outcast
"So does this mean I don't get to stay in class 1-A?",you inquire with a soft frown as you hold the ice pack to your head. You sat in the nurse's office and Aizawa looked at you with a quirked brow.
"Are you joking? You beat and took down student after student. Especially my top students strength wise and you are the smartest girl in class 1-A right now. There's no way you're leaving my sight.",he sighed heavily and reached up to brush back his messy black hair,"You just need to figure out a few kinks in your quirk and you have the potential to be a top hero. When you feel better you can head off to get lunch."
You nod and bid Aizawa a goodbye and watch him leave the small resting room. You wear a soft smile of your face, a huge relief falls onto your shoulders. Then immediate guilt stabs at your heart as you remember what you did to Todoroki and almost to Bakugo.
No matter how big of a jerk Bakugo was no one should have to relive their trauma or experience their deepest fear. It was just a silly competition and you completely shut down Todoroki. You shook your head gently in disbelief that his mother had done that to him.
Your face rests in your cold hands as you feel tears prickle your eyes.
Am I really a hero?
You can't help but let your mind wander to the hurtful words you endured all your childhood. You were exhausted and guilty, you already wanted to go home. You could only assume everyone is terrified of you or hated you.
"I hope you aren't feeling bad."
You look up at the sound of a deep voice and two tears roll down your flushed cheeks. Your brows pinch together at the sight of an indigo haired boy, Shinso. You eye him with curiosity as he shuts the door and holds out a water bottle.
"You were impressive. You're already the talk of the whole school, probably the city as well. I'm Shinso.",he introduces himself with a slight grin on his lips. You glance down at the water bottle and take it, you quickly wipe away your tears.
"I'm Fujisaki, but call me (Y/N).",you glance down at the water bottle,"You aren't...scared of me?"
Shinso chuckles and shakes his head with an eyeroll,"Not in a way I wanna stay away. But truth be told you are pretty intimidating. You paralyzed Todoroki and Bakugo with such ease." He walks towards you and shoves his hands into the uniform pants he wears. You're unsure of how to feel about his statements. He nods slowly.
"Listen, I know what you're feeling. Trust me. From one "villain" quirk kid to another. Don't feel bad, thats what they want.",you jump slightly when his hands rest on either side of you, grasping the edge of the hard bed you sit on. He grins at you with a cock of his head. "They want you weak and sensitive. Don't let 'em have the satisfaction."
You hold the water bottle close to your chest and you begin to feel better with his words. And you also feel comfortable with someone to relate to. You had heard of the brainwashing quirk, one often correlated with evil. You smiled at him and nodded.
"Thanks, Shinso.",his tired looking eyes sweep over your slightly blushing cheeks and he nods while stepping away from you.
"Call me Hitoshi."
You feel your smile widen slightly and you nod while stepping off of the high bed,"So, Hitoshi, why did you come to visit me?" You can't help but ask. He opens the door for you and you step out with a small "thank you" and before you know it you're both walking towards the girls locket room so you can shower and change out of these dirtied clothes.
He shrugs as you open the water bottle and take a drink from it,"Like I said you were impressive. Figured we could get to know each other." You nod and close the water bottle with a gentle smile on your lips. "I'd like that."
You were pretty happy at the prospect of your first friend. As you walked down the hallways glanced around and noticed not many people were out here. You were pretty glad, now that everyone had seen your quirk in action there was no doubt they'd be whispering and muttering.
Shinso walked you towards the locker rooms and he looked down at you with his dark purple eyes,"I'm assuming you got in off of recommendations alone?" You nod while looking out of the windows and out to the familiar scenery.
"Yes, my parents recommended me. I'm just glad I didn't disappoint them.",you chuckle lightly and turn down the hall. You clench your eyes shut when you bump into something. Looking up you notice its Bakugo in his U.A uniform, a few bandages on his face. Shinso looks between the two of you.
You feel your brows thread together with concern. Shinso speaks before you can,"Don't be a sore loser, Bakugo." Bakugo growls at the indigo haired boy before turning to you. He looks down at your dirtied face and messy hair, you can't help but notice the strange look in his eyes.
Before he can speak you bow your head catching both boys off guard,"I'm sorry! I was just trying to win! I'm sorry." Shinso looks at Bakugo with a bored expression. Bakugo ignores Shinso but instead scoffs and knocks on the back of your head. Your gaze looks back to him with furrowed brows.
"Don't apologize, dumbass. I don't appreciate pity. I'll get you next time, Fujisaki.",he states plainly before leaving and walking away. You mumble grumpily while rubbing the back of your neck. Shinsos eyes narrow slightly and he can't help but notice the strange calmness Bakugo had.
You look to the sign signaling to the locker rooms and you look to Shinso with a smile. "Thank you, for not being a jerk. And—for the water." Shinso nods with a crooked grin.
"Sure thing.",he responds casually and you give him a small wave. He nods at you and you disappear around another corner. Shinso finds himself smiling as he turns and leaves to go get lunch.
"I was angry about it before, now I'm not. I was just as prepared to be merciless.",Todoroki replies to Tokoyamis question. The students at the table look up to see Bakugo approaching with his lunch tray in his hand. Ashido purses her lips and looks to her friend.
"What about you Bakugo? How was it being paralyzed?",she questions while taking a bite of the salmon on her tray. Bakugo rolls his eyes and snorts.
"We're still talking about this crap?",he questions in a rhetorical tone. Kaminari nods and he shakes his head still in disbelief.
"She didn't even touch either of you! Sorta...I swear she looked like an angel...",Kirishima laughs at his blonde haired friends heart eyes at the thought of you. "And did you see her during the race? She was amazing!"
"Speaking of...",Sero states while looking up with a grin on his lips. Everyone turns to see you walk into the cafeteria, making your way towards the vending machine with a small coin purse in your hand.
You could feel everyones eyes on you as you went towards the snack machine and you puffed your cheeks full of air.
Can't a girl buy some tea in peace?
You put in the coins and grab the bottle of green tea and bag of pretzels, just about to make your way out you hear your name being called. “(Y/N) Fujisaki!” You turn with pursed lips and furrowed brows at an unfamiliar voice calling you. Your eyes land on a pair of yellow ones just across the ways. The pink haired alien waves her hand wildly, gesturing for you to come over.
You look around and point to your chest and her wide grin widens,”Yes you!” With curiosity you walk over, tucking your coin purse into the pocket of your jacket. The girl you know as Ashido smiles at you with a friendly glow.
“You kicked ass out there!”,she compliments as you approach the table. The others nod in agreement and look up at you with smiles.
You feel confused for a moment. All of them look at you with adoration and impressed eyes. The flaming red head raises his fist and you blink back at his teary eyes,”You are the manliest man, Fujisaki.” Kaminari nods,”Your quirk is sick!”
You glance around and notice the eyes on you aren’t ones of hatred or bitterness, some of them.
In fact majority of them are starry-eyed and impressed. Albeit envious and jealous as well.
“Wanna have lunch with us?”,Ashido asks with a smile, excited at the prospect of another girl joining the group. You feel a warmness in your heart as you look back to Ashido. You cannot describe the weight thats lifted off your heart. You give a soft nod and smile.
“Sure!”,you glance to Bakugo looking to you and Todoroki staring down at his tray of food. You sigh heavily and walk around the table to Todoroki you look down at him.
“I’m sorry.”
Everyone is surprised when you publicly apologize to Shoto. He looks up at you with a face void of expression, then a small hint of a smile falls on his lips,”You won fair and square. I respect your abilities, maybe we can train together someday.” Todoroki spoke with honesty and you smiled while taking a space aside him.
Everyone introduces themselves with wide and inviting smiles and you’re too joyous to notice the two boys who’s eyes never leave you the entire time.
