The first thing Izuku noticed when he regained consciousness was that he was a lot more horizontal than he remembered. Next, was that he was lying on something soft and warm, his body sinking comfortably into its plush mass like a fluffy cloud. Finally, as his emerald eyes slowly fluttered open, his gaze fell upon a couple of golden orbs and the smiling face of Toga Himiko hovering directly above him, a sly, toothy grin on her face.
"Welcome back to the waking world, Izu-kun!"
"GAAAH!" Sitting up in fright, Toga standing back upright to expertly dodge the green-haired boy's oncoming head, Izuku backed away from the godlike girl, his hands digging into silk sheets beneath him before colliding roughly with the headboard behind him. Grabbing his head in pain, Izuku could hear the blonde schoolgirl break out in her familiar fit of giggles.
"I thought you would get used to seeing my face by now." Shooting the godlike girl an annoyed frown, which only made Toga laugh more as she pressed her palms to her mouth to try and stifle her giggles, Izuku took the opportunity to see where exactly he had woken up.
He deduced quickly enough that it was the hotel room he and Toga were going to share tonight, his head swirling momentarily as the situation rolled through his mind again, the size and splendor of it causing the young hero's emerald eyes to widen in surprise. The hotel could only be described as luxurious.
Gorgeously painted walls in stunning white helped brighten the surprisingly sparsely furnished room, only a couple of closets, a stiff-looking couch, a writing desk, and a TV on top of wooden dresser occupying the wide space. The sun shining through the large windows further illuminated the room in its radiance, the soft hum of the air conditioner keeping the temperature at a comfortable level.
A couple of sliding doors lead to a balcony that oversaw the sparkling blue ocean from what had to be 30 stories up, spreading out before them in an azure landscape, small islands of green dotted amongst the seemingly never-ending water.
All in all, it was an absolutely spectacular room, the sheer amount it must cost to stay here boggling the young hero's mind, never having really experienced such luxury before joining U.A. But, there was something that Izuku felt like he was forgetting.
Shifting slightly to get more comfortable against the wooden headboard, Izuku's whole body froze up when his mind finally registered just what he was sitting on, his emerald eyes wide with terror when he noticed that there was only one bed in the room. One King Sized Bed. For the two of them.
And Toga will definitely want to share.
"Heehee, I can't believe you fainted at just the thought of sharing a room with me." Toga playfully poked at the poor boy's reddened cheek, her golden eyes alight with cheer as Izuku embarrassingly lowered his gaze, both from her teasing and from the revelation he made mere moments ago. "Am I that tempting for you, Izu-kun~?"
Snapping his head to stare at the godlike girl in shock, his whole body radiating an uncomfortable heat as he broke out in an all-encompassing blush, Izuku was about to vehemently deny the girls claims when he noticed an odd look in her usually cheerful eyes.
While still full of their brilliant golden shine, the green-haired boy noticed a softness behind her mirthful eyes, her gaze occasionally flittering over his body as if she were looking for something. It was as if she was looking for some kind of sign of injury or checking on his well-being, sticking close to his side but trying to give him the necessary space he might need to recover from his earlier fainting spell.
A small smile spread on the young hero's lips when he found out just what the godlike schoolgirl was doing, his heart beating softly in his chest as happiness flowed throughout his body in pleasant waves. It touched him greatly knowing how much she cared, truly cared, about him. He knew it wasn't fake or for show, that he was just some toy to play with until she has had her fill and goes on to exact her godly whims upon someone else.
Toga really did love him.
"Now that you are awake, you should go meet up with everyone else!" Jumping off of the bed in a single leap, Toga turned to the confused boy with a brilliant smile, her hands clasped playfully behind her back as she leaned forward, unwittingly giving Izuku a glimpse of her generous cleavage. "They all headed to the beach already and you should join them."
Pulling at the boy's arm, Izuku stumbling slightly as he was dragged unceremoniously off of the bed, the blonde god began pushing him toward the hotel room door, briefly stopping to throw a bag full of beach supplies over his shoulder. Throwing open the heavy door, Toga threw the bewildered boy out into the hallway, Izuku wobbling slightly from the extra weight resting upon his shoulder.
"Ah, T-Toga-chan. What about you?" Flapping his arms quickly to keep from falling over, the green-haired boy turned to the grinning girl in the doorway, his face full of worry and confusion. "Aren't you coming?"
"Of course, silly." Toga responded with an amused chuckle as she flashed the boy a tooth-filled smile. "I just have to get changed first. Don't worry, I'll meet up with you all in a bit."
"But…can't you just make it appear like you did your school uniform the other day?" All the young hero got as a response was a seductive wink from the playful god before she closed the door with a soft click, leaving Izuku alone in the long, empty hotel hallway. He wasn't sure if he should feel concerned about that.
Deciding to just let it go, for now, something he's grown used to since the godly schoolgirl entered his life, Izuku adjusted the heavy bag of beach supplies on his shoulder before following the signs for the elevator. For now, he would just try and enjoy his little vacation as much as possible.
Stepping onto the beach, the white sand crunching softly underneath his sandals as the sun beat down upon his shoulders, Izuku immediately spotted the rest of his classmates, their colorful attire's and raucous cheers helping them stand out amongst the sparsely populated beach-goers.
"Heeeyyyy! Midori!" Waving back at his energetic classmate, a small blush covering his cheeks as Mina bounced excitedly while waving her arms back and forth to grab the mop-headed boy's attention, her generous curves wrapped inside of a sparkling sky-blue bikini that complimented her boisterous personality perfectly.
"Are you feeling better Midoriya-kun?" Momo, donning a simple red bikini, approached the green-haired boy, her hand pressed worriedly against her chest, her black eyes full of concern for her new friend.
"Yeah, Midoriya. You just conked out on us there." Sato, in a bright yellow pair of swim trunks, walked up to his side while placing a friendly hand on his shoulder.
"S-sorry about that. I'm ok now." Rubbing the back of his head nervously, the young hero feeling bad for making his friends worry, Izuku dropped the bag Toga had forced upon him onto the sand, feeling this was as perfect a spot as any.
Surveying the rest of the beach, Izuku couldn't help the small blush that dusted his cheeks as his eyes wandered over the assembled group of his classmates, all of the girls sporting a lovely form of swimsuit, from Ochaco's suitably pink two-piece to Tsuyu's old fashioned blue and white striped one-piece suit. Each girl looked simply stunning and radiant as they played joyously in the waves like Mina and Tooru or were just kicking back lazily in their lounge chairs as Jiro was currently doing.
Every single boy, on the other hand, had gone with a simple pair of swim trunks of varying colors fitting their personal scheme, except for Mineta who was sporting a very unflattering pair of speedos which were sadly on display for all to see as the perverted boy was currently buried upside down in the sand. Clearly, the grape headed boy hadn't wasted any time harassing the girls and was just as swiftly dealt with.
Despite the glorious sight, as Mineta would say, before him of the girls in such revealing outfits, which did leave the wielder of One For All a tiny bit flustered, he was surprised at how well he was handling it. Usually, something like this would leave him a stuttering wreck that resembled a firetruck more than a boy. Something had changed in him, but he wasn't too sure what it could be.
Letting that thought go, for now, Izuku decided to do some quick warm-up exercises before joining everyone in the ocean, the young hero always one to follow proper guidelines and advice when it comes to health. Slipping off his loose-fitting t-shirt, his toned muscles rippling and flexing for all to see, Izuku rummaged momentarily in the bag Toga had given him before procuring a small bottle of sunscreen.
Applying a decent layer on every exposed part of his body, Izuku making sure to not miss a single spot, the green-haired boy placed it neatly back into the bag before starting out with some basic stretches to help loosen up his muscles. All Might had always taught him to take proper care before doing any strenuous activity, even if it is something as simple as swimming in the ocean with friends.
"Oi! Toga-chan!" Freezing up while in mid lunge, Izuku could already feel a small blush grace his cheeks at merely the thought of a scantly clad Toga approaching him. Maybe it wasn't so bad. Maybe she had gotten something more conservative.
"Looking sexy, girl!"
'Dammit!' Cursing internally, Izuku decided to just bite the bullet and get his embarrassment over with, the mop-headed boy slowly turning to face the oncoming blonde, his mind going blank the instant he laid eyes upon the living god.
Lightly jogging toward the green-haired boy, her sandal-clad feet kicking up little sprays of sand, Izuku was ashamed to admit that the first thing his gaze zeroed in on was the godlike girl's modest-sized breasts wrapped snugly within a striking white bikini top. The round orbs bounced and heaved tantalizingly with every step she took, the blood inside Izuku's body shooting straight to his head, causing a literal puff of smoke to pop out.
Trying to avert his leering gaze from the wondrous sight, the young hero unsure if he could survive staring at them any longer, Izuku's emerald eyes swept down Toga's svelte and trim stomach, the pale skin glistening slightly in the blazing sun, until they reached the accompanying attire to her bikini top.
A matching white pair of bikini bottom's with an attached frill skirt, a thin black stripe running across the edge, completed Toga's ensemble, the movement of the blonde schoolgirl's toned legs flipping up the edge as she ran.
'Skin! So much skin! Too much, too much!' The non-stop stimulation coursing through his system, his eyes flittering across the godlike schoolgirl's body at rapid speeds, unable to remain fixed at one spot too long, eventually proved too much for the poor boy and his mind shut off for the second time in one day.
"Hi, Izu-kun!" Snapping back into the waking world at Toga's cheerful greeting, the edges of his vision blurred from his momentary loss of consciousness, Izuku stared into the blondes gleaming eyes, the sun reflecting off of them like molten pools of gold. "Do you like my swimsuit?"
Raising his eyebrows in confusion, his mind not yet fully up and running, Izuku slowly lowered his gaze downward until his eyes locked onto the godlike girl's cleavage, her breasts bulging enticingly from within the cups of her bikini top.
And with that, Izuku lost consciousness once more, flopping lifelessly onto the soft sand beneath him.
"Hee~ Glad he liked it." Greatly pleased with the boy's reaction, Toga giggled softly, a beaming smile on her lips, as she stared at Izuku's lifeless form. He really knew how to make a girl feel special.
For the third time, which Izuku had to guess was a new record for him, the wielder of One For All returned to the world of the waking, his head spinning slightly from the constant loss of consciousness, causing him to let out a small groan of discomfort. He needed to get a handle of his emotions, dealing with everything at 100%, especially with someone like Toga around, was surely going to leave him a wreck sooner or later.
"Doing ok there, Izu-kun?" Peeking one of his eyes open carefully, the green-haired boy surprised to find himself draped in the cooling shade provided by the beach umbrella above, protecting him from the suns blinding rays. The next thing he noticed was that he was staring into the Toga's beaming face, a soft, caring smile on her lips, his head resting gently on her thighs. Her completely exposed thighs.
"Grah!" A strange sound between a scream and a croak spilled forth from Izuku's lips as his whole body went stiff in a panic as he felt the velvety softness of Toga's skin beneath his head, the back of his neck caressing oh so gently over the smooth surface of the godlike girl's thigh. Mixed with the up close and personal view the mop-headed hero had of the girl's bikini-clad body, Toga hovering above him as she stretched her legs across a large beach blanket, almost sent the poor boy into a panicked frenzy.
His mind told him to run, to create distance between him and the gorgeous blonde before he visited the sleeping realm for a record fourth time, but the feeling of something running softly through his hair with a calming gentleness kept him rooted to the spot.
Lifting his gaze slightly, making sure to avoid staring at the gentle swell of her breasts, Izuku watched as Toga raked her fingers methodically through his curly mop of hair, every now and then softly scratching her fingernails across his scalp, causing a pleasant chill to run down his spine. The young hero could feel the tenseness in his body slowly evaporate as the godlike schoolgirl continued her gentle ministrations, a relaxed smile curling on his lips as he stared into Toga's beautiful face.
A content giggle rolled from Toga's chest as she continued to play with her Izu-kun's soft curly locks, her gaze roaming over the wielder of One For All's gorgeously sculpted body, clad only in a pair of navy blue swim trunks, his upper body on full display for her to enjoy. Every inch of him was simple perfection to the godlike girl, her free hand itching to run across his abs, Toga pretty sure even she couldn't create something as magnificent as the boy currently settled in her lap. And to think, he was all hers. Or, at least, he will be. Someday soon, she hoped.
After getting her fill of the boy's sexy body, for now, Toga returned to look at the boy's adorable face, the blonde schoolgirl surprised to find him staring up at her with a cute little smile on his lips that made her heart jump in her chest. The godlike girl found herself enraptured in his deep pools of shining emerald, her golden gaze locked with his, her fingers stopping their slow caress as she got lost in his beautiful eyes. The pair stared unblinking into each other's eyes for what felt like ages, neither of them able to tear themselves away from each other's gaze, completely oblivious to the world around them, as if all that existed, in that moment, were the two of them.
Loud splashing, followed by a series of amused giggles and shouts of joy, finally broke through the pairs momentary spell, their eyes blinking rapidly as small blushes dusted their cheeks. Izuku turned his head as he tried to locate the source of the sound, his eyes squinting slightly at the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off of the ocean. Blinking a couple of times to rid himself from the momentary blindness, the inheritor of One For All saw the rest of his classmates playing in the ocean, bright smiles adorning their faces as they frolicked joyfully in the waves.
"Ne, Toga-chan?" Tilting her head slightly to the side, the same serene smile still plastered on her face, Toga blinked her eyes curiously, gesturing for the boy to go ahead. "Why aren't you out having fun with everyone else?"
The smile on her lips never faltered after Izuku asked his question, but the green-haired boy noticed the loving and joyous glint in her eyes dull slightly, a bitter sadness glistening within her golden gaze as she placed her palm atop the boy's head.
"After all my years on the run, being branded a villain, I don't really know how to deal with other people anymore." Toga responded matter of factly, her voice thick with emotion as she closed her eyes, trying to give her beloved a reassuring smile when she noticed the concerned look in his emerald orbs. Izuku truly was a sweetheart.
"Don't look so down, Izu-kun. I'm ok." Toga gently stroked the boy's hair as she tried to make the young hero feel better, to let him know everything was alright. "I have you after all."
Giving the boy one last melancholic smile, the green-haired boy seeing the strain behind that smile, the blonde schoolgirl stared at their classmates with a wistful look in her eyes.
"That's all I need."
Izuku's heart felt heavy in his chest as he stared up at the godlike blonde, the familiar sting of tears burning at the corner of his eyes, the young hero feeling how much Toga truly wanted to make friends, to go and play with everyone without a care or worry in the world. But something was holding her back, as if she didn't feel she could be open around them, to let anyone in.
But, Izuku knew better, knew she wanted to just let loose and have fun with everyone. The green-haired boy knew Toga could be open with everyone else, Izuku having faith that his classmates would accept the godlike girl, quirks and all. He knew she could open up to them, because she had with him.
With a determined glint in his eyes, Izuku suddenly jumped to his feet, the unexpected move startling the godlike blonde as she stared up at the green-haired boy in shock. Whirling around, with previously unseen courage, Izuku grabbed a hold of the shocked schoolgirl's wrist before pulling her toward the ocean.
"Izu-kun?" Stumbling slightly in the soft sand, Toga stared at the back of the boy's head, confusion written all over her face. Her heart skipped a beat when he turned to give her a breathtaking smile, his green eyes sparkling as the sun shone over his adorable face, a small blush spreading on her cheeks at Izuku's bold actions.
"Let's have fun with everyone, ok, Toga-chan?" Warmth flooded her body like an explosion, every part of her being cocooned in a feeling of undying adoration and affection for the young hero as he gave her one last magnificent grin before pulling her into the ocean, the water lapping at her heels as the pair made their way over to the rest of the class.
Staring at the back of his head, the sun reflecting off of the water silhouetting Izuku in a heavenly glow, the godly schoolgirl could feel herself fall even more in love with him.
"Ah! Midori! Toga-chan!" Mina waved ecstatically at the approaching pair, her arms flailing wildly before falling back to her side to keep herself afloat as she briefly fell beneath the waves, the girl giggling in amusement as she shook the droplets of water from her face.
"I'm glad you could join us. The boys were just about to have a race and I'm sure Midoriya-kun would give them a good run for their money." The heiress slowly swam up to Toga and Izuku, Momo smiling happily, overjoyed to see the pair finally join them as she gave the green-haired boy a gentle push toward the starting line.
"Hey man, it's not fair if Midoriya joins in!" Kaminari whined as Izuku lined up next to him, the green-haired boy shooting him a sheepish grin before settling himself into a comfortable position.
"Oh shush! Can't say your the best if you don't compete against him!" Mina blew a raspberry at the electric user as she pulled her lower eyelid down mockingly, Kaminari grumbling softly as he readied himself for the race.
"C'mon Toga-chan! Let's give them some space." The godlike girl let out a small noise of protest as the black-haired heiress placed her hands on her shoulders, guiding her to spot a safe distance from the competitor's race path, Toga hating to admit how nice it felt to feel so close to another person again.
As the girls waited for the race to begin, the pair bobbing gently with the waves as they watched the boy's line up, Toga couldn't help but notice that Momo had not removed her hands from the blonde's shoulders, keeping them there in a quiet, affectionate manner. And, to her surprise, Toga did not mind one bit, the godlike girl relaxing slightly at the other girl's gentle touch as she kept her golden gaze glued on her beloved Izu-kun, the familiar spark of Full Cowling crackling across his skin as Tooru counted down from 3.
The race was over before they knew it, Izuku, with the help of One For All, easily outpacing all of his classmates, the green speedster kicking up a huge tidal wave as he cut through the water like Toga's knife through an unsuspecting victim. The girls all broke out in raucous cheers for the mop-headed boy, none more so than Toga herself, as the rest of the boys hung their heads in defeat.
Mineta began seething in anger as the blonde girl raced over and launched herself into Izuku's arms, the pair being dunked momentarily underwater before resurfacing in a fit of giggles as Toga pressed herself deep into Izuku's arms, the rest of the girls congratulating the green-haired boy on his victory. The water around the Pop Off hero boiled from the burning hate and jealousy radiating off of Mineta's diminutive form. No one boy should be so lucky.
The boy's competitiveness did not end there, many of their egos having taken a hit at the fact that they lost to someone who had fallen unconscious three times in one day, the losers challenging Izuku to a game of Chicken Fight. Perking up at the mention of the new challenge, many of the girls excitedly suggested a tournament where the boys would be teamed up with a girl who will ride on their shoulders.
The boys readily agreed to the proposed idea, excited to get their revenge on the green-haired boy as well as getting to be up close and personal with one of the girls, especially Mineta who currently had a veritable waterfall of drool seeping from between his lips. Iida volunteered to be the referee, wanting to make sure nothing got too out of hand, especially if the purple-haired boy was going to be involved.
After a quick game of rock paper scissors to decide the pairings, except for Izuku who the class assumed would obviously be teamed with Toga, the teams were settled, Kaminari and Mineta watching on in despair as the rest of the boys lifted their respective female partner onto their shoulders. Due to the uneven ratio of boys to girls in Class 1-A, the perverted duo ended up being paired together, Mineta currently sitting upon his electric friend's shoulders, tears of anguish rolling down their cheeks before becoming one with the ocean.
Round 1 was decided quickly, as Mineta was too distracted by Momo's revealing swimsuit to put up much of a fight, leaving Kaminari severely outmatched to her and Sero, the Tape user able to easily topple over the seething blonde as he yelled at his partner to focus. It was an utter defeat for the perverted duo.
Tooru and Shoji managed to overcome their adversaries of Jiro and Koda rather quickly, the gentle-hearted boy afraid to hurt the multi-limbed hero as Shoji gently wrapped the boy up, leaving him utterly unable to help his purple-haired teammate. Jiro meanwhile had her own problems, the fact that Tooru was only wearing a revealing(?) pink bikini meant she had no idea where the girls arms were currently located, meaning the invisible girl managed to catch the rocker completely by surprise, sending her screaming into the waves below.
In match-up three, the unlikely team of Ochaco and Todoroki, the two-toned boy having been roped into the game against his will, were going up against Tsuyu and Ojiro. While surely an odd pairing, Tsuyu's all-around expertise and Todoroki's inability to use his quirk due to his proximity to Ochaco gave her team the advantage.
Using her tongues superior reach, the frog-like girl managed to wrap the long appendage around Ochaco's waist and easily send the gravity user floating off into the distance, the round-cheeked girl having used her quirk earlier to lighten Todoroki's load. Needless to say, it was a swift and decisive victory.
Finally, Izuku and Toga got their time to shine as the godlike girls scrambled excitedly onto Izuku's shoulders, the poor boy blushing up a storm when he felt his cheeks rub up against the blonde's thighs, his hands running across her silky smooth skin as he held her legs in place.
Even though the feeling of having his head enclosed by a pair of perfectly soft and toned legs distracted him greatly, the young hero was prepared to win this for Toga, wanting to prolong her happiness for as long as humanly possible. The sound of her delighted giggles and the bright smile on her face making Izuku's heart soar with joy.
The couple, that wasn't really a couple, of Toga and Izuku had probably the hardest test before them as they took on the well-rounded team of Mina and Kirishima. While Mina's acid was something they would definitely have to keep an eye on, Izuku would have to make sure he didn't cut himself on the sharp edges of the hardening hero's body, his rock-solid defense going to prove to be a challenge for the very offensive-minded hero.
In the end, it would be their expert teamwork that would be the difference-maker, Izuku and Toga working as one as the godlike girl kept the alien queen distracted with her quick and erratic movements, Mina unable to fire off a shot before the blonde would signal her green-haired steed to move out of the way.
This constant movement, with Toga's quick bursts of attack and Izuku's fleet-footed maneuvers, ended up being the winning strategy for the not-couple, Mina and Kirishima noticing far too late that they were being corralled toward the deeper part of the ocean before they both tumbled into the water at the sudden drop in elevation.
And so, the semi-finals began, Momo and Sero continuing their winning streak by speedily eliminating Tooru and Shoji, eliminating the tentacled hero as soon as the match started with an expertly placed shot of tape. Creating a flashbang, the heiress blinded the invisible girl before pushing her off of Shoji's broad shoulders in one swift motion. It was an unfortunate match-up, one that secured Momo and Sero's place in the finals.
Toga and Izuku were once again matched up with some formidable opponents in Tsuyu and Ojiro, their perfect balance of long-range and hand to hand meaning the couple would have to use their brains once again.
Tsuyu decided to stick to a winning strategy as she went for the attack immediately, the green-haired girl gasping in shock when Toga dodged her frog-like appendage with expert grace, grabbing a hold of the slimy, pink tongue before she had time to retract it, a mischievous grin on her face as she bared her fangs menacingly. Biting down teasingly onto Tsuyu's elongated tongue, nibbling on its pink surface with a satisfied purr, Toga let go of the frog-like appendage as soon as she tried to retract it, the green-haired girl letting out a yelp of surprise as she lost her balance from the sudden loss of resistance.
This split-second opening was all they needed as Izuku rushed at the martial arts hero, the green-haired boy able to close the distance with the other team due to the water resistance slowing the movements of Ojiro's tail, the coordinated push by him and Toga sending their foes toppling over with a resounding splash.
Now it was time for the finals as Toga and Izuku squared off against Momo and Sero, both teams having impressed wildly in their previous bouts. But there could be only one victor and Izuku was determined to make it him and Toga, the young hero's competitive spirit having fired up over the course of the tournament. He knew they could win, even without Toga's powers, something they had proven twice already.
Tapping Toga secretly on the leg, the blonde schoolgirl quirking her eyebrow curiously to let him know she was paying attention, Izuku covertly gestured toward the vice-class president, disguised as a simple readjustment of the girl on his shoulders. Grinning in understanding, Toga ruffled her fingers through his hair, letting him know she got the message as well as wanting to play with his poofy mane again.
To the surprise of everyone, Izuku was the first one to make a move, sending a gigantic wave of water toward the unsuspecting pair with the help of One For All, obscuring Sero view leaving him unable to fire off any tape to bind the pair. Using the veil as a barrier, Toga planted her feet against Izuku's shoulders and launched herself toward the black-haired girl, the wielder of One For All helping push her off, giving her an extra boost of speed.
As soon as her body breached through the wall of water, the blonde having correctly guessed which direction the opposing pair would dodge toward, Sero shot of some tape at her oncoming form, hoping to catch her before she could reach Momo. Having expected this, Toga procured a knife from seemingly nowhere, immediately cutting the tape as soon as it wrapped around her wrist, leaving her free to continue her trajectory toward the vice-class president.
Before she collided with the young heiress, both Momo and Sero's attention focused on the blonde girl barreling toward them, Izuku came bursting through the wave of water, Full Cowling crackling across his body as he raced toward the shocked tape hero. Creating a riot shield for protection, Momo braced herself for impact, looking on in shock as Toga readjusted herself in midair, planting her feet against the hard plastic of the black-haired girl's shield.
Grinning in victory, Toga pushed herself off of Momo's shield, knocking her off balance long enough for Izuku to reach Sero and topple him over with a solid shove, the pair's combined momentum leading them to fall unceremoniously into the water. Bracing himself, Izuku expertly caught Toga back on his shoulders, the blonde schoolgirl raising her hands with a victorious flourish as she let out a loud 'Ta-da!'.
"Winners! Toga and Midoriya!" Iida yelled out as he pointed a robotic hand toward the winning pair, Toga cheering loudly before letting herself drop into the ocean with a splash, launching herself out of the water and into Izuku's arms as the pair celebrated their victory.
"Alright enough competition! Let's have some fun!" Holding an inflatable ball over her head, Tooru tossed it playfully toward her classmates, a small group forming as they hit it back and forth to each other, cheers and laughter rolling from their chests as they enjoyed their time at the beach.
Ochaco meanwhile quietly tapped her frog-like friend on the shoulder, Tsuyu's rounded eyes staring at her questioningly as the brown-haired girl gestured for her to follow her away from the rest of the class. Staring at her in wonder, Tsuyu followed her friend without question, curious to see what had the usually cheerful girl looking so concerned.
"What's wrong, Ochaco-chan?" Tsuyu placed her finger questioningly to her chin as her brown-haired friend repeatedly checked over her shoulder, as if on the lookout for somebody. Or something. All she knew was that something had spooked the Gravity user greatly, the frog-like girl worried something bad might happen to her or the group.
"There is someone in our class that I don't trust, someone that's got me greatly worried for everyone's safety." Ochaco quietly whispered to her friend, afraid they might be overheard, even from this great distance. "You have to promise me you won't tell anyone, ok, Tsu-chan?"
"I promise." Tsuyu nodded gravely as she gulped nervously, the weight of Ochaco's words greatly worrying her. "Who is it, kero?"
"It's To-GAH!" Before she had a chance to finish her sentence, the brown-haired girl was suddenly pulled underwater by an invisible force, which, no matter how much she struggled and flailed, she could not pull herself up from. Whatever it was, it was keeping her trapped here.
The once bright blue ocean was replaced with a murky blackness, the Gravity user unable to tell up from down as the darkness stretched out in all direction, Ochaco pressing her hands against her mouth as she tried to keep the oxygen from escaping.
Where was she? What happened? Was this Her doing? But how could she be doing this? Nobody in Class 1-A had a quirk that could do something like this.
The temperature in the water suddenly began to drop significantly, a deep chill running through her body as strange shapes began appearing at the corner of her vision, disappearing back into the darkness as soon as she turned to look at it. Her lungs started to burn, the round-cheeked girl unsure how much longer she would be able to hold out. She needed to get out fast.
A sudden shift in her surroundings caused Ochaco's eyes to widen in fear as she was suddenly surrounded by a sea of corpses, their pale lifeless eyes staring into nothing, their rotting and decaying skin colored a sickly gray. The brown-haired girl had to suppress a scream, as to not lose any oxygen, when she caught a glimpse of just whose bodies they were.
It was her classmates. Kirishima, Jiro, Aoyama, all of them floating lifelessly within the ocean deep. Tears of began leaking from the corner of her eyes, the unimaginable horror of what she was seeing surrounding her, everywhere she turned, there was just more death.
"Stay out of my business." A deep rumbling voice invaded her brain, dark and threatening, the pressure threatening to split her head in half. Ochaco grabbed her pounding head as it throbbed in agony, her eyes clenched shut in pain as she tried to shake the horrible visions from her mind. "And stay the hell away from Izuku!"
With those words, whatever force was holding her hostage released its hold on her, Ochaco swiftly swimming to the water's surface, her limbs screaming in protest as she forced them to work harder than they ever had. Her chest felt like it was going to explode, the burning in her lungs intensifying, Ochaco desperately reaching out toward the sun shining through the water as her vision began to darken.
"BWAH!" Breaking through the surface of the water, Ochaco immediately began sucking in a lungful after lungful of air, her body screaming in sheer relief as the sun shone down upon her chilled body.
"Ochaco-chan! Are you ok?!" Turning to her green-haired friend, brown eyes wide-eyed and full of fear, Ochaco quickly turned toward where the rest of the class was still playing with the inflatable beach ball, her gaze zeroing in on the blonde girl.
Toga was smiling wide, her eyes closed with joy as she smacked the ball toward Todoroki, a round of giggles rolling out of her chest when the ball awkwardly bumped off of the stoic boy's head. The blonde girl was not even looking her way, too preoccupied with her game to be aware of anything else going on around her. The distance between her and Ochaco was also too great for her to have possibly done anything to her.
And yet, despite all the evidence pointing to the contrary, Ochaco still had a feeling she was responsible for what just happened to her.
"I'm fine, Tsu-chan. Just a leg cramp." Turning to her frog-like friend, Ochaco tried to give her what she felt was a reassuring smile, strained as it may be. Ochaco couldn't tell Tsuyu about her suspicions, not anymore. There was no way she was going to drag any of her friends into this mess. But, what could she possibly do now?
"Aaaaaa, it's so juicy!" Biting down ferociously upon the skewered meat, little bits of blood rolling down the corner of her mouth as she bit into the rare cooked meat, Toga squealed in joy, her cheeks puffed out happily as she chewed on the delectable piece of beef.
"Is the love for blood a part of your quirk, Toga?" Kirishima asked curiously as he ripped into his own skewer, his sharp teeth tearing easily through the well-done piece of meat.
"Mmm, yep. I've craved it ever since I was a child." Going to take another bite, Toga was disappointed to find she had finished off her last bite earlier, a small pout forming on her lips as she dropped the stick onto her plate with a loud clatter.
"Here, Toga-chan. I'll get us some more." Golden eyes sparkled with joy as Izuku stood up from his seat, grabbing her plate as he went, Toga raised her arms into the air as she happily cheered at how awesome her Izu-kun was, the embarrassed boy chuckling lightly as he went to grab more food from the makeshift barbecue pit.
After exhausting most of the day in the ocean, the sun finally beginning to set, casting an orange glow over the formally blue ocean, the class found themselves desperately craving something to eat. Luckily, some of the boys had thought ahead as they procured an assortment of food and drinks from their coolers, the only thing they needed was something to cook it on.
To their immense joy, the hotel was able to provide them with a space that had a row of picnic tables as well as a barbecue pit, the class allowed to use it as long as they properly cleaned up afterward. Iida vowed, rather strongly, that they would leave nary a spot of dust behind.
He and Toga had ended up at a table with Momo, Jiro, Todoroki, and Kirishima, the blonde god happily chatting with them, her earlier apprehension completely forgotten as she joked with the purple-haired rocker, causing Kirishima to almost choke on his food from laughter.
Izuku smiled at how joyful and carefree Toga seemed as she laughed uproariously with Jiro as Momo tried to dislodge the piece of meat from the hardening hero's throat. Todoroki simply continued to quietly eat his Soba(the cold type), the barest hint of a smile on the two-toned boy's lips at his classmate's wacky antics.
Placing a couple of skewers on his and Toga's plate, making sure to grab some rare cooked ones for the godlike schoolgirl, Izuku wondered how different things might have been for her had she never been led to a life of crime and villainy. Would she have gone to U.A., wanted to become a hero. Maybe she didn't even want to be that, perhaps all she wanted was to live a carefree life, free of strife and worry.
Turning to return back to his table, Toga waving excitedly at him as she leaned comfortably against Jiro's side, the rocked poking her repeatedly in the face with her earphone jacks to try and get her to move, Izuku wondered what had happened to shape her to what she was today. What events had led her down that dark path.
Maybe, someday soon, he would ask her. For now, as he sat here next to her, with her beaming smile directed toward him, he was just going to let her be happy.
The class partied and talked well into the night, darkness slowly enveloping the resort as the stars began twinkling above, the light from the hotel the only thing illuminating them as they enjoyed each other's company.
Only Ochaco remained silent throughout the festivities, her mind full of worry and concern for her classmates, the brown-haired girl casting wary glances toward Toga until Iida declared it was time to clean up and get ready for bed.
Their beach vacation was slowly coming to an end.
"Aaaaaah, nothing beats a nice open-air bath." Tooru sighed happily, her floating yukata mixed in with the rest of her female classmates as they exited their side of the baths, each of them with a relaxed smile on their faces, the longer-haired girls wringing out the last droplets of water with the towels draped across their shoulders.
"Hey, girls! Enjoy your bath?" Kaminari called out with a cheeky grin as him and the rest of the boys made their way out of their side, each one of them donning the same complementary blue yukata the hotel provided.
"You know it!" Mina cheered as she shot some finger guns at the boys, the group mixing together as they made their way to the elevators, all of them separating evenly into the three cars, shouting out last second 'good-nights' before the doors closed with a cheerful ding.
One by one the elevator car emptied as people got off on their floors, until only Toga and Izuku remained, the pair riding up to their floor in comfortable silence, the soothing feeling of the hot bath having calmed everyone's nerves after the eventful day of fun and play.
Padding down the empty hallway, their sandal-clad feet tapping softly against the carpeted floor, Toga procured the room key from her sleeve before unlocking their room door, gesturing for Izuku to enter with a gentlemanly bow. Chuckling at Toga's silly action, Izuku entered the darkened room, flicking the light-switch on as he went, a feeling of dread coursing through his veins when he remembered just what caused him to faint earlier in the day.
The single, king-sized bed he and Toga would have to share.
Walking to stand by his side, a predatory glint in her golden eyes, Toga gave the nervous boy a sly smile. Izuku began sweating profusely, and it was not from the hot bath he just took.
"Umm, you can use the bed. I'll just take the couch."
Chuckling nervously, Izuku began to turn away from the offending bed, prepared to spend the night on the very stiff looking couch, when his wrist was suddenly grabbed in a vice-like grip. Turning around slowly, nervous sweat rolling down his back, Izuku stared into Toga's smiling face.
Toga did not say a single word, she simply pulled the young hero gently with her as she flopped onto the wonderfully soft mattress, Izuku landing next to her as he was dragged down by the godlike girl.
Throwing the blanket over top the both of them, its velvety softness encasing them in a warm cocoon, Toga snuggled herself into his chest, making little content noises as she wrapped her arms around his torso. Holding him close, a peaceful smile crawling across her lips, the godlike schoolgirl slowly let her golden eyes slip closed, Toga drifting off into the best sleep she ever had.
Several hours passed since then, the green-haired boy still lying wide awake as he stared at the peaceful sleeping face of the godlike girl beside him, the moonlight shining through the window illuminating her skin in a heavenly glow. Soft, little breaths passed from between her slightly parted lips, the girl completely at peace as she slept soundly.
As he lay there, his emerald eyes fixated upon her serene face, Izuku couldn't help but admire just how beautiful Toga was.
A/N: There are just so many things you can do at the beach!
Bit a fluff and fun(maybe not for Ochaco) this chapter as everyone enjoys their impromptu vacation, but that doesn't mean I couldn't throw a little character and relationship development in there.
Toga finally opens up more to others besides Izuku, as our little cinnamon roll grows closer to the godly blonde. Ochaco as well has her suspicions grow as Toga gets a little more proactive at keeping her away from her beloved. Where will this all lead? Only I know and eventually you all will to!
We have one more chapter of fun for everyone before it's back to school. Hope you all look forward to it!
I just can't thank you all so much for your support, it truly makes me happy to see so many people read and enjoy my story. I love you all very much and I hope you all have a wonderful day!
