It was the day for class 1-A to be posted to their respective hero agencies. Yumi was waiting at the train station for a certain ash-blonde. Yumi sighed looking at her watch, he was late by 15 minutes.

Yumi decided to intern with Best Jeanist and was supposed to go there with Bakugou, but the ash-blonde boy was no where to be seen. After a few moments, Bakugou has finally arrived. "Hello!" Yumi greeted with a smile, happy to see that he has arrived safely.

"Tch." Bakugou looked away. Yumi lightly smiled, at least Bakugou didn't shout or scold her harshly, maybe they could be friends. Yumi picked up her bag containing all her clothes and neccessities, "Let's go."

They boarded the train towards Tokyo, where Best Jeanist's Hero agency, Genius Office is located. They train ride went on silently, both parties not trying to start a conversation. Yumi looked down at the floor feeling the awkward tension, 'Maybe I should've let Kori tag along, it would've been less quiet... but she needs to protect Wendy in case anything happens.'

Yumi sighed, not knowing how to start a conversation with Bakugou without being yelled at. A voice broke her out of her thoughts. "Get up, we have reached Tokyo." Bakugou said as he picked up his bag. Yumi soon follow suite and they both left the train.

"Bakugou? Do you know where the hotel is located at? I'm not very sure..." Yumi asked, a little afraid that he would find her annoying but she gathered up her courage and ask. Bakugou looked at his phone and looked back at Yumi, "Yeah, it's just 300 metres away, I'll lead the way." He replied nonchalantly.

Yumi was a little surprised he didn't yell at her for not knowing the way but she knew Bakugou wasn't all that bad after all. They entered the tall building, the lobby looked luxurious and beautiful. Yumi was in awe at the grand hotel lobby, she hasn't seen anything like this back at Earthland.

Bakugou noticed that Yumi had a big smile on her face, a light blush dusted his cheeks as he moved his hands to his hands to hide the blush on his face. "I'll check in for us." He said as he walked towards the counter.

Yumi continued exploring the lavish hotel lobby while Bakugou checked in to the hotel for them. After a few minutes, Bakugou returned with four hotel keycards on his hands and passed two to Yumi.

"These are the cards to your room." He said as he picked up Yumi's bag. "Let's go, you're so slow." He added as he pressed the button on the elevator.

They went up to the fourth floor, walking to the rooms numbered 432 and 434. He tapped his keycard on room 434, "Our rooms are connected and theres a door leading to each of our rooms. Don't come over, unless it's important." He said as he went inside the room.

Yumi followed his actions and tapped the keycard on the door handle. A click sounds was heard and she stepped inside.

It was a moderately sized room, with a queen-sized bed and a modern looking bathroom with a bathtub.

Yumi's lips curled up into a smile, 'So this is where I would be staying for a week huh, it's quite nice... and I might just become friends with Bakugou.'

Since young, Yumi never really conversed with people or was a people person. But after joining Fairy Tail, she opened up and learned to make friends and how to hold a conversation, though she might be slightly awkward at times, but she would still try to befriend people.

She wasn't too sure why she was so insistent on making Bakugou consider her as a friend, probably because she felt a sense of familiarity and security when she is with him.

Yumi looked out the window, realising that it was quite late already. She quickly changed into her sleepwear which was a simple pastel blue hoodie with white shorts and drifted to sleep.

'I hope I would be able to find the rest of the team soon...'

It was 6am in the morning, the sun has yet to rise fully. Yumi was still in her bed, sleeping peacefully, until a certain ash-blonde decided to wake her up.

He burst into her room using the connecting door that was unlocked, "Wake up loser, get ready, we need to go for the internship." He yelled as he slammed the door open.

Yumi jolted awake from the sudden loud noise, her eyelids still heavy. She spotted Bakugou standing in front of her bed, rubbing her eyes, thinking this was a dream.

She blinked a few times to make sure it was reality, "Bakugou-kun? Why are you here?" She mumbles, still half asleep.

"We have internship later, did you forget idiot?" He replied as he pulled the blanket that Yumi was using.

"Okay okay, I'll go get ready..." Yumi mumble as she stumble out of bed and walked to her closet getting her hero outfit.

Her hero outift consists of pastel blue camisole top with two slits behind for her wings, and a white skirt with white combat boots.

She tied up her long platinum blonde hair, leaving two strands at the front, she sheaths her one of her dagger into the thigh sheaths on her right leg and sheaths the other two in each of her combat boots.

She is proficient with daggers so as to avoid using as much magic as possible due to her condition. She also has more exposed skin so she could freeze her wounds and heal them later.

There was a nice scent wafting through the air, Yumi got curious and followed it. She saw Bakugou at the mini-kitchen in his room, cooking breakfast.

"Oi, your food is almost done, sit there and wait." He ordered as he continued to cook. Yumi was impressed, she didn't expect him to coon for her.

Yumi took a seat at the small table near it, waiting patiently for her food. In another few minutes, Bakugou placed a plate of bacon and eggs with pancakes in front of her. Her mouth was close to watering, it looks absolutely delicious.

"Itadakimasu!" Yumi said as she clasp her hands together then started eating. Bakugou took a seat across her, watching her eat.

"Bakugou-kun? Did you not cook for yourself?" Yumi questioned, noticing that she was the only one eating. "I already ate mine, considering how long you took to wash up idiot." He replied, annoyed. Yumi nodded as she continued to eat the scrumptious breakfast that Bakugou prepared for her.

Bakugou got up and went to change into his hero outfit, after Yumi was done, they both head to the hero agency together.

The agency wasn't far, in fact it was very near. It was only 50 metres away from the hotel. It was a white two story building, as they stepped in, they were greeted by a staff.

"You must be the hero interns," She greeted, she pointed to the hallway to the left. "Please proceed that way to the waiting room." She continued.

Yumi bowed lightly muttering, "Thank you." As they both made their way to the waiting room allocated to them.

It was just a white room with a few blue lockers and two benches, there was no one else there. Yumi put her stuff into a locker and took a seat, Bakugou soon follow suit and do the same. "I wonder how many people are interning with Best Jeanist along with us." Yumi smiled.

Bakugou scoffed, "It doesn't matter, they are all extras anyways." Yumi let out a little giggle, which got Bakugou's attention.

"What are you laughing at idiot." He commented. Yumi smiled, "You are still the same." She looked at Bakugou who has a faint blush on his face.

"Bakugou being shy?" Yumi teased, in which Bakugou shouted in response as he looked away. "Hell no!"

Yumi let out a little laugh at his cute behavior. "You've changed a lot." He said quietly but Yumi who has heightened hearing could catch it. "Hmm... did I?" Yumi commented as she thought about how she was before and now.

Bakugou was a little shocked that she could hear it but responded anyways. "You were avoiding people when we first met you, now you're comfortable with us."

Yumi had a realization, she was finally getting comfortable with people other than her guild mates. She was happy and also a little afraid, she didn't want something like that to happen to her again. Memories of that event flashed in her mind, her crying alone in her room, having panic attacks and hyperventilating.

Her hands were shaking, she didn't want to experience anything like that ever again. Bakugou noticed her weird actions, "Hey, what's up with you?" He asked, showing his concern in another way.
