The pelting of rain and harsh winds woke Erity up out of a cold sweat. Here eyes darting to and fro until memories of what had happened mere hours ago had ridden to the surface.

Of her facing off against Bakugo and losing.

She put a hand to her face in shame. Why did this have to happen? Why did fate decide to pin her against the very person Erity looked up to, who she wanted so desperately to meet. The one she had fallen in love with.

Erity wasn't sure how that happened, but once she realized her feelings she was not going to fight them off.

She would tell him one day, maybe. When the timing was right. She wasn't expecting him to return the feeling. Erity just wanted Bakugo to know.

"Ah, your awake now are you?" A little old lady said from the corner. "Good. Mr. Aizawa wanted to see you the moment you woke up." She turned to leave bringing back with her a tired looking Eraserhead.

"Erity. I'm Mr. Aizawa, one of the teachers here at U.A., I came to see if you still wanted to attend classes here. And be placed into a dorm."

"But I lost." She said sadly.

"You showed great strength and determination in your fight." Aizawa said. "Though I can't say the same thing will be said from the rest of U.A. students."

"I'll stay…"

"Very well. I'll get the preparations in order, you'll have a dorm as soon as tomorrow. For now though, just lie there and get some rest."

Erity smiled, her eyes felt very heavy. She had finally made it to U.A.

Her dorm had not been ready the next day, or the day after. Recovery Girl let her leave the infirmary. "You should be fine now. Go ahead and explore the grounds. If you still don't have a bed by sundown then you can always come back."

Erity ran into Mr. Aizawa on the way out. Who then decided to give her the grand tour of the buildings. School was not in session so they wouldn't be disrupting anything but going over there.

"So tell me. If you were free to choose on your own. Which class would you like to attend the most? And which one would you wish to stay away from?"

"Who made me use up most of my power and lose the match?"

"That was Monoma from 1-B."

"1-B would be a no then. I will walk out of here if that happens. I want 1-A."

"Well welcome to 1-A then."

"Wait, really? I didn't think we got to pick."

"Normally you don't, but because you are the only one who decided to stay, it was decided that you got to make the call."

Erity's eyes widened. "If they walked then that means other people will come right?'

"Yeah." Erity grimaced. "Here, I'll show you the dorms now, and your room." As they got closer Erity saw a few students sitting outside.

"Iida." Aizawa spoke. "Tell the rest of 1-A to gather up."

"Of course." He dashed off like a rocket and was heard in the distance giving everyone directions. By the time they got inside everyone was standing there. Erity glanced at all the confused faces staring at her.

"What all this abo-" Bakugo said coming around the corner only to freeze in his tracks when he saw Erity standing there.

"Erity has chosen to stay and because of everyone else's departure she got first dibs on whatever class she wanted to go to. You guys were her top pick."

"She picked us?" Kaminari asked.

"That's cool I guess." Sero said.

"Is she going to attack us with more of her bodily fluids?"

"God Mineta, don't be gross." Jiro said, using her earphone hook against him.

"Yeah, I think I'm owed an apology for that disgusting display you call a power."

"Like your power's any different pink face." Bakugo said coming into the room more. "I'm surprised none of you are jumping for joy right now or throwing another one of your dumb parties. She's our classmate, not a freaking villian, so show her some respect or leave her the hell alone."

"Did I miss something? When did Bakugo start having a heart all of a sudden?" Asked Kaminari

"Yeah Bakugo what happened? Did your brain short circuit during your match together?"

"Shut it."

"Wasn't I supposed to have a room?" Erity asked.

"Thanks for reminding me." Aizawa said turning around and leading her upstairs.

"You are all such vermin. Vile disrespectful vermin!" Iida was hand milling around the others trying to create order amongst all the pent up emotion being stirred up in the room. "That's not how we should treat others."

"My classmates are…interesting." Erity said to Aizawa.

"That's one way to put it." Aizawa said. "Alright. Here is your room, and your key if you wish to lock it." They went back downstairs. " Common room, kitchen. That's about it. Welcome to UA."

Erity was at a loss for what to do. As her furnishings weren't here, she had no place to sleep really. She considered going back to the infirmary and asking if that was alright.

Loud noises in the distance caught her attention. She viewed alot of dust, smoke and fire.

"Bakugo seems like he's in one of his moods." Kirishima said coming into the room.

"That's him?"

"Yeah, he got permission from the teachers to make his own personal space out there for training purposes. Won't let anyone watch. Doesn't want distractions."

"I wouldn't want someone gawking at me either." In the end, Erity didn't want to walk all the way back. And decided to just sleep on the floor of her room.

In the middle of the night she decided sleep was not her friend, The breeze was cool and calm as Erity walked outside. Without realizing she came across a huge clearing void of anything but dirt and holes.

"Whoa."

"This is my space." She heard Bakugo say from behind her.

"I know. I just wanted a quick peek, wasn't trying to intrude or anything." She said walking straight past him

"I wasn't asking you to leave." He said. "Honestly I was hoping to catch you alone so we could talk."

"About what?"

"I want a rematch."

"You-?" She was confused. "But why? I lost."

"Like hell you did! I was barely able to win that match. If you hadn't used your quirk so pointlessly to douse everyone else you would have won hands down."

"...Are you saying you wanted to lose?"

"In order for me to become the number one hero I need my quirk to be strong! I need to be at my best! I can't achieve that with any of these morons." Bakugo had let his defenses down like he had with Deku during their second fight. " They aren't aiming for the top, they're happy with minimum strength! I need someone stronger than I am to get my quirk to it's full potential.

"It's gotta be me huh?" On the inside she was screaming with delight. "You got yourself a spar partner."

"What's your name again?"

"Erity Ryucchi."

"Katsuki Bakugo."

"...Ryucchi."

"Erity."

"I'll try and remember that."

"Like you do with everyone else?" She smirked. "I bet my nickname from you will be sweaty palms or some nonsense."

"Hey!" He pointed at her. "I only use names for the people I respect. So if I start calling you something else you better be worried about that."
