Izuku was again contemplating past events as he changed into his hero suit. There was not much to do but let his mind wander as his arms and legs went on auto-pilot.
Besides, the boy had plenty to digest after his recent venture into Ryuko's office. It didn't help that his brain was only functioning at half-mast due to the lack of sleep and energy... That and his new fixation on calendar girl Ryuko.
'Looking at her is so distracting now. It was bad enough, to begin with...'
Thankfully, with roughly half of what was bogging down his mental faculties in another room, Izuku could finally process his thoughts... somewhat.
The vacation filled him with as much excitement as it did trepidation.
He didn't know how they would pull it off without people deducing they were unusually close.
At least Eri would appease everyone who knew about the girl's situation, but the general public was another matter entirely. Then there was what they would do once they got to wherever the heck it was they were going.
Even though the beach was Izuku's suggestion, he'd never done something like this before.
'What exactly do I bring? I mean, obviously, swimming trunks and spare clothes or something. But is there anything else...? And are we just going to be at some beach resort for 3 days, or will we do other things?'
The young hero sighed audibly.
Right now, as much as Izuku was fond of making plans and finding solutions, his mental capacity was just not up for it. That and further thought would inevitably lead him to start thinking of something he was desperately trying to subdue.
'Will she wear the bikini...? NOOO! Stop it! Stupid teenage hormones!!'
The young man tried to focus on something else. Desiring to maintain what little innocence he had left and not become more like the grape gremlin of 1-A.
Something that seemed tamer yet still got his attention... and that was how intensely Ryuko was staring at his hand earlier.
The freckled boy looked down at his formerly scarred hand. 'Was she only checking to see if Eri had caused me any problems? Or...?-'
Something then dawned on Izuku as his face turned a deep crimson.
'-She is still upset about what happened at the doorway when I knocked on her... NEVERMIND! I knew it! There is no way she could have been that ok with it! The mark probably gave some serious kickback or something as well! ARRGGH, I'M SO STUPID!!'
The embarrassed teenager frantically raked his hands through his hair.
