"Good morning." Izuku smiled at her classmates that were in the kitchen for breakfast, and Yaoyorozu and Ashido smiled back at her as they drank tea and had some toast and eggs. "Everyone doing good today?" She asked curiously as she looked over at Tokoyami, Kaminari and Sero at their table.
"Much better," Tokoyami said with a nod of his head, and both Sero and Kaminari grinned at her.
"This is was better! A bright Deku-chan greeting us with a smile is the best way to wake up for school!" Sero cried out excitedly and Izuku let out a laugh and grinned at them.
"It is much better to see you smiling instead of the funk you were in." Hagakure startled Izuku a bit as she noticed her uniform in the chair across from hers as she took her seat.
"Thanks, I'm really sorry for worrying everyone but..." Izuku looked at the mug of tea Yaoyorozu handed her, and grinned brightly. "I will do my best to make sure I don't do it again!"
"So bright!" Kaminari cried out with a laugh.
"Kirishima and Bakugou didn't come back last night." Ashido said with a thought and Izuku looked up at her, before she pulled her phone out. She checked her messages, to see that Katsuki had seen hers, but he hadn't replied... "They must have been working late, so they stayed. Ochachan said her and Tsutsu were also staying at their agency, but they'd be in class today."
"I wonder if something happened..." Izuku said worriedly as she flicked open her app for Hero News. She glanced at the headlines as she took a sip of her tea, before she saw the names Uravity and Froppy. She gasped, accidentally inhaling tea, before she set her mug down and coughed the liquid back out into the mug.
"IZUCHAN!" The girls cried out in surprise, and Izuku grabbed a napkin and coughed the rest of the liquid in her lungs into it.
"What did we say about drowning...?" Todoroki asked with a sigh as he came into the kitchen. Izuku looked up at him as she wiped her mouth, before looking back to her phone to read over what she could have sworn must have just been an illusion.
"H-Hero news..." She coughed out, as her eyes widened at the article she read. "HERO NEWS!" She stood up on the chair and looked at her phone intensely while the others watched her in shock. "THEY'RE ON THE HERO NEWS! LOOK!" She held out her phone to show the room the picture of Uraraka and Asui in their hero costumes. "THEY MADE IT ON THE HERO NEWS!"
"Whoa!" Kaminari stood up with Sero to get a better look. "Looks like they helped out with some guys that caused some trouble!"
"This is amazing!" Ashido cried out excitedly as she stood up with Hagakure to look. "Wow! Some guys with gigantification quirks! That must have been hard!"
"THIS IS SO AMAZING!" Izuku cried out happily as she grinned at the picture of her friends on her phone. "THEY DID IT! THEY DEBUTED AS HEROES! AND THEY LOOK SO COOL!" She squealed with delight and waved her phone around excitedly. She hopped off her chair and made a beeline for the door. "We gotta go greet them!" She cried out as the others scrambled to go after her.
"Slow down, the rest of us can't run that fast!" Hagakure called out as the others followed her to the door. She slipped her red shoes on, grinning brightly.
"We get that you're excited, but it's too early to run!" Kaminari called out, but she grabbed her bag and threw the door open, before taking off towards the school. The others almost fell out the door to chase after her, while Iida came out of the elevator.
"What's going on so early?" He asked in confusion as he watched the class disappear from sight.
"... It's just Izuchan," Yaoyorozu said with a bright smile, and Todoroki nodded his head. "We should make haste, so we're not left behind!" She clenched her fist, before she ran after the others.
"They're not here yet!" Izuku cried out as she slammed the door open to the class room, and looked behind her to frown. She paled a bit as she saw the others hadn't caught up and let out a laugh, before she walked inside to put her bag down. Soon the others came in, huffing to catch their breaths.
"You run too fast!" Ashido called out as she slumped into the room and sat down in her chair.
"Honestly... You must have suppressed too much energy for that funk you were in..." Sero sighed out as they entered the class room, and slumped over his own desk.
"ah, yeah a bit..." Izuku said with a smile as she walked towards the front of the room. She laughed lightheartedly as the others put their things down and caught their breath, before she looked at her feet. She felt a lot better after talking to All Might, that was for sure... But she was still a bit upset about the girl Eri that she couldn't help. She let out a small sigh as she thought about it, and frowned a bit.
"Hey, why the long face?" Izuku lifted her head up at the familiar voice, before she whipped around to look at the door. "We're back!" Uraraka grinned brightly as she posed with Asui.
"HERO NEWS!" Izuku shouted with a bright grin as she looked at her friends and pulled out her phone. "Ochachan ths is amazing! Tsutsu, you too! You were both on the hero news for your deeds yesterday, and you look so cute!" Izuku cried out happily and ran to her friends to throw her arms around them both. "SO AMAZING! YOU GUYS ARE SO COOL!"
"This is heaven..." Uraraka sighed out happily as her and Asui wrapped their arms around Izuku to return the hug. "Are you going to be my number one fan?"
"OF COURSE!" Izuku cried out and squeezed them both in a tight hug excitedly, before letting them go to show them the picture properly.
"I wonder how they took the picture," Asui said with a kero as she looked at the phone with Uraraka.
"I figured you would've aimed to be Bakubro's number one fan." Sero said with a laugh and Kaminari shook his head.
"Nah man, she's an All Might fan through and through," He pointed over at Izuku's back pack and she blushed.
"I'm everyone's fan." she said as she looked at the pictures of her friend's heroic escapade. "When you all get merch, I'll buy every last bit there is." She smiled brightly as she looked up at Uraraka and Froppy, but became startled as she saw tears in their eyes. "Wha... What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
"No!" Uraraka cried out as she threw her arms around Izuku. "You just made me the happiest bride in the world!"
"Whahaha!" Sero laughed loudly with Kaminari. "Heart of gold, this one! She's wasted on Bakubro!"
"Say that again," Izuku looked up from her intense hug she was getting from her friends, and smiled as she saw Kirishima and Katsuki walk in the door. Katsuki shot a glare over at the laughing pair of classmates, before he looked over at her with his bright red eyes. "Izu, you saw the news?"
"YEAH! LOOK!" Izuku cried out happily as she held up her phone to Kirishima and Katsuki, a bright grin still plastered on her face. "It's Ochachan and Tsutsu! Look! They made their debut yesterday! Isn't this amazing?!" She cried out happily and grinned up at the boys who looked down at her in shock.
"Whoa... Wow!" Kirishima laughed as he looked at the article, before looking over at Uraraka and Asui. "That's amazing you guys! You should be proud!"
"Thanks! We did our best!" Uraraka grinned brightly as she walked over and hooked an arm around Izuku's shoulders. "And I already have a number one fan to boot!"
"Yeah!" Izuku laughed happily and hugged her friend back. "We should have cake tonight to celebrate! This is amazing!"
"... You know, There's more-" Kirishima held up a finger, still grinning brightly, before he felt a fist connect with his shoulder. He looked over at Katsuki who was glaring at him, before he looked back at Izuku.
"There's more what...?" Izuku looked up at them both and Katsuki stepped around her to head to his desk. She looked over at him curiously, before looking back up at Kirishima.
"Moooore than just cake!" Kirishima laughed loudly and grinned at the three girls as Asui walked up. "We should play a game! We were gone all weekend, so we missed you guys!"
"Tch..." Katsuki grumbled out as he sat down in his desk. Izuku looked back over at him, wondering why he was glaring at his phone, before he glanced up at her. "How was your internship?"
"Ah," Izuku felt her smile fall, and she lowered her phone. Her thoughts pulled to Eri... To Nighteye and Mirio... She shook her head as she heard the silence in the room, and she started to panic. She had just said she wouldn't worry others again, and she felt her heart pick up in pace as she ground her teeth together. She looked into Katsuki's eyes and saw the worry there, before she thought about Eri's fear filled ones.
"Ah, they're back." She felt a cool hand on the top of her head, and she gripped her phone in her hand tightly. "How did it go?" she glanced up at Todoroki, seeing the calm look in his eyes, before she took a breath and grinned.
"It went... Well?" Uraraka said in confusion as she looked at Izuku. "Izuchan, are you-"
"My internship went well!" She forced a laugh out and smiled at Uraraka. "I'm just way more excited about your debut! I can't wait till I make mine!"
"I bet it'll be amazing." Asui said with a grin, and Izuku laughed a bit again, before looking at the article of her friends on her phone once more. That was right, she was in school now... She couldn't afford to let her mind get distracted like yesterday. She took a deep breath, and let it out before she looked up at Kirishima.
"How did your internship go?" She asked curiously and he grinned back at her. "You guys didn't tell us which hero agency you went with, it's been killing me you know." She frowned up at Kirishima, before looking over at Katsuki who was watching her with narrowed eyes.
"Fatgum Agency!" Kirishima grinned proudly, showing all his sharp teeth.
"FATGUM?!" Izuku cried out in shock and dropped her phone. Asui caught it with her tongue expertly, and Izuku felt her excitement buzz. She loved Fatgum, he always had a bright smile and his quirk of fat absorption was spectacular. "WHA... WHY WOULDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT?!" she looked over at Katsuki who clicked his tongue in anger and looked out the window.
"Haha, you weren't kidding," Kirishima laughed as he looked over at Katsuki too, but the boy continued to glare out the window. "Hey, Bakubro, Come on! We're back after a long weekend away!" He went over to his friend and Izuku watched worriedly as Kirishima patted his shoulder.
"Maybe he got home sick?" Todoroki asked and Katsuki snapped his head around and shot a dark glare at the boy in the back.
"Izuchan," Izuku looked over at Uraraka as Asui handed her back her phone, and frowned at her friend as she saw confusion in her eyes. "Are you okay, you uhm... Didn't..."
"I'm fine," Izuku waved a hand at her, laughing a bit again. "Everything's good."
"Hah, says you!" Kaminari called out from his desk and Izuku looked over at him. "You guys won't believe it, but it was like having a dark cloud in the classroom for a whole day!"
"Yeah yeah, like a zombie." Sero nodded his head in agreement.
"We sent you messages for help, but I guess you were too busy." Kaminari pointed at Kirishima who grinned nervously.
"What happened?" Uraraka asked in concern and Izuku looked down at her phone, seeing the All Might charm hanging off of it. "Do you need to talk? I can't believe I wasn't here for you in your time of need I-"
"It's alright, she sorted it out." Todoroki sighed out and looked over at Kaminari and Sero. "Don't worry them needlessly, they just got back from work."
"Izu," She turned her head to look over at Katsuki as he stood up from his chair, his eyes looking at her with concern. "What happened?" He demanded and Izuku swallowed the lump in her throat.
"It was just some work stuff, and then some personal things!" She laughed, before grinning at Uraraka, then over at Katsuki. "But Shouchan is right, I got it sorted out so everything's fine now!" She turned back to Uraraka and Asui, showing them some more photo's on the news, as the class started to pick up their own conversations.
"... Why didn't you let me say something...?" Kirishima asked as he leaned against Katsuki's desk, and saw the concerned look in his friend's eyes. "Hey, Bakubro." He waved a hand in front of his face, and frowned as Katsuki sat back down with a grunt.
"... She was excited about Round face and Frogger," He waved a hand to dismiss the worry, and glared up at Kirishima. "I'll let them have this one."
"But it's..." Kirishima looked over at the girls as they squealed with happiness while Yzoyorozu made phone charms for them. "... Our Debut too.." Kirishima muttered back out to Katsuki as he glared at the board. "Dude she'd be thrilled to see it, she probably just didn't look far-"
"I know she didn't." Ketsuki held up his phone to show the couple of articles below Uraraka's and Asui's. He shot a glare up at Kirishima. "And don't say anything to her either."
"... But maybe, she'd cheer up? If I saw that look..." Kirishima pointed over at Izuku who was putting the charms of her friends on her phone. "... the one from before... I'd be concerned..."
"I am," Katsuki growled out as he looked over at the girls. "Mind your own fucking relationship, moron."
"hah, what relationship?" Kirishima asked with a laugh and Katsuki glared up at him.
"URARAKA! ASUI!" Iida came in the class room, and looked at the girls. "Amazing debut! I heard this morning! But you shouldn't neglect your studies you know!"
"Ah, we know!" Uraraka laughed nervously as she looked away from her smart friends who looked over at her.
"I copied the notes from yesterday for you." Izuku said with a bright smile, "I had to get them off Momochan, but I made you all copies," she pointed at Asui, then over at Kirishima and Katsuki as well.
"AN ANGEL! YOUR HERO NAME SHOULD BE ANGEL!" Uraraka wailed out as she threw her arms around Izuku again.
"Look, I get that some of you debuted yesterday, but today is class time. So take a seat." Aizawa said as he entered the classroom, and everyone scrambled to their seats in a hurry. Izuku put her phone away in her desk, and smiled a the little charms on it now of a tiny Asui and tiny Uraraka. She pulled out her books, and looked up from her desk, only to be a bit startled by Katsuki glancing back at her with narrowed eyes again. As the lessons started, she began to feel a little bad. He had only just gotten back from being away, but she was gushing over the debut the others made. She frowned as she looked down at her books while she took notes, and tapped her pencil against the paper.
When lunch rolled around, she went to stand up and head to the cafeteria, but a hand grabbed her by her upper arm and she looked up at Katsuki's serious gaze.
"... I want to have lunch outside." He told her and she blinked in confusion, before nodding her head. She grabbed her wallet and phone out of her desk, and followed him out the door and down to the canteen to grab some food. "... Go outside, I'll be right there." He pointed to the courtyard and Izuku blushed a bit.
"Here, I have-" she went to pull some money out of her wallet, but he put his hand on it to stop her.
"I've got it, just go find a spot to eat. You can buy drinks later." She looked up at him, and nodded her head before she went outside. She wandered over to a tree with a bench underneath it, zipping up her wallet as she felt her cheeks get redder while she took a seat on the bench.
"... Hmm..." She looked down at her phone, and sighed as she opened it up absentmindedly. She smiled as she looked at the article of her friends again, before scrolling to the next one and reading it over. After she finished that, she scrolled to the next and read it over, before she saw familiar shoes in front of her and looked up. "Kacchan," She smiled warmly up at her boyfriend as he handed her a steaming bun and she took it from him as he sat down. "You know, you still haven't said how your internship is going," She grinned at him before she took a bite of her bun. "I figured you were busy because you didn't reply."
"It's going fine," He grumbled out as he took a bite of his own bun, and she saw the inside looked red hot. It had to be a spicy pork bun, and she giggled a bit, before looking up into his red eyes as he glanced over at her. "... What was with that look earlier...?" she watched him look away from her as he ate and she frowned a bit. "Somethings bothering you, and it must have to do with All Might if you just brush it off like that in front of the others."
"... Ah..." She looked down at her bun in her hands, and felt a smile cross her lips. "You know me too well, huh..." She took a small bite of the bun, and there was a silence between the both of them as she chewed. "It did have to do with him, but we talked it out." she looked up at the blue sky above them, and felt her smile sadden on her lips. "There's uhm... Some stuff going on... I guess I'm still a bit upset about it..."
"What is it, it's not like he's dying." Katsuki grumbled as he took another bite, before looking at her. Izuku lowered her head, and stared down at her bun in her hands, feeling them shake a bit. "... Izu...? Hey..." She looked up at him as he spoke in concern, and saw it evident in his eyes as he narrowed them at her. "... You're kidding... there's no way..."
"You're right." Izuku smiled up at him and looked back at her meal. "I won't let it happen, there's no way he can die." She took another bite before she heard a growl from his throat.
"What did I say about secrets like this?" She looked over at him worriedly as she saw anger cross his features. "That's some serious fucking shit, is this what you were so down about?"
"Well not just that," She said with a thought, and swore she heard an explosion as she saw his features snap into an angry scowl. "It's a bit of a story, Kacchan." She held up a hand as he clenched his bun in his hand, squishing it completely. "Y-You don't have to get so mad...!"
"You keep on carrying this shit around with you, I'm allowed to be fucking mad...!" He growled out in a low voice and she paled a bit as he looked back at his squished bun, and he grumbled as he tossed it in the trash next to him. "For fucks sake Izu, you're going to end up dying because of the crap on your mind."
"Well yeah, I almost did." She said flatly and he snapped his head back to glare at her in anger. She smiled a bit at him and waved a hand, "But I'm alright now, I talked it out with him. You see," she sighed out as she looked down at the bun in her hand. "Nighteye has a quirk called foresight... All Might told me about everything, and it helped me clear some things up in my head..." She split the bun in half and handed one half to him with a smile. "I found out Mirio-senpai was supposed to be the successor." She took a bite absentmindedly as he took the other half of the bun. "It kinda stressed me out... Nighteye doesn't think I'd make a good successor, let alone a hero."
"Tch, what does that asshole know?!" Katsuki growled in anger as he tore a bite off his half of the bun. She looked up at him as he glared darkly at the ground in front of him. "He hasn't seen shit, he has no fucking ground to say that too you."
"Well he does in a sense," Izuku looked back down at her meal. "I don't blame him for doubting me, I was starting to doubt myself. So I went to go talk to All Might about it, and that's when he told me what Nighteye said about his future." She looked up at him again, and smiled a bit. "After everything that happened with the Villain Alliance, I was a bit worried I couldn't handle being a hero myself, but he reminded me of some stuff." She reached out and put a hand on his knee that was bouncing up and down in anger. She watched his eyes snap to look at her, still glaring.
"So other than this asshole questioning your ability to be a hero," He growled out the words in anger at her as he narrowed his eyes again. "What fucking else is there, because there's no way that's all of it. You said you're not worried so there's definitely something else that's in the back of your mind."
"... It's about work," she said with a frown and looked away from him. "I shouldn't talk about it, it's an ongoing case, but what happened is still kinda bothering me." she let out a sigh as she took another bite, and chewed it for a long time as they sat in silence.
"... You'll save them." Katsuki broke the silence with a calm tone of voice, and she looked up at him in shock. "... That's whats bothering you right? If it was some villain who got away you wouldn't be torn up about it." He looked over at her, and she blushed a bit as she saw the calm in his eyes. "It's you, Izuku. The person who ran into danger when she thought she had no quirk... Got all beaten up for a kid... ran through a forest to save others while bleeding profusely, and even went into some kinda fucking war zone to help my ass." He looked away from her and at the last bite of the bun in his hand. "You'll save them, even if you break both your arms."
"... Thanks," Izuku smiled up at him warmly as he shoved the last bit of the bun into his mouth.
"Just try not to break both your arms." He grumbled out and Izuku giggled a bit to herself as she took another bite of her own bun half, and finished it off. "I'm serious, don't break anything this time." She looked back up at him and grinned. "Izu, I swear to fuck if you break anything again I'll-" She grabbed the front of his shirt, and pulled him towards her, to plant a soft kiss on his lips.
"I love you," She let go of his shirt after their kiss, and smiled up at him as she saw the shock in his eyes. "Thanks for worrying about me, but what about you!" She puffed up her cheeks into a pout as she sat back from him. "I want details on Fatgum! Like does he eat a lot, or is his form something like All Mights?!"
"Tch," Katsuki grumbled out as he looked down at her, while she looked down at her knee's in thought. He missed that look she got when she was excited about quirks, and he felt a grin tug at the corners of his mouth. "Look up," he pointed his finger up at the sky, and she looked at him, before looking up at the sky.
"Why, whats up-?!" She blushed a bright red as he leaned in and kissed her lips with his own warm kiss. She looked up at him as he sat back, and gave her that grin that made her heart pound. "K-Kacchan...!"
"You're too easy," He sighed out before he stood up, digging his hands into his pockets. "I'm going to go grab another bun, I'll see you back in the classroom."
"Alright," She felt her cheeks get hotter as he walked away, before she smiled and stood up. She walked back inside and headed up into their classroom. She smiled at the others as she entered, before she sat down in her desk. She stuck her wallet back inside of it, before she pulled her phone out again and opened it up to continue reading Hero News articles. She finished the last one she had left off on, before she got to the next. She skimmed the words with her eyes, before she felt them widen.
NEWCOMER SIDEKICKS RED RIOT AND EXPLOSION KING SMASH ONTO THE SCENE!
"What...?" She grabbed the phone with both of her hands and held it close to her face as she felt her eyes get even wider.
SHOULDERING THE LIVES OF CIVILIANS ON THEIR FIRST DAY, THEY TOOK DOWN THE TOUGH VILLAINS MANO-A-MANO WITH EXPLOSIVE FISTS AND HARDENED HEARTS!
"WHAT?!" She stood up from her chair, and it went crashing into Mineta's desk behind her, causing a domino effect as it crashed into the next, knocking the three seats over behind her. "WHAT WHAT WHAT?!" She whipped her head around to look at the startled faces of her classmates. "WHAT IS THIS?!" She held up her phone in Kirishima's direction.
"Oh, you finally read it." Kirishima said with a big toothy grin. "Yeah, we busted some villains last night, that's why we couldn't come back!"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?!" Izuku cried out as the class looked over at him. He grinne at them all nervously and rubbed the back of his head.
"THAT'S AWESOME!" Kaminari shouted and high fived his friend, while Sero took out his phone and read the article out loud for the class.
"That guy debuted too?!" Uraraka said in shock as she looked at the article over Izuku's shoulder. "Dang, I owe Tsutsu ice cream now."
"I didn't think he'd be likable." Asui said with a kero as she opened up her phone and started flicking through the news to see lots of articles about the boys from last night. Izuku read the one on her phone over, and scrolled through the pictures. She felt her breath catch in her throat as she saw Katsuki in action, and him grinning as he stood beside Kirishima.
"The fuck are you all looking at?" Katsuki asked as he walked into the room, throwing the door open with a bang as he held a bun in his hand. Izuku snapped her head up to look up at him with wide eyes, before she felt a truly happy grin spread across her face as she buzzed with excitement.
"Izuchan, your quirk...!" Yaoyorozu called out, but Izuku jumped towards her boyfriend with a bang, scattering more desks in her wake as she tackled him around the middle.
"WOW THIS IS AMAZING!" She cried out, as happy tears filled her eyes while they hit the ground. She hugged him tightly, as she felt her grin get bigger. "YOU LOOK SO COOL! YOU HAVE TO TELL ME HOW YOU DID IT! EVERY LAST DETAIL!" She sat up on his stomach and looked down at him. She laughed as she saw the shock on his face, "THIS IS SO GREAT! YOU NEED TO PHONE MITSUKI-SAN RIGHT AWAY! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FINALLY DID IT! Oooooh!" she buzzed with energy as she waved her fists around. "I can't believe you beat me to the punch too!" she punched the air and the class looked up at the ceiling worriedly as it cracked a bit. "But I'm so happy for you! I wonder if there are more pictures!"
"Hey calm down...!" Katsuki said with wide eyes as she continued to punch the air. "Izu!" He grabbed her fists and she looked down at him in confusion as her excitedly babbling continued. "You're going to destroy the class room."
"Ah..." she blushed a bright red as she looked down at him underneath her, before looking up at the ceiling, then back at the desks she knocked over. "Oh.. Oh my... Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" She cried in a panic as the others tried to pick up the furniture.
"Wow, I wish I got that kind of excitement!" Uraraka laughed out as she put her hands on her hips.
"I just.." Izuku felt her cheeks turn and even brighter red. "I'm so happy, this is amazing," she looked back down at Katsuki as he sat up, and looked at his second crushed bun for the day that he had clenched in his fist. "S-sorry, I... I got..."
"It's fine." He mumbled and she looked up at his face, and felt her whole body turn red and her heart pound as she saw a slight pink blush on his cheeks. "So I take it you read it."
"Wh-why didn't you say anything?" She asked him as she got off of him, and he stood up too. "This kind of thing should be the first thing you say!"
"Tch, I thought I'd let Round Face have the spotlight for a bit," He shot a look at Uraraka who crossed her arms. Izuku looked back at her, and saw her grinning, before she turned back to Katsuki who smirked.
"He's lying, he was hoping you read it before we got here!" Kirishima called out from the back, and Katsuki snapped his head to glare at him darkly. "Shoulda seen the proud ass grin on his face," Kirishima laughed before Katsuki blasted across the room towards the red head. "Dude, come on!" Kirishima cried out as he dove out of the way with a laugh, before scrambling to get up.
"Awesome..." Izuku felt her grin spread on her face again as she looked back down at her phone, and scrolled through the pictures that were taken. She saw a shot of Katsuki in action, and felt her cheeks turn a bright red again as she saw how serious he looked.
"Come Izuchan, you gotta help." Uraraka called out as she righted a desk and Izuku looked up and smiled.
"Yeah one second." She looked back down at her phone as she saved the picture, and put it as her phone background. She shoved the phone into her pocket before she helped the others pick up the mess she created.
