last letter

Parting words

She was feeling exhausted, she could barely move and wanted to get some well-deserved sleep. It was already a week from the war and she still couldn't believe that all that happened in her first year. She thought that maybe was better if she dropped all this wannabe hero career and focused in something less dangerous. Most of the first year will surely be traumatized from their experience and she was one of them. The only thing that made her a bit better was to be reunited with her parents due the hero students' families protection policy. Walking around the school she noticed that some students still didn't came back, they were the problem trio of class 1-A (or so she heard Aizawa-sensei call them while talking with Kan-sensei), unknown to her just one of them wasn't back in that moment.

She jumped in her bed, ready to sleep, while pulling herself under the cover, like that she noticed something hard in her pillow, she started sweating, what if Mineta went inside her room? She was uncertain and after a bit she decided to see what was that strange feeling, she raised her hand under her pillow and found an envelope.

How did this letter managed to get under her bed? She was about to freak out when she opened it summoning all her strength left from the day and her decreasing courage.

Dear Itsuka,

Sorry if I call you by your name but I don't know when I will have a chance again to try. As I felt that I shouldn't keep a secret from my classmates I can't keeping this, especially from you. So, leaving a letter I am about to tell you all the truth. My power wasn't mine in the beginning, my quirk is called One for All and I worked hard for inhered it from All Might. It's a special power. Shigaraki and All for One (the villain from Kamino) are trying to go after me to seize it. Before that happens, I must leave. This is what I have written all of my classmates but I have to tell you more. This power has a strange story and keeps the conscience of his past user. I am the ninth older and the black tendrils from the conjoint exercise was the quirk of the fifth, as you would have already understood with that brilliant mind of yours, I am about to complete it by unlocking the powers of my predecessors. It all sounds crazy, trust me I know, but there is more. In the beginning I was quirkless and I unlocked my first stage of the quirk at the entrance exam. After that as you know I went ahead by breaking my bones over and over again, I reached the point to where I almost lost my arms, but you know what had me keep pushing? You. I know, I know, it sounds strange since we don't talk much and we are in different classes but let the words do their work. Reaching my dream to help anybody that needs help was a huge factor in deciding to keep pushing, but your smile was working even better.

I saw you during in the halls while going in class the third day and I was immediately captivated from your hair and your beautiful teal eyes, every time at lunch I would put myself in the way to see you laughing with your classmates. Then came the first encounter with the villains and inside my head there were only two thoughts: "Save them and come back to her". It's funny since to realize a crush like that, being quiekless I never had the chance to even try to have a relationship and so I chikened out so many times that I came to the point to write this letter... God is awful, I was so happy when I understood that you were interning with Uwabami, knowing that you wouldn't get in danger, and I feel like a creep to have seen that spot so many times, it helped every time I broke a bone to remember why I keep pushing. To see you smile. I later on heard the voices of you and Testutestu but I never lost my hope to make the world a better place for you (I have also lied to my friends that I voted for Hado-san for the beauty peageant, I know is a small thing but that was my first lie.)

I don't know when I will be able to come back or if I will be able to. I just wanted to say to you that I love you.

Sincerely,

Izuku Midoriya.

Itsuka Kendo was shocked, and couldn't belive what she had read. She started crying while clinging to the letter and said: "Please come back safe."
