A blind eye

chapter 1

"Is that a tattoo on your face?" in a group of people someone has to ask the same question over and over to him. His white blind eye narrowed to them, he had been asked the question many times now. It was getting a little annoying to him.

"No, it's just permanent ink."

"And now for the final touches..." he opened the lip gloss and gently brushed it along her lips. "Voila." he backed away a few steps, letting her see herself in the mirror. She just stared at her reflection, surprised at how she looked so different from before. Beautiful, that was her first thought. The others complimented her changed looks.

She tilted her head to the left, then to the right. Her eyes sparkled. Her hand went up to touch her face but was stopped by him gently grabbing her wrist.

"Don't touch it," he said harshly. He let go of her hand. "They aren't like some easy going paint."

She nodded. "Thanks for the help, i really appreciate it." she smiled at him.

"Shut up, it's not like anyone else in this room can do this!" his cheeks flushed in pink as the rest of the people in the room chuckled. "Come on Hikaru, we all know you're the best in makeup!" someone shouted and it made his face more pink. "Damn you all, i'm leaving!"

Hikaru yelled and packed his bags. His friends waved goodbye as he marched to the door. "Take care Hikaru!" they all shouted as Luz slammed the classroom door shut.

Luz zipped up his black hoodie as he walked out of his school. He had helped out a girl in his class for her first date with some guy. The girls friends have given him some candy for exchange to perform his makeup skills. He sucked on the life savers they had given them, it was a wonder on how they had managed to find out his favorite candy. He barely even shares his interests in class.

His hand traveled to the back of his neck for his black iguana, Laz. Luz's quirk was a strange one, it was weird on how it worked, but never experimented on it. From what he had gathered information on his quirk, tattoos was the name, it allowed Luz to have different abilities by each tattoo he had drawn on himself. And the teens like 14.

One behind his neck, a lizard-like tattoo, a forever pet iguana. On the left ankle, a black triangle that cancelled out gravity effects for him. Two arrows on each hand that shoot out two black arrows that is 20 inch/50 cm long. The only thing Luz can use as an offence, he feels like Yondu from Guardians Of Galaxy. The balck arrows were like his arrows, but doubled and two. And yes, Luz has to whistle to control, fun. For his last tattoo, it was right under his white blind eye. His right eye was blind. The tattoo helped him concentrate, nothing more.

Luz gagged, quickly spitting out the cherry flavored candy, he went into a nearby alley and threw up some multi coloured jewels in his hands. It was just his side effects of using his tattoo quirks. Laz curled up in his neck and hood, and tried to comfort the teen as possible.

Spitting out the last, a ruby in fact, Luz stashed it in his pocket and walked to his awaiting home.

A hard slap made him lose balance and crash into the floor. He pulled himself into sitting, the man grabbed his hair and pulled his head back. Luz breathed heavily, the urge to scream but gagged instead. Colourful jewels and crystals in his mouth. The man's hand went in his mouth and fished them out harshly. "Great job in providing me more of your sickening quirk son." his father dropped Luz and he hit the floor hard. His long lavender hair was a mess. Luz curled up into the corner and sat there, looking at the clock. "Midnight... and he's drunk 24/7.." he sighed and got up. Picking up his old neatly patched backpack and went into his room of wonders.

Laz activated themself after Luz locked the door. The iguana curled up in their owner's neck for warmth. Luz's room was filled with unfinished work of his hobby, making plushies and selling them on the internet. Even after the rough hours that left him only with pain and bruises, the teen still needed to finish up his orders.

All Might plushies were a popular case, he never had an interest in heroes but they were there. And his clients were mostly made up of hero fans. So Luz just made and gave them what they wanted. Nothing much of earning, but better to pay the rent and groceries because father would rather not.

Luz changed out of his middle school uniform and just hanged it on his chair. His tangled lavender locks covering his blind eye, he fished a hair tie out of his bag and tied it. Going to work, Luz grabbed the nidle.

"What's that?" "that's cute!" "is that eraserhead-" Luz's classmates gathered around him as he pulled out the eraserhead plushie out of his bag to get his notebooks. After school he had to meet up his client and give the plushie in hand. The awkwardness would be something but it was better than mailing the plushie, better the saving better things to get.

"Ah, Hikaru!" The girl he had done some makeup yesterday, walked into class. Clearly happy at the successful dare she had. "Thanks for the help yesterday!" she said smiling. Luz nodded and watched as she walked to her friends. He scratched his chin and readied for morning classes.

"What's this you have, eboy?" The school bully Luz never bothered learning his name grabbed the plushie. The lavender haired teen was never a eboy, but accepted it anyway. Well he kinda did look like one anyway. He looked up at the bully in the eyes. "A client requested it, why?" Luz said in monotone as his classmates around him gulped, worried if a fight would breakout.

"Wait, client? You're selling this?" the bully said in surprise. Luz nodded. "Hand made, extra squishy, selling at $30. Also if you look here," Luz pulled out his phone. "I can make other plushies too, All Might one is quite popular." he showed pictures of the other plushies to the bully. "Eboy, I'll pay you money, could you like...make a Present Mic one for me?" The bully slammed 30 bucks on his desk.

Another client for Luz.
