Return from the Shadows

Summary:

Life hasn't always been easy for (Name). But since she got to U.A. High School, it all turned to the better. There was this one boy - he always seemed like a distant person who hadn't the intention of making any friends. But after getting to know him more and more, the boy with this special, feared power opened up to her more than he thought he would. (Canon-story, following the plot of MHA).

Notes:

This story has been my very first fanfiction ever which I began in summer 2020 and finished two months ago. I originally published it on quotev, but since I've uploaded my other stories on Ao3 as well, I decided to share this Shinso-story with you, too. It helped me a lot with developing a certain writing quality, so my other works are much more refined than this one. Nevertheless, maybe some of you are going to enjoy it! :)

Chapter 1: It happened quiet

Chapter Text

Being in class 1-A was a great thing for sure. I had a lot of interesting classmates and many of them became good friends of mine. Izuku for example is one of them due to his easy-going nature, Uraraka‘s friendliness mustn‘t be forgotten, too, and Asui‘s funny comments always make me laugh a lot. I even somehow get along with the one and only Katsuki Bakugou!

But then, there’s him. This extraordinary boy has intrigued me since the very first moment I laid my eyes upon him. It wasn‘t a big thing, I was standing in the queue in the canteen as usual, when I looked left and saw this purple-hair-coloured boy with those huge eye bags. He looked kind of special to me because of his showing forehead and the way his hair huddled over his head. Bad thing, I couldn‘t muster him any longer since he somehow noticed me staring, so I immediately looked away, being the shy individual I am.

Since then, he just wouldn't leave my head. I find myself looking for opportunities to see him again, but there weren‘t any more times except seeing him briefly in the school corridor while going to another class.

Present ✦

I was just leaving my house, waved goodbye to my mother, and made my way to U.A. High School. Since I wasn’t living that far away, I could easily walk a bit every morning and keep myself fit. The fresh breeze softly caressed my face and the flowers at the wayside made my everyday walk even more exciting - I had an eye for little things and they also lifted my mood. 

Entering the school, I moved my head from the left to the right - maybe I could catch a glimpse of violet hair? 'So, today not either, huh...?‘

“Maybe these kinds of things do really only happen in movies..., “ I mumbled quietly when I suddenly felt a harsh push at my shoulder. 

“You‘re in the way, (Name),“ Katsuki grumbled while passing me and making his way to the stairs. I didn‘t say sorry and only sighed, but as I wanted to take follow, a new figure passed by. I looked right and almost couldn‘t believe that the boy I looked out for the whole time just made his usual way to class. He only gave me a brief glimpse with his tired eyes while he was passing as I still stood in the doorway.

This small sight of his brightened my mood, so I was still a little bit excited while taking a seat in the classroom. But it also led to some nervousness since he sure seemed like an intimidating guy... '... but also so intriguing...‘. I almost face-slapped myself at this thought. 'What am I thinking? I don‘t even know him..!‘ And with that, I shook my head and somehow got to focus on class now.
