Izuku had every right to be paranoid. I mean, he’s quirkless, dorky, and the perfect target for bullies. He’s been paranoid the second he step foot in this middle school and caught sight of Kacchan and his lackeys.

So when you, a perfectly normal girl, started staring at him while he passed in the hallway, he can’t help but to get a little scared. What if you started bullying him too? What if you made fun of him? It wouldn’t be uncommon, but it’ll still sting.

Your gaze, he can feel it burning holes on the back of his head whenever he passes by. It’s strange. It’s almost scary. Who knows what you’re thinking of.

But he has to be brave, right? Just like All Might! He can pull through. Right?

Izuku sighs as he steps foot into his math class, his gaze on the ground. Looking up, he notices that every seat seems to be taken. Every seat except the one next to you.

Oh gosh.
