Midoriya POV

12 days.In 12 I will participate in the sport festival of the UA academy. I felt like I was about to burst out of excitement. I wanted the day to end so I could get closer to the sport festival. I wanted to mark another day as done in my calendar. Sometimes I even thought about making a chart for all the minutes that was left until then, so I won't need to wait a whole day just to mark one little "X" every time.

But then I understood that maybe this idea was a bit exaggerated, so I didn't do it.

Also, I decided to stop thinking about the orange light that surrounded Kacchan. I didn't get used to it, of course. But I came to a conclusion that wondering about it the whole day wouldn't help me to understand the situation at all.

Now Kacchan was always glowing, the light didn't disappear not even for a little second. Due to that it was harder to ignore it, although I had no choice- I bet he wouldn't like the idea of me staring at him, or asking him weird questions.

Maybe I can ask All Might about it. Maybe it's related somehow to One For All,I thought as I walked down the hallway. This time I was alone, Uraraka felt unwell and stayed at home in order to rest (I hoped she will get better before the festival). And Iida stayed in the class, he wanted to get done with his math homework.

I didn't pay much attention to my surrounding, I was too focused on my thoughts. That was probably the reason why I bumped into someone.I mumbled "sorry" and looked up slowly to see the person in front of me.

Ohh no.RIP me.

I didn't bumped into an ordinary person, but into a glowing one. It was Kacchan.A very angry and glowing Kacchan.

"U-uh I'm so sorry, I'm very s-sorry... I didn't m-mean to-" I kept apologizing and bowing fast. my voice was high and my eyes were closed. The last thing I wanted was to make him angry. well... at least not angrier than usual.

I was expecting him to shout at me, to call me stupid or nerd or maybe to use some words from his amazingly big curse vocabulary. And if he was in a bad mood, and it wasn't that rare, he may even threaten me with his explosions. I was getting myself ready to whatever he will do, but none of it came.

He didn't yell, he didn't curse, he didn't called me a shitty nerd. "Stop mumbling" was the only thing he said in an angry tone, his hands were still in his pants pockets. He didn't even tell me to get out of his (fucking) way. His behavior was weirder than his appearance,and his appearance was very weird, since he was literally glowing.

"S-sorry" I said again and straightened up.

Is he sick? Does he have a fever?What's wrong with him? Does the orange light have something to do with it?

His eyes weren't focused on me. Actually, he looked like he was trying to avoid looking at me. He was acting as if he was nervous, and Kacchan is never nervous. Especially not in front of me. His beautiful red eyes were looking somewhere at the direction of the wall, and he pursed his lips in a way that made him look like he was debating with himself whether he should say something or not.

But Kacchan never thinks about his words before talking. He always says whatever he wants whenever he wants.

"You should look where you're going" he said after a second of silence and then walked past me.

What had just happened?I don't think that Kacchan actually talked with me in the past 10 years. I mean- he literally talked. He didn't yell at me, he didn't course me and he didn't even try to blow me up or something like that.

I was really confused. I just stood there in the middle of the hallway and didn't move a muscle. His behavior shocked me. I have never imagined, not even in my wildest dreams, that Kacchan knew how to be nice. More than that, I was sure that the day when Kacchan will be nice to someone (not to mention me), will be the day when the world will come to an end. But I'm still alive, right?

I was about to keep waking when Kacchan's voice stopped me, "Hey, shitty hair".

Oh, did he already returned to his usual self?

I thought as I turned to face him. He was standing three meters away from me. Now, unlike before, he was looking at me, and I could see clearly that he wanted to say something. But it looked like it was hard for him to find the words.

"Did you..." he hesitated."Did you see a green light around me?" he asked. I couldn't figure out the expression on his face.

Wait, can he see this light too? Does he know something about it?

"Well... I do see a light around you, but it's orange not green" I responded, waiting for him to keep talking. I was curious.

But he just turned around and started to walk again, his face full of complex emotions I couldn't understand.

Why is he going? Did I say something wrong?

"W-wait! K-Kacchan! Can you see it too? Do you know something about it? Can you please tell me?" I was about to run after him but his low, dark voice pinned my legs to the ground."Don't come near me" he said while walking away.

He hates me now, doesn't he? My heart sank as this thought crossed my mind.

Okay, I have decided. I'm going to ask All Might about this.
