Lenora never met her real parents and the family that adopted her died in a terrible accident, leaving her to grow up with the sweet old couple who lived next door, who were more than happy to have the little 6 years girl to raise.
Despite her new...

Another week passed and Lenora had just finished her training with Izuku when she realized what day that was. She was seated in the middle of the Gym, her phone in her hands and a half-empty water bottle beside her. Izuku was watching her from afar, not sure about what she was doing; he saw her typing something and then erased it, this situation going on five times.
"Len? Are you okay?", he tiptoed to her, slumping down behind her. A texting tab was opened on the screen, the name 'Edgeshot' above the chat. The texts in it were hella dry and fast, just news about the other person's health and nothing more. Placing his hands on her shoulders, he started giving her a massage, trying to ease up the tense state she was in.
"It's Edgeshot's birthday today," she relaxed under his touch, tapping her fingernails on the screen, "do you think it sounds pathetic if I text him? I mean, he's a serious man with solid principles, I don't know how he could see this."
Izuku kept working with his hands on her, his chin setting on her head, "Always overthinking. Just text him, Len. I bet he'll appreciate it."
Lenora felt stupid, "You know what? Fuck it, here it is!", she typed the text and pressed 'send' before she could second-thinking of it. Also, she had to move fast since All Might wanted to see the infamous 'unbreakable trio' in his office before dinner.
"Done! Now let's go, we both still have to shower!", Len leaned back, knocking off Izuku and rolling on the pavement with him. He tiredly sighed, his hand closing around Len's in a wave of affection. He wandered often about what would've been of him if he didn't have Lenora on his side during his hard times. The bullies, the bad moments that were exponentially more than the good ones – and all of them had Len inside –, the encounter with All Might. Would've been the same if Len wasn't with him?
No, surely not.
He knew he would feel something missing. Someone loving him selflessly and unconditionally like Len did. He might be able to enroll U.A. and become a Hero but his heart would've sensed it.
"Hey, what are you thinking so deeply?", she pocked his palm, smiling. Izuku shook his head, smiling back at her.
"You," he sincerely replied, "how much I'm lucky to have you."
Lenora dragged her body closer to his, crushing him in a hug, "I'm lucky to have you, too, 'Zuku!"
Chuckling, he closed his arms around her waist, "This is nice."
"Definitely."
"Disgusting", another voice added to the choir. Katsuki was leaning on the door frame, watching the friends being all lovey-dovey, still sweaty from their training.
Len rolled her eyes and raised her torso, "You meanie! Let us have our moment!"
He stepped inside the room with his hands deep down in his pockets, "I did, then your sweaty asses started hugging and I wanted to throw up."
