MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 1

M:SFH 2 Hope for the future

Compress: The world of villainy.

Shigaraki: If the hero brat actually becomes a villain I can't wait to see how this turns out.

"Hey kid, are you ok?"

Inko: He can't... Mitsuki... he wouldn't... (Mitsuki doesn't say anything and just makes sure to be there for her friend if things go dark again.)

Izuku jumped when the teenager who had been running the counter put a hand on his shoulder. He hadn't even realized he'd been hyperventilating until that moment. He nodded, willing the worker to just go away, but apparently he wasn't that great of an actor because the worker just stood there looking concerned. Izuku took a few deep breaths, both to calm himself down and to convince the worker he'd be fine. When he felt he'd staved off the panic attack he met the workers eyes.

"Thank you for your concern. I think I'll actually be heading home now."

Hawks: Here's hoping that's the end of it...

Endeavor: Unfortunately it probably won't be.

Kamui: Well I hope you're wrong, flaming trash can.

Endeavor: Oh stop with the insufferable nickname already!

The worker nodded and walked back to the counter as Izuku signed out without reading the other messages. He considered deleting the account, but the worker was still eyeing him with concern, so Izuku didn't want to take too long. He almost sighed in relief when he walked through the doors. No doubt if the worker had seen anything incriminating on his screen, he would have called the cops rather than helping Izuku through a panic attack. He pulled at his hood self consciously as he turned toward home. Someone thought he was useful. The thought almost stopped him in his tracks, but he managed to trip over air instead. Someone thought he was useful. Sure, that someone was a villain, but still, someone thought he was useful! That meant he wasn't just a worthless deku!

Bad Izuku , he shook his head. As great as that compliment felt, it was still coming from a villain, a murderer, and murder was wrong. Izuku reminded himself that this was a world he didn't want to be caught up in and he didn't want to associate with murderers, despite the fact that they seemed to be the only ones that didn't see him as a waste of space. Murder is wrong! Izuku didn't want to be a villain.

He just had to keep reminding himself of that.

Toga: Oh please let Izuku be a villain. Please!

Twice: Who are you talking to? Yeah, no, please let him be a villain!

Dabi: If you count Mt. Lady he already is.

Izuku kept his head down as he walked to his seat at the back of the classroom, mentally willing himself to become invisible. Kacchan had been quiet for a few days, which normally meant that an explosion was coming. He was so concerned with not meeting Kacchan's eye that he didn't notice the foot sticking out in the aisle until he was already going down. As it was, he knocked his chin hard on one of the desks and just barely avoided biting his tongue as the class roared with laughter.

"Midoriya," The teacher called out. Izuku felt his hope rise, was the teacher actually going to step in and put an end to the bullying? He had to have seen that guy trip him, right? "If you're quite finished being a disruption, I am ready to begin the lesson."

Inko: Excuse me?

Midnight: How is that person a teacher?!

Mic: Beats me...

Izuku looked up at the teacher from his place on the floor, shocked. The teacher saw what had happened and was still turning a blind eye? Izuku sat shocked for a few silent seconds before looking down at the floor and nodding. He could already feel blood beginning to drip down his neck from where his chin hit the desk, but it was obvious that he wouldn't be going to the nurse's office today if his teacher's initial reaction was anything to go by, so he just grabbed a handkerchief from his bag and held it to stop the bleeding as he hurriedly found his seat as the teacher began to talk.
