Midoriya was rudely awakened at two early in the morning o'clock, he grabbed his phone, a group text with his number and others with only a single message, "We gotta do a sleepover to get prepped for the festival."

Midoriya silenced his phone, rolling over on his bed. He could smell his mom's cooking from the kitchen, the quiet humming echoed through the small apartment. Midoriya hated to admit this, but with the sudden pressure of becoming All Mights prodigee, he's become incredibly tired.

And it was an emotional tired, every morning it was getting harder to wake up. Every morning it's been harder to get up and smile, every morning it's been harder to face everyone.

Midoriya checked his phone, "Midoriya! What about you?" Was from Kirishima. Midoriya pulled his phone off the charger, typing a quick 'I'd love to.' even though he didn't want to. He finally got up, showering and dressing for the weekend, he walked out to the kitchen to his mother, her happy attitude boosting his own.

"Morning."

"Morning," She said cheerfully, her back to him as she pranced around the kitchen while cooking. She seemed really happy.

"I have another lesson with my school today, I'll be home in a while."

"Oh leaving already?" She asked dejectedly, her focus breaking for a second. Midoriya nodded, she sighed, waving goodbye as Midoriya slipped on shoes and left. He checked his phone, Kirishima and Kaminari get into a fight about when and where and if the girls should be invited as well.

Midoriya chuckled, they sure were an interesting group. Midoriya's walk to the school was mind-numbing, his head still hurt for some reason as he pushed inside the school. He hadn't really eaten properly for a while, but he didn't have much time to dwell when All Might suddenly burst through the recording room, "MIDORIYA!"

"Hey All Might," He looked terrible. A hangover and a terrible head cold mixed into one but All Might pushed through all of it and still smiled, he wrapped an arm around Midoriya, a laugh escaping his lips as they walked back from where Midoriya came from.

"I have a huge announcement!" All Might said excitedly, "We're gonna get you started on the music video before the festival if everyone knows then people from far and wide will come just to see you!"

"Is that a good idea? Aizawa and Nezu have asked me to keep this all under wraps."

"Yes, we've been talking about it but I think we're ready." All Might and Midoriya turned the corner, Nezu was standing in front of the doorway.

"Hello young Midoriya," Nezu greeted him, "I believe All Might has given you the rundown."

"Yeah...Are you guys sure about this?" Midoriya asked nervously, "I haven't really gotten any better. And so soon? I don't think I'm ready..."

"You're ready." All Might said with a smile, "You want to become the next big thing right?"

"Well, not so soon." He said, "Can't we wait?"

"Would you prefer that Midoriya?" Nezu asked, "Because you'll have to do an interview instead of a video."

"Yeah, I think I'd rather do that..." He could feel All Might's gaze beating into him.

"GOOD!" Midoriya jumped as All Might slapped his back with a laugh, "I'm excited to see how that turns out!"

"As am I," Nezu took Midoriya's wrist, "Come with me then, I'll handle your lesson today."

Todoroki woke up to the door slamming, "Shoto." His dad called, he sounded exhausted. Shoto sat up, rubbing his eye.
