45 - Paintings

A/n: I'm so sorry I didn't upload anything yesterday! I was away from my computer the whole day and didn't get a chance to do it beforehand. Anyway, here's chapter 45! Enjoy!!

-Y/n POV-

It's been a week... One week since the hero camp was cut short. The school's been closed ever since. You had gone to the hospital on the night of the attack, and were released the next day after being given some treatment and an ointment and gauze to apply to your burns. A few days later, you had heard about a rescue mission that Momo, Midoriya, Iida, Kirishima and Todoroki had gone on in which they successfully rescued Bakugo.

Right after, All Might had fought one-on-one with a villain who called himself 'All For One'. He nearly lost... You watched the whole thing on TV with your dad, and were shocked to discover that All Might had weakened significantly and was no longer the all-powerful hero that everyone thought him to be. You didn't necessarily have any pro heroes that you've always idolized, but you still saw All Might as the symbol of peace... And now, that symbol was gone. Reduced to a skeleton of a man... The shadow of a hero that once was.

-------------------------------

The morning after All Might's battle, you received a text from Shinso, asking if he could come to your place.

"Hey, Dad!" you call out to your father from the top of the stairs.

"Yeah?"

"Could Shinso come over for a bit today?"

"... It's all right with me."

"Okay, I'll let him know! Thank you!"

"Sure thing." He didn't sound too enthusiastic when he spoke, but you figured that he was just a little bit unsure about you having a boy come over.

-------------------------------

-Shinso POV-

You couldn't help but be a bit nervous... This was your first time going over to L/n's house. As you walked, you wondered if you were dressed well enough. You'd put on a pair of nice jeans and a clean t-shirt, similar to what you wore when you went to visit her mother in the hospital. "Just relax... You already know her dad, so you should be fine. Just don't do anything stupid."

You walked up to the front door; The house was a bit more eclectic than your own... Okay, scratch that, it was very eclectic! It was a light blue color and was decorated with colorful wind chimes, and there were two chairs on the front porch that had beautiful oceanic scenes painted on them. "Her dad must've painted those himself."

You ring the doorbell and take a step back. After a couple of seconds, you hear footsteps and the door opens to reveal Mr. L/n – "NO, his name's F/n... He wants you to call him F/n." You raise your hand and wave a bit in greeting. "Hey, F/n!" He smiles when he hears the use of his first name.

"Hello, Shinso!" He sticks out his hand and you take it without thinking twice; He's an American, so you expected this sort of greeting. As soon as he has your hand in his however, he turns it over and takes a look at your knuckles. You'd taken the bandages off a couple of days ago, but they were still scabbed. "Damn... I almost didn't believe Y/n when she said that you got some bloody knuckles!"

You laugh a bit nervously. "Haha, yeah..."

After releasing your hand and letting you step inside. He shuts the door before calling up the stairs. "Y/n! Shinso's here!"

You hear her reply, "Coming!"

You take your shoes off and her father turns back to you and brings his voice down. "Hey... Is it true that you saved her?" You blush a little bit and shuffle your feet.
