he loves me, I mean he doesn't outwardly show it. Me and Katsuki have been going steady for a year now, I met him through a mutual friend whilst me and her created our band; Ricochet Petals.

Oh my friend? She's Kyoka Jirou, we meet during middle school. She wasn't one for words but she was definitely popular.

The way we had our first interaction was when a group of kids were picking on me, for my quirk, Kyoka noticed and she threw a full soda can at the main one who was picking on me. She was just cool like that, you know?

Enough of that— I don't know why I'm going on such a big ramble about her, this story is about me and Katsuki.

When I enrolled in UA he was well his usual self, but it almost feel as if he softened around me, he wasn't very vocal and brash around me, he looked after me and cared for me. He would give me advice on how to better myself and how to make myself stronger, he's just inspiring to me.

I was getting ready for a group outing, I was going out with my lovely boyfriend and Kyoka, Mina, and Eijirou. Hanta and Denki had to cancel as Denki had greened out for the first time and Hanta had to look after him.

I looked at my full body mirror, admiring my outfit, I was wearing a black baggy sweater and baggy grey jeans. I put on my pink vans and smiled once more, fidgeting with my hair, trying to make it look presentable. I looked at the mirror and was watching my face, trying to make my best smile in it, practicing and rehearsing. Katsuki was out of my league, I knew that. Everyone did.

I shook my head and slapped my cheeks lightly, drawing myself away from my reflection and grappled my beige tote bag.

I walked out of my room to see my dad lazing on the couch, passed out. It was only five pm and the smell of booze was nauseating. I grimaced at the smell and walked towards the couch and grabbed the empty beer cans and placed them in the kitchen bin.

Old habits don't die out I guess.

I walked towards the door and took one more look at the couch, noticing he was unmoving, he was in a deep sleep.

I opened the door as quietly as I could, even though it creaked. I cringed at the sound and exited the house, closing the door softly behind me.

I made my way to the mall where we all had planned to meet up, although I was early the rest were already there at our signature waiting spot, a bench underneath a pretty tree that had leaves littered on the ground, indicating autumn had evidentially started.

"Couldn't you have dressed up, instead of looking like a dag?" Katsuki grumbled out, quickly standing up and turning away, a sign he normally showed when he was already at his limit and wants to get something over and done with.

I looked down at my clothes and patted it down, maybe I should've dressed up a bit more?

Kyoka bit the inside of her cheek at Katsuki's remark.

"I can't wait to find some cute clothes!" Mina squealed grabbing her boyfriend's hand and pulling him up off the bench.

"You could wear anything and it's look great minnie" Eijirou let out a low chuckle, standing up, his hands entwined with Mina's.

We all made our way into the shop, everyone buying what they wanted too.

"Why don't you get this, it's so up your alley" Kyoka giggled, grabbing a pink baby tee off of the rack and put it right against my chest, analysing how it would look if it was on my body.

"It's okay I don't need anything" I smiled softly at her and pushed the top away from my form.

"Oh shut up" Kyoka pulled the top away and made a beeline to the cash register.

"Kyoka what are you doing" I blurted out, following swiftly behind her. Holding my tote bag tightly.

Kyoka paid for it and turned around with the bag in her hand. "I don't mind, plus you'd absloutely rock this, you'd pull it off better than anyone" She grabbed my other hand and placed the bag in it.

"You know I can't pay you back" I slightly frowned at this action.

"Just think of it as an early birthday gift" she sent me a wink and walked off to join the others.

I stared down at the bag in my hand, and let out a tiny sigh, and quickly caught up with her.

The group was waiting outside of a food court.

"Dude all this shopping has got me beat, we should get some food" Eijirou chuckled, slumping down in the chair, Mina had a tendency to go to every single store, and without fail she's always buy something from one of them.

"F/N what are you getting" Mina asked me, smiling at me.

"Oh I'm not getting anything" I giggled, my leg bouncing as I stayed seated.

"Come on you should get something while we're out!" Eijirou spoke up, backing up his girlfriend, more so adding onto her question.

"She doesn't need it anyway" Katsuki grumbled out.

I could see Kyoka's face grimace at the remark and everyone else go silent, the looks that both Mina and Eijirou shared to one another.

"Yeah I need to stay lean for hero training" I spoke up softly, my voice being as silent as a mouse, but that was my usual. I didn't want to continue to make this awkward for everyone, I also didn't want to have others question my money situation either. I know Katsuki is looking out for me too, even if he doesn't know how to use the right words.

They all lined up at fast food place they wanted to get food for. I stayed seated at the table, the designated bag watcher, making sure no one came over to try and take our stuff.

They all came back one by one and sat back down at the table.

They were all giggling and eating their food, I felt someone nudge at my foot with their foot.

I turned to my left and see that Kyoka and slid over her fries. She smiled at me and nodded her head that it was okay to take them and how she didn't mind it.

I smiled at her, and took a bite.

Baby I'm a fool for you...
