chapter 33

"So does your father"

I looked at Allmight with wide eyes. "Y-you knew?" I turned to face him while he continued to stare at the sea. "Well, it was kind of obvious. You didn't put back the files properly," I thought back on when I went through his stuff in secrete.

"Oh," I'm a clown.

"But hey, I should have told you. I should have told you way sooner than I did." He sighed, redrew was laced in his tired voice. He faced me.

"You're a strong kid, and I believe that you will come to do great things young l/n," The encouraging kind words from my uncle left me in shock.

"I've seen how you seem to doubt yourself but we both know you are filled with great potential. If being a hero is not want you to want to do then I'll support you in whatever decision you make." His voice was soft and kind, a feeling of sweet nostalgia washed over me. Memories of who I wanted to be all coming back and rushing in my mind. My eyes were welling up with tears. The walls I've built over the long years had collapsed instantly. Feelings I have fought so hard to not feel were now crashing trough me like water rushing over a broken dam. "As long as you find your self and be happy,"

Tears rolled down my cheeks salty drips falling from my chin to the soft sand of the beach. The crashing of the waves almost drowning out the sounds of my soft sobs. My nose and cheeks now a rosy red as I cried out.

"I want to be a hero! I want to save people!"

My uncle took me into a hug. I clenched his shirt and cried into his shoulder. I trembled not used to the feeling of crying my stupid eyes out. For the first time, I was certain. I want to save dumb ass kids like me who can't help but feel empty. I want to be a hero next to my wonderful friends in class 1A. I want to be someone my mom and dad would be proud of.

"Thank you," I whispered.

Back in U.A., everyone who was apart of the work-study program was told not to talk to each other. Kiri, Ochaco, Tsu, and especially Izuku looked so tense. While I had this sense of relief until I came crashing down to reality and realized that a little girl was in need to be saved. It did make me nervous but through everything, I have to say (even though it's cliche) I believe in us. Besides Izuku learned that he can also break his legs so were good.

"y/n, are you alright? you look a little sick," Shoto looked up at me. "Oh,"

Eating lunch in the cafeteria my eyes are still a bit puffy and my cheeks and nose were definitely pink. "Oi don't say that to a girl she'll go crazy!" Kami joked shoving food in his mouth.

"Oh shut up you e-boy!" I rolled my eyes. "That's homophobic" Kami smirked.

"You're a bItcH"

"no u"

"Okay shut up," Shoto rolled his eyes. I smiled and turned to look at Shoto. "I'm okay! I just cried earlier that's all!" I smiled.

"Who?" Shoto set down his precious soba. "Hmm?" I raised a brow. "Who made you cry?" I smiled at Shoto's concern. "You!" I teased.

"W-what?" Shoto's eyes widened in shocked and what looked to be regret. I instantly felt guilty for even joking about it.
