"Brush-brush, mop-mop~" You say in a sing-song tone under your breath, as you mop and drag a brush with your foot, taking your time and making sure to leave every single tile spotless.

While it's not a job you like to do, there's no way you'll do it shoddily. And even it's in no way your main reason to be excited about the Sports Festival, not having to clean the classroom on your own anymore was still a good reason to wait for the day with bated breath.

>"I am not telling you to hurry, but stalling and making father wait more than needed will not end well." Shoto tells you, leaning against the doorframe and holding your backpack.

"I'm not stalling." You say without missing a beat. "...I just don't believe in half-assing things. That's all."

>"While intimidating, he will not dare to do anything that could scar you." Shoto reassures you, before looking up and continuing. "Then again, I have seen him blow a hole through stained glass without charring the edges."

"Don't worry, he can't kill anyone. But you'd be surprised what you can live through." You say, mockingly imitating the Genie's voice and scraping the last piece of gunk from the floor. "Good pep talk. I'm done anyway, let's get this over with."

>"I do not see how withholding that from you would be a good idea." He replies, walking with you as you go return your mop and bucket to the supply closet. "It may not be as reassuring, but I would rather see you nervous than hurt."

"I'm not nervous." You reply, trying to believe it yourself.

Shoto isn't fooled, however, looking at you and slightly raising an eyebrow.

"Okay! Okay… I'm a bit nervous." You tell him, taking your backpack and starting the walk towards the train station. "I'm stickin' to my guns though."

One thing you can say about Shoto, that you still can't decide if it's a good or a bad thing, is that he doesn't make small talk. Or at least, he doesn't initiate it.

So even though he would reply to your chatter, you don't exchange words during the train ride.

Even knowing that there's no way he'd do any serious damage, you can't help the block of solid ice in your gut when Endeavor himself opens the front door, instead of his daughter.

>"Shoto, young Walker." The hero says as he steps aside to let you enter. "I was starting to think you two had run off again."

Him opening the door himself isn't that odd. The fact that he's wearing his costume however, is. He even has the boots, mask, eyebrows and beard flames burning bright.

It makes you take a small step back and scrambles your head a bit. What did he say?

>"Cleaning took longer than usual, father." Shoto says, covering you. "We came as soon as we could."

>"...Good. Shoto, come with me." The elder Todoroki says after a few seconds of silence, then he turns back towards you. "You go get changed and meet us in the training room."

You practically squeeze yourself against the doorframe to not walk too close to his flaming apparel, and quickly change into your work out clothes. Not much more comfortable, but a lot easier to move in.

After changing and spending a minute trying to remember where the training room is, you enter, finding Endeavor standing on the edge of a white circle, looking at his son, who is sitting by the wall.

He starts talking as soon as he sees you enter.

>"Listen up, both of you. Shoto, your task was to train her, and you let her leave as soon as she did the bare minimum. Now I want you sit and watch what that leniency yields." The hero explains, then ignites his fists in pale, yet orange flames and points at you. "Walker, take your place in front of me. Let's see if you actually learnt anything."

Remember that block of ice in your gut? As you take your place in the "arena", it starts to feel like an iceberg. He doesn't need to go into detail, all you need to know is that the strongest fire quirk user in the country wants to leave a fist shaped brand on you.

>"Settle down, girl. I won't assume you know what a cold flame is, but suffice to say that unless you purposefully grab onto my hands, this can't cause more than a first degree burn." Endeavor tells you, seemingly reading you like a napkin. "I will hold back enough to make dodging possible, but don't expect it to be easy."

Like you ever did...

>What do you do?

>[Lower your stance and get ready to move out of the way. "Alright. Let's do this."]
>[You almost got it last week. Almost. You can't do this yet. "...Can I try again that thing Shoto and I did last week, please?"]
>[Only first degree! Only! Nope. Better to get out. "I-I can't'. Sorry…"]
>[Write in.]

>the stinging smell of hospital grade disinfectants
You really gotta feel for Toshinori Yagi. And I'm not just being pretentious by using his legal name here. I mean that you've gotta feel for the man who dedicated his entire life to helping others, and now has to step back from it, leave it to the new generation. Helping people wasn't just something he did, it was central to his identity. No non-professional friendships. No personal life to speak of. Nothing but helping others, and he did it all with that big dumb grin on his face. But now, that's gone. He's lost the core of his very being. It's an angle very few superhero stories touch on, and as an older reader it's the one I appreciate the most in MHA.

You know, we should add another relationship die to Shoto.
It's sad that he has more for us than we have for him.

>>2586223
I agree with this. We should have an equal relationship

>>2586223
>>2586232

Yeah but we’re the biggest force in his support network but he isn’t the biggest force in ours. It’s not gonna be even.

We should give momma another die before (or while, I guess) giving another to Shoto.

>>2586223
Oh really? We gotta fix that.

>>2586207
Don't worry anon. The dice also hate you too.

>>2586223
I agree.

>>2586239
Also another to Mom. She's been tolerating a lot.

>>2586239
I was thinking we put a dice into "family".
That would technically give Momma another die, but also give us a die when interacting with other family memebers. And we know Ushi is big on strong familial bonds.

You lower your stance and pivot on your knees for a couple of seconds, trying to make sure you can move out of the way of the flame hero's burning fists when you need to.

Sure he said he'll hold back and that those are cold flames, whatever that oxymoron may specifically mean, but you can clearly feel the heat from nine feet away.

Why else would you be sweating? You are safe, after all.

You just have been put on the spot light to be an example and show your almost asocial friend why he shouldn't show leniency, but you won't get more than first degree burns.

You face the hulking man in front of you, but choose to not look at him in the eye, but at his nervous looking son.

His mouth is a thin line and he looks like he's trying to see how hard he needs to clench his jaw to break his own teeth.

It pains you inside to see him worried like that, but in your effort to make a hole through the walls Shoto built around himself, you managed to turn yourself into a glaring emotional weak point. He is well past caring about what his father could do to him, but he obviously cares about what he could do to you.

Oh, you don't regret a single second you spent to make it possible, but seeing that his father is trying to use you to get to him is infuriating.

You are not here to make things worse for Shoto, but to support him. And you plan to make it clear.

"Alright!." You shout, place your hands on your hips in the most exuberant front of bravado you can muster and nod, turning towards Endeavor with the widest and most confident smile can. "Let's do this!"

The fact that it was as close as you could get to All Might's famous smile is just a bonus, but you would be lying if you said you didn't take a certain sense of satisfaction at seeing his sneer becoming more pronounced.

>"Careful." The hero warns you, stepping forwards. "Few things can end you as fast as overconfidence."

In one swift and clearly practiced move, he rotates his upper body to take a quick jab at your midsection.

It's a good shot, and even if it's slower than you know he can be, it's not something you'd like to take.

As you see his attack come close to your body, you can't help but take a glance at your lone spectator, who looks like he's the one about to end with a fist-shaped brand.

And for a brief moment you share a glance, right before you feel the heat of the incoming punch, you wink at him, instantly overwriting his concern filled expression with confusion.

Feeling the heat of the blow before it can connect, you know exactly where it would hit you, and more importantly, how to get out of the way.

Against what your common sense told you, you take a small step closer to the hero, shifting your weight to your toes and raising your arms, quickly twirling to his right and to safety.

But before you can brag about it, he swiftly pivots on his right foot to deliver a second jab, this time with his left fist, and towards your chin.

While surprised by that, you didn't leave your guard down for long, throwing your arms over your head and using your knees and your back to bend backwards like a willow, seeing his fist fly mere inches above your nose.

He then pulls back and you stand up straight, happily looking at your relieved looking friend.


There is a pregnant pause as the elder Todoroki stares you down, wordlessly commanding you attention as he probably thinks about how to proceed.

>"The same results but without any sort of scaring, it seems." Shoto says with a hint of smugness in his voice, breaking the silence. "Maybe a bit kindness can be as good as contempt."

>"It's no secret that there is strength to be drawn from the milk of human kindness, Shoto." His father replies, stepping back and looking you up and down like a piece of meat again.

It's still as creepy as it was last time.

>"It's what drives small time heroes to do their best keep neighborhoods safe, but that's where their careers stagnate and die. It's talent, drive and training that brings the elite to the top." The hero explains, turning to look at his son. "She's good, but that's no surprise. She wouldn't be here otherwise."

"...I'm right here you know?" You tell him, and you could swear his flames flashed hotter at your interruption.

>"Yes, you are. But do you have anything to say?" He asks, obviously annoyed.

As a matter of fact, you do!

"Well, if you don't mind me askin', wouldn't it have made more sense to have Shoto use his quirk on me if the test is all about yours? Speakin' 'bout that… Can I use my quirk?" You ask, trying to stack the deck in your favor.

Yet his face tells you that you said something you really shouldn't have said.

For half a second, you are sure he's going to grab you by your intact horn and make sure you have none left, but his face softens just as quickly.

>"...Shoto. Would you use your flames on young Walker?" He asks, clearly and slowly.

>"No." Your friend laconically answers.

>"I hope that answers your question." Endeavor tells you, and for the first time since you first met him, he looks more tired than angry. "But yes, feel free to use your quirk."

All of his flames suddenly turn off as he…

Reaches forwards and gives you a single pat on the head. Uh?

>"Show me that you are not just good enough." He tells you, returning to his side of the circle and igniting once more. "Show us what a mixed quirk can do!"

>What do you do?

>[Trust your legwork and don't use your quirk.]
>[Cheat. That sort of flame can't get past your hide if you enlarge yourself!]
>[Shrink down to half your size! The extra speed and maneuverability would make this easier!.. Although a hit would surely hurt more.]
>[Shrink down to a few inches! The extra speed and maneuverability would make this a sinch!.. But a hit might be dangerous.]
>[...Fuck this. Turn the tables on him and attack!]
>[Write in.]

>[Write in.]

>>2587040

>>[Shrink down to half your size! The extra speed and maneuverability would make this easier!.. Although a hit would surely hurt more.]

>[Write-in]
Maybe just reassure Shoto a bit, we actually do agree with him on that. Using both halves of a Quirk is a good thing.

>>2587037
>Against what your common sense told you, you take a small step closer to the hero, shifting your weight to your toes and raising your arms, quickly twirling to his right and to safety.

Good enough?
Good enough!?

"What a mixed quirk can do? What about the training it took me to wield it?" and "Pal, I didn't cross a goddamn ocean to be good enough!" Are some of the things you want to yell at him, but bite your tongue in the last second, huffing a puff of steam off your nose instead.

There are better ways to express your righteous indignation than taunting someone known to melt concrete at will.

"Alright! I'll show you!" You say, placing your left hand on your thigh and taking a step forwards, grinning from ear to ear as your fake bravado is replaced with the real deal, being further bolstered by the pride of having done so well last time.

And you are quickly forced to prove it to be more than just hot air, as he wordlessly steps forwards and fires another quick jab at you, straight at your left elbow.

Instantly, you can tell that he's shifted to a higher gear, as the flaming fist flying towards you doesn't looks like a simple sparring hit to be caught by coach's padded glove like last time, but like an actual professional's. You know he can be faster than that, but just knowing that he's putting some effort into it makes you feel satisfied with yourself.

The blow flies straight and true, but still flies over you as you quickly shrink yourself, lean to your right and keep walking forwards, craning your neck to keep both of his fists within your field of view.

The moment he pulls his arm back, you activate your quirk again, returning nigh instantly to your natural size with the speed of a bullwhip and the crack to match.

While Shoto, who has seen you reach such speeds before, is not surprised, his father certainly is, taking a tenth of a second before reigniting the flames on his hands that your sonic boom put out. Yet he does so with a smirk on his face.

It's a bit creepy, true, but you have no time to think about that, as another jab flies towards your right shoulder as you keep walking towards him.

Decided to catch lightning in a bottle a second time in a row, you shrink, lean to your left and continue walking forwards, easily avoiding his attack before returning to your normal size with a clap of thunder.

The third blow is not a jab at all, but a downwards punch aimed straight between your horns, giving you no chance to sidestep it without getting a new burn on one of your horns, head or shoulders.

So you don't, quickly shrinking yourself to be only a few inches tall and roll towards him, feeling his fist tap in a surprisingly soft manner against the wooden floor before standing tall again.

As soon as he does, you return to your normal size, setting off a third, the loudest, sonic boom right in front of his face, putting out even his mask and beard for an instant.

Considering you are barely breaking a sweat, you actually impress yourself.

Then you realise you are trying to stare down a man thrice your age who has two feet of height over you. Who is also on fire. And inches away from you.

Then you look again at Shoto on the back, who is looking at you with rapt attention, with that little curve at the ends of his mouth you have learned to interpret as a smile.
He doesn't look worried anymore, why should you?

"Is that good enough?" You ask the hero, having to look almost straight up.

His hands stay off this time, as he crosses his arms and looks down at you.

>"Indeed. Your mix makes you incredibly hard to pin down." He says, idly pointing at you. "Your father's quirk provides you with overwhelming physical power and resilience, while your mother's allows you to both avoid harm and reduce threats."

He then turns to look at his son, but you speak first.

"It's not just my parents' quirks added together, you know?" You tell him loud and clear, to make sure both Todorokis are listening despite the possible hearing troubles. "It's my own new thing. My own quirk."

>"Made out of both of your parents' quirks." Endeavor points out. "A moot point."

"It's not that simple." You reply, shaking your head and focusing on Shoto. "We are our parents' children, and we always will be. But what we are and who we are are two different things. I'm my own person, and my quirk is mine and mine alone, and no one will ever be able to change that."

It's not new ground for you, but something you have thought about all your life, and something you have talked with Shoto before, with mixed results, so the first response catches you completely flat footed.

>"...That's an impressive amount of words to say nothing." The flame hero says, turning his back on you and walking away. "She's all yours Shoto. Spend the day as you please, but remember that she's here to train and that she won't be coming next week, so make it count."

And with that, he walks out of the room, leaving only you and Shoto in.

"...I hope at least you listened?" You ask Shoto, slumping forwards and feeling the wind leave your sails. "I'd like to at least feel like I'm doing something good for you..."

He quickly stands up and walks towards you.

>"Do not feel bad. He will never accept a viewpoint that reduces bloodlines' importance." Shoto says, giving you a soft pat in the back. "And if it makes you feel better, I will think about what you said."

"Really?" You ask him excitedly, happy that you are making some progress in helping him be happier.

>"Not now, but yes. I cannot say that I agree with you, but I'm starting to follow your logic." He explains, walking away for a couple of seconds and returning with a towel, handing it to you. "But for now, seeing that the Festival will take place next monday, what do you want to do?"

You think about that as you wipe the sweat off your brow.

Technically speaking, these two aren't mutually exclusive, but I want the Wind and to spend a bit more time picking Shoto's brain and having some chit chat about the festival and stuff.

And I kind of want to roll dice on a random chance something interesting happens.

Out of interest, can we do partial shrinking and growing or does it all have to stay proportional? Because that way we kept blasting out endeavour's flame made me think that if we can rapidly displace air as we punch by rapidly changing the size of our fist, we can hit things like a scaled-up mantis shrimp, which for them would be bad

>>2589627
>can we do partial shrinking and growing or does it all have to stay proportional?

Literaly the first thing we did in our test to U.A. we grew only one of our arms as at the same time growing a rock and threw it. The thing is we still need time to do it the right way without splitling our muscles. So we can do it but we can't do it to fast without risking our body. Maybe that will be what we coukd train during the school trip.

>+1 Impromptu combos/ combos

>>2589627
We can, but it’s much harder, certainly harder to do on the fly.

I wonder if Shoto will pick Ushi i the cavalry competition. And if he does, would Iida be free and join with Deku? Or would he join Bakugou?

>>2589643
Everyone who wants to win would try to pick Ushi.

>>2589643
>Not being miles away on giantess ushi when your defending or suddenly in range when needed

>>2589656
So Shoto horse gonna be; Shoto, Ushi, Momo and Iida?

Because if this is done i don't think anyone in the festival would be able to top this horse.

>>2589753
That sounds like a lot of clashing play styles to me.

Let’s go Ushi/Jiro/Tsuyu/(Ibara or Kirishima or Tetsutetsu)

>>2589753
>>2589768
What about Ushi/Urukaka/Bakaguo/Mineta?
That might be a good all around combo!

>>2589792
That’s everyone we have the hardest time cooperating with.

How viable would it be in the cavalry competition to have Ushi grow to max size and just carry her whole team on her shoulders? So that only people with certain quirks can reach our points?

>>2589815
It depends on our starting point value and who is on our team. If we have the million points and a good enough defense, sure. If we have low points though, we'll want to have people with excellent reach for grabbing headbands, like Tsuyu, Jiro, and Ibara.

>>2589822
Instead of winning, we team up with the million points holder, shrink them and the band to ant-size and put in a pocket. Flawless plan.

>>2589831
It is not. Ants are fragile and pockets aren't good defense.

>>2589503
Sorry, I'll pick 1d Shoto then

>>2589815
Well a plan that was tossed around a bit was teaming with Kirishima, and growing him large because he would be more resilient than us. it's sort of viable.

>>2589768
Momo can give us diversity with her quirk, She hust create small objects we grow then to the right size. Iida is the speed, to make sure we win't get in his way, Momo can give everyone that is working as the lower part of the horse, some skate rollers. Ushi can also use our shrik in anyone dumb enough to approach her and take out some of the competition horse. Not to mention the increased fire power we can get if Ushi makes Todoriki or the entire horse ( which she can because Momo could just pass a cord conecting the entire horse like she did witht he blanket during the villains attack.)

What to do... You give that a fair bit of thought.

It's hard to believe you just up and walked through a flurry of Endeavor's blows unscathed! But you can clearly remember doing it.

A bit of posturework and how to shift your center of gravity picked from your training sessions at the Tigers' Den, mixed with what Shoto beat into you last week about recognizing trajectories on the fly and reacting instantly and, as your sudden desire to go for a family sized meal, or at least mow the lawn with your teeth reminds you, your quirk and the years of fiddling and fine tuning your control over it enough to pull off such a stunt without falling to the floor or lodging your horns on the ceiling every time you shifted your mass.

All that, plus the reassuring presence of a friend who wanted you to succeed.

Looking back at it under that light, your success is not that surprising.

In a real fight, Endeavor would have easily blanketed in flames the area you were in when you shrunk instead of playing horrifying injury tag, so you file that part of the story for when you tell Momma about it.

Instead, you focus on the tiredness and hunger using your quirk that much usually gives you.
Usually. While you are certainly hungry, you are coping with the hypoglycemia way better than normal, and you aren't sure why.

With the Festival being so close and this being your last chance to train here before it, you decide that figuring out how did you do that should be your top priority.

"Let's go over this thing again a few times, with quirks this time. I want to have it downpat for the Festival!" You tell him, taking your position and letting the towel fall just outside the circle. "Think ya're up for whatever this is? Not sure if it counts as sparring."

>"Alright, it makes sense. If you master that, it will almost certainly stop anyone relying on melee attacks who has to face you on the third round of the festival, whatever the one on one event may be." He says, taking a moment to stretch his neck and shoulders before entering the circle and facing you. "Although I have to admit, I expected you to suggest getting something to eat."

"Oh, we can do that after this." You tell him as you lower your stance again and prepare for some more training. "Ah reckon I'll need a hot cup of joe after this tussle… Anyhoo, you ready for this?"

Considering a second later a blunt tipped icicle flies at your face, you assume that he was, indeed, ready.

Luckily, so were you.

It's a weird experience, spending an hour evading attacks without retaliating.

Being used to take and return hits, you take the chance to consciously analyze what you are doing and how you are doing it.

As punches, kicks and the occasional icicle try to hit your legs, arms, and body, you start to leave the dodging to your instincts and muscle memory, focusing on your breathing and what you can tell of your own blood sugar level.

File: Shoto.jpg (50 KB, 501x700)

50 KB JPG

As you continue to shrink and return to normal, you can feel your guts protesting, a slight numbness all over your body and the stacking regular old tiredness, but beyond those warnings your body responds as well as it did after jumping off bed this morning.

It seems that keeping your head cool and your breath deep and steady kept your heart rate from accelerating too much. You aren't sure, but you think that all those factors combined allowed you to continue constantly using your quirk for longer than normal without blacking out.

By the end of your spar, you are vindicated in your assumption.

Sure, not a single strike nor ice shard touched you, but convection proved to be as much of a bitch as gravity, causing all the ice thrown around to give you goosebumps and leave you shivering anyway.

"...Y-you held back, didn't you?" You ask Shoto as you dig through your backpack for your tracksuit. "I've seen you i-instantly cover whole square y-yards in ice. Y-you did it to me last week!"

>"Yes. I figured resorting to attacks you cannot dodge would have been both pointless and disheartening." He answers, using the hot part of his quirk to warm himself and start melting the ice strewn around the room. "Doing so could have dissuaded you from improving on a good technique."

You shrug and put on your tracksuit anyway. The U.A. uniform is cute and all, but putting it on just after a sweat inducing workout is just a dumb idea.

With the cold under control, you then walk up to Shoto and grab his wrist.

"Now we go for something to eat!" You announce, bobbing in place. "I remember that nearby restaurant being quite good!"

>"It is." He assures you, then brings his free hand to his chin. "How odd. I just realized most of our conversations are either over lunch or in some kind of arena."

"Allow me to mix it up, then. We are going for dinner this time!" You tell him, as you drag him towards the door.

Like a good boy, he follows you through his home and out, till you stop smack-dab in the middle of the street. For about two whole minutes.

>"You do not recall where the shop is." Shoto suddenly says.

He wasn't asking. He just stated a fact.

"Nope." You instantly reply, sporting a sheepish smile and shaking your head.

>"...Follow me, then." He says, walking in what looks like a random direction with you in tow.

While Shoto doesn't exactly sprint, or power-walk, or moves in anyway that can't be described as a calm walk, you soon find yourself back on the bar of the small restaurant, loudly slurping a hot bowl of ramen next to him.

"I thought you prefered cold noodles?" You ask him after finishing your dish, while motioning for a refill.

>"I do." He answers, tentatively picking some noodles with his chopsticks. "I thought it was time to give the hot noodle dishes a chance."

It's an odd sentiment with an even weirder phrasing, but you can't blame someone for trying new stuff. Although you would have shamed him for not trying such a common fast food if he wasn't one of your closest friends.

As you wait for your second serving, an orange reflection on a pot makes you take notice of the time.

The sun is setting and you still are a long ways from Momma's house.

You jump to your feet and run the math, thinking about how, if you hurry and wolf down your plate without tasting any of it, you could run out to the station and get into the train, then run back to the house before Momma starts worrying…

But that'd be ditching Shoto.

Instead, you pull out your phone and text Momma.

"I'll get back late, don't worry." You send, intent on following it up with an explanation.

>"It's already late. Where are you? What are you doing?" Your mother replies in a barrage of texts before you can type your next message.

"At a restaurant, having dinner with Shoto." You quickly answer, before she can send any more questions.

This time, the answer takes minutes to arrive, making you check your bars.

>"Take as long as you need. But be careful on the train ride back and take a women-only cart if it's too late, hun." It reads.

"Will do." You send back before pocketing your phone once more, looking excitedly at your now refilled bowl and digging in.

You spend a couple of minutes slowly eating in companionable silence before you think of something to say.

"...has to face you on the third round of the festival, uh? You sounded mighty sure I'll get there, sugar." You say, pointing at him with your chopsticks.

>"If the last year's festival is any indication, the last round will be some sort of one on one combat between the last sixteen students." He explains, stirring what's left of his ramen. "Of those sixteen, let us say that twelve would be of the hero courses. Assuming that the two previous events test general performance and not any niches, and knowing that Class B lacks a second Recommended Student, I will make a conservative estimation and say that seven of those twelve will be from Class A."

He then takes a piece of beef with his chopsticks and brings it to his mouth before looking at you, as if asking for your opinion.

"...You have given a lot of thought to all of this, haven't ya?" You ask rhetorically. "I'll go out on a limb and say both of us should make it. Who do you think will be the other five? I'm thinking Momo, Fumikage, Mina, and Kirishima… Maybe Deku, but I'm not sure if he'll still have working limbs by that point. Why the seven-five split anyway?"

>"Yes, although the random nature of the events make any actual planning a useless endeavor." He answers after chewing. "About the split… since I know little about the B class, I assume they are, on average, as strong as our classmates. Otherwise, I would give more spots to our class, especially with the advantage gained by experience."

He then points back at you.

>"But you are right, mostly. Both of us along with Yaoyorozu are sure reach the third event, if only thanks to our sheer power and versatility. I am not sure about the other three, however, but Tokoyami and Kirishima are likely to follow." He continues "Midoriya will surely be there. I expect nothing less out of someone of his lineage, as will Bakugo, out of sheer competitive drive. Although I suspect you omitted him on purpose."

"Eh. I don't think about him all that much." You reply, waving your hand dismissively. "But I reckon we've never gone and talked with Deku about that. Shouldn't we, you know, confront him?"

>"No. We do not know how he might react to others knowing his secret." Shoto answers, shaking his head. "Right before the Festival starts, when he has no choice but going forwards. Only then should we corner him."

You bring your bowl to your mouth before replying, raising an eyebrow.

"You make it sound like we are going to break his legs." You joke, poking him in the ribs with your elbow before drinking your broth.

>"He does not need our help with that." Shoto points out, causing you to start laughing and blow out some soup out of your nose.

To his credit, he just gives you a couple of light pats on the back instead of a hard slam and making things worse.

"W-was that a joke?" You ask, looking at that slightly more pronounced upwards curve at the corners of his mouth.

>"Just an observation." He answers without dispelling his smile.

"Yeah, sure." You say, rolling your eyes. "Keep pullin' wool over your eyes if you want, but Ah know you are just hanging out and having a good time."

While his smile doesn't fade away, he looks down for a minute, making you think you had said something wrong. Again.

>"...I guess I am." He suddenly says. "I was not used to hanging out, yet you keep dragging me into social situations."

"I'm not apologizin' for being a friend." You tell him, crossing your arms. You frown at first, then just pout. "I mean… I think I'm doing a good job?"

It's not hard at all to believe that you could have fucked up at some point without realizing it.

He shakes his head and returns the hug.

>"I was not asking for an apology." He says, releasing you almost instantly from the hug. "I think I was thanking you."

"Ya think?" You ask, more incredulous than curious.

>"It is something new for me." He answers. "I like it so far."

"Don't tease me like that, then!" You tell him, giving him a soft punch in the shoulder and giggling a bit.

After dinner, you have a coffee and share a tray of taiyaki for dessert, doing smalltalk until you are… gently kicked out of the small restaurant, as the cook started to turn off lights and stack the chairs around you.

"I guess we should get moving... Let's split the bill?" You offer, taking out your wallet and pulling a couple of 1000¥ bills.

A small part of you wonders how long it'd take you to max that, but you flick the thought to the back of your mind, next to the wondering about what kind of heels would suit you better.

"Okay?.." You say, unsure of what to think about that. "Anyhoo, since when do we obey him? -cough- Cases in which he is in the same room notwithstanding. -cough-"

>"... We will pay half of the bill each." Shoto says, nodding.

"Sugar, I ate at least twice as much as you." You tell him, placing your bills on the counter.

>"I can always foot the bill." He says, pushing one of the bills at you.

You don't answer, opting to take the bill, mumble things that aren't words and blow some steam off your nose.

Even though the stars are… few, far between and dim… Damn, you miss the countryside...
Even though the stars are out when you come out of the restaurant, you don't regret a second of it. Both the food and the company were great, what else could you have asked for?

The only moment you feel a bit of apprehension is when, after returning to Shoto's home for your things and starting your trip back, a bunch of still-young-looking and drunk salarymen started to discreetly surround the bench you were waiting the train on, but the your train arrived before you had to find out what they were mumbling amongst themselves and if it pertained to you.

You are sure you could handle yourself, but getting into a fight would mean more paperwork, even if you didn't use your quirk.

So you quietly ride on the women-only cart, having to endure the company of drunk salarywomen instead. At least, they smelled less bad.

When you arrive to the house, you only have time to rinse out the sweat off you with a quick shower and then drop to bed.

The next morning you get ready and take the train as usual, checking the news on your phone. This Hero Killer is starting to prove himself a real threat to societ-

Then someone sits next to you.

You are rather surprised to see Daisy of all people taking a seat next to you.

...Especially with a third of the cart seats still free.

Even worse, a little bit of shifting on your seat tells you that he sat on a bit of your skirt as well.

So it's less like a surprise party and more like the stepping on dogshit kind of surprise.

>What do you do?

>[Ask him to mosey on. "Do you mind? There's plenty a seat and I was here first."]
>[Tug on your skirt to free it and change seats.]
>[Tug on your skirt to free it and stay there.]
>[Do nothing.]
>[Write in.]

>>2596329
Angrily/annoyedly ask him to politely get off our skirt. And what he wants. And ask if he’s going to keep being a dick, for an apology!

>>2596329
>>[Tug on your skirt to free it and stay there.]
>[Write in.]
I have a lot of experience with dicks trying to pull power moves on me. What do you want?

>>2596329
>Pardon, you’re sitting on my skirt.

We’re on the polite train until he fucks up again, remember guys? Let’s at least go through the motions that he might respond to etiquette.

>>2596329
>[Do nothing.]
>Write-In: Keep looking at the festival stuff try to see if you find something about the other competitions since Shoto was so sure that there would be a fight in the finals, maybe there is a way to know what we will be dealing next week.

He's trying to get a reaction from us, since we dumped his challenge during the party. Although it might be to out of character for Ushi to notice that.

>>2596352
>>2596346
>>2596343
Guys giving him a reaction is all that he wants to do. Remember? This is Bakugou's attemp in flirting.

>>2596366
Yeah, that seems reasonable enough, I guess. I’ll go with it instead of >>2596352

>>2596366
actually, change to this. from >>2596346
Ushi should know better than to let bullies get a rise from her.

>>2596329
>[Tug on your skirt to free it and change seats.]
>[Write in.]
"So eager to be in short shorts again, Daisy?"

>>2596374
Whoops meant
>[Tug on your skirt to free it and stay there.]

An error was pointed out to me, so here. The whole bit.

"I guess we should get moving... Let's split the bill?" You offer, taking out your wallet and pulling a couple of 1000¥ bills.

>"Father told me to not let you pay for anything." Shoto says, shaking his head and pulling out a black and gold credit card.

A small part of you wonders how long it'd take you to max that, but you flick the thought to the back of your mind, next to the wondering about what kind of heels would suit you better.

"Okay?.." You say, unsure of what to think about that. "Anyhoo, since when do we obey him? -cough- Cases in which he is in the same room notwithstanding. -cough-"

>Ask him about his weekend. Maybe he won't be a colossal asshole if you try to talk to him normally?

this >>2596385

You guys really expect Bakagou to not be a insufferable fucker? I guess hope is the last thing that dies. Hopefully if Bakagou is to much of a ass Iida can do his white knight stuff and protect Ushi.~

>>2596692
No, but we should give him a chance to not be.

>>2596692
More Iida interactions would be good

>>2596694
It's Bakagou he only fix his shit i
once deku decks him...although maybe us acidently decking him, make him realize earlier that he's isn't hot stuff.
