TWO AIZAWAS

over & over, rio romeo

With all of the students gathering together in their classroom, the energy was higher than usual as the students got to talk about the excitement of being on the news from the USJ incident. Most of the class was already seated, chatting with their neighbors as Iida ran into the room, "Quiet down everyone and get in your seats!!!!"

Kirishima and the rest of the class looked at their energetic class representative, "You're the only one not in your seat!!"

Iida stiffened up, arms moving robotically as he made his way to his seat, "Oh..." He had rushed to class, being much later than usual yet still before class had begun. His house was full with business due to his older brother starting to focus on capturing one villain in particular. Iida was excited to see his brother focused on his work, fueling him to work harder to become an exemplary hero like the rest of his family.

Leaning back in her chair, Mina bumped into Asui's desk and asked her, "Hey, who do you think will be teaching homeroom today? Is Juniper stuck at the hospital still?"

The frog girl hummed a bit, thinking about what the other teachers had mentioned to them, "He might be back... I think his injuries weren't too severe. Kero, but I doubt Juniper would have recovered enough to make it today."

Just in time, the door to the classroom slid open to show Aizawa who still had his arm wrapped up, "Morning."

Behind him, someone dragged a leg while entering the room, head hanging and arms held out in front like a zombie. She groaned like the undead, her head still fully wrapped in bandages before lunging toward AOYAMA YUGA's desk. The poor french boy shrieked, holding his hand tightly to his chest as the girl broke out into laughter.

Aizawa boredly gestured toward the unhinged girl while looking at the boy in the back of the class, "Todoroki. Take care of her."

Following directions, the half and half boy got up from his seat and pulled the loony girl to the back of the class where her desk had been relocated. The class broke into noise upon recognizing the injured girl they didn't expect to attend class.

"JUNIPER IS THAT YOU?!?!?"

"Shouldn't you still be resting??"

"You don't look well enough for class... How are you going to pay attention?"

Juniper shrugged as she took her seat in the back, "Shoto here gets to take notes for me~ Plus I would rather be here than bored and alone at home." She slouched in the seat, resting her head on her arms while leaning toward the boy's cool side.

Aizawa cleared his throat, regaining the class' attention, "More importantly, your fight isn't over." Ever the dramatic person, he paused, giving the class just enough time to start panicking about the threat of more villains. "The UA sports festival is coming up in two weeks."

Replacing the class' anxiety, this brought excitement into the room as the class bustled about with ideas of making their big break at the main stage. Juniper let the cold take over the dull ache she felt in her head, not noticing how Shoto tensed up a bit at the reminder that he had to come out as number one.

His father was unhappy with his recent school reports regarding his placement against his classmates. Therefore, he was subject to harsher training regiments that resulted in Fuyumi taking care of Juniper after school. Shoto knew the importance of getting first place in the sport festival, to bring glory to the Todoroki family and meet his father's expectations. He had no time for relationships, and his father was drilling that point in his head, reminding him of why Shoto and Juniper were torn apart seven years ago.
