First day back in class and Midoriya had almost fallen asleep due to the fatigue that came with healing his injuries. Recovery Girl had told him to stay in bed at least one more day but Midoriya didn't want to miss one of the final days before the summer vacation in case something important would be discussed. Turns out something important did get discussed and while Midoriya thanked himself for being stubborn and going to class, he also wished he would have been able to pay better attention while Aizawa explained everything about the summer camp.
Midoriya left the class after everyone else except for Kirishima who seemed to be busy writing something, mainly because he hadn't even realized it was time to leave until the bell rang, waking him up fully. As he stepped out of the classroom and got himself ready for the walk home he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around and came face to face with Kendo.
"What are you doing up already? I thought Recovery Girl told you to stay in bed for at least one more day." She asked, concern written on her face.
"I didn't want to miss anything." Midoriya answered, sounding more tired than he wanted to.
Kendo smiled although she still looked concerned. "I guess I could have expected that from you. It's good that I bumped into you though, I wanted to ask you something."
Midoriya made a questioning noise and motioned for her to go on.
"My parents gave me two tickets for the amusement park, I was wondering if you wanted to come with me tomorrow after classes?" She asked, smiling at him as she fiddled with her hair awaiting his answer.
Midoriya pushed his fatigue aside for a moment to react with as much enthusiasm as he could muster. "Sounds fun, I'll gladly come with you."
"Great, let's get you home now so you can get some rest before tomorrow." Kendo said, motioning towards the front door of the school.
"Are you sure we shouldn't do some training?" Midoriya asked, barely suppressing a yawn.
Kendo gave him a soft smack on the head. "Like I'm letting you train while you're obviously dead tired and probably still a bit sore."
Now that she mentioned it, Midoriya did feel his legs hurt a bit from standing on them for too long, as well as his back. "You don't have to take me home, I'll get there myself."
Kendo gave him another smack on the head, this time a little bit harder. "It wasn't an offer. It was a statement. I'm taking you home."
Midoriya just nodded and mouthed a soft thank you as they walked out of the door together.
When the two of them were fully out of the door, almost immediately both Kirishima and Tetsutetsu walked out of their classrooms. "Did you manage to slip Midoriya's notebook into her bag?" Kirishima asked.
"Of course I did man, what do you take me for?" Tetsutetsu answered punching his friend's shoulder. "Did you manage to slip Kendo's notebook into his bag though?"
"Midoriya was so tired I could have grabbed something from his hands and he still wouldn't have noticed." Kirishima answered punching his friend's shoulder the exact same way he had punched his.
"So what do we do now?" Tetsutetsu asked as he started walking towards the exit.
"Now we wait." Kirishima answered as he followed his friend towards the door. "It shouldn't take them more than a day to find out, they use those notebooks every free second of the day." He flashed his friend a big shit eating grin.
For a while, Kendo and Midoriya walked in silence at an absolute snail's pace. When they were about halfway to his house Midoriya called for a pause and let himself fall down on the small bench next to the pavement.
Kendo looked at him with concern. "Are you alright?"
"I'm just tired and a bit sore that's all." He said, flashing her a weak smile that did the exact opposite of convincing her of him being alright.
"Put your hand around my shoulder, you can lean on me." She said, extending her hand to help him up.
He took her hand and pulled himself up. "You don't have to let me lean on you, I can walk myself." A part of him really wanted to lean on Kendo but the other part of him wanted to convince her he was fine and able to walk himself.
Kendo sighed. "Once again, it wasn't an offer." She grabbed his arm and put it around her shoulder, letting him put his weight on her. She noticed his arm felt nice around her shoulder but pushed the thought away as she focused on getting him home. When they got to Midoriya's house she allowed him to take his arm off her shoulder and search around in his bag for his keys. When he found his keys he clumsily managed to open the door and looked back at Kendo, giving her the biggest smile he could manage. "Thanks for getting me home in one piece."
Kendo smiled at him. "Don't mention it." She waved at him. "I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"I'll meet up with you in front of the amusement park." He said, flashing her a weak thumbs up before waving at her and heading inside.
When the door closed behind him he stumbled to his room, collapsing onto his bed and immediately falling asleep with a small smile on his face as he thought about the trip to the amusement park with Kendo tomorrow.
When Kendo got home she went up to her room to do her homework, mainly to make sure she wouldn't go into the summer vacation with unfinished work. It took her a good 2 hours to finish up the homework. Not because it was hard, in fact, she didn't even have to think about most questions for more than a minute, but because of the enormous amount they had been given before summer camp.
When she finished the last subject she snapped the book shut and grabbed her notebook from her bag as she pushed her chair away from the desk with her feet. She opened the notebook while staring out of the window at an interesting looking bird on her neighbour's roof and didn't focus on it until the bird decided it had something better to do than sitting around on the roof.
As she looked down at her notebook she was met with a drawing of herself, information about her written all around it and most importantly, her name in big letters on the top of the page, a small heart scribbled next to it. For a while she just stared at the page, specifically at the heart next to her name. Why is Midoriya's notebook in my bag? No, more importantly, why is there a heart next to my name?! Wait a second, where is my notebook?! She thought, her mind racing as she searched her whole bag for her notebook. She was about to put her bag upside down when she remembered Tetsutetsu's weird behaviour in class. If I'm right about this you are so dead Tetsutetsu. Even if it works out. She thought but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't wipe the grin off her face as she rushed out of her front door towards Midoriya's house.
Midoriya woke up to the sound of someone knocking on his bedroom door. He hopped out of bed noticing how much more strength it took him compared to normal. He stumbled over to his bedroom door and opened it, revealing a smiling Kendo.
He stumbled back a bit. "K-kendo? Why are you here?"
"I wanted to talk to you about something, can I come in?" She asked, nervously fiddling with something behind her back.
"Sure, what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked, tilting his head a little bit to the side.
Kendo took a big breath and pulled out the notebook from behind her back, holding it up for him to see while pointing at the heart next to her name. He took a second to realize what it was but when he did his eyes went wide. "H-how did you get my notebook? I-I'm sorry you had to see that." He stammered, trying to grab his notebook from her hands. "J-just ignore-" He started before being interrupted by Kendo gently pushing her lips onto his. When she pulled back both of them turned red from embarrassment but Kendo didn't let go of his arms. "I-I don't understand." Midoriya stammered. "You don't think it's weird I drew a heart next to your name?"
Kendo gave him a small smack on the head. "Of course I don't think it's weird! I like you as well dummy."
Midoriya was stunned for a little while before regaining his composure. "How did you get my notebook though and how did you get in here?"
"Your mom let me in and if I'm right you should look inside your bag." Kendo said, releasing her grip on him.
He shot her a questioning look but did what she asked anyway. It didn't take him long to find Kendo's notebook between his other books. "Remind me to kill Kirishima when I get the chance." He said, handing her her notebook.
Kendo laughed. "Only if you remind me to kill Tetsutetsu when I get the chance." She smiled at him. "I guess they were done with us two not admitting our feelings for each other." She quickly kissed him again.
"Does this mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Midoriya asked, regretting the question as soon as the words had left his mouth.
Kendo rolled her eyes. "No, I'm just kissing you because that's what friends do." She smiled. "Of course it does dummy."
Midoriya smiled as well. "Sorry, I'm just not used to this yet."
When Kendo left again it was pretty late and Midoriya felt even more tired than he had felt when he just got home, he didn't mind it as much anymore though. He felt his cheek as he remembered Kendo kissing it, wishing him a good night and got ready for sleep. Before actually going to sleep he quickly grabbed his phone and opened a certain chat.
Midoriya: Kirishima.
Midoriya: I hate you.
Midoriya: Thanks.
Kirishima: About damn time.
He rolled his eyes and was about to respond when his mother poked her head through the door. "Izuku?"
"Yes mom?" He responded, looking up at her.
"I told you." She said, a big grin on her face, before closing the door behind her.
So they are finally a couple! Was this a dorky way to make them a couple? Yes, but I feel like it fits these two. Next chapter will be their first date. If there is anything you want these two to do together let me know and as always let me know what you think.
