"Is it difficult?"

"I... I don't know. I mean most days I can handle it. I even like working on everyone's suits to support you guys... But then, there are days when this feeling of, I don't know, it's heavy and scary, but it comes out smothering me, a-and... and it just gets so hard."

"I see."

"Hey, Yui?"

"Hm?"

"Thanks for, um, thanks for listening."

"I can't close my ears."

"Haha, I guess that makes sense. Yui, if you want you can also... I mean I know you're not the talkative type, but if you ever need it, er, like you said, I can't close my ears."

"No, thank you. I prefer hearing you ramble. Your chest vibrates and it's comfortable for resting my head."

"Haha, I guess that makes sense too... You're more talkative when we're alone, you know."

"Am I?"

"Yeah."

"Izuku?"

"Yeah?"

"Everyday?"

...

"Everyday."

Izuku had wide eyes of shock. "How? How is this possible?"

He was currently sitting up on the air mattress he slept on. Uraraka had stayed the night because the rain was too heavy. She slept on his bed and he slept on the floor.

Uraraka was rubbing her eye, trying to get up. "H-Huh? Wha- Deku, what's wrong?"

Izuku was staring hard at his own hand, staring at himself. He slowly lifted his eyes to Uraraka.

"Uraraka, I-, I actually got a full night of sleep!"

Uraraka fell on her side, back on the bed. "Oh really, that's good to hear..." She breathed out the last words dozing back off. Until it dawned on her. She floated back upright. "That's great, Deku!"

"Y-Yeah." He went back to staring at his hand. 'I haven't been able to sleep since I lost All-Might and One-for-All...' His eyes lingered back to the energetic airhead floating inches above his bed. 'Did she... Did she have something to do with it?' His eyes began to widened and his heartbeat began to rise. 'No... No, no, no. I-It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't...' He calmed himself staring at her hard. 'I won't let myself.' Not after how much it hurt and how hard it was to get over her.

He gulped. 'I just hope nothing happened with Momo and Todoroki.'

They all said their goodbyes with Todoroki and Yaoyorozu walking side by side. He made the initial move, trying to hold the umbrella over her.

"Oh, don't mind me." She easily dismissed, stepping aside to create her own umbrella. She refused to share an umbrella with him. 'That belongs to I-Izuku..!' With her enamored mental sigh. She coughed and calmed herself.

"Yaoyorozu, if I can say something?"

"Hm, of course, Todoroki, you're one of my best friends."

He hesitated for a moment. "I've actually been hearing that a lot lately." Noticing that both Yaoyorozu and Midoriya said it in the same way.

She gave a pretend giggle that she always played in school along with that fake smile. "That makes sense. You're one of the big three, of course, people trust you."
