💚 "Yumi what can I put in this box"
Midoriya pointed at an empty box in the middle of the room
"You can put all of books in that box, I'll be donating those"
🧡 "Hey what about the furniture, what do you want to do with it"
"Oh I'll be throwing out all of the furniture"
🧡 "Everything?"
"Yeah"
❤️ "What about all of the pictures and holiday decorations, you don't want to keep any of it"
"Nope"
"Everything in this house belonged to my father, I want nothing to do with him so everything that belonged to him goes in the trash"
I was packing up what was left in my room , not that there was much to pack. Midoriya and Todoroki went out to grab snacks and drinks. I set my last belong in the box and taped it up. I placed the box downstairs and just stared at the empty house.
🧡 "Are you sad?"
I turned to see Bakugou leaning against the door frame.
"...no..."
"My worst memories are in this house, it doesn't feel like home"
"I thought I would die in this house, that one day I would finally get to leave this hell hole"
"...but because of you, Midoriya, and Todoroki I was able to break free of his chains that kept me shackled to this house"
"I don't know what's next for me but I know I can finally start living a some what normal life, and for that I will forever be eternally grateful"
I moved closer to him and bowed
"So thank you Pro hero Ground Zero"
💚 "Yumi why are you thanking us"
I looked at Midoriya and Todoroki who just got back with bags in their hands.
❤️ "Midoriya is right we were just doing our jobs and we were protecting a friend"
I smiled at them.
💚 "Now let's eat the snacks we bought"
"Okay"
I sat down next to the windowsill watching as Midoriya and Bakugou argued over snacks. I smiled and looked at my reflection in the window.
💔 "You don't deserve them"
💔 "They are liars"
💔 "Everyone leaves eventually"
The shadows behind me were whispering, but it was as if they couldn't hurt me. I used my sleeve to wipe the glass. When I looked at the window again it was just me staring back. No shadows, just me.
🧡 "Hey weirdo are you just going to admire yourself all day or are you going to come and join us"
❤️ "Yes please come and eat before these two eat all buy themselves"
🧡 "You better take that back icy hot"
💚 "Todoroki are you calling me fat"
I looked at them, they were all looking at me. I felt happier in this single moment then I have ever been in my entire life. I gave them the brightest smile and walked towards them.
"I'm coming"
