Once again, Todoroki was at the meeting spot, 11 o'clock sharp.  Ojiro, however, was nowhere to be seen.  Todoroki waited for two hours, to no avail.  He gave a little huff, and got up from his sitting position.  He turned to go, but felt a little tickle on his cheek.  He brushed it off, and continued walking.  Then, he felt it again.  This happened five more times before he got to the doors.  

"Hey, Todoroki."  Ojiro appeared behind him.

Todoroki looked at him with an 'are you kidding me' expression on his face.  "I suppose you have something planned out for the day?"  He asked, a bit of annoyance in his tone.  Suddenly, Ojiro looked proud.

"That's it!  Keep that expression in mind, it's called irritation.  You were irritated that I was late, and that you kept feeling random tickles.  That was my tail, by the way.  Sorry for doing that to you.  Well, I did my part.  See you around!"  He walked away.  

Todoroki stood there for a while, thinking.  He wasn't thinking about anything in particular, he was just thinking.  Eventually, he nodded to himself, and went inside.  He started heading for his dorm room, when a broccoli-haired boy ran into him.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Todoroki!  I was running to catch up to you, and I must have ran a bit too fast."

"That's okay, Midoriya."

"That's good."  He tilted his head a bit.  "Ojiro's done already?"

"Yes."

"A-anyways, I was w-wondering if you w-would want to s-study with me?"

"Midoriya, it's summer.  We don't have school."

"Oh, right.  I'm such an idiot.  I'll just go now."

"Wait, how about we go to the park?"

"Sure!  There's actually a specific park that I've wanted to go see for a while, but just haven't had the chance!"

"We should go there, then."

The walked to the park, and lo and behold, it was hero themed.  (They both have their provisional licenses by the way.  I don't care if the timing is off or something, that's just the way it is now.)  It looked like a classic park, swings, slides, a big plastic set, the whole package.  However, the slide looked like All Might's fist was going to punch the ground.  The swings were gray, and had what looked to be streamers attached to them.  Todoroki figured that they must be Eraserhead themed.  He looked around a bit more, and took in the newer additions, things that didn't really seem like they would be in a normal park.  There was a bright pink trampoline, with an image of Uraraka's hands and helmet above the entrance.  There were stepping pads that got higher and then came back down, kind of in a mountain formation, that looked like explosions.  They were being held up by gauntlets with hands coming out of them.  There was a really long slide in the corner with all sorts of turns and twists, that looked like ice.  The steps to get up looked like fire.  He then heard crying from someone.  He turned around to see Midoriya looking at a rock wall, but not just any rock wall.  It had a full scale image of Midoriya on it, with his full cowling turned on.  One hand was holding a ledge, and the other was stretched out, like someone could take his hand.

"T-Todoroki, this is s-so cool!  I mean, I know I'm the one that brought you here and all of that, but I had no idea that these existed.  I mean, watch!"  Midoriya ran over to the rock wall, and placed himself directly where his image was.  He turned on full cowling and laughed with delight.  The kids that were there stopped and stared at him.

"I think you have some admirers, Midoriya."  The kids looked at Todoroki too, and their eyes widened even further.  They ran off, talking about how they just saw students from class 1A.

"I didn't even realize that people knew about us."

"Well, they would have seen us at the sports festival, not to mention the countless villain attacks that have been on the news."

"Huh, I guess you're right.  Anyway, we should probably head back now.  I know we weren't here for long, but I promised a couple people that I would hang out with them at around 2:30, and it's nearing that time."

"Of course."


I didn't really know how to end this chapter, so I just kind of went 'you know, it's good enough.'  I hope you are enjoying this!
