"What was that?"

"What was what?"

~~~

It was a surprisingly peaceful shopping trip for class 1A. Aizawa didn't trust leaving any of them alone together without adult supervision, so he took all of the class to the store.

He kept Bakugou on a child safety leash.

Aizawa was extremely surprised when they hadn't run into any villain attacks by the time they were walking back to school.

He was about to sigh in relief when a middle school looking boy burst out from the alleyway near them.

Aizawa instinctively used his quirk on him but was surprised when the boy didn't react.

What he noticed when he observed the boy was the bright red shoes he wore on his feet.

The same kind Izuku was wearing at the moment.

~~~

Izuku and the boy made eye contact before they both flickered their eyes over to their shared shoes.

Scaring the group, Izuku and the boy ran at each other.

They all tensed up, quirks at the ready in case this was a villain Izuku knew.

Their eye's widened in shock as they collided into a hug.

Izuku tightly cradled the boy.

"Name?" Izuku softly whispered.

"Akatani Mikumo," the black-haired boy replied.

They stayed in a hug for a few more moments as the class idled around them, not knowing what to do.

As they pulled apart, Izuku kept his hands firmly placed onto Akatani's shoulders.

"Does it get better?" He asked, looking Izuku in his bright green eyes.

Izuku stared back into the dulled rubies.

"It does."

Izuku gave one last squeeze to his shoulders before sending him off with his number.

Izuku looked at the boy's retreating figure with a saddened expression before he turned back to the class with a muted smile.

"Let's go home."

That night during dinner, Izuku hummed happily while everyone else stared at him awkwardly as he cooked.

Breathing in deeply, Uraraka decided to be brave.

"What was that?" She asked the boy, making him pause in his task and look back at her curiously.

"What was what?" He tilted his head like a lost puppy.

"That thing with the boy today," Uraraka pressed on, ignoring how cute he looked.

"Oh! Do you mean Akatani?" Izuku chirped, turning off the stove and moving the simmering pot onto a different space.

"Yeah! How do you know him?" Kaminari burst out, jumping up from his seat.

Izuku looked at the class, and they could see the way his happy aura drowned a little.

"We..." He looked off to the side with a melancholy smile, "have a special bond...That none of you could understand."

They were all about to protest, but as they saw the sorrow in his eyes, they decided not to press it.

"Now," he turned back to the stove.
