Midoriya panted holding his arm slowly making his way to Recovery Girl's office.
Midoriya was mentally beating himself up, he let his emotions get the better of him, he was blind to his actions crumbling stone beneath his fingers, he didn't even realize he broke a handful of fingers until his legs collapsed him to the ground while his lungs desperately sucked in precious oxygen as sweat dripped down his face.
"She really wants to leave huh?" Recovery Girl's voice could be heard as he entered the room, Midoriya saw Recovery Girl and All Might standing in her office, the door cracked as they talked. Midoriya glanced away from the door to the empty white beds.
Midoriya suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, his lips parted as he felt his lungs squeeze. Your back faced him as you fiddled with your shirt in your hands, you sat on one of the beds wearing only a sports bra waiting for Recovery Girl to bandage your wounds located on your torso.
"(y-y/n)." Midoriya breathed, staring at your bare skin. A large circle with two smaller circles rested on your lower back, as did long tares in your soft flesh.
"Midoriya?" You asked looking over your shoulder.
"Wh-What happened?" Midoriya breathed as you stood and fully faced him, revealing more damage dealt to you.
"You didn't see the video your friends showed the class?" Your words dripped with salt.
"I-I did but I mean...I didn't think you got this hurt-"
"Not all of this was from the fight against Shadow Jack."
"Then how did-"
"Midoriya?" All Might called stepping into the room with Recovery Girl. "What are you doing here?"
"I-I might have gone a little overboard." Midoriya let out a shaky laugh still holding his arm.
"Go sit over there and I will be right with you." Recover girl sighed setting down bandages.
"Ye-Yes ma'am." Midoriya nodded, All Might breathed taking a quick glance at you before walking after the boy with the messy mop of green hair.
"Midoriya-" All Might called, "-are you alright?"
"Yeah." Midoriya closed his eyes as he smiled, All Might pinched the bridge of his nose.
"You were just supposed to crumble those four rocks."
"Well, I did..."
"But?"
"I did all of them."
"Midoriya." All Might sighed, lifted his hand and ruffed his mop hair.
"Alright-" Recovery Girl walked up, "-let's see what is going on with you today."
"Hello again." Midoriya rubbed the back of his neck.
"How is-"
"She will be fine." Recovery Girl cut in as you walked over slipping your shirt on hiding the evidence from your last fight.
"(y/n) oh my-!" Midoriya deeply blushed, "-I didn't mean to just walk in when your exposed like that! I-I am so sorry I-"
"It's fine." You brushed off; you weren't really that exposed.
"So-" Recovery Girl spoke, breaking the awkward silence filling the room. "-(y/n) what do you plan to do all day while at home?"
Midoriya glanced from Recovery Girl, then to you feeling confused.
"I'll still have classes." You muttered.
"Mm." The elder woman nodded, "True...haven't you considered switching classes, or maybe courses."
"No-" You answered, "-I got my fill of school."
"Wait-" Midoriya looked away from Recovery Girl who wrapped his fingers, luckily, they weren't broken just bruised. "-your leaving school!?"
"(y/n) will be taking her classes online." Recovery Girl filled Midoriya in.
"But-!" Midoriya locked eyes with you.
"Can I go?" You wondered, not in the mood to hear anything Midoriya had to say.
"Mm..." Recovery Girl pondered, "...not just yet, I want to give you one last check up."
"(y/n) you can't be seriously considering leaving school!"
"I am not considering." You stated, "After Recovery Girl clears me, I am going to speak with Mr. Principle."
"What!?" Midoriya gasped, "You can't!"
"Why?" You wondered,
"Because...Because you can't leave just yet!" Midoriya balled his fists. "We treated you so poorly, I-I don't know why...maybe we were just jealous the teachers gave you more attention or something. But this can't be your only school experience!"
"It really can." You said, sitting on a bed a few rows down facing away from the green-haired student.
"No!" Midoriya stood once Recovery Girl was finished with her work. He quickly walked over to where you were sitting, standing directly in front of you. "I am sorry! I should have been more inviting; I should have tried to get to know you-!"
"Awesome." You commented. All Might and Recovery Girl stood stiff as boards, not wanting to ruin the inspiring speech.
"(y/n)-" Midoriya reached out and took your hand in his, "-please give us another chance! I promise I will do our best-"
"No." You said taking your hand away. "I don't need pity-"
"It's not pity!" Midoriya was a stubborn person, his eyes so determined, "You got the wrong impression of our class, I will always be regretful of how we treated you but please give us a chance to learn from our mistakes. We judged you so quickly and that was wrong of us to do so!"
You glanced over your shoulder to see a shocked All Might, he simply shrugged not expecting this out burst from Midoriya.
"Please (y/n)!" Midoriya repeated, quickly bowing in front of you. You leaned back a bit feeling uncomfortable. "Please-!"
"Fine!" You snapped, "Just stop doing whatever this is!"
Midoriya snapped upward, his round face brightly lit with joy.
"Really!?"
"I...well..."
"You can't take it back!" All Might pointed, clearly ecstatic you were giving Class 1-A one last chance.
"Thanks All Might." You muttered, feeling annoyed.
"Well-!" Recovery Girl beamed; "-you two better get to class!"
"Joy..." You muttered not wanting to be near any of those people.
"Aizawa is training today-!" All Might called out to you and Midoriya as you began your way towards the gym. The walk was silent, Midoriya glanced over towards you and your stone expression.
"Thank you." Midoriya said.
"Don't thank me." You sternly said looking at him. "I didn't do anything-"
"I know..." Midoriya weakly smiled, "...and yet we treated you so poorly."
"That's not what I meant." You muttered with a sigh.
"I know it's a bit late but-" Midoriya stopped walking, you turned to him confused as he held out his hand. "-I am Izuku Midoriya! It's nice to meet you!" Slowly, you reached out and accepted his hand.
"(y/n) (l/n)." You said as you two shook hands, Midoriya grinned ear to ear.
----
Midoriya followed you inside the gym your class was training in today. The large metal doors gave you away as you entered the gym. Once again you felt the familiar sting of eyes trailing you, instant regret filled you as you closed the distance to where Aizawa stood.
"(y/n)-" Aizawa slightly shocked to see you. "-you're here."
"I am." You nodded.
"I-" Aizawa glanced at Midoriya who stood beside you. "-wasn't expecting either of you to be here today."
"Well, here we are!" Midoriya laughed holding up an arm. Aizawa studied your face, your slacked shoulders and tired eyes showed how drained you were. Aizawa figured you being here was a mix between All Might's doing and Midoriya joining in.
"Alright." Aizawa called, turning back to the class. "Next round will be Ida against Asui."
"Let's do our best!" Asui, the girl who's quick gave her the characteristics of a frog cheered, she smiled with your class rep as they walked into the middle of the gym floor.
"Begin." Aizawa called.
You slowly took a seat on the gym floor like you had been doing the past month now. You felt slightly full due to the mountain of sugar Recovery Girl fed you while the two of you waited on All Might who came scrambling into her office. The expression scribbled on his face caused you and Recovery Girl to crack up.
It was the first real laugh you have had in a long time.
Ida ended up winning the match, he kindly helped Asui to her feet, the two quickly got off the gym floor so Tokoyami and Hagakure could have their turn.
Tokoyami from what you could see was a peaceful person, he had the head of a bird and for the first few days you couldn't stop stealing peeks at him.
Hagakure was invisible. You wondered if she would be able to control her quirk and turn it off with practice?
"Midoriya." Aizawa called,
"Y-Yeah!?" Midoriya quickly straightened his back,
"What did you break this time?"
"What?" Midoriya blinked, "Oh! N-Nothing sir!"
"Really?"
"Yes! Just a little bruising is all."
"Hm." Aizawa hummed, turning back to the two-sparing students. It didn't take long for Tokoyami to win against Hagakure using his dark shadow quirk.
"Alright, next match-" Aizawa called, "-since we have two late students who can't seem to be on time to class, they both can go next."
"Huh?" Midoriya blinked, looking from Aizawa then to you. "But-" Aizawa turned, his hands crammed into his pockets.
The two of you stared at one another, swapping words no one else could hear.
After a moment, you nodded, lifting yourself.
"Wha-?" Mina's mouth hung open watching you move to the center of the gym floor.
"I-I can't fight (y/n)!" Midoriya gushed, "She is hurt!"
"She doesn't seem to have any protests about it." Aizawa replied, "Why do you?"
"Because..."
"It's your turn Midoriya." Aizawa's voice was stern.
"I can't fight her, it's not right!"
"This isn't your call Midoriya."
"All Might wouldn't want her-"
"This isn't All Might's class now is it-?" Aizawa glared, "-it's mine now get on the floor."
"But-"
"Midoriya-"
"-I seen her injuries!" Midoriya blurted without realizing, "I know she is hurt I can't-"
"If I thought (y/n) shouldn't be fighting, I would make her sit out like I have been doing the past few weeks." Aizawa said, "I know what I am doing."
"(y/n)-" All Might's voice echoed around your head,
"Yeah?"
"If Aizawa lets you train with your class, don't use more than one quirk."
"Why?"
"Just...use the one your most comfortable with for now, ok?"
"Ok." You agreed to do what you were asked.
