"Hey Taro, why don't you make good on your promise from earlier"
Toru said as she quickly jumped on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. She was half joking, of course, but Taro took her words seriously
"Are you sure you want to waste it so quickly?"
"You never said there–"
"What are you guys talking about?"
Toru was cut off by Mina, who asked curiously. However, it was Momo who answered instead, her face showed a mischievous smile.
"She asked Taro if he could show her what it's like to fly, and he said yes"
There was a sudden silence as everyone stared at both Taro and Toru. Toru couldn't help but become transparent as she blushed and immediately removed herself from Taro.
"Goddam Taro, you work fast!"
Denki was the first to speak, Taro had only shown slight interest in Toru this morning and yet was already moving in.
"It's not date. She just asked, and I was in the mood"
He quickly corrected while doing his best to hide his embarrassment. Unfortunately, the misunderstanding had already taken root, and no one was going to let it go.
"You're right it's not a date. After all she is going to "Ride" you, that's way past just a date"
Mina stated and placed a lot of emphasis on the word "Ride" before she grinned and giggled, followed by a majority of the class doing the same.
Toru simply disappeared out of pure embarrassment, completely hiding herself, while Taro couldn't help but try to maintain a straight face, but it was obvious to everyone that he was embarrassed.
He needed to change the subject.
"Not even a wine and dine, straight to riding? that's bold and manly"
Eijiro made his contribution to the conversation and only made the young man shrink into himself.
"Are you sure it's wise to initiate such fraternisation so early?"
Tenya was the one who spoke, breaking the playful atmosphere of the conversation and causing everyone to look at him.
'Thank God for the killjoy'
Taro inwardly thought, delighted at Iida's skilful redirection of the conversation he felt the urge to give the young man a thumbs up of appreciation.
"What do you mean?"
Taro responded, making sure Iida's question didn't get ignored.
"I don't believe it would be wise to start a relationship this early. This is the best time to absorb knowledge and learn as much as we can about being a hero. Wouldn't such relationships get in the way of that?"
In his personal opinion, Iida believed that getting in a relationship this early would be detrimental in building a solid foundation in their hero education.
Hearing Iida's objection, Taro quickly tuned the conversation out and slowly retreated to the back of the group and let everyone else talk.
Due to the fact She had been invisible, Taro accidentally bumped into Toru.
"whop! sorry, They should put a bell on you"
He joked lightly and got an awkward smile from the girl who had now become visible again.
The air between them became a bit awkward as they walked, with Toru being unable to look him in the eyes.
"Still want the ride? even though it's a bit awkward now"
He asked as he glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. Her bashfulness made her a bit more adorable than before. Toru paused before nodding her head. She was prepared to hear the teasing tomorrow. She probably won't get a chance like this again, so it's best to use it.
"You know, since you're asking this of me, can I ask something in return?"
She raised a curious eyebrow at his question.
"...what is it?"
"I'd like to keep secret for the time being, at least until after you've had your fun"
"Now I'm just going to be curious about it"
She said, but he simply smiled.
"I guess it's another mystery you'll have to find out"
He ruffled her hand, and she pouted as she recalled that he was doing exactly what he did when they first met in class.
Unfortunately unbeknownst to either of them, a classmate was watching them, Bakugou, who had been silently walking behind, finally spoke.
"Hey Don't flirt in my face. Get a room!"
The young blonde shouted those words, alerting everyone, and quickly returned the topic of conversation to the two.
"Who's flirting?"
Mina turned with a mischievous grin, already planning to drag the teasing, Taro rolled his eyes and sighed.
'Bakugou is such a hater fr'
The young Viltrumite thought inwardly.
….
After about a couple of minutes of incessant teasing, jokes, and Toru disappearing in and out of existence, the group finally separated.
"Alright lovebirds see ya, and Toru, I wanna know everything tomorrow!"
Mina shouted from afar as she and Kirishima walked in the same direction.
"She's walking home with Kirishima, yet she was teasing us the whole time"
Taro commented light heartedly, his voice amused at how obvious Kirishima and Mina were.
"She said they were childhood friends"
"Sure but I know for a fact Kirishima either is already in or he's dying to do so"
He said, and Toru couldn't really deny or support what he was saying. To her, at least the two were like friends, at least from what she's seen.
"Anyway, how do you want to do this? piggy back, or should I lie on all fours like a horse, and have you ride me literally?"
He asked jokingly, and with an amused smile on his face, Toru sighed before responding.
"Don't start, I'll take piggy back. It will feel more natural"
"Alright hop on then"
Taro quickly obliged by showing his back to her, and Toru nervously heeded his command, climbed on his back, wrapped her hand around his neck, and Toru held her legs under his arms securing them in place.
It wasn't until after she was on his back that he noticed her breasts touching his back. Toru's grip was light and didn't suffocate or strangle him. She was more relaxed than he thought she would be.
"Alright, here we go!"
He exclaimed before slowly elevating off the ground and steadily flying up, Toru suddenly tightened her arms on his neck and crossed her legs together for maximum security.
She closed her eyes shut and braced herself. The excitement and nervousness made her stomach churned. She didn't know what to expect.
"Calm down, I won't drop you"
He advised and reassured her as he felt her plentiful breasts push against his back. He'd enjoy the feeling more, but he needed to be careful.
After about a minute of ascending to the sky, Toru began to feel the fresh wind brush against her face and air, forcing her to curiously open her eyes.
"Whoa!"
Her emerald coloured eyes sparkled in amazement as she saw the open and sprawling view of the city, the buildings looked like toy blocks laid out on a vast open field. She could see the moving cars. They were like small little bugs, and the people were like ants in an intricate ant colony that stretched far and wide.
There was a cacophony of distant noise that she could barely hear, cars honking, people shouting, it was distant and felt as if it was background noise of the entire city.
"This is incredible!! This is what birds probably see!"
She said excitedly. Her face was lit up and mouth wide in a big open smile, properly conveying the excitement and wonder she felt.
"It's different from simply looking at the window of a plane"
Taro stated, and she agreed immediately.
"Right?! it feels grander somehow"
She said, forgetting her earlier nervous nervousness and holding onto his shoulders, her head turning from left to right, taking in the sights of the city from above.
"Want to go higher?"
He asked, and she answered yes so fast, almost as if she was expecting the question. Taro obliged and raised the altitude, going beyond the clouds.
There wasn't much cloud cover, but there was still a quite significant amount of them.
Once the two were high above, the distant noise of the city faded, and was replaced by the sound of the gentle wind, the air brushing against her skin and hair felt like she was being caressed by an invisible being, a bit cold but gentle and soft.
Once again, her breath was taken as she exclaimed with more amazement in her tone. The clouds looked like fluffy stepping stones. The blue colour of the sky stretched far and wide and high in the distance she could spot faint glowing stars.
"This only makes me more jealous now, You get to see this amazing view anytime you want. If it was possible, I'd want to live high up here"
She expressed joyously as the excitement bubbled up from within her chest.
"It's alright"
