Two days have passed since the attack on the USJ. The media has been showcasing the villain arrests on every outlet, portraying that All might stop the Nomu. For (Y/N)'s privacy, they kept his actions confidential. Unfortunately, it didn't stop some reporters from digging for more information. Speaking of (Y/N), he spent the past two days cooking and cleaning around the house, looking after Kuroko, and having back-to-back messages with Ashido after getting her number. Since his body needed time to heal, (Y/N) used his condition as a practice to increase the process of his ability. By the second day, his body fully heals with no repercussions as he's bathing Kuroko.

(Y/N): (Since the USJ attack, my body's been a wreck. If Recovery Girl and my power didn't pitch in, I would be bedridden at a local hospital. Glad my recovery rate improved with some rehabilitation.)

After lathering the pup's fur, (Y/N) looks at his fist while contemplating the power he used in the USJ.

(Y/N): (Yet it was my quirk that caused most of my injuries. That power, that red aura, was something else. It almost doesn't seem real how much strength it gave me. In the end, it almost destroyed my body from the inside. Could this be a side effect of pushing it beyond its limit? Are there still levels of strength I could achieve? If so, the)

But his thinking was cut off by Kuroko shaking to dry himself off after the aura user got sidetracked.

(Y/N): Really, Kuroko.

Kuroko only looked at him with a happy expression before (Y/N) sighed, knowing he'd think more about this later.

(Y/N): Okay, okay. I can spend the day thinking more after your bath. For now, let's dry off and get dinner ready.

Kuroko: Arf.

As soon as the two finished their bath, (Y/N) prepared dinner for the two and sat down to eat. He noticed he got a new message from Ashido with an attached link about the USJ and how they're blowing up every media outlet. Along with her wishing I recover well.

(Y/N): So they're relentless, as usual. * Looking at the contact* I still can't believe we exchanged contact information.

Thinking back on this comment, he realized they'd been texting each other for a while. At first, it started with a few check-ins to see if (Y/N) was okay until the two began having back-to-back conversations. He won't lie and say it wasn't nice to have someone check in on him a bit. But he went back to preparing the house, for tomorrow everything resumed as normal.

[Timeskip]

The day everyone returned to U.A. arrived. Everyone talked about how the USJ was all they were talking about and the new attention on them. As (Y/N) sat down, he felt a light tap on his arm.

Ashido: Heya (Y/N). How are you feeling?

(Y/N): Hey Ashido. My body is back to normal, so I should be okay. Looks like you're in a good mood.

Ashido: Uh-huh. Did you see the news? Everyone in our class was on T.V. We're still in school, yet famous.

Toru: Yeah! It's so cool that we all got some screen time. But I'm pretty sure no one noticed me.

Ojiro: Well, isn't it difficult to stand out when you're just a pair of gloves?

Kaminari: We're basically celebrities. Those news channels totally love us.

Jiro: Get real. The hero course that pumps out new heroes was attacked. And that's what they care about.

(Y/N): *Sigh* (Once again, they're battering people for ratings. At least they're not on the school grounds like last time.)
