• Shouto's perspective •

Izuku keeps avoiding me and it's starting to get annoying. People started calling me names in the corridors because I hang out with Izu, He thinks that's his fault. The bell rings and I walk up to his desk. "Midorya..." he visibly flinched at me using his last name but it has to be done so he will listen to me. "Follow me, We need to talk." He hesitantly nodded, then followed me. I took him round back of the school. "Izuku, Why have you been avoiding me recently?" I ask my tone being un-porposly cold. His eyes widen slightly and he turns and tries to run away but I grab his arm and he flinched as though he was in pain. Is he hurting himself with his quirk again? I pull up his sleeve and what I see horrorfies me. There are cuts all over his arm and by the looks of things they are self inflicted. "How long have you been doing this Izuku?" He doesn't reply. He starts shaking and tears pour out of his eyes he falls to the ground and cries his eyes out. It hurts to see him like this. I sit on the ground and pull him into my embrace. I then promise myself something.

I will protect him.
