___________________________

Ichiro Nagatoro was excited today.

Walking down the street, he took in the sight of the familiar houses and stores that he grew up around. Entered the workforce straight from the University, becoming a rookie detective at the Shinjuku Police Station in Tokyo. He found an apartment roughly between his work and his parent's house so he could visit his family on the weekends. Unlike most of his fellow countrymen, he preferred getting by on his Yahama.

Today, his youngest (and cutest) sister had asked him to walk her home. Elated that she wanted to hang out with him, he quickly called a day off of work and came down to Hayama.

Leaning against a building, he watched as students streamed out of the entrance gate to the high school. Seeing all the young teenagers in uniform made him reflect back on his own age. He became slightly depressed realizing how old he was.

As the first wave of students left, the school gate became less crowded, with only a handful of students milling around the entrance. Quickly scanning them, he found his little sister talking with someone else. From their backside, he could it was a boy with brown hair, but he couldn't see their face.

Seeing how animated and full of energy his sister was talking to the person, he felt his big brother instincts come out. 'Does she like him? Hmm, better tell dad about this...' He crossed his arms as he paid more attention to the two.

Finally noticing him, she gave the stranger a wave before running towards him waving wildly. He chuckled at how excited she was to he see him.

The boy also turned to the girl to give her a wave before turning the corner and walking out of sight. But in that mere instant, he was able to get a full glimpse of the boy's face. 'Something about the boy's face,' he thought, 'it seemed familair...' It was then that the recognition hit him like a truck.

"No fucking way," he muttered, "it's 'him'..." In a daze, he continued to blankly stare at the corner.

"Are you okay, aniki?" Nagatoro looked worried as she pinched his shoulder to get his attention.

Seeing the concerned face on his little sister, tried to laugh off his previous expression. "Haha, don't worry about me. I think it's the work finally getting to me."

"Geez! I told you not to overwork yourself." She pouted at him, grumbling about how inefficient and useless the Tokyo police were.

He chuckled at her as they both walked home. But his mind couldn't help but go back to the boy.

------------------------------

(Flashback)

His head lolled back and forth as the person punched him.

After joining the police force, he was eager to make name for himself. He began investigating into the illegal activities in the nearby neighboring district of Kabukicho. Also known as the red-light district of Japan. He knew his snooping would arouse the attention of unsavory people.

"You couldn't just played along!" He was punch in the gut again.

But he didn't expect his newly assigned partner to be bought out by these very same people.

"Why else do you think we ignore what happens here?" He said while waving to the flashing neon lights outside the alleyway. "The rich and powerful determine life and death here! We're nothing to them. This is why you should've kept to yourself." His former punched him again as the two other corrupt police officers held each of his arms.

While his ears were still ringing from the multiple blows, he heard the unmissable sound of a gun loading. "Sorry it had to be this way. But it's a dog eat dog world we live in."

Closing his eyes, he regretted getting into this situation. He should've suspected something earlier when his partner was starting to act suspicious around him. Now his negligence would be his own end.

'Mom, Dad, my precious little sisters,' he thought. His life started flashing before his eyes. 'Wait, why are they flashing green?' He wondered.

He saw a green glowing figure snatch his former partner up and throw him into the brick wall, instantly knocking the man out. His captors stunned at the appearance of this dark figure shrouded in green light, let go of him as they began to book it.

But the two police officers got no further than a step before they as well were thrown violently against the alley walls. With his vision returning, he could make out a boy's face underneath a dark green hood. Lightning crawled and orbited around the figure, making him seem as if a god of lightning itself descended down from the heavens.

The figure looked around the area once more before flying up in a burst of air upward. He sat there stunned at the turn of events. He was about to be offed when this unnatural being had saved his life.

Suddenly, multiple black vehicles arrived, blocking off both sides of the alley way. Groups of men streamed out, wearing bulletproof vests labeled 'JDA,' with rifles drawn. He and the other men were quickly detained and put inside the trucks.

After being processed by this alleged government agency, he forced to sign a NDA before could leave. His partner and the other two police officers, unfortunately, were kept detained and would be sent to prison. While he was interrogated, he asked about the man who saved him. But he only got one name from his interrogator.

------------------------------

(Present)

'How does my sister know him.' He thought. 'Raiden: The Storm God...'

__________________________

The sun shined high in the sky. Clouds littered sparsely around high up, it seemed like beautiful.

Except it was exceptionally hot.

The rays pelted down on two students walking down a road.

"It's so hot..." The girl said, almost dragging her feet with each step she took. Her arms swayed listlessly by her sides.

The boy glanced upwards to momentarily look at the sun. "Yeah, it's pretty hot today." But it wasn't the worst. He had worked alongside Endeavor for his work study, so he was used to the higher temperatures that radiated off the number one hero. "Weren't you just being worked really hard at your clubs?" He asked. "You should take it easy."

Her eyes widen as she had an idea. "I know, senpai! Let's go get some shaved ice."

"Shaved ice, huh?" Shaved ice would be nice treat in this weather. He could already taste the Guava-flavored ice. "That sounds good."

"There's a shop I like that way." She said pointing ahead. "The fluffy, poofy ice towering over you is like..." She trailed off, looking distracted as she daydreamed about the shaved ice. "The Mt. Everest of shaved ice!"

As they both turned the corner, he accidentally bumped into Nagatoro. Wondering why she stopped, he also looked ahead and found out why. The shop they were going to had a really long line!

Running ahead a bit, she stopped near the window booth serving ice. "It wasn't anything like this last time I was here!" Not even four days ago, she and her brother had gotten shaved ice here and there wasn't even a person in sight.

He walked up to her. Looking at the shop, he saw the poster on the side and soon knew why it was so crowded.

"Oh, I know this shop. I saw it on TV yesterday." No wonder it was so crowded. Paired with a hot weather and TV advertising, it would a bigger surprise if it wasn't crowded.

"Seriously?!" Groaning, she looked defeated. "It was a great hole-in-the-wall... but now everyone knows about it."

"What do we do now?" He asked. Pointing at the end of the line half a block down. "Are you sure you want to wait in this huge line?"

Nagotoro looked frustrated for moment before a determined look appeared. Grabbing his arm she began dragging him with her as she ran down the line. "We're getting in line, senpai!"

"H-Hey!"

"It's for the fluffy shaved ice!" With a crazed look, she continued pulling him along. "We'll survive it through sheer force of will!"

He smiled awkwardly seeing how determined she was to get shaved ice. "We could always go for convenience store ice cream...?"

Suddenly, the girl stopped in place. Turning around, she looked at him with a face that screamed, 'I won't hesitate bitch.'

"Convenience store ice cream?" Her voice became deeper as she emphasized each word. Yup, at this point he had to retreat or risk the divine punishment of the girl in front of him. "F-Fine. We'll line up."

After waiting about ten minutes, the line had not moved at all. Contrary to it, more people got in will, increasing to a point where they were not standing in the middle of the line. "The line hasn't moved at all." He stated.

The girl responded back with a fierce look of determination while crossing her arms. "Willpower!" But her voice began to slightly waver under the heat. "Endure it with willpower! Willpower!"

Looking behind, he noticed there the line had begun to increase again. 'There's a buildup behind us, too?' He thought. But as he was looking behind, he noticed two guys gawking at Nagatoro's back. Looking at Nagatoro's back as well, he found that the sweat from the heat had made the back of shirt transparent. Visible through the shirt was her red, cotton bra.

Taking quick action to prevent the men from continue to stare at his friend. He moved to stand directly behind her so as to block the men's view.

Waiting in line for another ten minutes, they had barely moved up by one person. Nagatoro wasn't faring so well, seeing as she starting to sway back and forth, looking exhausted. He became worried. "Are you alright?"

Nagatoro didn't respond, only shakingly raising her hand in affirmation. "Maybe you should sit down in the shade for a while?" He suggested. The poor girl looked as if she was about to collapse.

"No," She said shaking her head weakly. "I can still manage."

He stared at the back of her head. He noticed that her legs were wobbling, barely keeping her standing. Her sweat had not traveled throughout most of torso, soaking her shirt. Her face was red from the heat, panting a deep breath each time. Overall, he did not think she could manage much longer. So he decided to take matters into his own hands.

Securing his bag so that is over his head to the other side, he quickly went in front of Nagatoro. He then grabbed her by her thighs, lifting the smaller girl up and on to his back. His sudden intimacy shocked her and those around them. The men who were gawking at the high school girl's back earlier became jealous.

"H-Hey, senpai! W-What are you doing?!" She said. If it wasn't for the heat, she would've blushed harder. She grew very conscious of the big hands holding on to her thighs. Her arms flailed slightly as she tried to understand the situation she was in. "P-Put me d-down, senpai!" She yelped.

But he ignored, continuing to give her an impromptu piggy-back ride as he tried find her shade. "Nagatoro." He said clearly.

She stopped fidgeting to pay attention to him.

"I know you want shaved ice." He said. "But as favor for me this one time, let me treat you to something else, okay?"

Shocked and... attracted to how bold he was, Nagatoro just nodded minutely. Deciding to get comfortable on his broad back, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Okay." She whispered. Whether it was out of embarrassment or exhaustion, he couldn't tell. Hesitatingly resting her head on his shoulder, she closed her eyes to prevent herself from blushing any harder.

After jogging for a minute, they both arrived in a nearby park. Putting her gently down, he let her sit down on a bench. Seeing how red she was from the heat, he decided to go to the vending machine to get her something cold to drink.

Seeing her senpai walk away, she put her hands to her beet red cheeks as if to contain the blush. 'Senpai c-carried me.' She thought. 'He's pretty strong... and manly.' At the last thought, her face felt too hot. Though embarrassed, she enjoyed being carried by him. 'I hope he carries me more in the future.' A stray thought whispered in the back of her head.

"Here," he said, returning back from the vending machine. Nagatoro was leaning back against the bench, sweat covering her body. Feeling as if he shouldn't look at her, he turned his head away while offering her a water bottle. Seeing the water bottle, she took it gingerly. "Y-You need to stay hydrated , or you're going to get heat stroke."

"Y-Yeah," she said, slightly panting. "Thanks, senpai." Opening the water bottle, she began chugging the refreshing water down her throat. He stood next to her, watching the birds and squirrels in the nearby trees.

"Waah," She said. Standing up, she thrust a fist into the air. "Fully charged!"

He just stared at her while taking a sip form his own drink.

But her emotions took a 180 degree turn as she became depressed. "Fluffy shaved ice..."

"Want to line up again?" He asked.

Appearing happy again, she smiled at him. "Nah, I'll give up for now." Shen gave him a thumbs up. "Let's come back when it's not as busy." Looking up, she rubbed her chin before snapping her fingers. "Senpai, wait here, I'll be right back." She then began to run off.

Shaking his head at how eager see seemed, he felt someone pat his back.

"It seems like you're enjoying your date." Behind him was Bang, giving him a knowing smile.

"D-Date?! No, you got the wrong idea!" He shouted while frantically moving his arms everywhere. "A d-date implies that two people of who share an interest in each other have decided to have an outing to either determine or further their interest in the other party and whilst having the potential of elevating said relationship to a higher level such as engaged or even married couple, but even if we're dating, we're too young and still in high school, further more by Japan marriage laws, the youngest one can marry in this prefecture-" He muttered out loud, while rubbing both sides of his head.

"Young Hachioji!" The elderly man shouted. This managed to break the boy of his ramblings. "Calm down, I just said date." He said, sweat dropping at how his small comment managed to turn this youngster into a word machine gun.

"Are you about it not being a date? If my old eyes don't deceive me, I believe I saw you carrying that young lass on your back." He said, moving his eyebrows up and down rapidly.

"L-Lass? Nagatoro is just a fr-friend. She was tired from the heat, so I carried her, okay?!" He covered his face which was now blushing.

Bang chuckled at the young man. 'Ah,' he thought, 'the passion of youth.'

"I just wanted to drop by to say hi. I'll be on my way now, don't want to be interrupting your date. Until next Sunday, young Hachioji." Waving at the young man, he began to walk away. He heard him shout his refusal of being on a date.

'Ah, youth.'

After Bang left, he sat on the bench while admiring how the wind gently made the leaves on the tree sway, still blushing at Bang's words.

'It can't be a date,' he thought, 'Nagatoro not interested in me, she just likes messing with me, right?'

He felt something cold press against his neck. Shivering, he jumped out of his seat while yelping.

Behind the bench, Nagatoro was laughing at his reaction. In her hands were two ice cold containers.

"You're so sensitive, senpai" She said, still giggling. Handing him the little container, he realized it was a lemon-flavored ice cream. "This is for earlier." Taking it from her, he expressed his gratitude. "Thanks."

Both sitting on the bench, they each enjoyed their ice-cream. Squalling, Nagatoro rubbed her forehead while smiling in satisfaction. "In the blazing sunshine." She began, " Convenience store ice cream. Is unbeatable."

"A haiku?" He asked. Looking at him as if he said the wrong thing, she smiled before offering him some ice cream from hers. "Here, senpai. Say 'ah.'"

Quickly moving his head away, he blushed slightly while answering. "I-It's fine. I can feed myself."

Amused, she continued to tease him. "Senpai's embarrassed!" She said before laughing.

After eating their ice creams they began to walk home. The sun was already beginning to set, turning the previous afternoon shine into the evening glow.

Walking next to him was Nagatoro. "Summer break starts tomorrow." She said.

"Yeah. It is." He replied back.

Giving a tired groan, she Nagatoro put her hands behind her head as she walked. "Now that I'm helping out with the swim club, that's going be my life for the whole summer."

"Oh, yeah?" He said while taking another sip of his Arnold Palmer. It was a running joke in his family about how addicted he was to the Arizona Tea. He blamed All Might for introducing it to him as a young impressionable child.

'Summer break, huh?' He thought. 'I guess I'll clean up the guest room for Ren-chon. But what else should I do?' Taking another gulp, he wiped his mouth. Looking at Nagatoro, who was quiet, he realized something. 'I guess she won't be messing with me anymore once it's summer break.'

Seeing him drink his beverage, she pointed at it with both index fingers. "Can I have some tea?" Without waiting for an answer, she swiped it out of his hands before instantly drinking from it. She took large gulps of the precious, amber liquids.

'No...!' He bemoaned in his mind. 'His precious Arnold Palmer!' He helplessly watched as she drank the bottle.

She sighed in happiness before handing back the bottle to him. "Thanks, senpai."

"No problem...?" He had no idea how to respond to her forcefully borrowing his holy drink.

"Here." Taking out her phone, she turned it on. "Want to exchange contacts?"

"I w-wouldn't mind, I guess." Taking out his phone, held it out. Nagatoro raised her phone to his so that it could exchange contacts. Looking at her phone, she verified that it worked. "There we go." Looking at the contact, she was confused at the name of the user. "Senpai, why is your name on your phone Deku?"

Startled at the question, he was confused on why his hero name was on his phon-. Pausing, he looked and realized that he was holding the wrong phone. 'This is my work phone!'

Quickly shoving it in his pocket, he took his own phone out, laughing awkardly. "O-Oh, my bad. That was my work phone. Here's my actual phone." Nagatoro, while curious about why he would have a work phone for a family diner, just shared exchanged contacts again with him.

"Um, can I ask you remove my work phone from your contacts?" He asked. While he wasn't sure about how the JDA felt about having his friend on there phone, he was pretty sure it was meant for work only.

"Nope." She said, giving him a smile. "You can't avoid me, senpai, even if you're at work." Looking at his real phone's ID she chuckled at the username. Showing him her phone, he saw his username, 'KatsudonLover4Life,' show along with a profile picture of a katsudon.

"This is such a loner profile, senpai." Giggling, she began typing away on her phone. "I added the loner's ID to my favorites." She then turned to him. "So now, if I ever get the sense," she said while pointing to her head, "that you're thinking of something pervy..." Stopping to type something into her phone. "I can send you one of these stickers!" It showed a cat emoji with a text bubble above it's head saying 'Perv!'

"Isn't that awesome?!" She gushed about it.

"...That's kind of rude." He said with a blank face. They began walking again. Approaching intersection, they began to split up. Nagatoro walked a little bit faster to stop in front of him.

"See you later, senpai." She said, waving to him.

"Yeah, have a good summer." He responded back, smiling and waving. She then ran off. Watching her leave, he then began to walk home as well.

Walking home, he was about to take a sip from his Arizona Tea when the image of Nagatoro's lips touching came to the fore front of his mind. He stared at the bottle.

'No,' he thought, 'this was mine to begin with.' Also, he would not throw it away. This was the drink of the god's! Raising it to his lips, he was about to drink it when his phone made a noise. Pulling out his phone, he saw that the tests were coming from Nagatoro. She was spamming her cat emoji over and over again.

Looking behind himself, he saw that Nagatoro was looking around the corner at him, sadistically smiling at him. "You're such a perv, senpai!" She shouted form the alleyway.

He was caught in the act. He tried to make p an excuse. "I'm not a pervert. I haven't done anything pervy!" But she continued to spam the cat emoji that constantly said 'Perv!' over and over again.

"Are you sure?" She asked while rapidly typing.

"Yes!"

"Are you sure?"

The screams of a boy trying to prove his innocents was heard throughout the neighborhood that day.

_______________________________________

(Earlier that day)

After greeting the young man, Bang casually strolled throughout town. Upon walking into, the seedier part of town, he stopped in an abandoned building.

"Why have you followed me?" Bang said without turning around. Behind him was a looming figure.

The figure was a large humanoid being standing at seven meters tall. It was wearing a license as a form of underwear to cover it's lower parts. There were three exhaust pipes shooting out from each of the monster's shoulders and the front part of a car covered the entire upper torso. From underneath the hood was the large head of a being with only two large eyes and a mouth.

"Vroom Vroom." The being said in a taunting voice. "No sense in hiding if you already know I'm here. I am Super Custom YO649Z Mk. II!" It started to flex both it's large arms. "My love for building and fixing cars became so great, I became the car itself!" The monster's eyes started lighting up. "If I take you out, then they'll give me all the car part I want!"

Bang sighed once again. Suddenly the old man disappeared from his spot. He instantly in front of the car monster. Throwing one punch to the car man's torso, the power made a huge hole that separated the monster's upper body from it's lower body.

The monster screamed in pain as it lost all it's lower body function. Bang walked up to the monster. "Now are you going to tell me why you followed me since this morning?" He asked again.

Despite the pain, the monster laughed. "You don't know who you're messing with! They are strong enough to make you look like an ant. I won't tell you anything."

Bang looked at monster's condescending face. "So it seems." He gave another punch, which reduced the Car man's head into bloody pieces.

Seeing his bloody fist, he sighed again. He pulled out his phone with his clean hand and started to call someone. "Charanko? Can you heat up the water? I need to use the shower later."
