Nevermore to go astray

This'll be the end today



"Just give up already. Drop out and go to a different school. You're not gonna make it here." Yuki shouted at me, as I was jumping out of the way of her ice shards. She was absolutely not messing around today. And she was still extremely angry at me. I had no idea how to fix this, but frankly, at this point I didn't even want to fix things. If she wanted to hate, that was alright with me.

"Just what the fuck is your problem, Yuki?" I replied. It was difficult to spar with her, because we had been friends for so long and she knew how I was normally using my quirk. But I knew how she was fighting as well.

"Language, (L/N!)" our teacher reprimanded me. Of course he had to walk past us just at that moment. I rolled my eyes and activated my quirk on Yuki, making her think that the teacher was actually stepping in between us to stop the fight. Now I just had to keep my focus and get her from the back.

I moved behind her back, but she must have heard me, because just before I was kicking her legs out from under her she turned around and managed to cut me across the face with one of her ice blades. It hurt and burned and stung, but I had managed to make her fall to the ground, now I only needed to hold her down.

I did my best to ignore the stinging across my face and the tears that were welling up in my eyes automatically. My quirk was deactivated now and she knew that whatever instinct she had had was right. But it was too late and I was holding her down. I just had to keep at it until our teacher called off the matches and called for a change of sparring partners. And that couldn't be much longer.

I could feel tiny needles of ice pierce through my skin as Yuki focussed on her quirk, but I figured I would just tough it out. It felt like an eternity until I finally heard our teacher say that the sparring was over and we should take a five minute break and then switch partners. I let go of Yuki and glanced to the side. I was up against Shouta next! This was both exciting and nerve-wracking.

"I hope I scratched you up good, bitch." Yuki spat as she got up from the ground and glared at me. I looked down at my arms. This stuff really fucking hurt. Yuki was definitely a force to be reckoned with.

"You sure did." I mumbled and got up. Our teacher had some first aid supplies with him at all times and I really needed to clean those wounds. Even though he'd probably tell me to stop complaining and get back to training.

"Sensei, can I get some alcohol swabs, please? I wanna get this cleaned up at the very least." I said to him, as I approached him, still looking over all the little cuts on my arms. I didn't even want to know what my face looked like.

"(L/N), what the hell happened? Oyama sure went rough on you, huh?" the teacher said as he saw me approaching. I just shrugged.

"Yeah, I guess. Do you mind if I get some swabs to clean the cuts?" I wanted to know. He nodded quickly.

"Sure, go ahead. Aizawa, what do you want?" he then said. I turned around and startled a little when I saw Shouta standing right behind me. When did he get here?

"Just wanted to check on (L/N). I'm up against her next, so I wanna make sure she properly bandages those cuts." he said. I blushed a little as the teacher raised his eyebrows and looked back and forth between the two of us.

"You seem pretty concerned with (L/N)'s wellbeing, Aizawa." he commented. Shouta just shrugged.

"I don't intend to go easy on her, but she is my friend and she's hurt, so she better get patched up beforehand." was all he said, before proceeding to the small table on which the first aid kit was. The teacher looked at me with raised eyebrows and I honestly had no idea what to say to that.

"Uh... Guess, I better go then." I mumbled and walked over to Shouta, who was getting alcohol swabs and bandages ready.

"Dude, what was that?" I asked Shouta. He just shrugged and gestured for me to sit down by the table.

"He was going to get weird about it. Oyama messed you up pretty good. Can't believe she didn't get banned for that." he replied and took my right arm. He started cleaning the wounds with the swab.

"Ouch, that burns like hell! Also, did you forget that we're taking up all the seats in detention?" I muttered and grinned. I couldn't care less about the burning, because I was honestly over the moon, because Shouta had taken a break and was taking care of me in front of everyone. I was crushing hard on him and this just made my heart beat so fast I thought I might die.

Shouta chuckled and put the swab to the side. He started wrapping one of the bandages around my arm gently. I felt like I was going to die any time he touched my skin. I hadn't really realized how I had slowly fallen for Shouta, but it all became clear as daylight to me very soon.

"We are indisputably the kings of detention. And you're the queen." he said and reached out for my other arm.

"You know you really don't have to do this, right? I can get it done by myself." I replied. Shouta shook his head.

"Well, that's tough, because I want to do this. So just let me, okay?" he mumbled while starting to wrap the bandage around the cuts on my other arm. Would it be weird if I was to kiss him right now? Yes. Yes, it would. Was there anything I wanted more than to kiss this black-haired boy right now? No. No, there wasn't. So all I did was to watch him in silent appreciation.

"Thanks, Shou." I said quietly, when he was done with both of my arms. I was about to stand up, but Shouta gestured to me to stay sitting.

"We're not done yet." he replied.

"What?"

"Your face. I'm not going to wrap it up, but let me at least clean that cut, alright? Unless you want a big nasty scar all over your face." he told me. I laughed.

"You think I'm not gonna be pretty anymore with a scar?" I wanted to know jokingly. He gave me the most serious look I had ever seen on him.

"Of course not. You'll be pretty with or without a scar. Now, hold still." he answered and bent over my face. He carefully started to clean the cut with some alcohol, doing his best to be gentle. It still hurt like shit.

"Alright, everyone, get back to work! Break's over." our teacher then announced. Shouta rolled his eyes and mumbled something under his breath, before stepping back and looking over my arms and my face.

"There. Good as new." he told me.

"Thank you, Shouta. Really." I said to him and gave him a smile. He started smirking widely, before walking off towards the training grounds again.

"You better get ready to get your ass handed to you, (L/N)." was all he said. For some reason that just sounded like music to my ears. It was weird, but somehow Shouta was ten times more handsome when he got competitive like that.

"You wish, Aizawa." I replied, as I activated my quirk on him, but before I could even think of an illusion, he cancelled it out. This wasn't going to be anything where I could win with my quirk. This would be a pure hand-to-hand combat. And that meant I had to try and catch Shouta when he made a mistake, because he was a good bit stronger than me. In a fair fight like this I had no chance against him.

At this point we were just more or less circling each other, neither of us sure when to make the first move. This was insane. I needed to stay focussed on every little thing and it all really just depended on who tired out first, who made a mistake first.

"What are you doing, (L/N)? Let's end this, so we can both relax." Shouta said to me. I shook my head.

"Why don't you end this?" I replied. He smirked, still not moving more than necessary to keep his distance from me. He had his capture weapon, but why was he not using it? He usually would have been quick to do so. Was it because we had been training together before and I was somewhat familiar with the binding cloth? Or was he just trying to freak me out?

I decided to be bold and took a step towards him, to which he responded by leaping at me and shoving me backwards with his arm. I stumbled a little, but wasn't out of bounds or immobilized, but I was distracted. And that's when he finally used his capture weapon, pulling me close to him and kicking my legs out from under me, so I just fell flat on my back. He knelt beside me with a grin on his face.

"I win."
