We were always neighbors?

They were in their third year and the dorm policy was no longer in effect, meaning all the students went back to living in there homes. School was over. Izuku was walking out of school campus.

"Midoriya!" She yelled, running to catch up to him.

He stopped to look back, his eyes grew slightly. "Kendo, what's up?"

"Hey, I wanted to ask for a favor."

"Hm, sure I guess." Readjusting his schoolbag strap.

"Yui's at home, sick with a cold. I was wondering if you could deliver some notes to her?" She placed her hands together in a friendly beg

He rose an eyebrow. "Kodai? Yeah, but why me?"

"Huh?" Kendo dropped her hands, staring back at him, both slightly confused. "Because she lives in the same apartment as you..." She let out with a 'duh' in her voice.

They shared a few seconds of blank stares...

"Since when?" Scratching his cheek, letting out a ditzy smile for not knowing.

She grew accidental shark teeth. "Your whole lives, she lives directly above you! Seriously, how could you not know this!?"

"Really?" He was surprised, he placed his index finger and thumb to his chin. "That explains all the times I saw her close to my neighborhood, and every time I was walking home."

"You never bothered to find out?" She let out with a sweat drop, sagging her shoulders in defeat. "Whatever but can you still take this to her?" Handing the notes and homework to him.

"Sure, not a problem!" He was his cheerful self, heading home.

Kendo had her hands on her hips shaking her head at his dense nature but finished with a sigh and smile.

"She said directly upstairs?" He was wondering if he was at the right door. He glanced left and right, probably looking for some kind of confirmation. He groaned, not receiving any. "I can't just knock on a random door..." He had saved countless lives and stopped many criminals but still, he couldn't conquer this adversary.

Social anxiety!

He took a breath. He knocked on the door before he lost his nerves.

It took a moment but he could hear shuffling movement. The door silently opened.

"Midoriya? Hello." Yui Kodai calmly opened the door, shock only found in her words, not her voice nor her body language.

He tried to speak, stuttering. "H-Hey, K-Kodai. Um, K-Kendo asked me to deliver this to you!" Accidentally rushing the rest of it in a high pitched voice. 'She's boring into my soul with that indifferent stare!' He began to notice her other futures. Her nose was pink, cheeks pale, forehead sweating. She was also in blue and white pj's.

She glanced at the papers in his hand, back up at him. "Thank you."

"A-Ah, it's no problem." He extended.

She still had her eyes on him through the exchange as her hand gripped the papers. He was growing uneasy from her cold stare.

She sneezed.

His lips parted with blank eyes trying to comprehend how that sneeze sucked all the fear away. 'C-Cute!' He tried to fix himself. "B-Bless you?"

"Thank you." She kept her monotone voice, taking the papers, she placed them by a stand next to the door. She proceeded to pull out a tissue, blowing her nose.

All with a nonchalant attitude.

'Sick Kodai is surprising adorable!'

Izuku Midoriya has lost the battle!

"Er, w-well feel better soon, okay? I hope to see back at school soon! Bye!" He rushed his goodbye, waving quickly, trying to hide his blush. She was too cute like that! 'I hope Kendo never(always) asks me to do that again!'

She didn't have a chance to reply fast enough, he was out of earshot fast, yet she still replied, for herself, staring at his retreating figure.

"Bye."

Yui had returned to school. She was determined to interrogate one of her friends. She finally had a chance to confront her after school by the school gates. Yui walked up behind her, placing her hand on her shoulder. "Itsuka."

She stiffened hearing Yui. She dread every second as she turned to face her friend. Yui's eyes were shaded, but still visible, carrying merciless judgment.

'Hiiieeee!' Kendo mentally cried. "H-Hey Yui, what's up?" Trying to hide her fear.

"Midoriya delivered notes."

"Y-Yeah, I a-asked him to."

"Midoriya delivered notes." Repeating it with the same empty voice. The fingers squeezing her shoulder twitched.

'HIIIIEEEE!' Kendo was about to scream in fear and just run away!

"Hey, Kodai!" A voice came running along. At that moment, Kendo believed she was being saved by a higher power. Yui's hand loosened, eventually coming off as he approached.

"Midoriya." She greeted with her monotone voice.

"H-Hey, Midoriya." Kendo tried to play cool, not wanting to lose her chance.

"Hey guys, um, Kodai, I was thinking since we are neighbors, w-want to walk home together?" He finished, scratching his cheek with some guilt. He genuinely felt bad that he didn't know he had been going to the same school as his neighbor, never taking the time to find out. 'Well, Kodai isn't one to be called social, still...'

Kendo took this chance. "L-Looks like this d-doesn't involve me. I sh-should get going." She began to make her escape, bowing quickly a few times in apology. "Please be safe on your way home." She rushed out before darting away.

They both stared as she ran off. Deku had a raised eyebrow. "That was weird?" Noting Kendo's nervous attitude.

"Yes." Answering both his questions. Walking home with him and Kendo's strange behavior. It took a minute for Izuku to infer this.

"O-Oh, let's go then, it looks like it might rain soon if only I could ask Momo for an Umbrella." He was glancing up at the gray clouds.

Yui was staring daggers off to the side. 'Yaoyorozu? Of course, she would be on a first name basis with you. She probably lets anyone do that, but y-you wouldn't fall for that. That's right you're a Hero through and through!'

"It's fine." She nonchalantly added.

He laughed off, "I'll take you home quickly with my quirk if anything."

'In his arms!?'

She simply nodded.

Izuku kept making conversation as she nodded or added a few words to it, showing her interest.

And for the first time, Yui didn't walk home alone.
