time had passed and class 1-a had been tirelessly worked while heroes proceeded to tail the league of villains.

y/n had gotten used to the island, made friends and found a part time job at a floral shop. she figured her knowledge in plants and her quirk, it was just meant to be. except, her manager rarely let y/n use the quirk.

"manual labor makes the day more satisfying" he'd say.

everything continued despite the sad memories and the feeling of saudade. she had gotten a new phone under a different name, "just temporarily" her dad said. it took time to adjust and what really helped y/n was mahoro and katsuma.

the siblings made the island so welcoming despite mahoro being a little stand offish at first but she slowly came around and is very cheerful.

- y/n -

katsuma was a lot more energetic today. he's been humming and walking faster than me and mahoro.

"what's up with him?" i ask.

"he's just excited about these new people arriving," she says. "from an elite school."

"wait who?" i stop.

"hm? ummm i don't know or care! katsuma is just so focused on heroes but it's not like we're going to talk to them right, katsuma?!"

"they're from ua!" he yells excitedly. "the cool heroes are coming and they have their own housing!"

ua?! why?

"h-housing?! where?! i've never seen that!" mahoro looks at me shocked.

"you really haven't seen it? i guess you don't go out of your area so much but they're coming soon so it should be okay," she says. "but katsuma you can't wonder around!"

she starts to lead the way, her hand grasping katsuma's and her brother whining to be let go. we make it after a while and it's just a standard house. the plaque says it is for ua and i softly touch it.

"tch! they better be useful!" mahoro comments. i already knew her stance on heroes and i don't mind it much. my phone starts to ring and i quickly answer it.

"y/n, i don't know if you've heard but the students from ua are coming here for a safety program so we need to stay in our area until then," dad says. "please come home."

"yeah i was just on my way, i was hanging out with mahoro and katsuma" i say, my eyes lingering on the plaque.

"yeah the principal has called me and they are restricted from our street so we are fine, i can drive you to work and pick you up if you want" he says. i say i'll think about it and we say bye.

"let's head back now" i say to the siblings. katsuma's face is pressed up against the gate to see inside but mahoro pulls him away.

"tomorrow, stay by my side and we're not going to talk to those heroes okay?!" mahoro tells katsuma. i can already tell that katsuma is just in his world.

it's been a week. dad dropped me off at work the next day and said to call him if anything happens and that my manager is already informed. we say goodbye to each other and i step out to work. wow it's pretty crowded.

"ah y/n!" my manager, kazehaya catches me. "come here! today you'll be working the back."

"okay" i follow him to our small greenhouse.

"here's the usual list to do, it's mostly watering and assembling flowers together for display," he says. "it's pretty full today because the heroe students arrived and the neighborhood close to them wants to welcome them, mostly the elderly."

"aw are you participating?" i joke. kazehaya's face turns red.

"26 is not old!" he yells in embarrassment. i laugh and he bonks my head before letting me go on my own. i'm very nervous but excited. i just want to see my friends again but... he scares me. i go to the big sink and fill up the watering can. i peep out the open window to see anything but i obviously don't. my cell starts to ring and i look to see if kazehaya is around.

"hello?"

"y/n! it's mahoro, have you seen katsuma?"

"no, i don't think he stopped by the shop" i say.

"if i still can't find him, can you help me during your break?" i contemplate it. i don't know if i should be walking around but katsuma can be in danger.

"y-yeah of course!" she thanks me and we say our goodbyes.

i hope katsuma is being careful and i should do the same.
