Friday had arrived quicker than usual. Many would dream and pray for the week to end and for Friday to finally come, as it meant it was the last day of work or school and the weekend was right around the corner.

Usually, Izuku would enjoy the sentiment of the weekend too, however, he was both excited and extremely nervous about meeting with his favorite boy band and the rest of the crew.

Apparently, today was just a practice run. They would go over his paperwork, come to an agreement, then do a practice photoshoot to test Izuku out with models and see how the crew feels about his work. So, he wasn't guaranteed the job quite yet, but Ochaco reassured him that the PR manager for The Dynamights believed he had a pretty good chance of getting the position.

But while Izuku tried to be optimistic, he couldn't help but think of the fact that the quality of his work probably wouldn't matter in whether he'd get this job or not. After all, their old photographer wasn't bad in his opinion, but they lost their job all because Katsuki didn't like them.

If that's all it takes to not get the position, then Izuku didn't think he stood a chance. It didn't matter if the music producer, Shota Aizawa, or the public relations manager, Mina Ashido, favored him. The ultimate decision was up to the band leader himself, and Izuku didn't think Katsuki Bakugo would take a liking to him at all.

With that in mind, he would have to try his best to stay on the blonde's good side. Firstly, he would need to keep his fanboying to a minimum. Hell, he should act like he wasn't a fan at all. Katsuki didn't like to interact with fans, especially the super excited and hyper ones, which Izuku could be sometimes.

There wasn't much Izuku could do about his looks. From what he knew, Katsuki wasn't the type to openly judge on appearances other than his bandmates, but everyone saw those more as pet names than insults since no one seems bothered by them. But, Izuku personally wouldn't want to be called 'shitty hair' by someone he admired.

The best scenario Izuku could think of was to just keep to himself, show up, do his job, not talk much or at all, and go home. The less of a bother he was, the better it would be for him and Katsuki.

Not only does he want to keep this job opportunity that he was somewhat forced into, but he'd like to keep a clear conscience that his idol at least didn't completely hate his guts.

The studio was pretty far from his apartment so he was left to take a taxi to get there, which meant more money will have to come out of his pockets just to get to and back from his job. He wasn't a stingy person but he wasn't the wealthiest either. He just preferred to watch his spending, especially with rent coming up, as well as all the upcoming Dynamights merchandise.

Compared to his apartment, the studio was in the center of the downtown area. It was a large, shiny jet black building with no signs to tell anyone that The Dynamights often worked here. It was most likely to keep fans from stalking the area, especially since Izuku had never known the location before.

Even the entrance was locked and required an employee key card, and since he didn't work there yet, he was instructed by Ashido to give her a call when he got there. The moment the phone started to ring, the door unlocked for him, being greeted by a pink-haired woman who Izuku knew to be none other than Mina Ashido.

"Wow, you're early! You must be eager to get started!" She widely smiled.

"H-How did you know I was here? You didn't even answer my call?" Izuku asked while sliding his phone back into his pocket, slightly shaken up by the sudden greeting.

"Security cameras. The moment you called I just checked them and you were right outside. Now, come in! Come in! Everyone's excited to meet you!" Ashido grabbed both of Izuku's hands and guided him inside the studio.
