I'm Not Gay - Iideku

He's Fine

It was time for school but Iida didn't want to go. He'd had nightmares since the Stain incident but none this bad. Izuku fell asleep on Iida's bed after he tidied up. Iida on the other hand didn't trust himself to sleep.

His alarm clock went off, startling both Izuku and Iida. Izuku rubbed his eyes as Iida turned off the alarm.

"Did you even get any sleep?" Izuku asked

"Um, no not really" Iida replied.

"I can tell," Izuku said "You look pale, and you have dark circles around your eyes"

Iida simply rubbed his eyes in response, fighting a yawn. He had to prove to Izuku that he could make it through the day.

"I'm fine Izu" He said with fake enthusiasm.

"Promise?" Izuku asked as he pouted dramatically.

"Promise!" Iida nodded.

All class Iida focused on trying not to fall asleep. If Izuku saw him asleep he would make Iida go back to the dorms. Iida looked up at the board, he tried to understand what was going on. He squinted out of habit and realized that he had forgotten his glasses. He sighed and leaned back in his chair, he couldn't pay attention despite his best efforts.

He looked at the floor, focusing on the tile pattern to keep him awake. he rested his head on his hand, making guesses as to how large each tile was. His eyelids began to feel heavy, threatening to fall at any second. Iida finally gave in.

This didn't last long however, his head slipped out of his hand and slammed into the desk, Iida gasped at both the shock of being woken up so suddenly and the pain shooting through his head.

All eyes were pointed at him, he looked at his notebooks to avoid meeting anyone's gaze. He heard Aizawa initiate a phone call. Iida didn't want to listen so he ignored it.

"Yeah, he's a little shaken" He said to the person on the other line.

Aizawa hung up the call and began to teach again, about what Iida didn't know. He leaned forward in his seat and squinted at the board. Slope intercept equations, Iida already understood it perfectly fine so he relaxed back into his chair.

The door opened revealing Yamada, the loud teacher walked over to Iida and asked him to come with him. This is what the phonecall was about Iida thought.

Iida was too tired to think properly so he drowsily followed the teacher to the teachers' lounge.

"Sleep." Hizashi ordered worriedly. Hizashi grabbed a blanket and had Iida lay down on the futon, the teachers' lounge was nicer that Iida had expected. Iida reluctantly laid down and fell asleep almost immediately.
