Moving into The 1-B Dorm

Two Hours After Classes

The teachers received a message from Nezu to meet in the conference room. When they arrived, they were surprised to see All Might and Nezu already in the room.

"Why are we here?" Aizawa asked as he sat down. "Did you find more evidence on Midoriya being the traitor?"

"Shota, enough with all this traitor talk." Midnight scolded her friend. "Midoriya is not the traitor."

"During his last class, Midoriya ran out and rushed to the infirmary. While he was there, he mentioned to Chiyo and All Might that his classmates were blatantly discriminating against the quirkless population despite knowing that Ragdoll had her quirk stolen by the villain in Kamino." Nezu stated, looking at the erasure hero. "What I want to know, Aizawa, is why you were sleeping during this discussion."

"I did not think there was any reason for me to be involved in the discussion." Aizawa explained.

"Aizawa," Snipe growled. "You know that Mirio became quirkless after he was hit by a quirk-erasin' bullet during the Shie Hassaikai Raid. Now your students are disrespectin' the quirkless despite the fact that Midoriya and three of your students were a part of the same raid knowin' that he lost Permeation. If I find out that any of those three kids were discriminatin' against the quirklessโ€ฆ"

"That won't be necessary, Snipe." Nezu stated, interrupting the cowboy-themed hero. "Once we know who was discriminating, they will be punished accordingly."

"My niece who resides in I-Island is also quirkless. She helped the young heroes that were there save her home and they forgot that she's quirkless. Your students said that the quirkless gives more responsibility to the heroes but without her intelligence and help, I-Island would still be under the villains' control." All Might said, glaring at the sleep deprived hero.

"I don't think you're aware of the discrimination that the quirkless goes through. If you're not aware of our world's history but when quirks first appeared, then let me educate you. Your ancestors were discriminated against because they were once the minority. But now, the quirkless suffer from that same discrimination because they are now the minority. The quirkless are now 1 in 20 people." Nezu explained.

"Clearly I made a mistake in sleeping during that discussion. But I didn't think it would get this far." Aizawa said, making All Might and Nezu looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"Nothing ever goes too far for you." All Might muttered.

"Recovery Girl and I fear that Midoriya feels unsafe among his classmates now that a certain accusation is looming in the air." Nezu stated, looking at Aizawa with disapproval. The other teachers sans Present Mic also glared at the erasure hero, realizing what he had done. "Therefore I am allowing Midoriya to be moved to the 1-B dorm. Since he is on sick leave for his stomach virus, he will return to classes when he feels better."

"You can't actually believe that Midoriya feels unsafe among his classmates. If anything, they are unsafe with him." Aizawa said.

"Are you aware that Ashido and Uraraka tried to harm Young Midoriya the last two days?" All Might asked harshly. "Uraraka tried to break his arm and when I told her to stop, she didn't stop. Ashido intentionally tried to melt his arm yesterday and his teammates didn't defend him or reprimand her for doing such a villainous act. I had to disqualify their team as a result."

"Uraraka tried to break Midoriya's arm? Midnight asked in shock. "That's not good."

"What do you mean?" Present Mic asked.

"What do you think, Hizashi? Have you seen the way that Midoriya's classmates look at him?" Midnight asked. "Uraraka saved Midoriya during the Joint Training and he thanked her. Now she's treating him like he's an enemy and tried to break his arm. He's going to lose feelings for her, if he hasn't already. All over a misunderstanding."

"There is no misunderstanding. Midoriya is the UA traitor." Aizawa said, making Midnight glare at him. "I say we just get this over with and have him arrested."

"Enough!" Nezu exclaimed, stunning the teachers since they never heard him yell.

"When Detective Tsukauchi returns, we will have him ask Midoriya the necessary questions. When Midoriya is proven innocent, he will have the final say of what punishment he wants for his class for what they have done to him. But for now, the students who showed blatant discrimination, they will receive one week of detention after they come back from seeing their families. Ashido and Uraraka will also give Midoriya a written apology for trying to do bodily harm to him. Kayama, you will be in charge of the detention." Nezu stated.

"Of course." Midnight said.

"Is detention necessary?" Aizawa asked, trying to argue his case. "Clearly I can talk to them and it won't happen again."

"What did you say, Aizawa?" Nezu asked sternly. "Yes, it is absolutely necessary. I will not allow this type of behavior from future heroes. I gave you too much control over your class and with that, you decided to expel your students over the past years. That power is being revoked. You and Kan were given the files of all forty hero course students and you neglected to notice that Midoriya was quirkless before entering UA."

"You know I never look at the files." Aizawa bluntly said.

"Of course not. I was aware of the change in Midoriya's quirk registration form. We know that the only reason you wanted the kid was so that you could expel him with your excuse of him having no potential but he showed more heart than anyone else during the exam. He proved you wrong and even then, you have the guts to accuse him of being the traitor because of a notebook. Even if he wrote all the information of his classmates, you need concrete evidence and a notebook doesn't prove anything." Vlad King said gruffly.

"Vlad, that is enough. Clearly Aizawa's mind will not be swayed so there is no point in arguing with him." Nezu stated.

"Very well, Principal Nezu." The blood hero said with a huff.

"All Might has been given the order to inform Class A that Midoriya will be moving tomorrow and will find out who was being discriminant. Vlad King, you will tell your students about their new dorm mate."

"Of course, sir." Vlad King said.

'With the ostracization from his class, I wouldn't be surprised if Midoriya stays in the 1-B dorm indefinitely.' Nezu thought. 'Thank you, Ms. Kendo, for giving me the idea to move Midoriya in the first place.'

The next day, All Might walked into the 1-A dorm to see if he could find young Bakugou.

"Good morning, All Might." Young Iida bowed to the former Symbol of Peace when he walked into the common room.

"Good morning, young Iida." All Might said, nodding his head to the class rep. "I'm looking for young Bakugou."

"Right here." Young Bakugou called out from the kitchen. "I'm making the nerd breakfast."

All Might was surprised that the young hero in training was making his successor breakfast.

"Is there any particular reason that you are here?" The class rep asked.

"Yes, Young Midoriya ran into the infirmary yesterday during his last class and when I went to ask what happened, he said that his classmates were saying terrible things about the quirkless." All Might stated. "My question is, who are the ones that did this?"

"It was Four Eyes, Ponytail, Sparky, Raccoon Eyes, Round Face, Frog and Birthday Suit." Young Bakugou said from the kitchen, finishing up the curry.

All Might looked at Bakugou in confusion. "Young Bakugou, I don't understand these names."

"He means Iida, Yaoyorozu, Kaminari, Ashido, Uraraka, Asui and Hagakure." Young Todoroki translated in his monotone voice.

"What the hell, Bakugou?!" Ashido exclaimed.

"Shut it, Raccoon Eyes." Young Bakugou glared at Ashido. "You looked down on the quirkless. Some hero you are, calling a kid stupid. You're the complete definition of stupid after what you tried to do to the nerd."

"You should be ashamed of yourselves." All Might said with a somber tone. The accused students looked at him in disbelief.

"All Might, you don't mean that." Yaoyorozu said in shock that the former number one hero said such a thing.

"Have you forgotten about Melissa at I-Island? She is quirkless. Was she being selfish and irresponsible when she helped you young heroes save her home? Do you think Ragdoll asked to have her quirk stolen by All For One?" All Might asked in anger rhetorically. "Did you know that the young boy that saved his friend from the Sludge Villain was the only person that did something while Kamui Woods, Death Arms and Mount Lady were standing there and watching that boy being held hostage suffocate?"

Katsuki did not like being reminded of that incident but he had to hear it because these extras need to act more like heroes like the nerd naturally is. Round Face, Ponytail, Sparky and Glasses clearly forgot about Melissa. From what he heard about her from the nerd, she was a bigger nerd like her old man who worked with All Might when he debuted in America. He was the brains behind All Might's legendary costumes. The accused extras looked ashamed and almost horrified that they forgot Ragdoll.

"Principal Nezu said that when you return after New Year's, you will have detention with Midnight after class. Ashido and Uraraka, you're going to give young Midoriya a written apology for what you have tried to do to him the last two days." All Might explained the orders that the chimera gave him.

"This can't be necessary." Iida said.

"Are you questioning the principal, Iida?" All Might asked, a sharp look in his eyes.

"No sir."

"Good. Now I need to go see Young Midoriya to talk about his move to the 1-B dorm." All Might said.

"Why is Deku moving to the 1-B dorm?" Uraraka asked.

"It's simple. You turned your backs on him so why should he stay here?" All Might asked as he went up the stairs.

"I'll go with you. I need to give the nerd his breakfast." Young Bakugou said, filling a rice-filled bowl with curry and getting out of the kitchen to go up the stairs.

"Me too." Young Todoroki grabbed a bottle of water.

"๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐— ๐—ข๐—ฅ๐—ก๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—œ๐—ฆ ๐—›๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—˜! ๐—ง๐—›๐—˜ ๐— ๐—ข๐—ฅ -"

Usually whenever the All Might alarm on his phone went off, he would jump in surprise before quickly turning off the alarm and getting out of bed to get started with his day. Not today, since he was on sick leave because of his former friends so he set it for seven. In fact, the alarm to wake him up was pretty much unnecessary since he had already stayed up all night, staring vacantly at the ceiling so he slowly picked up his phone and turned it off.

He heard a knock on his door. He sat up, wondering who it was. He hoped it wasn't the stick in the mud. He was about to lay back down when he heard the voice of whoever was knocking.

"Young Midoriya, are you awake?" He heard All Might's voice from outside his room.

Izuku got up from his bed and opened the door. He was surprised to see Shoto and Kacchan with his mentor who had a conflicted look on his face. "All Might, good morning. What are you doing here?"

"Good morning, my boy. May we come in?" All Might asked.

"Yes." Izuku said, going back to his bed. He was shocked to see Kacchan carrying a bowl of curry and rice, which he put on the table.

The former Symbol of Peace looked shocked at Izuku's state. "Young Midoriya, what happened to you? Didn't you sleep last night?"

Izuku shook his head. "I can't sleep. I don't want to see them again. I don't want to hear them again."

"Who, my boy?" All Might asked with a concerned tone.

"My former bullies. I know that if I go to sleep, I'm going to have nightmares." Izuku explained.

Shoto glared at Kacchan, making him look guilty.

The former hero sighed. "I'll talk to Recovery Girl to prescribe you some sleeping pills. The reason I am here is to tell you that you'll be moving to the 1-B dorm."

"Why?" Izuku asked in shock. But he was internally happy because his prayer was answered in the best way possible.

"Principal Nezu doesn't want you to be here if you feel unsafe among your classmates." All Might explained.

Izuku looked betrayed when he heard what his idol said. "All Might, you said that you wouldn't.."

All Might put his hand up to stop his successor. "I didn't tell Principal Nezu anything. He was watching through the camera. I apologize." He stated. 'I'm sorry, my boy. It hurts me to lie to you. Please forgive me.'

"That doesn't make me feel any better but at least I'm going to be somewhere else other than being here while my classmates hate me." Izuku said with a sense of gratitude in his tone.

"If it makes you feel better, young Bakugou listed off the students that discriminated against the quirkless. They will receive detention with Midnight monitoring them after you come back for New Years." All Might admitted.

"It sounds a little harsh but it's worth it." Izuku said.

"Don't feel sorry for those extras, you damn nerd." Kacchan said.

"We'll leave you to eat your breakfast. Take care during your sick leave." All Might said, putting a comforting hand on Izuku's shoulder. The three of them left his room.

After Izuku was done eating, he put the bowl down. 'I guess I better start packing.'

"I will inform Principal Nezu that Iida is the one that gave Aizawa the notebook." All Might said. "Thank you for telling me."

"Of course." Young Todoroki said. "How long until this will be over?"

"I do not know, Young Todoroki. Until Tsukauchi comes back, we are sitting ducks." All Might admitted. "I'm glad that young Midoriya has friends that care about him."

"The nerd is not my friend." Young Bakugou muttered.

"But you still care about him, young Bakugou." All Might said. "I will take my leave."

Izuku started going back up the stairs when Iida stood in the way of the staircase.

"What do you want?" Izuku asked in an annoyed voice.

"I don't appreciate how you managed to manipulate Kendo into being your friend, ๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ๐˜ถ." Iida said with narrowed eyes, looking at the greenette with disgust.

"Excuse me?" Izuku glared at Iida. "I didn't manipulate Itsuka into being my friend. She's nice to me while you of all people treat me like crap. Some class rep you turned out to be, looking down on the quirkless. You deserve to be in detention. I wonder how disappointed your brother would be when he finds this out."

"Do not speak of my brother, you villain." Iida growled. "What right do you have to call Kendo by her first name?"

"She let me say it so I suggest you learn to respect women." Izuku growled back. "Let's say things that we aren't, you self-righteous prick. If I'm a villain, then you're a perfect hero." The greenette looked at Iida, rage glowing in his eyes that his former friend called him a villain.

"I'm a hero unlike you, ๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ๐˜ถ." Iida said.

"A hero bent on vengeance." Izuku clenched his fists, tired of hearing these idiots call him Deku. "Don't think just because you stopped Kaibara and Honenuki from taking out Ojiro and Shoto in the Joint Training that it makes up for Hosu. That was all your fault, Mr. That quirkless boy was selfish and irresponsible. Maybe you should look into the mirror sometimes and repeat those last three words."

"As the class representative, I ask you.."

"Screw you being the class rep. You never earned the role. You let the power get to your head. Get out of the way or else, Iida." Izuku threatened as green lightning was emanating around his body. 'One For All: Full Cowling'

"If you think of putting your hands on me, you are in trouble." Iida said.

'He has some kind of plan. He's a real bigmouth and he's still really predictable.' Izuku thought and smirked. "Who said I need to put my hands on you? I mean I guess you're a sexist if you can't respect a fellow class rep from what I saw yesterday."

"You villain!" Iida yelled as he tried to punch Izuku. The latter dodged the punch and jumped away from the class rep.

"If I'm a villain then you're a true hero." Izuku repeated in a taunting way, using his quirk to jump away from Iida's punch once more.

"You're a member of the Iida family. You're supposed to be fast but you're so slow." Izuku taunted.

Ice encased Iida's legs, stopping him in his tracks. Izuku deactivated One For All, realizing what happened.

"Damn it, nerd. Stop trying to prove a point to these extras." Kacchan grumbled as he and Shoto walked towards the two of them.

"Kacchan."

"Go on. Get packing." Kacchan said.

"Enjoy your time at the 1-B dorm." Shoto said.

"Thanks, you guys. I owe you one." Izuku turned to Iida with a look of disdain. "Iida, I suggest next time, mind your own business when it comes to Itsuka. She's more of a better person than you would ever be and a better class rep. At least she earned the right to be class rep while you were offered the role. Just remember that if I stayed on that bullet train instead of looking for you, you would not even be here today. Pray that I don't come back to class because I will turn you inside out in training. Scumbag."

He turned to the rest of the class with a cold glare, who felt very uncomfortable with how he was staring at them. The bags under his eyes complimented how dull his eyes were in a scary way.

"As for the rest of you, I'm pretty much aware none of you consider me your friend anymore. So I'm returning the favor and saying that I don't consider any of you my friends either except Shoto and Kacchan. Melissa, Ragdoll and a certain senpai would be disappointed in you bigots. I don't care if you hate me. I'm cutting off my ties with you all. Fuck all of you."

Izuku walked up the stairs to his room. He didn't take note of the looks of regret on a few faces. "Have a horrible day."

"Oi nerd, I'm not your friend!" Katsuki yelled at Izuku but he was proud to see his childhood friend finally standing up for himself, a little surprised that he cursed.

"I'm actually surprised with Izuku. He managed all of that. He's actually serious about cutting ties with everybody else in the class except us." Shoto said once he heard the door close.

"Bakugou, why would you let that villain leave?" Iida asked and the ice got closer to his midsection.

"Say that word about Izuku again and I'll make sure you'll have a close relationship with frostbite." Shoto threatened.

"Todoroki, why are you protecting Midoriya by threatening Iida?" Yaoyorozu asked.

"I'm not going to repeat what I said the day that Aizawa said that Izuku is a traitor, Yaoyorozu. He would never betray us." Shoto stated.

"Are you fucking serious, Four Eyes?" Katsuki growled, turning to Iida. "It's one thing to give Izuku the cold shoulder but to call him a villain to his face, call him Deku and coerce him into a fight? You're already on thin ice for discriminating against the quirkless as the class rep."

"The evidence clearly points to ๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ๐˜ถ as the traitor." Iida said and the ice reached a little higher.

"What did I say?" Shoto asked coldly. "Your evidence is wrong. They are nothing but assumptions and accusations since you're the one who invaded his privacy. Instead of asking Izuku what is in his notebook, you took it upon yourself to give it to Aizawa without asking him."

"The nerd is much better off at Class B. You extras are supposed to be his friends and you turned on him so I don't know you're being a bitch about it. Especially you, Round Face." Katsuki looked at the said brunette with disgust. "You've been by his side and even you turned your back on him."

A part of Uraraka didn't want to admit it but she felt jealous that the boy she has a crush on is calling another girl by her first name. But the (rational) fearful part of her (should've asked) hated him for what he wrote about her. "I don't know what to believe. You saw what was written about me in that notebook. Plus he almost could have killed me when that quirk of his went crazy."

"But he wouldn't kill you. That's not who Izuku is, Uraraka." Shoto stated as Bakugo went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. "You and Shinso stopped him before it got out of control any further. You were his first friend and even you turned your back on him. You all constantly treat him like he's a villain so he's doing what's best and distancing himself from you."

"Why would you not think he's a member of the League undercover or he got that quirk from All For One?" Iida asked before Shoto released him from his ice prison.

"Are you still continuing with that assumption? If he even was familiar with All For One, he would have betrayed us in Kamino but he didn't." Shoto calmly explained to Iida. "Izuku made a plan to get Bakugou out of there so All Might can fight All For One without holding back and he did. Even on Nabu Island, you trusted him to save everyone there. Now you're all letting your fear over one notebook and a quirk cloud your judgment and you're saying that he got his quirk from All For One when it's been a few months since he's been arrested. Have you ever thought that his quirk is like mine, that he has just the one quirk and it has more than one attribute to it?"

"There's no point in reasoning with them, Todoroki." Katsuki said, narrowing his eyes as he walked back to the said boy. "They're bent on making Izuku suffer. When you know what he had for you in that notebook, you'll be begging him to forgive you, Round Face. I bet Four Eyes knows but he won't say anything because he wants to hog the spotlight."

"Iida, do you know what's in that notebook?" Uraraka asked.

"He has your weaknesses listed in that notebook." Iida stated.

"Is that it?" Shoto asked calmly. "That's all you saw in the notebook?"

"Yes." Iida said.

Katsuki scoffed. "You're an idiot, Four Eyes. A real coward."

"Why don't you tell us what's in ๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ๐˜ถ'๐˜ด notebook, Bakugou?" Round Face asked.

"I don't owe you an explanation. You screwed Izuku over so now you suffer. You're not his friend anymore so don't even think of asking him what's in that notebook. You should have done that after Four Eyes took it from his room and told us." Katsuki growled at her and glared at Kirishima. "Honestly I'm disappointed in you extras."

Before anyone could say anything, Katsuki walked out of the dorm to go to class. "Stupid extras."

'I hope the nerd sees the note about taking the curry with him.'

"Midoriya is going to be living here." Vlad King stated.

His students looked at him with wide eyes. The blood hero couldn't see it but the orange-haired class rep of his class was internally jumping up and down in happiness.

When Itsuka thought that Izuku should stay here forever, she didn't think her wish would come true. '๐˜ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด! ๐˜ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด! ๐˜๐˜ป๐˜ถ๐˜ฌ๐˜ถ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ. ๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜บ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ด, ๐˜Š๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ด 1๏ผ๐˜ˆ. ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ซ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ข ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ.'

"For how long?" Tetsutetsu asked.

"I'm not sure but he will be staying here."

"There's something I should tell you all. Midoriya is being accused of being the UA mole and giving the information on his classmates to the League. Eraser took his notebook and said that he's the traitor. Personally, me or the other teachers don't believe it because we saw what was in the notebook. In the notebook, there are strengths to fix the weaknesses and he even drew support items to help his classmates to counter them. Midoriya doesn't know it and we want to keep it that way for his safety. I just hope Nezu is doing the right thing by not telling him. So please treat him like he's one of your own." After he was done, there were no looks of surprise or shock on the faces of his students this time.

That made Vlad King realize that his students knew about the accusation. He looked at the class rep. "Kendo, by any chance, did you tell your classmates what I told you after the meeting?"

"Yes sir. I told them what you told me." Kendo said without hesitation.

The blood hero sighed in relief. "Kendo."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Vlad but I had to tell them. Izuku's classmates turned on him for a week now and then Iida and Yaoyorozu approached me when Set, Yui, Tetsutetsu and I were sitting at his table during lunch yesterday to talk privately. After I denied their little offer, I feared that the two of them would tell the others about the traitor suspicion so I told the class in the group chat to not talk to anyone in Class A besides Izuku and that we would talk later. Then Bakugo came up to us to tell me via text message that Iida is the one who took Izuku's notebook and gave it to Aizawa, accusing him of everything from the notebook to the new quirk." Kendo explained.

Kendo didn't feel the tears in her eyes. "Then Izuku said his classmates made him feel like a ๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ๐˜ถ again. That he was a failure because he couldn't save Sir Nighteye. He felt that he didn't deserve to be a hero anymore. He said that he should have died at the hands of Shigaraki or Muscular so Class A would be free of the burden he thinks that he is. How could someone who has done so much for this school want to die at the hands of the people that he's working with? It's just not possible and I had to reassure him that he was not a ๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ๐˜ถ, a failure or a burden. He deserves so much better and Class A is trying to make him suffer over a stupid misunderstanding."

Vlad King put a hand on the ginger's shoulder. "Kendo. Calm down. I'm not mad at you for telling them."

"You're not?" Kendo asked, now realizing that she was crying. The girls comforted her with a hug.

"No. You did the right thing. I'm shocked to hear that Iida is the one who took Midoriya's notebook in the first place because Eraser didn't say anything about that." Vlad King said, shocked at this revelation. "Also first name basis? Not Midoriya?"

Kendo blushed in embarrassment, realizing that she called her crush by his first name in front of her homeroom teacher. "You see, the thing isโ€ฆ"

"Prez has the googly eyes for my bestie." Tokage said with a wide grin.

"Set!" Kendo exclaimed in exasperation.

"Sorry not sorry Prez." Tokage said.

"I'm not surprised since you ran out of class yesterday to go see him in the infirmary." Vlad King said.

Kendo blushed in embarrassment.

"Why would Mr. Aizawa think that Midoriya is the traitor?" Shiozaki asked. "Midoriya is too kind-hearted to do such a thing."

"Eraser is hell-bent on finding the traitor after the attack on the training camp since his student was taken by the League. But that notebook is not enough evidence to prove that Midoriya is the traitor. Besides, he saved Mandalay's nephew from the villain that killed his parents at the camp, almost destroying his arms. Second, he saved Mandalay and third, he's the only one in his class that calls Bakugo 'Kacchan' which helped since Mandalay used Telepath to tell us why the League was even at the Training Camp. Even if in the end Bakugou got taken by the League, it's unlikely that Midoriya was the traitor because he would have saved his own hide but he went back to find Bakugou. Even Mandalay couldn't stop him as he ran past her."

"Then there's also the USJ attack. From what I heard, Midoriya was in the Shipwreck zone with Asui and Mineta. If he was the traitor, the purple mist villain would have sent Asui somewhere away from water such as the Configuration Zone. Plus Snipe said that he saw Shigaraki almost use his quirk on Midoriya when he ran to stop the villain from trying to kill All Might so that proves that he's not the mole."

"Can I just punch Iida for being a terrible class rep?" Kendo asked, angrily crossing her arms.

"No, Kendo. You're excused from classes anyways." Vlad King, shocking the said girl.

"What?" Kendo blinked in confusion. "Why?"

"Your job is to make sure that Midoriya feels comfortable during his sick leave since he will be alone here." The blood hero explained. "I don't know how long he will be staying here, but with the traitor accusation, I won't be surprised if he stays here indefinitely and personally, I would let him."

"Ok. I will do my job as class rep and make him feel welcome." Kendo said, the blush on her face betraying her words.

"Just don't do anything to leave Greenie all flustered like you were yesterday." Tokage teased.

Kendo gave her a neck chop and the greenette's head fell off. At this point, the class wasn't surprised by the self amputating lizard girl's antics.

"Itsuka. Please do not behead Setsuna." Shiozaki said. "And Setsuna, please stop teasing Itsuka."

Tokage pouted and blew a raspberry, her head then floated back to her body and reattached itself.

"Guess I can go change into my gym uniform." Itsuka said. "What floor is he going to be staying on?"

"The third floor," Vlad King said. "He'll be staying in the empty room."

"Oh yeah. Me and Midoriya are going to be floor mates." Tetsutetsu said excitedly. Honenuki nodded in agreement.

"What about class rep priorities?" Kendo asked.

"It's fine, Kendo. One of us can handle it. We'll try not to create too much chaos." Monoma said.

"I find that hard to believe." Itsuka said bluntly.

"I got this, Kendo." Shoda said.

Izuku was surprised to see the familiar figure standing outside the 1-B dorm as he carried a third of the boxes.

"Morning Izuku." Itsuka waved at her crush.

"Itsuka? Good morning." Izuku looked confused. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in class right now? Did you get house arrest? Did I get you in trouble? Why do I sound like Hado senpai asking so many questions?"

"AC-CHOO!"

"Are you okay, Nejire?" Class 3-A's Yuyu Haya asked. "That sounded like a big sneeze."

"I'm okay." Nejire Hado said. "Hey hey, how do you think this would look on me?"

The periwinkle-haired girl took out a coat and put it against her to try on.

Itsuka giggled at his rapid-fire questions. She hugged him when he put the boxes down. "Easy there. Mr. Vlad gave me the week off to help you with your 'sick leave' so no class and no house arrest." The ginger explained.

"That makes more sense." Izuku said bashfully. "I'm sorry for assuming."

"You don't have to apologize for that." She noticed the state Izuku was in. "You look like a mess. Didn't you get any sleep last night?"

"Not really. I know that if I go to sleep, I'm going to have nightmares. Not something I'm looking forward to again." Izuku admitted grimly.

'Izuku.' Itsuka thought sadly. She hugged him again. "I'm guessing that there's more boxes."

"Yeah. I figured I'd start moving everything after everyone left for class." Izuku said.

"Great. I'll go with you to get them." Itsuka offered.

"Ok. Let's go."

They went to the 1-A dorm and Itsuka caught a whiff of Kacchan's curry. "Something smells good."

"Oh yeah. It's Kacchan's curry. He made me breakfast for some reason." Izuku said. "I guess he made a pot."

Itsuka looked shocked. "Bakugou can cook? I'm kind of surprised."

"Yeah he can cook. And he left a note." Izuku picked up the piece of note and read it. "Nerd, if you're reading this, take this with you to the Class B dorm. If you want to share it with those extras, be my guest. I don't care."

"I didn't think Bakugou was a tsundere," Itsuka said.

Izuku chuckled. "Don't let him hear you say that."

After two trips going back and forth between the two dorms to grab the rest of the boxes and another trip for Izuku to grab the curry, the two of them sat down on the couch to catch their breath. "I'm kind of glad that Vlad King gave you the week off. The trip back and forth would have doubled if I did it all alone."

"I was surprised when he said that I would be excused from classes. But I'm glad that he did because I don't think I would have gone to class either way while you were alone here." Itsuka said.

"I appreciate it, Itsuka. Thanks." Izuku said, his eyes feeling heavy. 'Crap, I'm falling asleep. Stay awake. Stay awake.'

"No problem. So since we have time to kill, why don't we.." Itsuka's words faltered when she saw Izuku lightly snoring, his head laying on the headrest of the couch.

"Izuku?" Itsuka asked quietly. "You awake?"

Itsuka facepalmed herself, realizing how stupid she sounded. 'What am I saying? Of course he's not awake. He didn't get any sleep last night.'

"Alright let's get you comfortable." Itsuka whispered. She stood up and grabbed his legs to put them on the couch. She placed his head on the armrest. "I'll get started on the coffee when you wake up."

Suddenly Izuku grabbed her hand and yanked her down to the couch where she ended up laying on top of him.

"I-Izuku!" Itsuka exclaimed. Not realizing that she called his name, the said sleeping boy put his arms around her, bringing her closer to his body, making her blush.

"..."

Her blush only deepened when she felt him nuzzle against her hair. He let out a content sigh that threatened to make her heart explode. 'He's too cute for his own good.'

She was glad that her arms were not trapped in Izuku's hold as she ran her fingers through his hair. He had spilled his past to her yesterday and he didn't get any sleep because of it. Looking at her crush, she noticed how peaceful he looked. She laid her head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat which soon lulled her to sleep.

After three hours, Izuku woke up from his unexpected nap. He blinked the drowsiness out of his eyes and yawned. He was surprised he had no nightmares. He felt his arms around something. 'That's funny. I don't remember laying down or having a body pillow when I fell asleep.'

The greenette heard a light sigh. He looked down, his eyes widened as he tried not to panic seeing his crush sleeping on his chest. 'She looks so cute. Don't freak out. Don't freak out.'

'What the fuck happened?!' He mentally screamed, his mind betraying his last thought. Itsuka jostled as if registering his mental shriek as a wake up call. She smacked her lips and looked up seeing the shocked and frightened visage of her sleeping partner.

"Morning sleepyhead." Itsuka said nonchalantly in a sleepy voice, which sounded cute to Izuku.

"Itsuka, how did we end up like this?" Izuku asked nervously.

The said girl tapped a finger to her chin. "Let's see, we sat down to relax after all of that moving. You fell asleep and then when I laid you down properly, you grabbed onto me and we're in this position." She explained.

"And you're okay with this?" Izuku asked.

"I don't mind." Itsuka said. "Do you?"

"I don't mind either. Plus t-there is something I want to say to you, that I need to tell you but I want to hold it off until after New Years because I need time to process the move and the things that are happening with them." Izuku admitted, hoping she would understand what he meant.

Itsuka was curious on what he wanted to tell but she cupped his cheek and smiled. "I'm okay with that. And you're right, you have a lot to deal with and I don't mind waiting. If we're being honest here, there is something I need to tell you as well."

"So what are we? If you don't mind me asking." Izuku said. "I'm pretty sure we're past the boundary of friends at this point."

"I guess as of now, we're cuddle buddies." The ginger said with a shrug and giggled.

"That sounds nice." Izuku said with a smile. "Should we get up now?"

"No. I want to stay like this a little longer." Itsuka said. "Did you have any nightmares while you were asleep?"

Izuku shook his head. "No. I'm kind of surprised that I didn't. Maybe I was going kind of paranoid last night thinking I was going to have nightmares."

"At least you're okay now." Itsuka looked up at her crush. "Are you?"

"Yeah." Izuku hugged Itsuka.

After half an hour of the two laying down and talking, Itsuka stood up. "You ready to take these up to your room?"

"Yeah. What floor am I on?"

"Third floor." Itsuka said. "You got the empty room so basically between Tetsutetsu and Honenuki."

"Oh cool." Izuku sat up and stretched the kinks in his body. "Alright let's go."

After they moved Izuku's stuff to his new room, they came back down to the couch. The greenette leaned against the armrest and invited Itsuka into his arms, who happily accepted. Izuku and Itsuka wouldn't admit it, but the two of them enjoyed this embrace.

"So what should we do now?" Izuku asked.

"You've been through some crazy stuff which would be great stories. You can tell me those." Itsuka offered.

"Ok. I guess I can start with the story of how I met Kota."

"This should be interesting."

Izuku blushed in embarrassment. "Trust me, it is. So we got through the Beast Forest, destroying the earth creatures. We got to the camp around 5 and we're already tired and hungry. So I walked up to Kota and put my hand out for a handshake. Then he hit me with a low blow."

Itsuka tried to stifle her laugh but failed. "Pffft. Hahahahaha." She fell on the other seat, dying of laughter. "Oh man. I can't believe it. You tried being nice and instead he hit you with a low blow."

Izuku nodded, chuckling a little. "Despite the low blow, I wanted to know why he hated us so much and when I asked Mandalay, she and Pixie-Bob told me about his parents, the Water Hose heroes. He hated us because his parents were killed because of Muscular, leaving him alone in this world. It was not just heroes or villains he hated but quirks in general."

"I remember seeing that on the news. I never realized that they had a kid. To lose your parents at such a young age, I can't imagine what he must have been feeling." Itsuka said sadly as she went back into Izuku's arms. "I guess when you saved him, it changed his perspective on heroes."

Izuku nodded with a smile. "Yeah. I still cherish the letter he wrote me to this day. I even thanked him when he came to the dorm."

Itsuka smiled at Izuku. "That's so sweet. You got yourself a fan now."

"Yeah. He even bought red shoes." Izuku said, making Itsuka giggle.

"I remember seeing his shoes. I was wondering why they looked so familiar."

"You noticed my high tops?" Izuku asked in disbelief.

Itsuka looked at Izuku with a knowing smirk. "Yeah. I got my own pair of high tops in teal. I'm surprised you didn't see me wear them when we went running a few days ago."

"I didn't notice."

"Since we're excused from classes, you'll get to see me with them for the next few days."

"Great! So did you have any crazy things happen to you?" Izuku asked.

"There is one. We were going to have a barbecue during the summer. Then Tetsutetsu said that we can use him as a grill and that his sweat would add flavor to the food. We ended up canceling the barbecue."

"Wow." Izuku deadpanned.

"But we had a second barbecue as long as Tetsutetsu kept his mouth shut about using him as a grill." Itsuka said, looking embarrassed.

Izuku chuckled. "Well at least your barbecue had a redemption."

"What about you?"

"We had a barbecue at Iโ€“Island."

Itsuka pouted. "Lucky."

"You remember when I was talking about a girl I know who's quirkless yesterday?" Izuku asked.

"Yeah?" Itsuka asked nervously.

"Her dad is the man behind All Might's legendary costumes and I got to meet him when I went to I-Island." Izuku said excitedly.

Itsuka smiled. "You really look up to All Might huh?"

Izuku blushed. "Well yeah. Growing up, I always wanted to be like All Might. He's my idol. To be in his alma mater and having him as a teacher, it's a huge honor."

"I envy you. I wish my favorite hero was a teacher at UA."

"Who's your favorite hero?" Izuku asked in curiosity.

"Mirko."

"No way. The No. 5 hero, the top strongest female pro hero, the Mirko?!"

The ginger nodded."Yeah. She's my All Might."

"That's so cool."

While Izuku and Itsuka were eating, the rest of Class B came through the door.

"Where's my bestie?!" Setuna shouted out.

Itsuka groaned in exasperation. "Oh no."

Izuku chuckled and waved at his new best friend when she came into the common room. "Hey Set."

"Alright! The GBG and Class B are here, united in full force!" Setsuna exclaimed.

"GBG?" Everyone asked in unison.

"The Green Bean Gang and Class B." Setsuna explained. "The GBG consists of me, Greenie, Ibara and Kamikiri. You guys as Class B are supporting characters." Izuku stifled his laugh but he was straining at the effort.

"Hold on, I didn't agree to any Green Bean Gang." Kamikiri said.

"We are not supporting characters." Itsuka said with narrowed eyes.

"Alright fine. No supporting characters. But the GBG is still the same." Setsuna said with a pout, making Kamikiri protest. "Why do you look so tired, Greenie?"

"Thought I was going to have nightmares last night. I didn't sleep. So basically I look like this." Izuku explained.

"Is this a common thing?" Setsuna asked,

Izuku shook his head. "Not since I was fourteen."

"So they reawakened your fear of nightmares with what they did yesterday." Yui said.

"Yeah," Izuku said, wanting to change the subject. "So how did you guys react to hearing that I was going to be living here?"

"We were surprised at first but we happily accepted it since your classmates treat you like utter garbage." Shiozaki said.

"Yeah man. You're stuck with us." Awase said.

"Thanks guys." Izuku smiled. "I really appreciate it."

"I would've picked a fight with your class and Aizawa if Mr. Vlad didn't say that you would be staying here." Setsuna said. "Nobody messes with my bestie and gets away with it."

"I'm still mad that you got to be her best friend so easily." Itsuka pouted. "It took me a few days to become her best friend."

"Like I said, Green Bean."

"So how did your class react?" Kaibara asked.

"They glared at me when I came downstairs because most of them got detention. I didn't care about their opinions." Izuku shrugged. "But Iida said that I manipulated Itsuka into becoming my friend."

Class B looked shocked at what Izuku said.

"Manipulate me into being your friend?" Itsuka asked in disbelief. "I sat with you at lunch and am nice to you because you're also a nice person and that's who I am."

"Then when I said that his brother would be disappointed in him looking down on the quirkless and that he deserved the detention, he called me a villain." Izuku said nonchalantly.

Everyone's mouths dropped at the last word except Yui, Reiko and Manga Fukidashi. The latter's chat bubble of a face turned into a question mark joined with a exclamation mark.

'๐˜ˆ๐˜ฃ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ฃ๐˜ต๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜บ.' Class B thought.

"And you were okay with that?" Honenuki asked.

Izuku shook his head. "No. I wanted to hit him with a roundhouse kick or a punch but when I activated my quirk, he decided to act like he was invincible so I taunted him then Shoto decided to freeze his feet so I could leave and pack up."

"Playing dirty," Setsuna nodded in approval. "I have much to teach you, young grasshopper."

Izuku and most of Class B laughed. "Set, you know I'm older than you, right? Plus I didn't know Shoto would freeze Iida's feet."

"So?" Setuna asked.

"Never mind. Either way, I told them that I don't consider them my friends anymore and that I don''t care if they hate me." Izuku said. "I'm sorry but I don't want to talk about it anymore. Can we talk about something else?"

"Yeah. Ground rule #1. Don't touch my dino crackers." Setsuna said, pointing a finger at her best friend.

"Noted."

"You want to get started on setting up your room, Izuku?" Itsuka asked.

"Oh yeah."

Izuku got up. "I'll go ahead and do that. I'll be right back."

It took Izuku about three hours to get everything out of the boxes and set everything up. His All Might collection was placed carefully on his table, He didn't put up all of his posters on the wall. But the one he cared about most was the one that Sir Nighteye left him.

"I hope I can make you and All Might proud, Sir." Izuku said. "Togata senpai misses you. I know that I couldn't save you but I promise to be the hero that saves everyone."

He came downstairs to the common room. "Hey guys, I'm done putting everything in my room."

Everyone turned to look at him. He slightly panicked but he remembered that he was no longer in the 1-A dorm.

"Are you okay, Izuku?" Itsuka asked with a look of concern. "You looked scared for a moment there."

"Um you'll probably think it's embarassing or shameful." Izuku said grimly.

"You can trust us, Midoriya." Yanagi said.

"Yes. We won't judge you, Sir Midoriya." Shishida said.

"Well it's just when you guys looked at me, it kind of reminded me of them for a moment." Izuku said, trying not to insult his new dorm mates.

"They looked at you as if you did something wrong?" Reiko asked.

Izuku nodded. "Yeah. I'm sorry. I'll try not to panic next time."

"Izuku, come here." Itsuka ordered softly. Izuku walked over to the couch where Itsuka and Setsuna were sitting like on Christmas and sat next to his crush. "Remember what I said yesterday?'"

"That I have nothing to apologize for?" Izuku asked, remembering Itsuka's words. She nodded as an answer.

"Yeah. Your classmates are idiots and you shouldn't suffer because of their actions." Monoma said and everyone else nodded.

"Thanks you guys." Izuku smiled.

'So bright.' Class B thought.

After dinner, Vlad King walked into the dorm and found everyone in the common room. "Midoriya, as the homeroom teacher of Class B, I'd like to welcome you to the 1-B dorm. I apologize for how your class talked about the quirkless. I understand ifโ€ฆ" Izuku put a hand up to stop the bigger and taller man.

"I don't mean any disrespect but I don't want to talk about that, sir. I do want to say thank you for letting me move to the dorm of your class." Izuku said.

"Of course and I apologize. Here are the sleeping pills that Recovery Girl prescribed for you." The blood hero handed a medicine bottle to Izuku. "She said to take one pill a night when needed."

"Thank you, Mr. Vlad King."

"Mr. Vlad works or Mr. Kan. If you need anything, don't hesitate to let me or Kendo know."

"Yes, sir."

"I'll leave you to it. Good night."

"Good night." Izuku and Class B said in unison as Vlad King walked out of the dorm.
