He smiles sheepishly as he walks back towards his seat. Getting back to Class 1-A, All Might splits away, and Izuku is left to face a wave of faces between shock and concern alone. He’s glad he was given anything, although they feel mostly unworn and uncomfortably tight around his toes. The shoes on his feet feel odd as he goes up the last set of stairs before his seating section. He’s still got bandages across his body, too, but the ever-so-soft twinge when he breathes deep isn’t as bothersome as the lasting damage in front of him. They’re a little crooked, with a bit of scar tissue around the joints in his middle and index fingers. The damage is less than it could’ve been, he thinks, but looking at his fingers he still swallows thickly. The words echo in his ears as he walks alongside All Might. “This is the last time I heal an injury like that.” “I won’t rush this, they can delay the festival for all I care,” she mumbles, moving around Izuku quickly as she prepares all her equipment. “This conversation can continue later!” Recovery Girl interrupts, shooing out All Might. I see it, even if everyone else here hasn’t spotted it yet.” Shouting ‘I am here’ hasn’t always saved the day either, so…” The man pauses, shining blue eyes lost in thought. “Young Midoriya… What you feel is heroic. There’s too many people out there heroes don’t help, I w-want to prove that… That there’s more, and th-that we can all help together.” The words sound wrong as they come out, addled by pain, but All Might smiles understandingly. “Th-thank you, b-but I also feel… I-I can’t just be a good hero. His smile twists into something sadder, though. You’re cut out for this, not in the Quirk, in the soul.” His finger jabs against Izuku’s chest, and he can almost feel something special under it just because All Might pointed it out. “I told you you were more heroic than anyone else. “Do you remember what I told you, the day we met?” All Might asks, the question so sudden and sure that Izuku is jarred out of his train of thought. “I-I want to be a hero, and I have to… Prove that I’m gonna save people like nobody else.” “I have to prove it, though,” Izuku urges, his brow furrowing. And even if you don’t win, you’ve certainly put on a good show.” All Might smiles at him, a warm thing despite the sharp angles of his face. “That’s… That’s alright, young Midoriya,” All Might says, stepping closer to put a hand at the side of his bed. He’s already not sure how much he can carry on. “I’m not sure I’ll be able to win at this rate.” Izuku laughs at the absurdity of his own words, arms nestled to his chest by thick bandages. “I-I’m not sure…” Izuku huffs out, waking up just enough to feel the pain starting to get to him. All Might smiles wearily when he gets Izuku’s eye.
Both of you, you’re giving an old woman a headache.” Izuku offers a beaming smile that doesn’t quite reach his eyes in response. “He’s inherited your habit of overdoing it, you know. Turning his head, he spots All Might standing a few feet away, and Recovery Girl doting by the bed. Izuku blinks, squinting at the harsh white lights above. “Now I’ll have to be careful, make sure to keep his joints and bones separate before they can be allowed to heal.” You know I told him he was lucky he didn’t hit anything? To not have totally destroyed his fingers?” Recovery girl tuts. It’s not as sluggish as it often is, but the papery sheets and the scratchy bandages all across his body tell him where he is before he even opens his eyes.
