I walk through the gates of U.A. the school I was able to get into thanks to All Might. I think about what the lessons will be today. As I mumble to myself about the day I go over how I would explain my illness, if it comes up.

Only a few teaches at UA know about my condition. The nurse, All Might, the Principle, and my classroom teachers. The only student who knows about my sickness is Kacchan, my friend since we were children. And the last people who know are my mom, my doctor and some of his staff, then me. My sickness doesn't have a name but I call it death itself. I know this makes me sound depressing, but I assure you I'm a very social cheery person.

"Deku!!" The voice pulls me out of my thoughts, a girl with a round face and brown hair calls me over in the halls.

"Hey, Uraraka! How are you?" I ask lightly skipping up to my friend.

"Good. How about you?" She smiles as we walk to class.

"Not bad. I didn't have to skip breakfast this morning. I would've I still took the bus to school. Glad there are dorms I can stay in."

We talked and talked till we reached the classroom, Iida greeted us like every morning. He's a great class rep, being the first one to school, other than the teachers. I take my seat by the window, I look out into the sky and wonder what my death will be like. Is it going to be painful or will it be like falling asleep and never waking up. I do not fear death anymore, I mean I don't want my already short life to be cut off any shorter, but I can talk about death like other kids talk about quirks.

My attention was yet again drawn away from my thoughts when the familiar yellow sleeping bag hobbled into class. I guess I didn't notice that everyone was in their seats by then. He unzipped his bag and turned to write something on the board. "We will be doing family life projects. You will have a partner, and since we have more boys than girls boys will be partnering up with one another. Your partners have already been chosen. Just find the person with the same letter on their card as you. The person with the extra sheet of paper will play the 'husband' role, the sheet will give you your scenario and assignment. As long as you finish the assignment by the end of next month, yes, it's long, I don't care hat you do. Just don't wake me up." With that long intro he zipped his sleeping bag back up and laid on the floor.

I looked at the card he mentioned, G. Alright here goes nothing, I stand up and bump straight into someone. "Oh! Sorry, sorry!" I look up to see Todoroki looking at me.

"What's you letter Midoriya?" He asks blankly.

"G, yours?" I say looking at my card.

"Hmmm, I guess we're partners then. And I'm the 'husband role. Interesting."

"Wait what?" I grab his card, and sure enough the exact same G on my card is on his. Just great.

Oh I may have forgotten to mention, I'm Gay.
