Todoroki POV
The bell for last period rang. I looked at Izuka ti see her smile had faded to a straight face. She then lowered her head. I could tell she didn't want to go back to class.

"Guys Izuka cant go back just yet. Not now. Shes not mentally stable to face hero training." I said speaking up. "As much as I hate to agree with Icyhot, he has a valid point. Shes not ready to face the class after this incident." Said Bakugo.

"But you cant skip Hero Training. We have our mid terms." Said Uraraka. "I may have a solution." Spoke the girl with brown and artic blue hair with wolf ears.

"Who are you again?" Said Bakugo rudely. The boy next to her spoke up and said "She is the student council president Runa Rukariku. And I'm Kareshi. Please though, be a but more polite." Kareshi said as his eyes turned from soft red to dirty pink. Then the most impossible thing happened.

"Then forgive my rudeness. Please accept my apology." Said Bakugo CALMLY!

Rukariku then spoke up with her hands in front of her,vl  "Kareshi, there's no need. That's how Bakugo is. Now because of my status, I have almost the same power as Principle Nezu or a teacher. Hence why I gave you permission to use your quirks. I can also excuse you and Midoriya for a few days. You two are free to leave. But you must come back on Thursday. Friday are mid terms after all. The rest of you thank you for your support. Please head to class."

With that the rest of the student council, Kirishima, Uraraka, Iida, and Bakugo left to class. Leaving Me, Izuka, Keebo, Rukariku and the other boy with I'm guessing who has an emotion control quirk; Kareshi.

Rukariku then smiled and nodded. She grabbed Kareshi's hand and said, "I'll be notifying your teachers you will be out for the next two day. Take care now." They then started walking to the door when is said, "Thank you. Thank you for saving Izuka, Rukariku." She didn't even turn to me she just said, "Call me Runa." And with that they left.

I looked at Izuka qho had a straight face. "Come on. Let's get you home." I took her hand and led her home.

Midoriya POV
When me and Shoto got to my house he sat me on the couch. "Let me see them. The cuts." He said. I nervously rolled my sleeves and slowly undid the bandages on each arm. The more I unrolled the more Shoto's face grew sadder.

Soon my arms had nothing but cuts. Some big. Some small. Some deep. Some shallow. Some new. Some old. The cuts varied. After Shoto looked at them he got up and went to my kitchen. He came back with some rubbing alcohol and new bandages.

He applied the rubbing alcohol which stung, on the cuts. He then gently wrapped the bandages on my arms. When he was done he looked at my arms in sorrow.

"How...how do you know how to take care of wounds so well?" I asked. I knew the answer. When he was younger he was forced into intensive training. So intense that he'd end up badly hurt. So he learned to to take care of himself. I only asked to make him talk a bit. He looked so sad.

"You already know that answer." He said still looking down. "Why papa sad?" Asked Keebo. Shoto then took my hands and looked at me in the eyes. Soon his eyes started to tear up. Soon he began crying. He put his head into my neck.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't help you when you really needed it. I almost lost you...because of me..." he said as he continued to cry.

"And for long, you went through so much pain. I-" I interrupted him by hugging him close.

"Please...stop...its not your fault...I'm not going anywhere now. As long as you stay with me. Please dont leave me?" I said whispering in his ear.

"I promise." He said.

A/N that little promise is actually a part of my personal life. It's me and my boyfriend' promise.


fter awhile of hugging, Shoto let go and looked at me. "Is it alright if I do something for you?" He asked. "Um sure." I said. He then smiled at me and got ou his phone.

Todoroki POV

As I played the music I looked at Izuka with gentle eyes. I Began to sing...

I dreamed I was missing,
And you were so scared.
But no one would listen.
'Cause no one else cared.

After my dreaming,
I woke with fear.
What am I leaving,
When I'm done here?

So if your asking me,
I want you to know...

When my time comes,
Forget the wrong that I've done!
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed!

Dont resent me!
When your feeling empty!
Keep me in your memory!
Leave out all the rest!

Leave out all the rest.

As I sang I looked at Izuka. She wore a calm smile with Keebo on her lap. He was swaying along. It seemed Izuka knew this song. And sure enough she did.

"Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you" she sang.


"So, if you're asking me,
I want you to know " we sang together.

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Forgetting
All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

Through the whole song, all I could think of was Izuka's pain. And how I was such an idiot. "Hmm." Said Izuka. As she said this, a smile came into view. A genuine one.

She placed her head on my shoulder and held me. I placed my head on hers and Keebo lay right next to mine.

"Thank you Sho..to...*yawn*"
"Night papa..."

I smiled as I realized the had fallen asleep.
