The girl huffed, brushing her faux white hair out of her eyes. Her grip tightened as she tried to stay upright on the train. She never understood why Izuku never took the train, it was faster than walking...? Maybe cardio?

Her eyes shot towards the window as the train slowed. She strode towards the doors, hoping to get off first. The stepped off the train, quickly fishing her phone out of her hoodie. 'Walk down this street... and then turn to the left.' Her eyes flicked to the top of the screen, a small sigh escaping her. 'I have 40 minutes, and a... 20 minute walk...' She moved forward, her flats tapping lightly on the sidewalk.

She plugged in her earbuds, counting as every minute passed. Her eyes trailed up as she slowed down. She gazed at the clouds, taking in the blue sky. '...Maybe I can take a quick detour.' She turned towards the small bakery across the street, eyeing the sweets in the windows. She smiled. 'One quick detour.'

"Hey!"

Izuku blinked. He watched the students stop dead in their tracks and turn towards the voice. The figure came closer, yelling as they approached. He couldn't hear very well at the moment, what was happening? He saw a small flash go off before the students hurried off. The figure stood firmly in place.

They kneeled down, it was only then he noticed the white hair. "......zuku? Izuku?! Izuku!" He blinked blearily, smiling at the girl. Their shoulders seemed to sag in relief, their eyes closing. "Hey, can you stand? I'm not going to carry you..." a quiet chuckle escaped him. "I can still walk..."

He slowly got to his feet, stumbling slightly. Aino inhaled sharply, frantically taking out her phone. He watched as she scrolled through it for a moment, before dialing a number.

"--The person you have called is unable to answer the phone right now, to leave a voicemail please press--"

"That man never answers his damn phone." She sighed, turning to face him. "I know someone who can heal your injuries for you. It's further downtown but he's good at what he does..." She stared eagerly at Izuku, trying to gauge his reaction.

He smiled, nodding. "The scars actually do hurt this time..." Aino nodded, pulling him towards the train station by the sleeve. "I know you avoid the train a lot- but it's not too bad."

Izuku nodded, speeding up slightly. He gazed forward as the station came into view. A smile crossed his features, giddiness flowing through his veins. "I assume you've never been on a train before?" His face flushed while he stuttered out several excuses. Aino smiled, as they stepped into the station.

The girl gazed around the room, her grip on his sleeve tightening. "It might be packed this time, but it'll clear out when we get there." He eyes trained on a small bench, she tugged at his sleeve. "There's a bench over there if you want to sit down." He nodded, smiling at her.

'I knew his classmates were assholes but...' she spared a glance at her friends, almost wincing at the bruises on his face. 'I didn't realize all of them were that bad...' Her eyes grew distant as her foot tapped anxiously against the tile floor. 'What if we run into someone from his school? I can't just fight them...'
