The Legendary Hero: Deku (Discontinued)

Doubt Part One

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter"- Martin Luther King Jr.

My friends...why are they inside my house, how did they get in, why are they worried. All these questions came flooding in but I couldn't form anything into words, I was in complete shock of the events that transpired in my sleep. 

"Jesus man you weren't waking up and your quirk was going wild." Said Kaminari "we didn't know what was going on so I had to use my quirk in order to make you stop but when you did you stopped moving."

"Luckily you woke up five minutes after," continued Mineta. I stared in disbelief that they were here trying to help me while I was trying to fight the helmet man. With closer inspection, I saw some things in my tiny apartment destroyed. Tiny miscellaneous items like vases, shelves, and simple notebooks on the floor. But the last picture of my mother before her death was on the ground, the frame shattered, and the photo in no better condition. "We tried stopping you before your quirk hit the photo but we weren't all that successful. We're sorry."

"No...it's not your fault," I said in a reassuring tone "you guys did your best helping me. Thank you. Let me get the first aid kit so I can help your guys with your bruises and scratches."

"ARE YOU KIDDING!" They both yelled giving Bakugo a run for his money on how loud they are.

"What," I responded in a quiet tone.

"We look cool I bet we can pick up some girls like this having battle scars." Said Karminari.

"And if we are lucky we can even get some girls to kiss our injuries away!" Mineta said in a way too excited way.

By just looking at them imagining getting kisses from girls I can almost swear I saw that very same image that they imagining. 

"Well if you want to get kissed by a girl I know just the place." 

"TAKE US THERE NOW YOU BASTARD!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"YOU LIED TO US MIDORYIA!!!" 

"I never said anything about the girl being young." While our argument was heard all around the nursing room, Recovery Girl kissed the injuries of the two dumbasses away looking more annoyed than pleased at the fact she had to come in on a Saturday.

"I may be old enough to be your grandma but I'll have you know that many people find me attractive!" Said the all-knowing grandma.

'I find that hard to believe' the boys thought in unison. 

"Thank you Recovery Girl," I said going along our way "I'll see you later this afternoon."

"Okay sonny, but we are going to have a talk...we all are."

Talk, something that I was afraid of. Every once in a while my guardians come over and have dinner with me to check up on my mental health, quirk progress, and to see if I am going down the right path of being a hero. UA believes in letting me live on my own to help with the mental stability of losing my mother instead of having her replaced by someone else but it is;t working. Apart from that, the three people that come and check up on me are; All Might my mentor and teacher, Recovery Girl my personal nurse and second mother, and Aizawa. 

"Hey, Midoryia you ok?"

 My thoughts took a detour when I heard my name to see it was Karminari that was calling for me "just not looking forward to later this afternoon."

Mineta and Kaminari both had a look of confusion but decided to ignore the comment for the time being but instead decided to ask me a question. "Listen Midoryia I know we don't have full control of your life and we can tell you what to do but-"

"We think you should apologize to Bakugo so you participate in the sports festival!" Interrupted Mineta "you are the strongest in the class and can easily win against all of us, so you need to participate."

"Yeah!" added Karminari "you can win and get all the heroes to want to intern you and show that loud obnoxious blonde that you can beat him without having to throw a sucker punch!"

"Guys..." 

"You can also show off your quirk to all the lady heroes and maybe if you're lucky you can-" continued Mineta ignoring me.

"Guys..." I said again trying to get their attention.

"You can impress Uraraka I heard she has the hots for you even after the fight!" Said Karminari.

"GUYS!" They both stopped and faced me for the first time since they knew me, even after training, the talk at the cafeteria, even after the USJ. This was the first and not the last time they saw me start to cry. To start thinking "I don't think I should be a hero anymore."

Everything seemed to stop at that moment for us, I didn't know at the time that I inspired them since the very beginning, that I was their symbol of victory. Someone that was able to beat the best because they were the best. They wanted to be someone like me.

"what are you talking about Midoryia?" Asked Karminari in a soft whisper.

"I can't be a hero, I'll just get in the way of you guys trying your hardest to become a hero and-"

With one swift punch, I was knocked towards the ground in front of the UA motto. Mineta grabbed the collar of my clothes and made me face him, "YOU WILL BECOME A HERO YOU KNOW WHY" he grabbed my head and made me face the plaque, "BECAUSE THAT SAYING TELLS YOU TO GIVE IT YOUR PLUS ULTRA!"

"Mineta, calm down we need to be calm we agreed to-" interrupted Karminari trying to calm the situation.

"NO! He needs to realize that ever since we started school he was on top of the ladder. We all saw you as competition and everyone was afraid of you to compete against you. But we all respected you Midoryia. You jump in front of Bakugo with no fear and faced his special attack to save your classmate. You fought in the USJ to save and help Easer Head, like a hero!"

"Mineta please stop-" 

"No Karminari," I finally spoke up. "I'm sorry you guys I've been a bad friend. But I think it is time I talked about something that has been bothering me for a while."
