Izuku soon found out that Ururaka really liked to talk. Like really liked to talk. 

On the ten minute walk back to the school to get changed, she had already told Izuku all about the USJ attack, everyone in class 1-A's names and nickname on the groupchat, how many irritations it takes to blow up a Bakugou, how to avoid irritating a Bakugou, how to run away or save someone else's life from a Bakugou, how to make soba and ramen, (two of the class' favorite small meals) and what Aizawa's sleeping pattern was like. 

On the way from the school to the dorms, she told Izuku which convenient stores nearby were the best when they needed to get small supplies, gave him a quick rundown of class 1-A's schedule, warned him about Denki's static problem when he was wrapped in a fuzzy blanket, encouraged Izuku to use Denki as a charger when all the wall plugs on the first floor of the dorm were in use, explained the layout of the dorms, and told him how many members of the so called, 'Baku Squad', it took to change a light bulb before they accidentally shut of all the power on the U.A. campus and Momo just made a new one and screwed it into the socket.  

Izuku decided that Ururaka was a very sweet and energetic person, (emphasis on energetic) and she didn't seem to have a brain to mouth filter. Izuku didn't mind though, rather content to listen to her talking in silence, occasionally nodding his head and smiling, laughing quietly at how frustrated Iida was getting about not being able to say anything. 

Izuku decided he was going to be okay. He made a quick resolution in his heart to make new friends, and hopefully not have to rely on his brother as much anymore.  

When the three of them finally arrived at the dorms, Iida made Ururaka stop speaking and asked if she could go inside and help set the table or something. 

"Sure!" Ururaka said eagerly. She skipped inside, humming a song to herself. Iida turned to Izuku. 

"Welcome to the U.A. dorms." He said. "I hope you find everything to your needs. If you need anything, please tell me or Momo." 

Izuku nodded, taking in the dorm building quickly. "Thanks Iida." He said. 

Iida nodded. "You're very welcome, Todoroki. Now, just in through the doors is-" 

"The hallway," Izuku said, "and then the common area, which is next to the kitchen. the stairs are to the right, and there are four levels of dorms, the first two being the boys, and the second two being the girls. Is that right?" 

Iida looked impressed. "You remembered all of that from Ururaka's speed talking?" He asked, to stunned to even correct Izuku from interrupting. Izuku nodded. 

"That's amazing!" Iida exclaimed. "But yes, you are correct. Let me show you to your dorm. I believe your things were already delivered, and you have about an hour to settle in before dinner. I'll make sure that no-one bothers you during that time, but I can't guarantee anything after that. This class is like a pack of wild animals sometimes." He muttered under his breath. 

Izuku smiled at that. "Okay. Thanks again, Iida." 


Izuku plopped down on his bed, grateful to rest his feet. His dorm room was fairly large, with an en suite bathroom. His few boxes of belongings were placed in the room, and his extra uniform had been hung up in the closet. 

He heard a ding from his cell phone. He picked it up curiously and checked the screen. 


BigSisterKendo: Evening! How're you settling in?


Izuku opened up the app and replied. 

Izuku: Doing all right. I just got back to the dorms.
