Deku-chan

Chapter 3 : Off To Class!

Deku's eyes opened to an unfamiliar, yet comfortable room. He loved all the posters, figurines and other merchandise of his favourite hero; All Might. He smiled and rubbed his eyes, trying to wake up properly.

He climbed out of the bed and with a lazy hop, he went to get a T-shirt...unfortunately all of his clothes were oversized. His T-shirt hung off of his shoulders, almost touching the floor. He somehow wished he had his usual attire...his All Might onesie. He continues rummaging, looking for something like a belt or rope, staple...safety pins, anything to keep his clothes on.

His digging came to and end when it was interrupted by a knock on the door.

Making his way to the door, whilst being careful of not tripping over his own shirt, Deku pulled the door open to greet whoever was behind it.

"Good morning, Deku-kun" Uraraka says happily

"G-good morning..." He replied politely, but hesitantly

"Oh, I got these for you...it's clothes that will help fit you. I asked the support team on campus to help since I figured everything might be too big for you."

Deku's eyes light up when he sees it's a smaller version of the uniform hanging in the corner of his room.

"Thank you Onee-san!" He said with a bright smile and shining eyes.

"O-onee-san??" Uraraka stammered, surprised by the response. Blushing slightly from how cute he was.

Admittedly, Deku could not remember her name, but her caring and gentle nature reminded him of a big sister.

Deku goes back into his room, changing into his uniform, as he steps out, Uraraka kneels down to help him with his tie. She fixes his tie and straightens his uniform.

Deku is standing still and can see two people approaching them. Uraraka stands up and sees them. "Good morning Iida-kun, Todoroki-kun"

Deku is still visibly skittish around everyone, but not so much as yesterday.

"Good morning" Iida says energetically

"Morning" Todoroki replies

Todoroki sees Deku, noticing his faint trembling and brave face. He kneels down, as to seem less intimidating.

"Midoriya" Todoroki says with a gentle tone, quite a change to his usual indifferent tone and aloof demeanour.

"Y-yes!" Deku replies, still intimidated but feeling calmer after noticing Todoroki's gentleness.

Deku sees Todoroki extending his hand.

"Let's go"

Deku's head tilts to the side as to display his confusion. "Where?"

"To class" Iida interjects

Deku is surprised and happy, weary but trusting of his friends, he runs into his room and grabs his big yellow bag, dragging it out unable to completely support it's weight with his small stature.

Iida takes the initiative and grabs the bag

"Don't worry Midoriya I'll carry this for you" Iida replies, flashing a thumbs up

"Thank you..."

They begin walking, somewhere along the way, Deku was holding onto Todoroki's hand as they made their way to class.

As they arrive, everyone is already in class sitting around making conversation and waiting for the school day to start. The enter and everyone greets them, all except Bakugo who seemed invested in his conversation with Kirishima and Kaminari.

Todoroki led Deku to his desk and helped him settle. Soon after the bell rang, alerting everyone to get into their seats. He sits comfortably and pulls out his notebook and some writing tools.

Aizawa arrives... crawling through the door, in his sleeping bag, he squirms in and climbs out of his pseudo cocoon, folding it and putting it off to the side. He stands behind his desk and looks towards Deku, his gaze then fixes on Bakugo.

"Bakugo, please bring Midoriya to the teachers lounge after class."

"Huh?!" Bakugo retorts but his protest is ignored.

The lesson continues on, teaching about different hero roles and how some heroes specialise in certain fields. Deku whole heartedly and diligently took extensive and elaborate notes. A few people commended his effort for being such a good student, surprised that even his childhood self was so willing to learn.

After the initial notes, he begins to review through his notebook, looking at what he wrote down about everyone's quirks.

Class comes to an end and Aizawa leaves, some people stay behind and chat. Others leave, at last the class is mostly empty.

Deku clumsily begins putting away his pencils and notebook as he catches a glimpse of Bakugo.

"Oi brat, we're going" he says harshly

Bakugo continues acting rude, but it's evident that he is waiting for Deku, if he really wanted he could have taken off leaving Deku to navigate his own way.

He hops off of his chair and grabs his bulky bag, hauling it as he walks quickly to catch up to Bakugo's normal steps.

Finally they arrive outside of the teachers lounge, Bakugo announces their presence.

"We're here!" He says loudly as he opens the door

He guides Deku in and ushers him to go in first, Deku trods along and enters the lounge. He looks up and his little heart stops for a moment.

"A-A-A-A-All Might!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!?!??!!?" His eyes turned into stars at the sight of his hero.

Bakugo stands quietly in the doorway watching this scene...
