Quirkless Isn't Hopeless (Complete)

Ballads For The Broken Hero And Lonely Heroine

"Ne, Izuku?"

"Yeah, Momo?"

"I know it's cheesy but what's your favorite moment of well, us?"

"Hm..."

"Mine would probably be today even though it was horrible at first... Or... That day you let me unwrap your bandages. Yeah, definitely one of those two."

"... Actually, mine would have to be that day... When I saw you playing the piano."

"Oh, I haven't thought about that for a while."

"Yeah, but we talked about it, um, before the first time, when we were studying? Y-You said, adorable."

"That's right, we did. We laughed about it, as well, before we... I think I have my happiest days with you."

And she squeezed the hand interlocked around hers, snuggling closer to him.

And he squeezed back.

Izuku yawned. He barely got any sleep after yesterday and now here he was waiting for the train. He was just too tired to use his air trek today. They had planned to meet up for karaoke.

His eyelids lowered, drowsy. He rubbed his eyes and blinked hard a few time to try and wake himself up. The cars rustled by with that buzz playing in the background. Through that noise, he heard shoes shuffling over sidewalk gravel. He glanced his head over to the sound. His eyes widened slightly even with the heavy lids. "You're kidding me." He mumbled quietly.

Tsuyu, Uraraka, and Hatsume were walking along happily. "Oh, Deku!" Uraraka waved noticing him. They all stopped, reaching him. They greeted each other like usual. Midoriya and Tsuyu still had that out of natural vibe. He tried to not let it affect him.

"Hatsume, I didn't think you'd want to come?" He smiled at her, pleasantly surprised at her appearance. She felt like the friend by his corner right now, not like Tsuyu anymore. Or Uraraka.

She didn't hesitate to grab his wrist and drag him away. "Don't mind us, just have to talk about important equipment." Hatsume excused.

"Yeah, sure." Uraraka was slightly confused but ignored it, starting a conversation with Tsuyu.

"Hm, H-Hatsume? What's up?" After they were out of earshot and she let him go.

"What happened last night?!" Her voice was mixed with concern and curiosity. "You're readings were fluctuating at ridiculous amounts even though you weren't using your gear. Your GPS marker wasn't moving either."

He rose an eyebrow confused, taking in the info. "W-Wait a minute, h-how do you know that? D-Don't worry nothing happened but how do you know?"

"Your gear has always been synced to my laptop. Hey, don't change the subject, I was w-" She stopped herself before rushing it out, "Worried."

Izuku was staring down with wide eyes. "Don't worry it was nothing, I promise." He voiced out dry. 'Has-, has she always known about me and Momo?'

She seemed to buy into his words but noticed his drained physical state. "Okay, so how were my babies?!" She disregarded the earlier conversation.

"Eh? Oh, they were amazing! H-Hey now you're changing the subject!"

"Great we can do a proper analysis at the workshop on Monday!" She spun on the heels of her shoes about to head back.

"W-Wait a minute, Hatsume." He reached out. He bit his bottom lip before asking. "A-About the GPS marker, er, where I go every night with the air gear-"
