"I-zuu-KUUUUU!"

"Ah?" Midoriya uttered before skidding onto his floor platform came Hado who launched straight towards him. The fronts of their bodies slammed and pressed against each other as her arms looped under his to wrap and squeeze his body like a giant teddy bear. "Ehhh?!"

"Hiiiii!" The third year beamed with her toothy smile, completely ignoring the entire hallway of looks and expressions directed towards them. "It's good to see you again!"

"H-Hi, Nejire." The first year chattered, not oblivious to the entire hallway of jealous and bloodthirsty looks that were given to him by every boy in the vicinity. He shuddered underneath the rain of swords that wanted to pierce his heart, even more when Hado squeezed harder to bring them closer. "Good to s-see you too. Uh, can we not hug in front of everybody please?"

"Hmm?" The girl hummed while looking up to Midoriya's colorless face. "Why?"

"U-Um..."

"Tch."
"Punk shit."
"Hrmmm."
"Slimy little fuck."

"...PDA...that's all."

"Hey hey! Were you planning on going somewhere right now?"

"Back to my dorm but that can wait if need be. Why?"

"Come on!" Hado dropped her embrace on the first year to take hold of his right hand with both of hers, dragging him towards the staircase with silly little hops. "Let's go somewhere for just the two of us, got something I wanna talk with you about!"

"Okay then, lead the way."

Leading the first year by his hand Hado guided the two of them down the stairs to the first floor, not giving a care about what anybody may feel or express about the passing couple. For Midoriya it was the exact opposite as the weight of every judgemental and jealous look that was given crushed and compressed down onto his chest as if an anvil was dropped from the skies. But was he going to allow the judging views and envious expressions to derail the train of emotions that had a brick strapped to the lever?

Absolutely not. For this was a dream turned reality that he won't allow anybody to ruin, jealousy be damned. For today was the first day in which he as awoken to a new chapter in his life, a chapter which he never thought he'd be writing down and no less with the girl of his heart. Nejire Hado, third year. Core member of the Big 3, school princess. His one and only girlfriend.

Waking up this morning felt lucid, nothing in his life could have ever pointed to the signs that he would wake up to notifications from his phone that weren't 'Device is now fully charged'. No what he got this morning was a notification full of love, notification full of happiness, and a notification that put the sun in a sunny morning.

Nejire: Good morniiiiiiing !!!!

How's that for breakfast.

Upon witnessing the text message he swore that he was still dreaming, a good five minutes of nonstop pinching himself surely must have been enough to wake him up from the sweet clutches of a dream. But with every pinch came the sting of truth, the sting that yes, he did in fact receive a good morning text from somebody who loved him. Yes, he did in fact receive a confession from that same person on the rooftop yesterday afternoon. Yes, he did in fact also receive a kiss from that same person to cement and establish their new relationship with each other. Yes, he is in fact awake, nothing was a hallucination or a trick of his mind. He is in fact, happy.

It wasn't the library that Hado dragged the student to but rather, outside on the campus lawn where the grass was trim proper and a fresh color of green, a tall and large tree standing grand by itself a good twenty yards off the path. Bringing the two of them underneath the tree's shade the girl released his hand to then remove her backpack off her shoulders and sling it to the side before planting her back against the trunk of the tree and sliding down to sit. Her knees angled to a slight ramp, a hand patting over the top of her thighs with an inviting smile. "Come on, it'll be a lot more comfortable for you this way."

"Uh, okay. If you insist." Midoriya also removed his backpack from his shoulders to place it next to his girlfriend's, stepping over to where she sat and turning his back towards her. Dropping onto his butt he shifted himself to have the perfect position of simply laying down onto his back and have the back of his head plop over her thighs, having the perfect perpendicular view of Hado's face that smiled down at him. Fingers dug into the soft of his hair and began to ruffle through it, a smile of his own curling as he melted at the hand play. "Thanks Nejire."

"Don't mention it. I know we're a couple and all but, I have to ask heh. C-Can I kiss you again? It felt really, REALLY good last time."

Midoriya nodded as Hado made a giddy little sound like a child being granted the ability to pick something from a candy store, the third year brushing her hair behind her left ear and leaning downwards. Just like yesterday the two pressed for a kiss, both of their noses taking a deep inhale of sweet air that tasted like no other. The kiss was tingling and heart warming, their lips pursing before breaking off from each other. A moment's pause was given before Hado squealed in happiness and kicked her feet out of joy, Midoriya chuckling at how a simple kiss can make one feel so electrified. Then again, he too feels the same way.

"A-AH SORRY sorry." Hado apologized as she continued to brush through his hair. "Did I make your head bounce? Sorry just, OOOOH I'm just so excited! We're dating, we're really really dating!"

"Yeah hmph, we are dating. I'll be honest waking up this morning didn't feel real to me, felt like I was still dreaming and I didn't wanna wake up."

"I KNOW RIGHT? I kept pinching myself to see if it really was a dream but it isn't. And then I got really happy when it wasn't a dream it's a real thing that's happening now and I'm really excited for it! But..."

"But?"

"M-Mmm...It's nothing. Just a silly little thing that doesn't mean that much heh. We can worry about that later. For now though, I brought you out here cause I wanna talk with you about something Izuku. Something I feel like I wanted to establish now instead of later in case something goes wrong."

"What is it?"

"I...wanna establish some rules here if you don't mind." Hado admitted. "I know that might sound bad, or controlling even but I promise they're not anything too bad I pinky promise. They're just little rules that I feel like could help make this thing run smoother between us."

"Okay sure, let's hear them."

"Okie-dokie, here they are.

Rule number one: If at any point you decide to leave campus for any reason at all, I wanna know. I know this one sounds like I'm trying to keep tabs on your location at all times to make sure you're not hanging out with a girl or something but the reason I wanna know this kind of thing is because if something goes wrong and you're in need of help, I already know where you are. That way I can get to you quickly without having to worry about finding you. And the same's gonna go for me okay? If I leave the school to go hang out with Yuyu or something, I'll tell you.

Rule number two: If it isn't anything tooooo personal? Maybe we should try to come to each other first for an issue before anything else. I feel like if we start with the little things of our problems, it can help us work our way up to the bigger things in the future. Like uhhh, like maybe we have trouble, figuring out what kinda clothes would like good on us when we're going out or something. Yuyu for the most part handles the clothing during the beauty pageants so my taste in fashion isn't really that special. But I'll help you either way, cause if your own girlfriend thinks it looks good on you then who cares what the rest of the world thinks right heh?...Hopefully.

And last but definitely not least, the most imporant rule of all. Rule number three: Let's not allow this to change anything about us. I still wanna hang out with you at the library after school, I still wanna go to the candy shop with you every Friday, I still wanna draw I still wanna do everything that we did together before. Except you know, we're dating now hm-hm. I don't want anything to feel like it has to be anymore special than it is just because we're a thing now, I want it to be natural like breathing. I don't want anything between us to change in even the slightest.

Got it? Rule one I wanna know where you go, rule two we should come to each other for problems so that we can work our way up to the bigger things, and rule three nothing should change when we hang out together. Three little rules that's all I ask."

"That's all huh? Mm doesn't seem so-"

"A-AND-AND, rule number four."

"Hm?"

"Every day um..." Hado blushed with an index finger perpendicular across her lips. "E-Every day I wanna, wanna kiss. Just one...maybe two...okay maybe a lot but at least one kiss a day it's mandatory."

Midoriya smirked. "Even if that wasn't a rule I'd think that would be something I'd do everyday regardless. Have you told anyone about this?"

"Yuyu knows, and Snipe knows. I still have to tell Mirio and Tamaki about this but I think I'll do that later this evening."

"Why would Snipe of all people know about this kind of thing?"

"Cause he's fun. Once you get to your third year or if you really get the chance to speak with him Snipe's super duper fun, he's like everybody's cool uncle. When Yuyu and I told him about why I was going up to the roof he asked why and I told him I was planning to confess to you up there. Then when we came back down from the roof and you said you had to go back to your dorm before you passed out again, Snipe came out from his room and asked if it happened and I told him yes."

"Ohhhhh. That's why he, OHHHHHHHH. Huh. Now I know."

"What about you? Do any of your friends know about this?"

Midoriya nervously chuckled. "As of right now? No, I haven't told anyone about this. Being honest I'm not sure who to even begin with when it comes to spilling the beans. I'm sure I'll figure it out sometime soon. Either that or somebody will hear or see something and when that happens? Hmph. No point in bothering to say anything myself."

"True, word does spread pretty quickly around this school. Wouldn't be surprised if one of your classmates sprung this on you out of the blue. Hey, Izuku? Now that we're a thing, can we talk about something that I've been thinking about for a while?"

"Sure what is it?"

"Let's talk about our kids."

"WHAT?!"

Hado giggled to the first year's eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. "I'm kiddinnnng! I just wanted to see what kind of reaction you'd have, thankfully it was a freaking out kind cause if you said anything about continuing that conversation I would have freaked out instead. It's too soon."

"WAYYYY too soon heh, yeah...Well if you don't have anything to say, can I say something instead?"

"Always."

"Being honest with you, now that the rush of what my life had turned into is over and I'm here in the moment? I'm not really sure how I feel about you being the one to confess to me. Because before you confessed, I-I was actually planning on confessing to you myself."

"Really?"

"Yeah." Midoriya admitted. "That's what I wanted to do at least but, I didn't really know how to go about doing it. For the entire day yesterday leading up to us being on the roof I knew I just KNEW, I wanted to confess to you. I couldn't handle the amount of flutter feelings in my stomach that made me feel weird I couldn't handle the thought of letting somebody else be with you I just couldn't handle the pins and needles that pricked my skin whenever you did something anything to me in general. I couldn't handle it anymore, and I wanted to confess to you even if I believed there wasn't a chance anything could happen between us.

But, I didn't really know how to go about doing it. I wasn't sure if it was best that I told you up front to your face or invite you out to go somewhere and plan out this romantic little event then tell you or a game or something. I didn't know. And for the entire day it was bothering me because I feel like whatever method I decided to come up with might feel lackluster or bland no matter how much thought I put into it. Every path I took led to a fork in the road, and every fork in the road led to a path that led to ANOTHER fork in the road. Just, all these thoughts and feelings of wanting to make it special for you bogging me down in the mud.

Then the confession happens and, at the time I felt a huge weight be removed from me it almost felt like I was about to float upwards like a balloon and not stop until I hit the very top of the atmosphere. But now that it's happened and the rush is over, I kinda feel a little bit down for not being able to make a special confession for you."

"Oh Izuku." Hado smiled while she patted the boy's head like he were a cat. "You don't have to feel bad about not being able to make a special confession for me. Even if you came up to me and just admitted that you wanted to go out with me I would have said yes regardless, I don't care about anything fancy or over the top. I only care about the both of us being able to be happy with each other. Plus, let's not make this a contest either. Let's not make it a 'Oh who can do this better than them' or 'Oh they got something better for their anniversary compared to them' like no let's not have any of that. It can be simple, it can be basic, it can be the most standard form of anything that you wanna give. I'll still love it all the same."

"Really?"

"Absolutely."

Midoriya half-chuckled and half-smiled as he felt a huge block of concrete remove itself from his chest and allow him to breathe easier, settling into a more comfortable spot on Hado's lap while looking up to the leaves above. How silly of him to worry so much considering who his girlfriend was, what was he thinking? He should have known better than to overthink about the level of impact that he wanted the confession to be. Then again, he has only himself to blame for going through the internet and searching up ways on how to confess to a loved one. From confessing at the top of a ferris wheel to a treasure hunt leading to a location that held the most importance to them, so many scenarios and situations played out in his head he had no idea which of them to choose from when the answer was right there in front of him.

Simple. Basic. Most standard form of anything. It would be loved all the same.

"Izuku?"

"Hm?"

"Do you wanna go do something as a celebration?" Hado asked. "I'm thinking...ice cream. A banana split with hot fudge syrup and sprinkles."

"A banana split to celebrate being in a relationship for the first time?" Midoriya chuckled. "I think I'd be okay with that. Oh uh hang on."

The first year reached into his right pocket to pull out his phone, holding the device over his face as his left fingers tapped against the screen.

BZZZT*

The girl hummed as her own phone vibrated in a right pocket of her uniform vest, removing the hand that patted his hair to slip out her phone. Illuminating her screen was a text message that she double tapped with a thumb to open and read.

Izuku: Hey, I'm going out to an ice cream place to celebrate being in a relationship with somebody special. Had to let you know.

"Sorry, just had to let my girlfriend know that I'm about to leave campus." Midoriya said below. "Rules. I hope you'll understand."

Hado beamed as she leaned down towards his face with a grin. "And I think she's very appreciative that you follow them, Izuku. She loves youuuu."

"Yeah. I love her too."

-

CRANK*
*CRANK*
*CRANK*

"Phew." Exhaling with a scarred and sturdy forearm wiping over their forehead to remove a coat of sweat, a large and well-built man in a tank top and jeans with combat boots dropped a wrench onto their garage floor while standing up from a box tipped on it's side. Taking several steps back the man hummed in pride as they observed over a solid black cruiser motorcycle with chrome finishes and frame, running a hand over their buzzed dirty blonde mohawk while nodding in approval. "Not bad."

BZZZT*

"Mm?" The man hummed as they reached into their left pocket to pull out their phone, seeing a new text message had arrived from a loved one. Double tapping the message would open up with a sent image of a third year girl taking a selfie next to a first year boy, peace signs given to the camera with a smile of pure happiness and a smile of pure awkwardness.

Nejire: Hey Daaaaad ! Out on an ice cream date with my new boyfriend, he said he LOVES the ice cream combo I showed him that you always used to show me. Can't wait to see you and Mom again sometime soon .

"..."

The man stared at the image sent by his daughter before walking toward a door at the rear of the garage and opening it, immediately entering the side of a kitchen area where running water was heard along with the clinking of dinner plates. Standing at the sink with a plate and sponge in her hands was a woman much shorter than the bulk of a man, periwinkle blue hair flowing down to the middle of her back and curling towards the bottom. A green apron protected her orange turtleneck from getting wet as the noise of the man's boots grabbed her attention, turning to see the phone screen angled for her to see and look over.

SQUEAK*

The woman shut the running water off and wiped her hands over her apron to dry them before grabbing the phone and looking at the image in silence. It would be the man's voice to break the eerie quiet of the kitchen. "Well?"

The woman said nothing before lowering the phone and looking out the window over the kitchen sink, the vague reflection barely being able to show her eyes glaring fiercely out the window with an inferno inside them. "Have Nejire bring this boy over for dinner tomorrow evening. If anybody's going to date my daughter, I demand to know what the really see inside of our girl. I hope he contains even the most minute of ill thoughts in that head so that I may skin him from head to toe. ALIVE."
