FEBRUARY ?

Silence.

Darkness.

That's all Mina could hear or see.

"Wh-what happened to me….?"

No response.

Just the echo of her voice in this realm of darkness.

"Hello…?"

Still nothing.

"..."

"Izuku…?"


JULY 30TH, 2045, 2:20 PM, 7 MONTHS BEFORE [REDACTED].

It was a bright and sunny day today, birds were chirping, the trees outside were gently shaking from the small gusts of wind that came by every now and then. It was a beautiful day to go outside, and socialize with your peers. However, Mina Ashido, the Acid quirk user, had other plans.

Mina was in her dorm room, laying in bed. She's been in her room for the whole day so far. And she was planning on staying there for the rest of the day. It was her birthday, and it was made clear that 1-A has completely forgotten.

Assholes… Mina thought to herself, gripping her bed sheets sheets out of anger, a growl growing in her throat, before it started to turn into a sob.

In the common room, everyone was following their usual routine, Izuku, Shoto, and Iida were having a conversation about the training they've been put through for the provisional license exams, Tooru and Ochako were gossiping about their classmates; and Fumikage was making a sandwich.

Then something hit him.

Like a bus.

"Uh….."

Fumikage's eyes went wide.

"Guys…"

The dorm went silent and turned their attention to Fumikage. "What is it Toko?" Tooru asked. Fumikage was shaking. Please don't let today be what I think it is… he thought to himself.

"W-w…what day is it…?" Fumikage asked the rest of 1-A timidly.

Everyone stared blankly at Fumikage.

I thought Tokoyami was supposed to be smart…? The group thought.

"YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" Bakugo shouted, "IT'S RACCOON EYES'S BIRTHDA-"

"..."

"Fuck."

Another 5 seconds of silence passed before the entirety of 1-A erupted into chaos.

"Ohmygodohmygod how could I FORGET?!" Momo exclaimed, pacing erratically. "You remember everyone else's birthday, why not Ashido-san's?! Stupid, stupid, STUPID!" She slaps her forehead constantly throughout the sentence, scolding herself.

Todoroki had frozen the seat beneath him out of pure terror, he's never experienced forgetting someone's birthday. "Hey Midoriya…?" Shoto says, not even turning to face him.

"Hmm? What's up Todoroki?" Izuku responds.

"What happens when you forget someone's birthday?" he asks, his hands shaking. "Especially Ashido's?"

"...I don't know…" Izuku says, answering the heterochromatic boy's question.

Shoto grips his upper thigh, bracing for whatever hell will ensue once Mina leaves her room.

Iida was doing his usual robot arms wave trying to bring the class to order, "Order! Order! We won't fix things by shouting!" He shouted, but of course, no one heard him. They were too busy shouting and throwing things around trying to make a makeshift gift for the resentful pink girl.

Izuku had enough, Iida was right, nothing will get done this way.

The One for All user stood up from his chair, and shouted.

"HEY!"

The entire class stopped and turned to look at Izuku, shocked to hear him be the one to capture their attention. Izuku was a bold person, overly sarcastic, a jokester and sometimes plain rude, but whenever it comes to getting the class's attention, it's usually either Iida or Aizawa. Most of the time it's the latter who gets the job done.

"Listen, we won't get shit done if we just run around like a bunch of headless chickens! Yeah, it's on us for forgetting Ashido's birthday for sure, but we can at least make her feel special!" Izuku shouted to his classmates. Ochako rolls her eyes at this, and lets out a slight sigh. Tooru notices this sudden out of character action made by Ochako.

What's been going on with Ochako lately? Whenever someone mentions Ashido she just gets into this mood... Tooru thinks to herself.

"But Deku, Pink bi- I MEAN, Ashido is such a cold and distant person, she doesn't even talk to anybody in 1-A or 1-B, she's only ever talked with Aizawa and most of the time it's little to no words. So what's the point of throwing her a party if she's just going to be the dismissive person she always is? It'd just be a waste of our time and effort," Ochako says coldly, not a hint of sympathy in her voice. "And besides, when was the last time she did anything for us on our birthdays?" Ochako hisses, her voice filled with resentment.

The class stood in silence, trying to process the mean words Ochako had just said about their own classmate. A few had opened their mouths to say something only to close it, she was right about how Mina acts towards everyone, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't do something for their birthday! "U-Uraraka! How could you say something so mean about Ashido?! She's as deserving of a birthday celebration as everyone else here!" Momo says, breaking the silence the class had held for so long.

Ochako scoffed and rolled her eyes again, clearly not giving a damn what Momo has to say, Ochako found the creation quirk user annoying as well, but she had no quarrel with Momo. "Whatever, you guys do whatever the hell you want, Tooru and I want no part of this." Ochako dismissively says, heading to the door. "Come on Tooru, we're getting out of here." Ochako turns back to say to Tooru, nodding her head towards the door.

"But Ochako-" Tooru started.

"We're going. NOW." Ochako said sternly, clearly not in the mood for arguing.

Ochako gathered her things before grabbing Tooru and pulling her to the door to leave the dorms, then Iida's sharp voice finally broke the curse of silence that the rest of the class was under and shouted,"Ochako! Come back here immediately and apologize for what you said about Ashido!" His words sharp as the Hero Killer's sword, completely disregarding that she was one of his closest friends in UA, other than Izuku. He wasn't advising her as a friend, he was ordering her as the class's president.

Iida shouted at Ochako some more, only for it to fall on deaf ears. A hand was then placed on his shoulder, which made Iida stop his shouting so he could turn around and see who the hand belonged to, once he did, he was met with Izuku shaking his head.

"There's no point in trying, we should just let her blow off some steam, it's clear that she's not in the mood to talk right now." Izuku advised, watching Ochako leave the dorms with Tooru in tow.

Once the two left, the entire class broke into murmurs and some shocked to have just witnessed the seemingly kind girl act so harsh about Mina.

"I thought Ochako was supposed to be nice." Fumikage said to Kyoka, it seems he had gone back to normal as if nothing had ever happened, and went back to making his sandwich.

"I thought so as well.. Wait, doesn't she have a crus-" Kyoka began, only to stop herself before she said too much, she was pretty sure Izuku knew subconsciously, but it would be best to avoid making him fully aware that Ochako is crushing on him.

The side conversations and whispers continued until Denki, with a puzzled face, asked probably the hardest question the class ever faced. Possibly harder than any of the questions on their first term finals.

"...What's with her and Ashido..?"

The entire class looked at him, all of them wishing they could provide an answer.

Izuku broke the silence with a chuckle, "Let's just like, not worry about that for now, I'm pretty sure we'll get an answer to that soon." he reassured the class, "Now come on guys, we have a party to plan!"

"And we've only got 30 minutes," Tsuyu croaked in, "Ashido usually ribbit wakes up at 3:00!" She frantically said advising the class how much time they have. In a heartbeat, the entirety of class 1-A, void Ochako and Tooru, got down to business to make this Mina's best birthday ever, despite her attitude towards them.


JULY 30TH, 2045, 2:30 PM, 7 MONTHS BEFORE [REDACTED].

Aizawa was having a quiet day, for once in his life, he's been working with the rest of the staff on the courses for the second term; and has finally gotten a break from all the work before the second term starts four weeks from tomorrow. Now he's just taking a nap on the couch, as expected of the tiresome teacher.

Aizawa was then jolted awake by a sudden crash followed by yelling.

"The fuck..?" Aizawa groans after getting up off of the couch. "What's going on?" Aizawa at first thought the dorms were under attack, but relaxed when he heard the sound of gifts being wrapped and Iida telling the class what to do for the "Party".

Wait.

Gift wrapping?

...Party..?

Oh no.

"Please don't let today be what I think it is..." He says looking at the ceiling as if he was talking to God himself, before reacher over for the planner on his coffee table, and flips through multiple pages until he gets to July. This folder has all of his important dates and of course, his students and colleagues' birthdays.

He flips through a few pages, searching for July 30th.

Then he sees it.

Fuck.

"..."

"...I really hope I have some Okra left over from the Staff party..."


A/N: So how's that for a first chapter eh? This is like, my first fanfic ever and I'm just starting to write and shit, so I wouldn't mind some tips. I'm not gonna really follow the canon (which is why this is taking place going into year 2). And I know this seems kind of on the short side, but I just wanted to establish this fic and stuff. Also this is an AU, if you couldn't tell somehow. I'm gonna have the next few chapters focus on each of the MCs of this fic, starting with Aizawa. Or should I say, Dadzawa? ;3

And a shoutout to my friend Hunter, without him this first chapter wouldn't be as amazing as it is right now. Seriously, when he sprinkled some of his "Magic" on this I was blown away, thank you so much man.

I'm so excited to be sharing this with you guys, I wanna make this fanfiction the best it can be, and I hope you guys can help along the way!

If you have a question, hmu on twitter! You can find me under the name BadGirlHazelnut!

Chapter 2 will drop in a few days.

EDIT: Fixed some inconsistencies in this chapter and chapter 2, UA is now a boarding school, and the story begins after the Hideout raid arc.
