*Midoriya's P.O.V*
"Soaring Tempest!" I yelled as I hit the dummy 5 times before it shattered. Good... a tad bit faster. I'm prioritizing my Soaring Tempest before Hurricane Kick because it's harder to keep the momentum going since it's a multi-hit attack. But... I should take a break. I've been at this since I've finished my run with Shinso... which was an hour ago. I trained him all day yesterday, telling him the regimen I made for him... with All Might's help that is. Once I gave him the list I told him to train on his own, as well as make his own moves. Or else how is he going to beat me if I know what he's doing. He agreed and went back inside to train in his room.
I headed back inside, a towel wrapped around my neck to soak up any stray sweat droplets, I reached into the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water. Once I got it I walked over to the couch and pondered.
"I wonder if Hatsume is in right now... I need some flame and heat resistant shoes..."
"Hey Midoriya." Iida said as he sat next to me, "What are you muttering to yourself about?"
"Oh, some updates for my hero costume... I came up with a new move."
"One that requires you to have flame and heat resistant shoes?" He asked.
"Yeah... have you ever heard of One Piece?"
"No."
"... Okay, we're sitting you down and making you watch it later." I said before looking around and leaning in, "This is top secret information... but I created a new move that uses both my flames and my legs."
"Really?" Iida asked, "Care to demonstrate?" He asked.
"Sure... but I need my shoes, and a leg brace." I muttered, as I stood up, "If you'd like to come with me to school, I'm sure Hatsume is in right now... or at least Power Loader."
"Hmm... I'd be delighted. Should we bring Uraraka along?" Iida asked.
"I don't see why not." I said as I stood up, "I'll ask Aizawa for a note, then I'll wait outside, you should shoot her a text saying she should get her note as well."
A few minutes later, Uraraka came down and we three headed to school.
"So get this... Iida has never watched One Piece."
"... No way." She muttered.
"I know right." I said, "But don't worry... the perfect remedy is to marathon all 831 episodes and movies the minute we get back." I said which baffled Iida.
"I-I apologize... how many?" He asked.
"831."
"Can we... perhaps not watch all that much?" He asked.
"Fine... we'll watch the first 100." I muttered
"That's... better?" He asked unsure of himself. It's not like he has any real choice here, but to be honest... watching 831 episodes of One Piece in 4 days is... literally impossible. Heck even 100 might be pushing it... but it's worth it.
"Well, we're here." I said as we stood in front of the metal door. Uraraka walked forward to knock, but I grabbed her shoulder. "I'd recommend standing back." I said as I knocked on the door, then standing clear of the 'blast radius'
As expected the doors blew open, as Hatsume laid face up on the ground coughing up the smog and soot from her system.
"Man... I should have tigh- Oh hey Midoriya." Hatsume greeted before standing back up, "What brings you here?"
"Hero Suit update." I said as I fished out the form, "I need something for my legs, new move and all that."
"I see... what do you need?"
"First off... flame and heat resistant shoes, last time I used this move they almost caught on fire. Secondly... a leg brace, if that's possible." I asked.
"Hmm... I have just the thing, come on in you 3." She said as we all entered the Support Department room.
"Ahh, I see you're back... and you brought friends." Power Loader greeted.
"Yes, I came up with a new move, but my shoes aren't made for it." I said.
"Ah-Ha! I have just the thing." She said as she pulled out... another pair of red shoes, they look oddly like mine, "I had a small feeling you would need something like this, so I made it right before summer... but I forgot to give it to you, my bad." She said as she placed them onto the table, "Try them out with your flame Quirk, no flames guaranteed."
"Alright..." I said as everyone stood back. I blew my flames onto the shoes... a little bit of scuffs... but they're almost prestine.
"See? Perfection." She said humbly bragging, "Now... for your leg brace problem... ahh! Here it is... baby number 194." She said as she handed me two leg braces, "These go on your legs, they're made of the same material as your arms and iron soles, here try it on." She said handing them to me. I took off my shoes and placed the braces over my legs. "Well...? How do they feel?" She asked.
"They fit like a glove." I said giving her a thumbs up, "Really out done yourself this time Hatsume... though these pale in comparison to these." I said pointing to my arms.
"Heh... then that means I have to try harder to beat them." She commented with a silent determination on her face, "So... you guys need anything?" She asked looking at Uraraka and Iida.
"Uhh..." They muttered.
"Might as well get ideas, it's inevitable to update your costumes." I said as I took some practice kicks, "Might as well beat the impending rush."
They nodded and started to talk to Hatsume about things that could improve their costumes.
"It's been a while since she's been this excited." Power Loader said as he returned to his laptop, "Ever since you started coming in, there has been less explosions and more good prototypes." He said, "Thanks... you've really helped me out."
I just shrugged, "I don't know what I did really... I just came in and asked for things. I just thought it'd be boring just working on my costume." I said as I headed towards the door, "Besides I'm sure 16 other students will be coming... in about a week, so don't thank me yet." I said as I walked out of the Support Department room and headed back to the dorms. I'm sure Iida and Uraraka will come when they get the chance. Once I came back to the dorms... there was a note on the door.
"To Midoriya, Iida, and Uraraka: We left for a day at the mall, don't destroy the place while we're gone. - Kirishima." I read out loud, "P.S. I cleaned up the dummies you destoryed."
... Well that's fine, I don't really like going to the mall, and it gives me a chance to try out Diable Jambe in privacy. I headed to the back and set up a dummy, I put on my flame and heat resistant shoes, and put on my leg braces. Once everything was ready, I used my flame breath to heat up my right leg. Then I launched myself towards the dummy. "Diable Jambe... Hurricane Kick!" I yelled as I unleashed my Hurricane Kick, causing the dummy to shatter into flaming pieces.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" A voice yelled.
I turned to see Iida and Uraraka standing at the door way.
"Oh hey, how did it go?" I asked grabbing a broom and started sweeping up the charred remains.
"Oh, we didn't really reach a conclusion, but don't change the subject, what was that?!" Uraraka asked, "Your leg was on fire! FIRE! And you kicked the dummy to heck and back, and not only was it destoryed, it was incinerated!"
"It's a move I got from One Piece."
"... You did not." She said with realization dawning on her eyes, "Did you just try Diable Jambe?" She asked.
"Not try... did the Diable Jambe." I said as I dumped the flaming dummy parts into the trash can, "I needed to add some spice to my kicks, so I thought that would be the perfect solution."
"Indeed, the benefits of having two Quirks." Iida said.
"Two Quirks adds more creativity." I said with a smirk, "Now I have a counter for Todoroki."
"A counter for who?" A voice asked.
"WE'RE BACK!" Another voice yelled.
We turned to see everyone standing at the back door.
"Welcome back." I greeted before rushing inside, I grabbed a cord All Might gave me that allowed me to connect my phone to the T.V, then rushed back. "Iida, Uraraka, get your asses in here!" I exclaimed as I connected my phone to the T.V. and put on One Piece, "It's anime binging time!"
We started watching One Piece, I sat on the floor and Uraraka and Iida sat beside me, one on each side. Slowly everyone else came in to watch as well.
"So... what is this show about?" Yaoyorozu asked, she came in late so it's to be expected.
"We-"
I cut of Jirou to explain the fundamentals of the best anime in the world One Piece, "That's about the basics." I explained.
...
...
"FANBOY!" Uraraka yelled with a s**t eating grin on her face.
"S-Shut up." I muttered.
Once we were at about episode 8, something landed on my lap, I looked down to see... Uraraka?!
"U-Uraraka are you-"
"*Snore*"
"... Asleep?" I asked, "Iida... help me." I whispered. However... Iida just laughed, pulled out his phone, and took a picture. "This isn't the time for documenting the moment!" I whisper yelled.
"Alright... I'll assist you." He said, "After this episode is over..." He added with a smirk, "You got me really invested in this show."
Oh so now he's going to be a smartass about this. Ugh fine... this'll be over soon. So what my 'crush' is laying on my lap, and so what the tingling sensation in my chest is happening... a lot. Oh well, calm down, Iida will help me in a mat-
"*Snore*"
Seriously?! You too Iida?!
I looked around frantically for any signs of assistance, there's Yaoyorozu, "Yaoyorozu... help me!" I whisper yelled. She turned to face me... then laughed, created a polaroid camera, and took a picture. "You all are the f**king worst!"
"It's not my place to interrupt them... they seem extremely comfortable." She said as she shook the picture before pocketing it.
"Really?" Kirishima asked as he pressed up on my back, "Wow... he's so warm."
"You're not helping the situation!"
"But Kirishima's got the right idea." Sero said walking over, "Scootch over." He said as I felt Kirishima move a few inches to make room for another body, "Oh he is warm... must be the fire."
Then my eyes started getting heavy, "You... guys... su... damn it."
...
...
*Uraraka's P.O.V*
"Nggh... huh? What time is it?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes, the room was entirely dark... with the only source of light being the T.V. screen. It just changed so we're on episode 18. I looked at the clock that was above the T.V, it was barely visible, but it read 10:23.
Man... what a weird pillow, it's lumpy, and why is there a dent in the middle? I lifted my head to look at the pillow... it was a pair of legs. Oh no... I looked up and my worst fears have been realized, I saw Midoriya and his sleeping face... what a cute face. I tried to move... but my body couldn't. I looked down to see... of course, Yaoyorozu, Jirou, Mina, Tsu, and Hagakure all sleeping, using my body as a pillow. Aww Jirou is cuddling Yaoyorozu.
Well, looks like I'm stuck here. I reached for the remote to shut off the T.V.
"Hey, I was watching that."
"Oh sor- Wait... Mr. Aizawa?" I asked.
"Yes, Shinso told me about your sudden sleepover, normally I would have punished you all, but he said not to. Besides, I haven't seen this show in years, so I'll let you off the hook just this once." He said.
"O-Okay." I stuttered.
"By the way... tell Midoriya to add a spin to his new move. It'll stick closer to the source material, and confuse the enemy." Mr. Aizawa commented.
"You know about it?" I asked.
"I watched in the shadows, it's a good idea, adds some power to his kicks while making it a move only he can repliate." He added, "It'll make a great ultimate move."
"Ultimate Move...?" I asked.
"You'll know more about it later." He said.
I decided to not press the issue any further, so I watched some more episodes... before I got sleepy again. It also didn't help that Midoriya... while his legs are a littly lumpy with muscle, were rather comfy. It didn't take long for me to close my eyes and drift to sleep.
