The sun was barely starting to set in the city of Jaku. Pink, milky clouds took over the sky, allowing rays of the sun to shine through. The scene looked like a painting, barely able to capture the essence with oil pastels. The entire city had an orange glow casted upon it. It looked like it came straight out of a storybook.

The beginning of your second semester at U.A. awaited you; it was your first day back on a normal schedule and you were already busy. You had plans to go out with Mirko on patrol as promised previously, but you also had tons of homework from your English class (which was taught by Present Mic). However, you couldn't ditch Mirko and miss out on your first patrol.

You confidently walked down the streets of Jaku in your hero costume, at the side of your Bunny Hero companion. Citizens that passed by couldn't help but notice the slight height difference between you and the woman, about two to four inches. It was odd seeing a teen be taller than a woman. You and Mirko found it hard to keep a serious facade on while out. You were both so talkative and loved spending every second together, it was hard to be silent and downbeat.

"Aizawa told me about little something happened last night." Mirko nudged your arm, sending you a smirk. Her long white hair swayed with every movement made by her, it was almost mesmerizing. "You and Endeavor's son got somethin' going on?"

You sighed, face palming to hide the embarrassment in your face. "Did he really have to tell you that?"

"You're not in trouble, (Y/N). You're only in trouble if Hawks finds out—be happy I put myself as the main number to call instead of him." She slapped your back, laughing at your abashed state. Everyone passing by watched in awe as the Number Five Pro-Hero strolled down the street so casually. It was unusual to see heroes not in a stressed state on a weekday. Mirko continued on with the conversation, wanting to dig deeper into your high school life. "So...what was his name? Tony?"

"Todoroki." You corrected, now looking forward to watch where you're walking.

"That's right! Wasn't he also the boy that visited you in the hospital?" You nodded in response to the question, too shy to actually form sentences. "Aw! That's so cute. Is he your boyfriend?"

"No!" You suddenly shouted, causing a few civilians to stare. You became aware of the disturbance, you whispered to Mirko who was eagerly listening, "I mean, no, he's not my boyfriend."

"So you two just happened to sneak out last night for ten minutes, did nothing, and then came back? You're not a very good liar, (Y/N)." You bashfully observed your surroundings, trying to avoid eye contact with Mirko at any cost. It was embarrassing to talk about Todoroki, you weren't ashamed of him, you just had a hard enough time expressing your emotions precisely. Mirko spoke, "I guess you'd rather me tell Hawks..."
