Opposites Attract 3

The rest of the weekend passed with no troubles, giving Class 1-A time to relax after a few weeks of hectic activities. On the first day of the new week, everyone piled into Class 1-A's homeroom and sat down at their desks, ready to start their day. The class talked amongst each other as they usually did before homeroom started, but unlike everyone else, Izuku was sitting at his desk silently, staring at the desk top.

He had spent a lot of his time in his dorm room throughout the rest of the weekend, claiming that he was doing homework whenever someone would knock on his door to ask if he was okay. In truth, he was doing homework, but most of this time was spent thinking about his current predicament involving Uraraka, Hatsume and who he had a crush on.

Both girls, in his mind, had endearing things that Izuku liked about them. For instance, Uraraka was a very nice person, and in fact the first girl to talk to him nicely for a long time, excluding his mother. On top of that, he had known Uraraka for a lot longer, and had formed a great friendship with her. On the other hand, Hatsume is a very intelligent girl. She had a great understanding of the things that went on around her, and she didn't pay any mind to those who made fun of her. And, although Izuku would never admit it, Hatsume had a large chest and he has taken notice, especially after all the times Hatsume had gotten strangely close to him.

While Izuku was going over this in his mind, Mr. Aizawa had entered the room, and was making his way towards the small podium where he usually addressed the class from.

"Good morning, class." Mr. Aizawa said with his usual monotone voice.

"Good morning!" The class replied, as cheerfully as they could on a Monday morning.

"Don't get comfortable yet, I have a special task for you." Aizawa said, getting the classes attention. "Today, we'll be conducting a newer task, as suggested by Power Loader. I'm sure most of you know who he is and his job here at U.A."

"Mr. Aizawa, sir, isn't Power Loader in charge of Costume Development?" Hagakure asked.

"That is correct, but let me finish." Aizawa replied. "Today, at the request of Power Loader, we will be combining with Class 1-H, the Support Course, for a team building activity."

"What? Why?"

"Because it is inevitable. When you all become Pro Heroes, you will often have to meet with people to modify your hero costume, like you do with Power Loader. These people will no doubt be similar to those in the Support Course, so Power Loader has suggested that you make connections with those in the Support Course, so in the future you can have someone you can easily contact for costume upgrades and maintenance." Aizawa explained. "Class 1-H's homeroom teacher, Mr. Daiki, has agreed to his combination and expects us to meet with him in Class 1-H's homeroom class in 10 minutes. I suggest you all get ready to leave."

The class then burst into conversation as they discussed what they may be doing for this lesson. Izuku didn't move or talk to those near him, until he felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked up from his desk and saw Uraraka and Iida standing above him.

"Hey Deku!" Uraraka greeted cheerfully. "We saw you sitting here all sad, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just a bit tired." Izuku lied.

"You really should get your sleeping patterns sorted, Midoriya." Iida advised. "Anyway, what do you think this team building activity will consist of? It seems like the rest of the class is eagerly talking about it."

"I'm not sure. Something to do with our costumes, maybe. Mr. Aizawa did use costume maintenance as an example for why we should make friends with the Support Course people." Izuku stated. "I don't know how the teams will work, though. Hatsume's told me that Class 1-H only has 10 people, and we have 20. Will two of us have to work with one Support Course person?"

"Perhaps. It seems like the most logical conclusion, as it divides our class evenly for groups. If that is the case, who will you have on your team?" Iida asked.

"If we're pairing with the Support Course guys, I think I know who Midoriya would wanna pair up with!" Mineta said teasingly. It seems that nobody wanted to discuss the team building activity with him.

"Ah yes, indeed. It would have to be Hatsume, correct?" Iida asked. "I'm sure that even if Midoriya had other plans, Hatsume would want to pair up with him. So that means that if each team will consist of two Hero Course Students and one Support Course student, then Midoriya's team requires one extra Hero."

"Yeah, but who would I pick?"

"If you are thinking of picking me, I refuse." Iida said. "Purely because of Hatsume. Truth be told, I am still quite irritated by her display during our fight during the Sports Festival, and I don't think her and I will get along well enough to work as a team."

"I'm fine with working with Hatsume, Deku!" Uraraka said. "If we're making teams, you should pick me! It's best to work with people you like, right?"

"Ah, y-yes, right." Izuku replied weakly.

"Right, enough talking. Get up and go to Class 1-H already." Aizawa said bluntly. The class quickly got up and left, as per their teachers command. Iida made sure they all went in single file down the hallway, sticking to the left side so others can get past them easier.

Before long, the class had made it to Class 1-H's homeroom. Iida opened the door and was greeted by a classroom very similar to theirs, but with larger desks that looked more like work benches. The homeroom teacher, Mr. Hideyoshi Daiki, turned his head as soon as the door opened.

"Ah, you must be Class 1-A!" He said cheerfully. "I'm Mr. Daiki, the homeroom teacher for Class 1-H."

"Oh, it really is Stone Cold!" Izuku whispered excitedly.

"So, I assume Mr. Aizawa went over why you're here? I'll go over it again, since I know Aizawa isn't one to go into great detail. So, when you all graduate to being Pro Heroes, you'll often find yourself needing to modify or upgrade parts of your hero costume, so you can perform your job easier. Like Air Jet, for instance, who uses a multitude of support items which would need a lot of maintenance. With that in mind, Me, Power Loader and Aizawa decided to run this team activity where you will work with a student from Class 1-H to build friendships which will be beneficial later on in your life as a Hero." Daiki explained. "Now, since there are twice as many 1-A students are there are 1-H students, each team will have to consist of 2 1-A students and a single 1-H student. I'll leave the team formation to you."

As soon as Daiki stopped talking and sat down, all the 1-H students got up and started talking with the 1-A students to form their teams. Izuku watched from the door as all of his friends began mingling with the new students. He decided that he should do the same, but was stopped by a pink blur running into him.

"Izuku!" The blur yelled as it tackled him. Izuku barely managed to maintain balance, and when he regained his composure and looked at what had tackled him, he was somewhat surprised to see Hatsume clinging to his torso.

"Who would've thought that we'd be combining classes? It's a small world, I guess!" Hatsume said with her usual cheeriness, and still standing with her arms around Izuku's torso, which made the green haired boy feel flustered.

"Heh, y-yeah I guess s-so.." he replied, blushing and staring down at Hatsume, who still hadn't moved from her current position. 'I'm glad the rest of the class is distracted, or this would be way more embarrassing.'

"Alright! We're gonna be in a team, no arguments about that!" Hatsume declared. "Now, we just need another person from your class. Who do ya want?"

"I-I don't have a preference, really. Just as l-long as we can take part." Izuku said.

"Nice, very heroic! I guess I'll pick then…" Hatsume then began looking around the whole class, searching for another 1-A student. "How about the girl who was in the Cavalry Battle with us, during the Sports Festival? What was her name again…"

"Oh, Uraraka?" Izuku asked. "Oh yeah, she said earlier that she wanted to be on my team. We just need to find her."

"Find who?" Uraraka, who had made her way through the groups of people and ended up behind Izuku and Hatsume, asked.

"AGH!" Izuku screamed. "Oh, it's just y-you, Uraraka!"

"Oh, Uraraka, what great timing! We were just going to find you to complete our team! But it looks like you came to us, which is even better." Hatsume cheered.

"Yeah! We were discussing the activity in our homeroom class-" Uraraka began, but was soon interrupted by Hatsume.

"Izuku, wanna go to a desk now?" Hatsume asked.

"Oh, sure!" Izuku said, before leaning in towards Hatsume. "Also, do you really have to call me by my first name in public?"

"Oh, I don't see why not!" Hatsume said happily.

'They're ignoring me again..' Uraraka thought as she followed Izuku and Hatsume to a desk.

"Here, lets sit here!" Hatsume said as she pulled Izuku to the side, towards a desk in the middle of the room. "This one's my desk, I thought it would be easier to work here since I know the layout of the entire class from this one location!"

"That's pretty cool, Hatsume!" Izuku said, although unsure about why she told him this. At the desk, which looked more like a work bench, the three students sat with Hatsume at the left most side, Izuku in the middle (although he had been pulled a bit closer to Hatsume), and Uraraka on the rick most side.

"Alright, I hope everyone had formed their teams!" Daiki said loudly from the front of the class. "And it seems like Mr. Aizawa has joined us! Better late than never, I suppose! Ha ha!"

"Let's just get on with the class, shall we?" Aizawa said stoically.

"Right, right. Well then, now that you are all in your groups, I want you all to listen closely to the tasks. The first step is easy, I want you to share your name and quirk with your team. This will be the easiest portion of the activity to begin with, but I will be randomly testing each group to see if they remember the facts that they learn about one another. Got it?"

"Yes sir!"

"Good, now begin!"

The whole class then began talking amongst each other, albeit more quietly than each class would usually talk.

"This is gonna be easy for us, we all know each other here!" Hatsume said. "I'm not even gonna do it! There's no point, and it gives us more time to just talk!"

"Woah, Hatsume. I never expected you to be such a slacker!" Izuku said mockingly.

"Ha ha, Izuku. I never expected you to be such a completionist. In fact, I kinda expected this from Iida." Hatsume replied, smirking. "Speaking of Iida, has he stopped hating me yet or…"

'Deku and Hatsume get along so well, I can't help but feel like a third wheel right now..' Uraraka thought as she watched the other two members of her team talk between each other so enthusiastically. 'Do I even have a shot with Deku anymore? ...what am I saying, of course I do! I just have to try! Yeah, keep persevering until I reach my goal!'

While Uraraka was thinking and Hatsume was talking eagerly, Daiki walked up to their group and looked at the three quizzically. "Are you three finished introducing yourselves?" He asked.

"We have, sir!" Hatsume replied happily.

"Very good, you three! I expected no less from you, Hatsume." Daiki said proudly as he walked off to check on the other groups. As the teacher left, Hatsume and Izuku began talking again. A person from Class 1-H saw this, and decided to say something.

"Hey, Hatsume! Is that your 1-A boyfriend?" The person yelled. He was a rather tall person, with large muscles, a well sculpted face and circular shaped hair that was 25 centimeters in length.

"Ichiro, he is not my boyfriend. I've been over this before!" Hatsume replied before going back to talking to Izuku. Akuhei Ichiro, the one who called out to Hatsume, is one of 1-H's best students, overshadowed only by Hatsume herself. He was in a group with Ashido and Kirishima.

"Hey, who's Ichiro?" Izuku asked.

"Oh, he's just some guy in my class." Hatsume explained. "He's really talented too, but he views anyone better than him as a rival. From what I understand, he's kinda like that Kacchan person you've mentioned a bit."

"Really? I'm sure he's not as bad as Kacchan.." Izuku said before checking to see how far away Bakugo.

"Alright class, that should be enough time to introduce yourselves." Daiki said as he made his way back to the front of the class. "The next task will be analysing a blueprint. Not just any blueprint, though. The blueprints I'll be handing out are blueprints for your hero costumes, and any support gear that goes with it, if any. Each team will have one blueprint, as well as a basic description of the quirk of the person who owns the suit. Your task will be to analyse it and discuss what is good about the suit, and where improvements could be made."

Daiki went from desk to desk, handing out blueprints for the hero costumes. When he came to Izuku's group, he placed down a blueprint for Aoyama's hero costume.

"Oh, it's Aoyama's." Uraraka said as she leaned forward to get a closer look at the blueprint, only to have the blueprint unintentionally moved away from her sight by Hatsume.

"Oh ho ho! This is actually a very complicated looking suit!" She said as she held the blueprint closer to her face. "So he can create a laser from his navel? That's quite useful. And his suit lets him channel the energy from the laser to different parts of his body, so he can emit them somewhere else. I really like the belt! The design is very intricate, and uses a lot of cutting edge tech for the simplest function!"

"Yeah, he has those belt thingies on his shoulders and stuff, but I've only ever seen him use the laser in the main belt." Izuku said.

"I'd say that the best feature of this suit is its exterior simplicity. Some Heroes use really large and flashy suits that give away any hand-held weapons they might use, but Aoyama's suit just looks like a knight's outfit, so any villains he might encounter will underestimate him." Hatsume explained. "I can't see many things that could be improved though. Maybe getting rid of the cape."

"I personally think the cape is a good look.." Uraraka said.

"That's true, but a lot of heroes have been killed by large fans and things because their capes get stuck in them." Izuku explained. "Maybe I should tell that to Aoyama later. What do you think, Hatsume?"

'What?! Did he really just do that? Bringing Hatsume into our conversation?' Uraraka thought as she felt more and more frustrated. 'I just wanna talk with Deku! Why can't I do that?'

"Right, stop there for a second!" Daiki yelled quickly. "Kimyona, stand up please."

The student in question, Kimyona, stood up. He was very tall, with long and unkempt black hair and a strangely circular face. "Yes, sir?"

"Name the two people in your team."

"Of course." Kimyona pointed to the person on his left. "This is Kaminari," he then pointed to the person on his right. "..and this is Asui."

"Just call me Tsuyu, ribbit." Tsuyu said.

"Okay."

"Very good, very good. Alright then, Alteos, you're up now." Alteos then stood up. Vega Alteos was also very tall, with long black hair and a slender figure. "Name the two people in your team."

"Sure. In my team is Aoyama and Iida." Alteos said. Surprisingly, he had a high pitched voice.

'Wow, this Alteos guy kinda looks like a girl. Or is it that Alteos is a girl that looks a bit like a guy?' Izuku thought.

"Very good, Alteos. You can sit down now." Alteos nodded, then sat down. Daiki went towards Aizawa, who said something to him. However, since Izuku was too far away, he couldn't hear.

"Alright class, it seems we've run out of time right now." Daiki said. "Mr. Aizawa has informed me that we can continue this task at a later date. Class 1-A, follow your teacher back to your class so you can continue with your regular daily schedule."

Iida stood up. "Thank you, Mr. Hideyoshi Daiki, for allowing us to use your classroom space for this cooperative activity!" Iida shouted as he bowed dramatically.

"It is fine, Iida. Now hurry along." Daiki said. Class 1-A stood up and prepared to leave, but Izuku was stopped by Hatsume.

"Hey, Izuku. Take this." Hatsume handed Izuku a slip of paper. "It has my phone number on it. I realised a while ago that he hadn't exchanged numbers yet, but now that we have we can stay in contact for longer!"

"O-oh, thanks H-Hatsume.." Izuku said. "I'll see y-you later, then!"

"Yeah! Bye now!" Hatsume said as Izuku left the class.

*At the end of the day*

Hatsume was sitting in the Class 1-H dorm room, taking it easy after a long day of school while texting Izuku. After exchanging numbers in their first class, Hatsume had been sending texts to Izuku throughout her classes, whenever she had spare time. At this point, Hatsume had fully accepted her crush on Izuku, but tried to hide it from her fellow classmates. While she was texting, she failed to notice a student enter the living room.

"Oh, hey Check-Out." The person said, louder than a usual person would speak. Hatsume jumped and let out a small frightened squeal, before calming down. She knew who the person was, due to the loudness of the persons voice and the nickname that she was called.

"Jeez, Yozakura, you startled me!" Hatsume yelled as she placed her phone in her pocket.

"Sorry. Who were you texting?"

"Oh, just Izuku. We were talking about the group thing we did this morning." Hatsume said.

"Izuku, he was the guy in your group, right? The green haired boy."

"Yeah, that's him. You know him?"

"Well, not personally. I know his smell quite well." Yozakura said.

"His smell? Why do you know his smell?"

"It's quite simple, really. I've known his smell for a while, one day I could smell it in the dorms. I didn't pay much attention to it, of course, until I realized his smell was mixed with yours, and now I know why." Yozakura explained. "It is because you spend a lot of time with this Izuku, and you've brought his smell into the dorms with you."

"Huh, that's f-funny!" Hatsume said. "At least now you know where the smell came from!"

"Yes, indeed. You know, the way the two smells were intertwined the way they were can only be achieved through physical contact." Yozakura said. "Not just small brushes, of course. Interactions like hugs usually allow something like that to happen, which begs the question: why are you hugging Izuku?"

"W-what?! Me, hugging Izuku? T-that's crazy!"

"No, it's quite believable. I saw how you greeted him this morning, Check-Out. I'm sure I saw you look up at Izuku from your desk, then run towards him and jump into his arms."

"Y-you saw that?!"

"Yes. Is that a sign that you two are already intimate? Or do you simply want to be intimate with him, so you're attempting to make him like you." Yozakura mused. "I'm not too sure myself."

While Yozakura was talking, Hatsume was sweating and had a large blush on her face. Yozakura was known to talk loud a lot, and now was no exception. Yozakura was raising his voice as per usual, and he had no intentions on stopping.

"W-Wait! Please stop yelling!" Hatsume said quickly. "Okay, it's true. I have a crush on Izuku. Please don't tell anyone!"

"I won't, you have my word. But tell me, what do you see in him?"

"Well, I always thought Izuku looked kinda cute. Once I got to know him, I began to respect his determination and optimism. He's also ripped, and I... well, I like that on a man.." Hatsume said while blushing heavily at the thought of a shirtless Izuku.

"Very well. As I said earlier, I will not tell anyone of your crush on Izuku." Yozakura said, without his usual loudness which surprised Hatsume. "I wish you the best of luck."

"Thank you, Yozakura." Hatsume said sincerely, smiling brightly.

"Please, just call me Genrou. Everyone else does."

"Okay, Genrou. I'm gonna head out for a bit." Hatsume sighed as she stood up. "See ya later!"

"Are you going to see Izuku?" Genrou asked, causing Hatsume to blush. "I'm joking. Goodbye Check-Out."

A/N: Thank you to those who helped me with OC's. I have a lot of small ideas for the next chapter, and finding the best idea will take a while. Chapter 4 won't be releasing very soon, probably. Feel free to leave feedback through reviews or PM
