Immediately after class, Uraraka and Midoriya were greeted with a list each. These lists detailed the various aspects of the campus they would have to clean and maintain. These lists were no joke, mind you. It would take a normal person several days to complete each list. The young couple; however, only had until curfew to complete theirs.

"Following successful completion of the list, you will be met with a new list with different tasks tomorrow, and so on and so forth until your punishment has been served."

"What happens if we can't complete it before curfew?" Uraraka was asking from a place of pure innocence; the answer was a bitter pill for the two love birds to swallow.

"If you cannot complete all the tasks on time-" he grinned sinisterly, "you must add your remaining tasks onto the following day's list. Failure to complete all tasks before the end of the week results in your failure of this term."

FAILURE?! Midoriya couldn't help but feel a flash of apprehension. He tried internalizing this dreadful feeling but he was sure that his distress was leaking through his expression. Nonetheless, he tried to maintain an undaunted composure that would act as solace for Uraraka-San.

He noticed a while ago that she always looked to him during stressful times. Now that he understood her feelings, he knows that she looks to him for strength. He had to be her anchor. This realization added infinite duress to his swirling cesspool of emotion.

Midoriya slapped his cheeks causing them to turn a rosy red. This action prompted perplexed looks from both Uraraka-San and Aizawa-Sensei but that didn't matter.

"I will not fail this challenge. I will not fall, nor will I waver. Let the products of my hard labor prove themselves at the end of this week."

Aizawa was pleasantly astounded at his conviction. "Very well. Report back to me in a week."

"That was awesome Deku-Kun!" She couldn't help but feel admiration for him. This was the way he always was. During moments of strife, he was a shining ray of light that instilled resolve in all those around him. That was one of the qualities she fell in love with. She decided that she would not fail either.

Upon seeing Aizawa turn the corner, Midoriya's legs gave out from under him. They were wet noodles that he managed to uphold only by channeling images of his hero All Might in his mind.

"We're so screwed" he whimpered.

He felt a soft touch on his shoulder.

"Deku-Kun. We can do this, we must."

She felt like his hero after seeing the way he stared at her. She watched as his dreamy green eyes lit up at her encouragement. She could hardly contain the butterflies as their gazes met but she had no choice for the time being.

"Uraraka-San. We'll figure this out." He held her hands in his firmly, causing her to blush. "There isn't anything in this world that would keep me from you."

'Just another moment where Deku-Kun makes my world stand still'. She was used to it by now but she never stopped lavishing in the feeling; even now, as they were faced with an insurmountable challenge.

With words of assurance solidifying their resolve, they set out to complete the ridiculous punishment.

Midoriya's first task found him in the support workshop. As soon as he stepped foot inside, Hatsume Mei was all over him.

"Are you here to see my babies?! What do you need? Jetpack? Arm cannon? Grappling hook? Shoe phone?" She asked diligently throwing the items behind her head in sequence.

She looked up from her pile to find that Midoriya had only cracked a nervous smile.

"That last one was a joke you know? You could laugh!" She got up in his business as she always did.

If there was one thing about Hatsume that made Midoriya uncomfortable, it was the fact that she had a habit of pressing her body against his when she was excited about something. It obviously wasn't intimate but as a teenage boy, he couldn't help but feel discomfort when her chest pressed against him in a thin tank-top. He learned immediately that she doesn't like wearing bras either as there was no stability in her breasts whenever she leaned on him.

Thinking back, he could distinctly remember Uraraka shooting very condescending looks at the pink-haired girl. He was only now realizing that they were probably looks of envy, which he found adorable. He had to tease her about that when he saw her later.

Power Loader, Pro Hero and teacher at UA, interrupted Hatsume's unsightly behavior to explain Midoriya's presence.

"Midoriya-Kun, I am glad that you are here. You read the list so you know what's in store for you, correct?"

"Yeah, I have to organize and store Hatsume's pile, right?" He cringed as he gawked at the ever-growing mountain of trinkets and gadgets. He swears it was three times larger than the last time he saw it.

"Thank goodness for that. Her pile is beginning to encroach on necessary areas of the workshop. Of course, Hatsume was far too affectionate regarding her inventions so she refused to slim down her inventory."

She furrowed her brow "why would I allow anybody to throw my babies away?"

Power Loader sighed. "I suggest you get a move on if you don't want to fall behind in your duties Midoriya-Kun."

Midoriya looked at the time. "5:45 PM?! Already?!"

He had a hunch he'd be missing his meals today but that's the price he had to pay. Rather than waste any more time he activated full cowl and got to work. This punishment was an excellent way for him to test his stamina limits when using full cowl. With that, a silver lining to all this madness was revealed.

Uraraka was first tasked with the collection and storage of the physical education class' gear. Blood King [Homeroom teacher 1-B] was tasked with her supervision. He was appalled by her happy go lucky method that involved her zero-gravity quirk. Uraraka spent more time doing intense exercises (as punishment) than actually performing the task. Things weren't looking great on her end. She was falling behind and she was hungry too.

"I wonder how Deku-Kun is making out." She paused for a moment. "Making out…Deku-Kun?" Her face twisted in perversion.

She had to forcefully snap herself out of her sensual daydream with a quick slap to her own face.

"Gotta stay focused!" She said as she ran off to complete her next task.

9:45 PM – 15 minutes before curfew

Midoriya and Uraraka showed up in the common area: their clothes were covered with dirt and grime, their skin glistened with sweat, and they both exasperatedly gasped for air while their class watched.

"Uraraka-San how did you do?" Midoriya asked between breaths.

"I have one thing left on today's list. You?" She panted for air.

"I just finished the last thing. What do you have left?" His breathing was starting to regulate.

"Um, something about finding Midnight-Sensei's cat". Her fitness levels were well behind her sculpted boyfriend so she was still trying to catch her breath.

"Find her cat?! How is that up keeping the damn campus?!"

"You know what? I really don't know."

Their classmates were stunned at the fact that neither of them had acknowledged any of their presence. They were so caught up in their debacle that they had forgotten their classmates existed.

After listening to their goofy conversation for a while the class began to laugh one after another. It drew the couple's attention.

"God, you guys are something else!" Kaminari wrapped his arms around the two only to be discouraged by their dirty clothing. This prompted laughter from the girls in the class, especially Kyouka.

"So, I heard you went to the workshop Midoriya-San? Did you see Hatsume?" Mineta asked with drool slowing falling out of his mouth.

The air surrounding Uraraka burned with an intense jealousy. "Yes, Deku-Kun, did you see Hatsume?"

He scrambled to try and get his words together. "N-no I didn't, I mean I did, b-but I ignored her when she was-"

"When she was what?!"

He was in deep shit and he knew it.

"Please help me". He turned to his classmates pleadingly. He muttered an "I hate you" towards Mineta who only grinned goofily in response.

"Ura-San you know he wouldn't do something like that to you!" Mina tried to lighten the tension.

"Yeah, I guess you're right Mina-San."

Midoriya got on his knees at Mina's feet. "Thank you so much!"

Uraraka couldn't help but roll her eyes and smile at him. He was just too damn cute for his own good.

"I recommend you both shower and head straight to bed. It's time for curfew everyone!" Iida exclaimed, trying to get the ball rolling on lights out.

Everyone groaned at his disposition but that wasn't about to budge him.

After everybody began returning to their rooms for the night, Midoriya and Uraraka went to their respective showers.

The students were pretty disappointed that they didn't have their own showers in their rooms. They found it strange that showers were in the common area; of course, the men and women had different showers but it was still shared with their peers. This layout meant less privacy and for some, that was a bad thing.

Uraraka turned on the hot water and let it trickle down her soft, pale skin. It was almost as if she was allowing the water to rinse way the desperation and anxiety she had felt throughout the day.

Uraraka had thought common showers were a bad thing but her opinion quickly changed when she felt a familiar hand on her back.
