Izuku Midoriya had walked into work with his mind lost in thought, pondering this world's reality. His mind quickly refocused as soon as he stepped into the building because of the atmosphere.

"Good day, Mr. Midoriya!" He cheered, wiping down a table.

"G-Good morning, Mr. Gentle." Midoriya had a sweatdrop. 'He's always so energetic.'

"It really is a good morning! My, I believe La Brava should have finished the tea, care to join us before we open shop?"

"A-Ah, thanks but no, I should head up with Yui, she was pretty upset last time I was late." Izuku declined, beginning to head up one of the spiral staircases that led to the second floor.

"Ah, yes I can fondly recall your lover's spat."

"G-Gentle! N-No, it's not-, we're not like that!" He groaned out at the end. "Whatever." He began to drag his feet up the steps.

He worked in a hybrid two-story store, with stairs and a walkway to reach the second-floor entrance. The first floor was a café and the second floor was a bookstore. During shop hours the café would be booming with businesses while the bookstore had slow traffic, but people would occasionally come up to relax and hang out, usually to read while they enjoy their brew.

Izuku reached the second floor, his eyes scanning around the room looking for her. There was a window wall facing the city and streets, a register on the opposite end. On the farthest wall was a massive bookshelf that reached the ceiling. There were tables sprinkled around the center. There were a few more bookshelves lined up in columns around the tables in a U-shape giving it a cozy feeling, along with the wooden floorboards, completing the look.

His eyes landed on her. She was on her tiptoes, putting a book up on the wall, with her back turned to him. She was in work clothes too, except she wore a long black skirt with her shirt tucked in. The gray sky had an absent shine through the window wall and it reflected off her, both sharing the emptiness.

He was captured by her presence for a moment. Until Gentle's words smacked his thoughts. His cheeks heated up and he quickly averted his eyes. He finished his steps up the stairs, walking into the area, particularly to the register. "Hey, Yui."

She didn't say anything as she finished her task. She continued to prep for the workday. He let out a lazy sigh, putting his elbows on the platform next to the register. 'Yui runs the book store while Mr. Gentle handles the Café and La Brava is always in the kitchen. I'm just a work hand, to be honest.'

A book appeared in front of him with slender fingers holding it. He followed them up to her eyes. He replied to her unspoken words. "Hm, I don't know, the plot is okay but hard to follow sometimes because of the flashbacks and how vague the story tends to be and the characters are so fickle its frustrating and the main character, oh God, he's so angst."

She actually let out one giggle. "Like you."

"Ha, like you're one to talk. But it's not a bad read if you're trying to kill an afternoon."

She pulled the book back to her face, staring at it for a few more seconds. "Thank you." She went back to her work.

They had opened shopped and as usual, the first floor was busy with the second floor mild. He was standing in the same area he had been earlier but this time he was with his notebook, tapping his pen on it, creating absent dots next to his notes.

"Ne, you can totally help me out, right?"

A preppy voice brought him back to reality. "H-Huh?" He lifted his eyes to the girl standing across the register from him. Her eyes traveled down to his wide-open notebook.

"Wow, what's that? It looks pretty rad?" She leaned forward, trying to get a better view, giving him a better view of her cleavage.

He did his best not to sneak a peek but his eyes lingered and his cheeks tinted until he realized what she was staring at. He quickly shut his notebook and hid it behind his back, forcing a polite smile. "Y-Yes, of course, I can help. What is it that you need?"

"Oh, that's right, that's what I'm here for." She had a blank ditz before giggling it off. "I was looking for something that would, hm how you say, be a trip. Got anything like that?"

"Hm, a trip. Have you ever read Alice in wonderland?"

"Oh, I loved that movie as a kid!"

Midoriya had a sweatdrop hiding behind his head, keeping his worker's smile. "Ah, it is based on the book but it is different, and if you like it, check out its sequel."

"It sounds like a totes great idea, thanks! Well, bye." She waved before walking away.

"Eh? W-Wait, don't you want me to ring them up?"

"Hm? Oh no, I'll just check it out from the library."

"I feel cheated out of a sale..."

She giggled, covering her lips with her hand. "Tell you what, if I like it I'll come back and buy it. Ne, how does that sound?" She let out a teasing winking smile, her hand up in a peace sign, across her face.

"Y-Yeah, that sounds good." His eyes captured by her playful attitude, taking in her appearance. A pink, off the shoulder top, purposely suggesting her bust. She had faded jeans with matching pink sneakers, finishing it with a tilted white beret. She was posing, accentuating her hourglass figure.

"Bye, bye, Midoriya." Reading his name tag before lifting her smile slightly and turning to leave with a wave.

He waved back. He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding after she was gone. "Who was she?"

Yui was standing behind the counter next to him, off to the side, staring at his expression. For a moment she was quiet. She faced forward and blinked. "You dropped your notebook."

Izuku was writing something down on his notebook, still chilling at the register. He let his mind wander like usual but this time his thoughts were preoccupied with the spunky blonde from earlier.

"Mr. Midoriya it's almost sunset!" Gentle busted into the second floor through the back door.

"Hiee!" Midoriya was caught off guard. He fumbled with his notebook, dropping it off the counter and it flopped to the floor.

Yui stared at him and blinked. "You dropped your notebook... again."

"Y-Yeah, Yui, thanks." With a sheepish reply, picking it back up, before turning to Gentle. "Sunset already? I didn't realize."

"Here, I personally prepared it to her liking, now hurry up, she's our most valued customer, and the only reason you get paid." He was rushing him to the second-floor exit. He shoved Midoriya out and slammed the door on him. Izuku waited for a few seconds before it opened again. "Here." He mumbled without his flashy mannerisms, a bit embarrassed he forgot to hand Midoriya the satchel with the package. "And sorry." Closing the door.

Midoriya sighed but this time it had anxiety. 'In truth, this is the main part of my job. I am a delivery boy,' "Ah, but the thing is I only ever deliver to one person!" He groaned finishing his thoughts with words.

He was walking down the stairs of the second-floor walkway. He traveled through the bustling city streets but it always felt hollow, like if a fraction of people who would have filled the empty spots had vanished without a trace. The rain never was heavy, falling like lost snowflakes and always underwhelming.

Midoriya stepped into an alley, he checked around to make sure no one was around. When he confirmed he was alone, his eyes cracked with a spark. "Alright."

He did the Goku stretch lunging side to side on his legs before straightening out and tapping the toe of his shoe on the ground. "Full cowling, five percent!"

Electricity erupted out of him, with his veins glowing before settling down with the lightning radiating off him in fractured flashes. He took off with a bolt of speed, running and jumping through the back streets with blind agility.

'And of those twenty percent, I am one of the lucky ones who slipped through the cracks. My quirk was a power stacking one that developed over time instead of manifesting overnight, so when I was checked for a quirk at an early age, I was registered as quirkless. It wasn't until later that eventually, I figured out how to use it and ever since then I've kept it a secret but I can never help myself and use it when I can because of the high rush feeling I get... But still, that feeling of having it for a reason keeps nagging at me. Maybe if I keep using it then maybe I can figure out why I do have it.'

He caught onto a pole, flipping around it for momentum before launching himself. He kicked off a fire escape, zigzagging through the buildings. Midoriya had found a perfect path that led directly from the shop to her residence, that utilized his quirk. He darted around like a green lightning bolt, reaching the outskirts of the back alleyways, planting his feet on the ledge of the highest building. "Ten percent!" He gritted his teeth, testing himself, catapulting off.

He soared across the sky but he never reached past the clouds. He passed the city side, reaching her corner of the metropolis kingdom. He reinforced the strength of his quirk around his legs and feet as he began to land. He skidded with a few braking skips, finally slowing down and deactivating his quirk. He glanced around at the huge marble road he landed on. "Yup, I'm in their territory." He gulped, making his way through the path.

This area was vastly different than the city. It was full of trees with wide paths only meant for walking. No cars were allowed, but it was even empty of pedestrians.

Midoriya reached the front gate to their official residence, everything around them was just understood as theirs. He pressed the bell to the gate. There was no reply, they were already expecting him. The gates opened with a rusty creak, even the rain seemed to clear up for the entrance. He politely thanked them with the intercom and excused himself as he entered.

A shiver instantly traveled through him. It wasn't that he was scared of her, it was her family's power that scared him. But his anxiety was calming down, it always did as he got closer to the garden, his heart rate not knowing to slow down or speed up.

It skipped a beat as he saw her tending to her garden.

Her spiral ponytail always had a way of dancing with the wind no matter how melancholic. She was in a gray blouse dress with a big black bow tie on her back tied around her, under her bust. She was wearing black pantyhose with knee-high black boots. She was leaning down, giving her plants attention with a water sprinkler. She smiled when she was content inhaling the scent of a rose. A loose strand of hair fell opposite of her raven bangs. She lifted one hand to fix the loose strand of hair, tucking it behind her ear. Her ears perked to the sound of steps. She lifted her body with elegance pouring off of her with the lack of shine in the sky. She turned to the approaching Midoriya, her dress swaying with her movements, gracefully flowing. Her shoulders raised with her lips. Her content smile turning into a rose-tinted delight.

"A-Ah, Lady Yaoyorozu."

With her beloved voice, "Oh, Midoriya..!"
