broken immortal

chapter 15

Izuku's pov
I finally got over my heartbreak and started filling in my notebook adding in every little detail of Tomu that I could remember, all the way from his name to his shoes on a detailed sketch of him. The thing that hit home the most though was that I still hadn't see his face.

It had been two months since the incident at the usj, the other student from class 1-A had started to treat me less like a wild animal and more like a human and occasionally greeted me, they even started to have small conversations with me so that was weird. During that time my obsession for Tomu had only grown and I was desperately waiting for a moment to see him again but it was killing me, I had no patience or tolerance for waiting. It was so annoying.

I often had conversations with the voice about casual topics (normally about Tomu) and we've been getting on pretty well lately, we usually talk in our room, in the classroom, basically just anywhere it's not like I gave a damn about others opinions. Our most recent conversation was about whether Tomu's hair colour was natural or not and we came to the conclusion that it was most likely dyed. It was kinda sad that I was talking to myself but it just kept me sane  all this time so I didn't dismiss it. What do you think Tomu's doing now? It asked as I sat in present mic's English class. "I dunno, I'm sure he's just plotting new ways kill all might and destroy this world." I muttered to myself as kacchan gave me an aggressive stare and the student next to me rolled his eyes. I hope we see him soon. "Me too."

Sleepy-sensei announced to us that we would be doing hero work studies at hero agencys that said they wanted us after the sports festival. Me, who was a ghost for the first trials and broke my legs for the other recieved a total of 0 requests but I preferred it that way. Sleepy-sensei then told us to fill out the forms and write down the hero agency that we wanted to go to, and that those who didn't receive any requests still had to go somewhere. I then decided that I would ignore this all, go back to my room and watch the new episode of my favourite anime and so I did.

The next day Sleepy-sensei came up to me complaining about how I didn't fill it in the hero work studies form, so I played dumb but it wasn't working. I say burn the paper and go back to the room. "I really want to but I know I can't avoid this." I said to myself as Sleepy-sensei looked down at me, confused. "Just choose an agency or I'll choose one for you." He told me as he rubbed his tired eyes."and stop talking to yourself." He walked away leaving behind the paper. I  then chose to follow the voice's advice, and when I got outside I used my lighter to burn up the paper and went back to my room.

On the day that we were all about to head over to separate agencys Sleepy-sensei gave me a paper with information of where I was headed on it and he said "this is the agency your going to, your never chose so don't complain." I tiredly dragged myself over to the location, using Google maps to guide me but since I was so great at navigating, I got lost. After two hours of searching around the area I found myself at a hospital. It turned out that I was assigned to a healing hero due to the similarity of our quirks.

At some point within my time with injury tamer (his hero name), I saw both todoroki and engine thighs at the hospital, they had a few stab wounds and scrapes but other than Iida's arm (he told me his name when I straight up called him engine thighs) they were fine. They were discharged from the hospital a day early, before the hero work studies were over and I was left behind to help other patients. Within my time there I learn a few things, how to do cpr, what to do in different medical emergencies, how a defibrillator works, and how to treat more minor injuries.

When I went back to UA all my classmates were talking about their work studies and how interesting and different they were, along with what they learnt. As sat on my desk facing the window and staring off into the distance one of them actually asked me what I did and I replied "nothing much, just dealing with injuries." Until Iida burst out listing what I had done for them in the hospital and how I helped them. At that moment I felt my class status rise from the ashes of 'unwanted' and climb up to the level of 'bareable'.

Another week or so and Sleepy-sensei announces yet another joyful event for our class, he informed us that we'd be going on a class trip during the summer. After the announcement the class got so riled up that they started planning things and decided that we'd go shopping together. They asked literally everybody in the class (even me) and since I had a weirdly good feeling about it, I agreed, it felt like something amazing would happen at the mall. Maybe we'll see Tomu. "I doubt that." I quietly muttered to the voice as I felt disappointed.

It was the Saturday that we had all planned to go shopping, so I was choosing what to wear though it was quite a simple choice since I just put on an oversized dark green hoodie and black trousers. I met the rest of the class in the common room (minus kacchan, todoroki and three others) and we made our way over to the mall.

When we arrived we split off into small groups, going our separate ways, lil kirby was still with me until she called me a bug and ran off so I just stood there since I didn't have anything in mind to buy. As I stood there I felt a familiar hand slip around my neck, it was one that I had felt on my arm before. "Hi there, fancy meeting you here." I heard familiar raspy voice say joyfully. At that moment my heart and mind felt flustered, it was really him, it was really Tomu. I knew I'd see him.
