"Okay. That's enough for tonight. Go wash up and get ready for bed, tomorrow your real training will start for the two of you. Don't think it'll be any easier than this night, you're not completely let off the hook." Aizawa explained.

His words made me want to cry in all honesty. Not because I was sad but because a bitch be tired! Although, I didn't want to stress out about it tonight since the only thing I wanted was complete relaxation.

Izuku & I departed from the training grounds and made our way inside.

"I'm sorry you have to go through this, (y/n). You shouldn't be the one having to do all this extra work..." he suddenly apologized.

"I should be the one apologizing, we're only in this situation because I was trying to make everything a competition this morning. Unfortunately, I got you caught up in my mistake." I explained.

Izuku didn't need to try and take the blame for something that I'm pretty much responsible for. Besides, I felt bad enough that he was also facing punishment along with me.

"Well I did drive you to do it, so I'm not completely innocent. Besides, we can't change what's already happened. We'll just have to fight through this, surely it won't last the whole trip." He reassured.

Izuku always seemed to have a way with words. Comforting seemed to be one of his stronger aspects.

"Yeah." I smiled.

"Well, have a good sleep (y/n)." He kindly replied.

"You too, Izuku. Goodnight."

After that, we parted ways and went to get ready for bed. By the time I reached the girl's room, everyone was already sleeping. Since it was dead silent in the room, I had to pull some Mission Impossible and carefully sneak to my bed. I was just about there until I tripped over Hagakure.

"ow! What the-, (Y/n)?" she awoke.

"Sorry, didn't mean for that to happen." I whispered.

"Oh, okay. Night..."

I'm amazed at how fast she fell back asleep.

'Wait... Is- is she sleeping naked?'
...

"Stupid kids... you shouldn't have gotten in my way. Sad that you won't live to see another day..." spoke a huge, monstrous looking man as he walked towards the unconscious child.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" I yelled.

"You're still alive? Heh, just barely by the looks of it..."

"I swear to god if you even lay a finger on him..." I threatened.

The villain laughed as he walked towards me and crouched to the ground where I lay.

"What are you gonna do about it? Looks like you can't even stand on your own with the condition you're in." He mocked.

As he got closer, I swiftly lifted my hand up and sprayed a jetting blast of water into his face, leaving him a deep cut on his forehead.

"UGH! WHY YOU LITTLE SHIT!" He yelled as he harshly picked me up by my face.

"Agh!!" I screamed in pain.

He started to tighten his grip.

"You're gonna wish you never did that..." he threatened.

The pressure of his grip tightened with every passing second. I started to tear up as it felt like my head was gonna burst before suddenly, I was dropped. The pain I felt in my head was so bad that I felt like passing out. I looked over to the child & tried to reach out to him before everything went blank...

"HAH!" I jolted up from the bed.

I looked at my surroundings, noticed I was still safe in the lodge, and that there was nothing disastrous happening... Other than this pounding headache I had. I laid back down and noticed my pillow was wet. At first glance, I thought it was drool before I decided to wipe my face.

'I was... crying?'

The next morning...

"Alright kiddos, so today is gonna be like yesterday but more intense. For the two lovebirds who ditched & went on a honeymoon, we are not pampering you. As of yesterday everyone was responsible for their own supper and will continue to be, for this entire trip." Informed Pixie-Bob.

"Honeymoon?!" Izuku yelped.

'She really likes using that term doesn't she...'

"Again, all the power-up quirks come with me." Tiger reminded with a scary look on his face.

I turned my head towards Izuku who was shaking in his signature red shoes.

"I'll pray for you." I whispered as I followed the others elsewhere.

"You! The one that skipped yesterday!" Pixie-Bob called out to me.

"Uh, yeah?"

"State your name and quirk!" She demanded.

"(Y/n) (L/n), quirk, water manipulation..." I answered her awkwardly.

'Shouldn't they know this information before we arrive?'

"JUST water? No other liquids?" She eyed.

"Umm, well not that I know of."

She squinted at me before examining me from head-to-toe.

"Leave her alone, Pixie-Bob." Mandalay sighed.

I looked over to Mandalay and waited to see if she would speak. Nothing. Instead she just kinda stared at me and gave a smile before leaving.

'Huh. That was strange...'

"You got lucky today but know this kiddo, I'm watching your EVERY move." Pixie-Bob stated before slowly backing off.

"Ooookay then..."

"Oh, before I go I should obviously tell you what you're doing. Do you see that pool over there? Yeah, you have to absorb it all and then keep it flowing in the air for about five minutes." She explained, pointing at a giant pool that was filled to the top.

"ALL THAT WATER?! WERE YOU NOT INFORMED OF MY LIMIT." I screamed.

"Of course we were, that's why we're doing it. Aizawa told us all about you guys, all the pros & cons of your quirk and what you need to work on. You, young lady need to work on the amount of water you can carry, absorb and how much to release before passing out. This task I'm giving to you will help you focus on your concentration and also build up your water intake. Now, chop chop!" She continued before dismissing me.

I walked over to the pool and dipped my hands in. I took a deep breath and relaxed my muscles before concentrating on absorbing the water. The water started to flow like a current towards my hands as it went in through my palms.

There are some other setbacks to my quirk which I should explain before going into further detail about what's happening.

Okay so whenever I start to absorb extremely large amounts of water, my body will start to bloat, second setback of my quirk is that when releasing the water I've collected, I end up overdoing it and releasing my bodily fluids which causes me to pass out, the third isn't really a setback but more of something I have a bit of trouble with. My focus & concentration is okay but sometimes I get distracted by other things, and it causes my mind to go elsewhere.. But enough about that let's get back to my training.

There I was, bloated as ever from absorbing all that water at once. I felt so heavy.. heavier than usual, actually. I waddled back before completely focusing on releasing the water slowly and make it float in the air. I formed a small spiral and began to carefully enlarge it, eventually forming a ring. This simple task was taking more energy than I assumed. I tried too hard to absorb the water, that I didn't even take into consideration the amount of energy I would need to keep it up!

'Okay (y/n). Just stay focused. This is what you have to do if you want to become a hero. Now just stay concentrated, don't think of anything else other than keeping this ring flowing.'

"Great job, (L/n)! Now, let's see you make a dome!!" Pixie-Bob exclaimed.

'WHAT!'

...

"Say, Shino. Is there a specific reason why you seem so keen on (L/n)?" Ragdoll asked.

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"Well, when Pixie-Bob was trying to intimidate her you kinda went to save her. Is there a specific reason for that?"

"No, not really. She just seemed like she was getting uncomfortable so I went to help her out so she can ease up. Besides, I don't think she'd be doing as well as she is now if she had THAT much pressure on her." She explained.

"But isn't having that pressure part of what it takes being a hero? Remember we don't always have it easy." Ragdoll informed.

"Okay. I'll just be honest, but you can't tell anyone, not even (y/n) herself. So..." she started whispering

...

After 3 long hours of that vigorous training with the little 5-minute sparring match we had to do afterwards, we were finally done for the day. Well, not Izuku & I, but we were done for the time we had to make our food and relax a little before going back out with Aizawa. 

"Geez. And to think I have to go back out there after I'm done eating..." I whined, slouching my shoulders in defeat.

"That's unfortunate." A voice answered behind me.

"Heh, hey Todo...roki..."

I went speechless when I turned around and saw him. He was wearing a tank top that was pretty damp from his training, and thanks to that, it went perfectly along with his abs. Also the fact that his arms were revealed shocked me as this was the first time seeing them bare and... Dripping with sweat. Holy shit it was so ho- WAIT NO NO HE'S MY FRIEND.

I hid my face embarrassed before opening my fingers to take another little peep at him.

'My friend who is incredibly hot, holy shit Todoroki... OH SHIT (Y/N) STOPPPPPPP!!!!'

"Are you okay?" He asked as he put his arm around me in a totally innocent, supportive way. But that didn't make things much better for me, instead, I tensed up. A lot.

"Y-YEAH IM TOTALLY FINE, UHH, LETS GO MAKE OUR FOOD NOW SHALL WE, HA HA DON'T WANT TO BE THE LAST ONES COOKING ESPECIALLY WITH MY SCHEDULE NOW!" I blabbered on. As if I couldn't embarrass myself enough...

"Uh, yeah, right." He awkwardly replied.

...

"Hey, Bakugou, you okay? You seem more annoyed than usual." Kirishima asked his usually angered bro.

"What are you talking about, shitty hair." He sneered.

"I don't know, you seem more off-edge than usual."

"Whatever. I'm just trying to concentrate on cooking but those annoying assholes over there keep distracting me." Bakugou answered.

Kirishima looked around and noticed you & Todoroki.

'He's jealous again.'

...

After everyone was finished eating and went to get ready for bed, I was getting ready for my "extra training lessons" as Aizawa liked to call our punishment. Unintentionally, I arrived too early. I guess my drive wanting-to-get it-over-and-done with, made me forget to time my arrival. Instead of walking back, I laid comfortably on the ground and looked up to the beautiful night sky. It was pretty rare for me to see this type of sight considering I live in the city. It was nice out here, I felt at peace.

"What the hell are you doing." Spoke the utmost familiar voice.

"What. Am I not allowed to chill out and relax?" I sassed.

"Do you always have to be a bitch?" Katsuki huffed.

"Towards you? Yes." I retorted.

He rolled his eyes before taking a seat next to me. Strange, with an answer like that he usually would've rolled his eyes and left. I waited for him to speak but nothing, he just sat there in silence. When I turned my head to him I saw that he was relaxed and also looking up to the night sky. I studied his face, there was no sign of annoyance or anything. He was genuinely relaxed.

I stared a little longer and started to notice how pretty his eyes looked. It's strange, whenever I stare at Katsuki, his eyes always seem to put me in a trance.

"So uh, how you've been?" I asked awkwardly.

"Is that your attempt to make small talk?" He retorted.

"Well yeah, I mean what else am I supposed to do? You must've came here for a reason."

"Nah, just wanted to see if you were alive or not. Not every day you see someone laying flat on the ground in the middle of the night."

I didn't even know how the hell to reply to that so I just stayed silent. It was quiet for about three minutes until he spoke again.

"So I guess you & icy hot are a thing now?"

The moment those words came out of his mouth, I shot myself up and looked at him with a face that read "dude what the fuck?"

"What?! Where the hell did that come from?!" I raised my voice.

"I saw you two earlier. Maybe you should keep that shit private if you don't want others talking about it." He argued.

"Seriously?! You too? Ugh! You know what, no, I'm not doing this. I'm done having to explain myself to everyone! Think what you like, but just know that if we were dating, it would be none of your business!" I snapped, getting up from where I sat.

"Really now? Do you actually think I would waste my time thinking about that? As if! I wouldn't give a shit if you two were getting fucking married!" He yelled back, also standing up.

"If that's the case then why the hell are you so bothered that you have to bring it up in the first place?!"

"Because! I...I-" he stopped.

"What?! You what, Katsuki?!"

"You know what, fuck you. I'm done with this shit!" He growled before leaving.

"No! Fuck you! Throughout this trip, you have been doing nothing but making obnoxious comments about me whenever I was around him! I let it slide but I'm done with having you say shit about me and calling me annoying behind my back! You know, just before you said that I was beginning to think differently about you but never mind! Once an asshole always an asshole!" I yelled back at him.

"Who are you to call me an asshole?! You're not so fucking perfect either, (y/n)! You always have to try and do everything in your power to make a damn fool out of me!" He turned around.

"Is that what you think? God, you're so self-absorbed that even in an argument you're making it about yourself! Whatever, I'M DONE WITH YOU!"

I got up and stomped away in a rage. I couldn't think properly, all I wanted to do was get away from him.

'Ugh! I can't believe him! I feel so stupid for actually thinking that he has started to change!'

'That fucking bitch! She doesn't even realize how stupid she's making me look when she's going running around with fucking Deku and that asshole Todoroki! Fuck this shit, why did I even go there in the first place!'

...

"Look! She's walking away alone, let's make our move!"

"I'm itching... itching to go... let's hurry up and move!"

It's too soon. Besides... as I already told you, there's no need to do anything flashy..."

"Yeah. But who died and made you boss?"

"We'll fill those heroes full of holes and put them in their place..."

"All for a brighter future..."

To be continued...
