The next morning was a rough one, my mixed sleep pattern meant that not only was I three quarters asleep, but that I was miserable as well. I met Yaoyorozu and Izuku on the way to the school, and both of them immediately knew something was wrong, though most other people were staying far away from me because of my negative posture and scowling face.

Once we arrived at school, I went straight from the lobby to the classroom, leaving Izuku and Yaoyorozu downstairs. Most of the people had already arrived and were chatting away, though some turned once they saw I had walked through the door. Yaoyorozu saw it was pointless to try and get me to open up and so went to talk to Kyouka, who was with the other girls. Izuku went over to Iida and Uraraka, who were waving him over. I just sat down in my seat and waited for Mr Aizawa to turn up, as we still had fifteen minutes before the lesson began. While I waited, someone tapped on my shoulder, though when I turned around all I saw was a floating uniform. This must have been Hagakure, the invisible girl I'd seen during the tests yesterday. "Hey, is something the matter? You seem a little down" she asked, her voice sounding incredibly sweet and almost enough to lift me out of my slump. "I'm fine" I told her, though even I could tell it was a lie. "Are you sure? You don't look too good" she replied while she placed the back of her hand on my forehead to check my temperature. I sighed, this girl wasn't going to leave me alone until I told her the truth, so I went to explain that it was personal when the door opened and in walked our homeroom teacher.

The day came and went without much fanfare, though most people were looking forward to tomorrow, due to our first lesson with All Might being tomorrow. I went to just go home and wallow in my own pity, but someone tapped my shoulder and stopped me as I put my notebook into my backpack. I turned to face the owner of the hand to find the pink skinned, and haired, girl with yellow horns and a cute smile adorning her face. She was standing in front of most of the other girls in our class, and I knew they were scheming something. "What's up?" I asked, her smile cheering me to the point of normality.

"Me and the other girls were going to karaoke, and were wondering if you'd like to come along?" Ashido replied. I began to think about it. I had had enough of feeling miserable, and going to spend a night singing with a bunch of cute girls didn't seem like a bad way of making myself feel better. I looked Ashido in the eyes and simply said "Yeah sure, just give me a sec let my mom know I'll be home late".

I pulled my phone out of my bag and dialled my mom through the saved numbers. Mom picked up a few seconds later and I informed her I was going out with some friends. "Hey mom, I'm just letting you know I'm going to be home late" I told her, "oh, is it with that cute Yaoyorozu girl?". "Yeah, and some of the other girls from my class" I replied, there was silence for a second before she replied.

"Do you need me to send some money for condo...".

I hung up the phone before she could finish her comment.

The journey to the karaoke took a while, but during that trip I got to know the girls in my class.

Jirou and I talked about our favourite bands, my half American heritage showing when I told her I liked some rock bands from in the States my dad had introduced me to. She replied with Porno Graffiti, which we chuckled at the name of, and Asain Kung-Fu Generation.

Hagakure said she was planning on going to an ice rink at the end of the week and was going to invite everyone, but no one could come. I told her I would go with her

Ashido told me about her dancing history and how she was going to bust some movies when she wasn't singing. Her bubbly nature was almost infectious.

Momo gave me a book to read and asked me to bring it back within the week. The title read 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief' and the synopsis was about some demigod kid with a great destiny on his shoulders who has to find a stolen lightning bolt that belonged to Zeus.

The night went really well. I sang a duet with each of the girls, even Yaoyorozu who didn't want to sing anything, and even a couple of solos. The notable songs I sang were Rewrite, The Day, Peace Sign and Odd Future, which I felt strange connections with.

I took a break at one point to go and get drinks for everyone. Most of us had something fizzy, while Yaoyorozu had a simple water. I was bringing them back when I spotted Ashido sitting outside the room we'd been singing outside. "Hey, what's up?" I asked the pink girl, who turned to face me, "oh, nothing, just wanted to talk".

I placed the drinks down on the seat away from Ashido and sat down next to her "what's up?". "You seemed really upset earlier, I just wanted to make sure you were okay" Ashido asked, which prompted an unconscious sigh to leave my lips. I couldn't tell her that I had caused the world's Symbol of Peace to get hurt or about Alien-X, though there were ways around that. "I did something stupid as a kid, it got the only other father figure I have left hurt, and... I've been blaming myself for years" I explained, my head hung in shame. There was a moment of silence where I feared Ashido would start asking questions, but the only thing I felt were a pair of arms wrapping around my shoulders. "Everyone makes mistakes as a kid. Everyone gets embarrassed by them, the best way to get around them is to become better than you were" Ashido explained, her arms wrapping around me tighter. The hug made me feel incredible, her warmth brought the first smile to my face in a while.

The night went by way too quickly, and I didn't even realise I had had such a great time. We were heading home and each agreed to meet up again next week.

I was sitting on the train heading to my station, and I couldn't help but smile and hum the songs I'd been singing all night. I stopped half way through and one thought went through my head.

'Was this... a date?'

A/N: Kind of a short one but I wanted to get something out to go alongside chapter 9. I am so sorry for the six month wait, I was waiting for my interest in the show to come back and since I did a marathon of all three seasons leading up to season 4, I figured I'd try and get another couple of chapters out before the premiere.

Now, something I wanted to address before leaving that I can't get out of my head. As many of you may have noticed, I've been using the dub to write this, and due to the recent goings-on with Funimation and Vic Mignogna, I can't, in good conscious continue to not show my support.

So, to put it simply...

#IStandWithVic

This will not impact my writing in anyway, so if any of you now hate me, I'll still be keeping my same standard of quality as always. If things change and there is any evidence against Vic that damns him, I will address this and offer my apologies.
