Chapter 1

Very shounen

That is Seiko's first impression of the boy next door, their new neighbour. His hairstyle, the sharp look in his eyes, that slouched pose of his that screams 'You-Don't-Want-To-Mess-With-Me'. These physical traits are very shounen. Seiko is not sure if she wants to find out what kind of personality this guy have. Something about him just screams 'delinquent'. His hairstyle is just so... Loud. It's light blonde, messy and have volume. Already she can picture her mother asking his permission to take pictures. The guy looks like someone straight out of a comic book.

Her attention turns to a woman who just stepped outside from the house. She have the same blonde, poofy hair as the boy. She must be his mother. Seiko sipped her strawberry milk as the mother scold her son over something. She winced when the boy yelled 'F*ck' easily, earning a hand chop from his mother. Those two exchange insults before the woman turn her attention to them. Her eyes scanned over the amount of boxes, the moving company trucks, the working men, her parents and then her. Seiko give her a polite smile. The older woman smile in return.

As if on cue, her parents goes over the fences keeping the two houses separate. Seiko quickly finishes her strawberry milk, knowing her parents will call her over.

"Seiko! Come over here! Introduce yourself to our new neighbours!" Her mother beckoned her over. See? Seiko put down her strawberry milk on the steps before joining them. Mom then proceed to introduce their new neighbours. "This is our new neighbour Bakugou Hisana-san and her son Katsuki-kun."

"My name is Manaka Seiko. I'll be in your care," Seiko respectfully bow to them.

Hisana's eyes shined in interest. "Oh my! What a polite child! Katsuki, you should take example of Seiko-san here."

"Keh," Bakugou Katsuki turn his head away, "I'm not interested in taking example from some shitty girl."

Hisana proceed to smack her son's head, "How many times have I told you to be polite, you little punk! I'm sorry about my son. I've been trying to teach him some manners but he insisted on being like this," Hisana-san give them an apologetic smile.

"Quit hitting me you old hag! Ow!" Bakugou winced after his mother hit him again. The Manaka family can only stand there awkwardly as mother and son have a verbal fight. Their new neighbours are certainly... High spirited.

Help come from an unexpected source. A worker from the moving company approaches them, "Manaka-san, I think that's the last of it. We will start assembling some of the furnitures if that is all right with you."

"Oh! Yes, yes...," Her father step away from the group to talk some more with the movers.

"Bakugou-san?" Kokoro, Seiko's mother, grab the attention of their new neighbours. "We will go back to our work now. There are still so many things to do. It's really nice to meet you though."

Hisana give them a wide smile, "Likewise! We should have dinner together once your house is set up!"

Kokoro smiles gratefully. "Oh! That's a great idea!"

Bakugou is not amused with the idea. "Why are you suddenly being all nice you shitty old hag?!"

"Stop calling me that, you punk!"

The Manakas hurriedly excuse themselves. Once they are inside their new home, Kokoro let out a nervous laugh. "Our new neighbours sure is something else huh?"

Seiko resists the urge to massage her temple, "Let's get back to work." She gaze over the piles of boxes in the middle of the living room.

It took three days for the Manakas to unpack everything and set up their new house. Kokoro's assistants came to help, so Seiko can rest easy. Their new home is closer to her middle school, which is a plus. Their new home have an office, which will be used for by her mother and her assistants. As promised, the Bakugou household invited them for dinner. Seiko meet Hisana's husband for the first time. Bakugou Hiroshi is a bespectacled man with dark hair. His eyes looks kinder compared to Katsuki. Clearly their son takes after Hisana-san the most.

Katsuki scowled when he caught sight of them at their doorsteps. Seiko wonder if he have always been this bad tempered. She never saw him with any other expression on his face. The boy outright glare at her when they find out that their windows are just a few feet away from each other. Must be puberty. He left before Seiko can do as much as wave. Now he keep his curtains half closed. The two teens are seated facing each other. There are no curtains on the table so like it or not, Seiko and Katsuki will have to exchange words here and there.

"So, Kokoro-san and Shun-san, what do you guys do for a living?" Hiroshi asked first.

"My husband is your regular salaryman. Because his Quirk is teleportation, his company always call him whenever there's an emergency because they know he will be come in a jiffy," Kokoro answered.

"My Quirk is pretty neat but because of it, I can't afford to get late. On the flip side, I have now visited all 47 prefectures of Japan!" Shun said happily.

"Oh really? So you've been to..."

Seiko can't help but smile as she watch the adults get along. Katsuki didn't say anything, just munching on his food. Then her father turn to ask Katsuki. "Katsuki is it? What kind of Quirk do you have?"

For the first time, Seiko saw him smile. Or a confident grin for that matter. Katsuki drop his utensils and stood on his seat. Ignoring his mother's scolding, he raises his hands. A fire is lit on his palms. A fire Quirk? "My Quirk is Explosion! I can ignite explosions from my palms!" He exclaimed proudly. He then look at them expectantly. Is he waiting for them to...?

"Oooh that's a very powerful Quirk!" Kokoro looked in awe. Katsuki grinned wider at the compliment. "Very shounen!" See? Her mother agrees with her in that regard. "Katsuki-kun! If it's all right with you, may I take pictures of you?" A digital camera magically appear in her hands.

Seiko shoot the Bakugous an apologetic look. "I apologise for my mother. She works as a mangaka so she always take pictures for references."

Katsuki grins wider hearing that. "I don't mind."

Hisana pushed his head down, forcing him to take a seat. "After we eat finished eating dinner, you dolt. So, Kokoro-san, you're a mangaka?" How she keep a happy smile on her face while she hold down her son is a wonder. This is a sight straight out from comic books. It's comedic in paper but in person... Well, this is something. Katsuki mutter insults under his breath, causing Hisana to tighten her grip.

Dinner continues with the two women chatting animatedly. To their mutual surprise, Hisana was once a fan of Kokoro's mangas back in the day. Kokoro started her debut when she was in high school and Hisana read her work since until college. They squeal in delight and the conversation take a turn to reminiscing their girlhood days. Shun and Hiroshi can only chuckled at their wives' antics and proceed to have a small conversation. Seiko look at the adults' faces one by one. They are enjoying themselves. Seiko's pink eyes meet Katsuki's red.

"So Bakugou-san, which school do you go to? I'm going to Kanzan Junior High School." Seiko starts the conversation.

"I go to Susono Junior High," Katsuki takes a sip of his water. "It's just a normal school. Nothing special. But because of that, it will be a perfect piece for my story when I become the first person from Susono to be accepted at U.A."

Like many youths their age, Katsuki is aiming to become a hero. "That's great," Seiko said genuinely. "I still don't know what I want to be in the future."

"Heh, you're just another side character. It doesn't matter how high you aim for," Katsuki pointed his utensils at her with a condescending grin on his face.

Seiko's temper flare hearing that. Hisana slapped her son on the back of the head. Again. "Seiko-san, I apologise for my son. Clearly we failed to drill politeness into his head enough. Ever since he discovered his Quirk, he let the compliments get into his head too much. Now apologise to our guests, Katsuki. That was very rude."

"Why should I? It's true! Ugh-!" Hisana-san pushed down Katsuki's head again.

"There is no need for you to apologise, Hisana-san," Seiko said. "Is your Quirk all there is about you, Bakugou-san? Doesn't that make you a one dimensional character? Those are even worse than side characters. Isn't that right Mother?" She nudged Kokoro with her elbow. "A real life one dimensional person in three dimension. Now that's something you don't see everyday. Make sure you get pictures to commemorate this occasion."

A vein popped on Katsuki's head. "Are you calling me weak, bitch?!" He slammed his hands to the table.

Seiko look squarely into Katsuki's eyes. Pink meet red. "I'm not calling you 'weak', Bakugou-san. I'm calling you generic. There's a difference. Your Quirk may be one of a kind, but there are lots of people like you out there. You're not as special as you think you are." She can list how many fictional characters who bear similarities with Bakugou. In temperament if not ability. Having a mangaka for a mother will do that to you. (And her assistants who are hardcore shippers).

Seiko honestly thought the boy would lunge at her. The anger in his eyes increased two fold at her words. His palms are giving out sparks for God's sake. Fortunately Hisana grab hold of her son and force him to sit down. "How many times should I tell you that NO QUIRK DURING MEAL TIMES?!" She and Hiroshi give the Manakas an apologetic look. "You said some good words, Seiko-chan. I like you already!" Hisana said in approval. She switched from using '-san' to '-chan'.

"Thank you...?" Seiko can't help but phrase it like a question, unsure if she should be happy with the statement.

Dinner resumed with no more outburst (literally) from Katsuki (although there were a couple close calls). That evening, Seiko's family returned to their new home with a full stomach and bewildered mind.

Kokoro did get her pictures in the end though.

It didn't take long for their lives to fall to routine. Every morning Seiko would wake up and go for a run. When she returned home, Kokoro or Shun will be in the kitchen, making breakfast. By the time she finished with her shower, food is served on the table. Kokoro's assistants trickle one by one after the clock strikes eight. After making tea for everyone, Seiko head to the nearby sports centre. She practice gymnastics until 5 pm. Seiko stop by at the market to buy ingredients for dinner before heading home. She always bought extra in case the assistants wish to stay for dinner (which is almost everyday). Kokoro would be too absorbed in her work so Seiko is in charge to cook dinner. After finishing their meal, everyone including Kokoro's assisstants clean up the office. A quick shower follows afterward. With some time to burn before going to bed, Seiko would either watch videos or study. It's going to be her final year in middle school. Life is going to be busy with exams.

The Manakas are gradually integrating to their new neighbourhood. Half of it is thanks to Bakugou Hisana, who is well liked by their small community. Kokoro don't get out much, and more of an introvert. Shun is more sociable but work demand him to be away most of the time. In the end, Kokoro won over almost every mother in the neighbourhood when she mentioned her older shoujo manga work. Some of them anyway. There is definitely age factor playing here.

Seiko have met them of course. The ladies immediately take a shine on her thanks to her appearance. Seiko is a petite adolescent who is yet to hit her growth spurt (she suspect it have something to do with gymnastics. Many gymnasts are short) with long pink hair. Pink. And matching pink eyes to boot. It give her a very girly look. It really doesn't help that Seiko admittedly is girly. Still, it gets tiresome when you are constantly mistaken as a grade schooler. Seiko can still deal with that.

What she can't deal with right now is the boy next door.

A Bakugou Katsuki.

Their first and second meetings didn't go smoothly. Everyone can see that. So for the sake of everyone's sanity, Seiko try to be civil with the boy. Whenever she spots him in his room and their eyes met, Seiko give him a wave. Whenever they meet each other in front of the gates, Seiko would greet him. Each time, the blonde would ignore her. To be fair, he don't always ignore her. Sometimes he spout something like 'Annoying' or 'Don't talk to me'. Human adaptation is so scary. After a three days of this, Seiko don't even bother to be offended at his words. Getting worked up all the time is just silly.

Until the 8th day, when Bakugou accidentally saw her changing.

It was purely an accident. Seiko didn't fully closed her curtains, nor she double checked if Bakugou is there. She about to reach for the clasp of her bra when her head turned to the window. Bakugou is standing there. His eyes wide, jaw slacked and actually blushing. Sure enough, there were screaming, shouting and cursing.

Seiko glares at Bakugou. Her heated glare would work better if only she didn't cling onto Kokoro though. Bakugou and Hisana stood in front of them, with Hisana forcing down her son's head so he bowed.

"I am so sorry about my son's behaviour, Seiko-chan." Hisana said apologetically. Bakugou stood next to her, eyes cast to the side. "Katsuki, tell Seiko-chan you're sorry."

"It's not my fault if she's not careful!" Bakugou snapped.

"But instead of turning away or give her a warning, you continued to watch. You're not exactly blameless yourself, kiddo." Hisana said sternly. His nostrils flared for a second there before he forces himself to calm down. Still not looking at her, Bakugou grumbled under his breath. "What was that? I couldn't quite hear you."

"...sorry." Bakugou said louder. Seiko loosened her grip on Kokoro's shirt. Kokoro and Hisana relaxes (the assistants who are watching from behind the door relaxes as well). Then the boy's lips quirked to a condescending smirk "...Pink polkadot."

If it weren't for her skort, Seiko wouldn't go as far as to deliver a cartwheel kick at him. Bakugou's eyes widened in surprise. He raises his arms just in time to block her kick.

"SEIKO!" Kokoro gasped. Seiko draws back.

"KATSUKI!" Hisana give him a slap on the back of his head.

Kokoro place both of her hands on her hips. Seiko can only look down at her mother's disapproving gaze. "I know that you are embarrassed and upset but that doesn't mean you can resort to violence. As punishment, we'll do the usual." There is a twinkle of mischief in her eyes. Seiko visibly winced. Kokoro never fail to use the opportunity to do 'that'.

Hisana must have saw her winced, because right then she asked "What is 'usual'?"

Kokoro smiles.

It took some convincing- threats really, before Bakugou finally relented and receive the same punishment as Seiko. It's just a thing the Manakas do. Kokoro likes to dress her up and take pictures. For reference. She'll ask Seiko to pose and say dialogue. It was fun and cute. When she was little that is. Seiko start to turn down requests to pose starting from 6th grade. She don't mind posing or dressing up... But reading out the dialogue is where she draw the line. Now anytime Seiko messes up, Kokoro punished her by getting her to act.

The scene they are acting out is when the heroine rescues the prince, who is also her love interest. Seiko is dressed in the heroine's costume while Bakugou is wearing a cape (sheet) and paper crown. Bakugou refused to pose but he did read out his dialogue (albeit in deadpan tone). The lines are extremely cheesy, causing her to blush from embarrassment (Seiko suspect Kokoro just made it up on the fly, never intending to use it for the actual manga). The cherry on top is when Seiko carry Bakugou bridal style. The boy vehemently protested but was shot down by the adults. Thanks to her Quirk, Seiko lifted up Bakugou with ease. He covers his face, not giving everyone the satisfaction to see his reaction. Being lifted by a girl much shorter than him must be humiliating.

True enough, as soon as Seiko put him down, Bakugou rip off the cape and crown, burning them in the process.

Looking back, they could have handled it better, but they were just 14 year old kids. Their mothers enjoyed it the most. Oddly, that become the ice breaker between her and Bakugou. The punishment seems to calm him down in a way. Or maybe he just relate to her own reluctance. Or he just don't want to get roped to another punishment. The next day, Seiko bumped to Bakugou on the way home from the gym.

"Bakugou-san."

"Chibi."

"Bakugou-san, can you please not call me that? In exchange, you may use one of these three; Strawberry, Pinky or Seiko. Pick one."

Bakugou thinks for a moment. "Strawberry."

Seiko nodded. She like strawberries. "Ceasefire?" She offered her hand to him.

The boy stare at her for a long time before grunting. "Ceasefire." He didn't shake her hand back but Seiko will take what she can get.

That's how the two teen more or less make their peace. After that things just run on their natural course. If you count the meddling of mothers as natural course. Hisana pushed her son to interact more with Seiko, since she don't put up with his attitude. Apparently the boy have followers instead of friends, which worried her greatly. Kokoro find Bakugou as a novelty. With Hisana pushing Bakugou to interact with Seiko, the mangaka found a new amusement. Emphasis on 'muse'.

Neither teen shares their mother's enthusiasm. Bakugou have an interesting choice of word to voice his displeasure with this whole setting. Considering the Manakas will live here for a long time, Seiko figured. Might as well.

Two days after the ceasefire, she offered Kokoro's old school manga to Bakugou. She carefully picked a manga filled with action and superpowers. He accepts. That night, Bakugou threw erasers at her window to get her attention.

Seiko opens her window and greet the boy, "Bakugou-san, how can I help you?"

Begrudgingly, Bakugou shows her the manga. "Do you have the next volume of this?"

She smiled at him, "Sure~ Tell me what you think of the series after you finished. Don't exactly burn them okay?" Since Bakugou use his hands to activate his Quirk. It wouldn't be funny if the manga combust in his hands. Bakugou glares at her but nodded. "Okay. I will be at your house in a few minutes."

Hisana-san was pleasantly surprised when she showed up at their door. The 'pleasant' part multiply when Seiko informed her that she's here to lend Bakugou her manga. Bakugou just glared at his mother before storming off.

Well, they have a rocky start but as long as Seiko and Bakugou gets along, they will be able to keep the peace around here.

Tomorrow is the first day of her third year in middle school. Seiko hope that she will have a safe year this year. Last year has been insane...

As safe as it can be for a young girl who lives in the ever action filled Hero world that is.

Her first day at her new school pass without any accidents. As a new student, Seiko was bombarded with questions. What school did she used to go to, what is her Quirk, if she interested to join a club, etc. Seiko answered all those questions as truthfully as she can. She told her new classmates that she is originally from Yui Middle School. Her family moved because their apartment were ruined during a fight between a hero and villain. She used to be in the gymnastic club but this year she want to focus on her studies. Her Quirk is a simple physical augmentation power. Seiko's physical capabilities can transcend normal human's limits for a limited period of time. That means she can run faster, jump higher or do heavy lifting more than normal capabilities.

Seiko didn't tell them that that is just a part of the entire package. But from last year's fiasco, she have no desire to advertise the true reality of her Quirk.

Her first day is a success. Please let it be that way for the rest of the year.

As usual, Seiko went to the gym. After that she went to the supermarket first to buy ingredients for dinner. Kokoro and co will be pulling another all nighter today so she should buy more tea and coffee. Her mother insisted to be a part of an anthology series. They are currently holed up in the office. Oh well. Nabe sounds delicious. It's also perfect for large group of people. Seiko walked out from the building holding two large plastic bags.

The traffic is crazy today. Apparently they have to reroute the vehicles and pedestrians due to a giant villain running amok. A giant woman clad in tights walk over them. A new super heroine? Her Quirk is certainly flashy. Seiko gagged when she spots a group of men carrying cameras chasing after her. They all have a camera at hand. Are they trying to get ecchi pictures of her? Her heart reach out for the heroine. Heroes don't usually go through those kinds of trouble...

By the time Seiko reached her home, the sky have turned red. You can also see yellow, orange and pink-purplish clouds settling in. Not only that, Bakugou arrived in front of his home at the same time as her. The pink haired girl about to greet him when she noticed a heavy atmosphere around him. It looks like he's brooding. Bakugou either didn't realise she's there or he outright ignore her, for he just slammed the door behind him. It's no good to talk to him now. Seiko will try to talk to him later on. Let the boy calm down first.

She should start prepping dinner now.

The answer of Bakugou's brooding mood present itself during dinnertime. Seiko, Kokoro and her assistants are sitting around the dinner table, enjoying their meal. The TV, which is strategically situated in front of the table, is showing the latest Hero Report. A villain is destroying one of the busy market streets. The enemy this time is some sort of a mud monster. It towers over the market buildings. There's Giant Lady, the new super heroine Seiko saw earlier. She couldn't lend a hand to the other heroes on the scene without risking property damage.

The villain appears to hold someone hostage, running its mud body over them. The victim is wearing gakuran, so he must be around her age. Another youth, also wearing a gakuran, suddenly break through the parameter. He charges in towards the monster. The camera zooms in to see him clawing at the mud. It appears he attempt to free the other youth. Are they friends?

It was at that moment All Might entered the scene.

Seiko's heart skipped a beat at the sight of her hero. All Might! He's going to save them! Seiko almost fall out from her chair in excitement. He grabbed hold of the boys. He swings his other arm and-

KABOOM

Dust suddenly exploded around them. The camera is completely blocked. They can't see anything. When the dust clears, water drops start to trickle down. They are sticking over the camera lens. A caption appears on screen.

'All Might's Attack Have Caused An Updraft With Only Sheer Pressure! Now It's Raining!'

Ah, that explains it. Tension leaves Seiko's body now that the crime have been stopped. The mud monster have been torn to tiny pieces, leading to the other heroes gathering them. Police and paramedic are checking over the boys-

Seiko's chair is toppled due to how quickly the girl stood up.

"Isn't that Bakugou-san?!" Her pink eyes stares widely at the screen.

Indeed, it was Bakugou. No mistaking that loud hairstyle of his. Kokoro's eyes too widen. She leaned closer to take a better look.

Yes, that boy on the screen is definitely their neighbour.

...

Two hours later, Seiko stepped inside her room after taking a shower. Kokoro and her assistants are back in the office. Shun is currently on a business trip to Kansai. Good thing she don't have any homework today. The footage they watched earlier left her shook. Seiko climb onto her bed. She looked out from the window. Bakugou is lying on his bed. Seiko can only see his feet. His feet then shifted. Bakugou come to full view as he sit up. His head turned to the window.

Seiko waves at him.

He immediately scowled. Bakugou pull the curtains, effectively blocking her out. She sighed.

So much for wanting to tell him 'I'm glad you're okay'.

It took a full week before Bakugou stopped brooding. The nagging he got from Hisana might have helped. It almost like he returned to his old self. Almost. Sure, he throw the word 'F*ck' and 'Shit' around. He still glares at people. He still borrow manga from her. But there's a change. He seems... Calmer. Sometimes Seiko would catch him in deep thoughts. A close brush with death do that to you. The encounter with the mud monster left quite the impression on him. Seiko would see him working out every now and then. Sit up, push ups, shadow boxing... And then continued with studying. Occasionally she saw him going to an empty lot nearby to practice his Quirk.

Bakugou is working hard.

For all the boasts he make, he sure did put a lot of work to back those up.

It's not just Bakugou who is working hard. Lately, Seiko noticed another boy who is working his ass off. Every morning, she would pass by the same person during her run. It's a boy with messy green hair and freckles. He always looked like he wanted to throw up every time she sees him... Seiko can clearly see the pain in his eyes. Yet he kept on going and going... Eventually he did notice her as well. Now whenever they come across, Seiko will give him a nod or wave. The boy did the same. He would blushed hard on the first few weeks but gradually he got used to her. They never really exchanged any more words aside from 'Good morning'. But they always throw the other a smile whenever they cross path.

With so many people around her working hard, Seiko feel compelled to the same. Wether it's studies, gymnastics or keeping her head low... She need to make an effort too.

Being a third year is all about being busy. Seiko barely notices time passing by as she is bombarded by exams, house work and gymnastics. While she is no longer in the club, Seiko still can't let go of gymnastics. It have become a part of her. It's just too painful to let it go. Kokoro too is busy. She just won an award for her manga, is scheduled to attend various events, and not to mention a trip to Europe in January. She promised to return just before her entrance exams. Being a famous mangaka sure is hard. Her father is busy as well. Last month, Shun was sent to Kyuushu. Yesterday, he went to Osaka for 1 week long business trip. It's not that often, but Seiko is used to be left alone on her devices. Her parents trusts her and Seiko knows that she is responsible.

(Although sometimes Seiko find herself scolding her parents. Isn't it supposed to be the opposite? Kokoro's assistants have called her to be like an adult at one point.)

She get along well with their neighbours... As well as you could get with Bakugou Katsuki that is. Their relationship basically boiled down to; 'You-let-me-borrow-your-mangas-and-I'll-keep-the-volume-to-a-minimum'. Bakugou is loud. That is an understatement. Occasionally she will hear Hisana-san yelling at her son. Yep, the woman can be as loud as her son. Bakugou is content with their arrangement so it surprises her when Bakugou gave her something. One chilly night in December, Bakugou throw erasers on her window. When Seiko opens them, he throw another thing. Something larger. She catches it.

"...The old hag insisted I give you something," He grumbled under his breath. Seiko look down on the object in her hands. It's a pack of strawberry milk candies.

Seiko looked at her calendar. December 24th. Christmas Eve. Oh, so that's why. "Thank you. I really like it," Seiko said genuinely. Bakugou make a noncommittal sound before closing his window.

The next morning, Seiko give him a spicy potato chips. He seems to appreciate it, judging from the lack of cussing.

December rolled by and January arrived. Manaka family went to the shrine for the first time in the New Year. A few days later, Kokoro embarked to Europe. She, her assistants and editors will return in 20 days. Their home sure is quiet without Kokoro and her assistants. Seiko busied herself with exam preparations. She barely see Bakugou anymore. Green haired boy remained constant though. Seiko still meet him on her morning jog and occasionally on the afternoon. He is usually accompanied by a skinny blonde man... Seiko has this feeling that she knew him from somewhere...

Another month passed. February is a busy month for her. Between chores, school and Valentine's day, Seiko barely has free time. She was so busy, she didn't notice she have hit her growth spurt. Finally! She is no longer 142 cm. She's 152 cm now! Ultra Plus by 10 cm! The growing pains was so worth it. Kokoro was delighted at her new height, because now she has another excuse to buy her more clothes. She's lucky it happened nearing the end of her third year. Just a few more months and she can kiss her uniform goodbye.

Today is the day of entrance exam. Everyone were fussing over her last night, giving her pep up talk and reassurances. Kokoro cooked breakfast and bento for her this morning so Seiko don't have to waste energy. Kokoro hugged her tight before she leaves. She whispered one last words of encouragement before letting her go. Once outside, Seiko found herself exiting the front gates at the same time as Bakugou.

"Bakugou-san, good morning," She greeted him. "Are you going to take your entrance exam today? So am I."

Bakugou just grunted and walk away.

'Rude,' Seiko said in her mind before catching up with him. Bakugou glanced at her before looking ahead again. He probably thought she's going to the station, the same as him. He's not wrong. It wasn't until they board the same train did he speak to her.

"Strawberry, why the f*ck are you following me?"

"Oh, didn't I tell you?" Seiko smiled sweetly. "I'm taking the entrance exam for U.A. as well."

"YOU WHAT?!"

I gave in. I wrote a Boku no Hero Academia fanfic.

This idea has been in my head for... What? 6 months now? I apologise... I know that you guys are looking forward for updates for my other stories... I'll catch up. I promise.

I was busy with RL stuff and depression *cries*

In my mind, Seiko is a responsible type of a daughter. At least compared to her parents. Kokoro and Shun are both busy people. Especially Kokoro, being a mangaka (as Japanese mangakas would testify, their work schedule is crazy). So Seiko stepped up to the plate. She's also the 'Only Sane Woman' type. I hope I will be able to portray her as such in future chapters!
