11. Nervousness and Revenge (The Title Is More Thrilling than the Chapter Itself)
Wednesday, 15th December
Wednesday Morning
(04:58) She got it.
(05:34) There are many things I want to ask but I'll start with why are you up this early? You were quietly snoring in history yesterday, Todoroki!
(05:37) I've had the best sleep of this entire year, I think. I went to sleep before 10 pm and I feel refreshed.
(05:37) And I'm guessing that has something to do with Yaoyorozu-san.
(05:38) I called her last night and I told her.
(05:38) About…?
(05:38) Yes. And she got it. She got why I told her my name. She understood everything, Midoriya.
(05:38) Waw. Good for you, Todoroki!
(05:39) She's the first person apart from you I've ever told.
(05:39) And without even fighting her, that's a first.
(05:39) I'm still sorry about breaking your arm.
(05:39) It got you to set, so I'd do it again without blinking.
(05:39) I'll forever be grateful to you for that, Midoriya.
(05:40) Which is why you're planning on embarrassing me at the Christmas Party?
(05:40) What are you talking about?
(05:40) Oh please, I know for a fact that you and Iida are planning something behind my back.
(05:41) We are doing no such thing!
(05:41) Then why did Kaminari download classical music, something only you and Iida still listen to, on the school's computer?
(05:41) I'm the class vicerep, I work on that computer on a weekly basis, did you think I wouldn't notice?
(05:42) Yaoyorozu listens to classical music too, don't offend Mozart and Debussy like that!
(05:42) How did you even find her? And stop changing the subject!
(05:42) Actually, she found me. And I regret nothing.
(05:43) You're still changing the subject…
(05:43) Leaving your scheming aside (for now), do you like her, Todoroki?
(05:43) ? I wouldn't be talking to her if I didn't?
(05:45) I mean in a romantic way.
(05:45) Oh.
(05:47) I don't know?
(05:47) I've only met her once, Midoriya.
(05:47) Irrelevant. You told her your deepest insecurities, you must trust her. For how long you've known her or your meeting her only once doesn't truly matter.
(05:48) What even is to like someone?
(05:51) It's like… you feel giddy thinking about them, but when they're around? Everything is suddenly calm because having them there feels natural. That's the way it's supposed to be. Of course they may still make you feel flustered but at the end of the day? It's that person who you realize you can share even silence with.
(05:51) It may mean something else to every single person, but that's what it is to me.
(05:51) I meant it as a rhetorical question, but are you talking from experience?
(05:52) Todoroki!
(05:52) Fine fine.
(05:52) I don't know. But I know I can't picture a day without talking to her now, and that she means a lot to me. She's… precious. I think that's the term.
(05:52) I see…
(05:53) I for one don't think you have to label your relationship now.
(05:53) Are you saying to go with the flow?
(05:53) Why not? Sometimes life gets you exactly where you need to be.
(05:54) Oh look, I see you!
(05:54) I see you too.
(05:54) And Midoriya? Thanks.
(05:54) Anytime.
(05:55) Let's just get into the gymnasium for now, it's freezing out here.
/

(07:33) come oooonnnn
(07:34) i was just worried for you!
(07:34) you're probably trying to melt my stone heart but that's a failed attempt cadet
(07:34) i love my sleep more than anything
(07:34) jirouuuuu
(07:34) you must have been really excited if you called! so something good must have happened!
(07:34) it was VERY good
(07:35) too bad i won't tell you
(07:35) but its todomomo!
(07:35) my daily soap opera!
(07:35) its as necessary as the air i breathe!
(07:35) ahh so sad
(07:36) i almost shed a tear
(07:36) fine have it your way
(07:36) wait till you see wholl fill our trip playlist with sappy music
(07:36) YOU WOULDN'T!
(07:36) its my family youre coming with i choose the songs
(07:37) you know i HATE sappy songs
(07:37) so sad
(07:37) almost shed a tear
(07:37) you're despicable
(07:37) fine
(07:38) yaomomo likes wonderboy
(07:38) OH
(07:38) MY
(07:38) GOD!
(07:38) !
(07:38) TODOMOMO IS HAPPENING!
(07:39) now i'm glad i'm not there you would have killed my earbuds
(07:39) but jirou! this is huge news!
(07:39) i knooow
(07:39) that's why i called but *someone* was too busy to answer
(07:40) bakugou stayed over to practice
(07:40) a sleepover, how sweet!
(07:40) yeah right more like i was keeping an eye on him making sure he didnt wreck the rest of the house
(07:40) so he's not angry at you anymore?
(07:40) i think him staying over was his payback actually
(07:41) he told me ghost stories jirou! GHOST STORIES!
(07:41) you're scared of those
(07:41) EXACTLY!
(07:41) i saw the evil look on his face and he was enjoying it the bastard!
(07:42) look i'd like to diss mr grumpypants more but yaomomo's having an existential crisis
(07:42) gotta go
(07:42) omg I BET IT'S ABOUT TODOROKI!
(07:42) keep me posted
/
(07:40) Was texting always this hard?
(07:42) I officially can't do it. I can't talk to him.
(07:42) never knew you were such a drama queen yaomomo
(07:43) But everytime I try writing a message I remember that I like him and I just. Sort of freeze.
(07:43) I can't face him like this Kyouka!
(07:43) well you aren't actually *facing* him
(07:43) more like *screening* him or something
(07:44) Not funny!
(07:44) Also, 'to screen' is an already existing verb and none of its meanings fit this context, so the pun isn't valid.
(07:44) okay jeez, i was just trying to lighten up the mood, you killjoy!
(07:44) just text him about whatever and you'll find your pacing once you start talking
(07:45) the key is not to overthink it
(07:45) I don't want to hear that from the person who rolled around in bed waiting for texts from her crush. I would know, I have the top bunker.
(07:45) we're not talking about that, yaomomo. friendship contract article 17!
(07:46) I didn't mention his name so I'm technically in the green zone.
(07:46) i hate how specific you are
(07:48) where are you anyway?
(07:48) Cafeteria.
(07:48) Where you should also be if you want those rice crackers.
(07:48) keep them there I'M COMING!
First period
(07:56) When did it get so cold outside?! I had to walk the trek to school and I thought I'd freeze to death!
(07:59) Don't complain.
(07:59) Mirio made us do drills outside.
(07:59) Oh no! What if you get sick right before the big game?
(08:00) We won't, we're used to this.
(08:00) We also took a hot shower afterwards.
(08:00) Actually I think we have bigger problems than the cold.
(08:01) Enlighten me.
(08:01) Bakugou seemed in a *good mood* today.
(08:01) I beg your pardon?
(08:01) Exactly how Midoriya and I reacted.
(08:01) He was *humming* in the lockers.
(08:02) Should I get my apocalypse kit in order?
(08:02) I would strongly advise that.
(08:02) His "friends" looked equally worried.
(08:02) Why the quotes?
(08:03) I'm still not certain Bakugou is capable of making friends. Uraraka and I are 99% convinced he blackmailed his squad one way or another.
(08:04) What about the other 1%?
(08:04) Kirishima.
(08:04) ?
(08:05) There's this really nice guy in our class who's the closest thing to a best friend Bakugou has.
(08:05) He can actually *tame* Bakugou.
(08:05) Waw. So it's doable.
(08:05) Barely. He still barks, just doesn't bite.
(08:06) Well he couldn't stop Bakugou from fighting Midoriya and nearly destroying Court B.
(08:06) Oh dear, are they alright?
(08:06) Healthy, yes, but they got detention back then. All Might had to intervene and well, it wasn't all that pretty.
(08:06) I don't know the whole story. I think no one apart from the three of them actually does.
(08:07) Huh. Each of you sure has a loaded history.
(08:07) Oh uhm. I don't mean that in a negative way!
(08:07) I know.
(08:07) I just think it's amazing how you can create this stories together and learn from them!
(08:07) What about you then? I'm sure you and Jirou have your own backstory.
(08:08) Ah, it's pretty lame actually.
(08:08) Still, I'd like to know, if you don't mind.
(08:08) Of course I don't!
(08:09) So me and Jirou have known each other since we were six, but we weren't very close or anything. We bumped into each other every now and then, a few times in middle school because our classrooms were close, but I never really spoke to her extensively.
(08:09) Neither one of us knew the other one would apply for Shiketsu. Actually, my first choice was UA.
(08:09) Really?
(08:10) Yeah. I liked the school better than Shiketsu, but this was family tradition and the chemistry labs here are better, although UA had better connections with science partners.
(08:10) Did you apply for UA?
(08:10) I got in through recommendation. And then my parents talked into into choosing Shiketsu.
(08:10) I see…
(08:11) There I was, a confused first year student, suddenly faced with having to share a dorm with a stranger. To both our surprises, my assigned roommate was none other than Kyouka.
(08:11) Afterwards we just clicked.
(08:11) Kind of like Midoriya and Uraraka.
(08:11) How so?
(08:12) They met on the day of the entrance exam. Since they also wanted to join the volleyball team and the number of places for it is limited, there is a separate exam for that. Midoriya shielded Uraraka from a ball that was coming her way and was about to knock her out cold, but that made him miss a ballpoint on their own court.
(08:13) In the end he scored no points and he was sure he'd fail, so Uraraka went to personally talk to Present Mic and give half of her points to him.
(08:13) What happened?
(08:13) They both got extra points for teamwork that scraped them into their respective teams and a warning to stop being so selfless.
(08:14) That's actually adorable!
(08:14) You should have seen him on the first day, he was tomato red.
(08:14) Why can I actually picture him hiding his face and mumbling?
(08:15) Is it scary that I feel like I've known your friends forever?
(08:15) No, not really. I also feel like Jirou has been dissing me forever.
(08:15) What about the badges she keeps giving you?
(08:15) Just a pretext so she can worm more information out of me and later blackmail me.
(08:16) So accurate it's almost scary.
(08:16) Oh, Miss Midnight is here, I have to go! Talk to you later?
(08:16) Wouldn't miss it.
/
(08:08) i see you're happily texting
(08:08) what was the ice breaker?
(08:09) The cold.
(08:11) yaomomo.
(08:11) when i said anything
(08:11) i didn't mean the weather
(08:12) we need to have a serious talk about your social skills
(08:16) i don't know how you found someone who can engage in a conversation about the weather and make you bite your smile away
(08:16) are you sure you aren't soulmates?
(08:16) I'm only sure that I like him.
(08:17) omg too pure! stand back you angel!
(08:17) I'd hug you if Midnight-sensei wasn't here.
(08:17) murdered with love
(08:18) a nice thing to put on my tombstone
Second period
(08:59) they're dorks
(09:02) what now?
(09:02) they talk about the freaking weather.
(09:02) young innocent love
(09:02) spoken like an old wise man
(09:03) this old wise man shall remind you that our sweet dear yaomomo needs to practice too
(09:03) shoot you're right
(09:03) keep bakugou away from your place today
(09:04) also i'll ask mina to dance somewhere else
(09:04) why?
(09:04) she'll get suspicious if she sees midoriya and iida there!
(09:04) right
(09:05) you do that
(09:05) ill try to make sense of why bakugou's smiling like that
(09:05) honestly anything that doesnt look like murderous intent is creepy on his face
/
(09:06) girl, practice tonight at kaminari's place?
(09:06) I guess I got myself into a band, didn't I?
(09:07) do you regret it?
(09:07) Not a bit. I'll be there.
(09:07) perfect
Third Period
(10:03) Midoriya.
(10:04) Wait, we're not doing it like this anymore.
(10:04) What?
Midoriya created a group chat with you, Iida and Uraraka
Midoriya named the group chat "Todoroki's Drama"
Todoroki: What's this?
Uraraka: It was very tiring for you to tell Deku, Deku to tell me and me to tell Iida, so we decided to create a group! ^~^
Midoriya: If you're comfortable with it, of course!
Todoroki: You'd all have found out sooner or later anyway, so I don't mind.
Todoroki: But why is the group titled "Todoroki's Drama"?
Uraraka: Because your story is literally a soap opera Todoroki!
Todoroki: That's just because you enjoy it immensely.
Todoroki renamed the group "My Nosy Friends"
Iida: Do you believe we are too nosy, Todoroki-kun?
Todoroki: It's partially my fault for telling you, so no.
Uraraka: Stop delaying the story!
Todoroki: Okay okay.
Todoroki: Yaoyorozu told me she initially wanted to go to UA, but it was family tradition and whatnot to attend Shiketsu.
Todoroki: Even so, she took the recommendation exam for UA and got accepted.
Uraraka: OMG REALLY?!
Todoroki: Yeah.
Todoroki: So that got me thinking that I could have met her back then, only that I took the volleyball team admission exam, and that had a different schedule.
Iida: Do you regret not having met her earlier?
Todoroki: As weird as that may sound, I don't. I don't think I was at a point in my life where I appreciated people at their fullest, nor did I see them for who they were.
Todoroki: I want to stop regretting what has or hasn't happened, and start appreciating what *is* happening.
Midoriya: That's beautiful, Todoroki.
Uraraka: Deku don t cry! Present Mic will notice you!
Iida: Speaking of, we should pay attention to the class.
Todoroki: Because ellipses will be oh so important in my day to day life.
Uraraka: I m with Todoroki on this one
Uraraka: They're ignoring us!
Todoroki: And they have the audacity to claim to be our friends!
Uraraka: Are you thinking what I m thinking? :))))
Todoroki: I think I am!
Lunch Break
The Bakusquad
ElectroBolt: okay but really guys why is bakugou smiling hes CREEPING ME OUT
Cellophane: You do realise he's also in this chat don't ya?
ElectroBolt: you do realise i want him to see this message dont ya?

ElectroBolt: OH

ElectroBolt: GOD
ElectroBolt: THIS IS TREASON!
ElectroBolt: our friendship is hereby dissolved
ElectroBolt: i cant believe this
Cellophane: Wtf dude?

ElectroBolt: WHY WOULD YOU EXPOSE ME LIKE THAT?!
Cellophane: Really?
ElectroBolt: and you call yourself friends…
Explodo McExplode: He nearly pissed himself at Paranormal Activity!
Cellophane: But that's a mild movie!
Explodo McExplode: Exactly! But you should have seen him squirming!
Explodo McExplode: Fucking priceless.
ElectroBolt: i thought we got along guys!

ElectroBolt: have fun making fun of me
Explodo McExplode: Oh we fucking will!
Red Riot: BAKUGOU!
Red Riot: Kaminari… get back… we're sorry!
/
(13:36) If Todoroki drops by, ignore him, please.
(13:38) Uhm, may I ask why?
(13:38) He and Uraraka-san are ignoring me and Iida.
(13:38) Still a bit lost.
(13:40) We made a group chat, but Iida and I turned our phones off when the math class started, ignoring all messages.
(13:40) I think Todoroki and Uraraka-san are returning that particular favour.
(13:41) I see.
(13:41) You sure have the most interesting dynamic!
(13:41) Why do I feel like a study case?
(13:41) Ah no, that wasn't my intention, Midoriya-san!
(13:42) I meant to say you all seem very close friends! Your shenanigans are quite amusing, actually.
(13:42) I'm sure you do this sort of things too.
(13:42) Our interactions are a bit different, maybe because my friends are mostly girls.
(13:43) For instance, we have scrabble nights and we often gather round just to listen to Kyouka sing or watch a movie.
(13:43) The advantages of dorm life, I suppose.
(13:43) Scrabble sounds like a fun way to learn though! I should bring it to Iida's attention, I'm certain he'd agree! We could maybe do that, as well…
(13:44) Is this your famous mumbling?
(13:44) I see Todoroki has wasted no time in informing you about my habits
(13:44) Haha sorry.
(13:44) I also happen to know you're especially good with numbers.
(13:45) Uhm, am I overstepping my boundaries?
(13:45) Not at all. In fact you should probably know he talks about you a lot, too.
(13:45) We actually created that infamous group chat for the sole purpose of having direct access to news concerning you, Yaoyorozu.
(13:47) Too much?
(13:47) No no, I'm happy you told me.
(13:48) I'm… flattered, in fact.
(13:48) That's a relief.
(13:48) In any case I should disappear before I divulge too much.
(13:48) Just remember my request.
(13:49) I'll see what I can do.
/
(13:45) They have a chat so that Todoroki-san can tell them about me!
(13:46) and wonderboy shall his name remain
(13:46) I am hyperventilating, Kyouka, how do I even respond to that?!
(13:46) a heart emoji may do the trick
(13:46) …
(13:47) alright fine, how do you feel about it?
(13:47) Ecstatic. Excited. Flattered. Very much confused.
(13:47) flattered seems safe, go with that
(13:48) Thank you!
(13:48) seriously, when will i get paid for this shit?
/
(13:47) please tell me at least you appreciate me
(13:48) and psychologist shall be my career path
(13:48) doctor jirou here, how may i help you?
(13:48) my "friends" found out my most humiliating weakness: horror movies
(13:49) and now theyre laughing at my expense
(13:49) what shall i do doctor?
(13:49) ignore them. let them see what a day without you feels like
(13:49) and if that fails, there's always blackmailing them in revenge
(13:50) why do you assume that will fail…?
(13:50) i'm just offering alternatives pikachu
(13:52) sighhhhh
(13:52) thanks i guess
(13:52) pikachu?
(13:53) yeah?
(13:53) i do appreciate you
Sixth Period
(15:03) Revenge may be stupid but it sure is sweet.
(15:03) Uraraka and I have been ignoring Midoriya and Iida for about two hours now. You should see the desperate look on Midoriya's face, it's priceless!
(15:04) He was so desperate he actually wrote to me, asking me to ignore you.
(15:04) You aren't doing a very good job at it. (Is that how he abuses of having your number?)
(15:04) Do you want me to comply with that particular request? (It would appear so.)
(15:05) Please don't, I quite enjoy talking to you.
(15:05) I would say so. After all, I heard Midoriya made a group just so you could give them updates from our discussions.
(15:05) That settles it, I'll be ignoring him until the match.
(15:06) Don't be so harsh on him, you have practice later today, right?
(15:06) If anything, I think it's nice that you share this stuff with them. … I tell Jirou too.
(15:06) Nice?
(15:06) Cute or adorable sounded slightly creepy.
(15:07) I'm relieved that you don't think *I'm* creepy.
(15:07) You aren't.
(15:07) Phew.
(15:09) Yaoyorozu, I think we officially made today "Ignore Your Friends" day. One of our classmates (from Bakugou's "squad") is ignoring his friends too.
(15:09) And Bakugou looks freaking pissed.
(15:10) Is that trendy these days? Ignoring others?
(15:10) It is when Midoriya is in distress over my teaming up with Uraraka. She had to try really hard not to laugh when he literally *begged* her to excuse him.
(15:10) I had to cover her mouth to keep our pact.
(15:11) Which is?
(15:11) Ignoring them till school is over.
(15:11) All of this for maths.
(15:11) Precisely *what for* will I need ellipses in my life?
(15:12) Actually, they are quite useful! You have surely heard of Versailles, right? The French castle that was considered one of the finest in Europe at the time of its construction, with its breathtaking gardens?
(15:12) One of the reason the gardens are so highly regarded is that they were very carefully planned. They were designed for the high ladies to gossip, and to eavesdrop. So they were created using the optical property of an ellipse.
(15:13) Basically if you send a ray of sun or sound wave from one focal point to the ellipse, it will be reflected exactly into the other focal point. So the gardeners put the benches in the focal points and built an ellipse of trees, thus enabling nobility to hear everything the others were talking about!
(15:13) That's… Waw, Yaoyorozu, why do you know that?
(15:14) Ah, I just like reading useless stuff!
(15:14) This isn't useless at all! It actually motivated me to learn about them.
(15:14) I'm going to borrow Iida's notes.
(15:14) So you'll stop ignoring him?
(15:15) I'd do anything to eavesdrop on nobility.
(15:15) Sounds only fair. Good luck with that!
(15:15) Thanks.
/
(15:20) I don't know how you piqued his interest in maths, but this is even better than ignoring him.
(15:22) He's been diligently learning for over five minutes this is astounding.
(15:22) I thought Todoroki-san had good grades?
(15:23) He does, he's third in our class. But still, he doesn't like maths with a burning passion or anything. Especially not geometry.
(15:23) I'm glad he's feeling motivated then!
(15:24) You're a good influence on him, Yaoyorozu.
(15:26) He told me about your phone call… Thank you.
(15:26) I want to be there for him.
(15:27) You already are.
Seventh Period
(16:14)! Aizawa!
(16:16) {all might? what are you doing, texting during class?}
(16:16)! Don't worry! I gave them a quiz!
(16:17) {it s the end of the year, do you hate them?}
(16:17)! I don't! It's an exercise so they'd learn to never let their guard down!
(16:17) {was that advice from "teaching for dummies"?}
(16:18)! You knew?!
(16:18) {everybody knows}
(16:19)! That is mildly disturbing!
(16:19)! However! That is not why I initiated this conversation!
(16:19)! I heard four Shiketsu students want to join the UA Christmas Party!
(16;20) {wasn t that an exclusive ua thing?}
(16:20)! It still is, but your students have formed a band with mine, so I see no logical reason to refuse their attendance to the event!
(16:20)! But you must understand we can't let just anyone in, so I need you to veto for them, and I also shall meet them in person tomorrow after the match!
(16:20) {sounds reasonable}
(16:21) {lemme guess: jirou?}
(16:21)! Her name was indeed mentioned!
(16:21) {figures. she s in the music club and can play almost any instrument}
(16:21)! Impresive!
(16:22) {probably tokoyami too, he s on the bass or something}
(16:22)! Yes, your guess is correct!
(16:22)! A certain Ashido Mina was also mentioned!
(16:23) {a rowdy one, but she s got break dancing under her belt. make sure not to let her near any acid though}
(16:23)! What?!
(16:23) {long story short, she has her way with chemicals, in a way that almost rivals the best students. she never follows the recipe but always gets the synthesis right. it s a gift}
(16:24)! You make it sound like you're a tough teacher (I bet you threatened to expel them) but isn't this the first year when you haven't actually expelled anyone?!
(16:24) {they re a bunch with hope for a bright future}
(16:24)! Are you soft, Aizawa?!
(16:25) {no, i m just giving credit where credit is due}
(16:25)! Never thought the day would come when your heart would be melted!
(16:25) {you ve always been one for the dramatics all right}
(16:25) {you ve mentioned four students and we only have three. who s the last one?}
(16:26)! That's actually the interesting part!
(16:26)! It's Yaoyorozu, the one who also passed *our* recommendation exam and still chose Shiketsu!
(16:26) {should have figured}
(16:26) {yaoyorozu and jirou are roommates, and the former always keeps the latter out of trouble. makes sense that she d come}
(16:27) {also i m glad she chose shiketsu. she s my best student, albeit she would never describe herself as such}
(16:27)! Modesty?!
(16:27) {self doubt}
(16:27)! Quite common among top students, in fact!
(16:27) {another quote from your manuals?}
(16:28) {jokes aside, i am surprised she agreed to being part of the band}
(16:28)! Can she not play any instrument?!
(16:28) {on the contrary, she played the piano during the cultural festival. she just isn t the type to party}
(16:29) {although judging from the decorations in the common room, she is quite passionate about christmas}
(16:29)! Who isn't?!
(16:29) {hah}
(16:30) {you ll like her. she s hardworking and diligent. maybe too much so}
(16:30)! I cannot believe you said that!
(16:30) {typed}
(16:31) {as much as i complain, they re still kids. sometimes we forget that they should have fun, too}
(16:31)! I suppose so!
(16:31)! I am certain my students will have the time of their lives playing tomorrow. We won't go easy on you!
(16:31) {neither will we}
(16:31) {or the band}
(16:33)! I look forward to that then!

(17:50) ***Good for you, dipshit!***
(17:52) no rehearsal tonight
(17:53) ***WHY THE FUCK NOT?!***
(17:53) im angry with you
(17:55) ***Fucking idiot!***
/
(17:55) the coast is clear
(17:56) i have no idea how you did it but good job!
(17:56) im just a genius
(17:56) no comment
(17:56) HEY!
(17:57) ashido will also practice at that aoyama dude's place so we're safe
(17:57) time to rocknroll!
After school
(18:34) you coming, yaomomo?
(18:37) Just a second, I'm wrapping up my duties as Class Representative!
(18:38) we'll be in the lobby when you're done. kaminari's picking us up.
(18:45) Great!
Wednesday Evening
(20:03) It feels weird to be done with practice so early.
(20:34) Sorry for the delay, I was helping Kyouka with something!
(20:34) Is it because of the match tomorrow?
(20:36) You apologised.
(20:36) And yes, it is. Mirio-senpai and All Might insisted that we should rest up. They even told us we don't have practice tomorrow morning.
(20:37) And yet you'll be there anyway.
(20:37) Yes. I don't think I could sit still without touching the ball until after school.
(20:37) Besides, I know Midoriya and Bakugou well enough to guarantee that they'll be coming, too.
(20:38) It does sound like you guys.
(20:38) I have a hunch our senpais will be there too. They're all jittery to play against Shiketsu.
(20:38) I can't wait to see the match!
(20:38) Here I was, thinking you were looking forward to seeing me.
(20:39) That goes without saying.
(20:39) I'm actually too giddy to sleep.
(20:39) That's the fun fact you're getting, for the record.
(20:40) I feel at ease around you. Seeing you just seems the logical consequence to me.
(20:40) Shiketsu and UA aren't that far apart after all. Maybe we could… But your match comes first, of course!
(20:40) Yeah. I'd like that. A lot.
(20:41) I should probably go to sleep so that tomorrow will come faster.
(20:41) Right. Good night, Todoroki-san! And good luck tomorrow!
(20:41) Thank you. Night!
/
(22:31) will you stop tossing around? i'm trying to sleep here!
(22:33) is it wng?
(22:34) I can text him like normal (thank God!), but I'm *meeting* him tomorrow, Kyouka. Actually *seeing* him in flesh and bones.
(22:35) no shit sherlock.
(22:35) stop sighing dramatically. the point is you like him, but that doesn't change anything
(22:36) It changes *everything*.
(22:36) no it doesn't. all that "world being brighter" stuff is crap. nothing actually changes, except for you. you and your feelings change and grow, and as long as you accept and embrace that, the world continues its normal course
(22:37) believe me yaomomo, there's too much shit going on for the universe to have time to go "this is a boring day, let's fuck yaoyorozu up"
(22:37) That's oddly reassuring, though your phrasing does worry me.
(22:37) Thank you, Kyouka. I'm still not sure how to go about tomorrow, but it's a nice reminder that whatever happens, it won't kill me.
(22:37) duh. and i'll be there too
(22:38) How will I ever repay you for all of this?
(22:38) calling off the cleaning and laundry deal would be nice
(22:38) i could also take payment in sweets, i'm not picky
(22:38) It was a rhetorical question.
(22:39) do you want to cancel your subscription to kyouka wisdom?
(22:39) No laundry and extra dessert it is.
(22:39) I KNEW WE WERE FRIENDS FOR A REASON!
(22:40) The cleaning duty remains. Non-negotiable.
(22:40) Good night, Kyouka!
(22:40) i hope you have nightmares
AN: Hello everyone!
This update came later than it should have - sorry, mock exams took over my life. I'll update again tomorrow and then in the weekend too~ There are a lot of easter eggs inside, especially concerning Kamijirou and Izuocha, because this chapter marks the beginning of second half of the story (I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'VE ALREADY REACHED THE MIDDWAY POINT LIKE WAW!) and I intend to delve into the subplots more from now on, while keeping the focus on Todomomo! Perhaps that's why this chapter feels a little over the place, with a lot of things happening at the same time, but I hope it wasn't confusing!
The chapters from now on will focus, just like before, on one main thing, but I needed the transition to that, as Momo and Shouto's universes widen and they start to talk more and more about what's around them, too.
Thank you for reading! I'm still blown away by the positive reception of this fic, and I surely hope you'll keep enjoying it! All of your love keeps me alive!~~
