Through the Memories We Hold Dearly (A BNHA Male reader X Mina story) (Book 2.5)

Chapter 1: A Generation Once Passed

Many years ago

A blissful blanket of blue splayed itself over the clear sunny sky, not a single cloud was to be spotted. The warmth from the sun's rays and the overall chirping of wildlife in the surrounding area sure gave the impression that spring was drawing near in this otherwise quiet location, a small breeze helping to cool down the individual who lay there.

U.A was known to have a very dense but lush forest just outside its grounds, being very close to the school it seemed like any would-be villain could take advantage of that fact, but luckily the school had its own way to deal with that problem. Though it still made for a very nice spot to get a good few minutes of rest in as the semi-thick layer of leaves allowed for a partial balance between light and shade. And with the way things were going on, it was well-deserved.

A girl, seemingly of average height for someone her age, blew out a small breath. She snored lightly against the trunk of a reasonably sized tree behind her, using it to rest her head while her arms crossed over her chest. With long white hair which dropped just below her shoulders, and orange-coloured irises that clearly split her apart from the rest of the girls in her school, it wasn't very surprising that the well-developed girl was known to be quite attractive. But no one was around to bother her on that as her head nodded slightly to her snoring.

"Noooo... Not my Nabe... That's my food..." She mumbled softly, vaguely sleep talking about her dream without even being aware of it. This sort of thing was quite common for someone like her, but even when a flock birds suddenly sprung up from the trees around her, she didn't budge from her dreamland.

"Crystal? Where are you? Don't tell me you got lost in this place again?" A masculine voice called out for her. The voice sounded quite close to Crystal's little sleeping spot, yet she did not even bat an eye, or rather a full consciousness, at her name being called. The boy, also around the same age, sighed tiredly to himself. "Why did you always have to be so good at hide and seek?"

The bushes next to her slowly started to rustle, followed by the appearance a boy with rather short black hair and a dull face. Though he relaxed when he finally spotted Crystal laying next to the tree she used to sleep on. "Seriously? It's the end of school yet you decide to take a nap?" He asked, rolling his eyes. "And I thought I was bad..."

A sudden snort brought his attention back to her. Crystal wasn't even aware of what was going on around her in that moment as the boy made his way to her, he subtly admired her sleeping face. He thought it was cute. "Still, I guess it's not all bad." The male peered over her shoulder, spotting her white hair against the bark of the tree. He sighed once again, it was time for her to get up. "Crystal... I know you like copying me sometimes but I think one insomniac student is enough to deal with. Time to get up" He joked, slightly shaking her shoulder.

Crystal's eyes flickered from the motion, she was too tired to notice what was going on. "Ugh... I'm sorry, Mr. Octopus... I won't eat you anymore." She groaned, rubbing her eyes after her short nap, only to finally spot who woke her. "Wait..." She narrowed her eyes, before a heavy blush dotted itself across her face. "E-eh?! Shota?! What on earth are you doing here?"

"I should be asking you the same thing..." Aizawa replied. "Also, 'Mr. Octopus'? Just what were you imagining?" He raised a curious brow at the girl's "odd" dream.

"Hey, my dreams are cool, thank you very much!" Crystal pouted, folding her arms over her chest once more. Aizawa chuckled at her child-like behavior, before opting to sit down next to her, something that definitely didn't go unnoticed. "Aww, did you want to join me? Or did you not want to walk home by yourself?" She teased.

"Keep this up and you'll officially outclass Yamada." Aizawa sighed, but shuffled slightly on the spot. "You looked bothered when our last class ended, I just wanted to see what was wrong. He explained to her. Crystal looked down slightly, faking a smile.
