.. Izuku thought himself to be a bad person. Selfish, the most selfish. He could go on for years as to why. It'd only taken a few months by himself for him to crack, after all. Crack, and then all Izuku knew was blood and gore and burns as he grinned because they'd gotten what they'd deserved, hadn't they? Hurt him. .. But they didn't. Revenge wasn't it. Just because people shoved him down and hurt him and they were still coming for him, sometimes, didn't mean he could enjoy hurting them. Paws all sparked with electricity and burnt flesh. He grins and then their teeth are gritted in pain. .. But. He doesn't like to think about that. He hasn't forgotten it, though. And maybe that's why Izuku decided to be Frosthealer. To make up for it all. And, maybe, that's all the key difference between him and Uraraka, when they were surviving on their own.
.. He'd been worried about Uraraka, of course. But Izuku worried about everyone. She was strong, wasn't she? She might not come back. And that was .. okay. It'd be nice to know where she was, but the world didn't revolve around Izuku and she could take care of herself. It wasn't his job to take care of everyone, except that it was because he was fucking Frosthealer. A shitty Frosthealer, one who got himself into trouble every moment of the day and got himself hurt almost daily, but one nonetheless. Atbash said he was doing just fine. Izuku isn't sure how he agrees.
"Uraraka?" He'd heard her call, of course. He'd been out here walking again, even though his paws were ruined and who the hell was letting him walk around to begin with? Izuku isn't sure. But he's here anyways, he doesn't give a damn if both of his front paws are horrible because he's more focused on marching over to her with ears pricked and eyes wide. "You're -- back," He sounds a little shocked, and he makes to circle around her, eyeing her for injures. A scar on her tail, but she otherwise seemed just fine. His ears turn a little warily on his head, but after a critical few moments where he eyes her just as warily, he breaks. ".. I'm here. Welcome back," He speaks softly, ducking his head softly. He's not sure what to say, but the relief is clear, his bandaged paws trembling. .. There were a lot of them here, now. He feels kind of bad. There's more of his classmates here than there are clanmates, and Izuku hopes that isn't off-putting to anybody? It probably is. .. But. Izuku honestly isn't sure if Aizawa will show up. He hasn't been around a lot, lately, and Izuku is too sick of it all to try and drag the lion out of wherever he is. That's Aizawa's problem, now.
