~

It was the morning.

Your headphones covered your ears, the sky was gloomy and the streets were covered in puddles. You were walking beside the U.A Barrier, about to enter school as usual.

Until...

"What the...?"
You muttered.

Red wine had splashed your blazer and was
dripping all over your skirt and leggings.

"Hey watch where you're goin' dumbass! See?
Now my booze's spilled all over your fat-ass body!"
A stranger grumbled in frustration.

You took your headphones off and swiftly shoved them into your backpack. You had no intention of getting those expensive luxuries ruined today.

A strong smell of alcohol stung your nose.

'Drinking early in the morning huh.'
You thought to yourself.

You examined the stranger.

He had a now half empty glass bottle in his right hand, he was quite skinny and he stank of booze and smoke.

He had blonde hair (clearly dyed) and his ears were pierced with multiple silver earrings. Hands covered in numerous bulky rings; bloodshot red eyes,
obviously smoking.

His face was also red, he was wasted.

He wore a leather jacket, covering his dark-green uniform. The stranger looked to be in his final year of high school.

You knew that the only reason he was near U.A Academy was because of the nearby convenience store. In there they didn't only sell drinks and snacks, they also sold cigars and alcohol for cheap prices.

So many gangsters or teenagers were bound to
roam around the same street U.A Academy at night.

"...I'm sorry."
You mumbled, you made sure that your tone of voice had not even the slightest hint of anger in it.

The vibe this stranger gave you made you feel like he was in a cult. And you had no desires to get a beating today.

"What? Speak up b_tch! I can't hear a goddamn word your sayin'!"

"I-I'm sorry."
You repeated a bit louder.

"Pssh, sorry my ass."
The stranger grumbled.
"Be freakin' thankful that I'm a generous guy. Gotta learn to respect your sophomores useless slut. Hey,"

The stranger bended down to your height
to observe your uniform.

"Oh, you're a U.A kid. No wonder you're outside their huge ass barrier you shallow prick. Say, what course you in? Heroics?"

"General s-studies."

"Of course, useless trash like you ain't got no talent. Anyways, next time try to not be useless for once in your goddamn life and don't ever get in my way again. Got it ass hole?"

You nodded.

The stranger
turned around and walked off.
"Good. Pathetic b_tch."

He walked away and you curiously raised an eyebrow.

'Scary...thank god I didn't die...but what's his deal? Wasting his time drinking and getting high.

Does he know college exams exist in this universe? Gosh, why am I concern about him? It's ain't my life.

For now I've got to deal with this problem...ugh, it's too early in the morning for this kind of stuff to happen!'

Luckily it was pretty early in the morning,
so no one could witness your humiliation.

"____?"

You heard a familiar voice say behind you,
you turned around to see your boyfriend jogging up to you.

Your heart fluttered at the sight of him.

"Mornin' Tenya."
You smiled while pushing your glasses back up.

"Good morning ____!"
Tenya replied as he jogged closer to you.

"How coincidental to—
oh, ____ your uniform! And you reek of,"

"Alcohol, I know."
You grumbled while looking down to your
now stained blazer.

Tenya unhesitatingly placed his
bag down onto the ground,

"____ could you please take your blazer out?"
He asked while unbuttoning his.

"Sure."
You replied, curious with Tenya's actions.

You didn't question his actions since you knew that Tenya had good intentions.

You placed your backpack on the ground and took your blazer off.

Tenya then placed his one onto your shoulders.

"This should keep you warm for now."
He said.

"Thank you,"
You answered, a light fade of pink had spread across your face as you eyed his blazer.
"Oh. It's warm and it smells like you."

"Thank you?"
Tenya replied, putting on his bag.

"Don't worry it's a compliment, you smell nice."
You said while placing your wet blazer onto the ground and putting your arms through the sleeves of Tenya's huge blazer.

A love-struck smile had crept it's way onto your face.

Not only was it because of Tenya's kind actions, but also because of how very fine you thought Tenya looked in a collar shirt and red tie (his blazer usually covered the beautiful sight).

You then placed your backpack back on and held your freshly stained blazer in your left hand.

"Well, I can only do so much for your blazer. The skirt and leggings are a whole other situation."
Tenya said while putting his bag on.

"That's fine. I can go to the faculty office to ask if they have any spare clothes."

Tenya hesitated for a moment.
"Would it be too much trouble if...well, would...would you mind if I-I come with and accompany you?"

"Heck yeah you can!"

And just like that,
your and Tenya's hand intertwined once again.

——————————————————————————

"____,"

"Hmm?"

"Would you care to explain
why you smell like an underaged alcoholic?"

You laughed at Tenya's statement.
"Okay I'll tell you."

"Please do!"

"Okay, so before you came, some dude bumped into me and accidentally spilled his wine all over me. He then asked me what course I was in and gave me a short lecture about 'respecting my sophomores'. And he's pretty scary. He cussed a lot too."

"He cussed at you?"
Tenya gasped in disbelief, a hand hovering over his mouth.

"Yeah, not a big deal though."

"____ it is! It's a bad example;
Especially if he is a sophomore!"
Tenya's hand went up and down rapidly.

"Can't disagree."
You shrugged, nodding along.

"Did he call you any bad names?"

"A few common ones."

"My word,"
Tenya scowled in distress.
"May I ask for an example?"

"Pathetic female dog."

"____! That's absolutely crude of him! It's undoubtedly the treatment only a delinquent troublemaker would give to a young high schooler such as yourself!"

"I guess, but I don't care."
You shrugged.
"To be honest, I'm actually worried about him. If he's a sophomore that's drinking he's probably in his final year if high school. I feel bad that that dude is living his life like that.

Either way, I'm just glad he didn't beat me up!"

At that moment, Tenya felt surprised.

Most people would be furious or intimidated by that sort of manner/behaviour; and though you were scared, you kept a calm manner and even felt empathetic towards the stranger.

And you were being optimistic for crying out loud!

You had a very mature and
kind perspective if anyone asked Tenya.

Tenya personally felt himself falling deeper in love with you than before whenever he was with you.

"Well, did he at least apologise?"
Tenya asked, adjusting his glasses with his right hand

"No, and I wouldn't expect him to. Anyways, the dude is probably too stoned to properly function. Smoking pot and stuff."
You said while pretending to smoke with your fingers.

"Smoking pot?"

"Yeah, he reeked of cigarets. If I was blind I would've probably assumed that he was a human cigar."

Tenya laughed.

"Well, smoking is common and seen as trendy for teenagers and young adults."

"Can't disagree."

"____, since we're breaching out on this smoking topic, promise me you will not smoke.

Even when you're an adult. It is a dangerous hazard to one's lungs; you could suffer from lung cancer due to smoking as well."

"Oh trust me, I won't. I can't even handle the smell
of car smoke whenever I'm in the parking lot."

"I see. I'm glad you won't smoke in the future."
Tenya grinned at you.

You returned a nod to him with a smile.

——————————————————————————

You and a Tenya had reached the faculty office.

Both of you let go of each other's hand.
(Tenya was afraid of showing any sort of PDA in front of the teachers even though it wasn't against any school rules).

You opened the door to find that the only teachers inside were Midnight and Present Mic.

"Oh, good morning Iida and _____."
Midnight greeted cheerfully.

"GOOD MORNING EARLY BIRDS!"
Exclaimed Present Mic.

They were both seated at their desks.

"Good morning teachers!"
Tenya bowed.

"Mornin'."
You bowed too (but not as low as Tenya).

"What brings you two here so early in the morning?"
Midnight asked, looking back down to her magazine whereas Present Mic was sniffing the air.

"Wait a minute Midnight...I smell alcohol..."
He muttered with a skeptical look.

"Ahh yes Teacher Present Mic, that would be ____."
Tenya raised one of his hands up and gestured it at you.

"Yes sir, it's me."
You nodded with an unfazed smile.

"NO WAY!"
Present Mic denied.

"_____? Why would she smell like alcohol?"
Midnight asked, looking up from her magazine.

"Well, ____?"
Tenya said.

"Yea, uhh, I have a problem. Some would say an addiction."
You slowly explained, your index fingers rotating around each other in a circle.

"NO WAY!!"
Present Mic shouted as he fell out from his chair. He struggled to get up as he was shocked to the bone.

"____,"
Tenya whispered with a
'I-know-what-you're-going-to-do-don't-do-it' look on his face, covering the side of his mouth.

"I'm sorry!"
You whispered back, leaning closet to Tenya's ear.
"But please, just let me say one more line. It's not everyday I get to smell like alcohol; I can use this to my advantage!"

At that moment, Tenya felt his heart flutter.

Not at the fact that his girlfriend was about to prank his english teacher; but at the fact of how uplifting you were about the situation/looking at the bright side of things.

That was the first of many things Tenya loved about you, how uplifting you were. It was also Tenya's first impression of you when you both had first met, and he was right.

"Yes, sadly enough it's true. I'm sorry Mr Mic,"
You frowned.
"I'm an..."

You paused for a dramatic effect, inhaling the air deeply like the drama queen you were. You clenched your fist as you successfully shedded a fake tear.

"...Underaged alcoholic!"

"WHAAATTTTT?!"
Present Mic yelled in extreme shock.

Although his quirk wasn't activated, Present Mic's voice was genuinely loud (obviously).

Everybody in the room flinched at his shout,
Tenya quickly covered your ears (he thought Present Mic might've unknowingly used his quirk). You had dropped your beer-stained blazer onto the ground.

Midnight proceeded to karate chop Present Mic on his nape, getting him to stop shouting.

"Ow! Damn it Kayama,
sometimes I seriously forget how strong you are!"
Present Mic complained,
rubbing his now bruised nape.

"Sorry about that, he's being extra dramatic today."
Midnight sighed.

Tenya, completely blocking out the whole world and forgetting about not showing any PDA, looked down at you while removing his hands from your ears to cup your cheeks.
"Are you okay?"

You placed your hands onto his.
"Yeah, I think I'm fine. You?"

"I'm alright."
Tenya nodded at you, his lips forming a reassuring grin.

You and him then lookedover to Midnight and Present Mic, not moving your current position.

"Anyways, well done_____. You're acting has improved a lot. I can tell you've been practicing, I'm looking forward to seeing this kind of performance later on."
Midnight complimented you with a wink and a thumbs up.

"WHAT?! THAT WAS ACTING?!"

"Yes it was, goes to show how well I teach my students performing arts~!"
Midnight boasted with pride overflowing off of her.

While Midnight and Present Mic began a light-hearted argument, you picked your stained blazer up from the ground and looked over to Tenya with concern.

"Are you sure you're alright?
You don't have sensitive ears do you?"
You asked him, raising a brow.

"Trust me, I'm fine. Ever since I was a child, I unexpectedly had a high tolerance for loud noises. I still have it now."
Tenya smiled while rubbing away your fake tears.

"There's something you don't hear everyday,"
You chuckled.

As Tenya was about to reply you,
the door opened to reveal a very exhausted teacher.

"Mr Aizawa! Good morning!"
Tenya bowed, taking his hands off your cheeks and putting them by his side.

"Mornin' Mr Aizawa."
You casually bowed too.

"Iida, _____? What're you both doing in the faculty office? And why is there this alcohol stench in the air?"

"Yea, actually that's my stench your smelling."
You smiled, almost as if you were boasting.
"Some guy accidentally spilled his wine on me. Now I reek of booze."

"Accidentally spilled his wine on you?
Are you sure it was by accident?"

"Affirmative."

"Did he apologise?"

"Yeah."
You lied as Tenya eyed you.
"Hey, do you guys have any extra uniforms in here that I can wear until my stained ones dries after I wash it?"

"I think we have a bunch of spares, they're in the storage room."

"Ooh! _____, I'll take you there."
Midnight beamed, hopping over towards you.

"I'm currently the only faculty member here that has the key to the supply room!"
She whispered to you as she slung her arm around your shoulders.

Tenya backed away.

"Oh, sure."
You replied.

"Alright then! Eraser, could you be a dear and help Mic treat his new wound? And Iida, thank you for bringing ____ here."
Midnight said, walking over to the door and sliding it open.
"That was very responsible, good job!
But you should head back to class now and prepare for today's lessons."

"Ahh yes! Will do!"
Tenya happily agreed.

Midnight gave him a thumbs up before walking out.

"Here Tenya."
You placed your blazer on the ground again and took off Tenya's and handed it to him.

"Thank you for lending it to me."
You smiled.

"The pleasure's mine."
He grinned back.

"I'll get going now,"
You then quickly leaned into Tenya's ear and whispered,

"I'll call you tonight, bye my love."
Before grabbing your blazer and running off.

You were too shy to say it to him in front of your teachers.

Tenya was left with red cheeks and a dreamy grin.

"Hey Iida, you heard Midnight. You should get to class now. Our class needs their class rep."
Aizawa reminded Tenya while bringing out the first aid kid for a Present Mic.

"R-right Mr Aizawa!"
Tenya stuttered before going to his class.

———————————————————————————

As soon as you exited the faculty office, Midnight was nowhere to be seen outside the door.

"_____, I didn't know you like your man beefy."
Midnight said, slinging her right arm around you again from behind.

You jumped a bit.

Midnight had a smug look on her face.

"How come I wasn't informed that you had a boyfriend?"
She asked as she walked with you, arm still wrapped around you.

"I uhh, didn't think it was worth mentioning."
You shrugged with an awkward look on your face.
"H-How did you figure out?"

"You think I don't know young love when I see it?

It was so obvious!

The first names, you wearing his blazer, him covering your ears, the cheek cuppings, both of you looking out for each other's condition? Agh!"
Midnight dreamily sighed.

"But I have to admit,
you two are a seriously cute couple."
She smiled.

"Thanks."
You grinned.
"I'm surprised you weren't turned on."

"Turned on?"

"Yeah, you clearly seem to like youth interactions a lot."

"That's true, but your relationship with Tenya is more of an adorable one rather than a turn on for me.
By the way, how is it so far, the two of you?"

"Pretty darn good. I'm really enjoying this one, more than I should be."

"I'm glad to hear so!"

"What about you? Do you have a boyfriend too?"

You and Midnight ended up having
a fun girl-to-girl chat. Your bond with her definitely
had tightened and gotten stronger.

——————————————————————————

Turned out, there were no tights in the storage room so you ended up wearing a blazer one size bigger than your actual one, and a pair of boy leggings.

The pants were baggy so you ended up walking around school wearing that, waiting for your original uniform to dry.

You had fun too, you ended up yelling and rapping numerous quotes on stage like,

"A TAILOR SPYING ON DA' BRITISH GOVERNMENT! I TAKE DEIR' MEASUREMENTS INFORMATION AND DEN' I SMUGGLE IT!"

"YO, LET'S START A REVOLUTIONARY WAR."

You even pretended to be a rapper.

And in your opinion, that was an incredible day.
But the best part about it was, at home.

When you found a letter neatly placed in between your chemistry textbook and biology notebook.

'Who could it have come from?'
You stared at the envelope.

Who else?

Tenya on the other hand, after lunch, saw you running down the hall to the General Department while he was heading to the toilet with Midoriya.

As he was about to shout to you "NO RUNNING IN THE HALL!", he saw what you were wearing.

"Iida-kun, what's wrong?"
A very concerned Midoriya panicked.
"Your face has suddenly gone all red!"

"W-WAIT WHAT?!"
