011 - a new dawn. 💗

ship: shōta aizawa + hizashi yamada.

The sun was barely rising over the horizon, casting a soft, golden glow over U.A. High's training grounds. The early morning chill hung in the air, but Shōta Aizawa didn't mind. He relished these quiet moments before the chaos of the day began. Ready and dressed in his training gear, he practiced his moves in solitude, the silence a comforting companion.

Aizawa's focus was broken by the sound of footsteps approaching. He turned, slightly annoyed, to see a familiar figure bounding towards him with a wide grin. Hizashi Yamada, or "Present Mic" as he liked to call himself, was the complete opposite of Aizawa in every way – loud, energetic, and always the life of the party.

"Yo, Aizawa!" Hizashi called out, his voice echoing across the empty grounds. "What's up?"

Aizawa sighed inwardly but nodded in acknowledgment. "Yamada. What are you doing up so early?"

Hizashi stopped a few feet away, still beaming. "Couldn't sleep. Thought I'd get some training in before classes. Saw you out here alone and figured I'd come say hi." He paused, looking around. "Can I join you?"

Aizawa raised an eyebrow, surprised by the request. He was used to training alone, preferring the solitude. But something in Hizashi's eager expression made him reconsider. "Sure. If you can keep up."

Hizashi's grin widened. "Oh, I can definitely keep up!"

They began their training session, Aizawa leading the way with his usual rigorous routine. Hizashi matched his pace, albeit with a bit more enthusiasm and a lot more chatter. At first, Aizawa found it distracting, but as the session went on, he started to appreciate Hizashi's energy. It was different, but not unwelcome.

After an hour of intense training, they took a break, sitting on the grass and catching their breath. Hizashi pulled out a water bottle, taking a long drink before glancing at Aizawa. "You know, you're pretty intense. But that's what makes you cool."

Aizawa snorted softly. "And you're pretty loud. But that's what makes you... you."

Hizashi laughed, the sound bright and infectious. "Guess we balance each other out, huh?"

Aizawa allowed a small smile to tug at the corners of his mouth. "Maybe."

They sat in comfortable silence for a few moments before Hizashi spoke again, his tone more serious. "Hey, Aizawa, thanks for letting me join you. I know you like your space, so it means a lot."

Aizawa glanced at him, surprised by the sincerity in his voice. "It's fine. It was... nice having you here."

Hizashi's grin returned, but it was softer this time. "You know, you should join me sometime too. I've got some pretty cool moves I could show you."

Aizawa rolled his eyes but couldn't hide the hint of amusement. "We'll see."

As the sun rose higher, casting a warm light over the training grounds, Aizawa realized that perhaps there was something to be said for having a training partner. Someone who could challenge him, keep him on his toes, and maybe even become a friend.

Hizashi stood up, extending a hand to help Aizawa to his feet. "Same time tomorrow?"

Aizawa took the offered hand, standing up with a nod. "Same time tomorrow."

As they walked back towards the school, side by side, Aizawa couldn't help but feel that this was the start of something good. Something that would change his life in ways he couldn't yet imagine.

And for once, he was looking forward to it.
