Izuku figured it was about time he went back out to take photos of nature once again. After all, it had been a while since he'd been hanging out with The Dynamights more ever since he was hired as their photographer.

Even on days he wasn't scheduled, he found himself heading over to the studio to watch the band practice for concerts, go over ideas for music videos, do lyric revisions, and so much more. He didn't imagine seeing all the behind-the-scenes besides the photoshoots, but Katsuki insisted on having him come over since the band wanted him around more often.

While it was nice, he missed being on his own out in nature. Then again, lately, all of his hotspots for his photoshoots have been taken over by various couples wanting spots for their dates. He didn't understand why it bothered him so much. Sure, he avoided people during his personal shoots as much as possible to not be bothered, as his social anxiety couldn't handle being around them when he wanted alone time out in the natural world, but seeing couples gave him a different feeling... One he couldn't quite explain.

Being out in nature was his way of making that feeling go away, but it didn't help when they invaded his space.

Izuku shook his head at the thought of thinking that way, as it seemed rather mean. They're just people enjoying one another's company. It's not their fault for the tornado-like feeling he gets in his stomach whenever he sees them.

But that wouldn't matter now, because Izuku wasn't out of photo spots. In fact, he knew just the place to lift his spirits.

There was a walking trail not too far from his apartment, however, he wouldn't be following the path. He knew of a track only the animals would take that not many knew about and probably no would would walk through as it seemed only joggers would talk the trail. So, Izuku stepped off the concrete and carefully got onto the grass.

The further one walked into the woods, there would be a small patch of land with beautiful flowers, trees, and various critters that lived within the area.

Luckily, his green hair and the apparel he decided to wear for this particular outing, helped to keep him blended with the surroundings to not disturb the wildlife around him, in hopes of getting really nice and authentic pictures of both the environment and the animals within it.

It took a bit of patience, but soon enough a beautiful black and green butterfly flew into his view, filling him with excitement as he gripped his camera and brought it up to his face, waiting for the perfect moment to get a clear shot of it's wing pattern.

However, something quickly threw him off.

Before he could get a picture of the green butterfly, another butterfly had entered the picture. It was much bigger and was decorated with orange wings. Sure, this meant Izuku struck gold by having two butterflies in one picture, but while being a photographer, he studied both animals, insects, and flowers so he knew what exactly he was taking a photo of, and right away he recognized the way the two butterflies had started to dance and circle one another.

It was a mating ritual!

He blushed and shook his head, internally deciding to go elsewhere down the trail.

A few minutes later, he heard a tune being sung by a bird, hoping to find where it was coming from and get a picture of it.

Quickly but carefully, he followed the melody and soon got closer, eventually finding the little green bird sitting on top of a tree branch that was singing the tune he had been hearing for the past few minutes. Izuku smiled at how cute and happy the bird looked singing its song as he grabbed his camera.
