Izuku stopped his conversation with All Might to face you in deep thought. He could feel his gut crumple with guilt. Maybe if he had chosen you in his group you wouldn't have been excused out of the arena. Was it a test for you? Did you have a different assignment from everyone else?

"Midoryia? Can you please stop staring at me? I'm tired of being an exhibit today"

Shaking his head he brought his focus up to your eyes, then away.

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean- You know- I'm so sorry y/n!" He bowed his head down to you which Recovery girl tilted back up.

"Apologize later"

"Apologize never" You corrected "I forgave you seeing that anxiety on your face when you thought you had failed your team. That was my apology from you. And don't even think about apologizing for me getting escorted out. That would've happened whether you picked me or not. I broke some rules, then some more" You shrugged.

"Well why didn't you follow the rules?"

You already knew that Izuku only understood what was on the surface of your situation, and whatever the heroes decided to tell the students. There was already some resistance in your head about telling him since he was All Might's pet.

"Today I found out that breaking the rules gets you good weed"

All Might choked on his blood.

Fucking disgusting sight by the way.

"Young l/n! That's very much illegal!"

"Do you want me to tell everyone about y'all's secret? Then don't go blabbing about mine. God, it's like you've never had friends before. An eye for an eye? Leg for a leg?"

Standing up you made your way towards the door.

"Midoryia," Recovery girl caught his attention "You've damaged your hand to an extent where it won't work the same. Now you must find a different strategy for your quirk"

He looked defeated as he rose to his feet looking down at his hand.

"Midoryia-"

All Might and you glance over at each other. The two of you called him at the same time leaving him conflicted.

"Don't worry about it. I know where your priorities are right now" You waved to him before he could explain himself.

All Might cut in once he was sure you were gone.

"Out of all the people that could've found out. That's where all of our trust is instilled-"

"She's good. I know it"

—————————

You made your way down the halls and walked through one of the doors. Your classmates smiled as you walked through.

"y/n! It's good to see you again!" Ochako smiled at you. This drew you toward the empty seat next to her.

"Thanks. I also saw your fight. You were pretty damn amazing out there"

Her face flushed pink at the compliment.

"I'm glad you think so! Those people in the crowd were really getting to me.."

You swiveled your body so your feet were on the arm set of kiri's chair.

"I heard them, and blocking them out was the best idea. When they're down there busting their ass with a great idea backing them up then they can riot" You told her giving her a fist bump. She returned it with determination on her face.

"You're right!"

Kiri put your feet so they would lay comfortably on his lap "So you wanna tell us about the rabbit hole you escaped into?"

The rest of the class started agreeing with him.

"I-"

"The stage has been repaired! Time for our next match!" Kirishima smiled while getting out of his chair.

"I've gotta go. Don't drop any big bombs while me and Bakugou are gone, alright?"

You nodded watching him walk out of the box. Just as he went out you could hear Izuku wishing them luck. He stepped inside and was bombarded with more questions than you.

When he was able to vaguely answer everything you watched him start to approach, but Denki beat him to the punch.

"Sorry Midoryia, this is a gentleman's job" He put your feet exactly like kiri had. He looked almost shocked as he found his new seat next to iida.

The fights went on and on. The conversation about where you went had dwindled into a memory. You watched every single one with more interest than the last. Seeing how each one of them strategized and used their quirk was interesting.

Bakugou may be impulsive, but only when he got ticked off. Before the round even starts one could tell he's at least put a bit of thought into it.

By the time Bakugou and Tokoyami went up for their fight you had stood up

"Listen," Everyone faced you without another word "uh, I'm going home"

"But they haven't even fought to see who wins!" Sero explained watching you walk towards the door.

Of course you knew that. You didn't want Hawks coming up to find you here and everyone questioning you for the millionth time today. It had been overwhelming enough when you came back.

Rule breaking was becoming easier and easier.

"It's going to be plastered everywhere by the time I get home anyways.. oh! And if that guy with wings comes? Hawks? Just tell him where I went. If he's being an ass, Midoryia"

His face completely flushed.

"Defend my name. I know you will babes"

You blew him a kiss making your way out of the arena and on your way back home.
