Hanta Sero blinked a little boredly as he stood with his hands in his pockets, eyes scanning the party around him. Kaminari and Kirishima had dragged him to one of the parties from a neighboring high school. UA was a bit uptight but the two Ks had connections apparently and got invites, and originally he was all for it but now his social battery was slowly dying and he secluded himself on the back balcony, staring over the edge at the wasted students in the backyard lying in the grass or mingling.

Sero would go back to the dorms, but knowing the two Ks, they’d probably be wasted themselves, and he had to take care of them just in case. ”Hey,” he heard a casual voice from behind him and he turned his head. You. He’d never seen you before but that probably makes sense, you did go to a different high school and all.

”Hey, you” Sero returned the greeting, watching you come up to his side and also lean against the railings. Conversation had flowed more comfortably than any he’s had with anyone else. You two had a lot in common and spent the night laughing and getting to know each other, and a little more.

He ended up having to take Kaminari and Kirishima home afterwards, leaving only the memory of you fresh in his mind. He doubted he’d ever see you again, but he didn’t mind it. It would be a little embarrassing if y’all would catch each other in public.

Weeks later, Sero is running down the street, glancing to his left to the other side of the alley where the masked figure was also running. When he saw the figure pause and glance around to make sure they were alone, he rushed towards them, swinging and slamming his feet into their turned back, knocking them to the ground before he landed, ”Nowhere for you to go now” Sero huffed a little out of breath as he readied his tape, gazing down at the figure.

Whoever it was rolled over with a groan, clutching their back and glaring at him through the mask. ”Yeah yeah glare all you want” Sero rolled his eyes and went to lift the visor of his mask up, mostly to let in the chilly air and cool him off a little but when he did, the villain he knocked to the ground froze. What he didn’t know was that the villain was you, and you recognized him, but he couldn’t see past your mask so he couldn’t recognize you.
