Midoriya's POV:
“Fucking Nerd!!!”
I jumped with the familiar loud Voice screaming behind me. Kinda shaking I turned around to see my ash-blonde Childhood Friend with his usual teethed Gaze: “ Do you have it?!” he impatiently asked.
Out of Stress that was caused from his loud Voice, I'm unable to remember what it was what he asked for. That caused me to be even more stressed. Underlined with many 'Eh's and me rapidly stroking through my green curly Mess of Hair, randomly biting the Nail of my Index Finger.
Kacchan scuffed annoyed: “The Homework! Have you my fucking Homework, you where supposed to do!!!!” with that he made a Clap with Fist and open Palm leading to a loud explosive Sound that immediately stopped me from stressing from finding the Answer but raised the the Stress to hand him over want he wanted.
Knowing what he wanted, I opened my mustard colored Backpack, the satisfying, clean Sound of the Zip made me calm a little bit. I grabbed two big Blocks of Paper. One was Mine, easily said as it is smudgy from the Pencil I used to scribble in it, when I was done with Homework and hadn't any other Paper to draw
The other One was Kacchan's Homework he gave me to do for him. So he could go off with his Friends and train his Quirk. It wasn't like I didn't want to help my Childhood Friend. But since it was so much, I was barely able to go out with Occhan and Iida-kun or train my Quirk so I wouldn't keep breaking every Bone in my Body.
On the other Hand. What Power did I have to say 'no' to Kacchan... I guess even Koji had more Balls of saying 'no' to him. If he had this Death-wish that is.
I timidly reached out his Homework-Block to him and he literally slapped it out of my Hand: “About time, damn Nerd!!” For a split Second I could feel his heated Palm, signaling me on how near I was to get the next burned Hand print on my Face. At least People would've questioned if I was Todoroki's secret Brother or something.
“A... always a pleasure to help, K-kacchan” I said with my usual nervous wobbly-smile, sweating like crazy. Kacchan groans “I swear to my Self, if this doesn't get a passing Grade for me. Not even All Might can save you!!” of course my Reaction was cowering in Fear.
“Ah! Come on Bakugo. Neither is this manly nor heroic to scare your Comrades like this”
We both turned our Heads in the Direction the third Voice came from. We were gifted with the Sight of the brightest smiling Man in U.A, Kirishima-kun. Seeing him wasn't hard for me to forget about my Stress for a Moment.
“What do you want now, Shitty Hair?!” Kirishima-kun rolled his Eyes but kept his iconic Smile “All I want is that you keep your Ass moving to Class before we getting late”. Kacchan was about to blow Kirishima's Head off for giving him Commands but got trapped by a Bunch of restraining Bonds.
“Divide this Advice of Kirishima to all of you, noisy Trio and get in Class before make you wash Recovery Girls Clothes for the next three Years” Aizawa-Sensei said with his monotone Voice. Embarrassed and disgusted by the Thought we immediately ran into our Class.
~Timeskip after the first two normal School-Subjects~
I was looking at our Schedule and it seemed we gonna have Modern Literature with Ishiyama-Sensei and it's a Retest to test how much of what he learned us stuck in our Heads. Knowing this I started to rummage in my Backpack only to realize... FUCK!!
Out of all Days it could have happened it was of course THIS ONE where I forgot my Glasses.
I placed me Forehand of my Palm and let out a tiny, frustrated Groan. Occhan who walked by noticed and asked: “What's the Matter Deku-kun?” I looked up to her, stuttering embarrassed. “Oh... I-i-it's nothing much. I j-just forgot m..my Glasses” I explained to her blushing like crazy out of Embarrassment and Social Interaction.
The Brunette hummed: “That's unfortunate. Especially with the next Subject coming on” I silently nodded. She snapped her Finger as she got an Idea “You could asked Iida-kun if he borrows you one of his”. Of course that would be great but well I wasn't good at asking People for help. As soon as I would try to talk to People I felt this heavy, invisible Force that pressed my Lips together like they were glued or stitched together. That was even more of a Problem if I wanted to ask for Help.
I swallowed heavily but Occhan knew me and got the Hint: “ I can ask him for you!!” immediately I waved my Hands like crazy, stumbling: “You-you-you really don't have to, Occhan!” but she already waved Iida-kun to us and he was fastly here. “What is it that you needed me for Uraraka and Midoriya?” he politely demanded to know while saluting and speaking as if he was in the Military.
I tried to explain but Occhan did it for me again: “ Deku forgot his Glasses an-” “Oh No! That needs to be fixed!” Iida-kun interrupted and pulled out a big Suitcase. These big Once you usually saw in Action-Movies. But instead of Money there endless-seemingly Rows of fine sorted Glasses are in it.
Occhan and I already have seen the Insights of his Suitcase many Times but it flabbergasted us again and again. He started to explain each one with their Strengths and Weaknesses. I stopped his Speech flow and just said: “I..I really just need Glasses to read, please”. “Yes Midoriya” with that he gave me one. “Th-thank you, Iida-kun” I said as I took his Glasses. He saluted again and answered “It's the Duty of a Hero to help his Friend in Need” his Glasses flashed as if it was on Command. I gave little Giggles.
The Glasses were a bit big and slipped every now and then but they were enough to read and write. So the Test went pretty smooth for me... I hope.
~Timeskip to Lunch-Break~
Again I ended up with the Leftovers as I was too shy saying 'no' to my Classmates when they asked if they could go forwards. I was too afraid of disappointing them or make them mad and then of course there was also Kacchan.
This was a daily Routine for me. With that much Confidence that I have it was impossible to stand up for myself. I cannot even explain my Mother that it's impossible to pause an Online Game when she's done with Food.
How was I supposed to become a Hero and stand up for People in Need, when I wasn't not able to stand up for myself in my Time of Needs. That was It for me. I needed to find a Way to boost my Confidence and restrain my Social Anxiety. But how am I gonna do it?
For sure it would be unthinkable for me to make this alone, I needed help. But Occhan was currently very busy with finding a financial Agency to work for in the Future and Iida-kun was busy with his Position as Class Representative. I didn't really knew most of my other Classmates enough, were also busy or just had other Plans and Kacchan... well was Kacchan.. and hated me.
So there was actually only one Hope in my Mind.
“Uh.. Kirishima-kun?..”
