I Found What I Was Missing

Chapter 7: The Path to Happiness

The Path to Happiness

"Holy shit, we've been flying for-fucking-ever!" Katsuki shouted as they climbed off of the airship; cracking his neck as the wind swept through his hair.

"Three days of none stop flying really does take it out of you," Ochaco commented, exhaustion clear in her voice and in her features.
"And we still have to take a boat to the actual island," Denki stated as he stretched his arms above his head.

"Might as well go and get this over with." Hitoshi yawned.
"C'mon guys, look alive!! Isn't this exciting!?" Eijirou exclaimed as they walked out of the building.

"You have way too much energy," Hitoshi stated, something akin to a glare directed at the enthusiastic redhead.
Kirishima laughed almost nervously before his eyes caught something and his attention was directed elsewhere.

Shoto adjusted the strap of his backpack. "It certainly is interesting, though; a new place, those airships it's all a unique experience in it's own," he mentioned.

"I just need a nap in a bed," Hitoshi grumbled to himself.
"Ugh, same." Denki agreed, stifling a yawn.
"Let's just fucking go already!" Katsuki snapped from where he stood feet ahead of them.

The blond alpha turned and started walking again, gaining an even further distance from them. The other seven started to jog in order to catch up with their grumpy alpha.

Izuku couldn't help but gawk at everything he saw, feeling such intense excitement that it nearly threatened to stop him in his tracks, he just couldn't believe it.

He was on his way to his first clue as to his real parents' whereabouts, and he couldn't help but smile, with eyes twinkling as he walked. He wondered what Aunt Mito was like, she had to be an incredible woman if she could raise someone like his dad on her own.

From what he could see on the video, she seemed kind, patient and loving, yet stern. Traits one would need in order to deal with someone like his dad, it would seem. Most people got exaggerated with Gon quite easily, some could hold out a little longer, but in the end, none could really handle him.

Unless you were Killua, of course. Killua was rational, reasonable, a sturdy pillar or rock, someone who could ground Gon, and keep his recklessness in tact. Well, that's what Izuku could tell, anyway; from the video.

"We're here," Tenya stated as they came to a halt.
In the water, was a large ship; with many passengers and workers bustling about.

Ochaco seemed to sigh in relief . "At least now we get to rest for a little while,"
Katsuki grunted in agreement and started to walk forward.
"I'm freaking starving," Denki complained as they boarded the ship.

"We should get something to eat once we dock at Whale Island," Hitoshi told as they all came to rest at a railing.
"Are you excited, Izuku? You're one step closer to finding your parents," Eijirou questioned curiously.

Izuku smiled down at the water. "I am; a little nervous but mostly excited and eager to see what they're like,"
"Would your aunt mind that we're about to barge in on her?" Shoto asked, also gazing down at the ocean.

Izuku frowned suddenly, and shrugged. "I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Mom said that she wouldn't, so I assume it'll be okay,"
They remained quiet most of the time, Hitoshi and Denki actually falling asleep leaned on each other in a corner.

Izuku spent most of his time in his thoughts, only breaking from it to laugh at Katsuki and Shoto; who were having an argument about something, well, it was more Katsuki yelling in Shoto’s ear while the omega stood there, blank faced. Some things never change.
