The day ended with much satisfaction as both Izuku and Tsui came back to U.A.
The couple held hands full of affection and both walked as if time slowed down for the both of them.
Tsui became closer to Izuku as the warmth that she feels was something she deeply treasures.
When they were in front of the U.A., they stood still.
"Izu-san…." Tsui tipped toed and kissed Izuku on the cheeks.
"That…is for the plushie.." She walked away after that and bid him farewell.
"Tsui-chan…" Izuku touched his cheeks feeling the warmth of the woman he had accompanied.
When Izuku was in his room, he went to his bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Still two weeks before the U.A. festival comes and it seems everyone was advancing their skills way faster.
Bakugou was honing his skills to the fullest. He wanted revenge for his last defeat and he did not slack within these past few months.
Todoroki trained as much as he can although he was held back by his unwillingness to use his quirks.
Izuku now has risen through the ranks but he was not yet done as he needs more training.
It has been a whole week since his last date with Tsui and he kept doing his usual routine.
He was jogging until he saw someone playing with birds but the person was slicing it themselves.
This person was a little shorter than Izuku and this person has short black hair and has a twisted smile.
He will go unnoticed if Izuku did not practice and sharpened his senses during the Sunshine incident.
He went close to this person and it seems this was a guy.
"Hey.." Izuku came to him.
"…?" The said person was smiling at Izuku and it gave Izuku the chills.
If Sunshine and All Might can produce a pressure befitting of their power, this person can make someone feel their blood cold with sheer intentions.
There was bloodlust but it was not aimed at Izuku.
The guy looked at Izuku with a smile on his face yet the smile was not reaching his eyes.
"I hope you stopped what you are doing to those birds that you are slicing." Izuku produced a sharp tone.
"What if I don't?" The guy stood up and holding a knife in his hand.
"Then I will stop you." Izuku walked casually. He observed the guy and it seems this person is used to fighting.
Izuku stopped when they were face to face. Close enough within just an inch to each other. He will not usually do this but his instincts tell him that he should overpower this person.
His guts are warning him and he sharpened his senses.
He was smiling and Izuku was frowning.
Then the guy swung his blade so fast that he knew he would get stabbed if Izuku did not get ready.
He stopped it by grabbing the person's wrist and the said person dropped the knife and used his other hand to catch it.
He tried to scratch Izuku in the chest and he was successful.
"Ughh.." Izuku did not give an inch and applied more pressure to the person's wrist, breaking it. It was not a time to be soft as the guy has killing intent.
Izuku used 5% of his One for All but the guy dodged it.
He dodged it in mid-air by twisting his body just enough to not get hit by Izuku's punch.
The shockwave produced by Izuku startled the person and Izuku's force tore his shirt apart. Scars can be seen everywhere.
The guy looked at it intensely. It gave Izuku the shivers but in a different meaning, yet Izuku will not stop.
The guy was surprised for a second and that was enough for him.
Izuku slammed the guy using his wrist. He threw him to the ground.
The force was enough to paralyze an average person yet this guy was persistent.
The guy slashed Izuku thru the chest with full power and Izuku received it.
Izuku prepared a full swing on the person and he punches through the person.
The ground shook as it made cracks in the parts of the park.
"Why did you not finish it?" The guy asked with a smile on his face.
"I was here to stop you and not to end you." Izuku answered as he disarmed the guy by kicking the knife afar. It was knocked out of the guy's hand after he was out of energy by slicing Izuku.
"Why did you cut the birds?" Izuku questioned him. He looked at him solemnly and without prejudice. It seems it got to the other party as he stopped smiling.
"It is in my constitution. I love seeing blood and bruises." Izuku was surprised the guy answered honestly.
If it was him before he will undoubtedly be judging him before he saw Sunshine.
/You protect your world. Why is it wrong to save mine?\
Izuku let the guy go. He was naked on top but he had an extra bandage in his pocket as he was always reckless in his training.
He performed first aid on the person. The person tilted his head.
"You liked blood because of your quirk, constitution or just plain like it?" Izuku questioned him again.
The guy was not smiling anymore. He was just looking at Izuku's hand that was treating his injury.
"Maybe all of those.." The guy said to him.
"Aren't you disgusted?" He asked Izuku.
"It is you, right? It might not be normal in our society but it is something that makes you what you are. I might've used excessive force on you." Izuku smiled at the guy.
"What if I already hurt people?" He once again asked.
"We can apologize to them and make sure if your urges come again, we can think of a way to somehow balance it out. Putting it that way, we are both the same." Izuku had melancholy during the fighting Sunshine.
"The same?" The person looked at Izuku and tried to sit but powerless to do so. Curious about what he will say he looked at Izuku.
"My quirk can take my body over if I am careless. My quirk has a personality on its own and I cannot do anything about it but fight if I stopped fighting it will take over." Izuku helped him to sit.
"It is a part of you. So it's you." The guy smiled at Izuku.
"Yeah, but I can't do anything just to fight it out. Most of all, if I am protecting my world, what is wrong with protecting yours? It might be hard but I will help you to find a place where we belong." Izuku stood up and stretched his hand.
"I wanted to become the strongest hero. Strongest of all using this constitution of mine." He looked down at the person who was injured.
"This is my quirk." Izuku took his glasses off.
???? Point of View –
I saw him transform.
Usually, I do not share my thoughts easily, yet it made me feel emotions when looking at him. Not usually of excitement about seeing others being hurt or my usual urges.
It was nice looking at him and it does not hurt that this guy was handsome yet it was those scars that lured me in. Those are attained by a lot of training yet I see others that look like degree burns.
"Look at the grass around me." He said to me. His voice was deep and controlling.
The pressure he exuded made it hard to breathe and I did what he said.
The grasses were burnt down; if this was the power he used to me earlier, I might've been taken down quickly.
"I hurt others within reach of me." He reached his hand to me yet stopped. I get why.
It was burning. The high intensive temperature was as if space is being pressured by the heat itself.
This will hurt if he proceeds to touch me.
He hurts others too. He does it and controls it with excellence.
"If I try, you think I can control my blood lust?" I asked him and expecting a heroic speech.
"Depends on you but I will be there for you." His face changed. Not the expression but the aura. It is frighteningly blinding.
"Give it a shot." He tried as he kneels in front of me and he took a breath.
The temperature seems to cool a little.
'He is trying to control it.'
"Release the heat of yours." I said to him and he looked at me. He released it.
I held his scorching hands and worry is seen on his face.
'How long since a person was worry about me?'
I put his hand in my chest.
'A mark. This person tries his best and damages himself every time. I want to see him more and more. Maybe, I will become like him and be him.'
It might take a long time as even I can feel I do not stand a chance against this man.
It left a burn on the left side of my chest.
I saw him being surprised and he stood up and grabbed the knife.
He pierced it to his thumb and dangled it in front of me.
'He knows'
I stretched out my tongue.
As the drip of blood comes in contact with my tongue.
It tasted so different.
It was amazing.
I licked his thumb and tried to suck it but the intense heat prevented me from doing so.
He was not moving in his place.
So I just stretched out my tongue and waiting for every drip.
It is a wonder why his blood does not get evaporated by his quirk.
It seems like an eternity.
Every drop it seems I am getting close to him.
It stopped at one point.
I am looking at him.
'I might go crazy for him. Really crazy.'
If it is him….
I took off my quirk
As my quirk is setting aside my face comes to a view.
"My name is Himiko Toga."
