Class 1-C (My Hero Academia Fanfiction) - Book 1

The Talk...

Mikoto and Iida were far from the others as they both sat down near a table.

Some people who walked by seem to recognize them from U.A but didn't say anything...

Although there were some whispers.

Mikoto: So...what did you want to talk about...

Iida stayed quiet for a moment, as he looked down at the table, a flash appeared on his glasses shielding his eyes from meeting Mikoto's.

Mikoto grew a little concerned.

Mikoto: Tenya...

At the sound of his first name, Iida looked up to see Mikoto giving him a small smile.

Mikoto: It's okay if you don't want to-?!

Iida: I'M SORRY!

Mikoto: E-Eh?!

Iida: Yukimura-kun! I am truly sorry!

Mikoto: W-What are you saying sorry for...

Iida manage to calm down before regaining his composure a bit.

Iida: I...wanted to apologise for my actions back at the internship.

Mikoto:.....

Iida: I...was so foolish... because of my actions, many people had suffer...even you...who suffered the most out of everyone that was there. Because of me...you, Midoriya-kun, and Todoroki-kun had to fight Stain. You almost lost your life twice because of me! I'm so so so sorry...I just...wanted to help my brother...

Mikoto stayed quiet as he watched the taller teen cried...it made Mikoto's stomach twist with guilt.

That night, Mikoto was angry at Iida for endangering but now he can't help but feel sorry for him. I mean after all,  even though his brother survived the hero killer...but his career is over. Now he has to spend the rest of life in a wheelchair and Iida has to take on the role of Ingenium.

Mikoto: Tenya...Please...look at me...

Iida looks up at him and Mikoto pulls him into a hug.

Mikoto: I...well...just go ahead and cry...I'm here.

And that's exactly what Iida did...he cried on Mikoto's shoulder quietly telling him how sorry he was or how it was his fault that all of this happened.

Iida: *Sobs* Sorry...I'm sorry...Brother...Brother...he's...

Mikoto: I know...just be thankful...that he's still alive and breathing. That's all that truly matters...

Iida nodded. After a while of crying, he pulled himself together.

Iida: T-Thank you Yukimura-kun...I needed that...I'm so sorry.

Mikoto: Please...Stop apologizing... Everyone's okay now and no one blames you. I shouldn't act hypocritical about this...Anyone would've done the same if they were in your shoes. Souta would if it was his brother. Sylvia would if it was her father. Shouto would if it was his siblings...his mother...Me....I also...would have done it if it was Izuku...or my parents...

Iida: I see...

Mikoto: Iida...for now on...You don't have to suffer anymore...let Izuku, Uraraka, and everyone else in Class
1-A help you. So remember, we are all in this together.

Iida: Yes...You're right. You really are inspirational, Yukimura-kun! Truly a better hero than I am.

Mikoto: Oh please stop degrading yourself...You're starting to sound like Izuku...
