Chapter 35
When she had entered the room she could already hear a few hushed voices that assumed she was with Bakugou. The assumption was understandable. She did walk into the room standing a bit closer to him then to Kirishima.
Now that they were sitting and about to make introductions she felt that it would be a good opportunity to set things straight. When making eye contact with Izuku she couldn't help be feel a bit upset. She wished that he'd invited her. That they'd already established a relationship.
The table had made its way around to a man named Tenya Iida, who was working for his family company and was doing well in following in their footsteps. He also went on the introduce the woman sitting next to him as his girlfriend named Ainu Kato. When it was then her turn she explained how she works in the financial department at the his company. The woman's voice was very lively but it didn't match her eyes. One could say that she had resting bitch face but it didn't match her personality.
Next at the table was the woman sitting next to Izuku.
"It's nice meeting everybody again. For those who don't know me I'm Tsuyu Asui. Ribbit. I am still working with the Oki Mariner Crew recently it's been slow though. I have a partner who couldn't make it in today."
Rin sat up in her seat the moment she recognized the name. The woman had beautiful curves that enhanced her frog figure. She was beautiful and Rin could definitely see way a man would want to get with her.
"Partner?" The voice came from Izuku who was seating directly next to her. Of course this didn't go unnoticed by anyone in the room.
The scene between them was annoying for Rin to watch. Why did he care if she had a partner? Did he still have feelings for her in some way?
"Yes! My partner. She was unable to make it. We couldn't both get the time off of work. Ribbit."
Midoriya's eyes went wide and there were a few shocked faces but not many. Apparently Izuku's ex-girlfriend switched teams.
"Oh!" Was all the came out of his mouth and from across the table Rin could see the wheels turning. This must have been a huge relief for him.
Clearing her breathe Ochaco got everyone's attention, "Moving on. It's your turn Deku." The short haired woman had a blush across her face and if Rin were to guess it was because she was just trying to change topics.
Izuku's face was flushed and his eyes were down cast to his lap. Everyone in the room could see that he felt embarrassed.
"Uhh, for those who don't know me. I'm Midoriya Izuku and I work at Might Hero Agency. Not much has changed." He rubbed the back of his head and showed a toothy smile to everyone.
"Bet he secretly has a partner too." A purple bubble guy snickered.
The comment pissed Rin off and she wanted to get up and punch him in the face. She was about to too but she felt Bakugou's hand grab her wrist. When she looked over to ask him what the deal was he just shook his head and continued to slouch in his chair.
"I don't have a partner and there is nothing wrong with having one." Rin watched Izuku lay a hand on Asui's shoulder, "I do however." His eyes locked with hers and she felt the shiver roll down her spine. "I have a special person that I haven't asked out yet. And that's that. Next."
No questions were asked and nothing was commented on. The people around the room continued to introduce themselves. Throughout their intros Rin wanted to pay attention but she couldn't. She found that she kept fidgeting and making eye contact with Izuku from across the table. Why was the table so thick? Even though she was across from in the six-ish feet felt like a whole rooms distance.
She vaguely paid attention to the other people except for two people and mainly because that's when Izuku would break eye contact with her.
One being Denki and his girlfriend jiro as she announced that she was pregnant.
And the other when the purple bubble guy was advertising his Hero Agency called Purple Balls. This one got Rin's attention too but apparently everyone in the room had heard of it.
"Purple Balls Hero Agency offers a different kind of hero work that gets unnoticed. Helping the single, lonely and broken-hearted. Both men and women. We don't discriminate." Rin wasn't sure what he was referring to till he added, "The highest ratings since the ever popular Pornhub." And that confirmed it.
"So he runs a porn company?" She whispered into Kirishima's ear.
He giggled and hushed his voice back while Mina started to talk, "Yeah…and if you ask me the content of pretty nice."
Hearing about his personal opinion had her snicker with him. They both stopped when Mina nudged him signaling that it was his turn.
It dawned to her that it was her turn next. She wasn't really a nervous speaker. Getting half naked in front of people helped her overcome those fears a long time ago.
Looking ahead of her she saw Izuku's encouraging smile and then when Kirishima said it was her turn she was ready.
"My name is Lynn Samson but you can call my Rin. I work as a translator for the Might Hero Agency. Uhh, I've just moved here about 3 months ago." She couldn't think of anything else and was about to be done when the purple balls guys asked a question.
"Are you fucking Bakugou? If not do you want a side job?"
"I am not with Bakugou." Rin kept her composure because she didn't want it to slip that even though she wasn't it didn't mean that she didn't. "I've actually just accepted a special persons request to start a relationship with them. Thank you for the job opportunity though."
With her words she locked eyes with Izuku. His smile widened and she was happy to know that she was the one who did it. Happy to know that her words were understood on his end. The images of them making out came to her mind and that's all she wanted to do with him now. She couldn't imagine them making it to the eating portion on Thursdays now.
"Okay, we get it. You and Nerdy Deku are gunna start smashing." Bakugou raised his voice, "Y'all know who I am. Work at the Might. Rin and I aint fucking, Grape Juice. Though I'm sure if we were we'd be the top rank on Purple Balls. Cuz I'm always at the top rank." He was loud and expensive. You could see his veins pounding in his hands twitching to let out and explosion.
Though they never tried it Rin had always wanted to feel his hands burn her a bit. Maybe heat up while he fingers her. That was over now though and she'll have to stick with just wondering.
The comment about 'If they did fuck.' wasn't needed but Rin realized that their friends with benefits was always going to be a thing between them. In the past or not it was something that she suddenly had to accept they were always going to think about. Hints were bound to be released every now and then.
When Rin looked over at Izuku to see his response to Bakugou's burst but he didn't seem bothered. She knew that the boys had made up but was he really that okay with it? It was a future conversation.
"Thank you everyone for your introductions. I know it was formal but now time for the more casual part. We have appetizers and a bar for those of you that can drink. After our social hour we have a video to share with everyone." Ochaco made her announcement with the mic and right after she turned it off you could see her face drop.
Rin had to assume that dealing with the class of 1-A wasn't easy.
All Might was happy that the teacher was able to make time for the reunion. Even if he hated to admit it he knew that the teacher had a soft spot for the graduating class of XXXX.
"Aizawa, you look tired. How have things been?" He looked his friend over and the bags under his eyes seemed to have gotten darker. The question itself had his eye twitching.
"Eri is going through puberty."
All Might couldn't help but laugh. It felt that every other year there was some new obstacle that the man had to face being a parent of the young girl.
"She starts middle school this year too. Will she continue to have a private tutor or do you plan to enroll her?"
Aizawa heavy signed, "I think that it's best if she stays with tutoring but Shin's been advocating for her to go to school."
"It's been a year since the accident. How's Shinso and Eri working together?"
The Symbol of Peace watched his friend stare into the elevator door. He was clearly thinking back about what had happened.
"At first it was difficult but the two act as their same old sibling selves as if nothing happened."
The elevator doors opened breaking the tension but Yagi wasn't done.
"Do you think that acting that way is best?"
Walking out of the elevator Aizawa was clearly wanting to drop the topic about his adopted children, "Yes, my family has never been better since."
All Might didn't push it anymore as they entered the room with the reunion.
Upon walking in the first thing to catch his eyes were Izuku. His own important family. Then he noticed that he was standing close to the ever flirting Ms. Samson. The different atmosphere was readable from across the room. He could see that their bodies stood closer then the usual and that Midoriya's fingers were twitching to grab the young lady's hand next to him.
"Hey, you made it. We're doing our social hour though it's almost over. It's great to see you again Sensei." The bubble Uraraka Ochaco greeted them.
Yagi was about to greet the girl back but was beat to it.
"Why is a stripper at the reunion?" Aizawa stated bluntly. All Might trailing his eyes to the woman his young Midoriya had finally had the courage to hold hands with.
"I Uhh. What?" The girl started to blush and hover off of the ground.
"I knew she looked familiar." They turned to see their past student, Mineta, starting to also eye the woman.
All Might had a feeling this might not end well.
