Once you saw them, you couldn't help but smile.

It was weirdly nostalgic.

All of them together like that.

The warm, orange light from the early-morning sun shining and managing to just brighten their faces, enough to create a translucent facade of kindness.

It brought them to life: the sun.

It wasn't the whole gang. It was just the handful of them that were the closest. Or, maybe, just the members of whom the person that you texted, managed to scratch together in a short period of time.

Tomura Shigaraki, Kurogiri, Twice, Himiko Toga. And, of course, Touya Todoroki.

You jogged towards them, but they hadn't noticed that you had arrived yet.

"Oi!" you called, waving your arm at them.

They turned in surprise, and recognised you immediately.

"Phoenix."

Once you made it just in front of them, they were all staring at you like you were some foreign being. They hadn't seen you in a while.

You felt unwelcome, which was good.

Exactly what you needed.

Right now, you didn't have any security on your tail, you weren't running from anyone. You weren't fighting. Heck, you weren't even trying to get away from the League.

You were there to meet them, this time.

It was weird that they were all gathered in the street like this. Out in broad daylight. Granted, the sun wasn't all the way up yet, but being out on the open road like this, was definitely risky.

"So, tell me Phoenix," Shigaraki gurgled with his hands out. "Why'd you call us here?"

"Well, we could go buy some new shirts!" Eijirou pitched to Katsuki, hoping he would take the bait. "The mall?"

Katsuki was lost in thought for a moment.

They were both in Eijirou's dorm room, trying to configure an answer to what they were going to spend their precious weekend doing.

"Let's bring Y/N."

Eijirou's heart sunk.

This is what he was meant to prevent!

"Hey, why don't we make it a boys' day? We can go try on new stuff and talk about basic boy things." he continued. "You could show me your workout routine for those muscles!"

Katsuki glared at Eijirou like he was speaking another language.

"I want her to pick out shit that she thinks looks good on me," Katsuki dismissed. "Then i'll buy it."
