Heartbeat

Two

Your POV

The other classes seemed to fly by and soon lunch arrived. I end up sitting with Mina, the red haired boy, and two blondes as well as a boy with red and white hair.

"Hey! Your quirk was pretty awesome!" The red haired boy said suddenly. I look up a bit startled and give him a shy smile. "Thanks." He smiled at me.

"The names Kirishima! This is Denki, Bakugou, Shoto, and you've already met Mina!" He introduced everyone and I gave them all a small wave.

"Pfftt. Her quirk is alright but it's not better than mine! Don't forget that extras." Bakugou growled and ate a bag of hot chips.

"It's  cooler then your hair, porcupine." I mumble under my breath but thanks to the lord above the lunch room decided to become silent so the entire table heard what I said.

"What'd you say extra!" He yelled and grabbed the collar of blazer. I sat still and stared unafraid into his blood red eyes.

He looked generally confused that I wasn't scared and slowly let go of me. "Eh, you're not worth my time." He huffed and pulled out his phone to ease the embarrassment.

"Haha! How manly of you to stand up to Bakugou! I like you already!" Kirishima said happily and Denki agreed before they were both yelled at by Bakugou. 

I smile lightly at Mina and shake my head before turning my attention to the other boy. "You haven't spoken yet." I say softly so I don't freak him out.

"Nothing to say." He answered simply. I nod in understanding. "Smart." I turn to the others and they looked a bit shocked. "What?" I ask confused.

"He doesn't usually talk to people." Denki explained. "You guys are probably to loud." I answer with a shrug and finish my lunch just before a shadow casts over my empty tray.

"L/n, I need to speak to you about your quirk." I look behind me and see Mr. Aizawa standing there with principle Nezu on his shoulder.

"O-okay." I say bit worried and stand up with my tray. I throw it away and look back to my table to see them all looking a bit worried except for Bakugou and Shoto.

I follow the two out of the cafeteria and into an office. Nezu climbed off of Mr. Aizawa and sat down on a chair that had a big booster seat on it so he could reach the desk.

"You're not in trouble Miss L/n. Aizawa has simply noticed a few things about your quirk during today's assessment." I nod slowly and glance over at my teacher only to find him asleep.

I huff lightly, a little mad that he made me leave my friends and then fell asleep before the meeting even started. Suddenly his eyes opened and stared directly into mine.

I don't know why but I feel my heart quicken and my face flushed so I quickly look back to Nezu. "He noticed that you seemed to have trouble controlling your quirk." Nezu explained.

He looked up from a piece of paper. "Is this true?" He asked. I sigh softly and nod. He turned the page and was silent before looking back up at me.

"Does this have anything to do with you fathers sudden death last year?" I clench my fists and growl.

"L/n." Mr. Aizawa said in a warning tone. At the sound of his voice my heart began to steady and I unclenched my firsts.

"Yes. I killed him. Is that what you wanted to hear?" I whisper weakly and fight back the tears threatening to spill down my cheeks.

"It says here he was in a hit and run. How is that your fault, my dear?" Nezu asked softly with a kindness in his voice.

He passed me a warm cup of tea and I gently took a sip to calm myself down. "I-I could have pushed him out of the way but I was too..." I whisper.

"I was too SLOW! I couldn't hold my bloody heart beat long enough and he got hit!" I manage to keep my voice level before bursting into to tears.

I feel the tea cup being taken from my hands as my heartbeat rattled against my chest and eardrums. 

Someone calls my name but all I can hear is buzzing and thudding. I quit trying to stop the tears and try to curl into a ball but someone's arms wrapped around me.

At this point I didn't care who it was. I let them hold me and sob into their chest. They ran there fingers through my hair and I began to calm down.

Finally my heartbeat became steady and I could hear someone else's heartbeat too. I slowly look up and see Mr. Aizawa looking at me with concern and soft eyes.

He let go of me and set me back down beside him, I feel my ears heat up after realizing that I had been sitting in his lap.

"I-I'm so sorry. I understand if you want to expel me because I can't control my quirk." I mumble softly and cover my face with my hands.

"Oh no, dear! Aizawa has volunteered to help you control and strengthen your quirk. He will be working with you everyday after school except for Fridays. Does that work for you?" Nezu asked me.

I look over to Aizawa in shock. He is now in his usual stoic persona and I nod. "Thank you, Sir." I thank him and he simply nodded before standing up.

"Your next class began a couple minutes ago. I'll walk you there." He said. I nod and watch as he headed to the door.

I quickly come to my senses and follow him out of the office and down the hall. "Our training will begin tomorrow from 3:30pm to 5pm." He said as we stopped in front of the door to class 1-A.

"Thank you, Sensei." I bow to him and he nodded but his eyes seemed to wonder. "You're welcome. Give this to Mic. It'll excuse your tardiness." I nod and he left so I head into the classroom.
