Villainy

-Will you train me?-

Izuku POV

It's now the day after I met Dabi,  I still don't really know anything more about him yet. I'm in the middle of class now, I just can't pay attention anymore and I let me thoughts wander, I want to ask him so many things like how he got those scars and his real name! My head is swimming with unanswered questions.

School will be over soon and if I move fast enough to might be able to escape Kacchan, hopefully. The bell chimes indicating the end of school and immediately I get up and rush out in a flash.

"Oi, stupid Deku!" I hear Kacchan call out from behind me, followed by loud thudding footsteps which I assume to be towards me.I can hear him nearing. If I don't want to get hurt I'll have to speed up but everything still hurts from yesterday so I'll be slowed down slightly.

If only I wasn't quirkless, at least I'd have some sort of protection. I guess I can't really change it now so it's best I just focus on escaping for now.

I felt as if my lungs were slowly filling with water, as if there was just less space in them for the air. Inflating them felt like pushing up a lead weight on my chest. I sucked in the air as if it were treacle, The birds still chirped, the gardens were still growing The water was still flowing.

But If the birds around me could sing and fly, and the water could still flow why couldn't I breathe? Why was it so hard? Surely running this much shouldn't be making breathing this hard. It doesn't make sense! Surely I'd know if Kacchan had broken a rib, the pain would be unbearable.

My legs are burning and pleading for me to stop or at least slow down but I need to keep going. Kacchan is still chasing me so until I loose him I can't stop.

There's a block of small stores nearby, if I were to go to them Kacchan might not see me, even if he did he wouldn't hurt me in public so I'll be safe in there.

The first store I see is a florists, so I start to slow down a bit so it's not as suspicious. Gently I open the door and go in, the pleasant, sweet smell of the flowers hits me as soon as I walk in. Luckily for me it's a fairly closed off building and I can hide behind some of the flowers and pretend to be looking at them.

I swing my yellow backpack over my shoulder and place in on the ground, being mindful of the nearby flowers and making sure not to knock any of them over. Then I go to the pocket with my phone in it and take it out, it was there so I didn't have to carry it in my hand and rush dropping in whilst running.

This is so stupid, I really shouldn't have to run from school and go into a flower shop to be safe from bullies. It'd be so much better if this stupid school actually listened and cared! It is what it is I guess, nothing has really changed, it's always been the same. Quirkless people have been discriminated against for years, I really shouldn't be surprised.

I grab my phone from my bag to check on any new news on All Might, there isn't much just the normal questions like what his quirk is and how he's slowing down slightly, and other random questions. Just them I get a message from, Dabi? Last time I checked I didn't even have his number.

Dabi:
Hey Midoriya if you're wondering yes, I put my number on your phone just in case you needed anything or that kid did something to you again

Midoriya:
Oh, thanks dabi!

Maybe I will see Dabi again, I'll be able to get my questions answered too. I hope I become a hero in the future and I can repay him. Still, I don't even understand why he did it in the first place.

Dabi:
Uhh Midoriya what are you doing in that flower place?

Midoriya:
Where are you and how can you see me?
