Today was the day, August's first day at UA. Right now he was with his mom making sure he had everything ready. They just had their usual huge breakfast. The absolute works.
"Ok ok, oneeee last check" persisted Sofia.
"Sigh Alright mama. Go through the list again" conceded August.
"Backpack?"
"Check"
"Notebooks?"
"Check"
"Super suit claim ticket?"
"Check"
"Student ID?"
"Check, that's it ma don't worry I'm good" he said slightly annoyed.
She sighed, "I know sweetie it's just, it's really happening." She smiled and put her hands on his shoulders "You're about to fly out of the nest on your own... *sniffle* I'm just so proud of you." Small tears roll down her cheeks, a motherly smile never leaving her face.
"M-mom, watcha crying for??" He pulls her in for a hug, "I'm gonna be amazing! You trained me to be the best and that's what I'm gonna go for. The best goddamn hero I can be, ain't nothing gonna stop me." He proclaimed confidently.
"I know sweetie..., now come on. You're gonna be late for school." With that they head out on their way. Heads full of hope of what to come.
At UA ...
August says goodbye to his mom after she drops him off. It was an incredible sight for him. All around where students of different shapes and sizes. Heck, he even saw a student with a lego piece for a head and another with a juice box! The best part about quirk society is the diversity really. 'Especially all this beautiful women' he thought bashfully.
The one that caught his eye the most was this beautiful and exotic looking girl. She was pink! Her eyes were black and her hair was short and pink too. She had horns sticking out of her head as well. Many people would call her appearance strange but to August she was beautiful.
'Oh well, what are the chances I get class with her, let alone actually talk to her.. whatevs' he thinks with a shrug. He had bigger things to worry about. Especially finding his classroom and making it to class on time, Mr. Aizawa does not seem like the very forgiving type. And he'd rather not get on his bad side so early on into the year.
*RINGGGGGGGGGG*
"SHIT THATS THE BELL" he yells out in panic. August rushes into the school trying to find his class, realizing that stopping at Dunkin' for a snack wasn't a great idea. Receiving amused looks from the passerby's around him.
In the classroom, Aizawa stands at the front of the class, covered in bandages from previous events at USJ. Recovery Girl says it could be a couple weeks before he can take them off, even with her healing, much to his dismay. He wasn't doing much hero work because of his teaching but now he can't do any at all, definetly a bit of a drag but he'll be fine.
"Listen up brats! I got a couple announcements to make so listen up or I'm expelling you." The class shuddered at the memory of the threat of expulsion on the first day. "As you know we said goodbye to Mineta before our break," a high pitched 'good riddance' was quickly shushed by a glare from Aizawa. "Anyway, we have a new student! He should be coming in any second now."
Gasps and whispers filled the class. Nobody really expected a new student to come in. It's pretty unheard of for UA to take in new students after the year started, sometimes a call up from gen ed but that's about it. Everyone was buzzing to meet the newbie.
"I hope it's a cute babe" said Denki
"Well I hope it's a big hunk" said Mina in a dreamy voice.
"I wonder if they're a straight forward person" croaked out Tsuyu.
"If they're a guy I hope they're MANLY" yells out kirishima hardening his arm.
"QUIET, stupid brats. They're here. Say hello to you're new classmate, who's late." He says with a scowl. August gives him a sheepish grin and stands in front of the class. All eyes are on him, some of curiosity, some of interest, one of anger, you can probably guess who that is.
'First impressions are the ones that matter August, just act cool and calm' thinks the currently shy boy. He's never talked in front of so many people before. He looks out into the crowd and locks eyes with... the stunning girl who lived next door to him???? There she was, sitting in her seat with a face as surprised as his. With a small blush on her face she gives him a small smile, which would seem meaningless to most but to him it kind of just lit things up, his nerves just kind of evaporated.
With a deep breath he started, "Hey guys, my names August Masayoshi. I hope we can all get along well, and watch out cause I'm here to be the best in the class, thank you." He says with a toothy smile. His words light up a competitive fire in the class and as he walks to the chair he was directed to by Mr. Aizawa, he hears murmurs of his classmates thanks to his enhanced hearing.
"Oh he's definetly a cutie~"
"What a MANLY introduction!"
"Over my fucking dead body is he gonna be the best"
"Oh wow he has to be taller than shoji"
"He's as big as you sato!"
"Erm... I wonder what his favorite type of pastry is..."
"That's what you're worried about????"
"Sparkle sparkle"
"What does that even mean?????"
After a second he just tunes it out, not really wanting to eavesdrop on his new classmates conversations. The empty chair sat behind a nervous looking green haired kid, next to a kid with a bird head and in front of... the beautiful he keeps on locking eyes with. Man is he a lucky ass bastard.
"Nice to finally meet you..." he says realizing he doesn't know her name.
"Momo, Momo yaoyorozu. You're the guy who moved next door to me right? The one who was watching me plant my flowers?" She says with a giggle. August blushed realizing he really was caught staring. It's not his fault, he's never seen a girl so beautiful. Well he's never seen another girl in person before period.
"I-I W-well I wouldn't say I was n-necessarily staring but-" noticing she was covering her mouth with her hand and letting out the cutest little laugh he's ever heard he just sighed and started over, "Yeah yeah that was me, sorry about that haha. And before you do you don't have to call me Masayoshi, please just call me August"
"Okay August we'll nice to meet you, you can call me Momo" she said with a smile. Aizawa then cleared his throat loudly. Annoyed that the class got so loud in a short time, hair and red eyes flaring up showing that. He calmed down once the class did.
"I wasn't finished... Anyway, some of you may know but there's a big event coming up. The UA sports festival." He declared coldly. Gasps could be heard through the classroom, plenty looks of confusion were present as well.
"A sporting event called the Olympics used to be the peak of sporting events. As you all know after the quirk boom, interest and participation of it dwindled, at least in Japan, it was replaced by the UA sports festival. I know what some of you may be thinking. If this is too soon after the events at USJ to do an event of this magnitude. But especially after that, security will be even more thick, and you should all use this as a chance to show what you're made of. Even more so because after this, the internships handed to you will be based off what the heroes and agencies see from you. Don't mess this up." He says menacingly. An uproar of conversation burst in the class. The future heroes motivated to do their best in the upcoming event. Momo was checking something on her phone so August decided to make some conversation with the kid in front of him.
"Hey, greenie, what's your thoughts on all that? I didn't really get it that much." He said with a chuckle, he's still getting used to hearing Japanese so frequently, he was pretty fluent he'd say but still needed to get used to it.
"M-Masayoshi! Oh yeah I can explain it if you want hehe." He nods furiously "o-okay so basically the sports festival is a yearly event for all the Students at UA to participate in. It's like a big tournament with a winner at the end to show off your quirk and for first years like us, it's a chance to be noticed by Heroes and agencies for our intership program." Says the green haired boy. "Oh and you can call me Midoriya, Masayoshi."
Still a pretty lengthy explanation but Midoriya speaks a bit more clear than Mr. Aizawa so he understood better. August was excited for sure, he has a naturally competitive spirit and a tournament was a great way to show off how he was the best. The prospect of being recruited by his favorite heroes was so good to him. Up to the move he was doing some quick reading on Japanese heroes, his favorites being Mirko, Death arms, Mt.Lady, Kamui Woods, and of course Endeavor and All Might. Especially Endeavor and Mirko, now that would be a dream.
"What's your quirk August?" Asked Midoriya, seemingly pulling a beat up looking notebook out of nowhere. Now this caught the attention of those around them. Quirks were a big thing to them considering they were in the Hero Course. Although August wasn't all too keen to share, the element of surprise is good one after all.
"I guess you guys are gonna have to wait a few days to find out hehe. What about you Tokayami? You sprout wings or sum?" Questioned August, seemingly trying to change the subject, and it seems to work. A couple people chuckle and Tokayami takes the bait, giving him a knowing look.
"Ha Ha very funny Masayoshi. My quirk is dark shadow." He says as a bird made out of shadow appears from behind him, giving a thumbs up and a wink. Pretty straight forward considering the name. "He can get stronger or weaker depending on the level of light. That is why the darkness is my domain..." He looks of to the side, adding dramatic effect to his words, also causing those listening to sweat drop.
"Hey you can't blame him Tokayami, that was a pretty good guess!" Cackled out Sero. He was quickly silenced by a bonk to the head courtesy of dark shadow. Now Tokayami and Midoriya were the ones laughing, even Momo let out a little laugh. August just sat there and smiled, maybe he'll be just fine.
The next couple of classes passed by fine enough. Much to August's dismay, Momo told him that they had no Hero classes today, since some of the teachers, namely All Might, were still absent for whatever reason. He was a little antsy to get some use his quirk but he'd manage. Most of the classes were fine, Japanese language was what was giving him the most trouble tho. He was able to learn all the names too, so that's a plus
*RINGGGGGGGGGH*
"Oh that's the lunch bell! See you August" says Midoriya. He goes with Iida and Uraraka, August makes a mental note that they seem close. After hearing his stomach grumble he admits to his hunger and gets up to go get something to eat. Momo opens her mouth to ask August to sit with her and Jirou for lunch, but Mina beats her to the punch.
"Hey Masayoshi! You wanna come eat lunch with me, kirishima, and Denki? Pretty please? It'll be fun!" She says happily, a wide vibrant smile on her face. A blush covered August's, since she got really close to him, she kinda smelled like cotton candy, it was nice.
"F-for sure! Sounds good Mina" he says with a chuckle. Mina winks at him as she drags him out the class, hinting she noticed the blush. He looked back at momo and she waved bye to him, a tinge of sad on her smile, he made a mental note to ask about that later. Momo looks on as Mina drags him out the class, a little too close if you ask her.
"Hey momo, you ready for lunch?" Asks Jirou as she walks over. She and Yaomomo are best friends, inseparable since they met. She's too embarrassed to admit it but she's way too grateful for Jirous friendship. She nods and smiles at her best friend, pushing her confusing feelings about August and Mina to the back of her head.
"You and the new kid seemed pretty cozy whispering during all our classes" said the music loving girl with a snicker, teasing her friend. It worked perfectly, Momo turned into a blushing stuttering mess, steam coming out of her head.
"W-w-what do you mean by that Jirou???? I-I-I mean he's g-great- NO I-I-" stutters out the busty girl, interrupted by Jirou laughing loudly at her. Momo was thanking god that everyone had already left the room, especially August. She doesn't know what she would've done if he heard all this.
After calming down a bit "Don't worry, you're just really fun to tease. I don't blame you either way, he's really cute" says Jirou with a shrug, she grabs her still red best friend and drags her to lunchroom. Poking fun at Momo was the best thing in her mind.
They sat at their usual table and got out there lunch. Jirou started talking about how one of her favorite bands was having a concert soon but Momo wasn't really hearing any of it. She instead was more focused on August and Mina. He was sitting with Kirishima, Mina and Denki. They were laughing about whatever they could be talking about. Mina was sitting a little too close if you asked her.
"Eh? Earth to Momooo, you even listening?" Question Jirou, raising an eye brow while she twirls her ear jack around her finger.
"Huh? O-oh sorry Jirou. I was just a little distracted is all" she says sheepishly. Jirou gives her a skeptical look but just shrugs it off and keeps on talking. Momo shakes It off and just listens to what her friend has to say, trying to ignore her not-jealousy.
August sat at the table laughing with his new friends. They were pretty energetic and a little intense but he loved that. He thrived in the high energy vibe. Denki was just funny, always made him laugh, which isn't too hard since August laughs pretty easily but don't tell him that, his pride can't take it. Kirishima is so bombastic and positive, his constant use of tough and manly was pretty on character. In August's eyes, Mina was just amazing, her laugh was incredible to listen to. Her personality was big and loud and so happy, not to forget how hot she was. The way she moved and composed herself was just mesmerizing for him. It helped that she seemed to want to be close to him, he assumes he's probably imaging things.
The rest of the day goes by pretty uneventful. Regular classes that were a little boring. He was able to submit his hero suit claim ticket though, he should get it in about a week or so. August packs up his stuff while he gets a text.
Mama : Hey sweetie, I'm running late on some errands so I can't pick you up, sorry!
Me: Alrights it's fine mom, I'll txt you when I'm home
Mom: xoxoxo
August let's out a sigh realizing he'll have to figure out a way to get home. Maybe the bus or train but he's never taken them before and he doesn't want to get lost. While he think he overhears Momo talking on the phone.
"Oh you're outside already? Okay I'm on my way out" she says into her phone as she hangs up. She grabs her bag and her scarf and gets up to leave but August stops her.
"Hey momo, this might be a big favor but my mom just cancelled on me and I need a ride home. You live next door so hopefully it's not too much of a inconvenience?" He says with a big smile, as if it was to help convince her to help him. Luckily for him, Momo learned then and there that she is a sucker for his smile. Plus she'd gladly take extra time to talk to him.
"There's no problem at all August, my chauffeur is outside and it's best not to keep him waiting" she says as she continues along and walks out of the class quickly, trying to hide her blush while the tall boy follows behind her.
The sit in the back of the car in silence for a little while. August because he's enjoying the view outside the window and Momo because she's a little shy and doesn't know what to say. Luckily for her he breaks the ice.
"So what's your quirk Momo?" He says as he looks over to the girl.
"Oh! My quirk is called Creation. I can create any non-living object by using my fat cells. Basically, I can make anything I want, as long as I know how it's made and what it's made of. It's pretty useful, and I can come up with all sorts of useful things on the fly!" She says enthusiastically, eyes brighting up as she explains. "Watch this" she says with a wink. She then open up her palm and small hand towel with beautiful detail comes out in a shining light.
"Woah that's so cool!! You really are super smart, remembering all those items" He says hyped. Comical stars replacing where his eyes once were. His enthusiasm making Momo blush.
She lets out a giggle "Yeah it's pretty handy at times. What's your quirk August?" She says expectantly. She tilts her head a bit to the side, hoping this time he'd say what it was, since it was just them two.
August let's out a sigh "Since it's just us to I'll tell you" she nods quickly, smiling that it worked, "my quirk is called Reactor, basically my cells are all little nuclear reactors that produce a type of energy unique to me and my mom, it doesn't emit much radiation for a human to notice so don't worry. Basically I can channel that energy to do different things, if I channel them to my arms or legs it'll boost my strength and my jump/running ability, I can release the energy from my hand to shoot out a small in range but strong energy wave, and I can reinforce myself in a pinch. Theoretically I can shoot it out my eyes or even fly but I haven't gotten there yet haha. Main downside is, like a normal nuclear reactor, after excesivo usage or big moves I overhear and I need to cool off. My body cools off natural blowing steam out my pores but there's a couple things in my hero suit that are going to help with that." Finished August, trying his best to explain this complex quirk.
"Oh my god August that quirk is incredibly strong!" She says with a hand on her surprised mouth. So many thoughts running through her head, how strong does he get? How far can he jump? Are there any limits to what he can do with the quirk?
"That's truee but don't tell anyone yet! I want to keep my element of surprise for the sports festival, I'm going to win that you know" he says with a laugh, snapping his ride buddy out of her daze.
"Oh really now?" Said Momo smiling with an eye brow raised up, "Don't think just because you're cute im gonna go easy on you" she says confidently, until she realized what she actually said and turned into a blushing stuttering mess again. "W-w-wait I didn't mean c-cute, we'll you are cute but, no wait, I-I-I I'll just shut up now.." she says embarrassed, hiding in her corner of the car, her hands covering her red face.
August sat there a blushing mess too, too stunned to speak really. A girl as gorgeous as Momo called him cute??? Every guys dream really, and if it isn't they need to check themselves for mental illness. They sat there too shy to say anything else for the next couple minutes until they got to their neighborhood.
Still blushing, they got out the car to go home, "I-I'll see you tomorrow August." She says with a sweet smile as she quickly walks to her house. All he could really muster was a smile as he happily runs back home, excited for what's to come.
