Gold watch, diamond ring
I ain't missin' not a single thing
And cufflinks, stick pin
When I step out I'm gonna do you in - Sharp Dressed Man by ZZTop

When I came down for breakfast the next morning, I was shocked to find Tenya waiting by the girl's elevator, his litre of orange juice already half gone. He was already better dressed than most Saturday mornings. Instead of his soft cotton tee and athletic short combo that left his engines bare, he had on a button up shirt and neatly pressed slacks.

I hastily pulled my own shirt down, making sure there was no skin showing between it's hem and the top of my pajama pants. There's actually a rule about it, and though I love him like a brother, I really hate being lectured. Thank goodness there was no rule about wearing pajamas in the common areas!

"Good morning!" He greeted in a cheery voice, "Can I get you anything?"

I blinked a little, completely taken aback by his stranger than usual words. "Uh? I was going to have a cup of tea and whatever Bakugo-kun made." I frowned, "Like every Saturday. Are you okay?"

"Decidedly not." He replied with his mouth down-turned, "Come over here, tell me what transpired last night."

I followed him though the living area over to one of the dining tables next to the kitchen. A couple of our classmates were squabbling over what smelled suspiciously of Tamagoyaki and mandarin slices. I know we have bananas, too, and I smiled at Iida, "Do you mind grabbing me a cup of tea?" If he's gone, I can get breakfast alla Bakugo.

"Sugar?"

"One lump," I replied, making as if to sit, and then scrambling up to grab a plate and fight for my share as soon as his back was turned. I returned triumphant, and managed a bite before he set a double-glazed mug of steaming tea at my place. "So, what's up?"

"I saw you going out last night with Mineta, and to be honest, I think I speak for everyone here as to being confused."

I nodded thoughtfully as I speared and ate a few mandarin slices. "I understand, but as a friend, I don't want you to be upset, all right?" He nodded back, his quick jerks making me smile, "Mina-chan and I decided I needed to get out more." I tried a path he might agree with, "To get to know my classmates better."

"Improving camaraderie is important, but..." He sighed, "Mineta?"

I smiled at him, "I know, but it's a start. He told Mina-chan he could take me out, and he did. It wasn't painful, and although he tried to get a kiss from me, nothing really happened." I ate more of the omelette, "Besides, it was kinda fun, I'm looking forward to going out again with some one new."

"How about me?" The offer was unexpected, for him and me, "I was going to visit my brother and his wife today. It's just a train ride and lunch, but I could call it a date, if you want."

My eyes were wide, and a felt a grin widen, Iida was already my friend. I was pretty sure he wouldn't try anything even remotely pervy on me. "I'd really like that," I reached out to touch his hand, "A date with one of my best friends."

He smiled in a way I'm not sure I'd seen before, it was small and gentle, somehow, "Go ahead and get ready, we will need to leave soon if we're to catch the train to Hosu."

"Okay!" I grabbed my now empty plate, "Thanks for this Iida-kun. I'm really excited to meet some of your family." I stood and nudged him with my elbow, an old game, as he reacted with a poke to my arm. "I'll be less than twenty minutes. Will that work?"

He nodded, and I trotted off to the elevators and a shower. I thought about the clothes that Iida was wearing, and decided that my favorite sundress and a cardigan would work. I could wear my new heeled dress shoes, too! I smiled to myself, meeting his family will be as nice as going home to see my own.

I erupted from the elevator, eager to go and see the infamous Hosu City. I was surprised to see Deku and Todoroki-kun chatting with my 'date'. Three sets of eyes turned on me, and I think none of them blinked.

"You look wonderful, Ochaco-chan."

Midoriya blushed scarlet, "Oh! Yeah, absolutely!"

"Uraraka?" Todoroki tipped his head in that way he does when curious, "Why are you dressed up this early?"

It was my turn to blush, though Tenya gave the other boy a crunch on the shoulder, "We're going out today." He smiled at me again, his glasses catching the sun though the windows, "This dress is very appropriate and you should say so."

If you didn't know he was capable of it, you wouldn't know that Shouto could blush. His winter cheek and ear pink so delicately, each time I saw it was a little gift. I smiled encouragingly at the taciturn boy. "Of course. Uraraka always dresses appropriately."

As good as a full blown compliment from anyone else! I giggled, "Thank you, Todoroki-kun." I faced Tenya, "I'm ready, do I need anything else?"

Tenya shook his head, "No, I'm pleased to escort you. We should hurry, though." He pushed one hand out, and I froze for a half second before putting my hand in his. We walked away from Alliance Heights hand in hand, with a very shocked audience.

We walked all the way to the train station, though not hand in hand. We both used our passes to board the train, and sat facing each other, both on the window seat. I leaned against the window, watching Tenya wipe his glasses with his shirt tail.

"So, I was curious. What were you talking about with Deku and Todoroki-kun?"

"Nothing much. Midoriya stopped to talk to me, and I told him about your," he made air quotes, "mission with Mineta." He sighed, "Then Todoroki stopped to ask Midoriya something, and we just started talking. That's all. Besides, you came down only a few minutes later."

"Okay," I agreed, why would he lie about something like that? "So how long was this supposed to take?"

"The train is about 45 minutes. Lunch with my brother could take awhile, but I should have you home before dark."

"I didn't get to see Hosu when.." I shrugged, "Sorry, you probably don't want to talk about that."

Tenya sobered, "It wasn't the best day of my life."

"Hey, forget about it." I shook his knee and he gave me a tolerant look, "I have an idea, do you like card games?"

...later

"Hosu City station, Hosu City station!" The PA sounded as I slapped down my hand.

"Thank god. You were really kicking my butt."

Tenya laughed, "I was so close to 500!" He tossed his cards on the discards and I gathered them to put back in my purse. You literally never knew when a deck of cards and a pencil will come in handy.

We stood together outside the Hosu train station, and I looked at the city. "It's nicer than I thought," I said, "I can see why your brother chose to stay here."

"Yeah." He started away from the station, "I didn't get it at first. I mean, why would he want to stay in the city where he almost died?" He stopped, pointing at a three story building, "But this is where his dreams came true. He stopped crime. He helped people everyday. That's where his offices were located. He met his wife here."

I smiled, "That's pretty romantic. I hope I find a place like this someday, then."

I followed Tenya as he seemed to lose himself in thought. When he spoke again it was gentle, "You will. If I'm sure of anything, it's that there's a place out here that you'll make your own."

"Thanks." My smile disappeared as I watched him from the corner of my eye. Was he talking about a future he didn't see himself sharing in? Or maybe his future seemed uncertain while to him, mine seemed so bright and sunny? "You will too. You're a person that people will love."

He nodded, "Thank you for that. We are almost to our destination." He gestured at a cafe. "I'm very glad you could come here with me today."

I nodded, my smile returning. The cafe was a perfect picture of what a cafe should look like. It was a bright, sunny day, there were two little trees with ivy twisting artfully over them. The awning was long and striped in red and white, shading French double doors. One door was open, inviting, and the inside had a mix of humanity, all eating, drinking and talking together.

As we entered, though I'd never seen his brother before, I knew exactly who it was. Tenya and his brother looked so alike I giggled a little, "There they are. You two are so cute!"

"Huh?" He paused shooting me an astonished look, "Cute? Me and Tensei? No, I don't think so." His hand shot out in his quick chop and his ears pinked. I couldn't help but to giggle again. Yeah, he was definitely cute.

Tensei waved, and his wife smiled, standing to offer me a chair. Tenya quickly took it from her, pulling it out for me. I sat, and he tucked me in handily. "Tensei, Kazane-san, this is my friend Uraraka Ochaco-chan."

"Oh?" Tensei smiled at me, "It's nice to meet you, Uraraka-san." He elbowed Tenya with an even wider smile.

"She's my friend, as I believe I've stated." Tenya paled, "Just friends."

"Dear." Kazane grinned, "They're always like this. We've been dying to meet some of Tenya-kun's friends. It's very nice to meet you, may I call you Ochaco-chan?"

"Yes! Please, you too, Iida-san." I picked up my menu, "Do you meet here often?"

Tenya hummed an affirmative, "Every other Saturday, if there's nothing going on at school."

My menu was in French, although the descriptions were Japanese. "I have no idea what to order!"

Kazane skimmed her menu, "The tomato soup is to die for, Ochaco-chan."

"I always get the beef bourguignon, but I think you'll really like the French Onion soup, if you want something like that."

"You said Ochaco-chan likes sweets, right?" Tensei added, which made both Tenya and I blush.

"I- I may have mentioned it once. Once!"

"Of course." Tensei winked at me and I laughed, "Maybe once. Anyway, there's crepes, they'd be right up your alley. I'm going for the cassoulet."

"Crepes? I love crepes! Oooh, they do a ham, cheese and hollendaise. That sounds so good!"

We lunched and talked for what felt like half the day, enjoying each other's company. Tensei was a lighthearted soul and his wife was endlessly sweet. I felt a longing to go and see my own family, to bask in their love for a day. When Tenya announced that we'd better be getting back, I almost cried.

I sopped up the last of the strawberries and clotted cream with a chunk of pound cake. "I had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for making me feel so welcome."

"Anything for Tenya's..." Tensei shot his brother a look, "friend."

"Dear, really." Kazane chided her husband, "Leave it. It was a pleasure to meet you, too Ochaco-chan. Please come and meet with us again."

Tenya stood, coming around to pull my chair, "It was good to see you. Tell mom and dad hi for me, too."

We left the charming cafe, and walked slowly back to the train station. Tenya looked lost in thought, and I enjoyed the bustle of Hosu. "They mean well."

"Huh?"

"My brother, Kazane-san. They think I'm hiding my school life from them."

I shook my head, "I think they just like to see you happy. You should smile more often, it suits you."

He smiled then, "Thank you, Ochaco-chan. I mean it, I'm glad you came with me."

"It was a lovely, Tenya-kun. Maybe next time, we can go see my family."

"I'd like that."

AN/ The train is killing me. It takes 45 min for Midoriya to get to Kofu. It takes nearly 2 hours to get from Kofu to Shibuya. Somewhere on that line is Hosu City. So! Writer's magic keyboard! The breakfast thing will come up again! I love the idea that Bakugo can cook. (as a housewife, when my husband cooks, it's one of my favorite things) This one was hard. It gave me feels. It's too early for feels. In the manga, he doesn't have a wife (that we know of), but Tensei seemed like the kind of guy that would carry on his family's quirk. Please review! It would make my day! Also, I have gotten no requests yet! Don't be shy! I'm super nice.
