Arc 4: I can be better

Tags: Just kisses, and lots of lore

Location: U.A Academy

"...Now you are to write your name here"

"Okay"

"And I thiiiiink- You are done yeah, that's all" I looked at the sheet with a proud smile

"And what happens next?"

"They will call you for a job, maybe patrolling or going on certain mission, its easier if you go with a hero agency, which reminds me you need to look for a hero agency once we are done with this Jack, I could recommend you to Reiko since she uhm..." She looked to the side "Likes you in certain ways, but I want you to build your own experience here. And before you ask Yoshi, I told him already to not help you with that, in other words I would like it if you relate to more people and Momo is going to help me with that"

"Cool..." I looked at her for a moment, staring down at those frog eyes of hers before giving her a quick kiss, taking her by surprise as she pushed me back.

"Jack what are you doing?!"

"Kissing you?"

"In public?"

"I don't mind"

"I do, What has gotten into you?"

"IIIIII- Want to be better... I think I can be a better person for you and Momo and everyone else in that classroom and make everyone proud and happy and they would have to not deal with me being a nuisance, I kind of want to be more like you guys, all happy and nice and comforting I want to be part of what you guys have going on, maybe make some friends too, I want to have many friends and I want to be liked its all. No more cynical and jerk Jack, just nice Jack, [Jackie boy!]" I said in english the last part

"... Are you sure you are okay? We can talk if you want to"

"Never been better, I realised I have been a huge jackass and I want to give back as much as I have been given" I grabbed Tsuyu by the shoulders "I will be someone you can be proud of and happy to be with, the best version of myself from now on"

"You sure you are okay? Kero."

"As sure as I can be" I let go of her shoulders

"Alright then but if you want to talk just let me know"

"Want to go for a walk before break's over?" I said with a soft smile

"Hmmmmm now you are starting to scare me"

"Wah! So mean! So definitely mean"

"And that's more like your usual you"

"I am being bullied absolutely bullied!"

Location: Classroom

"Alright and now let's get to the last part Aizawa said tired" He picked up a paper before reading it outloud for everyone "Hero work shall be again distributed so make sure to do some partners, but before we continue I would like to make a small announcement, I see that Jack has enrolled to do some hero work as well..." I blushed as I looked down at my own seat, being the center of attention felt off for me, I used to be more extroverted than that "Jack I want you to know that you will need to organise your schedule according to the work I am going to give you, I would usually ask you to get in partners but this time its a bit different since you want to do work on your own. Regardless you will be joined by one or a few of your classmates while working, Are you okay with this?"

"Yes of course!"

"I will await your schedule at the end of the class, meet me at the teacher's homeroom once you have it, sorry for making you do something as tedious like that, there will be days where you will be absent from class, its very likely it happens, so you will need free time to catch up on lessons as well, this is something everyone goes through"

"Nothing I haven't done before" I was about to salute him before I let down my hands on my seat, tapping them, nervous of course.

"Good to know, I will organise the work first, find you something suitable, even if I was given a debrief alongside open documents about your previous works as a hero, I still cannot simply throw you out there to the first thing that I want, so that will take me a bit of time, do not expect to go to a work that suits your quirk the best"

"I wasn't counting on that"

"Then let's move on..."

I was smiling, I was doing stuff! And the best part is that once this stuff was done I would be able to use it to send back at Nemo! And maybe avoid any punishment that be awaiting for me! Yup! THIS WILL WORK!!!!! EVERYTHING WILL WORK!!!!!!! I quickly took a deep breath to calm down and go back to a much more calm state. I felt someone poke my shoulder making me turn around seeing Momo smiling at me.

"Jack let me help you with the schedule later after class is over"

"Hm? Its just a schedule you don't need to help me"

"Uhmm I don't want to insult you but trust me its not as simple as you think okay?" I tilted my head confused but hey I won't say no to having free time with my girl.

"Sure! I wouldn't mind some help!"

"Alright see you later after class!"

Later after class

"I don't like this" I grabbed the schedule, everything had a colour in it and it made me feel a bit stressed out of having such a tight schedule ahead of me, it was almost like having weights on top of my back "I don't know what half of this means"

"Turn the page around" Momo said almost excited, the back was worse it had instructions for all the colours

"Alright I see, Cyan its normal class time, grey its hero work which I will be outside of the academy but I still have to follow Academy schedule and make hours, the purple is to catch up the classes I missed those days but there is nothing about the red, green and yellow"

"Red is time you will spend with me and green is time you will spend wit Tsu"

"Okay I like that one! And I guess yellow its time with both of you? Nice." I shot a smug smile, I was going to kiss them both so much

"Actually this yellow is only for this friday"

"Hm? What will happen this friday that you have to add it in yellow"

"Its Bakugo's birthday! And a day after that its Pony's birthday from class 3-b"

"Oh... Okay? And do you need me for something"

"We want to throw him a party"

"I understand that but- I assume you need my assistance?"

"Are you not coming? I think it would do you good if you bring him a gift and congratulate him and make more friends"

"I don't want to be rude but I don't like that guy, I mean we don't ever talk together but the little I have seen of him makes me feel awkward around him, can I not just skip it?"

"Jack would you be okay with people skipping your birthday?"

"Yeah, a lot actually I don't celebrate my birthday if ever..."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah I don't do that. My mom never threw me much birthday parties and my dad only sent a check once in a while when it was my birthday or it was around that time at least, it was meant to be money for me and she took it to buy herself stuff, BUT-BUT! I am not trying to gather sympathy or anything don't get sad, I am fine with that, birthdays, christmas, halloween- Well I do like halloween because of the free candy but like-" She looked a bit sad at me "I just said to not get sad"

"Jack you cannot comment something as depressing as that and not make me feel bad about you. Its decided! When its your next birthday I will throw a party for you!"

"... You really don't need to Momo I really don't care, a birthday date its just another day for me and-"

"Jack- Birthday please!"

"Fine, give me a moment" I pulled out my wallet to look at my specific date

"Jack you can't be serious, don't tell me that you don't know when you were born" She looked even more worried

"Yeah I am just messing with you" I smiled "May 15th" She covered her mouth, looking surprised as I looked left and right as to why that date is important.

"You are one day and one month before Tooru's birthday! That's really interesting! Can't wait for the party"

"You really don't have to."

"Why are you so against the idea of a birthday party Jack?"

"I am not against it... I am just- Its weird having one, I never had one and I never cared either, I wasn't going crazy about it, another day for me its all, its the day I was born, to top it off it was a birthing that have been calculated as well, a lot of my life was already been planned for me before I was even in conception, my parent wanted a weapon and I didn't come out as he wanted me to"

"Then" She looked a bit distressed "Do you want a birthday party Jack?" Her eyes pierced my soul I didn't want to see her even more sad than she was now, I was weak to both of them.

"I w-would like to experience one at least once in my life" I blushed "I think it would be cool"

"Then it will be the best birthday party you ever had"

"Fine."

"Now go hand this to Aizawa! And make sure to pick something good! H-hopefully something we can be paired up together maybe?"

"Oh yeah! That reminded me, you said you wanted to talk about something, What was it?"

"Uhm- Aaaaah- I think we should talk about it later"

"Hm? Is it something bad"

"n-not bad just something that I wanted to talk to you about, but later later! Its nothing bad I just want to, speak to you about, stuff, compromising and nice stuff"

"Compromising and nice shouldn't be in the same sentence"

"Jack go to Aizawa"

"Fine!!"

To Aizawa

"Alright. Now Jack, I have learnt about your quirk or at least what was debriefed to me once more, Nemo tends to be secretive about this things from what I can see"

"Yeah, we actually have a strike punishment system if we talk about or own quirks or other's quirks with people outside of the academy" Which reminds me this could get me in trouble if Ochaco speaks about it, I should tell her to keep quiet about any details I gave her.

"Any reason as to why"

"Yes sir, the school has a quote for it that goes 'You will face enemies from all over the world and not necessarily know what their quirks and abilities are, do not let your enemy know what type of quirk or abilities you have as well, keep the fight as balanced as you can and overwhelm them with your techniques'" He looked at me, a sleepy tired look, but I could almost feel he looked worried perhaps?

"Nemo its a military academy right?"

"Correct"

"Yet its a hero course as well"

"Correct, the academy mostly, not the whole island, having an academy named after an island its very confusing"

"Do you ever do courses to help in disaster zones, example when a tsunami strikes or a volcano shows up"

"Yes sir, but we focus more on dealing with villains"

"So fighting in other words. Like other military academies, not saying its wrong but I am not fully agreeing with that way of heroism"

"Sorry to hear that, I do think its necessary however"

"I would rather not discuss this with you. Not because I think that you are wrong or that your beliefs are biased, rather I don't have energy to do so. Instead I have decided what to give you as hero work"

"I am busting some evil guy's lair"

"No, I actually wanted to give you the opposite"

"Hm?" He handed me some document as I read the job "Urban planning, reconstruction and life improvement?"

"New Deika city was used ages ago by a whole villain terrorist group known as the Meta Liberation Army later known as the Paranormal Liberation Front, the city was left in shambles, destroyed by the two villain groups, we have already removed so much rubble after some years and we want to help build homes again, specially for those that were **** to move away due to the war, there is still people affected by it"

"So you want me to go build homes"

"Is there an issue with it?"

"None at all, my quirk will do great for that"

"That's one of the reasons I picked you, another one would be providing materials for those working there as well, you will have some people helping you that have already been linked to this work"

"May I know who?"

"Fumikage Tokoyami, Mina Ashido, Momo Yaoyorozu, Rikido Sato, Ochaco Uraraka, Yosetsu Awase, Yui Kodai and Setsuna Tokage"

"Wow that's a lot of people"

"Well it was a lot of destruction and there is a lot of houses"

"I know half of them"

"Some of them are from 3-B class, any doubts or questions?"

"No doubts, no questions, living cool life over here"

"It goes without saying that if you see and find something of interest to report it right?"

"Interest?"

"This was a villain lair, we don't know what resides there still, we have found no trouble so far but its better to stay alert"

"Sir yes sir"

"You can go now, make sure to be prepared for tomorrow and bring your hero outfit with you"

"Hero what now?"

"Whatever you use when you do hero rounds"

"Oh I don't wear anything, I have my military uniform"

"Whatever you prefer but make sure it lets everyone know that you are a hero as well" I nodded at that, I needed a proper hero outfit it seems thinking off didn't Momo say she had a costume for me? Maybe I can ask her back at her room.

Location: Heights Alliance, Bedrooms

"You look happier than I was expecting, kind of a crazy smile you see in scary movies"

"I agree with Jack, Kero" Tsuyu said as she wanted to see what was going on not expecting such a strong reaction from Momo, Momo cleaning her happy tears.

"Of course I am happy! That means that my plan of making Jack be more open its working, first he allows me to make his hero costume, then he lets me help with his schedule, now he wants to see the costume, overall he is finally being more open to himself and therefore being a better hero too! I have always pictured Jack to be a very serious and angry hero similar to Bakugo but with this I know he could do a proper hero and if I ever open an agency-"

'Oh shit the agency my dad is still doing that is he not?' I thought to myself as no one else knew what was oging on behind the screen, I have gotten too comfortable in the academy, then again I like the academy and how nice I am treated, if they asked me to be their pet I would agree at this point.

"- I am sure he could do a great ally!"

"Well I am curious to see what costume you have"

"I know Jack doesn't like heroic tropes and he seems to be someone who enjoys being more in the mature side so I wanted to give him a cooler look, issue is that even though I have the costume I cannot picture him well on it, I think he should look good"

"Then let's see it! I am honestly a bit hyped about it" I honestly was for once.

"Good good, then wait right here" Momo left the room with a smile as I awaited alone with Tsuyu.

"You seem more strange lately I really wonder what happened to you this weekend with Ochaco and Inko"

"I already told you I want to be someone you can be proud of, I don't want to be the guy you just kiss and bang... Although if you want to kiss and bang me right now"

"Pass."

"Wack- You know if you think about it, there are many factors that got us together at the end of the day, me being offered to come to Japan, the extended contract, the staying at my house, we could call it one of those butterfly effects, even being born as a male counted for it and all this together could lead to us kissing in this room"

"You saying that stuff lead to me not wanting to kiss you"

"Very wack yo!"

"Hmmm you are acting too strange. I don't like it, Do you really not want to talk?"

"I promise nothing bad... Besides the usual- Its going on right now. I honestly just want to be better, I am not sure how to say it but I think I've lived too much being angry and miserable about myself that I don't want downs anymore and I just want ups... I also realised that if you were to gain a few more pounds I would love you regardless" Tsuyu quickly slapped my head. "I thought you wanted me to talk as usual" I said laughing to myself.

"I guess I was wrong."

Momo came back with a happy smile on her face handing me a box that seemed to contain the suit she had been so dilligently worked on the last few weeks, I wasn't sure how to react I was about to open it but she quickly stopped me before pushing me inside the closet. "No no Jack change first and then show it to us! That's how you are supposed to do these things, if you just see it with your eyes you won't be able to picture it! Go change first"

"You are enjoying this quite a lot, How about we have a date again at the clothing store?"

"Again?"

"Oh right I guess the first time we went out was not a date... Regardless we should go there one day"

Once in the closet I looked at the box, taking out all the clothes she gave me, she really chose things I like. There was even one of those hero masks to hide my identity, in hindsight this wasn't so bad! I wanted to do this! And besides maybe I could make them wear their hero outfit for sexy times? I started to blush at the idea of that, I was becoming more perverted that was for certain. As I put on the clothes I started to give myself little poses and realised "I- I look good"

"Jack is everything okay?"

"YUP! Everything is perfect oh my god, wearing hero costumes is awesome, its so silly but so cool too!"

"I am glad you like it!" I heard Momo exclaim on the other side as excited as I was "Can I see?"

"Hell yeah you can, your man its looking dashing!" I opened the door showing her my look "What do you think? I am looking great right?" I posed for her, turning around, flexing, jojo pose anything that would make me look more dashing, I have never felt so good.

"So what do you think I look good right?"

"I like it" Tsuyu said not showing much emotion but that was the usual while on the other hand Momo's face from excitement changed to one of... I am not sure what her expression was, almost as if thinking, worried, analyzing maybe all of them together.

"Momo, Tsuyu is hating on me because I look good, please scold her" That got a reaction out of her, seeing that she got snitched out of nowhere.

"I said I like it"

"But you were supposed to say you love it, because I look sooooo good!"

"Hmmmm... I hate it" Momo simply said, my heart broke in pieces.

"W-what? But you made the costume! What do you mean you hate it"

"No, I get it, of course I made it but, its not what I expected, the military pants I thought were a good idea since Nemo is a military school from what I read and you told me and the green shirt did well, but the red coat on top was to be a similar function to what you said about me wearing a cloak or a coat as well, to hide anything that you make and that's the issue both colours are clashing, the mask does well but its a bit useless taking on account that your appearance is very notable so all it does is impair your vision eventually, I didn't add shoes or gloves since you needed contact to the ground but that's not a good look either."

"You are analyzing this wayyyyy too much I look really good"

"Overall, if you remove the coat, and take off the mask you are just cosplaying some guy that likes military outfits, the belt works well so you can keep elements you need to change when you are not in contact with the ground so that can stay but the rest has nothing that outshines or that marks you as a hero, it looks too simple and bad, I thought you could pull off the look but this doesn't work for you, I will have to start from zero"

There goes my ego "I-I like it..."

"I am glad you like it, but Jack if it weren't for that cloak you are not a proper looking hero, its someone back at Nemo wearing military clothes often by any chance? Cause if so you are just stealing their look as well alongside anyone who dresses like that, added to that you could be insulting a veteran too"

She wasn't wrong! Blackout hero's outfit its acutally similar he has a military jacket with many pockets inside and his outfit its also similar to the school uniform I look similar to him... "But I like it still"

"That's fine but you are not wearing that" She tried to grab it but I moved away

"I want to wear it!"

"Jack but it looks bad!"

"No it does not!"

"You have bad taste!"

"Tsuyu! Momo is saying mean things! Scold her!" I started to run away in my room from her so she wouldn't take away my super awesome hero costume.

"I am not scolding her, kero." Momo was all over me trying to take my hero cloak and hero shirt and hero pants off me.

"She is getting me naked and not in the good way!! WAAAAAAH" I screamed as Momo just blushed hearing that.

"Jack don't go tomorrow with those clothes!"

"I refuse I WILL GO THERE WITH THIS CLOTHES AND YOU CAN TAKE THEM OFF LATER AND- someone is coming" I said in a normal voice as I felt someone's steps getting closer to my bedroom. "And they are definitely coming here because they just skipped the bedroom next door, its a girl, fuzzy hair average height- horns and-"

"Mina." Tsuyu said as she opened the window "Talk later Jack" and quickly climbed up to her own room

"... So you are going to stay on top of me? Remember that our relationship its kinda secret and-" Momo quickly looked everywhere, somewhere to hide before entering the closet not before saying to me.

"You are not taking that tomorrow" She whispered

And I whispered back "Yeah I am" I shoot a smug look at her before I heard Mina knocking at my door. "Comiiiing!~" I said knowing damn well there was nothing for Momo to be able to do to stop me now, I liked teasing them both so much. "Hello there, How can I help you- Oh stranger?" I looked at Mina who had a mischievous look on her face, similar to the one I had right now.
