Himiko could barely control her giddy fits of giggling remembering Izu's sweet blood, his adorable freckles, and the way he looked at her so earnestly. Her joyful emotions were almost too much to handle when she had been near the boy and drinking his blood. If she hadn't been careful she might've hurt the boy.

"I'd never do that to Izu though," Himiko said skipping through the abandoned building she had used to escape the police on her trail.

They had found the house she was staying at before meeting Izu, and now she couldn't go back there. Luckily she'd had a vile of the girl's blood whose house she had been in and now they were looking for her instead of Himiko.

"Fun, fun, I wanna have fun with Izu~" she sang happily twirling inside the building.

Remembering her promise Himiko pulled "her" phone out of "her" sweaters pocket. She had deleted all of the contact information for this phone she had taken, and in its place was only Izu's number. Next to the boy's name she had put copious amounts of stars and hearts.

'Hey Izu' a few minutes passed by as she waited for a reply before the telltale dots started wiggling showing Izu was typing.

'Hi Toga-Chan, did you get home alright?'

' Leave it to Izu to worry,' she giggled to herself typing a quick response.

'I thought I said to call me Himi-chan!'

'Right, right sorry! Hey, I've got awesome news!'

'Oooh, are you gonna let me taste your blood whenever I want?!'

Izu's response took a while to come, no doubt she had flustered the poor boy… again.

'It's not that, but like I said when we were younger you can have some whenever you want. Maybe it should be just between us though because I think other people might react kinda like your mom did when we were kids. And if it'll help keep your cravings In check I want to help you! But I wanted to tell you All Might is gonna train me to become a hero! I'll be ready by the time the exams for U.A. start!'

All of what Izu had said came as a bit of a shock to the girl, of course, she knew how selfless Izu had been when they were little but he seemed to be even more so now. Then the news All Might was going to train him was even more amazing.

'OMG, YOU'RE TRAINING WITH ALL MIGHT!!!!'

'I KNOW! I'M JUST AS SURPRISED AS YOU ARE!'

Himiko continued texting Izu late into the night until he finally said he needed to sleep. All Might wanted him to show up early to some beach so he could start training the next morning.

"I kinda wanna find out what beach he's talking about so I can watch Izu sweat," the intense blush that crossed her face was sinisterly framed by her wide-fanged grin. Had any normal person seen the expression on her face they would've turned around and promptly run away.

Himiko began searching through nearby beaches noting the ones she thought might be possibilities until she came across what had to be the perfect option.

"Takoba Municipal Beach Park," she sighed in satisfaction at her detective skills.

The other beaches she had looked into were all fairly remote, but they had far too many visitors for All Might to go unnoticed training a teenager. Takoba Beach however was a famous landmark for its trash-strewn shores which were only visited by illegal dumpers. It would be the perfect place for Izu to build muscle, but also get used to practical movements with his muscles that regular gym workouts didn't give.

"I get to watch Izu train~" Himiko sang as she left the building to head in the beach's direction.

After all, she'd need to get there early if she wanted to find a good spot to watch Izu.

"Come on young Midoriya put your back into it," All Might shouted from his position atop the huge refrigerator, " you know people without strength quirks move these things all the time!"

"That might be t-true," Izuku panted as he tried in vain to pull the fridge along," but it's a little harder with your extra six hundred pounds of muscle on top of it."

"Nah, I'm more like five sixty, I've slimmed down!"

"That's insane," Izuku stumbled falling face-first into the sand of the beach.

They had made slow progress cleaning the beach but it had only been a couple of weeks and while Izuku was getting used to the daily labor, he was still thin as a rail.

"At this rate, you won't be able to inherit my power at all," All Might said jovially from atop the refrigerator as he took pictures of Izuku's pitiful state.

"B-But you said I was worthy of inheriting it," the pitiful yell Izuku let out made All Might wince.

"Calm down! I only meant your body itself. Do you think a newbie whose gone through virtually no strength training whatsoever could inherit a power as incredible as One for All," All Might shook his head wagging a finger," I don't think so, if you inherited my quirk as you are right now, I bet your limbs would shoot off in every direction! Now you get what I mean?"

"M-My limbs?" Izuku had to suppress the shudder that ran through his body at the mere thought.

"That's right," All Might nodded," that's why we're here strengthening your body so you can hold One for All without any side effects that might be too extreme."

"Thank goodness," Izuku sighed seeing All Might had a good plan set in place for his growth.

"However, ten months is hardly enough time to prepare your body for all of One for All's power. You may be able to contain the power by the time we're done, but all of that force will be like trying to hold in a tsunami with a glass cup! Sure you might fill it up, but if you're not careful that container will crack under too much force."

"G-Got it, I'll be super careful."

"Right, and with all that said, here," All Might passed Izuku a sheet of paper with dietary routines, training schedules, study time frames, and even a schedule for his sleeping and nap times.

"This is thorough," Izuku noted.

"Of course, it'd have to be to get you in shape just in time for the U.A. entrance exams," All Might leaned in conspiratorially to whisper in Izuku's ear," and if you look closely I've left you a little free time each day to see that lady friend of yours. This packets got it all, but what else would you expect from the Aim to Pass all American Dream Plan!?"

All Izuku did in response was blush from his head to his toes in utter embarrassment,' please just kill me! It's just like mom teasing me over the barest hint I might have a girlfriend.'

"All jokes aside this is gonna be a very grueling ten months for you, my boy. Do you think you've got what it takes?"

Gripping the paper with trembling fingers Izuku nodded smiling with worry, and yet he was also extremely excited," sure I can do this! No problem."

Meanwhile, a pair of intense yellow eyes followed Izuku's every move, the owner never wanting to miss a single moment of the boy's training.

Bravado was all well and good in Izuku's eyes, but when he had gotten down to the proper training, his entire body ached every day. Today was no exception, and if anything he was aching even more with the set of teeth sinking into the side of his shoulder.

"Izu," Himiko whined wiping the blood from her mouth," your dumb shoulder muscles are making it hard to bite you."

Izuku laughed nervously for his part. Even if it had been six out of the ten months since he first met her, Izuku's heart still raced when she got as close as she often did to take blood from him.

"I-I think you'll have a h-hard time finding somewhere on me that isn't muscular at this point. All Might is a real slave driver where my training is involved."

Himiko was currently sprawled across Izuku's lap her feet dangling over the couch in the apartment. If Izuku's mom had been home they'd still be as close as they currently were, Himiko was entirely too clingy not to be all over Izuku if they were in the same room. Honestly, the only difference would be whether or not Himiko could take Izuku's blood. Neither of the teens had mentioned their routines to anyone when seeing each other, so Izuku's mom didn't know what they did while alone.

Depending on who had suggested when they should hang out that person would be the one to plan what they'd be doing, but without fail at least once when Himiko saw him she would sink her fangs into Izuku's shoulder and drink her fill.

Honestly, the blood-sucking itself wasn't a problem, it was the copious amount of hickeys he had almost constantly because of them.

Sometimes Izuku was sure Himiko left them on purpose just to mess with him. He could still remember his mom's reaction to the marks, it had been three months in and Izuku had already told his mom he'd met Himiko again after a long time and started hanging out with her.

"Izuku! Dinners ready," she had yelled drawing him into the kitchen with the inviting smell.

"Thanks , mom! Ever since I started training I've gotten loads more hungry than usual!"

"Of course sweetie but don't overdo it."

"I won't, I promise,"

"That means with Himiko-chan too," she had said drawing his attention with a frown in confusion.

The smirk he had seen on her face had filled him with dread, and the gentle point to the side of her neck where his hickeys were made him turn tomato red.

"Ugh, this is why you should let me take your shirt off," she whined kicking her feet," I bet I could find a good soft spot to bite into even with all your muscle."

"I'm good. You being this close is nerve-wracking enough with my shirt on, I might die of blood loss if I didn't have it."

Himiko stopped kicking her feet and sat up putting her entire weight on Izuku's crotch making him very uncomfortable," what if I let you bite me? Will that even it up enough to take your shirt off?"

If Izuku wasn't hot under the collar before he was practically smoking at those words," I-I could n-never do t-that to you T-Toga-chan!"

Her devastated pout made Izuku shut his mouth with a very loud snap," am I not your type Izu? Or do you not wanna do that stuff with me 'cause I'm creepy?"

"T-That's not it a-at all H-Himi-chan," Izuku stuttered using her preferred nickname to ease her worries," i-it's just I've n-never done that k-kinda stuff with anyone."

Her grin couldn't be described in any other way than lecherous as she gazed into Izuku's eyes like he was a mouse and she was a snake," that's fine Izu just lean in like this," she gently guided Izuku's head with her hands to angle into the crook of her neck, and then she gently stroked his jaw making it loosen so that his top teeth grazed gently against the soft skin," now just bite down a little, it doesn't have to be as hard as I bite but a little bit will feel nice.

The heady feeling of Himiko's hands stroking Izuku's face made his eyes flutter, before he knew what he was doing he had sunk his teeth gently into Himiko's shoulder. At first, all the girl did was continue to stroke his face, but as he bit down a fraction harder her hands began to comb through his hair.

And then she let out a very intense moan that made Izuku shoot backward letting her neck go. The pair gazed at one another very wide-eyed at the turn of events.

Of course, the first one to recover was Himiko and she leaned her head against Izuku's blushing neck resting it in the crook of his shoulder," sorry I couldn't help it. But you make little noises too when I bite you."

"I-I know, i-it's just that was a l-little intense. I don't know if we should do t-that again w-we're friends and I wouldn't want to make this m-more awkward than it already is."

For a few minutes, the pair sat in silence just watching recent hero news on the tv, and then Himiko broke the silence with a question that stopped Izuku's heart.

"Do you want to… be more than friends? Izu?"

The look on his face probably could've made everyone who'd ever known him his entire life all laugh in unison. Himiko for her part burst into laughter too.

"Y-You should s-see the l-look on your f-face!"

"Y-You were joking?" Izuku asked hurt evident on his face at being made fun of.

"No you huge dork," she said making him look her in the eyes," I just couldn't help it. So, what's your answer?"

Izuku's mind would normally be running a million miles a minute but all that came to him was the copious amounts of time he had been spending with Himiko over the past six months. From their surprise meeting to the first time they had properly hung out together just taking a walk around the city to find heroes and villains fighting.

It had been a huge surprise to Izuku that Himiko had the same hobby he did when she had suggested they walk around trying to see some fights.

Then after a while, they just started spending all of their free time together, even if it wasn't to do anything in particular like they were now. If Izuku was being honest he hadn't had more fun in his life than when he was with Himiko.

"I-I don't know w-what being your b-boyfriend would mean. I-I've barely had any friends and this is already so different to me."

Himiko's wide smile made Izuku blush with its uncharacteristic innocence," that's fine Izu I've never had a boyfriend, so we'll both be learning and having fun!"

"O-Okay, b-but only because it's you Himi-chan," Izuku relented closing his eyes in defeat.

"I just might not be able to-" before Izuku could continue he was cut short by a pair of very soft lips impacting his own.

Izuku's back went ramrod straight as Himiko kissed the dumbstruck Izuku sucking on his lower lip and gently biting it. The kiss was utterly mind-bending In Izuku's opinion, and as she continued the contact, Izuku could feel her tongue gently probing his lips asking for entry.

At first, Izuku considered pulling away, but his hormones won out and his lips parted allowing their tongues to wrestle for dominance. The tang of iron from his blood in Himiko's mouth added an odd and morbid twist to the situation that only made him blush deeper as the kiss continued. Eventually, Himiko won the battle of tongues and she now had free rein in his mouth.

Izuku's eyes had begun to haze over, his mind going fuzzy and before he knew it his shirt was over his head and Himiko was laying on top of him kissing his neck. She didn't bite his neck even once, she just lay gentle kisses along the flesh and gave the odd lick along his throat.

"Izuku! I'm home!"

The pair of them had never jumped apart from one another so fast in their lives when they heard Izuku's mom announce her entry. Izuku himself had never put a shirt on so fast in his entire life. His heart was pounding so hard in his chest that he was sure it was extremely close to bursting.

"Hi sweetie, oh hello Himiko-chan are you staying for dinner?"

"Y-yes ma'am, Izuku and I didn't have anything to do today so we just wanted to relax."

The blush on Himiko's face wasn't out of place and thankfully she had let her hair out of its characteristic buns to fall around her shoulders, so Izuku's bite mark from earlier wasn't visible.

"Well alright, we're having takoyaki. And Izuku honey?"

"Y-Yeah mom?"

A wide smirk crossed her face making the two teens freeze," your shirts inside out."

As Izuku covered his red face in unrestrained shame his mom turned the corner smirk never leaving her face.

Dinner had progressed very awkwardly as Izuku's mom never lost the knowing grin she shot toward the pair. Himiko still made conversation but Izuku was practically petrified by the situation, and he could hardly process what had happened earlier.

'If mom hadn't walked in how far would we have taken that?'

Looking over at Himiko at dinner Izuku thought he saw the same question in her own eyes as their gazes met and quickly broke away.

"Izuku, walk Himiko to the door it's getting late and you should both say goodbye!"

"Alright!" Izuku said from in the kitchen where he was currently washing dishes.

"That was a little awkward," Himiko said as she slipped her shoes on.

"Y-yeah," a pause passed between the two as they both just fidgeted looking anywhere but at one another," should we talk about where that was going earlier?"

Himiko's deep blush almost mirrored Izuku's own making him feel a bit relieved he wasn't the only one embarrassed about how far it had gone," yeah sorry Izu, I wanted to kiss you for a while and it just got out of hand."

"I-It was n-nice though," Izuku admitted staring at his feet the heat of his admission making its way to the roots of his green hair.

"Yeah," Himiko smiled approaching Izuku and wrapping him in a hug that warmed the space between them.

He could feel Himiko shift wanting to keep hugging but also wanting to see his face. This time Izuku had no doubt what she wanted and he obliged, gently leaning back and looking down at the girl. He wasn't quite brave enough to start the kiss but Himiko was more than bold enough.

This kiss was far more gentle than the last one had been, it was filled with emotion not colored by lust but a deep feeling neither of them could identify. This kiss was far shorter than the last one as they both stepped away with far-off looks in their eyes. Izuku had little scratches on his lips from Himiko's fangs.

"D-Do you want me to walk you home," Izuku asked looking down at the blushing girl.

"No, that's fine Izu, I can make it on my own," her devious smile made him frown in confusion.

When Himiko had left the apartment closing the door behind herself, Izuku finally caught sight of his mom who was smiling from around the living room corner with a large grin on her face.

"H-How long were you watching!?"

"Oh, just in the middle of you two… saying goodbye."

Izuku had a very strong suspicion she wasn't meaning him offering to walk her home, and she meant more along the lines of that kiss they had.

"I-I'm going to my room, goodnight mom," Izuku ran to his room not bothering to turn the lights on, and just collapsed on his bed slamming his pillow over his face in mortification.

"Uuuuuugh," he groaned into his pillow.

tap* *tap* *tap*

The noise he was hearing made him frown, it sounded like it was coming from his balcony but that couldn't be right they were on the third floor and there weren't any stairs to get on the apartment balconies.

tap* *tap* *tap*

Sighing heavily, Izuku slowly walked over to the balcony door/window and brushed the curtain to the side to peer out. He had expected to see the familiar site of the city illuminated at night and an empty balcony, but what greeted him was a pair of glowing yellow eyes and a very wide white smile.

Suppressing a yelp of surprise, Izuku opened the balcony door his eyes wide with confusion," how did you get on the balcony were three floors up?"

A simmering and intense kiss was his only answer as Himiko renewed the heated kiss from earlier. The pair stumbled backward, Himiko tripping lightly on the balcony's lip. Thankfully Izuku's new training regiment had granted him significantly more muscle than he used to have and he easily lifted the girl up, her legs wrapping around the boy's waist.

Izuku tried in vain to hold the girl up by only placing his hands on her back, but that quickly began to fail as she slid down and he instinctively flailed his arms down to find a better point to hold her.

A soft gasp escaped Himiko's lips as Izuku's hands firmly grasped her butt with each hand. To his utter shock, he had somehow managed to miss the girl's skirt entirely and place his hands against the bare skin of her rear.

"Getting a little frisky aren't you Izu?" She asked teasing the poor boy by wiggling lightly in his grasp.

"S-Sorry I just d-didn't want you to f-fall!"

"It's alright, maybe we should just go over to your bed though just in case," she smiled her eyes half-lidded.

Izuku gulped audibly, light steps padding over to his bed and crouching down to place Himiko on the bed as softly as he could. But the girl knew what Izuku was going to do and quickly pulled him down with her before he could back away.

The pair stared at one another both blushing but Izuku, as usual, was worse off than Himiko.

Himiko leaned back into the boy continuing the kiss, her tongue slipped into Izuku's mouth again but thankfully this kiss was a mix between the one from earlier and the soft kiss they had shared not even moments ago downstairs. Himiko's soft touch traced down Izuku's face and down to his shirt, which she started lifting over Izuku's head.

"I-I don't think we should go this f-far," Izuku said breathlessly, eyes darting all over Himiko's blushing face," a-at least not now."

Himiko frowned but nodded still taking the shirt off of Izuku and tossing it to the foot of his bed," all right but I don't wanna go home tonight, is it alright if I sleep with you?"

Izuku's heart nearly exploded at the thought of that, but he couldn't think of any reason to say no to her.

"O-Okay but I don't have any pajamas for you that would fit."

Himiko winked at him as she lightly padded to the foot of his bed," that's why I took this," she said waving the shirt at Izuku.

Without warning, Himiko began removing her school sweater, unbuttoning her undershirt, removing her skirt, and then slid Izuku's shirt over her shoulders making him nearly have a heart attack at the sight.

"P-pink," he whispered covering his eyes in vain to try and forget the color of Himiko's underwear.

"Bet you're regretting not going all the way now," she stuck her tongue out at Izuku teasing him," too bad now I'm tired, and I need a nice cushion, so lay down."

Without arguing Izuku lay back onto his pillow shifting to the right to give Himiko room on the bed, but he might as well have stayed where he was because Himiko all but lay on top of him.

He may have been far more stimulated in this moment than in his entire life, but he had the common decency to ask after Himiko's well-being," are you cold?"

"A little bit," she answered wiggling closer to Izuku and resting her head on his should.

Izuku sat up a bit making Himiko protest slightly before she saw what he had clutched in his hand. The comfortable whisper of a blanket covering the pair made them both relax as much as possible.

Before long Izuku could hear the steady in and out of Himiko's sleeping breath. At first, he was certain he would never get to sleep tonight, but the comfortable proximity of Himiko and her welcome warmth in his typically cold room made him begin to doze off with a soft smile on his face.

'If this is what it's like to have a girlfriend then I'm starting to like it.'
