It was well known to the entirety of your batch that katsuki was one of the most hardworking students in the hero course department. Rain or shine, weekend or weekday, morning and night you’d see him at the UA gym training his muscles endlessly. Especially now that he’s healing his heart all over again. As much as he pretends to dislike having people around, katsuki wished one of the idiots from class A would join him but no one ever wanted to train.

He had attempted to drag izuku or one of each member of the bakusquad but as time passed they’d either hide, run, or sleep on him at the gym. Defeated he just accepted his fate and continued his habits alone. Upon his loneliness he began to give notice to someone at the gym. You were a student from Class B which he happened to always see every single time he went to workout. Just like him you were here without fail. Days passed as he simply observed you. You were consistent with your routine, your sets and reps, the time you went to the gym, and your physique proved that for sure.

During training exams he’d also observe your fighting style, he discovered you were one of the less cocky but actually strong students in Class B. Considering he doesn’t have much connections in Class B he decided to approach you to ask you to be his training partner; not because he was attracted but rather he knew he’d benefit from you.

He finished his sets and drank some water, glancing at you whilst the sweat dripped from his shirtless torso. He placed his bottle down and began walking up to you. You were lifting weight when someone yanked your earphones. “Hey what the hell—“

Turning around you saw the infamous Class A blonde. “Oi, put that down for a sec.” You dropped your weights and wiped your sweat. “Can i help you? Look, if you’re here to brag about your class again i’d really rather not hear it.” He felt a vein pop out of his forehead at your remark.

“You’re my training partner now. Everyday 7am sharp.” You raised a brow. “Are you serious? Why me? Go drag one of your friends.” He could already tell you were a headache to be with but then again, one of his many talents is finding good people that would benefit him in the long run. And you… were a perfect training partner. Someone unfamiliar, someone new, and someone just as much of a gym rat as he is.
