You and the girls were changing to your training apparell while making small talk. They were practically teasing Uraraka for her crush on Deku. You couldn't help but laugh at her embarrassed expression with the other girls.

Maybe making friends isn't that bad afterall.

You got out of your changing room and walked outside, meeting your teacher and other classmates. You did basic training, like running and testing your strength. Everyone seemed impressed by your strenght and speed, though one kept looking at you with his stone cold face like he was analysing you.

While you were still training, you saw your other classmates use their quirks in different ways. You were amazed by the variety of quirks that were in front of you. So flashy and interesting. Aizawa stood next to you and put his hand on your head.

"Won't you join them?" he asked.

"I don't know. I'm afraid."

"Of what?"

"What if they think I'm dangerous, like everyone else?" you said while staring at your hands.

"Since when did you care about what others think?" he replied, though you didn't reply back. "There are different events in the sports festival, with some of them requiring cooperation with your teammates. You think you will be able to handle that?" he asked. "Yeah, think so." you said. "You will have a big advantage on the battle tournament though. Look forward to that." he said.

You started to feel slightly better. It wasn't your quirk or abilities that bothered you. Rather, the reactions from the people around you. You were indeed strong and well-trained. But what would people think as soon as they found out?

"And don't be afraid to show your quirk. You should be proud of yourself that you are able to indure and control it as well. It's a strong quirk, that not many people would be able to handle." he said as if he was trying to reassure you that everything would be fine. And he was right.

Some hours had passed and you finished training with your class, so you were free to go home. On your way there, you saw a familiar figure walking in front of you, so you decided to approach it.

"Hey."

"Huh? Are you following me or something?" he said.

"Or rather, it just happens that we live in the same neighborhood." you said and he scoffed. "Are you always like this?"

"Like what? I'm perfectly fine."

"Whatever you say." you replied. You continued walking closer to him, but he would always be two or three steps in front of you.

"Why are you hiding your quirk?"

Wow so blunt.

"I'm not hiding it. What's the point of explaining when you will eventually find out in some days. Besides, I like seeing people's expressions when they find out." you admitted with a smirk forming on your face.

"You must be pretty damn proud of your quirk then." he scoffed. "Better keep training though, because I'm going to win against our battle."

"We'll se about that." you said while patting his back.

"ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF ME YOU NERD?" he yelled.

You couldn't help but laugh at his facial expression.

"WHAT'S SO FUNNY HUH?" he added as small explosions started forming in his hands.

"I'm sorry. It's just that you make this funny face whenever you get angry. And it's kind of cute as well." you said while laughing in between every word.

He stopped walking for a moment, seeing you laugh. You couldn't see it, but a small blush formed on his face.
