Author's Notes: This story is an A.R. (Alternate Reality) and begin between Izuku Midoriya graduating Middle School and entering U.A… So, if you don't like this, don't waste both your time and mine by leaving a nasty review. Also, this is full of ridiculous Fluff. A birthday Fic for my good friend, and self-adopted brother the Dark-one!
Izuku bounced foot to foot, excitement racing through him. He had achieved one of his life goals. In a week, he would begin to attend U.A. to become a Hero, like his own, All Might. And to make it all that much better, he had gotten to train with All Might to take the entrance exam. Smiling widely as he opened the door to Hero-Bucks, intent on getting his favorite drink. A Matcha and Chocolate and Mint Frappe, Venti.
It was a secret pleasure, and as far as he knew, no one else liked this drink. Of course, he could imagine the teasing Kaa-chan would dish out if he knew. But right now, Izuku was on cloud nine and wouldn't let anything get him down. This was his time to shine and celebrate what he had achieved.
"Wait, wait... I am sure I have it here somewhere!"
Izuku stopped and looked to see who was seeming to panic, only to see a ash-blonde haired girl, who looked a year or two older than him. Her hand was frantically patting herself down. It didn't take him long to figure out she couldn't find her wallet and wanted her drink. His mother had instilled manners into him, and he had always been the helpful type, so he stepped up and smiled at the girl.
"Hey, would mind if I paid for your drink, along with mine?" He asked.
The way the girl came to a stop as she whipped her head around to look at him in shock. A blush was creeping across her face as she dipped her head, causing her messy ash-blond hair bouncing wildly from where it had come to lose from the twin buns on her head. Izuku realized immediately that she probably wasn't used to someone being kind to her. A feeling he was semi-familiar with.
"Sure, if it doesn't inconvenience you..." she mumbled.
Giving a quick shake of his head, Izuku looked at the barista who looked relieved.
"You want your usual? Or something new?" the woman asked.
Flashing a broad smile, Izuku gave his reply, "I would like my usual Venti, Matcha and Chocolate and Mint Frappe, please."
When the barista smiled and nodded and rang up his drink and the girls, Izuku looked over at the girl. Only to jerk back at the mix of shock and amazement on her face. It felt as if she was analyzing him, assessing for some reason.
"I thought I was the only one who liked that particular blend of flavors," the girl said, her voice barely a whisper.
Feel a bit embarrassed, Izuku raised a hand and scratched at his cheek as he felt the blood rush to his face.
"To tell the truth, I thought I was the only one, as well," Izuku finally said after a few long awkward seconds. "Oh, my manners. My name is Izuku Midoriya."
Again he watched as the girl had that mixed look of shock and amazement appear on her face. But when she smiled back at him, he couldn't help but notice how it lit her face up.
"Ah, that is right, manners," she stated. "Thank you. And my name is Himiko Toga, nice to meet you."
Izuku gave a quick nod of his head as the sound of a brief cough drew his attention back to the barista. Seeing the amused look on her face, Izuku ducked his head and grabbed both the Venti's, before handing one to Himiko. The last thing he needed was the barista to tease him and tell his mother about this whole encounter.
"Hey, would you like to... you know... Take a walk and talk, while we enjoy our drink?" Himiko asked.
Relief rushed through him at Himiko's suggestion, Izuku gave another small nod of his head as he turned and began to walk to the door. He had made a friend, or he hoped. And he felt that they probably had more in common other than their odd taste in drinks. Izuku was always up for making new friends.
THE END!
