The Quirkless At U.A. (Student Reader x Aizawa)

Chapter 26.

The internship week went by pretty quick. It consisted of me watching him apprehend villains from the side-lines, and him never letting me leave his side after the incident. And, of course, me trying to get my school-girl crush under control.

But at the same time, I knew it was more than that.

"What's up with you lately?" He ate his dinner, looking at me refusing to touch mine. My thoughts were constantly running amok at the fact that I could never have him. Plus, I was bothering him by taking up his room, and fawning over him like a little girl. I caused him all this worry. And if he were ever to know how I felt, it would ruin everything. My love was a destructive force. A ticking time bomb waiting to go off.

"I've been feeling sick-"

"Cut it out. I can tell something's wrong. Why?" He dropped his fork, and refused to break eye contact with me.

"You're not gonna give this up, are you?" He shook his head.

"I... don't feel like I deserve to be here, okay? I take up all this space in your home, and just bother you by being here. It feels shit. Costing you money, and worrying you all the time. Alright? Happy now?" He looked at me worried. I was telling the truth; just leaving out the part where I was crushing hard.

"No. I'm not happy now. I know it must be distressful living in someone else's home, but it's yours too now. Don't ever think you're bothering me. I- enjoy having you here. I like it. And I love cooking for y- other people. Please don't continue to punish yourself." I looked down at my food. It was tempting me with the broth.

"...Okay." I slowly picked up a mouthful of noodles, gently putting it into my mouth. I began shovelling the rest of it in my mouth.

"I feel lucky that I'm the one that gets to worry about you." He mumbled.

I smiled, satisfied with my meal.

Strolling into homeroom, the usual scene was taking place. Katsuki threatening Midoriya, Ochaco watching on blushing, Iida chopping his hands about trying to restore order, and Mineta drooling at the nearest female. Luckily for me, I got to sit in the middle of it all.

"'Scuse me." I gently pushed past Midoriya to get to my seat. They continued to argue with me between them.

"Can you two give it a FUCKING REST ALREADY?!" I yelled at the pair.

"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO, HAG!!" Bakugo refocused his attention to me.

"Sit the fuck down and be quiet, Katsuki. Dear Christ, you have a lot of energy this time of morning..." I rubbed my temples tiredly.

"He sleeps at 8pm every night-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP, DEKU!!" Katsuki grabbed Midoriya's collar.

"Pffft, does your mom tuck you in every night as well?!" I laughed at the 14-year-old boy.

"YOU OLD H-"

"Settle down." Aizawa entered, using his quirk to freak everyone out. His fair fell back to his face, as he took a seat in his squeaky desk chair.

"There is going to be a summer training camp in the forests. However, your final exams are also coming up. These will be made up of a written component, and practical component. If you fail these, you will not be allowed to attend the training camp. Study hard, and train hard. That is all." Aizawa promptly climbed into his sleeping bag and zipped it shut.

The written part wasn't what I had to worry about. Being quirkless, you learn that studying is one of the only things that can help. Gotta keep the brain trained up. Obviously, I got 1st on the midterms. Being older and in education for longer maaaay have helped as well. Especially for the 100% I got in English.
