With their newly formed group, the students of Yuuei quickly fell into their sub groups. Iida, Todoroki and Midoriya chatted off to the side as the girls rounded the boutique. As for the girls the three seemed a bit mismatched in comparison.

"So… do you come here often?" Ochako broke the ice.

"No, in fact I just so happened to find this place today." Momo replied clearly and concisely.

"Oh? What about you Mei?"

"No, this is my first time. I don't buy clothes all that often."

"Why not?"

"Well, I'm almost always in my coveralls, really all I need to buy are tank tops and I'm good."

"Oh really?" Momo turned, engaging in the conversation.

"Yes, it's quite practical! The few clothes I do have are things I got back in middle school."

"Mei in Middle School… You must have been quite the studious student."

"Yeah, yeah! I can totally see her running all over the place gadgets and gizmos flying off the walls." Ochako giggled.

"Speaking of which… How goes your developments Miss Hatsume?"

"Nothing much to say. My babies are always the best! Ask anyone else in your class and I'm sure they'll agree. If you need new gear and want it done the right way, there's no better choice than to go with Hatsume Mei." She confidently announced, as if selling herself as a brand.

Momo and Mei continued to chat as Ochako sifted through the clothing.

'Nope, nope, nope. There's nothing good here. Come on, there's gotta be something?'

She swept through the racks quickly mulling over the options. The feel of various fabrics burning themselves into her finger tips. She took her eyes off the racks to look at her companions, they were deep in some kind of technical conversation. Nothing she could understand, wrenches and what not, but it was nice to see them enjoying themselves.

'Accessories? Hmm… Necklaces?'

Having rounded the shop, Ochako had few options left. Most of the clothes seemed either to mundane for Mina's tastes, or not anything Jirou would wear out. Not to mention Momo seemed to have picked out the only Graphic shirt of a band. Moving over to the jewelry rack, Ochako surveyed the pegs for potential gifts. The three boys had just so happened to settle nearby carrying on about some interesting memory or some dumb joke told during lunch.

"Hey you two, what do you think Mina and Jirou would like here?" she interrupted the two.

"O-oh! sorry Ochako, what were we talking about?" Mei turned in haste.

"Jewelry? I suppose that could work..." Momo caught on quickly.

"But what do they even like?"

"You're asking the wrong girl Ochako…" the mechanic sighed a far off look in her eyes.

"That is quite the conundrum."

"Something pink?" Mei chimed in

"I think that would be too simple."

"I'm guessing earrings are out for Jirou right?"

"As humorous as it would be, I don't believe that would be appropriate."

"No kidding, Momo…"

"How about a themed gift, something that speaks to their personalities? What do you call that again?"

"A motif?"

"Oh! If were talking motifs, I've got this!"

The other girls stared at the inventor quizzically. Sure, she had an eye for details, it was her literal quirk to see details. But what exactly would she bring to the table here?

"Really?" Ochako was the first to question.

"I have to agree, would there be information you have that we're not privy to?"

Mei huffed proudly, her eyes gleamed with a sort of confidence that she'd be able to contribute to this particular situation.

"Oh, you wouldn't believe the kind of info we at the support department get on you hero types."

She grinned knowing the ball was in her court, so to say.

"Concept designs, drafts, measurements. Girls, don't underestimate just how much we've got and just how much we support students understand the hero course's students."

The two were interested as their pink headed friend continued on, nodding just ever so slightly. They weren't the only ones however. Iida had hushed up to listen to the girl's rant.

"Like you Uravity, who wanted an astronaut motif, along with a more baggy suit because you were worried about 'feminine growth' being inhibited by a skin tight outfit."

Ochako flared up remembering her initial note from back in middle school. She wasn't the only one as Tenya's eyes seemed to widen as his face went red in embarrassment, such a conversation shouldn't be discussed in public. At least that's how Iida viewed the matter.

"Though it's not like you weren't wrong to worry, considering you latest physical. You lucky girl…" she teased stealing glances off into space.

"And you Creatie, who would've been wearing even less if we had accepted your initial desing."

"Well I'd argue it would still be an effective uniform for a quirk such as mine."

"And a huge distraction and lawsuit depending on which parent sees you first."

Momo sighed in defeat. Despite her aspirations, she still was her parent's daughter. A formal lady who needed some sense of decency.

"Like it matters though. You'd still risk a slip if it wasn't for our special covers."

"Jirou should be simple enough… Right? Something like a necklace, or ring should be fine, yeah?" Ochako sifted through the pegs quickly picking out trinkets. Her right hand held a ring with the shape of a quarter note engraved, the other a necklace with a microphone shaped pendant attached.

"She does have several speakers incorporated into her costume."

"No kidding, it was a wiring mess when I was making prototypes."

"Wait you helped make her hero outfit, Mei?"

Both girls seemed to be surprised in the girl's involvement being so early into their high school careers.

"Well of course! The support division's R&D department is super quick to get into the meat of its course."

She was definitely proud and would probably rant if no one stopped her.

"It was so vague to start with, all she scribbled for details was 'Punk Rock'…"

"Wait! There'll be time for that later. Right now, right or left?"

Both agreed on the necklace, it was slightly cheaper than the ring.

"Now, for Ashido…" Mei rubbed her chin, deep in thought.

"Her hero name would've been Alien Queen, if Miss Midnight didn't reject it."

"It's funny you should mention initial names. Some of her earliest design documents had some more alien pieces, as well as insect like ones as well… Something akin to a moth or butterfly."

"So something like a space butterfly or a star butterfly?" Ochako droned listlessly.

"I don't imagine those kinds of accessories are commonplace."

"So, a star or a butterfly?"

"I think either would do?" Mei answered.

"Oh! I seem to have found a star ring. Would this sort of this suit Ashido's fancy?"

"Suit her fancy…? That's such an old person saying. What are you Tenya?"

"Sayings such as those are timeless Miss Hatsume!" The speedster defended the phrase with vigor.

"Wait were you listening in on us this whole time!?"

"I couldn't help it! Y-you were within hearing range."

"Wait you too Deku!? Were all of you listening?"

"Of course, they were… I've been peeking at Tenya react this entire time." The bubblegum mechanic laughed haughtily to herself.

"Wait how? I was being very discreet!"

"Mirror. My 12:00, your 3:00."

Just as she said angled off to his side there stood a full body mirror, one just barely showed the bespectacled young man. Only someone with extremely good eyesight would ever be able to notice any sort of gesture from here.

"For shame, Iida." Momo scolded.

"Yeah! That goes for the lot of you too." The brunette piqued in.

"My apologies… I was simply concerned on how you related to one another."

The boys were cornered. Midoriya was beginning to sweat, Iida began to get flustered once again and Todoroki just stood there unfazed by the scolding they received.

"Aww how sweet Tenya, worried about little ol' me?" Hatsume giggled in a faux lady like manner.

"But of course. I hold the upmost concern for all those I care about. You, Hatsume Mei, are no different." He replied looking directly into her eyes, speaking in a comforting tone. His hand reached her shoulders not allowing her to look anywhere but at him.

His matter of fact tone and serious demeanor was both a blessing and a curse when it came to dealing with Tenya Iida. It meant you were always getting the genuine article from the boy, but it also limited the ways you'd banter with him. Anything that didn't sound quite like sarcasm was taken wholeheartedly by the class representative, so you'd always get an honest and earnest answer.

And that answer was maybe just a little too intimate for its question.

'Geez does this guy have any idea what he just said.' Ochako sighed mentally, embarrassed by her friend's unwitting romantic line.

"Does Iida even realize what he just said?" Shouto took the words out of her mouth as he whispered into Midoriya's ear. A whisper only by his measure, both Momo and Ochako had heard it quite clearly as the mischievous mechanic and the serious speedster seemed to be in their own little world.

Shouto Todoroki always seemed to be a stoic and mysterious type to anyone who didn't know him well. However, when he opened up he was oddly unlike the initial impression, he was a bit blunt in his language, and somewhat tactless to an extent in given situations. It was charming but strange at the same time.

"I don't know… But that's just Iida for you."

"I agree with Midoriya, Shouto." Momo was right there with them

"Hey Momo? Why don't we just get the ring and pay already?"

"Agreed."

"Yeah, you're right Ochako. We should be meeting with them soon if you got the time right."

"Right…"

And with that the four young heroes approached the cashier, gifts in hand, without their fellow companions.
