WARNING ‼️
The following chapter contains VERY strong sexual activity, do NOT read if thats too sensitive for some readers.
Once ready, the two transferred rooms, no one was about, and the commotion downstairs told them it was safe to proceed to Izuku's room. The slight chill from entering hit them for a bit as Izuku wandered over to his desk to turn on his lamp to see in dim lighting while Ciana locked his door just to be safe, moving back to his side as he stretched, popping a few joints with a sigh.
"Hehe… um, should I wear a blindfold for this or are you really sure you can tame me when I'm a dragon?" Ciana makes a joke with a chuckle in the end to try and ease the awkwardness of what her dragon side does, despite freaking out on the inside as she was what might happen when she's out of control…
"There's a follow-up joke there that I'm not brave enough to try," Izuku laughed a bit, taking her hands in his. "I can handle this, promise, wish Danger Sense worked for this but it only detects bloodlust from experience so I'll rely on my reflexes to look away,"
Ciana smiled a little, squeezing his hands in hers. "O-okay, I-I just hope I can keep it together enough to not do something to scare you…" Ciana takes a few deep breaths first, then… as much as she hated her form, Ciana begun to glow again as her hair changed color again, grew scales and horns and her nails slowly growing sharper, opening her eyes to see the change… which caused her to flinch, but not as shaky as she was before so far.
"Judging by the heat, and the rough patches on the backs of your palms, I'm assuming you're in dragon form?" Izuku inquired, his brow moving up to compensate for his closed eyes. "See, I may need a play by play,"
"Y-you can still look but I'm just saying don't look at my eyes…" Ciana clarifies, staring down at her hands in Izuku's with her brows furrowed worryingly. "W-when I was fighting those vines back in the fantasy world, in dragon mode I acted kinda ferocious the way I was tearing them with my own claws, it was scary but knew it was necessary to go all out…"
Ciana took another deep breath. "The dragon shifter I met said I have to embrace that side, I can see what he meant but I'm still kinda shaky how different I behave than normal…"
Blinking, Izuku took to inspecting her arms, holding her right to press down and analyse the structure now that the thin veil of light was gone. "Seems your form's solidified now... and yeah, I think I understand what they meant, some with keen animal quirks learn to embrace their instincts until it becomes as natural as breathing, but since they do it from an early age when their quirks manifest, they have years to train mentally, but you've got to do the same only in less time, which you've gotten a good handle on thus far,"
His hands moved up to her shoulders, feeling around them and her neck, the same scales had formed a solid armour. Keeping his eyes to her lap, Izuku raised his fingers to her horns, running his fingers across their curved structure, they were firm now.
Ciana blushed furiously the way he was touching and analyzing her when it came to her scales and horns… closing her eyes as she felt pretty sensitive in some places. "I-I know it's really weird how my appearance is now…!" Ciana never bothered to gaze long at her full appearance as she was scared how terrifying she looked. "I-it's weird enough my hair has changed color but the horns and scales makes me more of a mutant…" Ciana tried to have some willpower as she felt she was having the urge already to hold Izuku…
"Shoji might be best to ask about that, Koda, Tokoyami, Ashido, even others in the school. Discrimination is still a large factor of society despite the years between our two worlds, but there are positives to having an ability like this," Izuku replied, moving his fingers through her golden hair, upon closer inspection, it wasn't as if her hair was dyed, rather, light seemed to run off from her roots down her strands with a faint, white shimmer. "Despite your dragon appeal, you're still very much human, and in time, you'll certainly be an amazing person - who knows, maybe Edgeshot will take you to see Ryukyu next time you work with him!"
"M-maybe…" Ciana opened her eyes again to reveal her beastly irises, blinking while her gaze was down and feeling warm inside. "I-I don't really feel human as much anymore, m-my own dad would freak if he saw how different I look right now…" She presses her fingers together anxiously. "My difference is easily noticed when my eyes change after all…"
"But he's your Dad, if he's anything like your Mom, seeing as she possibly was watching over you, then he'd be thankful you're alive, safe, and happy," That was his reasoning behind it just from how Ciana talked about them. Lastly for his inspection, Izuku ran his hands to her sides, lifting her shirt slightly to see that some scales formed along her sides now but nothing else. "It appears to be stable, that glow no longer appears in a normal state now, really, you're doing an amazing job,"
[‼️] Ciana flinched and turned even more red when he lifted her shirt and touched her sides, barely listening when Izuku was doing that as it made it harder to keep in control… next thing both of them know it, Ciana brought her arms around Izuku to hold him close. The urge to be closer has grown stronger and she couldn't hold back any longer…
"That's a tight grip," Izuku wheezed slightly but thankfully could still breathe despite his face pressed to her soft chest. Heaven by many, experienced by few his age. His hand raised to rest on her shoulder tenderly. "It's okay, I know you were trying really hard,"
Ciana just smiled now and sighed happily, nuzzling her face against his chest. Ciana felt she's right where she wants to be and didn't dare think about letting go.
Izuku's head rested atop hers, staring ahead as he eyed her horns as the shimmer of her hair made them and his chin glow a bit. His hands rubbed her back, hearing her hum in delight. He had control still, so far, it may very well be her gaze, though that was a little disappointing since he loved her eyes, but can't be too careful.
Ciana was happy enough being in her mates arms, but already her gaze lifts up slighty to eye her lover… Her eyes were glowing and twinkling again just from feeling the love she has toward him and the urge to cherish Izuku. Leaning her face up, she started to kiss his neck and up, Ciana's instincts already kicking to high gear.
Letting out a sigh, Izuku closed his eyes to enjoy the feeling from over a month ago send a small shiver down his body. His hands loosened to rest by her waist again before an idea came to mind based on facts he's heard; lifting one hand to her right horn, he felt around the rigid horn, since they were sensitive, it was rough but gave him something to focus on as her lips traced under his jaw.
The gesture surprisingly brought a purr out of her, seeming to enjoy the feeling her lover was displaying, with her hands moving to his shoulders… Ciana now nipped her lovers neck, aroused by the way Izuku was treating her already.
Izuku, upon hearing her purr made his heartbeat rise, as well as the nips to his skin made his body tense in delight. Getting more comfortable, he brought his left hand to her cheek, guiding her to continue until, with his eyes closed, he drew her lips to his, still running his hand over her horn while feeling her fangs with his tongue again.
Ciana purred and hummed in delight by what he was doing, she fell more into her instincts now the way he kept pleasing her. Ciana pressed herself against Izuku's body more and her arms went around his neck to deepen their kiss.
Making out for a solid minute without rest, their lips parted with some spit, while Ciana gazed longingly at her lover, Izuku smiled tenderly back, his eyes remaining shut as he leaned down a bit, feeling around her neck to guide his lips to her skin, his carnal kisses leading into little bites of her delicate skin as her hold on him tightened.
Ciana let out another soft moan and purr, her eyes closed slightly to savor the blissful feeling of her lovers bites and kiss. Ciana cocked her head to let him continue, purring more in the process the longer he continued.
Tracing her skin through memory alone, Izuku continued to shower her in affection and care, unbuttoning the first two of her shirt to free up her collarbone, licking her skin before nipping it, listening to the gorgeous sound of her purrs and soft moans that were music to his ears. God, how he missed this feeling, holding her, and treasuring her in this intimate setting...
The dragon girl had no objections and blushed very pink while letting out more soft sounds from what Izuku was doing to please her. She even panted as she stayed still to enjoy the feeling. This caused her hands to go behind her lover's back, slipping her hand under his shirt to get a feel of his own body the dragon girl wanted to touch.
Silently tending to her body, much to his own selfish pleasure, Izuku traced down to certain spots she liked, pinching skin between his teeth gently toward her cleavage while her hand ran along under his shirt, warm to the touch like a blanket, causing his muscles to relax in her loving embrace.
Ciana held him tighter, her smile perked up in pleasure as she kept on purring and running her fingers around his back. Leaning her own face down to nuzzle in the crook of his neck as her lover still pleased her, looking happy and where she wants to be.
With her head moving his out of the way, Izuku felt it appropriate to bring his hands away from her horns, unbuttoning the rest of her shirt to allow his hands to massage her torso instead as her face pressed to his neck with a hot breath. There wasn't much thought to ask her, wanting to feel her skin again, the tenderness of her lips on his, to cherish any and all moments he could with her like nothing else mattered.
Ciana hummed and moaned out feeling the way his lips felt on her neck and his hands holding and cherishing her body, she felt weak in his hold enough to melt from his affections and had to hold her lover tighter for support. Freeing one hand to run her fingers in his soft green locks Ciana still adored.
Leaning back after a bit, Izuku drew his gaze to her light green bra under her shirt, feeling his throat dry a bit, he moved one hand around to her back, feeling where it connected as he paused. Her hold on him didn't let up, nor did she give any verbal complaint, so with a bit of a tussle, he saw the straps loosen and fall to display her breasts in the dim lighting as his face heated up at the sight. Bringing back his right hand, he gently ran it over her left breast, squeezing it, causing his heart to soar with a whisper, unsure if it were true or just his imagination running wild. "...they've grown slightly..."
Ciana giggled at the cute way her lover was reacting to her body, even blushing the way he touched her which made her feel more drawn to him. Ciana still had her dragon personality intact and what might surprise him is that she gently pushed Izuku onto his bed… now hovering on top of her mate as her beastly gaze eyed his face.
Closing his eyes to avoid her possible gaze, much to his annoyance, the result of his new position made the heat rise in his cheeks, feeling his hand squeeze her chest tighter as a result. "H-having fun?" He murmured jokingly, himself enjoying the moment regardless if he could see it or not. "You're... r-really cute, not a-as if that would ever change,"
Ciana let out a noise from the tight squeeze, her eyes have begun to look more primal as her gaze eyed her lover longingly. Without a word the dragon girl might have reached down towards his shorts without realizing her motive…
Finally opening his eyes, Izuku noticed where her hands were, then, with a small spark of OFA at his fingertips, he silently apologized and struck her forehead in that sweet spot. The discharge caused her eyes to go cross-eyed as their glow fizzled out, and once more, she sat straddling his waist as she whined, cupping her forehead. Izuku sighed with relief, and flopped onto his back again, though did her the liberty of fixing one button on her shirt to hide her chest a bit.
"Sorry, you okay?" He asked softly.
"Ow…" Ciana rubbed her forehead from the sudden pain, blinking her eyes a few times to process just what happened. "Yeah, but… t-that's one hard fling you did…" Though noticing her buttons were undone and her chest was showing… Ciana squealed with a red flushed face as she quickly covered them, turning around as she button them back in place. "D-did I just go wild on you again…?!" Ciana turned her head to eye Izuku confusingly and very embarrassingly.
"Erm... a bit? Nothing too crazy compared to prior times," He sat up, still as red as her but helped her fix her shirt. "At least in moments like this, I can just flick you out of it, though I'd rather not hurt you..." Then he realized... her eyes weren't glowing like when she displayed her aquatic form, but her dragon appearance remained. "How do you feel?"
"Completely embarrassed and weirded out by myself…" Ciana was still bashfully red but then perked up when realizing something. "Hey wait a second…" Surly dragon her didn't do that herself, and the position she was in with Izuku… Ciana now begun to eye Izuku as she narrowed them suspiciously. "Izuku… why was my shirt undone when I was out of it…?"
His breath died a little in his throat, caught like a deer in headlights as he looked off to the side. "...n-no reason..." Then he deflated. "T-that was me... i-ironic that I was the o-one that got... a little carried a-away," Not like he could move, she still pinned his waist, so the steam coming off his head was evident.
Ciana could barely remember what happened, but started to look aggravated and confused at the same time, it felt like he was taking advantage of her, though did he stare into her eyes? "Izuku… I asked you to help me, not have my dragon side pleasure you!" She crossed her arms now and looked away, looking pretty upset now as she climbed off him. hardly believing he would even make a fool out of herself…
"S-sorry..." This seemed to be a running trend with him making these mistakes, maybe he was the problem... no wonder she... Stomaching that awful thought, he kept his eyes to their laps. "That wasn't fair to you, relying on me... probably isn't a good idea... if I can't even muster self control," Now he felt hot from embarrassment; this is why he's better off - stop that.
Ciana let out a sigh, it's so strange that Izuku would do this when he's usually too embarrass at the idea of being in a intimate position with a girl. She turned her head to eye him again. "Did you end up staring into my eyes that made you act that way?"
"...no, I completely avoided them," Which only made that pit widen. "A-another reason I'm really n-no better than your quirk's instincts."
Pulling his legs out, he gave a tight smile, "You've gotten better at controlling them, that's more than what I could've helped with, really," And he meant that, still feeling sick to his stomach. "I'll be back, just going to the bathroom real quick," He at least mustered the strength to squeeze her hand, leaving Ciana with her thoughts, and a strong pull at his negative pool of emotions.
Ciana frowned at his direction as she sat on his bed in confusion. "Maybe I was too harsh again… but, what has gotten into him to be that way with me when I was in dragon mode?" Ciana tilted her head in more confusion. "He's definitely not the type to be like Kaminari or Mineta… does he really just find my dragon side more attractive after all?" Ciana crossed her arms again and looked down at her lap to process his behavior.
Left to mull it over, she eyed his desk illuminated by the lamp. Moving to her feet, Ciana fixed her shirt a bit, walking over to see a mess of pages, sketches, and other items. Shifting the pages a bit, she saw some were still rough drawings of... a dragon? Others were of her, some were scribbled out messes she couldn't decipher. Furrowing her brow, she glanced to the bathroom door, then back to the desk to move some pages into a pile, seeing a book piled underneath. With narrowed eyes, she felt the faint traces of Izuku's aura on them, the same negative remnant present.
Eyeing the entry, it was messy considering who it belonged to, but she manged to read what wasn't being scribbled out as if to pretend it didn't exist. '-fault? She hated him, probably, maybe... -I've tried for hours to think in her shoes, did nothing... -failure of a partner, I'm the worst... guilt tripping? I probably did that a lot too... -she's better off without...'. The whole paragraph was in shambles, bits and pieces of disjointed thoughts spat onto a page, flicking one over, it was the same on the previous pages, most, if not all the pages were torn or made illegible.
Ciana gasped when she witnessed this, her hand going over mouth in shock seeing what Izuku went through when she was gone. Her hand stayed on her mouth as she kept staring at the written words Izuku wrote, but was confused why he think her absence was his fault. "I-I don't understand… after I passed out in his arms I expressed how happy I was with him and healed him to show I cared, why… w-why would he blame himself like for that?"
This left a sick feeling in her stomach, seeing and reading what her absence has done to Izuku. Causing her eyes to water. "W-what have I done…" now her gaze goes to the bathroom door, her tears begin to leak out from her eyes finding out more about his inner dark feelings.
She clenched her fist, looking back to the sketches, moving others aside. Ones of her, a dragon, and... a Gatestone, but then one appeared to be a butterfly, the exact same shape and design of her hairpin. It was by far the clearest and most detailed drawing, looking to the bottom corner, it was dated... over two weeks after she was gone, the rest were all from... the first week. Sniffing a bit, she rubbed her eyes, hearing the door to the bathroom open with a Izuku rubbing his neck a bit, looking a little less forced in how he expressed himself, but his aura was still swamped by guilt and shame.
Though what might not expect him, the moment Ciana saw him come out, she immediately threw her arms around him. Ciana even was crying as she sobbed in his shoulder in guilt…
"H-huh? What's wrong?" Izuku asked, his hands hesitant to touch her, eyes downcast. "...it's me who should be upset,"
She shook her head in response, Ciana begun to tremble as her crying gaze stayed on Izuku's shoulder in shame herself. "I'm sorry… I-I'm so sorry…" Ciana murmured out, her grip tightened more around him as she felt terrible what she put her hero through…
"Stop lying!" She shouted a bit, her embrace becoming tighter. "I-I never realized what I pulled would make you go through this much pain, I-I just wanted to protect you but instead I ended up breaking your heart…" her hands moved up to Izukus has now to clutch his shirt as she still shook in sorrow.
"Y-you did nothing wrong… I-I was scared which is why I left… b-but I still completely betrayed you and your trust… I-I don't deserve you… y-you deserve so much better than me…" Ciana cried out and wailed, now hating herself.
Then it clicked, just like Jiro, she saw through it when everyone else gave him space. Worst yet? She saw... exactly what he wanted to get rid of, he completely forgot about the book... Knowing that, his shell crumbled, hands trembling as they gripped the back of her shirt, shuttering a breath. "...everything I said in that first week... I didn't know how... how to process everything, b-but it was all just lies, I... I just really missed you...!" His voice broke, squeezing his eyes shut into her shoulder. "I-I just felt s-so scared that my lack of s-self control only d-drove that nail in further... it's you who I felt d-deserved better... and that scared me..."
Guilt, anger, grief, confusion, longing, it was a horrid pool of emotions in his heart, but worst of all... was fear. Fear she'd leave again... it terrified him.
Ciana lifted her gaze to eye him painfully, her tears still streamed. She sniffled, freeing one hand as she placed it on the back of his head as her other embraced him closer. "T-there was nothing wrong with what happened, if you just been honest and told me this in the first place then I would of understood better… thats no reason for me to hate you."
Ciana smiled a little but her tears kept gling. "Don't you remember what I promised you after we left the beach? I said I promised I come back to you no matter what if I had to use the gatestone, and I did… because I don't want to be apart from you."
His eyes were red too, tears dripping off his chin as he nodded shakily. "...it's n-no excuse for all the dumb t-thing I've done to you, trusting me to help you..." Sucking in a quivering breath, he held his arms around her tightly. "...I-I was so happy you came back... b-because I finally could prove that stupid book w-wrong!" His voice seethed, a tiny smile appearing. "I love you... I love you so much..."
Ciana felt so warm and happy hearing what he said but didn't feel like she deserved it at the same time. But her smile widen despite her tears as her face lowered in the crook of his neck. "I love you too… more than you ever know, enough that my love for you could never fade." Ciana honestly and happily expresses, never ever wanting to be anywhere without him.
Staying like this for a few minutes, Izuku eventually let her go to grab the book from his desk, looking down at it's contents with a sour face as he rubbed his eyes dry. "Jiro snapped me out of... this, after about two weeks, and after you came back I wanted this torn apart but I kept side-tracking myself, I-I guess a part of me still believed this crap," Not wanting to mince his words, he closed the book, eyeing Ciana. "A-at some point... can you help me get rid of this? S-so I don't ever have to think of this again? None of what happened was on you, I-I really don't blame you, this w-was a... dark spot for me, I-I've never had to deal with grief before now."
Ciana still eye him with her tear stained eyes as her gaze looks down at the book in hand, nodding as she takes hold of it. Frowning more as she stared down at it, wondering how he would be if anything ever happened to her… a thought that scared Ciana as her gripped tightened on the book. "I will, but Izuku… like how you wanted me to open up to you, please open up to me when you ever still feeling this much pain." Ciana lifts her gaze back to him seriously, now she was the one worried about his mental health.
"That..." He looked to the awful reminder of those days where he felt completely alone again with his thoughts, mostly because he allowed himself to fall into that mentality. "...there's something, long before I met you... t-though I don't feel that's a great topic right now," Pinching the bridge of his nose to help his eyes, he sighed, clearing his throat from crying too. "I-I didn't mean for... all of that, this-" He held up the book again. "-is just a bad memory; still, my point stands, I swear, anytime your instincts take over without your control, I'll snap you out of it, what I did tonight wasn't fair to you."
"If I have known you were still just going through the pain of missing me then I wouldn't have been harsh, I was just confused. Just be honest with me next time Izuku." Her hand goes to his cheek as she tries to smile comforting for him. "I trust you enough not to have made me go the whole way while being like that, you at least kept your word to me."
Placing his hand over hers, he returned the nod. "And you will, but... same to you, I know you probably feel guilty for what happened to me, i-it's part of why I was hiding it, I-I didn't want you to beat yourself up over it either,"
"I was already feeling bad enough anyways for scaring you." Her gaze narrowed in more concern toward her hero. "Izuku, please… promise me no matter what, you'll stay strong and never give up on your dreams or lose sight of yourself. I don't want to be the reason you give up on anything." She pleaded him as she continued to stare into Izukus eyes.
"I won't..." He grabbed a different notebook from a drawer on his desk, it wasn't labelled as he flicked it open, the context filled on everything to do with One For All. "After Jiro, as well as Todoroki, Iida, and Uraraka got me out of my funk, I put all my efforts into training. I thought to myself, 'if she's gone, then get stronger to be a better hero, and find her', I kept repeating that, working and improving with All Might... then I uncovered more on Danger Sense, All Might's been looking into the prior holders since I've heard nothing since Hosu,"
He gave her a firm but bright look. "I won't ever give up on who I am, nor will I ever give up on you, to protect both my dreams, I'll become the strongest hero I can be," No more wallowing or guilt-tripping, Izuku Midoriya.
Ciana was very happy and grateful to hear that of him, her eyes staring at him with admiration and relief as she grinned more now knowing Izuku won't ever give up. "Good, I really appreciate you saying that." Ciana wipes her tears from her eyes but still smiling and happier looking. "Continue doing that and I promise I'll never ever leave your side, not like I wanted to anyways." She giggled, but then her gaze begun to look a bit serious again knowing she still might be in trouble.
"Listen, remember what I suggested to you what I do now if I end up getting kidnapped someday without you knowing?" Ciana wanted to work out strategies with him in case that day ever comes again when he's not around.
"Yeah?" He sat down at his bed, patting the space next to him. Ciana quickly joined his side, snuggling against it to look at his 'confidential' book. "What did you have in mind?" By his expression, he was just as serious.
Taking her hairpin out of her hair, Ciana eyed him while gesturing to her mothers butterfly hair clip. "Back at the hospital when I received that scary message of this guy targeting me, who knows when he, Meru or All For One will show up to take me when I'm vulnerable. I left my hairclip before as a sign of goodbye but also in a way saying I will be back for it… but now, I want to use it as a signal to you I'm in danger."
The girl suggests again, wanting to use that sign differently now for a better message. "If you ever see this laying behind again, I'm leaving it to let you know that something has happened to me and when you do see it, I know you will come for me like you always do."
Looking up from his book, he gave her and the hairpin a hard look. Then his eyes shot wide. "...or the other way around," Then it hit him, smiling at her. "Hatsume! O-or really any Support Course student; they can put a tracker in your hairpin, as small as communicators used by Pros in the field, no one would notice it!" Then he frowned, making an annoyed noise. "But then there's the case of a jammer or EMP... well, maybe both then? So you leaving this behind is a sign for me, but have a secondary tracker in the event there is no interference?"
Ciana eye lit up at this, leave it to Izuku to come up with a better way to signal and call for help. "That's actually a perfect idea!" Ciana beamed, grinning wider at the smart suggestion. "I know our phones have trackers in them since you signaled me and Shoto for help before during that fight with Stain, if I can have a GPS in it then that should be enough to find me, but…"
That's when her hand went to her chin. "Even if I do have it used as a tracker… how will I let you know something bad has happened to me? It's the only sign I can think of to reach you."
"The tracker would be one thing, but your sudden absence would be another key clue given that all the staff at UA are made aware of your issues with villains outside of the League; there's also all our friends, one of them is bound to notice if not me," Izuku explained. "Granted, we can't expect to be ready for every situation, but a good basis of your hairpin for me, as well as a tracker you can activate in the event you're outside UA grounds as an added precaution, maybe have it linked to people you trust like me? Or even All Might or Mr Aizawa,"
She nodded at this, knowing it be smart for them to know. "I'm sure they will want to do something to come to the rescue, but I'm afraid about not only All Might and his condition but they won't let you help… I mean we're not official hero's after all and they don't usually let us do any hero duties without a pro give permission." Remembering the incident with Stain, the police dog was pretty firm they shouldn't hadn't acted out without being real hero's yet.
"That's true, again, circumstances apply; but the more that have your location, the faster word can be brought to the Pros at UA to act on it instantly; who knows, you could end up leading them straight to Meru Zena... though the situation wouldn't be ideal," Izuku didn't like to think of using her like bait, but there was a pro to the issue at hand. "In any case, I'll jot it down when we speak with Mr Aizawa after your exams, anything else?"
"Yeah actually…" recalling about Izuku said of other people knowing she can trust to aid her, she definitely knows who else could help besides Izuku. "Normally I wouldn't ever want to put anyone in danger… but I know how hard they want to thrive to be hero's and aid others, what if we have Shoto and Katsuki be on this too?"
Ciana has noticed the three are pretty powerful, Kirishima and her other classmates are very strong too but she didn't want to get everyone involved. Thinking they be the best amount to work together. "I mean if they are up for it… I trust them when it comes to all of us working together as a team."
Nodding, Izuku wrote their names under the list of details. "That's three then, five if we include All Might and Eraserhead... any of the girls? Or keep this a tight circle for now?"
"Hm…" Ciana thinks it over with her hand on her chin, Jiro is a really good spy and even Urakuka has some pretty good strategies knowing how she fought with Bakugo and work with Izuku during both the entry test and the premonition of those two, Yaoyorozu is also really smart as well like Iida and pretty creative when it comes to her quirk and coming up with her own strategies.
"Well Urakuka, Jiro and Yaoyorozu would actually be pretty helpful too in this, I would suggest Iida to be included but after the damage he got into his arm by Stain I'm a bit worried how that's effecting him how he fights." Iida is still strong and noticed he is still moving fine, but he was already put in enough danger with Stain… she doesn't want to put him through her own problems.
"Jiro's quirk is stealth-based so that makes sense, Uraraka is an interesting choice but a trustworthy person, Yaoyorozu seems to have a lot more confidence in her practical thinking after her exam, or at least she seems to be doing better since the Sports Festival," Izuku listed off his observations, squeezing her hand at her worry for the Class Rep. "Iida's doing more than fine, his hand doesn't seem to trouble him too much, and his style is more in his legs than his arms so you don't need to worry. But again, feel free to modify this list beforehand,"
Ciana squeezed his hands back as her smile turned a bit relieved. "Well just in case I feel he's been through enough after what happened with Stain and his brother… but I still believe nothing will stop him from being a hero." Ciana still had faith in her friends, but still prayed Iida will continue having the strength to be a strong hero. Now leaning her head on Izuku's shoulder.
"Maybe Kirishima could help too unless you think that's enough? I wouldn't want to put everyone else in danger, especially you…" Ciana began to frown in a fearful manner. "The guy who is now haunting me was so sick and twisted enough to seem like he wouldn't hold back hurting anyone, I-I'm afraid I will lead you to what happened with Iida… I-I'm still scared whatever happens it'll be my fault…"
Ciana leaned her face more in the crook of his neck, all she wanted to do was protect him from herself knowing she's a big target to strong powerful villains. Knowing how her mother died to save someone had her still fear of losing Izuku. What Ciana fears more than anything is losing another loved one, especially someone who means all the worlds to her.
His chin pressed to her head. "I know... I'm being targeted by All For One if he finds out about me, and I doubt the impression I left on that hand-guy from the League is a good one. I mean, I'm scared I'll drag everyone around me into conflicts we're not ready for, the USJ and Hosu are good examples, but... I don't want to live in constant fear, this life comes with risks, trying to push others away and outright prevent any mistakes isn't possible, even someone as great as All Might has limits..."
"We both have enemies that will eventually come for us, and we'll need to be ready for them, regardless if we want to avoid it," In the end, as much as it pained Izuku to think of ever losing his friends, his teachers, or heaven forbid, Ciana... he had to remember he had others to fight alongside him, even if he hates that idea, to survive, it's a necessary evil he'd graciously accept. With a small shrug, he stared ahead. "Maybe I'm talking from ignorance, but I don't want you facing every battle alone, even if you screamed at me, I'll still have your back,"
Ciana glances up at him slightly as her smile rose a little from his dedication. "I know you will, I always had faith in you. But that doesn't mean I'll allow you to break a bone…" now narrowing her eyes both playfully and seriously.
"As I've stated, if I'm in a life-threatening situation, then yes, but other than that? I will avoid as much," He answered nervously. Despite how many people have said he's got grit for withstanding that kind of pain, it was still very much agonizing to endure.
"If your mother knew what your doing to yourself…" The girl sighs dramatically, then eyes his hand as she lifts it up to see the scars left on them. Looking concerned about his pain. "You have to think more wisely what you do to yourself Izuku… what if you end up getting your whole arm blown off? Or even amputated…"
"Which is why it's a good motivator to harness OFA as quickly as possible to avoid that," He closed his hand around hers, eyeing the small scarring from the few times he's broken bones, thankfully, not that many so the scars weren't severe.
"It's still best to take it at a slow pace so you don't have this happening more often…" Ciana was still surprised he even still managed to keep his limbs from how many times he broke them. "But that's why I'm here looking after you… I'll even heal you the best I can if necessary." Now smiling with dedication towards her hero too, gripping his hand more as she said this.
He opened his mouth to say otherwise, but relented, and instead kissed her forehead, "Thank you," Then a yawn cut through his lips right after, making him rub his right eye.
Ciana blushed happily and smiled more from the kiss, giggling at the cute way he looked tired. "Guess that's our cue to hit the hay, I probably should head back anyways to catch up on more work before bed." She goes to stand up now.
"Maybe tomorrow morning we could round up our friends together to discuss our plan before heading to school? Unless you want to think through this more before we do anything." Ciana knew Izuku is a great leader so she believes he would know what's best to do.
"Right, I'll think of something before we go to talk with Mr Aizawa, once that's out of the way, any free time you have we can relax, it is summer break," Izuku was training-obsessed but took it easier now that he had the chance, of course, offering to help Ciana if she was struggling a bit.
"That's true, so make sure you even take it easy to rest that big brain of yours. Last thing we want is to overload it after all…" She chuckles after her joke, then walks to his door, pausing when she grabbed the handle. "Oh, and Izuku…"
Ciana looks back at her hero with a loving smile. "No matter what you do or say, always know I could never bring myself to hate you. I still love you no matter what." She expresses honestly and lovingly to her beloved hero and best friend.
Despite how many times he's screwed up, she kept saying that, sometimes, Izuku didn't understand Ciana at all. Tired still, he managed a small smile, "...I really don't deserve you... b-but the same, I love you too," That would never change. "Goodnight,"
"Goodnight Izuku, your much more deserving than you think." She cocked her head and smiled more cutely before stepping out now, making another reference to his locket 'Being so much more'. Ciana closed the door behind her as she goes to head back to her room. "Sheesh, I wonder how much work I even have left over…?" Already the girl dreaded getting back to work.
