That Night..... (Izuku x Nejire)

Chapter 8: The Form

The next day at U.A high....

"No." Mr. Aizawa spoke.

I had come to see Mr. Aizawa 20 minutes before school officially started to speak to him about my partners.

"How come?" I asked.

"You already have two partners, you're wasting the third year's time otherwise." Mr. Aizawa informed me.

I had come to ask if I could have another partner for the Third year hero training program due to Sora being irritating and completely unhelpful.

"What if I know a third year who wants to do it?" 

"If you can do that, I'll sign this, no questions asked. With all the work they have to do I'll be surprised if they even consider it." he spoke, confident I wouldn't find someone to support me.

"Deal!" I exclaimed excitedly.

I extended my hand in order for him to shake it.

Mr. Aizawa out streched his hand and shook my own, creating a seal of trust between the two of us. 

We broke the handshake and Iida walked in, still quite early. 

"Why hello Midoriya!" he greeted.

"Hey Iida." I replied.

Iida took his seat and I exited the class in search of someone quite important. Nejire Hado, the girl who could change this experience completely if she said yes, which I'm pretty confident she will.

I wondered the halls, occasionally looking to my left and to my right down the extensive corridors as I made my way in the direction of the third year classrooms. The further I walked the more people there were chatting each other up. I passed several U.A students, each one looking older than the last until finally, I had reached the third year area. 

Anywhere I looked had a corridor leading somewhere different, it was like a maze. I decided it would be best to keep my path going forward and continued in that direction. Eyes were following me, I could tell. A first year in the third year area? I would stare at that too. It wasn't that I wasn't allowed here, it was just extremely rare for different year students to wonder into different years area's.

A tall third year bumped into me and knocked me to the floor. 

"Watch it, kid." the third year demanded.

"Sorry..." was the only response I could muster.

My eyes followed the guy who had pushed me to the floor. Perhaps it wasn't a great idea to be here. Mr. Aizawa must have known this. 

"Looks like you took quite a tumble." A feminine voice spoke as they reached their hand out to help me up.

I shifted my gaze back in front of me and was grateful to land my eyes on a friendly face. 

"Thanks, Hado." I smiled shyly as I took her hand. 

I wasn't prepared for how soft her hands would be and my heart responded accordingly, skipping a beat or two. After all, I was technically holding hands with a girl! She helped me to my feet and spoke.

"What brings you here, Midoriya?" Hado asked curiously.

"Oh uh, actually I was looking for you." 

"How come?"

"Well, u-um, as you know the partnerships are between the third years and first years, and I got you for the study part of it."

"Mhm."

"As it turns out, my mentor for the hero part has no interest in actually training me or helping me progress in anyway. So I was just thinking... maybe you would like to... teach me in that too?" I asked sheepishly.

A moment of silence passed. 

"That totally sucks! I'd love to give you a hand but, I can't help you out, Midoriya."

my heart sank.

"I wish it was that simple too but you can't switch partners for the study programme." 

"That's true but, I found a loop hole when speaking with Mr. Aizawa. You can have multiple partners if you get a formed signed." I say, pulling out the form and a pen.

She stared at it in thought, reading it carefully. She hesitated for a moment.

"I really don't know, Midoriya... I want to help you out and all but I don't think I have the time. Not only would I have to track your progress in both study opportunities, but I would also have to keep up with class work. Plus work studies are going to start again soon and its a lot to do at the same time." Nejire explained. 

I didn't want to make her uncomfortble, but I still needed to give this a shot, this is my only chance to get someone, who actually cares, to help me.

"I know it can be quite a lot... and I don't want to force you to do anything that you're not comfortable with, but I just really want to the same opportunity you had when you were in the first year. You're an amazing hero Hado and I want to excel just like you have in your years here at U.A." 

That must have really hit something deep within Hado as her eyes widened and she turned her gaze away from me to focus on her thoughts. She was holding her chin, clearly considering my offer. Perhaps I went too far...

"You're right." She spoke suddenly.

"I'll do it, even if it means I have to do more. I truly believe you have the will and power to do what it takes to become a great hero Midoriya. I'll go beyond, plus ultra!"

Hado pumped her fist in the air and a smile appeared onto my face. My nerves were buzzing with delight and my face couldn't help but grow a pinky shade of red. Was I blushing?! 

I quickly shook my head to refocus my mind. 

"You have no idea how much this means to me Hado, I can't thank you enough." I spoke gratefully.

"Happy to help, but I'm gonna' be pushing you to your limits so we can both make the most out of it, kay?" Hado informed me.

"Alright!" I cheered.

By now many of the people around us were staring at Hado and I. 

"Maybe it would be best if I get back to class. Cya later Hado." I waved at her as I walked away.

"Cya." She beamed back.
