Like honey dripping from the honeycomb, golden rays of sun crept like thieves through the curtains. They placed their soft hands on your exposed skin to keep you warm. You took a deep breath through your nose. Your eyes fluttered open, only to be kindly greeted by the peaceful sleeping face of Izuku. His strong arms were lazily draped around your body as if to protect you from whatever might go bump in the night.

He looked so calm. Your fingers ever so gently traced the freckles that littered his face. You had never seen a boy so handsome. You swiftly removed your hand once you noticed he began to stir. He slowly woke up, trying to blink and stretch away from the last remnants of sleep.

"Morning," He murmured in a groggy voice. A smile formed on his sleepy expression.

"Good morning," You responded, utterly content. It was freeing to let your guard down; to trust someone. You never wanted to leave. Yet, you knew you had to.

"I should go," You told him. "Shigaraki is probably wondering what happened to me."

"Can you make it back alright?" Izuku asked, concern lacing his voice. He reached out to touch your arm lovingly. You nodded your head. You shared a moment of silence, just the two of you gazing into each other's eyes like nothing else mattered.

"Are you still sleeping?" A feminine voice shouted while banging on the dorm room door. You watched as Izuku nearly tumbled out of the bed, rushing to grab his clothes that laid scattered on the floor.

"N-No!" Izuku called back. "Sorry, just give me a minute!" You quickly got off the bed and began to gather the articles of clothing and protective gear you disregarded the night prior. You scrambled to slip them on, swallowing winces and groans of pain. Izuku quickly helps you open one of his windows.

Before crawling out of it, you hesitated. Briefly turning back to lay a kiss on his cheek, you watched him smile, a vibrant blush covering his cheeks. Then, you fell out the window. Izuku grabbed his gym bag and darted to open the door.

"There you are!" Tenya exclaimed at his classmate. "I'm disappointed, usually you're the first up when we train together!"

"Did you forget to set your alarm?" Todoroki asked in his usual deadpan tone.

"Y-Yeah, I-I forgot to do that," Izuku told the truth. Last night he did forget to set his alarm, he was a little distracted.

"What are you not telling us, Deku?" Uraraka said with a giggle. "Do you have a secret girlfriend or something?" Izuku didn't respond. His friends noticed the way he avoided eye contact, staring at the floor as they walk through the dorm halls.

"Wait a minute... " Tenya trailed off, narrowing his eyes at the young hero.

"What's her name?" Uraraka squealed. "Tell us everything about!" Izuku laughs nervously. He rubs the back of his neck, internally debating whether or not to tell his friends about you.

"She doesn't go to UA," He began, getting the basics out of the way first. "But sh-she's really strong and more capable than I am." He felt a smile blossom on his features. "She's smart and sharp and--and she's really pretty too." Uraraka grinned, clapping her hands.

"When will we get to meet her?" Tenya requested, curious about the girl Izuku was raving about.

"I don't know," Izuku shrugged, trying his best to be vague. "She's busy a lot."
