Sasuke Unohana was smarter than this, or at least he thought he was. The quirkless teen knew good and well that he shouldn't be doing this. But even so, he somehow allowed his lesser instincts to get the better of him. Okay, that was a lie. A lie that he kept telling himself to avoid admitting the fact that he actually did want this.

'God, I can't believe we actually did that!' The boy thought as he turned his head, his eyes taking in the sleeping form of Nanao Tokage. The elder Tokage sibling's naked body clung to his as the green-haired woman lightly snored against his chest.

There were so many things wrong with what happened. But at the same time, it felt so right in the moment.

'I have to make sure that no one finds out about this.' The boy silently groaned as he tried his best to fight off an oncoming headache.

Technically speaking, what the two of them just did was extremely illegal. So much so that Nanao could quite literally end up in jail if the wrong person were to learn about it. Of course, Unohana was no stranger to doing illegal things, not by a long shot. After all, the boy did sell explosives to terrorists for a living. But, this just felt way worse for some reason, mainly because he didn't want anything bad to happen to the woman. Especially not because of him and his horrible decision-making skills.

Unohana had long since realized that he was becoming way too attached to the woman currently resting at his side. But no matter what he did, he couldn't stop himself from letting their relationship progress further and further. Far enough to the point that the two of them ended up having drunk sex in her apartment.

Oh yeah, Unohana could also add giving alcohol to a minor to the list of bad decisions that were made tonight.

The most annoying part about all of this was just how cliche it was. The first woman who ever showed Unohana any kind of romantic interest was also the one he decided to give his virginity to. If the boy wasn't so conflicted about his own emotions right now he might have actually had the nerve to laugh about it. Maybe….

The quirkless teen then turned his head to gaze upon the woman's sleeping form once again. Taking some time to admire how cute her face looked when she was like this. Yes, even with the slight bit of drool coming out of her mouth.

'Oh fuck, I really do like her, don't I?'

Unohana's brain and emotions were all over the place right now. A part of him truly was happy with how the night turned out. Hell, happy might not even be a good enough word to describe it. However, another part of him was also ashamed of what happened. Despite her impish personality and playful demeanor, Nanao was a good woman. The kind of woman that was way too good for someone like him. She had a bright future ahead of her, one that didn't need to involve getting wrapped up in all of the nonsense that he was currently a part of. And the last thing he wanted was for the woman to get hurt because of his actions.

The quirkless teen already felt bad enough that Midoriya almost got killed by those clowns in Derelicta. The fact that his only real friend in god knows how long came close to dying by way of his own creations was certainly not lost on the boy. And the idea that the same could potentially happen to the woman he was currently crushing on made Unohana's stomach churn.

Unohana then threw his head back against his pillow but made sure to do so softly enough to avoid waking up Nanao.

What was even the point in thinking about any of this? In all honesty, he doubted that Nanao actually liked him in the same way that he liked her. For her, he was probably just a fling that she could use to get her rocks off whenever she needed him to. If Unohana was being realistic, at best the two of them would just be friends with benefits and nothing more. That outcome would certainly make the most sense to him. After all, what woman would seriously date a quirkless guy? He was quite literally at the bottom of modern society, getting with someone like him was basically social suicide.

The scars on Unohana's wrists began to itch. Such a thing only ever happened when the boy began to feel incredibly stressed, and right now his current line of thinking was going to end up with him doing something he hadn't done in a long time.

The boy then decided to simply shut his brain off and try to go back to sleep. There was no point in thinking about any of this now. The only two things that he should be focusing his mind on right now were finishing his classes and getting some more of those anti-quirk bullets. Anything aside from that was a distraction that he didn't need.

Nanao stirred briefly as the woman unconsciously pressed her body even closer to his. In response, all Unohana could do was wrap his around her shoulder and hold her close to him. The boy's heartbeat slightly elevated at the increased amount of skin-to-skin contact.

With a final sigh, Unohana relaxed his body and allowed himself to drift off into dreamland. For now, the boy was just going to enjoy the moment. He'll deal with the consequences of this later. Whatever they may happen to be.

"Man, this place is packed!" Midoriya looked around with wide eyes.

"Seriously, there must be over four thousand people in here." Tokage replied while looking across the concert venue.

It was no surprise to either of the two teens that a superstar like Pop Step would be able to draw in a huge crowd, but they certainly weren't expecting something like this. The arena was quite literally packed from wall to wall. As far as they could see, every seat and row was occupied with a body. Even the large sections of space near the stage were overflowing with people.

"I don't even think we can get to our seats."

"Well, I guess it's a good thing that Aunt Nemuri got us these backstage passes." Tokage said as she pulled their golden VIP badges out of her purse. "You wanna see if we can get over there now?"

"Sure." Midoriya nodded in agreement.

-(o)-

It didn't take long for the young couple to find their place in the VIP area behind the stage. After slipping past a crowd of teens around their age and locating one of the event staff, Midoriya and Tokage were swiftly escorted over to an opening near the DJ booth. From what Tokage could tell, they were out of sight from everyone else, but they had an unobstructed view of the entire stage.

'Damn, I could get used to something like this.' The 'lizard tail splitter' user let out a low whistle. Naturally, this wasn't Tokage's first time receiving celebrity-esque treatment thanks to her association with the "R-Rated" heroine. However, an experience like this was new for her, and she was definitely going to enjoy every moment of it.

"Hey! You two are Midoriya and Tokage, right?" A female voice suddenly asked the couple.

The two teens turned around to see a woman with long, puffy pink hair and a bedazzled black eyepatch covering her left eye. It didn't take a genius to figure out that this woman was the star of tonight's show. And the fact that she was talking to them directly was not lost on either of the greenettes.

"Oh my god! It's really you!" Toakge practically beamed with excitement. This was her first time ever seeing the woman in person.

"Thank you for letting us see your show tonight!" Midoriya gave the woman a bow.

"Don't sweat it, I'm just glad that Nemuri-chan actually put those tickets I gave her to good use. I always send her some whenever I'm in Tokyo, but she rarely gets a chance to make it to one of my shows on account of her job and all that." Pop Step waved off. "Anyways, I just wanted to say hello to you guys before I got on stage. I was expecting you in the VIP area earlier but it looks like you came in through the front with everyone else."

"Thank you for your concern, Pop Step-san."

"Don't worry about it." She said just before walking towards the stage. "Well, I better get going. I hope you enjoy the show! Hopefully, I'll see you guys afterward in the VIP lounge."

"Break a leg!" Tokage cheered the woman on with a thumbs up and toothy grin.

-(o)-

Within a few minutes, the show was underway. From the moment the hero-themed idol hit the stage the crowd was abuzz with cheers and screams. The energy that Pop Step commanded swept over the arena like a tidal wave and before either of them knew it, Midoriya and Tokage were dancing to the beat of every song that was played. Well, in actuality Tokage was the one doing most of the dancing. Midoriya was just casually bobbing his head to the rhythm of the music.

As the cheers and roars grew ever louder, Tokage couldn't help but get swept up in all the fun. The 'lizard tail splitter' user was pumping her fists in the air while perfectly reciting every lyric of the song that was currently playing. She may not have been much of a dancer, but the way the girl's body moved reminded Midoriya of a fast-flowing river. Slightly chaotic, but enjoyable to watch.

"Come on, freckles. It's no fun if I'm the only one embarrassing myself here!"

"I-I'm not really much of a dancer." Midoriya waved off with a slight bit of redness on his cheeks.

"Neither am I." Tokage laughed before grabbing the boy's hand and pulling him towards her.

For a brief moment, moss eyes met emerald. And before Midoriya even had the chance to stop her, Tokage had dragged the boy over to an open space behind the nearby curtain. One that was close enough to still see the entirety of the crowd, but just far enough away from the show to give the two of them a bit of privacy.

Tokage then took charge and began shifting her hips and shoulders from side to side much like she had been doing before. Except this time, she joyfully pulled her boyfriend along with every movement she made. Midoriya was understandably nervous at first, but eventually, he got with the program and loosened up.

The green-haired boy began to mimic his girlfriend's movements and let their bodies fall into sync. Both Tokage and Midoriya were sporting huge grins as the fast-paced tempo of the music, along with the base of the speakers, got their blood flowing.

When the melodic tunes of the song ended, the two of them took a moment to catch their breath. Both of them had a slight bit of redness on their cheeks despite their smiles. Who knew dancing was so exhausting?

"See, now was that so bad?" Tokage chuckled as she rested herself against the boy's chest. Using the excuse of her momentary exhaustion as the chance to seize the opportunity to get close to him. Not that she actually needed the excuse anyway.

"Not at all." Midoriya laughed back while resting his head on top of Tokage's.

"Glad to hear it! Because we have another two hours of that to look forward to!" She looked up to him with a grin.

"I guess we do." He smiled back at her.

-(o)-

[Two Hours Later]

"Ah, so that's where I recognized you from!" Kazuho Haneyama, also known as Pop Step, pointed at Midoriya with a genuine look of shock on her face. "You're the guy that was with Blizzard during that whole terrorist attack fiasco! I remember you from the Sports Festival."

"Yeah…that's me." Midoriya replied with a shaky smile. He still wasn't exactly used to the idea of him being famous on any sort of level.

After the show came to an end Pop Step invited the young couple back to the VIP lounge to talk for a bit. Despite being the only two teenagers in the room the young couple managed to get comfortable pretty quickly. Unlike what you would expect when it came to other musical acts, Pop Step made sure that the room didn't have anything that was inappropriate to have around kids. All the place really had was a cooler full of beer, but neither the woman nor her band were interested in partaking in any of it.

"Man, you guys are so young and you've already been involved in some craziness like that. That sucks."

All Tokage could do was shrug at the woman's comment. "It comes with the territory. We didn't get hurt and we managed to save a lot of lives that day. So that's all that really matters. "

"Trust me, I know. In fact…I remember seeing a picture of you carrying a bunch of people out of that tower before it went down. Nemuri-chan mentioned you a few times when we used to hang out more often. But after seeing you in action, I can see that she wasn't hyping you up for no reason."

"Oh stop it~! You're going to make me blush."

"Sure, sure…."

Suddenly, Pop Step stood up and walked over to a nearby table. The woman then spent the next couple of seconds rummaging through her bag before pulling out her cell phone. Once she had the device firmly in her hand, she then moved back over to where the two teens were. Without a word, the woman placed herself in between the two of them and held the device far in front of her, just enough to capture all three of their faces in the frame.

"Say cheese!"

Midoriya and Tokage barely managed to put a couple of smiles on their faces before Pop Step took the photo. Thankfully, the image came out pretty well. In fact, the picture came out so well that Pop Step immediately posted the photo on her Instagram page.

"My fans are going to love this! How often do you get the chance to snap a pic with two future superstars?" The pink-haired woman joked. "Now I can gloat to other people and say that I knew you before you two made it big. Oh man, my boyfriend's gonna freak out when he sees this!"

"Boyfriend?" Tokage quirked an eyebrow. This was her first time hearing about the hero-themed idol being in a relationship.

Pop Step momentarily froze after realizing her mistake. The woman then glared at the two teens. "Pretend that you didn't hear that last part. We're trying to keep it a secret since he's a big-time hero in America these days. The last thing we need right now is a bunch of vultures trying to dig into our personal lives."

"That makes sense." Midoriya nodded his head in understanding. The boy would be lying if he said that he wasn't the least bit curious as to who the woman was dating though. Pop Step obviously had connections to a ton of heroes in Japan, but hearing that the man she was with was an American hero certainly caught his attention.

'I bet a million yen she's dating The Skycrawler.' Tokage said herself. The 'lizard tail splitter' user remembered Kayama telling her how she used to hang out with both Pop Step and the man who would later become known as "The Skycrawler" back when the guy was just starting out as a hero. So if there was anyone that the idol would be dating it would more than likely be him.

After chatting for a bit longer, the young couple finally decided that it was time for them to head home. Their curfew was in about an hour and they still needed to catch the train back to U.A.. So after a few more photos and autographs, Midoriya and Tokage said their goodbyes to Pop Step before leaving the arena. The two made sure to promise the woman that they'd attend another one of her shows as soon as they got the chance. Something that they were definitely looking forward to in the future.

'Yeah, we should definitely do that again sometime.' Midoriya thought to himself with a smile on his face as he and his girlfriend walked along the busy streets of downtown Tokyo.

Although stuff like this was a bit out of his comfort zone, the 'telekinesis' user certainly enjoyed doing these kinds of things with his girlfriend. And hopefully, they'll be able to do a lot more of these activities in the future.

Hitoshi Shinsou was having one hell of a day so far, and not in a good way.

It was already bad enough that the purple-haired teen was running on roughly two hours of sleep, but the fact that he was a bit behind on his homework really wasn't doing him any favors either. On top of that, he was out of his favorite coffee. The special kind with extra caffeine that helped him stay awake throughout the school day. The boy usually leaves school on the weekends to go stock up on a fresh supply. However, since he was still doing remedial classes for the upcoming provisional license re-take exam, he hadn't had the chance to go buy some more. All that together put Shinsou in one hell of a shitty mood.

Oh yeah, there was also the fact that his douchebag of a classmate had decided to corner him in the hallway just to bother him….

"So…will you do it?" Katsukai Bakugou asked Shinsou in what could only be described as the 'explosion' quirk user's best attempt at a polite tone.

"No."

"What?! Why not?!"

"Because that's not how I operate." Shinsou replied in a steady and stoic tone of voice. In all honesty, the 'brainwashing' quirk user was shocked that his classmate would even ask him something so stupid in the first place.

Not even two minutes ago, Bakugou had approached Shinsou and asked him to use his quirk on Midoriya so that the ashe blond teen could ask the 1-B students some questions. It was a request so blatantly dubious that the purple-haired teen genuinely thought it was a joke. However, when he remembered who exactly made the request Shinsou immediately put that idea out of his mind. For the short while he had known Bakugou, Shinsou was very aware that the guy never joked…ever.

"You won't do it even if I pay you?"

"No." Shinsou shot back with no small amount of irritation in his tone. All the boy wanted to do right now was get some sleep. Not deal with whatever the hell this was supposed to be. "Sorry, but I make it a point to not use my quirk like that. People are going to get the wrong idea about me if I just start using it randomly. Plus, I have no reason to use it on the guy."

"Tch…" Bakugou clicked his teeth.

"I don't know what your issue is with Midoriya, but do me a favor and leave me out of it. I'm not dumb enough to get on the bad side of a guy who can send me into the stratosphere with a single thought."

With nothing else to say, Shinsou smoothly walked past Bakugou towards his room, leaving the 'explosion' quirk user alone in the hallway.

To say that Katsuki Bakugou was pissed off would be the understatement of the year.

The boy was certain that he could use sleepy-eye's quirk to finally get the answers that he wanted. But the fact that the purple-haired extra wasn't willing to do as he said irked his nerves to no end. Bakugou had half a mind to simply threaten his loser classmate into doing what he wanted, but something like that would surely backfire on him. Hell, he was already taking a major risk by asking him to use his quirk on that evil bastard Deku in the first place.

'Why the fuck is this happening? Why can't shit just go the way that it's supposed to?! It's not supposed to be like this!'

When the ashe blonde teen originally came to U.A., he expected to quickly establish himself as the top dog among his peers and show everyone that he was indeed the one destined to become the new number one hero. The person that was going to succeed All Might and become the new face of Japan. However, things had not gone as planned….

Ever since his first day at this school, Bakugou slowly realized that things weren't going to be like how they were back at Aldera. There were other students just as powerful as he was. On top of that, none of his classmates were as receptive to his attitude as the last batch were. And worst of all, none of them gave him the respect that he deserved.

Things started out okay, people knew not to needlessly approach him unless they wanted to feel his wrath. And his homeroom teacher, Aizawa, seemed to care more about his shitty sleep schedule than he did his actual students. Which meant that Bakugou practically had free reign to do as he pleased. But things started going downhill immediately after the Sports Festival.

After his humiliating defeat at the hands of that villainous bastard, Deku, the way that he was viewed by his classmates seemed to change. Before, the extras avoided him because they feared him and knew that they could never hold a candle to his greatness. But now, they seemed to stay away from him because they couldn't be bothered to deal with him. Bakugou wasn't an idiot, he was well aware of what his classmates were saying behind his back. Things like how was an "asshole" or how he seemed to "have a few screws loose". The kind of things that no one should be brave enough to say about him.

At first, he didn't pay them any mind. If the losers didn't want to worship the ground he walked on then that was fine. It wasn't like any of them were a threat to him anyway. In his eyes, the only person in his class worth his attention was Todoroki. The son of the now number-one hero who couldn't be bothered to express more than two emotions in a single day. Aside from him, none of their opinions were worth the energy.

Or at least, that's what he thought.

From there, he grew more and more distant from those around him. No longer did he have the undivided attention of everyone anytime he spoke. Now, his classmates practically ignored him unless it was necessary. And as much as he hated to admit it, the lack of attention triggered a feeling of anger in his chest that he didn't even know he had. Even that round-faced girl, whatever her name was, told him to shut up one day in class when they were paired together during training. Like he was just some nuisance that she didn't want to be bothered with.

Then came the incident at the summer training camp. The one where he let his guard down and got kidnapped by those annoying villains. The same one that had his face plastered all over the country. Showing the world that he was some weakling that couldn't even take care of himself. The very same incident where that bastard, Deku, showed his true colors.

'This is all Deku's fault! Everything started going downhill for me because of him!'

For the life of him, Katsuki Bakugou just couldn't figure out why that loser was getting such preferential treatment. He was a villain for fuck sake! And not even a good one!

It was only a matter of time before the green-haired menace did something else that would put everyone in danger. And Bakugou needed to do something before that happened. His plan to get the loser to admit to his evil deeds via his classmate's quirk wasn't going to work, so a new approach was going to be needed. Something that would finally expose Deku for what he truly was. Something that Bakugou could do himself without having to rely on anyone else.

Suddenly, a lightbulb went off over the boy's head. An idea was rapidly taking shape and with each passing second the details became more clear in the 'explosion' quirk user's mind.

'I bet that I can use that girlfriend of his.' The boy thought as a manic grin grew on his face. 'Or maybe even that pale bitch he's always hanging out with. Either one will do, so it doesn't really matter.'

With his mind now made up, Bakugou quickly retreated into his room to begin working out the steps of his latest plan to expose the villain for what he truly was. If everything goes according to plan, Katsuki Bakugou will have everything that he needs to finally bring Deku down once and for all. And when he does, everyone will finally acknowledge him as the top dog.

The hero who brought down the traitor lurking inside U.A.'s walls, and the man who is destined to be the next number one hero.

Author's Notes: So here's the thing…I kinda forgot that I have the next week off from school. So with my unexpected downtime, I decided to try and crank out another chapter. And this is the result. Like I said in my last post, I am NOT back to doing weekly updates for the story. When I have the time to write, I will. More than likely they will be monthly at best.

1. After doing some thinking and brainstorming, I've decided on how I'm going to finish out the story. As well as make a few changes to my original plan for the ending. There's going to be two arcs before the inevitable time skip. The first of which we are currently in now. I still have to work out the details, but I suspect that each arc will be roughly 4-6 chapters…maybe.

2. I'm still getting back into the swing of writing again. Being gone for almost two and a half years really dulled my skills. Although I did intend for this chapter to feel somewhat "disjointed" at the beginning and end, I'm not sure if I executed it the way that I wanted to. But this is the best that I could do.

3. Are there any characters from other series (anime/manga/comics/cartoons) that you guys want to see make an appearance? I have an idea for a scene and I think it will be fun to let you guys have some input on who could show up. Obviously, they won't be the actual characters themselves, but more of an in-universe reference. So tell me who you want to make a cameo in the story.

Anyways, thank you guys for taking the time out of your busy lives to read my garbage writing. Let me know what you guys think of this chapter and don't be afraid to leave a review/comment. Have a wonderful day!
