Chapter Forty Seven - Enough

Shoto POV

I woke up as I usually did in the mornings. I turned on my side to see if (F/n) was still here, but I greeted by an empty bed. It wasn't strange for (F/n) to be up before me so I didn't think much of it. I sat up and yawn while stretching my limps.

I checked under my bed to see if my present for her was still there. I had to find a better hiding spot for it, especially since she started sleeping with me again. It wasn't much, it was the first positive article about her framed.

I know it's been hard for her ever since everyone tried to paint her as a murderer when the altercation between her and her father encountered each other at training camp, but she has done good and people have recognized it.

I remember when it first came back and she was so excited about it. I'd never seen her so excited about anything before that.

~*Flashback*~

I picked her up from home the morning of the final exams. It was also the morning after her conference. "You ready to go?" I asked her. She nodded. We said goodbye to everyone which at the time was Mr. Aizawa, his parents, and (F/n)'s mother. We exited her house.

She laced hands with me and I had my coffee in my other hand.

We talked about the conference yesterday. Everyone has been saying she was amazing, for once she believed them. While walking down the streets, the glances we got were softer and not as judgmental. (F/n) got almost no hostile looks from anyone.

Ten minutes in, she was rejuvenated and lively... well as lively as a stone could get.

"That's what coffee does to you." I commented, noticing her change in behavior.

"That's weird... when you take something it changes your behavior and condition." She said.

"Obviously you haven't heard of coffee, drugs, or medicine." I said.

"Not until you brought it up just now."

I smiled gently. I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into me. I brought her face to ear and planted kisses on her ear. She smiled at my behavior. "You are so cute." I told her. She is the cutest thing to walk this planet. I showered her with kisses completely unashamed.

Her phone dinged and I stopped. She pulled it out to see what was happening. It was the news app giving her a notification. She opened the article to see.

"(F/n) Chizome Takes Japan by Storm With a Heartfelt Speech"

Her eyes gleamed while reading the title of the article. "They like me..." She said in disbelief, "They finally me." Only a smile appeared on her face. It may have been small but it was the purest thing I had ever seen.

~*End of Flashback *~

I smiled softly at the wrapped present. I put it in my closet and hid it using my clothes. I got ready for school and went downstairs where everyone else was. I looked around for (F/n) and didn't find her.

"Has anyone seen (F/n)?" I asked. Usually by now, I'd see her. This is strange.

Everyone denied, no on has yet seen (F/n). Still, it was no reason to freak out. Everyone started walking to the U.A building in their usual groups. I decided to walk alone, I wasn't really in the mood to talk to anyone.
