Quirkless Isn't Hopeless (Complete)

Ordinary Quirkless Life

The door to the studio slid open and then closed. "Ribbit?" Tsuyu Asui had a perplexed look with her tongue out. Hatsume was passed out on a desk, and Midoriya was sleeping on the workbench. She politely walked to him and shook his shoulder.

"Hm... ugh... Ts-Tsuyu!" Izuku's glazed eyes shot up, seeing the frog hero. "Your suit! Don't worry it's finished!" Izuku sat up to stand.

"Good morning Midoriya. Sorry for bothering your nap. I just wanted to make sure it was ready. I really need it for today's internship."

"No, you don't need to apologize at all! I shouldn't be sleeping on school grounds anyways." He walked to a wide metal cabinet. He pulled out the briefcase that had her completed suit. "I was looking over your suit and noticed some possible upgrades we could add but given the time we were pressed for, I couldn't apply them, sorry."

"Thanks, Midoriya. You're always trying to help us with our suits, even Bakugo acknowledges it." She reached out for the case.

"Er, Kacchan is difficult sometimes but he is always genuine." He cringed. He handed it to her with his right hand.

Their fingers briefly rubbed against each other during the exchange. "Ribbit," In worry. "Midoriya, when was the last time you changed your bandages?"

"Oh don't worry about me, Tsuyu! Besides I get so busy-" He was instantly being dragged out of the studio. "Huh? Tsuyu?!"

"I get your reasons for keeping it like that but that doesn't mean you can leave it unattended. If you don't change your bandages periodically, you could develop a rash." Tsuyu was walking him to the infirmary. "I thought you knew that by now."

"I guess so... Thanks, as usual." He had embarrassed cheeks for being berated by her honesty.

"School hasn't started, so I don't think recovery girl will mind if we change them in there."

"Yeah, you're probably right."

Recovery Girl gave them permission and also berated Midoriya. "Young man, being busy is no excuse to not take care of yourself! Seriously, you are constantly wasting this young girl's time and worry. It's always something with you." And a thwack with her cane to the forehead.

"Ow, ow, ow. You're supposed to heal people not hurt them." He grumbled.

"What was that?"

"N-Nothing!"

Tsuyu had a smile at their banter.

Recovery Girl huffed and left them to head for the staff room.

"Sit Midoriya, start unpeeling it, please." As she rummaged through the supplies. "Here we go." She grabbed the white tape.

Izuku unbuttoned his shirt and pulled his arm from his sleeve. The bandages went up to his shoulder. He was left with the right side of his body exposed. He started at his shoulder and began to unwind it. Tsuyu sat on a chair in front of him. She undid the bandaged fingers, one by one. "You know, you're the only one other than Hatsume, that helps me." Izuku tried to start a conversation. The silence wasn't awkward but it also wasn't comfortable.

"Really? Wait, don't tell me, you wait for either of us to offer too-"

"N-No, Tsuyu! But the workshop keeps me busy. I only really bother to change them when there is a huge rip or something like that. You guys would just occasionally bring it up." He was unrolling his bicep. "I mean, you and Hatsume are the only ones who don't... you know, give me that look..." Izuku's eyebrows furrowed. 'Even Momo does...'

"Because there's no reason to." She always spoke her mind. She peeled the white tape off the palm, eventually unwrapping her way to Midoriya's end. "We should clean this before we bandage it up."
