Chapter Three

AN: I decided to do it from the point of view of multiple characters, Mineta grew up in an abusive homophobic household and was sexually abused by their entire family. Mineta discovers that sometimes they feel like a boy and sometime feel like a girl, has a talent for painting and starts a relationship with Iida and Tokoyami. This next part is about his self discovery and so if you want to skip it, that's cool. Really above is all you need to know if you want to skip the next few chapters

Mineta woke as Iida started shouting that it was time to get up. He groaned, put on his uniform and went to the cafeteria, which was nearly deserted. He ate breakfast, before he went to Thirteen's office. Ze were waiting for him there and ze smiled at him. "Hello Mineta, Aizawa told me some very troubling things about your father and how you view gay people, do you feel the same way about me?"

"It's disgusting, but your not disgusting." Mineta said and ze frowned at him.

"I see why is it disgusting, to be the way I am." Thirteen asked.

"Because it is alright, it just is." Mineta said and ze nodded.

"Alright Mineta, how do you feel about yourself, you don't need to give me a complete answer, but you do need to answer and you have to be honest."

"I'm disgusting, I can't look at myself in the mirror, I hate my body, I hate that I'm short and I hate that I'm a coward. Is that what you wanted to hear?"

"Was it the truth, did you just tell me the truth?" Thirteen asked.

"Yes, you said I had to."

"Alright, everyone even if they hate the way they look, feel like they look beautiful in some clothing. I have a lot of clothing, today you will be trying it on, until you can honestly tell me you find something you think you look good in." She said and Mineta nodded, he went into the closet and stared at all the clothes.

"None of this will fit me." He said.

"Its made to fit you, put it on and the clothes will fit themselves to your body, but you will stay in that closet until you can honestly tell me that you found something you think you look good in." She said and Mineta pulled on a suit, he could barely look at himself. He tried on more clothing, until he was crying, nothing looked good on him. After he finished trying on the male clothing, he made himself try on the dresses and for some reason they felt right, but he couldn't wear a dress. He was sobbing before he found the kimono, men wore kimonos, and he could wear this. He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled, he actually looked good in this. He hung the clothes back up, hands hesitating over a blue dress that he'd tried on, he loved the feel of the fabric against his skin, and he could never wear it though.

He stepped out and Thirteen smiled at him. "I'm glad that you found something, how does wearing that kimono make you feel?"

"I don't know I just like the way I look in it alright?" He asked and she nodded.

"If you want to wear the kimono to dinner, you can."

"Its dinner time?"

"You were in that closet all day, most of the time this exercise takes half a day at most."

"I told you I'm ugly, I didn't look good in most of those clothes."

"You aren't ugly Mineta, no one is ugly, we each have our own beauty." Thirteen said and smiled. "Go now, we're done for today, go and be with your classmates, you worked really hard to find that kimono."

"It was a stupid waste of my time, why did you make me do it?"

"In time you will see, but for now we're done." Thirteen said and Mineta nodded.

He walked to the cafeteria, he bought some food and saw his classmates, and they stared at him as he sat down. "Nice kimono Mineta, I like to wear kimonos on festival days." Hagakure said and Mineta smiled.

"Thank you Hagakure." He said and ate a bite of the sandwich he had bought from the cafeteria. "Thirteen made me do some stupid dress up and this was about the only thing I looked good in. You're looking very good too, you're filling out that uniform nicely."

"Mineta!" Several of his classmates said and Ashido slapped him.

"Don't hit him, he was complementing me, it was sweet for Mineta." Hagakure said. "You actually noticed?"

"You might be invisible, but your clothes aren't, that uniform has defiantly filled out."

"He's a perverted homophobic asshole." Ashido yelled. "I get to slap him if I want to slap him."

"Ooh baby yeah punish me." Mineta said and most of his classmates looked disgusted. "I like it when you slap me, that attitude of yours can be trained, but I think I'd keep your spirit."

"What the fuck?" Ashido demanded. "You like it when I hit you?"

"Why do you think I come back for more baby?" Mineta asked. "Please punish me." He added and groaned as he touched himself.

"Mineta! Do that in the privacy of your room, we do not need to hear about your sick fantasies." Iida said.

"You think I'm perverted, you should hear some of the stuff Iida gets up to, when he thinks no one is listening." Mineta said.

"Why are you acting even worse than you normally do?" Iida demanded. "And I doubt you would have heard me, I am respectful at all times of my fellow students."

"Is that what your calling it respectful? When you cry out Midoria and Todoroki's name in the middle of the night, I can think of many things to call it, but respectful isn't one of them. Perverted and disgusting, abhorrent, gay, you are disgusting and you act like your better than everyone else but your not." Mineta said and everyone stared at him and at Iida. "Your just some sheltered gay wanna be hero." Mineta said and Iida burst into tears running away from the table as fast as his legs could carry him.

"What the actual fuck, Mineta that was way too far." Uraraka said.

"He was pushing me, I pushed back, don't push me, not tonight, Thirteen...Just don't." Mineta said.

"Fine then, don't talk to us though." Uraraka said. "Sit somewhere else, you don't out someone like that."

"He's gay and he acts like he's better than everyone else, he thinks he can boss us around."

"Iida doesn't think he's better than everyone else, he just is more respectful than everyone else. He demands that we respect school property and our teachers." Uraraka said.

"He's bossy and nosey and he should mind his own business." Mineta said.

"Oh and like your so great, you make everyone uncomfortable you know. You run when there's any danger, it's a wonder that you are even still in this class. You owe Iida an apology, what you did was fucked up."

"If gay roboboy can insult me, then he can be insulted." Mineta said and shrugged. "I'm not apologizing."

"He didn't actually say what you fantasized about, not only did you tell the whole class what he fantasized about, but you revealed who he had a crush on. Don't you see how that is wrong?"

"Maybe he'll mind his own dammed business now and learn to not fuck with me." Mineta said.

"What you did was uncalled for and unmanly, you don't go telling other people who your friends have crushes on, or outing them." Kirishima said.

"None of you are my friends, I know you hate me, don't act like we're friends when you've never acted like your my friend. Well none of you except Kaminari."

"I agree with Kirishima man, that was totally uncalled for." Kaminari said. "You don't do shit like that."

"What's the big deal, its not like you wouldn't have found out eventually." Mineta said and they all stared at him. "If he wasn't moaning their names in the middle of the night, it would have been something else that gave him away. He doesn't exactly do subtitle."

"What would you know about it?" Aoyoma demanded. "What would you know about being gay?"

"Oh I'm not a disgusting freak like you, I'm a ladies man all the way." Mineta said and glared at him. "I'm not apologizing to loverboy." He said and picked up his tray. "You are all a bunch of judgmental assholes, who feel free to judge me, but think the same things I say."

"No, no we don't, go away Mineta, I don't want to see you anymore." Aoyoma said.

"Man I thought the way my father raised me was fucked, but this..." Todoroki shook his head. "Man you've got to realize that what your father taught you was wrong."

"I don't have to do anything, you don't know anything about my family, mind your own dammed business." Mineta said and sat at an empty table eating his sandwich, he then went to his room. Iida was sobbing through the wall they shared. Why was it everyone thought what he did was wrong, he'd been taught to expose gays whenever he saw them, so they could get help with their sick fantasies, the way his Father had helped him learn to be a man.

However Iida was crying, wasn't just crying but was sobbing like his little gay heart was broken. Mineta had cried like that many times over his childhood, but something about Iida's crying felt wrong.

He sighed, he wasn't getting any sleep like this and he need to sleep, and in order to be ready for whatever shit thirteen decided to pull on him tomorrow. He scaled the window outside his room and opened Iida's window. Iida was curled in his bed, curled in on himself, he hadn't even noticed Mineta entering his room. Mineta put a hand on Iida's shoulder surprised at how Iida latched onto him seeking comfort as he blindly sobbed, he started to panic a moment, before he remembered that he he'd come here because he felt wrong about his actions.

"I'll stay until you calm down or fall asleep, don't worry its not so bad."

"Wha wha what?"

"I've broken down so many times as a kid, you feel better afterward." Mineta said. "Just mind the hair." He added and Iida continued to sob. "I'm sorry I guess I shouldn't have done that, my dad taught me to do a lot of things and so did my brothers I already decided some of those things were wrong and this was wrong too." He said and hesitated a moment before stroking Iida's hair. "Try to avoid sticking to my hair, I'm no homo like you and I don't want to be stuck to you." He said and Iida stared at him.

"Wh why are ya you here?"

"Because you need someone to be and I was the one that hurt you, I hurt you badly. I know what its like to hurt and I don't want you to be alone like I was alone." He said and Iida continued to sob, Mineta stroked his hair and sang the melody of a lullaby one of his older sisters had sung to him once, before his father had beaten her for babying him. He had liked that lullaby, he sung it to himself when he got to be overwhelmed.

"Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles await you when you rise.
Sleep,
Pretty baby,
Do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby.

Cares you know not,
Therefore sleep,
While over you a watch I'll keep.
Sleep,
Pretty darling,
Do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby." He sang it over and over, until Iida started to snore, the grip he had on Mineta slackening with sleep, Mineta tried to move a moment, but realized if he did then he'd wake Iida. He didn't want to wake Iida and have him cry all over again, instead he fell asleep listening to Iida's snoring.
