Shinso had only just finished getting changed, when there was a knock on the door indicating (y/n)'s arrival. He took one last glance in the mirror before walking over to the door. He then placed his hand over the door handle and pulled down, the first thing to greet him was the sight of (y/n) still in her UA uniform; with her arms behind her back.
"Hey Inso", she greeted him happily.
"Hey (f/n)- what's behind your back?", He asked curiously.
"Oh? Getting straight to the point are we?. Well anyway if you really wanna know.... Close your eyes", she instructed.
Shinso was hesitant but closed his eyes nonetheless. He heard some shuffling, (y/n) moving her arms a he assumed.
"Okay, open", she said happily.
It took a moment for shinso to realise what was happening, but once his senses came to him he realised (y/n) was holding something in front of him.
"My mask?", he asked amazed by how fast (y/n) worked.
"Yep, sure is!", she was so happy to see the shocked look on shinso's face; staying up was worth it.
"What? How?" He was absolutely amazed.
"Well if you're asking what's new, it's made out of a different material then your old one; it's a lot more resistant to things such as heat, cold, fire ect., there's a few updates- technology wise- oh! It's also a lot lighter then your old one so it's easier access." She beamed excitedly.
"Holy shit! Wait, how did you do it so fast?" He asked.
"I... kinda stayed up...a little late" she mumbled, not wanting to lie but also not wanting him to feel bad.
"(Y/n)! You should rest!" He said sternly.
"Hey! You can't lecture me about sleep." She spat in retaliation.
"Well yeah, but still- you need sleep." he said shaking his head slightly.
"I will..... after ice cream", she said happily.
"Fine." He agreed.
"Oh yeah and you're paying!" She said.
"Fine." He agreed again knowing that it was the least he could do.
"Oh and Inso?" All she got was a groan as an indication to continue talking "you can tell me your proper name later, after ice cream".
After Shinso and (y/n)'s little catch up they headed of to the ice cream shop around the block.
The walk was pleasant shinso and (y/n) soon we're walking in sync down the empty streets. On their way shinso couldn't help but think about his mask back at home and how much effort she would have gone through.
There was a pleasant silence fell between them, the only sounds were the cars in the distance and the soft taps of their shoes.
"Hey uhh where are we going?" (Y/n) asked suddenly breaking the silence. Shinso then realised that he was zoning out and took the wrong turn which lead them....to the park no one visits anymore. "Are we lost?".
"Uhh so don't hate me... but we took the wrong turn.." he mumbled slightly embarrassed by him getting lost in his thoughts. "We can get ice cream on the way back, wanna chill here for a bit?" He offered.
He didn't even realise that (y/n) was no longer by his side- inside she's hanging upside down like a kid in the monkey bars.
"Come on Inso! It's fun!" The girl laughed.
"(Y/n)! You're wearing a skirt don't go upside down!" He shouted turning his back on her; trying to give the girl privacy.
"Oh don't be silly! I'm wearing shorts!" She said proudly.
"Of course she is, swear she'll be the death of me one day.." he mumbled as he walked to the monkey bars to join her.
Shinso grabbed the bar and pulled himself up to sit at the top with his feet dangling in the air, (y/n) then sat right next to him, copying his actions.
"So... the hero corse huh?" She mocked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, yeah I only got in recently... my quirk wasn't really great for the entrance exams." He mumbled looking out further in the park that was only over grown with weeds, but not overbearing.
"What is your quirk anyway?" She asked turning her head to the side; looking shinso in the eyes.
"Brainwashing.", he mumbled in a bored tone but, in reality he was scared that she would think differently of him.
"Sick, how does it work?" She asked.
"Do you like the department of support?" He suddenly asked, but what (y/n) wasn't aware of was the fact that this was apart of his quirk.
"What? Wh-" her sentence was cut short when suddenly she wasn't in control anymore.
It was liked she was watching a movie; seeing everything as it happens, but can't do anything.
"What do you think of my quirk?, honestly" he asked.
"I think it is a useful quirk for the hero corse and I can tell one day you'll be a great hero. I hope one day i'll be standing by your side while you progress and grow" she said honestly without hesitation.
To say Shinso was shocked was an understatement but, he wasn't the only one shocked by what she said; (y/n) was still trying it process what she said.
"Huh, so that's how it works... you ask a question and if they reply- you get control over them". Shinso was surprised that she got his quirk information correct by just one observation.
"Yep. People called it villainous while growing up...I don't think anyone other than my friends have said anything positive about it... so it's not really a quirk I'm proud of", he mumbled while avoiding eye contact with a now concerned look.
"Inso.....",she trailed off.
"Shinso", he mumbled shyly.
"What?", She asked, not hearing him properly.
"It's Shinso- my name. Shinso Hitoshi. Feel free to call me whatever." He said with a small smile.
"I thought we agreed you'd wait till after the ice cream" she whined playfully.
"Meh. Thought if I'm telling you my background story- my might as well know my name" he mumbled logically.
He though she was going to say something after that whole name being revealed and childhood story but he was meet with a small, comforting embrace.
"You really are a hero Hitoshi", she whispered before place her head on his shoulder while they continued to relax on the top of the monkey bars.

The walk to the ice cream was pleasant, both shinso and (y/n) walked in a comfortable silence; lost in their own thoughts.
"You're right ya'know." (Y/n) blurted out of no where.
"About what?" Shinso questioned.
"About me being weirdly close to guessing your name. I mean Shinso and inso sound very similar", she said with a proud smirk.
"Yeah, yeah" shinso mumbled before continuing on with their walk.
Before anymore conversation could strike up the two teenager arrived at the ice cream shop.
"Hello, what can I get you?" A young lady- around their age greeted them.
(Y/n) noticed how the girls eyes landed straight onto Shinso- and never left him. Her smile was for him, so was that flirty look. What was this? Anger? (Y/n) couldn't pinpoint the emotion she was feeling but she didn't like how this lady was acting towards Shinso.
"I'll have a vanilla, one scoop....", He trailed off waiting for (y/n) to finish the order
"Oh right, I'll have one scoop of (f/f)", (y/n) said.
"Right!", She said with a wider smile pointed in Shinso's direction.
"Right....", shinso mumbled as he watched her slowly prepared their ice cream.
After the girl finally had their ice cream done and ready for check out she decided to try one last attempt to strike up conversation with Shinso.
"So is that all or is there something else you'd like? Like...my number, perhaps", she flirted blinking her eyelashes.
"Uh, no thanks", he politely declined.
"Aww... you're not taken, are you?", She said as she tilted her head on the side trying to act 'cute'.
"Uh.." Shinso didn't know what to do.
"Actually he is", (y/n) said quickly as she slipped her hand into his. Shinso was happy that (y/n) stepped in for him- he didn't know what else to do.
"Hmph, very well then", was all the girl said before taking the cash that Shinso had in his hands.
After the ice cream fiasco they began to walk back to the direction of (y/n)'s house with their hands still interlocked.
"Ya'know we've left the ice cream shop, we don't gonna keep holding hands", shinso mumbled shyly.
"I know, I just wanna hold you hand- is that okay?", she asked about to let go.
"Of course, it's okay", he mumbled slightly holding her hand a bit more firmly.
The rest of the walk was with a comfortable silence that both teenager didn't want to break until they arrived back at (y/n)'s house.
"Thanks for walking me home", (y/n) said gratefully.
"Thanks for saving me back at the ice cream shop", he responded.
"Anytime, do you wanna have some tea?", she offered.
"Sure", shinso happily agreed.
.
.
.
"What type of tea do you want?", She asked.
"Uh, do you have green tea?", Shinso curiously asked.
"Ok sure thing".
After turning the kettle on (y/n) quickly dashed to her room leaving Shinso alone in the living room. Shinso noticed some picture frames on one of the shelves and decided to take a longer look, after realising that this is his first time being in her house.
While looking at one of the frames he saw a toddler with (h/c)- it was (y/n) when she was a toddler! Looking a little closer he saw two people in the frame with her. A woman with the same (h/c) hair, and a man with the same (e/c) eyes as her- they must be her parents.
A small shift from behind him caught his attention, turning around he saw (y/n) standing there holding a paper filled folder.
"What's that?", he instantly asked.
"Oh right, well um. Kaminari gave me this folder and quote-on-quote said "hey (y/n), give this to Inso would ya? There new maths content." So my best guess is that you've missed some new content.", She said with a small smirk at the distressed face Shinso pulled.
"N-new maths content?! On the one day I'm gone?!", Shinso was beyond stressed. (Y/n) just left off a small cheeky laugh.
"If it's really that bad, I can help", she offered.
"No offence, but what would you know about maths?", he said challenging.
"You....you do realise...I'm like one of the top academic students in our grade, right?", She giggled while out smarting Shinso.
"Wait, really?!", all of a sudden he realise just how little he knows about her.
"Yup", was all she said before heading back to the kitchen to retrieve the tea.
"Tea's here, do you want to start the maths now or another day?", she asked.
"I mean I'm free tomorrow, just remember you need to sleep. Especially after that staying up all night stunt you pulled with my mask.", He ordered.
"Well I mean... the mask is finished, am I right?", she retaliated with a smug face.
"Yeah but you need sleep!", he said with a small smile; enjoying this playful banter.
"Well I mean...", she didn't really had much else to respond with other than a laugh; she too was enjoying the company. They both started to sip the tea talking- about nothing in general, just school and other random subjects.
"Wait so if you're really one of the top in our grade, then why didn't I see you around last year?" He asked trying to get to know her a bit better.
"I was meaning to apply for UA in the first year but I never did. However I applied for this year and I got in", she briefly explained.
"So before you were going to a normal school?", he asked.
"Yeah, but my grades were really high so I got quite a few recommendations to the school and Principle Nezu ended up having an interview with me and thought that the department of Support was the correct fitting for me." She answered, not going over many details.
"Why not the Hero's corse? You seem smart enough.", he said honestly.
"My quirk wasn't fitted well enough for hero stuff..."she mumbled.
"Now that I think about it.... What is your quirk?", he suddenly inquired.
"Uh it's advanced memory, basically- It's easier for me to... remember things...I guess", she said hesitantly; like she was lying.
"Right...", Shinso tailed off not wanting to make her uncomfortable.
"So when are your parents showing up?", He asked, noticing no parents have showed up.
"Uh they work over seas", again dropping signs of discomfort.
"And why don't you live in a dorm?", he didn't mean to pry into her business but, he was genuinely curious.
"I... don't really... like people..." she mumbled looking away.
"Fair enough.", he simply said not wanting to make her anymore uncomfortable.
After the two friends finished their tea and conversation (y/n) started to walk shinso out.
"Remember to see me tomorrow, I'll help you with that maths content." She happily said.
"Yeah I'll see you around school, then maybe we can walk home together?" He asked.
"Oh yeah! I'll see you tomorrow at school." (Y/n) said with a large smile.
(Y/n) bid her friend farewell and watched as he walked back to the direction of the dormitories.
For the remaining of the night (y/n) kept of thinking about all the new memories they created. Them walking to the park, shinso opening up to her about his quirk, the ice cream incident- well more so the whole hand holding thing, tea and conversation. To her these were the perfect memories.
