My Number One Hero-(All Might/ Toshinori Yagi) Book 3

33

10 days passed since I left Toshinori with the kids and next week was the day that I was surprise him to show him how much I love him. But within these 10 days I realized how much I missed the kids and training Bakugo.

But this was for the best.

Even when I teach classes, I would always notice Toshinori standing outside the room just watching me with sadness in his eyes. I knew he wanted to say something to me or wanted to talk to me, but he was respecting my wishes to stay away from me until the concert and that was something I appreciated.

That's why I know that the concert was going to be something he would have never expected.

"Any questions?" I asked the general studies class as they all shot up their hands causing me to laugh and point at them one by one and answer them.

But right now....I just needed to stay focus and take him off my mind. For right now...and the next seven days, I need to stop replaying memories of him in my head. I need to stop thinking about all of the good times I had together. I need to stop torturing myself with thoughts of him.

The more I think about him, the more I am hurting myself, the more I'm cracking my heart.

Sure, it's not easy doing this, especially with the extra distance making many things unachievable. Of course, these things could get complicated, and I could get sad and lonely sometimes.

I did have a heart to heart with Aizawa about it and with his tough love I got an earful. However, that's just on one side of the spectrum.

On the other side, the extra distance makes the simplest things the most precious, such as being able to hold each other when we see each other, having coffee together in the morning while looking in each other's eyes, or taking a stroll together while holding hands during our lunch breaks, playing with our kids, and watching our own love story with our child. All these very small and common actions could suddenly mean the world in our relationship right now.

But Toshinori, you need to know...If you constantly look to the actions of others, you rarely act like yourself. Your values and behavior have a harder time aligning, making you unhappy and empty and that is something I knew would have deterred me from you.

"Any Questions?" I asked.

"Um...Beloved, can you explain the direction blood flows through from the heart?" Eijiro said while scratching his head.

"Sure," I replied, "As the  beats, it pumps blood through a system of blood vessels, called the circulatory system. The vessels are elastic, muscular tubes that carry blood to every part of the body.Blood is essential. In addition to carrying fresh oxygen from the  and  to your body's tissues, it also takes the body's waste products, including , away from the tissues. This is necessary to sustain life and promote the health of all the body's tissues. Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium of the heart. As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve. When the ventricle is full, the tricuspid valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atria while the ventricle contracts. As the ventricle contracts, blood leaves the heart through the pulmonic valve, into the pulmonary artery and to the lungs where it is oxygenated. Note that oxygen-poor or CO2 containing blood goes through the pulmonary artery to the lungs where CO2 is exchanged for O2. The pulmonary vein empties oxygen-rich blood from the lungs into the left atrium of the heart. As the left atrium contracts, blood flows from your left atrium into your left ventricle through the open mitral valve. When the left ventricle is full, the mitral valve shuts. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atrium while the ventricle contracts. As the ventricle contracts, oxygen-enriched blood leaves the heart through the aortic valve, into the aorta and to the arteries and eventually into veins to complete the blood circulation in your body, do you understand now?"

"ITS LIKE SHE IS A LIVING ENCYCLOPEDIA!" Mineta yelled out while clawing at his head.

Kaminari was giving that look like his brain had short-circuit.

"And from there the blood travels through the pulmonic valve, it enters your lungs. This is called the pulmonary circulation, right?" Bakugo asked.

"That's correct my little pupil!" I cheered while the whole class just looked at Bakugo out of shocked. It was quite amazing how much of an influence I had on him.

"Dude, I can't believe that you are so good at this!" Eijiro praised, "Is she teaching you this while you guys train?"

"Hn!" Bakugo yelled.

That got me to laugh, "Nope, Bakugo actually studies this subject really well. His grade is quite close to Yaoyorozu in this subject."

"WHAT!" Everyone including Yaoyorozu yelled and then turned their attention towards Bakugo while he ignored them and took notes from the board. But in typical Bakugo fashion, he blew up.

"WOULD YOU ASSHOLES STOP LOOKING AT ME AND PAY GOD DAMN ATTENTION!" Bakugo yelled.

Soon it went from dead silence to laughter causing Bakugo to even yell some more.

Soon the bell rang and I grabbed my things.

"By guys, and study hard!" I said while waving off at them and leaving the classroom.

They were a great bunch of students and I actually enjoy teaching them since they always asked so much questions and was amazed as to how I knew so much.

"Um...Hana...?"

I stopped and continued looking forward. I knew who called me and I couldn't interact with him...until next week. He knew it...so why was he calling me?

"Um...uh...I am not sure if I could ask Aizawa this though I don't even know why I need to speak to Aizawa to get to you since he knows and the world knows that you're my girlfriend but I need more milk for the twins."

The moment those last words left Toshinori's mouth, my face suddenly kissed pink like a spring rose, the blooming color so cute against my skin.

"U-Um...sure, y-you can come with me to my o-office," I stuttered as I began to walked towards the direction of my office with Toshinori following right beside me. It was awkward being near him...especially since it felt like I had revered back to my teen self around him.

"So...how is everything?" Toshinori asked, trying to start small talk.

"G-good."

I opened the door and allowed for Toshinori in. I closed the door and walked over to my desk and opened the mini-fridge and pulled out two containers and gave it towards Toshinori to take.

"This should last you until the end of the week," I answered.

"T-Thank you," Toshinori replied as took the containers out of your hand, brushing his hands against mine. And from the look in his eyes, it was intentional.

"I guess, have a good one..." I said as I walked towards the door to open it for him only to have him grab my arm to stop me from walking towards it, "Toshino-"

His lips quickly locked with mine. His kiss is not at all the same as those other time when we were together, but one steeped in a passion that ignites. It is the promise of realness, of the primal desire that lives in us all. And with it he tells me that he is awake, connected within, that he misses me.

But from this kiss i could tell that this distance was more than me trying to prove my love for him...this distance was merely a path in our adventure, to discover who we are without each other's constant presence. To trust that we are strong enough to fight anything that tries to push us apart.
