Part 34
I huff. "As soon as that huge thing of ice almost crushed me, that was when I felt myself going insane. I didn't think to withdraw, cause I was too stubborn to admit that I couldn't win because I was losing control. Though, the insanity inside me seemed to want to provoked him. It was unintentional. The entire time after that, I tried to use ways of fighting and not kill him, but it was getting too hard, so I just held out until I felt myself nearly lose complete control, and told him to finish me. So he did. And here we are."
All Might sighed and scratched the back of his head. "Well, I-....I guess there isn't really anything that we can do about it. No one got too hurt, and no one suspects anything about you so far. But hey, you made it this far into the competition, and by holding back and using restraint, I'm proud of you. Though I'm upset it lead you to nearly getting killed, it's not something to get angry over now. What's done is done. Get some rest kid. Try to join the class before the awarding ceremony okay?" I nodded and hugged him. He hugged me back tightly and let go, transforming back and made his way outside. Now it was just me and Izuku.
He was sitting on the side of my bed looking down at the floor, balling the bed sheets in his hands. His whole body was tense and rigid. "Izuku-?"
"-I wish you wouldn't have done that." His voice was stern yet sad. I wanted to say something back but knew I shouldn't, he was worried for me after all. "You could have died today, no matter how strong you are." He looked at me. His eyes holding a worried anger in them. "What if you were just a few more feet to the left huh? Then you would have your head impaled on a spear of ice and we wouldn't be having this conversation right now!" He yelled. Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked away with a broken smile and the saddest look I've never seen before.
"I don't know what I would do If you were suddenly gone. You mean so much to me." As the tears finally fall, his words hit my chest like a hammer and nail each time. Without a word, I grab his shoulders and pull him towards me. He wraps his arms around my back and cries on the tank-top I finally noticed that I had on. It was burnt at the bottom up. Basically making it a crop-top now. The last fire blast must have burned off most of it. We fall to the side and lay on the bed as we both calm each other down. My heart slows down and his crying stops. The entire time, I play with his his hair as he rests his head on my chest. After a few minutes we both get up hand in hand, and walk out the door. Immediately, we were stopped by Recovery Girl, she smiles at our hands tightly clasped together.
"Ah, young love." She giggles at our red faces. "Your injures are mostly healed now. What's left is that gash on your leg, which is now just a flesh wound, but don't stress it now. I can heal it completely in two days. You two head along now." She shoos us off with her cane.
We smile, "Yes ma'am." then walk off towards the stands but the classes seem to all leave out their stand doors.
"Ah, guys!" Kaminari ran up to us. "You guys are just on time. Katsuki won the last round, so now it's time for the award ceremony." He leads us to were the other classes are going. When everything was set, I was pulled out of the class to receive my award.
Then there we were, standing on the pedestals with our rewards. I had 3rd place, Todoroki had 2nd place, and Katsuki of course had 1st, while confined and bound in restraints. I was told by Midnight that he didn't want it because Todoroki didn't use his flame part of his quirk on him like he did on Izuku and I, so he thinks it's sort of unworthy....to put it lightly.
As we are given the awards and are congratulated by All Might, he ends the games as we get our pictures taken and watched by many cameras. Confetti fell from everywhere. As I watched in amazement, my gaze falls from the brightly colored skies down to the crowd in front of me, I catch a glimpse of my friends, along with my green haired boyfriend, cheering for us. Though of all the things they have faced today, they still smiled and cheered with genuinely happy smiles. I started to tear up a bit, but smiled through it anyways, and waved.
'I'm so glad to be blessed with a second chance.'

I sat in bed watching t.v the next morning when All Might came in with takeout food in his hands.
"Takeout at 10 am?" I grin.
He shrugs and places it on the edge of the bed. "I didn't want to cook this morning, and I thought you would rather have this than ramen and the regular burnt breakfast food I make every morning."
I open the bags with joy written all over my face. "And you would be right." He laughs. I pull his arm and pull him to sit next to me on the bed. "Eat with me. We can watch t.v together." He huffed, knocking off his slippers and sat cross legged right next to me as we opened our food.
"What are you watching?"
"The simpsons."
"Really? That's awesome. I haven't watched that show in years."
"Well, now is your time to catch up, it's a marathon today." As we watched and ate, we laughed and joked the entire time.
"You're as dumb as they are." I laugh.
"Yeah? Well they're as funny as you look." He retorts. I laugh so hard I start to snort. I fell back onto the ground in surprise while in a fit of laughter. Toshi just laughs harder as I still struggle to get up with tears in my eyes from laughing too much.
Later on in the day, we agreed to record it and save it for later. He helps me set up in my bed so I don't hurt my injured leg, though I told him I was fine, he persisted. When he left the room, I got a call from Izuku. He explained to me that during a battle, something bad happened to Iida's brother. That explains why he wasn't there at the award ceremony. He was given no information on who it was who attacked his brother or how it happened, so there wasn't much for me to go off of.
"I'm just worried," I hear him sigh, "He hasn't replied to my messages since yesterday. I really want to be there for him, but I'm still a bit unsure."
"Well, his brother is in the hospital, so he's probably still there to look over him. He's going through a lot with his family, so I wouldn't worry about it. Who ever did that to him will get what's coming to them, and Iida will jump back to normal when his brother is okay. We just have to keep an eye on him when he comes to school. Okay?"
"Yeah, you're right.....wel...other than that, how's your leg been?"
"Ah, it's been fine. Recovery Girl will heal it completely tomorrow morning before school. I should be fine by the time class starts, so I'll see you then."
"Alright, I'm just glad you're okay. Get your rest okay? I love you." My heart skipped a beat when he said that.
"I-I love you t-too." We hung up. I could feel my face burning still, even as my heart races, I think it'll be awhile until I get use to him saying that.
With his blushing freckled face and innocent smile stuck in my head, I lay back and head to sleep.
(Time Skip)
The next morning, I get ready for the day, put on my uniform, and walk to the living room. To my surprise, Toshi wasn't sitting on the couch drinking coffee like he usually is. I was about to call out his name until I saw a note on the dinner table with my favorite drink next to it. I drank it as I read the note.
'Dear Young Y/n,
I have to go early for an emergency at the other end of town,
but I should be back a little after school starts!
So you will have to trek to school without me,
Even though it isn't even a block away, BE ON THE LOOKOUT!!
You don't know what villains have up their sleeves~
See ya later~'
~Love, All Might ♥
I hummed and just left the apartment. I decided to take the stairs down, but strangely, there were no teachers.
"Oh snap, I must be late then." I groan and pick up the pace a little. When I finally got out of the building and onto the street, it was calm and quiet with random pedestrians and students from other schools walking here and there. I wasn't even half way until I felt like I was being stared at. Looking around, I spot across the street, a group of girls and guys wearing another school uniform staring at me oddly. Immediately when I turned to look at them, their eyes almost bugged out of their heads and screamed.
I was going to assume they were scared off me until one of them yelled out loud, "It's the 3rd place winner from the U. A Sports Festival!!" Then everyone on the street, from students to random adults, whipped around and looked to where the student was pointing. Now all eyes are on me. A roar emits from the street as they realize it was me, and stampeded my way.
I start to sweat. "Oh shit."
