cleaned from the floor. All For One was going to great lengths to hide this. 

Oh crap

Izuku had completely forgotten that he had slit his neck and pulled out the device. In a panic, he moved his hand, and Izuku touched the spot where he had cut himself, only to feel smooth skin. There was no pain, no scar, no dried blood. All For One must have had another quirk to heal this. Whatever. Izuku decided that he would forget All For One for today and just enjoy himself. 

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, Deku!" a voice called out to the young hero as soon as he rounded the corner to the living area. 

"Oh, hey, Uraraka!" Izuku called back to her, excited to see the friend that he had made a couple of days ago. 

"Oh, yes, Midoriya! Good morning!" Iida's head came up from behind the cushions of the couch next to Uraraka.

Well, it's good to know that no one remembers last night. 

Izuku looked around and noticed that not many people were up yet, but it made sense, for it was the weekend. Most people would want to sleep in, but Izuku doesn't have the luxury. The TV was on, playing a show that Izuku hadn't seen before. 

"So, what are you guys watching?" Izuku asked the two, taking note of the remote sitting next to Uraraka.

"Nothing much," it was Iida who had responded, "just an anime that Uraraka deemed to be cute, so she wanted to watch it. I decided to watch it with her." Iida turned to Uraraka, a questioning look on his face, "What is the name again?"

"Its Poco's Udon World" (OK  I'm sorry I'll stop with the references now ;3). Uraraka seemed to really like it and got absorbed into the TV almost immediately after she was done talking, so Izuku took that as his cue to leave. He turned toward the small kitchen, but his stomach rolled just at the thought of food, so he decided it was best to not eat right now. He had said that he would get All For One off his mind, but he was fighting a loosing battle.

"Aren't you hungry, Midoriya?" a new voice spoke from behind the island, startling the green hero out of his thoughts. A spiky red head popped up from behind the pristine marble and looked at him questioningly. Izuku remembered this person, his name was Kirishima. 

"Nah, I'm good." Izuku gave him a reassuring smile, but he wasn't sure if Kirishima believed it or not. 

"You sure man? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! You gotta eat at least a little bit!" Kirishima was what appeard to be making pancakes, and it was enough to feed his entire class. That's probably what their for. 

"I'll come back down later and eat something, OK? I'm just not hungry right now." and with that, Izuku took off back to his room.

Izuku never came back down to eat.
