My Hero Academia: Relationship Pool

Chapter 102

"Hado!" Mirio said happily as she locked eyes on the two of us as she stood in the open elevator. "I thought you were going to be at a study group?" He said trying not to act too suspicious.

"Togata!" She looked at me excited. "Is this the Succubus first year?" Her eyes lit up and my heart sank.

"What?" I was barely able to breath. 

"Togata told me all about you!" She started bouncing around me checking out my body. "Is this what you really look like? Cause you go by having a transformation quirk right? So is this your real face? Or what about your hair? You definitely have to use your quirk on your hair! Mine never looks this good. Can you get STD's? Can you actually do your makeup like this, or is it your quirk too? Or are you just naturally this pretty? Probably just naturally look this good all the time, I mean Succubi are supposed to be incredibly alluring. Right Togata? Aren't they pretty?"

"Yes Hado, they are very pretty." Mirio said already knowing that I was about to panic.

I felt like the room was collapsing around me, why does she know about me?

"Y/n I can explain!" Mirio told me and he pulled Hado away from me to give me space, but I only wanted to use that space to run away. I turned before I could think, my own body trying to keep me safe while my brain shuts down. "No y/n please!" Mirio begged and ran in front of me. "I promise it's not what you think."

"Then what?" I asked, my voice shaking before I could realize I was shaking myself.

"Yes, I told Hado about you." He started with. "But I promise your secret is safe."

"Oh really?" I ask and gesture towards Hado. "You want me to believe that Ms. Chatterbox here will keep that secret?"

"Hey, I'm really good at keeping secrets!" Hado told me as she stood behind me and was touching some of my hair in her hand. "But Togata is right. You're safe here." She told me as she looked at me in the eye.

"And why should I believe that?" I ask her as she went back to checking to see if I had split ends. I don't.

"Because it was my idea to introduce you to Amajiki! Silly!" She giggled and I felt everything around me go still.

"What?" I asked and my chest expanded in a healthy way.

"Yeah." Mirio agreed. "I was hoping to tell you after your session with Tamaki. I didn't want to scare you."

"Yeah, good job." I told him sarcastically and he nodded knowing he deserved that one.

"It's okay sweetie you don't need to worry." Hado told me as her fingers were combing through my hair. "I have my own secrets too you know?"

"Oh really?" I tease as I turned more in her direction and crossed my arms.

"Yeah!" She said with a giant smile on her face and pulled a small bag of homemade cookies out of her sweater pocket. "Want a cookie?" She asked and opened it semi close to my face, and I couldn't even blink before I was hit by the smell of weed.

"You smoke?" I asked her, realizing she was much cooler than I had originally thought.

"No, I don't like how the smoke makes me feel." She said pulled a cookie out of the bag and started snacking on it. "But it's hard to feel bad while eating a cookie!"

"Wow." I said and took a closer whiff. "Man, Hanta would love these." 

"Hanta Sero?" Hado asked and offered me a small chunk of her cookie, so I didn't have to eat a whole one right now. "I knew he was a pot head!" She said excitedly. "I told you didn't I Togata?" 

"You sure did." Mirio laughed and rubbed the back of his head. "Y/n I'm sorry I didn't tell you ahead of time. And that I lied when we first met, about only me knowing. Your quirk was just something so different and interesting, and Hado loves exploring quirks . . . it just kind of slipped out without me thinking."

"And nobody else knows?" I questioned him, unsure how to truly feel.

"I promise I haven't told anyone else. Yet, I'll probably be explaining it to Tamaki, but that's later." Mirio spiraled for a second.

I looked down at the floor, trying to gather my thoughts and figure out if I should walk away from this. But this doesn't feel like before.

"I'm sorry I called you a chatterbox." I said to Hado after I took a breath, deciding to stay. I popped the chunk of cookie into my mouth, hoping that it'll help settle the rest of my nerves when it kicks in.

"Oh, it's fine." She said and held my hand to put her bag of cookies in it. "Here you take these and share them with your friend. My whole family eats these cookies, and I get a canister every week, just let me know if you guys want anymore. Hey, Togata do you think they would make good Christmas gifts this year?" She got suddenly distracted.

"I don't think that's a good idea if you're talking about the class." He said and placed his hand on my shoulder as I slipped the cookies into my cardigan pocket. "Now Hado, I should take y/n up to meet Tamaki."

"Oh, right!" She said and jogged to the front door. "I have to get to my study group. But let me know how the meeting goes!"

She left before we could say anything and me and Mirio stood in the common area alone. I let out a sigh, now that the panic situation was solved, and my heart could rest.

"Again y/n, I'm sorry." Mirio said as we walked back to the elevator. "I should have said something."

"It's okay." I told him and I leaned my back against the far wall of the elevator and Mirio stood next to me as the elevator moved us upward towards Amajiki's dorm room.

"Ace?" Mirio suddenly asked, talking about Hado.

"Yup." I confirmed.

"I knew it." Mirio said and I could see a little smirk on his face.

"Why didn't you just ask her if you've already talked about Amajiki's sex life?" I asked him.

"Honestly it felt weird." He told me. "She's like my little sister, so it didn't feel right to ask her."

"What about Amajiki?" I questioned. "Didn't you two know each other before Hado?"

"Yeah, we've been friends since grade school." Mirio told me. "He was there when my quirk manifested too. Boy that scared him good." He laughed. "But our relationship feels different. I wouldn't say he's like a brother to me, even though after all this time I would be happy to call him that. But really our friendship is one of the most precious things to me. It's why it took so long for me to actually go talk to you after Midoriya told me about your quirk. I don't want to ruin that. But I also can't help him if I don't try to get him out of his comfort zones every now and then, even if it makes things awkward for us, I always know where the line is."

"And what happens if he doesn't take this attempt well?" I asked him. 

"Then that will be on me." He told me with a smile. "I told you, you won't have to lift a finger about any of this. If things don't work out and for the worse, I will take full responsibility."

"I'll do my best to make sure he's as comfortable as possible." I told him and the elevator dinged as we landed on Amajiki's floor. 

"I believe you."
