Midoriya wasn't shaken enough by the Pollux mission to have a breakdown like after the battle at Jakuu, but he did neglect his well-being. It wasn't the violence on its own but the people who were hurt, people he couldn't save.... It's the one thing Heroes are trained to prevent, but it's anathema especially to him. It weighs on a kind heart that instinctively wants to save, but he doesn't speak about it. He doesn't want to be a bother.

So when he can't sleep, he goes for a jog. His injuries are healed enough that he can, no thanks to whatever was making noise outside at night during his stay at the hospital. After being discharged, he was glad to sleep in his own bed.

Midoriya wears basketball shorts, one of his usual stupid T-shirts (that just reads "T-shirt" in katakana), his usual red sneakers, and a fine sheen of sweat that makes him feel gross and sticky in the summer air. He slows his jog when he recognizes the other person awake at this weird hour.

"Accelerator-kun?!" he blurts out. "So you're the one who's been kicking trash cans all this time!"

The shock is mutual, though for different reasons. Many people would be surprised to know how much of a rule breaker the nice polite Midoriya really is. When he feels strongly about something, neither his supervisors nor even his friends can stop him. He's got a record....

This is a regular T-shirt of the type that he wears often. He has multiple in this very plain style, and they say things like "sweater" and "henley" and "flannel". They are all, without exception, T-shirts. Yet another of his fashion crimes.

He flinches, shoulders rising up to his ears. Not using "-kun" is also being overly familiar in his book, so he's really stuck here.

"I'm sorry." That was his slip-up after all. "I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a jog. Kicking over trash cans makes a lot of noise, you know."

He doesn't live near here, but that's his way of reminding Accelerator that he lives in a place with others and should be more considerate.

He would usually jog early in the morning like a normal person. Athletic people need their sleep more than ever; that's when the muscles heal. All Might even had to chide him for overworking himself when he first started strength training. But when Midoriya can't sleep, he feels restless, and when he feels restless, he's out here like a delinquent.

"Picking up the trash can should be enough," he says mildly. He can tell that a lecture probably wouldn't help, so it falls to deeds. "Bad day?"

He tilts his head a little in concern. He's a meddling Hero if there ever was one.
