Chapter VII
No One POV

Izuku walked up to his apartment, fiddling with his key. This was quite the new experience. He had always lived with his mom, and Katsuki had practically lived with them after he and Izuku had mated, so getting an entire apartment to himself, well it was going to be weird. He got to his apartment door and sighed. He then pushed the key in the lock and twisted it hearing the lock click as it unlocked.

He then turned the door knob and opened the door. He stepped into the apartment to see a fully functional kitchen to his left, he could also see the living room from where he stood. He also saw an open door to his right, which led into a bathroom. He also saw two more doors, which when he opened them saw that one led to a small washer, and the other led to a small shoe closet.

He walked forward more to see one last door and opened it seeing a nice bedroom. He entered the bedroom and set his bag on the chair next to the bed. He then walked back out seeing all of his boxes in the living room, except for the ones that were labeled bathroom, and the one's labeled clothes. Those he discovered after wandering around for a little while were in the bathroom and in his spacious closet. He spent the rest of the day getting all of his things situated, after a while, plugging in his phone and playing music through his speaker.

All of the walls were sound proof as to respect everyone's privacy. This apartment complex was only for actors so everything was fully furnished, everything from toiletries to pillows. Although Izuku replaced most of them with the ones he had brought from home.

After a couple long hours of unpacking it was 5:30. Izuku was by now extremely hungry so he slipped on his white sneakers and grabbed his phone from the charger, and his key before slipping out of the apartment and started heading for the floor labeled, 'Dining Area'.

He stepped into the elevator and just when it was about to close he saw a person running towards the elevator. He quickly pressed the button to keep the doors open, and they reopened just as the person arrived at the elevator. She had black hair that just went past her shoulders. She quickly slipped into the elevator before turning to Izuku. "Thank you so much for holding that open." She said slightly out of breath. "Oh, it's no problem." Izuku said smiling at her. "Well still thank you, these elevators take forever to get to the different floors." She said as she brushed her hair out of her face. "Oh! We're headed to the same floor." She said looking at the button that was lit up.

Izuku didn't say anything feeling quite shy in front of the quite a bit older female. "What film are you here for?" She asked turning to Izuku as the doors opened and they both walked out. "Um, I think it was called The Evil Queen, it's been a while since I read the letter they sent me." Izuku said slipping his phone in his pocket and rubbing the back of his neck.

"Oh my gosh! That's the same film I'm here for, do you know what your role is?" She asked excitedly. Izuku shook his head. "They said in the letter that they needed to evaluate me before they decided since they've only seen me in my other films, and not actually in real life." Izuku explained as they walked into the large room with a bunch of tables scattered around. "Oh, well what's your name?" She asked leading Izuku over to a table. "Izuku Midoriya." He said taking a seat.

"Hana Sero, I am 19 and my quirk is Sticky Skin, I can peel off layers of my skin and it will become very sticky." She said with a smile. "I'm 15 and I'm quirkless." Izuku told her saying the last part quietly. He hadn't exactly had very many friends because of his quirkless stature before, and he afraid that Hana, who he had already started to take a liking to was going to not like him anymore because of that.

"That's so cool! That just means you've worked harder than anyone else to get here today." She said quite loudly. He smiled awkwardly. "I guess so." He said almost reluctantly. Just then a male walked over. "Hi baby, who's this?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around Hana's neck. "This is um, would you prefer to use your first or last name?" Hana asked turning her attention back to Izuku.

Izuku thought it for a second before glancing down at his hands seeing the promise ring. "Izuku is fine." He said with a small smile. The couple in front of him slightly reminded him of himself and Katsuki. "Okay then, well Alex this is Izuku, he's going to be in the same movie as me." She explained with a smile. "Well it's nice to meet you Izuku, my name's Alex and I am Hana's boyfriend." The blonde male said with a smile.

"Would you guys like me to grab us some dinner." Alex asked pulling away from Hana, standing up fully. "Sure, can you grab me some chicken and potatoes?" Hana asked. "Sure, would you like something Izuku?" Alex asked putting Izuku on the spot. Izuku froze up, his scent slightly leaking out of his scent patch alerting both of them of the panic coming off of the small male.

"Get him the same thing as me." Hana said saving Izuku. Alex nodded before walking away leaving Izuku and Hana to themselves. "Are you from Japan?" She asked after a minute of Izuku just staring at the table. He nodded to her question, feeling way too many emotions to talk. "Have you ever had an American meal?" She asked, getting up and sitting next to him. He shook his head looking up slightly.
"Well that's okay, I'll show you all the best foods, I'm originally from Japan too, I have a little brother around your age too, he's still in Japan though, only me and my older brother are here in America." She said starting to spark up conversation in hopes to get him to feel a little better. Izuku wanted to talk about his mate, but it brought a lump to his throat so he decided to not try and talk about it.

"My mom's back in Japan, it wasn't easy to leave." Izuku said as he started twisting his fingers together. "Oh, did anyone come with you?" She looked slightly concerned. "No, my mom had to stay to work, and well I don't have a dad or any siblings." He explained looking slightly sad. "Oh, well then you can consider me your big sister." Hana said kindly as she wrapped an arm around Izuku.
