Prologue: Dreaming...?

Dream (Drēm): a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep.

-ㅇㅅㅇ-

"Mmmm.. n?"

Where... am I? An alleyway? This is... what? How did I get in an alleyway? The last thing I remember is... right! I was reading at home and then... and then... and then what?

This is where it's normal to start panicking right?! I can panic now, yes?! I'm going to scream now.

"WHERE THE HELL AM I?!"

Ahem. Excuse that. I should probably figure out where I am so, time to get out of this alley.

Deciding on my immediate course of action I stood up and walked to the nearest end of the alleyway that opened up onto a main street. Once I got on the sidewalk I realized I still haven't the slightest clue as to where I am. Well, since I don't live very close to the main parts of the city and even then, I'm not recognizing anything around... I suppose this isn't anywhere near home.

The real question is how did I get here. Am I still just half asleep on my couch? Was I drugged and kidnapped?! Did I hit my head and forget everything between here and when I last remember?! Or is it some situation like in a light novel and I was transp- *BOOM* -holy shit what was that?!

"What the fuck was that?!"

Hm. Hmmmm...? Explosions in the middle of the city? No thanks. I'm going back through that alleyway to the other side. Away from the explosions. I am definitely nowhere near home. Even in the city home was relatively peaceful.

I see people running past me once I reach the road at the opposite end of the alleyway. Towards the explosions. Um. Are they okay? Like, in the head? I should probably stop one and ask... Yeah. I'll do that.

"Hey, old dude, why are you running towards the scary explosions?!"

"O-old dude?! I'm still in my 20s! Why are you not, kid? Don't you want to see the heroes?" The old dude yelled in something akin to exasperation.

"Heroes...? What are you talking about? Did you hit your head or something old man?"

"That's what I should be asking you kid. Ugh. Whatever, suit yourself, I'm going!" The old guy said, running off as he finished, having given up on explaining to me.

Heroes? What. Like, comic book heroes? Uhm. It's scary over there but now I'm curious... ugh. I suppose I could take a quick peek and run away if it's too dangerous.

So, I ran after the old dude. To the source of the explosions. What I saw befuddled me to no end. In fact, I thought I was dreaming. It looked like something out of 'The Avengers' or some shounen anime.

There was some kind of brown/green slime-type creature fighting against a bunch of dudes in outlandish outfits and... is that a giant? And it looks like there's a kid in the slime too.

"Huh?" I questioned to no one, as I watched the scene in front of me not quite believing my eyes.

What is this? Is this real life? Impossible. Nope. Not possible. I am most definitely dreaming. And then at the other end of the street I saw a kid with green hair run out of the crowd and throw his backpack at the slime. The heroes are yelling at him now too.

"Idiot! Stop! STOP!"

Well. I can't disagree with that but... he's braver than those dudes wearing spandex, that's for sure. As he got to the slime he started talking to the blonde boy in the slime and trying to pull it off of him. Though I couldn't hear what they were saying since it was so far away.

And then, when the slime went to hit the green-haired boy, there was an explosion. Ahh, they're covered in smoke, I can't see. Oh! it's clearing! Inside was a big blonde guy that looked like a body builder. Who proceeded to spray blood out of his mouth? Oy, big guy, you okay?

"DETROIT SMASH!"

He punched it after grabbing the arms of the boys. Holy crap his punch caused an explosion of wind. Ooooh. The giant girl is covering us. Yup. He's ok. Definitely not some dying dude that jumped in like an idiot. Hah. This is crazy.

The air pressure from his punch made clouds which made it rain? Ehhhhhh?! That's. Woah. The crowd began cheering like crazy, seeing that the situation had been resolved. Did I hear something about All Might somewhere in there? Dream. This is a dream. A very vivid one I'll give it that but, definitely a dream.

I guess I'll follow Izuku then. Just for fun until I wake up. Because that's who the kid that ran out has to be. I mean, it makes sense that I'd dream about Hero Academia when that's what I was reading before I fell asleep. So, I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.

It's... got to be a dream... right?

-ㅇㅅㅇ-

I waited for the heroes to stop scolding Izuku and then followed him from about a block back. I followed him for about 10 minutes, everything going peacefully until we reached a more suburban area. And then, the blonde boy from earlier stormed past me and started cussing at him... that's got to be Bakugo. Ah. That means All Might will be here in a minute! Ohhh this is so exciting!

Just after Bakugo left, stomping away from Izuku, All Might dashed around the corner and started his talk about how easy it was to get away from the press for he is All Migh- he deflated. Oh my god! It's so hard not to laugh! I clasped my hands around my mouth and hid around the corner of a fence so I could keep watching without giving myself away.

Izuku started crying when All Might told him he can be a hero. I want to go up and give him a hug so bad, but I should hold myself back! This is an important moment! Don't ruin it, me!

I wonder how long this dream will go on... Ohhhhhh, I hope there is a time skip so I can watch Izuku do the entrance exams! But how would I...? I would have to find a way to get access to the U.A. cameras so I can watch it from a safe distance. Yes, that sounds fun. Oh! I could put myself in Izuku and All Might's little circle somehow. I could~… yes! I could give bits of info from the future and say it's my Quirk or something right? Yeah, that sounds good. But a dream wouldn't last that long. Oh well. It was fun to think about anyways.

Actually, I wonder if I have a Quirk here. I'll think about it later. Because right now is the time for me to watch Izuku and All Might! Heeheehee.

Looks like All Might is already finished his suggestion of passing on One For All to Izuku. I can almost hear the epic music in the background. This is great. Ah. But now what? In the anime there was a two-day time skip so is that going to happen or am I just going to follow Izuku home? Oh, they're trading contact info! I'll just add these on my phone! I grabbed my phone from my pocket but when I looked at it, I realized that it wasn't mine! Hm? Hmmmm?! Wait. Back up for a second. I looked at my reflection on the phone. This... this isn't even my face! I do recognize it though. I can't think of the name off the top of my head but I know it was a character from Hero Academia... Oh well, maybe I can have some fun with this too! Now that they've separated and Izuku is heading back home I will move forward so I don't lose him.

I'll look through the phone and add their contact info while walking behind him. Heehee. Hopefully there isn't a password on this phone. There was a password, but it looked like a fingerprint password had been set. So, I can just unlock it that way, sweet! Now I'll just add their phone numbers and follow Izuku home! Once he gets home it's not like I can just go in though... I'll check my wallet and see if I can get some food and then find somewhere to sleep once he's home. I searched through my bag, pulling put my wallet once I found it and opening it up to find there was 50000 yen. How much is that again? Wasn't it something like put a decimal point behind the last two digits...? So, it's $500?! Why is she walking around with this much?! I wonder if there is an ID in here... Ah, here it is, 'Student ID: Toga Himiko'. *bump*

"Eh?"

"Why are you following me?" Izuku accused.

Oh. Crap. I bumped into Izuku! Um. What kind of explanation is good? I wonder if I could just pass it off as a coincidence? Maybe I should just tell hi-

"Ah. Um. I mean, you are... following me... right? If not I'm super sorry about that!" Izuku panicked upon thinking he made a mistake.

"Eh. Ah, no, you were right, I've been following you. Ever since that slime looking guy was beat up by All Might." I responded without thinking, giving myself away. Oops.

"Eh? Uhm. Ah. Eh?!" Izuku began sputtering once I confirmed his suspicions.

"I mean, you looked really cool when you rushed in ahead of the heroes like that." I clarified while looking up into the sky, tapping a finger on my chin. "Even though you didn't do anything." I added.

"Guh."

"I thought you were really brave there and you looked like fun so I wanted to follow you for a bit. And... because I don't really have anywhere to go. Ehehe." I rubbed the back of my head awkwardly while finishing off my explanation.

I panicked and just blurted it out but it sounds like a good enough excuse! Yes! That should be good enough! If this goes like a manga then with this, he'll invite me to stay at his house and then I can stay there. VICTORY! YES. Hopefully. I didn't really think this through did I. Shit. It's not like this is a manga so that wouldn't work, agh stupid me! Ah. But this is a dream. So, maybe it will work like that then? Hmmm? Nnn? Right?

"Ehh?! Uhm... I-if you want y-y-you could come b-back with me?" Izuku stuttered as he offered to have me come back with him.

"YES! YAHOO! I mean, yes. Please." I cheered animatedly before quickly controlling myself.

"O-okay. W-w-w-w-wait! S-s-since the slime... y-you mean, you heard e-e-e-everything A-a-a-ll Might said?!" Izuku stammered in shock.

"Yup!" I agreed.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!?" Izuku let out a scream in his surprise.

Haha. Oops. Oh well, it's not like it'll make much difference since it's just a dream anyways. We kept on walking back to Izuku's place. We didn't talk anymore though, he just kept mumbling to himself the whole way. I thought I heard something about 'I talked to a girl!' And 'What am I going to do?! All Might told me it was a secret'. It took about 20 minutes to arrive at Izuku's house. As we were about to enter he stopped and turned to face me.

"Um, I forgot to introduce myself before, but my name is Midoriya Izuku."

"Oh, right, I'm Toga Himiko." I responded. "According to this ID at least." I finished off mumbling to myself.

"Sorry, could you repeat that?" Izuku asked.

"Ah, I was just saying thank you for letting me come with you."

"Oh."

I completely forgot about introducing myself. Hehe. This dream is so nice, reminding me of things like that! He turned back to open the door and then he held it open while he waited for me to enter first. As I entered, I bent down to take off my shoes and then left them in the genkan, straitening up again to follow Izuku who had done the same.

"I'm home!" Izuku announced.

"Welcome home, Izuku!" She yelled back from somewhere further in the apartment.

"That's your mother I take it?"

"Ah, yes."

Hmhm. Izuku's mother entered the hallway and stopped when she saw me. She's just as cute looking as in the manga. Like a teddy bear you would hold while going to sleep. She's staring at me. Oh! Is this one of those events where the parent misunderstands and calls me his girlfriend? That would be pretty funny. Come on, do it. Do it!

"Izuku, who is your friend?" She questioned.

Awwww, too bad. I was really looking forward to his reaction too.

"T-this is Toga-san, she doesn't have anywhere to stay tonight and I told her it would be alright to stay here. It is okay, right, Mom?" Izuku explained while gesturing towards me.

"Of course! It's been so long since you brought a friend home!" She agreed happily, clapping her hands together before her chest.

"Thank you for letting me stay Midoriya-san, Izuku-chan!" I bowed slightly, giving my thanks.

"I-Izuku...chan?" He mumbled pointing at himself in confusion.

"Yeah! Because you're cute and small!"

"S-small..." He complained, slumping slightly.

"And cute! Also, is it okay if I borrow your bath?"

"Of course, make yourself at home Toga-chan, Izuku, why don't you go prepare the bath for her?"

"Ah, no that's okay Midoriya-san, I can do it myself."

"If that's what you want to do... I suppose I should go prepare some extra dinner." She stated, turning away to head to the kitchen and busy herself making extra food.

"Izuku-chan could you point out the bathroom for me?"

He nodded and took me to the bathroom then left me to my own devices. I guess I'll just take my time to relax and think in the bath here then. Ah, I should look at myself in the mirror! Examining myself in the mirror I tried to pick out all the details I could temporarily forgetting about my bath in the process. Hmm... Petite body with blonde hair which is styled into wild looking buns, along with straight bangs, the edges longer to frame my face. My eyes are yellow with the beginnings of dark bags and cat-like canine teeth. As for my clothing I'm wearing a sailor uniform with an oversized cardigan. Hmm. Hm? Isn't this that girl from the villain alliance? Ehhh?! Well. She is cute. Just something else that makes this dream so fun! Oh! And wasn't her Quirk to transform into whoever's blood she ingested. I hope I get a chance to use it before this dream ends. But then I'll lose all my clothes after I stop using the Quirk so maybe I won't.

Oh well, I should just relax in the bath for now. The downside of this dream being so vivid is that time seems to be moving so slowly. I feel exhausted, so a bath sounds perfect to rest and relax.

"Ahh, that was refreshing. But I have a serious problem. Mirror-kun, can you help me? No? That's too bad..." I pouted at the mirror in the bathroom holding the towel I had used to dry myself off.

I put my clothes in their washer before I got in the bath without thinking, and now I don't have any clothes. Shit. I wrap a towel around myself as the last line of defense. At least it's only in a dream so it's not the end of the world if he does accidentally see something... I left the bathroom and looked for the All Might sign on the outside of Izuku's door. Ah, found it.

"Uhm, excuse me, Izuku-chan!"

I heard him move around in his room so I guessed he was planning on opening the door for me. Wait. I won't let him do that!

"P-please don't open the door Izu-" I stammered, trying to prevent the inevitable awkwardsness.

He opened it. Oh! Wow his face is red. I didn't even think that it was humanly possible to go that red. I covered his eyes with my hands. He kept stuttering so I thought I shocked him speechless. I walked into his room while pushing him in and then I closed the door behind me.

"S-sorry Izuku-chan, I tried to warn you not to open the door. But since I've come this far already, I'll just ask my question anyways." I apologized. "Uhm. Could I borrow some of your clothes? Please? I forgot I didn't have my own change and put mine in your washing machine."

I feel like my face is on fire but there's nothing I can do about this anymore. I secured the towel at the top with one arm and pulled l it down as far as possible with the other after removing my hands from his face.

"T-t-t-t-t-t-t-toga-san, s-s-s-sorry" Izuku stuttered barely beginning to regain control of himself.

"Ah, no It's my fault so I should be the one apologizing. Sorry about all the trouble I've been causing you."

He turned around and walked over to his dresser. He pulled out a t-shirt and some shorts.

"H-h-h-here. You can wear these T-t-t-t-toga-san." He offered me the clothes with one hand while facing away from me. "I-I'll keep facing this way so please get c-c-changed q-quickly."

"Nn. Thank you, Izuku-chan."

I quickly took the clothes and pulled on the t-shirt over the towel. I then pulled on the shorts under the towel before removing it. I know he probably wouldn't look, but he's still a teenage boy so, I might as well be careful.

"Thanks, again, haha."

"Y-y-y-yeah, you're welcome. We should probably go eat now, Mom told me it was ready for when you got out of the bath."

"Alright! I'm starving I haven't eaten anything all day."

We headed to his living room and sat down at the dining table. She already set everything out so now I can just eat! It's nothing fancy but it looks good. There was a plate with fish, a huge bowl of salad and she had already served out rice into our bowls. Ohh! And is that miso soup I see? Mmmm. I'm practically drooling already. Miso is love, miso is life!

"Thanks for the meal, Midoriya-san!"

I didn't hesitate to start shoveling food down my throat. Izuku began looking at me funny, like, his eyes were super wide and the veins were extra pronounced. Oh, crap, don't laugh! Don't laugh. Guh. I laughed and now I'm choking. Oops. Izuku proceeded to hit my back to help dislodge the offending food. Ahh. That was... let's not do that again.

"You shouldn't eat so fast Toga-chan."

"Ahaha, I couldn't help it, I haven't eaten all day and then the face Izuku-chan was making was just too funny for me not to laugh."

"M-my face?"

"Yeah, that one where your eyes go all funny and you're sweating a lot but your face is frozen like a rock!" I explained.

"I-I see..."

"Mhmm! Oh... by the way, where can I sleep? I was hoping to go to bed early since today has been so long." I inquired while slightly blushing. "You could probably use it too, Izuku-chan, considering how eventful your day was, haha!" I rubbed the back of my head while laughing lightly.

Ahh... this has been a fun dream. But I should probably go wake up now. I mean, I read somewhere that in lucid dreams that you are unable to go to sleep. And I don't think it would be too big of a leap of logic that I should wake up if I go to sleep... It's too bad there wasn't a time skip though... Oh well. There's always next time.

"Oh, we have a guest room that you can use Toga-chan!" Izuku's Mom answered. "It's right next to Izuku's room, which has a sign with his name on it. I already prepared a futon while you were in the bath as well."

"Thank you so much for your hospitality, Midoriya-san!" I slightly bowed again to show my gratefulness.

I finished up eating and then took my dishes to the sink to wash them, quickly cleaning and drying them before placing them to the side where some other dishes had been left to dry. I thanked Izuku's Mom again before going to the guest room. As I entered, I looked around the room to find it very plain. There was almost no furniture other than the futon that she had laid out for me and a dresser next to the closet. Likely for longer term guests to place their clothes in. Oh! She brought my bag in here too. I completely forgot about it after leaving it by the front door. Mm, Now I'm curious! I suppose I'll take a look before going to sleep. Let's see... A bunch of notebooks, textbooks, and ugh, is this homework? No thanks! That's too bad... I was kind of hoping Toga's signature knife would be in here. Welp. Guess I'll go wake up now!

-ㅇㅅㅇ-

Hm. Hmhm. Hmmmm? It's already been 3 hours and I can't fall asleep... Oh! Maybe it's because I don't have a body pillow! I haven't slept without my body pillow in forever... but, it's not like they'll just have one laying around for me... maybe I could... yes! That could be fun, it'll be too bad I can't stay asleep to see his reaction though... Oh well... I've been wanting to give him a hug since I saw him crying in front of All Might anyways! I got up from the futon and left the room as quietly as I could. I took a left out the door and creeped up to Izuku's room which was right next to the one I was staying in. I slowly, slooooowly open his door and snuck in then took my time slooooowwwwwwllllyyyyy closing it. SLOWLY. And quietly too. Can't forget quietly. I tiptoed over to his bed and lifted the sheets and crawl in with him before wrapping myself around him. Ahhh. A warm body pillow is the best! I would've loved to see his reac-

"Nnnnnn... nn?"

"..."

"Toga-san?"

"This is a dream. Go back to sleep."

I whispered to him but there's no way that would work right? I'll just pretend to be asleep and he can take it as he will. I am getting rather sleepy... maybe he'll ignore me if I'm asleep and let me stay. Plus... once I fall asleep... I'll wake up so there... won't be any repercussions. Yeah... I'll go ... with... that...

"..."

"Zzzzzz..."

"I-I-is she asleep?!"

"Zzzz..."

"M-maybe I am just dreaming that she crawled into my bed..."

-ㅇㅅㅇ-

Every time I use the "haha" laugh I picture the character rubbing the back of their head while doing so. An awkwardish kind of laugh... haha.
