I sat back and relaxed while hearing my classmates argue over suggestion for the school festival. "Ahh, music to my ears." I sigh blowing a bubble with my gum.

~the next day~

"Surprise Shawty!" I greet Eri in the hospital.

 "Eri!" Izuku smiles at the girl, walking behind me with Mirio. 

"Sorry we couldn't come see you sooner, we had some work to do." He says. Mirio holds up a fruit basket for her, pulling up a chair and sitting in front of her bed. 

"I brought you Aquarius's girlfriend!" I exclaim holding up a blue/purple dragon plush. She grabs onto it, putting it right next to Aquarius. "That's Marina." 

"T-thank you.."   Mirio hands her and apple and we begin to make small talk. I feel very bad because she thinks this whole thing is her fault. But it isn't. Suddenly Izuku had an idea. He asked Mr. Aizawa if Eri could leave the hospital for a bit, to come to the school festival. 

Aizawa agrees while Eri listens to Mirio explain what a school festival.

A few days later, "Hey guys! We're back from work studies, what's going on?" I walk through the door with the other interns. I make my way over to Jiro. 

"We decided to do a concert type of thing. Where we perform in front of the whole school!" Mina excitedly says. I freeze in place.

 "What?" I might have forgotten to tell people I play instruments.

 "Do you play any instruments?" Momo asks. 

"I...*mumbles*." 

"What?" 

"I play all of them." I say, quietly.

 "I still can't hear you." 

"I play all of them!" I say loud enough for everyone to hear.

 "WHAT?!" they shout.

 "I play Woodwind, brass, stringed, and percussion. But I am NOT playing in front of people." 

"How did you learn to play all those instruments?" 

"My mom came from a music and instrument loving family, in the times my father wasn't giving me fighting lessons my mother would teach me all she knew. In primary school and middle school I joined in orchestra and band. But I was too good, so they put me in advanced classes." I explain.

"Would you want to play something for us?" 

"Well, actually a few months ago I recording me on my band instruments I play and put them all together." I went to my dorm and came back in a few seconds with my computer. And I pressed play (skip to 0:39-1:07)

"Combination of 66 parts and 25 instruments." I looked back at everyone's faces, they looked shocked.

 "That's pretty impressive." Denki mumbled, 

"You don't have to go on stage if you don't want to, Azusa. Your quirk is... pretty. You can join me and we can do special effects." Todoroki offers.

 "Thanks Todoroki!" While deciding on who should sing, a couple of boys had tried but were terrible. But when Jiro sang, whoo, she sounded like a goddess. 

"You have an amazing voice, Jiro!" I complimented. She happily-but embarrassingly thanks me and others, accepting to sing during the performance. 

Eventually everyone's positions were decided. I was on the effects team with Todoroki, Kirishima, and a few other boys, and I felt a bit more relieved. Even though I wanted to play some instruments, but I didn't wanna take attention away from the other people. In school they used to say I always took up the spotlight because I could play all instruments. 

"I'm glad I can work with you boys." I turn to my team and they nod. Kirishima plops his arm over me and Sero's shoulders. 

"Alright, we got a big day ahead of us tomorrow! Rest up everyone!" Iida rushes me and the others off to bed, reminding us to brush our teeth. 

"Hey, Azusa!" Izuku calls out to me. I whip around to face him. 

"Sup bruh?" Him and I.

 "Could we maybe talk?" He asks awkwardly. 

I nod, "Let's go to your room, it's closer." Bakugou walks from behind the two of us, glaring daggers at Izuku. The both of us notice this, grabbing onto Izuku rough hand I begin to walk faster and make it to his room. Closing his door, I limp over to a chair. "What's wrong?" 

Izuku twiddles with his fingers nervously, "A-ah well, I'm not trying to get into your private life but, I noticed you and Kacchan have been distant lately. And I wanted to make sure you two are okay.." 

I groan a bit. "No, something really weird happened a few nights ago..." Izuku takes a seat next to me. 

"If you want we can talk about it." 

I nod, "So basically when we came back from that big fight-he said he was worried about me, I hugged him, and then when I was pulling away he kissed me-for like five seconds?" I scratch my arms in embarrassment. "I didn't kiss back because I wasn't sure. Then he walked off..." I finish. 

Then look over at Izuku who eyes widen. I nudge him on the shoulder to get him out his trance. "You okay?" 

He coughs and shakes his head. "O-oh yeah, I'm okay. And, uh that's really awkward... maybe you should just leave him alone for a while until he decides to come to you?" He suggest nervously. 

I nod, "Yeah, I'm sure it'll be fine? Anyways I should leave. See you tomorrow." I give him a hug before walking out. 

(3rd POV)

When she shuts the door, Izuku clenches his fist in jealousy. 'He KISSED HER?!'  He nervously sits back on the bed. 'Do I even have a chance at this point?

"What should I do...?"
