Kamiko sat in her office in the agency. It was the last week of summer break, and she was not at all excited to go back to school. She was able to get ahead on her manga during break, but not as much as she would have liked, mainly due to a certain blonde. Gosh, it still seems surreal, she thought as she touched her lips.

"Good afternoon!" she heard Clearvo shout from the lobby down stairs. Kamiko walked out of her office and leaned over the railing at the lobby below.

"Clearvo what are you doing here? Don't you have a day off?" Kamiko asked.

"Huh? Yeah, but I've got nothing to do, so I came to train," Clearvo smiled at Kamiko. Train... Kamiko almost forgot that the agency had a massive training facility. Right now the heroes were out, and her mind was too messed up to focus on her manga, so she followed Clearvo into their gym with all the weight training machines.

"So um... Tenmoku-kun..." Kamiko muttered. Clearvo nearly choked on his spit when he heard his surname come out of the silver haired woman. She has never called him by his name before, and it caught him by surprise.

"Um, Senri is fine, Senpai," he replied awkwardly.

Kamiko nodded, a blush forming on her cheeks. "Um, Senri-kun, do you guys normally come here during breaks? Shouldn't you use this time to get some rest?" she asked. Clearvo could immediately tell where she was going with this.

He started hopping in place as a warm up. As he was hopping, he said, "Well us heroes and sidekicks normally don't get off days, and even when we do, we're kinda expected to spend those days conditioning our body. Some heroes use off days as rest days, but in the Bakugou hero agency, we're technically expected to come in and do some muscle training."

"Even Bakugou?"

"The boss used to come religiously on his off days, but well, he hasn't done that in a while since...you know,"Clearvo said as he started to do hip rotations. Kamiko leaned on the triceps machine and let out a soft hum in response.

So he hasn't been able to get a lot of training in because of me... Her eyes trailed down guiltily. Clearvo pulled his leg back to get a stretch in his hamstrings. He glanced at Kamiko, and then peered to the side, a slight blush forming on his cheeks. "Um...Senpai... Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that a hickey on your neck?" he asked.

Kamiko clasped a hand to the left side of her neck, remembering the night before. Her face turned beet red as her jaws dropped to the ground. "H-How did you- I-I-I mean of course you'd see it you can see everything..." she stuttered.

"Well, uh, I'm not using my quirk actually... It's...quite obvious..." a drop of sweat rolled down the side of his temple nervously as he turned his head away to hide his blush. Kamiko also turned her face away in embarrassment. Clearvo teases Bakugou a lot about Kamiko, and he's usually very comfortable talking about these kind of things, but that's only if he's talking to another man.

Kamiko squatted down on the ground, steam coming out of her ears. "Oh god... You mean to tell me everyone saw this?" she asked.

"Most likely..." Clearvo walked to the power cage. "Um... So are you and Bakugou-senpai like...dating now?"

Kamiko lifted her head up at the boy, who lifted the weight from the rack, adjusting it at his shoulder and started doing squats. "No...we're not..." she muttered, though audible enough for him to hear.

"Huh? Why not?!" I could have sworn you two like each other, he thought.

Kamiko tucked a loose strand of hair that was in her face behind her ear. "I don't think he likes putting labels on things..." she answered.

"Huh? Oooo...kay?" Clearvo raised a brow. Was Bakugou-senpai that kinda person? He wondered as he set the weights back on the rack. He circled his neck around, and shook his legs, relaxing his muscles. "That's weird..." From what he can tell, Bakugou really likes Kamiko. Although he indeed doesn't seem like the type to care about labels, he also doesn't seem like the type to reject labels.

"Do you know if...he had any past relationships?" Kamiko asked nervously. She tapped her heels on the ground unconsciously as her eyes trailed downward. It was a dumb question. He must have been with plenty of pretty girls. But... She couldn't help but want to know, what was Bakugou like with the other girls? Was he just as gentle? Did he not want to be official with them either?

Clearvo hummed softly as he thought about it. "Well he's had a few hook ups that I know of, but no relationships," Clearvo said.

"Hook ups?" Kamiko raised a brow.

Ah shit, probably shouldn't have said that. A nervous sweat glided down the back of his head. "Well you know, like... Just... Once or twice... I mean there's kinda this whole system for us professional heroes and sidekicks to kinda...like...release steam while avoiding scandals... I've hooked up with a few female sidekicks too you know..."

"Release steam...?" Her brows were now knitted, and Clearvo could clearly tell that she wasn't happy with where this was going.

"I mean... We are men... Plus you know, as adults we get horny sometimes..." Oh god... I'm so sorry boss. "But Bakugou-senpai has only done it once or twice, like literally he's not a very needy person at all! Hahaha! Unlike me, I'm horny as fuck!" His face was as red as a tomato. God what the hell am I saying? "You know what never mind! Forget I said anything! Please!" He covered his face and turned away.

Of course she knew that adults get horny. She's a fucking adult too, and she's constantly reading and watching BL. She herself is a horny mess all the time, so she can understand fully well that even heroes need to take care of their sexual needs. She doesn't see an issue at all with people hooking up. She sees people in her university do that all the time, and it's completely normal. "So am I just someone for him to let out steam with?" she muttered softly. Right... What made you think you'd be anything special? In the end... They're are all just the same.

"What was that?" Clearvo asked, removing his hands from his face.

"It's nothing. I don't think you have anything to be embarrassed about Senri-kun. We're all adults, these things are normal. Plus, being active is a proof of youth! You should be proud," Kamiko said with a bright, reassuring smile.

Meanwhile Bakugou and Kirishima were walking down the street together, and Kirishima has been fidgeting for the longest time. Bakugou peeked at his friend, noticing Kirishima opening his mouth and closing it back up, eyes darting back and forth from Bakugou to elsewhere. After a while, Bakugou got tired of waiting, so he turned around and demanded, "Spit it out Shitty hair!"

Kirishima jumped, surprised by his sudden aggressive outburst. "S-S-Sorry I uh...I just-" It's been bothering him for a while now, but he just wasn't sure how to bring this up. "I noticed something on Iki's neck this morning..."

"So?" Bakugou crossed his arms.

"So are you and Iki...dating?" Kirishima asked as he pointed at Bakugou.

Bakugou's brows furrowed. "Hah?! Isn't that obvious?!" he demanded.

"Wait seriously?!" Kirishima exclaimed. "Since when?! Why didn't you tell me?!"

Bakugou raised a brow at his red haired friend. "Why the fuck would I tell you?"

Kirishima's jaws dropped, lookinh extremely offended by Bakugou's words. "What do you mean why?! I'm your best friend!"

"So?"

"You know what I'm not even gonna argue with you on this one," Kirishima placed his hand over his forehead as he shook his head. He always had a feeling that Bakugou had a thing for the manga artist, but Kirishima isn't the type to poke fun at his friends about these sort of topics, so he never brought it up. He didn't expect them to get this far so quickly though. "How long has this been going on? You guys trying to keep it a secret or something?"

"It's been about a month now. We're not intentionally keeping it a secret but it's best to avoid media attention," Bakugou said. "Considering what happened last time, the League could come after her again..."

Kirishima nodded understandingly. A genuine smile spreading across his face, the red haired man slung his arm over his best friend's neck. "But man I'm so happy for you! After all these years I thought your grumpy ass would be forever alone!"

"The fuck is that supposed to mean?!"

"Just means I'm happy for you bro!" Kirishima proceeded to pat Bakugou on the back.

The corners of Bakugou's lips tugged upward just a little, but he quickly tried to hide it. "Idiot..." he muttered as the two of them continued to make their way down the street on their patrol.

Kamiko sighed for the umpteenth time today. She placed her pen down and leaned back on her chair. Why is she so bothered? She should have known. No guy is going to like her for who she truly is. A disgusting fujoshi, that's all people see her as. Why would Bakugou be any different? Sure, he treats her really nicely but in the end he doesn't want to be seen with someone like her either. "And I even forced him to watch so many BL... God I'm so awful," she muttered.

Suddenly, she heard a buzz coming from her phone, and she grabbed it from the edge of her desk, only to raise her brow at the caller ID. "Hitoshi? Why is he calling me right now?" She slid the green button to the side to answer. "Hello?"

Shinsou's voice entered her ear. "Hey Miko, you free? I'm at Bakugou's agency right now. You wanna grab coffee?"

"Wait... You're what?!" Kamiko pushed herself out of her seat and got out of her office. She looked down the stairs to find Shinsou standing in the lobby with one hand holding his phone to his ear. Inazumari was also standing next to him, and the manager handed some sort of card to Shinsou. Shinsou heard the commotion upstairs and looked up. He flashed Kamiko a lazy smile and waved. "Hold on." Kamiko hung up and walked down the stairs. "What are you doing here? Why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were coming?"

Shinsou stretched his hand out and welcomed Kamiko as she threw her arms around him. "It's good to see you too Miko," he chuckled.

"No seriously why are you here? Not that you're not welcomed but like explain yourself please," Kamiko said.

"I'm actually going to be here for three weeks. I have this internship at this local high school," he answered.

"Oh right, you're still trying to get that teacher's license. Wow! So you'd be able to hang out with me?"

"Well, I'll be here for a bit, but after the internship is over I'll be going back to take my exam."

"Sweet!" Kamiko clapped her hands together. At that moment her mind was completely taken off of Bakugou, and she bathed herself in the excitement of seeing her friend. "Wait, then what about your cats?"

"I actually brought them. They're at my rental apartment. I just dropped everything off before coming here actually." Shinsou tapped on his phone and pulled up a picture of his cats in traveling carriers, and then slid the picture to the right to show the picture of the cats in the new apartment. His luggage were on the ground, and it looked like a small room, but it was enough for a single man with three cats.

"Awww! I wanna see them!" Kamiko cooed.

"Maybe you can come by at some point and come pet them. Mikan really misses you," Shinsou said.

"I miss him too! We should go right now!"

"Wait wait, Iki-san remember what Bakugou said? You're technically not supposed to go anywhere unsupervised," Inazumari reminded, waving a hand in Kamiko's face to get her attention.

At the mentioning of Bakugou, Kamiko's expression changed, and Shinsou quickly noticed.

"It'll be fine. Hitoshi is a hero too," Kamiko said. "Just tell him I went to the cafe when he gets back." With that, she started pushing Shinsou out the door.
