{Izuku P.O.V.}

I opened my eyes and saw that I was still inside the small tank but I was in some kind of room. I looked around and noticed the boy from earlier and I swam over. I felt for the see-through roof but the was nothing there. I smiled and swam up, holding onto the side and I looked at him.

I reached out and pocked his cheek and he made a weird noise at me - I backed away startled and then went back over picking him again. His skin was so smooth and his ears were so small - how does he hear anything with those tiny things.

"He hasn't left your side once since you fell asleep." I jumped, retreating his hand as I saw Mitsuki enter the room with a tray. I jumped under the water and swam around in circles excited. "I see someone's hungry." She smiled throwing a fish at me. I jumped up and caught it in my mouth smiling happily as I began to eat.

"Thanks." I looked next to me and I had soaked the boy. 

"Oh, hush - Katsuki, he's just excited. And you needed a shower from earlier anyway." 

"Shut it old hag."

"What did you call me?!" Mitsuki yelled glaring at the boy she named Katusuki...

"Ka... Katsu..." I said trying to re-pronounce what she had said.

"Huh? He's trying to say your name Katsuki, he must really like you.

"Katsu!" I said looking at him with a smile.

"That's not my name." He huffed standing up and heading for the door.

"Don't be so cruel."

"Kacchan!" I yelled. He looked back at me with a sigh.

"Whatever." He walked out of the room and I pouted.

"Hey, it's okay. He's just tired. here." She passed me another fish and I took it eating slowly and then curling up under the water.

I opened my eyes and looked around the small room I was in, seeing Kacchan putting a shirt on.

"Kacchan?" He looked back at me and sighed.

"I see you settled for that name then... so, what's your name?" He asked coming over to me and crouching.

"Izuku Midoriya," I said looking at him then looking down remembering he can't understand me.

"Izuku huh? I'll call you Deku then. Not sure how the letters work in your native tongue but in Japanese, Izu can be read as De so I'll call you Deku as long as you call me Kacchan." He said standing up.

"Wait you understood me?" I asked grabbing his hand.

"I'm just as surprised as you are. I don't know how but I can understand you. Anyway, I've gotta go." He said slipping out of my grip. "Stay in the water, I'll be back when the big and little hands hit the twelve at the top of the clock." He said pointing at a thing on the wall.

"Okay." 

And with that, he left. I looked around confused and sighed. What am I supposed to do? I swam in a circle and then leant on the edge of the tank. I wonder what that is? I crawled out of the tank and crawled over to a desk seeing something on the side and picking it up. It looked like a person with blonde hair and bunny ears. Why's he so muscular? I bit it and then looked at it. What is it?

 I laid it on the floor and lifted myself up onto his bed and looked at this bear. I growled at it but it didn't respond I tapped it and it fell my face paling. Why is he keeping a dead bear?

I laid down in a ball and the sun hit my scales, I purred in the warmth and shut my eyes falling asleep on his bed.
