After school, Izuku wasted no time searching for Asia. He was worried sick. He had been searching for around an hour and he was ready to give up, but then he heard a familiar soft voice.

"Midoriya?"

The boy quickly turned around. It was Asia! "A-Argento! Hello!"

The nun smiled, happy to see the boy again. "Hi! Um, if it's alright, can we, hang out for a b-bit?"

"T-That'd be n-nice." 'Man, I need to work on that stutter!'

Asia beamed as she grabbed Izuku's hand. "Great! Let's go!"

Izuku didn't expect her to be so bold, but he didn't mind.

———————————————————————

After the fun, Izuku and Asia found themselves sitting on a bench. The nun noticed that the boy's leg was not fully healed, so she decided to use her Sacred Gear.

"W-Wow, Arge-

"Asia."

"Eh?"

Asia had a slight blush on her face. "I-I'd like you to call me Asia."

Now it was Izuku's turn to blush. "A-Asia it is, then! I-If you want, y-you can call me Izuku!"

Asia was happy. "Yeah!"

"A-As I was saying, that power of yours is amazing!"

Asia was surprised when she heard this. "R-Really? You think that?"

Asia looked somewhat sad, and Izuku noticed this. "W-What's wrong?"

"It's just that... as good as this power is, it's brought me a lot of sadness as well. You see, I first discovered this ability when I was young. I had somehow healed an injured dog. The church found out about this, and they made me their full-time healer. Many people came from all over the world and I was just so happy! I was so glad that I could help people like that."

Izuku then asked a question. "W-Wouldn't that be really awesome? Why would that bring you sadness?"

Asia then frowned as she continued telling her story. "Well, one day, I found a badly injured man, and I healed him. It turns out that he was a devil, and because of that, I was branded a heretic, and I was removed from the church."

'She's a witch!'

'She healed that devil! She's evil!'

"Fortunately, I was taken in by some fallen angels, and they've been nothing but kind to me."

As Asia finished telling her story, she looked at Izuku, and noticed that he was slightly tearing up.

"I-Izuku?"

"I'm fine, A-Asia. It's just that, I know what it's like to be an outcast because of something beyond your control. Y-You're not alone when it comes to experiencing that."

Asia was confused, but she didn't pry.

The boy then spoke again. "I-If you want, I can be your f-friend."

Asia was smiling again. "Yes. I'd love that!"

"Not happening." The two were caught off guard by a new voice.

They looked up and saw a woman with black, feathery wings and a skimpy, black outfit. Izuku's eyes widened. "Y-Yuuma!"

Asia was also surprised. "Raynare!"

The fallen angel paused for a moment when she saw who was with her nun friend. "I-Izuku?!" Upon seeing the green-haired boy, she felt a wave of guilt. "Look, Izuku. I'm really sorry! Can we just... start over?"

Izuku was now looking down, his teeth clenched as his hair covered his eyes. "I... I don't know. Raynare, is it? I don't know if I can f-forgive you. When you took me on that d-date, I finally felt loved. I-I guess it was just a lie, though."

The boy then smiled. "D-Despite that, I've been able to find true l-love. I'll admit that I had my d-doubts at first, but she was quick to let me k-know it's all real."

He then looked up at Raynare. "E-Enough of that. Why are you here?"

"I'm here for that nun." She then looked at Asia. "You can't run forever. You are coming back to the church, whether you like it or not."

Asia cast an apologetic look at her new friend. "S-Sorry. I actually ran away from the church."

'I don't blame her. I wouldn't want to be near people like that either.'

Raynare summoned a spear of light. "Izuku. If you stand in my way, I really will kill you this time!"

The boy summoned his Boosted Gear. "Asia doesn't want to go with you!"

"Really? A Twice Critical? That's all? They told me you had a dangerous Sacred Gear! All that thing can do is double your power, but zero times two is still zero! Now hand over Asia and get out of here."

"I won't! A-After all, what kind of a friend can't stick up for anyone?" Izuku then looked at the gauntlet on his arm. "Help me out, here! Do something!"

[BOOST!]

'Woah! Power is spreading throughout my body! This is incredible!'

He was pulled from his thoughts when he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He looked down and saw that he was hit with a spear of light.

"Izuku!" Asia quickly rushed to heal him.

"I'll make things easy. If you come with me, I won't kill Izuku. Deal?"

Asia hesitated for a bit, before reluctantly accepting. "A-Alright! I'll go! Just spare him!"

Raynare smiled evilly. "Good girl. You won't have to feel any pain or sadness after the ritual tonight."

The nun and the fallen angel left Izuku to bleed out as his vision faded to black.

———————————————————————

Izuku woke up in his room once more, though he felt something pressed up against his back, and he noticed he was naked. He was relieved to see his girlfriend, as embarrassing as his current situation was.

Akeno had been waiting for him to wake up. "Izuku! You had this big hole in your stomach and... I thought you were gonna die! I was able to heal you, though!"

"S-Sorry. I found Asia, but I ran into that fallen angel, and things got ugly."

"It's alright. Hey, you wanna stay like this for a bit longer? We've got time."

Izuku was embarrassed, but he secretly enjoyed this. "Y-Yeah."

She playfully kissed his neck. "You're so cute."

———————————————————————

Things are escalating, so naturally I'd throw in some fluff at the end. One of these days I'll write a story that's purely fluff, though not today.

As you know, Raynare felt quite guilty about attempting to kill Izuku. Her fate might surprise some of you.

'Till next time!
