OH MY GOODNESS! 10.9k+ READS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I honestly didn't think that I would be able to even get past 1k, but turns out a lot of you liked the story more than I had originally thought! In celebration of such a feat, I decided to give you all a little special chapter - just for you and Todoroki :> From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. I hope to keep satisfying you with the stories that I write!)

Lullaby - Creed)

You look down, staring at your shoes. You felt...useless. You realized that as the feelings strapped you down at light speed, making your heart heavy. Looking back at the door that stood in between you and Kota, you ever so gently knock on the heavy barrier. The door opens, revealing Deku, Mandalay, Pixie and Kota. You look at them with unease stirring in your eyes.

"Is..Kota alright?" you asked the pink-clad woman, who was stroking the little boy's hair.

"Kota is alright..thank you for coming to check on him." Mandalay responded, smiling at you. "You should all begin going to bed. You will have a very long day tomorrow."

"R-Right..let's go, Deku. Goodnight." you said to the women as the both of you left.

Izuku looked at you, noticing your change in attitude. You had been acting a little more strange as days passed. "Are..you okay?"

"I'm..fine, I think. It's just that..with everything that has happened to us lately, do you really think that I'm cut out to save people, Deku?" you finally said.

The green-haired boy blinked in confusion. "Of course! What made you think that?"

"I..really didn't do much during our fight with Stain..nor our practical for our final exams. All I did was unleash a few Riptides and cry..and that was it..but you guys really gave it your all. I thought I could help Kota with his Quirk, since it's similar to mine, but now I'm not so sure..he hates heroes, people becoming heroes..And..if I'm really this useless, can I teach Kota how to use his Quirk? How can I help Kota if I couldn't even help you guys..?" you breathe, voice cracking with each word.

Izuku was quiet for a moment, analyzing you and your behavior. "Can I get dressed first? We can talk in the rooms."

You nod in response and begin to walk back to the rooms. Turning around the corner, you run into Shouto.

"Oh, Bubbles. There you are.." Shouto began, but paused as he saw your expression. "What happened?" he asked softly. 

You press your forehead against his chest and sigh shakily. "I feel..bad." was all you could muster. You had been okay on the ride here, during the monster fights..but why did Kota's conflict make you think about all of this? About the feelings that you had been suppressing since the Hosu Incident?

Gripping his shirt a little, you look at him.

"This might sound a little awkward, but..can you and I sleep together tonight? I can ask to switch with whoever you're rooming.." you murmur the last part in embarrassment. 

You felt Shouto's hands on your shoulders as he held you close. "Yeah, you can..but you need to elaborate on why you feel bad. Let me help you." 

"I will." you say quietly. Hearing steps behind you, you turn to see Deku coming back.

"Are you ready to talk now, (n/n)?" Deku asked. He made eye contact with Shouto and they then looked at you. 

"I can take her from here. Thanks though." Shouto told Deku.

Deku faintly nodded his head and began to walk to his room, glancing back at you with concern. Shouto took your hand and led you to the room he was staying in. Upon opening the door, Denki blinked and looked at the both of you.
