Mechanical Heart

Chapter 1: Moving In

Bakugou could feel cold metal against his palm, as he held the hand of the robotic boy standing besides him. The robot was short, the exact same size he'd been when he was thirteen years old. He was made of smooth, metal plates which were painted white. His face was round, almost perfectly sphere, and a black screen made up his face. The screen lit up with a pixalated expression, green in color. Synthetic, green hair covered his head, mimicking the wild green curls he had while he was still human. He wasn't designed nearly as realistic as other AIs were, instead looking similar to some sort of toy robot a little kid might get for Christmas.

The two of them stood in front of UA, the number one hero school. It had been two years since Midoriya had become a robot, and they both had applied for the hero course. And now, they had actually suceeded, and were now going to move into the UA dorms

"K-Kacchan, I'm k-kinda n-nervous...." Midoriya mumbled, his voice digitalized and barely audible, as he was facing away from Bakugou.

He rubbed his thumb against the robot boy's hand, warming his cool metal skin. "It'll be fine, Deku. We passed the exams, so they can't go and say we don't deserve to be here!!"

Midoriya hummed, "Well, y-yeah, but what if they're scared of me because I'm an AI? I-I don't want th-that...."

Bakugou turned his head to look at the robot boy, who was looking down at the ground. He grabbed his metalic face, forcing the robotic boy to face him. "Listen. These guys are trying to be heroes. If they're scared of you just because you're an AI, then I doubt they'll make good heroes."

Midoriya's expresion changed into a shaky smile, and he nodded slowly. "Th-thanks, Kacchan..."

"Oi, I'm just telling the truth!!" Bakugou said, ruffling Midoriya's hair. He chuckled, the sound of it much like ringing bells. "C'mon nerd, let's go get our dorms set up." Bakugou said, dragging the robotic boy along as he walked towards the dorm building.

"Hey Kacchan, do you think our rooms will be close together?" Midoriya questioned, unfased by how Bakugou was dragging him along. Bakugou only grunted in response, which Midoriya decided to take as a 'maybe'.

Bakugou threw the door open, which startled the few people who were in the common room. It did make sense that there wouldn't be many people, since it was only the first day for moving into the dorms. Midoriya recognized one of them, who had blue hair, blue eyes, glasses, and seemed to have a very angular frame. "You, the green haired one!! You've been mumbling this whole time!! If you aren't going to take this seriously, then you shouldn't be here!!"

He glanced away from the boy, expresion changing back to a nervous one. Bakugou glared at the blue haired boy, remembering what he had said as well. However, he got up from where he sat, and bowed at a 90 degree angle. "I am sorry, I misjudged you in the exams!! You saw what the exam was truely about!! You are clearly the superior canidate for the hero course!!" He said, clearly refering to Midoriya.

"Huh?! N-no, I-I d-didn't know a-anything a-about the r-rescue p-points!! I-I'm not s-superior t-to a-anyone!" Midoriya said, waving his free hand in front of his chest. The blue haired boy continued, though, "If you didn't know about it then that makes you even more worthy!! I am Iida Tenya, and you are?" He held out a hand.

Midoriya stared at it a moment, his screen showing an awkward smile. "Uhm... Midoriya Izuku, nice to meet you!!" he replied. His hand remained at his side, as he was unsure about touching people he didn't trust.

Bakugou grunted, pushing Iida away, "Get out of the way, extra!!" He continued dragging Midoriya, and the robot said, "Sorry about Kacchan!"

"Where are those elevators?" Bakugou grumbled. "Kacchan, we don't even know which floor the dorms are on!!"

"Then we'll check them all."

Midoriya brushed his hands together, looking at the room he had finished setting up. The bed had been removed, with a large, metal rectangle on one wall, which had multiple wires attached. That would be his charging station. The walls remained the same grey color, as he didn't have any paint. One wall was covered with hero merchandise, and the third had a simple desk at it. He smiled, proud of himself for finishing it so quickly.

He poked his head out the door, looking to see if anyone else was there. Once he saw that there was no one, he exited his room, closing the door behind him. Despite what Bakugou had said earlier, he didn't exactly want for anyone to find out what he was if he could help it.

He went back down to the first floor, seeing as there was not much else for him to do there. It seemed to be rather peaceful, most everyone there were either conversing, or upstairs, setting up their dorms.

He avoided the group, instead choosing to sit against the wall. He didn't want to intrude on their conversations, after all.

And besides, the robotic boy didn't exactly feel like he belonged there, with him being mechanical and what-not. He was just a machine, and they were human..

He shook his head slightly, pushing the thoughts away.

Not too long later, Bakugou came out of the elevator. Midoriya grinned, and instantly jumped up, tackling him into a hug, "Kacchan!!!"

Bakugou grumbled, "Get off of me, nerd...." but Midoriya just laughed, continuing to hold onto the explosive blond.

He was happy that he was in the same class as him, that was for sure.
