I've been sitting in the infirmary for a while now. Pieck already healed but she was still unconscious. It's been around 3 hours and I recieved permission to stay here till she heals. Bakugo, on the other hand, was still healing. I may have kicked him too hard, as Nezu came to reprimand me for my actions, some nonsense about hurting other students. I didn't listen to him.
.
-Pieck PoV-
I woke up and saw a white ceiling. I faintly remember Bakugo attacking me and then a sudden pain hit me and then I blacked out and woke up here. It smelt like a sterilized room, 'The infirmary, huh.' I lifted myself up. I was kind of stiff from laying down so long. When I went to get up I saw Noire in the chair, head leaning backwards and passed out.
.
A smile fell across my face as I felt graced for how much he cares. We've known each other a week, but I do think I love him. No one has ever treated me so well or tried to help me like he did. I fell back onto the mattress and sighed, 'I'll ask him to train me, I never want him to have to worry about me again.' and speak of the devil, Noire had just woke up and saw me up.
.
"Hi." He looked at me stunned for a second and wrapped me in a hug, my face heated up as I wasn't prepared to recieve a hug from him, I just wasn't expecting it. It was welcome, of course, I returned it and didn't let go. When we split from the hug, I asked him, "Can I still take up your offer to train me?" He smiled a big smile, "Oh one-hundred percent! We can start in 3 days or whenever is good for you." I respond to his answer, "Well then we shall start in 3 days." I might regret this but I think it will be good in the long run, plus I'll get even closer to Noire.

-Noire PoV-
It's been about a week since Pieck starting training with me. We had gotten closer and closer every day. Her routine was obviously lighter than mine as I had months of practice time and she didn't. She was growing at an incredible pace, she was training at home too, I could tell. She was slowly developing abs and developed more, in every way. (Just as a reference she looks like Shexyos rendition of her)
.
We finished practice and before Pieck could leave to her house, I asked her the question of a lifetime, "Hey, Pieck." She looked at me and tilted her head with a smile, "Yeah? What's up?" I inhaled heavily, and let out a heavy breath, "Would you like to, you know, go on a date in a few days?" Her eyes widened and her smile grew bigger, "Yes! I'd love too." My face lit up, I was really hoping she would say yes. We talked for a while before I bid her a farewell and went inside. I took a shower and when I got out I went to my drawer.
.
I picked up a picture, it was of a beautiful lady holding a kid. Her long flaming red hair flowing freely. The kid in her arms was looking at the camera curiously, wondering what it was. I remember when this was taken, I was 1 year old, maybe younger.
.
We were in a local park, enjoying our time. I missed her. When I was just born, my dad got locked up for illegal possession of drugs. My mom was a waitress trying her hardest to feed me and my sister. My sister was 1 year younger and truly took after my mom in looks and personality, when she was 7, she was the kindest kid you've ever met. I was 8 and rebellious. I regret being a bad kid, my mom was constantly trying to get me out of trouble. I always did bad things which got me in trouble.
.
It was a late summer night, I had just gotten in trouble for fighting kids, I wasn't the strongest but they were weaker than me. My mom was so mad at me, when we got home I took a shower and went straight to my room. I slammed the door and my mom walked in before bed, "Goodnight, Noire. Have sweet dreams." I ignored her, now that I think back I can see the pain in her face, 8 year old me was ignorant of the evils of the world. At 1 A.M., I woke up to the sound of glass breaking. I instantly ran into my closet, hiding from whatever danger awaited.
.
I heard faint voices, "Check for the bastards wife and kids." my eyes opened wide, oh no, this was bad, what were they gonna do to me and my family? My mind was rushing, I was about to leave my closet when I heard my moms voice in my head, 'Please don't get caught, for me.' I gritted my teeth. I don't know what to do. I looked at my window, it went straight out to ground and I could run and get help. I open the closet door quietly and sneak to my window. I hear struggled cries of help from my sister and mom. My eyes watered but I steeled my resolve, I opened the window and crawled through it.
.
I shut my window quickly, not leaving any clues, I heard the door bust open, "WHERE ARE YOU LITTLE BRAT! GET OUT HERE!" I started to sprint to the nearest police station, we lived on a plot of land close to a police station but we got no signal out here. I ran, I kept running. Even when my legs started to burn, I kept going. It took 20 minutes, my legs were about to give out under my body due to my lack of stamina. I opened the door and squeezed out the words, "Help, villains at my house." I fell down and the person behind the desk rushed to me, "Kid, stay with me, I need your address to help." I gave it to him and he pulled out a weird little phone. He rung up a person and said all the details of the invasion, he carried me to a car and started speeding to my house, when we got there they already had cops all around and 2 heroes there. It was All Might and another hero. On the ground were 5 guys, all tied up.
.
I ran out of the car, mustering up energy I didn't know I had "Mister! Mister!" I yelled towards All Might, "Where is my mom and sister!" His eyes widened before his head tilted down, "I'm... I'm sorry kid, the robbers killed them when we arrived." I dropped down, my eyes losing any shimmer of hope. He dropped down and grabbed me in a hug. "I apologize, young man."
.
-Back to Present Day-
I felt tears rolling down my face, even till today I blame myself. That was the real reason I wanted to be a hero. I wanted to stop any other kid from experiencing what I went through. I plopped on my bed while holding the picture. I started talking to it, like I was conversing with my mom again. "I got a girlfriend now, her name is Pieck and she's really sweet. I really think she's the one." I kept talking to the picture, "- Well anyway, I'm gonna go to sleep for the night. This time, I just wanna tell you I love you." That was what killed me the most, the same night my mom died I didn't even say I loved her. It tore at my heart. After the incident I was taken in by another hero till he passed away when I was 13, I managed to bribe the landlord of my old place to let me stay there.
.
I turned my light off and closed my eyes, 'I miss you, mom.'
