Yami Koshaku (Vigilante Deku)

Chapter 11 Who Are You?

~Izuku's POV~

I just finished up cleaning mystery man's wounds and bandaged them up. He mostly had minor lacerations but the real problem was the major bruising on his body. The main ones being on his torso and shoulder. I'm gonna have to call Granny to come and look him over just in case I missed anything. 

I decide to look him over again, just in case when I hear the door to my room open. I look over to see Himiko walk in while rubbing her eyes. Once her eyes adjust, she starts to look between me and the man on my bed. A sly smirk starts to form on her face.

"You know Izu-chan, if you wanted a man so bad, I could have hooked you up with someone." she giggles.

It takes me a minute to realize what she just said and my face instantly becomes hot to which I become a stuttering mess.

"H-h-hi-HIMIKO! What are you talking about? I-I found him being beat and thought it would b-be b-best to bring him he-here." My face continues to burn after saying that. She continues to giggle at how flustered I am and makes her way over to get a look him.

"Whatever you say Izu-chan. Anyways what's his story?" she asks as she continues to look him over. I sigh and look over at my mystery man. 'Wait, did I just say My? Oh my god, Bad Izuku!' I think to myself.

"I found him being ganged up on underneath a bridge not far from here. He was already unconscious when I got there and the assholes just continued to beat him."

Himiko's brows furrowed in concern, "Why were they ganging up on him to the point they could have killed him?"

I felt my anger rise again at remembering what their reason was. "Apparently, He looked too much like a villain and they saw him messing around with his Quirk. So they thought and I quote, 'We are just getting rid of the trash in the world'. I tried to show them how stupid their reasoning was until one of them realized I'm a wanted vigilante, their focused then turned to me." I explain.

Sadness flashes across her eyes at what the man went through. It's understandable since she was also treated like a villain just because she has a unique Quirk. I grab her hand and start to rub circles with my thumb to pull her from her mind. She still has flashbacks from her childhood and will disassociate if it becomes to much for her. I've notice that she comes back if I hold her hand and rub circles on it. This situation more than likely stirred up old memories. 

"It's ok, I'm here, you caught it just in time." she reassures me. I give her a nod but I still hold her hand just in case. She then looks over at me and her eyes narrow to slits.

"Izu-chan, when were you going to tell me that you were also hurt?" she asks as I tense up at her words.

'......Shit.....' I think to myself.

"I don't know what your talking about."

"Really, then what is that stain that's forming on your shirt?" she asks again.

'Double shit.' I continue to panic in my head while my face remains calm.

"Oh that! Well um it's paint, yeah. I had a small mishap with a paint can, that's all." I try to reassure her. She was having none of it though. She quickly tackles me to the ground and rips my shirt off to see the wound. "Paint huh?" she says as she looks at the bullet wound.

"Now how did that get there?" I question with a nervous chuckle. she gives me a sigh while she getting back up from the floor where she tackled me. I sit back down in my chair as well.

"Izuku Midoriya. You need to tell me when you get hurt so I can help you or at least to call Granny to come and heal you."

"I'm fine, honestly. It's just a flesh wound."
