Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 170 - Face the odds against us

After Kan had gotten all the kids' orders, it wasn't long before the food arrived, and they started tucking in. Aizawa had entered the building at some point, grabbing a small container of fried rice and soup from the stack of delivered food, and he had pulled Ashido, Kaminari, Shinsou, and Midoriya aside to inform them that UA and the authorities have been alerted of what had just occurred, and that they were still in the midst of sorting things out, before he let them get back to their food.

Midoriya really wasn't too hungry, so he just shared some spaghetti with Shinsou, though it was a huge relief that he couldn't taste anything weird in the food, so he was able to enjoy it without worrying.

However, they now had another problem; they had far too much soda and snacks lying around.

If they had known that they would be ordering food from another store, instead of eating cafeteria food, they wouldn't have bought so much food, though in retrospect, if they didn't go to the vending machine, they wouldn't have fought Time Stop, which was the real reason why they were getting pizza.

The UA and Shiketsu students decided that they could spare some time for a short movie, but they had to finish clearing up everything and going back to their rooms by midnight, since it was their last night there. There wasn't too much space for all the students to sit, but with Kodai's quirk, they managed to drag enough mattresses out into the common room to make it work.

Midoriya let out a small yawn, and leaned against the taller boy, feeling the taller boy press his hand against his back, pulling him in closer. He wasn't too interested in the movie, and he wanted to just go to sleep, but his classmates seemed to have fun chatting about the contents of the film with the students from the other schools, and he wasn't about to ruin their fun.

Reiko was settled down comfortably on his lap, with Ryuto huddled down by his neck, already fast asleep, his wing feathers brushing lightly against his collar and neck as the avian breathed.

The small greenette just turned his head, his cheek pressing up against Shinsou's collar bone, feeling the lavender haired boy gently reaching up, running his fingers through his hair.

Everything seemed so perfect.

He wished he could spend the rest of his life like this, completely relaxed, without having to worry about getting killed every single day.

Midoriya knew that wasn't possible, though.

But he could dream, couldn't he?

-------------------------

Midoriya sat down at the cafeteria, gently setting down his glass of Gatorade. His old classmates hadn't spoken to him all day, whether it be mocking him or pushing him down the stairs. In fact, they seemed to just ignore Midoriya outright.

The greenette was perfectly content with that. He could live without them in his life, and the less they bothered him, the better.

He was about to take a sip of his drink when a familiar figure appeared right in front of him, on the other side of the table.

"Hey, loser!" Hareda mocked, sticking his tongue out at the quirkless boy, with Nagai snickering behind him, but before either of them could say anything else, Kaminari instantly whipped out his phone.

"Please do something!"

"Why would we do anything? You were the ones that challenged him."

"You were literally asking to be beaten up. Unless you forfeit, I'm not ending the fight."

That was more than enough to send Hareda and Nagai scrambling back to their own tables, and Ashido slammed her palm onto the table, before reaching her other hand out towards Sero, "Ha! I win! You owe me ten bucks!"
