"You know we have the day off for the entrance exams, right?" Moe asked, trying to look around All Might's massive form as they walked through the hallway of U.A. Why was he even here? Was he going to bribe Izuku's way in? 'Cuz she was so down for that! "If we're going to be hacking the school, think we can change my grades too? I'm not doing the best in english."
"We're not here for that." All Might looked at her, his face dark and devoid of his usual smile. It was almost scary. He sighed and beckoned her into the elevator. After making sure that Izuku had gotten home - hopefully with enough time to shower - All Might had brought her directly to U.A. It was kinda messed up that All Might's advice for using the quirk was just clenching his butt cheeks.
Didn't even check to see if Izuku actually had it. This was starting to feel like Izuku was some kind of underdog protagonist. Hopefully, he could beat one or two of those robots today; she had no doubt he'd be able to pass the written exam, he'd always been a smart cookie. Though now he was a smart buff cookie.
Moe scratched the back of her head, her flaming hair tickling her hand ever so slightly. Good thing she didn't need a comb for her hair, the plastic ones melted. "So then why are we here? Am I in trouble?"
"Legally? No." All Might huffed; he was acting like a seven foot tall baby! It wasn't her fault he kept shouting secrets in public places. Seriously, he needed to learn to turn the volume down. All Might and her little brother would probably get along… at least until Katsuki swore. "Personally? Yes. Eavesdropping is rude."
"I said I was sorry, but it's not like I'm going to be telling anyone." The elevator stopped and they walked out, All Might making sure she was following him with a look over his shoulder. "It's Deku's secret too, now."
All Might's shoulders slumped for just a moment. "I see you have a point. But what exactly is your relationship with young Midoriya?"
Good question, one she didn't have the answer to. At least not one that she was comfortable with saying out loud. Saying he was like her little brother just left a bad taste in her mouth, and was probably an insult to both Izuku and her actual little brother. But at the same time saying he was just a friend was just not right either. But, ehh, it wasn't like All Might wanted to listen to her teenage drama bullshit.
"He's just my friend, I've been jogging with him pretty much every morning since he started working out." Hopefully, All Might would catch that she was being vague about something because they were both in public. Even if there weren't any students around. "But didn't you hear? He's going to be my sidekick once I have my own agency."
"Haha!" All Might gave a great laugh and stopped in front of the principles office. "I admire your moxie, young Bakugo. But still, we're going to need to have a talk in here."
He opened the door and she walked in. She'd only gotten to go into Nezu's office a few times, most of the time to congratulate her, and one time because she accidentally set off the sprinkler system. The office was normal, which was strange because the person currently sitting at the desk in a booster seat was a rat-bear-dog-thing.
"Yo, Nezu," She greeted him casually.
"Ahh, Miss Bakugo! What a pleasant surprise, what brings you to my office? With All Might no less?" Nezu hopped up from whatever he was doing and greeted her with a paw.
"She knows." All Might groaned and moved over to take a seat.
"That you're a teacher?" Nezu looked between the two of them.
Well now she did! "You're going to be a teacher here?"
"Ahh right," All Might stretched and relaxed into his seat. He reverted to that skinny form she'd seen him in a few times. "I'll be teaching next year."
"Then she knows that you're injured?" Nezu asked shrugging. "Could you not be so vague?"
"I know that he gave his quirk to Deku this morning, and I've known that he can give his quirk to people since like April?" Moe rolled her eyes and made for the seat opposite of All Might.
"Oh! I see." Nezu clapped his paws sounding delighted by the prospect. He jumped and sat and the end of his desk, his little shoes tapping the wood slightly. "Who's Deku? And Moe, would you mind serving the tea?"
She was just about to sit down! But still, one of the rules of the school is that if Nezu offers tea, it was best to just accept it. "Sure thing."
"Deku is what she calls Izuku, the boy I told you about." All Might leaned forward in his seat, fingers interlocking in front of his face and letting out a sigh.
"Hmm," Nezu nodded. "I see, so why bring her here?"
"I don't know what to do with her." All Might said flexing his fingers. "It would-"
"Nothing." Nezu clapped his hands. "You should do nothing."
"Pardon?" All Might asked.
Moe returned with three cups of tea placing one in front of All Might and one just barely small enough for Nezu to hold next to the principal before she took the empty seat. "What do you mean do with me? You're not going to like make me disappear, are you?"
If there was anyone that could do it it would be All Might. And what was that about an injury earlier? Still the fact that All Might's quirk was transferable felt like it was just the tip of the iceberg.
"Not me, no." All Might took the tea. "Thank you. It's just that no one else was supposed to know about One for All and the people that know about it tend to be put in danger, so even if I can trust you, it's a matter of-"
She wanted to yell at All Might for several reasons. One giving Deku a quirk that could be dangerous just knowing about it, and two for assuming that she was weak. But she wasn't her brother and knew at least three table manners. The first being how to sip tea angrily.
"Yagi, if I may." Nezu took a loud sip of his tea. "Ooh, excellent tea Moe, I might have to request you make some again."
It was just hot leaf water.
"You're being rather selfish with this whole ordeal." Nezu said softly.
All Might looked taken aback. "I am?"
Nezu nodded. "Indeed. Firstly as young Midoriya learns to control his quirk, it would be beneficial for him to include people within his own circle, just as you have done."
All Might started to blush. They'd probably yell at her if she tried to take a picture, even if it was just to show Izuku. "I see what you mean. I suppose I was rather selfish in denying Izuku a support group beyond myself."
It wasn't like Izuku had a lot of friends right now. But hopefully that would change now that they were in the same school. Oh, she should introduce him to Nejire. Wait, that might be a bad idea. But ultimately inevitable. Mirio would probably love Izuku as well. "And you don't have to worry about me, I'm pretty strong, ya'know."
"Indeed! Moe is one of our strongest students, she's capable in many situations, even if her grades are the best. And she's wonderful at getting people fired up!" Nezu kicked his little legs when he laughed and took another sip of his tea. "Why, if I wasn't so concerned that her receiving One for All would start a wildfire, I would have had a hard time choosing between her and Mirio."
"Hey, I don't catch things on fire so often anymore! And it's why I carry a fire extinguisher on my costume." And a hate gauge just in case.
All Might sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I suppose I should have more faith in the next generation."
"You're darn right you should." Moe felt her fangs brush against her lips as a toothy smile began to form. The crackling of flames alerted her that she was getting fired up, her hair dancing more like a fire now. Damn, why was it whenever someone doubted her, she just got all kinds of fired up? "We've all grown up with you as a hero All Might, and we've all dreamed of the day when one of us would surpass you. So don't go underestimating us."
"Well said Moe!" Nezu slapped his legs and hopped down off of his desk. "Well then, now I'm more excited than ever to nurture the next generation, come, I believe that the practical exam is going to be starting soon. Would you care to join us Moe?"
"Can I press the big button to summon the Zero pointer?"
Nezu hummed and looked at her, a pout forming on his face. "But that's my favorite part. Though, I suppose I could allow it just this once."
XXXX
Why did it feel like he broke his arm? And both legs? And that his face really fucking hurt?
Oh. Right. Because he did.
He literally ran around the entire course freaking out at every giant robot he saw and scored zero points because he didn't know how to use his quirk, which was just fantastic, at least all that jogging he did with Moe made it so that he wasn't tired after all that. But the moment someone screamed because their foot was stuck in some rocks and that giant robot showed up that was worth zero points so naturally he jumped at it and punched it.
At least he knew he could use All Might's quirk. Even if his limbs did explode slightly.
He was going to need to work on that.
Assuming he passed.
Izuku let out a sigh and groaned under the covers. Wait, when did he get in a bed?
"Oh, are you awake Deku?"
Izuku felt his heart kick into overdrive as he became very aware of Moe all at once. He snapped his eyes open and saw her flaming orange eyes, light green fiery hair, and her wicked sharp fangs. She was lying on the bed next to him. "You're a fucking badass, aren't ya?"
Nervousness hit him like a rock and he did the only thing he could think of. Which apparently was to throw himself out of the bed and onto the floor. "Moe! What are you doing here?"
"Oh, I'm just here to make sure you get home." Moe swung her legs over the bed and grabbed his hand pulling him to his feet with a great deal of ease. "And I wanted to be the first one to congratulate you on getting accepted."
"Oh," Right, the entrance exam. "I didn't actually pass though. I don't think I did good on the written exam, and I mean I didn't score a single point during the-"
"Hmm," She grabbed his shoulder and pulled him into a sideways hug. "Maybe not, but you totally did smash that giant zero pointer to bits! It was honestly kind of hot, I'm sure if there were any girls around when you did that they would have instantly developed a crush on you."
"What? You saw that? Wait really? I mean I destroyed my arm and." He looked at his arm and saw that it was whole. "Huh? What happened to my arm."
"Recovery Girl happened you dork, you know she works at U.A." Moe pushed him back and bit then snagged his arm. "And yeah, I also saw your final score. You're so getting in, Deku, now come on, let's celebrate!"
"Huh?"
But how did he pass?
AN: Ara Ara Ara Ara!
Hope you enjoyed this slightly boring chapter.
