"I hope you don't mind, but I invited Toshinori over, hopefully, he can stay for dinner too," I say.

"That sounds lovely!" My mom smiles, it seems genuine. "I'll have the maids start cooking right away." She runs off to the kitchen, while I grab my bag and head upstairs to my room.ย 

I lay in bed thinking about the earlier events. My mother finally acknowledgingย my strength, yet still not completely satisfied with my quirklessness. I send Shouto my address before falling asleep.

I am woken by knocking at my door. "Miss Y/n." A maid calls from outside my door. "Come out," I call back. The door opens and a young woman with white hair and cat ears walks in. "You're mother wants you to wear this." She holds up a black and white dress. The top of the dress was white with ruffles and the bottom was simple and black with a bow on the back.ย 

"Thank you, Akina." I smile at the girl. She gently places the dress at the foot of my bed before excitedly sitting down next to me. "So...You got a boyfriend?!" She asks excitedly, grabbing my hands. My face turns red. "He's just a friend," I argue. "Well, even if he's just you're friend, I'm so proud of you. Growing up and making friends." She wipes a fake tear from her eye. I roll my eyes.

"Come. Let's get you dressed before your boyfriend arrives." She laughs as she takes my hands, pulling me off the bed. "I told you. He's just a friend." I pout. "Then why are your cheeks all red?" She teases, poking my cheek. "They aren't," I argue. She laughs, patting my head, "Whatever you say. Get changed and meet me downstairs." She leaves my room, closing the door behind her.

I get changed and make my way downstairs.

"You look beautiful Miss Y/n." Akina compliments. "Thanks, Akina." I smile. "Come, the guests are here." She takes my hand and brings me to the dining room. Akina opens the door for me, revealing my mother, Toshinori, and Shouto all sitting at one end of the table. My mother sits in the end, Toshinori on her left. Shouto sits on her right, one seat down.

I made my way over to the seat between Shouto and my mother. "Young Todoroki told me you needed to talk to me Y/n," Toshinori spoke. "Well I did, but not anymore. Still, I think it's nice to see you again, it's been so long." I smiled happily. "It's good to see you too. You've gotten so big." He chuckled.ย 

The maids began to place food on the table. Shouto leans over and whispers in my ear, "I didn't know your mother was the Number 5 hero." I gave a small laugh. "Yeah, sorry I never told you." "It's fine." He responds.

ย We begin to eat. "If you don't mind me asking, but how did you two meet?" Toshinori asks. "I'm curious as well. I can't imagine your father approving of this relationship, Todoroki." My mother adds in. "He doesn't know about it and I much rather prefer that Y/n never meets him," Shouto answers, resentment clear in his voice. His tone shocked me a bit. "We met at a park at the beginning of the week." He continued, his voice normal again.

"You haven't known each other for long, and you're already dating? It must have been love at first sight, huh?" My mother smirks. "How many times must I tell you?! We aren't dating!" I shouted, face red. Toshinori chuckles, as he and my mother exchange knowing looks. "Your face says otherwise." My mother teases me with a laugh.

"Toshinori, could you help me with something?" My mother asked seriously as we began to finish eating. "Sure." He responded, turning to face her.ย 

"I want to transfer Y/n into UA."
