*Narrator's POV*
Deku had just got back from stopping a robbery, visiting Geoff, having dinner with the Wild, Wild Pussycats and Kota, and finally he ended up back in the dorms. He walks in, slugging his bag on his back and with dirt and grime all over his training clothes from his training in the forest.
"Good day, Midori?" Ashido teases seeing the disheveled form he was in.
"I guess you can say that." He says as he scratches the back of his neck. The girls were sat around the dining table, while some of the boys were sat around the tv playing some game.
"Midnight made an announcement," Asui said as Deku started ambling closer towards, "We have work studies starting from Tuesday, and we have training with some school in the area on Monday."
"Oh really, what school?"
"I think it was called Aldera high school or something." Hagakure replies, not looking up from her phone. Deku's eyes widened slightly. He pulls a slightly awkward face before coldly replying,
"Thanks for telling me." He says before turning for the stairs and heading to his room.
"That was weird," Yaoyorozu said, pushing her glasses up slightly and putting her book down.
"What do you mean?" Ashido said.
"He didn't seem so happy with what we just said." She clarifies.
"Did I say something wrong?" Hagakure asks, now finally putting her phone down.
"No, it was the mentioning of the name of the school, 'Aldera'." Ochaco says with concern in her eyes.
"Do you think he knows people who go to that school?"
"Maybe, he does know a lot of people." Yaoyorozu replies to the frog girl. All the girls, minus Ochaco, stared at her blankly. "What? Do you know how many times he gets recognized on the streets? And he seems to know half of the people as well." They looked to Ochaco for confirmation, and she nodded,
"She's right. I haven't been out with him one time where he didn't get recognized."
"Didn't realize I was friends with a celebrity." Ashido says while getting her phone back from her pocket. As the group continued talking, Ochaco grew more and more concerned, as did Momo. His response was cold, a side to him that none of them had seen. But as they were worrying, Bakugo had already headed up to check up on the greenette.
Bakugo doesn't bother knocking on the door, and as he enters, he sees Deku walk out of the bathroom while taking his blindfold off.
"What the hell were you doing in there with a blindfold?" he scowls while shooting him a confused look.
"Training." Deku replies bluntly.
"Training what?"
"My Force quirk. I'm trying to get it to work on water. I have the bathtub filled up with water and I'm trying to get it to move."
"Oh, right." There was a bit of silence, as the Ashy blonde desperately tried to find a way to bring up the topic he wanted. It was difficult for him, as he was a normally straightforward person. Or as most people called it, aggressive. But when it came to talking about his past with Deku, things got awkward. "Is it working?" he asks while also stalling time to think about bringing up 'Aldera'.
"Eh, not really." He says while scratching the back of his neck.
"Does the quirk even work with liquids?"
"It should do. The quirk description the sixth gave me was that it works on any non-living object. Granted, he himself never tried, but sometimes when I concentrate enough the water does move. So, I've tried using a blindfold so I can put even more of my concentration and brain power into sensing and moving the water."
"That's... cool."
"Cool?" the greenette repeats. Katsuki Bakugo using words like 'cool'. Specially to complement Deku. Something wasn't right. "Y'know I can sense there's something weighing on you." He says with a bit of a smile, amused by his friend's newfound awkwardness. Bakugo sighs deeply before sitting on his bed.
"We're... we're uhh, training... with the people from Aldera." He says quietly
"Yeah, I know, the girls said when I entered." There was a lot of awkward silence between the two, before Bakugo spoke up again.
"Are you... y'know, okay?"
"To be honest, I don't know. I guess we'll just have to see when the day comes. It'll be intersting to see which of our class actually ended up going to Hero school. Have you spoken to any of our old classmates?"
"No. I pretty much disregarded them the minute I left that stupid school." Bakugo replied. "I barely even remember their names."
"Well, I'm not really surprised by that." Deku replies. Despite being respected and feared by most people at Aldera, Bakugo didnt exactly have a two-way realtionship with his other peers. It was more like he was a leader of the school, and the rest of the school were working as his lackeys. "I wonder what happened to Yubel?" Deku asks with a finger to his thumbs. Thinking deeply about something before Bakugo retorted.
"Who?"
"The one who always followed you around." He still sported the same quizzical look.
"Long fingers. Shoulder legth hair." He nodded, now understanding. He shrugged, his answer was the same as before.
"No idea. Did... you keep in contact with anyone?" He nervously asks, twiddling his thumbs at the nervousness.
"Not really. The only person who my mom kept in contact with was Yume. But she hasnt spoken to me since we were six. I wonder if she knows that mom is dead."
"Right, yeah. Her. I don't know if she wanted to become a hero. I think... we may have beaten that dream out of her." He said ashamed of himself and his friends. He hadn't really thought about it. But Deku wasn't the only person who him and his 'friends' picked on. It's just that he got it the worst. The two conversed a little more about what to do come Monday morning, when there was a knock on the door.
"Oh, Iida. What's up, do you need something?" Deku greeted the blue haired boy who stood straight before the door.
"Midoriya, I have a message from Mr. Aizawa. He says he wants you to meet him in his office."
"Oh, right. I'll go see him now." Deku replies, wondering what Aizawa wanted to talk about. He quickly grabs a bag and his notebook before heading for the window. "I'll see you in a bit Kachan. Thanks Iida." He doesn't reply, but he does nod slightly before he starts leaving the room. "Close the door on your way out." The greenette shouted as he jumped out of the window and started running for Mr. Aizawa's office.
