After that day, Luna's thoughts only raced with that of Izuku Midoriya. What he was doing, what he was thinking about, what he was writing in that notebook - her thoughts were plagued with him. And it felt like forever before Monday finally came.
Sunday was just that day before school where Luna and Keigo made sure she bought everything for school and had everything ready. Her notebooks, her books, her uniform primed and pressed, and her anxiety to be calm enough for her to feel ready. She did feel nervous and a bit upset that she would be the only person at a new school, but she had to stay strong. She had to make sure she had a positive attitude if she was gong to survive her new life in Japan.
However, during Sunday, the two teenagers texted each other every second of that day. They got to know each other better and the two managed to find too many things to talk about. Izuku even educated Luna on the top heroes on Japan, both new and old. However, he seemed to talk a lot about All Might. Luna made a mental note that All Might was Izuku's favorite hero. But she wasn't allowed to complain. She was the one that mainly talked about her mom.
By Monday morning, Luna was all dressed and ready for school. She was wearing her uniform, which was all black and it also had a skirt instead of pants. Now Luna was the type of girl that hated skirts, so having to wear one was terrible for her. But she had to suck it up. She also made sure she brushed her teeth, combed her hair, grabbed her backpack, and had breakfast eaten before heading to the door.
Keigo had also woken up as well. Since he was a hero, he didn't have to wake up early or leave at any specific time. So when she woke up, he just had a shirt and sweatpants on. The two ate breakfast together before it was time for Luna to wait outside of the apartment building for Izuku to walk her to school.
"Now, do you have everything you need?" Keigo asked once again like he did the night before.
"Yes, Uncle Keigo." Luna replied in a robotic tone of voice. They went over this just last night, so why was he asking all of this again? Was he nervous too?
"All of your books? Your phone? Your pencils? Your pepper spray? Your..." He listed off so many things that she already had in her backpack. Yep, he was nervous just as she was.
"Uncle Keigo." She snapped, but kept her voice in a gentle yet stern tone, "I have everything that you just listed and so much more. We already made sure I had everything last night, so I'm prepared for today. I promise."
Keigo let out a small sigh. "Sorry, kid, I know I'm being annoying, but I'm just a little anxious. When I was your age, I didn't have to worry about being the new kid. Hell, when I was your age, I didn't have to worry about too many things expect for which girlfriend I had that week."
"Is that how you became so single as of right now?" Luna asked in a teasing tone and laughed.
"Ouch, kid!" The winged hero put a hand on his heart and pretended to look hurt, but also laughed.
"Kidding, kidding. But I understand. Trust me, I'm anxious too, but I'll be fine. I promise." The young girl replied, finally putting on her pastel purple sneakers and then tucked away her wings before putting on her gray colored backpack. She then looked back at her uncle and ran to him, wrapping her arms around him tightly.
Keigo groaned at the sudden impact, but he then smiled and held his last family member close. "If anything happens, let me know. And if you want to leave early or you can't handle your new school, call me and I'll pick you up. We'll even have some chicken nuggets for dinner."
"Yeah, because that's healthy." She joked again before pulling away, the two now staring at each other. "But alright, I will. I love you, Uncle Keigo."
"Love you too, kid." He leaned down and gently kissed his niece on the forehead, "Now go on, get outta here. I'm sure that your friend is probably already down there waiting for you."
"I hope he is. See you later!" She exclaimed before running back to the door, running out of the apartment, and quickly running down the stairs. She hoped that Izuku wasn't waiting down there for too long.
Luna didn't dress up too much. Just curled her hair a small bit and made sure that her hair was out of her face thanks to a black headband. She also had her uniform on, her shirt being pressed and her skirt down to her knees, her knee high black socks looking professional, and she had her pastel purple sneakers on. She also had her backpack on that kept everything inside of it that she would need. She was officially ready for school. The only thing she was missing was her walking friend, who was thankfully just arriving at the apartment while looking at his phone.
"Oh, Izuku!" Luna exclaimed and waved to the quirkless boy, running down from the steps and hugging his arm tightly. "You came!"
Izuku squeaked in surprised and blushed hard at the sudden arm hug, maintaining a grip on his phone. "L-Luna! W-well, of course I did! I-I promised you th-that I would."
"I know that, but I got worried." She replied and pulled away from his arm, "Like maybe it was a joke or something. I don't know."
Izuku blinked and looked down at the pastel green haired girl, "Hey, one thing I would never do is joke about being your friend. Especially after everything we talked about." He said with his signature kind smile, "We're friends, so I would never lie to you."
Luna's nervousness went down as she felt herself relax. She didn't know why she became so worried that Izuku was joking. He wasn't the type of guy to do that, so she didn't need to be worried. She had gained a true friend. "Well, thanks again. Truly, it means a lot to me." She smiled back before pointing to his phone, "Hey, what were you looking at your phone for?"
"O-oh, that's actually why I rushed over so early. Apparently there's a small surprise villain attack that came out of nowhere! It just started to come up on the news and I was going to go watch to see which heroes show up!" Izuku explained in an excited tone of voice, putting his phone away in his backpack.
Luna's eyes widened. This would be her first villain attack that she would be able to watch in Japan. She used to watch as much villain attacks when she could back in America, whether in real life or on television. She was unable to watch the villain attack that happened between her mother and the Gargoyle King, which she was thankful for... But she wished that she could've seen her mother in action one final time to see how truly badass she was.
She snapped herself back to reality before her face lit up. "And let me guess: You want me to come with you?" She asked in excitement.
"W-Well, of course. I mean, if you're interested. It'll probably be really intense and overwhelming and..." He wanted to bring up the Archangel, but he figured that he shouldn't.
Luna could see it in his normally kind green eyes. She could see he was trying to walk on eggshells when he didn't need to. She was a tough girl. She wasn't going to break down as soon as someone brought up her mother. She wasn't that type of person. "Are you kidding? Seeing a villain attack in my new town and finally seeing all those heroes you told me about? Of course I wanna go, Izuku!"
Izuku gasped and he went back to smiling once again. "Well then, let's go! If we run, we can get there early and hopefully it will be done in just enough time for us to get to school." He instinctively grabbed her hand and began to drag her along, "Come on, I know where it is!"
Luna squeaked and allowed herself to be dragged along by the excited boy. She watched in pure shock that he took her hand, rather than the roles being reversed. Could it be that he was growing accustomed to them being friends in such a short amount of time? She didn't care. She liked it. She liked him becoming more comfortable around her. She squeezed his hand in return and allowed herself to be dragged off, though wanting to fly them to the spot of the attack so they would get there faster.
In a short amount of time thanks to running, the two arrived at the scene of the attack with time to spare. And it seemed that a lot had happened when they got there. A gigantic villain was on top of a train track of Tatooin Station, looking like he was beyond pissed off. So much so that he gave off an intense roar of anger.
"Woah, that's one huge supervillain!" Izuku exclaimed as they stood behind a very large crowd of civilians.
"Huge, yes. But probably not too smart. Come on, let's get to the front." Luna commented as she continued to hold his hand, beginning to push the two of them towards the front of the crowd while hearing passing conversations. They then made it to the front of the crowd to watch closely to the fight.
The villain was knocking over a bunch of things, one of them being one of the power line towers. But before it could hit anyone, a hero named Death Arms came and stopped it from hitting the ground or anyone else. Luna could hear a few screams of excitement, but then she was stopped by a line of water in front of them and the crowd. She looked ahead to see it was Backdraft, and more excited comments came from the back.
"Dang, these guys don't mess around." Luna commented before seeing someone almost fly above her. She blinked, but then instantly covered her ears upon hearing girls squealing.
"Luna, look, it's Kamui Woods!" Izuku exclaimed and pointed to the guy that looked as though he was made of wood running onto the scene and seemed like he was dodging the villain with ease, "He may be new but he's making a big name for himself."
"I can see that. He looks like he's got his quirk all figured out. And he seems he doesn't mess around with this kind of work." She replied, her heart seeming to beat in excitement and was unaware of the two were still holding hands.
Watching villain and heroes fight was everyone's bread and butter, and civilians were always around to watch the sight. The only time that civilians were to evacuate were when things were to get intense. So far it didn't seem like things would because of this Kamui Woods guy taking care of things. She had to admit, for a guy who looked a little strange, he was pretty cool.
The two young students watched the fight closely, not being able to hear what they were saying because of how far away they were. But it wasn't long before they saw one of Kamui Woods' arm start twisting around intensively.
"Oh, here it comes! His special move!" Izuku squealed again, "The Preemptive Binding Lacquered Chains Prison!"
"This is gonna be good!" Luna heard herself exclaim as they saw Kamui Woods' arm separate into millions of tendril-like sticks that aimed right for the villain.
But then out of nowhere, they heard a loud: "Canyon Cannon!" To their surprise, they saw a gigantic blonde haired woman kick the large, but smaller than the blonde, villain off of the tracks and onto the ground a few miles away from the crowd, leaving Kamui Woods standing still with his wood tendrils empty.
Everyone was shocked to see the unexpected female hero that suddenly arrived into the scene, but Luna just smirked. "Well, she came out of nowhere."
The gigantic woman landed surprisingly well in front of the unconscious villain. "Piece of cake for the world next hottest hero." She looked at the ground, for some reason showing off her ass, "Hi there everyone. I'm Mt. Lady and you don't have to worry about this bum anymore."
The words "Money Shot" from each photographer could be heard throughout the crowd. Luna gave a small sigh in disappointment. This Mt. Lady was that type of hero, huh? The one who relayed on sexual appeal rather than her quirk and her kind heart. Her mom hated those kinds of heroes, and she was taught that female heroes should never have to relay on this bodies to get ahead in the hero game.
"I think she might taking all the credit now..." Izuku observed with a worried expression, seeing that Kamui Woods was on his hands and knees in shame while Mt. Lady soaked up all of the attention as she turned back to her normal human size.
"And to think, he was doing such a good job before she came." She shook her head in shame, "Poor Kamui."
The two stayed around just long enough for the police to show up and take the villain into custody. Kamui Woods still remained on top of the station's train tracks in shame while Mt. Lady waved to her new adoring fans, with Death Arms and Backdraft watching her in judgment. If Luna's mother was alive, she would be joining them.
Eventually, the police told everyone to go away and leave the scene for now, as other heroes were going to come and clean up the mess that was made. Hearing this, Izuku looked at Luna before his eyes widened, staring down at their hands with a massive blush on his cheeks. "L-Luna... h-how long have we been holding hands for...?"
Luna blinked and then looked down at what he meant, her eyes widening and her cheeks turning the same color of red, "I-I guess since we l-left the apartment...?"
"O-oh, I see... Umm, d-do you want to continue to h-hold hands until we get to school?" He asked nervously.
Luna gave a small gulp as she could feel her heart pounding in her ears. She instantly nodded her head. "I-I'd like that."
"G-good, th-this way." He instantly led her along with the crowd of people that was also leaving the crime scene, their hands still holding onto each other tightly.
The seeds of love were being planted, the two were just unaware of this feeling as it was so new to the two of them. But it was a truly lovely feeling - the feeling of slowly falling in love.
