>:3 HEYHEHEHEHE!! CARRIE HAS SPOKEN!! Ive actually been wanting to draw these two sillies together so this was my excuse to!! I love them so much your honor.- @carrie-tate

Six months ago, the war between the heroes and villains was won. 

Shigaraki was defeated and is scheduled to be executed along with All For One so nothing like this will happen again; the world is now at peace. Classes 1A and 1B have suffered a lot of minor injuries (some more than others), but thankfully nothing fatal, all walking from the battle victorious (except Mineta, because he was squashed flat by a giant beast). The heroes who have fought life and limb for the world were now able to breathe some fresh air of freedom and victory, but not before mourning those who have lost their lives in battle. And at Class A, the students decided to hold a private party. Among the 20 students was young Akio Koutau, a former transfer student and in a year and three months, he and his fellow classmates are soon to be pro heroes.

It’s October now. UA High has decided to provide a two-week break for all classes to rest. After classes were dismissed for the day, Class A’s resident alien queen proposed an idea. “Costume party on Halloween!” She cried out, to be followed by lots of cheering from the residents of the dorm complex. Everyone was wondering what theme the party should be. Eventually, it was decided the theme should be a duo cosplay. The couples, which consisted of Koutau and Jiro, Midoriya and Uraraka; Asui and Tokoyami, Todoroki and Yaoyorozu, Kirishima and Bakugo, Kaminari and Ashido, and Hagakure and Ojiro, quickly paired with each other. The remaining classmates had to figure out their pairs, eventually all pairs were set. 

“So, what duo ideas were you guys thinking of?” Akio asked Midoriya and Todoroki. “Yaoyorozu suggested that the both of us do Gomez and Morticia, but I think she is still thinking of other choices,” the dual-haired boy answered the singer hero while showing an image of the aforementioned gothic couple. “And what about you, Deku” “Well, Ochaco and I settled on Peter Pan and Wendy, but were still pondering of doing it normally, or do a genderbend version, since her quirk can make stuff float,” Deku answered Tenor’s question, showing picture of a boy with pointy ears and green clothes with a girl in her nightgown. “So, what about you and Jiro?” Kaminari suddenly asked Koutau, surprising the trio. “Well, we honestly have no clue. I have some ideas for duo cosplay, but they’re mostly from some of my favorite musicals, but other than that, we don’t really have any choices,” the blunette answered the blonde. 

But all of a sudden, Shota Aizawa, Class A’s advisor, and Pro Hero Eraserhead, entered into the common room with a now seven-year-old Eri. His personality has certainly changed a significant bit since the war, mostly due to him taking care of the girl for a little over a year, granted he still is exhausted and brash towards his students, but he still has softened up for the sake of his adoptive daughter. The students all quickly crowded Eri, welcoming the shy girl with open arms. “Hi, Eri. Kamusta ka ngayong araw?“ Koutau greeted Eri in his native tongue. Eri has also been hanging out with him more often, allowing him to teach Tagalog to her, she’s gotten used to basic greetings, but she’s still practicing prolonged conversation. “Masarap ang pakiramdam ko, Koutau-san. Salamat,” she greeted back, earning a smile from the Filipino lad.

“AAAAHHHHHHHH!”

The moment of peace was suddenly interrupted by a scream, startling everyone. The scream came from Jiro as she blindly ran out of the late blue and pink afternoon, through the common room, covering her head with her jacket, concealing her face and hair. But Akio noticed a flash of something yellow and sapphire-blue following her. “Kyoka, wait! What’s wrong?” He called, following the girl to the elevator, but the doors closed before he could make it. So he ran up the stairs to her dorm as fast as his legs could carry him, but Jiro quickly slammed her door before Akio had the chance to stop it. “Kyoka, what’s up in there? Can I come in?” “Not now, earbud. I’m not feeling well,” Kyoka said on the other side of the door. “Please, if there’s something wrong, tell me.”

“Please, not now, nya,” Akio’s ears twitched at the last thing he heard before hearing Jiro grunting in defeat. “I’ll let you in…” Jiro said as she opened the door to reveal her now wearing a beanie over her head, but somehow, the hat was twitching once or twice, yet her ear-jacks were hanging normally out of the beanie. “Close the door, I don’t want anyone seeing me like this,” she requested. Akio obliges and closes the door before locking it just for good measure. Jiro timidly removed the beanie, exposing something under it. He turned to see her but something was different about her: her hair was the same, but she had purple triangular ears with yellow canals on top of her head alongside her normal ears, her fangs appeared sharper than usual, and the flash of blue and yellow was a tail! Jiro suddenly became a neko!

“Kyoka, why do you have cat ears and a tail?” He questioned his girlfriend’s odd new appearance. “Okay, so I was walking back to the dorms from the record store, yes I asked permission,” she retorted. “But on the way, I accidentally bumped into someone on the sidewalk, and I dunno if this was his quirk or if he had some kind of quirk dispenser, but I just don’t like this,” she explained, her cat ears leaning towards the back of her head. She put the beanie back, but her feline ears made the hat look like an undone tent. “I just don’t like this ~nya~.” She grunted again after saying that last word. But she was even more shocked by Akio suddenly sweeping her off her feet, picking her up bridal style and laying her down on her bed, turning on the electronic piano, and calmed her with some of the softest and smoothest tunes that could soothe choppy waters.

After the music, Akio turned to Jiro who was now cuddled up into a loaf-ball. As he was about to fluff her tail, he heard something he’d never thought he’d hear: Jiro purring. His heart felt like exploding inside his chest as his eyes focused on this adorable sight that lay before him. But suddenly, he has a sudden curious glint in his eye, entranced by his girlfriend’s soft tail and fluffy ears. His fingers twitched as he had a sudden urge to touch the ears, which now were leaning towards the front of her head. But he quickly fell to the floor as she stirred up. “Don’t touch my ears, nya. Ugh,” she wanted this cat thing away, if her grunts of disapproval weren’t evidence enough. But Akio could notice a sudden shake in her voice, she was scared and sad about this effect from a strange quirk as tears slowly started dripping down her cheeks.

“Kyoka, don’t worry. I may not know how it feels, but I’ll be with you to help you get back to normal,” Akio said, as he cupped her cheek, and gave her a kiss and a hug to comfort her as he wiped away her tears. But that quiet moment was suddenly disturbed by a knock on the door. “Jiro? Are you alright?” a maternal voice called out from the other side. Akio opens the door to reveal both of their respective friends: Izuku Midoriya and Momo Yaoyorozu. Jiro quickly fumbled for her hat and quickly pulled it over her head, then wrapped a blanket around her waist to cover tail. “So, Midoriya, I think it’s best if the girls have some privacy, come on.” Akio then promptly escorts the green-haired freckle boy as the girl with a messy ponytail tries to talk to her closest friend. 

With Akio

“So, what happened?” Midoriya asked Akio with a puzzled look, squinting his freckles. “Well, long story short, she got hit by a quirk that made her into a neko.” Izuku was confused. “She has cat ears and a tail, and also developed a bit of a cat’s mindset. Mainly she purrs, and demands cuddles, more than usual I’d say,” Midoriya was surprised at not only the blunt description, but also the description that one of the toughest kids in class suddenly had the semi-appearance of a cat.

With Kyoka

“Kyoka, are you okay?” asked the wealthy girl, concerned for her best friend. “No, I’m not,” she said in honesty and defeat, as she took off the hat and blanket, revealing her new ears and tail. “I was heading back to the dorms from the record shop down the street, when I bumped into some guy, and he accidentally set off his quirk.” Her ears drooped towards the sides. It was evident that she didn’t want this to happen.

3rd Person POV

A few days later, the ‘villain’ was finally caught after giving a man the ears, tail and snout of a pitbull, they were arrested and sent to the Musutafu Police Station for questioning. Akio read this in the latest article, and sought this opportunity to somehow figure out how to find a possible solution, because Eri tried to do it, but it didn’t work.

It was just a few days left before October 31.

At the station, Akio and Kyoka were joined by their respective parent/s and Mr Aizawa. When they arrived at the prison the officer let only Kyoka and Akio into the room, but they were surprised at the appearance of this peculiar delinquent. The culprit was not a man, but in fact, a girl, around 20 years old with ochre colored hair with matching rabbit ears on top of her head instead of on the sides like Mirko, but she had the nose and heterochromic eyes (the left eye was a golden yellow, and the other was light blue) of the cat, the hairstyle similar to a horse’s mane, and the tail of a dog. 

“Okay, so, hello,” Akio tried to start as he opened a manila envelope with the girl’s information. “What is your name, and how does your quirk function?”

The girl, named Hayashi Ushijima, explained everything. “My quirk is called ‘Spiritual Animalia’ it analyzes one’s personality and instantaneously gives them partial features and fragments of their animal’s mindset,” the animalistic girl explained as she answered all

“Okay, so… Can you help my girlfriend?” Akio bluntly asked, hoping that he’ll at least know it’ll go away for his girlfriend’s sake. 

“...sorry, but I’m still trying to control doing felines, but her ears and tail will possibly disappear within next month,” Hayashi informed. A gloom cloud appeared over Kyoka’s head as she’s now gonna have to deal with the ears and tail until who knows how long, while Akio saw the animalistic girl told the truth and tried to reassure his girlfriend that even if they had to wait, it hopefully won’t have to be that long.

With all questions answered, they returned to the dorms. But they were suddenly greeted by Izuku, Mina, Denki, Ochaco, Shoto and Momo. “So, how’d it go? Is it gonna go away?” The brunnette asked the group. 

“Not good, but not too bad either,” Akio answered. “The fugitive said that it’s most likey that the ears and tail will be gone sooner than later, but there’s no answer as to how long this symptom’s gonna last.” But then Mina suddenly had an idea that the music couple could use to their advantage, but she was smart enough to hold her tongue at the moment before she could tell the purplette her idea. 

After about an hour of silence, Mina first checked Kyoka’s dorm if the latter was there, if not, then she’d be in her boyfriend’s room. And lo and behold, she was in her room.

“Hey, Jiro,” the alien girl said in a more caring tone than usual. But then again, “I might have an idea for your Halloween pairing…”

TIMESKIP

The day of the Halloween party was just tomorrow. The school yards were decorated with plastic tombstones, while the hallways were lined with orange, green and black streamers, with a fake jack-o-lantern in front of each door leading to either a classroom or faculty office.

Students were pouring left and right through corridors, either because of extra decorations, missing costume pieces, or because they were given errands by the teachers. However, six students felt like burning some of Endeavor’s cash, so it was off to the mall.

FLASHBACK

While Akio and Kyoka were at the station, Mina and Denki decided to play something on the latter’s switch. Ehile they were playing Animal Crossing, Mina suddenly had an epiphany: an idea that the music couple could use for the party. Denki was instantly onboard with it.

SNAP BACK TO REALITY 

“What are you guys up to this time” Kyoka questioned in her typical deadpan tone. Mina was in her usual bubbly attitude as she brought Kyoka to the women’s clothes section, as Momo helped look with her alien friend for something for her best friend. Meanwhile, Kaminari took Akio and Shoto to the men’s section do the same thing for his former rival.

“…That’s it?” Akio questioned Kaminari as all he got was a plain red shirt, black shorts and brown shoes. “Yep! Trust me bud, this’ll work,” the blonde assured the singer. As for the girls, the larger portion of the spending was to them as they bought a short white dress, black eyeliner, gold-colored sandals and a necklace adorned with glass sapphires, rubies and emeralds. 

After they returned to the dorms, Mina and Kaminari showed the music couple their idea. “I… I dunno,” Akio said, thinking this might not be a good idea, but Kyoka started thinking this could work, besides, she’s still gonna have to cope with this until who knows how long, might as well get used to it.

I SWEAR THIS IS THE LAST TIME I’LL DO IT…

It’s officially Halloween, the school is alive with fun, spooky excitement. Class 1B has made a short horror film, that was actually a failed attempt because of Honenuki’s lack of editing knowledge. As for Class 1A, they held their contest over who had the best costume pairing. 

Hagakure’s hands and face were wrapped in gauze wrap except for her eyes, which was covered by a pair of steampunk goggles, while Ojiro wore a black suit.

While Denki wore a slightly more stylized suit than Ojiro, Mina stole the spotlight, wearing a glittering sequined dress and a top hat that went with the dress.

Tsuyu was dressed in a blue and lilac patterned dress, with a head-ribbon in her hair, while Tokoyami was clothed in fancy robes of red, gold, white and black patterns similar to playing cards

Kirishima’s hair was noticeably darker than his standard red, as he was dressed in a male version of a female protagonist’s usual attire, even having a prop spellbook in hand with him. While Bakugo had fake extensions on his ears to make them appear more pointy, like Amajiki’s ears. His blonde hair was now tied in a mid-ponytail and he wore a male version of his character’s usual attire.

Todoroki and Momo were definitely one of the best dressed. While Momo wore an elegant white dress with a green and red corset with gold lacing, Shoto wore the most fancy tuxedo, complete with a fedora, and a ghost-white mask, now flipped to the left side of his face to cover his burn.

Izuku was dressed in a green tunic with dark green tights and matching cap, as Ochaco was wearing a cute satin-blue nightgown with a complimentary bow. But what made the pair the most peculiar is the both of them flying about. Finally…

Akio and Kyoka showed up. Akio’s look was rather basic; a red T-shirt with the number one in bright blue, with black shorts and brown shoes, Kyoka’s look stole the show. Her costume consisted of a white sleeveless dress with a broad-collar adorned with red, green and blue jewels, blue cuffs on her arms and ankles, a gold-and-blue cobra emblem in her hair to compliment her ears and tail and gold sandals. To say she was beautiful would be an understatement. She looked like Egyptian royalty.

In the end, nobody won the contest. Because it was just for fun. The classes then went trick-or-treating around the campus, and managed to collect enough sweets to last ‘em until New Years. 

At least the cat problem was all said and done in the morning.

For Christmas, I wrote a letter to Santa asking if he could send me back to Musutafu for the winter break

I got a chemistry kit instead

I shouldn't feel disappointed it was a good gift making sure to grin big I thanked mom and dad

I opened it in the morning they wanted us all to go to someone's party later promised all my school friends will be there

while alone in my room I drank one of the chemicals from the kit I was puking for the rest of the day

they went to the party without me leaving me alone to read the book that came with the kit it was disappointing I knew those stuff already

the night I used my phone to check some stuff who knew sugar was used in explosives

School continued like usual There were better and worse days but I learned to deal with it

I was a smart girl so like a smart girl I learned what their reactions are I learned when they'd get angered the most

or I tried people turn out to be more complex than id hoped I wish there were one set of behaviors I could just memorize and they'll stop

but I was dumb so they continued

first grade rolled over and so did the next few

On the nights of my birthdays, I would talk with AllMight, listening to the birthday wishes Izuku and Katsuki sent me they promised to come over ,but never did

My parents got me a small robot for the first one in this town I spent the day playing with him

When they went to bed I sneaked and stole the toolkit from the storage room

I spent the night taking it apart and after examining what did what I put him back together

The next years weren't much different

It all blended together honestly

Nothing memorable

except for that weird week in fifth grade

We were supposed to work in groups

and I was prying to every deity I knew of, that the teacher would put me with Kaze but when she gave me that cold sinister glare, I knew I was fucked "Hitoshine Kieru with Rikugo Wisteria"

Yeah definitely fucked

Turning in her direction I gave a wobbly smile to Rikugo getting a blood-freezing glare in return

Niou wasn't at school this week, which made Rikugo way angrier But for the most part, she didn't bother me that much

But that'll change now I'm sure

The teacher explained that well start the project now in class and finish it for the next week

mumbling a wish me luck to Niou I got up and awkwardly walked up to Rikugo

Ignoring the way she looked at me as if I was a cockroach in her bathroom sitting on the empty seat by her I opened my notebook I think at that moment we silently agreed to work separately and deal with combining everything later

The class went silently for the two of us while the rest discussed ideas I mainly concentrated on a small blueprint I was working on, in the back pages of my notebook

When the class ended most of the kids walked out with a laugh The teacher soon took her bag and left as well

I wanted to go too but if I didn't want any more problems I had to wait for Rikugo so we can finally talk Once the room was empty I guess her Majesty finally decided to speak

"We have a week for this and I don't plan on prolonging being around you for too long" she began as sweetly as always

"I'm obviously I'm not allowing you in my house and I'm definitely not stepping into yours"

"Oh, you thought I'd let you in my house ?" I questioned a slight smirk tugging on my lips at the look she gave me before straightening her back

"Great then be expecting me at four," she said getting up as my mouth hung open

"What??"

"Oh and make sure it's clean I don't want to catch your germs," she said before walking out leaving me to my questions

"How do you know where I live ??" was the only thing I could let out, not like anyone even heard me

Well I did work on the appearance of my house

I made sure as much of my trash was on the ground as possible and after wiping the sweat from my forehead

I heard the doorbell ring

Letting out a sigh realizing she did actually come I went and opened the door only to see Rikugo wearing glasses way too big for her head and a scarf covering most of her hair while she held a hand over her face as if to further hide it

Unable to stop it I let out a laugh at her attempt to hide her face

"Awh is it that scary for you to be seen around my cute little home ?"

Breathing out she shoved me further into the house quickly closing the door

Finally, she took off the ridiculous glasses looking angry at me

"Do you know what people would say if they saw me in here ?" she questioned as I leaned on my wall already bored

" That we have a project to do ?''

That only caused her to scoff at me as she simply put her shoes off and walked inside as if she owned the place handing me her jacket

"Put that somewhere where it won't wrinkle"

With a glare at her, I put it on the hanger showing it to her like hello it's in front of your face!

Without paying me any attention she continued exploring my house, keeping a mostly neutral face till she got to my room making another one of those hilarious expressions of disgust nose wrinkling as she tightened her hold on the doorknob

"You're really terrible at following orders" she commented stepping in carefully while looking around, shoulders tense

enjoying having the upper hand I walked after her fake pouting

"oh, you think you'll be able to work in such terrible conditions ?"

Turning to me with an annoyed look she replied "The biggest pain would be my partner, not the conditions"

With a smirk, I walked to my desk taking the books and putting them down" Oh so were partners now? Like equals?" I questioned sitting on the floor waiting for her to do the same

looking around she quickly took my hoodie and put it on the ground before sitting on it

"don't let it get to your head too much

I'm just doing what I'm told

one more thing I'm obviously better at than you"

Rolling my eyes I opened the textbook once again as we started discussing the project

it's painful to admit but we didn't work too bad together

soon enough we were done with our thesis and had started working on the banner we had to make

she even snorted when I commented how one of the guys we wrote about had a pedo mustache

Rikugo!

The girl I've only seen smile when I fall on the ground snorted at a joke I made!

It wasn't even that original of a joke!

Soon she had to go home and we said our goodbyes promising we'd finish the project by tomorrow so that we don't have to see each other afterward

The next day at school she acted like usual

for the most part

except

there were those little moments when I'd turn and she'd be looking at me

and it wasn't that usual cold glare I think

it was

softer?

friendlier?

nicer?

well it didn't feel like she was imagining my death

so that was definitely new

Once school was over I got back home and surprise surprise at the exact same time as yesterday Rikugo showed up on my doorstep

look I know we were supposed to study but I think we got kinda distracted

We started a small conversation about the teacher quickly I learned Rikugo wasn't a big fan of her either

turned out that woman was directly telling Rikugos parents about her behavior every Friday night, the only reason she was able to come was cause her dad was out of town for the week

that honestly sounded stressful as hell and I gotta admit I felt slightly bad for her

Our talk soon shifted to books and comics and I learned she wasn't allowed to have a phone

something about it having too many bad influences

so quickly I took mine and showed her some of my favorite online comics and cartoons

She seemed so excited over those

It was fun to see her react I gotta admit

Yellow eyes sparkled big and bright as she grabbed my phone and continued scrolling

The day went by mostly like that and we basically didn't finish anything but I'm not sure how disappointed I was knowing we'll have to hang out again the next day

School went by like always she acted like I didn't exist for the most part and once it was over the day repeated with me showing her more cartoons again we didn't do any work

This continued like that till it was the last day of the deadline and with annoyed sighs and a few shared giggles afterward, we forced ourselves to finish it

I almost thought we'll become friends after this

Maybe my school life was going to get better

I really should stop getting my hopes up

Once we were done and Niou got back she became worse

Simple teasing and tripping weren't enough anymore

Shed steal my backpack when i was out of the classroom and throw it in the trash

saying that's where I belonged as well

The time I told her I thought we could be friends something new showed in her eyes

something cold

that was hate greater than id ever seen in her and with a laugh shed taken me by the hair and shoved me into a toilet seat

Kieru : wait ima go puke *actually puts hand in mouth and tries to puke while Izuku is trying to stop her*
