The barrier {Izuku Midoriya X Reader}

Chapter 10: Hard work.

Aubrey's POV:

10 months...

10 months of hard work, regret, food loss, sleep loss, and exhaustion. The UA Exams have come around the corner.

Shoto said that his dad was recommending him, so I shouldn't worry about him. But being the totally awesome friend I am... I DO worry. I feel bad for leaving him to his dad.

"Hey (N/n)." My thoughts were interrupted by Izuku.

"Yeah?"

"Meet me at the beach at 3 o'clock tomorrow. We are going to get One for All. Even if it takes all my strength." He stated, throwing his fist in the air. It reminded me of Fairy Tail, and how every four months is a year there. So I've been gone 8 1/2 years.

(I just thought about it. If one month here was a year there that would be 34 years minus 7 so add 27 to Natsu's age. Yeah. No. I changed it. Lol.)

"Okay!" I said, joining him in the arm raise. "Lets do this."

So that's we're getting up at 2 o'clock in the morning happened. It took me so long to get out of the house. Cause being a hero, means you have a light sleeper. By the time I got out of the house and on the street, it was 2:54am.

I got to the beach 6 minutes passed 3. I saw Izuku waiting patiently on a fridge.

"IZUKU. IM SORRY." I yelled, getting his attention. "My dad is a REALLY light sleeper."

"I know I kinda expected it." He said, nodding . "Now lets get to work!"

"AYE-SIR!" 'Happy...'

~Timeskip~

It is now 4:30 in the morning and half of the beach has been cleaned off. It's getting warmer so Izuku took his shirt off leaving his now toned chest and six-pack show. I also took off my shirt, leaving me with a (F/c) training bra, and (S/f/c) Nike pants on. Izuku was too busy to notice, and I'm glad. But it's whatever.

((F/c)-Favorite color
(S/f/c)-Second favorite color. I'm also sorry to my friend ChaiseRules for having to read this. Lol.)

6 strikes and the beach is spotlessly clean. Izuku and I stand on a pile of garbage to admire our work. When all of a sudden Izuku lets out a battle cry. I thought he was weird but put myself in his shoes. 'We can finally have One for All!' It wasn't long after that I joined him in the cry. After all...

We did it!

"Hey, hey, holy crap kids. You even cleaned up outside the area I told you to." Dad says while our screaming ceases. "Seriously... There's not one speck of trash left on this beach. Only a few minutes to spare. But you exceeded my expectations! Holy... Stinkin! SUPERCRAP!" He bulges into his hero form.

Izuku starts swaying back as my legs start giving up on me and I swing forward. Dad catches both of us with his speed, holding us in his arms. "Excellent work, you two."

"I finished everything." Izuku says tiredly. I softly hit my foot on his forehead. "All Might. I did it. Do you think I'm ready now?"

"I helped too, dummy." I rested my foot on his chest too tired to move it away. "Dad. Are we ready?"

"Yeah, you did good, kids. I gotta say, I'm impressed." Dad said then set us down. "I knew you had it in you, but this is beyond."

"Well, you know what they say..." I start, weakly throwing my hand up. "Go beyond! Plus Ultra." Dad laughed and put his phone in front of our faces.

"Umm.." Izuku started.

"It's you crying ten months ago." Dad said, as I looked more closely. It was Izuku crying while I rubbed his back for comfort the first morning we started. "Look how far you've come." He looked at our muscles. "Such improvement!"

Izuku and I looked at each other, eyeing the six-pacs, the biceps, and the muscles grown. We blushed and looked back at my dad.

"There's still a long road ahead of you before you two can inherit my full power set." Dad started again and pointed to the bid heaps of trash above us. "But it's starting to look like you can do it." Izuku smirks and looks at his hand.

"All Might... do I deserve this? Are you sure?" He started, Dad looked at him in confusion. He started to cry. "You put so much time and energy into helping us. How did I end up this lucky?" I put my right hand in his green hair, and smiled, starting to tear up as well.

"Izuku. Your special indeed, destiny gave you this choice. You didn't have a quirk in the first place, JUST so you could inherit One for All." I hugged his left arm and leaned my head onto his shoulder. "I'm proud of you! Your one step closer to achieving your dream to be a hero! You've come a long way. I can't take credit for all the hard work and focus you put into this. You may never think your a hero, but you'll always be my hero!"

"Indeed." Dad said, "are you really worried about that after all these months?" He pat Izuku's back. "It was you me hard work that did this... not mine, nor (Y/n)." He stood in front of us. "Now. For your rewards, Izuku Midoriya, (Y/n) (L/n)."

"YES-SIR." We yelled together, getting excited.

Dad plucked two pieces of his hair, "Someone once told me this once. There's a difference between being lucky and deserving. One's an accident, the other a reward. Never get the two confused." We gasped. "Take that to heart, you two. These gifts. You earned it with your own valiant efforts." He waved the hairs in front of his chest.

'This is it, the first step to being a real hero!'

"EAT THIS."
