Y/N
After using my quirk to heal Midoriya and help with the battle training, I was beyond exhausted. You know what they say, 'With great power comes the great need to take a nap'.
... (Rick Riordan anyone?)
Or something like that.
Anyways, after getting home and knocking myself out cold, I was *out*. So unfortunately, I ended up getting to school slightly later than usual, since a certain father of mine hadn't bothered to wake me up, and I'd completely slept through my alarm. I woke up with 5 cats on my bed. After a taking them off gently I go to change.
Skipping breakfast, I glow up my legs slightly and sprint to school, right past the crowd of reporters crowding the entrance. They didn't seem to take much notice of me though, whether that was because of my height or because of how tired-looking I was, I didn't care. However, since I was still half asleep I ended up running straight into the door. It opens up, revealing Iida who looked like he was ready to scold me, but softens his expression when he sees the state I was in.
I was a mess, to say the least. My hair was unkempt and slightly oily, due to not showering the day earlier. Despite, or maybe even due to, getting lots of sleep my eyes were puffy and slightly swollen. My eyelids were half closed as I was still extremely tired.
"Oh.. Y/N, are you feeling alright?" He asks me, looking concerned.
Yawning again, I summon some Purple Flame and use the energy of elegance (yeah that's a thing), spreading it over my face. Iida's eyes widened, his cheeks unconsciously turning a bit pink as my face and hair returned to their typically form, despite my eyes still being not fully open.
"Yeah.." I smile at him, trying to muster the energy to make it bright. "I just overused my quirk yesterday is all."
We didn't have home room yet since Dad was late, so everyone else was chatting inside. I was feeling way too tired to do anything, so I just let my head rest on the desk, facing the wall until I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"A-ah.. Y/N, I just wanted to thank you for healing me again yesterday!" I turned around to see Deku squeak, his eyes looking at the ground.
"Aww, you're welcome Deku. It was no problem~" I tell him, trying to keep my own eyes from closing.
Suddenly, Dad arrives in the classroom and in a mere second everyone is back in their respective seats.
Turn he looks behind me, saying, "Bakugou. You have talent. Grow up and stop wasting it," which only received a grunt. "And Midoriya. Don't give me the excuse that you can't control your power yet. That's going to get old soon enough. Once you clear that hurdle you'll be much for flexible, so I need to see you working on that.
"Yes sir!"
"Today we're going to be doing different," he states, and I can feel the tension in the classroom rise. "You guys need to pick a class representative."
The class lets out a mainly collective, but silent sigh before all chaos breaks out.
"Oh!! Pick me!! I wanna be class rep!" -Kirishima
"I wanna do it too." -Jiro
"My first decree as representative will be for all girls to show at least 30 cm of thigh!" I hear Mineta say, making me uncomfortable again. That was when I decided I didn't like him very much.
"Oh, you mean the position that exists for me." -Aoyama
"That's a leader like position! I'll do it! Me, me!!" -Mina
"Everyone, calm down! The class representative is a position many may want, but not everyone is necessarily cut out for. So the best leader for our class shall be picked by a democratic election.. which is why we must settle this with a vote!"
"But we haven't known each other long enough to build any real trust," Asui reasons.
"Yeah! And everyone will just vote for themselves anyway." Kirishima adds.
"That is precisely why whoever gets the most votes will be the most fit for the position!" Iida shoots back.
"Do whatever you want," I hear Dad mumble, "Just make up your minds before home room is done."
And so we did. I personally voted for Iida, since he seemed to take the idea of being class rep seriously, and since he was the most.. persistent(?) about following the rules and keeping everyone in line. It ended out with Deku becoming class rep with a total of 3 votes, and Yaorarozu as class deputy at a total of 2.
'Hmm.. I can see why people would vote for them, but.. Deku looks like he's going to hurl or something.'
Since it had taken pretty long to get the entire voting process underway, the lunch bell rang almost right after the newly given positions were announced. I tried to give Deku a reassuring smile, purposefully making it close eyed because I was too tired to do otherwise.
And then, it was lunch time. Deku spent some of the time venting his worries out to the group, which didn't mind much, so we just gave him some reassuring comments.
All of a sudden the alarm goes off, and the system voice states that there was a level 3 security breach, requesting evacuation. Students were panicking to leave and I was soon separated from Deku, Iida and Uraraka.
After being jostled and pushed around so much, I felt like I was going to pass out until I found a pair of hands around my waist, pulling me towards the window. I look up to see Bakugou, whose face was a little red. That was when I noticed that he'd removed his hands form my waist and put them on either side of my head and kind of pinning me to the wall, causing a slight blush to appear on my cheeks.
"Idiot," he grunts, turning his face away before continuing, "What were you planning to do, fall asleep and get stepped on?"
"A-Ah no.. I was just a little tired is all," I tell him before sending out a small smile. "Thank you, by the way.. for um, saving me."
"Yeah yeah yeah, whatever you say, idiot."
I chuckled, as he still refused to look at me. 'I'm kind of surprised he isn't yelling or anything-' I thought, but was cut off.
"It's just those d*mned reporters that kept asking about All Might this morning," he tells me, apparently under the assumption I was worried or something.
'Aww.. was he trying to reassure me just now?'
I smile again, gently resting my head on his chest and closing my eyes. "W-what do you think your doing, you d*mn nerd?!"
"You're comfy.." I state dreamily, slowly drifting in and out of consciousness. I felt him stiffen slightly, though I wasn't sure why.
"Whatever.."
Then I heard a familiar voice coming from the end of the hallway. I glance up to see Iida, who was standing atop the exit sign on top of the doorway.
"Everyone, please calm down! It's just the reporters, there is no need to panic!" I smiled softly, before noticing a fuming Bakugou next to me.
'What the..?'
And then things went back to the way they were before just as fast as they'd originally changed. Bakugou left with a 'tch' and walked off to class, leaving me there in the now empty hallway.
Somehow I managed to pull through and make my way too the class room, just as Deku and Yaoyarozu stood up at the front.
"We need to pick the rest of our class's student council, but first.. I'd like to nominate Iida as our new class rep! You all saw how he handled the problem during lunch, and I think he'd be a way better choice than me anyway.." the greenette stated.
Some of my classmates mumbled in agreement, as Iida spoke up, "If you think I am suited for the job, I will do my best to exceed expectations!" He bowed slightly.
"Yeah, if Midoriya thinks he's good than I trust his judgement!" I think I heard Kirishima exclaim.
"He looked like just like the symbol on the exit sign up there too, haha!" By now I was starting to drift off again, so I couldn't tell who was talking.
"You go, emergency exit Iida!" Yelled out someone else, causing me to chuckle.
I shut my eyes, knowing fully well I'd probably get scolded sooner or later, but was too tired at that moment to care. However.. there was a question pricking my subconsciousness that made me uneasy.
Sure, we'd had our fair share of reports at UA, considering it being a famous hero school in all. But in all those years, not once were they able to get through the front gate. Never.
'So what the heck happened this time?' I wondered, as I slipped out of consciousness completely.
