|A Few Years Later|~|Aimi's POV|~

"No! I am done!" I groaned loudly.

Izu-kun smiled and closed his door, preventing me from leaving," You asked me to tutor you, so stop it."

I groaned more and flipped onto my back," Come on!"

"Just fifteen more minutes Sai-chan." He laughed, sitting back on his bed and opening his book.

"Fine!" I snapped and got back up," Fifteen minutes."

"I promise, fifteen minutes." He sighed as he scribbled notes.

I nodded and opened my textbook," Can you believe that the entrance exams are in five months?"

"I know, I'm anxious..." he sighed and leaned into the palm of his hand as he read his textbook.

"Izu-kun." I muttered," Are you ever going to tell me?"

"Tell you what?" He sighed as he wrote down more notes.

I rolled my eyes, "Who are you training with?"

He jumped at the question and quickly started stuttering through his excuses.

"Izuku!" I growled.

He swallowed hard and looked at me," Y-Yes?"

"Come on, tell me already. You've obviously gotten a hell of a lot stronger in the last few months, and you just wouldn't have that sort of rigor unless someone gave you the routine." I explained as I turned my attention back to my book, scribbling down some key terms as I did so.

He sighed, sliding down to the floor beside me," Only if you tell me who you've been training with."

"Deal." I hummed and looked at him," You first."

"U-uh... er... A-All Might..." He stammered, his face flushing red.

I blinked," All Might?"

He nodded nervously.

"Wow, that's awesome!" I giggled and nudged him," His name is Dabi."

"Dabi?" He muttered.

Oh boy here we go... again...

Midoriya began to mutter at length to himself as he searched his massive archives inside of his head for the name.

I rolled my eyes and smiled as I went back to studying. I was unfortunately, highly accustomed to his muttering habits, it's almost comforting to hear at this point.

"Izuku, Aimi." Inko-san called out as she opened the door," Think you two smarties have time for a snack."

I nodded," Yeah, thanks mama."

Inko smiled before she looked at the time," Oh dear, shouldn't you call your father? He should be worried."

"Should be is key mama," I replied glumly," I'm pretty sure that he has no idea that I'm even gone."

Inko frowned," I'll call him dear, there are fresh cookies in the kitchen. I don't want you starving in here."

"Thanks mom!" Izu-kun smiled and stood," Come on Sai-chan."

I nodded, standing and following him into the kitchen," So how is training with All Might?"

"Ah... persistent... Sai-chan... can I tell you something?" he muttered softly as he sat down.

I nodded," Of course, what is it?"

Izu-kun looked down and sighed," I... I'm quirkless."

I narrowed my eyes slightly," I know that, I have for a few years now. So what is it that you need to tell me?"
