A Warm Touch

- Normal school day -

Izuku's POV: (Middle school)

"..."

Bakugo let go of Izuku's hair and trotted off, mumbling to himself. Izuku was visibly surprised.

"Did Kacchan...actually leave me alone...for the first time?"

Izuku thought to himself, looking back at the blond walking away, in disbelief. Yet, he simply shrugged it off, and continued trudging down the path to school.

"Maybe today won't be as bad.."

"Midoriya! How about you solve the problem on the board?"

The math teacher called Izuku up to the front.

 Izuku got out of his seat and made his way towards the board. Bakugo stuck his foot out intentionally, causing the poor broccoli to trip. The class started laughing as an embarrassed Izuku stood up and ran out of the classroom, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment and disappointment.

"...Wow...and I really thought Kacchan left me alone...?"

He thought to himself. He felt dumb for believing that Bakugo would actually leave him alone.

He ran down the hall and slipped into the bathroom, hoping to be hidden from everyone's menacing gaze.

Izuku went into one of the toilet stalls and sat there, the silence engulfing his presence. He felt calmer alone. Not like he was a lone wolf, he just wasn't good around people. 

Suddenly, the bathroom door swung open and a group of students walked in, talking and laughing loudly. Izuku's eyes widen as he realised who the loud voices and laughter belonged to...


Bakugo's POV: (Middle School)

"Stupid Deku, he can't even hold his own balance!"

Bakugo snickered, alongside with his friends. They were teasing Deku about how he fell in class. Then, Bakugo spotted Izuku's red shoes from the the space beneath the toilet stalls and called out to him.

"Oi! Deku! Get out of the stall!"

Izuku's POV: (Middle School)

Izuku stayed put and didn't answer but Bakugo kept pounding on the door, demanding that he would break it and drag Izuku out if he didn't step out himself.

Izuku reluctantly opened the door and stepped out, not making eye contact with Bakugo.

"Look! Deku has been crying! He's such a pussy!"

Bully#1 said as he shoved Izuku down onto the floor. Izuku winced as he sat up and looked up at the three people towering him.

Izuku closed his eyes and held his breath as he feared for the worst...again...

Izuku's POV: (Middle School)

Izuku staggered down his usual path home. His face was severely bruised, his hands and legs covered in purple and red marks.

He sighed as he hoped not to meet Bakugo again. He had already caused enough damage as it is. 

As he reached the front door of his house, Izuku felt dizzy. He wobbled into the house and closed the front door.

Izuku felt more lightheaded as he hobbled into the living room. The world around him was blurry and tilted.

He felt the world tilt but he was able to regain his balance. Everything around him was fuzzy and he couldn't think properly.

He felt the world tilt again and this time it tilted with him. His eyesight went black as he stumbled and passed out onto the floor.
