...
Aino's nails tapped against the controller idly, waiting for Izuku's response. "Hm?"
"Remember how we met? I've been meaning to ask, who did that to you?" Izuku's eyes shot over to Aino, meeting her piercing gaze. He almost missed the way she flinched. Almost. "U-uhm, it was... a friend."
"A friend wouldn't beat you to a pulp on the side of the road Izuku." He shifted his focus, no longer meeting Aino's intense gaze. "It- it was a classmate, then."
The girls fingers suddenly stopped tapping. Her knowing gaze locking itself onto Izuku's figure. She observed him, how he suddenly locked up, how he avoided eye contact, his lack of a proper answer to a proper question.
"...Can I get a name?" The boy shifted uncomfortably, curling into himself, Aino quickly corrected herself. "You- you don't need to answer, I was just-!" Hoping to turn them into the police. "Hoping to know! So I could try and help somehow!"
"I-I call him Kacchan, I can't tell you his real name..." Why? "He really wants to be a hero. I don't want to ruin his chances." He boy sunk into himself further. Aino frowned. How much damage did this person do to you?
"Izukuuu! You know that if he doesn't fix his attitude now he won't be successful as a hero right?" Izuku flinched. "W-well I know that-"
"Then help him." His eyes flicked over to Aino's figure. She smiled at him. "Help them realize how shitty they're being! Anyone who beats up their 'friend' and leaves them on the side of the road, has a low shot at being a hero."
"Kurosawa-Chan, I don't think Kacchan would-"
"Here's a starting step, stop calling them Kacchan. And don't cover for them." The girl smiled sweetly, ignoring the disturbed look on Izuku's face. "E-even if I did try to expose him, the teachers wouldn't believe me because I'm quirkless-"
"Then sue the school for quirk discrimination!" The boys eyes widened. "What?!"
She blinked. "Is your mom quirkless as well?" "No, but-" "Then sue the school!" Aino's expression suddenly dropped to something more... serious. Izuku blinked at the sudden change.
"Not everyone is close-minded, the world isn't that black and white. People will be your friend wether they have a quirk or not, it just depends on how much of an ass they are." Aino suddenly grinned. "I have to go home now! Himiko probably burned down the kitchen again." She stood.
Izuku watched her for a moment before he suddenly met odd green eyes. "Please think about what I said. No one wants to watch you suffer like this." She shut the door.
She picked up her bag resting on the couch, and quickly put on her shoes, jumping at the hand that placed itself on her shoulder. "Aino-Chan..." she smiled.
"Midoriya-San! Do you need something?" The woman shifted, looking conflicted. "Thank you for... sticking with Izuku. I heard what you told him. Thank you for saying those things."
Aino smiled. "No need to thank me, I was just speaking the truth! Goodbye, Midoriya-San!" She shut the door, walking the few steps to her home. She paused.
'You don't deserve the chance to be a hero, Kacchan. Not now, at least.'
