Author's Note: Don't worry, I'll try not to make an Author's Note in every chapter. Just wanted to thank you guys for clicking on my very first fanfiction! If you think there's something wrong with my writing, like a continuity error or a simple spelling mistake, or if you think it's bad, be sure to comment or leave a review, criticism is always a plus for a developing writer! I also decided to rate it M, just because of some sexual references, but wont go past allusions to it or implied content. Oh, and don't expect me to mention any of the villains or any non school related major events that happen in the future, this is solely character building within the dorms, will mention class and licenses here and there.
Chapter 1: Setting Up the Operation
The new life in the dormitory was a little hard to get used for Class 1A, especially for Momo, with her room cramped to the brim with furniture. Despite this, for most, it was a huge plus, since they could hang out with each other without having to go far, and they could easily study for future tests and exams, like the Provisional Hero License Exam. The girls could come together deep into the night to gossip, while a group of the guys could come into the common room and goof around, although both of these things were heavily discouraged by the class rep Tenya Iida, who would occasionally find the common room messed up when waking up, knowing that the guys were staying up past the curfew that he made for "maximum efficiency". Izuku Midoriya was pumped to have his friends live closer to him, as Tenya could help with any difficulties with studies, and Ochaco….. well this fact made his mind race! I mean, she was living so close to him, only 2 floors away now. The fact that 6 girls were living in the same building made him doubly flustered. Luckily, they were on the floors above him, but the fact that he knew they are so close made his mind frenzy, despite him having lived in an apartment building.
About 1 week in this new lifestyle, he was pretty accustomed to it, and started hanging out with some of the other guys, including Denki Kaminari and Eijiro Kirishima, who would often be found conversing to each other in Kirishima's room. He also got to befriend Koji Kouda and Rikido Sato, since they often only got to occasionally talk before the dorm situation, while hanging out with the others through study groups or the occasional party game. Izuku was pretty happy to see all of these developments, but one night in particular, changed not only his relationships, but some of the others as well.
Thanks to a nightmare of All Might dying to All for One instead of winning, Izuku woke up at around 1am, and after some time laying in his bed, he thought it would be best to hydrate himself so he could sleep faster. After slowly tip toeing through the hall way to the elevator, he managed to get to the 1st floor. He walked into the kitchen, only to find 4 figures sitting on the ground, surrounding a lit lantern.
"Hey Deku!" one of the figures said in a whispered yell, upon closer glance, it was Mina Ashido. "What are you doing up this late?"
"I could ask you the same question, Pinky." Izuku remarked. He looked around to try to see who else was there, and saw Denki, Eijiro, and Koji sitting, waving at him.
"Oh, we're just talking about a top secret miss… OW!" Mina was slightly jabbed in the arm by Eijiro.
"Key words Mina, TOP SECRET!" the now slightly angered Eijiro whispered.
"Secret Mission? What are you guys, 6?" Izuku said with a quick laugh.
"Says the guy with All Might solely decorating your room." Koji surprisingly remarked.
"True, true, anyway, what's it about?" Izuku was now legitimately curious.
"What makes you think we'll tell you," Denki replied, "you did just make fun of it a second ago."
"Hmm… I'll tell Tenya about how you're the one always causing the black outs with your Quirk"
"You're bluffing!" Denki said with a small bit of concern in his tone.
"Yep!" Izuku joyfully said, causing the others to smile.
"I guess I can trust you, take a seat between Eijiro and Mina." He pointed towards the barren space between the two.
"So, what are you guys scheming?" Izuku said with a lot of curiosity and slight excitement in his voice.
"Okay, don't laugh when I say it okay?" Denki stared at Izuku waiting for the approval, to which Izuku nodded. "Now that's settled, I'll tell you. Us four great heroes noticed how everyone was starting to get used to this new dorm life, and we noticed a severe lack of something, something that is VITAL for high school. That is why we created this operation, Operation….Dormitory Romance! We're going to pair up some classmates for some classic high school romance!"
All Izuku could do was just stare at the lantern, stare in pure shock and hilarity of the idea and how serious everyone around him were about it. He almost burst out laughing, and soon laid out on the floor, trying to hold it in.
"Really? I don't think it's THAT funny," Eijiro responded.
"Yes it is!" Izuku almost breaking his whisper, "This is high schoolers scheming about romance on the floor with a lantern!"
"I guess it is kind of funny," Denki smiled "I'm guessing you want out?"
"No, despite it's idea, I do want to see what you guys thought of for this "operation"." Izuku said, his internal laughing had ceased.
"Okay, so, there's 6 girls in our class, so we're deciding the best candidates for each one of them," Mina started, "So, just before you got here, we made a list of guys we KNOW won't be a candidate for any of them."
"So, who did you guys pick?"
"We started with Mineta, since he's WAY too pervy to get any of these girls." Denki explained
"Says you, don't you help him with his schemes?" Izuku replied.
"Yeah, with things that wouldn't get me tossed into jail, unlike most of the things he does." Denki said, that remark reminding him of an incident that happened 2 days ago, when Mineta tried sneaking in on a girl while she was bathing, only to realize it was Toru Hagakure…..the invisible girl. One screech and 100 punches later, Mineta was given one final warning not to disturb the girls.
"So, who else did you remove?" Izuku quickly asked, trying to get off that topic.
"Katsuki, since I'm pretty sure he's more into himself than any chick." Mina chuckled out.
"I know Rikido, and even though he is into girls, I'm pretty sure he's going to want to focus more on his studies and training," Koji added, "besides, nothing gets in between him and his "sugar"."
Everyone laughed at that comment, while Izuku looked at Koji, who originally was the class mute, but now, he's a straight up comedian.
"Anyone else?" Izuku asked after chuckling.
"Aoyama" the 4 "agents of love" said at seemingly the exact same time.
"Oh, and Eijiro also wants out." Denki quickly commented.
"Really? Didn't you help come up with this?" Izuku asserted.
"Yeah, but I'm focused on my training, maybe later, but for now, it's Red Riot Time!" Kirishima then put his fist into the air in excitement.
"So now that we have the exclusions listed, now we can go to the juicy bits, the setup!" Mina cheerfully exclaimed.
"Yep, and I think we should go the women list alphabetically by last name… so first is… you Mina Ashido!" Denki loudly whispered in a dramatic tone.
"Ooh!" She was both excited and blushing.
"Sooooo, who are you into?" Izuku now being invested.
"I don't know if I should tell…..." Mina hesitated.
"Oh come on, you helped come up with the idea, just tell us who you like!" Denki joyfully uttered.
"Well….. we don't talk much….. but… Mezo Shoji!" She was now fully blushing, her once pink face now a crimson red.
Everyone's eyes went completely white, filled with immense shock and confusion.
"Yeah, we haven't really had a one on one convo yet, but from what I see, he's SO supportive of others, and did you see his room!"
"What room, it was the walls, a table, and a mattress." Koji cracked.
"Exactly! How cool is that?" Mina was almost standing in excitement, "he's so selfless and humble!"
"Hadn't had a single clue of you having a crush, but I'm rooting for you!" Izuku said with a smile.
"Thanks!" Mina proceeded to hug Izuku, making him blush, one of many times tonight.
"That's 1 pairing established, moving on to….." Denki was interrupted.
"What are we going to do about the first pairing though?" Izuku had interjected.
"Don't worry, we'll cover that afterwards. As I was saying…. the next girl would be…..Tsuyu Asui!"
"Hmm….. what would be a good fit for her?" Koji thought aloud. "Well, what guys is she close with?"
"Maybe Deku can hit her up!" Mina said in an obviously joking tone, but this still made Izuku blush immensely, making the others laugh.
"Ooh! Maybe we can get Fumikage! They seem always be partners, and they work well with each other, and from what I hear, Tsuyu gives him emotional support." Denki said with a flirtatious inflection.
"The Frog Princess and her valiant Crow Knight!" Mina said in an also flirtatious tone.
"I always thought he looked more like a raven." Koji pondered.
"Whatever the case may be, I think we're on to something. Who's next Denki?" Eijiro asked.
"That would be Toru Hagakure, and I'm pretty sure who she's going to be with."
"Mashirao Ojiro." said everyone plainly and straightfaced.
"Yep, so on to the next girl….. Kyoka Jiro!" Denki said cheerfully.
"I'm guessing that you want to hit on her, you two always seem to be close." Izuku commented.
"You really think I want to try to hit on her?! Pfft, we may be friends, but it ain't going past that. Besides, I have my sights on a Class 1B girl!" Denki said confidently.
"Is it the girl that kicked your ass at the Sports Festival?" Kirishima snickered.
"Hey!…. And yeah." Denki said in an embarrassed tone.
"There's nothing wrong with wanting a girl that's stronger than you." Mina commented.
"Only one time! Besides that, I think I know a good fit for Kyoka." Denki smiled, and proceeded to stare at Koji, who looked around to see the others staring at him, causing him to blush.
"Wh..Why do yo..you think I sh...should b..b..be with her?" Koji barely stuttered out, his face now facing the floor, now all red. He also tapped his index fingers together repeatedly out of embarrassment.
"I saw the way you two were talking to each other during the Practical Final Exam, she was giving you words of encouragement, you saw her bloody ears, then you became brave and helped her pass the exam!" Eijiro inserted.
"And the way you carried her through the gate was so romantic!" Mina playfully jabbed Koji.
"Yeah….she did help me a lot that day," Koji looked up with a smile, "but I don't think I have a..."
"Koji, you don't know if you won't strive for it," Denki inserted, "I know her, and I think you have a shot at it, you know the motto, PLUS ULTRA!"
"Yeah….YEAH!" Koji almost yelling, having to be calmed down so he won't wake up anyone. "Sorry, forgot about the dorm rooms above us. I'll try my best to win Kyoka's heart!" Koji now whispering again, the 4 others cheering him on.
"Ok, on to…..." Denki stopped and put on a grin that almost reached the full length of his cheeks, "Ochaco URARAKA!" he loudly whispered, staring straight into Izuku's eyes, the name making him wide eyed and blushed.
"Deku! This is your chance! We believe in you!" Mina shaking Izuku. "and don't deny it, we see the way both of you look at each other, it's undeniable."
"Deku, just do it normally and everything should be fine," Eijiro calmly commented "just play it coooool."
"Yeah, if I'm doing it, you're doing it too!" Koji added with enthusiasm.
"Same here!" Mina lastly inserted.
"*sigh* I guess I'll try… won't hurt to I guess." Izuku said, with blush still on his face.
"That's the spirit!" Denki said with glee. "Lastly, we have Momo Yaoyoruzo."
"What about Tenya? Both are academically inclined, and can advise groups well." Izuku knew Tenya well, and thought Momo would be a good fit for him.
"I always thought her and Shoto made a good pair," Koji soon inserted "they just see to have that chemistry between them, especially since the Final Exam."
"Yeah, she made be a hard one, I think we should just save that for the party." Denki replied.
"Party? What party?" Izuku asked.
"Oh! That Step 1 after the Set Up, we're doing a get together tomorrow, or as Denki over hypes it as, "party", to set our pieces in motion." Eijiro explained. "We're having it at around 6:30pm, enough time for everyone to finish homework if we do the usual study group method." He proceeded to look at the kitchen clock, "Crap, we should be going to bed! OK, tomorrow, Operation Dormitory Romance is ago!" He extinguished the lantern, stood up, and put his right hand in the middle, signaling a group cheer. Everyone stood up and did the same.
"OK, in 3…..2…
"PLUS ULTRA!" Everyone said, although not quiet enough to be a whisper, they hesitated and ran up to their rooms, excited for what may happen tomorrow.
