I would just like to thank everyone for such a wonderful reception. Writing this story for all of you is a treat and I'm interested to see where it will all go from here. I'd love to see what all of you think and I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Midoriya's eyes slowly opened, being awoken by the soft strumming of a guitar.

Despite his vision being blurry at the moment, he stepped out of the bed, almost falling over since his legs were still feeling weak.

"Are you okay?" Jiro asked.

Jiro quickly stood up and helped him to keep his balance.

"Thanks, Jiro." Midoriya said, as he sighed with relief.

However, that relief was short lived as he realized what he had just said.

Midoriya slowly turned his gaze to the person helping him to stand.

"Jiro?" Midoriya questioned.

"Good morning." Jiro said, with a smirk.

Midoriya flinched as he let out a slight shriek of shock.

"Relax." Jiro said.

Jiro patted him on the shoulder to comfort him and as he looked at her, Midoriya began to recollect the memories of last night.

Midoriya bowed to her, effectively hiding the blush that was on his face.

"I am so sorry, Jiro!" Midoriya apologized.

"It's alright, just get up off of the floor." Jiro pleaded.

Midoriya complied, nervously looking around her room.

"Don't worry, no one knows that you're in here, they think that you went out for an early morning run." Jiro informed him.

Midoriya breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that the embarrassing scenario of being discovered in her room didn't play out.

"I should probably get back to my room." Midoriya said.

"Yeah, don't forget, we should meet up in a couple of hours." Jiro told him.

Midoriya looked at her in confusion for a moment before remembering his agreement with her.

"Sure thing." Midoriya said.

Midoriya carefully opened the door and looked around to see if the hallway was clear.

Seeing that no one was in sight, Midoriya set out for his room, leaving Jiro to get ready.

"Alright, I can finally get back down to the music shop." Jiro thought.

As Jiro started to get changed, an important detail crossed her mind.

"What am I going to teach him?!" Jiro thought.


Later.

Midoriya headed downstairs, already prepared for his day with Jiro.

"I still have about an hour, I may as well just try to relax if I can." Midoriya thought.

"Hey, Midoriya, where've you been, man?" Kirishima asked.

"Oh, I just… went out for a run." Midoriya lied.

"All night and morning?" Kaminari questioned.

Midoriya turned his glance towards Kaminari, starting to sweat a little as he heard the question.

"What do you mean?" Midoriya asked.

"You left your door open, we each took a look in there every once in awhile and you never showed up." Tsuyu told him.

Midoriya's eyes widened in horror at the revelation of his mistake.

"I'm not gonna make it out of this, am I?" Midoriya questioned.

"I got distracted and I guess I just lost track of time." Midoriya lied.

Some of his classmates believed him while others were skeptical.

"He's acting like Ochaco did after her exam, something definitely happened last night." Tsuyu thought.

"I know that look, that's the look of a man who's had an encounter with a woman!" Mineta mentally shouted.

"I hope that he's okay, he's been pushing himself a lot lately." Ochaco thought.

"There's romance in the air, I can feel it!" Mina thought.

Jiro soon joined the group, sitting with the rest of the girls and to Midoriya's relief, taking the focus off of him.

"So, Jiro, when are you going to perform again?" Hagakure asked.

"Not for awhile, as much as I loved being on that stage, it'll be a bit of time before I find that inspiration again." Jiro told her.

"Not to mention, I really want to focus on being a hero." Jiro added on.

Jiro rolled her eyes, as if to say that the answer was obvious, causing Midoriya to smile.

As the rest of the morning went on, Midoriya would glance over at Jiro, both anxious and excited.

"I'm glad she was so cool about what happened last night, I just hope she can help me to be just as levelheaded." Midoriya thought.

Unknown to him, his glances didn't go unnoticed.

"That's strange, I wonder why Midoriya seems so focused on Jiro this morning." Yaoyorozu thought.

Yaoyorozu turned to Jiro, thankful that she had recovered from last night.

"Jiro, do you still intend to leave the campus to go shopping?" Yaoyorozu asked.

"Yeah, I messaged them last night, I got approval to leave this morning." Jiro told her.

"I see, I must apologize again for not being able to join you." Yaoyorozu said.

"It's all good, I got Midoriya to join me." Jiro said.

The rest of the girls were taken aback by her statement.

"Midoriya?" They all asked, in unison.

"Yeah, I asked him last night before he left for his run." Jiro lied.

Jiro slightly smirked as she heard Midoriya's heart rate go back and forth in terms of speed.

"Okay, the first lesson to teach Midoriya will be to control his stress." Jiro thought.

"Still, I wouldn't expect you to choose him." Hagakure said.

"Yeah, I would've thought you would pick Kaminari, Shoji or even Tsuyu." Mina pointed out.

"I just thought the staff might feel better about it if I picked Midoriya and I kind of needed someone strong to carry everything." Jiro lied, while laughing a little as she finished her sentence.

Midoriya blushed a little at the mention of his strength, avoiding everyone's glances as he looked at the clock.

"Speaking of which, we should get going!" Midoriya shouted, in nervousness.

As Midoriya and Jiro headed out, the rest of the girls watched as they walked away.

"So, who else thinks that they're hiding something?" Mina asked.

Everyone immediately raised their hands.
