Childhood Frog

Chapter Five:

Izuku immediately caught sight of Tsuyu in the park that warm spring morning, the new school year would be starting next week and they were utilizing their break to the fullest. Almost every morning they had met in the park to exercise. It was amazing how far they had come in their morning training sessions. Over the last three years they had really benefited from their rigorous workout routine.

To his surprise Izuku had developed lean muscle and was now one of the most athletic kids in school. Obviously even with his physical prowess he couldn't even dream of matching the capabilities of many Quirks, but it was a nice confidence booster when he actually managed to outperform many of his classmates during gym.

Asui Tsuyu was still his only and best friend, yet the green haired boy was happy with that. Izuku felt blessed to have someone who had so much faith in him and wanted to help him accomplish his dream. It made him want to do the same for her, he knew that Tsuyu was on the right track to one day becoming an amazing hero. He looked forward to the day when he could see headlines for the frog-themed hero Froppy.

A warm smile graced his face as thoughts of his frog-like friend came to him. Izuku felt as thought the frog-like girl had blossomed as the years had gone by. She had become noticeably taller than him and her hair, now tied into a bow at the end, went down to her waist. Izuku could not deny that he viewed Tsuyu as a beautiful girl.

Over the last few months, which was when he really noticed his attraction to his friend, he had done his best to keep from putting too much thought into it. Which wasn't too hard, considering he very much valued her friendship, save for a few moments. There were some instances when his frog-like friend unintentionally, or maybe at this point it was intentional, invaded his personal space without warning.

Even as they got older she never stopped giving him hugs at certain moments, and even "frog kisses," the boy's face became flushed at those thoughts. Three years later and her displays of affectionate, while not unwelcomed, were still able to fluster him. Shaking his head Izuku chased away such musings, now was not the time to think about the feelings he harbored for his dearest friend.

Izuku had zero issue with admitting that he liked Tsuyu. However, despite his slightly improved confidence he was still too afraid to even consider confessing. Even though he knew her possibly not returning his feelings wouldn't end their relationship, he didn't want to put unnecessary strain between them. Izuku was content to have her as his best friend, he felt like he couldn't ask for more.

Tsuyu looked up from her stretches as she saw her best friend arriving to their usual spot. She smiled widely as she waved him over. However her smile faltered as she remembered the conversation she had with her parents last night. 'I have to tell him today.' The teal haired girl thought to herself before looking down at her feet.

As he neared her Izuku was able to pick up on her sudden drop in mood. Frowning he came to a stop just in front of her. "What's wrong, Tsuyu?" He asked worriedly.

"Gero..." The teal haired girl sighed before looking up. "Izuku, I'm moving."

Suddenly the world around them didn't seem quite as bright. Izuku's eyes widened and his mouth parted as he registered what Tsuyu had just said. Noticing the slight tremble of her lips he shook himself out of his stunned state and stepped forward. "M-Moving?" Sadly he wasn't able to string the proper words he needed yet.

The teal haired girl nodded before casting her eyes downward. "Otou-san was recently given a transfer, and we're moving back to our old neighborhood." She explained sadly.

Last night's dinner conversation had been highly unpleasant for her. She hadn't started openly crying like her three year old sister had, nor had she vocalized her desire to stay. Yet Tsuyu wholeheartedly wished to remain where she was, she didn't want to leave Izuku. She didn't want to be without her best and only friend. She feared that she wouldn't be as lucky as she had been three years ago in managing to make a friend.

Izuku listened to her, still not quite having wrapped his head around the fact that Tsuyu was leaving. When she finished speaking he asked the dreaded question that he was afraid to have answered. "When are you guys moving?" He asked in a small voice.

"The day after tomorrow." Tsuyu answered just as despondent "Tomorrow we're going to be packing up our belongings so we won't be able to meet up here." The teal haired girl explained. Her face didn't give much away, but the tension in her shoulders and dullness of her eyes conveyed much.

Izuku stepped forward and in a rare display of boldness wrapped his arms around the surprised girl. "Gero!" Tsuyu croaked as she slowly raised her arms to return the hug. It wasn't often that Izuku initialed hugs, so she felt it imperative to savor this. They both suppressed their own sniffles as they tightened their hold on each other.

The two friends stood there for a awhile until Izuku released his hold on her and stepped back. "Just because you're moving doesn't mean we're not friends, right?" The green haired teen intoned, doing his best to keep his voice leveled.

Tsuyu stared at him for a few seconds before smiling widely. "Of course, Izuku." She wouldn't let the distance strain their friendship. Logically when she thought about it she knew that her old neighborhood wasn't that far from here, maybe an hour train ride away. "We might not get to see each other everyday, but we can visit each other on breaks." She said, allowing some optimism to shine through.

The Quirkless teen smiled at his best friend, feeling his spirits already beginning to lift. "Exactly." He said in response. "Just because we'll be in different areas doesn't mean we won't still be friends." Heart warming at his talent of cheering her up Tsuyu's lips formed a large smile.

The two teens shared another meaningful look before moving on with their afternoon training. Although today it was a little less intense than usual. After awhile it devolved into them just playing around the park, as if they came to an unspoken agreement just enjoy their time together.

The next day Izuku came by Tsuyu's house to help her and her family pack. Samidare was the one to answer the door, his lips formed a smile. "Izuku-san." He greeted simply before welcoming the elder male in.

"Good morning, Samidare." The green haired teen greeted as the door closed behind him.

Samidare's response was drowned out a high pitched cry. "Izuku-niichan!" Izuku felt the air leave his lungs as a three and a half year old bundle of energy rammed into him. Keeping his feet planned the teen returned Satsuki's bear hug. "I don't want you to go bye-bye!" The little girl said with tears streaming.

Izuku smiled sadly at the little girl, tears threating to escape him. Clearing his throat he dropped down to one knee and patted Satsuki on the head. "It'll be okay Satsuki-chan." He said soothingly as Samidare watched on. "I'll still visit." He tried to reassure the young girl.

Satsuki sniffled before looking at him with teary eyes. "Promise?" She asked in a small voice. The little girl had practically known Izuku for nearly her whole life, and the thought of not seeing the boy who often played whatever game she wanted made her sad.

Taking in her hopeful eyes Izuku nodded. "Of course." He said as the girl held up her pinky finger. The Quirkless boy smiled, finding the girl's expression to be adorable. He met her pinky with his own before standing up to his full height.

Suddenly Tsuyu appeared from the hallway, carrying an empty box. Seeing the tail end interaction between Izuku and her little sister she smiled. "Izuku." She called out to get his attention. "I have most of my belongings in boxes now. Can you help me carry them to the moving van?" The teal haired girl inquired.

Izuku nodded. "Of course." He answered before following her to her room. The two teens went back and forth between Tsuyu's room and the truck outside. Every now and then they would spot Beru placing an array of cute knickknacks into boxes. While Satsuki occupied herself with one of her dolls and Samidare played a game on some handheld device.

Ganma was unable to help them this Saturday morning. Unfortunately he had been required to come into work that day and thus left packing to the rest of his family plus Izuku. The two fourteen year olds spent the next few hours helping Beru load box after box into the truck.

Tsuyu was walking back from the moving van when she saw her childhood friend carrying a particularly heavy box. Finding his effort endearing she rushed over to help him and took some of the weight off of Izuku, the two moved at a moderate pace and loaded the box into the van.

With the two teens doing most of the heavy lifting they managed to finish loading the van with all of the boxes. "Thank you so much, Izuku." Tsuyu's mother had told the thirteen year old with a warm smile. The green haired boy had rubbed the back of his head as he accepted her thanks.

Ganma came home not much later with takeout, he thanked Izuku for helping his family with a crushing hug. "It's good to know my wife and daughter had you to do all that heavy lifting." The middle age man said with a laugh. Tsuyu felt that telling her dad that she did just as much heavy lifting as Izuku was unnecessary. "Come have dinner with us." He offered to the male teen who politely accepted.

The following day Izuku came back early in the morning to help the Asui family finish moving the rest of their belongings. They had sent off most of their things, but now came moving their furniture. Izuku ended up helping Ganma with carrying their sofa and dining table into the truck.

Moving their TV was somewhat of a hassle, as while it wasn't heavy it was awkward to carry. To Izuku's embarrassment he nearly dropped, but was saved by Tsuyu's timely intervention. The frog-like teen had smiled at the sheepish boy as he readjusted his grip before continuing on.

Once everything was squared away the Beru and Ganma lead a crying Satsuki and quiet Samidare to the truck. Tsuyu stood in front of Izuku with a nervous expression she tried to smile at him, but it just came as hollow.

Izuku breathed out sadly before walking over to her and hugging her. Tsuyu's face became bright red when the green haired teen actually planted a soft peck on her cheek. "I'm going to miss being able to see you whenever I want." He told her.

Tsuyu nodded in response before wrapping her arms around him and holding him tighter. They maintained the embrace for a few more moments before pulling away. "I'll text you when we get there." Tsuyu said before looking to where the rest of her family were. It was time to go.

Izuku nodded to her words and watched her walk away. He remained in his spot as Tsuyu climbed into the truck and sat next to her siblings. He didn't move from the spot even as the truck pulled away from the now empty house. Only once they were out of sight did he allow himself control over his limbs again.

The walk home was longer than it should have been, Izuku's feet stopped moving for a time when he arrived at the park. Looking at the play area, currently occupied by a group of children Izuku couldn't help but imagine a younger him and Tsuyu. They had spent much time in the park training, and playing, he had quite a few memories here.

It was at that point that his cellphone vibrated. Izuku made a small noise of surprise as he pulled out his phone and read the latest text message. It was from Tsuyu telling him that she and her family had made it to their new home. The green haired teen managed a small smile as he quickly responded to his best friend's message. The boy sighed before shoving his phone into his pocket and walking home.

Inko picked up on her son's sadness immediately, she had been told about Tsuyu's family moving away the other night. Unfortunately the mother knew that there was very little she could do to improve her son's mood, but still gave him a hug when he walked into the kitchen. Hopefully this minor bout of heartache would pass, considering he would still be in contact with Tsuyu. It's not like they didn't have ways to message each other or visit.

Over the next few weeks Katsuki seemed to up his attempts at harassing Izuku. The spiky haired blond hurled his usual insults at him, though also poking fun at the fact that he no longer had Tsuyu around. Izuku became rather annoyed with his bully's need to bring up his absent friend. He tried to ignore the blond teen's words, but ultimately failed.

Roughly a week after Tsuyu moving away they got into a fight, Katsuki threw the first punch and Izuku reacted. Putting use of the knowledge of how Katsuki fought with the improvements of his physical capabilities he managed to stand toe to toe. Sadly Izuku ended up coming out of the fight the most damaged, many bruises and a couple of burn marks.

Though, much to Katsuki's explosive anger, the blond also didn't come out unscathed. He had a couple bruises that he refused to name the origin of. The fact that the useless Deku could manage to hurt him infuriated the aggressive boy. Over the next couple of years, whenever he tried to antagonize the Quirkless boy, they would end up coming to blows every now and then.

With some reluctance Katsuki could inwardly admit that he felt some grudging respect for Izuku. The fact that the boy, now alone, would actually stand up to him both pleased and infuriated him. On one hand he could appreciate someone who stood on their feet despite adversity, however he still felt it imperative to remind Izuku of his place beneath him.

Izuku gritted his teeth as he felt Katsuki's fist lodge itself in his stomach. Not allowing himself to falter he took the punch and launched one of his own into his opponent's jaw. He heard Katsuki grunt from the blow before feeling another fist hit his cheek.

Izuku stumbled back, panting as Katsuki glared at him. The blond hardly seemed to have broken a sweat, but he had a couple bruises forming. "Fucking Deku!" The spiky haired teen growled as small explosions appeared in his palms. He sprinted forward, intent on catching Izuku with his palms.

The green haired teen swallowed his fear best he could and countered. Grabbing Katsuki's wrist he pivoted and flung the aggressive teen over his shoulder. Katsuki released an angry growl as his back hit the pavement. Izuku watched as the increasingly angry teen stood back up, gulping he prepared for the retaliation he knew was coming.

Today's fight continued on for a bit longer, Katsuki's friends watched from the sidelines. When they had initially tried to help and gang up on Izuku the blond had all but exploded. "Stay the fuck out of this, you bastards! The last thing I need is help beating Deku!" His eyes were vicious as he spoke, promising much pain if they interfered. His friends remained frozen for a few more seconds before backing away.

Not long after that exchange Katsuki ended up coming out on top. For all of his physical capabilities, Izuku was just no match for the explosive teen. Izuku remained prone on the ground as the blond bully walked off with his cronies. Once they were gone the green haired teen sighed before slowly picking himself back up. It had been three months since Tsuyu left and things had hardly gotten better.

The days of hanging out with his best friend were almost nonexistent, they managed to spend time together on the weekends. Usually he'd visit her new house and hang out with her, though they usually played with her younger siblings. On one of the few weekends where she didn't have to watch Satsuki and Samidare she had come to see him and his mom. Thankfully they hadn't come across Katsuki that day while walking around the neighborhood, Tsuyu still didn't know about his tussles with the aggressive blond.

Izuku knew that his best friend would be proud of him for standing up to Katsuki, but he also realized that she'd be worried about him getting hurt. The green haired teen uttered another sigh as he grabbed his bag and went on his way home. He'd need to clean and bandage his latest injuries courtesy of Katsuki. "I should also put some of that ointment on these burns..." Izuku muttered as he placed his hand to his cheek before flinching. "Tch!" He hissed before biting down the pain.

He was broken out of his thoughts when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. His mom hardly ever texted him, she preferred to call, so he knew immediately who the message was from. Izuku pulled out his phone and unlocked the screen to view the latest text.

{Izuku, this Saturday my mom is off. So I'll be coming over this weekend. I hope you don't mind if I bring someone with me. I made a new friend, and I want you to meet her.}

Izuku smiled as he read her words and was about to reply when another message came through. To his surprise it was a photo, one of a smiling Tsuyu next to a red haired girl with yellow eyes and serpent-like features. Izuku could admit that some people might find the girl's appearance slightly off putting at first, but from what he could discern from the photo she seemed like a friendly person.

Pressing reply on his phone screen Izuku quickly typed a reply, expressing how he couldn't wait to see Tsuyu and meet her new friend. A few more exchanges later and the two agreed to meet at their usual meet-up spot on Saturday at ten-thirty.

Thankfully when Izuku got home his mother's eyes were away from the door, he managed to sneak to the bathroom and find the first aid kit. Treating his minor burns had been his first priority, followed by cleaning the few cuts he had. He had just finished tending to his light injuries when he was called for dinner by his mother. The green haired teen responded to her call, citing that he'd be there in a minute.

Izuku inhaled deeply before storing the first aid kit away and leaving the bathroom. Upon sitting down for dinner his mother made no mention of his the fresh bandages. She knew that he was training hard as ever, and thankfully bought his lie that any injuries he sustained were a result of that.

The rest of the week he had no more altercations with Katsuki, though the blond still felt it necessary to shoot him intimidating glares during school. Izuku did his best to focus on his study at school, and record the latest heroes who appeared on duty.

The weekend came and his minor injuries had since healed. Izuku arrived at the park roughly fifteen minutes before the meeting time. He felt slightly nervous at the prospect of meeting a new person, a friend of Tsuyu's no less. Sadly in the time that Tsuyu had been away he hadn't managed to make any new friend. Most the of his classmates were people who already knew him, and weren't keen on making friends with Bakugo Katsuki's favorite target.

Seven minutes after he had arrived Izuku spotted sight of both girls. It being near the end of spring, and just before summer, with the temperature on the rise. So both girls were dressed in clothes meant to combat the summer heat. Tsuyu was wearing a light colored shirt and skirt, while her friend was dressed similarly except with shorts.

Tsuyu's smile widened as she saw Izuku, she waved at him before grabbing the snake-like girl's hand. Leading her over Tsuyu stopped just in front of her friend before throwing her arms around him. "It's good to see Izuku." She said, her voice conveying much happiness at seeing her friend. Over the last two weeks they hadn't been able to visit each other, since she had been busy with her studies and taking care of her siblings.

Izuku smiled as he returned the hug, his face became slightly flushed but he was still happy nonetheless. "H-Hey Tsuyu." He managed before stepping back and turning his attention to the new arrival.

The serpent-like girl seemed to be glaring at him, although Izuku figured that was just her natural expression. Deciding that not introducing himself would be rude he held his hand out. "H-Hi, I'm Midoriya Izuku." Her thin tongue slipped out of her mouth before quickly slipping back in. "Um..." Izuku rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

Suddenly he felt his body jolt into stiffness before falling over. "Gah!" He gritted his teeth as he nearly ate the dirt, thankfully Tsuyu had been quick to catch him. Izuku was about to open his mouth to complain about not being able to move his limbs when he suddenly regained function of them. "Wh-What happened?" The Quirkless boy asked somewhat frantically.

The red haired girl finally spoke up. "That was my doing." She said raising her hand. "My Quirk allows me to paralyze anyone I look at for three seconds." She explained before gesturing over to Tsuyu. "Tsuyu-chan said that you'd probably want to know all about my Quirk, so I gave you a demonstration. By the way my name's Mongoose Habuko." She introduced herself after having blown through the initially awkward barrier.

Any other person would have been upset at the unprovoked use of her Quirk on their person. Izuku however was already drafting up theories as to how her Quirk worked, and how it could be used in certain situations. The redhead became slightly flabbergasted when Izuku started asking her for details on her Quirk.

Tsuyu smiled as she watched her oldest friend excitably ask Habuko about her powers. To her delight, once Habuko overcame her initial surprise, she seemed very happy not to have someone put off by her appearance.

The three teens continued talking for a little while longer after Habuko had finished telling Izuku everything she could about her Quirk. Tsuyu's two friends informed each other the circumstances of how they became friends with Tsuyu. Habuko found Izuku's story about how they met in fifth grade to be adorable. "I can totally picture you at ten, you must two must have looked so cute." The snake-like girl all but gushed to Tsuyu.

The two childhood friends blushed at Habuko's excited words. "We've been best friends ever since." Izuku capped off his story from where he'd been interrupted. During his story he had also ended up telling Habuko about his status as a Quirkless. To his relief Tsuyu's new friend had shown no pity or ridicule for his plight, and instead seemed in awe of his story.

Habuko also told Izuku how she and Tsuyu became friends. "So...I basically stalked her for like two months." Izuku nodded for a moment before blinking.

"Huh?"

Not at all deterred by his response Habuko continued. "When this new girl came to our school I started following her around, because she was basically like me. People weren't approaching her and she seemed lonely. I know what it's like to be lonely so I'd follow her around, use my Quirk on her because I got nervous, and then run away." Izuku turned to look at Tsuyu for confirmation and the smiling frog girl nodded. "But one day this crazy frog asked me to be her friend, and at first I yelled at her but then I asked her to be my friend...and yeah." Habuko felt herself becoming slightly self conscious at the perplexed look on Izuku's face.

Realizing that he was staring Izuku cleared his throat before speaking. "Well," He coughed into his hand. "I'm glad that Tsuyu managed to make a friend at her new school. So, thank you." He told the snake girl, honestly happy.

Habuko's nervous expression quickly gave way to excitement. "It's also really nice to meet you, I hope that we'll also be friends!" Izuku looked surprised for about three seconds before he quickly agreed with her sentiment.

The three left the park and made for the shopping center. Izuku and Tsuyu gave Habuko a fairly detailed tour of some of the places they frequented during their childhood. They stopped by the local arcade for some competitive fun. Habuko proved to be quite the advent gamer, and managed to wipe the floor with Izuku at most of the cabinets. They also visited a few of the local shops, to Izuku's horror one of them happened to be a clothing store. Being the only male of the group he was forced to endure the long time worst punishment any male could. Having to evaluate and give feedback to his female friends regarding their possible purchases.

Izuku about had a heart attack when Habuko convinced Tsuyu to showcase a tasteful, yet appealing swim suit. Considering how red Tsuyu's face was she was obviously very embarrassed by the whole thing as well. "Please don't make me do that again, Habuko-chan." The frog-like girl pleaded once they were back in the changing room. "Something like that is too much..."

Sure she and Izuku had gone swimming before, mostly during school. However there was an occurrence once or twice where they visited the local pool. Yet every time they went Tsuyu opted for wearing something much more conservative.

When they finally left the store Izuku was very much thankful to the deities above who had decided to take pity on him. However those same deities appeared to be laughing at him considering what happened not too long after. Izuku paled slight upon spotting a familiar head of spiky ashen blond. Bakugo Katsuki caught sight of him and his body stiffened as though Habuko had used her Quirk again. To his relief he was still standing, so obviously the red haired girl had done no such thing.

Katsuki met his gaze and narrowed his eyes into slits. Growling under his breath the blond turned to the three people around him and uttered something. Izuku watched in silence as his childhood bully advanced on him.

His three friends hurried to keep up with Katsuki's hurried pace. "Deku!" The blond growled out as he advanced on the green haired teen. Upon seeing the company he was keeping he grinned savagely. "I see Frogger's back." He chuckled humorlessly "Won't stop me from paying you back for the other day." The blond promised while punching his opened palm.

Tsuyu was confused by that statement but didn't bother questioning it. Instead she glared at the spiky haired youth. "Gero..." She hissed, ready to strike if he tried anything. During the near three years she had gone to school with these two she tried to avoid physical altercations with Katsuki. The rare exceptions being the few times he tried to physically harass her best friend.

Habuko frowned at seeing the new arrival, he obviously wasn't a friend of Izuku's. He seemed more like someone who hated him. "Who the hell are you?" The serpent-like girl asked as she crossed her arms.

Katsuki glanced passed Izuku and noticed the unfamiliar girl. "What are you supposed to be?" He asked while crossing his arms. He smirked when the snake girl stiffened in response. When she refused to answer he stepped forward. "Hey, I'm tal-! Gah!" He cried out as his body suddenly stopped moving and he kissed the pavement. "Wh-What the fuck!?" He cried out while trying to will his limbs.

Tsuyu was the first to figure out what had happened, turning to her friends she grabbed them each by the wrists and lead them away. "Come on, Gero!" She cried out before breaking into a run.

This seemed to anger the incapacitated blond. "G-Get back here!" A disoriented and pissed off Katsuki shouted after them as he picked himself back up.

Thankfully the three seconds that he was paralyzed proved to be an adequate enough of a head start for them to lose Katsuki. Once they felt it okay to stop running they sat down on the steps of a library. "Who was that jerk?" Habuko asked once she had caught her breath.

Izuku and Tsuyu looked at each other, they were each a little flushed from their run but not breathing as heavy. "Th-That was Bakugo, he likes pushing people around." Tsuyu explained with a frown. Now she couldn't help but wonder how Izuku was managing without her at school. She knew that Katsuki still had to be harassing her best friend, his attitude hadn't changed one bit.

"He sounds like an ass." The red haired girl bluntly uttered.

The two other teens didn't say anything in regard to her statement, but their expressions conveyed their agreement. "It's a good thing you were there." Izuku instead told her.

Tsuyu smiled widely at her red haired friend. "It was nice seeing Bakugo get his comeuppance." She said with a chuckle. Habuko blushed lightly at the compliments but seemed pleased.

The three teens endeavored to put the momentary set back behind them. They ended up visiting a bowling alley where Izuku proved to be quite adept. Tsuyu cheered as the green haired teen scored strike after strike. And to her surprise Habuko seemed to be pretty good at the sport as well, also getting quite a few strikes. It proved to be a fairly intense game between the two new friends. However in the end Izuku ended up emerging the victor.

"Wow it's after three." Izuku muttered as they walked out of the bowling alley. Turning to the two girls he suggested that they stop for lunch.

Twin grumbling stomachs were his answer, and he watched as their cheeks tinted in color. Walking around for a little bit they came across a little diner that he and Tsuyu sometimes ate at. A bell chimed as they entered, announcing their presence. A young host looked up from her podium before escorting them to a little booth. Habuko and Tsuyu sat on one side while Izuku sat across from them, they were given menus and the promise that they're server would be right with them.

"Hmm, what's good here?" Habuko asked as she quickly browsed the menu.

The two other teens didn't bother looking at they're menus, they had been here enough times that the pair already knew what they wanted. "The tomato soup is pretty good." Izuku commented while Tsuyu recommended a dish with jelly.

"Hmm, maybe I'll try the soup..." Habuko said as she continued looking through.

A server arrived shortly after and jotted their drink order before asking if they were ready. Habuko said that she wasn't quite ready, but that would decide after her friends ordered. Izuku ended up ordering a chicken sandwich while Tsuyu ordered her usual. After a few seconds of considering Habuko decided to go with Izuku's recommendation.

After their light lunch the group decided that it was time to call it a day. "I need to head home and pick up some stuff my mom needs." Habuko explained to the two as she and Tsuyu decided it was time to head for the train station. Izuku saw them off before walking home.

Later that night Izuku happily detailed an abridged version of his day to his mom. Inko listened with a warm smile as her son explained how he and Tsuyu, along with his new friend, filled their day. After dinner Izuku deposited his dish into the sink, and was ushered out of the kitchen by his mom. "Go ahead, I'll wash them." She told him.

Izuku nodded thankfully before escaping to his room, upon closing the door he received a text from Tsuyu. The green haired teen smiled as he read her typed words, explaining that she had gotten home safely and was now lounging around.

{Good to her, I just finished eating dinner. Today was a lot of fun, it was really cool meeting Mongoose-san. I hope we can all hang out together again.}

Izuku sent his reply and sat his phone down. Not even thirty seconds later he had received a response from Tsuyu. The Quirkless boy snatched his phone and quickly read her response.

{Thatd be grate. Maybe nxt wekend you can come ovr? :3}

Izuku smiled at her message before answering her question.

{Sounds like a plan, I'll be there. :)}

And there we have it, the end of chapter five.

Okay one important thing I want to bring to my reader's attention. Thus far I've managed to keep posting new chapter once a week, sadly that's going to stop. I'm still going to be working on this story, but from here on out I'm going to be going at a slower pace and doing my best to make sure every chapter is the best it can be. So I hope you'll all be patient with me and know that I have not given up on this story.

Anyways thanks for reading, I'll see you all in the next chapter.
