Nakagawa Ren pressed the sent button on her phone and pushed it the back pocket of her jeans. The frustration was quickly kicking in. Another message arrived from Nemuri informing that she was almost there. Ren pushed herself away from the wall and glanced at the bar entrance. The security guy stood in front of the door like a statue; his figure was large enough to close the whole door, and the black suit he wore looked like it was about to tear apart on the broad muscly back. Ren cringed internally as her glance fell upon the neon lights of the bar name. "Kill Your Idol" was the most ironic name for a bar whose clienteles were only Pro Heroes. She could not help but chuckle.

"I'm here," Nemuri's loud cheerful voice rang in her ears as her arms wrapped around Ren's neck in a death grip, which Nemuri referred to as hug.

"You are late." Ren stated, not even trying to hind the annoyance she felt.

"Only by thirteen minutes," she chirped dragging Ren to the entrance.

"Try thirty."

Nemuri winked at the bouncer and the mountain of flesh stepped aside. Ren let Nemuri drag her inside. Nemu stopped and looked around as if searching for someone.

"Let's sit down or something," Ren sighed walking to the bar when she felt another death grip on her arm. The next thing she knew, she was being dragged to one of the tables with three people already occupying it. "Nemu, I thought we were going to catch up." she hissed through her gritted teeth.

"Yeah, with some hot guys," Nemuri laughed loudly.

"Hot guys?" Ren rolled her eyes spotting who was at the table. "That's Present Mic, Eraserhead and," Ren blinked "is that Tensei Ida? Nemuri, this was supposed to be a girls night,"

"Hey," Present Mic jumped up from his seat greeting the two females. The retro glasses on his nose slid down allowing Ren to see him wink. "Is that the hot friend you were talking about?" he asked Nemuri, who took a seductive pose, pushing her ample chest in front. Ren saw the blonde's eyes narrow at the two watermelons in front of him. She could not blame him. The number of times she stared at Kayama's breasts came up to infinity.

"Everyone, meet Nakagawa Ren," Nemuri pushed Ren in front of her causing the girl to stumble. Ren braced herself hitting the table. Ren glared at her friend who laughed and smacked her back.

"You really are as beautiful as Nemuri said," Present Mic grabbed onto her hand and gave it a gentle peck.

"You are freaking her out." The monotone voice of the dark-haired man caused Ren to shudder. She looked at Eraserhead thinking he would a perfect addition to her research. When the introductions were over and Ren finally a seat between Nemuri and Tensei, she could barely wait for the drinks to arrive. Once again, Nemuri lied to her about meeting up to catch up. Since Ren broke up with her last boyfriend, Kayama never failed to try and set her up with someone. The worse was that Nemuri did not take no for an answer and Ren was too exhausted to fight her.

The waiter placed their drinks in front of them and Ren exhaled soundly as she took a sip of the double gin and tonic.

"So, what do you do Ren?" Tensei asked smiling shyly. Ren pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear and played with the straw.

"I'm a PhD student at MHA University," she replied with a small smile.

"Wow, that's amazing," the sincerity with which he said that made Ren think that Tensei genuinely thought so. The rumours about Tensei Ida being a "great, honest guy" were turning out to be true.

"HEY!" Nemuri threw her arm up in the air calling for the waiter. Her breasts bounced, making all the men in the bar turn their gazed to the girl. Even in the darkness of the bar Ren noticed the deep blush that covered Ida's cheeks. "Sambuca shots, ten, no, fifteen." Nemuri ordered going back to the conversation.

"Oh no," Ren groaned quickly rolling her eyes.

"What is it?" Ida asked worryingly. Ren gave him a suspicious look. "Have you ever gone drinking with Kayama?" she questioned.

"No, this is my first time."

"Well," Ren chuckled. "Make sure you keep hydrated."

"What do you mean?" the sincere confusion on his face her Ren throw her head back and laugh out loud. The poor guy stared at the laughing girl feeling even more confused and uncomfortable. The shots were placed on the table and Nemuri hurried to grab one.

"Come on girl, light it up." she said to Ren and poured the liquid into her mouth. Ren took out a lightly and swiftly set the liquid on fire. The three guys watched in away as the fire danced in Kayama's mouth. Nemuri closed her mouth and gulped the alcohol.

"Are…are you okay?" Tensei stuttered with his eyes wide open. Nemuri smiled sweetly and wrapped her arm around his shoulders.

"Ida, you are next,"

Ren managed to escape the drinking challenge, but the guys were not so lucky. On the third shot Aizawa rushed to the bathroom and Yamada grinned widely at Ren, who was smiling indulgently at the blonde man. Aizawa came back looking more dead than he did before drinking. The dark circles around his eyes looked darker and skin seemed paler. Ren pushed a glass of water to him and he accepted with a nod. Nemuri ordered another round when someone chuckled near their table. Ren turned her head. Her eyes widened slightly at the sight of the large man standing close. The Number One Hero, the Symbol of Peace himself was in front of her. The shock was quickly replaced with curiosity. It was the first time she saw All Might this close and he looked older than she expected. The smile lines framed his eyes and the sides of his mouth, making Ren wonder how much older than her he actually was.

"I see that the drinking commenced." His usual grin, which freaked Ren out every time she saw it on TV, was replaced with a gentle smile, which in her option suited him better. Ren tilted her head lightly studying All Might with interest. She contacted his agency countless times trying to book an appointment for her research, but every time she was rejected.

"You are late," Nemuri snapped shoving a shot of tequila into his hand. All Might grabbed a chair, Ida moved aside giving him space. It was then that he noticed someone he never met before. The black-haired girl was looking at him with eyes half opened and lips wrapped around a straw. The large man froze for a moment sinking in her features. She was young, surely younger than the rest. Her legs were wrapped in skinny black jeans. The girl crossed her legs and leaned on the table, giving him a better view of hear rear end. A shiny blouse fell freely off one of her shoulders, revealing a part of her tattoo. His gaze moved up her neck, without a single dangly jewellery then back to her face. Her lips spread into a smile, while she held onto the straw with her teeth. All Might felt a sudden heatwave wash over him from head to toe.

"Allow me to introduce Kayama's hot friend, Nakagawa Ren," Yamada introduced dramatically. Ren chuckled.

"Toshinori Yagi," his voice sounded deeper than usual. Her small hand disappeared in his in a light handshake.

"Everybody knows the symbol of peace," she responded with a calm smile. It was an unusual thrill. This girl did not seem the slightly bit flustered. She was completely cool and relaxed, her movements seemed almost lazy.

"Oh, yes," Toshinori responded smiling wider. "Forgive my curiosity, are you also a hero, Nakagawa-san?"

"She's a PhD," Yamada interjected again before Ren could respond.

"What he said." she laughed lightly, and the sound of her voice made the hairs on his body stand up. "And it's Ren, just Ren,"

"Then please call me Toshinori," the waiter placed a drink in front of All Might. Ren watched the dim lights twinkling in the amber coloured liquid on the rocks. It was hypnotic. She turned away and took another sip from her drink. Toshinori's attention as drawn to the shiny objects in her ears. Four small ball closure earrings were harmonically decorating her right ear. He felt a strong urge to reach out and touch them. He looked around the table looking for a distraction. His strange attraction to the girl he just met bewildered him.

Kayama and Yamada were downing the next set of shots arguing who can last longer. Aizawa looked utterly bored, tired and on his way to being six feet under. He leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes. Ida sipped from the glass of water which he managed to order in between Nemuri's crazy requests. "Do you have a quirk Ren?" he asked smiling lightly.

"It's nothing special," she responded with a shrug. Ren never liked talking about her quirk. In her opinion, it was not something one could be proud of. Nobody liked a chameleon.

Toshinori's ears perked up. "I'm sure that's not true." Ida said reassuringly.

Ren smiled. "You are a good guy, Ida," she said patting his shoulder.

The dark haired main perked up. "You are good man too, Ren,"

"He is so gone," Ren chuckled and called a waiter. She whispered quietly into the man's ear. He nodded with a knowing smiled and hurried away from the table.

"So," he wanted to start a conversation, but he was unsure if the setting was appropriate. The sound of clicking glass, the smell of alcohol and soft jazz in the background set a certain mood.

"So," she responded.

"How do you know Kayama?" he asked awkwardly.

"MHA University, class of 20**," she responded. The waiter finally arrived with a tray full of cloudy shots. He bowed lightly and winked at Ren. She flicked her hair and winked back. Toshinori's body tensed at the sight. "Alright Mr Symbol of Peace," she suddenly said. "They," Ren nodded at the group, "have already boarded the train to the wonderland. Let's catch up, yeah?" and with that she pushed the tray closer to him and took the first glass.


When they decided to leave the bar and head to the club, Ida was completely gone. Aizawa pulled Ida's arm around his shoulders and helped him into the taxi. "Are you sure you don't want to stay?" Yamada tugged on his friend's sleeve like a kid.

"Yeah, I'm calling it a night," Aizawa yawned loudly and waved to the rest of the group. He pushed Ida a bit further in and got inside the cab. Ren watched the car quickly drive away and turn the corner. Her vision was slightly blurry, but mind stayed clear. It was her favourite stage of drinking. When you are tipsy but not drunk yet boozed enough to be in a state of nirvana. She lit one of the slims and took a drag. The tasty of nicotine and mint filled her mouth, making it salivate. She closed her eyes taking another drag when someone cleared their throat.

"That's bad for you," Toshinori's large frame filled her entire vision. The man was even bigger than the bouncer at the bar, but it did not feel intimidating. It could have been the alcohol or the fact that this man was the symbol of peace, she did not know, but Ren felt extremely comfortable. She took the last drag and put it out on the sole of her boot. Toshinori watched the small item disappear in her back pocket. His eyes widened in shock and confusion.

Ren ran her hand through her hair and shrugged. "I am painfully aware of the biodegradability of cigarette butts. I will recycle it later."

"Okay peeps," Nemuri wrapped her arms around Ren pressing her breasts to the girl's back. "Let's hit the club," she wiggled in her short dress making Yamada stare again.

"Last one in is buying drinks," Ren pushed her friend off and ran to the entrance, closely followed by Present Mic.

"Actually, I was going to head home," Toshinori said with a small smile. Nemuri furrowed her eyesbrows and grabbed his arms.

"Oh no, tonight I'm planning on having a blast and I won't be able to if Ren is there,"

All Might looked at her in confusion. "Let's just say she has a habit of wondering off every time we hit the club. I need you to look after her."

Toshinori looked at her uncertainly. "But…"

"You are coming." Nemuri stated dragging him to the club entrance where Hizashi and Ren already managed to pass through security.
