I yawned and kicked the door to the pool open. I stepped out with a cup of tea in my hand.

"Would you mind covering your eyes for a moment, I didn't realize that anyone would be out here this early."

I turned away for a couple moments.

"Alright, we're safe. What are you doing out here anyway, sunshine? It's not even 5am."

I turned to see Mirio Togata of the Big Three in the pool. "Oh well I ahh..."

"Wait a second, you're that beautiful 1st year from 1A right? I heard a rumor that you live at the school, based on the coffee cup and slippers I'd say it's true." He smiled brighter than any smile I'd seen before.

"I'm Roxanne Lilac from Class 1A, I've lived here for a bit over a month now." I scratched the back of my neck. "It's nice to meet you, Togata."

He chuckled a bit. "So you've heard of me too?"

"Of course, Mirio Togata... I really do have a thing for blondes don't I?" I mumbled somewhat bitterly.

"Do you come out to the pool a lot? In the mornings I mean." Mirio slicked back his wet hair.

"Yeah, I usually sit out here with... Shit, Iida is supposed to be here in a half hour to make breakfast with me." I started back towards the door.

"Nice meeting you Sunshine!" Mirio shouted to me as I shuffled inside

"Nice meeting you toooo..." My slipper caught on the metal door and slammed my face on to the cold tile inside. "Son of a bitch."

"Are you alright?!" I heard some splashing and then there was a hand on my back.

I started laughing a bit. "I'm good, not the first time I've done this and probably won't be the last." I pulled myself up. "Plus, heroes have to be able to get back up, right?"

"That's sound like Big 3 material, keep working hard." Mirio grabbed my shoulder.

"I will." I nodded before rushing back to my room. I quickly cleaned up the room before rushing to the showers. After 10 minutes I rushed back into my room in just a towel, cursing myself for not taking the clothes I had left out. I opened the door and threw it closed behind me. I started dressing, letting the towel fall to my feet. I pulled my skirt on and reached for the black sweater.

The door flew open. "A good friend is always 15 minutes early!"

"Tenya!" I pulled the sweater to my chest.

His eyes lit up and his cheeks redened. "I'm sorry." He rushed back out the door.

I burst out laughing, pulling the sweater over my head and tucking it in before opening the door.

"I'm so sorry, I should've knocked first." Tenya hung his head.

"It's fine." I patted the top of his head. "What time are we supposed to meet everyone at the mall?"

"9 am. We'll be there early of course but after we have a delicous breakfast." Tenya set the bags he had down on the counter.

I pulled some pans out of the cupboard. "Hey Google, play Satisfied from Hamilton ."

We started cutting up fruit and I sang.

"...this is not a game~" 

"You strike me as a woman who's never been satisfied." Tenya sang, not looking up from the apple he was trying to slice.

"I'm sure I don't know what you mean, you forget yourself." I grabbed his hand and steadied the apple.

"You're like me, I'm never satisfied." Tenya locked eyes with me.

"Is that right?" I held his hand a little tighter.

He cleared his throat and pulled away, reaching into his bag. "My mother, found this old photo and had a copy made for you."

The photo was a little Tenya and a little girl.

"It's of us."

The memory of that day hit me like a brick. "We were playing in the garden, you were running around catching butterflies for me."

Tenya's arm rested on my waist. "If you want, there's a party at the Iida estate tonight. A dinner of sorts, we could sneak away and do other things if you want."

I raised an eyebrow and chuckled a bit. "Like?"

"Look at the old photo albums, there are more pictures like that. What else would we do?"

I chuckled a bit. "Of course Iida, of course."
