It was about a week before summer camp was supposed to start and Shota and I spend nearly every day working at U.A to make sure every bit of it was planned out. Well, almost every day, we still took weekends off to patrol, hero work was truly a constant thing.

Shota's Pov:

I woke up slowly and was so grateful that Yui was still asleep and even more grateful that she had rolled over in her sleep, her back now facing me. I very carefully sat up in bed and glanced over at her, I could see half of her face and I dont think its a sight I would ever grow weary of. She looked so peaceful, so, and I would deny admitting this to anybody other than her, adorable. I gently stroked some of her hair that had caught on her bottom lip and smiled at the way she turned her face towards my touch. I pulled my hand back, not trying to wake her up before the surprise. I carefully got out of bed and grabbed my phone, walking towards the front of the house

*me: I will wake her up soon, what time should I bring her over?

I pocketed my phone, as I walked to the kitchen and pulled out some eggs. I could confidently say I was good at a lot of stuff, I wasn't over confident in myself necessarily but it's important to know your strengths and weaknesses. I was not a good cook, my parents never bothered to teach me and I never cared enough to teach myself. I had read a few recipes online and watched Yui cook for months now so I carefully cracked the eggs into a pan in the hopes of creating a passable meal. After trying, and failing, at keeping the yolk intact as I flipped them I decided that scrambled eggs would be easier so instead whisked them up and left them to cook. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I looked at the screen

*Amari Kurokawa: Anytime really, but this is her first birthday with you so I understand if you want to spend it with her. I can only hold her father off for so long though haha

*Amari Kurokawa: I also have to apologize in advance, our family may be a bit overbearing when you get here

I smiled slightly at my phone

*me: alright, I will let you know when we leave, and there is really no need after teaching these kids I don't think anything will really bother me. I look forward to spending time with Yui's family

*Amari Kurokawa: We look forward to it too, see you in a bit!

I slipped my phone back in my pocket and sighed when I realized I had left the eggs in a bit too long. I was about to try a new batch except I heard Yui's moan from down the hall. I quickly put the eggs on the plate and grabbed the rice I had heated up in the microwave. After putting both things on a tray along with a flower I had grabbed last night on my way back home after patrols I quickly made my way back to the bedroom, almost tripping over our hungry cats on the way there. She wasn't fully awake yet, her eyes were still closed but she had moved to lay on her back and her palm was resting where I normally was laying. I quickly laid the tray down on my side table and kneeled on the bed, moving one hand to caress her soft cheek

"Morning beautiful" I whispered and I saw a smile spread on her lips but she didn't open her eyes

"Mornin.. Why weren't you here?" She pouted childishly, squinting one eye open to look at me

"I was making-" I cut myself short as I glanced at the disappointing breakfast I had created

"Well trying to make breakfast" I finished and she blinked her other eye open as she turned her head to the side table.

"Aw I love you so much Shota" She murmured and I smiled

"You should wait until after you try it" I offered, leaning my head down to press a kiss to the only part of her forehead that wasn't covered by her tangled bangs. There was always one day a week where she woke up looking an absolute wreck and I loved it, everything about her and everything I saw was perfect. Her tangled unkempt hair, her unfocused beautiful eyes, the bit of drool that had slipped past her bottom lip while sleeping, all the way to the chipped paint on her toenails that poked out under the comforter to keep her cool while the rest of her was warm... perfect..
