(Early Authors Note: Greetings, everyone! I'm here and so is chapter 3! You all have really shown much love to the last two chapters, so I hope this one doesn't disappoint!

To 94Blake: Thank you! And yes, I like this type of pairing as well. Enjoy!)

It was time to return to UA, though Izuku wasn't feeling himself.

Having made his promise to Reiko, he used every chance of solitude he got to figure out what to do. Simple reassurances can't really be enough, nor can he just tell her (in a polite way, of course) to toughen up.

Then again, he could just be overthinking this. But no one really needs to tell him that, right?

"Hey, er… Midoriya? You're mumbling about something again…" Kaminari said as he walked alongside him and Kirishima. Izuku just rubbed the back of his head and said "H-huh? Oh n-no, it's nothing important! Just uh, j-just uh, thinking… yeah…" Kaminari shrugged it off and kept walking, but Kirishima wasn't so easy to throw off the trail. "Hey man, are you sure nothings bothering you? I mean, it's pretty obvious to everyone in the class that most of the time you stutter like that is usually when something's going on."

Again Izuku just said it was nothing and proceeded to walk a little faster to class, leaving behind a confused Kirishima. Ochako happened to catch up to him and ask "What's wrong with Deku?" To this, Kirishima just shook his head and said "Don't know. Could be nothing, or he could be overthinking some strategy for if we do hero training again. You don't think he's been acting a little odd since Yanagi's birthday, do you?"

Ochako then stopped and remembered that rather miserable day. She was never one to think bad thoughts, but who did that ghost girl think she was? Did she know Ochako was going to sit there? Did Yanagi also have feelings for Deku?! Those thoughts and worries plagued her since that one day. But still she remained optimistic, and said "No… I think he's just overthinking something as usual."

Kirishima nodded and sped off to class.

Later...

"And that's all for now. Head off for lunch, then get ready for hero training." Aizawa said before curling up in his sleeping bag.

School had been fairly uneventful today, Izuku had to admit. But it would all change with hero training! The new dorms would also make things more interesting, so there's that as well. Izuku grabbed his lunch and sat down at an empty, enclosed table and started eating. As he did though, he thought he felt something around his legs. Wait… it felt like it was on his thighs! Quickly closing his legs, he looked under the table to find none other than Reiko.

"R-r-r-reiko?! What are you doing?!" Izuku whispered.

Reiko just smiled before saying "You said I could use you any time, right? Well, I'm not really hungry right now so I thought this would be a perfect chance for a quick snuggle. No one really seems to notice me when I leave, so I was able to sneak my way under the table and have been waiting for you."

Izuku, caught in a trap of his own making, just tried to pretend like nothing happened while Ochako and Ida both sat down on the opposite side of him. "Thank goodness…" Izuku thought.

"So, Deku… what do you think of Reiko? You two seemed to be getting along well at her birthday party." Ochako asked in an innocent voice. Ida was shocked at the question and said "Uraraka!? What kind of an insensible question is that, and coming from you, no less! Midoriya's thoughts of his peers are his own to share, should he so choose. However…" he then put a finger to his glasses to keep them up (and do that thing that most characters with glasses do whenever they say something important) and said "Should his thoughts be that of romance or at the very least, affection, I would advise that be something for a later date. As of now, we are still heroes-in-training and should have no time for other matters at present. Furthermore, villains will use whatever means necessary to win against a hero. Should they hold hostage someone that the hero holds very dear, the hero is at the villain's mercy. So, Midoriya, whatever your feelings for Yanagi… keep them in check. We can't have too many distractions in our line of work, as you should well know."

Izuku nodded and said "R-right… well, we are just friends. Nothing really special, you know. But all the same, she's a good friend. And if, say, she ever had a problem, how could I call myself a hero if I didn't help? So, yeah… keep feelings in check and not have too many-*slight grunt!*"

Ida and Ochako looked at him confusedly before Ida said "Midoriya? Is everything alright?"

"Mhmm!" Izuku quickly (and nearly frantically) responded. "J-j-just, uh… you know… some food got s-stuck in m-my throat."

"Ah. Well, remember to breathe through your nose!" Ida replied before he and Ochako went back to eating.

What had happened was that since Reiko was still under the table, she heard all of what was said. She started to feel a little wary about Ochako and felt that she seemed to be acting more serious and different than usual. She's usually a polite, bubbly girl, but not only was the question she asked personal, but she also used Raiko's first name. Then when Ida started yapping about affections being 'distractions' she started to doubt herself. Did she really need Midoriya this much? But when Midoriya said that he couldn't call himself a hero without helping her, she felt truly happy again and managed to weasel her way between Midoriya's legs.

Yes, she managed to do that.

That was what caused the grunt. She had been very tempted to just lean her head back a little, but Midoriya's hand swiftly went under the table to stop her. She wasn't going to do it, really! He should have more faith in her than that!

Of course, the feeling of his hand on her head was rather nice. When Midoriya pulled his hand away, Reiko grabbed it and held on. Izuku had to act like everything was fine for the next 15 minutes, hoping that no one would be able to see what's going on under the table. At last, everyone finished their meals and went back to class, and Reiko, like a ghost, slipped out from under the table and no one even gave a sideways glance.

She was good.

When classes were finally over and everyone went back to their dorms, Izuku managed to get a few moments alone with Reiko and confront her about her little stunt.

"W-w-w-what were you thinking?! Don't you know what would've happened if we were c-c-caught!? If you were caught?! Y-you can't just go and hold onto me whenever you want. If we're going to make this work, we need to do it when no one is around." Reiko just smirked and said 'Oh, midoriya… I didn't think you'd make it sound so naughty, not to mention be so secretive about this… what a hero."

"N-n-naughty?! N-no! It's not w-what you think! I-i-i-i-i just meant that-" but when Reiko pulled him into a hug, their faces just inches away from each other, he stopped stuttering and just stared into her eyes. Reiko then had an idea. "How about this: we can meet in each other's dorms at night. No one will notice, no one will suspect. We'll have each other all to ourselves."

Izuku was again blushing madly and really just unsure whether or not to go along with this. Reiko needs comfort, that much is true, but she's just been acting so… desperate for it. Izuku really doesn't want it to become some type of bad habit, so he came up with a counter-offer. "We can't do it every night. People might actually start to suspect something. How about we do it four nights a week. Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I'll visit you the first two day, you visit me the last two."

Reiko thought about it for a moment before nodding and saying "Alright. My room is the one with the open window. Don't be late tonight…" and left for her dorm.

"W-wait… tonight?! What day is it? …Oh, it's already Tuesday… I know I'm doing all of this to help Reiko, but why does it feel so… dirty?" Izuku thought as he returned to his own dorm.

When he arrived, the rest of class 1A were hanging about the main room watching a movie. No one seemed to notice him sneaking away to his room to further think about what he needs to do. Maybe a slight nap will calm his nerves for later tonight…

"Hey, where's Midoriya? He should really see this! Sam is such a trooper with helping out Frodo!" Kaminari said, invested in the movie.

"Dunno. I think I saw him head to his room. He looked pretty tired. Must be turning in for a nap." Mina replied, tense since Gollum appeared and attacked the two Hobbits.

Since no one thought anything odd about that (and no one wanted to miss any bit of the movie), they left Midoriya alone and finished the movie. When it was at last over, they all shed tears at Frodo and Bilbo's leaving of Middle Earth (even Bakugo looked sad) and soon went to bed.

Sometime later...

Suddenly, some time into the night, Izuku woke up with a start and realized he must be late! He grabbed a couple pillows, a blanket, and some sleeping clothes (a big, loose, shirt and some smooth shorts) and carefully opened his window and jumped down to the ground. "Class 1B dorm… class 1B dorm… where is it? Where is… there you are!" He found the dorm and looked around for Reiko's room. She said it was the only one with an open window. There it was! After jumping in (carefully and quietly) he looked around to find all manner of spooky stuff, yet no Reiko.

Suddenly, he thought he spotted movement to his left, so he turned that way to see. Only for someone to hold him from behind. "I thought you wouldn't come. I waited for a while, you know." Reiko said. Izuku sighed and was glad no villain had come. Then, he was dragged over to Reiko's bed and sat down on it. Reiko used her quirk to pull back the sheets, then she laid down and looked to him and asked "Coming?"

Izuku hesitated for a few moments before slowly lying down next to Reiko. The pillows he brought were put behind them and his extra blanket put over them. The two layed in bed in silence for a few minutes before Reiko, after giving more than a few glances towards Izuku, suddenly rolled over and pulled him into yet another hug.

"HMMFF!?" Izuku said before being pulled into something soft.

Wait…

Something soft…

And Reiko isn't holding a pillow…

Does that mean…?!

"D-don't squirm too much, Midoriya. Just… l-let me hold onto you~"

Sure enough, Reiko had pulled Izuku into a hug with his face right in her… well, chest. Not wanting to move around too much and cause Reiko any discomfort (at least, that's what he thought), he still moved just a bit so he could be able to breathe. "You know, Midoriya… you never had to help me out like you've been doing. You didn't even have to come tonight. But, here you are. Why risk all sorts of trouble just for me?"

Reiko loosened her hold (just enough) for Izuku to reply "Because I made a promise on a soul day, remember? I said I'll always be there for you, and I meant it. So, hold me as much as you'd like. Just…" and here he gave a quick glance towards her breasts. Were they always that big…?

"T-try not suffocate me, a-alright?"

Reiko just smiled and pulled him in again. Izuku was starting to feel a little comfortable with Reiko's touchiness, and would bear it for her sake. As for Reiko, if she was being honest, she wasn't feeling good only from feeling his warmth right now. And though she may be a little shy, she can still tease just as good as any.

She lowered her head and slightly blew into Izuku's ear, causing him to jump a little.

The sudden movement gave Reiko a strange thrill through her body, and she was glad that it was Izuku who gave her that. "Goodnight, Midoriya." she said before falling asleep. "G-g-goodnight, Yanagi." Izuku replied before he himself started to drift asleep.

In the morning...

"Yo, Yanagi! Are you up yet? You're gonna be late for school at this rate!" Setsuna yelled as she went to Reiko's door to open it, yet found it locked. "Huh? That's strange… Reiko never bothered with locking her door before… did something happen?! Reiko?! Are you alright?!"

She managed to force open the door (luckily she was in possession of a spare key to Reiko's room, since Reiko kept losing hers) and went in.

To see a bleary-eyed Reiko stare at her in shock and fear while green-headed Izuku Midoriya of class 1A still layed there in bed, sound asleep. "S-setsuna! It-it's not w-what you think! We didn't do anything, honest! Please don't tell anyone, I'll do anything! Just… just don't do anything to Midoriya! P-please…"

Setsuna has gotten to know her class very well since they all met at the beginning of their time at UA, yet never once did she think Reiko would act out like this. Not only that, but she also cares so much for that little broccoli boy. Suddenly, Setsuna had an idea. "Are you sure nothing happened?" she asked.

"Nothing! Not at all!"

Setsuna nodded and said "Alright. I trust you. I won't say a word, you'd probably kill me if I did anyways. Besides, I can see you really love your boyfriend. Byeeee!"

As Reiko got up to get herself ready for school, she went into the shower just as Izuku started to wake up as well. After yawning, rubbing his eyes, and nearly falling asleep again, he said "Hmm… where… am I…? H-huh?! Oh, right, I was here! I-i-i hope no one came in. How long was I even asleep? Oh, man, I just hope nothing else hap-" but sure enough, something else happened.

Since Reiko saw how much of a deep sleeper Izuku was, she didn't think she'd have to be careful with getting ready. So once she finished her shower, she came out with no towel. But once she stepped out back into her main room, she saw a wide-awake Midoriya, who could only stare at her in shock.

"AAAHHHH!"

Reiko let out a loud scream and looked for things to throw at Izuku. As for him, Izuku just said "S-s-s-sorry!" and used his almighty DETROIT DASH! And got outta there.

What a way to start school.
