Good news and bad news. Good news: school is over. Bad news: full-time summer job with evening shifts. Hopefully, this won't interfere with my updates.

A scary fact that I discovered. Jiro actually lives in the Shiosame Prefecture, the same district as Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki, and Tokoyami. A complete accident on my part when I first set up the story.

Just a warning. I will have a Food Wars cameo that won't play a part in the future story.

Weekend before internships...

Haru stood at the station gate, fidgeting as he glanced at his phone.

Today he wasn't wearing his usual school uniform. Instead, he was sporting slim fit army-green slacks, a thin black hoodie bearing a red spiral symbol on the front, and a pair of black lace-up boots. To finish the outfit he had picked a dark crimson leather jacket to wear over the hoodie.

"Haru!"

The young teen's head snapped up at the voice as Jiro ran into the station.

The dark-haired girl was wearing a black open-shoulder tee shirt, skinny jeans, a pair of knee-high boots, and a cream-colored cardigan to guard against rain-chilled air.

Jiro panted, a little flushed from her run, "Sorry I'm late. I forgot my phone and had to run back," she caught her breath, a look of relief on her face, "I'm glad I wasn't late for the next train

Haru was staring at her in a daze, "Y-yeah," his cheeks turned the color of his hair as he fixedly looked away from her, clearing his throat, "You look nice."

Jiro looked down, "Thank you."

There was a low ding over the station's intercom before it was announced that the train would be departing shortly.

Haru straightened up, his awkwardness forgotten, "We'd better hurry."

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her through the automatic check-in gates. Luckily their IC cards worked without a hitch. Within a couple of minutes, they were both seated on the train as it quickly made its departure.

Jiro leaned back in her seat, looking over at the redhead next to her, "So, where are we going?"

Haru turned to face her, "I have a couple of ideas, but since this is meant to your day, I thought I'd have you make the final decision..." his voice trailed off as, for once, he was completely unsure of what he was doing.

The girl smiled, feeling her nerves calm a bit at his sincerity, "Sound's great. I hope you'll be able to entertain me," she teased.

Haru's shyness disappeared as he sent her a competitive grin, "You'll be so entertained, you won't be satisfied by subpar attempts in the future."

Downtown Musutafu... Sumiredori Shopping District...

"Anything stand out to you?" Haru asked Jiro as they both walked down the busy streets.

Jiro's eyes were lit up, despite the rest of her face being expressionless, as she looked around at the many shops and recreational businesses lining both sides of the small shopping district, "Are you kidding me? I had no idea this even existed. It'll take me forever to pick a place."
