[So. Here's that green-haired, freckled teen that his loud bff was going on about. Izuku sits cross-legged on the bed in his bedroom of his newly provided apartment that he has yet to decorate or anything to personalize the space. He looks a little sheepish as he checks if it seems to be working. He's used to something similar, having this sort of technology back home, at least.]

Um. Hi? I'm Midoriya. That is, uh, Midoriya Izuku. I guess a lot of you already kind of know of me from Kacchan earlier...

[He's sorry. Really. It isn't like he asked Bakugo to go off like that.]

I was just trying to get my bearings, I guess. I heard there's school, or at least classes, here. To learn about our new abilities? I think I'd like that. I want to learn to use mine. To at least learn how to control it. If not to help out with it, and my Quirk. Plus, I want to look into prosthetics to help Kacchan. Maybe learn more about music....? I'm sure there's probably a library or something I can check! And I want to be useful and help out, maybe figure out a part-time job?

[......Yeah. That talk that he had with Bakugo about not overdoing it. Izuku might already be wanting to do more than he might realistically be able to manage. Because he's a Nerd and actually wants to Learn about this place and the abilities, and wants to help out as much as he can. This kid is just not used to the idea of not keeping busy, not being useful. Still in that habit of feeling like he has to prove himself.]

You're going to burn out in a few weeks. I'm calling it now.

[Katsuki's completely unsurprised to see Izuku asking about so many different things on the network and he's sure Izuku can hear the unamused tone through the text. He's definitely going to overdo it, isn't he....]

[procedere]

it's not that much? i don't think?

[But then. Izuku was always overdoing it back home. So this is hardly anything new. He just wants to help. To support Bakugo especially.]

[boombam]

You want to go to school, help with my prosthetics, learn about music and get a job.

On paper it doesn't seem like that much. But there's also Quests and the fact that you can't live in that apartment forever. You'll have to save up money so you can rent a nice place and make sure you have enough money to feed yourself, too. And of course you're going to be sparring with me at least once a week.

It's a lot for one guy to juggle at once. Why do you want to learn more about music, anyway? Because I asked you to watch us practice?

[procedere]

i know i will have to figure a place proper eventually, that's why i figured if i find something, even just part time that i can do maybe in the afternoons after class.

i guess you might be right, though. you did tell me not to overdo it. i just figured it might be a good idea to learn more about music to help give you feedback?

[boombam]

The job isn't a bad idea. It's normal for teens to have a job after class. But I'm worried you won't have any time for yourself after all the stuff you want to learn.

I mean. I know studying is fun for a nerd like you but still. Leave some time to relax.

And I don't think you need to know jack shit to tell me if something doesn't sound right or if you hate my lyrics. But if you don't feel confident enough to criticize music then I guess I won't stop you from learning more about it.

[procedere]

time for myself? oh. right. i just figured if i know more about music, i might be able to give better feedback to help you guys.

[Time to himself. What a concept. Does not really compute.....]

[boombam]

Deku. Please promise me you'll save at least an hour a day to yourself?

[Don't make Katsuki force you to relax???]

[procedere]

you don't count sitting and studying as an hour to myself, do you? or training?

[He's so used to pushing himself, feeling that need to prove himself. Always going over his schoolwork, his notes, and if he isn't training to master his Quirk. It's a hard habit to break. To tell himself it was okay to relax. Especially when Bakugo was in such shape, and he wants to help.]

[boombam]

No.

Watch a movie or something.

[If Izuku wasn't so Izuku about everything, Katsuki wouldn't be so hard on his ass about overdoing it. But the boy just.. he's always been one to forget to take care of himself. To forget to breathe. Katsuki has a bad habit of that, himself, but even so he feels like he needs to make sure Izuku was at least relaxing a little bit...]

[procedere]

fine. show me some movies here, then.

[It's doubtful any other teenager would be arguing about this. But, well. It's them. Izuku's other idea of reading may or may not count if he's looking into stuff about prosthetics, for example, he's sure that Bakugo would count that as some sort of work or study.]

[boombam]

Fine.

What genre? Action?

[Katsuki would allow reading but only if it was non-fiction or a manga! He'll stick with the movie, though. And he might even watch with him! If he's watching it with Izuku he can make sure he's actually spending those couple of hours resting--]

[procedere]

sure. or a comedy?

[Izuku figures his researching would not count. Or reading for homework for whatever classes he might take. Still, at least they could support and remind each other to take breaks. Look after each other.]

[boombam]

Comedy? You actually like that stuff?

[That's not Katsuki's first choice but... he'll watch whatever Izuku wants to, if it'll get the guy to sit down for more than ten minutes.

Though, he's taking this as a chance to bully Izuku because of course he is.]

Get better taste in movies, Deku.

[procedere]

sometimes? depends on the movie.

[It isn't always just superhero stuff he reads or watches. But it can depend on the comedy. Some might land better than others, and it depends on what mood he might be in. But it can help sometimes, especially when he keeps overthinking, to just laugh.

He just pokes his tongue out at his phone when the other tells him to get better taste.]
