Warning ‼️
The following has some strong sexual activity so I recommend to skip it if thats too sensitive for some readers.
As soon as the morning sun finally rose, Ciana was still fast asleep in Izuku's arms. During the whole night she was warm and cozy… enough for her to still smile, though eventually her eyes finally cracked open slowly… When her vision adjusted, Ciana could see she's close up to Izukus face. Realizing she fell asleep in his bed again and now snuggled close together caused her to blush, but not as much this time.
"W-whoops… m-must have drifted to sleep again…" she sweat dropped, but wasn't complaining or panicking, seeing Izuku's face so close up like this again caused Ciana's heart to flutter and her gaze looking more warm towards him. "Maybe I should do this more often…" she chuckled to herself, then slowly reached her hand out to stroke his face as well as his hair, enjoying the cute peaceful sight of him.
"I still can't believe his hair color is natural… but still a nice color." She thinks to herself, though definitely not as strange as what she has witnessed in this world.
Feeling the sensation of fingers gliding through his hair, Izuku stirred and cracked his eyes open a bit, coming face to face with the lovable girl beside him. His arm tightened around her waist, enjoying the feeling as he moved closer so that his head resided under her chin for a change. "...morning..." He muttered in a daze.
Ciana was a little surprised Izuku didn't panic this time… but definitely better than him falling off his bed again, Ciana's smile became more loving and chuckled at the cute motive… her face leaned more closer to hair and had one arm around him while the other hugged his head. "Morning… glad to see your not falling off your bed this time…"
She jokes with another giggle, her face nuzzling in his messy green hair which she enjoyed.
"I want to say something longer... but I like this..." He murmured against her neck. His brain wasn't functioning yet so he opted to simply enjoy being closer to her, subconsciously pecking her neck once before not forgoing movement.
Ciana was surprised by the kiss as it caused her cheeks to turn very red and her heart picking up quicker, wondering if he thinks he's dreaming… Izuku was clearly caught in a daze but it was cute… Ciana just smiled at the display more as she tightened her grip and ran her fingers in his hair more. "I do too…" she murmured in his hair, Ciana also enjoyed being so close to him like this…
It's funny cuz Ciana remembered how worked up he gets whenever she got too close to Izuku in the beginning… Now he's used to being close to a girl and even slowly getting over his shyness, well he still has a bit of a long way to go… but Izuku has become more bold with her presence and that shows a lot of improvement.
Opening his eyes slightly, he stared at her collarbone while her fingers toyed with his hair, "Guess with me being healed I'll probably go see my mom today, what about you? Anything you plan to do or would you rather come with me again?" He suggested, the arm around her waist, rubbing her back beneath her shirt.
"Hm?" Her gaze looked down at him slightly as she continued her gentle affection, thinking over his question of what to do. "Well I don't have much ideas… I would like to come with you, but… I think it's best you go see her yourself this time…" Ciana could guess how concerned his mother is of her son, she deserves to spend more time with him after that scary commotion.
"She deserves to have you to herself for today, especially if she is worried enough to faint twice over you…" remembering what Izuku said and how his mom reacted… feeling really bad for the poor women.
"Yeah... I'll do that," Izuku nodded against her neck, but didn't make an effort to move. "So... we can stay like this longer then?" He'd normally get up early for his morning jog but this was two days to relax, and since Ciana was here he had no interest in breaking that guideline.
Ciana giggled at his request, tightening her hold on him more with a bigger smile. If she had to be honest she didn't want to move yet either. "We can… I'm not complaining." She playfully says, really enjoying his warmth. "In the beginning you couldn't even handle being so close to a girl like this with me… let alone sleep in the same bed." She teases with another giggle, Izuku is too cute to her.
"My face is very much red, yes," He replied, kissing her neck again to receive a soft giggle above. "I'm not entirely sure... but I'm getting less shy around you... bit by bit... though you still surprise me," His mind flashed with the image of her in a cheerleader costume, causing his heart to pound. "L-lots about you is infectious."
"Oh?" Her gaze went back down to him with her playful smile still intact, but blushed a bit more from his words. "Can't say I don't feel the same about you… you make it so hard for me to resist you, honestly I was going to ask anyways if I could stay with you tonight…" she admits with her cheeks turned more red shyly, averting her gaze a little bit.
Pulling his head back so he could see her face and how shy she was, his eyes wide awake now as his face felt a little hotter. It wasn't as if they hadn't, but she was asking instead of it just happening by accident. "...s-sure, I mean, i-it's not really an issue anymore, is it?" He shrugged a bit, smiling nervously.
"N-no a-as long as you were okay with it I mean…" she responds flusteredly, now viewing his face again with a bashful smile. "But by the looks of it… you seem to be fine with this now since you're not falling off the bed…" she giggled again, moving her hand to stroke his cheek again lovingly.
"Hey, back when I asked you to watch over me as I slept a while back at my apartment… what would you have done if I actually asked you to sleep over?" Ciana couldn't help but be curious of his reaction, her smile turning a bit playful again.
Leaning into her hand, he made a funny smile. "P-probably have a mental breakdown outside wondering if I was dreaming or I was being tricked, again, zero social skills," He lazily pointed at himself, then brought said hand forward to brush a few strands of hair from her face. "I'd still have agreed to help you, t-though I'd probably pass out from shock."
Ciana smiled warmly at the gentle gesture, her eyes staying on his as she listened. Giggling after hearing what he said. "I figured you would so that's why I never asked… and slept on the couch to not make it too awkward for you…" she playfully responds, Ciana wouldn't know how to treat her passed out friend then.
"Does this mean you're fine around other girls being close to you now?" She now asked with her brow raised.
"If by speaking without becoming a stuttering mess? Yes," He was thankful for that, making an awkward impression was hard enough as is without crippling anxiety. Then, he leaned forward to kiss her lips to stamp out any lingering self-conscious thoughts in her mind. "But you're the one I'll keep my eyes on the most, for obvious reasons," He replied rather smoothly, even he never realized it himself.
Her heart raced just from the quick kiss to her lips, now back to gazing at Izuku lovingly with pink cheeks. Very happy at his words. "I noticed… and I always did the same towards you." She whispered with her warm loving smile showing just for him, already she felt like she was dreaming again.
Maybe it was just how the morning light hit her face with a few rays or how she framed herself on her side, but Izuku kept staring at everything from her posture beneath the blanket at her waist to morning state with one shoulder exposed from her top hanging down slightly for her unkempt black hair to her shiny green eyes mirroring his own. She was enrapturing to say the least that his throat felt dry.
Ciana was pretty lost in her gaze towards Izuku herself, his cute gentle face of how his freckles decorated his cheeks and the warm gentle kindness in his eyes… The alluring sight of his muscular arms, even if most don't see it, Izuku is beautiful and amazing… Ciana could still hardly believe out of every girl in this world he could have fallen in love with, it was her…
Her eyelids slowly lowered halfway as Ciana was already caught up in a trance the more she stared at him… her hand went back to his cheek to cherish his beautiful face, what got her distracted now was his lips… having a strong urge to lean in towards them…
[‼️] Drawn forward by that alluring gaze, Izuku stole her lips in his as Ciana let her headfall back onto the pillow as Izuku kissed her from above at the side, yesterday's anxiety, pain, and emotional stress had exhausted Izuku, and now he had the perfect person who shared his woes and could help in lifting his spirits, even just being near her made him remind himself that there was always a silver lining. His right hand gripped her side while the left elbow propped him up as he deepened their kiss.
Already Ciana melted instantly the moment their lips connected again, her eyes closed in bliss as her arms now went around his neck to pull him closer and deeper in their kiss. She felt the warmth spreading from her lips to her body and she now fell back under the trap of her own quirk but also mostly from the lips of the boy she's fallen so hard for.
Sunken into bliss, they craved the other's affection as they let their teeth part to make out further, faces burning against one another with a shiver down their spines from the contact. Izuku's hand continued to glide across Ciana's side, sighing contently in her arms. They eventually parted, breathing heavily with Izuku having her pinned under his upper body from how he hovered over her.
As soon as they parted, her eyes opened hallway to once again reveal the sparkling glow in her eyes, staring back up in his beautiful eyes. Ciana felt so drawn to him and refused to take her arms off around him… subconsciously her face moved back up but it was towards Izuku's own neck… now back to softly planting kisses all over his neck and jaw, her grip around his neck pulling him closer.
His voice shook out a heavy breath from her bold action, his face heating up as he let her continue to plant kisses down his neck. Not to be outdone, he hadn't much place to move while Ciana moved so his free hand pushed forward to grope her left breast, her shirt pulled up to show her torso move while he hiked her bra up a little to feel around her chest more as his breath hitched from her lips.
The moment he felt his own bold gesture had Ciana moaning softly against his ear, her cheeks becoming more pinker from the alluring sensation. It was even enough to have her nip at his neck now, humming pleasantly as Ciana felt like she's becoming hotter inside and her mind becoming more fuzzy…
Her carnal kisses brought a rough moan from himself, squeezing her breast tightly from the sudden sensation before moving to sit on his knees at either side of her thighs, freeing his left hand to reach around her shirt, unclasping her bra to freely explore her chest with both hands while feeling his heart nearly explode from both where he touched her and Ciana's kisses and bites along his neck to his collarbone. By now, he was completely lost in a haze of pleasure, wanting to please her as best he could.
Ciana didn't even think twice about what was happening and never seemed to object to what he was doing, feeling the way his hands were now exploring her chest more freely had her moan out a few more times, her eyes now closed in bliss as Ciana once again felt addicted to the sensation. A red streak appeared across her face and felt like she could melt how good Izuku is making her feel, now her own hands snuck back under his shirt to once again feel his muscles…
Ciana felt so lost in her own haze as she began to tug at his shirt, hinting that she wanted it removed to cherish him more…
Opening eyes a little more, Izuku pulled away from Ciana to see what she was doing as his own white shirt was pulled up, instinctively, his arms followed, allowing her to pull his shirt off before he did the same to her, leaving their upper bodies exposed to one another as Izuku took advantage of her arms being away from his neck to lean down and immediately begin tracing kisses down from her sweet spot around her neck toward her chest again, feverously nipping her skin.
The moment she witnessed his shirt off Ciana's heart raced a mile getting a closer view at his beautiful body, she became so distracted that she didn't even realize or object to her own coming off. Her eyes sparkled more as Ciana became so allured and addicted to the sight… watching him lean closer to plant his own lips on her skin brought more moans out of Ciana, breathing heavenly in bliss.
Now her own hands wandered up to stroke around his chest, sides and back. Feeling his smooth strong muscles that just caused her heart to erupt like a volcano. Ciana couldn't help but enjoy everything that was happening.
Feeling Ciana massage his body gave Izuku a strong impression she really liked seeing him shirtless, though he could hardly complain himself, her body toned in all the right angles as his hot face ran down to lick and tease her right breast, pinching her left gingerly to draw out more moans from his lover. He couldn't help but want more, though that wasn't such a bad thing.
Ciana didn't seem like she's complaining as she felt so weak in his hold and her mind becoming more addicted to his alluring affections, Izuku was pleasing her in all the right places. Moaning into his ear. "Izuku… I love you…" she murmured out, her hold on him gripped him tighter, wanting badly to keep feeling his body.
"Me... too, Ciana..." He panted, pulling away from her chest to speak before switching to her left breast to repeat the process, he didn't want to stop now, wanting Ciana to feel good while enjoying the feedback as a result. While she continued to feel along his body, his left did the same, traveling down without much thought toward the rest of her body.
Ciana hummed in more satisfaction and agreement to his affections, her eyes half lidded and dazed while holding him so close and taking in the blissful sensations Izukus treating her, Ciana fell so deep in her haze enough for her not to want this moment to end. Her heart racing faster the more he pleased her, Ciana felt like a slave to his hypnotic affections.
Despite their constant affections, Izuku's hand stopped shy of her shorts before he leaned up a little. "Ciana... I... m-my hand..." He didn't know if he should stay where they were or dare cross another line. His face was as red as hers as he waited for her response first, holding himself back long enough to hear.
Ciana hummed in response so far, her eyes opening back up slightly to look up to his face and down where his hand was now touching. Her eyes still sparkled and caught up in her haze enough she didn't give it much thought how far they were going, her half lidded gaze met back up to his eyes and in response she pulled him down to kiss his lips.
Her hand now on his cheek as she eagerly kisses him passionately, Ciana wanted to keep loving and cherishing this boy. She didn't want him to ever let go of her, he pushed her this much to want more from him.
His eyes widened for a moment at her silent response before they fell shut, leaning on her left side while his hand moved down without complaint, moving under her shorts where one part of Ciana remained unseen, though he had no reason to go further today, maybe not for a long while, this would be enough for her, right? His hand moved between her shorts and underwear, applying pressure as he ran his hand slowly across as her breath hitched between their lips, and her body tensed.
The moment Ciana felt the new sensation… her lips gasped and moaned in his lips, feeling an eruption of heat spreading across her body and swore for a moment she saw the stars in her eyes. Ciana breathed more heavily and her grip tightened more around him, laying still to take in the new blissful feeling.
Unsure of how to best proceed, Izuku kept his lips locked to hers with the occasional break to breathe. His hand remained where it was, rubbing across her pants that felt damp the longer his fingers moved between her legs. Every small action drawing a moan from the beautiful girl beneath him, her chest rising and falling sharply while her fingers dug into his shoulder, the other pressed to his cheek as he eagerly accepted her kisses. His body felt like it was set ablaze, growing hotter and hotter the longer they continued.
Cianas cheeks were burning hot as well as her body the longer he proceeded to touch her, her mind drifted into a fuzzy haze and all that's left was her heart seeking out more from her lover. Subconsciously her legs spread open more as Ciana continued to cherish his lips, her hand now sliding to run her fingers back into his hair.
Their lips now danced frantically in tune with Izuku's hand against Ciana's groin, when they parted, he bit her bottom lip a bit as her pants began shallow as he whispered. "You're so beautiful..." Then their lips smashed together again, his heart exploded, banging against his chest as he felt up her body in his right and pleasured her with his left. Whatever came over him was an afterthought.
Cianas own heart kept hammering and letting out soft noises even as they kissed, her lips kept moving in sync with his own even as she kept gasping in much pleasure, Ciana continued humming pleasantly the more he touched and pleased her. Her hand now gripped his neck to have more access to his lips while the other slid down to his lower back. The harder Ciana fell for him the more addicted she was to love him.
Time felt like a crawl, neither running out of energy as their skin stuck together due to the sweat, breathing heavily between their kisses. Ciana's body tensed up after a while, but Izuku's hand between her shorts kept moving against her wet pants as he occasionally moved his head to bite the tip of her ear or bottom lip before capturing her lips again while her hands combed his hair and gripped his neck tightly. "...so cute..."
Izuku was just making it harder to even think about stopping as she was enjoying every minute of being in each other's hold, her head fell back on the pillow as her hand that was on his neck pulled him more down with her to her lips. All Ciana could think about was this boy and how much she loved him, humming and moaning from each way Izuku pleasured the girl. Her hand that is in his hair continues to run her fingers in his soft locks as she really enjoyed how they felt.
In the middle of their session, Izuku grew more daring, his confidence on fire like the rest of his mind as he brought the hand down Ciana's shorts around slightly, digging beneath her underwear to feel along her bare skin and crotch while moving his face to nip across her neck now, applying more pleasure to Ciana's body. Longer, just a little longer... his head wouldn't stop repeating that mantra. His own breathing shallow with too many emotions to juggle around.
The action caused Ciana to gasp out softly with her head turned to the side to give him more access, her breathing kept panting and her cheeks were so red from pleasure. Her eyes stayed closed to keep savoring Izuku's loving affections, her own hands weakly went back up to run her fingers to his sides. A small smile appeared across her face. "Please… d-don't ever let me go…" she murmured out eagerly, gasping again softly when Ciana felt Izuku nip a sensitive place on her neck.
"...I promise," He whispered back, kissing along her jaw to her neck again while his left hand kept rubbing faster beneath her pants to excite more soft moans from her throat. Occasionally, he spied his gold locket out the corner of his eye, reminded how much effort Ciana put into him when it came to anything, no matter how little or insignificant it may be. "No matter what happens or what we do..."
Ciana's heart melted more at his soft words she heard, which brought her smile to perk up more happily and lovingly. Ciana felt like she was falling much harder for Izuku, her gaze glanced at him a few times with her eyes still twinkling and half lidded. As she was still moaning and humming to his blissful affections, Cianas heart encouraged her to speak out her feelings more. "I-I love you…"
His chest clenched tightly at her scarlet face and seductive eyes lingering on his. His right hand free, he interlocked with her left against the pillow bringing his face closer to hers. "I... love you too..." He meant it with every fiber of his being before capturing her lips tenderly this time as their chests rubbed together. A small part of him deep down wanted to go the whole way, but he felt they wouldn't be ready for that extreme, not yet. So, he played with the cards he had, attempting to drive Ciana to her tipping point, whenever that was, he didn't want anything to interrupt them now.
Cianas loving twinkling gaze lingered on his own beautiful eyes as she watched him lean closer to her face again, feeling his hand that's now in hers she gladly gripped it tightly. Her eyes closed more slightly the closer he got to her face and not only did Izuku's loving words made her heart go on fire but his kiss he planted back on hers did too.
Her fingers locked more tightly in his hand and her lips moved in sync with his, even if Cianas quirk hadn't made her feel she wanted to go this far. Her feelings for him are real and no matter what they will never change.
Unfortunately, something came to finally cut the teens short of their lustful session together as Izuku's phone went off, pulling their lips apart as Izuku released Ciana's hand to reach over to grab it off the floor, pulling it up as Ciana laid beside him, panting heavily after Izuku removed his left hand from her shorts, quickly wiping them dry on his shorts before answering. "Y-yes?"
Ciana sat staring longingly up at the ceiling, her arm across her bare chest to catch her breath as she heard a voice muffled on the receiving end of the phone call while Izuku sat next to her, nodding and giving the occasional reply with a lazy smile. "I'm certain, my injuries are healed up so I don't mind - yeah, Ciana's got something she wanted to do today so it's just us - mmhm, I will - love you too, mom, bye," Hanging up, Izuku let his head fall beside Ciana's, releasing a breath he had held as to not arouse suspicion from his mother on why he was out of breath.
His arms soon wrapped around Ciana, one across her chest too and behind her neck for her to rest on as he stared at her lovingly. "...guess that's our cue, w-was what I did a-alright? I-I wasn't sure if I did t-that correctly or not..."
Ciana didn't expect the sudden ring of his phone, but it sure was enough to snap her out of it. As he answered his phone, that's when her eyes finally dimmed down, her face was beat red realizing how far they were going…
Her red face and her gaze looked back at Izuku when he finished up answering the call, feeling his arms back around her which had her heart once again hammering against her chest. Now looking back up at him in silence for a few seconds, Ciana lowered her gaze as she showed a very flustered smile. She was too embarrassed to even make a comment but nodded her head in response to his question. "Y-yeah… you… uh… fine… I-I mean yes!" After what they just did Ciana couldn't keep her words straight but she at least didn't look repulsed.
Now her face hid in his chest, worried if she put him too much in a sensitive place again. "I-I'm so sorry! I-I… y-you won't feel awkward around me now… w-will you…?" She was afraid if she ended up freaking him out secretly…
"C-considering I'm more awake now... n-need I remind, we're both half n-naked and I as-asked you if you were okay wi-with me doing these things with you..." Izuku stuttered a bit, his confidence dissipating as he held her shoulders. "I-I'm just hope y-you don't feel awkward around me,"
Not that she was awkward around him but she was just more worried this was too much for him, him pointing out they are half naked didn't help as she looked down to see she had no shirt on… her cheeks becoming even redder as Ciana panicky covered her chest with her arms again, shutting her eyes tightly as she could feel the steam coming out of her head. "N-no I-I'm just a-afraid I-I freaked you out!"
Ciana knew her quirk would make them so bold around each other and was terrified the farther they went the bigger chance it would be for Izuku to avoid her. "I-I know my quirk is making you do some of this stuff a-and I'm scared the farther we go t-then I'll end up scaring you away…"
He sighed a little, forming a comforting smile as he grabbed her forearms to pull them apart before reaching over his bed to bring her shirt over her head for her, allowing Ciana to stare back at his gaze again. "I meant what I said, no matter what happens, I'll still be here - yes, your quirk has a passive effect you can't control, but that isn't enough to scare me away. Ciana, I wouldn't do these things with you if there wasn't already an idea of it in my head,"
After she got her arms through the sleeves, he combed her hair, setting her butterfly clip back in place. "I-if we end up waiting longer to go t-the whole way, or sooner than we realize, I'll shoulder that responsibility with you, okay?" He'd never forgive himself if he let his anxiety drive a wedge between them.
Once her shirt was back over her, her gaze stared up back into his view. Looking a little surprised by his words but also concerned still at the same time. "I-I know… b-but I-if this is something you don't think you can see yourself doing yet then at least let me know…" Ciana didn't want to force him to stay with her if Izuku became uncomfortable around her…
Her arms now hugging herself fearfully. "I-I mean… i-I'm just trying to say I don't want to push you and I don't want to force you to stay if you truly do feel awkward around me at this point…" now giving him a sad smile, Ciana loved and cared for him enough to preserve her feelings for him.
He shook his head, then, brought her closer for a hug. "I'm not going anywhere, okay? You've never forced me to do anything that wasn't for my benefit, you respect boundaries until we're both content to cross them. You don't have to worry about me leaving, I'm staying right here," He squeezed her tightly, reinforcing his point. "I'll repeat it as many times as it takes,"
The hug surprised her a bit but the motive and his words touched her heart, her eyes widened a little as his hold made her feel so warm and loved again… Ciana was silent for a few seconds before her smile slowly perked up and slowly returned his embrace. "I-i will never understand how I'm so blessed to have someone as amazing as you to love…" she murmured out happily and softly, almost feeling like tearing up but kept them back.
Smiling, he rubbed her back. "Me neither..." Holding her a little longer, he sat back before glancing in the direction of the bathroom. "If you want, you can take a shower here to freshen up instead of going back sweaty and all that, I don't mind," Izuku didn't want her leaving all clammy after spending the night here as well as what they did, plus, it gave him time to ensure no one had heard them, the walls weren't hollow but loud enough and noise could get through.
Ciana felt kinda embarrassed she ended up not only half naked in front of Izuku but how smelly she probably was in this situation… scratching her cheek flusteredly as she gave off an awkward laugh. "W-well i-i don't want to take up more of your time getting ready… s-since I have my shirt back on I-I'll just jump to my balcony dorm room again…"
She goes to stand up now, letting out a stretch and patting down her possible messy hair. "Besides… I think you got enough of seeing me half naked and rather not get you going if you see me coming out with a towel wrapped around me next…" she teases with a playful smile, but her comment did cause her cheeks to heat up a bit at the idea.
"...not that I'd mind..." He muttered under his breath, blushing a little from the idea before nodding to her. "A-Alright, I'll see you downstairs then,"
Despite being flustered, she smiled and nodded in response toward him. "Until then, oh and… you might want to get your blankets washed too after that…'' she ends up commenting before stepping out onto his balcony now and powering herself up to hop across the balconies yet again…
After she left, Izuku ran a hand through his hair, he needed a shower too after that. His heart couldn't stop racing he swore he ran a marathon. He did, however, glower at his wall before slamming his fist into it, causing a certain someone on the opposite end to cry out in terror, followed by several items crashing to the ground. For Mineta's sake, he better have been asleep until now...
"Right, washing..." He quickly got to work to strip his bed, his blush intensifying. "...if that ever happens, I need to see about soundproofing..." With his thoughts preoccupied, he got to work.
It didn't take too long for Ciana to make it back to her balcony, once she was finally back to her room, powered down and stepped inside… Ciana walked over to her bed, picked up her pillow, took a deep breath and screamed into it… her own heart hammering and her cheeks were beet red, Ciana never thought they would go that far… sitting on her bed for a moment to collect her thoughts.
"Never have I ever seen myself doing this especially when I'm still in high school… i-i really have fallen hard for Izuku… that almost felt like I was dreaming again, okay… mental note…" her pillow now on her lap. "I-if we ever go that far again I rather it not be here… l-last thing I need is there to be a chance someone will overhear us, especially Jiro."
Ciana really does not want to make an embarrassing impression of them both if anyone ever heard them do anything… knowing they need to be smart about this… tossing her pillow back on her bed, Ciana went to take her warm shower now… since Izuku will be seeing his mom she might as well go out and explore the city more, maybe she can buy some supplies to make her dad's pizza again.
Once she was clean, Ciana stepped out and had the towels around her. Stepping back in her room, she gets her casual clothing together. "I really miss wearing my normal clothes… only time I ever get to wear them is when I'm on break from school." She comments to herself… Now with her outfit on, Ciana even styled her hair a bit and still kept her mom's hair clip in her hair. Grabbing her purse, now Ciana stepped out to make her way downstairs, looking much more neat and cleaner and more like herself with her casual clothing on.
Once downstairs, Ciana made her way to the kitchen where Izuku pointed without even looking at a cup of tea sitting for her. The people present at this time were Yaoyorozu, Kirishima, and Tokoyami. "Morning, Finley, did you sleep well?" Their Vice Rep asked after sipping her tea happily.
"Yeah, morning!/Greetings," The two boys commented, one with a curt wave, the other with a nod.
Ciana smiled when she saw her friends again when she came down, giving them her usual warm smile and a wave. "Morning everyone!" She greets as she ends up taking a seat when noticing a tea cup was set for her. She stretched her arms again as she spoke.
"Yeah a good night's sleep is exactly what I needed after the other day… I'm just glad we can all finally relax now." She comments happily as she now takes a sip of her tea. "How about you guys? Did you rest up well yourselves?" Ciana now asks the same back towards her friends.
"Yes, though yesterday tired all of us out so quickly," Yaoyorozu commented.
"After my match with Tetsutetsu and Bakugo I was pretty much running on empty," Kirishima gestured to his bandages to show his recovery.
"You appear to be going somewhere today?" Tokoyami noted. "Midoriya mentioned going home for the day, will you be joining him?" He may not pry at all into others lives, but he noted how they gravitated often toward one another, even if only friendly he still imagined they may do the same as last time they went out.
Ciana was definitely relieved to see Kirishima was still fine, especially that long fight with Testsu… she still couldn't believe he fought for that long. "After watching that intense fight you did Kirishima I'm really stunned you can still move." She jokes with a chuckle.
Now eyeing her bird headed friend, pointing out their closeness she never realized she hangs all over Izuku more than she thought… which had Ciana blush a little in embarrassment and rub her neck awkwardly with a sheepish smile "Nah not this time." She answers so far. "I figured since that crazy battle he had with Todoroki, his mom was probably worried sick after seeing that on tv… so I thought it would be best if his mom had him more to herself for the day to ease her worries."
She replied playfully with a chuckle. "I'll probably just take a stroll through the city, I'm still new to being in another country and would like to explore more of the sights. Plus I was thinking of doing a little food shopping to make my dad's homemade pizza tonight." Knowing the hard day she had yesterday would be a nice treat for her to make, since her dad whips up his special pizza whenever anyone at home had a rough day to make the day more brighter.
"Homemade pizza? Now we're talking!" Kirishima grinned eagerly. "Can't wait, but if you need help, I'm your man!"
"I also don't mind pitching in, ever since you made it months back I've wanted to try it again," Izuku added, joining them at the counter.
"A dish from your world, I feel honoured," Tokoyami bowed his head a bit.
"If you don't mind, perhaps I can help too? I've never tried my hand at cooking something like pizza..." Yaoyorozu tapped her chin a bit in thought.
Ciana didn't expect they would want to lend a hand but it made her happy to hear they wanted to be a part of the dish she makes, it sounds like it would be a lot of fun for her friends to pitch in. Nodding with a wide smile. "Sure! I would be honored to cook up my own culture with all of you, it would be really fun to actually share it."
She responds very cheerfully, digging in her purse to pull out her notebook and a pencil. Setting it on the table as she flips through the pages to bring up her dad's recipe she wrote down. "The recipe I have written down is in my English language but I can translate it to Japanese to make it more easier for some of you to understand." With her pencil in hand, she uses the blank page to copy it down in Japanese for her friends. Very thankful toward Izuku for teaching her the written language.
While they discussed this, all leaning closer to follow along with her instructions, Izuku admired Ciana's outfit. It consisted of red and white sneakers, navy jean shorts with a black shirt decorated with white floral patterns, over the top was a red and white jersey jacket with black cuffs and collar and two eagles on the front. Another of her unique outfits brought a smile to his face as he spoke without really thinking much of it. "You look nice, by the way, it's probably the biggest America vibe I've seen with your outfits,"
"Hm?" Ciana perked up in surprise by the sudden compliment, now glancing at Izuku when he pointed it out and blushed shyly but clearly happy at the praise. "O-oh t-thanks!" She thanked him flusteredly, fiddling with her pencil as her gaze looked back down to her notebook bashfully. "M-my outfit isn't completely American but i did try to put my clothes together to look similar to my culture…"
She brings her hand up to scratch her cheek while still smiling and blushing pink. "I-I mean my shirt is more Asian looking, most of my clothes I have I got from a flea market here… g-glad to know I still look good though." Ciana couldn't afford a lot and had to buy her clothes from a swap meet to fit her budget.
He smiled, "Still, it looks good," Though he had to admit he was biased since he liked almost anything she wore.
"I must agree with Midoriya, it definitely suits you," Yaoyorozu joined in, offering a polite smile.
Ciana blushes more at the comments but smiles more from them. "T-thanks guys! I'm glad I at least don't look poor." She responds playfully, clearing her throat.
Suddenly Ciana perked up when she remembered something. "Oh! That reminds me…" her gaze going back to her purse as she slips her hands back in to take out a comic…
Eyeing Izuku with a smile as she hands it to him which is the Batman comic she mentioned. "I never got the chance to lend you this, so much happened and I forgot to bring it up again…"
"What's that?" Kirishima perked up as Izuku took it eagerly, eyeing the cover with a bright expression. "A comic?"
"A comic from another world! Thank you, I'll take great care of it!" Izuku nodded immediately, analysing it. "I definitely remember hearing about this superhero from before quirks, if our worlds line up in terms of history this makes more sense, wow, but being able to hold something collectors would bid over is amazing...!"
"I was aware of your world not having quirks, but your year is also roughly two centuries behind ours," Tokoyami pointed out, eyeing the comic book himself, admiring the hero's dark aesthetic.
"No way... that's probably the coolest thing I've seen in a while, and you had that with you this whole time!" Kirishima too was drawn in as Izuku flipped to the first page. "Man, it's pretty old but I can kinda see this style in other comics today,"
"I know, right? It's staggering how much time has passed and yet our media still copies the style so closely!" Izuku was vibrating on the spot as the boys were hopelessly distracted.
Ciana chuckled at everyone's astonishment of the comic she had with her, especially Izuku's reaction. "I had it with me in my backpack when I first came here, I like to keep myself entertained when I was stuck in school at the time…"
She hadn't had many friends to hang out with so during her private time she would just read. "This story is actually about a hero who doesn't have any superpowers, he uses cool gadgets and martial arts to fight crime. I thought Izuku would take interest in my fictional hero stories from back home since he's such a big hero fan and all here." She teases a little, aware of his fan hood especially from what she saw in his room.
"This guy sounds about as manly as they come! Hell, maybe someone from the support course could be just like this guy," Kirishima chuckled a bit while Izuku flicked to the next page.
"Instead of honing what he lacked, he focused on becoming the peak of human strength, quite admirable, even in fiction," Tokoyami hummed, rubbing his beak.
Ciana wasn't too surprised Tokoyami would be interested in this story since he's pretty dark in character himself, smiling more at their reactions around her. "Goes to show even people without superpowers can be heroes too, though his story is kinda sad how it started out…"
Her expression softness up sadly towards the fictional hero recalling his backstory. "He comes from a wealthy family and when he was a kid, his family were killed by criminals… since then he devoted his life to fighting crime to stop anyone on the streets from hurting anyone again."
"That sounds awfully dark, then again, not every hero has a pleasant past I suppose," Yaoyorozu commented.
"He could've easily become a villain but chose to devote his life for a better cause, that choice can be harder for most," Izuku spoke from experience. Not that he'd ever consider becoming a villain, at worst he could imagine had his life continued to spiral down he might've given up altogether or even be a minor vigilante. Though actually doing things to the extent as this fictional hero wouldn't be possible. "Thanks for lending this, Ciana."
Ciana smiled and nodded towards her own hero, happy to share her world's stories with him. "No problem! Yeah the story is a bit dark but the hero means well, he cares about the law and doing what's right."
Remembering something else, Ciana eyed her notebook again to turn another page to rip one out. Handing it to Izuku which is a Japanese transition of the alphabet to her English language. "Since the story is in English I wrote this out for you to help understand the words, hope it helps."
"Thanks, but with all our English lessons I've gotten the hang of reading English," He took it anyway, moving it to Kirishima's hand as he glanced between the list and the comic. "Though I think Kirishima needs it more than me,"
"It's still tricky what Present Mic teaches us so this'll help a ton!" He nodded, tracing his line back to what he was reading.
That would explain how Izuku was able to read in her notebook… he really is a fast learner and just keeps impressing her, eyeing Kirishima now playfully. "Alright, well hope it will help you out enough, when Izuku was teaching me your written language I had so much trouble even copying the symbols…"
She smiled sheepishly remembering how much of a pain it was for her. "Took me like weeks to write it properly… though I'm sure my Japanese writing is more messy compared to my own language." She chuckled after saying that, Rubbing the back of her neck embarrassingly.
"You've improved a lot near the end of junior high, granted, your writing is still a little wonky but compared to how you first wrote it's a massive improvement," Izuku replied, having spent a lot of time helping her in that regard.
"I always thought it was just 'cause you were from overseas, but boy was my mark off by a lot!" Kirishima regarded with a silly grin, his eyes closed for a moment.
"Despite the cultural differences you faced you've managed to not only adapt but made it into one of the most prestigious schools in the country," Yaoyorozu marvelled a bit.
"Honestly I'm pretty stunned still I managed to make it, I thought for sure I screwed up… since I was never born here and all, and from another country." Ciana remembers her first premonition and how she thought it meant she didn't get it… it sure was a miracle for her.
"But I did a lot of studying and training with Izuku so without him and his mentor I wouldn't even be here." She smiled toward Izuku, knowing he's the reason she made it through.
"You also put the work in," Izuku added while reading the comic with the boys at either side of him. "Sure, Mr Yagi gave us the training schedule but you followed it to the letter despite only recently being in not just another world but a different country, so you making it was in part to your efforts and perseverance,"
"The Sports Festival certainly showed that amount of determination in your actions," Tokoyami spoke up, eyeing the comic intensely. "As the saying goes, 'Actions speak louder than words'."
Once again Ciana blushes a bit from their praises, rubbing her neck more shyly. Ciana found it amusing the boys are so huddled in to read the comic with Izuku. "Also what doesn't kill you makes us stronger… another saying where I'm from." She ended up sharing.
"When Izuku first told me about heroes and quirks I thought he was pulling my leg when we met, but just witnessing a superpower in person really took me back enough to end up in the hospital… sometimes I still wonder if I'm stuck in a coma and just dreaming all this." She laughed a little, it's still a shock being around quirky superhuman people.
"I sure hope not..." Izuku thought to himself, eyeing Ciana out of the corner of his eye. She had every right to believe that was the case, a world with superpowers, heroes and villains, who would ever believe that? But he really prayed it wasn't remotely true, that all of this was fake. He was already too deep to want to leave. "Well, I'm glad it isn't the case," He vocalized, flipping to the next page with a tender smile.
"Same here!" Kirishima pumped his fist.
"It would be disheartening if that were true," Yaoyorozu frowned a bit.
"Agreed," Tokoyami nodded.
"I'm just happy it isn't, I mean I still hate the idea of being used by a villain… but I'm still glad I'm here with all of you." She smiled brighter, also praying that she wasn't dreaming. It would break her heart if all this around her never existed.
"But when you think about it, your world would actually make a great story for my world… ever since I hit the bookstore with Izuku I kept thinking to myself this whole superhuman society would make a great manga." Their world really is so exciting so they would definitely be very likable characters as well as their school setting.
"If that's the case... same to you," Kirishima replied. "I mean, yours is just like all those shows about characters being transported to other worlds, you'd fit right in too!"
"Guess I'm not the only one who pictured it that way..." Izuku murmured at the thought.
She sure wasn't expecting that which took her by surprise a little. "Really? Well being transported into another world is pretty exciting for any story… but even without that I think you guys would be more of a hit than me." She responds happily, then goes to look at her notebook again to look at her dad's recipe.
"Since I'll be cooking up for more people I'll have to get more supplies than I thought, have you guys actually ever tried pizza before? I know it's an American food thing but do you have your own version here in Japan too?" She now asks as she wondered if they do something similar compared to her country.
"Yeah, about as common as it is in most countries," Kirishima cocked his head a bit. "I guess where you and Midoriya lived there weren't many chains?"
"Pretty much, you'd have to go to town for that," Izuku answered. "Now that you mention it... I'm certain we've passed some places though I suppose with the two century gap between our worlds it makes sense you don't recognize any brands,"
"Well everything is still pretty new to me… I mean I was stunned seeing how huge your arcade is compared to where I live, we don't even have that many claw machines where I am." She chuckled, still very amazing to see how many games they had.
"Plus the cafe meals are so fancy what they do to their pastries, I mean they are so artsy looking that they look good enough not to eat to ruin its perfection." There are tons of things about Japan Ciana isn't aware of and can see how creative and fun everyone is here.
"Would you like to go out sometime with the rest of the girls?" Yaoyorozu perked up, tapping her hands together excitedly. "We could show you around many different places you might not have seen - ahem, n-no offence, Midoriya."
"I didn't really go anywhere in my free time back in junior high so I understand," Izuku had a pretty linear mindset for where to go.
Ciana really perked up at the offer, nodding eagerly at the idea. "Sure that sounds like a lot of fun! I love to explore more places with you guys." Already Ciana was looking excited hanging out with her gal friends more.
"Oh maybe we can all do something together one of these days too, there's a really nice beach around where Izuku lives. Thought it would be a lot of fun to go together to relax in the sun and play in the water for a group activity." Ciana hasn't got to hang at the beach too much to go swimming, now making a mental note to buy a swimsuit soon, though she wasn't sure if Bakugo and Todoroki will want to come but hopefully they take interest in the idea.
"I suppose if everyone is free tomorrow we can try to get something planned, the beach would be nice with the warm weather as of late," Yaoyorozu seemed on board with the idea.
"I'd say we'd save that for summer but what the heck, might as well take advantage of the time off, right?" Kirishima shrugged, looking to Tokoyami and Izuku.
"I suppose... if everyone is in agreement about it," Tokoyami shrugged, not overly keen on spending time outdoors but one day wouldn't hurt.
"We can ask around after you're gone, then I'll text you to let you know how many of us," Izuku agreed, liking the idea of going back to the same beach they cleaned up.
Hearing that was enough to make her happy, her arms going in the air cheerfully. "Alright! Let's make these final days as fun as we can! We all deserve some relaxation after what we've been through." Already they are making more plans doing a fun activity, Ciana looks forward to doing this with everyone.
"Oh right… uh, we should probably come up with a plan to make sure Kaminari and especially Mineta don't do something dirty if we'll be in our swimsuits…" remembering the pervy weirdos, Ciana shivered imagining Mineta being a leach ogling their bodies.
"That's... really unavoidable," Izuku slumped against the counter, then smiled a bit more. "Although, I'm certain they've learned not to tempt fate now, especially Mineta."
"If he does anything then I'll probably carry around pepper spray at this point…" Ciana remembered her frog friend mentioned the leach was ogling her chest when they were facing the villains… disgusted with the idea of him doing the same to her.
"There's a time and place, really..." Kirishima shook his head with Yaoyorozu and Tokoyami nodding in agreement.
"At least I'll have Izuku to back me up, I still remember everyone saying you gave him quite a scare before…" chuckling again recalling his heroic act defending the girl's dignity.
"No one's ever going to let me forget that, are they?" He really wished he didn't near threaten their classmate but really, at the time, it felt like the right call. He just really wished people stopped reminding him of his loss of temper. "But... your welcome," He sighed, shaking his head a bit.
