All eyes were on Midoriya and Uraraka come Monday morning. The two seemed to have a radiant glow about them, indicating a rather successful weekend. Suspicions were inevitable considering a new couple was the only two remaining in the 1-A dorm with minimal supervision. Even the most candid classmates swallowed their interrogation until a more appropriate time arose.

The question on everybody's mind, including Uraraka and Midoriya's, was what Aizawa-Sensei would have to say about the entire thing. He did deliver them a swift and grueling punishment; and referred to their interactions as frivolous novelties extraneous to the path of a hero. He was always a workaholic, repeatedly rejecting the advances of fellow hero, Ms. Joke. Whether she was asking him ironically did not diminish his level of disinterest in a romantic relationship. Eraser Head was definitely not a believer in love; making for a distressful situation for the new couple.

Aizawa slinked into the class, wrapped in his sleeping bag; a tradition on Monday mornings. During his weekends, he still spent ample time doing hero work. Unfortunately, since his hero hours fell under the darkness of night, tired was his default setting.

He freed himself from the safety of his cocoon and rubbed his temples at the boisterous noise of teenagers.

"It's Monday morning. Please refrain from creating excessive noise until I'm awake at the very least."

His sleep deprived eyes scanned the entire class; stopping at Uraraka. His gaze made her feel uncomfortable and she couldn't hide her guilt even if she tried. His eyes began to wander until they locked onto Midoriya's own pools of emerald. In typical Midoriya fashion, he sheepishly cracked a smile and light gleaned off the droplets of cold sweat that formed on his face. Aizawa shot them both a look that said, "meet me after class".

Time stands still for no man, regardless of circumstance. As the perpetual motion of time pushed the day forward, anxiety swelled in the pit of their stomachs. Their punishment was back on track and an unspoken meeting between them and their sensei would not only put them behind schedule but it could also possibly ruin everything they worked so hard to achieve.

3:05 PM

"That concludes today's classes. Be sure to finish your homework on pages 68, 77, and 89. I will see you all tomorrow."

Midoriya breathed a sigh of relief. "Perhaps he forgot about it," he was hopeful but knowing Aizawa, placing bets on his attentiveness was a losing ordeal.

"Midoriya, Uraraka; I would like to speak with you a moment before you resume your duties."

The two gulped in sync, fearing the wrath of the ever-frightening Aizawa-Sensei. As the class filed out, Midoriya looked frantically, hoping even one classmate would stay behind as witness to what he thought was unavoidable doom.

"It has come to my attention…" he began in an unenthusiastic tone, "…that you two have begun a romantic relationship."

"Y-yeah," Uraraka squeaked, shocking Midoriya by her relatively quick and straightforward response.

"I see."

The silence had a time distorting effect that nipped at every one of Midoriya's nerves. The last thing he needed was to be kicked out of UA and he didn't want to drag her down with him as well.

"Congratulations to you both."

"What?!" The two of them shrieked in unison. Their shrill voices pierced the ears of the constantly irritated Aizawa, forcing a scowl of ferocious intensity to overtake his nonchalant expression.

"Did you think that I would oppose the idea?"

"Well, ever since you punished us it seemed like you were trying to keep us apart if I'm being completely honest," Midoriya stated firmly.

"Oh, is that so? I myself believe romance to be fatuous but that does not mean I do not have the capacity to understand you two; nor does that put me in a position to intervene. I understand that the two of you are young adults and romantic relationships happen frequently at all schools, including this one, I cannot bother myself to muster the energy to worry about your interactions."

He took a long deep breath as his two students gawked at him gleefully.

"That said…" he paused and the suspense quickly warped the expressions of the two before him. "I punished you both because of your abuse of curfew hours as well as intentions of sexual activity; which is prohibited amongst students living on campus. If I so much as catch wind of a rumor suggesting physical relations between the two of you, a week of campus maintenance will seem like a walk in the park; I can assure you of that."

The look on Aizawa's face was so unsettling that Midoriya felt the color drain from his cheeks. He knew that his sensei was serious and he would have to be extremely cautious going forward if he wanted to remain a student here at UA. If there was any silver lining, it was that he and Uraraka could now be together without the hassle of concealing their affection. He was certain that she felt the same way; they always seemed to be on the same page lately.

"You two still have a list to complete today. I suggest you begin, lest you fall behind," Aizawa said, breaking the silence that lasted an indeterminant amount of time.

The two frantically set off in opposite directions, without exchanging words; not that they needed to after that. Their hearts were uplifted at the notion they were free to date, free to show affection, and free to attend UA as a couple. It was bothersome that it came with its limitations but they could always find a way around that.

Near the end of their lists, Uraraka and Midoriya noticed that Aizawa had crossed out some of the activities he had written down. They assumed that he was cutting them some slack given the new revelation of their amorous relationship. This allowed them to clue up a few hours early so they could spend some time together this evening.

7:13 PM

"Even Aizawa-Sensei can be a real softie it seems," Uraraka giggled as they strolled through campus, arms linked.

"Yeah, for sure! Just don't tell Ms. Joke though. She'd be all over him like soy on rice!" The both chuckled.

"It's pretty awesome that everyone seems okay with us doing this. I was so scared."

"What were you scared of Uraraka-San?"

"Well, I was scared of you, of us, of our friends, and super afraid of being kicked out of UA. I still owe it to my ma and pa to finish this hero course so they can take it easy!"

A warmhearted smile graced Midoriya's face. His smile was so goofy, so infectious, that she couldn't help but blush and smile in return.

"How did you make out with your list today?" Midoriya felt bad about breaking the chain of conversation but he was wondering if her list had met the same fate as his own.

"It was pretty quick. So many tasks were scratched out on the bottom of my list which was weird."

"Really? Mine too. He probably wanted to give us the opportunity to do something like this. Before we would literally be tied up till minutes before curfew."

"Oh! I also found Midnight-Sensei's cat!"

"Really?! Where was she?"

"He," Uraraka corrected her boyfriend. "He was in Kouda's room. Kouda saw him lurking around one day and assumed he was a stray. Kouda didn't say anything, well because, he's Kouda. After he got to talking though, I found out that Midnight-Sensei's cat and his rabbit got along famously well."

"All's well that ends well, huh?"

"Yep!"

Midoriya motioned for the two of them to set on a bench overlooking a pond. She leaned onto his muscular shoulder and sighed contentedly as they watched the sun liquefy into the horizon.

Midoriya bolted upright suddenly, startling Uraraka.

"What's wrong Deku-Kun?"

"Oh crap, I forgot! I owed Kacchan a fight tonight for helping me with dinner back then! He's going to be so pissed!"

Uraraka burst into hysterics. She stood up next to him, leaned in, and pulled him in for a passionate kiss.

"Never change Deku-Kun."

"I won't."

There you have it, folks! It has been finished.

It's been quite a rollercoaster doing this first fic; it was definitely an incredible experience.

I will probably touch on Boku No Hero Academia in the future (potential continuations or spin-offs of this fanfic) but as of right now, I don't plan on writing anything BnHA related in the near future.

Thank you all for taking the time to read and review, I appreciate your contributions, and if you have any suggestions on future stories; I'm all ears, so feel free to PM me.
