Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 56 - Like an aftershock

Iida yawned, and made his way downstairs. It was around five in the morning, and he was getting ready for his daily morning exercise routine. He would come back indoors at five thirty, take a quick shower and prepare his breakfast until six, pack his bag and check to make sure all his worksheets and books were in place until six thirty, before going around the dorms and waking everyone else up. Two hours were more than enough time to prepare breakfast, eat it, change into their school uniform, pack their school bags and get ready for school; lessons started at eight thirty in the morning, and everyone should aspire to be in the classroom by eight as a buffer, just in case of any accidents occurs before classes started.

He left a note on the table in case Aizawa was wondering where he was, before he headed out, making sure to close the door behind him gently to avoid waking anyone up by accident, though he was sure it was pretty unlikely since no one was sleeping on the first floor.

He jogged around the campus a couple of times, before heading back to the dorms. He popped some toast into the oven, and set the timer, before going back to his room to shower. He threw on a t-shirt, and walked back to the kitchen, spreading some jam on his toast before consuming it. He grabbed an apple from the fridge, and ate it, throwing the core into the trash bin, before going back to his room again. He quickly sieved through all his notes, relatively sure that there wasn't any homework given due to the training camp, but he just checked just in case there were any outstanding homework assignments that he had never finished.

Much to his delight, there was none, and he neatly placed his textbooks and notes into his bag, changing into his school uniform. He checked his watch; it was only six fifteen, so he could wait for fifteen more minutes before going to wake everyone up.

He heard some noises from the corridor, and he looked out of his room, expecting to see that either Shinsou or Koda had gotten up. Much to his surprise, he found that Midoriya's door was open, and the green haired boy was trudging out of his room. Reiko was grooming herself, but Ryuto was just lying on the ground, looking like he was asleep.

"Well, good morning, Midoriya." Iida grinned, waiting for Midoriya to respond. The green haired boy turned around, looking at him in confusion. He was pretty sure he hadn't switched off the lights before he went to sleep, and he was pretty guilty about that he didn't do so since he would be wasting electricity, but he was pretty relieved that someone had switched it off for him. His curtains weren't drawn, and there was more than enough light flooding into the room so that he wouldn't freak out.

"Did you have a nice rest?"

Midoriya shrugged, lifting his hands to sign, before realising that, one, his fingers and hands were hurting too much to sign, and two, Iida wasn't good at sign language, before he sighed, "... woke up... school... get ready..."

He coughed, and Iida led the boy down to the kitchen, quickly pouring him a cup of water. Midoriya carefully poured the liquid down his throat, his hand shaking as he placed the cup back on the table. There was a knock on the door, and Iida and Midoriya looked at the door in confusion.

The door was pushed open, and Nezu walked into the 1-A dorms, looking at Midoriya in surprised, "Oh... I wasn't expecting you to be awake, Izuku. I assumed that you would have slept in."

"...habit... wake up early... later than usual..." Midoriya replied, as Nezu walked towards the table, a small bag in his hand.

Iida looked at Nezu and Midoriya in confusion, "Uh... first name basis?"

Nezu glanced at Iida, and grinned cheekily, "Ah. Iida. I adopted Izuku a few months ago, but don't tell anyone else, alright?"

Iida mutely nodded, as Nezu climbed up onto the chair next to him, emptying the bag out to reveal a few packets of medication.
