Bruises and Lunch
The next day you were left to do what everyone else did. You kept your head down and did your school work. Going through the movements and giving open ended answers to anyone who spoke to you. Though your guides for the school were both out until lunch you sigh gently. When the bell rings for lunch you softly pull out your bento box. You had been waking up earlier than everyone and preparing your lunch before anyone would know. You made your way outside and sat under a tree as you used your backpack as a table. Setting your box down and running a hand through your hair. “Finally some peace and quiet for a little while.” You whisper as you open your box. Your favorite food inside. Carefully use your chopsticks to eat it. Looking up and watching around you as you watch Midoryia and Uraraka return. You smile gently at them but then know your moments of peace are gone and your mask must go back on. “Y/l/n! How are you?” Deku asks and you smile softly. His hair was disheveled on his head and he was breathing hard. By looking at him you could easily guess that he had either ran for a few miles or used his quirk. His uniform was wrinkled and shifted from his movements. Carefully setting his bag down and sitting near you. Deku relaxed a soft bit and sighs gently. “I’m alright.” You take another bite just in hopes that he would eat and not question you further. “Oh. Jiro told me you were avoiding others and keeping your head down.” He states and you stop eating to look up at him. “In truth I am still trying to settle in.” You state gently hating how he was reading into everything. You rub your thumbs together softly activating your quirk and breaking your thumbs and then fixing them. Keep your head down as you chew your lip softly. Why did the stupid broccoli boy have to call you out on everything. Why could he not keep his nose out of your business? Oh! Right! He is All Might’s projedity. You swallow as you speak again. “Doesn’t help that you all still have some down time. I don’t, I get stuck with doing everything you all did years ago.” You state and sigh. “Your days end at 4 and mine end at 1am.” You state and lean back, rubbing your head.
“So you have down time now right?” He asks. His head tilting softly as you nod. “Yeah, Usually do when it is lunch time.” You state and put another piece into your mouth and sigh looking down. “Then what would you do in your free time when in America?” He asks gently. You swallow as you think about it. In your spare time you were either beaten to a pulp or were training in some form of fighting. How could you tell that to anyone? You couldn’t tell anyone that you spent free time studying how to kill someone. You had to keep it a secret that you were truly just a wolf among sheep. You had to hide your teeth and your abilities to keep yourself safe. Now you had to figure out more of your untold story. “Usually I was in my MMA classes or stuff, otherwise I would draw.” You state and rub your head as swallow. He nods and smiles gently.
“Then why don't you show me some?” He asks standing up. You look up at him and notice he actually is quite solid and you could still think of exactly what to do to train it to him as well. You stand up and sigh. “I am not gonna go easy on you.” You look at him in warning and he grins. “I don’t expect you to. Just no quirks, deal?” He says and you nod. Nodding you stand up and move. Taking your school jacket off as he does too. You watch a bit and smile. You let the surroundings melt away. The thought of the fight being all that was on your mind. He was a foot taller than you and definitely heavier than you. You knew you needed to use his weight against him to do that you had to get him to either attack first or flip over him. Taking the time you need as you feel the grass give under your feet as you bolt forward. Rather than hitting him you use your energy to leap over him and land behind him. Taking your hands and grabbing his shoulders. Crouching down quickly as you flip him over you. Causing him to land flat on his stomach. Deku coughs and freezes a bit. Looking up at you as he moves his arms and jerks your feet from under you. You roll into the ground and kick his feet from your ankles. Dirt and grass staining your clothes once his grip was loose you jump up. Deku was back to his feet and you launched from your crotch onto him. The extra height you are able to reach a branch from the tree and you grab it, planting your feet on his chest and shoving him back. He stumbles back and you let go of the branch using your weight to take him down the rest of the way. Once he falls you smile down at him.
“HA!” You gleam and smile. “Got you!” You were sitting on his stomach and your legs were on his shoulders. He was looking up at you fully red. His hands out to his side as he looks at you. “Ga...Ga..Glad I could help.” He states. You grin a bit and nod. “Yeah thanks.” You look down at him realizing what position you are in. Your face flushes and you quickly pull away. Righting yourself and he rights himself as well. Both of you are slowly eating now as you were unsure what to say to him.
