Transition is something that's been taking a massive toll on me...

It's exhausting... and it takes a while, of course. 

There are days where I feel like completely giving up... days that I lose patience with the lack of progress I've made... days that I simply can't see the guy I know I am.

Days where the process is painful... days where assholes decide to completely ruin my day...

"Hey hey hey...!" A cheery, but douchy voice begins from behind him.
Izuku turns, feeling as though the call was directed towards him.

"It's the confused cupcake!"

His body immediately shrivels up in embarrassment. He feels extremely uncomfortable already.
It's a group of five, all much taller than him, all men who own the exact same douchy, annoying expressions. They scream trouble and public-disturbance, it makes Izuku's skin swarm with goosebumps.

"Hair getting a little long again, ey? Looking feminine again!"

Something shatters inside Izuku. The hairs on his arms, legs, and back of his neck stand at the pronoun. He says nothing, however, he stands there and waits for something actually response-worthy to come out of any of their mouths as he holds a visibly forced neutral expression.

"Tell us! How do you feel about the failed transition?"

Now the anger's building up.

"Wh...- What transition." He grumbles.
"Y'know! That bullshit about changing your gender?"

The whole world seemed to go silent at that moment.
Izuku feels extremely embarrassed... he feels exposed... called out... uncomfortable on all levels...

"It's impossible, twink, girls can't be guys. And you're enough proof-"
"I- I'm NOT a girl-" he chokes out.
"Then why're you about to cry?"

He begins to notice how people had stopped to stare at the encounter. His knees are shaking...

"What do you want from me, anyway-!?" Izuku barked in a hurt yet annoyed tone.
"Look, look-! There she goes-!" One laughs, "here comes the waterworks-!"
"I-IT'S 'HE'--" Izuku cried angrily.
"Not only is she delusional, she's a fucking crybaby too-!" Another laughed.

He feels his entire body go hot with fury, his face endures the countless tears of embarrassment as he stands there and takes the absurd humiliation. 

Until something brute and loud interrupts the group's laughter. Everyone jumps at the sound of large explosions as it erupts from amongst the crowd.

Katsuki slowly steps out from the crowd, eyeing the group with fury in his eyes as his hands are out forward, nonchalant and lazy but alert and steaming...

"I just got a call..." Katsuki began slowly, still approaching at a slow pace, "funeral home's gonna be full tonight." He growled.

"Ohhh did we trigger the baby girl's boyfr--?"
"They'll have a lot of trouble cleaning out the BULLSHIT FROM YOUR BODY, ASSWIPE-"

And immediately... Katsuki lunges into possibly the easiest "five-v-one" fight the crowd has ever seen.
They're baffled to see Katsuki standing up for Izuku... as Izuku is tugged back and into the crowd, for his safety of not getting hit as well, they catch him hyping the blonde up... encouraging the immature behavior as he completely pushes aside recollecting himself from the humiliation.
Blood is quickly shed, and for normal behavior, Izuku would have stepped in to separate the fight and disperse the crowd...

But he's encouraging it.

It's all build-up from stress. 
He feels the need to release the stress... the suffering he's been going through, throughout the week. 
Hell, he'd get a few punches in, himself, if it wasn't for the tremble of his body and the crowd holding him back and protecting him.

But what Katsuki was doing was more than enough... the meaning behind it was what mattered.

●

He'd gotten in trouble, of course... everyone involved in the fight had; Izuku had simply been let off the hook easier since he was the targeted one.

He waited for Katsuki to be released from the principal's office, however, feeling the need to thank him for the save. It'd taken a long fifteen minutes until the blonde stepped out of the office, looking angered and annoyed as ever--

But he'd spotted Izuku sitting against the wall, he pointed at the greenette with a muffled scowl.

"You," he grumbled, "never fuckin' change... alright?"

Izuku stares back in slight confusion as he stands up from the ground. 

"Only you get to tell yourself what you are or what you fuckin' aren't."
"O-Oh-...! R-Right-!" He nods curtly.

He bows respectfully, smiling gratefully as he does so.

"Thank you, Kacchan...-! It-... it really meant a lot to me, what you did out there...-!"

The blonde walks past him, hands tucked deep in his pockets and his scowl slowly but surely fading.
He placed a hand over Izuku's bowed head and ruffled his hair as he continued walking.

"Don't mention it, nerd..."

He gets back up, stiff, and startled as he watched him walk down the hall.

"Don't get in any more trouble, Deku." His voice continued from down the hall.
"I- I won't-!"

He never felt his heart react the way it did, just now.
He felt a new boost of confidence... he wants to continue, now. He looks at the pains and stresses he feels to be minimal.
Because now, thinking of the outcome... he sees an obvious purpose.

Besides... he won't let this confrontation go to waste.
He'll take it as a lesson.

Someone clearly values him enough, for who he is, to have gotten in trouble the way Katsuki had...
He'll show Katsuki that it was just enough to encourage him to continue his path...
