User blog:LastPaladin2021/Chapter 3: First Day.

I woke up to see a beautiful sunrise. I knew it was the first day of school, and I was excited to go. I pulled on my bands and my uniform, making sure it was all in order. I grabbed my New Special Book, unfilled and blank, just waiting for drawings to fill its pages. I stepped out of my room.

"LEMME GO, YOU OLD HAG! I DON'T NEED A TIE!" Katsuki yelled as Mom fully restrained him and put on his tie.

"Mornin' kiddo! Are you excited?" Mom asked, a smile on her face. I nodded meekly. Sitting down and eating my breakfast quickly. Soon, Katsuki and I were ready to go, we were posing for a quick photo (Katsuki was reluctantly smiling while I was smiling widely.)

"Alright, Mom! We're gonna go! Have a good day! C'mon Katsu!" I cried.

"Remember you two, I love you both more than life itself and the world is a scary place!" Mom called as we left the house.

As we walked, I had popped in my music as he walked alongside my brother, latched onto him as usual. We got to the train station, boarding the train as we had an hour before school to spare. He was playing a game on his phone, leaning against me, I smiled as I nodded his head to my music. Lo and behold, life had to kick our peaceful morning in the nuts and tear it to pieces.

A woman was standing close to us, watching us quietly as her son milled around being a total nuisance. He saw Lil Endeavor poking out of my bag, and took it. I didn't notice until I wanted to cling on to something other than his brother. He usually had his Endeavor if no one I trusted was around to cling to. I had the little plush since I was five.

"Um... Katsu? My Endeavor is gone!" I gasped.

Katsuki looked at his brother, "What? Where'd he go?" he asked.

"He was right in my bag! Where..." I faltered, seeing the boy messing around with him.

"Hey! Kid!" Katsuki called as the kid came over, Lil Endeavor in his hand.

"That's my brother's, he needs it," Katsuki said, smiling amicably at the boy.

"No! It's mine, Finders Keepers!" He yelled back.

Katsuki looked like he wanted to strangle the kid, "I'mma give you ONE-SHOT. Give me the Endeavor, now." he growled.

I got up, my eyes covered by my hair, I quickly snatched the Endeavor away, "Thank you, it's our stop." I said quietly.

We stepped off the train, giving the kid my extra one.

They got to the campus, listening to their music and Renaru peacefully cuddled his worn-out plush as they went to their class. Class 1-A was still filling up as Katsuki slid the door aside.

"WHAT'S UP, ALL YOU DUMBASSES?!" He yelled, making me cower behind him.

"YOU BETTER NOT EVEN BREATHE ON MY BRO! HE IS THE ONLY PERSON I FUCKING CARE ABOUT!" He yelled, stomping over to his seat. I scuttled over to mine.

I buried my face into the plush, breathing in its familiar scent. Katsuki always had to make a big deal out of everything. The scent was sweet and sour, reminding me of someone I knew, someone I hadn't seen in years... My father. I was interrupted from my musings by the sound of footsteps.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?" A voice said.

I looked up and saw Ibara standing there. She wore a longer version of the uniform skirt and she looked good in that uniform. She looked down at Lil Endeavor clenched in my hands.

"Ibara? I didn't even know you had 1-A! Maybe it was a schedule change?" I gasped, happy that his oldest and long-time friend could be here to stay with me for this new chapter in my life.

Her small smile told me all I needed to know.

"The only reason why I'm here is that there was someone that was booted out of the exams... I think his name was Mineta or something... In any case, I'm glad to be by your side, Ren!" she said, smiling and sitting down at the desk next to me I put Lil Endeavor away. Another guy came up to me.

He had blazing red hair and a bro-like smile, "Hey there! Looks like you and I are gonna be deskmates with this lovely little lady! The name's Eijirou Kirishima!" he greeted.

"Renaru Bakugou and the lady is Shiozaki Ibara, nice to meet you!" I introduced and I saw Katsuki willingly talking to a brown-haired girl, clearly miffed.

"SHUT IT, KIRBY!" he yelled.

'Typical Katsu, always trying to start something...' Renaru thought.

"Wait... that kid's your brother? Wow... and I thought he was angry..." Kirishima sighed.

"My brother cares about me, but he kind of gets mad easily..." I said, my hands shaking.

"Huh? What was that?" Kirishima asked, pointing to my hands which were shaking.

"W-well... I was born with balance and motor skill issues. It makes my hands unsteady." I explained as Kirishima smiled.

"That is SO cool! You're... you're DOUBLE SPECIAL!" Kirishima proclaimed, clenching his fist and wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"COME, MY NEW BRO! WE GOTTA BECOME HEROES!" Kirishima yelled, smiling, he dashed out the door with me in tow until Ibara dragged us back to our desks with her hair, the thorns weren't there, so neither one of us got hurt.

Ibara hugged me to her chest, making me blush scarlet and Kirishima smirked.

"Aw, cute!" A floating uniform cried, running over.

"AHH! G-ghosts! THEY'RE REAL!" I yelled, hiding behind her, shivering. Who wrapped some of her hair around me, giving me some sort of comfort.

"What? I'm not a ghost!" The uniform objected.

"T-then... what do you look like? C-can you t-turn it off?" I asked.

"No..." The uniform sighed, her voice glum.

"My apologies! That was very uncouth!" I yelled and Kirishima snickered.

"Man, Tooru got you!" A boy with longish blond hair with a few black streaks in it laughed, walking towards us.

"My name's Denki, It's nice to meet all of you. Tooru and I were wondering... what are you guy's quirks?" Denki asked.

"W-well... my quirk i-is explosions. With a higher payload than my brother... I can't aim very well due to my shaky hands... I don't like hurting people either... Oh! I also have a weird spirit projection thing." I explained.

"I have a quirk that hardens my body to bone-tough armor and lances and awesome stuff like that!" Kirishima explained.

"And I have vine-like hair, I can grab things, and adjust the sharpness of the thorns on them." Ibara described I sat down at the desk next to her, laying my head against her shoulder. My red eyes closed peacefully.

"Aww... you two are so... CUTE!" Tooru cheered, her sleeves bobbing up and down.

Shiozaki blushed, "Renaru likes clinging on to those he trusts if he has no one to cling to, he either shuts down or gets the Endeavor plush he has." she said quietly.

"But... you two are still so cute together! It's like you two complete each other!" Tooru cried.

Kirishima nodded, "I approve of that statement, Tooru!" he agreed as I huddled into Ibara's shoulder, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Can you all take a chill pill? He's lookin' a little overwhelmed." Denki asked.

The others nodded as Shiozaki gently ran her pale hand through my blond locks and the storage cabinet shook.


 * BANG BANG*


 * shuffle*

My grip tightened on Ibara, and Katsuki was at my side in a second. A yellow bag fell out of the cabinet, slamming to the floor.

"AHHHHH!" All of 1-A screamed, quirks activating. Except for Ibara, a boy with two different hair colors, me, and Ponytail.

I immediately stood up, kneeling and helping the bag to stand.

"Stop touching it, Ren! What if... What if it's dangerous?" Katsuki yelled.

"It isn't. It's our teacher!" I said, the bag standing and turning around.

"SIT DOWN!" a voice yelled.

We all did as we were told.

"I'm too tired to deal with you guy's bullshit, okay? Let's get this started!" Their teacher snarled. He unzipped the bag and stowed it in the cabinet, walking to the front of the room.

"My name is Shouta Aizawa, Let's get this test done, shall we?" he asked as we all filed out, with him watching us closely, raking a hand through his black hair languidly.

Something about those two set Aizawa's inner alarms off, he just didn't know what.

'I'll have to keep an eye on them...' he thought.

We all lined up to receive our assignment. I was shuddering in anticipation, it's not often that I get to show off my quirk, especially since Fire of Soul is so protective.

"Now, you may find this test extremely simple, but all you have to do is lob this ball as hard as you possibly can, with your Quirks, then there are other tests as well. Just physical ones, Renaru, Katsuki, you both are first." Aizawa ordered, with my older brother stepping forwards.

He used his quirk to blast it high into the sky, the faint sound of glass shattering in the distance.

"Now, take off your bands and let loose, Renaru." Aizawa scoffed.

I picked up the other ball... my bands falling to the ground with small craters forming under them.


 * Thwok! Thwok! Thwok! Paf!* I caught the ball in my shaking hands. My hands sparked brightly with a blue flare.

"Stand back, I'm gonna let loose with all I've got!" I yelled, drawing his arm back, the sparks igniting any second. Fire of Soul appeared behind me. I smiled, my red eyes glimmering as my fuel boiled within me.

"HYDROGEN... SHELL!" I yelled, firing it off and a huge blast blew almost everyone away. in the bright corona of the explosion, my smile was wide.

"Beat that!" he challenged the others, my stomach growled mightily.

"When's lunch? I'm starving!" I asked, nonplussed that he pretty much tossed his classmates in his blast.

"Uh..." he looked around, seeing everyone scattered around, with some of them still on their feet, watching me in shock. 'OH NO! I-I killed them! Barely even a day and I already have a body count?!' I thought in a panic. But then, Kirishima and the rest of 1-A got back up, staring at me in shock. Aizawa walked up to me.

"Throw one again!" he ordered.

"But... my fuel was used up! It's dangerous if I run on empty!" I objected.

"Fine, grab your bands, and sit in the bleachers, you're done," Aizawa said, smirking as I walked towards the bleachers, head hung low and I sat, my P.E uniform was torn up. I kept my head held low, looking down in shame. 'I... could've killed everyone... Katsu, Ibara, and my new friends... all of them dead...' I thought and Katsuki plunked down beside me after yelling at Aizawa who just didn't care.

"Katsu... I can KILL people." I sighed.

"Yeah, I can too. I knew you didn't intend to." Katsuki acknowledged.

"You don't understand, Katsu! I could've taken all of UA with me! Now everyone's scared of me! I have the payload of a hydrogen bomb! That's why I hold back! Because I don't want to hurt anyone! I'm going to be a murderer! I can't be a hero with a quirk like this!" I yelled, my eyes blazing and I punched the bleachers in frustration.

Shiozaki watched her friend rage and rant, airing so many grievances. She noticed that he was yelling about her, about his brother, about Kirishima and the others. He walked towards the inside, grabbing his bag from where he left it and pulled out his Endeavor, holding it tightly as he sobbed.

She had followed him, sitting down next to him.

Shio tried to put her arm around his shoulders, but he scooted away as the rest of the class came in, staying silent because of what happened. Aizawa motioned towards the door for Shiozaki and Renaru to go outside.

They sat down against the lockers as Ibara drew him into an embrace, "I can kill people... without even meaning to. How can I..." Renaru was mumbling.

"Hush! Don't speak!" Shiozaki said, holding Renaru tightly. Shiozaki cupped his cheek, her eyes staring into his.

"W-what?" He stammered.

"Renaru Bakugou, you can and will become a hero! I worry about you! I always have ever since you moved away from our hometown! I care about you and how you feel! You might even say that I love you." Ibara reasoned.

"This... this is going a little too fast..." Renaru stammered.

"So what? You love me in that way as well. I see it there in your eyes." Shiozaki leaned forwards, kissing Renaru on the cheek.

"I will NEVER give up on you, now come, the next class is about to start." Shiozaki said, grabbing her friend's hand, shaky or not. She would still hold it.

They all had the same schedules, as they were all part of the same hero class, first up after homeroom was Modern Art. Renaru sat in the back, not willing to talk much after second was a lunch break, and the third, fourth, and fifth-period classes because the schedule was so weird.

Everyone was excited for the next class to start as Renaru was jittery again with excitement, he can finally show off his drawings! And design his hero suit and gear!

They saw a woman with long black hair and sky blue eyes enter, dressed in rather provocative attire for a schoolteacher, a sly smile was on her lips as she strode up through the aisle, eyeing every one of the boys. Her eyes locked with Renaru's as his already uncomfortable attitude was rising to full-blown panic. There was something about her that made Renaru feel immediately unsafe. Her eyes were beautiful, and she knew she had him under her spell.

"Something you like, little boy?" the woman taunted, sashaying towards Renaru, leaning down, her chest just inches away from his face. He took a deep breath, about to speak.

"ACHOO! Shit! Uh... I got a bloody nose!" Denki yelled, distracting their teacher long enough for Renaru to come out of it. He'd used his quirk to cause it, and he ran out with a tissue stuck up in his nostrils.

Their teacher, who introduced herself as the 18+ heroine Midnight, and gravitated instantly back to Renaru, the distraction only momentarily working.

"Back to... business," she said, sultry and almost seductive.

'Who the hell made her a teacher? She's coming on to my new bro! Renaru's too nice to tell her to stop! SO IT'S UP TO ME!' Kirishima made a huge show of throwing his chair down.

Midnight looked up at Kirishima.

"Look, my new bro doesn't like that kinda thing! instead... TAKE... ON ME!" Kirishima sang loudly, dancing furiously.

"C'mon! TAKE ON ME! YOU KNOW THE WORDS!" Kirishima yelled as Mina joined in.

Midnight brought her whip down on the desk, making a loud cracking sound.

The pair was sufficiently cowed as Renaru made a mad dash for Katsuki, as he was closer, and was already standing, miffed with that teacher. She had grabbed Renaru.

"Now, now, don't be scared, but then again... here's your assignment for today! You all have to draw me a beautiful portrait to free this little cutie..." Midnight started, caressing Renaru's cheeks with her hands.

"Hey! He's the best artist in this class! YOU BETTER LET MY BROTHER GO YOU HARPY!" Katsuki yelled.

Shiozaki tried to get close, but a quick crack of the whip kept her back.

Renaru was clenching his Endeavor plushie to his chest, shut down.

"Let me through! He's scared out of his mind!" Shiozaki pleaded.

Katsuki was drawing like a madman, "I'LL GETCHA OUTTA THERE, BROTHER! AHHHH!" he yelled, making Kira's linework look like a kindergartener's shorthand.

"No! No! NO! You're getting it... huh?" Midnight faltered, seeing a page from Ren's Special Book on her desk.

"As you were walking up to me, I drew a quick sketch of you! I knew that you had my profile on hand because your suit doesn't have pockets! Denki, Mina, and Kiri's distractions gave me enough time to finish it! Also, securing my student profile from you!" Renaru cheered, tapping the side of his head.

"NOW, MISS MIDNIGHT, I NOW CONSIDER YOUR ASSIGNMENT... COMPLETE!" Renaru laughed.

"You didn't get my nose right..." Midnight giggled.

"WHA? NO!" Renaru gasped.

"HAHAHAHA! HERE I COME!" Katsuki yelled, tossing his picture at her.

"Hm? Oh! It's almost lunch! See you all tomorrow! My husband is waiting for me!" Midnight chirped, leaving the room.

"What just happened? I feel like something awesome just happened, I just don't know what..." a tall boy with dark blue hair and glasses sighed, with the other students not actively participating in the huge confrontation agreeing with him. Lunch break was finally upon them!

Me, Ibara, and Kirishima walked to the cafeteria. The streams of other students went into the huge room. With so many options, I picked all of the spiciest options.

"Hey bro, you sure you can handle that heat?" Kirishima asked.

"Yeah, the hotter my food is, the better my fuel is!" I cheered.

"So... let's say if you were to eat a ghost pepper, how potent would your fuel be?" Ibara asked.

"Well... I'd be able to use my ultimate payload! The Ragnarok ULTRA!" I yelled, striking a pose. Giggling happily. Kirishima posed alongside me. With Ibara shrugging and doing the same.

"SANJOU! EXPLOSIVE TOKU-SEN-TAI!" we yelled in surprise tandem. We sat down, our trays covered in food.

As Renaru shoveled food into his mouth, Shio tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hm? Yeah, Shio?" he asked.

"The next class is swimming..." Shio commented, smiling.

"What? No! I-I can't swim!" He objected.

"I'm sure they'll understand... I'll be with you, okay? It's remedial and it's solo lessons, so it'll just be me and you, okay?" she assured.

I nodded as Denki, who joined them later, said, "Maybe Shio's got a sexy swimsuit... hehe." the lightning boy snickered as I sent him a warning glare. I took my tray to the washer and sat back down, opening up my old world. To the picture of me and Ibara playing with Howl and Calcifer, who chose a more humanoid form after he became free from his 'curse' it was more of a contract. I felt someone looking over his shoulder.

"You love those movies, don't you?" Ibara asked coyly.

"Yeah, I always wanted a sub like Fujimoto's or a castle-like Howl. Or to swim like Ponyo, or walk through the air like Sophie... oddly enough... I forgot your name and just referred to you as Angel." I giggled, grabbing her hand.

"Now you gotta teach me one of those things, isn't that weird?" I asked.

"It's not weird at all. You've long since forgotten!" Shiozaki said, grabbing Ren's hand and guiding him towards the pool outside.

The teacher that was out there in case things went wrong was a guy with slate-gray hair in a red and black shirt, watching a little boy with spiky black hair and bright blue eyes playing with a teddy bear.

"Mr. Kenzaburo! I'm here!" She called.

"Hey! There you two are! Good to meet the two of ya! The name's Giriko! That little guy right over there's my kiddo Akira. You've already met my wife." he sighed sheepishly.

"Can I go visit Mommy?" The kid asked.

"Sure, go find your Uncle Hizashi or Mr. Aizawa, alright? I gotta make sure these two don't end up makin' out." Giriko snarked, smirking.

Akira giggled and ran off, leaving the pair who were already in the pool to their own devices as Giriko watched them like a hawk.

I didn't like feeling weightless, or the fact that I had to go horizontal. Ibara held me close, her calming voice the only thing I focused on.

"Kick, keep kicking, keep your arms straight, Ren." she coached gently. She soon let go, swimming alongside him, her long green hair spread out in the water, fanned out and flowing beautifully. The water truly made things more beautiful.

I let out a joyous whoop as he wheeled through the water, my body and hands remembered in tandem what to do instead of one at a time. I wasn't exactly a strong swimmer, but at least I could swim now. I stopped against the wall, with Ibara stopping next to me, her eyes sparkling with pride.

"You're a fast learner," She said, her smile wide and genuine.

My eyes drifted to her swimsuit, it was a dark green bikini with white lining.

"Do you like my swimming attire? Momo-chan made it for me once I suggested this for..." Shio faltered as she realized that wasn't something to say to her crush.

"Wait... did you just do this as a ploy to spend more time with me?" I asked, loosening his bands and throwing them at his stuff.

"Well... it's part of a plan Mina-chan and Tooru-chan..." Shio faltered, blushing scarlet as my hands, barely even shaking, grabbed her hands.

"You don't need a plan, Shiozaki. You don't need a sexy swimsuit. You're fine as you are... I..."

"Should I go?" Giriko piped up.

"Yes!" we said in unison.

Giriko walked off towards where his son went, smirking in his happy way. 'Damn kids... makin' me feel...' he thought, smiling.

I grabbed her hands again, "I... love you, Ibara Shiozaki, I always remembered that time on the beach where we built sandcastles and gathered seashells and played under the cherry trees, wishing that summer would never end. Yet it did. Now, we're back in each other's arms again... I don't want to let go! I want... I want... A normal life with you! Let me be your firework!" he said, smiling.

She decided to kiss me, full and true, a proclamation beyond words. In our minds, the fireworks went off, sparks flew, everything just felt... right.

We got on our uniforms and walked back to class, hand in hand.

"Dude! Where've you been? We're about to get dorm assignments!" Denki called.

"Yeah, that swimming lesson sure did take a while. Looks like you two are next-door neighbors! AND we're together! In the same building!" Kirishima yelled.

"So! How have you two been adjusting?!" Mitsuki yelled over the noise of the stove, she was cooking something and couldn't hear her boys too well. They couldn't leave the campus, so they all decided to pretend that they were at home.

"Well, they said that we were gonna have to move into the dorms on campus, so tonight's our last night at home with you. I've been swimming with Shio every day! I've been finding more and more ways to adjust my quirk! My fuel is more potent the spicier my food is!" Renaru reported.

"Yeah, Ren's been makin' friends left n' right, and Shiozaki's his girlfriend now. They started dating a few weeks ago." Katsuki drawled.

I smiled. Blushing a bit from the comment about Shiozaki.

"The first day was so weird though, the art teacher held me hostage, and Katsu looked like he was gonna kill her." I sighed heavily.

"Hm... how interesting," Mitsuki said.

We had gathered up the stuff we were taking and were talking via video call so that we could talk to Mom.

"You wanna see my dorm? I'm rooming on my own... but it's nice! It looks almost like it's home! So don't worry about me! I gotta take a shower, love you!" I cheered happily.

Mitsuki smiled as her younger son disconnected, leaving her and her oldest alone.

Katsuki sighed quietly, "Ren... he's so positive. I'm just scared. I'm scared that he'll lose that..."

"You know Shiozaki won't let that happen. His friends won't let that happen, and you won't let that happen! You care about him so much, take care of him for me, Katsu." Mitsuki said, disconnecting before Katsuki could tell her that he loved her.

"Love you too, mom." he sighed.

Mitsuki Bakugou was the epitome of a success story, beautiful, independent, and so very outspoken. Aizawa knew more about her than her kids by now. She was raised by her single mother, who had died the year before the Bakugou twins were born. Never knew her father, or even saw him until recently. He followed her social media and pretty much knew her routine by rote memorization.

'There's gotta be something about their grandfather...' Aizawa thought, poring over his notes, his eyes frantically searching for anything in the database, or even a CRUMB of data.

Then he remembered, 'Renaru and Katsuki had seen him! Which one of them is still up?! Probably Renaru. Yeah, it's only eight!' he thought, grabbing a notebook and running to the dorms, finding Renaru's door easily enough. He heard sounds of a video game coming through the door, it sounded like the new All of the Bravest title. He knocked.

"Door's open!" I called.

Aizawa came through the door. I paused the game, "Uhm. Am I in trouble?" I asked. I was huddled on the floor, a huge fluffy blanket wrapped around my shoulders and my Endeavor plush in my lap, I looked so innocent and pure and my reddish-pink eyes looked up at him.

"No. I just need to ask you some questions... about your grandfather." Aizawa said.

"Oh... A-are you going to... expel me?" I asked.

"Not at all. You just need to answer my questions, all right?" Aizawa assured, sitting down beside me.

"Okay..." I breathed out, almost coaching myself along.

"What do you feel when you're around him?" Aizawa asked.

"Fear. Just fear. Cold and empty. That is what I feel around him." I muttered.

Aizawa wrote that down, "Has he ever displayed his power before?" he continued.

I grew distant, "He... killed someone... he had... the man, my father's voice. I remember crying. My mom was holding me, then... then I can't remember the rest." I held my plush to my chest.

"Do you remember how he killed?" Aizawa asked.

"Big spikes of bone. Blood everywhere." I then started to cry.

I hugged Aizawa, "Don't let me go back... I don't wanna go back!" I sobbed.

He awkwardly hugged me, "Go back where?" he asked.

"The bar! The bar!" I yelled.

He wrote those two things down as a blur of green sped into the room, separating the two of us.

"Stop!" Shiozaki snapped, hugging me to her chest, her hair forming a kind of tether to her and I. She'd heard my panicked cries and ran to help.

"Ibara, this is none of your business. I was just asking him some questions..." Aizawa said.

"Yes! That's precisely what's wrong! You're asking him questions he doesn't want to answer! You're making him relive that moment!" she snarled, holding me in her arms as Aizawa stood.

"Fine." he snarled.

"At least you gave my grandchildren powerful Quirks, now begone."

"DADDY!" I screamed, remembering it all. Blood, screams, silence. ANGER.

"HOW COULD YOU?!" I screamed sparks lit up in my hands as Ibara held onto me tightly.

Slow... painful...

"Blood..." I sighed. Silence... Mother, Father, Brother, and Baby... Mother, Brother, and Baby... Sounds scary at midnight, doesn't It? Your father's DEATH? All Your Fault!

Ibara held on for dear life, there was no calming him from this.

Then... I stopped, my red eyes looking into her green, I didn't smile, didn't break down, I just... stared. Catatonic, unmoving. my hands shaking fiercely as if I was warding something off.

"Is he going to be..." Aizawa started.

"Leave! You made him this way! Now leave!" Ibara insisted, pushing the teacher out of the door. Slamming it shut behind him.

She laid down next to me, her arms wound tightly around me, her hair weaving around me as well, forming some sort of extra comfort for me.

"Mmm... Ibara?" I asked, coming out of my stupor. Seeing the lights off, and the only light being the moon in the window. Wrapped in my big fluffy blanket and holding the most beautiful girl in existence to my chest. I looked down at her face and saw that she was crying, or had cried while I was remembering that, my shaky hands cupped her cheeks. I looked out at the stars in the sky, then back to her.

"Dad... did you send her?" I asked the stars.

One of them twinkled, not in response, not an answer, just shined.

I smirked and settled into pleasant sleep that night, forgetting the past for just a moment. We slept soundly, the blanket covering both of us from head to toe. The next morning, just about everyone in 1-A heard about what happened, with Katsuki immediately concerned.

Kirishima snuck in alongside Denki, he wanted to find out what caused the whole, 'Dorm Incident.' He brought Denki as the back-up.

"Seriously dude, this is their time together, why'd you bring me anyway?" Denki whispered.

"Wait... in All of the Bravest, he's the Grandmaster Midnight?! I've been trying to beat him since last summer!" Kirishima growled, looking up at the screen, seeing my special Midnight's stat screen, seeing the bright gold symbol of grandmastery. He also saw the small statuette of the heroine next to the one of Endeavor on the entertainment center. I was a meticulous person by nature, as everything in his room screamed, 'I'm organized and I don't give a crap!'

"N-no way... he's got the limited edition Judgement Idole!" Kirishima fanboyed quietly.

"Dude, why'd you bring me?" Denki asked quietly.

"Because you're the equivalent to a human taser! Also, you gotta record this." Kirishima said as Denki reluctantly readied his phone.

We were in that period between waking and sleeping where you can hear things but you haven't opened your eyes yet too. She was somewhat holding back her laughter as the pair of Denki and Ejiro were snooping around. She could've done something, but she felt my lips plant soft kisses on the back of her neck in my sleep. It was her weak spot, it always made her blush and go weak in the knees if someone kissed her there, and the fact that I was sleepily muttering nonsense made the vine-haired girl want to just giggle aloud, that was what she loved about me, I made her happy and my joy was her joy.

"WAKE UP, SLEEPYHEADS!" Kirishima yelled.

I shot up, "DID YOU GUYS TOUCH MY IDOLES?!" I yelled, clambering over to the EC, seeing my figures not where I left them.

"You got the order all wrong! Midnight and Judgement are supposed to stand next to each other, while Endeavor's 'sposed to stand next to... where's All-Might?" I asked.

Kirishima smiled as Renaru glared at him.

"Give it," I said.

"I don't have it!" Kirishima said. I looked at Denki, who just shrugged. I looked at my nightstand, seeing the statue there.

"Ah! Okay! I must've put it there 'cause I was usin' him! Hehe!" I giggled and Ibara sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes and Kirishima yowled out.

"THEY SLEPT TOGETHER! OOOOOOH YEAH! YOU OWE ME TWENTY BUCKS, ASHIDO!" he ran out and Denki awkwardly bowed, "I'll see myself out." he said, backing out.

She wrapped the blanket around herself, feeling indecent.

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

"Well... I felt myself fade away... then, I just felt all warm and heard your voice. You kept on saying, 'It's going to be okay, he's not here, everything is gonna be okay.' Then I woke up to your arms around me, you cried, didn't you?" I asked.

"Of course I did! My boyfriend was yelling about a memory that my teacher brought back so selfishly and callously! As I was holding on to you, you were thrashing and crying and screaming..." Ibara said as I shrugged off my shirt.

What she saw on his back was nothing short of nightmarish. It was a spider web of scars, most certainly not from his mother, but someone else. I also had one on my cheekbone. She'd never seen them before.

"Where'd you get the scars?" she asked.

"Where do you think? From my bastard of a grandfather! I'd rather not talk about it." I growled just like my brother. Ibara flinched back a bit from me as I shrugged on a new shirt.

"Sorry. I lost my composure..." I sighed, putting on my uniform and Shiozaki stood, watching me wash my rather long blond hair. I reached for the towel, bumping her on accident.

"This is a one-butt bathroom!" I joked, drying my hair and tying it back in a messy ponytail. Ibara went back to her dorm to grab her uniform, walking back still wrapped in the blanket.

She saw Mina, all dressed and ready. She ran towards her.

"So, I take it the swimming lesson went well! You slept with him last night too?! Man, you two are going fast!" She cheered.

"Not in a sexual way, he just... had an issue up in his mind. I had to push Mr. Aizawa out of the room because of it." Ibara sighed.

"Wow... that must've been bad..." Mina sighed.

"Yes. It was horrifying, he kept on screaming, and everything. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go get ready." She left at that to check on Renaru and how he was doing.

He was already gone, there was a note that read:

Hey Shio, I'm gonna go have some breakfast, you can take a shower, brush your hair, whatever, just close the door and lock it... Love, Ren.

She smiled, his handwriting had gotten way better, almost flowing with how neat it was. She had to get ready for the day, though.
