CH.78 Misconceptions

Deku POV

"So, what did you need to see me for, All Might?" I rushed him so I could hurry back in with Kacchan. I mean we were kind of in an important conversation as well.

He coughs into his fist before coming out with the great news. "Congratulations, Young Midoriya! You got an internship and it's with one of the top group of dancers in America, too!"

My face lit up in excitement. "Oh, really?! This is amazing! I can't wait to tell my mom and Kacchan all about it!" I rock my feet back and forth ready to go back as soon as possible.

He stops me and slightly leans forward in a pre-apology "Wait! There's bad news, also."

I stopped at a sudden halt in my tracks to turn back around. I nervously rubbed the back of neck. Bad news? What could possibly be so bad about this?

"I'm extremely sorry to hit you with this out of nowhere but, you are required to go tonight. As of now before your flight takes off in a few hours."

"W-What?! Why now-?! So sudden at that..."

"We have no time. You have to make this choice here and now. If you can't, we'll gladly do it for you." Endeavor suddenly steps in intruding on our private conversation. Is he involved, too?

"I-I can't do that! This can't possibly be my only opportunity." I understand I can be dense at times but, I'm not a complete oblivious idiot. "For personal reasons... I think I'll have to decline."

"We really hope you have a change of heart, not just for your sake, that is." He steps forward petting my soft, fluffy, green, hair. "Imagine how your mother would feel. Imagine how Young Bakugo would feel. They want what's best for you."

I decline in a head shake once again. This isn't what I want, what so ever. However, I contemplated the thought. Would mom be disappointed I didn't take this on after all my hard work? Would Kacchan be angry I threw this all away for his sake? I stood there obviously mumbling my thoughts out loud.

"Let me talk with Kacchan first."

"No, we don't have time. We need to get going now. If you decide to turn this down, you'll ruin any future plans you'll have and I'll make sure of that." Endeavor hissed at me, scolding in strict tone.

I squeeze my fist into a tight ball as I became more anxious. Why am I so indecisive? This is just too much at once and its becoming all too overwhelming.

"He'll be proud of you, Midoriya." All Might lied through his white toothy smile. I'm in such a vulnerable state now, anyone and anything can manipulate my feelings. Still, can I really trust All Might? Should I just go with my gut feeling and wait to see what happens.

"I'm- I'm sorry. I just can't leave this place, this is home to me...the people here are home to me..." I play with my fingers till I heard a grunting noise.

"Che, you dare to throw it away just like that? You really are a useless brat." Endeavor scoffs as he gives up and grips my wrist. I attempted to pull away to no avail. Yes, I was afraid to no end but, I just can't leave! "You have no choice. Come with us now or your dancing career is over." I squeezed my eyelids shut as my muscles tensed, refusing to come to this realization.

"Young Midoriya, it's here and now. Decide."

I bit down in my tongue and was finally able to access my hand away. "Sniff, fine, whatever you win." I didn't mean this by heart, though. Every step I took away from the building gave me a digging pain in my chest. Don't get me wrong, I attempted at running to Kacchan, however; the bigger men out done me saying it was 'for the better' and 'for my own good.'
