The day after my birthday, the class was finally back to training. Since the Training Camp had been cut short rather abruptly, we continued to train and improve our quirks on school grounds. Every day, from 9 am to 4 pm we would train our quirks, pushing ourselves to our limits. There was hardly any time to do anything which could be considered recreational. Even after a day of training, the class was too tired to do anything other than lazing around in the lounge and hold muttered conversations. I had thanked Shoto repeatedly for his beautiful gift, I had almost had a heart attack when I found out how expensive it had been. I was almost scared to wear it, but the look of absolute adoration on his face when he saw the silver glinting on my wrist was enough to encourage me. The look in his eyes made my heart stutter in a way I was sure was detrimental to my health. That boy would be the death of me.

Aside from the training I had to undertake to improve my own quirk, I also had to train with All Might so that I could use One for All. The training was gruelling, but it seemed as though using the quirk came naturally to me. I could limit myself, activate One for All with very little thought and had managed to use up to 15% of my power. I made this progress in two very long, pain-filled weeks. My muscles ached nearly constantly. Every night when I went to bed, I let out a hum of relief, allowing my muscles to relax. Mentally preparing myself to repeat the pain the next day. Some nights, when I lay on my bed, unable to move, I couldn't help but think that me having All Might's power was only temporary. It was this gut feeling I had that sooner or later, One for All would no longer be mine.

It turns out that I would lose All Might's quirk sooner rather than later. All Might and I had been training in the small forest not too far from the main campus of UA when All Might spoke. "Izuku, what is troubling you?" All Might asked in a concerned tone of voice. I stopped kicking the tree in front of me and looked up at All Might. "What do you mean, All Might?" I asked, wiping away the sweat which was gathering on my brow. "You look all concerned as if something is on your mind." All Might said. I looked around the clearing which we were in, trying desperately not to look into All Might's eyes. "Well... I just... I don't think I'm the best person to have One for All. I just feel as though Mirio could do so much more with this quirk than I could. Plus, I can use it well but I can just tell that something is going to go awfully wrong. I have this gut feeling that if I keep this quirk, my family, friends and I will all be hurt. I don't know All Might," I looked up at my idol, tears welling up in my eyes, "Something about having this quirk just doesn't bode well with me." I whispered in a broken voice, not daring to look into All Might's eyes out of fear that I would see anger, disgust and shame. Silence reigned the clearing for a few moments, I could hear my heart pounding erratically in my ears as I waited for some sort of reaction from All Might. Without me realising, All Might had made his way over to me. I only realised that the man was in front of me when he placed his hand in my hair and ruffled it slightly. "There is no reason to be upset, Izuku. I understand perfectly. You have been through a lot and most of your gut feelings seem to come to fruition. I can not force you to keep this quirk and I do not wish to cause you any sort of discomfort. If you want to pass One for All onto Mirio, I will not stop you. I will stand by you and support your decision." All Might whispered soothingly, pulling me into a hug. I didn't hug back for a second, surprised that All Might was so accepting and that he understood. When I finally gathered my wits, I hugged All Might back with vigour.

2 days passed before we ( All Might and I) met up with Mirio and explained the situation to him. "So basically, to round everything up, All Might gave me his quirk, I accepted but recently I've been getting gut feelings that if I keep this quirk a lot of people will be in danger. You have the same ideals and goals as both All Might and I so we think that you would be the perfect candidate for One for All." I summarized for Mirio. The three of us were sat on the ground in the clearing I usually trained in, Mirio's once bemused face was beginning to morph into one of comprehension. "I think I understand. Do you normally get these gut feelings?" Mirio asked, scratching his chin thoughtfully. I nodded my head, " I get them quite a bit before major events which alter my life. I guess you could call it an animal-like instinct." I muttered. Mirio nodded before taking a deep breath through his mouth and letting it out slowly through his nose. "Ok. I agree to take on this quirk. I can see the turmoil in your eyes, and if relieving you of this quirk saves you, I'll do so readily. I want to save a million people one day and saving you is work towards my goal." Mirio said, confidence shining in his eyes. I couldn't hold myself back, I pulled Mirio into a tight hug. "Thank you." I whispered. With Mirio's confirmation that he would take One for All from me, it felt like a weight had been taken from my shoulder. The tight, coiling feeling in my gut which had been squeezing and hissing at me like a snake evaporated. All that was left was a relief and blissful happiness. "It's no problem, Izu." Mirio smiled, hugging me back.

The transferring of One for All from me to Mirio was sort of awkward. Watching as Mirio tried to choke down a strand of my curly green hair was both hilarious and awful to watch at the same time. In the end, he managed to choke the strand of hair down and the deed was done. I was no longer the holder of One for All. All Might explained to me that some remnants of the quirk would still remain in my body for a few days but after a little while it would be completely gone. I hugged Mirio again as I heaved a sigh of relief. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of the entire ordeal.

After Mirio took One for All, I could relax more. Of course, I still had unholy amounts of training to do every weekday and light training on the weekends, but without training with One for All every evening, I had more time to just relax and hang out with my friends. I still met up with All Might from time to time to train my quirk, but he had to guide Mirio so we didn't train as much. I didn't mind. I knew that by giving up One for All, I was also giving up All Might's tutelage.

"For fucks sake!" Kacchan screamed, his voice ringing through the dormitory, I could hear him from Kyoka's bedroom. Kyoka and I were finalising the details of the songs we had written together. We had written two songs and had been practising them in every bit of spare time we had. We were both extremely excited to perform this song for people. Kacchan had left the room to get us some snacks, but it seemed as if he had run into trouble. " What do you think has got him so riled up?" Kyoka asked as she strummed her base. I shrugged my shoulders, reviewing the lyrics and humming the melody of the song. "IF ONE MORE OF YOU FUCKING EXTRAS EATS MY FOOD, I'M GOING TO FIND YOU AND RIP YOUR TOUNGE OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!" Kacchan's enraged voice shouted from what sounded like the stairwell. I shared a tired look with Kyoka, we were used to Kacchan's theatrics after knowing him for so long. The mellow, calm atmosphere which Kyoka and I had made was soon disrupted when Denki, Mina and Sero came crashing into the room.

I looked up at my three classmates in surprise. The three of them had wide grins across their faces and were each holding a tub full of food. I recognised the delicious aroma coming from the Tupperware as Kacchan's famous curry. I cringed as I thought of the pain all three of them would be subjected to should Kacchan find out that they were the ones to steal his food. "You three are in so much trouble," Kyoka whispered, fear cracking her voice ever so slightly. I nodded my head rapidly, fearing for my friends' safety, "Yeah. If Kacchan finds out he's going to make good on his threat." I warned the three smiling doofuses. I saw a brief flicker of fear in their eyes before it was replaced with faux confidence. "He won't do anything to us. He loves us too much." Kaminari laughed, flipping hos non-existent long hair over his shoulder. I honestly wanted to believe him, but the look of anger on Kacchan's face when he opened the door and was stood behind the three thieves was enough for me to have my doubts. "Is that so?" Kacchan growled in a low voice. If he were a dog, I'm sure his hackles would have been raised. I shied away from the door, pushing myself further into the corner of Kyoka's bed. Mina, Kami and Sero's faces all paled dramatically. Their eyes widened comically and their grips on the curry loosened slightly. They were in for a world of pain.

After Kacchan had 'kicked those thieving bastard's asses' (as Kacchan eloquently put it), we resumed our band practice. Our stomach's content after we had eaten the curry which Kacchan had snatched back from the Bakusquad. I can see why they would want to steal it. After you'd tasted Kacchan's curry once, it was hard not to get addicted to it. It was like a drug. That's why I didn't eat it too often. That and Kacchan had a habit of making food extremely spicy. Kyoka and Kacchan lived for spicy food, but I wasn't as fond of it as they were.

When band practise ended, I bid my friends goodbye and stumbled up to my bedroom. I didn't have the energy to interact with anyone after the stressful day of training I had been through. It felt like my body was working against me and wanted me to kneel over and give in. I flopped face down on my bed, letting out a muffled groan of pain as my muscles ached. I laid like that for quite sometime before my phone buzzed on my bedside table. I groaned once again, though this time it was in annoyance, and picked up my phone. I stared at the screen and found a small smile had slipped onto my face at who had messaged me.

[Shoto]: Hey, Love. How are you? I noticed that you 
look especially tired after training today

[Me]: I'm fine Sho. You know how strenuous training can be

[Shoto]: Ok, Sweetheart, if you say so. Goodnight, don't forget to take your medication

[Me]: Night. Love you💞

[Shoto]: I love you too

I smiled at Shoto's text and rolled over to put my phone on charge. As I plugged in my phone, my eyes landed on the bottle of pills. I sighed through my nose before sitting up slightly and taking one of the pills out of the bottle. I picked up the bottle of water beside the pill bottle and threw the pill in my mouth before chugging some water to get the pill down. I let myself flop back onto my bed, waiting for the effects of the drug to take me over. Soon enough I was falling into a blissful, dreamless sleep. 

Yeah, so... I took away One for All from Izuku. When I originally gave it to him, I thought I could incorporate it and not get stressed, but it was just too much. By this point, I've already posted multiple chapters about him having One for All, so I couldn't just ignore it. I'm sorry Izuku not having the quirk seems really sudden, I just needed to get rid of it before I could stress out anymore. 

Anyway, thank you for reading chapter 15, I hope you enjoyed it. Have a wonderful day wherever you are.
