a hug for good luck (Mashirao to Todoroki)

* hug prompts

the hug takes shoto off guard, and he tenses in his classmates arms before forcing himself to relax. it’s just ojiro, who is honestly one of his classmates that he gets along with best, and he’s wanted to get better at this anyway, allowing touch from those he trusts. but the hug is already over moments after he relaxes, barely giving him time to return the hug, so shoto just tries to give a reassuring smile as the blonde pulls back, wishing him good luck. 

“ thank you, ojiro, i’ll be fine. we’ll meet back here as soon as we’re done. ”  they’ve been through plenty of fights such as this before, much more frequently than they should be exposed to at this point in their hero training, but it was nothing unexpected by now.  “ be careful. “  it’s said as more of an afterthought, but only because he’s not that used to having teammates or friends to wish luck or care to. 

Denki jumps as Ojiro’s tail slams into the wall behind him before turning to face them all. A quick and startled glance at the others show him that he wasn’t the only one to do so. Guilt sets in quickly however as his classmates begin to yell at them. 

If anyone should know how this feels, it’s Denki, not because his quirk is plain, but because he is so often laughed at for the way he acts after frying himself. But Ojiro had never joined in on making fun of him, so what was his excuse? Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn’t about him this time and laughing along with the rest of them was a terrible excuse and Denki knew it. 

He shared a guilty look with the others once Ojiro moves away and bites his lip before hurrying after the other blonde. Whlie Denki isn’t always the best with apologies and isn’t sure he’ll be forgiven- if he even deserves to be- he knows that he owes one. 

“ Ojiro... I’m really sorry! I don’t think you or your quirk are boring I swear... We were just.. poking fun I guess. But that’s not an excuse, we should have said that stuff... I’m sorry..” He feels terrible to have made Ojiro feel bad, though at this point he wouldn’t blame his classmate for not forgiving any of them. He really needed to learn to shut up. “ You do belong here.. “ he adds softly.

It had just been one offhanded statement during training. A joke? Maybe. An overused joke that hurt? Absolutely.

‘Plain as always!’

Tail twitching, it slams into the wall of rock, breaking it into pieces on impact, and he twirls on his classmates. He’s aware the pain is obvious on his face, the hurt from the words clear as day. He’d taken so much of their “teasing”, dealt with their words so often, but he couldn’t do it anymore.

“ I GET IT, OKAY?! ” His voice comes out as a yell, something he never does. “ I’m PLAIN, I’m BORING, someone with a boring quirk like mine doesn’t deserve to be here, I fucking GET IT! ”

It felt like he was going to break, body trembling, and not even he was aware of the damn that finally broke. Nearly a year of being classmates and they still viewed him as this plain, boring guy who was so predictable. He couldn’t take it anymore.

Tail thumping against the ground, he bares his teeth at them briefly and turns his back on the class, storming to the other side of the training area.
