Summary:
With exams finally over, and the training camp starting in a few weeks. Izuku and his friends take some time to rest and a secret is revealed.
Beginning Notes:
Well, this week was a good week for me, I started a new story that I'll be writing in my spare time, and we've got two chapter updates and a new story premier. Hope you all are doing well!
I feel like this is the best chapter I've written for Hado... She's just, such an adorable air head in this.
The filler Chapter… I really enjoyed writing this TBH.
U.A. had let out a few days ago, Izuku had spent much of his time at home. Nedzu having been happy to have the boy's company over the past few days of course. The two mainly just watching hero news as Nedzu graded and looked over applications for next year.
The very first applications had come in a few days prior. And, as part of his take homework from the time off the mouse was looking over the applications slowly but surely. Never one to rush his work, he'd sat down with a nice warm cup of tea and slowly sorted through the applications.
"So, are you ready for the summer camp?" Nedzu asked, not looking up from his papers as Izuku sat on the other side of the couch. The boy thought for a moment, while he was physically ready, he surely wasn't mentally ready.
"Honestly? I don't know if I'll ever be ready… I've always heard horror stories of how bad the pussycats work the students over summer camp." The boy replied, a hand making its way to his head to rub through his hair.
"Hhmm, that is a correct assumption. Though, I will say that it has also always helped the student's development. Do not fret, they will take great care of you. Though I do recommend you rest as much as possible during your breaks." Izuku nodded to the bear, mouse, thing as he let go of his own sigh.
"I-um, I also promised to go to the beach with Hado, Amajiki and Toogata today… If that's alright?" The boy looked at his father, having as of course always had the freedom to do whatever he wanted. But also sought the approval of the main father figure in his life.
"That is fine Midoriya, just be home before 8pm." Izuku nodded to his adoptive father and quickly pulled out his phone alerting the other three of his attendants. The other three would soon text back confirming their own schedules.
Izuku let go a long sigh as he stepped on to the white sandy beach of Dagobah. Three others joined the boy, each with their own smiles accompanying them.
It was a beautiful summer's day in Japan. The sun was out, it was nice, not too hot or too cold. And everyone seemed more than happy to welcome the weather.
"Come on Amajiki!" Yelled the blonde boy as he ran across the sands towards the water. The boy muttering something before walking forward to follow his best friend.
"Midory! Come on let's go, the water's going to be so nice!" Yelled the bluenette as she too soon followed the others into the water. Izuku shook his head, sighing as he walked closer to the water's edge.
Izuku had carried much of the supplies of the group, knowing full well that none of them other than Amajiki could hold back. Though, even the raven harried boy had run off, Izuku smiled. Glad to see his friends relaxing after the stress they'd likely gone through over the last semester.
Nejire splashed in the water as the two tried to defend themselves with their hands. Laughing all along the way. Mirio had done his best to get the blue haired girl back, unleashing an even larger splash of water.
"No fair! There's two of you, Izuzu get over here!" She yelled back towards the water's edge. Izuku gave a thumbs up, setting down the beach towels along with the cooler they'd brought along.
"Alright, I'll be there in a sec!" He yelled back, gaining a small affirmative from the bluenette who soon pouted again. Mad that her friend wouldn't join them right away.
Izuku soon waded the water, swimming over to the other three who'd only amped up the splashing at one another. A shriek could be heard from Hado as she protested against the splashes.
"No fair Amajiki! You ate calamari before this!" She yelled, as one of his tentacles splashed more water in her direction.
"Aww, not so big and tough now Hado." Mirio laughed out as he went to splash more water in Izuku's direction. The greenette was effectively covered head to toe in water, his curls hanging down in front to his face.
"Aww, look what you did to Izuku!" Hado yelled, very upset by the fact that his curls were now so, so droopy. Her hands coming up around her chest, pressing against her 'assets' as she putted at the other two boys. They'd ruined his hair; her favorite thing was ruined.
"It's fine Hado, it'll dry out in no time and I can see fine." The boy said, his face slightly red as the bluenett's chest bounced subtly from the aforementioned pout. 'Do not stare, do not stare!'
The four would continue their splash fight for some time, finally stopping once Mirio had been well covered in water even though he had the use of permeation. They would later simply relax on the beach, enjoying the snacks they'd packed.
Hado resting next to Izuku, once again trying to ask questions about the Sports Festival and all the "Super cool moves" as she described. Tamaki and Mirio had settled down as well, laying on their beach towels as they conversed about what came to mind.
For the most part, they were talking over their experiences at their internship. Which Izuku hadn't really gotten to talk about all that much. Seeing as his friends had all been busy with their own. "Yea, I interned with Mr. Aizawa, though I didn't really get to do anything interesting it was still insightful."
"You did your work study with Mr. Aizawa? Darn, I didn't even know he took interns. You must have impressed him." The blonde voiced, sitting up straight from his beach towel to look over at Izuku.
"I don't know about that, though I think Mr. Maijima, Mr. Aizawa, and my dad want me to transfer into the hero course next year. He's been pushing me to take the exam in August as well. I'm supposed to start one on one training with him in the new semester as well." The boy voiced, mumbling off the last bit as he grew self-conscious about everything.
"Your dad?" Toogata asked, an eyebrow slightly quirked as he looked at the greenette.
"Oh-aah, My adoptive father is um-ho-how do I put this." Izuku stuttered trying to think how best to say it. Unable to think of what his friends could possibly think of him once they knew Nedzu was his adoptive father.
"What is is Izuzu?" Hado asked, leaning over to look at the boy, her own eyes wondering as she looked at him.
"Principal Nedzu is my ahh-my dad, well adoptive father." The boy finally voiced, hands nearly going to cover his face like all the times he'd done so before with Bakugo.
"Oh wow, that's so cool. What's he like at home? Is he super scary or is he like a total fluff ball. I bet he's kinda scary!" The air head of a best friend voiced as she started smiling giddily at the boy.
"That's really cool, I bet he thinks a lot of you Midoriya." Voiced the raven haired boy, giving a small smile to the greenette.
"Yea, that's really cool Izuku, but I bet his standards are really high aren't they?" Mirio asked, knowing how much the man required out of his students.
Izuku let go a weary sigh as he looked at the three, happiness filling him as he realized they hadn't changed a bit knowing that he was Nedzu's adoptive father… They didn't think he'd had it easy getting into U.A. didn't think he was some high and mighty child of Nedzu.
"He's-ah, really nice actually, not scary at all at home. Though he can be when his mind starts working. And yea, he thinks a lot of me, I think he's kinda proud of me though it's hard to tell sometimes. He expects a lot of me as well, and I've worked hard to get where I am." The three nodded, understanding that the boy was always somewhat worried about judgement but glad that he trusted them with the knowledge.
"Also you said you were transferring into the hero course?" Asked the blonde.
"I think so, I'm taking special course with Nedzu and Mr. Aizawa until the new school year. I'll be joining the freshmen in class 1-A. I'm kinda bummed that I won't be moved to 2-A with you guys."
"Yea, but hey at least you're getting into the hero course! It's going to be so fun Izuzu and we can train together and-and hopefully, see each other more. It's going to be a blast!" The bubbly bluenette extenuated her happiness by making small explosion noises with her mouth while throwing her hands in the air.
"Yea, I just hope I can participate in your sports festival next year. I liked fighting you guys." He smiled, looking at both Nejire and Toogata.
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure the freshmen will be just as fun to face as we were. Though I'm gonna miss you. Fighting together was so much fun!" Mirio voiced as he threw his hands in the air, pumped to be able to train with Izuku.
The group soon fell into a comfortable silence as they sat on the beach watching the sun set. A sigh escaped Izuku's mouth as he smiled. His three friends, more than happy to spend their time with him.
Soon the four would pack up, Amajiki and Toogata both rushing off leaving Izuku and Nejire alone on the boardwalk. They seemed in a rush to leave, though Izuku was sure other motives were at play.
"Are you ready to leave Izuku?' The girl asked, her beach towel somewhat draped around her form, she had a large smile planted on her face; glad to have spent much of the day with the three boys.
"Yea, I can walk you home if you'd like someone to go with you?" Izuku asked, looking up to her blue eyes to see the gleam of happiness nestled inside of them.
"No-no I'll be alright, but I just wanted to say that today was really fun! I had a blast with everyone and I ah, I really enjoyed spending the day with you specifically. Maybe we can do it again sometime?"
"Yea, that-that'd be nice… If it's alright with you?" the greenette asked, a pale rose color coming upon his cheeks.
"I asked you dummy, of course I'd like to spend more time with you!" She happily replied, glad that her friend had also enjoyed her company. Though, she hoped they could possibly be more than friends at some point.
Izuku, while shy, and incredibly nervous most of the time, always seemed to have a smile at the worst of times. She admired that about him, and she maybe possibly liked the view she'd been given of his abs… There was a lot to take in, but you couldn't blame her for looking.
The two would soon also split up, Izuku heading back towards U.A. while Nejire headed towards her own home. The four would meet up again for training camp. Though, looking back at everything Izuku would have gladly spent his summer doing nothing more than laying on the beach with his friends. He just hoped they'd be able to do it again sometime soon.
Next time on Symbol of Justice, Izuku nearly dies from some pussycats... Also, who spiked Aizawa's coffee and WTF IS THAT GIANT-
