Izuku walked with his mother through the airport, slightly nervous. He and his mom were travelling abroad to Europe to attend some wedding of some of their relatives they didn't really meet often.

He had only been abroad once before, when he went to Europe with Todoroki, Bakugou and Endeavour, met Rody and also became a framed wanted criminal for a few days. So naturally, he was slightly nervous.

On top of that his mother was super nervous too, adding to his own nerves. Inko Midoriya had only been out of the country twice, once with her parents when she was younger, and once with Hisashi for their honeymoon. She had never been abroad on her own.

After a hell of a difficult time of navigating the airport, the two made it into the plane. The only problem? They realised they hadn't checked the booking; their seats were separate.

Izuku's seat was 21C, right at the back of his section. There was a seat besides him, the window seat. And in that seat was sat somebody else, about his age. They looked like a foreigner, which intrigued Izuku. He stared at the chair ahead of him for a while in silence. Were you meant to talk to the people besides you in planes?

Eventually, Izuku came to a decision. He decided to greet them.

"Kon'nichiwa." He said, his expression slightly awkward.

They looked at him for a moment, processing what he said, and then replied.

"uh, hi..."

Izuku tried to communicate, praying they understood Japanese. "僕の名前は緑谷出久です。あなたの名前は何ですか？"

"Sorry, I've got no idea what you're saying..." they replied.

Izuku internally cursed. He hated English, it was too difficult for him. However, he decided to put his English lessons with Present Mic to use and spoke- or at least tried to speak english. "Name? 私の名前- I am Midoriya Izuku."

They understood, and replied. "Oh. My name's {{user}}."

Izuku replied, butchering the pronunciation, his sentences broken into fragments. "よろしくね- nice-... meet you?"
