Fireflies

Chapter 1 - I Met a Fellow Insomniac

Y/N L/N was out watching the stars after a long day of Friday classes. Aizawa always has the hero courses busting their ass to be the best heroes they can be, but he doesn't know what the word "Break" is. Fortunately for the H/C girl, it was as clear as a clean crystal out so you could see each star in the sky. Her cellphone was playing a song off Spotify. Simply shuffling through the playlist she had chosen when she started her endeavor staring at the sky.

    Since Y/N had the music playing, she didn't hear the light as ever footsteps from the purple-haired insomniac of 1-C. Hitoshi was supposed to be sleeping over with Denki and the guys in his dorm in Hights Alliance, but since he was the last one up. He decided to take a quick walk to clear his head, only to stumble into his E/C eyes girl "friend". The two had become friends due to how they both felt like Villians. Hitoshi due to his quirk, and Y/n due to what her birth mother did to her. But the close contact along with being touch starved, he might have, kinda sorta, perhaps,... caught feelings really bad. But he was dead set on becoming a hero so that will wait, or so he thought.

    Y/N was softly singing along to the song playing on her phone, not knowing Hitoshi was there. The tired cat-loving boy was in awe. He knew that her sister S/N had to have singing lessons due to her quirk so Y/N picked up piano, but he had no idea she could sing. He would have gotten away with listening to her sing if he didn't knock over a pipe that he was leaning on and startle them both.

    "WHO THE HELL IS THERE!" The teen girl yelled, readying her quirk, mimic. Her quirk was from her birth mother, she could copy anybody's quirk as long as they had skin-on-skin contact, but only as much as her body can handle. Due to her extensive practice with her four older Dragon shifting pro hero brothers, her eyes slit into dragon-like E/C seas. Small yellow-y orange fires readying in her palms.

Startled Hitisho froze, "HEY N/N IT'S ME! IT'S SHINSO!" The purple-haired boy yelped raising his hands in the air to surrender, not ready to be singed. "Toshi?" Y/N asked, starting to visibly relax, the small fires going out, but her eyes still slit like a lizard's. "What the hell are you doing up! It's like... 2? Maybe 3 am? Whatever, It's dark out, what are you doing up?" She questioned. The rest of 1-A knew Y/N to be a little off sleep-wise from the others due to flying in from America halfway through the semester. "I couldn't sleep, Kaminari was sleep-talking about Ojiro's tail and I thought a walk could help clear my head. What are you doing here?" He answered, slowly lowering his hands. "I couldn't sleep either, It's like, two pm where I'm from, so I called my parents and decided to go stargazing," Y/N replied. "Looking at the stars reminds me of hanging out with my siblings, even though they're a pain in my ass" She laughed sadly and sat back down on her blanket. Hitoshi followed and sat down on a blanket, amused by the softer version of the Chaotic girl he seen during the first combined training exercise. "Do you miss them?" He asked softly, being an only child, he wouldn't know the chaos of having older or younger siblings. Y/N looked up at the stars and smiled "Every day, but don't tell them that-" She joked, gently shoving him.

    Nervously Y/N asked her friend, "Hey... Do you wanna see something?" "Uh...Sure I guess? Is it a hero move?" He tilted his head curiously. "More or less, just, watch okay?" He nodded and watched her stand up. Her eyes becoming more narrowed, her pupil only looked like a thin line against her E/C eyes. Her palms started to catch on fire, but not as fiery as before. This looked more like little fireflies dancing around her fingers. "My older brothers use to do this when I was scared. New homes do that, but I thought you'd like it" Y/N smiled a bit, closing her eyes to simply enjoy the warm feeling around her fingertips. Hitoshi didn't know she could call upon quirks, only mimic them to a certain degree. He just stared at the girl in front of him in shock. He thought she was just a little chaos gremlin who was there for fun, but she opened up to him a little and he saw a new side of her, and that 'Little" crush, grew a bit that moment.

    He smiled a bit and laughed "So, you're my little Lightning Bug now?" "No! I'm The Mimicking Hero CopyCat! Not some stupid LED Bug!" The feline heroine sassed at the insomniac. "Oh come on, You can be M'Lighting bug or My LadyBug~" Hitoshi snickered at the new nicknames he's going to torment Y/N with. Flustered and tired. "Oh come on, we better get inside before Mr. Aizawa sees us and gives us detention. I don't wanna be stuck in a room you for two hours after school" "Oh you love me Lightning Bug~ You'd kill to spend more time with me!~" Secretly thanking God that it was so dark out, so he didn't see her blush. She grabbed her blanket, flipping Hitoshi, then grabbing his arm and her phone, she walked back into the dorms.

    The duo of tired went back inside and ended up playing Nintendo Switch games the rest of the night, well, until Y/N Fell asleep on the poor guy and he just sat there awkwardly. Even waving to Fumikage as he went to get a glass of water. Slowly Hitoshi fell asleep, not really dreaming, but sleeping. Then as morning came, so did Aizawa and some of 1-A, Including Denki Kaminari, who asked for Hitoshi to sleepover at the dorms. Yeah, Y/N and Hitoshi were gonna end up in detention, whether they know it or not.
