Hope you're all okay and staying safe, please enjoy this chapter. I own nothing.

Momo looked at her best friend with disbelief, while Jirou tried snapping her finger in front of her; trying to snap her out of a trance.

"Yo Yaomomo, you there?"

Momo came too and looked at Jirou; who was concerned. "I-I don't mean any disrespect Kyoka but…Midoriya?"

Jirou tried to stop her jacks from going haywire "Yea I know it's a little out there" Jirou said while Momo listened to her.

"It's just, I know that we never really hung out with each other but since he helped me with my math's work, we've hung out a lot more, and during our training we found out we have a lot in common."

"Really; like what?" Momo asked surprisingly and Jirou smiled as she explained how they discovered they had more in common than they thought.

3 Weeks Ago

The pair of young heroes decided to change their normal place to train, to take advantage of a day off they decided to go to the beach.

After helping Jirou with her cardio Midoriya suggested that sparring would be a good idea, Jirou thought that sparring on sand was strange choice; but she learned that the sand would help quicken her movements in the long run.

During one of their breaks the pair sat on the sand; leaning against a wall to enjoy the shade and cool drinks. "How do you know so much about all this training stuff?"

Midoriya rubbed the back of his neck before answering "Well since my quirk only manifested when my body could handle the power, I had to come up with some new ways to train my body."

Jirou hummed with agreement and she began to think "So I guess your body didn't get used to it till recently otherwise your bones wouldn't have gotten broken when you first joined UA." Midoriya nodded but smiled because he was proud of what he achieved already.

The sun was starting to set, casting the pair in orange light. Midoriya enjoyed seeing the sunset but Jirou nudged his shoulder "I got a strange question for you."

Midoriya didn't know what she was going to ask but nodded giving her permission to ask it.

"Why did you want to become a hero, I know you're gonna be a great one but what's the reason?"

Midoriya blushed at the compliment but answered "All Might was always my reason; as shocking as that sounds." Jirou chuckled at the joke as Midoriya continued he reason.

"I always tried to help people no matter what, I even stood up for those who couldn't defend themselves; I tried to save people with a smile."

Jirou smiled before taking a calming breath "I was the same growing up, I always thought heroes cool and I wanted to be a hero that made people smile." Midoriya nodded saying he wanted to be hero that saved people with a smile so they knew everything would be okay.

The two were walking back to UA and as they were getting closer to the dorms Midoriya asked Jirou "Hey c-can I ask, what kind of m-music do you like?"

Jirou raised a brow and asked why he wanted to know "W-Well after we played each other's g-guilty pleasure songs, I just wondered what kinda music you liked."

A simple question though Jirou wasn't sure how to answer it "To be honest I like a lot of different music, mostly punk rock is my thing but I'll listen to hip-hop, jazz, metal and blues."

Midoriya nodded "I can't say I have a favorite genre I mostly listen to metal music when I'm working out, especially after researching it."

"Of course you'd research something like that." Jirou joking said making Midoriya chuckle "But I can't say I'm surprised, I mean you do like that cover of Rollin."

"Cover?" Midoriya asked Jirou confusingly who only nodded.

"Yea, you know when another band plays the same song." Jirou answered but Midoriya was still confused.

"That song wasn't a cover, it was by the original band from the Pre-Quirk Era." Jirou immediately stopped and looked at Midoriya who was caught off guard by Jirou's wide eyes.

'Beautiful' was the first thing Midoriya thought to himself but he didn't have time to wonder why he thought that as Jirou tried to get her head around what Midoriya told her.

"You're tell me, that song you played was by the original band!?" Jirou nearly shouted in surprise as Midoriya nodded.

"I did say I liked songs from the Pre-Quirk Era" Midoriya said while Jirou was getting closer to him.

"Yea but I thought you meant cover songs and remixes not the actual bands from that era; do you have more songs like that?" Jirou asked excitedly, when Midoriya nervously nodded Jirou immediately grabbed his hand and pulled him away "We're going back to the dorms and you're showing me all the Pre-Quirk Era music you have."

Midoriya had no choice but to agree and follow Jirou while they both blushed madly at basically holding hands; but they hated when they made it back to the dorm and they both let go of each other.

Current Time

Jirou was tapping her jacks together while Momo smiled "I had no idea you and Midoriya wanted to be similar heroes; making people smile, it's kinda sweet."

Momo though she could see steam coming out Jirou's ears because her face went extremely red. Jirou managed to calm herself down but Momo could see that Jirou was looking downcast.

The young hero knew what her best friend was thinking and before Momo could ask what was wrong Jirou spoke her mind.

"It's just he's so dedicated to being a hero and his drive is inspiring; but yet he can be so sweet and caring. I just don't think he'd want a girl like me."

Momo and Jirou had been close, in fact there friendship pretty much started at the entrance exam; since they were in the same group. Momo had never seen Jirou lacking this much self confidence 'or maybe she hid it really well.'

"Kyoka, look at me." The purple haired punk rocker looked at her wealthy best friend who only had a concerned look on her face.

"I don't know where this is coming from, but you're an amazing friend with an equally amazing heart; anybody would be lucky to have you. Izuku maybe many things but you could have a crush on worse guys." Momo said while rubbing her friends back; trying to help give her confidence.

Jirou smiled at the thought of her and Midoriya doing couple things; but she was still unsure. "What should I do though, I mean I do like him but how should I tell him?"

Momo began to think "I would suggest a small date or something of that notion, then perhaps trying to tell Midoriya your feelings towards him."

Jirou took the idea in consideration and nodded "I'm just not sure how Izuku feels."

Meanwhile

Izuku was laid in his bed trying to get his head around the fact that he has a crush on Jirou.

A groan escaped him as he put his pillow over his face, it wasn't the first time he had crushes on girls but back then he never pursued them; mostly because they didn't know who he was thanks to not having a quirk.

But now…he had everything he didn't have as a kid, but he couldn't help but think of was there any reason why someone as cool as Jirou would be romantically interested in a hero nerd like him?

A knock on his door brought Midoriya out of his down thoughts, after giving the knocker his blessings to enter Midoriya was surprised to see Todoroki walking in.

"Oh hey Todoroki what's up?" Midoriya greeted as Shoto nodded and sat down on Midoriya's computer chair.

"I'm fine, I heard through a news site about your trigger bust and I wanted to see if you were ok; especially after last time."

Midoriya nodded knowing that Todoroki was referring to the Yakuza raid. "Yea I'm fine it went pretty well thanks to Kyoka."

"Kyoka?" Todoroki asked confusingly while Midoriya sighed before explain he meant Jirou, Shoto could see Midoriya was looking depressed "What's wrong Midoriya?"

The thought of talking about his crush problems with Todoroki…wasn't very appealing, mostly because Shoto wasn't exactly social.

"I need some advice" but he didn't have much of a choice.

Todoroki listened as Midoriya explained his crush on Jirou "I just don't know what to do Todoroki, Jirou's so amazing and beautiful."

Todoroki raised a brow and asked "Then why can't you tell her that?" Midoriya ran a hand through his hair after Todoroki's question.

"Because she could have anybody she wants, so why would she a hero nerd like me?" Midoriya wiped his eyes so he could prevent tears from falling. Todoroki put a hand on a hand on his shoulder; catching Midoriya off guard.

"Midoriya you're a great friend with a golden heart, you've done so much for everyone in our class, it shows you would go above and beyond for the people you care about so don't sell yourself short." Todoroki said to a shocked Midoriya who wasn't expecting him to say something like that.

"T-Thanks Todoroki, I appreciate your honesty." Todoroki nodded and patted his shoulder and leaving Midoriya to his own thoughts.

The Next Day

Class was back in session for the students of 1-A, though Midoriya and Jirou did have to deal with their other classmates asking if they were ok.

The pair knew they were only asking because they cared; though Midoriya really didn't need Iida to shake him again.

Luckily for Midoriya and Jirou they didn't need long to catch up on any missed work.

"Thank God that's over" Uraraka said while her, Midoriya, Iida, Asui and Todoroki were walking to the cafeteria.

"While we should be used to this kind of school work by now, I can't help but agree with you Uraraka."

Asui croaked in agreement while Todoroki silently nodded. Midoriya smiled while he did enjoy hanging out with Jirou it was nice to reconnect with his own "Squad."

The group of friends got their meals and sat outside; enjoying the weather in the process. "Lunch Rush's food is so good" Midoriya said while Uraraka was slurping up her noodles.

"Indeed but we shouldn't expect anything else form a staff member of UA." Iida responded while Asui and Todoroki continued with their food.

After her talk with Yaoyorozu; Jirou decided that she was going to tell Midoriya that she likes him and she had an idea on how to do that.

After lunch Midoriya was walking back to the classroom but he felt the vibration of his phone.

Jirou – Hey Izuku can I come to your room after school? I wanna talk to you about something.

Midoriya had to re read the text to make sure he wasn't dreaming 'What would J-Kyoka wanna talk to me about' Midoriya thought to himself but put his phone away, as he walked into the classroom he and Jirou shared eye contact Midoriya nodded before taking his seat and pulling out his notebook; trying to act normal.

Later That Night

Try as he might Midoriya was still distracted by Jirou wanting to talk to him 'I could be that she wants more help on training or school work.' A knock on the door broke Midoriya out of his thoughts "Come in."

The door opened and Jirou walked in "Hey Izuku, I'm not interrupting anything am I?"

Midoriya shook his head as Jirou walked into the room and sat down on his bed, while Midoriya faced her on his deck chair.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Midoriya asked as Jirou sat down." Jirou was trying to figure out a way of how to ask him on a date; without out right asking him, then an idea came to her.

"I just I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me, so I was wondering if you wanted to get something to eat; to say thanks, just the two of us."

Midoriya felt his brain shut down for a minute 'Jirou asked ME out…kinda' just before Jirou stabbed him with her jacks Midoriya spoke "Yes!"

Jirou jumped back when Midoriya shouted, after clearing his throat "I mean yeah but you don't have too, it was fun to train and study together." Jirou smiled and after saying she enjoyed it too, she told Midoriya that she would get in touch on Friday about where they'll be going for dinner.

After leaving Jirou couldn't stop the blush that was on her face 'Ok so we'll have dinner and then I'll tell him."

Meanwhile Midoriya was freaking out about his first kinda date 'This could be my chance to tell her' he thought to himself before going to bed.

Friday was here and Midoriya and Jirou their "Date" was the only thing on the pairs minds, fortunately they were able to keep their focus during the training lessons.

Midoriya wasn't sure what to wear only Jirou said to go casual; but he did want to make a make a good impression, looking in the mirror he look himself over. Black short sleeve shirt, Blue jeans and some Black high tops instead of the trademark red high tops.

Jirou meanwhile was struggling with her own clothing choice; a Purple Deep Dope t-shirt, Black skinny jeans with shin high boots.

'Maybe this was a little too much' Jirou saw her phone flash and she saw a text from Midoriya.

Mini Might - H-Hey I've left the dorms I told Iida that I was going to have a meal with my mom, but I'll meet you at the train station.

They agreed that they wouldn't tell their classmates about what there plans were, so the decision was made that Midoriya would leave first and Jirou would follow later.

"Don't have time to change now" Jirou said before she started to make her way out of the dorms, on her way out she felt something patting her back. Jirou looked back to see Yaoyorozu smiling and nodding to her, Jirou nodded back before she left to meet up with Midoriya.

Jirou quickly left UA and met with Midoriya at the train station, they both blushed at the sight of the other. Midoriya asked which train they needed "The restaurants not that far away, we can easily walk there." Jirou then walked away from the station and Midoriya quickly ran next to her and with them both with smiles on their faces.

The walk to restaurant was a quiet one but they enjoyed each others company. Midoriya tried to keep his eyes off of Jirou but every time he did catch a glimpse he'd blush at how confident she looked as she walked next to him.

'S-She looks amazing…should I tell her, I still don't know how'

Jirou on the hand thanks to her quirk could hear Midoriya's heart beat; which made her blush no matter how much she tried to control it.

The pair arrived at the front of the restaurant and Midoriya was surprised that I was a restaurant that sold American style food. "How did you find this place Kyoka?"

Jirou shrugged "My dad's a part owner, he used go on tour in America and he said he loved the food, after one tour he put some money into this place. Mom would've killed him if it failed."

Midoriya chuckled and opened the door for Jirou to walked through; who blushed but appreciate the gesture as the door shut and when Midoriya caught a sent of the food his watered 'I hope it's a good as it smells.'

After Dinner

"Oh that was so good" Midoriya said as he and Jirou left the restaurant, Jirou smiled at his statement.

Jirou wasn't at all surprised by the standards of the food; she had been there a lot but what caught her off guard was how much of gentleman Midoriya was during lunch.

Jirou was surprised when Midoriya pulled out her chair for her and helped pushing her chair in, the conversations between the two was still easy as always.

The cheque came and Midoriya pulled out his wallet first, Jirou told him he wasn't paying but she smiled that was at least willing to pay half; but Jirou wouldn't take no for an answer.

The pair decided saw the time and decided to take a longer way back to the dorms when Jirou saw something out of the corner of her eye. "Hey it's a karaoke club, do you wanna go in."

Midoriya stopped but suddenly became nervous, Jirou noticed this and asked what was wrong. "I-It's just I'm not a v-very good singer."

Jirou raised an eyebrow "Neither am I Izuku."

"Y-You're an amazing singer, y-your voice is beautiful." Midoriya said while blushing and sending Jirou's jacks into haywire "So let's go back to the dorms, before it gets late-."

Midoriya was about to walk away but Jirou caught his arm and walked towards the karaoke club 'This could be my only chance' was the only thing in her head.

After paying the money to use the room for an hour (Midoriya again wanted to pay half the price; Jirou again saying it was her idea so she would pay) the pair found the room, it had a sofa, a small stage with the karaoke machine and the rooms were sound proof as well.

"I'm pretty sure Iida will be mad if we're late back to the dorms." Midoriya stated worryingly while Jirou looked over a drink menu.

"Does he ever take a break with his up tight attitude?"

"He means well, he just wants to make sure people achieve their full potential." Jirou shrugged as she ordered them some soda's.

Jirou looked at Midoriya who was almost shaking at the thought of singing so she knew she'd have to start.

Midoriya was brought out of his nervousness when he heard a drum beat and Jirou started to sing. Midoriya was captivated when he saw Jirou swaying to the music, the lights flashing around her and hearing her singing an upbeat song made his heart bump faster.

After Jirou was done she saw Midoriya slack jawed and applauding, though blushing she did have a smile on her face. "Your turn" Jirou said as she tossed the microphone to his chest, Midoriya fumbled but managed to catch it.

Midoriya was going to argue but the smirk on Jirou's face but a stop to the idea, with a sigh he got up and went to the machine to select a song.

After looking through the songs Midoriya wasn't sure what song to sing, he then noticed a slot the store his phone. "You ok Izuku?" Jirou asked but the sound of guitar riff and Midoriya was trying to rap to the song, though doing a good job Jirou knew he was still nervous 'I hope he comes out of his shell soon.'

The soda's came and they kept on singing, Jirou and Midoriya were laughing as they tried to do a duet but time was running out.

"Hey Kyoka" Midoriya said getting Jirou's attention "I just wanted to say thanks for bringing me out tonight; I had a lot of fun."

Jirou smiled "It's no problem at all…Izuku I have to be honest with you about something." Midoriya gave Jirou his full attention while she tried to figure out a way to say what's on her mind.

"I just, I wanted to bring you and say thanks for helping me with everything and making me a better hero."

Izuku smiled as Jirou continued "I'll be honest I think you're an amazing guy and I-I like you."

Jirou blushed and Midoriya was caught completely off guard but on the inside he was jumping for joy "K-Kyoka I like you too." Jirou looked at Midoriya who was smiling and she felt his hand in hers and the two slowly moved towards each other; lips meeting and the pair felt a spark but neither wanting to pull away.

After leaving the karaoke club the pair knew they had to make it back to the dorms; to at least avoid Aizawa and Iida's lecturing them.

"I still can't believe you want to be with me Kyoka, you could have anyone."

"And I want you, you're a great guy Izzy." Jirou replied as the two walked back hand in hand "Though I do think we shouldn't tell the others."

"Why?" Midoriya asked as they neared the dorms.

"Because this is what I'm assuming both our first relationship, so I'd rather we take this slowly and not have the others try and help in their own way."

Midoriya couldn't really argue against that "I'm not really comfortable with hiding things from our friends" he knew it was a hypothetical thing to say; especially since he's hiding his quirk from everyone but he still didn't like hiding things from his friends.

"I know you're not but it'll only be a short time, plus you do you really want Mina and Toru to tease you?" Jirou smirked and Midoriya nodded in agreement as they arrived at the dorms.

"Though the only person who knows I like you if Yaomomo and I know she'll keep it a secret."

"Todoroki knows too and I doubt he'll tell anyone." Jirou nodded as she walked through the door "Good night Midoriya" she said and power walked to the lift.

Midoriya decided to grab a drink from the fridge before calling it a night himself, though as he walked to his dorm room he couldn't help but smile; and he didn't want to stop.
