(MC POV)
"Thank you." I said as I went back to my seat.
I sit there waiting for the others to leave "Kacchan, are you not comming?" Deku asked as he finished packing.
"Yeah, go without me, I have something to do"
"Oh okay.." He then left with no other issue..
10 minutes later, the classroom was empty with only me and Hagakure.
"I want to tell you something.." I trailed off as I slowly approach her desk.
She was sitting in her chair as she looked up at me, I summon my power as I made my way in front of her seat.
I stopped in front of her desk and I put my power in my eyes. I gazed down at her as her form slowly got revealed to me.
Then..we lock eyes. Her pupil dilate due to shock and her whole body flinched because of the connection.
"I can see you." My red crimson eyes bore down on her green eyes.
"Eh.." A look of disbelief was on her eyes but deep down, I could also see its hopeful sparkle.
She did not make a sound, maybe afraid that even the tiniest noise might wake her up from the reality too good for her
"It comes with my power, I can't explain it..but I can see you" I repeated my words again and this time I got some reaction.
Different emotions flowed through her mesmerizing eyes and face. I could almost feel each emotions of hers..
It was bare and raw, I never paid attention before, but it seems like she did not know how to hide any of her emotions at all..
.
.
She never needed to, as her quirk did that all on its own...No it probably hide away too much...
So her face revealed whatever she was feeling..Telling everything with not a single lie.
Her face was like a mirror of her heart, telling and showing everything she felt. She is easier to read than a book, she was as easy to read as a 5 star review..
In front of my gaze, her expressions and eyes were honest and true, telling me her secrets.
"Wha!?" A scream, but the next part came in like a soft breeze "you.,can see me?"
I stared at her blankly, "Is it that hard to believe " I remove my eye from hers and began staring at different parts of her face..
Then my gaze moved from her face to her body, I stopped longer than I would like at her breast but I manage to move on and lock eyes with her again.
Her body squirmed under my gaze, clearly she had never felt the feeling of someone looking at her so closely, Heck she was not use to someone looking at her.
"I can see you" I said as she blushed, covering her face and letting out a scream yet it was as loud as a whisper.
Her ears got red as she peeked between her fingers. She desperately tried to cover her face from me.
"What are you doing?" I asked as I tried to pull away her hands. "Don't look at me!!?!" she yelled, rather aggressively.
"Fine fine." I said as I disperse my power in my eye and also looked away to show that I could not see her anymore. I also put my hands up in a surrendering position
'Well, this is awkward.' I thought to myself as silence decend upon the room.
'Why would she have such reaction?' I thought before realizing something and facepalm myself internally.
Of course she would get embarrassed, she had never shown her face to anyone, not even she, had seen her own face.
She must've felt naked when someone suddenly announced that they can see her.
Like how you feel shy when you show your face to someone who only see you with a mask on...
or
Like the feeling of nervousness on your first time showing your face to someone you know online.
But multiply that by the nth term..
And to make it worse, she had never seen her own face and her confidence in her appearance is non existent..
..
And my guess seemed to be true as I heard her question.."What do I look like?" she squeaked out shyly.
I thought about that question for a while before answering "Well if you must know, you are really pretty." her face turned crimson.
"You also had very white skin and yellowish green hair." I said as I waited for her to process.
"I have a green hair..?" She said with emotion overflowing in her words. She touched her hair and ran her fingers between its messy locks.
"Yeah, its messy but had an unusual charm to it.." I added with a smirk..
"Can you not see me right now?" She said as she stood up and brought her face closer to mine..I can hear her quick breaths.
"Yes..I need to put in some effort to actually see you." I said as I look at the area around what I thought to be her eyes.
"Oh..I see.." she reign herself back and sit back down, clutching her heart.
"I am glad..that someone is finally able to see me." She said and she probably had a smile while she said so..
"Not a problem, I should be the one thanking you for what I saw. You are truly blessed with a nice body" I nodded and replied..
.
.
.
!!!
I shouldn't have said that..
.
.
I was not able to see her but I could feel her embrassment in the air...she seems to realise what I meant.
"Oh um!!" she stood up suddenly and bowed down and said "Thank you so much but I have to go now."
She quickly leave the classroom and left me alone..
..
..
"Dumbass" My words echo through the classroom and the insult came back to me..
Well..whats done is done..I hope that helps her in whatever existential crisis she had..

(3rd POV)
"Stupid, stupid, stupid.." A muffled voice sound out in a cute room in Tokyo.
The room had many cute things such a plushie, figurines, carpets, dools etc..
And on the bed was an invisible girl with shorts and tank top.
"Why did you leave so suddenly!!" She yelled at herself in exasperation
"Ahh!! So embarassing." She plant her face in her pillow and shouted again..
Tooru was feeling very unknown and strong emotions for the first time..
For the first time, she is conscious about her looks..Was her face okay when Bakugo looked at her?
She did not even use the face wash properly this morning and did not even make her hair..
"Not only that.." Her invisible face turned red..
He had SEEN her when she was naked!! No one had even seen her...So its like 10 times worse and more embarrassing than any others..
She rolled around in her bed, thinking different things, feeling different things..but nothing could ever hope to wash away the smile which seems to be eternally inscribed on her face.
Because...Someone was finally able to see her. It was a wish come true.
And not only that, it was 'him' who was able to see her..
Bakugo, she will admit she really like Bakugo.
It can't be helped, he had done nothing but helping her from the very first day..And what he did today at the cafeteria, that means more to her than he could ever imagine.
For the very first time, someone noticed her when she did nothing to gain attention.
She does not feel invisible around him..So she liked being around him.
And now, that boy can see her!! She was delighted at the turn of event..
It was like a giant boulder was lifted off her heart and it now burdens the weight of unbearable happiness.
Finally, she felt the things which she never knew but always yearned for. The feeling of being seen, and even the self esteem issue that came with it..
It might be simple and not worth mentioning for the others..but it matter a lot to her.
..
She thought back on how Bakugo lock eyes with hers, their talks and the weird thing she felt when she was in her costume, that was probably him peeking at her.
It was embarrassing, it felt weird..Each thought brought her child like shame..
But she was also delighted
..
..
These feelings might be mundane..
.
Her happiness might be too simple..
.
.
But each thought, every feeling, all the emotions..and every second of that moment..
.
no matter how simple, mundane or embarrassing...
.
to her...
.
these little moments
.
those little things..
.
.
It was treasure..
