Midoriya Izuku has taken a shower after meeting Misaka to get his shoes fixed. His hair was slightly wet, but still, small droplets of water had fallen on top of the metal suitcase with the red ribbon attracted onto it while holding a red envelope.

With his shaky hands, he removes the enveloped to the side to read afterward. He unclips the locks with a swift of his thumbs pushing down, with a click popping it slightly open. He takes a deep breath and opens the lid to reveal two gloves identical to his current gloves, but with different features.

He could feel something heavy weighing on his chest, as his eyes immediately landed on the other suitcase only to open it hastily to reveal two red-colored shoes with feature details that he could pick up.

His vision gets blurred with tears and instantly remembers your guys' conversations months ago.

"Do you mean shock absorbing equipment?" You tilted your head in questions when he was in his rambles episodes.

"Yeah! Like maybe filtering the wind force of my punches or kicks would help the equipment to last longest" Midoriya moved his hands around rapidly but you understood every word he was saying.

"It would protect your bones and muscles, knowing you break a bone once in a while." You thought which protest from Midoriya by your side comment.

"You remember." He softly touches the feature of the trademark of his hero sign carved onto the side of the shoes to the gloves. He could see how much time you put into this and made sure it would be comfortable as possible without restraining his moves.

He reaches over to the enveloped to read open gently trying not to tear the envelope. He wonders what the letter holds. He knows this was supposed to be his gift as a celebration of their anniversary.

Happy Anniversary!

I hope you enjoy the new equipment I created for you, hopefully it will help you get closer to archiving your dream.

They are just custom to your size and comfort, hopefully I got it everything correct, do let me know if it isn't right.

I hope you enjoy your logo on your shoes. ❤️

Every time, you need some reassurance why to continue fighting to stay alive to look at your costume.

Remember you have a mother and a mentor to come to at the end of the day,

your costume presenting your mother's love and support,

as your gloves and shoes presenting the presence of your mentor, All Might be helping you through your journey.

I may not be there every step of the way since we are taking different paths of careers, but we always find time to be together in our busy schedules.

A lot of love,

[Your Signature]

The letter crumbles in his grasp with tears running down on his cheeks to fall on the piece of paper that caused him to get a wave of a roller coaster of his feelings that he is going through.

He grasps onto his shirt off his shirt to only fist it against his chest. The memories of you scolding him for being so reckless and giving him a better version of his custom from before every single time. You work your butt off to always give him the best quality that you could do with anyone to do that. You care about him and you prove that through your inventions. You always deliver it with a smile on your face.

He gets reminded by Misaka words, "Take them and think would someone go through deep ends to create something so accurate for your liking and safety if they didn't care about you."

He could see how much work you put into his shoes and gloves that would be added to the suit that you would have made for him for the Invention event. The blueprint of what his costume would have looked like before this incident even happened.

The effort.

The amount of time you took to plan this suit for him and create the equipment.

The care.

The heavyweight of the guilt of not believing you or hearing you out was burying him whole. It was eating him alive.

He doesn't know what to do!

His tearful green eyes land on a picture of his mother smiling at the camera with him on her mother's birthday.

"Honey, you can come to me for anything at any time." His mother's voice echoes through his mother.

Perhaps his mother could give him advice on how to fix this big mess.

Once he recollects himself, he puts on the gadgets you created and an opportunity to try them out just like Misaka had suggested, before opening the side door of his balcony to jump off. He could feel the lightweight of the shoes compared to his previous ones where you could feel the heavyweight of his boots every time he jumps or walks.

He needed to get some fresh air and think about what he could do.

He does realize how comfortable gadgets are and filter the air out from the impact when he lands similar to what he had talked about to you.

Midoriya realized how blinded he was and didn't see what was in front of him.

A loyal trustful partner.

Believing into the rumors that [Name] was just using him when in reality,

They cared about him and his well being.

As time flies, the light blue sky becomes overwhelmed with the darkness of the night.

From the distance could be seen as a green-haired teen walking through the dorm building covered with filth mixed with sweat.

There was less tension on his shoulders as if the heavyweight he was holding vanish.

The heartfelt talk with his mother helps him to think through how he should proceed from here and forward. He was thankful for his mother to give him advice. He knows All might isn't the best person to ask advice along feeling awkward due to the relation to [Name]. He knows that All might and [Name] don't have the best father and child relationship but is getting better over time.

He just needs to figure out how to get in contact with you, since he broke his phone while jumping and running on top of buildings.

Meanwhile, in the dorm kitchen, a certain duo was hanging out there eating a quick snack before hitting the showers after a long day of training and hard work.

"What's up with you and [Nickname] ?" Kirishima asks his best friend who gave him a dirty look but continues to eat his sandwich leaning over the bar counter.

"Do you have a crush on them or something? The way you defend them ever since this dram-." Kirishima was lighthearted chuckling before looking at Bakugou who was giving him an annoyed glare to shut up which caused him to choke on his sandwich.

Bakugou hastily pushes a water bottle in front of the redhead, who immediately drinks to get rid of the struck food on his throat. He was hitting his chest, before speaking up. "Do you?"

"Why you fucking care? It's none of your business." The explosive quirk user splats out to him and only glances over to the hall where he thought he has seen some kind of movement at his corner of his eye.

Kirishima leans into Bakugou's space and stares at him which makes the other male growl at him.

"You aren't declining it." He gives him a teasing smile.

He backs away and gives the other male his space back with a soft smile. "So you did catch feelings for them when you helped them with their other projects. I mean I wouldn't blame you. They are an amazing inventor, matching with a great personality. I am not saying this, because I am dating their best friend but I have met them and know who they are."

Bakugou doesn't say anything for a few moments and throws his trash away. "If I did, it's not a crime. It wasn't planned."

In the hallway reveals the ex of the person they are talking about leaning against the wall while eavesdropping when he caught his ex's name being mentioned. Midoriya was shocked at hearing the news but wasn't at the same time. He knows Bakugou and [Name] did work together for her other gadgets that he couldn't help her with beta testing them, previously and now working for the inventor event which he doesn't blame them for changing to a different person and respecting his personal space. He knew [Nickname] has good intentions and respected his space until he was ready to confront her to having a conversation.

He should have let her speak, before his anxiety thinking the worst things. But he has thought thoroughly speaking with his mother and traveling all the way here.

Perhaps you needed the money for something. He doesn't know about it. You don't seem to be a person of greed.

He just regrets all his actions when he reacted to the rumors adding to the gossip around the school didn't help. He let his own emotions cloud his rational thinking.

He sneaks off the hallway as quiet as possible.

How does he even approach you?

What does he even say to you?

Midoriya scratches his head while heading to his room to get some clean clothes and head to the showers.
