Part 19 - Guilt

** AN: Heyo! So, heads up, there is a somewhat steamy scene coming. Just letting you know! ;) ** 

"This can't keep happening," Midnight had her iconic whip in hand, "He followed her and made contact already, what's next? What if she gets kidnapped on her way home from school? She's too precious to get dragged off by some lowly creeps."

Your aunt had been in hysterics with the police and All Might. You were surprised that the number one hero made time to visit, but you supposed it had to do with Shigaraki. You could tell he wanted to speak with you, but the police were keeping him busy, along with the many adoring fans in the restaurant. 

"You don't have to stay if you don't want to, Hitoshi," you said, "You've already been here for hours."

"Don't be stupid," he rolled his eyes, "I've decided to not leave your side, ever. So. Deal with it, I guess."

You made yourselves comfortable at a different booth. Shinso leaned against the wall and you were falling asleep on his shoulder. At this rate, you were both getting accustomed to police questioning. There were even a few familiar faces from the night with Stain - so there's that... 

"You know, part of being a pro-hero requires us to face villains on the regular," you grinned.

"Yeah, but we aren't pros yet. So, practice patience." 

"It's not my fault!" you frowned. In a way, it kind of was? 

Finally, All Might was able to break away. His massive, heroic body and brilliant smile approached your table, "Young (Y/N), and Hitoshi Shinso, is it?" 

"Yes sir," Shinso said.

"I am going to personally escort both of you home tonight. Have no fear - there are going to be some changes to ensure that you and your fellow students will feel secure at UA. These villains will be stopped... because I AM HERE!"

"Thanks, All Might..." you gave a lopsided smile. 

You knew Shinso couldn't live with you, still, it was sad to see him go. Before you left him at his front door, he pulled you in for a hug and roughly kissed your forehead. "Don't do anything stupid," he muttered. 

All Might was covering his face in embarrassment when you returned to the sidewalk - for his embarrassment or yours? He was such a goofy guy, you thought. How could he be so cheery when he's faced villain after villain... 

You felt slightly better after All Might organized an overnight watch at your house. But Shigaraki knew Shinso now too... Would he be safe? You didn't plan on sleeping since you had practice with Bakugo in a few hours, so you could check on Shinso as often as you like - if he liked it or not was irrelevant.

Midnight was already inside, and All Might was about to take his leave, but you had to stop him. 

"All Might?" 

Crickets were your chorus, and the stars were your light. It may be your only chance to see All Might alone. His broad back slowly turned, "What is it, (Y/N)?" 

"Do you really think I can be a hero? Someone like you?" 

All Might knelt in front of you, his empty eyes full of wisdom, "You can. You can become your own. Stay true to your path, and you will never have to question." 

You nodded, "You don't think... because I'm..." Something wet slid down your cheek. Dammit, I'm as bad as Midoriya! 

A heavy hand fell on your shoulder, "I don't want you to think about what Tomura said. He wants you to feel alone, that's the only way he can get to you. Even if there comes a time when you do feel lonely, or doubt yourself, just remember that you always have us. Your friends. UA. Midnight. Even Aizawa has a soft side. My point is, being a true hero doesn't always mean people will love you. I face criticism every day - not to mention the death threats... But it isn't about being liked."
