school's out forever

As the elderly among us have realized, most of us seem to be underage. Since that's the case, I have a question regarding my education.

I'm not quite sure what to do without highschool. The concerns of reaching graduation aside, my days seem emptier without the responsibilities I had back home. Time passes much slower when I can only spend it on hobbies. And it's frustrating knowing that looking for a job would be pointless due to our apparent invisibility to normal people.

(Which is ridiculous, by the way.)

To be blunt, it's stressing me out. Apparently. My shinki noticed it enough to point it out. They even threatened me if I didn't write this.

So let me know if you have an answer. I'm obviously at a loss. Please also let me know if you have any excess paperwork. At least I know that soothes me.

[He thinks, maybe, it was the other way around for him and Shouto? Izuku was the one who reached out to him and made him realize he wanted to be a hero after years of bitterness.

Not that Shouto remembers it here.]

I don't think anybody'd bring up stuff like that if it wasn't bothering them at least a little. If you want to talk about it, I'm here.

But if you'd rather not discuss it, I understand.

Thank you. But I think admitting who they are is good enough for now. Thinking about it, I don't think I've told anyone since I got here. It's been hard with the questions people ask.

Although, I am sorry you, a relative stranger, were told. I feel bad, burdening you with my own anxieties. I'll make sure it won't happen again.

[Private]

[fullcowl]

If you say so.

[There's a pause.]

I don't mind though. It's the basics of heroics, if I can help, no matter how, I'd like to. I guess it does sound a little weird from a stranger...?

I'm Midoriya Izuku, Deku is fine too.

There are worse things to say, although it is a bit worrying. It sounds like we have similar problems. In a case like that, you should put your own needs before mine, Midoriya. It's a saying, after all. You can't take care of others if you don't mind yourself.

Still... I do appreciate it.

My name is Hasumi Keito. It's nice to meet you, Midoriya Izuku, though it feels superficial through text.

[There's another pause. Oh, he knows who you remind him of now.]

You sound like one of my teachers. It's pretty good advice. But if we're both dealing with the same problem we can at least understand each other a little bit.

It's nice to meet you too. Hopefully we'll meet in person soon enough.

[It's a nice offer, really. Keito's touched. Unfortunately, he's going to flat out ignore the offer.]

I'd like that. To be honest, I hate talking over text like this. Face-to-face is much better.

I'll look forward to it, Midoriya.

[He notes the avoidance. But he's also not the type to push, so he'll let it go.

At least he's put to offer out there.]

So do I, Hasumi.
