The pain in your side was still present, though less excruciating than it had been the last few days. Your recovery was going well enough. Even if you wished to repay your debts to society, you disliked being on the sidelines; it left you with nothing to do.

"(Y/n)!" The young girl whined. "I'm so bored!" You looked at her skeptically.

"And how do you suggest I help?" You wondered aloud, deciding to entertain the crazy blonde.

"We should go to the mall!" Toga exclaimed, enthusiasm dripping from her voice. You had nothing better to do.

"If you promise me you won't cause a scene," You sighed. "I'll go with you."

"I promise!" Toga cried, clapping her hands in excitement. You had a sneaking feeling that Toga was going to break that promise. Nevertheless, you saw no harm in joining the villain and acting like normal teenagers. It was a rare luxury you were thankful to partake in.

The shopping mall was busy, the crowds of people making you somewhat uncomfortable. Like waves from two different oceans, they went in all directions on the same paths. Toga's hysterical eyes caught sight of a cute skirt, dragging you along to try it on. You allowed Toga to venture on her own inside of the store, wandering around, waiting until something grabbed attention. You suddenly felt Toga tug on your sleeve.

"That cute boy is totally looking at you," She whispered to you. "He likes you!" You shook your head.

"I'm sure it's nothing," You told her seriously. You began to examine a pair of sunglasses on the display in front of you.

"He's coming this way!" Toga gasped before swiftly disappearing. You watched her duck behind a rack of clothing as someone approached. You were determined to ignore him until you heard him speak,

"I-I think those would great on you," He told you innocently. Recognizing his voice in an instant, you looked up to see Izuku standing there with a smile on his face. Your eyes darted down to the plastic sunglasses you were holding. With a small smirk, you put the sunglasses on.

"I was right," Izuku chuckled, making your heart skip a beat. It was a marvel that this boy could melt your heart with such ease. For so long, you had thought that small cold pit in your chest was dead, but he proved you wrong. Izuku proved you could still feel.

"What are you doing here?" You asked curiously.

"I'm here with some of my friends," He explained casually. "It was their idea, but I'm glad I came." The look of admiration in his eyes gave you butterflies. "They really want to meet you, actually!"

"You told them about me?" You asked and he nodded his head. You felt a warm feeling in your face. If he told his friends about you, that meant he wasn't embarrassed or ashamed to be with you. Was he proud to have you?

"I didn't tell you're ya know," Izuku hinted, rubbing the back of his neck. "But I told them that I... I really like you." You tried your best to suppress the grin his words produced, but you failed. Izuku liked that smile, he liked it a lot.

"Well, I... " You paused, finding the words somewhat difficult to speak, "I really like you too." The young hero laughed, unable to control the giddy feeling in his chest. For just a moment, you felt like a normal couple. Was that even what you were? A couple? Maybe, you weren't sure. The moment was short-lived, though.

The store alarm began to blare. Toga had just bolted out of the store covered in the clothing she had not paid for. You rolled your eyes, knowing you had to chase after her.
