Hello! This is my first attempt at a serious BNHA Fanfiction! I really hope you enjoy it! I really liked the pairing of Tensei Iida and Fuyumi Todoroki when I found em on Tumblr so I hope it's to your liking. The world is a regular ol' quirkless AU world where U.A. is a world renowned Sports Academy. Tensei is an ex-cop! Fuyumi's still a teacher!

Hope you love it!

TQ Out!


Tensei Iida grunted as he hauled his broken legs off the bed that fateful morning. The rays of the sun glistened idyllically through the window over his bedroom. His little brother, Tenya, was already up and about, ready to tackle the world. As the class representative of Class 1-A of the sports school, Unity Academy, also known as U.A., a school that housed one of the world's most gifted athlete students, Tenya was a strict one. He couldn't help but chuckle as he heard his little brother putter about the house.

Tensei gazed at the wall. Honorable discharge from active duty from the Police for acts of valor and bravery. Or something like that, as the unit chief told him. His badge lay on the bedside table. His gun in the bedside table's drawer. Tensei slowly reached out for the wheelchair next to him when he heard the knock on his door. Tenya. "Tensei!" Tenya called out. "Are you OK in there? Have you slept well?" He was loud in the morning. Then again, Tensei hadn't particularly been a morning person himself.

"I'm fine!" he called back, voice reassuring. "Just getting into the chair. Give me a minute and I'll be right out.

"OK!" Tenya replied before sprinting off to get his toast and jam. Bread sliced just so. That was Tenya for you. Everything had to be just so. Tensei couldn't help but chuckle thinking about it. His brother was an endearing stickler.

After having freshened and dressed up, Tensei wheeled himself to the door, unlocked it, and then wheeled out the wide corridor up to the dining room. "Almost ready for the big move?" He asked cheerfully. "Everything's packed, right?" After a rogue terrorist attack on one of the U.A. Students, an irate bratty sort, by the name of Katsuki Bakugo, U.A. regulations now required their students to move in onto campus for greater security.

Tenya nodded, taking a bite of his toast, before washing it down with some orange juice. "Yes, Tensei! Everything is ready. I and Ms. Yaoyurozu have taken every painstaking effort imaginable to make sure that the students have an easy transition."

"You can call her by her first name, y'know. You two have been beating around the bush for a while." Tensei pointed out, much to Tenya's chagrin.

"I-it's nothing like that," Tenya replied, dropping his toast on his plate for a minute to gesticulate his disapproval of the direction this conversation was now going.

"Well, I always thought you and Momo would go together, considering how you two are essentially the de facto parents of your class." Tensei replied with an inelegant snort. There was a short pause as Tenya considered his words carefully.

"I honestly don't know who I like." He said simply after a moment before taking another bite into the toast.

"Right" Tensei mused. "Midoriya did say something about the engineering student taking a liking to your enthusiasm in the PT area."

"You mean Ms. Hatsume? I'm sure she's being perfectly professional." Tenya dismissed, even though a bead of sweat belied his thoughts to Tensei, who smiled wide. Prospects of romance. And poor Tenya didn't know who to love. Tenya did, of course, care for all of his friends. It was the giving person he was. He was taught to be caring and kind. Their parents had made sure to instill such good values. But where did care end and love begin? Tenya didn't even know. To be fair, neither did Tensei, but he did smile.

"Well, mom and dad are out right now but you know what they'd say." He pointed out.

"You'll know when you love someone." Tenya echoed the words his mother regularly mentioned to Tensei. Their parents had never been ones for arranged marriages. Tensei was glad about that.

Tenya was quick to finish up his toast and chug down the rest of his orange juice. He got to his feet before moving to his brother who sat in his wheelchair. "Should I take you to the station?" he asked.

"Might as well. At this point I should probably start looking for other jobs." Tensei replied. "I know the precinct says I can return as soon as the doctors say I'm able but at this point I wouldn't mind leading a more relaxed life. I have you following in my footsteps after all." He replied proudly, ruffling Tenya's hair. The tall teenager couldn't help but grin.

"You're always an inspiration, Tensei. No matter what, you always manage to show me the best path to be the very best so I can help people. I will not fail you."

"You've got it wrong again, little brother!" Tensei chided. "I keep telling you this. Do this for yourself, not for me. Whatever you do, don't fail yourself." He told him. "Now c'mon. Let's get to the station. The cab you called should be here any minute."

"How did you know I called a cab, brother?" Tenya asked, confused.

"You're a meticulous one, Tenya." He replied with a chuckle.


The ride to the station was relatively quiet. As the two made their way into the train, Tenya couldn't help but blink back tears. As they reached the station closest to U.A., Tenya leaned down and hugged his brother tight. "I'll miss you." He said, for a moment, being vulnerable. "I'll miss mom and dad too." He whispered softly.

"Do me proud." He replied, ruffling his hair. "And be home for Christmas, for crying out loud." He added with a chuckle. Tenya lifted his suitcase and nodded, smiling, blinking back a tear behind his glasses.

"Goodbye, Tensei!" He said, leaving. Tensei waved good bye before sighing when the doors closed. As Tenya left, he saw her. The woman who almost missed the train. White hair, like snow, with flecks of red in it. Her luggage would've been stuck but Tensei managed to get her little backpack in before the doors closed.

"Oh! Get off-!" she thought she was being mugged for a second. Then she noted the well-dressed man in the wheelchair. Then she noted how a strap of her backpack was stuck in the door, which means she could now only tug it in after the door opened again. She blinked, before turning to him, her face reddening slightly in embarrassment. "I'm so sorry! I thought you were going to steal that!" she said. "I hope I didn't offend you!"

"No, not at all! Random stranger grabbing a bag in the middle of a train. Honestly I didn't know what I was thinking." Tensei replied with a calm smile. "Please! Have a seat!" There was an empty seat next to the disabled section in the wheelchair, which had been recently occupied by Tenya. "Tensei Iida."

"Fuyumi Todoroki." She replied with a small, slightly nervous nod.

"Todoroki. Where have I heard that name?" Oh right! Tenya told him that he had a classmate named Shoto. "Are you related to a Shoto Todoroki, by any chance?"

"I'm his sister!" She replied. "Why? Is something wrong?" She looked worried. That brought a frown. Was she nervous about something? Tenya had told him Shoto had been troubled before, but he didn't know what it was that troubled him. But he had also told him since that Shoto had warmed up to the rest of his friends, especially Izuku Midoriya.

"Oh, nothing! My brother mentioned him once. My brother's Tenya Iida. He goes to U.A. Shoto is a classmate of his."

"Oh I know Tenya!" She replied, visibly relaxing. "Good guy, if a bit overenthusiastic" she replied, giving him a slightly awkward, nervous smile.

"I didn't know Shoto had any siblings! It's fantastic to meet you!" He was genuine about it too! She was nice! Rather sweet. He couldn't help but smile as he talked to her. Idly they started chatting on the train until her stop arrived. As he spoke to her, her nervousness seemed to slowly but surely melt away.

"My stop's here" she told him with a smile. "Here." She fumbled as she tore a piece of paper from a notebook she'd fished out of her bag and wrote her number on it. "I'm sure we'll talk more, considering how good friends our siblings are of each other." She smiled wide. "Don't be a stranger, Tensei!"

"I'll try" He replied, with a chuckle, waving goodbye to her.

She was something else, alright. Tensei couldn't help but smile ever so slightly as he read her number. A teacher. Teaching young children no less. He'd wanted to do that before he joined the police academy too. Physics.

Tensei got off at the next stop and wheeled his way into a coffee shop and pulled out his laptop. Accessing the Wi-Fi, he started fishing through various websites, looking for jobs.

Hours passed. The coffee he ordered (black, no sugar, no milk), was gone already. He was quiet. Then his phone buzzed.

[From: Fuyumi Todoroki, 1:34 p.m.]
"Hello! Hope I didn't catch you at a bad time! Thanks for the company again this morning! I'm just on my lunch break so I decided to see how you were doing. You told me during our talk you were looking for a new job, right? How's that coming along? :) LMK! Bye!"

Tensei gazed at the text before sighing. Why was he smiling this wide? He shrugged but responded.

[From: Tensei Iida, 1:35 p.m.]
"Hello, Fuyumi! Thanks for the text! And no problem! I've been sitting in this coffee shop, trying to rack my brains as to finding a new job. The Universities don't have a teaching position open and I do want to start teaching. Either Physics or P.E. Before the academy, I did take educational courses so I could learn how to teach, but I also wanted to join the Police Force first. Now that I'm not part of the forces anymore, I want to teach again."

There was a long pause. Was Fuyumi OK? What was going on?!

[From: Fuyumi Todoroki, 1:40 p.m.]
"You want to be a teacher?! Why didn't you say something sooner?! The school I'm working in is newly opened. We're still looking!"

She took that long to type that? Was she internally debating with herself? Instantly, Tensei replied.

[From: Tensei Iida, 1:41 p.m.]
"What's the opening?"

[From: Fuyumi Todoroki, 1:41 p.m.]
"Science teacher!"

[From: Tensei Iida, 1:42 p.m.]
"Fuyumi Todoroki, you're a lifesaver! I'll visit tomorrow!"

[From: Fuyumi Todoroki, 1:43 p.m.]
"It's nothing, really! I'll send you the address tonight! Do your best tomorrow, and we'll see if we can't land you that job, huh? :) Hey! I gotta go, one of my students is about to put sand in his mouth and I don't think that's a good idea! Bye, Tensei!"

Tensei snorted and replied.

[From: Tensei Iida, 1:43 p.m.]
"Go on then! Have fun :)"

The man sighed. This woman really was something, huh? What a stroke of luck.
