6 Chapter 06: Just another day

Emptying his plate as soon as possible, he grab his bag, run outside and shout to his mother "I'm going to ask her for tomorrow before I go to school! See you later, love you mom!"

He could grab the tramway for her house before going to school if he was fast enough but that should be a quick call.

Just in time, he hop in the tram, with only a tiny bit of sweat and short breath. His training really did him good. Normally, he would totally have missed it, being so wet that he could have jump in a pool and that would have been the same and would have breath like dog for the next hour minimum.

Happily starting to see results, Izuku texted Mei to tell her he would past by this morning to pick up something.

Arriving at her house, he knocked and entered before he heard things falling to the ground in a big crash. Going forward to search for the provenance of the sound, Izuku saw pink messy lock of hair caught between the material all previously stored on the shelf now lying on the floor.

"Hey! You got in just in time to help me getting out of here" he heard her say without even seeing her moves slightly.

"How did you even happen to get under all this?! You could have get just badly" he responds starting to move every pieces aside.

"I didn't have a choice, couldn't let my babies get hurt." Hearing that made his right hand hits his forehead while his left hand still continues to pill things up on the side.

"I don't have the energy to argue about that with you this morning. Only came to ask you if you would like to come at my house tomorrow to have dinner with me and my mother? She really wants to meet you and I think you could use a break from tinker your "babies". So, do you want to come?"

"Never!! I can't leave them for all a day. I need to make more of them!"

"Ok, ok. Fine. I will leave you there so you will never have to leave them again."

Hatsume didn't say nothing for a while, then said "Hum, I think I could find some times tomorrow finally."

"Attagirl! It's now time getting you out of there." Izuku smile cockily and started to help her out again, happy to have won for once.

•Later at school•

The teacher finished explaining the new theory soon enough that everybody was set free to talk, study or do homework before going for lunch. Izuku thought it would be the best time read more in the book Hatsume got for him so he reach for it in his bag until a imposing hand land on his right shoulder, causing him to jump scare from the intrusion.

"Aaah? Not writing your stupid note this time Nerd?! It's been long now since I saw you fanboying about heroes! Did you finally learned your place, stupid shitty Deku?!!" Said the presence behind him, pressing his fingers a little more at each word inside his flesh. The boy started to shake the other one back and forth. "Didn't know you had some muscles hiding in there!! Since when did you develop like that?! Last time you were still as skinny as ever! Hey DEKU!! Respond when I ask you a question!" Everyone in the classroom stop what they were doing, beginning to watch the scene, not making even a sound like it will break the moment and everyone wanted to know the following events, never growing tired of this view, like it's natural.

Izuku turn slightly his head, to see two red eyes burning hated at a temperature that could compete against the lava from a volcan. He can't just keep staring a Katsuki like that or he would get beaten for sure. Maybe he could escape by a window fast enough and run away. No! He will just got beat up tomorrow instead. That need to stop now! He need to stand up for himself since nobody wants to give a hand for him to land on. He needs to be brave and confident now or never!! If he can't even help himself out of bullying, how could he saves people?

"O-ow. Could you let go of my shoulder? It hurts already enough by itself from my training and I want to concentrate now" he said while getting his book out of his bag also with a block of post-it and a pencil.

Everyone in the class look like they saw a ghost passing in the hallway, breath stuck inside the lungs, not going out to preserve the silence like it will save them from the certain blast Bakugou will set off.

"Han??! When did you grow balls, you useless shit?! Only because you started training didn't mean you can't respond like that to me!!"

Deku finally snap, not wanting anymore about that useless shit from him! He will not cry again his heart out 'cause some people's words got to him "You're giving me a headache with all your sreaming into my ears. Let go of me now, Katsuki. I will go study somewhere else." With that, he gets up, pushing aside the still gripping hand off his shoulder and take his things out with him.

Everybody stare where Izuku was seconds ago, still not believing that he, their quirkless classmate for years, just told off Bakugou! But the more surprise one was the latter. Maybe cause of the fact of how Deku acted or how he called him. Katsuki. No one beside his parents and untie Inko use it, Deku always keeping up the childish Kacchan names. The sudden change made him angrier than before but he couldn't find the way to make move his leg to follow him.

Finally composing himself a little he let out a "Fuck that shit!" then turn around to take his things to leave for lunch too.
