Waves (KiriBakuDeku)

Chapter 20

Izuku's POV~

"You didn't fill out a report after your patrol." Shoto said, his voice monotone, like always, but I knew he was mad.

"I know." I said quietly, waiting to get yelled at. Ura and Iida were also in the room, but they were remaining silent, which is ever worse.

Getting yelled at by Iida is a given, he freaks out over the littlest things. Ura is a worse, definitely. She's used for more serious matters when it comes to me. But Shoto... getting yelled at by Shoto while the other two just observe, is the worst. It's only happen one other time and it's when I willingly sacrificed myself to save the other pros that were with me. Obviously I didn't die, but after the lecture by Shoto, I kind of wanted to.

"You didn't even stop in after." He stated like I wasn't aware that it happened.

"I know." I cringed at my reply. There wasn't anything else I could really say. I couldn't just be like, 'I found out my two boyfriends were Red and Zero so I took a mental health break and forgot to tell anyone', that wouldn't go over well.

"You didn't respond to any of our texts or calls."

"I know."

"There were at least five pros out looking for you last night." He said, startling me. I didn't know about that.

"What? Why?" I asked worriedly.

"Because we couldn't find you Midoriya! We thought you fucking died or something!" He finally snapped and his indifference shattered. "You don't seem to comprehend how much you worry all of us. We care about you, apparently more than you care about yourself." He said, a bit bitterly, but I knew he meant well. He was just upset and I couldn't really blame him.

"I-I know! I'm sorry I'm always worrying you guys, it's never my intentions. I just- I just don't think sometimes and-" I rushed to explain myself, looking at the other two pros as well as Shoto, but I was cut off before I could finish.

"Exactly! You don't think! You constantly need a babysitter so that you don't get yourself killed!" He exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air. I kept my eyes trained on the ground, feeling ashamed for my recklessness. At least no one else ever gets hurt, just me. I could be a worse hero honestly.

He let out an exhausted sigh. "Look, we just want you to look after yourself more." He explained. He looked over at Ura and Iida hesitantly, then back to me. "That's why we've collectively decided it would be best if at least one us went with you on patrols from now on." He said, seeming to dread my response.

"Excuse me?! You can't be serious!" I shouted, not believing what they were telling me. I hated patrolling with other people and they knew that. Not only that, but the fact they were telling me I needed an escort because I couldn't handle myself, well lets just say that was a low blow.

"We are serious. I'm sorry Midoriya, I know how much you're going to hate this, but it's for your own good." Iida said with a stern, but understanding, voice.

"I'm sorry Deku, but they're right." Uraraka said with an apologetic look.

I was pissed. I hadn't died yet, so clearly I was able to take care of myself just fine. A few injuries were expected in this line of work. Why couldn't they just understand that? I was just more susceptible because of my rank. This isn't anything new to the world.

"Whatever. Who am I stuck with tonight?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest. I wasn't mad often, and it showed by the way they reacted to my tone. Uraraka flinched, Iida's eyes were wide, and Shoto had a slight frown.

"Me." The duel haired hero said after a moment of pause. I nearly rolled my eyes at the answer. Of course he'd be with me first. He's the only one that would be able to deal with me while I'm still mad at them. I'd probably end up making Ura cry, and Iida and I would just yell at each other.
