Tsuyu knew right away she was in a dream. For one thing, she clearly remembered being in Izuku's bed in his arms and not in a rainforest. Secondly, everything was red.

She reached up to her face and took off the item she was apparently wearing, which happened to be a pair of circular wire-framed glasses with red lenses. Looking down at her state of dress she saw that she was wearing a dress made of green and yellow leaves and that she was barefoot.

"Gero, this dream just started and already it's very strange," said the frog girl to herself. With a shrug, she put the glasses back on and hopped away in hopes of finding something that would make sense of this.

She hopped from tree to tree, taking in her surroundings. It wasn't until she heard a yelp that she stopped. Looking down from the branch that she was on she found that it was a boy in explorer gear that had tripped over a tree root. Her eyes widened when she saw that it wasn't just any boy though.

"Ow. I guess I wasn't looking where I was going," said the boy as he stood up, revealing himself to be Izuku.

"Midoriya-kun," gasped out Tsuyu as she took in his appearance. The way his shirt clung to his torso and showed off his muscles was very appealing.

The boy's eyes widened when he looked over at her. "Ah! It's you! I've been looking all over for you!"

"You have, gero?" asked Tsuyu, tilting her head slightly.

"Hai! I had heard stories of a wood nymph living in this rainforest and the village natives told me where I might be able to find you," explained Izuku. "Although, looking at you now, I don't really agree with how the natives described you."

"Oh…I see, gero," replied Tsuyu, feeling as if her heart was just crushed. It sounded like he was disappointed with her appearance. She really shouldn't have been surprised, she figured. Who could find a frog pretty?

It was then that Izuku gave her a smile. "You're actually way more beautiful than how the natives described."

Despite being cold-blooded, Tsuyu felt heat rise to her cheeks. Izuku thought she was beautiful? Even though she knew this was a dream, she really wished it wasn't. She blushed further when Izuku reached forward and gently cupped her face.

"Midoriya-kun…"

"You really are beautiful."

Her already large eyes widened when the boy leaned forward. She knew what was about to happen and wanted it. Too bad reality came a calling.

-:-

Tsuyu's eye fluttered open before she let out a soft groan when she realized that she was awake. She was having such a nice dream…strange, but nice. Midoriya-kun had called her beautiful and was about to kiss her. Never in her life had a boy been so romantic towards her. She was always the frog girl that others would rather avoid.

Glancing up at the sleeping boy, Tsuyu wondered what he really thought of her. Did he really think she was beautiful or was that just wishful thinking?

'Probably just wishful thinking, gero,' thought Tsuyu with a frown. 'But why do I want Midoriya-kun to say it so badly?'

She couldn't think about that any further as the alarm from Midoriya-kun's phone went off. With a moan, the boy reached over to grab his phone and turn off the alarm. Once the noise was gone, she watched as Midoriya-kun let out a brief yawn and rubbed his eyes.

"Good morning, Midoriya-kun, gero," said Tsuyu with a smile. She quickly got of the bed, knowing what was to come.

"Morning, Tsuyu," mumbled Izuku, still waking up. Once it finally hit his sleep-addled mind though, he was wide-awake. "Eh?!"

Tsuyu watched as Izuku scrambled out of sheets and pressed against the wall, looking at her with wide eyes and looking as if he was about to hyperventilate. While she didn't have the hearing capabilities that Jirou had, Tsuyu could have sworn she could hear Izuku's rapid heartbeat from where she stood.

"You need to calm down, Midoriya-kun, or else you might have a heart attack, gero."

"T-Tsuyu?! Wh-What are y-you doing in m-my r-room?!" squeaked out the green-haired boy. "Wh-Why were y-you in m-my b-bed?!"

"It was too cold in my room, gero," replied Tsuyu. It wasn't complete lie really. "And you're the only one who can keep me warm, gero."

Izuku blushed brightly at that and froze in place, which gave Tsuyu the opportunity to crawl back onto the bed and snuggle up next to him again.

"T-Tsuyu! Wh-What if the others c-catch you?" asked Izuku with a stutter, unsure how to deal with the girl so close to him. "Wh-What if Aizawa-sensei finds out?!"

"Gero, aside from Iida would the others even care? As for Aizawa-sensei, what he doesn't know won't hurt us."

Glancing towards the girl, who was currently laying her head on his shoulder, Izuku was becoming more and more confused. He remembered his little talk with All Might and was starting to wonder if maybe there really was something more to his friendship with Tsuyu. Shaking his head a bit to clear his mind, he decided to change the subject.

"T-Tsuyu, we should probably start getting ready for the day now."

"Gero, I suppose so," replied the girl, although she'd rather stay with Midoriya-kun.

"B-Besides, I was planning to get in an early morning jog before getting ready for class."

'Well that would explain why his alarm was set so early, gero,' thought Tsuyu before relenting. "Okay then, Midoriya-kun."

The two teens then got off the bed, with Izuku getting ready for his jog and Tsuyu leaving to sneak back into her room to change.

-:-

After showering and changing into her uniform, Tsuyu made her way into the kitchen and started making breakfast not only for herself, but for Izuku as well.

'He'll probably be hungry once he returns from his jog, gero,' thought Tsuyu as she continued cooking. So focused on her task, she didn't realize when she had company.

"Wow! That smells really good, Tsu!"

Tsuyu looked over to see a smiling Ochaco walk into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Ochaco. Did you sleep well, gero?"

"You bet! I'm all energized for the day!" exclaimed the Zero Gravity user, pumping her fists.

This caused a giggle to escape the frog girl, who was amused by her friend's enthusiasm. "Glad to hear that, gero."

The girls continued to converse, talking about this and that. It was only when Izuku reentered the dorm did their attention turn to him.

"Good morning, Deku!"

"Morning, Uraraka," replied Izuku with a smile.

"Breakfast will be done soon, Midoriya-kun, gero," stated Tsuyu, garnering Izuku and Ochaco's attention. "So by time you get cleaned up it should be ready, gero."

"Ah, o-okay, T-Tsuyu," stuttered out Izuku, blushing at the thought of a girl making him breakfast.

He quickly took his leave to hit the showers, leaving the girls alone. Once Izuku was gone, Ochaco turned to Tsuyu with a concerned look.

"You're making Deku breakfast?"

"Technically it's for me and Midoriya-kun, gero. It's only fair since we woke up at around the same time, gero."

"…I see."

Ochaco had no idea how to feel about this. Both Tsu and Deku were her friends and she loved both of them dearly, but it was bad enough that she had Hatsume as a potential rival. She didn't need or want Tsu as a rival too.

"Are you okay, Ochaco? You look sad all of a sudden, gero," said Tsuyu, giving her friend a worried look.

"Eh?! Oh! I'm fine! Just remembered this sad scene from a show I watched yesterday!" exclaimed Ochaco letting out a nervous laugh. "I should probably start getting ready for class! See you later, Tsu!"

Ochaco turned and stiffly made her way back to her room, passing Izuku on the way.

The green-haired boy looked at the frog girl with concern. "Is something wrong with Uraraka?"

Tsuyu's concern matched Izuku's. "She said it was some show she watched yesterday, but I think there's more to it, gero."

"Should…should we go talk to her?"

Tsuyu gave it some thought before ultimately shaking her head. "No. I think it might be best to give her some space first. If she's still like this later then we'll talk to her, gero."

He hesitated for a moment, but Izuku had to agree with Tsuyu's logic. With nothing left to do, the green duo sat down next to each other to eat their breakfast before they went to class.

-:-

Everyone was in class, waiting for Aizawa-sensei to make his appearance. While Iida tried to call for order before their teacher arrived, some of the others decided to talk amongst themselves.

"So Midoriya, what's with you and Asui lately?" asked Kaminari. "You two seemed to have gotten pretty close."

"Eh?! Wh-What do you mean?"

"Don't toy with us, Midoriya!" hissed out Mineta as he glared at the green-haired boy. "How the hell did someone like you get a girlfriend?! Tell us your secrets! And tell us Asui's bust size!"

"Eh?!"

While the perverted grape kept harassing Izuku, on the other side of the room the girls were witnessing Izuku's plight.

"Looks like the two idiots have Midoriya trapped," said Jirou with an irritated sigh.

"Tsuyu, you should go save your man!" chirped Mina with a smile towards said frog girl. No one noticed when Ochaco flinched at Mina's wording.

"Gero, you do know that Midoriya-kun is not my boyfriend, right, Mina?" replied Tsuyu, to which Ochaco gave a quiet sigh of relief.

"Sure he isn't."

Momo then spoke up. "Regardless though, it does look like Midoriya could use some help."

Before any of the girls could put a stop to Mineta, Aizawa walked into the room.

"Everyone sit down now," demanded the shaggy, exhausted looking man. Once everyone was in his or her seats, he continued. "Today we'll be doing simulations similar to the one you first did in the beginning of the year."

"You mean where one team plays the heroes and the other team are the villains?" questioned Kirishima.

"In a sense. Much like the previous test you will all be paired off into teams of two, but who you will be facing will be a surprise."

'Wait, what?' was the thought on all of the students' minds.

Aizawa let out a sigh when he noticed their confusion. "Basically this is to simulate an unknown factor. When you're out in the real world, you won't always know whom you will be up against. There is always a chance that you could encounter a villain that you have no knowledge of."

"In other words, this is to have us think on our feet," replied Momo. "This exercise won't give us a chance to come up with a plan beforehand."

"Exactly. As for what you'll be doing, your goal in this exercise is to capture the other team and you'll pass depending on how well you performed on the field. And before anyone gets any ideas, I'll be picking who you'll be partnered with."

Most of the students let out groan of disapproval, to which Aizawa took secret joy out of. It was then that Aizawa started naming off the teams.

Tokoyami Fumikage and Uraraka Ochaco

Ashido Mina and Sero Hanta

Kirishima Eijirou and Iida Tenya

Todoroki Shouto and Yaoyorozu Momo

Midoriya Izuku and Jirou Kyouka

Hagakure Tooru and Mineta Minoru

Kouda Kouji and Satou Rikidou

Kaminari Denki and Aoyama Yuuga

Shouji Mezou and Ojiro Mashirao

Asui Tsuyu and Bakugou Katsuki

As Aizawa named off the teams, some of the students were not happy…aside from Bakugou who was never happy. Tsuyu was one of these students because she would rather be with anyone else than with Bakugou. Even Mineta would have been better. Speaking of which…

"Why did I have to be paired with Mineta?" questioned Hagakure with a whimper.

"Aizawa-sensei probably did it on purpose since you're invisible, which means Mineta can't get distracted," explained Momo.

"Still doesn't mean I approve of it!" stated Hagakure as she crossed her arms over her chest. "At least you got lucky enough to be paired with Todoroki! I would do anything to be partnered with such a hottie!"

"It could have been worse. You could have had Bakugou as a partner," stated Jirou.

The girls turned towards Tsuyu with looks of apologies.

"Gero, I'll admit I would rather have anyone else…"

"Specifically Midori. Kyouka! You should trade with Tsuyu!"

Mina was ignored. "But I wouldn't wish Bakugou on anyone, gero. I'll just have to deal with this, gero."

Tsuyu looked over to where her partner for this exercise was to find him glaring at her. She merely rolled her eyes at his childishness and turned back to the other girls.

If she had looked elsewhere, she would have seen the worried look Izuku sent her way.

CHAPTER END

-:-

Poor Tsuyu. Her day started out so nicely and now it looks like she'll have some trouble with the upcoming exercise. Speaking of the exercise, I may or may not write out all five fights. I'll definitely write out Izuku & Kyouka's and Tsuyu & Bakugou's, but that might be it unless you guys want to see all five fights. As for which teams will face each other, I'll let you guys decide in the review section. Although, Izuku's team will not face Tsuyu's team, that much I'll say.

Fun Fact: The scientific name of the red-eyed treefrog, A. callidryas, roughly translates to "beautiful wood nymph".
