Shenanigans In 1-B: Episode 40: Playing For Keeps

Now on Wattpad. Literally the whole story so far is up there, I just got out of habit of ing here.

TW: Mild bad language and maybe upsetting tones

Word Count: 4905 (excluding Author’ Note ect.)

Time taken: 7 days (over this and the previous one.)

Summary: The last two fights of the t Training Arc and afterwards.

Author’s Note:

Before things start... I am an omnipotent body that can change the flow of the story if you so much as Go-Gos in my direction, so keep that to yourself. The original characters and base story beats were made by Horikoshi, I’m just relaying things in 1-B and making some changes to spruce things up.

Any correlation between the OCs and something else is a coincidence.

Hopefully you understand this before I piss you off in any way. Let me repeat that. This is my story; I am bored so I wanted to make something for fun, so fuck off if you get annoyed at me because I miss-measured the size of All For One’s mega arm.

And before I forget, I’m writing this for my friends first so expect a few inside jokes that you won’t get.

So without further ado... I present the fortieth episode of Shenanigans In 1-B! WOO!

"Alright, crew. Got a plan." Setsuna stretched. The three boys looked to her. "If we look at their team, it's balanced very well. Two s, Sero-kun and Jiro-chan, then their two fighters, Bakugo-kun and Sato-kun."

"It's very balanced." Bondo stated.

"One wrong move and we'll be toast." Awase nodded.

"Let's carve them up." Kamakiri snarled.

"Okay, plan time." She clapped her hands. "We can assume that Bakugo-kun will likely not cooperate with his team, making their balanced team unbalanced. I'll initially deal with Jiro-chan by splitting up and essentially deafen her, Sero-kun will likely use his tape to cover themselves. Bondo-kun, that's where you come in and glue all of it. Kamakiri-kun, drop pipes on them and Awase-kun, weld anyone to anything immovable." The boys nodded.

"This shouldn't take too long then." Awase stated.

"Speed beats strength every time." Kamakiri smirked.

"But what about speed and strength?" Bondo looked to Setsuna.

"Well, we don't stand a chance going straight in. If we fail to capture them, then just retreat. Then we keep ambushing them to slowly build an advantage. Since Bakugo-kun's who he is, we'll be taking on a one-man team as he comes face first and bark orders to his team. Focus him down and he'll stumble, when that happens, that glass house will shatter. Once we retreat, Awase-kun will back up our big-bones Bondo-kun."

"H-hey...!" He protested.

"Are the fourth teams ready?" Midnight's voice came over the speakers. "Start!" Immediately the four of them made an advance. Setsuna split herself into all fifty of her pieces and was making all sorts of noise to throw off Jiro. They found them hunkered down, watching her move.

"She got us!" Jiro exclaimed.

"Yes, it's all over now." Setsuna stared dirtily beside Bakugo. He swiped out and her mouth swerved away. She controlled herself to attack him from all angles and get him away.

"In here, Bakugo-kun!" Sero yelled, forming a web of tape.

"Like I said, it's all over now." She repeated herself to them as Bondo crested a pipe.

"Glue Squall...!" He yelled, spewing as much glue as he could onto the tape and piping, trapping them in their fortress.

"We're trapped!" One of them stated loudly.

"Woo! I did it! Just like Setsuna planned!" Bondo stated happily.

"This way!" Sero instructed them as they began to run. Kamakiri leapt onto the scene and grew blades from his body, spinning; slashing many pipes down at them. He laughed as they were slow to react.

"Too slow! Too slow!" He jabbed.

"At least you two can get away!" Sato put his hands up to catch the debris. Bakugo blew it away as he ed, Setsuna was still assaulting him with some pieces. Kamakiri saw the opening and vaulted off the pipe he was stabbed into with his blades.

"Let's start with the biggest nuisance, Jiro-chan." She told him as he fell, blades were poised to strike the girl. Shocking her, Bakugo kicked Jiro aside and blasted Kamakiri point blank. Thankfully, he had managed to block it with two blades. ^He protected his team?!^

"YOU SLEEPING ON THE JOB TOKAGE-CHAN?!" He yelled up at her. ^My blades will hold.^

"For real?!" Setsuna returned still surprised.

"YOU BLOCKED MY BLAST, HUH?! GUESS BUGS DO HAVE QUICK REFLEXES!" Bakugo jibbed. "TRY THIS!" He upped the output of another explosion and sent him flying back. Kamakiri formed a blade on his back and used it to slow himself, spinning down a pipe and retreated.

^It's not smart to take Bakugo directly. I should retreat, right?^ He and Setsuna made eye , she nodded, understanding what he was asking. Setsuna herself began to retreat, keeping some parts clanging to distract them. Bondo was running across a platform and he was spied by Bakugo, who came shooting towards him. Awase, concealed by the shadows, made his debut and threw out a bunch of his items.

"Construction-Done-Kwik: Weldcraft!" He said, welding the items to Bakugo and the pipes, making his quick retreat as Sero shot some tape. Sato came in clutch and barraged the welded objects with punches, freeing Bakugo.

"NOBODY WELDS ME AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!" He bellowed, coming in hot pursuit.

^Oh, he's mad now.^ Awase thought sourly. ^This calls for some face-armour fusion!^ He attached shields all over his body in an instant.

"He's all yours!" Bakugo instructed someone concealed by his explosions as he flew past. Jiro was stood with an Ultimate Move ready to go.

"Heartbeat Surround!" She stated confidently, a blast of sound-waves forced him back and his armour was stripped from him. As Awase was stunned, Sero wrapped him in tape.

"Bondo-kun!" Setsuna called to him as she shot pieces off to get Bakugo.

"I ain't in top form during the winter, but I'm starting to heat up!" He said loudly, bombarding Bondo, Sato caught ahold of her classmate in a grapple and restrained him.

^Why... Why! Why is this team flawless!?^ Setsuna began to panic. Her and Kamakiri had to work together. That was before she watched Kamakiri get spun and blasted into a wall by Bakugo. Sero tied him up instantly. She wasn't paying attention to her pieces and saw that one had a grenade taped to it. Widening her eyes, she floated out of the way. "Close one!" Explosions behind her told her that Bakugo had arrived, she turned and looked into a bright light. ^You've changed too much!^ Setsuna thought as it got brighter. ^What can I do?! In situations like this... you have to adapt!^ She realised something and blew herself apart as the light flashed.

"Damn. She dodged." Bakugo growled, taking a hit in the back. He looked to a swirling mass, Setsuna had recalled all of her pieces and they shot at Bakugo.

"Setsuna Swarm!" She yelled, barraging him from all angles as some ed him. "Quantity over quality this time!" Being hit by numerous pieces was seeming to slow him down as he took damage. ^I can thank Kai for splitting at the last moment.^ Setsuna grabbed ahold of him and went to slam his head into the tower they were fighting at. He was strong to resist and began spinning forwards, explosions coated him in a wheel.

"Step off." He growled darkly. "Vertical Howitzer Impact!" The sweat and smoke all detonated at once in a giant wheel of power. Setsuna moved her core out of the way just in time, her core being her mouth and nose.

"Shit." She hissed to herself. Something wrapped around her core and pulled her in. Sero had tape around her. "No!" Bakugo turned in the air and his hand glowed.

"AP BURST!" He yelled. A wide volley of blasts wiped out most of her pieces and she was wrapped up in a cocoon by Sero.

/-/

"And in just under five minutes, Class A takes their first victory!" Midnight exclaimed. Monoma looked pretty ticked off at seeing Bakugo use the power of teamwork.

"I see that rage filled, living embodiment of a short fuse was most impressive." He commended somehow. Setsuna was completely in the dumps as she walked over.

"I got completely outplayed." She sulked, walking straight into Kaikiban and smooshed herself into him.

"All part of battle." Was the response. "You took my advice to heart."

"Monoma-kun, I'm sorry. You've got a lot more riding on you now." She took her face away from his chest and looked to the blonde. He gave a flamboyant swish of the cloak.

"There's no need to fear, Tokage-chan!" He returned easily, being somewhat over Bakugo's surprise tactics. "I'm sure we can pull through, especially with Shinso-kun on our side." He looked to the extra.

"You think too much of me."

"Nonsense. It's clear you do have potential, we just need to bring it out." He responded.

"Besides, even if we lose here, we don't lose overall." Yanagi stated, before they got into strategising.

"Final match is up next. I wonder how they'll perform." Kaikiban looked to Setsuna, who was still disappointed.

"Mm." She answered curtly.

"You want Mei out here?" He asked, his 'sister' gave better emotional comfort.

"Don't worry about it. It's nothing."

"We'll talk later." Kaikiban didn't know much about relationships, but 'nothing' always meant there's something wrong. Setsuna looked to him with something indescribable in her eyes. She looked completely torn up inside. Something vibrated in his stomach.

"Umm... Genyu-san, your stomach is..." Iida gave him a hand.

"Yeah. Got a call." His costume, skin and flesh parted and a bone compartment in his body was revealed. His phone rested in a wooly ball inside.

"Okay, that's just gross. Come on dude." Kinzoku paled.

"I don't have pockets." He looked to Vlad who gave him the go ahead. Nodding, he formed wings and took off away from them. "Moroshi, this isn't a good time."

"Isn't it?" Came the response from his brother.

"No! I'm in class!"

"You still picked up."

"If it's not important, I'm hanging up."

"Mom and Dad've been found guilty of attempted murder and conspiracy against Japan." Moroshi said gravely. "Along with a few Quirk Law Violations." Kaikiban almost forgot to flap his wings at hearing that.

"It took long enough." He responded seriously.

"They're our parents!" Came a quick reply. "We weren't even there for the trial!"

"I didn't even know there was one! Did Dimitri tell you that?"

"Yeah. Just got the call. They're probably going to be locked up inside some Quirk Prison."

"It would be for the best."

"You're acting this way because our parents hid a lot of stuff from you." Moroshi told him, instantly picking up on his attitude.

"What gave it away?" Kaikiban stated blandly.

"The past few months? Kai, just... don't start hating them. Despite what they've done, they're still our parents and as far as me and my Quirk are aware, they love us. Think on that, alright?"

"I know and I will. That all?"

"Pretty much. Have fun in class! Ooo! Before I forget, Jess has told me that old

Michael Kouhei's been taking care of the dog."

"Cool. See you on Sunday if you're still wanting to come to Musutafu?"

"You bet." They hung up. Kai flew back to the classes.

"Moroshi?" Atsuki rose an eyebrow.

"Ye." He watched as Kishou went to Setsuna timidly, she was talking with Itsuka and Shiozaki.

"Excuse me, Toesaregay-chan? You seem upset. Do you want a cat to cuddle?" He started to form energy in his hands.

"That wouldn't be bad." She nodded, a cat was formed and he gave it to her.

"That's nice." Seiotsu stated, Fukidashi nodded.

"Teams Five are about to leave, need to say good luck!" He hurried over. "Hey! Kodai-chan! Good luck! Make sure we win!" He said with hope, she gave him a glimpse of a smile and nodded, bumping the fist he gave her.

"Did she braid a bit of her hair?" Seiotsu commented, noticing the twisted together hairs on the right side of her face.

"I'll bet she looks even cuter, huh, Kinzoku-kun?" Atsuki nudged him in the side, he went pink.

"Looks like it." Fukidashi came back to them. Seiotsu stretched down to pat him on the shoulder *yes, there is that much of a difference in height. Seiotsu's seven-seven and Fukidashi's four-seven.*

"Stunning lad knows what he's talking about. Sort your mind first." He pointed at Kinzoku.

"Why are you so hellbent on insulting me?" He asked with a sigh.

"I'm not. I'm giving advice. You're not that bad, good enough to talk to at least!" He laughed loudly, teams five left, Fukidashi waved over to Kodai, getting a small one back. Kinzoku took notice of this.

"I didn't know you were on that good of with Yui. I haven't gotten a wave yet." He stated sourly, clearly slightly jealous. Fukidashi cocked his speech bubble head.

"She's my friend. Maybe pay attention to her a bit more? She's definitely worth the time speaking with her." He returned.

"What are you on about? I do."

"Get to know her then. Like know know her."

"Well what do you think of Yui then?" Kinzoku asked with a scowl, Kaikiban widened his eyes and stepped in before Fukidashi began ranting. A mouth formed on his hand.

"Let's calm down and settle on Yui-hun being a beautiful kudere that is better than both of you." Kakumeiso's voice came from the hand.

"Then I'll become worthy of her!" The short guy stated confidently. Kinzoku was taken aback by his tone.

"Then so will I!" He ed in.

"Manga, my brother. Back in Junior High, you advised me against asking out Kaikiban. I will advice you now to not commit to such a rivalry." Seitosu stepped in also, Atsuki was watching with a smug look on his face, he was laying on his front on a cloud.

"Fukidashi-kun didn't go to our Junior High." He stated contently.

"I thought he went to mine!" The bubble guy responded. "He was there when that guy explained that he liked hot sauce on everything! Wait... you what?!" He exclaimed at Seiotsu.

"Were you not listening when Ashido-chan and Hagakure-chan came over?" Kai asked.

"No, I was think on something else." Was the response, Atsuki laughed.

"Teams Five's match... Start!" Midnight announced.

"Here's hoping Monoma-kun can win this." Komori stated to Shihai nearby.

"Y-yeah. Hopefully." He nodded bashfully.

"Is your tummy okay?" She asked nicely. "You literally took a bullet for me."

"I'm fine, it just winded me is all."

"That's good. I really like you, Kuroiro-kun, I don't know what I'd do if you died in training." Komori had parted her hair slightly and was looked at him, Shihai went his dark red. "You had me worried!"

^What kind of like?!?!!?^ He thought quickly. "Sorry, I moved before I thought it through."

"What kind of strategy do you think they'll employ?" Hiryu came to the rescue before the other guy could get anything else out.

"The teams reflect what we just saw. However, Midoriya-kun's team lack the sensory type that Bakugo-kun had." Kaibara chimed in. "If I had wager a guess, they'll employ a strategy to take advantage of that." A commotion happened on the screens. A green and black looking substance was spewing out of Midoriya uncontrollably. It was attacking everything indiscriminately.

"Aizawa-san, Vlad-san, you need to stop him! Something's wrong!" All Might said to the two Homeroom teachers worriedly.

"Hey! My Quirk's great in metal places! Let me help!" Kinzoku piped up, immediately getting shut down.

"No. It seems too dangerous." Kan warned him. "Let the adults take care of this." With that the three of them headed on in.

"Will they be alright?" Yaoyorozu asked Snipe and Midnight.

"I'm not sure. It seems like things are getting interesting though." Snipe pulled out a gun. "If anything really bad happens, I'll step in. They're within my range."

"I guess it is the role of the teachers to make sure everything's fine." Jiro spoke up, getting nods.

"Well, whatever the case, they seem to be trying to sort it out." Shishida noted, pushing up his goggles.

"Things are looking pretty interesting." Kirishima stated to Kaminari.

"Whey..." *An hour still hadn't ed since the first match.*

"Nerd better have this in the bag." Bakugo growled.

"Are you being ive?" Ember cocked her head.

"Quiet, Elsa!" He snapped.

"That's cold." She smirked, grating him with the raspy pun. Bakugo looked like he was about to go off on her. "Save your breath, I don't have the lungs to keep up at the moment."

"Whey!" Kaminari butted in with his stupid look.

"This is going nowhere fast." Kaibara stated, Roux nodded.

"Timeskip?" She asked.

"Timeskip."

/-/

*Yeah fuck you.*

Class A had pulled a victory out Of Midoryia slamming Shinso into the floor and Uraraka hard carrying the rest. Ashido did uppercut Shoda though, you go girl.

With two wins on either side and a draw, it left the grand result in a draw itself, much to some dismay. After his performance, it  had been decided that Shinso would be ing in the Hero Course. That evening, 1-B decided to up with 1-A to hang out.

"What! No fair!" Kakumeiso cried out, she'd lost to Kaminari in cards. "I'd drawn some of the best cards in the deck!"

"This is poker, and you got a King High." He responded.

"Stupid game." She grumbled, putting her chin on the table. Kaikiban was sat next to her and laid his hand.

"Full House." He said emotionlessly.

"Kai! Come on! Seriously!? You couldn't let such a sleeping dog lie?!" She shook him before huffing.

"I don't promote self harm." Shishida stated.

"If I can ask, how're you both here?" Ember asked curiously.

"Oh, it's rather simple." Mei began, "after having memorised the necessary components of a human body, I've been looking to create a puppet of sorts."

"Oh! It's more of your puppet wizardry! I haven't seen much of that since Camp!" Kaminari exclaimed. "Especially with that big scare." She nodded.

"Though, I'm the puppet at the moment, and I'm a lot more than a hollow shell. But I still need to be connected to Kai to exist." She gestured to a thin string of web between them.

"That's cool." Kirishima stated, picking the cards up again and shuffled them. "Dealing for eleven?" He looked between the people that had taken part in their battle.

"Ten. I want some sleep." Kakumeiso stretched before turning to steam and evaporating away.

"Nine." Kaikiban stood up. "I have something I need to do." He ed the second teams reading manga, and Fukidashi was correcting Yaoyorozu on Goku's hair. Setsuna was chatting with some of the girls. "Hey, can we talk for a moment?" He asked after poking her shoulder, something shifted in her eyes as she nodded. Ashido was giving them a smirk. Kaikiban led them back to their own dormitory and pulled her into her room.

"Very forward of you~" She grinned. He knew she was putting up a front.

"I said we were going to have a talk earlier," he sat on her bed and patted beside him, she sat down. "Are you okay?" Setsuna's shoulders slumped a bit.

"It's nothing you should worry about." She told him. "I'm fine."

"Well, you saying it's nothing to worry about worries me. Think you can let me in a bit?"

"I'm fine, really; I'm just being silly."

"Setsuna. I want to help and as Tetsutetsu once said to me; 'Kai, you're not giving me the teenage girl treatment'. It might be sexist, but it applies here too. You can trust me." Kai tried to look into her eyes, but she looked away.

"I got shut down... again."

"Again?"

"Lately... I've been doubting myself and my abilities. Bakugo-kun just made it clearer to me." She began. "I got in on recommendation but I'm weak. I can't do anything to a stronger opponent."

"Is this to do with the stuff at Camp too?"

"Yeah." She sniffled, her cheeks were going rosy. "I just feel worthless at the moment."

"Because you couldn't predict that Bakugo-kun could work with people?" He rose an eyebrow, hoping his voice conveyed the care he felt.

"Because whenever I'm in a serious situation, I always fumble and fuck up!" Setsuna said loudly, Kaikiban was surprised at the tone. She looked to his with teary, glaring eyes. "Tell me I'm wrong."

"Which serious situations?" He responded slowly.

"The End of Term Exam, I became a liability to Rin-kun. The Camp Attack, my plan was worthless and I let you get hurt. The Provisional Exam, I got my personality reversed and felt like I do now, I didn't get through the first round on my own merit. And today, where I completely fumbled getting us a third point and winning." Her voice had become shaky and slightly hysterical. "If I'm like that now, who's to say I won't be like that when more lives are at stake?" Kai couldn't respond, he didn't know how to. Surface level reassurance would be condescending.

"Four situations that stand out because of the contexts?" He began, choosing each word slowly.

"Four situations where my decisions mattered, and they were all wrong."

"I... I don't have a response to that." Setuna looked him in the eyes, he felt ashamed that he couldn't comfort her. "I don't understand what you're going through, I don't have the experiences to know."

"I know, that's why I didn't want to tell you. Because you don't understand the feeling of loses like that." She wiped her eyes, going to leave. "I don't want some whimsical bullshit, Kai. I'm useless when things matter. I can't carry my weight and drag people down with me. If I'm honest, being with you..." tears began to go down her cheeks and she drew a shaky breath. "Being with you... only brings you down with me. I hold you back and you have to constantly worry about me. I don't want that. So... I-I think I want to cut things between us-" Kaikiban had her in his arms before she could continue.

"Do you really mean that?" He asked closing his eyes as he drew her shaking form onto himself and embraced her. "Do you really want to stop things between us?"

"I... I don't know... I just know that you're better off without me." Her actions deceived her words as she clung to him.

"And I just know, that in my lack of experience with romance, that worrying about your partner is natural, I think. Of course I worry about you and I hope it's the same for you. I'm not going to give you whimsical advice, I'll say cold facts. I love you, Setsuna. This relationship between us has made me constantly happy. You're not dead weight, you're only looking at your negatives."

"But they're louder than anything good I've done." She muttered tiredly into his top.

"How's this for loud? I stayed at U.A. primarily because of you." She quickly looked into his eyes.

"What?"

"I never wanted to be a Hero. But the longer I spent here, the more I liked it. How helping people makes me happy; how the people I've met here've changed me. Our class, Setsuna, they made me want to stay. I wanted to stay because all of you made it so good to be here. And you've been such a good person to me, since the beginning... it's no wonder I fell for you and that strengthened my wish to stay. If you want to break up, I won't stop you, just, don't spring it on me like that." Kaikiban explained, moving his fingers through her hair and she seemed to calm down. "I can't do anything to stop your thoughts. But I will be beside you to help you cope, just ask, okay?"

"Okay." She nudged her head on his shoulder, before leaning up and kissing him. "I want to stay with you." She murmured between the . They toppled over as they went on. "It was nice to hear your full confession."

"I didn't realise I'd done it." He laughed, feeling her mouth smile as she returned the action. Pulling away, he moved his mouth to her ear. "Just this once, how far are we going tonight?"

"As far as we want."

"So... Final boss in Dragon Odyssey?" He pulled back.

"Obviously!" Setsuna smiled as she got off him and proceeded to set up the game.

"Just , you can tell me anything. And I'll do the same." Kaikiban reassured her.

"Yeah, so, what was the call about in training?" She was kneeling on her bed and leaned onto her hands as he took up the controller.

"Moroshi called about my parents' trial. They were found guilty of numerous things." Kai clicked start unfazed by what he was saying.

"Are you holding up good then?" Setsuna looked worried, her cheeks had calmed down.

"To be honest, I saw it coming. It's not something I'm thinking about, if they hid Mei from me, there was obviously going to be more they were hiding. But I am completely fine, I assure you, Lizzy." They kissed again.

"I love that nickname~" She giggled. "I need one for you now... how about Protey?"

"Absolutely not. Kai and Mei is just fine." He laughed, setting off the beat the game that night.

/-/

"Hmm... this kinda looks like how Genyu-kun fights with a sword." Fukidashi stated as he read a manga. It was about 'Slaying Demons'.

"Seconded." Kendo nodded.

"It's a bit too flashy." Burusu told them. "Does he need the purple fire?"

"It works though." Yaoyorozu pointed out.

"I get that it works, but seriously? He just stacks power onto power."

"Like how you stack layers of metal onto fat people?" Touten put the manga he was reading down.

"That's different."

"How so?"

"It's just one thing, not the combination of multiple."

"It was pretty cool seeing all of that infrastructure just go 'whoosh' and leave a crater in the battlefield!" Fukidashi stated again. "And you got Seiotsu."

"Momentarily." He pointed out with a smirk. His piercing red, walrus eyes looked down to him. His tusks looked well kept.

"Well, we all drew in the end." Kendo stretched. "And no-one was seriously hurt."

"Tell that to Todoroki-kun, Genyu-kun and Yaoyorzu-chan. One had his move reflected point blank, another was basically poisoned and frostbitten and the last was pummelled." Komori stated happily.

"No hard feelings?" Kendo asked nicely.

"Yes, no hard feelings." Yaoyorozu nodded. There was a commotion over by their television and a few of the boys were fiddling with a device.

"Oh yes! It's Kouhei-kun's karaoke machine!" Komori hurried on over.

"You gonna sing?" Kuroiro looked to Burusu, getting a head shake.

"Kinda got something I need to do." He got up.

"Hopefully its sorting out his taste in girls." Seiotsu said, immediately getting struck by Kendo. "Ow what the fuck?"

"Don't be a womaniser."

"I'm not!" Burusu turned away before rolling his eyes. People were making their way over to the group at the television and he managed to catch Yui going over.

"I didn't think you were all that into this sort of thing." He said approaching her.

"It's fun to watch." She stated curtly.

"Too bad about Midoriya-kun making a mess of your plans like that. You coulda won."

"Mm." She looked as neutral as ever, the braided hair still remained.

"I see you've braided your hair." He pointed to it slightly, Yui immediately moved a hand to it.

"I like it."

"So do I." Burusu laughed slightly. "I might braid my own.

"Really?"

"No." She made a huff through her nose, he hoped it was a laugh. "Anyway, did you enjoy my match? Was I amazing or what?" He changed the subject quickly.

"You essentially lost against Touten-kun. He pinned you and Fukidashi-kun." Yui commented. "It looked embarrassing." He went slightly red.

"Ouch. But what about me and Yaoyorzu-chan? I essentially beat her."

"It felt like you were showing off."

"Maybe I was, or maybe I wasn't. They were tougher than I gave them credit for." Burusu rubbed his facial scar, his eye cover had been removed earlier that month. "This stuff aside, is your hand doing well?" She rose it, the circular scar around her wrist was still highly visible, it was parted in a place and the internal work was slightly visible.

"It works, it itches sometimes, but it works." Was the response. "How about yours?"

"I barely notice it. Though, my vision is slightly better in it. I think I should get glasses." She made another 'laugh' and gave a tiny smile. "You know, I was scared for your safety when Midoriya-kun went out of control." Yui cocked her head.

"He wasn't near me."

"But still, something like that had me worried. I was about to the teachers and help out." He checked out her wrist again, turning it to see the internal stuff.

"Shame we drew." She widened her eyes as Burusu drew a breath and kissed her wrist.

"Just making sure things are working as intended." He chuckled nervously. ^Why did I do that out of nowhere???^

^He kissed me?! Why?! Why does he feel this way about me?!^ Yui's mind was racing as she went red. "Someone, help!" She squeaked in a blushing panic, not knowing what to do next. He wasn't much better, coiling in on himself in horror that he maybe had sexually harassed her.

^No time like the present...^ Burusu thought quickly. "If I can follow that up... want to go out for tea sometime soon?" Yui shuffled a bit.

^I need to think!^ She realised. ^Too fast for me!^ To her gratitude, Fukidashi butted in at that moment.

"We're playing Just Dance now. Want to be my partner, Kodai-chan?" He clearly hadn't read the mood between them.

"Yes!" She managed, still quite off guard.

^Seriously? Awful timing, my guy.^ Burusu thought as they ed the others in fun; leaving the topic for another time.
