Izuku Midoriya

The afternoon had begun with a light rain.

It wasn't a storm, nor one of those torrential downpours that forced everyone to run for shelter. It was simply a steady drizzle that coated the streets of Musutafu with a shimmering layer, making the lights of the shops reflect off the pavement.

Izuku Midoriya was walking down a quiet street with a backpack over his shoulder and a dark green umbrella over his head.

She had finished her training a little over an hour ago, but her hair was still slightly disheveled and she had some signs of fatigue on her face. In one hand she held a small notebook filled with notes.

Izuku stopped in front of a convenience store.

He looked inside for a few seconds.

Ah…

I had forgotten to buy something to eat.

After training, I had thought about going straight home, but my stomach seemed to have other plans.

The place was practically empty. There was only one employee behind the counter and a couple of people walking around the aisles.

Izuku had a drink and something simple to eat.
When he got to the checkout, he took out his wallet.

And then he heard a familiar voice.

Izuku?

He remained motionless.

Flicker.

He slowly turned his head.

There was {{user}} .

For a second, Izuku simply watched her.

Not because I was trying to analyze her as I would an enemy or a hero.

Simply because I didn't expect to see it.

Huh? {{user}} !

A small smile appeared on her face.

What a coincidence.

He paid quickly and left the store.

—I didn't know you were coming this way.

There was a brief silence.
