Sorry about the super late update. Real life hit me like a sack of bricks, but I'm happy to say I will continue this story. Comments and feedback are appreciated! Also looking for OCs for possible chapters and such. Anyway enjoy!.


"I was scared."

Those words were still ringing in Percy's head. After Tsuyu said that, Percy recommended they both sit at the edge of the river to rest and relax. Both sat in silence since Percy made the suggestion, Percy glanced at her whenever it seemed she wasn't looking. She was gazing at the water; still clinging to the Lizard plush he had won her earlier.

"What do I say to her? What can I say?"

Tsuyu shot a look at Percy and was staring at him intensely. They both just sat there gazing at each other. Percy was getting nervous but just as it seemed Percy would speak up Tsuyu beat him to the punch.

"That day, I was confident that things would work out. Even if the odds seemed against us I had faith in my classmates and I. We were accepted into UA, the most prestigious school for heroes in the world. Even though it was scary I felt like we would all be fine."

Percy and Tsuyu continued to look at each other, Tsuyu's face had remained as expressionless as ever but Percy had a noticeable look of worry and concern.

"Then for a brief moment the mastermind behind the attack lunged at me. His powers were terrifying and strong, if it hadn't been for Aizawa Sensei's quirk and Midoriya's quickness to respond I would have been…."

"Tsuyu…." Percy said clenching his fists. He didn't know what to say, his friend had a near death experience. Though she was strong, though she was a student at UA, she was still only 15. Percy didn't know how to comfort his friend, but he knew how she felt.

"I'm sorry to burden you with all this. This isn't your concern, and I'm pretty sure this is all hard to comprehend." Tsuyu said smiling at Percy trying to ease the situation.

"You're no bother at all." Percy said smiling back at her.

"I actually know how you're feeling."

"You do?" Tsuyu asked tilting her head slightly.

"Yeah I do." Percy said. He took a deep breath and tried to gather his thoughts.

"Back in San Francisco, where I grew up, I did a lot of reckless and stupid things. I was arrogant, my quirk made me feel powerful, like I could do anything. One-day life went ahead and smacked some sense into me. I found out I wasn't invincible, and I paid for it." Percy said looking at the water.

"But still, you're amazing for having that much faith in yourself and your allies, and in the end you made it through. I think you're super mature for your age and incredibly skilled to have that much control over your quirk and to use it so responsibly. I think you're pretty impressive and I appreciate you telling me this." Percy continued.

"It's nice to not have this all bottled up inside. Thank you for being a good listener kero." Tsuyu said as she looked at Percy with a smile.

Percy smiled back and both teens seem to be in much better spirits.

"I'm really glad you feel that way, and if you need to ever let anything out I'm always here to listen." Percy said while blushing and laughing nervously.

"You know that goes for you as well, right? You can tell my anything" Tsuyu said in response.

"Anything… huh?" mumbled Percy.

"So do you feel well enough to get going? It's getting late and I don't want your siblings to starve."

"We can go now. Sorry about all this kero." Tsuyu said as she got up and bowed in apology to Percy.

"It's alright, no big deal. I'm just glad you're feeling better," said Percy while gesturing to Tsuyu that an apology wasn't necessary.

Both teens started to walk to Tsuyu's house, the aura between the two was back to being as pleasant as it was earlier in the day. Eventually the backdrop of the city changed to a suburban neighborhood. They continued to walk and chat until they made it to the front of Tsuyu's home.

"Thanks for coming out to hang. I know it was short notice so I really appreciate it." Percy said while rubbing his head.

"I had a lot of fun. We should hang out more kero." Tsuyu said, with her well-known expressionless face.

"Definitely!" exclaimed Percy happily while smiling.

"Can you do me a favor before you leave?" Tsuyu asked looking at the boy.

"Yeah sure, what is it?"

"Can I take a selfie of us to commemorate the day?" Tsuyu asked while take out her phone.

"Ummm..sure." Percy said while blushing.

Tsuyu set down the bag of food that she was carrying and moved closer to Percy. Percy was very nervous, it's not like he hasn't been close to a female before, but Tsuyu was different. They both looked at front facing camera of the cellphone, Tsuyu closing her eyes and smiling while still holding the lizard plush, and Percy holding up a peace sign and smiling as well.

SNAP

Both teenagers looked at the phone to see what the picture looked like. The picture of the two smiling next to each other made a blush grow on both of their faces.

"Looks good. I guess I'll talk to you later?" Percy said looking at his froggy friend.

"Of course we will." Tsuyu said smiling as she was walking back to bag of food she set down earlier.

"Cool, I gotta go, later!" Percy said while waving good-bye to her and running off.

Tsuyu waved back and went inside her home. It took him a solid 35 minutes of walking but he made it back to his apartment complex. He was pretty happy on the walk back, wearing a smile the whole way. He put his key in the door and proceeded to enter his apartment.

"Serena I'm home!" Percy yelled.

"I'm on the couch!" she yelled back.

"Did you even get off the couch today?"

"Well you're back earlier than I expected. What, did you strike out?" said Serena sitting up right from her laying position to look at Percy.

"Haha very funny. We were just hanging out it wasn't date or anything." Percy said annoyingly at his cousin.

"I guess you'll be a super virgin forever then." Serena said while yawning.

Just then Percy felt his phone vibrate. He took it out of his pocket and saw it was an email from Tsuyu. It was the selfie they took earlier with a message.

I thought you should have it too kero. Thanks for today; I had a lot of fun.

Percy's face lit up as he read that message.

"Maybe you won't be a super virgin forever." Serena said slyly right behind Percy. She had managed to sneak behind him and see the photo.

"Whoah what the hell!" Percy yelled in surprise

"So tell me about your date! What's your favorite part of her body? You seem like a breast guy hehe." Serena pried as she was shaking Percy.

"Dude not cool!"


This marks the end of the Introduction Arc. We'll get more into their relationship and Percy's backstory/quirk in future chapters.
