[AIZAWA'S P.O.V.]

Ah, yes, the first day of the school year. 

Well, senior year for me.

As I walk to UA, I see many familiar faces, grinning happily on their trip to school. I don't really get why they're so happy today.

Actually, I don't really get why they're so happy any day. Usually people our age would be complaining about having to go attend class when they could be out having the time of their lives.

I guess they're good students. Who am I to judge? And who am I to complain.

I mean, I do love this school. No, love is a strong word. Like. I like this school. Yeah.

Its hard to describe my feelings towards it. Its a mix of bittersweet memories and nostalgia, since I now realize that I'll be leaving this place pretty soon.

Maybe I really do love this school.

While I was lost in thought, an arm landed on my shoulders. It was none other than Hizashi.

"Hey, shorty. What are you thinking about?" He smiled

"Its none of your business." I huffed "Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to tell you.."

"What is it?" He looked at me curiously

"Okay, well, first, it totally wasn't about you or anything." I said jokingly

"You were thinking about me? Aww, Shouta!" He laughed.

"No, dimwit." I couldn't help but snickered along with him. "I was thinking about how this year is our final year together.."

"Together?" He looked a bit surprised

"..at this Academy." I said "Let me finish."

"Right, right." His face turned a bit redder. What's up with this guy? He's even weirder than usual today.

"Don't you think we'll miss our time here when we leave? I mean, this is the world's top hero course academy. Nowhere else like it, inside and out." I said. "Ah, I'm feeling a bit nostalgic."

Hizashi stared at me for a while. "What is it? Do I have something on my face?" I asked as I wiped my face.

"Shouta, are you afraid of growing up?" He asked.

He had this earnest look on his face that I don't think I've ever seen before. I paused, scrambling for words.

"Of course not." I said

Suddenly, (and uncalled for), from afar, we heard the bell ring. 

Without thinking, we ran as fast as we could to our class.

"Hizashi, I blame you for this!" I said

"As long as I don't have to apologize like the other day!" He laughed.

We arrived in class just before the teacher was doing the usual morning roll call. Panting, and messed in sweat, we walked to our seats.

"Late on the first day? I expected more from you, Eraserhead and Present Mic." The teacher said.

"Sorry, sensei. Something came up." I said as an excuse. There was no time to be creative there.

"Now, without any further disturbances, let's proceed." He said.

I didn't really bother to listen to whoever else is in this class. All I know is, unfortunately, a guy named Hizashi Yamada was here with me.  And I don't think he's leaving anytime soon.

I don't think I hate him. I don't think I dislike him. It's just he's..

"Hizashi Yamada?" The teacher uttered.

"HEREEEE!!! YEAAAAHHHH!!!" He yelled. Everyone else in class laughed.

..so annoying.

Class went on as usual, and nothing really eventful happened. As time passes in almost an instant, recess came.

We all went to the dining hall. I didn't bother to wait in line to get food. I usually just go for the quick and easy solution; Juice pouches.

"Shouta you can't just drink juice pouches as a meal! It's not good for you!" Hizashi nagged.

"You're not the boss of me. A juice pouch is every man's best friend." I said

"No its not, Shouta, don't be silly." He laughed. He took a portion of his meal and held it to my mouth. "Here. Eat."

"No, thanks." I said

"Yummy yummy rice. Eat. It's really good." He asserted.

"Hizashi, stop it. This is getting embarrassing." I said turning my head away from him, as a sign of refusal.

"It's really good. Trust me." He grinned

"I don't care if it's good or not. I'm not eating." I said

"Shouta!! Eat!!" He yelled

The whole dining hall was all eyes on us. I slammed my head onto the table in frustration. "Why are you like this." 

"I'll yell again if you don't eat this." He threatened

"Are you.. threatening me?" I asked in disbelief

He nodded furiously. "Please eat."

I was sort of embarrassed realizing that he cares for my eating habits that much to even threaten me about it. How.. sweet? No, I don't know.

I reluctantly took the portion into my mouth. Some people near us started giggling. 

Confused, I turned to face them. They were two girls, seemingly juniors. "Got a problem, ladies?" I asked.

They seem to be surprised. Their faces were filled with fear. Why? I was just asking. Do I really look that hostile or something? Oh well, I don't really care.

Appearance isn't everything.

"S-sorry Aizawa-senpai.." One of them said. "You just.. looked so cute together."

"What!" I said in surprise. I accidentally raised my voice, it sounded as if I was angry at her.

"Waahh!! We're truly sorry, Aizawa-senpai!" They screamed as they scurried off.

I stared at them as the disappeared from the dining hall, sucking the life out of my juice pouch. I really didn't mean to scare them or anything. Maybe I should apologize to them later.

"Man, Shouta, can't you be more of a gentleman?" Hizashi said jokingly

"It doesn't matter. I'll apologize to them later." I sighed "Why were they so afraid, anyways?"

"Maybe its because of your stare!" He said pointing at my eyes "Your eyes!"

"My eyes? Why??" I was genuinely curious.

"You have really dark death-wanting eyes." He said "I mean, it's really pretty to me, but maybe they find it scary."

"Strange." I said

He picked up another portion of his meal and held it up to my mouth. I just obliged before he started yelling and attracting attention again. What is my life.

For some reason he looked really happy and at ease while he was feeding me.

"You're a weirdo, you know that?" I said, with my mouth still filled with food.

"I'll take that as a compliment." He grinned.

Again with his goofy grin.

Oof, really quick updates, I know, but that's only because I'll be on hiatus starting 23rd June, so, why not I make the best of it with this huge comeback? ^^
