Alo! Let us go shall we? Thanks again for your kind reception!
I don't own my hero academia, otherwise I would have more time to write.
Chapter 2.- Tell me, prince Izuku, now when was the last time you let your heart decide? When was the last time you did something for the first time Midoriya?
Kinoko Komori routine was simple. Wake up, take a bath, get ready and have breakfast before going to school. Simple really. Now that routine was taking a bit more time in the get ready zone as she wanted her hair to look particularly shinier. This was also going on with a certain blonde girl with equine features. A girl with pale gray hair though was happy seeing her hair shine. A girl in particular with teal eyes and ginger hair was smiling as her ponytail was perfectly done.
All these girls had something in common. They were all from class B of U. all of them were hoping to see a particular boy who had cheered them up. It was impressive how fast things could change. It hadn't even been a week since they entered school. All of them hoped to make new friends and learn. To become the best at the same time they had fun.
Moreover, while it may sound hard at first, they were surprised at how easily things had gone well. And all because of a boy with green hair and adorable freckles. Izuku Midoriya was the name all the girls said in the morning. With different connotations, but the same wish to see him.
One girl had romance in her eyes, hiding behind her bangs. Another one had wished to know him more, safely protected behind an unreadable expression. Another believed that rushing forward was the best policy and that through physical contact she could convey those feelings easily. The other one shared this point of view of rushing forward. But she also held the belief that one had to measure their movements properly.
Like in a perfect martial arts kata. Every move was important and had to be done precisely while facing forward. Which is why she decided she would be forward. Plus the teasing of her friend saying the others were going forward while she was hiding didn't go without earning him a chop to the neck.
Another girl was holding in her hand a pair of tickets. She was debating whether she could give it back to her parents and tell them she only needed one or keep them and invite the boy she had been hoping to know closer to the concert. She wanted to know him better. But more importantly. She wanted him to know her better. That they could spend time doing nothing and anything. She wanted to experience that with him.
Somewhere else, surrounded by the luxuries that only money could afford a girl was seeing a particular piece of paper she had put in a frame. In it was a drawing of her and a classmate. The draw had a small signature she requested. It read in a pretty handwriting a clear name:
Izuku Midoriya.
She was said to be able to create anything. And she could also afford anything. But seeing something like that, a piece of art that was done through the pure skill of someone that humbly made it, made her feel something in her chest. She had received the draw free. Yet she had spent all of yesterday looking for a drawing notebook for him. Not to pay him. It wasn't about that. It was because she wanted an excuse to talk more with him. She liked the way his eyes shined with marvel and the way he spoke of the things around. She wanted to stay close to someone who saw the world that way. A way that didn't saw things for their financial value. But because they meant something more.
Because they were special.
Another girl was working with machinery all around her, but she had done a small sketch and placed it with great care on the board of her room. Surrounded by schematics and future plans, it was clearly jumping to the eye. It was the sketch of a boy cleaning the face of a girl. The fun part was that in the draw machines surrounded them. In a way, a girl with no experience in romances was building her own plan to catch the eye of someone who saw her as if she was the most important thing in a room full of machines.
How did he do that? How could he ignore the wonders off the machines around them and only focus on her. She wasn't a machine, she wasn't a rare metal or the schematics for something never seen before. But he looked at her as if she was the most important thing in a room full of treasures. And she wanted to understand that.
And lastly, a blonde girl was smiling as she offered a hug to a boy who spend the night at her side hugging her. She felt safe in his arms, and even when those arms let go of her, she knew he was holding her, and she was holding him too. The beauty of their bond was something immaterial, something that couldn't be seen yet it existed. The beauty of the bonds between people who care for one another is marvelous like that.
For even if you cannot see them, it doesn't mean they aren't in your heart.
Izuku Midoriya was the luckiest man in the world. He just didn't know it yet.
When Izuku walked in the morning to reach the bus stop to go to school with Pony he had been given a gift that left him quite dazed. A kiss in the cheek. Toga kissed his cheek wishing him a great day in school and the promise that she would have a movie waiting for him. This time no horror films. He was smiling, it felt nice to him to see her being so happy.
He didn't know the reason she was so happy was because of him. But that is how happiness work at times, one just doesn't know how it happens, it just does.
As he reached the stop he brought the homework out of his bag and started doing it. It was easy. Some questions about law and the usage of quirks. Some people say they know something when they don't but when Izuku Midoriya said he knows something. He really did.
He finished the homework by the time he heard a set of steps he knows well. He looked to the right and saw Pony waving excitedly at him. She took to sit next to him in the stop. It wasn't weird for her to sit close to him. But he smiled looking at her as her eyes seemed to ask him if he saw anything different.
He nodded at her. And while the nod was an affirmation he did. She kept looking at him, requesting him to say it. He got slightly red in the face, an unspoken "Do I have to?" floating in the air. She smiled nodding at him. He took air and hoped to manage to say it without being so nervous.
"Your hair looks….." Three words. He managed three words and Pony giggled ushering for him to go on.
"It looks…." She kept nodding excitedly. She was expecting to hear the c-word.
"It looks b-beautiful…." Her expression froze in a smile. She had been expecting to be called cute as she had brushed her hair a bit more today. But being called beautiful was like winning the lottery for her. So she rewarded his courage with a kiss in the cheek that left him embarrassed and covering his reddening face in his hands.
"Thank you Izuku, you are looking cute today too. Even more, seeing your face like that." She giggled as she gave him a hug, though the use of the hug was to carry him to the bus as he was frozen in his posture.
Moments like this reminded Pony Tsunotori that Izuku Midoriya was adorably shy.
In the bus, they were chatting about classes and their day in general. Pony said Izuku made quite an impression in her class with how he managed to make Kinoko speak so much. It seemed the girl with the mushroom quirk had taken to speak highly of him. Something, which was shocking to them, as she hadn't spoken much during their first day.
Izuku said she was kind, which made Pony agree. Reiko Yanagi also spoke of him. That surprised even their teacher for he said they would make a small bonding exercise, everyone would say one thing they liked. Reiko said Izuku Midoriya earning a few snickers from the guys and surprise from others.
"I believe she may fancy you Izuku." She giggled seeing the distress in the face of Izuku at being the target of someone affection. She could just tease him for her whole life. She decided to see that cherry color in his face again and spoke again whispering at his ear.
"I may be fancying you myself, you know?" Needless to say, Izuku covered his face in his hands at the merciless teasing from Pony. What he didn't know was that Pony Tsunotori didn't speak what she didn't believe. When she said she was fancying him, she was being serious. Needless to say that even with embarrassment to he felt at the comments of Pony. Izuku wouldn't change coming to school with her.
Izuku didn't know it. But Pony was seriously thinking of the chance of taking him in a date.
She was used at the idea that the guy was supposed to invite the girl. But she decided to say screw that. She would be taking the boy out herself. She would go to his house and ask his parents if he could get out if it was needed!
When they arrived to the school, Pony looked at Izuku and asked if he could walk her to the classroom. Izuku was okay with it. They had arrived much earlier since Kamui Woods stopped an accident in their way to school. Had it been Mt. Lady, they would have been late with all damage control needed to clean.
Pony said she was a bad example of a female hero. Izuku said she only needed to get better at remembering what was important was to help people and not the fame. Pony looked at Izuku and giggled. Of course, he would defend heroes. Even some like Mt. Lady. She wanted to say he said that because she was pretty. But remembering she had teased him enough in the bus she decided to keep that comment for future use.
As they walked through the hallways for her classroom. She took notice Izuku was still fidgety of her holding his hand.
"Are you always going to be so nervous when I hold your hand?" She asked with a soft smile on her face. Izuku nodded at her. The soft smile turned mischievous.
"Oh, then I guess I will have to give you a reason to be nervous." She held his hand but with her thumb started running circles in his palm slowly. The sensation made Izuku get red in the face and Pony giggled.
"You are adorable…." She said while smiling.
As they approached her classroom she noticed Kinoko and Reiko were in the door waving at them.
"Good morning Izuku," Kinoko spoke with a smile and Reiko said a simpler. "Hello." At him.
Izuku greeted both.
"Good morning Yanagi. Good morning Komori." Kinoko raised her finger at him. Pointing at his face, she smiled.
"Kinoko. Remember? I said you could call me Kinoko." She smiled as he nervously redid his greeting.
"G-good morning Kinoko." He didn't even finish the phrase when Kinoko lunged in a hug to him.
"Ah, much better. Good morning Izuku." Izuku felt a small tap in his shoulder as Reiko pointed at herself. He immediately got the message.
"Ah, g-good morning Reiko…" Izuku took notice while having the girls so close to him.
"Say. Did you two do something to your hair?" Both girls smiled. More properly, Kinoko smiled as Reiko nodded while her expression was the same.
"Is so nice of you to notice!" Kinoko happiness was contagious as Midoriya smiled.
But like many things, it had to be stopped. Izuku felt a hand grabbing the neck of his uniform. He saw Monoma greeting him.
"You need to get to your own classroom soon or you will be late." Izuku eyes opened in surprise as he thanked Monoma. As the boy ran the girls looked at him with anger. He raised his hands in mock surrender.
"He is from class A you know? He needs to be in his own classroom." Itsuka Kendo walked inside and saw the face of the girls and at Monoma.
"Don't tell me I missed Midoriya." The trio of girls nodded and pointed at Monoma.
He looked at the girls and mouthed "Traitors."
Before he saw the shadow of a giant hand coming his way he could only sigh.
"The things I do to keep you safe…" Needless to say,
he fell easily to the chop of Itsuka Kendo.
In class A Kyouka Jirou was fidgeting with the tickets for a concert. She wasn't sure what to do. That was when Mina Ashido came into view.
"Oh! Tickets for the Rolling Fires?" She saw them with a smile and looked at the nodding Jirou.
"Can I go? I been wanting to go to one of their concerts, but they usually don't play in the city. I am surprised they came here this time but all the tickets were gone." Jirou showed a smirk as she held them proudly.
"Last pair. I was lucky myself." She had been lucky, her dad had received a pair of tickets and he said she could use them.
Normally her dad would take her mom to a concert and they would have dinner. But this time when Jirou asked him for tickets he asked about it.
"You want to go? Who are you taking with you?" His father raised an eyebrow as she looked to the floor. She didn't want to have this conversation.
"A friend." A vague answer. Moreover, her dad knew it.
"Oh, being vague aren't we? Is this a friend a guy? Or a girl? You know I am not going to judge you." He smiled as her cheeks took color.
"Is a guy.." Her dad nodded. Her mother came but not exactly to her rescue.
"Is he the boy you said before? The one who made a sketch of your smile?" Her mother sounded excited at the prospect of it being that boy. She wouldn't confirm her words, but her cheeks betrayed her.
"Well… I guess I can give you my tickets. On one condition though." He took the envelope holding the tickets in front of her.
"We want to meet him. So if you take the tickets, you have to invite him for dinner in… two weeks." She nodded.
"A month." She wouldn't relent though.
"One week." She knew her dad.
"A month." Her mother giggled taking the envelope and giving it to her.
"A month Kyouka. But if you don't do your part of the deal you will have to pay for those tickets." She could do that. How expensive could they be.
"They are front row in the VIP zone." Damn it! That was expensive!
"Can I go with you? Please?" Mina begged her. But she already had plans for the tickets.
"Sorry, Mina… I am hoping to invite someone." Mina sighed before looking at the tickets.
"You wouldn't be inviting Kaminari by chance would you?" Some rumors went around that Kaminari had a crush on Kyouka. Rumors moved fast.
"No." Was the short and simple answer from Kyouka. Mina smiled.
"Come on... who are you taking? I won't say a word." Kyouka offered Mina a look that says she didn't believe her.
"Aww come on! Please?" Kyouka sigh.
"No means no, Mina." Mina looked at Kyouka begging her. She couldn't relent. But she found herself finding the eyes of Mina being too adorable.
"Agh. I am inviting Midoriya…" She said out in a whisper. While in a normally teasing manner one would make the other repeat what they said, Mina seriously didn't hear the whisper of Kyouka.
"I couldn't hear your whisper…." She spoke with a deadpan tone. Kyouka sighed and looked around seeing no one but Mina she spoke clearly.
"Izuku Midoriya. I am inviting Midoriya." Just as she said those words, the mentioned boy entered the classroom and walked towards her and Mina. She immediately put the tickets away. And Mina looked at her with a raised eyebrow, she approached and whispered at her.
"What happened with the confidence of before?" Kyouka looked at Mina.
"Is a plan in progress okay?" She whispered back. Mina nodded and understood right then and there.
Kyouka had a crush in Izuku. She winked at Kyouka.
"I ship it…." And went to her own desk leaving Kyouka confused about what she said.
When Izuku sat in his desk Kyouka decided to use the confidence of before. She walked next to him and placed the tickets on his desk.
"Midoriya." Izuku looked at the tickets then at Kyouka who had a smile. It wasn't her usual smirk, but rather a small smile.
"I… if you are not busy this Saturday, I thought we could go to the concert together…" She hoped Izuku didn't notice how nervous she had been.
In fact, Izuku had been more nervous but seeing Kyouka smiling actually soothed him. He found himself nodding and showing a bright smile, he had never been to a concert before.
"I would like that! I have never been to a concert, thank you Jirou." The mentioned girl smiled excitedly at that.
"Well then! We will make it an unforgettable concert for you! I will pick you up!" Jirou cursed mentally at herself at how excited she was acting. Even more, she said she would pick him up. That meant she would be asking her parents to take Izuku with them!
"Oh thank you Jirou! I would appreciate that… I have never been to a concert, so I don't know how should I dress or anything." Jirou smiled nodding but could only think one thing.
Curse you adorable freckled boy! Do you know how adorable you are acting? How can I say no to that?!
Kyouka Jirou nodded and went on to explain Izuku she would go pick him with her parents on Saturday so they were on time.
Class with Midnight was related to art, and needless to say, she immediately took a liking for Izuku who was a master in sketching much to the chagrin of Yaoyorozu. She wanted to speak with Izuku during art class, hoping they could start forming a bond. However, the fact Midnight was around watching him work to put a halt to that plan.
Mina Ashido, self-declared master of romance decided to intervene when she saw the situation between Izuku and Yaoyorozu. Or lack of one. She noticed how she had tried to talk with little to no success. So it was her time to shine and help in the quest of love!
So she did the only thing she could think of.
"Excuse me! Midnight? Can you help me? I am trying to think of what to sketch." She smiled at the teacher who blinked and remembered she was supposed to be helping students, not gush at the talent of one.
She walked to the direction of Mina. Yaoyorozu took notice of Mina and said a small thank you. Mina waved at her ushering her to do whatever she was trying to do.
Momo Yaoyorozu didn't lose a second to move her easel next to Izuku and look at him. He noticed her coming, looked at her, and offered her a small smile.
"Hello, Midoriya." She greeted him and he greeted her back.
"Hello Yaoyorozu." He then resumed his sketching of All Might in his classic suit. Momo was impressed at how fast he was. But she returned her focus on something else. Him.
She took her pencil and started drawing Izuku as he worked. Her sketches were more rough than his. Midoriya was defined and clear. Hers were rough and had some rookie mistakes, but the general image was clear. Izuku had finished his All Might sketch when she finished making his face and half of his body.
She decided it was a good chance to actually chat with him.
"Midoriya… do you like sketching?" She cursed herself. She was one of the smartest students, and she said that?
Izuku didn't saw it as a dumb question. He smiled at her.
"I do… Is something I can do all the time. And I am good at it too." He smiled at her and she found herself smiling back. Seeing him happy made her happy.
"Say… my mother told me of an art exhibition during the Sunday… I was wondering if you would like to come with me." She let it out. The art exhibition was her best chance she guessed to spend time alone with him.
Izuku didn't know of this. He thought she was just looking for company.
"I would love to go… but are you sure? I mean you could invite someone else like Todoroki." Izuku was surprised when Yaoyorozu spoke.
"I would love if it was you though…" She surprised herself with the words that came out of her mouth.
Momo Yaoyorozu was a logical individual, but she also had a passion in her that showed itself in the form of her thirst of knowledge and the wish to better herself. But now? Now it showed itself in the form of hoping to share time with Izuku. To get to know him more.
The words of Yaoyorozu made Izuku cheeks redden and he found himself nodding. Yaoyorozu smiled.
"Thank you Izuku, I will pick you up is that fine?" He nodded and exchanged numbers with Yaoyorozu. She smiled at him.
It was then Izuku took notice of what Yaoyorozu had been sketching. It was a picture of him. Yaoyorozu looked sheepish.
"I think you are… a good model to draw…" She cursed herself and her choice of words. But found herself smiling when she saw the smile of Izuku looking shy.
"Thanks… you are good Yaoyorozu." He then proceeded to explain her a few tips so her sketch wouldn't get dirty when she worked around it.
Yaoyorozu was listening to every advice with a great level of attention, she liked to see this side of Izuku. The side that spoke with love of the things he did or others did.
She essentially loved Izuku attitude.
As all of this happened Mina Ashido was cursing her need to help Yaoyorozu as Midnight was heavily telling her the basic techniques for sketching.
"Come on, five more repetitions." She nodded and cursed.
"Damn it Momo… you better get some action…." Her comment of distraction earned her a reminder of Midnight that she needed to have a good grade.
When lunch came, Izuku was going to make his way to the roof when he clashed with a girl of long blue hair and blue eyes. Izuku found her to look cute. He apologized as he offered to help her stand, to his surprise the girl stood up herself with what seemed to be her quirk. Izuku immediately smiled and got speaking to the girl.
"How did you do that? Was it a sort of wave? It isn't magnetism right? The floor isn't metal and if its geomagnetically we aren't really on ground level….it is like an energy wave? Can you propel yourself to fly?" Izuku noticed the girl was looking curiously at him and she smiled.
"It is my quirk, is called Shockwave if I focus on my feet I can actually fly, but if I used it through my hands I can knock pretty much everyone. Mmm, I don't believe is energy, more like air… and who are you?" She asked with a smile as Izuku looked sheepishly to the floor. He had forgotten to introduce himself.
"Izuku Midoriya." He stretched her hand at her. She took it excitedly with a smile and shook it with the same emotion.
"Nejire Hadou!" She smiled as she proceeded to walk away while still holding Izuku. He was surprised as she kept walking with him outside. Izuku didn't understood where she was taking him. He also noticed a bunch of guys and girls seemed to make weird comments about the Hadou.
Nejire Hadou was excited.
Since the time she was declared a member of the top three in U.A. together with Mirio and Tamaki she had found herself unable to make friends. She had lots of people who admired her. But that wasn't the same as having a friend. So when Izuku Midoriya appeared she knew immediately she wanted to make him a friend.
It was refreshing to finally see someone who didn't act weird around her. He was authentic. She could tell. Not only because of his reactions, but because how he was asking so much of her quirk. Therefore, she needed to keep him safe and secure the friendship! She already had set out the line, now she had to get the hook and pull it! At least that was how Tamaki explained fishing to her.
Izuku simply was fumbling at the fact a pretty girl had pretty much kidnapped him.
As all of this happened the rest of the crew was in the roof. They decided to have lunch, surely if Izuku wasn't there was because something happened.
Neito Monoma had decided to try to joke about it.
"Come on, surely isn't something big. I mean, what? Do you really believe a girl just took him away? I mean, sure Midoriya has that cute charm thing going, but come on. Relax." He spoke seeing the face of Itsuka Kendo specially. She was particularly angry. She had decided she would try to speak to Izuku, but because Monoma send him to his classroom she lost her chance.
What's more. Reiko told her how Izuku called them all pretty in the morning noticing their hairstyle looking better than usual. Monoma got a chop in the neck when he said they looked the same.
Needless to say Monoma intent to joke was to avoid the rage of Itsuka Kendo.
Back with Nejire, she had brought Izuku with her to a zone away from the school building, in that far zone a boy was eating takoyaki while another seemingly was buried as Izuku could only see his neck and head over the floor.
The head spoke to Izuku.
"Ah! A new face! That is new!" He joked looking at the boy who was eating, seemingly ignoring the joke.
"Oh come on Tamaki. It was funny." The boy named Tamaki looked at the head and spoke with a serious face.
"Stay being a hero. You are not a good comedian Mirio." The boy named Mirio let out a gasp as he started going under the earth surprising Izuku. Before Izuku could ask he saw the boy behind him. Seemingly without clothes making Izuku let out a yelp of surprise.
"Greetings!" Mirio was given a uniform courtesy of Tamaki.
"Get dressed. He is not used at your quirk…" Mirio blinked in surprise nodding.
"Good thinking Tamaki." Mirio body once again went under the earth as the uniform hung from his head as he moved as a sort of shark in the land.
Nejire Hadou giggled getting Izuku attention.
"They are my friends, the blond one who you saw going down is Mirio Togata, the one who looks moody but actually is shy and has a heart of gold is Tamaki Amajiki." She pointed to each as she spoke.
Tamaki looked with curiosity at Izuku but then focused his gaze on the ground.
"You are a first year right?" Izuku nodded.
"I see… well… we are third years… don't let that stop you though, we don't care much of the grade you are… and since Nejire brought you... I guess you can't be that bad." He resumed his eating as Mirio appeared dressed looking at Izuku and stretching his hand.
"Well, is a pleasure to meet you. I am." Tamaki spoke.
"Nejire already presented you." Mirio blinked and smiled.
"Oh! Thanks Nejire." He still kept his hand stretched as Izuku took it for a handshake.
"Izuku Midoriya." The other boy smiled shaking Izuku excitedly.
"Is a pleasure to meet you Izuku!" With little effort Mirio used her other arm to bring over Tamaki, making the three get together in a hug.
"He is my best friend Tamaki! Don't let his look fool you! He has the heart of a hero beating inside of him!" Izuku was surprised when a tentacle appeared in front of him.
"And an octopus tentacle in my hand." Tamaki was actually expecting Izuku to be repulsed by his quirk, what he wasn't expecting was how big his eyes seemed to turn as he smiled.
"Amazing! Can you shapeshift into anything? Or is it related to the takoyaki you ate? Can you turn parts of your body into the limb of any animal you consumed?!" Izuku was excited seeing a quirk so different from what he was used too. Mirio chuckled as Izuku then looked at him.
"And you too! You were able to phase around the floor as if nothing, can you phase through anything? Is there a limit to the time you can do it?!" Izuku marveled and Nejire giggled.
This was the reason she wanted to be friends with him. He was as curious as she was.
As a matter of fact both Mirio and Tamaki had similar thoughts in different contexts. Mirio looked at Tamaki at the same time he looked at him.
"He is just like Nejire!" Mirio said excitedly. This was just like the day they met. Except Izuku was a boy. Which made things less awkward. Nejire had no regards of poking him. Plus this meant Izuku was a good kid.
"He is just like Nejire!" Said Tamaki feeling intimated. This was exactly like the day they met except Izuku was younger. He wasn't ready to revive the horrors of Nejire. He only hoped Izuku would respect his personal boundaries.
Once the hug ended Izuku kept asking questions as both boys answered. It was then something surprising happened. At least surprising to both Mirio and Tamaki. Nejire hugged Izuku from behind bringing him closer to her.
"Hey! He is my new friend, you already got each other as besties, don't take mine away." Mirio and Tamaki blinked at this comment.
Of course they were besties, they knew each other since they were kids. Still what surprised them was how possessive she seemed to be of Izuku.
Mirio raised his hands in mock surrender.
"He is your friend Nejire. Is not like we would try anything." Nejire looked at both with eyes that said she didn't believe them.
"I brought Izuku here with pure intentions of him knowing you two since you are my best friends." Tamaki let out a silent Only friends when Nejire kept going.
"But I won't let you take him away." She looked at Tamaki especially. This made Mirio laugh as the idea of Tamaki taking Izuku away was funny.
"Oh come on Nejire, I believe I have more chances of stealing Izuku than Tamaki." Tamaki looked at Mirio with an eyebrow raised.
"What do you mean? I could steal him if I wanted…." Mirio chuckled.
"Oh come on Tamaki. My quirk is better suited for that." Tamaki looked at Mirio as Nejire sighed and took Izuku with her.
"Can you believe that?" She sighed as she took Izuku holding his hand making him blush. When Nejire found a secluded spot she smiled she released the hand of Izuku, holding both of her hands together as she looked at him with curious eyes.
"Tell me Izuku. When was the last time you let your heart decide?" Izuku blinked at the question, as he was in thought, without any warning Nejire swept him while giggling. Carrying him as a bride the whole time.
"You might want to hug me back." Without more warning than that, she let her quirk get to work and send both of them flying. Izuku held Nejire tightly as she held him giggling. Izuku eyes were closed as Nejire managed to keep them in balance. Izuku had his eyes closed as he heard the giggle of Nejire.
"You know, Izuku, if you keep your eyes closed, you will never see the beauty around, and I am not speaking of me." Izuku decided to risk it and opened his eyes. They were flying over the school. Technically, they were hovering and Izuku could see all of U.A.
He found himself smiling. Seeing the school from so high it was marvelous, he also saw the surrounding areas and found himself amazed.
Nejire Hadou liked to consider herself a great judge of character. And seeing Izuku smiling face and the expression he had seeing something she saw daily made her smile. She never once lost the spark of happiness that came with flying. And seeing Izuku face she knew he wouldn't lose it either.
She found his face adorable.
Nejire Hadou was many things. Impulsive was one of them.
Without any care, she kissed Izuku in his cheek as she carried him around the school. Izuku was red in the face as Nejire giggled and held him closer to her.
"It's decided! I am keeping you! You are mine from now on Izuku" She held him tighter making Izuku get red in his face. As Izuku was floating with Nejire she decided to make conversation with whom she deemed would be hers.
"So! Tell me what you like, I want to know more about you." She smiled sweetly and Izuku face reddened, not by embarrassment, but by how pretty Nejire Hadou was when she smiled so sweetly.
At ground level Tamaki and Mirio looked upwards and saw the pair. Mirio was smiling brightly.
"They look so happy… Izuku must be a nice kid to make Nejire act like that." Tamaki nodded.
"Yeah… he does respect boundaries…" Mirio chuckled.
"I believe he is just shy Tamaki." He nodded at Mirio and spoke aloud.
"Think he may want to have lunch with us?" Mirio laughed bringing his friend into a side hug.
"Of course! We are the big three of U.A! How would we look if we couldn't convince someone to have lunch with us?" Tamaki spoke in a deadpan tone.
"Like fools…he probably wouldn't want to eat with us..." Mirio gasped in surprise.
"No! Tamaki! Don't sulk!" Needless to say, Mirio was having troubles making his friend stop sulking.
Back in the air Nejire smiled as she heard Izuku speak of his like for quirks and sketching. She made him promise to show her the sketchbook he had. She had been clear that if he didn't promise if she would let him go.
Needless to say she wouldn't let him go. Not really. She considered one thing as he kept chatting.
Izuku was a first year. She was in her third. They only had this year to make as most memories as they could… she would make it work. She would make as most memories as she could. Then when the time for the goodbye came…
She looked at the smile in the face of Izuku as he told her how beautiful it would make a sketch of the city from their point of view.
When the goodbye came. Maybe it wouldn't be a goodbye…
Maybe the end of her time with Izuku wouldn't come by the end of the year. Maybe she simply wouldn't call him Izuku and he wouldn't call her Nejire.
She would call him by another name…
Nejire wasn't ashamed of admitting she liked the boy she was holding. The boy who was seeing everything with marvel. Who wasn't scared of showing how curious he was, that was trying to be a hero and openly spoke of his admiration to All Might. The boy who wasn't ashamed of admitting his shortcomings and spoke of them as things that would make him a great hero.
Something was said. Something made her heart skip a beat.
Nejire found herself ignoring the voices in her head that told her she was going too fast and kissed Izuku ear, nibbling at it softly leaving in it a small mark.
Izuku let out a gasp of surprise as Nejire told him not to worry through holding him.
Mirio and Tamaki may had been at ground level, but both knew what happened and could only act in surprise. They knew she was impulsive. But they had never seen her act so rashly. Tamaki spoke what Mirio was thinking.
"Love at first sight?" Mirio nodded and could only speak an answer with a serious face.
"Yeah… but does Izuku shares it?" Tamaki nodded at the words of Mirio.
"That's the important question right?" Both simply nodded.
Both friends hoped Nejire knew what she was doing.
As they went back down Nejire hugged Izuku one last time. He looked red in the face as he held his ear with his left hand. Mirio and Tamaki told him to be safe and rush to class. The two thirds of the big three looked at Nejire. Surprisingly Tamaki spoke first.
"What were you thinking? The kid looks to be shy and you go from zero to hundred and nibble his ear?" Nejire had the decency to look down to the floor.
Mirio placed a hand on her shoulder making her look at them.
"We are not saying you did wrong…" Tamaki spoke.
"I just say that." Mirio ignored Tamaki.
"We are just curious about what brought you to do such a thing." Mirio placed a hand over the mouth of Tamaki so Nejire could speak.
"I… we got a year left…" Mirio nodded at her and motioned for her to go on.
"In one year, we will stop being students, and we will be heroes… during all our years here, did you ever fell in love?" Mirio kept quiet and she kept going.
"Both of you know how heroism works outside. People get into relationships because they want popularity… I just want someone holding me, I just want someone nice who is there willing to hear me rambling, who doesn't mind me when I get distracted and start speaking of something else... I want someone who looks at me every day as I am the most important person in the world….." Tamaki spoke in a moment of distraction from Mirio.
His words were not accusing her.
"You like the way he sees you, don't you? But more than that, you like the vibe he has right? Because he is nice, because he sees everything with wonder…." Nejire nodded at the words of Tamaki.
"I am not justifying myself… nibbling his ear was out of place… it just felt like it was the right thing to do…" Mirio sighed.
"He looked as red as a tomato… did he say anything that made you lose control like that?" Nejire smiled.
"He called me pretty… it was an accident…" She smiled. She didn't mind being called pretty.
"Lots of people call you pretty though, and a bunch more of names." Tamaki words were the truth.
She nodded, but she looked at the sky, not at them, remembering a particular set of words. That she shared with them.
You are amazing! Able to see this every time you want!
Oh? I am amazing? Am I pretty too?
Just like the sky.
Those words had slipped from him by accident. He considered her as pretty as the blue sky. The sky was to her one of the most beautiful things she could see. No one had called her pretty as the sky.
"I lost control for a moment. I even thought I would end up making us fly higher…." Tamaki looked at her with a small smile on his face.
"I guess it could have been worst… so what's the plan?" Nejire looked at Tamaki and Mirio. Both were smiling.
"You mean?" She brought her hands together linking her fingers, waiting for them to keep speaking. Mirio nodded at her.
"Yeah. Whats the next part of the plan to make Izuku and you enter a relationship." She giggled and jumped at them, taking both in a hug.
A hug Mirio was returning, and Tamaki tried to escape from.
"You two are the best!" Mirio laughed as he pulled Tamaki in the hug when he almost escaped.
"Can't we do this without the hugs?" The other two laughed.
Toshinori Yagi was laughing happily as he and Izuku were in the nurse of Recovery Girl. When Izuku was in a crisis respecting what happened with Nejire Hadou, he ran to the wisest hero he knew. All Might. When Izuku explained what happened All Might let out a whistle of surprise.
"I am impressed young Midoriya. I was never that popular with the girls." Izuku panicked asking for help as he laughed. He told him not to worry, surely no one would look at the small bite in his ear, it wasn't bigger than a pinky finger. Still, Izuku asked for his help and through laughs, he brought him to Recovery Girl.
"A nibble mark? Don't you work fast? We have been in classes for three days and you already got a girl in love with you?" She laughed as he looked at Toshinori.
"You choose a successor who is lucky with the girls, who would have said that, I believed you said he was shy." Izuku nodded as Toshinori laughed.
"He is shy. Young Midoriya is shy. But he also seems to have gotten some of the Yagi charm." As he laughed Recovery Girl chuckled too.
"Yagi charm? Really? I thought Endeavor was the one who had kids." Toshinori stopped laughing as he gasped looking at Recovery Girl.
"Such a blow. I didn't expect that from you." She giggled as she spoke.
"I thought you would end up marrying David Shield." Toshinori gasped in mock hurt.
"Don't get David into this, he is a good friend… did you know he is thinking of enrolling his daughter here?" This caught her attention.
"Oh? Melissa is coming? She is such a nice girl… we should make sure Midoriya doesn't approach her, we don't need David entering a feud about Midoriya corrupting his daughter." Both laughed at this.
During this whole exchange Midoriya held his face hiding with his hands covering his face at the huge shame he was in.
The combo of Recovery Girl and All Might ganging up against him was too much.
Recovery girl patted Izuku in the arm to tell him she had already fixed his ear. He said he didn't felt her use her quirk.
"Who said I used my quirk?" She smirked pointing to the mirror for him to look.
Izuku found himself wearing a band-aid with an All Might pattern.
"Let's be real kid. That nibble is the size of a nail, is not even worth to use my quirk in it. Plus it was a love nibble. It would be offensive to make it disappear. Therefore, you go on with it. A girl fell for you hard enough as to do that." Izuku sighed thanking both of them as he walked out of the nurse office.
Toshinori looked at her.
"You don't think that, do you? You just like seeing him embarrassed." She smiled nodding.
"Can you blame me? Do you know how much romance goes in this school? Not enough I tell you! So whoever did that to your boy has my support and my silence too." She laughed as Toshinori found himself laughing too.
"Midoriya is a nice boy Toshinori. I am sure whoever did that had no malice; I am even willing to say that by the size she was being as careful as she could." She smiled looking outside by a window.
"Young romance is such a beautiful thing wouldn't you agree?" He nodded. He smiled thinking of Izuku yesterday.
"You know. A couple of girls seemed to really like young Midoriya when we were having the joint class exercise." This made her perk up and look at him.
"Oh! Let me make some tea, I want details Toshinori, details!" He chuckled as he remembered.
"Reiko Yanagi and Kinoko Komori were the two girls who were with him in the joint exercise, they ended up staying in the roof." She nodded excitedly.
"Look at that! Getting hearts all over. Think one of them was the one who did that to his ear?" Toshinori was in thought.
As the pair were chatting they never noticed when Present Mic and Midnight entered, enthralled by the story Toshinori was sharing.
As Recovery Girl said.
The school needed more romance. Things can be replaced, but great moments cannot afford to be lost. And right now there was a moment that couldn't be afforded to be lost.
