[IC] BNH Academia: Quirk-y Fates { Alternate & Angel }

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya took another look at Nensu and himself. He couldn't hide the widening smile, this was just too much happiness he was feeling. How Nensu smiled, how she clapped her hands together... Just when he was about to give her a big hug, he realized that they were only trying those clothes on. He couldn't do such big action when they didn't even buy the hoodie yet. Retreating his awkwardly stretched arms, Midoriya gingerly scratched his head as his free hand reached for the wallet.
"Might as well buy this before I do anything stupid."
He muttered.

Was it jealousy? Hiems quickly pulled away his hand that had reached for Momo's as he watched the two continued expressing their unstoppable young love. That was not his thing- the feeling was too awkward for his hand. He turned to Momo, who was smiling a the couple at the hero shop.
"They got along the beginning, I can say that."
He said.

[AngelBites15]

Considering that her eyes were closed, Nensu was oblivious to the other teen’s attempt to get closer. In fact, she turned her body to the side to make a cute expression, as well as to hide the blush that was appearing on her face. If she was even aware, Midoriya could, very well, have ended up falling forward onto the floor. By the time he spoke, was when the teenage girl was able to really show some awareness. While he looked for his wallet, Nensu was able to walk upon him from behind, and hug him; wrapping her arms around his form, press the front of her body against his back, and rest her cheek on his shoulder.

Momo wasn’t even aware of Hiems trying to reach for her attention, since her attention was diverted towards the young couple, who stood only a few feet away from them. Funny enough, they didn’t even come to notice them even standing there, watching.
“It’s still sweet to watch”
The raven-haired teen internally squealed, although she did take a glance at the taller boy next to her, having to wonder whether if they could do the same thing.

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya flinched. He could feel his heart literally skip a beat as he felt contact from behind him. When did she get behind him, and how did he not notice? Was she seriously hugging him? The boy nearly died to a heart attack when he felt Nensu’s cheek land on his shoulder. His hands instinctively reached for her arms that were locked around his waist, resting on them as his face lit up like an erupting volcano. Then he squeaked. Nensu made a revolutionary move every now and then, and it was too fast for his mind to process it in a sane state. It was as if fumes were escaping from his mouth as his mind went on static for the next few seconds.
“H....hey.”
He said.

“So, uhhh.”
Hiems diverted his attention back to the store. Did she notice what he just did? He hoped not.
“Anything you want to buy?”
He said. He tried to look calm as he reached over to his hair and tidied it up. All the action wasn’t helping him keep the usual careless look, and only let the girl know that he was definitely awkward, and embarrassed for that little move he failed to execute so proudly.

[AngelBites15]

Nensu took a rather comforting breath, and felt the amount of tension that seemed to be resonating from the boy she was leaning against. She loosened her grip around him when she felt that said-tension, nearly as if she was in shame of his reaction.
"S-sorry".
She said softly, almost in a whisper. She picked her face up from his shoulder, and rested her chin there.
"Is it too much, Izuku? Am I going too fast? Did I cross something? Are you...?"
It was only for a short time that she noticed herself starting to ramble. She didn't want to baby him, but nervousness started to creep up on her. She wanted herself and Midoriya to have a good time - especially since this was their first official date; that also meant that she wanted the green-haired teen to be comfortable, as well as try to create good, new memories; ones that wouldn't reflect on what happened in the past.

Momo was sparkling, as she heard Heims mention the one thing that really solved most of her personal problems - shopping!
"Do you really have to ask?!"

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya reached for Nensu's arms. He rested his hands on them as he desperately thought of words that would help calm them both down. Every time she got closer it was like a whole new thing, and he was very well unnerved by each encounters. It was frightening Nensu as well, obviously.
"I'm sorry."
He said.
"I'm fine, it's just... I can't stop being nervous every time you come close. I'm trying to get used to it but... you're too good for me to stay close to...."
The boy mumbled the last sentence in a rush as he felt himself blush intensely. He tried, but he just failed miserably. It was going to take a long time for him to get used to Nensu and her getting closer to him.

Hiems shrugged. Of course, they were at a shopping mall. What else would she have suggested to go there for?
"Alright, let's get to it then."

[AngelBites15]

In truth, Nensu didn't know exactly what she was even doing. She wasn't even sure, whether if the actions she was expressing, were even the right ones. She was only mimicking what those couples did in the movies, hoping that they would be the actions necessary for these kinds of things, but then the awkwardness wasn't entirely her: Midoriya was having trouble getting used to these kinds of actions. She listened, and kept an eye on the expressions that he was expressing before her, in addition he made sure that her attention was kept, just by his gesture of placing his hands upon her arms, that were still wrapped around his waste. She gasped at the last sentence that he managed to spew.
The teenaged girl wanted to bring her tightening grip back, but then remembered, that it took patience and caution. She was going to wait for him, until there was some sort of sign that it was okay to proceed.
"I..."
She was now trying to find words herself, as well, to the point that she was starting to tremble. What would be the safest approach?
"Ask me, then. Tell me what you want me to do".
Nensu said softly, almost nervously, having to wonder, whether or not, it was the best approach.

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya gripped the girl's arms gently. What did he want her to do? He surely knew what made him nervous- probably almost anything Nensu did as their mood got deeper. He was just not used to things like that. With all the experiences he was getting used to it slowly. But that wasn't fast enough-anything closer than a hand held could easily make him blush.
"I..."
So what did he want her to do? He didn't really dislike her choice of moves. Leaving things silent and awkward was... not preferrable. His hand reached for his cheek and scratched it as the green haired boy tried to think of a good answer to settle things down. He went to his usual mumbling that jumped out when he got submerged in his own thoughts. 'Everything is fine, I just can't get used to it fast enough...'
"I... I'm trying to get used to it, but I'm not fast enough. You're fine, I just... hope you won't... 'surprise' me a lot like you do."
He finally said.
"N...not that I don't like surprises, it's just too much for my heart..."

[AngelBites15]

Nensu was looking at Midoriya’s face from the side, as she stood behind him, while listening intently on what and how he felt about their current situation. He was having trouble adjusting to the constant affection.
‘Maybe I should slow down? Not make it so sudden?’
She thought, as she looked to the side, at the floor, looking deep in thought. ’I should be careful then. He’s obviously not very used to this’
“I can go slow, if you prefer, Midoriya. Perhaps let you know before I do something? So you can prepare yourself?”
She softly asked him, having to care a bit more about his take on the matter than her own; like he comes first, and nothing else.

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya's hands were now gathered together, fidgeting the fingers as he listened to Nensu's voice ringing from next to his head. Yes, maybe he'd be better if she warned him of what came next. He'll know what would happen, and brace himself for it. Slightly better than being struck surprise. Though he didn't want to lose the joy of surprise, he didn't want her to feel bad about what she did either. The green haired boy slowly leaned his head towards Nensu's, gently pressing his cheek against hers.
"...yes. Thank you."
He said.

[AngelBites15]

As soon as she heard his answer, Nensu could only release the breath she didn’t remember holding in. As she had promised, the girl was patient with him, and if he wanted to go slow, Nensu was willing keep her word. Having to feel his cheek rest itself against her own, the female Todoroki let out a comforting purr, before carefully resting herself against him.
“I’ll do what I can, Izuku”.
She whispered to him, as she closed her eyes, and just settled into the embrace. Nensu wasn’t sure if she was doing this right, but judging by the amount of comfort he was displaying, it just felt right.

[AlternateMan]

"I'll do my best too."
Midoriya rested with Nensu for a little while. 'Here's to less awkward hugs.' He thought as he reached for Nensu's hands and gently pat them. If only he was more used to these situations, things might've been more sweet. The green haired boy felt the girl's cheek press against his face, until he finally decided to pull off. It was starting to get awkward just standing in the middle of the mall cuddling intensely. Maybe the owner of the store was staring holes into the couple from behind them. He never knew.
"So... should we move on?"
He said.

[AngelBites15]

Hearing the other whisper to her, Nensu snapped out of the trance of being in his arms, and came right back into reality, only to find themselves still in the middle of the store, wearing the hoodies they have yet to pay for.
“Right. S-sorry”
She said, before pulling herself away, and let him have his way of going throughout the store. This was going to be a long day.

They were only in the mall for a good couple of hours, with Nensu paying for some of the things, as she wouldn’t let Izuku do all of the work. Most of the things they were able to catch involved Pro-Hero memorabilia, and nothing made Izuku smile more than see such things. Of course, all that really mattered was the the presence of each other. Only did things go south, was after Nensu decided to use the restroom, leaving Midoriya in the middle of the mall, with some of their stuff.

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya was sitting at a bench alone, waiting for Nensu to return from the restroom. His mind was still in a daze after the blast of a date they've had so far. Not to mention the pro hero goods they shopped at the gigantic mall. The green haired boy was too busy reminding himself of the events that happened that day when a hooded stranger approached him.
"Woah, a UA student! Can I talk to you a bit?"
A hooded figure threw an arm around him as he sat down next to Midoriya. With no time to react, the teenager was caught by surprise. A hand reached for his neck, leaving only one finger off the delicate part of the boy. Frightened, Midoriya tried to call out for help, but the figure moved around his finger threateningly.
"Don't think about doing anything stupid."
He said.

It was Shigaraki Tomura, head of the League of Villains. He had paid a 'surprise visit' on Midoriya, questioning the difference between him and Stain- how the Hero Killer got so much attention and sympathy, when he didn't. The villain found it unfair that such treatment could happen. Midoriya tried to break out whenever he saw the possibility to, but Tomura was too alert to wriggle out of. Every time he thought there was a suspicious move, even a flinch, he tightened his grip, yet being stealthy enough to not have anyone passing by notice. In their breathtaking conversation, the villain soon reached his conclusion- everything, everything had to do with All Might. And he was going to prove that the hero was wrong. He will kill him, no matter what it took.

From his wretched smile, Midoriya could sense the obvious hatred and madness swelling inside this villain that had commenced attacks at the UA. He had to stop him, but only if he could get out of this sticky situation...

[AngelBites15]

Meanwhile, Nensu was just washing her hands, after having to use up her time on taking a break. As soon as she was able to dry her hands, the hair-differing teenager looked at herself in the mirror, and went through her mind of how good the date was progressing; so far, so good. She knew it was going to take time for Midoriya to get used to such things, but once more, Nensu had the patience of an owl, whose willing to even wait forever ‘til she could do anything else that involved such close intimacy.

All-the-while, the girl smiled to herself, as she thought on that discussion she had with Midnight. Was a spark, possible? Yes, it could, and this very day proved that what was unfolding, was genuine yet full-fledged. To get her mind straight on the order, it was Izuku Midoriya, who brought her out of the abyss, into something they were willing to experience together.

Internally, Nensu was proud of his courage, and his own kindness was reciprocated, once she accepted to such an arrangement. So, here they were.

Just as she was leaving the restroom, the teen managed to catch sight of the green-haired boy sitting, but he wasn’t alone. She figured that it was perhaps a friend, but as they walked closer, there was something in the air; a spine-tingling feeling that told her, that something wasn’t right. To see the tears building up in her companions, and the bony fingers wrapped around his neck, a chill went down her spine, and her eyes widened - especially after this individual managed to turn his head to face her.
“Um, may I ask you to let go of him?”
This man was familiar. Very familiar...

[AlternateMan]

Tomura faltered for a moment. His eyes, shaded under the hoodie, scanned the girl standing in front of the two of them. Yes, he remembered her. How could he forget? She showed some.. 'impressive' works at the festival. The villain released Midoriya, and raised his hands into the air as the teen clutched his neck coughing for breath.
"Ah, sorry, didn't expect you to have a friend with you."
He said.
"Don't try to follow me or I'll kill you."
Before they could say anything, Tomura vanished into the crowd.

Midoriya caught his breath and looked up to Nensu. At the best timing, she came to save the day. He couldn't smile to assure her this time- Tomura's threat was real.
"Th....thank you."
He said, his voice still rough and frightened. He pulled himself up from the bench, but failed and crashed back on the wooden structure.
"He... came out of nowhere."

[AngelBites15]

Nensu watched as this man managed to release Midoriya from his grip. That voice...it sounded so familiar. Wait a minute! That man from the USJ; the one who managed to lead the other villains into the facility, as well as lay the hurt upon both her and Aizawa. Could it be him? The same man? A chill went down her spine at the thought, right as she watched him disappear into the crowd. By the time he did so, she ran to Izuku’s side immediately.
“Are you alright? What happened?”
The teen waited until the other managed to catch his breath. She sat beside him, by the time he collapsed.
“Izuku, who was that?”
She was obviously concerned yet slightly scared. Could there be more of them somewhere in the mall? If so, what did they want? What was their plan?

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya slumped himself against Nensu. The sudden release from great tension took away his will to fight. He needed to relax first. For Nensu's question, her awaited answer came after a minute or two of the frightened boy slowing down his breath while clutching onto her arm. By the time he opened his mouth again, his eyes were evidently calmer than when she found him with the stranger.
"He... he was Shigaraki Tomura, the head of the League of Villains."
He said.
"He came to talk... about... things. The incident before with Stain. His, their, first raid at USJ, those kind of things."
Midoriya reached for his neck. The pressure of the grip still felt vivid.
"And he came to a conclusion... that it was all because of All Might."
'Everything.' He mouthed that word. All he could think of was all the recent shenanigans the League of Villains and Stain pulled out recently, but he had a feeling there might be something more than that to the 'Everything' Tomura had said.
"We have to call the police..."

[AngelBites15]

Nensu watched as the green-haired teen tried to catch his breath, as well as her his thoughts together on the assault. For her, it was a rather disturbing scene, and it only made her more worried, especially since the man’s visit could be a sign that someone else, fitting his motive, could be nearby. Perhaps he had backup, hiding somewhere? Maybe he came alone? She didn’t know, and the notion to think of any possible answer, would only increase her fears.
His answer may have confirmed her wonders on who he was, but it didn’t help their current situation, nor relieve her anxiety. He was the one who led the assault on the USJ: Shigaraki Tomura. She kept it in her mind, probably for the longest of time.
Nensu couldn’t agree more, to get the police involved, and so, the girl called them immediately. She stayed close with Izuku, while they waited, to the point where she kept him close, and held his hand, the whole time.

By the time they came, the whole mall was evacuated, but then, they found no trace of Shigaraki. The man seemed to have disappeared almost completely, as soon as he had appeared. They have managed to take the pair to the station, where Midoriya was interviewed about the encounter. The more they knew about this “leader”, the bigger the chance to find the entire faction itself.
Nensu waited in the main room, where she noticed a woman with green hair and matching eyes enter the station, in what seemed to be a panic, or a meltdown. What struck the girl more, is the fact that this woman looked a lot like Izuku. “Excuse me? Are you Mrs. Midoriya?”, Nensu placed a gentle, comforting hand on the woman’s shoulder, hoping the contact would allow her to relax.

[AlternateMan]

Midoriya's mom turned to Nensu at the mention of 'Midoriya'. She wiped a droplet of tear off her face and looked at the girl.
"H..hello. Are you Izuku's friend?"
She asked.

Midoriya was dismissed quickly after a few questions about the encounter. The officer gave him a pat in the back, saying he did the best he could. After leaving the interrogation room, the boy was greeted by Nensu and his mother sitting at the main room.
"...mom?"
He said. Mrs. Midoriya bolted up at the sight of her son and crashed into him. Midoriya heard her sob as he nervously pat her back. He gave a short glance at Nensu.

[AngelBites15]

Judging by this woman's features, Nensu had to assume that she was Izuku's mother, and by her response to what the teenaged girl called her, she was mentally right. Before she could even acknowledge or answer the question, the boy had already left the talk room...until the woman practically crashed into him, clearly very worried and scared for the wellbeing of her son.
The girl didn't know what else to say, considering that there was rather a very awkward tension in the air, considering that Mrs. Midoriya probably had no idea that she and her son were even dating, before Shigaraki showed up. Nensu stood up from the chair, and lightly hugged herself.
What was she supposed to say to help ease the feeling? The last thing she wanted, was the worry the poor woman even more.
