Warped Assassin Arc
= Chapter 1: Wake up, Rise up =
Nagisa woke up in an unfamiliar place. His head was pounding, his chest felt tight and his throat was dry. He moved his hand over his head, massaging his temples. His eyes squinted open, burning to a bright light. Or was it just the color of the ceiling? It was a clean white.
He was inside…a room? Was he on a bed? Why was he here?
'What happened to me?'
Soon after the thought ran through his mind, he rolled to his side placing both hands underneath his head. He closed his eyes again, trying to clear the cloud in his brain. Once he opened his eyes again, they were able to make out two figures not too far from him.
They were having a conversation but…what were they saying? More importantly who were they?
"Do I really have to be here?"
"Yes, don't you wanna be here when she wakes up?"
"N-n-not, um, really…"
"Huh? Why not?"
"I…I…I just don't, okay! Please don't make me!"
"A hero has to be confident, Midoriya-kun."
"Can't you just tell her it was me, Recovery Girl?"
"No! It has to be you! Now stop whining!"
"Oh c'mon! I get…really shy when talking to girls!"
"Hmm…that explains why you don't have a girlfriend,"
"Don't be mean!"
What the hell? What were they talking about?
"Hush Midoriya-kun! You'll wake her up!"
'Hey...wait a second, is this 'her' that they're talking about me!?'
The blunet was finally able to open his eyes fully but struggled to sit up on the bed. He noticed the other two people in the room stopped their bickering and directed their attention to him. Nagisa met two pairs of surprised eyes with his own azure pair. He managed to sit up properly and return a confused look to the other two.
He opened his mouth but soon closed it afterwards, not really knowing what to say at a time like this.
The atmosphere was beginning to grow awkward…
He needed to say something. Fast.
"Um…" the blue haired teen began, his eyes darting around, finally able to see that the room was an infirmary, "…Hello?"
Well, that came out more as a question…
One of the two people, a short old lady with purple visors and a cane in her hand, smiled and walked over to Nagisa. "Hello there, I'm Recovery Girl. How are you feeling?"
'Recovery Girl? Is that…her name?' Nagisa thought doubtfully. He shook it off. He understood that she was a nurse of some kind. "Oh, um, a little light headed but I've been worse, thank you."
"No trouble at all," the lady said, "but you really ought to thank Midoriya-" she paused when she noticed the other person wasn't there anymore. Instead in his place was a flashing broken outline of his form.
They both turned their heads to the door when they heard it creak open. Trying to sneak out was a boy with messy green hair, big and round green eyes and freckles.
Nagisa sweat dropped.
Did he not want to be here or something?
"Where do you think you're going Midoriya?!" Recovery Girl yelled after him. He flinched and began shaking without moving away from the door.
The greenet spoke with a nervous tone, "Oh…well, I'm g-going to be late for, uh, morning training if I stay here so…"
Nagisa wasn't sure what he was talking about but he couldn't help but turn his head to the pitch black sky outside the window.
"It's nine pm," The old woman deadpanned. That seemed to have caused the boy to start sweating bullets.
Recovery Girl sighed, "You're a horrible liar. Stop you're excuses and come over here already!" After what felt like several minutes, the green haired boy sighed and moved away from the door. He kept his eyes glued to the floor as he slowly walked over to the bed where Nagisa was sitting with a slightly confused, slightly surprised expression.
The boy stopped just at the left side of the bed, his eyes directed to the sheets rather than the blunet. He fiddled with his plain white t-shirt, as his lips pressed against each other tightly.
Nagisa could tell from the other teen's wavelength that he was nervous, shy and a little flustered.
He wondered…
"Are you…" Nagisa began slowly, as to not startle the other. "Are you the one who brought me here?"
The greenet grew surprised at the question, his eyes meeting Nagisa's own for a split second before shifting to the side. "Um…yes," he mumbled a response.
"Really?" Nagisa lit up, "Thank you…uh…"
He didn't know his name.
Recovery Girl spoke, "C'mon chicken! Don't be rude! Introduce yourself!" The teen flinched again before moving his hands to his sides and curling them into fists. He took a deep breath before speaking.
"My name is…my name is…my name…my name…is," He calmed down, "My name is…Midoriya Izuku."
Nagisa blinked twice before smiling.
"Nice to meet you," the blunet replied, "I'm Shiota Nagisa," he then quickly added, "But please just call me Nagisa."
"O-okay," Izuku said before returning the smile, "It…it doesn't hurt anywhere…I hope?"
"Just a small headache," Nagisa admitted with a weak smile, "My throat's a little dry too but… that's about it."
"Oh, well I can get you some water!" Midoriya rushed to the other side and grabbed a glass. As he did that Recovery Girl took Nagisa's temperature.
"Looks like your fever's gone down. That's good," The old woman said before walking over to get some aspirins. Nagisa turned to the two, "I had a fever?" Midoriya came back with a glass of cold water, "Yeah, you did. You were seriously burning up."
"Oh," Nagisa thought.
"But don't worry," Recovery Girl said coming back with a box of aspirins. "Midoriya-kun here helped me nurse you back to health."
"Really?"
"A-ah, it was nothing really…all in a d-day's work as a hero," Midoriya gave the blunet a nervous smile as he held out the glass of water with a shaky hand.
Nagisa sweat dropped again. And what did he mean by…hero?
"Careful, you'll spill it!"
"S-sorry!"
The blunet took the glass of water and the aspirins. He popped a couple in his mouth before drinking some of the water. It was enough to ease his nerves. He couldn't say the same for Midoriya. He was practically vibrating in one spot.
"Maybe you should drink some water too, Midoriya-san," Nagisa chuckled. Midoriya's face turned red with embarrassment.
"I'm…I'm…I'm good, thanks!"
"You sure?" Nagisa asked before taking another sip of his water. Midoriya nodded his head speedily.
Recovery Girl chuckled, "Don't mind him, Nagisa-chan. He's just really shy around girls."
What?
Nagisa had a spit take. As in, all the water sprayed out of his mouth.
"Don't t-tell her that!" Midoriya protested, flailing his arms, but both he and Recovery Girl turned to see Nagisa choking on the water.
Midoriya quickly rushed to his side and began to pat him on the back. "Are you alright?"
"You shouldn't drink the water so fast, Nagisa-chan!" Recovery Girl said.
Nagisa took a few deep breaths, a shadow casted over his eyes, "Let's get one thing straight…" When the blunet finally calmed down he turned to face Midoriya with an irritated look. "I am not a girl!"
"WHAT!?" Midoriya said with shock.
"You're not?" Recovery Girl raised an eyebrow.
"Yes!" Nagisa said as the other male moved away from him.
Midoriya blinked, "Oh…really?"
Recovery Girl mused for a bit, placing a hand on her chin, "So you're a trap?"
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
"Calm down," Midoriya waved his hands nervously, "If that's the case, then sorry for assuming!"
The blunet sighed, "It's alright. It's not the first time, really," he said wearily, "After all it took fourteen years before my own mother accepted that I was a boy."
"Wow really?" Midoriya asked in surprise.
"Yeah…"
There was a long silence.
Midoriya eventually smiled and walked closer to Nagisa. "Well then I hope we didn't overwhelm you too much, Nagisa-san."
Nagisa smiled back, "I should be asking you that, you were shaking pretty hard back there!"
Midoriya chuckled, "Oh well, that was only because I thought you were a girl! I get pretty nervous around girls!" he scratched the back of his head, "Uh, sorry about that."
"I said it's alright didn't I?" Nagisa also chuckled, "Thank you though, for taking care of me."
"It's nothing really, Nagisa-san! It's what a hero's supposed to do," Midoriya said more relaxed this time.
He said it again.
Hero?
"Just call me Nagisa," the blunet said calmly, an unreadable expression on his face.
"Oh okay, Nagisa," Midoriya smiled but it disappeared as quickly as it came when the greenet noticed the other boy's face. "Is something wrong?"
Nagisa looked up at him. "You keep saying 'hero'? Why is that?" he asked. Midoriya blinked. "You don't know…about heroes?"
"Am I supposed to?" Nagisa cocked an eyebrow, "Also…where did you find me? And where am I?"
Midoriya stared back at him for a few moments before sitting down on the bed, "I suppose I could explain what happened."
"Okay…" Nagisa waited patiently for the other to speak.
Something told him, that things weren't they way they usually were and that this Midoriya Izuku that he met only a few moments ago played an important role in solving the mystery of what it was that happened, was happening or was still to happen.
A/N:
My very first crossover story! My Hero Academia and Assassination Classroom! There are so many possibilities for a fanfic like this and I want to see if I can explore some of them. The main characters of the story have been introduced but there's still more to come.
What will happen next?
