Unlike the usual, I tagged alongside Sparky and Red-boi to the route of the former's house -- barely listening and almost sleeping at his complaints of Midoriya. Jeez, he can't be that bad.

"He wasn't supposed to be more than a pebble in my path! How dare him! I'll blast his head before h--"

"Chill, Bakubro," Red-boi waved his hands in front of Sparky's face. "Midoriya's a nice dude, I really still don't get why--"

"THAT'S THE C--"

"Shh... guys." Their attention focused on me, Red-boi's expression confused, but Sparky's, irritated and just-hurry-up-already-with-your-nonsense look. I pointed to Midoriya's direction, a finger on my lips. Sparky grinned. Red-boi sweat-dropped. I regret what I just did.

"So... finally out of the infirmary, huh?" Sparky muttered dangerously.

We moved closer towards Midoriya's group of him and Iida, listening in.

"But Aizawa-sensei sure fooled us." Iida nodded to himself, a hand rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "He made me think, 'This is how it is at the top!' But, our own instructor deceived us like that..."

"Hey!" Uraraka caught up to them. "You two! Headed to the station? Wait up!"

"Ah, Infinity Girl!" Iida propped into a respective 90-degree angle.

"I'm Ochako Uraraka! Um... you're Tenya Iida and Midoriya... um... Deku! Right?"

Deku?! Sparky snorted into the palm of his hand, practically doubling over with laughter, causing Red-boi raised an eyebrow accusingly at me, and I just shrugged playfully back. Midoriya also seemed surprised. "Deku?"

"Hmm? During the test, the Bakugo guy said, "Damn you, Deku!" I swear Sparky looks like a pig whose eyes are bulging out of their sockets right now.

"Um... my real name is Izuku... 'Deku' is just Kacchan--" Sparky felt stiff."--being a bully."

"A derogatory pet name, then?"

"Oh, gotcha! Sorry!" Uraraka fist-bumped the air. "But 'Deku,' well... it just screams, 'Do your best!'" Deku's face immediately heated up, looking like a freshly-plucked tomato. "D-DEKU'S FINE!"

Ah, Midoriya... By now, we have gotten bored of the situation, so we just stalked off to Sparky's house, Red-boi trying and failing to cheer Sparky up -- merely annoying him. I slowed my pace as we reach Red-boi's house, me giving him a small hug and Sparky to tsk and track off. Soon enough, our walk was dead silent. Not comfortable silence, more like tense silence.

"Uh-um..." I attempted to start a conversation, disregarding the previous topic at hand. "Ya know, All Might's teaching us Basic Hero Training."

Sparky's red eyes flared up and his mouth twitched into a crooked smile. "You're not kidding?"
