With summer vacation just around the corner also meant a very special day was coming up for a very special man.

The weather was already growing warmer in the early summer month of June with the skies shining bright blue and the heat not particularly terrible. The air was also humid because of the changing seasons as clothes began to shorten and less layers were being worn.

Though (Y/N) tended to feel uncomfortable when weather began to scorch, she enjoyed wearing lighter and easier slipping outfits as she's always been very fond of summer clothes. This year was much better though with summer becoming one of her favorites, mainly because of Toshinori.

His birthday fell on June 10th, a day in the year which (Y/N) thought fitted her lover nicely. He was like the bright sun that appeared when the earth heated up, shining and warm, and his hair especially in the morning reflected that. As it turned out, around this special time the city was holding an annual fair in celebration of the warming seasons.

The woman was exceptionally excited as the gathering was inspired by Western-styled carnivals which she had attended quite a bit when she was younger. She reminisced on the sights, the smell, and jovial sounds of family and friends spending time with each other and partaking in games and thrill rides.

Sometimes crowds weren't her thing as if people were too close together she'd tend to feel a little bit suffocated by the amount bodies surrounding her, but the carnivals always held a special place in her young heart. One her dreams was to have a fair date and experience all those fun things with someone she loved, and finally, even if she was now a grown adult she could live out her old romantic teenage dreams.

What made it even better was that she could celebrate the retired hero's birthday in addition to that.

She was enthusiastic about her plans for her Toshinori, yet she also wanted to be rational with the slight concern over the email they received regarding a figure being spotted around the school campus. When reading in depth of the email, apparently one of the second year students, Hanata Sero of class 2A had espied the mystery individual from the window of his dorm room sometime very early in the morning. He notified his homeroom teacher Aizawa who passed along the message to Principal Nezu.

Then after reviewing surveillance footage from the video cameras outside the gates, they were able to identify a figure lurking around the school who fit the young student's description. Unfortunately, due to the quality of the camera footage and with the individual being cloaked there was no way to get a proper look at their face for further identification.

All teachers were urged to continue to stay attentive while on campus and have students walk with each other in pairs in the evening times. There was no immense fear over what they saw as after the attack on USJ the previous year and with students living at the school, the security and its protective technologies made it near impossible to enter without a pass or a certified tag. What made the situation peculiar though was ever since the school became aware the figure, there hadn't be any other sightings since it was first brought to attention.

Though there wasn't any restrictions regarding the teacher's activities outside UA, it wouldn't be smart to not be cautious anyway.

Besides this, Toshinori deserved to have some fun.

There was an honest worry in the woman's heart that Toshinori wouldn't even feel comfortable with the idea of attending the fair for his birthday, possibly because he didn't want to be recognized or maybe he probably wanted something low key for his day. Her intent was never to make it about herself, but she was pleasantly surprised when she had brought up the idea to the man and saw his reaction was nothing but positive.
