A/N: Mikoto and Shouto bond during the internships.

Flames, Ice, and Snow scattered all around Geysis' training grounds as Shouto and Mikoto fight their hardest aganist their instructor. But no matter what they do. Geysis is always one step ahead of them.

A blast of smoke emerged through the battle field. As soon as it vanished,
both boys were still standing but utterly exhausted. Geysis walked through the smoke with a smirk on his face.

Geysis: Be prepared boys, I've been working on this move for a while.

Mikoto: (W-What is he going to do?)

Shouto: (That doesn't sound good....)

Geysis: Burning Frost-Creeping Darkness...

-Plus Ultra-

Shouto and Mikoto were now on the ground. They been beaten and defeated.

???: Oi! You idiot! You took things too far!

A man walked into the training ground with a med-kit.

Geysis: I don't see what the problem is, Koru-kun.

Koru: You need to remember that you're going up aganist young heroes in training. With your power, you could've ended up killing them, you baka!

Geysis:....Still don't see the problem.

Koru whacked him in the head with a paper fan.

Koru: The PROBLEM is they're just kids!!!! I can't believe you used that new move on them! WHAT IF THEY DIE?! HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT?!!

Burning Frost-Creeping Darkness

A new move used by Geysis, which fires a blast of dark energy. Enveloping the entire battle field in Darkness. Flames of the enemy's chest will respesent their souls. After a delay the flame distinguish, paralyzing the target as well as dealing with an medium-strength damaged to all targets affected.

Shouto nor Mikoto stood a chance.

Koru: They should take a break. I'm serious.

Geysis scowls at his partner but nodded.

Geysis: Geez. You're too soft sometimes.

Koru: And you're too critical!

Night, one of Geysis' sidekicks, comes in to see the two men arguing and the two interns passed out on the ground. Fross was not far behind as she gave Mikoto and Shouto looks of pity.

Night: I think they're dead...

Fross: Well...I did say he wouldn't go easy on them.

Night: Yep...

Fross: *Sighs* Honestly, you two sound just like an old married couple.

Geysis/Koru: SHUT UP WOMAN! WE ARE NOT A COUPLE!

Fross: Then stop arguing like idiots and get these two some medical attention!

-Later-

Mikoto: I thought I was gonna die....

Shouto: *Deadpanned* I think we both almost did...

Mikoto: Ya think?!!

Shouto:.....

Mikoto: *Sighs* This training had been nothing but a killer.

Shouto: Yeah....

Both stayed quiet for a minute until Mikoto decided to be the one to make an conversation.

Mikoto: Hey Uh...Wanna get some ice cream after this...?

Shouto: I don't know...

Mikoto: Whaaaaaat?! How can you turn down ice cream! This is the perfect time to get some!

Shouto: The old man wouldn't allow me to eat sweets. He thinks it'll be waste of time for my training.

Mikoto frowned. I mean he gets that you can't eat sweets all the time but seriously...?! Not eating sweets at all, that sucks.

Mikoto: Well...The old man ain't here.. is he?

Shouto:....Nope.

Mikoto: Then Ice Cream!!!

Shouto: *Sighs* Alright...

Mikoto: Yaaaaay!

Shouto: You sure such a child, Mikoto.

Mikoto: *Pouts* Now that was cold and blunt! More or less, I am a child and so are you! Keep that up, and I'll keep calling you Zuko!

Shouto:.......I still don't know why you keep calling that.

Mikoto: Watch Avatar: The Last Airbender and you'll understand.

Shouto:....The old man wouldn't allow me to watch television either.

Mikoto:.......You need help.

-Plus Ultra-

Mikoto manages to get himself a chocolate mint ice cream. One of his favorites.

Mikoto: Yummy~! What you get Shou-?!

He looked at Shouto's ice cream to see it was a vanilla ice cream with strawberry swirl.

Shouto:.....What?

Mikoto: Pffft! Even the ice cream looks like you! Hahahaha!

Shouto: ???

Mikoto: That is so cute!

Shouto: You're an odd one, Mikoto.

Mikoto: So are you, you need to live a little. Sure we're young heroes in training. But you should relax and enjoy life in being a teenager as well.

Shouto: I see...

Mikoto: Also...The reason why I say this is because...I want to get to know you...

Shouto: Really....?

Mikoto: Yes. You're my cousin...I...still feel guilty for not being to help you after all this time. That's why I thought it'll be alright for us to get some ice cream...

Shouto: Hmm....

Mikoto: I mean...usually when I'm feeling sad or low...ice cream makes me feel better. What makes you feel better Shouto...

Shouto:....Soba...and usually seeing my siblings...and seeing Mom too.

Mikoto: See. There you go. Something that makes you happy. It was really great meeting Auntie Rei too.

Shouto: She wouldn't stop apologizing when she first saw me...I guess she still hadn't forgotten about...the incident...

Mikoto: Yeah...But it was in the past...a decade at least...you forgiven her and that's all that matters.

Shouto:.....

Mikoto: Does... Endeavor know that you visit her....?

Shouto felt a little angry hearing the man's name but shook his head.

Shouto: Not that I know...I don't think he even cares if I go visit her...He never even bothers to see her anyway.

Mikoto: (Jerk...and to that to his own wife too...But that's strange...So he doesn't care if Shouto see his mother but why wouldn't he let Mom see Auntie Rei...?)

Shouto: Mikoto...

Mikoto: Yeah...?

Shouto: I wanted to thank you.

Mikoto nibbled at some of his ice cream before looking at his cousin in confusion.

Mikoto: For what...?

Shouto: Helping me...You and Midoriya...back at the festival...

Mikoto: Oh...don't worry about it...Though it was Izuku's idea...

Shouto: But...you were the one who asked him too...because you were worried about me...

Mikoto: Yeah...I was...

Shouto: I'm sorry...

Mikoto: Don't be...You went through a lot Shouto. I just...didn't want to leave and forget about you again like I did when I was a kid....

Shouto: Mikoto. It's not your fault.

Mikoto:....Okay...and it isn't your fault either...No one besides Endeavor is at fault. For now, let's just focus on our own futures and support our classmates as well.

Shouto: Yeah...

Mikoto: Hey...If it's not too much of the trouble...You can come over to my place sometime...Mom mentions you sometimes. Dad would also like it to meet you after such a long time. He's working his butt off in trying to make a good meal for you. Fuyumi can come too.

Shouto:....Yes...I would like that. I'm sure Fuyumi would be delighted as well.

Mikoto saw the small smile return on Shouto's face.

He'll do anything to protect that smile.

Mikoto: So...Cousins for life~~~?

Shouto gave him a weird look before nodding.

Shouto: Cousins for life.

The two cousins hugged it out.

A peaceful tranquility set adrift around them before it was interrupted by a large beeping sound.

Mikoto: Oh sorry. That's my phone.

Mikoto looks at the ID caller and saw it was Izuku.

Mikoto: Hey Izuku.

Deku: H-Hi Miichan!

Mikoto noticed the strain in Izuku's voice.

Mikoto: Is something wrong...?

Deku: S-Somewhat. Do you got Iida-kun's phone number? I tried calling him but he wouldn't answer. I ask Uraraka-chan and he wouldn't answer her either...

Mikoto: Hmm...(How peculiar...)

Shouto: ...Maybe he just busy. Heard he's interning with Manual.

Mikoto: Okay. I'm sure he's fine Izuku. I'm sure he isn't the type of person to run into danger.

Deku: Y-Yeah...Maybe you're right. I'm probably just worrying over nothig...I gonna go now. Bye.

Mikoto: Yeah. Bye.

The two hanged up on each other.

Mikoto: Well...that was strange...

Shouto: Really strange...

Mikoto looks at his cousin feeling a bit wary.

Mikoto: You don't think he would...

Shouto:....Let's hope not...

Mikoto:.....

Geysis: Boys? There you are!

Mikoto: Ah! Geysis-Sensei!

Geysis: I've been looking for you two.

Shouto: Is it time to go on patrols.

Geysis: That too. But now there's a change of plans...

Mikoto: Eh....?

Geysis: I just gotten a call from Manual...We're heading over to Hosu City...

Mikoto: W-Why?

Shouto: *Raised eyebrow*

Geysis: Turns out...the boy he's interning, Iida Tenya, had gone missing in Hosu City....
