Tick.
Tock.
Tick.
Tock.
Was she meant to be here?
Fu had found an empty room. It seemed to be a music practice room. It looked a bit run down compared to most rooms in the school so she assumed most people did not practice music in the school. The only think that the room had was a run down piano and a metronome that sullenly ticked along. She had turned it on when she got in the room. The silence in the large room was going to drive her insane if she did not. That and she hoped it helped her thought process. She had an important decision to make. Even though she had talked with Ryuga about leaving school, that was before her first real hero class. That first hero class ended in disaster. Bad things have happened at her old school but nothing as bad as puking on herself. That was another level for her. The most embarrassing moment she remembered from her old school was fainting when someone slammed her into a locker and most people really did not care about that. One of the few times her classmates from that school were concerned with her.
There was something different about U.A. though. If she would have puked at her old school, people probably would have just ignore her. After she puked and ran off after getting dismissed, one of her classmates had followed her. Daiki's word had rung in her head as she agonized over her life choices.
"Himura-chan, don't consider any other opinion than your own on this. If you don't think you know it, forward the question to your heart, not your gut. Himura-chan, do you want to be a Hero? Don't factor in if it's possible, don't factor in your family or friends, don't factor in school or academics. Don't factor in anxiety. We can work on the other things later, but for now all that matters is what your heart wants. Everyone can be a Hero, I truly believe that."
Did she want to be hero? Did she really want to be a hero? She does not know that answer and she hated herself for it. She applied and got into U.A. and was placed into 1-A. She had not even done anything of note yet in U.A. either outside of just puking over herself. Taking out her phone, she flicked through her contacts before finding Daiki.
'Hey, it's Himura. Can we talk? I'm in the music room.'
Sitting up after she texted Daiki, she opened the bag that was next to her. It was the koto that her parents sent to her. Smiling a bit, she took it out of her case and sat it in front of her. Putting on the tsume on her three of her fingers, she nodded a bit to herself. At least she can do this. With a deep breath, she started to play, her hands gliding over the strings as if they were not there.

Immediately Fu received a response. "On my way. Be there in a couple of minutes, sit tight."
Binary Star/Cage - SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]:Tielle - Cage
Daiki thought this would be a fitting song to get him calmed down. It reminded him of the girl he was going to be talking to. A person who was beat down their entire life, who has an amazing soul and an even more amazing personality. To him, it's as if she's calling for help, on the outside she's reclusive but inside she needs support. Everyone needs support, everyone needs someone to thaw their frozen dreams. In all likelihood it was after-school hours, classes having ended, clubs getting together for miscellaneous activities. He stepped down the hallway to make his room towards the place she'd asked him too. Looking into the rooms that he passed, he saw glimpses into lives. Frames of people happy, mediocre and sad. The world was fascinating, Humanity was fascinating. It was nice to see other people smiling, it warmed his heart. Nobody deserves to be left in the dark, so the fact that someone was that is within his reach is something that holds incredibly meaning to him.
He all but closed his eyes while wandering the empty halls as the track played out. He meant what he told Fu back then. If she ever needed him he would be right there for her. Everyone had a right to have someone there for them, everybody. The sick, sad, mad and outright bad. If no one else was going to step up to support Fu, he would. He wouldn't be a hypocrite to his own advice. The best foot forward every day, not letting reality control you, control your reality. It sounds fancy, but to Daiki it was a matter of putting in everything he could day in and day out. Sometimes he made an idiot of himself to make people smile or get distracted from their inner demon. Other times, like now he opened his soul to the elements to heal another. He didn't need a quirk for this act of Humanity, to share kindness. Truthfully, in an almost cheeky manner Humanity is more important than a quirk. The best Heroes can be inhumane while the worst Villains are fighting for their own definition of what it means to be Human. Some people can't find an answer within the system, so they seek to abolish it- he was getting distracted himself, at any rate.
Walking around a final corner he saw the old room. Almost a cliche, the abandoned clubroom featured in so many anime and manga. He recalled some of those cliches, the things that happened in them. He laughed to himself. Nearing the door, he'd stand outside of it quietly. His head glanced downwards to the base of the door and he just tho-... Wait a minute.
Reaching to the sides of his head, he gently tugged off his earphones, ending the track. He wasn't hearing things, no, that was coming from inside? A beautiful melody played on an underestimated instrument. Just... For a few moments he'd just lean against the wall next to the door, head resting against it as he listened. His eyes closed, and he let her play for just a little longer. It really was beautiful.
Though, he didn't want to have her think he wasn't coming. Stepping up, he gently knocked on the door before opening it.
Standing in the doorway he looked over towards Fu. "Hey, Himura-chan. You're an amazing musician, has anyone ever told you that before?"

Fu's hands glided over the strings, the sounds of the strings ringing out throughout the room. The koto was a great instrument. It created a very complex sound that could be used to make very interesting songs. Fu always loved watching professionals play. Fu was not a professional by any means but she would call herself a decent player. Her mother encouraged her learning an instrument. While she did dabble in some other instruments, such as guitar, but it was the koto that fascinated her the most. It just felt so right to play. Maybe growing up in the family that she did encouraged that. The Himura's were always on the more traditional side of things.
Daiki eventually got to the room that she was practicing in. His compliment made her turn almost tomato red. While her family and some people at competitions did compliment her abilities, it just felt different with Daiki. Maybe because he was a boy? Nah, it can't be that. She was never interested in that sort of stuff. At least she wasn't interested in her old school. It just felt odd to her. Oh well, that was not the reason she asked to speak to Daiki.
"T-thanks Satou-san..." Fu muttered, taking the tsume off her fingers. She did not want to break them on accident. It would be a bad thing if she broke the instrument that she cared so much for. Picking it up and placing it back in its case, Fu turned to Daiki. She called him here for a reason. Taking a deep breath, she started:
"I've been thinking about what you said, during class that is. Well, it really wasn't class for me at that point. Anyway...I've thought about if I want to be a hero. Honestly, if I would give you an honest answer it's probably somewhere between 'No' and 'Not Sure'. It makes me feel conflicted. I feel like I took someone's spot at 1-A that I didn't deserve."

Thinking about what Fu said, he'd walk into the room and find himself a place to rest. Ultimately what that place would be is a shoulder-prop against the slightly dusty chalkboard in the old musical room, looking towards the girl. A few thoughts went about his head, but there was only one actual answer he had for that question, to him it was obvious. So without further ado he decided to share it.
"Remember when I asked you that question? Remember carefully. However, if you can't I'll just remind you. Forget everything outside of you and your heart. That is your gut, a bad gut feeling that I can understand, but it's part of your anxiety. If that is your reason for being on the fence about Heroism, it's not valid. Valid reasons for being a Hero is literally just, wanting to do good for the world. I mean, I get some people are in it for money, but I know between you and me right here, that's not an answer on the table. Wanting to not be a Hero can be plenty of things, but they're all pulls, not pushes. Wanting to be a Writer, or a Playright. Maybe wanting to join professional sports or run a family ramen shop.
Letting your anxiety determine what you do is... Well, it's not really something you could work on, could you? All these years people have put you down, shamed you. Your family has held you to a daunting expectation that you very well may be able to meet otherwise, but with the weight of that expectation on your shoulders that goal becomes a finish line at best, doesn't it? You've never had it easy, and so instead of working to fix your anxiety, you've been having to constantly defend with the grievances of every day. The bad news is all of that happened, the good news? We're here right now, right here, today. Nobody here if they're any bit legitimately wanting to become a Hero would belittle you. I don't want to toot my horn, but we're the people with the greatest ambition to do good for the world, why make it worse? So, we can start to work on your anxiety. Your confidence, so you can see everyday is filled with opportunities, instead of being afraid for tomorrow. How does that sound?"
He asked, waiting for her response. He was sure she'd think on it for a few moments at least.

Fu stared at a particular spot as she listened to Daiki. When he was not around people, he really was a reflective individual. She never really expected it from him based on their initial meeting. To say she made a premature judgment about him would be an understatement at this point. He proved to her several times that he was not what he initially appeared to be. If she was honest with herself, she felt bad for her premature judgment. He probably got in trouble for running after her. Fu was actually curious about that. What happened after she left the class? Her sensei did not tell her much in the meeting they had. She just told Fu that she needs to step up or go home. From all the things during that meeting, that was the least terrifying.
Deciding she would ask about what happened later, she chose to absorb what he was telling her. Lying down on the ground, Fu gave off a big sigh. If she was honest with herself, she was not sure how to answer Daiki. Rather, she wondered if he was trustworthy enough. She so desperately wanted to tell him about her parents but also feared he would go around telling everyone about her insecurities.
Deciding to take a gamble, Fu started in her usual quiet voice:
"My parents were very famous heroes. They were the most famous heroes of Hokkaido at one point. When I was growing up I never had the desire to be a hero. I never was able to see my parents regularly because of their work. They often took turns spending time with me. When Ryuusei got old enough, he sorta took over for them. I knew why they didn't have time but it really left an impression on me. So when I went to school I never really considered being a hero. I was interested in other stuff. When people were asked about their dream job, most people in my class answered 'Pro-Hero'. I was one of the few who said something different. I wanted to be a koto player." She sat up and gestured at her bag that contained the instrument. Giving it a brief glance, Fu continued.
"Ryuu went off to U.A., which was just natural. He always had the drive to be a hero like my parents and wanted to follow their footsteps. I went on with Middle School in Otaru. People bullied me because of my parents and my quirk. It really strengthened my resolve to not being a hero. I hated that I was just associated with my parents. I was set on not becoming a hero. Then a few months ago..." Fu paused, knowing she was at the point of no return. She just had to say it.
"My parents got crippled doing hero work...They got paralysed. They couldn't continue working anymore. I was super emotional and against all judgement applied to U.A., took the exam, and got in. I'm not here because I wanted to be here. I'm here because I had a dumb reaction to my parents getting hurt. So, if I honestly tell you, I don't want to be a hero..."
Fu nodded to herself before laying back down, choosing to stare at the old ceiling. She finally got her feelings off her chest and it felt good.

Daiki remained leaned against the chalkboard as he listened to Fu's story. Shutting the door behind him so no one overheard, out of respect for her, he just remained quiet. It was a lot to hear, really. Not too much of course, but this was the bitter core of the problem. The knot that bound Fu to misery. If he could just find the right words to untie it, the miraculous sentence that would be the fix to everything, he'd find it. However, this isn't a world of miracles, miracles are unexplained happenings with no specific cause, but with great reward. In the real world? Miracles are people putting their everything into everyday, to become someone who can grant another a real miracle. He had to ask himself genuinely, could he grant Fu a miracle? An out to ostracizing, a bypass to bullying, some give for grief. One thing had become clear to him. The experience she's had up until UA have molded her into the person she is. Even after the bullying ended, in Daiki's mind... The biggest bully was herself. Looking at her, his gaze spoke of wisdom, however accurate or inaccurate it was.
He'd grant her a Miracle, or fail trying, but to not even try and help a harrowed soul would not be in his character. It wasn't even a question, really. Rhetorical perhaps, questioning his capability, maybe. Though if he would do that, try it? That was never a question. After he heard everything, he spoke up towards her.
"... I understand what you've gone through is tragic. The world is filled with similar stories, Humanity as a whole struggles to persevere, it is in our nature to cause each other grief, and I think that's sad. Don't you? We're born and filled with expectations beset onto us by others. Our parents want us to become this or that, to be their successor, to give them their happy ever after. I don't question the stability of your family life, I'm sure you had your ups and downs with them. Being a Hero isn't an easy job, it may come naturally sometimes, but it's never easy.
I think the root of the pain you feel isn't from now. It's from before now. A time when there was nobody to lean on, no one to be there for you. Your family instead of supporting you, expected from you. Your brother was too focused on achieving his own dream that he never wondered what yours was. Your classmates belittled you for various reasons. The reasons matter little, because if you recall what I mentioned at first, the world is filled with similar stories. Some of those kids were probably bullied themselves, and as a defense mechanism fundamentally changed to fit into a group, they acted just like the leader of their circle of their friends wanted them too. Some of those kids have terrible parental figures that actively abuse them, and besides their teachers from an academic standpoint, who do they have to learn from? The point is that people bully those they see as vulnerable, and that may sound bad, but look at it another way.
Perspective. One old man see's the nostalgia of mundane things like walking to school or being at the playground when he was a child. A young boy is bored of playing in the sandbox for the fiftieth time, and walking to school takes forever, he'd rather be done with it. The same thing applies to Vulnerability. Some see it as just that, you're vulnerable. Though could you guess another interpretation of vulnerability? An unprecedented gentleness, kindness exceeding your peers. You said you wanted to be a musician, right? What is at the core of that desire? I'm sure you enjoy the instrument, it gives you a sense of pride and belonging when you learn another song, or better yet design your own piece. However everyone has those reasons. Do you know what drives music? Passion. The best artists and musicians have a passion for their work, and that all comes down to a single reason.
They want to give to others, Himura-chan. If in the deepest depths of your heart you genuinely don't want to pursue being a Hero-" He'd air-quote, "-as a 'job', then that's okay. Have you noticed me out in the halls? I'm always listening to music. It inspires me, it helps me connect with a person I've never talked to and perhaps never will. It motivates me day to day, puts me in different moods. Music is a beautiful thing, and if you did choose to leave UA or transfer to a non-Heroics program and pursue music, you'd still be my Hero.
What I'm saying with all of this is you don't give yourself enough credit. It's not even that you don't, actually. It's that when you can, you refuse too. You've lived so long under such oppressive circumstances that you've convinced yourself that is what life has to offer. When good things are happening, you wonder why. When someone compliments you, you think they're just accommodating you, artificial, a lie, I could use various words for it. When a challenge presents itself to you, you're quick to talk yourself out of it because you've never been encouraged. You've been expected of, but never encouraged. I agree on one thing, that participating in activities and forcing yourself passed your emotions will only do damage. I'm hoping here, with what I've said, we can absolve the real problems you're having. With that being said though, there's one very important thing I need to tell you."
Daiki moved over towards Fu, sitting across from her. Attempting to just gently rest a hand on her shoulder he'd speak.
"It's okay to cry."

Fu could not hold in her tears. All the words Daiki spoke to her opened gates that Fu thought she had closed off for good. The memories of her parents missing important school events because they were busy with work. Ryuu leaving for U.A. and Fu crying almost for the rest of the day, only being calmed down by her father. Even sillier memories such as her thinking she lost her favourite plush and having a panic about it even though she was already twelve at the time. All of it just came out all at once.
Using Daiki's arm as guidance, she ended up with a tight embrace with the boy. She needed someone to cry into. Usually Mr.Seal was that but he was on her bed and she was not going to run to her room just to cry into a plush. She was not even capable of doing it to begin with. It really did not matter. Daiki was good support for her pretty long crying fit. All bad memories and negative emotions had collapsed in on her and she had no other reaction but to cry.
After a couple of minutes, Fu pulled away. Giving Daiki a sad smile, she looked out the window in front of her. The sun was starting to go down and was casting a distinct orange light into the room.
"I h-have a song I really like...It felt comforting during school. It's about finding a place that brings back the light...A new light on life." Fu muttered, tracing a circle in the air. She smiled as she imagined a little cartoon sun hanging in the air between them.
Looking at Daiki, she used her quirk for the first in a few weeks. In Daiki's head, it sounded like a soft voice singing to him.
"So take me back to Sunnyland
So I can find the light again
So take me back to Sunnyland
So I can find the light again."
Blinking, she stopped using her quirk. "I'll be a hero...I'll be a great hero..."

This was the beauty hidden under the surface of the world. The nirvana so close, but often so far. The amazing plethora of hearts and souls that make up reality. It's all under just a thin layer of fabricated society. Small talk, expectations, unexplained beliefs and unheard cries for help all lead to a shell developing under the golden glow that lies beneath that thin but ever-strong shell. This was one of those moments.
When Fu broke out into tears, it was hard for Daiki not too. To his credit he didn't, but it's not like he was fighting against it that hard. Still, tears quietly streamed down his face. Being embraced by her so she had a shoulder to cry on, he'd gently rest his hand on her back and his left hand gracefully against the back of her head to support her there. Words were a thing in the past in this moment, what Fu needed was time to get it all out. To greet and accept all of the misgivings of the past and move forward with renewed energy and passion. For that to happen it was important he didn't interrupt. Though even without speaking, he could feel her heartbeat, her his. It was an innate connection that spoke without words, as emotion influenced the paces of their hearts respectively.
That's why when Fu used her quirk for the first time around others, and perhaps the first time involving another UA student- or who knows how long before she started school, Daiki lightly smiled. Listening to the words she spoke aloud before and then the words sung from mind to mind, both had beauty to them, for different reasons. Unfettered by the errors in translation from mind to voice, the voice that entered his mind was angelic, the perfect sound, it was just right, because that's the nature of communicating telepathically like that. Then after the song she spoke another line, and that one hit him hard. In a good way, his chest tightened up as he nearly started crying himself, but gently closing his eyes for a moment he nodded, and smiling. He'd speak, but only briefly. He was under the impression forward was the way to go with this issue now, so explaining himself was of the past.
"I'm happy to hear that, Himura-chan. Happy to spend the next three years getting ready for the world alongside you. UA's a beacon of light and hope for thousands. You are that light you're looking for, it comes from your heart." He said. With that he'd shift how he was sitting, feet sole down on the floor with his elbows draped over his knees, hands clasped between his calves gently as he thought to himself.
"I was thinking about when I become a Hero, y'know, signing up for my own Hero Agency at some point. If you want..." He'd rub the back of his head, glancing to the side, "You could join me-" He glanced back, and then away again, "-if you want. Don't have to or anything." |

Futaba felt guilty. She had judged Daiki when she initially met him. He seemed so brash when he came late to class the first day. She judged him when he would not relent on her abilities. She told herself it was easy for someone like him to say to be confident and ignore her outside influences. While she still was not 100% set on what he was telling her, Fu did take his words to heart. There was a reason she started crying. All of had come out. All of the issues she had been bottling up.
And it never felt better.
From all of the negativity in her life, some self-induced, it felt nice to have someone positive around. Daiki just someone she could sense no darkness around him. Most people she had befriended at U.A. had some issues or another. Not that it was an issue. Everyone has some sort of issue in their life, some more major than others. Fu wondered what Daiki's secret was? A dead parent? A villain sibling?
That was not a concern though. Her ears perked up a bit when Daiki mentioned that he wanted to make a hero agency and wanted Fu to join him. Feeling herself blush slightly, she murmured "I-I'd love to.."
Fu went quiet for a bit, just looking at the floor. "I'm sorry for running off last class...You probably got in trouble because of me. I want to make it u-up to you.." As Fu spoke, she looked up. Her face had turned tomato red as she looked at Daiki.
"C-can I take you to l-lunch? There is t-this really c-cool cafe that is v-very old school and has some awesome tea..."

A soft smile came from Daiki, to which he'd nod after Fu asked her question.
"Of course, I'd be up for something like that. I've never really gone to a place like that before, so it'll be a nice first experience." Rubbing the back of his neck lightly. He looked off into nowhere for several moments in consideration. The light outside the window drew his attention to which he would continue answering her, and addressing her concerns.
"Not at all. I really couldn't care less, it's not about being a rebel or anything, it's about how fair that was. I was doing the right thing, and sure there's room to miss a class or two, but a student should never be denied of their education. I don't agree with how Sensei handled that. Uh- oh, right. She dismissed me from class. Don't put it on yourself, I would've done it for anyone else. It's just who I am, and nothing changes because of this.
I get there are consequences for every decision, but that can sit just fine with the burdens of the people for a true hero. I have no problem dealing with the consequences. I'm just against it being the removal of my studies. I'll just put in personal time to look up an online course as a substitute. Anyways, I'm getting carried away talking. I do that a lot, if there's one thing that is predictable with me, it's that I talk a lot."
He sighed, though it wasn't a sigh of gloom or anything, just a conclusion to speech. He'd look towards the chalkboard, then back to Fu.
"The uhm, uuh... Oh, right, agency is quite a ways away yet. I reckon it'd be smart to get some experience as a rookie before setting out for something like that. Still, I'm looking forward to it."

Fu beamed, excited at the prospects of a date. Was it a date? She assumed it was. She knew that's what her mother would call it. Oh god, she asked a boy on a date.
I mean, did I really?
You did, Futaba Himura
Did I ask the guy who I thought was going to be obnoxious, irritating, and a bully on a date?
You did
Did I really?
Yes you did, Futaba.
Ryuu-chan will be super worried. He only saw Daiki-san on the first day of class. He probably has a super bad impression of Daiki. What if he tells Dad? I know Dad will say no. I know Mom supports me but I don't if she would be too happy if I only care about dating.
Calm down, Fu-chan.
Fu sighed before moving a little closer to Daiki. Looking at him in the eyes, she gave him a very small smile. Unlike probably half the people in her school, she had focused in on some different aspects of Daiki. She wanted to know what made him tick. Why he ran after her. What made him believe what he believed. She could imagine she could have some pleasant conversations with him, especially this introspective Daiki that seemed to appear when he was alone.
"I-I'm looking forward to it." Fu said in a small voice, returning her focus on her instrument bag after blushing. Running her finger along the name sown into the bag, she whispered
"I've been taking lessons just in case I can't be a hero. If I get expelled and such. I had a meeting with sensei and I can't afford many mess ups...but if I get kicked out, please visit me in Otaru..."
And without much further, Fu leaned in a softly kissed Daiki, closing her eyes as she did. Was she in love with him? Maybe. Not because the way he looked but maybe because he was the first person to treat her like Futaba Himura, not Sora's Daughter, Ai's daughter or Ryuu's sister.

Was it... Right? Love that is, here and now. Should he try and turn her away for her own safety, or let her in? Does he do himself a favor or does he treat himself. Both choices had good and bad, the good of the first is Fu will be safe. She won't be pulled in as a potential victim for any Villains looking to get at him in the future. She'll be able to live a long life no matter what kind of life that is; well, at least she'd have a better chance of living it feeling safe. Then there was the other option, to do what his heart said and follow his voice. Do the right thing, embrace something good and beautiful- a double meaning perhaps in both the figurative and literal sense. As they exchanged their look, he found himself momentarily captivated. Eyes diverted to the side... This isn't just a small decision, this is life-changing for the both of them.
Well, hm. He rationalized with himself for the briefest of moments before coming to a conclusion. Of course! If Villains were going to target him they'd find something anyways. Heck, he played with stray cats, maybe one of them would hurt it if they stalked him around. There's also the other ancestors of All Star. Better yet- screw it all, his whole plan was to be the number one Hero, the Atlas of mythology- the man that can hold up the world. A beacon of wonder and hope, an aspiration towards peace and unity. If he couldn't protect Fu from some Villains, how could he live up to that? He couldn't, so the decision was simple put in this terms.
Daiki watched as Fu closed the invisible bridge between them for a kiss. At first it came as surprise, but in hindsight he could see the hidden boldness and courage of the girl. He'd welcome it, a hand gentle reaching out to gently rest on her cheek as the kiss met. There was no rush, worst case scenario a member of faculty overheard talking in a room that is usually otherwise unused, would walk in and see two students out of context kissing. Even if that happened, whatever. That was a lot of Daiki's life, whatevers and shrugs. It was a strong characteristic of him with how fast he could free himself of the toxic coils that can consume the minds of many, a trait he needed. Still, after their kiss he found himself reaching to just gently hug Fu, one hand resting gently on the back of her head while the other went around her back. He just remained that way when he answered her.
"Of course. If that's what you want, I'll do it. It's the least I can do to make it up to you. If I plan to protect the world, I can't protect one in debt, I'll pay it all off. All the times you were hurt, betrayed and brought down by people and surroundings. I'll make up for all of it, given time and patience. Distance can't stop that with the plans I have. On a call I'll run to you, if you need help I'll be there.
I suppose you can consider me having fallen for the woman in front of me. Despite everything you've been through, you're still such a good person, and that's something I admire about you. You stayed strong.
And that's why I love you." |

The sun light peaked into the room, casting light over the two. It was as if the sky lit up as the two sat next to each other. As Daiki embraced her, Fu closed her eyes. She felt safe. Even though it was just a conversation between the two, Daiki was someone she knew was going to be a great hero. He will be a symbol of hope for people. She had met many heroes in her day when her parents took her to the hero gatherings. Most people were in it for the fame. Fu could tell they were, especially the ones who she recognised from TV. The next group was people who were good at it and could make decent money with it. Fu did not mind that group. Her father was in that group. The last group was very rare. Her mother was the only person she had met who was like that. She was kind. Wanted to help everyone and did not care about the fame and money.
Daiki was going to be one of them. Burrowing her head into Daiki, she muttered "You're going to be a great hero Daiki. There are a lot of heroes out there. Some seek fame, some seek money. There are people, though, that will be heroes because that's what they want to be. They just want to help people because that's their calling. My mother was like that...."
Pausing, she pulled away from the hug before smiling at Daiki. "You'll be one of those heroes...I know you will. If you ever think you can't, look in there." She put her hand where his heart would be. "It will always be in there. You'll be greatest hero."

Daiki just quietly took in her words after she let go of him and pulled away. It was food for thought and reassuring. There were times where he could feel a hand on his back, another person having faith in him to push him forward. His family, some of his friends from back home and now Fu. She was just so pure and innocent, even the best people can be dark at times. Daiki was a realist but he wanted to be Atlas for the world. To stop Villainy or to at least make people safe. So Fu was a breath of fresh air. Someone who he could confide in, a kindred spirit with an unparalleled purity that isn't seen often. The glow that came into the room only helped this become a more scenic moment. His eyes drifted towards the sun, admiring what the world could be as opposed to what it is. A philosophy he's always had is moments like these no matter what the world is like it seems perfect. All you can see is nature and the galaxy in all of its beauty and you're with a great person. There's nothing wrong in moments like these, but Earth is a bigger place than that. To really have all corners of the world able to see the same sunset from a similar unobstructed view, evil needed to end. Looking back towards Fu he would answer her with the utmost honesty and compassion. Pulling his legs back so his knees could be resting spots for his elbows he clasped his right forearm with his left hand in a gentle pose, speaking to her.
"I know I will. Never once have I ever considered settling for less in life. Since as long as I could remember I just had a desire to do good. From as deep as it gets. The reason I always act so silly is to try and make people laugh. So many people in our class came here with weights holding them back, you know that best yourself. I want to let them forget that so they can focus on their schooling fully and become the best heroes they can be. So they can be their own hero just as much as anyone else's hero. A lot of 1-A came here for resolution and starting new. It's all just... In hopes of making the world a better place to live in. So that the next generation of Heroes don't have to have grim quirk marriage stories or villain parents, this or that. You know what I would love most? Being the only Hero, to take the weight off of others shoulders and to hold it all. Being a Hero can be fulfilling and rewarding but it is common knowledge that it's hard. I don't want other people to have to hurt, you know? At least in that way. Sometimes fluctuations in love and life can be a beautiful thing, but nothing about being overwhelmed with pressure is. Though I know my quirk doesn't allow me to be everywhere at once, so it is all I can do to help the people that'll become Heroes with me be the best Heroes they can be. If there's anything that sucks I suppose it would have to be the three years until I am a Hero. I know school is a necessary stepping stone and it has taught me a lot and will teach me a lot more, but in those three years my hands are tied. It'll be alright, though. Everything will turn out alright."
He'd say, letting his shoulders sag a bit. "Thank you, Fu." |
