Selfless for Selfish Reasons (My Hero Academia)

It appeared that Hizashi had taken it upon himself to inform Nemuri of the events that had transpired in the teacher's office, and once again Kyoura was forced into the R-rated hero's company. She held down the bile that had risen in her throat, the acidic taste beginning to burn when she heard the tinkling of Nemuri's handcuffs nearing her.

"It's been a while Nemuri." Kyoura spun around to face the woman.

Though Nemuri had gotten along very well with Hizashi, and somewhat decently with Shota, the two girls never really interacted. For a vast majority of Kyoura's time at U.A. she was alone with no one but herself and her own thoughts, until Shota found her. Subsequently, bringing her out into the open and introducing her to Hizashi and the other students of the hero course.

"A little birdy told me that-"

"You can cut to the chase, and it wasn't a little birdy," Kyoura cut her off. "It was an extremely loud, and occasionally annoying blond." A smirk graced her lips.

"Well, you're not wrong," Nemuri laughed, lightly tapping the top of Kyoura's head. "Although, that's not the reason I'm here."

"No, it isn't."

"It's about our favourite over sleeper, Shota darling." She stepped back, putting space between the two and threw her arms behind her head, a move that could only ever be needed to accentuate the chest.

"What about him?" Kyoura quirked a brow.

"You two started acting like an item again, and I didn't get to see it." She pouted, and Kyoura almost leaned back in surprise, she had expected something else. "You two were oh so cute, and I just love the cutest things!" She practically bounced.

"My apologies?" She tilted her head in confusion.

"Just make sure the next time you snuggle I'm there to see it." Nemuri waves a pointed finger at her, the handcuff tinkling musically.

"Right, I'll note that down." Kyoura nodded, avoiding the woman's eye and holding back her urge to puke. "Anyway, Nezu wished to speak to me, so I'll be off." She ducked under Nemuri's raised hand and trotted down the corridor.

Turning round a corner she stopped by the teachers office, which was, thankfully, empty, to take a breath mint in order to remove the smell of her potential breath. Clearing her head, and releasing several rattling breaths she headed to wards the principal's office. Not entirely sure why she was even being summoned.

As she had learned to expect, Nezu was seated comfortably on a lounge with a tea set hot and waiting for her. She took her seat opposite him and sat patiently in silence for him to start speaking. Which, he did so after draining half his cup and scolding her for not having touched hers.

"Forgive me, but I'm not one for tea or coffee." She pulled the cup away after taking a sip, the flavour was pleasant on her tongue but nothing she was particularly partial to.

"That's understandable, it's an acquired taste," he mused, swirling his cup.

"Are you going to now tell me why I'm here?" she asked, setting her cup down.

"Of course, now since I've noticed you've taken a liking to hero class 1-A," he started.

Her main duty was to teach the students in the hero course, though she had spent several lessons with class 1-B, it was clear which class she had to pay more attention to. Those in the lesser hero course were quicker to understand her teachings and for the most part, behaved better. 1-A on the other hand, were a little slower and she attuned that to their confidence for being placed in the highest ranking class.
