No Strings Attached

Kye's Plan

"Your drawings speak quite loudly." Aizawa muttered in an impressed tone as he was looking at another one of Midoriya's submissions for his showing. His drawings spoke his feelings very clearly and Aizawa was officially impressed. He couldn't help but wonder what had changed in his mind to produce raw, beautiful drawings.

"I'm trying to express more feelings other than numb." Midoriya responded with a nervous chuckle, which is true. He still felt numb at least half the time, but he was also starting to feel many emotions that he hadn't felt in years.

"Well, since you are all caught up with me.." Aizawa muttered as he slid the drawing in with his other one. "You can skip classes tomorrow."

"Thank you sir." Midoriya said with a bow. "I appreciate it." He said as the bell rang, signaling the end of the day once more.

"I'll see you on Monday then. Try to get another one done over your extended weekend." Aizawa suggested as students began to pile into the hallways. Midoriya only nodded in reply as he watched the other students rush down the hall, eager for the sweet release of classes. His appointment time today was right after his last class had ended. So instead of rushing outside with everyone else, he turned for the small medical wing where his therapists office was located. It was only down a flight of stairs and past the lunch area, so it didn't take him long to reach it all. As usual, he was met by a room cold enough to he a morgue.

"Hello Midoriya!" The receptionists greeted with a smile as he shut the door behind him. "You can head on back." She said with a smile as she gestured towards the door. The freckled man gave her a small nod as he quickly walked down the short hallway. He wasn't having a great day, so he just wanted to get it over with.

"Hey kiddo!" Kye greeted with a wide smile as the green haired man entered the room. Midoriya didn't say anything as he shut the door behind him, signaling he really didn't want to be here today. His depression and anxiety have been fighting with each other all day and he felt like he was drowning. "Rough day?" Kye questioned as he watched his patient dig through his school bag.

"My anxiety and depression have been at war all day and unfortunately, my brain is the battle field." Midoriya informed as he found what he was looking for. He quickly handed the small notebook to Kye before taking a seat in his usual spot.

"How about we start off by telling me about your day this time." Kye suggested as he set the notebook down on the table.

"Today? Nothing eventful. Had lunch with Todoroki, turned in my sheet music to Mic and submitted another drawing today." He said with a shrug.

"Don't shrug at something like that!" Kye scolded with a smile. "You have been doing a lot more when it comes to school recently and it isn't going unnoticed."

"What do you mean by that?" Midoriya questioned in confusion as he sunk into his chair, hoping it would swallow him whole.

"Your teachers are impressed by your recent actions. Mic actually asked me to bring something up with you to see if your anxiety would allow it." Kye mentioned as he picked up the small notebook.

"What?" Midoriya questioned in an intrigued voice.

"How would you feel about performing six songs for the UAE admissions board?" He asked with a smirk. Midoriya's eyes widened. The way Bakugo had explained it, his focus was mainly drawing his art. So why the sudden interest in his music? "He really liked your song Antidote, even though he hasn't heard you perform it yet. He was shocked when you turned in a full song and he wants to see what you are capable of." He said with a smile. Kye was thrilled when Mic had talked to him. He wanted Midoriya to realize he was more talented than he gave himself credit for. He wanted him to realize he would excell at UAE.
