(BNHA) The Path He Chooses Book 2: Scary Pasts

Chapter 7: Rei Todoroki (Part 3)

A/N: Hey, I'm finally back and I need to clarify something, A few of you probably read a quick oneshot I uploaded of Izuku and Mt.Lady. Just wanna say that I deleted it, mainly because It wasn't good and was pretty rushed. Also, I was sick so I just wrote it to keep my mind off of being sick. I don't even remember what it was about even though it was like 1,500 words long. Also, some people saw this chapter early since I accidentally published it.

ONTO THE CHAPTER!

It was 6 PM, the sky was starting to dim as the effect of summer started to kick in. Our hero in training was currently on his way to a certain psychiatric ward to walk his mother home. She was currently working late tonight since it was Saturday.

It's not like he had anything better to do. As much as he loved researching quirks and learning more about his own quirk, it eventually got tiring, and he liked to take breaks every now and then. Most people would call or text their friends if they were bored, but Izuku couldn't do this. Well, he could, but his anxiety wouldn't let him do that.

His nature would automatically make him think that he was being a bother, therefore, he never asked any of his friends for their numbers so he could text them, god knows he wasn't confident enough for that.

As he arrived at the ward, he couldn't help but think about when he visited Shoto's mother. He was honestly surprised that Shoto would ask him to visit her, he didn't think he did anything special that would cause Shoto to ask that of him. He opened the double doors to the ward and walked to the front desk.

"Oh hello Izuku, are you here to walk your mother home again today?" The receptionist asked.

Izuku nodded. "Yes, is she done with her shift yet?"

"Not yet, unfortunately, she is still taking care of a patient, she should be done in about 1 hour."

1 hour?! Had he really come that early? Well, that didn't matter, he could kill time somehow. Actually, he wondered if he would be allowed to visit Rei.

"O-Oh, well could I visit R-Rei-san until her shift is over?" Izuku asked.

"Sure, I've seen you come here with her son so that should be fine. Do you remember where her room is?"

"Yes, thank you." He said, already down the hall.

He hoped he wasn't intruding, and that she wasn't asleep, that would be pretty awkward. He slowly opened the door to her room. The light was on, and she had a small fan on a desk that was blowing, it made her white hair blow past her face over and over again.

She was reading a book, her grey eyes glued to it. She had yet to become aware of his presence, and he just stood in the doorway, staring at her smooth and pale skin. He didn't even notice he'd been staring at her for 2 minutes before she finally noticed him.

"Huh?" She noticed him. "Oh! Midoriya-san? Why didn't you say anything when you came in?" She questioned, breaking him out of his stupor.

"O-Oh, sorry R-Rei-san."

"It's fine Midoriya. So, what are you doing here today?"

"W-Well, my mother works here but I accidentally came early so I-I decided to v-visit...you." Izuku said, his face slowly getting redder and redder.

"That's fine, feel free to visit me whenever you want."

They talked about each other for a while, and Izuku discovered that Rei is pretty interesting. Once the topic of conversation switched to quirks, she showed him her quirk by asking for a handshake, then freezing his hand over. It was pretty funny and Izuku's hand was shaking for at least 20 minutes after that.
