"So yeah, that is my quirk." Moroha said to Izuku as they left the school building.

"Wait... So you are telling me... that your saliva is poisonous?" Izuku said suprised as he reached into his backpack.

Moroha rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, it's not something I am proud... of." He said as he noticed Izuku was standing still behind him.

"Ehm, is something wrong Midoriya?" He nervously asked.

Izuku looked at him with akward smile. "I kinda forgot my notebook in the class. I will be back in a minute." Izuku said as he turned around.

"You could just come for it tomorrow. Janitor doesn't touch these things so you shouldn't worry about it." Moroha said.

"I'll be back in a moment. I promise." Izuku said as he started running.

"Why does it feel like he didn't want me to go there? There shouldn't be anything wrong unless..." Izuku was deep in thought as he was running trough the hallways.

As he was running to his class, he started hearing a faint sobbing. In that moment, his expression of worry became serious. "Oh, they better fuckning not..."

Izuku was almost at his classroom, but he slowed down. "Allright, first I need a confirmation. Just slow and quiet. Nobody has to notice you. I will just stay behind the doors and see what is happening." He thought as he approached the door to his classroom.

"What the hell do you think you were doing bitch." A feminine voice on the other side said.

"Just one day and you are already after Midoriya? You really are hopeless whore." Another voice said as others started laughting.

A loud clapping sound came from the classroom, along with a faint sobbing.

"Allright, that is more than enough for me to step in..." Izuku thought. "But first, I need to plan this. If I mess up, I could make things worse for Miku... Ugh, allright. They don't know I am quirkless, so I should be able to play that card. But I can't just barge inside. That would make me suspicious and Miku probably wouldn't trust me anymore..."

Izuku kept thinking as the sobbing from the classroom continued. "Fine, that should be sufficient. I can't drag this out any longer."

Izuku put up calm, collected expression and entered the classroom. Everybody in the room instantly noticed him and stared at him in shock.

"Ok, here goes." Izuku thought. "Sorry guys. I forgot my notebook, so I had to come back for it..." Izuku said, trying to act embaressed as he observed the room.

"6 girls, 5 guys and Miku on the ground. It looks like somebody hit her... Let's see how this plays out." He thought as he walked to his seat and opened his backpack.

Everybody in the room, including Miku was trying to get grasp on the current situation. One of the girls with short black hair and blue eyes then walked towards Izuku.

"By the way, what are you guys doing here, you know... since classes are over?" Izuku asked, looking for his notebook.

"Oh you know, just talking about where to go now." Black haired girl replied, getting closer to him.

"I see..." He said, trying to sound nervous and put his notebook into backpack.

The girl then hugged him from behind. "Say, would you like to tag along too?" She said in flirty manner, lightly carrasing his chest.

Izuku froze in place. This kind of flirting reminded him of Ochako's behaviour on their first date... and he absolutely hated being reminded of those days. Reminiscing, he tightly clutched his fists.

"My my, did I make your heart skip a beat?" The girl said, giggling as she felt Izuku's heartbeat skyrocket. "It's fine, I wouldn't mind if it is you." She whispered in his ear.

Izuku clutched his left fist so strongly, that it started slightly bleeding. He put his bloodied hand on the girl's hand.

"Let go..." He said in cold, monotone voice as he lifted the girl's hands off his chest.

He grabbed his backpack and started walking away. The girl however noticed the blood he left on her hand.

"W-wait, you're bleeding." She said.

Izuku looked at his hand. "I haven't even noticed... I guess eating explosions for lunch for years will make me slightly numb huh... It's fine, I can use this to my advantage." He thought.

Nobody in the room was moving. Izuku's behaviour was far too strange for them to comprehend and just watched him approach Miku, blood still dripping from his left hand.

Izuku looked at trembling Miku for a moment. "This situation looks far too familiar... This time around however..." Izuku crouched to Miku and offered his right hand to her. "There is someone willing to help you." He thought.

"It's not a good idea to sit on a dirty floor for long Nakano." He said with a gentle smile, still offering his hand.

Miku was hesitant for a moment, looking around the room. Regardless, she still slowly grabbed Izuku's hand and got up.

"T-thank you..." She whispered.

"No problem. Come on, if we hurry we can still catch an early bus." Izuku said as he gently led her out of the class before others could anyhow intervene.

Izuku and Miku left the school grounds together. For a while now, they were walking down the street in silence.

"So, I don't know if this is sensitive topic or not, but what do those guys have against you?" Izuku asked Miku.

Miku simply looked down, as if her mind was somewhere else.

"Don't want to talk about it huh..." Izuku said and sighed.

Miku looked at him. "It's fine, I wasn't expecting an answer anyways." Izuku said and looked at Miku. "Just know, I am pretty sure I can guess what's going on here, so if you want, I could help you out."

Izuku then looked around and saw a bus stop. "I am quessing this is where we say our goodbyes." Izuku chuckled. 

"I will see you tomorrow Nakano." He said and left.
