behind the scenes

Zihao has tons of stick and pokes that Hu did for him. Hu wanted to become a tattoo artist for a while but quickly found out it wasn't for him. But he will still give Zihao dumb tattoos whenever he is allowed.

Hu adores Aoyama, they are practically best friends whenever they meet up. They love shopping together.

Zihao has a septum piercing that he keeps flipped up, he did it himself when he was fifteen because he was bored. He also has a tongue piercing that Hu gave him.

Whenever class 1-A has issues at home, Zihao allows them to stay with him. Only if they swear not to tell anyone else, he was nice to them.

Hu's anime crush is howl, when he was sixteen, he tried to cut his hair to look like his. He failed miserably and never lived it down.

Zihao has a speech impediment due to his hearing loss. The nerve damage that caused his hearing to deteriorate occurred when he was around three years old. He still has to correct himself at times.

Midoriya questioned his mom if he had a brother when he got home from his first meeting with Zihao.

Sero doesn't really know how his aunt or uncle died. He kind of just left the topic alone since it upset his mom greatly.

Hu is scared of birds so bad that if he sees one, he'll hide behind Zihao. It occurs so often that Zihao has a smoke shield for Hu to use.

Hu can't cook, at all. Ramen is the only thing he can make.

Zihao's comfort character is Jiro from The Wind Rises. He loves how passionate and driven he is. He will watch the movie anytime he has too much going on or when he just needs to take a break from reality.

Hu's comfort character is Ponyo. The first time he watched the movie with Zihao his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. He fell in love with the story and how pure Ponyo was. He repeated the word ham so much that Zihao kicks him if he tries to say it again.

Since Zihao was forced to grow up quickly and because he didn't have much money growing up. He has an addiction to stuff animals; in a psychological stance it helps heal his inner child. He has an entire collection of old beat-up ones since he didn't feel worthy enough to buy a new one.

Hu's past in a big mystery for the most part, but his reading level is really low. He relies on Zihao to read aloud to him, and when they were kids his favorite thing to do was having Zihao read him a story.

You may want to remember some of these details because they'll appear in other chapters :)

I'm a sucker for small details and deeper meanings. I hint towards a lot of things so if you ever re-read the main story and find something you missed the first time, feel free to point it out without spoiling it for others!!
