His Drumming Heartbeat

Reasonings

Kirishima sits with Midoriya, Sero, Jiro, and the rest of the remaining members of the band in the cafeteria at the hospital. It is some time late in the morning, and no one can shake off what happened earlier today. Even so, no one is eager to bring up the conversation. Let alone the genuine motive, Kirishima had to abandon ship where his friends and significant other resides. Inko left an hour after Bakugo stormed out, where she wished everyone injured a speedy recovery before she headed back to her place.

During the last three years, everyone in the band looked at Midoriya's mom as a sort of their second mom. If they ever needed any advice or needed someone to talk to, they would usually go to her first before they would speak to their parents. They respect her, and she respects them equally.

"You know," Sero begins talking to Midoriya, "it was quite funny when Momma Midoriya started talking about you when you were a child."

Everyone starts giggling a bit to themselves, leaving Midoriya red in the face. Midoriya's mom happened to talk about some of the things her son did when he was younger: trying to be some superheroes like those comic books always have. To both Jiro and Yazoryouzo, it was quite adorable to them, Sero and Kaminari were laughing a bit to themselves, and Tokoyami caught chuckling a bit to himself by the rest of the gang. It appeared as surprising to them, but when they all realize he is just like everyone else and has a sense of humor, it makes perfect sense.

"What is this," Midoriya begins to ask, "my week of teasing?"

"Relax," Kaminari tells him, "we are doing this because we care about you!"

Everyone else agreed with him. There has been no other group of students Midoriya has relied on more since his time at U.A High than the ones he is with, well besides his group he hung out with throughout his time. Everyone has been considerate of his feelings throughout the time.

When things appeared robust, everyone who was dear to him always reached their hand out and gave him the support he wanted. He is thankful, precisely the time when Jiro and the others agreed he could be their manager when the band became a full-time thing.

"Yeah, I guess." Midoriya chuckled to himself.

He looks over to Kirishima, who has not let the same melancholy pout on his face omit even at the slightest of jokes. Also, when Kaminari chose to do something utterly idiotic—such as him struggling to eat with his non-dominant hand and complaining about the difficulty of it. It bothers him, knowing back when they were fifteen, his redhead of a friend would always be beaming alongside Kaminari and Sero. Who, Midoriya knows, as a fact, they had a significant role of keeping Bakugo pissed off or entertained to his standards—meaning if they hurt themselves, Bakugo would laugh at it.

"So, Kirishima," he awkwardly starts with, everyone becomes quiet. It gives off this ominous aurora, circulating the whole table. "Can you give your reasoning why you left Kacchan without saying goodbye?"

Jiro, Yazoryouzo, and Tokoyami give each other side glances and brace for something significant to happen. The same thing said for Sero and Kaminari. However, Sero knows somewhat the whole story, whom he picked up from Ashido over two years ago.

He happened to ask her for information about one of his best friend's situations, without getting too much personal detail, of course. The conversation about their shark-toothed friend came up out of the blue when Ashido was talking to Kirishima on the phone when she and Sero were hanging out at some local diner within Tokyo.

Kirishima glances over everyone, realizing all eyes on him, tension arising amongst the young adult. He is nervous, and everyone can tell. Nevertheless, they are dying for an explanation from their former classmate.
