A Faint Light

After Exams

Deku's POV

   The car rides end, and we head into the apartment. And I smell Katsudon. Wow, did she cook this while I was gone.

"Well, I hope you like the food, so let's dig in!" She replies cheerfully.

     This is the best food I've had in awhile. I don't feel guilty eating it. Sooo, good. After I was finished my cell phone started ringing again. Who could it be? Well, only one way to find out. My mom looks over from across the table. I give her the one moment gesture. 

"Hello?"

"Heya Izuku! I didn't know when to call, since I wasn't sure if you were done with the test or not. How do you think it went?"

Oh it's Tomura. Wait...I don't remember giving him the day of the test. What a nice surprise, maybe he looked it up.

"Hi !!!! The test was something else, though I think I did pretty okay. I think I might have a shot you know!"

"Well that's good! I know you can do! Anything else happen today besides the test?"

"My mom made Katsudon, we'll probably have a lot of left overs do you want some???"

"Well I can't refuse your moms cooking, if you would!"

"Totally, I can bring it to you right now if you want!"

"Okay, I'll meet you at that beach that used to be full of trash! See you in a bit!"

Click.

"Who was that honey?" she asks me. 

"Oh...It was just Kachan!" I lie. 

She smiles, and I pack some left overs in a neat little box.

Tomura's POV

       This is just grand, he took the test anyways. I mean I did support him, I shouldn't have. I feel like I'm missing something. There is something about our relationship that seem abnormal.  Hummm...I should ask someone on the street what I'm trying to convey the words for . Izuku normally knows what I'm feeling when I ask him, but I don't want to ask for this. Got ya, your are perfect for answering this. I head up to a poor looking fella. Don't worry your luck will chage soon. Any wrong answers and I'll find you again later...

"Oi, Mister got a minute? I need an answer to a question."

"Ehhh.. Don...n't....hurt..me," he squirmed. 

"Don't worry, It's simple. I just need to know what I'm trying to get at."

"Eh...okay. I guess a few minutes won't hurt."

Good answer!

"So... tell me, I have a friend, he's four years younger than me. Anyway, I've always supported his dreams, but I don't think his recent choices are the right choices. How should I convey this to him?"

"Well, can you tell me more about your relationship with him?

"Eh....Well I'm always comforting him, and he comes to me for advice. I go to him for advice too, but it's not like a lover deal."

"It sounds like your friend, is like a brother to you, perhaps a little brother."

Huh...that makes sense. I just nod. Tch... How come I didn't think of that, your definitely dying later. For making me feel so dumb. 

"I used to have a sister, due to unfortunate circumstances she died. Well, I'm off."

He looked relived, don't worry I'll wipe that off your face later, for now, I don't want to remember her.

      So, Izuku is my little brother. I see it all makes sense now. He is a very special person to me, no wonder. Wait, I can use this to my advantage. I can advise him, and he might actually listen to me. Wait...he always listens to me. This is perfect. A large smile creeps across my face, I can feel my lips crack. Well... Izuku, I know now how to get you on my side. Don't worry, I'll set you free, from your hope. I'll replace it.

I've made it!

Deku's POV

    I've made it to the beach area, carrying a tied up bag with some leftover katsudon. I see his pale blue hair, slightly flow due to the light breeze. 

"Tomura!!!!!!!!" I say smiling as I run up to him. A rock...Yikes, I'm starting to trip.

*sound of being caught (sorry guys I'm horrible with sound effects)*

I look up to see I'm being held up by Tomura! He saved the katsudon and me. I get back up on my feet.

"My Hero ! You saved me and the katsudon!" I replied cheerfully.

For a second he looked mad, that I called him a hero. Maybe I'm just imagining it.

"Oh... haha, thank's Izuku!" he said cheerfully?

"Here's the katsudon I promised!" I say handing him the food.

"Thank-you! So...I do hate to bring this up! But, what will you do if you don't get accepted?" he asks.

    I freeze up. Huh...why would he say that? Maybe he's mad I called him a hero. Well, I guess I have to accept that possibility. But I don't think I could. I honestly don't know. I'd be pretty hurt, if I didn't get in.

"I honestly don't know, Tomura...I'd be pretty crushed if I didn't get into the school. I think I'd have to accept the reality that my dream of being a hero would vanish for certain this time." I reply, I am a little heartbroken he would ask this.

"I see, don't worry Izuku there is more to life than that school if you don't get in! I'm still rooting for you, but if anything else happens, I've got something else in mind for you.  Sorry but I gotta bounce. I have some plans today, forgive my rudeness." he says.

I'm kind of taken aback. He's acting kind of weird. Something else? What does he mean? I think he's mad at me, I shouldn't press it. 

"Okay!! See you next time!" I say, as he walks off in another direction.

     He was acting kind of strange today, what was that all about. I don't think he wants me to get into U.A. But I still have to try. I know I'll be a great hero one day, well I'll try. I should get home. Don't worry Tomura, I won't become a fake hero. I'll be a worthy hero.
