Sincere Affection (Various!My Hero Academia x Reader)

The Gut Knows Best

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

The voice training went off without a hitch; there was only one instance of a couple of our classmates passing right by the closet, leading me to almost panic about them hearing my voice and getting ensnared in a trance. The only reason I even knew about them was (F/N) stopping me in the middle of trying out different tones of voice, before going straight over to the door, and opening it to talk to the students who had stopped outside in the hallway.

I didn't even know the identities of those students, since I was too busy panicking over the thought of messing up their minds before they had to take the practical. Accidentally making someone fail would make me feel so bad!

(F/N) managed to get them to leave, though, and said that it was good that my voice could be used through doors.

That only confirmed that I must have been doing something to their minds, which made me panic even more, and there was a pause in the voice training where (F/N) had to clarify that, while I was using my auditory Charm, it was actually pretty weak.

All I did was catch their attention and make them curious about what I was doing, so it wasn't anything big.

I just hoped their minds completely snapped out of it before they took the practical... unless they had already taken it.

All in all, I would say that a majority of that two hours of voice training was well-spent.

(F/N) and I discovered that a few different tones of voice were much stronger than others, and it seemed like my voice was under less constraints than my appearance, due to it being much more flexible than something physical; when put with the less-complex trance it puts people into, it was actually way easier to manage than my basic Charm.

The only real thing to worry about was how hard it was keep a constant flow of Quirk energy going into my voice.

It was almost funny, in a way; my always-active version of my Quirk was hard to manage and had a lot of minor stuff to deal with, while the simple version of my Quirk was hard to activate. It's almost like a cruel joke...

At the very least, I knew that, with some training, I could conquer this new ability of mine.

I was sure to put it to good use.

"-and I just told them that we were trying to find the most annoying, most irritating, most infuriating sound that one can make with their voice," (F/N) said, a smile on his face as we walked down the hallway, still trying to kill the time that we had before we had to go through our practical, "They asked why, of course, and I just said that, while my ears are sensitive when it comes to sounds, my dad's ears are even more sensitive, so we were hoping to use it against him."

I let out a small sound of understanding, nodding my head a little. "Wow, that actually sounds... plausible."

"Exactly." (F/N) made finger-guns with his hands, and pointed both of them at me. "And since he's... you know, my dad, I had a good feeling that everyone would believe that I would know exactly what we need to do against him."

Letting out a small hum, I glanced away from my best friend, and put a hand to my chin.

"...why do you think we were paired up with each other? And why do you think we're fighting your dad, of all people?"

"Well... Aizawa-sensei did mention interpersonal relationships as one of the factors for assigning teams, and, because we're best friends, I kinda assumed that had to have been the reason why." (F/N) had a smile on his face, though there was a look of thought mixed into it. "We work well together, with you always guiding me around and explaining things that I can't see to me, and with me being the emotional support who helps you navigate around social situations and other people."
