Training begans! Love...

They want me to take the U.A. entrance exam next year. Training to become a hero is the last thing I wanna do. When I argued Tomura told me that if I wanted this I would have to do everything in my power to bring the heroes to their doom. Turns out...I'm going to take the U.A. entrance exam. I was going to tell Akihiko.

My mom always worked late nights, so i didn't have to worry about being interrogated when I got home. I threw off my shoes and took off my jacket. I still felt sick so I rushed to the bathroom. I was bent over the sink and looked in the mirror. I started to let out a heavy snot covered sob. My laughs couldn't cover it. Why did this decide to happen to me now? Why, after all this pain and suffering something great decides to enter my life.

I began to think of Ryu. He cursed me with this gift. I looked at my reflection. I was just like that psycho. Without thinking I punched the mirror hoping my reflection would disappear. When I removed my hand from the broken glass, blood dripped from my knuckles. I dropped down onto my knees and clutched my hand against my stomach. I took my phone out of my pocket with my left hand and dialed Akihiko's number. After a while he ended up picking up.

The first thing he did was scold me.

"Why didn't you wait for me, Daiki!," he exclaimed. "You had me so worried. I heard something happened at school. Were you there?!?"

"N-no," I lied. "I'm alright, Akihi."

I was silent after that.

"You there?"

"Uhm...do you maybe wanna go out for Gyudon tomorrow? I need to tell you something.

"Uh...sure, man," Akihiko agreed. "Sure you don't want me to come over?"

"Nah, I'm fine, thanks though."

"Oh, alright."

I hang up. I looked at my hand. After I cleaned the wound I wrapped it in gauze bandages.

I want Akihiko to know how much he means to me. But now...every time I think of the boy who saved my life long before tonight it makes me sick. I think of Takeuchi, my father, heroes. But there's something I don't think about. I don't think about the League of villains. Have I finally found a real home?

The next day I told Akihiko about how I felt. About how even if I had a quirk he was one of the main reasons I wanted to take the entrance exam. He let me down easily. He told me that he thought I should spend less time with him. He said it would help me learn how to live on my own. He told me that I was his best friend and he only wanted what was best for me.

I didn't let it go. I told him that I loved him and I couldn't stand us being separated. When I grabbed his hand he yanked it away. He yelled at me and said I didn't get it. He said that he couldn't be near me. He told me he could see it in my eyes I was turning into my father.

I remember just standing there, speechless, not knowing what to say. When I said nothing he scoffed, gave me a look of pity, and walked away. I didn't cry. I think in the deep end of my mind I knew this was bound to happen. I wanted to crawl into a tight hole and stay their until the world exploded.

It really hurt to know I may never see those bright eyes again. I truly felt my heart begin to sink like an anchor. Though there was something wrong with me...I couldn't cry about it.

My training began the next week. Mondays I had Toga, who helped me with my reflex. Tuesdays was Twice, who helped me with physical strength and annoyed me to death. Mr Compress was on wednesdays. He told me since I would be going on missions soon I would need to be a master of disguise, breaking in, and breaking out. Then, Dabi was on Thursdays. He helped me with my quirk and stuff but I found him rather cold, rude, and boring unlike the rest.

I had the rest of the week to train myself. The only break I had was school. Even then I studied my behind off. When school began again after the Takeuchi incident everyone showed him and his friends pity. I wanted to know why because they were all jerks and now they're all dead. Maybe none of them knew how much he tortured me. But boy was I in trouble. One day after Asian History, the teacher called me over and told me to stay back with him for a minute.

Mr Sato was a weird man. He always wore this blood red suit and kept a black mask on that fogged up his glasses.

"Sit," he told me.

So, I sat in the chair across from him. He pushed his glasses up on his face.

"Tell me, Nakamura,"he said. He played with a pen on his desk. "Did Takeuchi, or any kids here at all, hurt you or do something in any way to make you feel negative thoughts of any sort?"

Immediately, sweat started to run down my face.

"N-No," I l said. "He never did!"

Remember what Mr Compress taught you, I told myself.

"He was never really rude in any way," I lied. "He'd make a comment once in a while. But he'd tell me he never meant it. O-One time I dropped my lunch so he gave me half of his. We weren't friends but he was kind to me. I had no reason to hate him. His sudden death kind of makes me sad."

Mr Sato eyed me like a hawk. "Are you positive?"

I wiped my forehead. "Yeah, I'm sure."

He waved me off but as I was leaving, a sudden wave of curiosity rushed down upon me.

"Why are you asking?," I questioned.

"Your friend, Akihiko, was worried about you," he admitted. "It was also police orders. They say the quirk used was much like the destruction caused by Ryu many times before. Akihiko notified me that the day after the incident you said your quirk had suddenly shown up. There's no physical evidence that you've actually done it."

"Oh well, later Mr Sato."

Which one was it?! Did Akihiko want to be my friend or not? If he didn't, he wouldn't have a single worry about me. What did he want? I felt like a confused puppy right about now. Although I was feeling lonely without any friends I found people who cared. I belonged to the league of villains now. But in my eyes, they're not cold-blooded criminals. They're my family. They saved me from myself.

I told my mom about U.A.. She was concerned about my quirk and feeling but she tole me if it was something I really wanted to do I could do it. Also, I think my heart beats for someone else now. When I first saw Toga and said something else but that knife made my heart go off like a bomb. It was her. She made it go off in an amazing way. Ten months later the exam came. I passed both. I even got a high score on the written! I got into U.A.! I felt like I could actually accomplish something.

My feelings have gotten even stronger for Toga as those ten months passed. I nearly completely forgotten about the ones I have for Akihiko. The thing with Toga is that I can just relate to so many things with her. We understand each other entirely. Even if she asks for my blood once in a while I'm not afraid at all. I want to step closer to her every moment. She asked me if I'd like to go out with her to celebrate me making it into U.A.. I said sure. Toga had to wear a mask though, just to keep a low profile.

Walking close to her sent my nerves running I ordered Ramen with fried egg and bacon at the restaurant we went to. For some reason Toga didn't order anything. The man probably knew something was up because he kept giving us weird look. Me and Toga were talking about our favorite foods. Mine was Gyudon. Toga said hers was anything red.

We went into topics even more deep. I told her how there were some points where I really thought there was no point in me living if I were just another form of entertainment for other people.

We had finished and I was walking behind Toga. My heart was beating like crazy. Was I in love with her? Now way...if I do it's not like she'll ever admit her feelings towards me. She told me the way she loved was different. She never showed any type of interest towards my blood. She stopped in her tracks almost causing me to bump into her. At least that's what I thought.

"I wanna...say thank you, Daiki," she told me.

"F-For what?," I asked.

"Everything. Us meeting. It changed me,"she said in a questioning voice. "Can you tell me the name of the feeling. My heart beats for you whenever you'r near or even when you're far away. My body grows hot. My mind goes crazy. But I don't want to suck your blood. What is it?"

I sucked in a deep breath. "It's love, Himiko."

I called her Himiko...is that allowed?

"So then what would happen if I told you I loved you right now?," she asked.

I felt the wind blow between us. It's rare to find things so romantic but a literal butterfly flew in the middle of us. I walked up to Himiko and guess what I did? I pulled down her mask and kissed her. It lasted a few seconds. When I pulled away Himiko's eyes had dotty little tears in them. I never noticed how cute she looked. I kissed her again.
