Your POV

"That's easy for you to say..." Yaoyorozu held her hand close to her chest, doubting herself, "You can quickly adapt to any situation."

"Well then," You stopped in front of her and spread your arms wide, "How about we spar?"

"W-What?!" She exclaimed in disbelief.

"You heard me!" You moved to the side and motioned for her to keep going, "A friendly sparring match to test both of our quirks!"

"That's..." Yaoyorozu contemplated the idea for a moment, "That's not a bad idea."

"You can test how long you can withstand Cosmic Knight," You explained with a grin, "And I can test how truly adaptable Cosmic Knight really is. It's a win-win!"

Yaoyorozu laughed at your happiness and you couldn't help but feel butterflies in your stomach. It was good to hear her laugh again, knowing that it was true and not a looped fake.

'She's a keeper.' Nova busted into your thoughts, but the stand did it so often you were no longer startled by it.

'I know that much for sure.' You cleared your throat and continued walking beside Yaoyorozu to her house, and, to say she was wealthy seemed like an understatement.

You couldn't see the house entirely through the thicket of trees, but the gated entrance to her property seemed evident enough of the money her family had.

"Woah." You tried ducking your head to see if you could view the house in its entirety, "I knew you were rich but this is not what I was expecting. This is so cool!"

Yaoyorozu was shocked you weren't repulsed by her home and instead fascinated by it, but didn't say anything about it. She walked up to the gate and hit a buzzer to the side of it, the two cameras at the top of the pillars turning to scan you and her. There was a loud beep and the gates swung open, granting entrance. You peeked your head in, acting similarly to a cartoon as you entered her property much to Yaoyorozu's amusement.

"Why are you acting like this?" She questioned your antics, "You seem so... light-hearted about this."

"Why shouldn't I be?" You looked up to the sky, "Why be jealous of others when you can be happy for them? Why be envious when you can be proud? That's what I've learned. I don't like feeling gloomy and depressed, it's just not right to me. I was given a chance to look at life differently, and I took it. Now, I feel free."

You looked back to Yaoyorozu to see a hint of pink tugging at her cheeks. You gave her a soft smile and she quickly turned her head away, most likely trying to conceal the blush that was crawling up her face.

"I see that blush." You chuckled, "But let's get to that sparring match, shall we?"

"Yes, let's!" Yaoyorozu quickened her pace towards her house, making you sprint to catch up to her.

"My mother isn't home, so it's just us right now." Yaoyorozu advised you, "There are still cameras."

"Hmm?" You tilted your head in confusion, "I'm not going to do anything wrong. It's just a sparring match and then I'll be on my way."

Yaoyorozu sighed, she couldn't tell if you were being carefree or playing dumb. In your mind though, you were lost in innocent reverie. You were utterly untroubled. For once in all of your lives, not a single negative thought floated around in your head.

"The training room is two doors down on the left," Yaoyorozu pointed to a door that was slightly ajar, "I'll be there in a second!"

"Alright!" You merrily made your way over to the door, hearing Yaoyorozu giggle at your innocent humming and jovial walk.
