I don't want to go to school today.  I would just stay here... but Mr. Azaiwa would probably choke me with his scarf if I missed. 

He slowly climbed out of his bed and to his closet.  His entire body was shaking and he held his head down.

You would have to be blind to not notice something was wrong.

Tears already started falling from his eyes.  I feel like I'm back in middle school.  He laughed slightly.

Izuku decided he would rather get to school before everyone else.  He quickly changed clothes and hurried out the dorms before anyone else could wake up.

He sat in his seat and laid his head down. I don't get these feelings. I just hope we don't do anything during class today.

He heard a few students walk in and Izuku kept his head down. He didn't want to say hi, he didn't want to smile for them. It was so hard, to put on a smile that he didn't mean, yet so easy.  So easy to lie to them.

A tap on his shoulder interrupted his thoughts.  He shot up in fear.  Who is it?  Do they want to hurt me?

"Why is your head down silly?"

It was Uraraka.

"O-oh!  I didn't get much sleep l-last night..."

"Were you tired yesterday too?"

"..o-oh y-ya!  S-super tired!"

"Well make sure you sleep well tonight okay!"

I doubt it.

"I will!"

Uraraka looked at her friend in concern.  He was stuttering more then he usually does... is it really due to sleep?  I'll keep my eye on him...

Uraraka smiled before returning to her desk.  Izuku wiped the sweat from his forehead before making eye contact with Todoroki.

It feels so wrong to lie to him.  He told me about his life, and I just refuse to tell him about mine?  I'm sorry.

"Hi Todorok-ki" Izuku looked away.  He couldn't bare to look him in the eyes.

"You doing okay Midoriya?"

"Fine." Izuku bit his lip.

"Okay."

Todoroki gave one last look at Izuku before going to his own desk.

Izuku relaxed and was prepared to put his head back down. That was until Bakugo walked in.

Crap. I don't want to talk to him. But.. I have to be me. I am still me.

Izuku diverted his eyes and gripped his knees.  He kept his head and gaze low. 

"Hi Kacchan." His voice wasn't quiet, but it wasn't loud. It was soft, yet shattered. It was begging for help, yet wanting to be alone.

Bakugo stopped right in his tracks.  What the fuck?  He's usually cheery and shit.  Of course yesterday he was a stuttering mess and he wouldn't look at me... but today... he just sounds dead.

"What's wrong with you?" He growled.

"I- nothing."  He put his head back down.  Just please leave me alone.  You'll only hurt me right?

"Tsk- stupid nerd" he spat before taking his seat right in front of him.

"Sit down and shut up," Mr. Azaiwa walked in, "we're doing a unique kind of training today."

"Yes we are!" Another teacher walked in.  It was the R rated hero: Midnight.

"You will be participating in battle against a quirk that could incapacitate you immediately"

"Like my quirk!" Midnight shouted, "one sniff of my quirk and your done!  So what will you do?"

"Change into your hero costumes and meet outside."

"Yes sir!" The class said in unison.

Did it have to be today? Izuku silently whimpered.

"Now that you're all dressed, I will split you into teams of four."

"Team one: Shoji, Jirou, Sato, and Sero"

"Team two: Uraraka, Asui, Kirishima, and Midoriya"

"Team three: Todoroki-"

Izuku toned out the rest of the names. He tried as best as he could to come up with a strategy against Midnight, but his brain was full of fog and he could barely think. I have nothing. I'm useless.

"Thats all of you.  Team one set up. The rest of you stand far away so you're not affected by Midnights quirk."

"Yes sir!"

~

"Battle one, ready go!"

Izuku sat and waited for his turn. He wanted to watch but he was a little far away. His other teammates gathered around and tried to come up with a strategy. Izuku was silent.

"You got any ideas Midoriya?"

"...no"

"But you always have something!" Uraraka cried out.

"...no.. not this time"

"Something on your mind?" Kirishima asked.

"...no"

"I guess we can go with my plan then" Asui chimed in.

Izuku didn't know how the first teams match went because he didn't care. He just wanted to go home and lay in bed. Alone.  I'll just get this over with.. then I can go back to the dorms.

"Match two begin!"

They all hid behind a rock and waited.

Izuku of course, didn't hear a single bit of Asui's plan.

I'll just run around. I'll distract her I guess...

He ran out from behind their cover using full cowling.

"Midoryia!"

"Deku what are you doing!?"

"Guess we go now!" Asui commanded, "Kirishima rush in!"

"Got it!" He hollered.

"Uraraka make yourself float!"

"Done!"

"Get ready Uraraka, I'm gonna fling you over Ms. Midnights head and get her for a surprise attack!"

"Got it!"

"Go-"

"Asui... we got a problem.. she's not focusing on me, she won't let off of Midoriya"

"I guess we can still surprise her"

"Okay!"

Midnight slowly chased Izuku as he sprinted around.  He was careful not to breath in the scent.

"You think you can stop me!" Midnight laughed.

No I don't.

Midnight used her whip to knock some rocks over to him while he was running, In which he tripped over them and landed hard on the ground.

I don't care anymore.

He stayed on the ground with his head down.

"Not even going to fight back?  Well, well, enjoy my quirk!"

Wait... he quirk makes you sleep right?

Sleep...

Dreams

...Nightmares

The aroma floated around Izuku, it was too late.  He had already breathed it in.

"NO" he screamed out.

Midnight and Izuku's other teammates stopped in shock.

"I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP, PLEASE" he cried.

Midnight stared at him in surprise and his other teammates came rushing over.

"Deku what's wrong!?

Izuku grabbed onto Uraraka and held her tight.

"I don't want to sleep" he sobbed.

"Why?" Kirishima's concerned voice cut in.

"I-I don't want...  to s-leep-p...."

"Deku?"

"..."

It was too late.

I apologize for any grammar mistakes, See you next chapter!
