The night cast the dormitory building into a dim light, all the students retreated to their own rooms to settle in for the day.

Izuku sat at his desk, notebooks scattered in front of him as he reviewed with a focused intensity. He mumbled to himself, words falling from his lips without even realizing.

Under the table he curled a weight in his hand. He had to keep in shape after all, slaking wasn't an option for him!

The sound of a knock on his door had him startled out his focus, his head whipping towards the sound.

He blinked in surprise, not expecting a visitor this late...

"Ah- Coming!" He called, setting the weight down and pattering over to the door.
