GAME START
It was the finale.
The prize of surpassing their classmates and taking number one spot just a few feet away. Though not official, their impromtu summer gathering sparked a competitive nature within the boys at the thought of a swimming competition.
But beneath the good natured laughs, a second unofficial and possibly even more sought out prize waited for them at the end of the pool.
"Good Luck!" A melodic voice called out.
The three boys twitched at the sight.
Standing upright on a diving block at the opposite end of the pool was their bubbly classmate, Kagome Higurashi. She, like the other girls in their class, was dressed in their standard swimming uniform. Though providing sufficient coverage, the light lycra-like material hugged and curved a lot more than what the boys were used to seeing. Her long onyx hair glistened and hung near her hips, still wet from the pool.
A sight that alone made it worth participating in the strenuous aquatic exercise, if only they did not share it with the rest of the male population of their class.
A sweet smile reflected their way.
Izuku Midoriya, Shoto Todoroki, and Katasuki Bakugo shared piercing side glances at one another before returning their gaze towards the waving heroine in training.
They were competing for a lot more than their pride today.
'I'll fly across all at once,' Katsuki crouched, stretching his arms behind him, 'This is my win!'
'I'll slide through,' Shoto planned, his finger tips frosting an icy blue.
'I'll swim to the finish with everything I've got!' Izuku promised as he took a diving position.
'Watch me, Kagome!/Gome-Chan!/Kagome-San!'
"GET SET!" Lida called out before giving a sharp whistle.
Class IA took in a sharp breath as each boy leaped off their starting blocks.
Confidence burned in their hearts and limbs as each competitors quirks immediately fired off beneath them. However sharp gasps and shouts echoed as all three flopped unceremoniously into the water.
"It's 5PM," A familiar drawl cut in, "Your pool use time has now ended. Hurry up and go home."
The class turned to greet their Homeroom Teacher.
"But Aizawa-sensei!" Denki began.
"We just got started!" Sato continued.
Piercing red sparked in the underground Hero's usual tired gaze.
"Did you say something?"
"Nothing, sir!"
The students immediately broke apart, quickly picking up after themselves to escape the intense gaze of their teacher.
One however wasn't as lucky.
"Kagome."
Said student froze in her tracks before making her way towards the brooding figure with a sheepish smile.
"Hai...Tou-San?"
"You forgot to take your phone," Though monotone, the warning was still loud and clear.
Kagome giggled nervously, she knew she forgot something when running out of the apartment.
An exasperated sigh escaped Aizawa as he took in his daughters sheepish smile. He dug into his pocket pulling out a familiar pink flip phone.
A squeal escaped from the girl as she reached to take her phone. But was quickly thwarted as it was pulled out of reach.
"Message me where you're going after."
Kagome nodded dutifully with a smile.
"Don't stay out too late."
She saluted cheekily, "Yes, Sir!"
"...Go get dressed," Aizawa concluded, unblinking as he was promptly brought into a wet hug by his charge. He brought his arm down, allowing the phone to be taken from his grasp before patting the blue-eyed girl's head.
"I'll see you later Tou-San!"
Still lingering in the pool, the three downed boys watched with varying degrees of interest. That is until bloodshot eyes shot down at them with killing intent.
They quickly vacated the pool and joined their classmates.
Aizawa was left growling under his breath as he cursed the hormone-muddled teenagers. He knew exactly what the boys were thinking and may have took a bit more pleasure in cancelling out their quirks in time to have them all belly flopping into the water.
He couldn't be there 24/7 beside his only child but that did not stop him from pulling all the stops when he was. She could get a boyfriend when he was 10 feet underground and had the ability to haunt them.
