This is a bit shorter sorry, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!


I remember the first time Shoto saw me having one of my unexpected visions.

It was our fourth meeting. Our third time meeting at the park.

Just like I had said I would, the week before I had brought my book along with me and we had sat in silence while he slept against the tree. I sat on the ground near him with my book in my lap and remember wondering about his sleeping schedule. How tired must he be? How little sleep must he get to just want to sleep in the afternoons? I had spoken a few times but he hadn't responded and the two hours had passed in silence.

The next week turned out quite different, although it started very similar. Shoto was already at the tree when I got to the park and I called out a greeting to him.

He didn't respond.

I sighed before sitting down and pulling out my homework. I needed to study both for my upcoming finals and the entrance theory exam for UA. Even though they were both a while away I needed all the help I could get. Plus my training schedule was increasing with workouts and I couldn't afford to let that get in the way.

I wondered if Shoto had homework he needed to work on, and what he did on the afternoons that weren't spent on the park. So I asked him.

"If you didn't have to meet up with me at the park, what would you be doing?"

He didn't respond. I felt a faint blush as I realised him napping meant he wouldn't hear a word I said. That didn't stop me from continuing to speak though.

"If I weren't here, I'd probably be training or studying, but that's pretty boring so if I had free time I'd probably go to the markets down the street. There's a vendor there with the best chicken karaage I've ever had. I'd get some this afternoon but I'm supposed to be saving money." I sighed. "Oh well."

I continued working on my homework silently before the frustration that was mathematical equations got to me. Why was this a thing I needed to learn? Was I going to have to solve for x in order to rescue some hostages as a hero?

"You know what I can't stand?" I said suddenly, and quite loudly I realised when Shoto actually jolted and his eyes opened to look at me. He appeared annoyed that I had disturbed his nap but I didn't let it bother me, my passionate hatred was driving me forward. "Quadratic formulas. They make no sense. And they're unnecessary. I'm not going to need them as a hero, all they do is give me nightmares. If there's a villain who uses maths to trick the heroes trying to stop him I am going to kick his-"

I was cut off by a vision before I could continue my rant and threat towards imaginary villains.

A man rounded the corner of the park at a run. His arm extended towards us like it was rubber and yanked Shoto's bag from the ground next to him. He took off running, bag under his arm.

Shit. I thought as I scanned the area around us. Was that going to happen now? It had to be. I wouldn't have seen it if it was next week. I glanced at Shoto who was watching me with curious eyes.

Suddenly the man rounded the corner.

I lunged for the bag. Grabbing the handle not a moment too soon as his hand shot out and grabbed the other side. I gave a yelp as he pulled on the bag and I was dragged forward a couple of steps. The guy was much stronger than me, I couldn't hold it.

Suddenly an arm wrapped around my waist to hold me steady and a hand reached out and touched the arm of the guy holding the bag. He gave a yell as ice crawled up his arm and he let go of the bag, looking down at his hand in surprise. He glanced up to look at us before cursing and running away.

The rest of the park watched him run but nobody did anything. They all probably figured causing a fuss was more trouble than it was worth, and the only people likely to get in trouble if heroes or the police turned up were me and Shoto for using our quirks. As annoying as it was, the perp would be long gone.

The arm around my waist disappeared as Shoto took a step back, I let go of the bag, allowing him to take it with him. I turned to see him watching me, his expression unreadable.

"You saw him coming, didn't you? That's why your eyes turned white."

I nodded silently, still feeling the adrenaline of what just happened. That was a close one, I thought.

"I've never seen you use your power before, I'm surprised." I said and Shoto merely shrugged before turning his head to look at where the would-be bag snatcher had disappeared.

"I like this bag." He replied simply and I let out a small laugh at that.

"Glad I could help then." I grinned at him, surprised by our bonding moment.

Shoto looked down at me for a moment with his empty expression before turning back to the tree and sitting down against it again. I noted though that he kept a hand on his bag now.

"Thank you," he said before his eyes closed and he was gone from the conversation.

I sighed as I sat back down next to him and returned to my maths homework next to my unusual fiancée. I felt a sense of pride though that I had managed to stop the guy. It made the maths seem less daunting as I focused on what would come after it.

I couldn't wait to learn to be a hero.


A rocking sensation brought me into consciousness and I groaned at the pain in my head. It felt like someone had pulled my brain out and stomped on it a few times before giving it back with nothing but an 'oops, my bad'.

My groan caused the rocking sensation to stop and I tried to take in my surroundings through feelings alone, too tired to try and open my eyes. I was resting against something hard and there were hands wrapped around my thighs. I assumed somebody was carrying me on my back as I tried to get the strength to look for myself and I let out another groan.

"You're awake." A voice said and the hard surface against my front vibrated with the noise, confirming my suspicions.

"Shoto?" I asked hoarsely, recognising the voice. My throat hurt, probably from screaming. Shoto was carrying me on his back, but why? "What happened?"

"You passed out." He responded and the slight rocking motion resumed, I assumed he'd started walking again. "Villains attacked USJ just after you did. One of them had a warp quirk and transported us to the landslide zone."

No.

"My visions… this is what I saw… it's happening." I hid my face in Shoto's shoulder, trying to get control of my emotions. I had seen all this, I knew it was going to happen. But I hadn't stopped it. "I didn't stop it. I should have realised… should have gotten us out before."

I couldn't believe I'd screwed up this bad. And now people might die. I recalled some of the things I'd seen.

"It isn't your fault. There's no way to have known that this would happen today. We were all unprepared. You gave us warning of what was going to happen though, which was better than nothing."

I didn't believe his words but I didn't argue with him. If only I had stopped it…

But I couldn't change that now, I just needed to help as much as I could right now.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"We're heading back towards the middle. Aizawa-sensei was fighting the villains by himself before we were warped away."

Aizawa. I remembered the vision of him. His body lying broken on the ground. "We should hurry, he can't stay there long. He needs our help." I noted that Shoto's grip on my thighs tightened before he seemed to pick up the pace.

So much was happening, I worried about the other classmates. Where were they? Have they gone to the places I'd seen some of them in the visions? Would they be alright? I was so anxious but I tried to control it. They were in the hero course for a reason, they'd be okay.

The dread didn't go away though.

I gave another groan of pain as my head gave another throb and my eyes stung. Deciding I'd avoided the inevitable for long enough I opened my eyes.

And saw nothing.

Panic bloomed in my chest as I lifted my hand quickly to my visor and pressed the button that would bring my eyesight back. It had probably been bumped to on earlier when I was seeing the visions and I hadn't noticed. I pressed the button.

Nothing happened.

I pressed it again. And again. And again. The panic in my chest was growing stronger and I tried to control my breathing. I couldn't see. Why couldn't I see?

"Shoto…" I whispered and he didn't respond, at least not directly.

"As long as we don't run into any villains it should only take us five minutes to get ba-"

"Shoto!" I said again, more loudly, my voice cracking from the strain. I could feel tears building in my eyes and I tried to hold them back. "I can't see."

The movement stopped again. "What do you mean you can't see?" He asked in a hard voice.

"I mean I can't see anything! I- I-… there's nothing."

I swallowed against the bubbling hysteria in my throat.

My eyesight was gone.


Boom. Sorry.

I kept it shorter for dramatic effect, sorry, but hopefully you enjoyed it, and the little flashback regardless. Thank you for the continued support guys!
