WAILS. Rose!! ;n; Just gonna tie this thread off

His heart constricts as he looks at her, eyebrows knitting. Then the pang passes as quickly as it comes, leaving a not unwelcome ache. Midoriya misses his own mother. He misses her soft hands and her smile and even the tears they cried together. Rose is an entirely different person. He knows that, but he's caught off guard by the calm in this room and his own yearning for home.

He knows what to do. It's what he's done ever since he was a small child and first learned the concept of someone else hurting for him. He wants to make that hurt disappear, even if he has to hide his own.

He smiles gently.

"It's all right."

In a way, it is what he always tries to do: protect people. So he forgets his usual reservations, as he usually does when this instinct of his is pressed on. He reaches out and gives her hand the gentlest squeeze with his, scarred as it always has been, but uninjured and whole.

"I'm fine."
