Taking the advice of my purple haired roommate, I went outside to take a walk. There were so many thoughts drilling in and out if my mind, that I was finding it increasingly hard to concentrate. The amplified noises of the city streets wasn't helping much either. Frowning, I veered down a side street trying to out walk the noises buzzing in my ears.

Of course it wasn't the safest option, but in any case, I always had the gun Todoroki gave me. Shoot and run would be the plan, unless my attacker had a metal manipulation quirk or something along the lines of a shield quirk. In that case, if more than likely be fucked.

Shoving my hands in my pockets, I exhaled a heavy breathe, letting my tensed shoulders relax. Whilst dangerous and other things, the side streets were definetely better than the main street. Sound wise, anyways. I stepped out onto the main road and shut my mouth, wincing as smoke lingered in the air from the factories around. The business district of the city, or in other words, where you come to get free cancer.

Glancing down the sidewalk and through the busseling people, I raised an eyebrow, seeing something familiar. Not peeling my gaze anywhere else, I began to walk towards it, zipping through the crowds.

"Oh yeah? Well what'cha think 'bout a big ol' fuck you, greenie." A man snickered, the two guys parked behind him also chuckling. I was about to walked over there and interrupt when I saw the smaller male pull out an object. I paused, taking a moment to apprehend what was happening.

"Mock me, and I assure you will not be around to tell any more insults, sir." Midoriya spoke sternly,the greenette holding his gun, cocked and presumably loaded pointing at the three men, how looked surprised as they slowly backed away. The ringleader just growled before slipping a cigar in his mouth, grumbling something inaudible, but sounded like a curse.

"Fine, fine. We're just leaving, ain't that right fellas?" He grumbled, not looking at his two companions as nodded soundlessly, both looking particularly agitated. Without another glance, the trio walked away, hands shoved into slacked jeans and backs hunched over slightly.

The greenette, on the other hand, looked particularly pleased and relieved as he sighed. Clicking the safety back on, he slipped the gun back into its holster underneath his belt. With a smile, I walked up to him without the man noticing.

"You seemed to handle yourself well."

Midoriya whipped around, making what resembled a squeal as his eyes briefly widened. He relaxed upon realising it was me and gave a sigh, rubbing the back if his neck.

"Ah, Y/N, you -sstartled me." He breathed, smiling at me as he lowered his hand. "I- um- they w-we're on our territory, so, y-yeah." He stuttered, stumbling over his words as if they were foreign. Giving a suspicious grin, I narrowed my gaze at him.

"You alright? You seem a bit jittery." I comment, watching as he fiddled with his fingers while shifting his weight constantly.

"M-Me? N-Never been better, haha." He trailed off, his laugh dissipating quickly. I sighed before shrugging, stepping closer.

"You can always tell me, Midoriya. I am here for you, really." I gave a smile, trying to calm the male, but I seemed to have only made it worse. He blushed a pink, looking down as he toyed with his fingers.
