AMP (IzuJirou)

Studying

Kyouka rolled her eyes, "Of course he did. Apologize for what?"

"Nothing. He just meant in general. Long story short, we hate each other and I'm not interested in poking a sleeping explosive bear right now."

"How could he even see you passing with higher grades as an intentional attack against him?"

Izuku deadpanned at Kyouka, "You do know who you're talking about, right?"

"But, I mean, don't you want to give it your all? You told Bakugou, to his face, that you were competing against him, right?"

"W-Well, yeah. But, these are just tests. I wasn't exactly thinking about my math homework when I told him that."

"Oh, Izuku, I know you don't care about pissing Bakugou off with the tests." Kyouka slapped both hands firmly against Izuku's cheeks, bringing their faces together until their noses touched. "I do."

"Kyouka, we-"

"You said you wished he would change, try to move on. Well, I think he needs something to wake him up; give him a real shock. After winning the Sports Festival, he probably still thinks he's stronger than you. So, let's show him you're smarter...and then stronger later."

"But, I mean, Kacchan is actually smart. Really smart. He's always been a top student academically."

"Uh-huh. And, remember all those times he said that you'd always be nothing? Always be below him?"

Izuku's brow furrowed before he answered quietly, "...Yes."

"I don't give a damn how smart he is. What I care about is that you stop putting yourself down and remember just how incredibly smart you are. What I care about is you. He's constantly trying to fight, but forgets that you've got me in your corner. I know what you're capable of. And, I think Bakugou is right about one thing. You do need to stay in your place." Kyouka took her hands off of his cheeks, using her now free hand to point at his chest. "Your place as the future Number One Hero. You once told me that when you're born on a lower pedestal, it's much easier for those higher up to spit on you. I'm not telling you to do any spitting. I'm just saying I think it's time for him to start looking up for a change."

"...I probably should have said this a long time ago, but you're incredibly sexy when you're being inspiring."

"No distractions!" Kyouka shouted with a deep blush blooming on her face, jabbing her finger at her textbook, "Now, take whatever computer chip you have in your brain that makes you memorize everything in your hero journals, and apply it to this!"

Izuku saluted, 'Yes, ma'am."

"Good." Kyouka cracked her knuckles, stretching out on the bed, "Now, I think it's time for a well deserved break."

"That was your break."

"What?!" Kyouka cried out, her head shooting up to peer at Izuku. "No, it wasn't!"

"Yes, it was. I'm not going to suffer through this alone. Besides, imagine the look on Kacchan's face the day you rank higher than him in class."

"I...Wait..." Kyouka closed her eyes, conjuring the image in her mind. "Yeah, okay. That would be pretty sweet."

"It will be pretty sweet." Izuku tapped her paper before rolling back to his desk, "Number twenty-two is wrong, by the way."

Kyouka grumbled, erasing her answer away, "God-damn math."

(The Next Day: Class 1-A)

Aizawa rolled his shoulders back as he walked in front of his desk, turning to address his class, "I meant to announce this once you got back from your internships, but due to the unfortunate circumstances of that afternoon, I've been distracted. Midterms finals are close at hand, which also means summer vacation. Having you all slack off that whole time would be a waste, so you'll be going to a summer training camp."
