Falling For Freckles

5. Stressed Out

A cool crisp fall breeze was blowing through dark green curls, the autumn leaves dancing around the greenett as he walked enjoying the sunlight on his face.

Things were going well for Izuku, he's been in school three weeks. Job is going good, the friendships he's forming are getting stronger, he even picked up a couple new ones. A purple haired male named Shinso that he works with and a pink haired enthusiast girl named Mina that Kirishima had actually introduced him to who was a cheerleader for the team. He took to her instantly liking how friendly she was, much like Kirishima she made him feel at ease.

He was still trying to get use to the whole social thing and though he still had anxiety and still hid out sometimes, the group he was slowly becoming closer to made had started to make things a little easier. Of course he still had Shoto who always checked on him, he had backed off a bit on his over protectiveness but he still kept a close eye on things, not particularly happy about Izuku hanging around with Bakugo.

So yes things had been going well for the greenett until today that is. He has an extremely important photography assignment coming up and Izuku Midoriya is stressed the hell out. It counts as a huge grade and his photography teacher is tough saying that if any student turns in a project that he feels doesn't meet his expectations could possibly be removed from the class to make room for someone more deserving of the spot.

Izuku was currently walking up the path by the stadium chewing the inside of his cheek was anxiety, his mind on his assignment. There was a voice next to him suddenly.

" Hey Midoriya"

Izuku turned his head to see Shinso step up next to him, keeping pace with his steps. The greenett smiled.

" Oh hi Shin. How's it going?"

" Good, but it doesn't look that way for you, what the hell has your face twisted in that expression?" , Shinso said with a grin.

Izuku stopped short, scrunching his face up even more.

" What? What do you mean?"

Shinso chuckled.

" Its even worse now"

Izuku stared at him, then rolled his eyes at the male with a slight smile.

" I'm just thinking"

" Mumbling too, I heard you down the path" ,Shinso said with a smirk.

Izuku stopped short again, his face tinting crimson.

" Seriously?! Oh god, I really gotta stop doing that." , he gumbled with embarrassment turning his face to the side as he walked again.

Shinso laughed.

" So what's got you looking like that and mumbling like a crazy person down the street?"

Izuku laughed lightly.

" I have a crazy important photography assignment due and I'm just stressing over it I guess." , he explained.

Shinso hummed in understanding next to him.

The greenett almost let out an anxious laugh thinking about what his friend just said,he could imagine he did look crazy, practically talking to himself out loud. Thank god Katsuki hadn't seen him. Speaking of, Izuku's steps slowed as they were passing the practice feild seeing the football players scattered across the vibrant green turf.

His eyes automatically finding a certain ruby eyed player in that to die for black uniform, a football in his large hands getting ready to throw the ball down the feild to a redheaded running back who was racing to catch the powerful throw.
