Lax expression

I recognised this face.

Hitoshi Shinso, 1B student.

"You're Shinso-kan..."

I felt my face heat up instantly, "YOU HEARD ME??!"

He scratched his cheek casually, "Well, you were pretty loud about it."

He peered at you before speaking again, "I heard you were quirkless, what's the deal with that?"

I bit my nail and flinched at the question, "You weren't supposed to hear that..."

He turned to face forward, standing beside me, "I get that."

"What do you mean?"

"Many people thought my quirk was a villain quirk, but I'll show them."

He continued on, "I'll show them that I can be a hero, that my quirk isn't decided based on what they think," he paused for a minute before speaking again, "maybe you should do the same."

I pouted silently, "You don't know me. You can't tell me what I should and shouldn't do when you don't even know my story."

"What's your story then? How can a quirk be that bad?"

"My mom always used to tell me to never use my quirk. I remember she got me a pet hamster once, I was so excited. Too excited. My hamster was dead before I could even hold it. My quirk is difficult to control. It hurts people."

He hummed, "That's why you should use it."

I whipped my head to face him, shocked by his words, "W-what?"

He looked at me, pointing his finger to his temple as he talked, "Your quirk must be really powerful. Train it. Train it until you can fully control it, and when you can, make sure to protect the ones you love with it."

"It may seem like a quirk for harming, but that's for you to decide. You decide if it's for hurting people, or protecting people. That's the thin line that separates villains from hero's. You decide your quirk. Not society, not your family or friends. You. "

I stared in awe at this man, his words felt like the breathe of fresh air just before drowning. His words were so warm, contrasting to his personality. I felt my heart flutter slightly.

He smacked his lips," but that's just me, you do whatever. "

I smiled at him, "That's exactly what I needed to hear, Shinso-kan..."

A slight smile twitched at the corners of his mouth, "Shinso is fine."
The train finally arrived, I looked at him, "this is my ride."

"I'll catch you later, I go on the next train."

"Okay... And Shinso?"

He hummed.

"Is it okay... If you kept the quirk thing a secret?"

"Sure."

I walked onto the train, turning to him before the doors closed, "Hey!"

He called out, I looked at him, doors already closing.

I put my foot out, stopping the door for the gap. His side of his mouth twitched, his eyebrows doing the same moments later. His mouth moved but no words came out. After a few moments he gave up, and pushed out a "Nevermind..."

——————————————————

You smiled and him, you attempted to ask him the question he couldn't say, "Shinso... Do you want to walk with me tomorrow?"

He smiled and stratched his head, "Yeah. Let's do that."

You could tell he had a different question in mind, but he seemed happy with your version.

You removed your foot and the door closed, the train setting off with three passengers inside:

One young and bright student, giddy with her recent conversation.

And two strangers,

With no good intent.
