Quirkless Isn't Hopeless (Complete)

Resizing Gravity

For the first time since the memorial of All-Might was established. It was empty. The rain had kept most people indoors. Yui used this opportunity to visit it. She was walking down the lonely path, umbrella gently wrapped around her hand as she splashed on small puddles, making her way. She was using her summer vacation to at least pay tribute to the greatest hero.

Her shoes squealed at the last puddle. She let out a sigh of accomplishment. Her relaxed demeanor vanished as she stared ahead. Someone was here? Was she caught expressing emotions of joy? She focused on the person. She calmed but didn't show it, realizing that he was staring at the statue. Her eyes narrowed in on those red boots and his dark green hair. She walked up to him, not bothered by the presence of someone she was used too. She stood besides him. Their umbrellas were close enough for only a few droplets to landed in between. Drip. Drop. Drip.

"Hello."

As if barely realizing someone was there, he turned his head to her. "Yui? What are you doing here?" He only talked to her when she needed repairs or adjustments needed for her suit but they had developed a friendship of sorts.

"That was my question." Although she kept her head forward, staring at All-Might's statue with her empty orbs.

"Hehehe." With a weak laugh. "I, actually, don't know. I keep waiting for him to give me some advice..."

"Advice?"

"I know it's stupid but some part of me is still stuck in the past." His sorrowful eyes had a nostalgic glisten.

Yuu shifted her eyes to his, hearing the despair in his voice. She then completely turned to him. "Midoriya."

"Hm?" Nodding his head in her direction, slowly shifting to her.

Splash. Her umbrella hit the ground without a care. His eyes were wide. "Y-Yui?" Staring at her and her actions.

She had cupped his cheeks with both her hands lifting his downcast face, her arms outstretched, reaching for him. "He held it high."

"Huh?"

"All-Might kept his head held high no matter what." She noticed the confusion still in his eyes. She kept holding his face, staring up at his green orbs with her indifferent eyes. "Advice. You asked for some."

His breath caught itself as he stiffened. "I did, didn't I?" And her words were earnest and meaningful. His breath came out with a smile. "Thanks, Yui. You know, that's the longest I've ever heard you talk."

"Please forget." Yet, still deadpan.

He let out a chuckle, "Er, you can let go of me, now."

"Yes."

"...But you won't, huh?"

"No."

"Deku, Deku!" Uraraka happily cheered his name like always. They were walking home in the rain. They were always comfortable with each other. He was holding the umbrella while she had curled her arms around his free one. It wasn't in a romantic way or anything, simply two friends enjoying each other's company.

'At least that's how I want to see it.' Izuku was confused and slightly worried. Uraraka was always preppy and clingy but more often than not that it was to compensate for the times she ignored him but this... It felt honest. He furrowed his eyebrows not knowing how to take that in.

"Ne, Deku's off in his own head again." She pouted at his lack of response.

"Ah, s-sorry, Uraraka. I was just... er, thinking of when I'm going to be able to try my new air trek, this rain doesn't look like it will let up anytime soon." With everything's that happened, he didn't have an opportunity to use them.
