"Ugh! Why is God testing me so much?!" You groaned as you knocked your head against the nearest wall. Passerbys watched you with wary eyes who thought the stranger was weird for talking to themselves then knocked your head repeatedly against the hard wall.

You've been searching high and low for a decent job but to no avail. Even though you went to UA, you were from general studies with your quirk—no—former quirk that could've gotten you a well-paying job. That is a story for another time as the only thing occupying your mind is job-hunting.

"I fucking underestimate this damn pandemic. Stupid beer-named virus is killing my motivation," you grumbled under your breath as you scanned the resume in your clear file for the hundredth time today.

You swore if this wasn't the worst thing in your life apart from the rest then you don't know what is. Desperation was beginning to be an accessory.

♪Ring Ring Ring♪

You sighed as you shoved your hand in your pocket to lazily pull out your phone. You read the name and immediately you wanted to cry. You answered without hesitation.

📱On Call📱

"Minaaaaaaa~," you whined into the call.

"Hey, boo!" Your friend's cheery voice greeted on the line.

"I'm dying! Does the world not want me to be employed?!" you groaned, ignoring the looks from passerby's. You hear her giggle at your despair.

"That bad, huh?"

All you can respond to that was another whine. Mina giggled at the minor childishness you let out.

"You need some extra help, girl?"

You felt a bit of weight float off your shoulders hearing those words. "Yes please!" Then you had another thought. "But then, you kinda searched for some places before, do you have any more vacancies you know of?"

"Oh, little jobless one-"

"Oi, pink dust!" You barked but sighed in defeat when you heard her giggle.

"What I'm saying is, I can get help from my homies! The more the merrier, right?"

"✨Mina~✨!"

The pink hero huffed in pride. "I gotchu, (y/n)! In fact, I got an idea!"

As (y/n) diligently listened to her best friend's idea, once Mina was done explaining, all (y/n) could say was, "Eh?"

. . .

📱End Call📱

"I'm not going." Shoto firmly declined.

Iida clicked his tongue, disapprovingly and made his trademark chopped hands gesture. "You must go, Shoto! It's been a while since we all finally found a day we're all free from our pro hero duties."

His lips turned into a frown and let down his hands that had the documents in his grasp. It was clear to the other two pro hero that their half-hot and half-cold quirked friend wasn't finding any delight in what they're saying.

"Give me one good reason I should even consider going." He brought his pointer finger up as his heterochromatic eyes stared straight at his two friends. The glare would've been intimidating back as early 'Roki, but they were used to it now.

The green-haired hero placed his pointer finger and thumb under his chin as he thought of a valid reason while the rapid hero himself just shook his head at the oblivious mild childish antics they were having. Todoroki rarely joined in gatherings due to him sticking his head where his work is.

"Ah! I got it!" Midoriya snapped his fingers then dramatically pointed at the stoic male with a confident glint in his emerald orbs.

One thing, Shoto knew about Midoriya is that, once he's onto something, he's locked on it. You have no other way but to see the point and follow through with it. Shoto's always caught into his friend's ambitions.

"You'll go to the reunion and we'll get you a personal assistant to help you with your reports in the office!" Midoriya proudly exclaimed which made Iida clap in agreement and Shoto's face pulling into an expression of disbelief.

"Oh! Why didn't we think of that sooner?! Good idea, Midoriya-kun!" Iida wondered as Midoriya rubbed the back of his neck shyly at the little compliment.

They heard Shoto groaned. He was annoyed. Among all the suggestions, a personal assistant was the least of the things he needed, in his opinion. It's not that he was opposed to the idea, in fact, he was just fed up with putting a vacancy of that position since he opened his own agency. A lot of the times those who sent in their application were horny and lewd women who had one goal in mind: Sex with Pro Hero Shoto.

"I bet we can find a nice and hardworking candidate to ease your documentation!"

All Shoto could feel was misery at the solution. This time, he was determined about not going forward with Midoriya's idea. "Rejected."

"Ehhh?!"
