A/N: I'm going to be using mainly NateWantsToBattle's English covers of the OP's, so if that bugs you, I'm sorry. If it doesn't, enjoy! I'll make sure to link the ones I'm going to use in each chapter.

"Alright, so if I want it to work that way..." 

Atop of a large hill, 15 minutes away from UA campus, (the premier school for anyone wanting to be a pro someday), sat a dorm full of future heroes.

"No, that doesn't work..."

One of those future heroes, Izuku Midoriya, sat alone in his room, muttering to himself as he scribbled away in a notebook.

"That...might work? Wait, no, definitely not. No one's that flexible."

Beside him sat a letter from his father, something he got often as the man worked abroad. This letter, however, was different from the ones he usually got. 

This one talked about how his father was coming to visit- how he'd gotten a promotion, and that said promotion came with two weeks worth of vacation- and that he was planning on spending it in Japan, with Izuku and his mother.

"Why are you being difficult?" 

The boy was scrambling to finish this personal project of his before he left, but he was having some difficulty. 

Izuku groaned and leaned back in his chair, staring out the window in despair. "I'm never gonna figure out this riff..." he muttered to himself, throwing an arm over his eyes in exasperation. 

"The sound I want and what is physically possible with human fingers are two very different things..." he grumbled, sitting back up and attempting to figure out a workaround. 

He glanced at the clock, eyes widening when he realized his father would be here within the next 5 minutes or so.

"Shit-" 

He scrambled up, grabbing the bag he'd packed, along with his suitcase, before turning off his bedroom light and booking it out the door towards the stairs. 

He passed Todoroki on the way, shoving the staircase door open with a grunt. "Sorry Todoroki, can't talk- gonna be late!" he said in a rush, causing the other teenager to blink in confusion.

Yeah...he probably should have told the others what was going on, in hindsight, but that thing was 20/20 after all. 

He took the stairs two at a time, slamming the door on the ground floor open and scaring the daylights out of Uraraka and Iida. 

"Deku! What's going on?"

"What are you doing with that suitcase, Midoriya?"

"Can't talk, gotta run! Gonna be late! Dad's here!" Midoriya word-vomited onto them, causing them to give him the same confused look as Todoroki.

The green-haired boy didn't notice Bakugo's head perk towards him at the mention of his father. The blonde narrowed his eyes as Izuku bolted out the front doors, nearly running Aoyama and Mina over in the process.

"Whoa...wonder where he's off to in such a hurry?" Mina said as she watched Izuku run down the sidewalk before heading into the dorms.

"Was that Midoriya stampeding through here just now?" Kirishima asked, leaning over the back of the couch from beside Bakugo with a raised eyebrow.
