Chapter Five: The Move-In
~A/N~ So here's chapter five. Time to move into U.A. University's dorms. Enjoy.
Chapter Start!
Izumi, for the first time in a while, was happy she had so little. It took her less than three hours to box up everything she owned. Now all she had to do was find a way to move the boxes to her dorm. She didn't own a car. Hell, she didn't even know anyone who did.
"Heroes for Hire it is," Izumi said out loud before grabbing her phone. After a quick search and hire, she was set. Now the waiting game.
~A Few Hours Later~
"Come on, Wratharion, you can do it. Fly!" Izumi called out from a crossed her room. Her midnight scaled iguana stared at her for a few moments before a small pair of wings grew from it's back. A few test beats later, and the small lizard was flying.
"Yes! You did it!" Izumi shouted, watching her little buddy fly over to her. "Someone's getting an extra special supper tonight," She added as Wratharion landed in her open arms.
A knock at the door signaled her movers were finally here. "Heroes for Hire!" a strong voice spoke.
"It's unlocked come in," Izumi replied. The door opened, and in walked two guys, both very muscular. The first was a red-haired and red-eyed man with sharp teeth. The second was a silver-haired man with dark eyes and equally sharp teeth. Izumi smiled, doing her best not to stare.
"Greetings. I'm Eijiro Kirishima," The red-head said while doing a classic tough-guy pose.
"And I'm Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu," The Silverette added while doing his pose. Now that was a name she'd never forget.
"Thanks for coming to Heroes for Hire for all your needs," Eijiro said.
"We've come to help in your time of need," Tetsutetsu added.
"Ask, and we shall heed!" they said together.
"You guys are adorable," Izumi laughed.
"Oh, come on," Eijiro whined. "We were going for manly," he added.
"Oh no, it was manly. I liked whole shtick, especially the poses," Izumi said while biting her lip.
"Thanks. So down to business. You needed a couple of hands and a truck to move?" Tetsutetsu asked.
"Yeah, I got into U.A. University, and I don't own a car," Izumi explained.
"No, fooling? We both got in too," Eijrio said, a huge smile on his face.
"Wow, you guys must have awesome quirks," Izumi said.
"Nothing special, we're a couple of tanks," Tetsutetsu said as steel overtook his body while Eijrio's body seemed to harden and become jagged.
"Wow, those are crazy similar. I love them," Izumi said, her eyes sparkling. She hadn't gotten to analyze a quirk in a while.
"Oh, eh, thanks," Eijiro said, trying to hide his blush.
"Right! Movin' time!" Tetsutetsu shouted in his attempt to cool off.
~Fifteen Minutes Later~
"You didn't have a lot of stuff," Eijrio said as he placed the last box into his truck.
"Yeah. I needed more help with getting from point A to point B than I did the actual move," Izumi said.
"Fair enough. Hop in and let's go to U.A. University," Tetsutetsu said.
"To U.A. University!" Eijiro shouted. Izumi couldn't help but smile at their energy. Once they were all in the truck, it was time to go.
~At U.A.~
It took about an hour to get to U.A. University, but to Izumi, it was an hour well spent. She had gotten to talk up both Tetsutetsu and Eijrio about their quirks and how the exam went for them. She couldn't help but laugh when she learned they had scored the same on both the written and practical portions of the exam. Their similarities just kept stacking.
"What about you? You've asked dozens of questions about our quirks, but you haven't said yours," Tetsutetsu said.
"Oh, mines Dragon," Izumi replied.
"No way!" Eijrio shouted. "Are you like the Ruby Queen Hero: Alexstrasza?"
"Or maybe her sister the Emerald Dragon Hero: Ysera?" Tetsutetsu asked.
"Wait, she's here in Japan. I bet she's like the Eternal Hero: Nozdormu or his daughter Ryukyu," Eijiro retorted.
"No, none of them," Izumi replied, suddenly becoming bashful.
"Oh, I got it. You're like Maylgos the Mad, right?" Tetsutetsu asked.
"Something like that," Izumi replied.
"New topic!" Eijiro shouted, seeing Izumi becoming more and more skittish. "What kind of hero do you wanna be?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" Izumi asked.
"I want to be something closer to a local hero. I don't want to get too big. That way, there is less of a chance some big bad villain will come after my future family," Eijiro explained.
"I'm actually planning on going underground. Back alleys and shady streets will become safe thanks to my metal," Tetsutetsu said with a flex.
"Eyes on the road, man," Eijrio quickly shot.
"Oh, sorry," Tetsutetsu laughed.
"I want to be like All Might," Izumi said while looking down. "I want people to see my shadow fly over and know everything is going to be all right," She tentatively looked up to see Eijrio and Tetsutersu were actually crying.
"That's so manly!" Eijrio shouted while wiping away tears. Izumi couldn't stop a laugh from escaping her lips. She hadn't expected to see the two 'manly' guys start crying.
"That's an awesome dream. I hope you make it," Tetsutesu said. "Oh man, we're here!" he added, seeing U.A. coming into sight.
"Oh! What class did you guys get into?" Izumi asked.
"I'm in 1-B," Tetsutetsu replied.
"1-A," Eijiro replied.
"I'm 1-A, too," Izumi said.
"Cool, at least I know one person in my class," Eijiro laughed.
"Hey, we can still hang out at lunch," Tetsutetsu shot back.
"Of course we will," Eijiro replied.
~Hour later~
Izumi was now fully moved into her dorm. "So, what do I owe you?" Izumi asked.
"Heroes for Hire is a non-profit organization that exists solely to help. As such, we require no pay. But if you are dead set on it. Gas money is all we would ask for," Tetsutetsu replied, almost like he was reading from a pamphlet.
"If you guys are sure," Izumi said.
"Heroes for Hire is more for just helping people than making money," Eijiro said a smile on his face.
"Gas money it is then. You drove quite a way for me," Izumi said, offering Eijiro some money.
"Thanks. I look forward to seeing you in class," Eijiro said as he turned to leave.
"Tetsutetsu-Kun," Izumi whispered just loud enough for him to hear. "Call me," she said, tossing him a slip of paper.
"Oh... uh... ok," Tetsutetsu replied with a heavy blush on his face. Izumi winked as the metal man walked out of the room, doing his best to bring his blush down.
"Now to unpack," Izumi said, looking at her boxes.
~In the Hallway~
"She took a real shine to you, man," Eijiro said, a smile on his face.
"What makes you say that?" Tetsutetsu asked.
"Well, she did give you her number and ask for you to call her," Eijrio's grin widened.
"You heard that, eh?" Tetsutetsu's face flushed red.
"She was louder than she thought," Eijrio replied, now laughing.
"Shut up," Tetsutetsu replied with no real bite to his words.
"So, you going to call her?" Eijiro asked.
"I don't know, man. I'm not really ready or looking for a relationship," Tetsutetsu replied, looking at the paper Izumi had tossed him.
"Then text her. Maybe she just wants some steel," Eijiro laughed louder unable to keep it in. The two came to a stop, finally reaching the elevators.
"Wow, dude," Tetsutetsu shook his head, trying to keep himself from laughing.
"Either way. Let's get out of here. I gotta get home and finish packing myself," Eijiro said.
"Wonder why she moved in so quickly. We have a whole month to move in," Tetsutetsu said as the two got into the elevator.
"Maybe it lined up with her lease?" Eijiro said.
"I guess," Tetsutetsu added.
"You could always call her and ask," Eijiro said while elbowing Tetsutetsu.
"You're not going to drop that anytime soon, are you?" Tetsutetsu asked.
"Nope," Eijiro laughed loudly.
~A few hours later~
Izumi had finished unpacking and had put up her few possessions.
Poster of All-Might in a speedo. Check. Izumi's face flushed, just looking at the young form of All Might. She missed those eyes.
Rare mint condition statue of The Lightbringer Hero: Uther. Check. The first hero that made her think she could become one as well.
Wratharion's favorite pillow and bed. Check.
Izumi fell onto her bed with a long, drawn-out sigh. She was now bored. Part of her hopped, either Tetsutetsu or Hitoshi would text or call her soon. She just really needed something to do.
A buzz from her phone answered her plea. Sure enough, it was a text from Tetsutetsu. At least that's what it seemed like with the line 'Hey it's Tetsutetsu,'
'Hey, Texting to give you my number and ask a question. What are you looking for? I'm not really looking for a relationship at the moment,' Izumi smiled. It was nice having someone be straight forward.
'Honestly?' She replied.
'Sure?' Tetsutetsu replied quickly.
'You not looking for anything serious fits with what I'm looking for,' Izumi replied.
'And what are you looking for?' Tetsutetsu asked.
'Someone to fool around with. No strings attached,' Izumi replied.
'Oh... Why me then?' Tetsutetsu asked.
'Kirishima-san seemed to be the type against one night stands and flings,' Izumi replied. 'Not that it's a bad thing. Just not what I'm looking for right now,' Izumi added quickly.
'Well, I won't lie and say I'm not attracted to you,' Tetsutetsu replied.
'Let's make it easy. If you wanna fool around a bit. You know where I am, and I'll leave the door unlocked. If you show up great, If you decide you'd rather not no harm,' Izumi sent back.
'That works... I need to think about it just a bit more,' Tetsutetsu replied.
'Take your time,' Izumi responds. Now what? Oh, right, she promised Wrathion a special supper.
~End Notes~ I hope you guys like the chapter. It's a little shorter since the next chapter will be the partially meeting roommate and the first day of heroics. That said, Class 1-A and 1-B will be Slightly modified to mix up my story a tad more. Let me know what you guys all thought.
