Izuku's POV:

'WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?' was what I thought to myself as I went ahead and took my seat.

I was just planning to sing in front of Yaoyorozu and her parents, along with Daichi and Ichika as a surprise for them, but I was not intending to sing in front of such a large audience. I wanted to grab the guitar so that I can fine-tune it one more time before using it. After I was lost in my own thoughts, I later realized people were murmuring, which made me more self-conscious. I started spiraling even more into my thoughts, continuously doubting myself, but then I saw Yaoyorozu in the crowd, looking at me. I then realized that the whole point of the song was for Yaoyorozu, not for everyone. After reinforcing that idea into my head, I was able to calm down.

Izuku: "This song is dedicated to a friend who needs a reminder that I'll always be there, even if I'm far away." After saying my piece, I went ahead and checked the guitar one last time before singing.

"Count on Me" by Bruno Mars

Oh-oh

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea

I'll sail the world to find you

If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see

I'll be the light to guide you

After singing the first verse, I see that many people were stunned by my voice.

We'll find out what we're made of

When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three

I'll be there

And I know when I need it, I can count on you like four, three, two

And you'll be there

'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

If you tossin' and you're turnin' and you just can't fall asleep

I'll sing a song beside you

And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me

Every day I will remind you, oh

We'll find out what we're made of

When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three

I'll be there
