Midoriya felt obligated to dress nicely. He had no reason for it, but he had the urge to dress to impress. He shifted through his closet looking for something to wear, just ANYTHING that didn't make him look like fanboy. Him, Mina, Uraraka, Jirou, Kirishima, and Yaoyorozu were heading to the mall in half an hour. Yet, out of nowhere, he suddenly felt it was like a date. Finally, he found a rather casual outfit, and thanked the gods above he had it. He watched a video on how to dress casually and eventually was ready. Kirishima knocked at his door, "Hey Midoriya, think you can keep the girls company for me right now? I need to find my wallet real fast."

"Oh sure. Uhm, you don't need help finding it?"

"Nah, just give me a sec. I probably left it in my room."

Once Kirishima left in a hurry, Midoriya headed for the common room to find the girls, Yaoyorozu catching his eyes immediately. She had on a periwinkle long sleeve that covered her hands, hugging her curvaceous figure. In addition, she wore a cozy black hoodie with the same sleeve length as her long sleeve, and slim fit jeans. Thankfully she was turned away so as not to see his blush following the short stare he gave.

"Hey Midoriya, nice outfit. Who knew you were hiding a keen fashion sense." Kirishima had caught him by suprise. His call out also made some of the common room occupants turn around.

The girls gasped and smiled over his outfit. Midoriya wore a white button up shirt with the the top 2 buttons undone, showing the start of a toned chest with a black hoodie. Grey jeans and a pair of casual dress shoes completed his look, although he had no memory of where he got them from. Judging from "her" reaction, he was going to buy more like them.

"s-so, are y-you girls ready to head out?" He asked trying not to sound bashful and failing miserably.

"You bet! Come on everybody, let's get spending!" replied mina cheerfully

As they arrived at the mall, 5'o clock was inching closer. They all decided to keep the shopping short so as to make it back in time for the 6'o clock curfew. After their shopping spree, still having a good amount in the spending budget, the six left for a grocery story. Once done there, the snow began to fall outside. The teens wanted to mess around in the flakes so badly but they had to leave quickly. As they arrived at Heights Alliance, tired and hungry, most of them went to bed. Yaoyorozu and Midoriya decided to stay with a few friends in the common room, before leaving for the night.

Yaoyorozu was admittedly disappointed that no real moment had occurred between them, so she made an effort to think of a conversation. She knew it was kind of forcing things, but her curiosity of him was killing her. 'I hope he doesn't see this as in intrusion. He did say I was a source of comfort.' She swallowed her fears and quietly followed him to his room to avoid attention. Once at his door she called him out in private. "Midoriya, can I speak with you a moment?"

"Oh. uuugh..Y-Yaoyorozu. What's up?" He once again ate his tongue over the creation user.

"It's about your quirk..." Midoriya froze.

'Is she figuring out about One For All'

"In the beginning, you were hurting yourself so badly, literally breaking yourself on every use of your power. There's something that's been bugging me about that." She may have forced the conversation to a degree, but she wasn't lying about her desire to know. "How many times did you go through that much pain, just to practice using it." Her face became full if concern as she anticipated his answer.

"Well... not exa... Let's just say I had to prepare myself for me to manifest it in the first place." Yaoyorozu then dragged Midoriya into his room, her worry now mixed with a tinge of annoyance.

She sat him down on his bed and took a seat at his desk chair. The atmosphere felt like it was an interrogation. "Alright, I want to know the truth Midoriya. If I'm really a source of comfort, if Iida and Uraraka really are your friends, why don't you tell us more about yourself?"

Midoriya kept his eyes to his lap. "Because I'm Deku. It may be a proud hero name, but I'm still Izuku Midoriya. Meeting Iida and Uraraka were flukes at best. There's no way I could've made great friends like then on my own, and you. Your so precious and full of life, you may have gotten here by recommendations, and you may be rich, but your so humble and caring. I'm unremarkable in so many ways. I may be striving to amazing, but the chance of staying useless is always as great as my dream."

Yaoyorozu was shocked. She had always assumed he had gained some level of pride or confidence at the very least. Now he seemed so...

Vulnerable.

She then put her hands to his cheeks, trying to pry his face upwards. "Your already amazing. You've done so much at the cost of your own benefit. I mean look at your hands, they're..." She had moved her hands to his so as to turn them over. Her eyes went wide with horror and fear.

Midoriya started to speak, making tears well up in her eyes. "Please... I-I need s-some time alone. Just leave me alone Momo..." She let go of his hands and ran out of his room.

Yaoyorozu had put her hands to her mouth as she began to tear up. By the time she reached the common room, she was a sobbing mess. Falling to her knees, she layed on her sides on the common room floor. Everyone turned from the couches, only to quickly run over to the girl. Jirou went to the floor and pulled Yaoyorozu into a comforting hug. "Yaomomo, what's wrong!?"

"It's Midoriya." she said crying. "He told me I was his comfort, someone who cared for others. Yet, I-I-I... I never noticed." Particularly the other four who had just hung out with them, everyone was worried as to what possibly went down. Soon Bakugo entered the room.

"What the hell is going on!?" he said in his usual angry tone.

Yaoyorozu shot up and smacked Bakugo clean across the face. With puffy eyes, she glared at him. The whole room was dead silent. "I know you bullied Midoriya long before U.A. You are such a SCUMBAG for what's happened to him!"

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR! We made up in the fight at field gamma! You know what forget it!" He turned around and started walking away. "I'll find out from that nerd myself."
