I can't believe the CULTURAL FESTIVAL IS CANON?!
WTF?!
I'M SO HAPPY?!
AAAAAAAH!
Of course it's not the one I'll write but..
CULTURAL FESTIVAL AAAAAAARC!
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS!
"Your hair is getting long.." Izuku turned her head to look behind herself at Uraraka who was busy playing with her hair. The girls were sitting on the sofa and Uraraka was sitting on the back of it, doing tiny little braids through out her curls.
"Yeah, I guess." Izuku said thoughtfully as she pulled at the locks around her face. "It grows fast and I haven't gotten it cut since we entered Yuuei." Izuku pulled at her hair, seeing it had definitely grew at least 6 inches.
"You could do so much with it," Ashido said with a grin as she played with Asui's long hair. The pink girl was busy making all kinds of bows on top of the other girls head.
"I kinda want to straighten it out, like what Best Jeanist did." Uraraka said with a bright grin and Izuku laughed a bit as she remembered her first internship.
"Do that, and I'll burn all your hair off." Katsuki growled out as he passed through the common room with Kirishima.
"What?! Why?!" Uraraka cried out in horror and glared at Katsuki.
"Dude, please don't do that," Kirishima said with a nervous grin to Katsuki.
"She looks better with curls," Katsuki grumbled out and glared back at Uraraka. The girls were shocked by his blunt statement and Izuku felt her cheeks turn a bright red. "So leave them alone and stop messing with her god damn hair."
"Defensive..." Yaoyorozu said with a nervous smile as the boys left and Izuku put her hands over her face to hide her embarrassment.
"Hey guys, what do you think of this?" Jirou asked as she entered the room with a guitar and everyone turned to look up at her as she sat down on a stool. Izuku watched with amazement as the girl started plucking away at it, and a smooth melody came out.
"Th-that's awesome!" Ashido said with a bright grin as she stood up.
"Do you have any words?" Asui asked curiously and Jirou blushed a bright pink.
"Denki is working on them," She looked away from everyone shyly and Yaoyorozu's grin got bigger.
"Denki is working on them?" Ashido teased and Jirou's face started to turn red as she continued to pluck at the guitar.
"Ah uhm," Izuku stood up as Uraraka let go of her hair. "The music is really good, you can dance too it." Izuku said with a bright smile, trying to save her friend from an embarrassing conversation. Jirou looked up at her with wide eyes, before snorting with laughter.
"Nice hair," She giggled out and Izuku touched her hair with her fingers curiously. The other girls giggled, and she felt tiny braids styled all over her head.
"O-Ochachan what did you do?" She asked as she pulled out her phone to look with the camera. Izuku felt her cheeks turn a fiery red as she saw the braids were styled to look like wolf ears, and her friend had even used ribbons to color the inside pink.
"I was having fun~" Uraraka said with a laugh and Izuku let out a sigh, before pocketing her phone.
"Anyways, Izuchan is right." Ashido grinned brightly as she stretched her arms out. "That music is totally danceable!" She started moving her feet around, and the others watched her do a back flip before spinning on the ground. She struck a pose and grinned at the others, wiggling her eyebrows at them. "Aw yeah, totally amazing!"
"What was that?" Hagakure snorted out in laughter and Izuku smiled at her friend.
"That was really cool, how'd you do that?" Izuku asked curiously and Ashido got up and wiggled her hands in front of her.
"It's kinda like how you fight!" She said as she started moving her feet again. Izuku watched with interest, before Uraraka got up and started doing the same.
"This is fun!" The brunette laughed out as Jirou continued to pluck away at her guitar, changing it to more of a hip hop tune. "Show me the flip!"
"It's kinda like how Izuchan get's ready to kick some one!" Ashido said as she bent at her knees, before flipping up in the air.
"Oh man, I dunno!" Uraraka laughed out as she tried to do the same, before landing flat on her back with a thunk. "Ouch, that hurts!"
"You need stronger leg muscles," Asui said with a Kero as she got up and started dancing too.
"Yeah, you have to bend more too." Izuku said with a smile as she helped Uraraka up onto her feet.
"Show us how it's done!" Ashido said with a bright grin and Izuku smiled nervously.
"I-I dunno, I tend to crack the floor when I do it," Izuku said with a small laugh and waved her hands around.
"It's alright, just don't use your quirk." Yaoyorozu smiled up at her from the couch and Izuku let out a sigh as she rubbed the back of her head.
"But I can't dance very well, I'll probably trip..." She said with a nervous smile.
"You use your legs all the time," Ashido told her as she pushed a sofa out of the way. "You always look like you're dancing when you fight, so come on." She grabbed Izuku by the hand and started showing her the steps slowly. "See? Not so hard!"
"Yeah I guess," Izuku smiled warmly as she continued to imitate Ashido. She let out a laugh as Uraraka and Asui joined in again while Jirou kept on playing the guitar.
"Here we go, show us what you've got!" Ashido said as she stepped into her flip. Izuku took a calming breath as she did the same, and kicked off the ground. She did her normal flips, and heard the others cry out in surprise, before she hit the ground on her back and knocked the wind out of herself.
"Oof..." Izuku groaned as she tried to breathe and it stung a bit.
"Are you alright?!" Uraraka asked her, but she could hear the others giggling as Izuku was helped up to her feet.
"That was awesome, you did like 3 before you hit the ground!" Ashido said with a small laugh as Izuku got up to her feet.
"Sorry, not used to doing it with out my quirk," Izuku laughed nervously as she straightened up.
"Oh no, your hair..." Uraraka pouted as she tried to fix the braids.
"What are you idiots doing?" Katsuki asked as him and Kirishima walked back though the common room. Kirishima was laughing and holding his stomach. "You'll hurt yourself if you do shit like that."
"We're practicing dancing!" Ashido said with a thumbs up and Kirishima wiped some tears from his eyes.
"Why, it's a cafe?" He said as he walked over with Katsuki.
"Because it's fun, and Jirou came up with some awesome music!" Hagakure said excitedly and Izuku laughed a bit.
"Tch, what's with this?" Katsuki pulled at the braids on her head and Urarka cried out in horror as the ears came undone. "I said stop messing with her hair!"
"You brute! It looked cute!" Uraraka cried out with a pout on her face.
"It's alright," Izuku waved her hand around at her friend as Kasuki undid he braids from her hair with his fingers. The others watched with stunned looks on their faces as Izuku combed her hair out with her fingers too. "I do need a haircut though..."
"yeah, you have split ends." Katsuki mumbled out as he quickly grabbed her hair in his hands and twisted it up into a bun for her. She pulled a hair tie around it to tie it up and she looked back at Katsuki with a smile.
"Thanks," She grinned at him and he grunted out at her, before Kirishima burst out laughing.
"When did you learn to help with hair?!" He cried out in laughter and Katsuki glared t him murderously. "Dude, that's so unlike you!"
"Shut the fuck up!" Katsuki snapped as he swiped his crackling hand at Kirishima who fell back onto the ground, laughing with Ashido.
"This is some kind of twilight zone!" Uraraka cried out, covering her mouth with her hand. "They've replaced Bakugou with an alien!"
"I said shut up!" Katsuki snapped loudly and Izuku laughed a bit again, before Kouda and Satou came into the common room.
"Midoriya, are you ready to start making the preparations?" Satou asked curiously as he held up his notebook.
"Yeah!" Izuku grinned brightly as the others continued to laugh. She followed the two larger boys into the kitchen while Katsuki growled in anger and ditched the laughing group in the common room. "We're going to make the candies for the decorations, right?"
"Yeah, I don't want to bake to far ahead, other wise nothing will be fresh." Satou said with a smile as they started to get some things out. "But we can also make the icing today too, and cover it up in the fridge."
"What are you going to do about the omelet rice...?" Kouda asked curiously as he watched. Izuku looked over at him as he held his bunny in his arms, and her eyes lit up with delight.
"Tch, we'll have to make them in the classroom on demand," Katsuki growled out in anger, "Other wise they'll taste like crap if we just reheat some."
"Bakugou is right, so we'll set up a station to make them with." Satou said with a smile as both him and Izuku started to make the stuff for the candy decorations. Izuku started playing with some orange candy to make small little pumpkins and smiled as she etched them with a tooth pick. "You're pretty good, Midoriya!"
"Thanks, but not as good as you." Izuku smiled as she looked over at Satou's candies that he was making. "Those ghosts are so cute!"
"Ah uhm... Are these bats okay..?" Kouda asked curiously as he played with the black candy. Izuku looked over to see him putting little smiles on them and grinned.
"So cute!" She cried out happily and Kouda blushed a little bit. She looked up at him and saw that he had put his bunny down. "Ah uhm... Where's Bun-bun?"
"Bun-bun?" Katsuki said with a snort and Izuku looked over at him. She blushed a bit as she saw Katsuki holding the small bunny with one arm and the other two looked over at him with wide eyes. "That's not it's real name is it?"
"N-No it's... It's Usachan." Kouda said worriedly as he watched Katsuki hold the bunny up.
"That's a stupid name too." He said with a grumble as the bunny looked at him with it's big eyes. "tch, you want a staring contest?" he glared at the bunny, but it's nose twitched before it put a paw on his forehead.
"Ah! S-sorry Bakugou!" Kouda cried out worriedly as Katsuki continued to glare at the bunny, before he set it down on his lap and patted it's head. The small group hurriedly looked away from him, stunned by how gentle he was being with the small animal.
"Ah uhm... So the pumpkin cakes are chocolate, right?" Izuku asked curiously and Satou nodded his head.
"Yeah, and the ghost ones are lemon... The Bat ones will be vanilla with strawberry filling." he pointed at the candies as they continue to work on them nervously, glancing at Katsuki every now and then to make sure the bunny was still alive.
"What even is this..." Kirishima snickered with Uraraka from the door way and they all looked up to see them. "Bakubro, you holding a bunny?"
"Piss off," Katsuki glared at the other couple darkly and Uraraka held up her phone and took a picture, "Cut that out! I'm tired of the fucking pictures!" he snapped loudly.
"he won't move..." Uraraka giggled out as she continued to take pictures and Katsuki was getting progressively angrier.
"Kouda, here." He lifted the bunny off his lap and handed it to the larger boy who took the bunny carefully. Katsuki turned his angry grin on the other two who realized they were doomed now and ran away. He let out a huff of anger and sat back down, before he pulled some candy over and began playing with it now.
"Heh..." Izuku smiled at him and he glanced up at her as he made a bat while Kouda went to go put his pet away. "I'll have to get that picture from Ochachan."
"Tch," Katsuki grumbled as he made a bat and Izuku giggled a bit as she continued to work on the pumpkins she was making.
"So is it alright if you and Kouda make the omelet's during the festival?" Satou asked curiously and Katsuki looked up at him.
"Well I'm not letting her do it, she'll hurt herself." He grumbled out and pointed a finger at Izuku who blushed a bit. "We can get Shitty hair and Round face to do some too, depending on the bullshit patrols."
"Thanks, Bakugou." Satou grinned brightly, "You've turned into such a good guy!" He put away his tray of ghost candies in the fridge.
"Tch, I've always been a good guy!" Katsuki snapped loudly and Satou laughed nervously.
"I'm going to go get the aprons from Yaoyorozu," Satou pointed out of the kitchen and Izuku nodded her to him before he left. She smiled and looked back at Katsuki who was glaring at the bats he made. She looked down and saw the ones he made had angry faces, and she giggled again.
"Those are cute," she told him as she continued with her pumpkins. "I'm excited to see your costume in full too, you'll look really handsome." she felt her cheeks grow warm and she heard him grunt. She looked up at him and saw a pink tinge to his cheeks.
"Are you having fun?" he asked her and she watched him look up at her. She smiled at him warmly and nodded her head. "Good," He lifted up one of the bats he was making and popped it into her mouth. She felt her cheeks catch a fiery red as he grinned at her with that smile that always made her heart pound.
"K-Kacchan, we need these." Izuku looked away from hurriedly as she chewed the candy quickly. She was surprised at how sweet it tasted. "We shouldn't waste them..."
"Then let me try the one in your mouth," Katsuki leaned across the counter and touched her chin with his fingers. She looked up at him, feeling her heart pounding loudly in her chest as he kissed her lips. She almost dropped the candies in her hand as his tongue touched hers, before he pulled away from her. She stood up straight and clapped her hand over her mouth as she looked at him, her whole face turning red as he licked his lips. "Pure sugar," He grinned at her and she looked away from him quickly.
"D-don't do stuff like that in the kitchen." She mumbled out to him as she put her candies on a tray. She put them in the fridge, and saw movement out of the corner of her eyes. She looked out the big window curiously, seeing a flash of blue.
"Whats wrong? It was just a kiss." Katsuki grumbled out as he finished up the bats and Izuku frowned a bit as she walked over to the window. "Izu?" she looked over at him as he put his bats in the fridge and Izuku scratched her cheek in confusion. "What? What's wrong?"
"Nothing I guess." She looked back at the window and frowned, wondering what it could have been. She paled a bit, wondering if it was possibly a ghost, before she felt his hands take hers. Izuku turned her head to look up at Katsuki as he narrowed his eyes at her with a serious look. "Kacchan...?"
"You look like you saw a ghost, are you alright?" He asked her and she paled even more.
"Please don't say that, I'm really hoping I didn't." She said with a nervous smile and he raised an eyebrow at her, before looking out the window. "I just saw something moving outside," She pointed a finger over at the window.
"I thought you were over that kinda stupid fear," Katsuki grumbled as he walked over to the window and looked outside. "I don't see anything,"
"It was probably a bird or something, sorry." Izuku said with a small laugh and he looked back at her. She smiled at him warmly, "I'm alright, I was being silly."
"don't make people worry needlessly." He grunted out to her before he walked back over and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Izuku blushed a bright red as he held her gently and felt his chin on top of her head. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his middle.
"I wonder how many nominations you got," Izuku said thoughtfully and lifted her head to look up at him with a smile.
"I don't give a shit about that," he grunted out and Izuku laughed a bit.
"That's too bad, I put one in for you." She told him as she squeezed him with her arms.
"I don't want some stupid Mr Yuuei award," He growled out and Izuku felt his arms coil around her tightly, "Unless the prize is you, I don't give two fucks." Izuku watched his grin turn into a hungry one and she felt her cheeks get hot again. "Now, how about we go upstairs? I seem to have caught the ghost and I want to make sure she's real."
"K-Kacchan!" Izuku felt her whole body turn a bright red as he kissed her cheek. "We still have stuff to make! A-And don't talk l-like that...!"
"Tch, don't stingy." Katsuki grumbled out and started to shower her cheeks with kisses. She felt her head spinning with heat. She was never able to fight him off when he was being overly sweet, and she gripped his shirt with her fingers. She looked away from him, before she saw movement out the window again and her eyes widened in surprise as she made eye contact with a pair of blue ones through the window.
"WHAAAAA!" Izuku cried out in horror and pointed a finger at the window. Katsuki snapped his head around in an instant, and glared angrily at the window. They both brought their fists up, ready to punch out the window when she saw the person run away.
"What's going on?!" Yaoyorozu called out as she entered the kitchen with Satou, Jirou and Ashido.
"There was someone outside!" Izuku cried out as she jumped up on the kitchen counter and threw the window open. The cool night fall air hit her arms and she saw several people running away together.
"That fucking business department!" Katsuki growled out in anger, "What's their fucking problem?! Didn't they get enough fucking pictures already?! HEY!"
"IZUCHAN?!" Izuku jumped out the open window and took off at a run after the business department. She was glad she was wearing her slippers that imitated Katsuki's boots, and it made running after the culprits easier. She saw the blue hair swinging around and she activated her quirk quickly, before she leaped at them. She wrapped her arms around the person she caught and they hit the ground rolling.
"Hiro!" Some one called out in surprise and Izuku quickly pinned them down, and looked down at the blue eyes that were watching her earlier. She saw the familiar grin from the other day smiling up at her.
"Well if it isn't Deku!" The blue haired girl laughed and Izuku let out a huff as she held their arm in the pin. "Fancy seeing you out here in your pyjama's!"
"I'm sure you guys got lots of pictures of us in our pyjama's!" Izuku said with a frown as she looked down at the... girl...? "hey..." Izuku paled a bit as she looked at the familiar blue hair and eyes, but something was different. She looked down at their chin, then at their flat chest. "Y-You're... A boy...?" she asked in confusion, remembering this person was a girl from the other day.
"yes and no!" The blue haired person laughed and wiggled their eyebrows up at Izuku who was utterly confused. She started to get nervous, wondering if she had gotten the wrong person. "Hey hey, show us that cute smile that you had in the kitchen," The boy said with a grin as he sat up and held up the camera in her face. Izuku leaned back out of his way, blushing a bit as he leaned closer. "I told you, you got lots of nominations, so you'll be a big seller!" He started taking pictures and Izuku scrambled to try and get away.
"HEY!" They both heard a loud explosion and Izuku looked up to see Katsuki land on the ground beside them, before he brought a crackling hand up towards the boys face. "Who the fuck do you think you are?!" He shouted in anger as the boy tossed his camera back to his comrades. Katsuki glared over at the group of business students who were watching him nervously.
"Wh-who are you actually...?" Izuku asked as she looked at the boy with blue hair. He grinned at her brightly and Izuku's eyes widened in realization. "... You... You are Hina... But..." she looked down at his flat chest, then back up at his eyes. "Is this...?"
"My quirk!" He said with a proud laugh, before he stood up. Izuku fell back, but he swooped and arm under her and steadied her to stand up.
"Let go of her!" Katsuki shouted at the boy, and grabbed Izuku by the arm. The two heroes looked up at the business student with blue hair, as he put his hands on his hips.
"Your quirk... Allows you to change gender?" Izuku asked curiously as she pointed a finger up at him.
"That's right!" The boy laughed, "When I'm a girl I go by Hina!" He rubbed a finger under his nose and there was a poof of blue smoke. Izuku looked at the girl from the other day with wide eyes as she grinned at them. "But when I'm a boy, I go by Hiro!"
"Tch, I don't give a shit who you are, STOP TAKING OUR FUCKING PICTURES!" Katsuki snapped loudly in anger. "You've crossed a fucking line here, and I'm going to fucking murder you!"
"Sorry, but I've got some gold on those cameras." Hina grinned at Katsuki's angry face and Izuku looked at her curiously. "I plan on putting them to good use, who knew that explosion King was just a puppy in love?" Hina laughed warmly and Izuku felt her cheeks turn a bright red.
"wh-what?" Izuku stepped forwards, "Th-that's not something you should be doing with out our permission!"
"Well I made a bet you see," Hina smiled at Izuku and reached her hand out to touch her cheek. Izuku looked at her curiously as the girl leaned in. "I've got money on some outcomes here, and I plan on getting what I'm owed." She rubbed her finger under her nose again and Izuku threw herself back as the boy version, Hiro, leaned over her now. "besides, pictures of his smiling face will sell a lot, and I'm sure you want him to win the Mr Yuuei contest too."
"I'M GUNNA FUCKING KILL YOU!" Katsuki roared in anger and pulled Izuku out of the way. He threw a crackling palm towards Hiro's face, but the boy dipped back out of the way, grinning as he dodged the attacks from the exploding teen.
"That's not very heroic." he waved a finger at Katsuki who was vibrating in anger now. "The whole point of the cultural festival is to showcase not only the Business Department, but the General Studies and Support ones as well. This festival is for us, to help ease off some stress and have some fun." Hiro grinned at them both, "The whole school treats the Heroic's department like idols, so we are more than willing to pander to that demand. You all need to stop thinking about yourselves, you're not the only Yuuei students here." He pointed a finger at Katsuki and Izuku. "I seem to recall it's Class 1-A's faults that we're living on campus now in a mandatory dorm system. So instead of being all crabby about having your picture taken, you see it as your duty and way to apologize to the rest of us by smiling." he held up his camera and grinned brightly.
"FUCK YOU, THAT'S A PRETTY EMPTY FUCKING ARGUMENT!" Katsuki shouted in anger, and Izuku frowned a bit. Hiro wasn't completely wrong... The Villain Alliance seemed to be pretty hell bent on messing with Yuuei, and specifically their class. She frowned as she looked at the ground, not having realized the trouble that the other departments had gone through with the mess that the heroics department created.
"Alright..." Izuku sighed out and Katsuki snapped his head around to look at her. "You can keep those pictures, but no more." She looked up at Hiro who was looking at her in surprise. "You have to ask us permission from now on,"
"Hey, don't give in to these shit heads!" Katsuki snapped angrily and Izuku touched his arm gently with her fingers.
"He's not wrong, Kacchan." Izuku smiled up at her boyfriend who looked royally ticked off now. She looked back at Hiro who was grinning brightly. "But seriously, you need to ask permission. No more taking pictures of us in the dorms or the locker rooms, or by surprise."
"Alright," Hiro sighed out and shrugged his shoulders. "I guess that's fair."
"It's more than fair, you asshole!" Katsuki pointed an angry finger at the boy.
"Who knew you were actually such a good person," Hiro said with a smile at Izuku who blushed a bit at his comment. "I may have a crush now," He rubbed his finger under his nose, and in another poof he changed back into Hina. "Okay, starting from now on, we'll ask permission."
"Thank you," Izuku nodded her head to the girl, and looked up at Katsuki who was glaring at her darkly. "Let's go," Izuku took his hand and lead him back towards the dorm building, away from the group of business students.
"I'm gunna fucking kill that fucking asshole." Katsuki growled out as they went back in the dorm building and everyone looked at them curiously as they entered.
"Are you okay? Did those business guys take weird pictures again?" Uraraka asked as she ran up to Izuku.
"Yeah, but now they have to ask for permission." Izuku said with a smile and the others looked at her curiously.
"I don't think that's the issue here, what they've been doing is beyond deplorable!" Iida said with a chop of his hand and Izuku let out a sigh.
"Well Hina... Hiro...?" Izuku frowned a bit on how she should address the student. "Made a good point... This festival is more for the other departments." Izuku looked at her classmates who watched her in confusion. "We have the sports festival to showcase what we're good at, to show the world that we're working to be heroes... This is for the other departments to show the world what they're studying here for." Izuku smiled at her friends, "In the Business Department's case, it's showcasing the hero students, and trying to make money off of promoting us. We're going to need them in the future if we want to be successful heroes."
"Midoriya is correct." Aoyama said with a bright smile. "It's their job to make sure we twinkle brilliantly in the spot light!"
"That is a good point..." Uraraka frowned as she put her hand son her hips.
"I never thought of t like that," Yaoyorozu said with her own frown.
"It's also a chance for them all to have fun... Hiro... Hina...?" Izuku let out a sigh, wondering what their last name was now. "Pointed out that the other departments have been under a lot of stress because of the whole mess of us living on campus, and Yuuei has been under a lot of fire since the Villain Alliance popped up." She looked at the others who were all looking down in disappointment. "So I think... We should do our best to make sure they all have fun." Izuku smiled brightly at the others.
"... You're far to kind for your own good!" Iida called out as he put a hand on Izuku's shoulder. She blushed a bright red and looked up at him in surprise. "I never thought about the kind of stress the other departments must be under to do well in these trying times!"
"Neither have I," Izuku sighed out as she crossed her arms. "And I feel kind of bad that we didn't realize it sooner... So let's make sure our school mates have a good time in our cafe, and during the festival!" Izuku said with a warm smile to the others again.
"Then we should put on a performance in the cafe!" Ashido said with a wave of her hand and looked to Jirou. "We can dance to your amazing new songs!"
"That's a great idea, Jirou came up with a lot!" Kaminari said with a grin and Jirou blushed a bright red at everyone suddenly praising her songs.
"Alright alright," She waved a hand nervously at them all.
"Maybe we should get the business department to take pictures of our costumes too?" Todoroki said from the side and everyone turned to look at him. "They obviously want pictures of us, so if they want good ones we might as well let the have pictures of the halloween costumes Yaoyorozu worked so hard on."
"That's a good idea!" Yaoyorozu said with a bright smile. "They can sell those too if they want!"
Izuku smiled as she watched everyone start to get hyped up about making the festival fun for the other departments now too, and Izuku heard a huff of anger behind her. She looked back at Katsuki who had a scowl on his face.
"Iida's right, you're too nice for your own fucking good." Katsuki grunted out to her, and she smiled a bit at him as he glanced down at her.
"Well, Hiro wasn't wrong..." Izuku said with a shrug of her shoulders. "Besides, I wouldn't mind some of the pictures of you smiling..."
"Tch," She looked up at him as he leaned over her and rested his forehead on her shoulder. "I don't want dumbass girls buying those... I'm not smiling for them."
"Ah..." Izuku felt her whole face heat up at the unexpectedly sweet words he spoke and she bit her lip. "I.. don't either but... We're heroes now... So it's unavoidable."
"Fine," He grumbled out angrily and lifted his head up to look at her. "But I'll fucking buy them out of your pictures, I don't need no assholes buying your pictures either."
"K-Kacchan," Izuku laughed a bit as he looked at her seriously. "What would you do with all those?"
"Burn them," He said bluntly and she raised an eyebrow at him. "I have the real thing, I don't need pictures."
"Stop, you're embarrassing..." Izuku mumbled out and he grinned at her before kissing her cheek.
The next day, Izuku was hurrying down the hall carrying an armful of table cloths. She had hung them up to get fresh air on the roof, and she smiled as she inhaled the scent from the black fabric. She skipped down the steps, and came to a stop in the hall as she saw a familiar face.
"Shinsou?" she asked curiously, and saw the boy turn his head around with a tired look on his face. He blinked in surprise as he looked at Izuku and she grinned. "hey, long time no see!"
"Midoriya," He turned to face her, and she saw him carrying a basket full of colorful balls. "This is different, why are you in this hall?"
"I was airing out these table cloths." Izuku smiled up at him, "What are you doing with those?" She looked down at the basket in his arms before she started following him down the hallway towards his classroom.
"We're doing a game room." He said with a sigh and Izuku looked up at him with interest. "Ball toss... balloon popping... Just stupid stuff."
"That sounds like fun," Izuku said with a bright grin as she followed him. "If I get a chance I'll stop by!"
"Aren't you heroics kids a little too busy for that?" He asked her with a raised eyebrow and Izuku blushed a bit.
"Well yeah, but I really want to see what everyone has been doing." Izuku hugged the cloths in her arms tightly. She looked back up at the quiet boy curiously as he walked silently, and she noticed he looked a lot bigger than when she saw him last. "Have you been working out...?" Izuku asked him out of the blue and he looked at her in surprise.
"Ah... Yeah I have." She watched him look away from her. "I plan on getting into the Heroics department sooner than later."
"That would be fun," Izuku said with a bright smile up at him. "You'd make an excellent hero, we could really use you in the department!"
"Hmm..." She watched him turn his head away from her and she looked down at the ground nervously, wondering if she said too much. "Saw your debut last month..." He muttered out and Izuku blushed a bit. "Did you really pick the name Deku...?"
"Ah, yeah... I did." Izuku laughed a bit and she looked up at him, seeing him snort with laughter. "I'm the Deku who never gives up!"
"I can see that." He laughed out and Izuku laughed with him as they rounded the corner.
"Uuuuugh, this is heavy...!" some one called out as they struggled to lift up a wooden sign.
"You guys are just putting that up now?" Shinsou asked and Izuku watched him talk to his classmates with interest.
"Well everyone's out gathering stuff, we don't-" The boy replied back, but the sign slipped from his hands. Izuku's eyes widened as she dropped the table cloths she was holding and she shot forwards in the blink of an eye and reached her hands out.
"Careful!" She cried out to the boys as she caught the wood with her one hand and held up the student from falling over.
"Whoa, thanks...!" Another one said with a smile as she let Shinsou's classmate stand up, before she lifted up her hands and pushed the sigh up by herself. "hey could you move it there...?" The boy asked and Izuku smiled at them.
"Yeah no problem." She picked it up with ease, using her regular strength quirk to move the sign by the door for them.
"Hey aren't you that girl from the top four at the sports festival?" One asked and Izuku looked up at them and nodded her head.
"Yeah I am, My names Midoriya," Izuku held her hand out to shake and they grinned and shook her hand.
"Yeah, you beat Shinsou at the festival!" One boy said and Shinsou let out a sigh.
"Well he was really close to beating me," Izuku said with a smile at the others, "His quirk is really powerful, I just lucked out."
"I wouldn't say that," Shinsou said bluntly and Izuku looked up at him in confusion. "You have a powerful quirk too, you won fair and square."
"Hey aren't you in the running for Miss Yuuei in our grade?" One of the students asked and Izuku blushed a bright red. "I was thinking about voting for you, but now I totally will!"
"Hey if I buy a picture, can you sign it for me?" The other boy asked, "I saw your debut and you're really cool!"
"Sure," Izuku smiled at them both nervously and Shinsou let out another sigh.
"don't you guys have something else to do?" He asked them and they panicked and dismissed themselves. Izuku picked up her table cloths and he turned to her. "Don't let those guys bother you, give them an inch and they'll take a mile."
"Well," Izuku looked over at Shinsou, and smiled brightly. "This festival is for you guys, so if they want an autograph, how can I say no?"
"... Comments like that will make people think they can take advantage of you." Shinsou said with a laugh at her and Izuku shrugged her shoulders. "You dating that explosive idiot now?"
"Ah, Kacchan?" Izuku blushed a bright red as she remembered Shinsou's comments from the sports festival. "Y-yeah, I am..."
"That's too bad, you deserve better." Shinsou grinned at her and Izuku felt her cheeks get warmer. "But good for you, I'll be sure to vote for you in the contest."
"Please don't, some one else deserves it!" Izuku cried out in embarrassment and he let out a laugh.
"Nah, I don't think anyone else worked as hard as you did to get it." He told her, before he went into his classroom. Izuku walked off down the hallway again, letting out a sigh.
"Can I use these?" Hiro slid out in front of her, and Izuku jumped in surprise as he grinned at her, and held up his camera. She looked at the screen curiously, and saw he had taken pictures of her helping Shinsou's classmates.
"... I uhm.." Izuku looked up at his smiling face, and blushed again. "Yeah, since you asked... Sure."
"This is great," Hiro grinned as he looked at his camera and Izuku smiled a bit before she looked forwards. "If I knew all I had to do was ask, I would have started doing that sooner."
"Well, it's common courtesy." Izuku said with a snort of laughter as they turned down the hallway. "By the way, Todoroki said if you want to sell pictures of us in our halloween costumes, you can come take pictures of them."
"REALLY?!" Izuku almost fell over as Hiro slid in front of her with a big grin on his face. "Are you serious?! Those would be a big hit during the festival!"
"Ah... Yeah we all agreed on it..." Izuku looked at him curiously as his grin got bigger. "Because... What you said was right, This festival is for you guys."
"You really have a good heart." Hiro grinned at her and she stepped back from him nervously. "No wonder so many people nominated you, even the other departments can see it."
"Uhm well.." she looked up at him with a nervous smile, "I do want to be a hero."
"I can see you being a really popular hero too," Hiro held up his camera to show her the picture of her helping with the sign again. "You didn't think twice about helping those guys out. Hey, in the future, let me be your PR department, alright?"
"... Sure." Izuku said with a smile at him and he pumped his fist excitedly.
"Alright! In on the ground floor!" He said excitedly and Izuku couldn't help but laugh at his excitement. "What ever Agency you go too, I'll follow!"
"Well, I plan on owning my own, so you can just be in charge of it's PR department." Izuku said with a shrug as she started walking down the hallway again.
"Are you serious?" He asked her and Izuku looked up at him curiously. "Already thinking that far ahead, that's pretty impressive."
"Well that's what you guys do," She said as she pointed a finger at him, "You all think ahead, like just now. It's not for sure I'll be a hero, let alone have my own agency." She shrugged her shoulders. "There's a lot of stuff that could happen between now and then, for all I know, I could die next week."
"... That's a pretty glum thing to say," Hiro said with a curious frown.
"But it's true," Izuku smiled up at him and he raised an eyebrow at her. "Being a hero is dangerous, our lives are always on the line... I recently lost a mentor because of our job." she looked away from Hiro and down the hallway. "Nothing is a guarantee in this world of super humans, so I've got to cherish the moment we live in as well as work towards my future. One day I want to be the new symbol of peace." She felt her grin spread across her face, "And I'll do everything I can to achieve that dream. I want to make sure this world is a place where everyone can smile and live in peace, regardless of their quirks."
"Dang..." Izuku heard a sniffle and she turned to look at Hiro who had turned back into Hina as she rubbed her nose to control her tears. "You... You really are something... That was beautiful."
"I'm sorry," Izuku frowned at Hina who rubbed her tears away quickly.
"I promise to follow you to the ends of the earth then," Hina grinned at her and Izuku blushed a bit as she leaned in close. "You're truly going to be something special one day, I can smell it."
"... That might be the fresh air on the table cloths..." Izuku said with a smile at her new friend.
"Nah, it's the future." Hinda grinned and grabbed Izuku by the cheeks with her hands. "You're gunna be a big ticket one day for sure!"
"What the heck is going on here?" Uraraka asked from the end of the hall and Izuku turned her head to look at her friend. "Get away from my Izuchan!"
"Ah, it's class A!" Hina grinned and held up her camera. "I'm here to take your pictures if that's okay!"
"You're right on time, we're trying out costumes on," Todoroki said simply as he carried some chairs into the room with Kirishima.
"Yeah, come on in!" Kirishima called out with a grin and Izuku watched Hina grin brightly and hold up her camera.
"By the way, what's your last name?" Izuku asked the blue haired girl, and she looked over at Izuku with a smile.
"I was wondering when you'd ask!" Hina grinned brightly, "It's Shimura!"
"That's a pretty name," Izuku said with a smile as they entered the classroom together. "It'll be easier to call you by Shimura too."
"Yeah I get that a lot." Hina said with a grin and Izuku looked up at the others in the room. She blushed a bright red as she saw Katsuki was wearing his werewolf costume in full with dark ripped pants, a white tattered shirt, and a green jacket with fur around the collar. She almost dropped her armfull of table clothes as she saw the tail attached to his pants, and the red collar around his neck.
"There you are, what took you so fucking long?" Katsuki growled out as he looked over at her and she felt her face turn red all over as she looked up at him. "What's wrong with you- YOU!" he pointed a finger at Hina who was grinned brightly as she held up the camera. "Were you fucking stalking her again?!"
"Nah, I just happened upon her as she was doing heroic deeds in the hallway." Hina said with a laugh as she rubbed under her nose. The class watched in surprise as she turned into her boy form, Hiro, and he grinned at them all. "I'm here to take pictures with permission!"
"Well, we're just getting the costumes on now to make sure they all fit properly." Yaoyorozu said with a smile. Izuku looked over at her, and saw her wearing a tight red floor length dress, and her hair was down.
"You went with the vampire?" Izuku asked with a smile as she saw the fangs in her friend's mouth.
"The witch costume didn't look right on me," Yaoyorozu sighed out. "Yours is behind the curtain," She pointed and took the table cloths from Izuku. She hurried off behind the curtain to change, and tried her best to cool her face off. She stepped out from behind the curtain after changing, and saw Uraraka wearing her witch costume and standing next to Kirishima who was wearing dark jeans and a red jacket with his wolf ears and tail. She laughed a bit as she saw he wasn't wearing a shirt underneath.
"You look like red riding hood gone wrong," Todoroki commented as he came out from behind the boys changing curtain wearing a regal looking vest over a long white sleeved shirt with black pants. He had a black cloak on around his shoulders, and the fangs on in his mouth.
"You should style your hair different!" Ashido called out as she came over wearing her devil costume. "Like this...!" She pulled out a comb and gel, and started slicking back Todoroki's hair. He looked a bit confused as the other girls watched with wide eyes.
"Dude, is there a bad look on you?" Kirishima asked curiously, and Izuku laughed a bit as she pulled her own hair into two braids.
"So hot! You'll attract all the girls!" Ashido said excitedly and Todoroki looked around in confusion.
"Yes, you'll definitely get a lot of votes!" Hiro leaned in with his camera, "Can I get you all to pose separately in front of the curtains?" He asked excitedly and Ashido started the lead, making silly faces for Hiro as he snapped pictures.
"Stop bringing back weird things with you." Katsuki grumbled out as he stood behind Izuku and watched the display as Kirishima went next, flexing his muscles.
"Well it's good he came when he did." Izuku said with a smile up at Katsuki who was glaring at Hiro. "Shimura is a pretty good photographer from what I've seen."
"I don't care," Katsuki grumbled out, and Izuku blushed as she stared at him. He looked down at her and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you all red...?"
"You... You just look really good..." Izuku looked at the ground in embarrassment, and she played with the hem of her ghost cloak. "I was surprised..."
"... Maybe I'll keep the outfit then." Katsuki leaned down and Izuku glanced at him, seeing him grinning at her. "You turn into a werewolf if you get bitten right...?" He asked her and Izuku felt her whole face turn red as he grabbed the hood of her cloak and leaned in closer to her. "Maybe I'll bite you, I wouldn't mind seeing wolf ears on you..."
"K-Kacchan...!" Izuku blushed a fiery red now and felt her head spin with heat. He chuckled before he placed a kiss on her cheek.
"too bad there isn't a best couple competition." Hiro said with a laugh and Izuku looked over at him curiously as he snapped a picture of both her and Katsuki. "You'd both win for sure."
"Delete that." Katsuki snapped at him angrily, and Hiro grinned before looking over at Izuku with a raised eyebrow.
"... I wouldn't mind seeing it first.." She said shyly and he lifted up the camera to show her. She smiled a bit, feeling her heart flutter as she saw the grin on Katsuki's face.
"You know, this guy got a lot of nominations too~" Hiro said out loud as Katsuki stood grumpily in front of the curtain to have his picture taken.
"What?!" Uraraka and Kaminari asked in surprise and pointed at Katsuki. "That guy?!"
"Yeah, lots of girls like the bad boy type!" Hiro grinned as he took pictures of the scowling Katsuki.
"I don't give a shit," Katsuki growled out in anger as he glared at Hiro. "Just hurry up with the damn pictures!"
"Then smile for at least one of them!" Hiro said with a laugh. Katsuki growled in anger once again, before he tried to smile. The class burst out laughing at the forced look on his face and he glared at them all.
"Kacchan, just relax." Izuku smiled at him hopefully and he let out a huff of anger.
"Yeah, think of your cute girlfriend," Hiro said with a smile from behind the camera and Izuku blushed a bright red. "You have the best smile when you're with her."
"fucking stalker!" Katsuki shouted at Hiro and Izuku let out a sigh.
"Just one smile?" Izuku asked him curiously and he looked at her, scowling.
"I have nothing to smile about right now," He grumbled angrily.
"Come on dude, we always see you smiling with her!" Kirishima called out and Uraraka snickered.
"I will kill all of you." Katsuki glared at the red head, and Izuku let out a sigh.
"Okay, fine," Hiro sighed out and Katsuki stormed away from the curtain to stand by the wall. "Midoriya, if you would?"
"Sure," Izuku smiled at Hiro and took her place in front of the curtain. He started snapping pictures and Izuku blushed a bit, feeling a little embarrassed to have her picture being taken.
"Izuchan, smile!" Uraraka cried out as she threw her hands up in the air. Izuku let out a laugh and smiled over at her friend.
"Show the dress under the cloak!" Yaoyorozu called out and Izuku blushed as she opened up the cloak. "The striped stockings look cute with it!"
"Th-this is embarrassing," Izuku said shyly and looked up at Hiro who was grinning brightly. "Do you have enough?"
"I want one with a big beautiful smile, like when you were helping out the general studies kids!" Hiro said with a grin and Izuku sighed a bit and looked over at Katsuki. She saw him watching her, and she gripped the hem of the cloak, before she smiled brightly at him. She watched his cheeks turn pink and she looked over at Hiro and he snapped a few pictures.
"Amazing," He held up the camera, and Uraraka slid in to take a look at them with Kirishima and Yaoyorozu. "This is a winner right here!"
"... I'll give you my life savings for the exclusive rights tot his pictures!" Uraraka shouted up at him and he let out a laugh.
"Sorry, but I feel like I might be able to retire off this one." He laughed out and Izuku felt her whole body turn red in embarrassment. "Speaking of..." Hiro turned his camera on Katsuki with a snap and took a picture quickly.
"hey!" Katsuki growled out and Hiro grinned as he showed the picture to the others proudly.
"This is why I do candid photos." He told them all and Izuku hurried over to see the picture of Katsuki grinning warmly.
