After the battle between All Might and All For One calmed down, Princial Nezo called for a meeting for all UA teachers.

"All though All For One may be gone, the threat that the league of villains pose has yet to be concluded. From here on out we must firmly protect, nurture and raise our students into proper heroes." Getting up from his chair, principal Nezo walked towards the window and placed his hands behind his back.

"To ensure the effectiveness of their training, I propose we put into effect a plan of mine that I've been mulling over for a while now."

"Um... Where's your guardian?"

Sitting in Aiden's living room, Aizawa and the skeletal All Might looked around in wonder. After the incident at the sports festival, both All Might and Aizawa had looked into Aiden's background and had shockingly enough not found much about him. Besides his benefactor being one of top 10 pro heroes, Aiden's background was practically non-existent. When they called Rumi to ask about it, she quickly shut them down and told them to mind their own business.

"She said she couldn't make it." Aiden replied dully.

"Oh... Did she tell you we were coming?" All Might stuttered unable to understand the current situation.

"She did." He nodded. "She also said the decision was up to me."

"Then lets not waste anymore time. We want you to-"

"I refuse." Aiden said flatly.

"Ehh?" The two teachers were momentarily taken aback.

"I'm quite happy with my current residence and see no real benefit to living on campus."

"You'd get more access to school equipment and you wouldn't have to travel as far." Aizawa frowned.

"I'm good thanks." He brushed him off.

The room lapsed into an awkward silence as both Aizawa and All Might didn't what to say. Compared to the other students they had visited, Aiden was the first to outright refuse them and tell them no.

"That purple flash was your pierce right?" All Might abruptly said.

"..."

Not sure what they were talking about, Aizawa turned to look at All Might.

"In my final clash with All For One... There was a moment where he was hit by a long ranged purple attack... If it wasn't for him being distracted, who knows how it would have ended."

Understanding what he meant, Aizawa's gaze fell on Aiden.

"That was you?"

"Who knows." He avoided answering the questions while indirectly confirming their suspicions. As someone without a hero license, using his quirk in a non regulated area was illegal so he didn't want to outright admit what he did in case it came back to bite him in the ass.

Seeing through his thoughts, All Might suddenly bowed his head and said. "Thank you."

'The number one hero bowed to me... Ha, how many people would believe me if I told them.'

Looking at the number one hero lowering his head, Aiden laughed dryly and told him to raise his head.

"You really won't live on campus?"

"Nope, I'm happy where I am." The real reason he didn't want to live on campus with the other students was because he couldn't stomach the fact that he would be monitored.

"*Sigh* As unfortunate as that is, we respect your decision and will not bother you anymore... But if you ever change your mind, UA's doors will always be open to you." And with that final sentence, the two left.

'*Sigh* I guess I should visit her now.'

Leaving the house, Aiden walked over to his neighbors and knocked on its door.

"Oh? Hello Aiden-kun." Ms Ashido greeted.

"Hi, is Mina home?"

"She's well..." Trailing off, Ms Ashido looked towards the stairway before inviting Aiden inside.

"Can I get you something to drink?"

"I'm fine."

Nodding her head, Ms Ashido still went and put the kettle on. While the water was boiling, she took a seat opposite to Aiden.

"Did All Might and that other guy visit you yet?" She suddenly asked.

"Yeah, they just left."

"I see... So did you agree to live in the dormitories?" While saying this, she looked over towards the stairway as if making sure that the coast was clear.

"I refused." He straightforwardly answered.

"That's good." She said to quietly for him to hear.

"What about Mina? Is she moving to the dormitories?"

"She is. She was quite adamant about it."

"Oh? I guess me and her won't be neighbors anymore..."

"I guess not." Ms Ashido chuckled and moved closer to Aiden. Putting her hand on his knee, she looked deep into his eyes and said. "But we'll still be neighbors."

Aiden's mind suddenly went blank as he read between the lines. But before he could answer, Mina suddenly came rushing downstairs.

"Mom I'm going o-" Seeing Aiden sitting on her couch, she suddenly stopped mid-sentence. Ms Ashido on the other hand had some how managed to make it to the kitchen and was enjoying a warm mug of green tea.

'Well this is awkward...'

Helping Mina pick up the groceries, Aiden was thinking how to approach the topic of her liking him. But after a couple minutes of silence, he decided to just jump in head first.

"Do you like me?"

"Hmm? Of course I do, we're bestfriends."

"No, I mean do you LIKE me." He emphasized the word like.

Contrary to his expectation, Mina didn't deny it and instead stayed quiet. But her silence was more than enough confirmation to him.

"How long have you known?" She asked quietly.

"About a day."

"A day... I've liked you for months and you just figured it out a day ago? How dumb are you?" She chuckled.

"In my defense, I just thought you were overly affectionate with your friends."

"I took a picture of your dick. Normal friends don't do that."

"Now that you mention it, I really should have realized that sooner." He smiled.

After laughing about it, the two lapsed back into silence until Mina spoke up.

"So what now? Are we still friends or..."

"What do you want us to be?"

"Honestly? I don't know. I like you but... I don't want you to feel pressured to like me back."

Staying silent, Aiden thought about the pros and cons of dating her. The biggest con he could think of right now would be her accidental acid expulsion if she got too excited.

'I'll have to do something about that.'

Telling her about his talk with Pixie-Bob, the smile on her face eventually fell.

"She's your girlfriend?" She asked in a defeated tone.

"No."

"But you're gonna have kids with her?"

Remembering how conservative Japan was, Aiden felt like smacking his forehead.

"Mina, you know you don't have to be dating or married to have a kid right?"

"I know that! But doing it with someone you love is more romantic right?"

"Romantic?"

*Rumi takes his virginity flashbacks*

'That was more ruthless than romantic.'

"Y'know what, this seems like a conversation for when we're actually dating."

"But you'll still be seeing her right?" Mina asked helplessly.

"I promised her that I'd be her mate... And I like keeping my word."

"*Sigh* Lets just go home and watch anime."

"Sure."
