    After another minute of coughing, Hitoshi finally stops and takes a deep breath. His face was tinted red from the coughing and slight embarrassment. How is he supposed to lie about this one? No one would believe him if he told them the truth. Hitoshi takes another deep breath while rubbing the back of his neck.

  "N-no, I'm not Anorexic. U-um, my mom never made much money. I'm fine though. I, at least, get free lunch," Hitoshi lies nervously. He hates lying, but they would never believe him if he told them Mihoko abused him and spent her money on drugs and booze. Everyone sighs in relief. Izuku gives a small smile while blushing lightly in embarrassment.

  "S-sorry for assuming! I-I really am!" Izuku exclaims while bowing. Hitoshi rolls his eyes in exasperation while Izuku continues apologizing. Hitoshi closes his water bottle and throws it at Izuku, making the green haired teenager yelp in surprise and pain. Izuku stands back up with a confused pout on his face and Hitoshi sighs in slight irritation.

  "I thought I told you no more apologizing," Hitoshi states irritably. He yawns loudly, covering his mouth. God, he was so tired.

  "It was just an assumption anyways. No harm done," Hitoshi adds after he stops yawning.

  "How are you so strong?! Your arms are the size of toothpicks and you belted out at the punching bag?!" Mineta exclaims in jealousy and shock. Hitoshi clenches his jaw and grips his phone.

  "Don't hurt the pervert grape no matter how much you want to, Hitoshi. Heh, pervert grape. What's a better insult?" Hitoshi thinks to himself while taking a deep breath.

  "My dad used to take me to his friend's gymnastics class that she taught. She taught me how to fight after class was over. Heroes with Mind Quirks have to be skilled in some form of physical fighting. A Mind Quirk doesn't give you an ability to fight people dead on. Unless it's some form of Telekinesis Quirk," Hitoshi explains tiredly. Maybe he could sleep during lunch. Lunch was about an hour.

  "Shouldn't we be training for the Sports Festival?" Hitoshi asks, making the rest of the class stare at him for a few moments before they start to freak out. Hitoshi blinks in surprise when the private workout room clears in 3 seconds. The indigo haired boy chuckles slightly while he starts working out again. He's going to enjoy being in Class 1-A.

    Hitoshi watches his classmates part ways in groups, heading towards their homes. Hitoshi sighs in exhaustion and he begins his long walk home.

  Besides the gym incident, nothing really interesting happened. He met his new teachers, learned a bit more about his new classmates, and had been given a lot of homework and that was about it. It was enjoyable though. He finally had classmates that didn't fear him. For once, Hitoshi might be able to make friends.

  Hitoshi smiles softly when he notices Himari and Hayate waiting for him at the school entrance. Hitoshi had told them to come to UA and wait for school to end. He didn't want them in that hellhole anymore than necessary. Hitoshi walks over to them and puts a hand on their heads. They smile brightly up at him and he begins walking again, this time with his younger siblings with him.

  "Hitoshi-chan!" Midnight shouts from behind him. Hitoshi snaps out of his thoughts and he turns around. Midnight stood at the school entrance, out of her hero costume. She was wearing a black sweater dress, white tights, black flats, and red glasses. Her hair was up in a loose ponytail. Himari and Hayate hid behind Hitoshi when Midnight starts walking over.

  "Hi Midni–I mean Nemuri-san," Hitoshi says once Midnight or Kayama Nemuri was standing in front of him. Nemuri gives him a bright smile before she notices the purple haired 3 year olds peeking out from behind Hitoshi. She squeals in happiness and she moves Hitoshi out of the way to hug his younger siblings.

  "Oh my God! They're so cute! Are these your younger siblings?!" Nemuri exclaims while hugging the twins tightly, both frozen in shock. Hitoshi smiles slightly and chuckles when he watches his younger siblings turn bright red. Hitoshi was the only one to ever give them any hugs or family affection. Nemuri breaks the hug so the twins could breathe again.

  "Yeah. Hima-chan, Yate-chan, this is one of my teachers. Her name is Nemuri. You may know her as the 18+ Only Hero: Midnight," Hitoshi says, making Himari and Hayate gasp in shock while they stare up at the superheroine in awe.

  "Nemuri-san, this is Himari and Hayate," Hitoshi adds while the twins run over to him to hug his legs. Nemuri smiles brightly at the shy 3 year olds and bends down.

  "It's nice to meet you Himari-chan, Hayate-kun! Hitoshi-chan told me a lot about you two!" Nemuri exclaims cheerfully while giving the young twins a closed eye smile. Himari giggles and she gives the dark haired woman a bright smile while Hayate blushes and waves shyly.

  "Were they waiting here for you?" Nemuri asks, Hitoshi noticing concern in her voice. He smiles and nods.

  "Their school was damaged in a hero fight. School's out for a week while it gets repaired. Mama's very busy with work, so I told them to wait for me in front of UA when school ends," Hitoshi lies, placing a hand on their heads. He could feel the guilt grow in his chest, but shoves it away. Nemuri wouldn't believe him. No one does.

  "Because of the Sports Festival, I'm free for most of my classes. while you're training and studying, I'll look after Himari-chan and Hayate-kun," Nemuri states, leaving no room for argument before she starts to walk off. Hitoshi blushes slightly, trying to stutter out an answer.

  "N-Nemuri-san!" Hitoshi exclaims while the woman just raises a hand in the air, not looking back. Hitoshi sighs in defeat and exhaustion, grabbing Himari's and Hayate's hands. The twins giggle silently while Hitoshi leads them to the train station. Hitoshi needs to get his siblings dinner before Mihoko comes home.

Hey! Hope you like the new chapter! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a month! My internet went out and I had some issues with my password to my account! I hope you can forgive me!

With Hitoshi's love interest, I know I wrote he was gay, but I might change it to bisexual. As in, he didn't really have a crush on any girl but had crushed on guys and assumed he was gay until he meets a girl at UA and starts questioning his sexuality. Whatever. I'll figure it out soon.

Hope you enjoy the story so far! Bai!
