It was a bit ironic for Kogami to be in such a place, he had no real reason to travel out to the gardens of U.A. However, there was someone that he tended to see over there every now and again that went to his class. It was one of his classmates by the name of Miku, and he wasn't too sure if it had anything to do with her quirk or anything. The reason why Kogami found himself there was because of her, he hasn't really been able to actually bond or hold a separate conversation with any of his classmates before, so he wanted to change that by actually being able to talk to one of them and see how it all pans out.
"I wonder if she would even be here today?"
Kogami would mumble to himself as he looked around the area, tall enough to be able to see her.

Right on cue, Miku arrived. She was noticeably more relaxed. These last few days were hectic, and even when she talked to her teacher Arata, it took a while for her to actually calm down and relax. But now, it seemed like her teachers words got through to her. She felt like a small weight was lifted off her shoulders. While she hasnt fully recovered a 100%, she did feel better then before.
In the garden, Miku looked at her plants and thougta about using her Quirk, but then she noticed Kogami. Well....she recognized him as her classmate, but she didnt really interact with him or properly learned his name
"Umm....should I approach him?" she thought
She also pondered why he was here. But then she decided, she needed to change. Miku took a deep breath and walked up to him. She was confident and she was polite and she walked over to him with confidence...
THAT IS in theory. The expectation was that she walked over to him with confidence. The reality was that while she was walking she was much more insecure and shy with every step towards him. And by the time she stopped infront of him. She was her own usual shy mess.
"Ummm h-he-h-hel-hello. It-It's ice.I-I mean n-nice to m-meet yo-you" she stuttered out as she extended her hand to shake.
That was so NOT what she wanted to say

Much to his surprise, the girl managed to single out Kogami and even bothered to walk over to him for the sake of talking to him. To be fair, Kogami thought that he intimidated her or something, which is why she didn't want to speak to him. It came off a bit when she stuttered when she stood in front of Kogami and started to stutter a little bit. However, she was trying her hardest to be nice and Kogami didn't want to betray that.
"You come off like an introvert sometimes, I didn't know how to approach you. "
His hands were almost twice the size of her hands as he shook them. However, Kogami was gentle with her. Taking out a small candy bar as he started to unravel it, Kogami would start to look around the area.
"Miku, I'm Kogami. We are in the same class together. I see you walk in here often, so I walked in here too. You like plants a lot? Why?"

Yea, Miku didnt quite expect him to be THAT tall. But he seemed nice, although when they shook hands,she felt like she was talking to an adult rather then a classmate.
"Nice to meet you,Kogami. I-Im sorry I d-didnt know your n-name,sooner" she apologized, but then he asked her why she kept coming here. So she elaborated
"Oh...well...this place is where I train, I mostly do it when Im alone. Usually people train at the Training Facilities, which is completely reasonable. But Im a Plantmancer, uh...I mean..my Quirk allows me to manipulate plants. This is the best place for me to train. I-Im not really fit for physical training or physical encounters. I-I figured if I master my Quirk I could assist people with longer distance? Im more of a supportive role. Although,I hope to be a Rescue Hero. I prefer saving people from natural disasters than from Villains. I-I figured there are tons of people who can do that"
She shyly explained why she was here, what her Quirk was and what her goal was. But no she asked him the same
"So...um..what brings you here at the garden"
Ok,she partially asked him. She wanted to know his Quirk too

Kogami was the type of person that would let an individual speak for the most part unless he absolutely had to interject. He ate his candy bar in silence as he listened to her, a munching sound came about maybe twice during the exchange as Kogami licked the chocolate from the side of his lips and put the trash in his pocket.
" I see, so being in your element more or less. This place can be able to allow you to exercise your quirk and get a good hold of things. At the very least, at least you could say that you knew who you were or what kind of person you are trying to be in the sense of wisely coming here to train. You're a lot smarter than you let on, do you give yourself that credit?"
It was more or less an open-ended question, but Miku didn't have to answer that.
"I don't necessarily believe anything you said, you can be a top hero with this quirk. You don't have to opt for a supporting role because of how complex your quirk is, hero weekly always showcases the current rankings and the starred heroes or even sometimes vigilantes that make it there and stay still enough for an interview. The hero botany can turn parts of her body parts into great plant-related themes, but she said she grew up to be a little shy and humble about what she can do. I think you two are the same, so I don't want to see you limit yourself. You hardly know me, but that's just what I believe. "
Reaching into his bag of goodies, Kogami pulled out an issue of hero weekly this week and showed Miku the interview. In the meantime, Koga had to answer for himself.
"I came here for you, this is actually our first conversation and I thought it was interesting that you came here. "

She listened to Kohami talk, and after he finished with his open ended question, Miku shrugged. She just didnt know if she had to answer that or was it a hypothethical question. But her shrug was enough of an answer
Next thing was Kogami being very surprisingly nice. Telling Miku not to limit herself and that she can be a good Hero. He then reached into his bag and showed a magazine that shows an interview of a Hero with a similar quirk. And then the last thing he said truly shocked her. He came here for her???
Hearing that Miku tried her damn best not to blush
"Oh...wow...Im a bit taken back. You're super nice...I I dont know what to say"
Her mind was scrambled, after having a one on one encounter with Nobunaga or Nick, she didnt know what to expect. Someone,a boy to be exact, being nice to her was weird and new. But she liked it. Although due to her lacking some social skills, she didnt know what to properly say or do, so she just said "thank you?"
It was either a thank you or a hug
But,what do they do now? Miku clearly had no clue and waited to see if Kogami said anything

"Well, since I'm here. Might as well help you with your quirk right? Even though this is a public area for students, I know you must be thinking of ways to get stronger and whatnot. If you have someone else to bounce ideas off of or even talk you through things, maybe you'll come up with something new or useful? I mean, it's something for me to think about as well, being useful. "
For starters, Kogami needed to know how the quirk worked before he could pitch any sort of ideas.
"So tell me Miku, how exactly does the quirk work. You manipulate plants, right? Do they already have to be around? Can you grow them or anything of the sort?"

He was so much kind. Helping Miku how to master her Quirk. But now he asked her how her Quirk worked. She was a bit hesistant, but took a deep breath and risked it
"I can grow and manipulate plants. I can manipulate already existing plants that are here like grass, vines, branches and flowers. I can manipulate their growth and structure. That means ..umm..how to describe it good...Well, take a flower that hasnt bloomed. I can make it bloom. But, in case of.... no plants around. I can grow my own. Like, I can either bury seeds in soil or I can just throw it on the surface of the soil, and I can use my Quirk to make them grow and use them...And lets see, what else.....um..yea.....my papa,who's a Vigilante tells me that my range is 3 meter radius." She explained what she can do
Then she moved on what she cant do
"I cant manipulate big plants yet, like trees. I can just partially control trees....aka tree branches. Im useless where there are no plants or where I cant grow plants. Like indoors, the town with tons of streets,cars and concrete. Infertile or barren soil. And I think thats it. Otherwise I just gotta discover and learn" Miku said
But speaking of Quirks
"May I ask you your Quirk. I am curious"

"Ok, have you ever tested to see if you can make things grow without soil? It's not always going to be in a situation where you would be near an area of grass or anything of the sort, so I would think that you would need to carry the soil with the seeds. Maybe that's too much of a hassle though......" Kogami would hum again as he reached into his bag and pulled out a bag of ships.
"If you was to bother with the emergency soil just in case, might as well choose your plants wisely depending on the situation. For example..." Kogami took out the phone they received from class as he typed a few things before showing Miku. "Rockrose is fire resistant, you might need seeds like that in case of an emergency involving fire, or a quirk based off fire you have to deal with. Or a giant fly trap plant that you can manipulate at will, that sounds useful. " Putting the phone away, Kogami would open the bag of chips. "Anyway, we would have to research the different kinds of seeds that might be useful to you. Then there is the people that may attack you head on, I was thinking of....maybe.... a whip of thorns you can create with a vine?"
Kogami was going to say more, but then he realized that she did ask him what he could do.
"Nothing too interesting, I can touch things. I don't know if it's telepathy or anything.... it just works...."Kogami would then reach out to a nearby shovel and "picked it up", waving it back and forth as his hand mimicked the movement that the shovel was doing. "See?"

Miku listened to Kogami's advice and took mental notes. She would write this on her phone, bzt much like how she slowly types in chat. She slowly types in her phone. So she made sure to memorize everything. But then he spoke about his Quirk
"Hm?" she looked up and saw his example
And as soon as he said it was nothing special, she said "Thats a cool Quirk"
She put the emphasis on cool.
But going back to her own Quirk. She always thought about having all kinds of plants. But she never considered some specific plants for specific situation. The "problem" with that was that she needed to find specific seeds. Miku hoped the stores had such seeds. And when it came to soil. Thats something she also didnt consider much. She did consider carrying a plant pot around her at all times. But soil? Where would she put that?
Another thing that came in mind was 'have you ever tested to see if you can make things grow without soil?'
Well, she tried it once and it didnt work. Didnt all plants need soil? Can she actually make plants grow without soil? She isnt magical, as much as she wanted it. It seemed impossible

"Cool? Well, once I'm able to understand it better, I might as well use it to climb the charts when I'm older. " Putting the shovel down, Kogami would look to Miku again and fold his arms a bit. "Plants can grow without spoil, it's called hydroponics, you use a water solution with minerals. As long as it matches those requirements, soil doesn't need to be added to the equation. Maybe just using water can shorten your troubles?"
Looking through his phone again, Kogami would google a few things before pointing his phone at her pocket. " These phones the teacher gave us has sms messaging, I sent you a few links on some sites that send plants over and whatnot. But what I would suggest is for you to start the gardening club here in U.A. By doing so, not only would you be able to tend to the plants, but you could apply to the student council to have plants sent to U.A as apart of club activities so you won't have to pay for anything. This involves taking advantage of the system, but you like doing this, so maybe its less advantage and more....tying things into what you love to do the most. "
Finishing up his chip bag while allowing Miku to think, Kogami would look down on her one more. "Did any of this help?"

She listened to Kogami talk how plants could grow without soil. And she was speechless as how he was so smart. Miku didnt know if she should be amazed by his knowledge or ashamed of her own lack of knowledge.
She watched as Kogami looked up some stuff on his phone. And she quietly listened to him what he had to say and how he explained how he sent her a few links about some plant information on her phone. And then she took into consideration his advice about starting a gardening club. Once again, Miku didnt know if she should be amazed or ashamed. It seemed like he was more fit to have her Quirk, it seemed like he knew how to use it better then her.
After he was done he asked if anything helped her
"Yes yes. I-It helped." she was a bit overwhelmed, but still managed to thank him "Thank you"
But now, she didnt know what to do. Should we work on that right away? Miku never did something like start a club, she had no knowledge nor skill how to do it, she could ask her teacher for more advice. Or should she stay and get to know Kogami more? Once again she decided to see what would he do

"Ok. well.... hm..... now what?" Kogami felt a little bit stuck at the moment, but he still found something else he could say to her. "Well, that's good because I'm out of ideas for the moment, and i wouldn't want to bother you while you are training. I just realized how counterproductive I must have made everything seem. or made everything possibly seem. We can still talk, but if i'm getting in your way, i don't mind leaving. "
Kogami didn't want to be a bother and hold the girl up. He wanted to help her, not hinder her. At the very least, he would have left the magazine for her to read over the interview again.

"What? No! You're not being counterproductive! You were most helpful!" Miku reassured him, and then she continued "I mean if you want, w-we could still talk and get to know eachother"
Kogami was in no way a bother to Miku. Miku was infact touched by everything he did today, he was nice and helpful. Not to mention he was kind and supportive. But poor Miku didnt know how to feel abut this. Due to never really having friends before, she had trouble recognizing and differetiating friendship, affection and love. She had no idea what Kogami's actions meant due to this lack of social experience. She tried to keep everything platonic, in case this was just friendship based

"Oh, alright... only if you want to."
If that was what she wanted, Kogami had no real problems with it as well. They could talk for a little while longer this time around, mainly about Miku and her life.
"You said your parent was a vigilante, much like how our homeroom teacher used to be before he became an official hero. I think when people risk their lives to do things for the sake of saving others, because it's not within the contents of the law, they get charged the same like the criminals to and may even have to do time if they don't get a plea bargain. Don't you get scared for your parent when you think of that sometimes? Do you think it's fair?"
Finishing his chip bag, Kogami noticed that he had one piece of candy left.
"I think the upbringing is the same as growing up under a hero, you may have something not a lot of us students do. "
