"Okay, that was so mean," Toru whined as she flopped on the girl's locker room bench. "That old man tricked us."
"That was not very nice at all, ribbit," Tsu added, groaning as she struggled to remove her costume. She was very grateful when Momo helped her slip it off her shoulders. "I felt sorry for him. Now I can't wait to kick him into next week…wait, is this how I become a villain."
The others started to laugh, "No, this is where we hold a grudge against every old person who asks for help," Mina said.
"Do you truly need help, or are you going to kick us for getting too close," Kyoka added.
The thought of them as pro-heroes running around assaulting and being afraid of elderly citizens flooded all their minds as they began to laugh. "Did you guys recognize him?" Momo said. "I noticed that when he came out, Mina seemed to be praying, and you, Ochaco, looked like you had found the man that murdered your kitten."
The others looked at their two classmates. "We knew him," Mina said as she finally managed to get out of her pants and sat on the bench, holding her ribs.
"Not fucking cool; you should have warned us," Kyoka said, throwing her costume into the locker and groaning as she grabbed a towel.
"We couldn't and ruin the surprise. Besides, if one of you had gone first, we would have," Ochaco said as she turned and pleaded with Mina to unhook her bra.
"How did you meet someone so evil?" Tsu asked.
"Izuku did something stupidly brave and heroic," Ochaco grabbing her shower kit, "As a reward, we got to train with that old codger for a bit."
"That is one shitty reward," Kyoka said.
"What did he do?" Toru asked as they all started to walk towards the showers.
"He ran into a burning building to save a mother and son," Mina answered, "He almost got crushed, but obviously, he was saved."
"Wow," Tsu said. "that was very brave and kind of stupid." Tsu smiled at Ochaco, who grinned back.
"If you ever want to know about my Izuku, that sums him up perfectly. Very brave and wonderful with that dash of stupidity that makes you want to wallop him," Mina nodded. "But I wouldn't want him any other way." Ochaco smiled. "Do you guys want to come over to our place after school? We can study and maybe hang out and eat dinner together?"
Ochaco and Mina were smiling as they stepped into the hot shower for the chorus of approvals from their classmates.
Izuku
Izuku had emerged from the showers and was getting dressed when Bakugo emerged, "Hey, did you know that old man?"
"Gran Torino? Yes, I knew who he was," Izuku smiled.
"How did you meet him?" Bakugo said. "And why didn't you warn anyone?"
"I had to learn the same way you did," Izuku smirked. "Why would I rob anyone else of that fun? You caught on."
"Only because your group was acting so weird," Bakugo said. Izuku noticed that as soon as he opened his locker, he pulled out a gold necklace with a dolphin pendant at the end. He was cautious with it; Izuku didn't say anything as he dressed. "I can't wait to go another round with that old goat!" Katsuki said, punching his fist.
"I will warn you that he was taking it easy," Izuku said. Bakugo looked at him, shocked. "It gets worse, but you will be better for it."
"What the fuck," Katsuki muttered as he got dressed.
Once Eijiro emerged, they both saw the text from Mina and Ochaco that the girls were coming over to study and hang out. "Grill?" Eijiro asked.
"We have that meat marinating that my dad told me about," Izuku said, grinning.
"Bruh, I am down for some Mexican," Eijiro grinned. "We should grab a few more pounds just in case. I am going to invite Tetsu," Eijiro fired off a text, as Izuku suggested that Mina and Ochaco invite Ibarra and Itsuka.
The girls all decided to take the train while Tetsu met the boys at the car so they could go to the store to pick up enough food for everyone.
The house was full of laughter when they entered, as all the girls had arrived and were taking a home tour. Momo was delighted and immediately called her parents about the apartment across the hall. Ibarra blushed as the girls teased Ochaco about her and Izuku's bedroom. The night was pleasant. Watching all the friendships being built made him smile; of course, he was having fun showing off his patio and grill to Tetsu. He was standing on the balcony while Carne Asada was grilling, Ochaco and the girls were all in the kitchen as Ochaco was preparing the rice, and Mina was handling the Guacamole; the girls were laughing and having fun as they were pressing the tortillas.
He heard his father saythese are the moments you come back to and the ones you fight for.
I get that, Izuku responded. I want more of this with more of our class around.
Then you work for it. You get a hold of it and never let go. In time after school, you will drift apart some as life takes over, but it just takes effort to bring it back together and to hold onto it. Mr. Tracy's words drifted in his head.
Is that why you have been so silent?Izuku wondered.
As I said, that is just part of life, my son; just because we don't talk doesn't mean we are not thinking about each other,Mr. Tracy replied.Even if I am gone, you will still be able to hear me; when my father passed, I would talk to him all the time. I could imagine his words and tone of voice; they were comforting.
Will you be gone someday? Or will you be a part of me forever with One for All?Izuku said as the thought caused an ache to well up inside of him.
I didn't merge with One For All; it just changed how things are up here, but we don't know how or why I came to be in your head. I am sure there will be a time for me to go, Mr. Tracy said softly.
But…Izuku protested.
Death is a part of life, son, a complex and terrible part that, no matter when or how, is never easy to grapple with that person no longer being around physically but only part of our memories, Mr. Tracy said.Just because I leave you…
Doesn't mean you love me any less,Izuku said, wiping a tear.
Exactly son.
After a hearty dinner, which their guest enjoyed quite a bit, the boys left them to go to Eijiro's room to do their homework, leaving the girls to enjoy themselves in the living room. Momo called for a car to take them all home. The girls hugged and were excited about the next day of school. They thanked Izuku and Eijiro for their hospitality, and Tetsu was dragged out with them to head home.
While the boys got ready, Mina and Ochaco didn't even mind the clean-up; Izuku was lying in bed waiting for Ochaco.
"Thank you for making tonight so wonderful," she called from the bathroom.
"No problem, it was fun," Izuku called back. "I would like to do it again once we learn more about the class. The girls all seemed to have a good time. Did you notice how Itsuka and Mina were flirting?"
"Oh yeah," Ochaco responded. "She denied it, but she is totally into that girl. You're not too tired, are you."
"No, I feel good; why…" his voice trailed off as he turned to see her come walking out of the bathroom.
Ochaco was standing there nearly naked if you count the Nekomimi and matching gloves or the tail that was hanging down, and Izuku saw no straps holding it in place. "You were so wonderful, meow," Ochaco said to him. "I just wanted to show you how thankful I am, meow. Unless my darling Sire doesn't want to explore the last part of me."
Izuku gulped as she twirled around for him, showing exactly how the tail was being held in place. "I am so hot for you, Izuku. I am in heat, and you are the only one to put out my fire," Ochaco crawled seductively onto the bed. "Meow," she whispered.
Ochaco just surrendered to Izuku, letting him fuck her every way in every hole, and she would beg him for more, begging him for just one more load, her body covered in sweat and liquids as he plundered her pussy and ass for hours. Her favorite was that he would fuck her pussy and then have her suck him off, though anal sex was right behind that one. She had been loosening herself up in preparation for him to take her that way and found that it gave her an intense orgasm. Tonight was even better. They didn't bother with a shower. After removing the sheets from the bed, they did that when they woke up and remade it with fresh laundry. Of course, she had him fuck her again in the shower, they were running late, but thankfully, Mina and Eijiro had seen to breakfast; the way Mina looked at him with that Chesire grin made him blush.
Day Three
As they pulled into the parking lot, they saw a crowd of reporters at the main gate. A few camped at the vehicle entrance, but most couldn't get close enough to harass anyone; that didn't stop them from shouting questions about All-Might or taking photos. They saw Momo standing there waiting for them; she smiled brightly and waved when she saw them pull up.
"That girl is too precious," Mina giggled. It made it even better for Ochaco and Mina when they saw Momo wonder and falter at how to greet them. Mina ended that by just hugging Momo and wishing her good morning. Ochaco did the same; that smile would have powered U.A. for a month. She quickly told the group that her parents were happy to hear she was making friends and that they agreed to let her view the apartment, and if she liked it, she would buy it.
"Well, you are the heir to the Yaoyorozu corporation after all," Izuku said smiling; Momo blushed.
"That doesn't bother you all, I hope," Momo said, fidgeting.
TOO CUTE! They thought.
"No, why would that bother us," Ochaco said.
"Yeah, you had to test to get in like the rest of us, and despite being rich, you want to be a hero," Eijiro added. "That is amazing, Momo."
"Thank you all," Momo said, her hand resting over her beating heart. "I was afraid that I would not be able to make friends here in the U.A., and to have made so many so soon is just like a dream." Momo smiled and welcomed the hug from the girls. "Izuku, where did you learn to cook like that?"
"What we ate last night was my father," Izuku said, smiling. "He knows his way around the kitchen fairly well and has more traditional food than my mother."
"Well, pass him my compliments," Momo said with a slight bow.
"I promise I will," Izuku said as they made their way to class.
When they arrived, they heard from the other class members that they had to almost fight through all the reporters.
"I was almost crushed till Mr. Aizawa saved me," Toru lamented. "Did they bother you guys?"
"No, we drive in. There were a few at the entrance, but they were blocking the road, so we just ignored them," Mina said playfully, patting Toru's arm; she was proud to have found it on her first try.
"If they are out again tomorrow, I will hide in your trunk!" Toru pouted.
Once class began, the first order of business, according to Mr. Aizawa, was the election of class officials, and they resolved to do it democratically. Ochaco was surprised when she won the president role, and Momo was elected vice president. The girls split their vote amongst the two, and Izuku and Eijiro also voted for Ochaco.
After some speeches, Mr. Aizawa remerged from his sleeping bag, "Now, class, we are going to focus these first two periods on your trial from yesterday." He smiled at the groan. "I have to admit I didn't expect All-Might to be so underhanded on his first day; it warms my heart just a bit. Never underestimate your opponent; if you do that, you end up dead! Now, Katsuki, what made you decide to attack?"
"It seemed like Midoriya, Uraraka, Kirishima, and Ashido recognized that old man, and I was in the testing ground with Uraraka, and if she was wary of him, then there had to be more than meet the eye," Katsuki said.
Ochaco raised an eyebrow at his answer. "Yes, I have seen her footage as well as yours, so that was a good catch," Aizawa said. "When you went into pursuit, Ida, your first mistake was leaving your back up too far behind; Gran Torino used that to score two points before Bakugo could drive him off. Now, scouting ahead with your quirk is going to be a necessary thing. Still, you must be careful about chasing an unknown with a maneuverability advantage and a possible speed advantage considering the terrain."
Their high from reviewing their heroics class was brought down when Present Mic came in and began his lecture on Shakespeare; he then dropped the bomb on them that they would have to perform scenes from different plays in front of the class next week. And they would have to put on a complete play from the Bard for their final exam in front of the school!
Ochaco was paired with Mezo, Mina, to her glee, drew Toru, Eijiro, and Bakugo, and Izuku was paired with Kyoka. They were given the infamous balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet. Momo had the honor of being paired with Koda, who looked about to feint for various reasons.
When the bell called for lunch, they all made their way out of the class. Kyoka was being teased about having to be Juliet, but then everyone started laughing when Izuku volunteered to play Juliet. "That is not as odd of a choice as you would think; in his time, many of women's roles were played by men," Tenya added, increasing the laughter.
The table was complete as they were all talking and having a good time; Eijiro sat next to Bakugo so they could start talking about when they could get together to work out the scene. When the alarm suddenly blared over the intercom system.
"THIS IS A LEVEL THREE ALERT; THIS IS A LEVEL THREE ALERT; ALL STUDENTS ARE TO MOVE TO THEIR DESIGNATED EVACUATION AREA. ALL STUDENTS, PLEASE PROCEED TO YOUR DESIGNATED EVALUATION AREA. THIS IS NOT A DRILL, WE REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL."
When the alarm went off, they all jumped to their feet. The siren made Kyoka wobble and nearly feel, only for Izuku to catch her as they, like the others, were working out a time for her to come over or vice versa. Tenya and Tsu were up against the window and shouted that it was just press. Ochaco sprang into action, negating her gravity; grabbing a bull horn from Momo, she floated above the exit sign.
"EVERYONE CALM THE HELL DOWN!" Years of having to get people's attention on a construction sight came in handy. "IT IS JUST THE DAMN PRESS; THEY HAVE BYPASSED THE BARRIERS, NOW QUIT ACTING LIKE A BUNCH OF CHICKENS WITH YOUR HEADS CUT OFF AND ACT LIKE YOU HAVE A PAIR! WE ARE U.A. STUDENTS DAMN IT, ACT LIKE IT."
Once everyone calmed down, they all began to file out of the cafeteria. Kyoka was a bit red-faced as Izuku kept her steady so she didn't fall; she tried to walk independently and nearly fell. Ochaco, once she landed, started checking on their class, calling out instructions that got them all together and accounted for before they left the cafeteria.
They were left out in the evacuation area while the school was swept; it was a bit tense at first until Mina called out to Itsuka, calling the girl over. Itsuka, a bit flushed, came walking over with false confidence along with another girl from 1-B. She had dusky green hair and eyes, pointy teeth, and a mischievous grin; she was introduced as Setsuna Tokage. To the group's surprise, Momo stepped up and greeted Set warmly; Momo explained that Setsuna had been part of the recommended exam. It seemed that once there was no objection to the two going over, Tetsu and Ibarra soon joined them.
Setsuna seemed to have energy similar to Mina, and soon, she summoned the rest of 1-B to mingle. Only one class member appeared to be against the idea; a young man of average height had short, slick blond hair styled in a right-side part with his bangs hanging over his right eye. His eyes are periwinkle blue and slanted downwards towards the far sides of his face, usually half-closed. He wore a strange smirk, tilting his head, giving him a rather contemptuous look.
"We should not associate with such inferior hero course students; their proximity may be enough to drain some of our excellence!" He protested even as he was walking over. "It wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't the very reason they are trying to get their hooks into members of our class. We must be ever vigilant!"
"Or you can stay over there by yourself?" said a young man with short brown hair spiked up at odd angles on his head; he had large oval-shaped eyes. His name was Kosei; he was talking with Tetsu and Eijiro. "Don't mind Neito. He is a bit strange, but so far, he is a good guy, a little too hung up on class rivalry."
One of the members of 1-B, a girl with shoulder-length black hair cut in a bob shape, swept to her right with a few strands hanging above her eyes, was focused on Katsuki. She had fair skin, an athletic build, and beautiful cerulean eyes. Katsuki could feel the stare when he turned and looked at the girl. She didn't break eye contact but maneuvered through the crowd and walked right up to him.
"Your Katsuki Bakugo," Yui said.
"And?" Katsuki said warily. When Yui had walked off, it did not go unnoticed as A short girl with a round face and a short, horse-like muzzle had thick, wavy blonde hair that reached halfway down her back, with shorter bangs hanging down her forehead. Her eyes are large and round, with a Prussian blue color, and she has a pair of tall, lyre-shaped pale tan horns on her head. Her calves are notably rounded, similar to those of a horse, and she has brown hooves and a short horse tail poking out from the end of her tailbone. Her name was Pony, but when she saw Yui approaching Bakugo, she was surprised and stopped, not wanting to intrude.
Pony turned and bumped into Tenya, "My apologies," Pony said, flustered, bowing and forcing Tenya to step back.
"Do not worry," Tenya said. "It is a pleasure to meet a member of 1-B. I am Tenya Ida."
"Pony Tsunotori," Pony said with a smile. "If you are not bothered, would it be alright if we converse? My Japanese is not the best, but practice will improve me."
Tenya adjusted his glasses. "I would be honored to assist a fellow student in improving." Pony's eyes brightened, and she couldn't stop smiling. Tenya began to give her lessons.
Katsuki and Yui
"I," Yui began to say but stopped. "I knew Suijin."
Katsuki's eyes went wide. "Are you Yui?"
Yui nodded, "She talked about you, and I remember you at the funeral."
Katsuki's eyes softened, "I remember her talking about you as well; she said the two of you were friends."
"She was my best friend," Yui said, a bit sad. "I was injured in the same accident, but after, I was sent to a different place to rehab. I couldn't visit as often as I liked, but we texted or talked daily. She spoke about you quite a bit; you were a good friend to her. I am glad that she wasn't alone while she was here."
"Suijin, she was amazing," Katsuki said, a slight tremble in his voice. "She made me a better person than I could have ever been without her. Have you recovered?"
"I have, thank you, but Suijin had that ability to see past the outside to the inside of someone," Yui said, smiling. "There was this boy in our class, his name was Ruzo. He was mean and gruff to everyone, but Suijin would still go by his desk, smile, and tell him good morning. Every day, he would ignore her initially, but soon he would respond, under his breath,…" Yui giggled. "Then, during the festival, Suijin walks right up and asks him to do something, and the room goes quiet."
"And he got up and did it," Katsuki said, smiling. "I bet the guy grumbled something but did it anyway."
Yui laughed, "Exactly! She would have him holding stuff and helping out all the time leading up to the festival. Sending him to help the other groups carry things, not just for our class but for other classes. The more she worked him, the more he came out of his angry shell; by the end of the festival, he was smiling."
"That is just how Suijin was," Katsuki laughed. "First time I met her, I was just a total piece of shit, and she smacked me with her IV pole; right in the head."
Yui and him were laughing like a couple of idiots. "I miss her so much," Yui said.
"God, I do as well," Katsuki replied. "Have you had a chance to pay your respects?"
"No, not yet. I was hoping to do so this weekend," Yui answered.
"If you like, I would be honored to escort you to the site," Katsuki said. "If it's not too much, maybe you can share some stories about her?"
"I would like that," Yui said. "I would like that very much." Yui held her hand and showed Katsuki a gold ring with a dolphin with aquamarine eyes. Katsuki pulled the necklace out. Yui began to tear up, and she just stepped in and hugged Katsuki, who was shocked but hugged her back.
Yui and Katsuki broke apart, though they didn't say anything more; they just stood beside each other until the all-clear was given to return to class. Yui stopped and just held out her phone. Katsuki pulled him, and they tapped together, smiling as the day continued.
Otherworld
"Are you okay there, Tracy?" Nana asked.
"Yeah," Mr. Tracy replied. "I just felt something weird. I think that the time is coming soon."
"I'm sorry," Nana said.
"Don't be," Mr. Tracy replied. "I got to experience a world that was only a dream in my old life, meet a wonderful kid, and feel like I made a difference. I wish I got to see how the story ends, though."
"You did make a difference," Nana said, slipping her arms around the shoulder.
"Take care of him, Nana," Mr. Tracy said, his voice breaking. "Take care of my son."
"I will, I swear," Nana said as she comforted him.
