"So, this is where I'm staying? A whole week by myself?"

All Might nodded, "We'll come visit you every day to check on you. You won't be lonely the whole time. In a few days other students will slowly start to return."

Izuku gave a stiff nod.

Meeting new people was always a challenge for him but he tried his best. It was one of his side effects of his own personality because he was so shy and it was hard for him to look people in the eye. All those kids walking in here and going to a better school than him... how could face them? What if they were mean? What if-

"Are you ok? You're muttering."

Izuku jumped.

"Oh yea. Is there anyone I should be warned about?"

Toshinori scratched his head.

"There's couple students who are rough around the edges but nothing more than that."

"I hate meeting new people. I have a tendency to mess up in front of them."

"You'll be fine my boy!"

I don't know about that.

"Aizawa will always start with a fitness test to see if you have improved any but for you it would be your first time. You've done a lot in the past few weeks so I believe you can pass with flying colors!"

He bit his lip and nodded.

"Since you're here alone, you have free run of the place. UA is pretty safe and if you need anything give us a call!"

"Um, Toshi?"

"Yes?"

"Thanks a lot. You've been like... a great dad and I needed that. Shouta and Hizashi are like my grumpy uncle and my cool uncle. It might sound weird but I love you guys..."

The blonde man smiled and pulled Izuku in for a hug.

"It's not weird at all! Hizashi would be ok with you calling him uncle but call Shouta that when the two of you are alone or not around other students. He has an image to keep up."

The green haired boy laughed.

"On the weekends you can come home if you want. There's two Saturdays a month where you go out and patrol. Usually it's during the day and sometimes you'll get one at night."

"What?"

All Might arched an eyebrow.

"You guys do patrols? How? I don't even have a hero license yet."

"You don't have one?"

He shook his head. All Might shouldn't have been surprised but he kind of was.

"I'll discuss that with them later. Go ahead and settle in. I'll see you around dinner time."

The first day alone was quite... Boring. He did go out and swim for a few hours before running on the track giving One for All another try. The feeling was weird as he used more power to run but it wasn't too bad. All Might had warned him of the back lash if he used one hundred percent at once without training first.

Present Mic and All Might joined him for dinner. He listened to them talk about their days at UA and it was quite exciting to hear everything they did as kids. There were a few embarrassing stories about his Uncle Shouta as well but he was sworn to secrecy for obvious reasons. It almost felt... normal.

Izuku had felt like this was how his life should've been for a long time. Getting out, training and meeting new heroes. At his old school, there was heroes but a lot of his teachers were sidekicks. His time with All Might, Present Mic and Eraserhead were eye opening. The only thing he hadn't done yet was face Mic or Toshi head on.

He hoped too sometime though.

The second day wasn't much different from the first day but he went out to the same field him and Mic had practiced on. Being by himself was a little easier since he didn't have to worry about hurting anyone else but he was a lot more tired now. Maybe it was because he had Toshinori around at the house but here...

He was alone and his mind wouldn't shut off. He had been writing in his journal a lot more lately. Sometimes the images of that night would come back and haunt him but he kept it all to himself. Izuku wanted to be in UA bad enough and he didn't want what the three heroes did for him to be for nothing.

I just need to exhaust myself to sleep later. The training on the beach was actually really helpful.

His mind flickered over to the other students he would be living with. All Might had given them no hints at all to how any of them were. He had no idea if any of them were actually nice. What if they didn't accept him? He felt like he was so far behind everyone else.

He plopped down onto the ground with an annoyed sigh.

"Giving up already I see."

Izuku whipped around to see Aizawa standing there.

"Uncle Shouta."

The man stopped in his tracks.

"What?"

"Are you checking up on me?"

"I am. Toshinori had informed me that you don't have a hero's license."

Izuku nodded quietly.

"Not every school has the same standards so I'm not surprised. How does it feel being here?"

"Am I cheating?"

"Cheating?"

"I feel like I am... I just..."

Izuku sighed.

"Getting your ass beat close to a thousand times in the last few weeks isn't cheating. You got here because you kept trying. You performed a new move and managed to almost catch me on fire. You did it on your own, you just needed someone to go against."

Izuku smiled.

"Thanks Uncle Shouta."

"Don't say that in front of anyone else or you'll be cleaning the dorms for three months alone."

The boy snickered and nodded.

"All Might has work today, so Hizashi and I will see you at dinner time. Train hard."

Izuku nodded and stood up.

"Oh, another thing Midoriya."

He looked up to see a weird look on the man's face.

"Your mental health is important too. Don't forget that."

Izuku said nothing as he watched Aizawa walked away.

The fourth day, Izuku was finish his sixth lap around the track when he spotted a blue haired boy with glasses. Izuku stared at him for a while trying to figure out where he had seen him before. The taller boy stared at him too with a weird, angry look on his face. He ran at him at full speed making Izuku nearly scream.

"Who are you and why are you here?!" he demanded to know.

"He's a transfer student, Iida," Shouta said coming closer, "He's been staying around to adjust."

"Oh! Nice to meet you then! I'm Tenya Iida!" he said excitedly and held out a hand.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Izuku Midoriya."

The taller boy made a face like he was thinking about it.

"Midoriya? That sounds familiar."

Izuku looked at Aizawa quickly.

Should I say anything? I was never allowed to say anything before...

"Leave him be unless you're training with him. He's busy."

Tenya nodded.

"I'll run with you! Would you like to set a best time, try to beat it and race each other?"

"That sounds fun!"

Izuku shot a look that screamed 'thank you' so he didn't have to go around explaining who he was to the boy he just met. Shouta gave him a nod and was on his way.

That night, All Might joined him for dinner and so did Tenya. He was quite informative about how classes have been the last two years. It didn't seem so bad considering the beating he got from Aizawa, burnt lips and a sore throat from training with Mic. Even beach training and cleaning all of that trash was a big pain in the ass but he definitely bulked up from it.

Tenya was in bed by ten leaving Izuku by himself on the couch since All Might went home. He sank into the seat, closing his eyes. It didn't hit him that his legs hurt until then. He groaned and pulled himself off the couch to the bathroom. He only went into the first stall but went further down to see if he could sit in a bathtub. Just his luck, there was four stalls with bathtubs.

Finally!

He drew the coldest water he could and forced himself to sit in it.

That feels so much better.

It didn't take long and he fell asleep with his head laying back against the tiled wall.

Izuku jumped when he felt something touch his shoulder. He looked up to see Hizashi standing there with a concerned look on his face. He looked around, noticing that he was still in the bathroom. He gave him a sheepish smile wanting to hide away.

"It's like five in the morning. Did you sleep in here last night"

"Y-yea... I guess I did."

"Go ahead and take today off. You can get sick this way-

"No!"

"Huh?"

"I have too... I gotta stay busy. I promise I won't sleep in the tub anymore. I need to stay busy. It helps me keep a clear head."

"Well, alright but have fun today instead of pushing yourself. Ok?"

Izuku nodded quickly.

"I'm making breakfast so get up and get warm ok?"

"Alright, thanks Uncle Hizashi."

Izuku sighed.

How embarrassing.
