A/N: Thanks for reading so far. I don't have an update schedule so updates are random. Sorry for any mistakes. Please enjoy! :)
*Boom*
explosions
*Crash*
The cups hit the ground at the sound of the explosion.
"Deku are you alright? What was that?" A worried voice from the other room call.
Midoriya's breath quickens.
"I'-m fin-n-e" He shakily replies.
(Get out of here. G-e-T-O-u-t. Run!)
He runs past the elevator to the stairs. Running till he reached his dorm.
*Slam*
Tears start dripping down his face. Hiccupping up the sobs that he had been holding in. Everything rushed out.
You're safe. No one can get to you. No one has to know. No one will make fun of you. Safe.
He falls to the floor.
Worthless..
Burden.
Not even all might would help
Pathetic
Problem child
No one could love you
Freak
Lie… mom cares… All might cares… My friends care
Lies
No…. T-hey do… ca-re r-igh-t.
Th-ey c-are.
He stands up and flops on his bed right into his pillows.
No one will know.
*Knock* *Knock*
He freezes in fear.
"Deku… I had a nightmare about overhaul… and was wondering if… I could sleep in your room?" A soft voice asked.
After many years of hiding his problems from his mom and from the bullies at school so they wouldn't have more to tease him about, he was able to quickly stop crying and put a smile on his face. He stood up and walked over to the door unlocking.
"Eri, you don't have to worry you're welcome anytime." He said as he opened the door, looking down to see Eri shyly standing there. Her bashful look changed to one of worry as she glanced up at him.
"Deku are you alright?" If it was anyone else saying the name he would have flinched but her soft whisper of a voice saying it bought him a moment of peace before he registered her question.
"I'm F-ine."
Crap I shuttered, maybe she won't notice. She has to buy it.
"You look sad… like you were crying."
"Sorry, I was just… Reading something sad!"
Please buy it.
"Like a story from a book or show?" She questioned as Midoriya led her into his room, gently placing her on his bed and tucking her in.
He laid next to her before answering. "Yeah it was from a… book."
"Ok…" It was silent for a few seconds before Eri spoke up again. "Could you read it to me?"
The only books I have in here are school books, I can't read her those.
"Uh… I don't think you would like the book..." He trailed off.
"Oh…" She looked slightly disappointed before her face brightened again. "Then could you tell me a story?"
"Tell you a story?"
"Yeah! Like out of your brain."
"Make up a story you mean?"
"Yes!"
I can't think of any child stories.
"Sure… Lets see well… A long time ago there was a… lamp… and he… uh…"
"Deku that's not a story." She sighed out. "How about you tell me one about you."
"About me. Like one of my villain fights?"
"No!" She looked exasperated. "One about you when you were my age! And your friends!"
Useless
Helpless
"Well… uh… you see I didn't really have friends when I was your age."
"What!"
"Yeah, my first friend since I was four was Uraraka." He laughed out sheepishly.
"Why? You're so nice." She said looking deeply confused.
"Well… before UA I was..." (I can't lie to her she'll notice.) " I was... quirkless… so no one really liked me." He said looking down. He could feel the sudden wetness sliding down his face before he could stop it.
"Why does that matter?" Eri's voice was watery. "Are they the reason for your scars."
"Quirkless people are just thought of as worthless, freaks to society." He muttered out. "Yeah, the scars came from my classmates."
*Sob*
Eri jumped into his arms. Her tears matching his.
"That's not fair!" She sobbed.
"I'm fine now."
Lie
Eri soon fell asleep crying into his chest. He laid there staring at his ceiling.
Crap. My English homework!
A/N: So I have this and a few other works on different sites and decided to put them on here. This work has 5 chapters already, with chapter 6 in progress. Hopefully soon I finish putting what I already have done on here! After that updates will be slower but I'll try to get chapters out as soon as they are finished.
