"Of all the things that Toru could've done, was pulling Iida's pants down really the best way to catch him off guard?" Jiro sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. Trying her best to erase the image of the engine quirk user's underwear out of her brain.

"Y-yeah...I don't really know what to think about that one." Midoriya replied.

Class was out for the day for the would be heroes. The rest of the training exercises went by smoothly for the other students. Bakugou had managed a relatively easy victory in his group. Tokoyami won his and Todoroki's group after using dark shadow to scale the side of the building and throw himself over the turrets. Yaoyorozu's group did not have a winner after time expired due to all four of the students getting into a battle in the street next to the building. And in the biggest surprise of the day, Hagakure won her group after distracting Iida by pantsing him from behind. Giving the invisible girl enough time to make a mad dash to the turrets, somehow avoiding the first wave of gunfire and grabbing the flag for herself.

As the two students were making their way back to the dorms Jiro could feel her heart ready to beat out of her chest. To say that she was nervous would be an understatement. After their training round the purpled haired girl considered asking him if he was free on Saturday right then and there when they were relaxing in the viewing room. But she quickly realized that the timing was not right at all. There were too many people around and although she wouldn't admit it, when the moment of truth came she chickened out. Right now was a different story. The two of them were alone, finally. There was no one else on the hall and nothing to cause a distraction.

"Hey Izuku, you got anything planned this weekend?" She asked, twisting her left earphonejack in her finger to calm her nerves.

"This weekend?" The boy replied, suddenly his mind went back to his last conversation with Ashido. "U-u-uh, no I d-don't have anything...nothing a-at all." He stuttered out, failing at controlling his words.

"Oh, well did you maybe-"

"Hey! Hey you with the green hair!" Jiro was interrupted by a familiar voice. When the two turned around to see who it was they were surprised to see the peculiar ruby skinned girl from the other day running towards them. 'Where the hell did she come from?'

"What the heck does she want?" Jiro asked, the boy only responding with a curious shrug. It only took a few seconds before the female student in question was standing in front of them, panting from running all the way down the hall.

"You're Izuku Midoriya right!" She asked the quirk inheritor.

"Y-yeah."

"Awesome! We didn't formally greet the other day when I bumped into you, sorry about that again. But I'm Haia Taura, I work for the school newspaper and I was wondering if you'd let me interview you for my article."

"W-what?" The boy said failing to hide his shock. "Y-y-you want to interview me?"

"Heck yeah! You're one of the most talked about kids in school. A lot of people want the scoop on the 'wild child' first year who not only survived a run-in with the 'Hero Killer' but took down a yakuza boss."

"I-I don't really know what to say." He responded sheepishly, bumping his two index fingers together.

"Please." The red skinned girl learned into the boy, getting in more than a little close. "I'm trying to get an article published on the front page which has never been done by a second year. Doing this for me would really help me out."

"Uhm..okay." Midoriya nervously replied. As much as he wanted to decline he just couldn't say no to a person in need.

"Ahh, you're the best!" Taura squealed as she hugged the boy, causing Midoriya's face to go bright red.

"Ahem…." Jiro coughed, trying to get the attention of the person currently bear hugging her friend.

"Oh sorry, I didn't notice you there. Oh wait, you're Jiro right!"

"Yeah…"

"Oh my, I loved your performance at the cultural festival. Your voice is absolutely beautiful."

"Thanks."

"Ooh, do you think that you can do an interview with me too? It'd be great for the 'Performing Arts' section of the paper this month. Oh wait, I can just interview two of you together. Kill two birds with one stone, y'know." She said with a grin, revealing a set of elongated canines.

"Really?" The purple haired girl inquired.

"Of course! Having the first ever interview with two future heroes would just be amazing! C'mon what do you say?"

"I guess so…" The purple haired girl shrugged

"Alright!" Taura cheered one more time before grabbing Midoriya by the arm. "Before we do anything we need to go back to the Journalism club's office and get everything set up with the editor, plus she really wants to meet you. It won't take longer than fifteen minutes, I promise." Before Midoriya or Jiro could even respond he was quickly whisked away by the red skinned girl, leaving a cloud a dust in their path.

"Hey, where the he-"

"Cable Ears!" The unmistakable voice of Bakugou shouted, gaining Jiro's attention.

"Can I help you?" She asked, wondering what he possibly could want with her.

"Come with me, we need to have a little talk!" He said as he waved her on, not taking any time even look in her direction.

'Why do I have the feeling that I'm not going to like this?'

When it came to Katsuki Bakugou, class 1-A's resident hotheaded explosion quirk user, Jiro did what she could to actively avoid interacting with him as much as much as possible. Not only was he prideful, rude and loud, the blonde haired boy was just genuinely no fun to be around. Ever since first arriving at U.A. she knew that he was the type of person only interested in being a hero just for sake of being number one. The type of person only interested in the title and recognition. If she had to make a comparison then it would be simple, Midoriya was more like All Might while Bakugou favored Endeavor. How Kirishima and Kaminari could stand being around him so much was a complete mystery to her.

What was a bigger mystery to her was the situation she currently found herself in. Ten minutes ago Bakugou had told her to follow him, lead her back to the dorms, walked her all the way up to the roof and was now staring at her with his usual scowl. For some reason however, the look in his eyes was slightly more intense than normal. The dusty blonde was generally pretty easy to read since he only ever expressed emotions ranging from fury to anger, but this time was different.

"Look I don't know what you brought me up here for bu-"

"You know don't you?" He spat out with the usual venom in his voice.

"What?" She responded.

"Don't play dumb cable ears, you know what I mean. You know about shitty Deku and 'One for All'."

As much as Jiro wanted to end the conversation right there and leave she knew that it was not going to happen. One, because Bakugou was blocking the only exit off of the roof. Two, because she knew that this interaction they were about to have was going to have to happen sooner or later. "And what if I do?"

"Tch, figures. That idiot can't keep a damn secret to save his life."

"Is there a problem with me knowing?"

"Yeah, you're just some extra who's in on possibly one of the biggest secrets in the country. I don't like that very much."

"Well Midoriya and All Might don't seem to have a problem with it all. So as far as I'm concerned your opinion doesn't really matter. Look, if that's all you wanted to talk about then you got your answer. I'm out of here."

"So how'd you find out? What, did shitty Deku blab about it while two were acting all buddy-buddy?"

"That's really none of your business. Now move aside."

"I can't believe that jackass let someone else find out, what a loser." The blonde boy's words causing a bit of irritation in Jiro.

"What's your problem with Izuku anyway?" Jiro asked, not really knowing where the question came from. "He told me that you two actually used to be friends when you were kids. What did he ever do to you that was so bad to warrant so much bad blood."

"He looked down on me."

"What?" She responded, genuinely confused at hs reply.

"You heard me. Ever since we were little, that loser's always been looking down on me. Always trying to help me out when I don't need it, taunting me, thinking I'm weak. Even though I had a quirk that was awesome and he was a quirkless loser, he always thought I was someone who needed his rescue."

"You can't be serious…."

"I am, and now that motherfucker has All Might's quirk and I can't stand it."

This couldn't have been it. This really couldn't have been the reason why he acted that way towards Midoriya. Confusion washed over Jiro with each passing second. Ever since the two had become friends Midoriya had mentioned a few times about having been bullied for not being born with a quirk. Unfortunately it was no surprise to Jiro that it happened. Although quirkless people were a rarity, they were almost always treated like second class citizens. Given how Midoriya acted when first arriving at U.A. he no doubt received a fair share of that treatment. However, the main culprit for the green haired boy's suffering was now standing a mere three meters away from her.

This guy, Bakugou. The guy, who during their first practical training session almost killed Midoriya, looked her right in the eye and told her that he hated her friend so much because he "looked down on him" for trying to help him. The same Midoriya that has time and time again put his own life at risk to save others. The same Midoriya who who was deemed worthy enough by All Might himself to receive 'One For All'. That was impossible, there was something more to this. She doubted that she'd be able to dive deeper into it, but that didn't make her any less irritated.

"Wow, that's really how you feel, huh?"

"In any case don't get in my way. I have a score to settle with that green haired loser and I don't need you butting in." He said, ponting in her direction.

"You know, I finally get you Bakugou." Jiro chuckled.

"What?"

"You're threatened by him. You view Izuku as someone weaker than you, but everyone else disagrees. He's more liked by others, respected and has gotten more praise than you ever since we started going to here. On top of that, he's gotten exponentially better with his quirk while you haven't." As much as Jiro's instincts were telling her to stop right there, her mouth for some reason kept going. "Pretty much everyone in class has made leaps and bounds with their quirks and overall abilities but you haven't."

"What the hell did you s-"

"Everyone is getting better and improving while you just stayed the same angry ole Bakugou. On top of that, the only people who liked you enough were the League of Villains. They liked you so much that because of you they almost killed some of our classmates just to try and recruit you. Must be nice to feel so appreciated. If you ask me, you're more cut out to be a villain than a hero."

"You've got five seconds to take back what you just said or else I-"

"I won't, so you can keep your empty threats." Jiro said with a bit of smug as she placed her hands in her jacket pocket and went back to her trademark 'aloof' face. "Now step aside 'Firecracker', I have some stuff to take care of." With a quick bump of the shoulders the purple haired girl moved her now increasingly furious classmate out of the way and walked through the door, not waiting to see the boy's reaction to her words. 'I'm probably going to regret doing that later on.' She thought while quickly making her way down the steps.

Taking a moment to fully process what she had just done, the earphonejack user leaned up against a wall to catch her breath. What was that about? Why the hell did she do that? She literally just stood up to probably the most frightening guy in class just because he had some pointless personal grudge with Midoriya. She already made it a point to avoid the dusty blonde whenever possible, but after that she was now considering taking extra precautions to not cross his path again any time soon.

She sighed before taking out her cellphone, opening the text app and scrolling to her most recent conversations. She wasn't sure if it was the adrenaline in her body or what, but she opened the chat between her and Midoriya.

Microphone: We need to talk. ASAP

All Might: Sure Kyoka. I just got back to my room, but I can meet you in the common area.

Microphone: Don't bother. I'll be at your door in a couple of minutes.

All Might: Okay

The wave emotions going through Jiro's body right now was difficult to describe. Minutes ago she had just told off Bakugou for no discernible reason at all and now she was standing in front of Midoriya's door, hesitant to knock. She knew he was in there, because of her quirk she could hear the sound of his pencil writing down in his notebook. But, for some reason she just couldn't bring herself to place her hand on the door. The combination of nerves and adrenaline were still very much in effect for her. This would be the first time that she ever set foot inside the boy's room. After a deep sigh she finally let her hand tap away at the door.

"C-come in!" The boy said, startled at the rapping at his chamber door. Upon entering the room Jiro was met with the familiar sight of all of Midoriya's All Might memorabilia. His room was practically a shrine to the former 'Symbol of Peace.'

"Has it ever struck you as odd that you have your entire room dedicated to All Might-sensei? It's kind of strange to have posters and toys of someone that you know on a personal level."

"I-I just really respect him…" Midoriya replied bashfully.

"Sorry if you were busy, I can come back later."

"No, i-it's fine. I just got back anyway."

"Oh yeah, so what happened after that Taura girl ran off with you?"

"She took me back to the Journalism club's office and had me meet their editor. Apparently she's friends with Miro-senpai and really wanted to talk to me."

"That's not too bad."

"Yeah, after a quick chat she told me that we're good to do that interview for the school paper either next Thursday or Friday. I told her that I'd have to check with you first, y'know if still were up for it."

"Yeah, that's fine. Either day is good for me."

"Okay, I'll let her know that we can do it next Thursday."

"Cool."

"So...w-what did you want to talk about?"

Jiro sighed again for what felt like the thousandth time that day. She sat on his bed to make herself more comfortable. "Well, I just had a pretty interesting conversation with a certain hotheaded blonde asshole."

"You...y-you talked to Kacchan?!"

"Yeah." She replied, only to be met with Midoriya's mumbling about what that could possibly mean. Even though she possessed super hearing it was difficult for her to keep up with everything that he was saying. The only real words she could make out were: 'unexpected', 'One for All', 'future' and 'development'.

"Izuku, chill out."

"Sorry, it's just...nevermind. So what happened?"

"Well, he took me up to roof and straight up asked me if I knew about 'One for All'. I told him that I did, he got all cranky about it, then I told him off for being such as asshole to you. Bottom line is I'm pretty sure I'm on his shitlist now. So if I get 'accidentally' blown up during class one day, you know why." She said nonchalantly, leaning back onto the boy's bed. She took a second to notice the astonishment on Midoriya's face. A reaction that she was expecting.

"B-but, that's not the only thing I wanted to talk to you about actually."

"W-what's the other thing?"

"So...I didn't really plan on doing this in this way, or at all to be honest. But, I tried to do it earlier and then you got scooped up by that Taura girl. Then Bakugou happened and I'm still not over that and now I'm all worked up and…" She was now sitting up, looking Midoriya directly in the eyes. She paused for a brief moment, realizing all the stress of what she about to do was finally hitting her. The last time she felt this anxious was when she asked the classmate sitting in front of her about 'One for All'.

'Calm down Kyoka, it's just one question!'

"What I'm trying to say is...Izuku, do you want to go on a date with me this Saturday?" There, she said it. It happened, what's done is done, she said it and now there was no going back.

After the words came out of her mouth the purpled haired girl immediately looked down to hide her face, not sure of what to expect. The room grew silent for a moment, silent enough to isolate the sound of Midoriya's heart which was now beating faster than she had thought possible. It almost sounded like he was having a heart attack. She looked up at the green haired boy only to be met with what was now essentially a statue. His face was pale, his body was completely rigid and Jiro wasn't sure if he was looking at her or through her.

"Izuku? Hey, you okay in there?" She inquired while waving her hands in front of his face.

"I-I'm sorry Kyoka, I think I blacked out just now." The green haired boy chuckled, finally snapping back to his senses. "For a second there, it sounded like you asked me if I w-wanted to go out on a date."

"I did."

"Yeah, super crazy I know." He laughed again.

"Izuku..."

"L-like, why on Earth would you w-want to ask me out. The whole concept is totally crazy."

"Mophead…."

"I mean, I know Ashido-san and Todoroki-kun asked about you already this week. But to be honest I thought that they were just joking around. L-like, why would you want to ask me of all people out on a d-date. Sure we're good friends and all and I think you're very attractive and you're really fun to be around and…."

"Izuku, calm down!" Jiro placed her hands on the boy's shoulders in an effort to snap him out of his mumbling.

"Huh?"

"Look, I know this is kind of out the blue and all, but I need an answer. Do you want to go on a date with me?"

"I..I…" Once again words had managed to fail him. The only thing he could do was let out a small squeak as he gave his answer. "Y-yes."

"Ahh!" Ashido yelled, startling both of her classmates. "I can't believe he actually said 'yes'. Operation get Kyoka and Midoriya together was a success!" She continued, jumping up and down her tackily decorated bed while holding out a victory sign with her right hand.

"This is so exciting." Yaoyorozu added. "I'm surprised he actually agreed to it that quick."

"Well for a moment I thought that he was going to have a heart attack, but yeah he said 'yes'." Jiro was doing her best to hide the blush on her face but knew that it was a pointless effort.

"This is so awesome. So what happened after that? C'mon spill it." Ashido chirped, failing to hide her excitement at the news.

"Nothing really. It got kinda awkward so I told him that I'd give him the details later and left."

"In any case, this is great. We already have the reservations set up and ready to go. Saturday is going to go off without a hitch."

"Yeah, but there's just one other thing." Jiro said while pointing one of her earphonejacks at Ashido. A bead of sweat coming down the back of the pinkett's head.

"Izuku told me that the two of you had a nice little talk the other day. Care to explain?"

"Oh...uh…haha." Was the Pinkett's only response before she got an earphonejack to the neck. She made a mental note to remember to get Midoriya back for not keeping his mouth shut.
