A/N: Really short, but I wanted to tease a little bit of IzuOcha ;3


It was dinner when Izuku realized, "It's Uraraka-san's birthday today."

"Oh, is it?" His mother humored, turning from where she was pulling a bowl from the cupboard.

"Which one was Uraraka, again?" Hisashi asked.

"The girl," Tomura quietly replied, eating another mouthful of rice.

Izuku briefly looked at him in surprise. "Yeah, she was a classmate of mine when I was at Yuuei."

"Ah, yes, I remember now." Hisashi chuckled. "She gave you that mug, didn't she?"

A sad frown clouded the teenager's face.

"I'm surprised you remember her, Tomura," Inko observed. "Have you met before?"

"She was at the mall before the… training camp," he said with a shrug. "I thought she was a girlfriend."

"She's not… I mean, she wasn't… I didn't think…" As if on cue, Izuku's face bloomed red and he waved a hand in defense.

Inko and Hisashi began to laugh, and even Tomura smirked as he ate another bite of dinner.

"I'm sure your feelings will reach her," his mother reassured with a smile as she walked over with another bowl of steaming rice. "I'm sure she's thinking of you right this moment."

He shrugged.

"And hey, I have good news - your paperwork went through." She nudged his side as he got into her seat again, placing the bowl in the center of the table. "You're finally registered to begin at that hero academy!"

His eyes lit up, and his whole posture seemed to straighten. "Is that why you made katsudon?"

She winked, and he reached to the side to hug her.

Tomura's brow furrowed at his plate. "No matter what, you're that determined, huh?"

"It's my dream."

Heaving a quiet sigh, the villain poked at his fish. "Well, at least you'll stay busy for a while."
