Downward Spiral (Izuocha)

Chapter 25 Small truth revealed

Midoriya P.O.V.

I saw her from behind, sitting alone on a lonely bench, staring off into the sky and letting the cold air submerge her into a state of complete calmness. I instantly recognized her, her unmistakably brown hair, even if it was from the back, the round shape it took belonged only to her, and it captivated me for a few minutes. I had arrived early at the park, and in my trance of staring, Iida appeared behind me and touched my shoulder, bringing me back to reality from a world that was only possible in my imagination. "Hello Midoriya, it seems as if we all arrived earlier than planned." He stated as he welcomed me, accompanied by a tiny grin. That gave me an idea, I would scare her, but that was because, if Iida would have done that to me a few weeks prior, it would have totally startled me, but now it held no effect on my emotionless state, and I missed laughing, so maybe this could bring back something.

I made my way to the bench and scared her from behind, as she shit up from her sit and turned to look at me slightly irritated. My lips slightly curved upwards at the harmless prank, and I was relieved to see that she let out a sigh and gave her own small smile before she gave me a playful pout and looked at me. "Not fun Deku-kun." Iida came and agreed with Urarakas playful joke "She is right Midoriya that wasn't very nice." while doing some air chops. I started to get a bit anxious at the situation, having shot back at me until she just laughed at the robotic boy and assured it was alright. "We should head towards the other entrance, because Todoroki and Yaomomo are closer to that one, while we where closer to this one." She said, still smiling from what happened a few moments ago, that seemed to calm me down a small bit, and we headed off towards the other side of the park.

Iida decided to brake the silence on our small trip, as he asked something that, to be honest, I was also wondering since we arrived. "What will we be doing today Uraraka?" he asked, still as stiff as ever, but his attitude showed how he knew this was an out of school environment. She tilted her head, as she recollected the plans she had previously made on her head. "We will now walk to have lunch at a restaurant somewhere and then we can come back here and do whatever...." She trailed off, as if something was missing, until realization hit her and exclaimed "Oh! I also want to go to Dagobah beach, I heard someone cleaned it before we started at U.A." I flinched at that comment, as no one knew my charity work that helped me gain One for All, and I got a weird glance from both of them, until we had reached the open metalica doors opposite from the ones we came through, and there stood a bicoloured voy and girl with a spicy ponytail, all in casual clothes, even if Uraraka and I felt out of place at the sight of the high class clothes our friends had.

Uraraka P.O.V.

Iida called out for them, and they both looked back at us and waited for us to get to them. Yaomomo greeted us with her normal elegance while Todoroki just said a quiet "Hello" directed at all three of us. "Okay, no we should head that way towards the restaurant and we can have a good time together!" I beamed, mostly because our small group friend had gained two new participants, increasing the possibility of having fun, even if the ice king himself was here. As we made our way, I couldn't help but stare at Deku, still looking at his eyes and the dark circles that surrounded them from beneath, as if nothing had changed ever since we last saw each other, even if it was only two days. "Deku-kun, are you still training?" I asked, intrigued by his appearance, as I didn't really want to ask that, but he understood perfectly. "Y-yes, and I am trying to catch up on sleep, but it is more difficult than I thought" he said, scratching the back of his head with another fake smile, one that only I seemed to notice.

"Also Midoriya, do you happen to know who cleaned Dagobah beach?, you acted strangely when Uraraka mentioned it". It was now Iida's turn to do the questioning, and now everyone's attention was on him, he stuttered for a while, until he sighed, accepting defeat and stated "Dagobah beach is where I go to train and where I can think about what I can. I cleaned it for ten months before U.A. as I needed to have a specific muscle mass to awaken my quirk and wanted to do something good." We all stared  wide eyes at him, as if he just had revealed the secret to one of the most asked questions. Truth was, no one knew who did it, but they were all grateful for returning the beach to it's past glory. He gulped and asked "W-what?" as if he was fearing what our response to the massive truth he just laid upon us. But I remembered his words, and decided to ask to get confirmation "Wait so you still train there?"

He just stared into my eyes, losing each other for a moment, until he shook his head to snap out of it and answer while looking at the road in front of him "Yeah, it holds slot of meaning to me. If I ever want to be alone, I go there." We were still shocked, some of us realizing that this meant that he had lifted refrigerators and other heavy trash out of the beach by himself, and Yaomomo decided to break the weird atmosphere that we all felt right now. "Thank you Midoriya, it was very kind of you. I think I speak for everyone." We all nodded, as we imagined the beauty restored to the shore that we would sometimes pass by. "N-no n-need to thank me Yaoyorozu, I-it was a way for me to train." He was trying to shoot down his own accomplishment and good natured actions, but I wasn't having it this time. "Of course we need to thank you Deku, even if you gained from it, you did something a true hero would do." I stated, and a small genuine smile appeared back on his face, something that seemed like only I could bring out.

Heyoo. Is a chapter, they know that Deku is a good boy, and this is a very important place. It is where his journey for and with OFA begun, and it will also be in this fanfic, but Wattpad doesn't seem to let me upload it right now and I don't know why. Anyways, remember that you are incredible and irreplaceable. I hope you had and have a fantastic day, and I'll see you tomorrow.
