I woke up and shuffled out of my seemingly cozier than normal bed with sleepy half lidded eyes. I walked to my family's shared bathroom, it was
6:00 am meaning you had slept in longer than initially intended. You started to lazily do your morning routine as you tried to recall your dream from your previous rest. You stepped into you shower area and turned on the water spout. You shivered as you felt as the warm water roll casually down your bare s/c skin. "Something about a king.. and a dragon of some sorts..?" You couldn't exactly remember as you muttered trying to piece together the dream. You loftily laughed at the idea of a dragon. That was all just silly folklore you would tell to a child.

After you were somewhat awake and presentable you stepped out of the bathroom to get a outfit to wear. You shuffled through your closet looking for a outfit, it always shocked you with how long it took you to find clothes as you didn't even have that many items.
You observed your outfit in your mirror to see if it was alright. You sighed as you groaned a quiet "good enough" at your slouched reflection.

You lolled over to the small rustic kitchen to fix yourself a small snack before you headed out. You looked out your window as you grabbed at different items in the cabinet to observe the many rows of houses and shops. You lived on a higher elevated  plain than the other parts of town so it was easy to look at everything with your wonderful view. Your daze was suddenly disturbed by your brother jumping up behind you to tease you.He playfully jabbed your side with his pointer finger. You flipped around only to see him snickering at your overreaction. You pinched his arm, receiving a quiet yelp from the slight pain induced. You snickered back mockingly before returning to getting your food. 

You slipped on your aged worn out shoes and gave your brother a small peck on the forehead before grabbing your laundry basket and leaving through the front door. You checked your cracked watch and it was about 7:15 am. You swung your basket up your forearm so you could check the list of people you have to visit. Today you had 2 people booked. You crumpled up the list and roughly shoved it back into your pocket before you started walking in swift strides down the street. You arrived at the two households pretty quickly due to your fast walking pace this morning. The cool fresh air helped you stay awake despite how tired you were. Working all the time usually had you exhausted 24/7.

You headed over to a local washing place for people who didn't want to buy their own bins. You picked a bin on the far back left of the area and started filling the bin full with water and soap. You were more focused today, maybe it was the cold weather. You got done a lot sooner than you anticipated. You happily grabbed one of the driers at the shop and started to blow the clothes dry which always takes much longer than the washing step. After they were all close enough to being dry you neatly folded them and placed them inside your basket.

You noticed a familiar face walk into the shop as you were collecting your things to leave. A green haired boy who's face was adorned with freckles and a bright smile glided into the building as happy as ever. This boy was named Izuku Midoriyia. He was a traveler who lived in a home nearby with his mother. She was a sweet woman who often invited your family over for supper. Your mom and her were good friends as were you and Izuku. Overtime though he was out more on travels and was at home less often so it was always a treat when you got to see him again. It was his dream to be a greatly famed traveler ever since he was small. You smiled and started a light jog to get over to greet your friend. "Hey Izuku!" You exclaimed in a sing-song tone expressing your excitement of seeing your friend again. "Oh, hey Y/N! It's been a while." He said while giving you a glimpse of his sweet smile and emerald green eyes.

You put your laundry basket on the floor and started to ask him about where he'd been. He told you excitedly about all the things he had witnessed on his recent adventure out into the unknown. He talked of crazy elves, magical beasts, and beautiful views. It all sounded so exhilarating! You gushed as you thought about seeing all these wonderful sights with your own eyes. "Hey Y/N, would you wanna come visit me and my mom tonight. I know it's been a while since you guys last got to visit so maybe we could catch up!" He requested with a hint of awkwardness in his tone. You smiled at the thought of getting back together again to visit and immediately accepted his offer. "Well I have to go return these clothes to some people now, it's been nice to catch up with you Izuku! I'll see you later tonight." You grinned as you grabbed your basket and waved to one another.

You were always somewhat envious oh Izukus ability to leave on adventures and travel to new places. You and him used to fantasize about being traveling partners, but you fell short. You never could because you had to be there for your mom and brother. Hearing his recollections was enough for now though.

You left the washing place as you began to backtrack to your neighbors houses. These loads of laundry belonged to the Fujita and Hasegawa homes. The Fujita household was a elderly couple that were very kind, though the Hasegawa household had a aggressive young adult male and his wife who resided there. They were sometimes a little harsh but you didn't mind. They were still paying you well so it was worth it. As you arrived at the Hasegawa home you even ignored Mr.Hasegawas bad attitude as you were to excited about the get-together taking place later that night. You returned both loads to their correct homes and set off on your way.
