Yuki POV

I was tapping my pen against my desk, everyone boring their eyes into my back, I just want to go back to UA, I was lucky, this small nation only aired their TV to their kingdom, if word leaked out I did that and saved Prince Teru, Principal Nezu would need to do mountains of paperwork. The bell rang I sprung up and started packing up, I quickly sling my bag over my shoulder and head out, "Yuki!" I see Shu running up to me, "I already told you Shu, I don't want to ruin your image, it'd be best if you and your siblings just forget about me 'kay?" I smile sadly, "Well at least let me walk you home," He says, I grin, "Were you listening to a word I just said," I playfully roll my eyes, "... No," He drags me out of school. We were walking, "I just wanted to say, thanks for saving Teru, if it weren't for you who knows what would have happened to him, really. From all of us, thank you," He looks down at me blushing, "Is the Shu Sakurada blushing?" I get closer to his face, "N-no!" He covers his face with his hand, "Nice, a blush suits your face more King," I smirk and we keep walking, suddenly he puts his hand on my waist pushing me forwards, "Um... what are you doing?" I blush, "Oh, is the Yuki Nariko blushing?" He smirks, I jump away, but he only grabs my hand, "But seriously, I feel someone following us," I nod, "I thought that was just me, I didn't want to say anything in case it scared wittle baby Shu," I pout my lips out, he blushes and drags me around a corner. "Yuki?" Hana turns the corner, "Huh? Aren't you Hana? What are you doing following us?" I cock my head, Shu teleports next to a door, "It's you, may I ask why you were following us?" He asks her, dead serious, "I um... well I," She stutters, "Did someone put you up to this? If you cooperate we promise we won't get mad but you have to tell us why. What is it, something you can't say?" He crosses his arms, "I was... following you, well, because, I was jealous, you were walking with the freak of a girl, her dumb bright blue hair and electric green eyes, it's obvious they're fake, truth is... I like you," She clutches her skirt, I felt electricity zap from my bangs and frost start to creep up on my blazer, "You know what Hana, thanks a lot." I say sarcastically, she looks up, I slowly clap my hands, "Tell me, my stupid, fake dumb blue hair, I got that from my mum, you think I liked it? I always got made fun of because of it, tell me, do you know the Snowstorm Hero? Blizzard?" I ask her, she lights up, "She was my favourite hero!" I nod, "Do you remember what happened to her," She shuts up, Shu looks at me, "KIA, Killed in Action. She saved an entire group of civilians, people she never met, people she never knew, she still sacrificed her life for people, people like you, me, Shu. Now tell me again, why do you hate my hair so much, I couldn't care less about my appearance but if someone mentions they hate something that came from my own mother who died a hero, they can beat it. They're worse than scum to me, my own mother died before I could even remember her face." I clench my fists, I felt a tear run down my face, "Screw this, I'm going back to UA, who cares about some dumb three-week program, I'm leaving," I throw my bag on my shoulder and shove my hands in my pockets before stomping an ice path for myself, "Also, a favour, stop calling me a freakshow and saying I killed Teru, who made that ice just then? Me." I shocked it, melting the ice and I walked home, not turning around, "I have an idea, walk the lady home, she likes you, not like your approval ratings need another bump down because of me.' For some reason, I felt empty, like nothing was worth anything anymore, her saying 'I like you' to Shu just made my heart drop. Whatever, it's nothing my mind can keep there's no room for things like that. 

Th next day I went out for patrol, no one recognised me so they didn't realise I was Yuki Nariko, "Akane hey!" I wave, "Yuki?" She looks confused, "Sorry, hero costume, I'm on patrol, everyone treats me different to Yuki Nariko when I'm Blizzard, it's strange." I rub the back of my head, "Hey, why are you here behind a bush?" I ask her, she sighs, "Is that Hikari!" I scream, she nods, "She matured herself but now..." We look at her, "Her clothes don't fit," I finish, she nods. "Hey! I have the greatest idea!" Hikari stands up, "Hey wait! I don't approve of this!" But she did it anyways. "We're home," She opens the door to the Sakurada household, "It's about time- er... do I know you?" Shu was at the doorway, "Who are they?" Misaki and Kanade pop up, they gasp, "Is that Yuki, she's adorable!" Misaki hugs me, "Too... tight!" I whimper, I was dressed in Hikari's clothes, apparently Akane's clothes weren't fashionable enough so she 'had' to wear my hero costume, "Where'd you get that hi-tech suit from? You didn't steal it did you!" Kanade scolds her, I cry, "She stole it off me!" They were all confused, "You own stuff like this?" I pout, "It's my hero costume! I was out on patrol when I found the two of them behind a bush cause this airhead matured herself!" I cross my arms, "Well aren't you a moody widdle baby," Shu crouches down to my height, I slap his face, "When can I go home?" I ask Hikari, "Well you tell me, can you cook at this age?" I pout "No.." 
"Can you bath at this age?"
"No..."
"Can you do chores at this age?"
"...No"
"Can you-"
"Ok! Ok! I get it I'm a fat small dumb baby and I can't do anything, what am I meant to do in the meanwhile then? Do you expect me to do all those things you just said I can't do?" I protest, "Then I guess you're staying for the night!" Misaki squeals and squishes me, I flail about, "Come on Misaki, you'll squeeze the life out of the poor girl," I feel someone take me from her, I look up, "Shu?" He smiles down at me. "I'm so sorry Mr and Mrs Sakurada," I bow, "No, no, I'm sorry that Hikari used her power on you, also," Mrs Sakurada bends down and holds my hands, "Thank you. You saved my son's life, I'm forever in your debt, King Sakurada will make an announcement in your name proclaiming you innocent," I hug her, "Thank you Mrs Sakurada," She stands back up, I flinch, "God, I forgot how small I was," Everyone laughs. "Thank you for the food," We all began eating, "Thank you again Mrs. this is delicious," I grin, I throw my legs back and forth, my head barely peeking over the table. We quickly finish dinner, I offered to help but, "Can you-" Hikari starts, I clamp my hand over her mouth, "How much longer is this form?" I ask her, "Just till tomorrow, then you're free to leave the Sakurada household!" She claps her hands, I drag my school bag but it was one, too big and two, too heavy, I dragged it a total of two meters and I was already out of breath, "Need some help?" I look up and see Shu smirking at me, "No! I'm perfectly capable on my own!" I drag it again but fall flat on my face, "Owie," I rub my nose, "Here, let me help," He carries the bag in one arm and picks me up with the other bringing me into the living room, he puts me down, "Fanks..." I slam my hands over my mouth, "Fanks?" Shu burst out laughing, "Ok! I get it! Being a baby is hard!" I grab my homework out and start it, "Well I guess your brain didn't get any smaller," He rests his head on his hands, I hmph and finish it quickly, "There! Done for Royal Sakuraka High School!" I neaten the work and pull out my UA work, "Wait you're telling me you also need to do work UA set for you?" He brings his head up, I nod, "Just cause I'm on a program doesn't mean I need to slack off on heroics," I grin and open the papers, Shu peeks over my head, "You're meant to know this stuff?" He sweatdrops, "Mm-hm. Projectiles and their locations to the T, unarming villains, calculating trajectory for thrown weapons, this is all basic stuff we need to know. You don't want to know what the hard stuff is," I shudder. For the rest of the night, Shu and I talked while we did the rest of our work. In the morning it was almost time for me to transform back, I headed over to the bathrooms, "Hey do you have any clothes I can borrow? All your sisters are asleep and I don't want to bother them," I tug on the hem on Shu's pants, he stops cleaning and heads up to his room to grab some clothes, "Here," I smile, "Fanks!" I run into the bathroom and change, it was his jumper but I'm guessing he grabbed a top and skirt from his sisters. Before I knew it, I was back to my normal self, "Hey! Thanks again, I really owe you one!" I wave at the Sakurada family, "Be careful heading back alright! You're always welcome to come back!" Mrs Sakurada waves from the dining table, they were eating breakfast, I wouldn't like to intrude again, "Hey, let me walk you home," Shu stands up, "No, I couldn't you're about to have breakfast with your family, I have already been burden staying the night plus taking your clothes, I promise to wash them and give them back as soon as possible!" Shu walks over to me anyways, "Come on dumb-dumb go sit back down and have breakfast," I hiss at him, he just pushes me out the door and follows close behind. "You know Shu, thanks, a lot." I smile, he blushes, "Er.. what for?" He hides his face, "Well... kinda for everything, I don't know, since I've come to your small nation, things have just been. Content, I feel at ease, since your dad's speech about me not actually killing Teru, the backlash is nowhere to be found, in fact. People are praising me," I rub the back of my head, he smiles, "Well that's good to hear, I'll have a chat to Hana if you want," I shake my head, "It's fine, I knew my mum did something she chose to do, I'll talk to her, after all, it's my problem, I don't want you to get dragged down with me again," I chuckle, "But what if I want to?" He was serious, "Huh? What do you mean?" I cock my head, "What if I want to be with you. Since you came here I swear, the place's just been brighter, and I remember the first time I saw you it was like time stopped, the thing is..." Shu looks down at me, he held my hand, "SHU! YUKI!" Hana runs up to us, we both flinch and jump away from each other, "What's wrong? You both seem on edge?" She asks, "O-oh, it's nothing," Shu stutters, "Yuki, I came to say sorry. Sorry I called you all those names, sorry I brought up the memory of your mum and sorry for accusing you of the Teru incident," She bows, "No sweat, I was just talking to Shu about how I was going to apologies for being so cold to you," I wave my hands and stick one out, "Start on a new page? No hard feelings right?" I grin, she smiles and shakes my hand, "Deal!" We both grin. "Well it looks like we're at my house, thank again for walking me home Shu, you really didn't need to," I open the door, he shakes his head, "I said I wanted to right?" He leans on the door frame, "Oh come on, you could be eating your mum's delicious food right now and instead you walk an airhead home?" I snicker, "But what if I wanted to walk the airhead home because... I wanted to tell her that I liked her?" He grabbed my face and kissed my lips, my eyes widen but I kiss back, "W-What was that for!" I cover my furiously blushing face, "To tell you how I feel, after all, you are my airhead right?" He pats my head, I slowly nod, "This is embarrassing!" I zip his jacket up, "You know what, keep it, keep my jacket, it looks better on you than it ever would on me," He kisses me again I smile, "Also, is it ok if we kept this a secret, mostly because I don't want members of the public hoarding over you like they do with our family, who knows what would happen, also because I wasn't meant to date anyone before the elections, I promised I would after to my dad but, I guess fate has their own plans," He smirks, "To think, I thought you were the kid who abides by all the rules," I grin, he shrugs, "You don't seem to object?" He hugs me tight, "No I don't. None at all," I snuggle into his chest.
