Baby Deku

My boy (19)

I cross the street with my hands shoved in the long pocket of my hoodie. My left sleeve was cold and wet from my blood but I was completely numb to it. I look around to see if I can see All might anywhere but he was nowhere to be see.

I sight and check the time. "8:02, I'm not that late but where is he?" I mumbled.

"He's right here."

I heard a soft familiar voice behind me. I smile and turn around. We both have huge smiles on our faces. I slowly walk towards him and he embraces me into a tight hug.

"Hey dad..." I chuckled.

"Hey son..."

I could feel All Mights breath against my neck. I could tell he was overwhelmed with all his emotions. I pull back from my hug and smile at him. He nods his head softly and we begin walking side by side with our hands in our pockets.

We talk and talk about the most random things having a good time enjoying this time for ourselves when All Might suddenly stops.

"I know you probably don't want to talk about this but...I just have to ask. Why do you smell of blood? Have you cut yourself again?"

I could hear the pain in All Might's. It hurt me too. I slowly roll up my left sleve to showy bloodied bandages. All Might's eyes widened. I could barely see his mouth movements but he definitely gasped. His skinny arms reached out and grabbed onto my bloody arm. He held it towards him not knowing what to do. He sighed and let my hand go pulling me into a hug.

"Izuku...tell me, what's wrong."

His tone was sincere. His hug was warm and truthful. This was something I haven't felt in a long time. I felt my eyes burn burn, my vision was starting to get a bit blurry.

"Forgive me for what I am about to say..."

I grab tightly onto All Might's shirt and bury my eyes into his shoulder staining his clothes with my tears but he didn't seem to mind. He just combed my hair with his fingers holding me securely.

After I let all my emotions out and seemed to calm down, I told what I had been keeping bottled up inside me. I explained what the league did to me, what I felt, how I felt, what people have been telling me to feel. All of it. When I was done I braced myself for the response I knew was coming. Or what I thought was coming.

Before I knew it, All Might wrapped me I to a big hug and this time, it was his tears that were staining my shirt. I was confused and shocked. But for some reason my heart was hurting. But not in a bad way. It was hurting...because I felt...happy, relived.

"Oh my boy! It's okay that you feeling the way you feel. They treated you as a normal boy. As part of their family. They loved you. You loved them. I'll be the first to say. You didn't really experience that here with us so...so to you, of course it would feel normal."

When I heard All Might's response, my heart throbbed. He was the one and only person to say that. To even think that. To even agree with with me. Or even accept my feelings.

I gulped on my saliva that was clogged in my throat. My eyes burned and watered. I tried to speak but nothing came out.

"My boy...my poor boy... let it out."
All Might hugged me tighter and rubbed my back. I opened my mouth once again but this time my voice was able to escape. A scream of pain and sadness escape my throat. I sobbed so hard that it hurt. He head throbbed and my throat ached. My nose started to get clogged making me start to choke a bit. After a while I was able to breath again but I was still cringing and I clung to All Might as if my life depended on it.

After we had both came down from our overwhelming emotions we pulled apart from our death gripping hug. I reached to wipe my tears and my nose. I wiped my nose but All Migt beat me to my tears. He wiped my tears then his. He gave me a nice warm smile and helped me up.

"Come on, you need to  go back to the dorms. We'll see each other tomorrow okay."

I nod and we walk side by side back to the dorms. When we arrived Present Mic was already waiting for me but he was in somewhat casual attire. For one his hair was down, he didn't have his sunglasses on, he had a plain white shirt and some leather pants. He seemed tired and annoyed.

"Oh hey Mic, what are you doing here?" Asked All Might as he rested his hand on my shoulder.

"Shota told me to come and pick up freckles here. Now that he is here, come on and let's go, I've got some business to finish up." He explained impatiently giving me a sarcastic smile.

"Ohhhh, I really think you guys should be doing that with the kids here." All Might chuckled making Mic scoff.

"It's not what you think moron. Come on Izuku." He reached for me and I walked towards him. I turned around and smiled at All Might. 

"Bye dad~" I teased

"Goodnight problem child~" All Might chuckled and then went on his way.

I looked up at Present Mic who was clearly not amused.

"Alright, alright, I'll get going. Oh, don't be too loud. We students need 7-8 of sleep to be focused for school tomorrow." I laughed out softly and ran towards the dorms.

"Its not what you think!" Mic groaned and chased after me.

I giggled at my frustrated teacher and arrived at the front doors of the dorms. We entered and went our separate way.

"Get some sleep okay problem child."

"Okay, good night sensei."

"Goodnight Izuku."

I entered my room and just let my body drop on my bed. As soon as I landed on my bed I shoved my face in my pillows. Just like that I was drifting off into a good night's sleep.
