CHAPTER START---

---1A Dorms, 6:35 AM...

After getting out of the showers and getting dressed, wearing a pair of shorts and a large shirt, Jiro gathers her things and begins the trip back up to her room from the showers and laundry area downstairs.

"Morning Kyoka!" Uraraka greets her, falling into step beside her as she too is heading back to her room to change.

'It's way too early to have that much energy,' Jiro thinks, but instead just looks over at her friend. "Morning Ochaco, a late start for you?"

"Oh, just a bit. I kind of got carried away sparring with Mina last night, so I overslept."

"Oh that, yeah she mentioned you've been teaching her some of the Gun Head martial arts from your internship," Jiro says as they enter the hallway, moving toward the elevator.

"Yup, she's a natural, atleast more than me, Mina's got some serious moves already."

"Well she likes to dance so I bet that helps her out," Jiro shrugs.

"What about you?" Uraraka asks, taking a closer look at Jiro, seeing small dark bags under her eyes. "Trouble sleeping?"

"Uh, I, was up late studying for midterms," she lied. "They should be starting soon so I don't want to wait too long."

"Oh shoot!" Uraraka facepalms as they enter the elevator. "I totally forgot about those! Awe man I need to start studying more, I've just been so caught up with working at Ryukyu's Agency that my school work hasn't been as big of a priority."

"Yeah well I imagine that's difficult to manage."

"Yeah, you know how it is, every time you're out on patrol you come back exhausted, studying after that just seems like torture."

"Well, I actually wouldn't know," Jiro says, and she see's Uraraka looks like she's about to apologize. "Its fine, really. But don't think just because we failed the Provisional License exam that we can't catch up to you. Because while you're all out of UA we've been training harder than ever, you'll see."

"Yeah! Then we can go on patrol together and help people," Uraraka gets excited at the idea. "Oooh! Maybe all the girls can form a hero team together, with a super flashy Super Move where we all work together to take down a big villain and save everyone!"

"Let's focus on one thing at a time Chaco'," Jiro says. "I still have to actually pass the next exam first, then we'll talk about combo moves afterward."

"Oh you'll be fine," Uraraka says as the elevator begins taking them up. "The only reason you didn't get it this year was because there were just so many third-year students from other Hero Courses there, next year you'll be a second year during it, and a lot stronger."

"But I'll have fewer allies, so I think it balances out."

"Mmm, maybe, but I guess you've just got to be even stronger and win anyway!" Uraraka gives her a dazzling smile, and Jiro just gives an awkward one in exchange.

"You make it sound so easy, but yeah, that's exactly what I'll do!"

They chat a bit more while walking through the hallway, then Uraraka goes into her own room to get ready for school.

And after a few more steps, two doors down, Jiro arrives at her own.

"Honestly I'll never understand how anyone has that much energy this early in the morning," she mutters while casually stepping into her room.

"Morning people are annoying," Horizon agrees.

"Eehh!" she squeals out, dropping her items and holding her chest, breathing heavily as she leans against the door.

"Well good morning to you too," Horizon says.

He was currently in his full UA uniform, with the back of his jacket, his logo stitched into it staring at her. As he peruses the myriad of musical instruments lining her walls.

The entire room looks like a music shop, with instruments, posters, even some old records and a record player, beside a stereo system.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Jiro growls out, looking more cute than scary as she picks up her stuff, but Horizon doesn't pay her much attention, still inspecting her instruments. "This is my room."

"Obviously," he stops and turns to her. "But I didn't think you cared much for the notion of privacy, after last night," he gestures to the ceiling, where hidden behind a poster there is a small indentation where her Earphone Jack was but hours ago.

Jiro's blood runs cold, almost breaking out into a sweat as she freezes, unable to think of any excuse that could make this better.

"Can you really play all of these?" Horizon asks, and she leaps at the chance to change the subject.

"Atleast a little bit, you know who my parents are, it's in my blood."

"Impressive."

"You mentioned that you don't play anything, right, want to learn?" she desperately tries to distract him.

"I'd rather not, understanding it ruins the magic, and with how my brain works, if I can understand something it's difficult to enjoy."

"Right, we---"

"Why were you listening in on Momo and I last night?" Horizon asks, and a flash of embarrassment and fear appears on her face.

"Well, I, um---"

"I did a quick Scan of the dorms to make sure we weren't being spied on before I...well, you know, you heard, and imagine my surprise to find you, laying in bed with an Earphone Jack in the ceiling and a hand do---"

"I'm sorry!" Jiro blurts out. "I was just, worried you'd take advantage of my friend."

He considers it for a moment, then nods, "a good excuse for the first part maybe, but that doesn't explain why you listened in all night."

As Jiro freezes, Horizon walks over and gently puts a finger under her chin, raising her head so she has to look up at him.

As he looms over her, a full 16in -40cm- taller than the petite girl.

"I..." Jiro stutters for a moment, then her eyes get teary as she finally lets it all out. "Because I like you, and I know I tried not to but I really do. And I like Momo, and I don't know what to do, so when both of you got all, close, like that, I just kept listening in ok.

What else was I supposed to do? Both the people I'm attracted to were...and I just...I...I don't know. I'm sorry. Please don't tell anyone, don't tell Momo that I'm---"

"As if I care about some teenaged sexuality crisis, and again, you aren't very subtle, but relax Momo is too sweet to treat you any differently either way."

"What about---"

"I already knew why you were listening in," Horizon shrugs. "I just like watching you squirm, atleast that makes us even."

"What?"

"But I do have one question," he ensures he's making proper contact with her, and reads her body as he speaks. "When you were listening in, how much can you see. I imagine you have something like echo mapping, right?"

"I'm not that good yet, I could only hear," Jiro says. "Sorry to disappoint...even more."

Luckily for her, he detects no lies. He was fairly sure she wouldn't have gotten much detail like his face and certainly not his tattoos, but better safe than sorry.

And removing Jiro from the board is always preferable to compromising Law Matani.

With her dodging that bullet he steps away and continues looking around her room, as she desperately tries to make sense of what's happening.

Taking deep breaths she wipes her tears and just observes him, before finally speaking.

"Are you going to report me to Principal Nezu?"

"Don't be stupid," Horizon says. "What Momo and I were doing is so much worse than your preerected antics, the teachers acknowledge that they can't fully stop students from fucking, but they have to atleast try to prevent it. But atleast try not to be such a creepy pervert in the future, or just ask to be there, doubt either of us would mind..."

Jiro's mind is sent reeling with that thought, and she blinks a few times to try and make sense of it, but before responding with some outrage, she takes stock of the situation.

And realizes she's really holding no moral position to be judging him "what?"

Horizon stops looks around and walks up to her, then leans in closer to her face, "I sensed it early on, so if I wanted to. If you were anyone else spying on us, this would have gone very differently, but since its you we're having a pleasant and hopefully fruitful conversation about this."

Jiro nods stiffly, feeling the hairs behind her neck stand up, a new sense of danger filling the room.

"But you're you, and how this ends is quite obvious, so I saw no reason not to let you have a glimpse of your future. Atleast now you know what you're signing up for..."

Jiro freezes for a moment, and from the look in her eyes, he can tell her brain is struggling to process all of this.

And the redness on her face says she's finally making some progress in understanding him.

Shaking his head he sighs, and pats her head, "don't be late for class, and try not to be any weirder around us..."

And with that, he warps away, happy with how he's using the perks that come from being Horizon.

CHAPTER START---

---7:05 AM...

"Look, I just don't see what the big deal is, I didn't even say anything wrong," Sero says.

He was sitting on Tokoyami's desk, because strangely he and Horizon are in the 1A homeroom before anyone else arrives.

Even the obsessively polite Momo Yaoyorozu.

Horizon was in his custom uniform, leaning back with his feet up, scrolling through a few of his fan pages on his phone.

Forever entertained by the insane rumors and assumptions the internet has about him. And this week the latest gossip is him joining the Edgeshot Hero Agency, since Cellophane is working with them.

"Just tell her she's pretty or something, or get her cake, girls love cake," Horizon says.

"It's flowers, the saying is 'girls like flowers'. Besides, Yui like tomatoes more."

"Ew, and I said cake because they can't eat flowers, but seriously, Yui is head over heels for you...for some reason---"

"Hey!"

"If you actually like her then probably don't reward bad behavior with cake, that'll be bad long term, and hey, why apologize if you're right," Horizon shrugs.

"Exactly, but I don't get why she's mad."

"She's a girl, doesn't matter if you were right, just how it made her feel, I try not to take them seriously."

"Well I'm sorry I actually have a heart," Sero shakes his head. "And it really likes Yui."

"Sounds like a personal problem. Just tell her to get over it, you've got hero stuff to do, so what if you don't want to go see some stupid poetry show nonsense, who gives a fuck."

"Her apparently," Sero groans. "It's just gonna suck so much, those things are super lame."

"Hey you wanted a girlfriend, this is what you get. I did tell you to just ---"

"I remember what you told me, but I happen to like Yui as a person, and not as 'playthings' or whatever you said."

"Then bite the bullet and go to the poetry show, I'll be over in Tokyo enjoying the perks of being a hero. Honestly man, who gets fame and fortune to settle for one girl..." Horizon scoffs.

"Well let's not get ahead of ourselves," Sero says. "I said I like her, not that I'd nev---"

The door at the back of the room slides open, and Momo Yaourorozu stares at both her classmates before her eyes settle on Horizon.

"Hey, Yaomomo!" Sero doesn't miss a beat or notice the strange look she gave Horizon. "You're usually the first one here, everything ok?"

Momo walks over to her seat as she responds, "Good morning Sero, and things have never been better, just a bit of a late start this morning."

She takes her seat and begins setting up her books.

"Hey, can I get your opinion on some girl stuff Yaomomo?"

"Um, certainly, but I'm not sure if I'm experienced enough to be of any help."

"More than most of our class," Horizon blurts out.

And Momo can see the thoughts connect through Sero's expression as he looks between them, then he looks surprised, eyes widening a bit, then quickly moves past it.

"It's about Yui," Sero says, and Momo's oh-so thankful he didn't say anything. "She wants to go to some poetry night next week, it's in Musutafu, but it really isn't my kind of thing, plus I just feel like I'd get more done by doing my usual training, you know?"

Momo nods along.

"Right, so I told her this, and now she's mad, what do you think I should do?"

"Well, training is important, and we are here mainly for training. But also you entered into a relationship knowing there'd have to be some moments where you put each other first, as that is part of having a romantic relationship..." Momo furrows her brow, trying to think of a solution to this.

"One more reason heroes shouldn't have serious relationships," Horizon says as he continues scrolling on his phone. "I'll add it to the list."

Momo frowns, "Everyone needs someone to be there for them in the quiet moments."

"Yeah, the quiet moments, not to drop what you're doing just because of them. Anyway, what do you think he should do?"

"Hmm, I think he should go, if it makes her happy that alone should be enough reason."

"I think he should go," Horizon says, surprising both of them. "If only to understand why women shouldn't be allowed to distract you from your goals, suffer through some garbage amateur poetry, and learn a valuable lesson."

"Are you saying you'd never go to one of these for a girl?" Sero asks.

"Fuck no!" Horizon actually put down his phone, then gestures back to Momo. "I've got the girl that'll be happy with me taking the time to buy her a new interesting book, not dragging me to some horrific and pretentious poetry event."

"Mhm," Momo nods along, elated by the way he's so open about whatever they are.

"Because I think ahead, while you just think with your dick."

"I think with my heart," Sero says.

"Well you think with both of those," Horizon says. "I think with all three. If you wanted to avoid this you should have asked out Momo," he shrugs.

"I did, on the first day of school, but she already had that crush on you."

"She has good taste," Horizon says.

"Can both of you please stop speaking about me as if I'm not here," Horizon glances back to see her face beet red. "And for the record, I also happen to enjoy live shows, and poetry."

"Really?" Horizon spins his chair around to face her. "Want to go to this poetry thing?"

Momo's eyes open wide, 'he's asking me out, on a real date, maybe a double date with his friend. Oh my god! Did he change his mind, does he want me to be his girlfriend, only me? Yes! It must be!'

"Yes!" Momo says, with a bit too much energy, then quickly covers her mouth. "I mean, of course, I think I'd quite enjoy some amateur poetry."

"Perfect," Horizon says. "Then just get all the girls to go, Sero buys the tickets, then everyone is happy, a 'girls night'," he shrugs.

Momo's smile falls and Sero begins grinning, "what?"

"It's the obvious solution," Horizon says. "Obviously I can't go because then the public would know who Cellophane is...and I don't want to go. But I'm sure Yui would appreciate her boyfriend doing this, plus the girls will like it.

Especially Jiro and Mina, since they failed their exams they can only leave campus if a teacher is with them, or me. But I'm sure Eraser won't mind if so many Provisional License holders are out together, you girls can defend yourselves."

"Dude! You're a genius!" Sero praises him.

"I know, and I get that a lot."

"Well, I'm sure Kyoka will appreciate not being stuck on campus for a change," Momo says. "Alright, I'll speak to the others about it!"

"Thanks Yaomomo, you're the best," Sero says, and she just sheepishly nods along.

And internally Momo berates herself, 'Stupid stupid stupid, of course he can't go out in public with you, that would make you a target and he can't allow that...but I suppose that also means he cares in his own strange way. Ugh, why is having a love life so complicated!'

After they chat a bit to sort out the details, Sero turns to Horizon.

"So what would you do for a night out with your girlfriend? Yui doesn't work anywhere near me, but Edgeshot has a case that puts me close to her area next month, figured we could spend some time together on patrol for a change."

Horizon shrugs, "I have Horizon Tower, it's pretty much got everything, why would we ever need to go anywhere."

"C'mon, tell me something helpful," Sero whines.

"Is there really nothing you like?" Momo asks. "Or someplace you enjoy going?"

"Well, I like the beach," Horizon says. "Its always been a nice place to relax, since I was a kid, even built my house there."

"House?" Sero asks.

"I own a lot of places, but before I went public and built Horizon Tower, I enjoyed my time at the beach. Now it's just hopping between UA, Horizon Tower, and Central Hospital."

"I guess a beach trip could be fun," Sero says. "But that's probably something we should do as a class, right?"

"Absolutely!" Momo is excited at the idea. "I can have mother ready the beach h---" she freezes, and looks, for the first time since they've met her, sad.

"You ok?" Horizon asks.

"I um, I just remembered we sold that house," she lied, and not very well. "It was always my favorite..."

"Well how about we try to get through the semester before planning any victory celebrations," Horizon says. "One thing at a time..."

After a few more minutes, someone else finally gets to their homeroom.

"Glass face!" Bakugo yells out as he enters through the front door.

"It's too early for this shit," Horizon grumbles as everyone looks at Bakugo.

The blonde had his bag over his shoulder, and both hands in his pockets, staring intently at Horizon.

"What do you want?"

"To fight you," Bakugo says. "Rematch, just you and me."

"That's a waste of my time, how about you just take your seat and be quiet till class starts."

"Rematch," Bakugo demands.

Horizon sighs, "and how would this be any different than the Sports Festival, I'm stronger than I was then, and I promise I improve faster than you."

"Tch, because I'm stronger too, and faster, and have better control. And I've been studying you, and thinking about exactly how I'll kick your ass!"

"Well, I hope you think about your girlfriend that much."

"Don't have one."

"Probably because you think about me so much," Horizon hears Sero laugh, and Momo stifles a chuckle behind him.

"Don't need useless distractions! I just need to be the best, and that means beating you."

"I'm Horizon, unless you've got Star and Stripe in your pocket, I'm invincible, and you'll always be, at best, the runner-up. Just accept your place, silver medal..."

"Argh!" Bakguo slams his hand down on Horizon's desk, but he doesn't get any reaction out of the boy. "Fight me! If you're so invincible then why are you so scared, huh?! Think you'll lose?!"

"No, I simply know you aren't worth my time," Horizon says. "But fine, this afternoon, just to shut you up, but first, you should really hurry, atleast if you want to get to homeroom in time..."

Bakugo and the others look confused at that, since they were already in homeroom.

Until Horizon raises a hand and snaps his fingers.

SHAMBLES!

In Bakugo's place is a single leaf from the other side of UA, over 14 km away. And hovering in the air, Bakugo's phone, was selectively left behind when Horizon sent him away.

So he can't call for help, so they get just a bit longer without his yelling.

"Where did you send him?" Momo asks, concern in her voice.

"Hell."

"Horizon..."

"Ugh, he's just at the other side of UA, he'll walk back in...a bit."

"He'll be late for homeroom, Mr. Aizawa could be upset," Momo says. "You could get in trouble."

"Momo, babe, relax, Eraser Head and I have an understanding, I'll be fine..."
