Breathless (Kirishima x Midoriya)

Part 35

Midoriya's PoV

''Yeah, I felt so comfortable and valid at the dance and when I was younger, I tried to tell Endeavor that I was a girl and that's when the beatings got worse. He would tell me it was a phase and that I was foolish and worthless to think anyone would love me if I continued to say things like that but... I think he was wrong, I don't think it was a phase because I still feel that way. I want to feel the way I felt at that party when I could finally smile and say I was happy and mean it because god did I mean it that night.'' he says. 

I feel tears in my eyes as I smile. ''It's so great that you've finally found yourself, what can I do to help?'' I ask.

''Well we're all heroes so paying for the surgeries and stuff shouldn't be hard, especially with Endeavor's credit card so really, just being here and listening to me. Oh, also, my pronouns are she/her/hers.'' he- she says.

''And your name, do you have any ideas?'' I ask. She shakes her head so I think for a moment. ''Sana, Shoko or Suzuki. They suit you but obviously it's your choice.'' I say and she smiles. 

''Damn, you're good at this.'' she chuckles. ''I like Shoko, it just... I dunno, it feels like me.''

I give a smile before looking at the time. ''I have patrol in 10 minutes but before I head off, are you going to tell the others yet and if you are, I'd be happy to help pay for the surgeries. We should also donate to some charities for lgbtq+ and people who can't afford their surgeries.'' I smile and her face lights up slightly.

''That sounds nice.'' she hums with a smile. ''But you better get going, can't be late for patrol.'' she smiles brighter and we head downstairs. I was about to walk out of the door when Todoroki hugs me from behind. ''Thanks Midoriya.'' she smiles. I wave bye and head off for patrol. First I head to the agency and walk up to the receptionist.

''Hey Aiko, can you find some places that do gender reassignment surgeries, it's for a close friend.'' I smile. ''And if it isn't too much to ask, can you find some lgbt charities? Thanks, I know it's a lot to ask.''

''Anything for you Deku, just wish Ground Zero was that kind.'' she chuckles, typing into her keyboard.

''I've found a few different places, each involved with different charities to do with all sorts of things. Want me to send over everything I've found?'' she asks.

''If it isn't to much trouble, thanks Aiko. I need to go now, have a good day.'' I smile, handing her a coffee. I always get two on the way over because Aiko doesn't sleep much. Her quirk is really handy, she basically knows exactly what to type to find what she's looking for meaning it takes about 2 minutes for her to find information, as I said, really helpful.

She thanks me for the coffee and soon enough, I'm wondering through a dark area of town, throwing my coffee cup in a bin after finishing the last sip. That's when I hear a muffled scream and metal clanging.

!TW - sexual assault!

I head into the close by alley and find a small girl being pressed against the wall by an older man as she struggles to get free of his grip. He unbuckled his belt, dropping his pants before butting a hand to her crotch and attempting to touch her. I run at him, giving a swift kick to the head. He's knocked unconscious immediately, falling the the ground. I cuff him before taking of the jacket of my hero suit and wrapping it round the slender girl.

''You okay?'' I ask and she gives a slight smile.

''Aren't you cold, you're shirtless?'' she asks and I chuckle.

''I'm fine, how old are you sweetie?'' I ask, she's clearly only young.

''Umm, I'm 13.'' she says quietly. 

''Do you feel comfortable talking to the police about what happened or not?'' I ask and she shakes her head. ''Okay, lets go get you some clean clothes and food.'' I say, she's clearly homeless. She gives a weak smile and I help her up before sending my coordinates to the police so they can arrest this asshole.

We head to a close by shop and I find a large tee and some black pants. I pay for them and hand them to the little girl. She goes and changes, while I pay for some chips and a sandwich. She comes back out, still wearing my jacket and smiling brightly. ''Thank you sir.'' she smiles.

''Call me Deku, or Midoriya, either is fine.'' I smile. I check the time quickly again. ''My patrol ends soon, do you wanna stick with me for a while and then you can come to my house. I share it with lots of heroes, you might recognise one.'' I smile. ''Don't feel pressured though, it's up to you.''

''That would be nice, I hope I'm not being a bother. Oh, and my name is Kokoro.'' she says. 

''You're not a bother, don't worry about it and I love your name, it suits you.'' 

She follows me round and we talk for a short while until my patrol is over. I head back to the agency with Kokoro and she hands my jacket back while I change into my normal clothes. I had a long night last time I patrolled so my suit ended up at home but it should stay here. I hand Kokoro my jacket and I put on a loose grey shirt and some black ripped jeans.

''Hey Aiko, did you find anymore charities that support trans people and lgbtq?'' I ask and she smiles back.

''Yeah, there's one where all donations go to people who can't afford surgeries, it's a really big charity that was originally multiple small ones. They merged when they realised that together, their donations could cover so many more surgeries.'' she says with a smile. ''It's really sweet that you're doing this.''

''Yeah, can you donate 2,000,000 from my card please.'' I ask and she nods back. I hand Aiko another coffee before grabbing Kokoro's hand and heading to the door. I'm just a pro at this stuff.

''Bye!'' she shouts and we head back to the house.

''Before we go in, I have to warn you that my friends can be quite loud but you should be okay. What that man tried to do to you, it happened to me and another one of my friends too so we're here if you need anything.'' I say and she gives a sympathetic smile.

I open the door and Kokoro heads in, me following behind. I'm the last one in tonight so I lock the door and hang the keys on the stand before showing Kokoro to the living room. ''Hey, you got any allergies you know of?'' I ask and she shakes her head.

''Not that I can think of... oh, nuts. That's the only one I know of.'' she smiles. ''But can I ask, when you were talking before, you said trans. You support people like that?'' she asks and I nod. ''And... and you help people like that?'' she asks shyly. At first I thought she was being transphobic but now I'm not sure. 

''Of course I do, all people are valid and people shouldn't have to feel unworthy because they can't afford to get a surgery.'' I say and my suspicions are confirmed when she smiles brightly and asks the final question of the night.

''So you'll... h-help me... become a boy?''
