The Letter
Iida always started his morning the same way
Wake up 10 Minutes before the Alarm rings
Keep eyes closed until the alarm goes off
After shutting it off go take a shower
Then while brewing his morning coffee check the mail for an due bills
Followed by drinking set coffee while reading the newspapers
And then off to work
He needed this order
It was a remnant from his very disciplined past from back from high school
However today something would happen that would break this cycle
Today
While checking his mail a genuine letter fell into his hands
Most of his assouciates in the hero agency communicated with e-mail and phone messages
So a letter espacilly a handwritten one was a true surprise
He decided instead of reading the news paper he would read this strange little piece of writing
Dear ingineum
A long time ago you safed my life and you gave me a promise
That you would always be by my side …
The letter was signed with your name and a phone number
He read your name over and over
It rang a bell in his head
But he diddnt know where to put it
And then his eyes widened with shock.
It had been 7 years during his second year at UA
At the time he had been enjoying the luxury of having his provisional hero license by working part time at the Hero agency of the Acid hero Nightblight
Infact it was during his debut at the agency that he and
The hero he was assigned to were called to a family despute
A woman with a strength based quirk coked out of her mind was threatening her neighbours
And while the brawl was short leadeing her to be subdued
And later arrested
Thanks to him being in training he was allowed to participate in the search of the womans house
He and the others were looking for the womans her husband whom she apperantly murdered
Iida had thought he was prepared for what he was about to uncover but he wasn’t
The house was a mess
Mountains of trash broken furniture and worst of all rotten food scraps were pretty much covering the entire floor and walls
He could have never imagined such a grotesque sight let alone life in it
First the womans husband was found in the masters bedroom
The stench alone gave Iida a headache
The man had been chained to his bed
Bloated from the lack of food slowly dying in his own feces
He would have immidatly left to get the others if it wasn’t for quiet sobbing behind a mounted pile of chairs
A terrible feeling overcame him
Body rushing with adrenaline
He leaned over a pile of dirty laundry and grabbed a few smelly towls and covered the corpse
With a quiet “Sorry”
Then he began removeing the chairs
Which revealed a door
Mysteriously this door seemed to be free from any dirt
The sobbing got louder
With a shakeing hand he gently opened the door
What he saw scarred him for months
A girl
You
Lying on the ground
Sourrounded by empty food cans and bottles of water
You were nothing but skin and bones
Your hair clinging to your face skin white from lack of sunlight
Eyes just barely able to focouse on him
“who are you” you had said in a hoarse voice
You were wearing nothing but dirty rags and bandages
“I … I am ingenium im here to safe you”
He was glad that his costume wasn’t scareing you
At first you you diddnt move
You crawled ever so slightly forward
But trust was something you never had
“hey why … why don’t you tell me your name … how old are you?”
He felt akward
Sure Iida had read a great many books about how to deal with
Stuff like this yet now his mind had gone blank
Unsure of yourself you began with your name
Then your age
12
So young
He thought
But to you everything was better then what was happening now
On all fours you came closer
Like an animal being offered food
Once you were close enough he carefully picked you up
You were light
Too light
He was afraid he would break you just by holding you
And then you two left the house
Your thin frame in his arms
He barely registered the people who immidatly swarmed him
Iida was headed right for the ambulance car
He heard shouting
All around him
His free hand gently rested on your head
Trying to protect you from these vultures
And he sat down in the ambulance car next to you
Until you were given over to the doctors and nurses
There
While on the bumby ride
You asked him if he would always be there for you
And he silently nodded while combing through your hair
Slowly the memory faded
And tenya let out a sigh
His coffee was cold
Around the end of his shift iida finally had time to breath
And he remembered the letter you had send him
It diddnt take him much courage to call you
And you both agreed to meet at an ice cream parlor near his hero agency HQ
You were happy to hear from your Hero
And you were even more happy when you heard that he was close by
Normally you would not have the courage but something bad had happened to you in the past two weeks and you needed someone to approach
So when you saw him sitting at the parlor your mood shifted from mild dread to hope
He was actually here
“hey” you said meekly while approaching him
And with a surprised smile he looked you up and down before offering you the seat infront of him
“You have creatinly grown” he said with an akward smile
And you giggled
“I mean it has been a while”
Your heart was beating fast
And you felt as if this was your only chance
“last time I saw you…” his gaze dropped
“I honestly thought I was too late … that you wouldn’t make it”
You blushed
“I didn’t mean this as an insult” he quickly interjected
“it was just a really fucked situation…”
You shifted in your seat
You weren’t uncomfortable but you had hoped your first conversation with him would be different
“but im glad you seem to have gotten up to your health”
He smiled
And you needed to surpass a giggle
For just a split second his eyes had went down to your cleavage
Maybe this would end the way you hoped afterall
“so what was it you needed to talk about?”
You sighed with relief
Atleast you woudlnt have to bring up the courage to start talink about it yourself
“im 19 now” you started
“and my foster parents have kicked out… I never really went to school long enough Im not smart there is nothing I can do…” his postured softened
But his eyes kept a certain sharpness
“let me guess you remembered my promise … that I would take care of you … like you said in the letter”
He grinned
“and what makes you think that I would take you”
Of course he would take you he thought
As long as you would not break his trust
He felt a moral obligation towards you
However at the same time he was curious what were you thinking about and how did you get the idea
you blushed
“the … magazine you posed in”
His face turned to utter shock
“said you were single”
A month ago iida and a few other heros in the top 20 had been invited to take part in “tastefull nudes for charity” which as the name suggested
It was a scandalous photo shooting while the tittelateing parts were always covered
It was obvious to the viewer of these images that there was really nothing worn
The picture of him that actually got into the magazine was him poseing whith his helmet between his groin
Covering the sentitive parts fully
Atleast it was for charity
“I almost forgot that” he chuckled
And tried to hide his blushing face to no avail
Then he realized what you had actually said
“wait … so if I was taken you would have not come to me?”
He let your head hang low
Not sure what to say
“you were hopeing to become my girlfriend so you could stay rent free at my place weren’t you”
You clouldnt help but nod
Only now realizing how selfish you truly were
he was a stranger
why would he
“ok how about this”
He suddenly interrupted your thoughts
“I let you stay for lets say a year”
You gulped
“I will help you get your feet on the ground”
He grinned
“and should anything happen” he paused
And looked away
A tiny blush tinting his cheeks
“you can stay longer deal?”
