Welcome back. If anyone is wondering, I don't quite have an idea of how many chapters are left, but I will say that this story is nearing it's end. I want to pace this story and not have it overstay it's welcome, meaning that the identity of Midoriya's girlfriend being revealed, is close at hand. With all of that said, let's continue.
Disclaimer: I do not own My Hero Academia or any of the characters.
Ochaco was worried about Midoriya, having seen him in class that day.
Midoriya was clearly exhausted and barely able to stay awake in class.
"I should probably talk to Deku, he looks like he needs help." Ochaco thought.
"Midoriya, pay attention." Midnight said.
Midoriya straightened his posture and looked up, barely able to keep his eyes open.
"Sorry." Midoriya said, with a yawn.
Ochaco sighed as she continued to take notes.
"Then again, he has his girlfriend, she'll probably be more helpful to him than I would be." Ochaco thought.
Later.
The rest of the day had gone by quickly, at least from Ochaco's perspective.
Within the blink of an eye, she had gone from the classroom to the dorms.
She was now sitting in the main room, with the rest of the girls, who were discussing Midoriya's girlfriend again.
"Hey, Ochaco, who do you think that it is?" Tsuyu asked.
Ochaco stopped daydreaming and turned her attention to her friends.
"I honestly don't know who it could be, I'm honestly still surprised that Deku is dating someone." Ochaco said.
"What do you mean?" Toru asked.
"Yeah, he seems cool, I'm honestly surprised that more people weren't throwing themselves at him." Mina said.
"I didn't mean it like that, I just meant that he seems so dedicated to his hero work, it comes as a surprise he would even be in a relationship." Ochaco explained.
"We all deserve a life outside of our line of work and pursuing leisure is important." Yaoyorozu said.
"I wish that I had done something." Ochaco thought.
"Mina, what did you mean by people throwing themselves at Deku?" Ochaco asked.
"It's obvious, isn't it?" Mina questioned.
"There's always three people in the spotlight and with this class, it's obvious who they are, considering who's always getting the most attention." Mina said.
"Bakugo is the one with attitude, Todoroki is the brooding loner and Midoriya is the sweet, shy and surprisingly intimidating one." Mina said.
"So, which one are you interested in?" Yaoyorozu asked.
Mina noticed that Yaoyorozu looked a little worried.
"None of the above, I've got my eye on someone else." Mina said, as she looked over at Kirishima.
As the girls were talking, Midoriya and Bakugo were in the hallway, discussing the matter of his girlfriend.
"Why did you tell her about your quirk?" Bakugo asked.
"She needed to know what she was getting into by being involved with me and my life." Midoriya explained.
"Our relationship is built on trust and the weight of the situation isn't something that you can just present one day and hope for the best." Midoriya said.
"It's now our shared responsibility and we're stronger because of it." Midoriya said.
Bakugo simply nodded his head in respect and smirked.
"If you really are stronger, then I look forward to crushing you during training." Bakugo said.
Midoriya just smirked and looked at Bakugo in amusement.
"Dream on." Midoriya said.
The two of them had failed to notice that during Bakugo's declaration, the rest of the guys had approached the two of them.
"You two are getting along?" Sero questioned.
"I never thought that I would see the day." Kaminari said.
"Bakugo, can we talk to you for a moment?" Kirishima asked.
Bakugo walked away with the rest of the guys, leaving Midoriya to finally head up to his room for some much needed sleep.
"Hopefully, it goes better this time." Midoriya thought.
The guys joined the girls, in the main room.
"Alright, we're all here and Midoriya is headed for his room." Shoji said.
"Perfect." Mina said.
"Now, as all of you know, we still have no new leads." Mina said.
Mina was about to continue talking, before a knock on the front door had stopped her.
"Who could that be?" Mina asked.
Mina walked over to the front door and opened it, revealing Kinoko Komori.
"Komori, what are you doing here?" Mina asked.
"Is… Tokoyami here?" Kinoko asked.
"Tokoyami, it's for you." Mina called for him.
As Mina walked back towards them, Tokoyami obliged, much to Tsuyu's dismay.
Tsuyu's feelings didn't go unnoticed by Yaoyorozu.
"Honestly, Tsuyu, I expect more from you, jealousy is unbecoming for a hero." Yaoyorozu said.
"You're one to talk." Mina thought.
As if Mina had willed it on her own, Camie soon appeared and entered the dorms.
"Hey, Shoto, what's up?" Camie asked, with a smile.
Camie and Shoto soon started their own conversation and went into the kitchen to keep talking.
As they did, Yaoyorozu glared at Camie, which she didn't notice that she was doing.
Tsuyu tapped Yaoyorozu on her shoulder, gaining her attention.
Yaoyorozu looked at Tsuyu, who was now grinning at her, smugly.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"A little bit." Tsuyu admitted.
Mina smirked, as she was secretly proud of Tsuyu at the moment.
Tokoyami soon rejoined the group.
"Hey, what did Kinoko want with you, anyway?" Mina asked.
"She asked me out on a date." Tokoyami stated.
Everyone looked at Tokoyami, in shock.
"What did you say?" Mina asked.
"I politely declined her offer, she is remarkable, but I have no romantic feelings towards her." Tokoyami said.
Tsuyu couldn't help but smile, but she still felt bad for Kinoko.
"I should probably talk to her tomorrow, I hope that she'll be alright." Tsuyu thought.
Mina subtly crossed Kinoko's name off of the list.
