"Some of you received internship offers," Aizawa wrote down the offers on the board, "And some didn't. Those who didn't, you have 40 works places to choose from." Aizawa glanced at Iida, "Pass these out, Iida."

"Yes, sir!"

~~~

Shouto looked down at his paper. It had hundreds of internship offers, but none that really caught his attention. Shouto sighed, tapping his pencil as he skimmed over all of them.

"Shouto, who are you choosing?" Momo asked him.

Shouto stared at her, "No clue who I'm choosing."

Momo hummed, "You're the Luminescent hero, right? Go with someone that uses light. It could work."

"Light, light..."

"It's just a suggestion," Momo said, "Make sure you talk to Kero before you decide anything though."

"Well, obviously, Kero's picky," Shouto said, "I'm going to have to research all of these heroes..."

"I could help," Midoriya offered, "I already know a bunch of heroes, I can help you choose."

"That'd be a good idea," Momo agreed, "Midoriya's analysis is great too, he could analyze their quirks."

"But don't you also have to choose your internship, Midoriya?" Shouto asked.

Midoriya shook his head, "I already decided. Plus you have a lot of offers to go through."

Momo sighed, "Just accept the help, Shouto."

A small smile made its way to his features, "I will."

"Well, we have a week to decide!"

"Let's get working!"

~~~

"Okay, so normally, I'd recommend going with Endeavor, since you're," Midoriya gestured to Shouto, "that."

"Wow, Midoriya," Shouto dryly said, "You really are bold once you open up."

Midoriya smiled innocently.

"Anyway, we need to discuss something, Shouto," Momo flipped through his internship papers, "Are you going to tell them about the cards?"

Shouto paused, "I don't know if I should."

"You're staying with this hero for a week to improve," Midoriya said, "I think you should."

Shouto sighed, "It's just that, not many can know. What if they steal the cards, or try to?"

Momo raised a brow, "With all the sleepless nights and trouble you went through to get those cards, I think they can defend themselves."

"Momo, they'd wreak havoc if they're taken away," Shouto replied, "The cards have no remorse, they're cards , manifestation of magic. Although yes, they have a personality, they're still cards. What if they kill someone, Momo? I can't just tell everyone."

Momo stayed silent at that.

"Why don't you decide by Wednesday whether to tell them?" Midoriya said, "That'll give you about two days of getting to know them before deciding whether to tell them or not."

"Okay, that's a good idea," Shouto admitted. "Now who should I go with?"

"The Seasonal Hero: Lunar," Midoriya said, "He gets his powers according to the seasons."

Then why is his name Lunar?

"What does that have to do with the moon?" Shouto asked.

"The moon? Why would it have anything to do with the moon?" Momo replied.

"Luna means Moon in Spanish, I think," Midoriya said, "Maybe that's why."

Shouto nodded, "That's exactly why. Does it have anything to do with his quirk?"

"His quirk is seasonal elemental," Midoriya said, he pulled up a diagram. "Each season matches a certain element. For example, Summer is Fire, Spring is Earth, Fall is Air and Winter is Water."

"That's a good idea," Shouto agreed, "So I guess I'm going with him."

"Lunar's an underground hero, isn't he?" Momo asked, "He's not limelight."

"He's on the border," Midoriya replied, "He helps out Limelight at times, but mostly sticks to underground. His hero costume differs when he does."

"That's nice," Shouto said, A very good idea, actually. "I'll intern under him then."

"It seems we're heading the same way then!" Midoriya grinned, "My internship is also in Hosu."

Momo said, "I'm interning under Uwabami."

"Isn't she a celebrity?" Shouto asked.

"She's also a hero," Momo said, then shrugged, "I wonder what she'll teach me."

"I wonder..."

~~~

Shouto walked home, dread was filling up every centimeter of his being. He didn't want Endeavor saying 'no, you're under me' and then have to follow that. Couldn't Endeavor get the hint? Shouto despises him.

"Kid? You okay?" Kero asked.

Shouto sighed, "As okay as I can be. I'm not looking forward to confronting Endeavor..."

Kero frowned, "Listen, whatever Endeavor says, you're doing well, Shouto. You're improving quickly. The cards are happy with you, okay, kid?"

Shouto felt a bit lighter. At least he was enough for someone. "Thanks, Kero."

They reached the house and Shouto hesitantly opened the door. Surprisingly, Endeavor wasn't there.

But Fuyumi was. "Hello, Shou!"

"Hi, Fuyumi," Shouto instantly relaxed. Thank god he's not here. "Where's everyone else?"

"Natsuo's out, and so is Father," Fuyumi said. "I'm about to go to the library, will you like to come?"

Shouto shook his head, "I have to prepare for my internship."

Fuyumi smiled, "Right. I hope you have fun, Shou." Fuyumi grabbed her sweater, purse and keys, "I'll be going then."

"Be safe," Shouto said, closing the door as soon as Fuyumi was out.

Kero flew out of the bag immediately, a shit-eating grin on his face.

"You knew, didn't you?" Shouto accused.

"Maybe I'll answer after I get—" Kero paused as he decided what to eat, "—cake."

Shouto sighed, "Cake? Fine." And with that, he got to work.

Shouto stood in front of a door. His nerves were going crazy and he was fidgeting slightly.

"Just open the door, kid," Kero's muffled voice came from inside the bag.

Shouto braced himself and knocked on the door.

Shouto wasn't gay, but lord is the person that greeted him beautiful. He had silver, long, hair with pearly white eyes. "I assume you're Shouto Todoroki?"

"Yes," Shouto answered as he was allowed to enter, "And you are?"

"Yuuto Tsukishiro, but you can call me Yue."

Yue...? That's when realization crashed over Shouto, "You're Yue..."

Yue smiled, "I supposed that Kero told you about me?"

"You're the person I had to fight for the trials," Shouto said, "You're a hero?"

Yue nodded, "Took quite a while, but I got here," Yue gestured to the couches, "Why not sit down, Shouto?"

"Ah, okay..." Shouto sat down.

"How are the cards, Shouto? Have they been nice?"

"Yeah, they've been nice," Shouto looked around the place, "I just need a bit more work with them."

"Can't use them efficiently, yet?"

"Well, I can but... If I use them with my quirk..."

Yue glanced at him, "Everything goes wonky?"

Shouto nodded, "I'm confused as to why."

"The cards aren't used to quirks," Yue said, "You have to get them accustomed to the feeling of your quirk."

Yue asked, "Tea?"

Shouto said, "Sure."

"How often do you use your quirk?" Yue asked as he poured the tea.

"Not a lot," Shouto took his cup of tea. "I use the cards a lot more."

"How much have you used them together?" Yue asked.

"Once," Shouto replied, "During USJ."

Yue sipped his tea and said, "That's why. Now, I know what we'll be doing this week."

"What?"

"Using your quirk and the cards together."

~~~

Shouto grit his teeth as he fought to stay awake.

"Again," Yue said, "Fuse Firey and your fire together."

Shouto was frustrated, "How? They're not meant to be mixed!"

"Fire and Ice weren't meant to be mixed, yet how are you here, Shouto?" Yue asked, "They're both two parts of you. You have to be whole not separate. A house divided cannot stand."

Shouto sighed, "Okay." He made a small flame in his palm, his key-staff in the other, "Add to this fire, Firey !"

The fire stayed the same, but another flame appeared. No matter what Shouto tried, whatever he said, the two wouldn't mix.

"Again," Yue said.

Shouto kept trying.

~~~

"I don't get it," Shouto said as he laid on the ground, "They're repelling each other, never getting close. Not even Watery wants to bond with me ice. What am I doing wrong?"

Instead of answering, Yue asked, "How do they feel?"

"How they feel?" Shouto hesitated before answering, "Firey feels like a storm. It feels tameable and dangerous."

"And your fire?"

"My fire's uncontrollable and stubborn," Shouto said.

"Instead of you forcing them together, why not let Firey take control of your fire instead of you?" Yue said, "Do you trust the cards?"

"Yes, I trust the cards," Shouto replied, "Will that even work?"

"You don't know unless you try."

Shouto tried it.
