Twenty One

÷÷÷

I locked my dorm room, and I couldn't hold back my tears anymore.

"Deku?"

I turned to face Kacchan, rubbing my eyes. God, why do I have to be such a crybaby?

"Deku, what the fuck is going on?! Why are you..." he trailed off as my phone buzzed, and I looked over at the message.

Unknown
Where are you? Remember I told you not to tell anyone.

I picked my phone up and quickly texted back a lie.

Izuku Midoriya
No, I'm just packing my bags. I'll be there soon.

Unkown
Alright.

"What the fuck?" Kacchan asked, I squeaked realizing he had been reading over my shoulder.

"What the hell is going on Deku?!" He exclaimed. I was starting to regret this.

"I-I..." I gulped, "I'm moving... far away... c-can you help me pack?..."

It took him a moment to process what I had said, before starting to yell.

"YOU'RE WHAT?!" He yelled, shaking my shoulders. I quickly backed off, and turned to start packing my things while nodding.

"Y-yeah... he didn't want me to tell anyone though..."

"Hold on, now, right now?!"

"Mhm... I'm meeting him outside."

"Well- where are you moving?!" Kacchan grabbed my wrist to stop me from packing. I tried to pull it away, but he had an iron grip on me. I blushed slightly.

"I-I don't know, Kacchan let go of me I need to pack..."

"Like hell you do! What makes you think I'm letting some fucking stranger take you away from us?! Where are you even moving?!"

"I don't know!" I snapped, "All she told me was that I'm transferring to Shiketsu!"

He was silent for a moment.

"That's on the opposite side of the country!" He exclaimed, I nodded, and tried to pull my wrist away again. He didn't loosen his grip, in fact it got tighter. I winced.

"Let go of me... I need to pack..." I said quietly. His grip loosened, and I pulled away.

"I'll try to keep in contact with everyone," I promised, "we can call each other, and do video calls..."

"But we aren't ever going to actually see each other again, are we?" Kacchan's voice was laced with bitterness, and I shook my head.

"No, probably not..."

"Who even is that?..."

I was silent for a moment. I had trouble believing it myself, but...

"He says he's my biological father, apparently the Vettels sold me to him... he knows everything about me Kacchan, my birthday, age, appearance... I'm scared of what'll happen if I don't go..."

Kacchan hugged me, which was unexpected. But I hugged him back.

"I'm going with you then," he said, "I don't give a fuck about what he says."

For once I smiled a little, and nodded.

"Alright... I'm sure he'll understand, if he really is my dad..."

Things were quiet, and Kacchan helped me pack my bags. I was about to drop my bags out the window, when Kacchan stopped me.

"Hey, D- Izuku? There's... something I want to tell you... before you go."

He sounded hesitant. I became worried.

"Is everything okay Kacchan?"

"What? Y-yeah, of course, just..."

He stopped, a small blush growing on his cheeks. Needless to say, I was confused.

"Oh fuck it," he said suddenly.

Kacchan grabbed the collar of my shirt and pressed his lips against mine, shocking me. My eyes widened, but I slowly relaxed into the kiss, kissing back and wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Midoriya, there's a stranger outside who- oh, um..."

I quickly pulled away, covering my mouth and blushing madly. Todoroki stared at us.

"WHAT THE FUCK HALF'N HALF?! DIDN'T YOU EVER LEARN TO KNOCK?!" Kacchan yelled.

"H-How did you..."

"I always have a lockpick on me, just in case." Ellie peeked in through the doorway, "By the way, we heard everything. You two suck at being quiet."

I rubbed my eyes, which were still a bit puffy and red from crying earlier.

"I don't want you to move Deku~kun!" Uraraka exclaimed after a long silence, bursting into tears while Tsu comforted her. Iida kept cleaning his glasses, since they kept fogging up for some reason. Kara and Pearl were sniffling, while Tara held tissues for them. Ellie was comforting her sister.

Even Todoroki looked sad.

"D-Don't cry Uraraka!" I exclaimed quickly, "W-we can still call each other and stuff..."

She nodded, still sniffling. Tsu smiled sadly at me.

After we said goodbyes, Kacchan and I went outside.

"Hey nerd?"

"Yeah Kacchan?"

"I love you."

I blushed.

"I... love you too... I'm glad you were there to help me when I needed it."

"Nerd?"

"Hm?"

"Can I kiss you again?"

I blushed even more, and looked up at him.

"Y-Yeah, go ahead."

Kacchan didn't even waste a second before grabbing my collar again and pulling me up, smashing his lips against mine. I kissed back, and we stayed like that for what seemed like forever until we had to breathe.

"...wow..." was all I could say. Kacchan smirked.

"Come on, text me when you arrive at the new place, got it?"

I nodded, smiling at him, and walked outside with my bags.

"Ready to go?" Hisashi asked, I nodded. He helped me put my stuff in the car, and got in.

He seemed friendly enough.

Then again, so had the Vettels.

"So... my guess is the plan of not telling anybody didn't work out?" He asked.

"How could you tell?" I asked, looking up confused.

"The group of kids outside waving and yelling at us."

I looking behind me, and sure enough all my friends were waving at us.

"Call us soon, okay?!" Uraraka asked.

"Yo old man! Hurt him and I'll fucking kill you!" Kacchan yelled.

"I second that." Todoroki stated.

"Hint taken!" Hisashi rolled the window down and called to them, and Ellie snickered.

"We'll hold group calls on Discord, kay?!" She called. I nodded.

"Have fun at Shiketsu!" Iida exclaimed.

"Shiketsu?" Todoroki asked.

"Bye!" I waved to them, and Hisashi started driving.

After a couple hours, my phone buzzed.

Katsuki Bakugo
Love you nerd <3 If that old man hurts you at all let me know, got it? Don't wait five years like before.

Izuku Midoriya
Alright Kacchan, love you too :)

"Who are you talking to?" Hisashi asked.

"My f-" I stopped abruptly. Could I call Kacchan my friend still?

I mean, friends don't exactly kiss each other and tell each other they love them in non platonic ways...

"Your?..." Hisashi glanced at me.

"His name is Kacchan," I said finally. I would ask Kacchan about our official title later.

My phone buzzed again.

All Might
I just found out your leaving. If you ever need help with your quirk give me a call, and I'll come over!

Izuku Midoriya
Alright! Thanks All Might!

My phone buzzed again.

Ellie_T has added Deku and KingExplosionMurder1 to the chat.

Uravity: Geez Bakugo, your username is long.

KingExplosionMurder1: stfu Round Face.

Deku: Hi!

Pearl_T: Hey Midoriya.

Shoto: Oh, Midoriya, I forgot to tell you I have a friend at Shiketsu. I told him about you. He says he's excited to meet you.

TK: You have friends outside of us?

KK: Tara that's rude!

TK: Sorry, just didn't take him to be the social type.

Shoto: We met at the entrance exams. He transferred to Shiketsu last minute though.

Deku: Alright! Thank you Todoroki ^-^

Froppy: Where are you right now Midoriya?

Deku: Just left Hosu.

Ingenium: Hosu huh?

Pikachu: Damn, I be late ;-;

RedRiot: Don't be like that Kami!

I just chatted with my friends the entire trip, occasionally engaging in a conversation with Hisashi. As nice as he was...

I wanted to know where he had been when Mom died.

"Hey, Hisashi?"

"Yeah?"

"This is kind of sudden, but if you are my dad, where were you when Mama died?"

He tensed up, not responding right away.

"I was in America at the time for work. My job has me traveling a lot... but I recently switched to a more grounded one here. I didn't think you would want me to be around only some of the time and not all the time, especially when I heard you had been adopted..."

"How did you find me then?"

"I was in Canada the same time you were. I saw you and the short magenta haired girl together. I almost approached you too, but you were busy. After that, I met your teacher, and he told me about you, and... and what the Vettels were doing to you..."

I nodded.

We ended up staying at a few hotels, since the drive was a long one. When we arrived, he helped me get unpacked.

It's been a year since then, and I've started going to Shiketsu. Everyone there is really nice, though I mostly hang out with Inasa Yorashi, who's the friend that Todoroki was talking about, and Camie Utushima, who was the first person to approach me. She's... a little strange, but really nice.

Today is the day of the Provisional Licensing exam, and I'm stoked.
