Getting accustomed to their new routine took some time.

Midoriya still had school to attend so while he was away, he gave them History and Literature textbooks to study. Once school was over, the boy would go train with a man named Toshinori before coming over to their place to spar. Then, they would rest for a bit before their tutoring session began.

During the process, they managed to confirm one thing. Time passed by relatively fast.

They weren't quite sure if it was due to being preoccupied or due to it working differently from their own universe, though they could only hope it was the latter. They still had a few months left until the entrance exam, meaning that they would be stuck here for at least that amount of time. It wouldn't bode well if the same amount of time passed in their universe.

What would the Agency feel? How would the Port Mafia respond?

Alas, those things were out of their control so they continued to follow their routine step by step instead.

"Don't you ever get tired, Midoriya? Coming here straight from training just to spar and tutor, and then making the journey back home? Wouldn't it be easier if we went over to your place instead?" Atsushi asked as he watched Midoriya mark his Algebra worksheet.

Who knew letters were involved in Maths? Certainly not Atsushi. Nor Akutagawa.

Midoriya froze, pausing his marking. Atsushi looked towards Akutagawa who was busy trying to integrate an equation, unaware. He then turned his gaze back towards the green-haired boy before him.

"You... want to come over to my place?" He asked, voice cracking.

That got Akutagawa's attention.

"Why wouldn't we? It's the least we could do after all the trouble you went through for us. That's what friends do, right?" Atsushi replied.

A tear slid down Midoriya's cheeks, alerting the two men.

"Friends," He whispered before breaking down, sobbing.

Atsushi immediately went to hug the boy while Akutagawa used Rashomon to get some tissues from the kitchen.

The silver haired boy wondered what mistake he made to have caused such a reaction as he continued patting the boy's hair, hoping that he would calm down.

"I'm sorry," Atsushi squeaked, panic evident in his voice.

"Don't be," Midoriya managed to get out, shaking his head and slowly pulling away from Atsushi.

The green haired boy smiled, though tears were still steadily streaming down his face. He accepted the tissue Rashomon offered and blew his nose, using the other ones to dab at his wet eyes.

"I'm just... so happy. You're one of my first friends in years," He said once he calmed down.

Atsushi may have known Midoriya for a few weeks but he would gladly murder someone for him, morals be damned. Sure, Midoriya probably wouldn't want that but hypothetically speaking, Atsushi would be willing. No questions asked.

The boy was by far the kindest person he'd ever met in all his years of living. Despite all the hardship he'd endured, he still had so much love and compassion for the society that shunned him, that had tried their damn hardest to break his spirit and his soul because they couldn't handle how brightly he shone.
