Another Chance (My Hero Academia)

Chapter 23

*Riki's POV*

"What? So you're just faking everything?"

I sighed and leaned back on my roof. It was 2am and my father was out on patrol, so I did whatever the fuck I wanted to.

Exams were over.
My dad asked that question.
The class tried to ask me about why I had some of their quirks.
They realized I wasn't in the mood after I made spiked walls form around me.
My dad said that he upset me by pushing me to talk about something I didn't want to to talk about.
Kirishima scolded him, saying it wasn't very manly of him to do that.
I've been hearing that stupid question on repeat ever since, making me distant and cold.
Aizawa's obviously noticed and even got the teachers to try and help but it didn't.

I hated it.
I hated that he was right.
I do fake everything.
At least that's what I believe.
I feel like I'm a machine, a spy out in the world to get their job done and walk away in the end.

I've always lied to move on with my life, but in all honesty, it doesn't work. My father's tried to press on into my past when I was younger but it never turned out well. He's tried here and there but that one question ruined it for me.

And he knows it.

I'm not dumb. I know my father and he obviously figured out that what he said was not a good thing to say about me. I have no clue what could be going through his head right now, but all I know is that he realized he shouldn't have asked that question. He will find out one day. They all will. They will all leave me and I'll be on my own again. After all, who would stay?

I shook my head, ignoring these thoughts.

It's not time. Not yet.

I looked up at the stars, wondering how the fuck people named all this. They looked like dots to me, sometimes they would show me what the world sees but I never really paid attention. I just stared at the beauty they held.

"I feel sadness" I heard and I flinched

"You know, I still forget we have telepathy." I responded

"Me too. Why are you sad? Who am I killing?"

I chuckled, "No one. Aizawa just said something he shouldn't have."

"Which is?"

"Yesterday we did our exams and I showed everyone that I could steal quirks. Down the line of our conversation, he asked me if I was faking everything."

"Damn, that's tough. Isn't he your father?"

"The one you almost killed? Yes"

"I didn't know!"

"Obviously"

"Sorry for making my Nomu hurt you"

"It's fine. It was a nice fight...well other than the fact I couldn't go full Nomu on his ass."

"You would've killed him instantly"

"I know. That's the fun part"

"Have you and Aizawa made up?"
