ARC 3: Coming for Highschool

Chapter 10: Pants

"For the last time, I fell, not jumped! There's a difference," Ai yelled, but then immediately backtracked. "Well, I did jump, BUT TO THE OTHER BUILDING DOOFUS!"

"That's not the point, and you know it." Hanabi grinned mischievously as Ai's eyebrows twitched, her expressions were always so extreme and readable. She was trying to justify herself so desperately. Looking at her own phone, Hanabi's grin widened. "But man, to be saved by that Hawks~ What was it like to be in his strong, masculine arms?"

After blanching for a moment, Ai lunged towards the phone. "GIMME THAT – and seriously, where did you get that picture?! Almost immediately he hid me with his wings… Also that's so gross, don't ever describe Hawks that way, yuck..."

Inwardly, Hanabi smirked; she really was so easy to tease.

Giving an almost disappointed sigh, Hanabi shook her head. "I thought you would know by now, my resources extend far and beyond."

"Yeah, stupid resources you pimp out at for memes and stalker-ish images of your friends." Ai's voice was as deadpan as her expression.

"Blackmailing is an industry with a lot of profit."

"... Did you just call blackmailing an industry?"

Shiori who arrived a few moments ago with her food placed a hand on Hanabi's shoulder. "Interesting. Hanabi, what sources do you use?" There was a disconcerting smile on her face, but Hanabi didn't see anything off about it.

"Stop that!" Getting up, Ai pulled on Shiori's cheek, causing her expression to scrunch up. "Don't just stupidly go on using your thing on people, geez, I'm sure Hanabi would be glad to tell you without it."

Looking at this interaction, Hanabi herself raised an eyebrow; she was always aware of their closeness, but she still found it strange how only Ai could tell when Shiori activated what Hanabi thought was her quirk.

"Nah," said Hanabi cheekily. In all honesty, she didn't particularly care about those sources – but just to annoy Shiori a little…

That certain smile returned on Shiori's face, and Ai pulled on her cheek again. "I said, stop that."

Present Mic's voice was blasting from the television, building up excitement for the UA sports festival; it wasn't live though, Izuku and Ai had already watched it live whilst it was airing – for the third years, but being the fanboy Izuku was he had recorded the second year and first year's sports festival as well.

Which was what they were watching right now – the second year's sports festival.

Popcorn and other snacks were lying around on the table in-front of the couch that both of them sat on, hyping up as they watched the sports festival. It had been a while since they had last hung out, Izuku being busy. From how he was attaining a leaner and athletically muscled figure - and from the weights and the such laying around, she guessed it was due to him training for the upcoming UA entrance exams next year.

It wasn't like she was free either, with the high pressure of her school there was now also the dojo and then the time spent training with Hawks.

"And the obstacle race begins! Many of the students have dashed off already, all trying to ferociously keep in lead – oh, player Mirio just got stark naked in the back –"

Seeing a flash of a naked butt, Ai shrieked and immediately dove towards Izuku and covered his eyes.

"Why are you covering my eyes?!" He attempted to wriggle off her hands.

"Oh, true," she said, sliding her hands off. "You're packing the same thing as he is after all."

"That's not what I meant -"

And then she rotated her head to look back at the television screen –

"- AI NO DON'T LOOK –"

It was too late.

Screaming, she bounced back into the couch with a sob and hands painfully clawing at her eyes. "Whyyy! Why did I have to see that?! MY EYES!"

"DON'T BLIND YOURSELF GODDAMMIT AI -"

"Player Mirio is still struggling with his pants as he moves on forth – dammit either wear your pants or run! Choose one! MOVE THE CAMERAS – MOVE THE CAMERAS WE GOTTA KEEP THIS PG RATED –"

"Ai-san?!"

Stumbling onto the roof, surprised Ai looked down – Iroha was looking at her with light bewilderment, her cerulean eyes wide. "Hehe, 'ello Iroha-chan," Ai called out sweetly to her, a grin stretching across her face. There it was, her cute little friend, Iroha.

"Wha-What are you doing on top of that building?!"

"I'm on a search for Takanashi-sensei' underwear," Ai replied, looking as serious as ever – which was not at all.

"Takanashi-sensei's?..." Iroha furrowed her eyebrows, taking Ai's words as truth despite all the conversations they had in the past joking about all the students' infatuation with him, all because of the current absurdity of the situation.

"It's a joke," Ai added, seeing that she took her seriously. "Hawks, that dummy, is teaching me parkour!"

"Parkour - Hawks as in that hero?!..." Iroha looked off to where he flew off to. "He's already gone, don't you have to stick by him?..."

Leaning over the building – causing Iroha to let out a worried gasp - Ai continued smiling down at her. "It's okay! We're just returning to his office now anyways." With that, Ai quickly jumped down the two storey building, relishing in Iroha's worry as she safely rolled onto the ground.

"Ai-san!" Rushing up to Ai, Iroha quickly began inspecting Ai for injuries.

Stiffening, Ai laughed awkwardly over Iroha's fussing and another invasion of her private space. "A-Ah ha, I'm fine Iroha-chan."

Tightly gripping onto Ai's arms, Iroha looked into her eyes with irritated worry. "You just did that dangerous stunt, why do you constantly do stuff like that Ai-san?!... It's worrisome…" Her voice lost its strength near the end, her grasp on Ai's arms loosening.

Guilt filled Ai, and she evaded Iroha's eyes. "I'm sorry… But I mean, isn't that usually good?"

"Are you saying that about jumping off of buildings," she snapped, remaining stubborn. "You're fun and a risk-taker, but stuff like that is scary and dangerous when you don't put a limit on it. Don't you ever think of yourself? Or even about how the people around you feel?" With that, she let go of Ai and looked where Hawks went off, still somewhat upset. "Anyways, don't you have to catch up to him? You should go soon or you'll lose sight of him."

"…" Staring at her for a moment, Ai immediately grabbed Iroha's hand and pulled her along. "Sure! But you have to come with me!" Ai grinned. "I'll walk you home after that, Iroha-chan! No very dangerous stunts, I promise."

Looking surprised for a moment, Iroha turned away to the side with a pout. "My home is in the opposite direction of his agency..."

"A-Ah, right, sorry!"
