While Izuku was excited for the business trip/vacation that The Dynamights and crew would be going on soon, there was still that lingering feeling that he had deep down within him, that uncomfortable feeling I'm his gut, chest, and head that kept him stuck in his depressing funk that he had going on.

But, he wasn't going to keep these feelings from letting him go on this once-in-a-lifetime trip. All these places he'd never been, all of the photo opportunities, he just had to go.

Under one condition. One that only he had promised himself. He'd keep his distance from the rest of the band, especially Katsuki. It was for the best right now, considering the thoughts he had been having.

Indeed, he wasn't purposely avoiding Katsuki but being around him was still difficult at times. It all felt like deja vu for him, reminding him of his high school days, only Katsuki was definitely much hotter than his previous crush, and way nicer too. Which in retrospect didn't help his situation at the very least.

Nevertheless, despite the difficulties, he still wanted to at least be around Katsuki. He was his closest friend, after all. And though his heart yearned for more, he knew it was better to keep a brick wall between that thought in his mind.

However, the bouquet Katsuki had given him made the foundation of the wall start to crack. Katsuki couldn't possibly know the meaning behind giving those flowers to someone, could he? Was it on purpose? Or just an accident and he simply did it all because Izuku said they were his favorites? The greenette couldn't figure out a plausible answer, and while Katsuki may have given possible hints of liking him back, could he just be reading into it too much just like he already had done once before?

Being in love is so different and scary. Izuku didn't like it one bit. He wished he could be the type to never fall in love, but he just wasn't born that way.

Luckily, he figured he wouldn't have to worry too much about his circumstances. After all, this was still a business trip so much so as it was a vacation. While everyone got to have their fun, The Dynamights still had an album to work on, so Izuku probably wouldn't be seeing Katsuki too much except for photoshoots and occasional breaks from recordings.

It'll be a fun, relaxing getaway.

Getting away from home.

Getting away from his depression.

And getting away from any forms of romantic feelings.

The first stop was to the beautiful, blue Isshiki Beach, with a small yacht waiting for them near the dock.

The yacht was Mitsuki's, allowing the band to borrow it for their music sessions when they weren't spending time enjoying themselves out in the sun and relaxing in the water.

It was no wonder swimsuits were a requirement on the packing list, however, Izuku had no intentions of going into the water. He still wore his trunks per request but kept his top covered with a light hoodie.

He made himself comfortable under an umbrella shade and beach chair, sitting back as he did some last-minute double-checking and tweaks on his camera, hoping to get a few good pictures of the beach while he was at it.
