As soon as class A had heard what had happened to Izuku, they all had rushed to Recovery Girl's office. As they arrived they saw the two teens passed out holding hands, Izuku smiling in her sleep.

She is so cuuute, everyone thought. Mina, as she was the first to walk in, was also the first to speak.

"Don't they look cute together?" Everyone nodded, because this couple couldn't be a better fit.

Uraraka then walked up to the two sleeping individuals and shook them awake.

"Rise and shine you love birds," Mina whispered. As the duo woke up they saw the entire class surrounding them, and, after looking down quickly blushed and looked away.
"H-hey everyone." Midoriya said with a nervous smile, she scratched the back of her head not used to its length. Everyone just noticed this, to preoccupied by the hand holding to notice the hair.

"Oh my gosh Izu you look so cute!!!"

"Your hair looks perfect!"

"Your boobs are the same size," (earning a slap by every girl).

As the comments got to numerous Izuku looked around frantically feeling cornered, making eye contact with Kirishima.

"Guys! Move back she needs space!" Kirishima yelled, "she is recovering let her heal before bombarding her with questions."

Everyone sighed and backed up, reluctant to do so but also noticing the frantic nature of Midoriya's staring. As everyone backed away Izuku's hand again caught the warmth of Kirishima and her bandaged arm reached for him again.

"Okay now one at a time please" Kirishima said.

"Thank you Eijiro," mumbled Midoriya before mentally preparing herself for the questions.

"What happened?" Midoriya sighed she knew this would be the first question. "We were all just told that there was an accident."

Midoriya nodded timidly, not wanting to tell them the truth, "I accidentally broke a mirror and glass covered my arm cutting it up. I should be fine though don't worry." Kirishima squeezed her hand in a reassuring manner.

"I got a question!" Mine shouted raising her hand high. "What happened between you and Kirishima?" Everyone nodded at this question and looked at the blushing couple.

"N-nothing. He just helped me get here. That's all." Midoriya said with her face as red as can be. Kirishima nodded in agreement and looked away, though still gripping each others hands.

"Then why are you still holding hands!" Mina said, accusation written all over her voice.

Izuku was about to reply when Eijiro answered for her. "Izuku just needed some support so I stayed here with her."

"Yeah I get that but still you could let go you know, Izu your acting light you'll die if you let go." Mina said, prying for the details.

Blushing furiously Izuku tried to come up with a responds but once again failed.

Kirishima hesitated for a moment he looked at Izuku and then sighed, "She just is scared by all your crazy questions, that's all." Deku nodded vigorously, smiling at the red haired kid.

"Okay... Fine then be like that," Mina said, pouting slightly. Kirishima rolled his eyes at his childhood friend, knowing exactly why she was annoyed.

"I have a question," Tsu said raising her hand. As the group turned to the frog girl they all waited for her to talk. "How did the mirror break?"

Midoriya sighed, and mumbled, "U-um, it was, uhhhh," Midoriya hesitated, not wanting to say how she had purposefully cut herself so she was at a loss of words.

"JUST SHUT UP YOU EXTRAS SHE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT" Kacchan screamed, "SO LAY OFF YOU FROG FREAK!!!" Everyone was shocked, not just because of Bakugou's sudden appearance from behind the group but also because Kacchan had defended Deku.

Why are they so surprised? Kacchan thought, I was Damn Deku's friend and I know how h-she feels better then anyone here.

Everyone was speechless after Bakugou's outburst and people started to slowly trickle out of the room until it was just 4 people left. Iida, Uraraka, Kirishima, and Katsuki, and they eventually started speaking again.

"So what really happened Deku?" Iida asked, "But if you don't feel like sharing then that is o-"

"It's okay Iida, I can tell you guys." She reach's out and grabs Eijirou and Uraraka's hands for support, "Just g-give me a second."

Izuku looked sadder then before, if that was even possible, and tear slid down her cheek. "You guys are my closest friends," Kacchan "tch'd" in contempt. "You were always their to support me Uraraka, but I just disappointed all of you."

The tears started flowing faster and faster until Midoriya was once again full on bawling her eyes out, something that has been happening more and more lately. As Izuku cried untold amounts she felt a hand on her shoulder, a reassuring one, and as she looked up at the spiky red head who this hand belonged to, all she felt was empathy from this mature boy, no mature man.

"It j-just was so hard to deal with th-this. Everyone s-saw me as w-weak Deku, pathetic D-Deku. I was only a-another person that needed to be pr-protected. N-no one thinks I'm useful,I'm all al-alone. All because I'm a g-girl, and then Todo-Kun treated me d-different only because I look d-different. I'm still me! " Midoriya felt a cold cloud settle on her shoulders, it froze her body slowly until she was unable to struggle against this powerful feeling. All that she felt was alone in this barren wasteland of life, fear and sadness seizing her throat preventing her from speaking, grabbing at her until it stripped away the last layers of protection of love that kept her sheltered from this all encompassing cold.

Izuku took a breath in this dream world, and saw the it dance in the air, the only happiness in this world until that to faded away. In that moment, all Izuku felt was alone, her voice wouldn't work, and she couldn't finish her speech, nothing keeping her together, until she felt a heat.

It started as a palm print on her hand, and then a warming hand on the arm, holding her steady, with sunlight streaming through the clouds. And then there was a pair of arms around her chest, hugging the green haired iceberg, and melting her slowly back to her old self. The last thing moment of warmth was from a hand on the shoulder, snapping back to reality Midoriya saw all of her friends before her.

Uraraka had tears staining her eyes and were leaking from the sides of her face, Iida had a handkerchief and was cleaning his tears, and Kacchan was looking away from Izuku, his hand still on her shoulder.

"Deku you were never weak, even when I beat you, you still came back no matter what." Katsuki said this then looked at Deku in the eyes, "You are amazing and don't forget that damn Nerd."

Even more tears came to her eyes as MIdoriya looked around, her eyes finally settling on Kirishima, who was hugging her from the back. Once they made eye contact he gave her a beautiful smile. It isn't like his normal one, where it encourages people to try harder and to do their best, no, this was understanding. It was showing how, he too would had felt useless, but he is their to help.

With all this support the last clouds of cold were banished away and light returned to Midoriya. She smiled, and Kirishima's heart swelled with this smile. Opposed to the broken one displayed yesterday, this one showered her growing knowledge that she was not alone in this new world. Izuku always would have help no matter who it came from.

After everything was said and done, Deku had cried until she fell asleep in the arms of her greatest supporters, knowing she was loved by these people.

A/N

Wooooooweeeee. That last bit hit me in the feels, couldn't help but want to shed a few tears for my girl Deku. I think this was a good way for Deku to grow while still hinting at the underlying pain of Kirishima, speeding his growth up after seeing his friend overcome it. All in all I think it was good.

BTW kinda want to make the new Izuku have a couple girl's night chapter because the last one was depressing and Jirou is my favorite character and need to write her in more.

With lots of love and care,
