"Do you have your spiral notebook?"

"Yes."

"Your pencil case?"

"Yes."

"And you packed your books and not just a bunch of action figures?"

"Jeez! Yes, mom. I'm not in elementary school anymore. I've gotta go or I'll be late," Izuku complained slinging his backpack over his shoulder.

"Izu," Eri whined gripping his pant legs," I don't want you to go!"

Izuku smiled down at the girl rubbing her head affectionately," I won't be gone long. Besides mom will be here, and Himiko will come by after a little while."

The girl's cute pout almost made him stay, but today was the first day of school and he couldn't miss it no matter what.

"I'll be off, be sure to hug Himiko for me. Alright, Eri?"

"O-Okay," she nodded going over to Izuku's mom to watch him leave.

He felt bad, but he couldn't exactly ditch on the first day,' I'll be back! So don't you worry Eri!'

If he was going to get to school on time after how long he'd taken to get ready, he'd need to run almost the entire time.

'Well it's good cardio, I guess I can count this as endurance training,' he thought to himself as buildings and people passed him.

The run wouldn't be too long, maybe ten minutes. All Might had made him run a lot longer while training, so this wouldn't be too difficult.

"Hey, Izu!"

A pair of soft white hands wrapped around his middle, making him jump very high. And then he realized it was Himiko behind him, her arms were surprisingly strong, and had completely arrested his momentum.

The flowery scent Himiko always had was also a big giveaway, the telltale metallic smell underneath may have been unidentifiable to most people. But he knew that smell was most likely blood.

'It makes sense, she's almost always taking my blood.'

"Hey Himiko," Izuku laughed gripping her hands.

"Aww, no fair you knew it was me?" She asked.

"Obviously. You're the only person aside from Eri that calls me Izu," he laughed turning to look at the girl," wanna walk with me to school?"

"Sure," she smiled," so what do you think you're going to be doing?"

Izuku thought about it," maybe the entrance ceremony, and getting acquainted with my classmates?"

"Now don't go cheating on me ya hear," Himiko giggled wagging her finger at Izuku.

"W-W-What? H-H-Himiko I'd n-never do that?"

Izuku could practically hear the wide toothy grin she shot his way," ya better not or I'll definitely drain ya dry!"

"Well, that's fine, if I'm ever dumb enough to do that all of my blood is yours. Oh, by the way, when will your school be starting?"

"Hmm? I graduated last year."

"Oh that's nice," a second of silence lingered between the pair," wait, what! You graduated already? You're eighteen?"

The confused blush she sent Izuku made him even more dumbstruck.

"Well yeah, I thought you knew I was older than you when we lived close to each other. I mean we were never in the same classes. Why? You uninterested in an old hag like me now?"

"Y-You idiot," Izuku huffed at the girl," it doesn't matter how old you are, I was just surprised that's all. I guess that means you can keep Eri company while I'm at school though, that's great!"

"See, there are perks to dating an older woman! Oh and I'm seventeen my eighteenth isn't until August."

"D-Do you know how old I am?"

"Yep, you're fifteen you just turned last July!"

'Wow, not even a moment's hesitation,'

"Sorry, I never asked about your birthday," Izuku said looking down and feeling ashamed.

"It's fine, that just means you're gonna have to make it up to me on my birthday," she smiled wolfishly at him making a blush spread across his face.

The image of Himiko licking her palm while projector lights in the movie theatre played in the background came to his mind making the blush worse.

"Oooh~ were you thinking of something naughty Izu," she teased him.

"O-Oh hey look there are the U.A. school gates," Izuku stuttered pointing," g-gotta go!"

Himiko's hand shot out gripping Izuku's," um, I wanna kiss before you go," she asked surprisingly bashful.

"I-I-I mean r-right here? N-Now?" There weren't a lot of people walking by, but there were certainly a few students entering the school grounds eyeing the pair curiously.

Her small cute nod made his heart jump," y-yeah if it's not too much trouble."

Izuku's very nature was at war with his desires, on one hand, he wanted to kiss his girlfriend now that she was acting this cutely, but on the other hand, there was an embarrassing number of people giving them odd looks.

"O-O-Okay i-if you r-really w-w-want me t-to," he stuttered worse than he had in a long time.

Standing stiff as a board and feeling very self-conscious, Izuku leaned into the girl not quite able to bridge the gap between them.

Himiko seemed to have lost her patience because her own shaky hands held the side of his face, and she met his lips with tender trepidation.

The ridged and stiff way their lips pressed together slowly dissipated as the familiar taste of one another made them relax. They slowly deepened the kiss, Himiko wrapping her arms around him in a gentle hug. The cool moist air of April dampened their clothes.

Izuku was the first to pull away, blush forgotten and a smile on his face," I'll see you after school?"

"Y-Yeah," after a second of fidgeting, her nervous look shifted to the ground," I love you."

Her soft whisper made him blush," I love you too."

Her goofy grin as she twirled back the way they had come made a smile come to Izuku's face. She seemed to be humming to herself as she skipped her way to the apartment.

'At least she's having fun,' Izuku laughed to himself.

"Damn some guys have all the luck," said a passing boy as he made his way into the school.

Izuku's mortified blush crept up his neck,' I think I should just hurry and make my way to 1-A.'

Himiko skipped down the street happily humming to herself, her fingers brushing lightly over her lips.

"Kiss, kiss~ I got a kiss, from Izu~," she sang making her way down the hill U.A. was situated atop.

The morning air was very refreshing and helped keep her awake, she hadn't said anything to Izu, but she hadn't been to sleep since the previous night.

It had been extremely hard to find another place to sleep since that murderous girls house. It had been the perfect place to stay at the time, she had been able to satiate her need for blood, and give herself a place to stay.

But now she didn't need a blood supply since she had her Izu.

The place to stay was a much more difficult situation to remedy, she couldn't just assault a person and live in their house. Not if they were an innocent person anyway, Izu definitely wouldn't approve of that.

She had thought about asking Ms. Midoriya if she could stay with them, but she knew too many questions would be raised and she refused to be taken back to her family. They didn't deserve to see her after they had rejected her when Izu hadn't.

'I refuse to be someone I'm not,' Homiko thought quickly reaching the middle streets of Musutafu. Ever since All Might had started showing up in the city criminals had been more and more cautious about committing crimes.

"Hey bitch, get out of my way!" Yelled a loud voice from behind her, running footsteps growing closer.

Or maybe they weren't as smart as she thought. Goosebumps raised along her arms and legs, fine hairs standing on end. She knew this feeling meant someone was about to attack her.

So crouching low and then springing into a backflip, Himiko caught sight of the man looking dumbstruck at her sudden movement. His neck craned to try and follow her arc, but his neck could only move so far.

Himiko landed behind the man slamming her small foot into the backs of his knees. As the man fell she withdrew her knife and held it to his throat.

"Better not move or I'll cut ya," Himiko giggled still happy about her exchange with Izu from earlier, but now she was a bit pissed about the rude bastard interrupting her.

"What the fuck?" The man was confused about what had happened, but it wasn't exactly hard for him to grasp with a knife at his throat.

Now that she caught a good look at the guy she could see he had dusty whitish hair, a cheap-looking purple suit, and a pair of sunglasses.

"H-Hey, you're a villain right," asked the man very nervously showing he had a missing front tooth," I'm a broker, and I'm being chased by some clients I kinda pissed off. So would ya mind letting me go?"

She thought about that for a moment. Sure she knew information brokers in the black market were fairly rare, at least the good ones were. She'd had to deal with a few when she had run from home and been assaulting various criminals of different severity. Heck, even a few were proper villains.

"W-Wait, that creepy grin, and blonde hair. You're the crazy bitch that was attacking other crooks in Yokohama. If ya let me go I got a few small-time guys you can have information on in exchange."

Himiko looked at him for a moment,' well my tracking hasn't turned up any new people in the city, and hopefully, these guys will either have places I can take to stay or a good amount of money to steal.'

"Fine," Himiko sighed letting the man go and quickly concealing her knife. She pulled a ragged piece of paper out of her pocket and wrote her info down, handing it to the man," give me the info on my cell, and then forget you saw me or I'll hunt you down. After all, a good information broker shouldn't sell out their clients and I don't trust you after giving a few up to me."

The man rubbed at his neck his nervous smile wavering," o-of course, I'll send you the info. Thanks, kid!"

As the man ran off Himiko continued her walk to Izu's apartment very excited to see Eri again. A few seconds after the broker had run away a pair of heroes in their costumes passed her looking for him.

"If you're looking for that shady guy in the purple suit he ran that way," Himiko smiled pointing in the opposite direction he'd run.

"Thank you!" The pair yelled running in the direction she'd given.

'No use letting the guy go if he just gets caught before sending me the info. I guess even heroes use black market brokers though,' Her happy skipping and humming started up again. Looks like her problem was solving itself.

The tall door looming over him made Izuku feel very self-conscious. He knew he was short compared to most kids his age, but was he going to have someone as huge as this door in his class?

Izuku shook his head and smacked his cheeks,' I can do this!'

Sliding the door open more confidently than he felt Izuku looked inside. At the last second, he hoped neither Kacchan nor that boy with glasses for the exam was in the same class as him,"n-nice to meet y-you all! I'm-"

"Take your feet off that desk at once, that is the property of the most prestigious hero school in all of Japan," yelled a very loud voice, cutting off Izuku's rush of courage.

"Huh? What the hell for? Get outta my face before I kill your ass four-eyes!"

That familiar yelling voice made Izuku flinch,' They're both here, ' Izuku silently and internally sobbed to himself.

"K-Kill me," the boy with a stern face and glasses gasped in shock at Kacchan's violence," are you sure you're in the right place? A-Anyway I'm sure we just got off on the wrong foot, I'm Tenya Iida another first year and I just graduated from Somei Private Academy."

"Somei!? You a stuck-up rich kid!? I should blow you to bits!" Kacchan yelled clearly not wanting to make any friends anytime soon.

The boy, Iida, was taken aback by Izuku's old bully," you're awful, do you really want to become a hero?!"

As Izuku watched the exchange it seemed the boy had caught sight of Izuku along with Kacchan.

"Ah, hello I am Tenya Iida, I'm from Somei!"

The boy quickly made his way over to Izuku in just two large steps," I-I heard, i-it's n-nice to meet you, I'm I-Izuku Midoriya."

"Midoriya… you… you perceived the true nature of that practical exam," Iida paused an admiring glint in his eye," while I could not! I misjudged you at the time, but I can clearly see because of your insight you were the better candidate."

'I didn't perceive anything, my dumb body just moved on its own like it always does!'

"Hey! That curly green hair! You're that plain-looking boy from the exam," Izuku jumped slightly at the bubbly voice behind him shouting in excitement.

Izuku had to suppress the urge to wrap his arms around his face at the girls proximity as she continued talking excitedly," but that makes sense Present Mic said you'd made it in! I mean how couldn't you? That kick you gave that huge robot was awesome!"

Katsuki Bakugou stared in hatred at Deku. The nerd had managed to pass the entrance exam somehow and made a complete fucking mockery of his achievement. He could remember their teacher's words from that day, and the fucking nerve Deku had.

" It's so wonderful that two of our students made it into U.A.! Especially you Midoriya! That's a miracle we never expected!"

Deku's stupid fucking shaking in front of the teacher as he spoke made Katsuki grind his teeth in rage. Once the pair had left the teacher's office and made their way outside the school, Katsuki grabbed Deku by his arm and shoved him into a corner on the side of the school.

"What kind of dirty fucking trick did you use, you quirkless bitch! Huh," Katsuki raged gripping Dekus school uniform in an angry fist," I was supposed to be the first, and only student from this shit school to get into U.A. and you fucking ruined that! I thought I told you to get lost and kill yourself Deku!"

The unsurprising shaking coming from Deku hadn't been odd, but what had pissed Katsuki off was the look the little asshole sent him. Through watery eyes and shaking limbs, the little twerp had a glare so intense it almost made Katsuki let go. Almost.

"S-Some people… told me that I could be a-a hero! And because of them I'll become a hero no matter what! So you can shove it!" The boy yelled making Katsuki freeze in utter astonishment.

'What the fuck?' Katsuki asked himself seeing the nerd gripping his arm that held his uniform very tightly.

Then the fucking nerd had run off, obviously scared of what Katsuki would do after his uncharacteristic outburst.

Now, here the little shit was, strutting around U.A. like it was the most obvious fucking thing in the world. It pissed Katsuki off.

Izuku was still being bombarded by the friendly brunette, her excited hand movements never stopping.

"I think we've got our entrance ceremony and guidance sessions today, yea? I wonder what our teacher will be like, I'm kinda nervous!"

A gruff voice came from behind the girl making her and Izuku jump," if you're here to socialize then you can just get out."

As Izuku looked down he saw a very scruffy face peeking out from behind a yellow sleeping bag, a juice pouch coming into view and then being drained in an instant.

"This is the hero course, it took you all eight seconds to quiet down. Even a second in a hero's day can mean the difference between life and death. This is the kind of path that isn't for the weak-hearted, so if you can't handle it leave now."

A pause fell over the room, no one seemed to be moving to leave, but a few people did look nervous.

"With that said I'm your homeroom teacher Shouta Aizawa, now everyone put your gym clothes on and follow me.

Izuku looked down at the school's gym uniform, it was a lot more unique that his middle school gym uniform. A stylized U and A were on top of one another and the trim of the blue uniform was white and red.

"We're going to be doing a quirk assessment test," Mr. Aizawa said as the students of class 1-A stood on the open U.A. grounds.

"Quirk test," the girl who'd been talking to Izuku asked confused," I thought we had the entrance ceremony and counseling today?"

"That's all a waste of time, U.A. is known for its freestyle educational approach and that applies to us teachers as well. Softball throwing, the standing long jump, the 50-meter dash, endurance running, grip strength, side-to-side stepping, upper body training, and seated toe touching. You did all of these exercises in middle school, yes? These are standard non-quirk testing exercises, Japan is a country that still employs the policy of not allowing the use of quirks outside of hero work."

Mr. Aizawa bent down scooping up a softball and tossing it to Kacchan," Bakugou what was your record for the softball throw?"

"About sixty-seven meters."

"I want you to throw that ball as hard as you can with your quirk, and don't hold anything back," Mr. Aizawa said stepping away to allow Kacchan to approach the pitch.

Izuku could see an evil grin cross the boy's face as he wound up, readying a throw.

"DIE!!!" Kacchan yelled creating a massive *boom* as the poor softball was propelled several meters away.

'Die? ' Izuku thought sweating at Kacchan's choice of words.

Mr. Aizawa looked down at the calculating device in his hands and showed everyone the result.

"705.2 meters," asked a spiky red-haired boy in astonishment," that's insane!"

"So we get to use our quirks all we want," asked a pink-haired and skinned girl," this looks so fun!"

Mr. Aizawa seemed to not like what the girl had to say," fun? You think this is gonna all be a walk in the park, don't you? Listen at U.A. we train you to use your quirks to the best of your ability, both strengthening and refining them. Over the next three years, we'll be putting you through hell to push you to your limits, so if you think this is fun I guess I'm not being hard enough on you. How about this, whoever is bottom of the scoreboard at the end of the day is removed from the hero course for good."

"What!"

"You can't do that!"

"We just got here!"

A chorus of objections and cries of outrage met Mr. Aizawa's deceleration but everyone quickly quieted when he spoke," if you don't like it so much one of you volunteer to drop out so the person who would be on the chopping block can stay."

A long silence fell over the students making the man smirk.

"That's what I thought now stop complaining and start working your butts off. Show me you've got what it takes to make it in my class! That's what our school motto means, after all, go beyond, plus ultra!"

'I guess things are picking up now,' Izuku thought nervously gripping his shaking hands,' can I use One for All like I did before when I was protecting Himiko and Eri?'

Izuku clenched his muscles, trying to summon the feeling All Might's quirk conjured in his head. The power came to him slowly, but in jackhammering waves that made his bones and muscles vibrate painfully.

'D-Dial it back, or I'm gonna tear myself apart like All Might said! Egg in a microwave, egg in a microwave,' he thought frantically imagining he was turning the intensity of the cooking down so he didn't explode.

The familiar hum of One for All made him smile, it felt like All Might was with him any time he activated the quirk. What he hadn't noticed when first using the ability was the arcing strands of static coming from his body in green crackles.

"Whoa, looks like someone's fired up," said the red-haired boy with sharp teeth.

Mr. Aizawa was looking at Izuku with a piercing stare that made him deactivate One for All," s-sorry sir."

Their teacher shook his head turning and walking past the softball throw," we'll be doing the 50-meters first so line up by your student numbers and you'll be going with the person whose number is directly below yours."

The first pair to run was Iida and a girl who seemed to have a mutation-type quirk.

'Maybe a frog type,' Izuku thought watching them.

"And… start!"

Only a handful of seconds passed as Izuku watched the pair burst from the starting line, and in the blink of an eye, Iida passed with the girl a few seconds behind.

"3.04 seconds!"

"5.58 seconds!"

"Whoa that was fast," Izuku smiled, his eyes sparkling," I wish I had my notebook on me!"

Next up was a boy with a tail and the girl who had been talking with Izuku, she seemed to be tapping parts of her body.

'Activating her quirk maybe? '

The boy finished first just a bit faster than the girl.

"7.05 seconds!"

"7.15 seconds!"

"Well at least it was better than middle school," the girl smiled to herself.

Then it was an odd blond-haired boy with some sort of belt around his waist, and the pink-skinned girl. Now that Izuku could see her closer he could see her eyes were a familiar shade of yellow like Himiko's, but surrounding the pupil was a black sclera that made them pop in a different way to Himiko's.

"If we're allowed to use our quirks then allow me to apologize in advance mademoiselle because you stand no chance against my flashy quirk!"

The girl seemed to be very annoyed at him as she removed her shoes and sat them to the side," whatever, dude."

" Ready? Start! "

The girl dashed forward first, and then her strides became more of a skating motion as her feet seemed to be secreting a viscous liquid. Just as Izuku thought she would win for sure the blond boy shot past her a beam shooting out of the belt he wore.

Yet again Izuku had assumed the winner of the raise wrongly when the boy's laser petered out and he fell to the ground unceremoniously. The girl passed him before he could regain his lead.

"5.24 seconds!"

"5.51 seconds!"

"Next, seventeen and eighteen! Get over here," Mr. Aizawa yelled getting Izuku's attention.

"Ah, yes sir," Izuku yelled very nervously.

Kacchan got ready beside Izuku positioning his arms in a very weird way, Izuku readied himself too, allowing One for All to fill his body and strengthen his legs.

'I can do this, thanks to Himiko's training, I'm way more aware of my body and how to use it effectively. That villain attacking us was bad, but it gave me a great insight into how to use One for All!'

"Ready? Start!"

Both Izuku and Kacchan shot forward, Izuku slamming onto his face after tripping, and Kacchan barely able to keep himself from having the same reaction.

"What the fuck," Kacchan yelled looking at his hands," why isn't my quirk working?"

"Ow," Izuku winced rubbing at his bruised knees.

Mr. Aizawa's surly voice caught their attention," I canceled your quirk, Midoriya. Sorry, Bakugou I guess you were too close to him while I was and you got caught up in it."

" Huh? What the fuck?"

"W-Wait you canceled our quirks? Y-You're Eraserhead, the erasure hero!"

"So you know who I am, whuppty doo. I saw you during that practical exam, that quirk of yours is too impractical. What good are you gonna do if you shatter your legs in the first test? If your go-to strategy every time you get a little cornered is to shatter your limbs, then you'd be a liability on any team you ended up on. So you should quit."

Izuku looked down at his hands, scraping his nails through the dust on the ground," m-my power isn't as wild as it was back then! I c-can control it now!"

Mr. Aizawa looked at Izuku very doubtfully," you expect me to believe that in just under a month you managed to get that impractical power to a usable standard? I highly doubt that, either way, I gave you back your quirk. Get this over with, either use your quirk and succeed or break your body and fail, it's up to you."

As Izuku and Kacchan readied themselves again, he could see Kacchan grinning at him out of the corner of his eye.

Izuku's mouth thinned into a determined line, One for All crackling around him again.

"Ready? Start!"

Izuku shot forward even as a cloud of smoke obscured his vision. Kacchan had both launched himself and blinded Izuku.

'That's not gonna stop me,' Izuku thought sprinting all the harder, hearing Kacchan's explosions right beside him.

"What the fuck!" Kacchan yelled noticing he hadn't completely overtaken Izuku

"Aaaah!" Izuku yelled pushing his legs to go faster.

"4.13 meters!"

Izuku doubled over his eyes closed and his hands over his knees. For a second he just waited to hear the other score that he'd gotten. He hadn't heard the first result to long ago so his time must have been right behind Kacchan's.

But then a long silence met his panting and he looked up," w-what happened?"

Mr. Aizawa looked at him astonished and grinning very widely," you tied with Bakugou! I guess you weren't lying kid!"

Izuku's wide happy smile was almost immediately whipped from his face when Kacchan's fist came dangerously close to his head.

"I'm gonna kill you, Deku!"

Thankfully the bandage-like scarf around Mr. Aizawa's neck had encircled the angry boy.

"The fuck is this? Why the hell is your scarf so strong?"

"Because this is a capture weapon made of carbon fiber and high tensile steel," you better stand down Bakugou, I won't tolerate any fighting in my class! Now get back with the others and prepare for the other events."

"Tch," Kacchan clicked his tongue at Izuku clearly wanting to beat him up, but for once a teacher wasn't willing to turn a blind eye.

The next few tests whittled away at Izuku's stamina, keeping One for All running through his body continually made him very sore. It was like cleaning the beach for the first time all over again.

The standing long jump and the grip test had been some of his better scores due to the strength in his arms and legs, but it didn't hall him very much in the toe touch and it just barely helped with the side jumps. He'd nearly fallen over during the side-to-side jumps when he went too fast.

The softball throw was last and then Izuku would know if he was going home or not. After all, he hadn't scored horribly on most of the tests but he didn't have a score so impressive as the girl called Ururaka had gotten with her softball throw.

'Infinity? Seriously I'm following that? Life is so unfair.'

Izuku sighed stepping up to the pitch, catching the softball Mr. Aizawa threw him.

Izuku shifted his weight around trying to find the proper throwing stance he'd learned in middle school. He mimed a few test throws making sure his shoulders were loose.

'Alright, just one more time.'

Izuku summoned One for All to fill his body spreading evenly at the wattage he knew he could handle, but the constant usage of the quirk made him very tired and sore all over. So as he stepped forward swinging his arm around and twisting his torso, he could feel his arm scream in agony when the ball was nearly released.

A jolt of agony went up his arm and down his spine making him panic and send a bit to much force into the throw. A soft tearing noise met his ears as the ball shot down the field in a slightly upward arc that gave more distance with his style of throwing.

"700-meters!"

"Whoa, that was cool!"

"Yeah, he almost threw it as far as Bakugou!"

"Midoriya, did you break your arm," Mr. Aizawa asked having heard the sound Izuku's arm had made.

Looking down at it he didn't see the telltale limp mangled form his legs had become, but his muscle was shredded around his bicep and shoulder. The bones were intact but he bet they'd come close to snapping too.

"N-No sir," Izuku winced showing his arm to the teacher," I think I tore a muscle though."

"All right, if you can, stick around while I show all of your rankings and see who's going home," Mr. Aizawa said a smile that was a bit too wide on his face for what he'd just said.

1st. Momo Yaoyorozu

2nd. Shoto Todoroki

3rd. Katsuki Bakugou

4th. Izuku Midoriya

5th. Tenya Iida

6th. Fumikage Tokoyami

7th. Mezo Shouji

8th. Mashirao Ojiro

9th. Eijiro Kirishima

10th. Mina Ashido

11th. Ochako Uraraka

12th. Koji Koda

13th. Rikido Sato

14th. Tsuyu Asui

15th. Yuga Aoyama

16th. Hanta Sero

17th. Denji Kaminari

18th. Kyoka Jiro

19th. Toru Hagakure

20th. Minoru Mineta

Izuku was extremely surprised to find he was right below Kacchan, he was sure he was going to be near the bottom of the barrel. Whoever Mineta was, was in a very bad spot at the moment.

"There you have it, Mineta get out. I've noticed you haven't put any training in your body despite your stature. Any hero would try to give themselves every advantage possible, but you didn't even bother with the bare minimum of strength training at all. And Midoriya!"

"Y-Yes, sir?"

"If you hadn't gotten that power working I have no doubt you'd be at the bottom of the list, and the only reason for that would've been the utter impracticality of the quirk compared to Mineta's. However you were able to consistently use your quirk in almost every test, I took off a few points for the side jumps and the softball throw. But the throw should be obvious why you lost points, if you'd known your limits and told me you would've scored the same as Bakugou and placed 3rd with him."

"T-Thank you, sir, I'll remember my limitations from now on," Izuku yelled very happy he wouldn't be kicked out, but also feeling a little bad for Mineta. That was until he tried to, in his words, "cop a feel" on Yaoyorozu-San making him very glad the pervert was gone.

"Now everyone back to the locker rooms to change into your school clothes," Mr. Aizawa said until he saw Izuku trying to make his way with everyone else," except you Midoriya take this note and get fixed up by the old lady."

"Oh, okay thank you, sir."

The school day had been extremely tiring especially after Recovery Girl had healed him with her quirk. He shuddered at the news if she used her quirk on him when he was too hurt or tired he'd just drop dead.

Thankfully all of their classes had been ways for them all to introduce themselves and get the syllabus for each class so they could memorize the curriculum.

"Hello Midoriya," said a friendly voice coming up on his right side," I hope your arm is better."

"Oh, hey Iida! Yeah, Recovery Girl fixed it good as new, I've just gotta take it easy with my quirk for the rest of the day."

"Well that's good news I'm glad you'll make a full recover," he said chopping his hand in the air very stiffly.

"Hey guys," Said an enthusiastic girl's voice to Izuku's left startling him," oh I'm so sorry. I'd didn't mean to scare you!"

"Hey you're the infinity girl," Iida remarked very rudely.

"Hey that's a little embarrassing, my name's Ochako Uraraka so call me that! And you two are… Tenya Iida and Deku Midoriya right?"

"W-What? T-That's not my name!" Izuku shouted hoping the awful name hadn't caught on.

"Oh, but that's what Bakugou yelled at you earlier right?"

"H-He calls me that as an insult, it's because the last kanji of my name can be read as useless."

"That is horrible! How could a boy like that make it into the hero course of U.A.," Iida asked very outraged.

"Because he's so amazing, I hate to admit it but Kacchan's quirk is really amazing, and he has great control over it. He might not look like it, but he's really smart too and he's always been physically fit."

"You kinda sound like you idolize the guy," Uraraka said very confusedly.

Izuku had to beat himself up, he'd grown accustomed to analyzing quirks and their users and just stating the facts about them. Even if he didn't particularly like the person, he would always give their abilities a fair assessment.

"It's not that, I've just known him most of my life. We used to be friends when we were kids but when I was younger I thought I was quirkless and he got really bad when he learned that. If I'm being honest I hate Kacchan, like a lot."

Izuku remembered Kacchan telling him to kill himself the day he had tried, the thought made him clench his fist angrily.

"Well I like Deku, it sounds kinda similar to Dekiru, it means you're able to do anything!"

Izuku smiled at the girl but shook his head a sharp gaze in his eyes," I appreciate it Uraraka-san, but I'd really rather not hear that name from anyone's mouth if I can help it. Kacchan isn't going to stop anytime though, but I hate his guts already."

"Hmm, I'm wondering Midoriya. If you dislike him so much why do you call him such an endearing nickname?

"Cause I know it pisses him off," Izuku grinned at the two.

The uncharacteristic way Izuku answered seemed to make the other two students crack up into loud laughter.

"W-What? What did I say," Izuku asked confused.

"I-It's just y-you said that w-with the smuggest s-smile," Uraraka laughed clutching her stomach.

"I-It was quite humorous," Iida laughed very robotically making Izuku and Uraraka break out into even more laughter.

"A-Alright guys, I-I'm headed this way," Uraraka wheezed heading toward the train station.

"Yes, I'll be off as well," Iida nodded heading down a side road.

"See you guys tomorrow," Izuku waved to them both.

'I wonder what we're gonna have for dinner tonight,' Izuku thought approaching his apartment building, a smile on his face,' I did good in the quirk assessment test! I'm gonna tell Himiko, maybe she'll even give me a kiss in return. Oh, who am I kidding she'd kiss me anyway.'

"Mom! Himiko! Eri! I'm ho-" a hard double tackle nearly sent Izuku down to the ground. Two pairs of arms grabbed him around the waist and legs, dragging him down.

"Izu," yelled a pair of voices making him wince at the volume.

"Why can't you two just greet me normally like mom," Izuku scalded picking Eri up with one arm and hugging Himiko with the other. As they hugged Eri joined in being squished between the two teens.

"That's no fun Izu," Himiko whined grinning at him," I love seeing your flustered face when I hug you!"

"D-Don't you think I'll just get used to it eventually?"

"Funny thing, I've been doing it for a few months now and you're still not used to it," she teased poking his burning face.

"Stop teasing Izu, momma!" Himiko yelled hugging Izuku's red face.

"M-Momma? Why are you calling Himiko that?"

"Cause momma said to call her momma," she giggled looking at Izuku as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

Izuku shot Himiko a very piercing stare that made the girl squirm," whaaat!? I only want you to call me Himi-chan and besides Eri is our baby, so if anything she should call you papa. Not Izu."

If his face hadn't been red before it was practically a fire hydrant now, and Eri's nod and next words made his brain almost shut down," yeah! If momma is momma, then Izu is papa!"

Izuku sank to the ground setting Eri on her feet. He curled up, his head between his knees, and he let out a very embarrassing squeak. He could swear steam was pluming up from him.

"Huh? Momma what's wrong with Papa," Eri asked very innocently.

"Aaaaaaaah," Izuku's mortified shout at her words was very funny to Himiko, but she figured she could give him a break.

"It's nothing Eri let's get Izu up and get him some food," Himiko came over to Izuku, her bare feet whispering along the ground," your mom made katsudon. I know it's your favorite!~"

Izuku nodded after a little while, allowing Himiko to pull him up to his feet and make their way with Eri to the dinner table.

"Oh! Hi papa! Did you have a good day at school," Izuku's mom greeted as she caught sight of him with Himiko and Eri.

"Not you too," Izuku whined sinking into a chair at the table, Eri looked up at him and did the universal sign for wanting to be picked up. So he obliged the girl and placed her on his lap, running his fingers through her hair.

"How am I not supposed to make comments when you do things like that," she shot back platting a few servings of the food for everyone.

"If you don't wanna be a papa stop acting like one," Himiko shot at him as she sat in the seat to his left, allowing her to pat Eri's head while they waited.

"All jokes aside how was your first-day sweetie," his mom asked bringing over a plate for Eri and Himiko first and then hers and Izuku's.

"It wasn't too bad, we did a quirk assessment test and I placed fourth right below Kacchan!"

"Ugh, why'd you have to get lower than that jerk? And why do you still call him that," Himiko asked annoyed on Izuku's behalf.

"Mr. Aizawa said I only didn't tie with him because I tore my arm muscles during the softball throw," Izuku absently said cutting Eri's pork cutlet for her," and I call him that cause I know it pisses him off a lot."

"You tore your arm muscles," Himiko yelled very worriedly, but it was a bit colored by the blush on her cheeks. No doubt she was thinking about how he had looked when injured. Himiko didn't exactly want him to get hurt because it worried her greatly, but her quirk made her have a preference for wounds so she could access the blood.

She scooted closer to Izuku examining both of his arms before frowning," neither of your arms looks bad?"

"Oh, Recovery Girl patched me up in the nurse's office. So I'm fine," Izuku smiled finished cutting Eri's pork, and let her dig in.

"Recovery Girl, huh," a mischievous grin spread across her face," did it excite you getting personal care from a hot nurse hero?

Izuku shuddered, looking at Himiko very seriously," Recovery Girl is like seventy years old, I'm good."

"Hahaha," Himiko laughed at the ridiculous face Izuku was making," w-well don't worry papa I've got a spare nurse outfit laying around somewhere we can use."

"H-Himiko! Not in front of mom and Eri!"

"So that means not in front of us is fine," his mom asked raising an eyebrow.

Izuku just blushed, turning to eat his own food before it got cold.

'Things are so much more lively with Himiko and Eri around,' Izuku smiled remembering the quiet and depressing days from middle school that hadn't been so long ago.

Himiko's warm fingers held his as she grinned at him. He smiled back squeezing her fingers.
