Izuku's POV
Mr. Aizawa nods to the door, and I sigh yet again. "Okay, Okay, I get it. I'm not welcome here anymore. so sad."
He smirks and shakes his head. "Just go, ya little turd."
I smile and walk out of their house, going to my car. I open the door and get in, turning it on, then driving away.
I turn music on, so I don't fall asleep, and sing the lyrics softly.
My phone buzzes, so I look down, and Todo is texting me. It simply says he's glad that I'm going home, since I looked so tired, and Shinsou has shown them a song he's writing called "Love". Seems good.
I reply back to him when I stop at a sign, then quickly go back home.
I park and walk in, mom looking at me surprised when I do. "I thought you weren't coming home till later."
I shrug. "I thought so too, but Mr. Aizawa insisted that I leave, since I look so tired."
She looks at me and hums. "I've noticed it too, love. You've been overworking yourself. You need some sleep."
I just sleepily nod my head and go to my room. "Yeah, I know. I'll go to bed. Love you."
She smiles softly and says, "Okay. That's good. Love you too."
She turns back to her show, so I walk over to my room and close the door. I change out of my regular clothes into some pajamas, then get in bed. By this point, it's already nine, so I'm really tired. I just hope I'll do fine on my tests tomorrow.
I turn off my lamp and wiggle around my bed to get comfortable. But nothing works.
I sigh and lift up my phone, which is on my bed charging, and go to Spotify to play some music, so I can hopefully go to sleep.
That doesn't work, so I sigh and turn on my lamp again, sitting up. I unplug my phone and go on it. Nothing's interesting.
I look over at my desk and see my notebook. I do a bunch of stuff in there. Write down random things I see. Write about people's voices. Write random lyrics I think of for Shin and Tsu. I wrote my song in there.
I go over to it and pick it and a pencil up, going back to my bed.
What could I write? I think about everything that's going on lately, but the first thing to pop into my mind is Kacchan.
I sigh and open my notebook to the next blank page and try to think of lyrics... Why is this so har- Oh! I got one!
"They're once was a bittersweet man, and they called him lemon boy..." I say as I write. "He was growing in my garden, and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed..."
I hum as I think of more, and my face lights up when I think of something. "But like weeds do he only cane and grew back again... So I figured this time I might as well let him be.
"Lemon boy and me started to get along together. I helped him plant his seeds and we mow the lawn in bad weather. It's actually pretty easy being nice to a butter boy like him, so I got myself a Citrus friend... That'll make a good chorus.
"But soon his bitter sweet started to rub off on me. You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat. I found out that my friend are more the savory type. And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie..."
My eyes tear up, but I quickly wipe them away. What am I even thinking writing this? Who are my "friend" Shoto? Of course he wouldn't want to compromise on a "lemon pie"... God, I'm such an idiot.
I close my book and throw it to the side. I feel a tear run down my cheek, and I don't even know why.
Stop crying, dummy, I say to myself, so I do. I'm just like that. That made no sense...
I look at my notebook, and purse my lips slightly. I pick it back up and start to write again.
"So lemon boy and me, we just gotta get along together. I'll help him paint his seeds, and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather. It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him, so I got myself a Citrus friend.
"...But What if I run out of fertilizer... what if the clouds run out of rain? What if lemon boy won't grow no longer? What if beaches dry of sugar cane..."
I stop writing and think again. What am I writing? Is this a song about me choosing Kacchan over Todoroki... no. I love Shoto. I couldn't ever leave him. I don't want to. I like Kacchan too though...
I sniffle a bit and go back to writing. "Oh, well. The whales start to beach themselves. Tortoise shells tear away form their spines. It happens all the time, it happens all the time.
"Lemon boy and I, we're gonna live forever like Snufkin and Little My; we'll get around wherever. It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him... Cause we're the bitterest boys in town. Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around."
I sigh, and write my last few lyrics. "And now I got..." my voice cracks. "Myself... a Citrus friend."
I cry a little bit, and I sigh out of frustration. "Why am I even crying?!" I close my book and set it to the side. "I don't even have a tune for this..."
I think I'm just crying because I'm so exhausted. I mean, it was a sentimental song, but it wasn't enough for me to cry... I mean, I think so...?
I go to my phone and turn in on. It's already 10:30... How long was I writing? It's didn't even feel that long at all. I mean, if kinda did. But not much.
I just need to go to bed already...
So I turn off my lamp, and make sure the only noise going on is my fan, and I go to sleep.
