*my art^ this is what I imagine happens to Shinso basically. This is unedited 💖
↫:flashback ↬:end of flashback*

"So uh... why was Bakugou all rage on me today?" He asked while poking his food with his chopsticks. Midoriya sighed and looked over the school. The pair were sitting on the roof. Lunch rush had heard what had happened and put their lunch trays on the back bench to avoid being seen by other students.

"He a-asked why I was talking to you... I told him I asked t-to eat with you again and he disagreed and got m-mad. He said you've used your quirk on me."

"I've never used my quirk on you Midoriya. I never will, especially in a malicious way." The smaller teen let out a small smile.

"Midoriya..."

"Uh yes?"

"I was wondering...what's your quirk?"

The shorter boy froze, quirk was that what he had? Was he born with it or was it the league that gave it to him?

"Um I'm— I'm a banshee..."

Shinso raised a brow "Aren't those the people that have powerful screams that can lowkey hurt people who hear them?" Midoriya nodded "And you're one of them?" He nodded again.

"Were you born like that?" He paused for a second before nodding again. Shinso accepted his quirk as if it was normal... neither of his parents had any quirk related to what a banshee is like.

But Shinso didn't need to know that...

As lunch ended Bakugou was livid, he had spent all of lunch looking for Midoriya and Shinso. So when he found them he immediately set all his anger on Shinso.

"YOU!" Bakugou yelled while roughly pointing a finger at Shinso's chest. Making him stumble back.

"What?" He asked swatting the blonde's hand away "Why are you so obsessed with me Bakugo?" Bakugo clenched his jaw and fists.

"Stay away from Deku."

"Why would I do what you say?" The blonde couldn't hold himself back any longer and grabbed the collar of Shinso's uniform shirt yanking him forward.

Shinso's eyes widened in surprise before using his fight instead-of-flight response "Jealousy doesn't look good on you Bakugo."

"Please stop!" Midoriya raised his voice a little. The taller boys continued to argue and get dangerously closer to eachother.

"PLEASE!" He accidentally used his quirk causing the two boys and the crowd that had gathered around them to flinch and cover their ears.

"P-please stop Kacchan...he didn't do a-anything wrong." He begged, tugging on the blondes sleeve. "Let's just go, p-please Kacchan." The blonde took one last glare at Shinso before letting Izuku drag him away.

The greenette shot Shinso an apologetic look before walking away.

Midoriya sat down on Bakugo's bed pulling at the loose strands of wool from his arm gloves-

"Stop doing that." Bakugo huffed. The smaller teen tilted his head in confusion "...pulling at your gloves, it's making me nervous."

"Making...you nervous?" Bakugo rolled his eyes in annoyance "Yes, you could rip them off at any moment and reopen your scratch scabs then I'd have to deal with it." Midoriya began to bite the skin off his lips and looked down at his feet trying not to cry.

'I knew I was a burden to him...'

"S-sorry."

Bakugo sighed and left the room muttering "I'm taking a shower don't do anything stupid." He sat there silently wanting to go home. His mum hadn't gotten off work yet and both of Bakugo's parents weren't home.

He had no choice to sneak downstairs and out the front door. He took a deep breath in and began walking to the apartment building he and his mother lived in.

For the most part his walk was peaceful until he walking past a house which he had heard screams from.

He made a move to open the front gate, the noise it made when it opened under his hand the green haired boy begun losing track of his breathing, sunk to his knees and clutched his shirt as if he'd die if he let go.

It was cold, and dark when he had awoken. Midoriya had gotten used to "waking up" in these conditions.

Every time he'd open his eyes he'd see a man and he wished he could forget his face, he had blue shaggy hair, his skin wasn't in the best condition and he'd always be grinning.

He'd be sitting at a table with the man, a chess board between them.

Every time he'd wake they'd play one round, but each and every time he'd end up being one move away from the blue haired man putting him in checkmate then he'd go back into an unconscious state...

Midoriya had awoken again at the chess board, the man sitting across from him but with a frown.

The boy gave him a strange look of fear before making the first move. Normally, if he made the first move he'd fall "asleep".

When he had heard a chess piece be placed on the board he had opened his eyes in confusion... he was still in play. And a golden gate had appeared behind the blue haired man.

The teen was one move away from placing the man in checkmate when the gate opened and the table and man disappeared in front of him.

The sound the gate made was so unique... he'd heard none like it, he stood up from his chair which turned to ash.

As he'd touched the handle of the gate he fell unconscious...

~

He'd awaken once again on a hospital bed in a cold sweat and a racing heart. In a bright room which smelled like chemicals and smoke.

Izuku shielded his eyes from the bright lights above him with his hand, he looked around noticing the iv in his arm and all the suspicious items and inhuman creatures standing idle in each corner of the room.

There wasn't anything that gave off the smell of smoke though.

Once his eyes fully adjusted to the brightness he saw a door was open just a crack. Izuku sat up fully swinging his legs over the edge of the bed.

The room he was in didn't particularly look like a hospital room, more like a shed...

He cringed as he pulled out the iv and made his way to the door as quietly as possible to not disturb the strange creatures in the corners.

He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding when he felt burnt grass under his feet.

As he looked around his eyes widened...

"Hey!" Midoriya looked up to Shinso's panicked face "Are you ok?" He pulled him up buy his waist and held him steady.

"What're you doing here?!" He asked quickly checking behind him to the house. The greenette went to follow his gaze but the taller boy picked him up bridal style and ran away from the house that still had yelling coming from it.

"I heard y-yelling..." he finally answered as they stopped at a random park.

"So you decided to open the gate?" The boy shrugged his shoulders looking at his lap Shinso sighed and patted Midoriya's head "What am I gonna have to do with you? You're a mess yknow that?" He lightly insulted before pulling Midoriya into a tight embrace which the smaller boy returned without hesitation.

They both needed a hug at that moment.
