Your Hero Academia

Chapter 14: Change

It was early in the morning and everyone was already in the classroom waiting for class to start. Everyone was talking about their experiences and you just kinda sat there as you would have done before. You started doodling in your notebook, making the adjustments to your hero uniform, something you should have done before.

"But I'm really glad you guys came out okay." You heard Eijiro say.

Everyone started crowding around the three, Tenya, Izuku, and Todoroki, and you looked out the window trying to distract yourself.

"I was really worried." Added Momo.

So was I...

You let out a long sigh.

"Hey, you okay?" Eijiro asked taking a seat in front of you. "Whoa is that your hero suit sketch??" He asked taking a closer look. You fumbled to close your notebook from embarrassment and it ended up falling to the ground, thankfully it was closed. Eijiro laughed and bent down to pick it up for you. You said a quiet thanks.

"I think it looks really cool, you've got talent." He said with a smile. You chuckled in response making his ears perk up and Todoroki notice from afar.

"Maybe I'll become a hero costume designer." You joked. "I'd better get this to the Costume Developers before the next basic training."

"Mind if I go with you?" He asked somewhat shyly. You gave a small shrug.

"Fine by me." You two then started walking out of the classroom and towards the Costume Developers room but not before hearing Minoru say,

"Ohh! Looks like two love birds are secretly- ouch!"

"Don't be rude!" You could hear Mina was the one who said that. You laughed a bit to try and relive the awkward atmosphere he just created but Eijiro on the other hand looked very flustered.

"So why do you want to become a hero?" You asked, trying to make conversation.

"Me? oh...Well," He scratched the back of his head trying to think of a good way to explain. "My answer is kinda general, you know, the kind you hear from practically everyone." He laughed nervously.

"How so?" You urged him to continue.

"I want to save people ya know? Usually everyone looks up to All Might, and he great no doubt about it but, I've always thought Crimson Riot was pretty amazing.

"That's why you went with Red Riot, right?" You said remembering his Hero name.

"Yeah." You two reached the Costume Developers room and knocked on the door. A guy with a huge yellow helmet thing appeared scaring the living crap out of you.

"Oh, sorry about that, didn't mean to scare you, I'm Higari Maijima." He apologized.

"I-It's okay." You took a deep breath. "I'm uh...here to have my costume redesigned." You handed him your sketch and Mr.Higari took it.

"Oh, this seems pretty simple actually, what colors do you want?"

"Black and F/c."

"Alright, you sure you don't want to add anything else?" He asked just in case. You thought about it but there wasn't much you could add to help your quirk since it was more mental work than physical.

"Not really." You said honestly.

"Well, Hatsume isn't here right now to maybe give you some ideas but maybe later you can add anything you want to it." He assured. "Since I don't have that much work on me, this'll be done in about 3 hours."

"Wow, that's great! Thanks!" You wrote down you name and what class you were in and said goodbye.

"You know, I don't think your answer is typical." You continued where you two left off on your conversation catching Eijiros attention. "Everyone might have a general reason but it's you that makes your answer different to the others." He looked at you surprised yet amazed.
