Chapter Twenty-Three
(I don't think anybody needs the flashbacks so I'm just going to stop putting them in)

Izuku POV
I groggily got up from the bed, happy that I only need to use one crutch now instead of two. It was easier, and I liked it. I had agreed to meet Toshi to train, and instead of flying Dad is going to drive me. Maybe.
Not if I have a say in the matter.
I got changed quickly, and soon my energy, well, just died. My shoulders sagged a little, and my pace slowed as I went down the hallway. I actually walked down the stairs for once. Once downstairs the smell of coffee floated around.
I poured a cup for myself and got a death stare from both of the already awake coffee addicts.
"Bite me." They both looked away, sipping at their coffee. Today, a cat decided to try to climb up my leg much to my surprise.
"Morning Espresso." The cat meowed back in response and as I bent down to pet him. I stood up and set my coffee on the table, bending down to pick up the soft black cat.
She meowed softly as I stroked her fur, enjoying being held. I was in a happier mood than yesterday, but when I remembered I had to train some of it faded away. Checking the time it was 8:00 am, and I decided I would leave for training earlier.
I quickly downed my coffee just to be grabbed by my shoulder.
"I'm going to drive you."
"No thanks, I can walk. I have two legs.
"Not really! One of them is useless!" Shinso yelled from the kitchen.
"Fuc* you too buddy!" There was an audible laugh from the kitchen and the happy yelling of pops saying 'no swearing'.
"Let me drive you." He rephrased his statement into a nicer way of saying it but I still declined.
"I can walk. Thanks though. I have my phone if you need me." He gave up and nodded, taking Espresso from my arms. She squirmed in dads hold, wanting me to hold her instead.
Why is Espresso suddenly clingy to me?
"Bye Espresso." The cat meowed in protest, but snuggled into dads arms.
The walk to the beach was fast, and it already looks nicer with the work I had been doing. Toshi was supposed to be here in an hour, but I bet dad would text him that I was already here.
I set my crutch down and grabbed the rope that had been dangling from the sign and jumped up, left leg hanging limply as I flew upwards. I swooped down for a wooden chest, carrying it back and dropping it into the pile. I repeated this process for a while, until hearing a booming voice from the skeletal man.
"GOOD MORNING MIDORIYA!"
"Morning Toshi." I landed next to where he was standing and checked my watch. "Your here early." He nodded and smiled.
"Yes I am! I decided to come early!"
"No you didn't, dad texted you to come."
"Guilty as charged!" He put on a smile that was too happy for the bleak morning. My mood has progressed from sad and tired, then happy to emotionless, as usual if someone didn't cheer me up.
He looked to the hug pile I had already picked up. He congratulated me on it and I nodded a thanks. I flew off to pick up more, as I saw another object float up onto the beach.
D*mn the people that litter. They don't law this job any easier for me.
I continued to drag and pull other objects as Toshi cheered me on. We did this for about three hours, and I had barely broken a sweat.
"Wow Young Midoriya! You have really progressed very quickly!"
"Thanks."
"Well, I'm going to leave! Don't stay too long!" I nodded as he changed into his buff form and left.
Like hell I'll leave soon.
I flew back to the giant mounds of trash, picking them up again.
I haven't talked with Bakugo in a while. He hasn't really tried to contact me. Maybe I should try to talk to him.
I continued for a couple more hours, until I heard my phone ding.
Speak of the devil...

Bakugo: How are you nerd. Not that I care, the old hag told me to text you since I didn't talk to you before.
Midoriya: I'm fine. Lost feeling in my left leg, but I'm fiiiine.
Bakugo: Ha! Doubt you'll get into UA like that!
Midoriya: Thanks
Bakugo: The fu**ing what nerd?!
Bakugo: IM GOING TO BEAT YOUR A**
Midoriya: No thanks
Bakugo: IM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!
Midoriya: Okay then.

Third Person POV
Midoriya turned his phone ringer off and grabbed his crutch and began to walk home. It was easier to fly but he didn't. Midoriya sung a song to himself as he walked.
"Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I want to take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama,
Key Largo, Montego,
Baby why don't we go,
Jamaica
Off the Florida keys
Theres a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go
To get away from it all
Bodies in the sand,
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love
To a rhythm of a steel drum band
Way down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I want to take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama,
Key Largo, Montego,
Baby why don't we go
Ooh I want to take you down to Kokomo
We'll get there fast and we'll take it slow
That's where we want to go,
Way down in Kokomo
Martinique, That Monserrat mystique
We'll put out to sea
And we'll perfect our chemistry
By and by we will defy
A little bit of gravity-"
He cut off the song short when he reached the house. He knocked on the door when he realized he forgot his key, the door slowly opening with Shinso on the other side.
"Hi. How was training?" Midoriya walked inside and answered as Shinso shut the door.
"It was fine. I stayed longer than I should have though."
Shinso nodded and headed back upstairs with Midoriya on his heel. Shinso walked into his own room, and the other boy sneakily followed.
"So, ya wanna talk?" Shinso jumped a little and sat down.
"Sure. Why not."
Midoriya's face brightened a little as he took in a breath jumping onto the squeaking bed.
"Sooooooo I've got a boyfriend!" He faced Shinso with a newfound happiness.
"Lucky. I can't seem to get one."
"Aaaaah, so your gay too?" Midoriya teased the now blushing boy as he nodded.
"Like fathers like sons?" Shinso laughed a little at his comment.
"Yeah." He smiled barely and looked at the ceiling. "That all you wanted to brag about?" He said in a teasing tone.
"Yup!" Midoriya nodded and headed back to his room pulling out his phone and opening a game.
