Our New Roommate

by 3PeopleInACoat

U.A. plans to change up the dorm system to boarding houses for their students, but an altercation with two older students destroys Izuku Midoriya's room, leaving him to room with the girls of Class 1B for the next few weeks until his room is repaired. During that time, the girls realize that Izuku is a bit underappreciated ...

28. Dino-Date

It was very lucky that Izuku wasn't hurt when Itsuka abruptly leapt to her feet once she realized exactly what Yui said, and accidentally sent him falling off her lap, landing on his face with a yelp and making the girls panic like he just fell off Tokyo Tower instead of off the couch. While he was pretty much unharmed, he was, however, very embarrassed that he'd fallen asleep in her lap, and his face had completely transformed into a tomato as the girls leaned in to make sure he didn't break anything in his face, while he shakenly confirmed that he was okay.

While they inspected his face, Itsuka, meanwhile, had turned right around to hide her own burning face, hoping against all hope that he didn't catch a glimpse of her cheeks glowing like lava. After the girls made sure that he didn't break anything, Izuku bid them all goodnight, his eyes still a bit wide from being awoken so unexpectedly and his face still burning from the realization that he was napping on Itsuka's legs (and thanked everyone internally for not pointing out his problem downstairs when he thought of how soft her legs had been), and carefully made his way upstairs to his room as though he didn't really trust his feet to get him there.

The girls assembled in the kitchen, carefully looking at Itsuka as she stared out the window of the kitchen, not moving at all other than shaking very subtly. Once they heard his door shut upstairs, however, she immediately whipped around at Yui, her face so red her entire head looked like it was on fire, which, coupled with the wide eyes and hanging, quivering jaw, made Setsuna and Kinoko finally break and burst into laughter at the sight.

"You - what - I - what?!" Itsuka stuttered, quickly moving to grab the back of the nearest chair at the table and squeezing tightly. "S - you what?! I should -"

"Oh, wow," Setsuna guffawed, grinning widely as Itsuka struggled to make a coherent sentence, "I think you broke her, Yui."

"I - you -"

"I must admit, this is an odd sight," Ibara wondered out loud, sitting at the table and watching as Itsuka had her meltdown, "normally she's very composed; I don't think I've ever seen her this flustered."

"S - se - you - what -"

"Just wait," The stoic girl sighed as she joined Ibara sitting at the table, waiting for their class representative to overcome her mind melting and find her words, "she'll eventually -"

"- you think I should what?!"

"Oh. There we go, that was much quicker than I thought it would be."

"I - what - have sex with him?!" Itsuka leaned forward, putting one of her hands on the table while the other girls nonchalantly went into the kitchen to grab some water and snacks, Setsuna doing a quick game of rock-paper-scissors with Pony over the last slice of pizza and cursing when she lost. "You think I should - what, fuck him before he moves out?! Is that what you're saying, or am I not understanding something?!"

"No, you heard me completely right," Yui nodded, really nonplussed by the whole thing. "I think before he goes, you should drag him into your room, rip off his clothes, and rock his socks off. Like you've wanted to do since we walked in on him in the shower."

"Wh -?! I - no, I haven't!"

"Girl," Setsuna chuckled from her spot in the kitchen, sitting up on the counter and grinning at the orange-haired girl, "come on. We're all a bit stupid, but not that stupid. We walked in on him in the shower, and you looked like you needed a good thumping with the horny bat. Besides, you can't deny you're pretty much just looking for an excuse at this point."

"Er - wh - what?"

"I mean," She shrugged her shoulders, "you've been giving him the 'fuck me' eyes for like, weeks now."

Itsuka sputtered at that, going even redder when the other girls glanced at each other and nodded as well.

"I ... have noticed you've been ... giving him glances," Ibara reluctantly admitted, going a bit red, "that may be quite ... suggestive in nature."

" I - guys, I don't -"

"And the onsen!" Pony pointed out helpfully, opening the microwave to take out her now heated up slice of pizza and sticking her tongue out at Pony when she shook her head at her. "You literally stripped down for him! It's obvious that you wanna have sex!"

"Guys, I - I don't -"

"Itsuka," Reiko sat at the table beside Yui, giving her a knowing look while Itsuka tried hard not to let her mind get melted again, "can you say that if you went up to your room now, and Izuku came in asking for sex, you'd turn him down?"

"I - um -" Itsuka glanced away, fidgeting slightly while the other girls gave her knowing looks, Setsuna smiling smugly while Yui raised her eyebrow. Even Ibara was giving her friend a somewhat judging look, as though daring their class representative to lie directly to their faces. While it was quite an amusing sight, seeing their normally calm and collected class representative stutter like a some middle school girl denying she liked a boy, they all knew that Itsuka was pretty much going through denial at this point, so it was better to get it out of her now - especially since Izuku was going to be leaving them much sooner than any of them wanted (and to be frank, while none of them voiced it, they never wanted him to leave).

Finally, Itsuka seemed to compose herself, letting out a small sigh as she slapped her cheeks, trying to get her blush to die down, and glanced back at her friends.

"Guys ..." she finally said, "... I can't just ... go upstairs and -"

"Girl, of course you can," Pony shook her head, sitting down beside Kinoko at the table and beginning to munch on her late night snack. "You can't even say that you don't want to pressure him into it. It's pretty obvious Izuku wants to have sex with you too."

"I -"

"Oh, no, that's pretty obvious," Setsuna laughed. "He checks us all out, sure, but you're special."

"H-how the hell am I special?!" Itsuka whipped around, her cheeks going red again, while the other girls giggled at her obvious fluster.

"Abs." Yui nodded, glancing down at her stomach exposed by her crop top, and nodding. "He really likes your abs. I'd give examples, but we all remember truth or dare."

"And your arms," Setsuna teased, leaning forward, "the boy glances at your arms all the time and goes bright red. If I didn't know better, I'd say he either wanted to kiss them or put him in a chokehold."

"He also looks at your butt a lot," Kinoko added in, none of the girls really noticing Itsuka start to melt into a pile of embarrassment on the floor, "like - I know he likes checking us all out, since we all have pretty nice butts -"

"Trust me, I've done the research," Yui muttered, while Reiko surpressed a chuckle.

"- but he really likes yours. He checks it out whenever he can!"

"And your boobs! He really likes -"

"Guys," Itsuka managed to grit out through clenched teeth, grabbing the top of the chair tightly in her grip, "I get it."

"Do you?" Yui asked, leaning forward and looking at her best friend carefully. "You know that Izuku's as attracted to you as he is to all of us, and you're attracted to him just as much, so what's really the problem? What are you waiting for? I'm sorry to bring this up again, but he only has two more days with us, and since Setsuna's going to be taking up most of his time tomorrow -"

"What?" Setsuna blinked, looking around in slightly surprise, "No, no, it's all of us, right? He'll be hanging out with all of us. I'm not going to be taking up most of his time."

At that, though, most of the girls looked around at her, even Itsuka in her embarrassed state, and gave her a raised eyebrow.

"Girl," Pony shook her head, "if you literally abandon him at any point tomorrow, I'm going to hit you with my special move."

"What?!"

"Yes, I agree," Reiko nodded, "I'm not saying to be attached to him by the hip or anything, but you'd better be hanging out with him literally all day tomorrow."

"Guys, really, I don't -"

"It is your date," Yui reminded her, "and we are going to be hanging out - but we're also aware that this is your thing, so we're expecting you to be with Izuku all tomorrow. Just to let you know, if you try to ditch him at any point, I'm shrinking a t-rex and throwing it at you."

Setsuna looked like she wanted to protest that, but the other girls looked at her expectedly, looking like they were agreeing with what Yui said, so the green-haired girl only sighed and leaned back on the counter, pouting but not arguing anymore. Not that that was going to stop her - she'd convince them all to hang out with him tomorrow, she wasn't going to be taking up all of his time selfishly.

"Anyway," Yui got back on track, turning back to Itsuka, "Setsuna's going to be taking up most of Izuku's time tomorrow, so you're starting to run out of options for putting the moves on him. You could theoretically do it tomorrow night, unless Setsuna wants to hang out with him more, and then you have all Wednesday, and then - that's it. I don't think you want to try having sex with him an hour before Aizawa comes to make him move out."

Itsuka's face fell at that, glancing back down at the table. The other girls grimaced slightly as well, realizing that if Itsuka did want to finally have sex with him, it'd have to be soon - before he moved out and she would be faced with even more limited options. Ibara seemed to pick up on Itsuka's hesitation, though, and reached over to pat her arm in comfort.

"While ... I might be a bit hesitant on how you should go about addressing your feelings with Midoriya," the vine girl sighed, "I do believe Yui has a point. I know that we are being ... rather impractical about this, as Izuku can come over at any time, and you can resolve this tension then ... but I'm in the opinion that if you let him leave without ... you know ... doing the deed," she blushed at that, "after this entire month of tension ... you may regret it."

Itsuka studied the table a bit at that, her face looking contemplative and a bit sad - but she shook her head, glancing back up.

"I'll ... think about it," she sighed, "just ... let me sleep on it, okay?"

The other girls glanced between each other, nodding slightly, and gave Itsuka encouraging smiles, completely understanding - they were pretty much telling her to just woman up and do what she'd clearly been wanting to do since Izuku licked her stomach during the truth or dare game, so she might need some time to properly think about it. Of course, even Itsuka knew that Ibara was right - if she wanted to make a decision about what to do with him, she'd need to make it quickly. Izuku and Setsuna were going to be on their date tomorrow, and the girls knew that Setsuna would probably want him to stay with her tomorrow night (Setsuna thought of her small plan that she had formed this morning, and felt her cheeks go slightly red at the thought), so that would just leave Wednesday as Itsuka's only chance to finally have sex with him.

"I ... okay," Itsuka sighed, and stood up properly again, "I'll ... I'll make a decision by tomorrow night. I'm going to go to bed now, though - I was dozing off a little too during the movie. Goodnight, guys."

As the other six girls wished her goodnight and promised to see her tomorrow, they watched Itsuka go up the stairs and out of sight, sitting in the kitchen and letting out small sighs as Ibara glanced around the kitchen at everyone, pursing her lips slightly.

"You don't ... think we pushed the subject a little too hard, do you?" She asked the kitchen as a whole, "I don't want to feel like we're pressuring her into doing something she's not comfortable with."

"... maybe," Yui sighed again, leaning forward and staring at the table with her own little frown, "I might have been a little ... aggressive there. I'll apologize to her tomorrow."

"Well," Reiko shook her head, patting Yui's shoulder as she glanced after their seventh roommate, "even if you were a little blunt about it, I believe you did raise a good point - once Izuku moves out, as much as I hate to admit it, it's very possible that we won't be able to spend as much time with him as we'd like - school is starting back up next week, and the chances of us seeing him frequently are going to be limited, especially when we all have to get back to work next semester. And I have a feeling that if Itsuka did decide she wanted to do something with him, she wouldn't want just some random encounter where she just goes up to Izuku and asks to sleep with him - she wants to make it special. And the only time she'd be able to have something special -" she sighed, "- is on Wednesday."

The other girls glanced amongst each other, feeling their hearts grow heavy for the same reason - Izuku only had two more full days with them, and then the half day on Thursday, and then that was it. He was leaving. And unless Vlad King somehow had an epiphany about how letting Izuku stay with them would be better for everyone within the next 48+ hours, it was going to be like Reiko said - he wouldn't have much time to spend with them.

And as much as everyone didn't like it, although no one said anything as they got up to go to their rooms, wanting to get some sleep before waking up early tomorrow to go to the museum, they knew that if Itsuka did decide to finally have sex with him, they'd all graciously back off from him and let her work her magic. Which they knew was the right call - Izuku and Itsuka had at least more than a month's worth of tension to finally uncoil, the two of them didn't need six people getting in their way.

They just hoped that they'd be able to have some time with him before she finally made her move.

"Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? Yes, you are! Yes, you are!"

Vlad King felt a vein pulse on his forehead as Itsuka showed him the video of him playing with his bulldog, the normally stern and confident pro hero on the video looking like an utter fool as he played with his dog in the park near UA. The pro hero glanced up at the girls and Izuku waiting a few meters away, Izuku gulping nervously as Itsuka held her phone straight up to her teacher's face, smirking confidently as her teacher attempted to find a proper comeback to the video, before the large man, towering over all the teenagers present, sagged his shoulders and let out a defeated sigh.

"You know," he grumbled, "you can always just ask to go somewhere on short notice. You don't have to always resort to blackmail, Kendou."

"Maybe," Itsuka shrugged, putting her phone away in her coat pocket and grinning up at her teacher, "but that would be less fun, wouldn't it, sensei?"

"Yeah, yeah," Vlad King shook his head, waving a hand. "Anyway, I'll write down that the six of you are going to be accompanying Midoriya and Tokage. Just be back here by eight tonight, and everything should be okay. And be sure to have someone text me around lunch, just so I know everything's fine."

"Sounds good! Thanks, sensei!"

It was early in the morning, a little bit after nine o'clock, and Izuku and the girls had gotten up early to dress in dresses, and in Izuku's case a white button up shirt and jeans (Setsuna did offer a dress for Izuku, and he blushed and stammered while the other girls giggled) to track down Vlad King as he did his patrol around the school grounds and ask him for his permission for the six other girls to go with Izuku and Setsuna to the museum, since Setsuna realized late last night before going to bed that she only got her and Izuku permission to go when she talked to her teacher last week. Itsuka had volunteered to be the one in charge of getting Vlad's approval, and she was more than happy to walk straight up to her teacher, a confident smile on her face, and play him the video on her phone of Vlad King playing with his dog. After the realization that seven of his students knew that their tough-as-nails teacher absolutely babied his dog, the blood hero bitterly realized that he had no choice but to allow his students to go before Itsuka showed the rest of the class and utterly ruined his reputation with them.

With the promise that he would make sure Principal Nezu knew that the girls and Izuku were going out for the day, Vlad King was about to turn around and go back to the main building, and head to the teacher's office to get some coffee (and maybe slip some of Midnight's vodka in there, since he had no idea how he was supposed to get rid of Itsuka's evidence), when Izuku coughed behind him. The teacher, wondering what that was, looked around and saw that Izuku had looked a bit conflicted about something, as though he were about to call out to the teacher.

"Midoriya?" Vlad raised an eyebrow, turning back around while Izuku went a bit red when the other girls looked at him as well, all the attention on him now. "Something up?"

"Er - um -" Izuku gulped, glancing away - and then shook his head. "S-sorry, Vlad King-sensei. Just - got something caught in my throat. Nothing to worry about."

"I see," Vlad nodded, although an understanding look overcame his face. "I - well, I don't think I had a chance to come around yesterday and tell you, Midoriya, but I wanted to say thank you for being such a good sport about all this while we were fixing up your room. I gotta say, besides what happened in the first few weeks, I was very glad to have you in the house. If you ever need something, kid, don't hesitate to come to me for help, okay?"

Vlad had closed his eyes briefly, giving Izuku a comforting smile, so he couldn't possibly know that each girl had winced internally when he mentioned Izuku's moving out, and the boy had a hard time keeping his face straight for a moment as he tried to put on a brave smile and nod. "

T-thank you, sir. I'll - I'll keep that in mind."

"Good," Vlad nodded to him encouragingly, and then addressed his students. "Well, girls, you have a bus to catch - don't let me keep you."

With that, Vlad finally turned on his heel and walked back to the main campus, heading for his office. The girls, meanwhile, stole a small glance at Izuku, who glanced at the ground with a small frown on his face, before quickly shaking his head and turning back to face them, trying to give a confident smile that looked a tad bit wobbly.

"Er - Vlad King's right, we shouldn't - we shouldn't stand around, we gotta make sure we get to the bus on time." With that, he quickly turned around and started heading towards the parking lot, not looking back at the other girls as he led them towards the bus stop. Itsuka and Ibara shared a small glance between themselves, feeling a bit worried, but they quickly shook their heads, not wanting to make this situation anymore awkward than it already was, and the girls all quickly fell into line beside him as they headed for the bus that would take them downtown towards the museum. While walking over to their ride, they made light conversation, mostly about what they expected to see at the museum and wondering if they could also go look at other exhibits besides the dinosaur one that would be open until the end of the week. They did their best not to address anything too serious as they tried to get the awkwardness from a few moments ago away as everyone finally made it to the parking lot and boarded the bus, waving once to Momo, Kyouka and Shouto as they walked by the bus stop, and soon, the bus left UA for downtown Tokyo, where the museum with Setsuna's dinosaurs awaited.

Speaking of Setsuna, she tried not to roll her eyes too much as the girls very subtly manipulated the seating to make sure she sat beside Izuku on the bus, the boy giving her a small smile that she returned before she gave a pointed look at Ibara sitting on the other side of the aisle, who glanced away nervously while whistling a small tune quietly. Still, Setsuna knew that she shouldn't complain too much, smiling some as she leaned back in her seat, trying not to crinkle her nice blue dress too much, as she chatted with Itsuka and Yui sitting opposite of them as they went through the city. Everyone also pretended not to notice Itsuka glancing at Izuku occasionally, sporting a small blush on her cheeks before she shook her head and returned to the conversation.

Although ... Itsuka wasn't the only one glancing at Izuku and away again, just ... for other reasons. Setsuna felt her trademark smirk fall more than once when she glanced in between Izuku and Yui, and then tried to pretend that nothing was wrong when someone asked her why she was frowning. But ... the conversation with Vlad King just kept ringing in her mind. His casual remark about Izuku moving out just unnerved her for some reason, and she couldn't get it out of her head. She continued to glance between Izuku and the rest of the girls, feeling a small sadness beginning to bloom in her chest the longer she sat in silence.

Izuku was leaving in two days - two days that he needed to resolve everything with the girls, and probably have sex with Itsuka (because let's be honest: the orange-haired girl was totally going to bone him before he left). That meant ... today, she couldn't just take up all of his time, despite the girls pretty much threatening her to. They wanted her to have her own special time with him, since this was her idea, but ... but the thought of having Izuku to herself today, away from the girls, it made her uneasy. It made her feel selfish, like she was stealing him away from the other girls and taking up all of his time. So ...

... so that wasn't going to happen, Setsuna resolved with herself as she nodded. When they got to the museum, she wasn't going to let them all separate. They'd go around as a group, preferably with her in the back guiding them around, so that Izuku could have all the time in the world with everyone. Maybe tonight, if he wasn't all tired, she could maybe try to give him her birthday gift, but if not, then that was fine. Because she couldn't be selfish today.

She refused to be selfish when it came to him anymore.

Finally, after about twenty minutes of laughing and talking together, only having to change buses once so that they weren't driven to somewhere else, they arrived at their destination. Setsuna, trying to cover up her own little self-doubts, hopped off the bus, practically vibrating with excitement, and led the group down the street to the museum, pointing it out happily while the girls took a moment to 'ooh' and 'aah' out of sarcasm while the green haired girl flipped them off. Still, Setsuna couldn't help but smile widely up at the building as she led the way inside, throwing open the doors and stepping back so that everyone could giggle and walk in, Izuku looking around with interest as well as they entered the massive lobby with the sign pointing to the dinosaur exhibit, several people already entering the exhibit or else just standing around and speaking to the exhibit's patrons.

After quickly purchasing their tickets from the receptionist's desk, Setsuna tried to grin as widely as she could. Now was the time to get the group together and exploring the exhibit, before they had any crazy ideas.

"Okey dokey!" She ran over to the entrance of the exhibit, smiling widely at the sign. "I guess now that we're here, we can get started with the exhibit! I think we should start with -"

"Er - Setsuna?"

Setsuna faltered when she heard Izuku mutter something behind her, and turned around to ask him what was up - to see him standing alone. As in, the other six girls that they had come here with to hang out had vanished into thin air. Setsuna blinked hard, feeling her smirk slide off her face, and quickly whipped her head back and forth - but all she got was a brief glimpse of Ibara being led away by Pony to some other part of the museum before she vanished into the crowd. Setsuna sputtered, and quickly looked back around again for the other girls - but they were all gone.

"... son of a bitch," Setsuna muttered, her smirk being replaced by narrowed eyes and pursed lips as she realized that those girls had been one step ahead of her, "they ditched us."

"Um - is everything okay?"

The green-haired girl quickly looked back to Izuku, seeing him look a bit unsure. Oh, crap, he must have heard her swear just then. Realizing that her angry look might give him the wrong impression, she shook her head quickly, and tried to get her usual smirk back on - even though Izuku could tell there was a bit of strain there.

"N-nah, it's nothing, Parsley," She tried to act confident, reaching out and taking his hand, which made him blink in surprise. "C'mon, we got an exhibit to see."

And then right after that, she thought to herself, scowling slightly as she turned and pulled Izuku into the exhibit,I'm going to rip all six of them a new one.

Unbeknownst to Setsuna, once she and Izuku were inside the dinosaur exhibit and walking over to the nearest collection of dinosaur bones to read some info on a pamphlet, Itsuka and Yui giggled softly in amusement, having hidden successfully from their green haired roommates in the crowd. It had been the plan for all the girls this morning, put together before Setsuna and Izuku got up, that they would quickly separate before the green-haired girl noticed so that they could at the very least have the some of the time today for themselves to explore. They'd still meet up around lunch, and Itsuka might hang around with them afterwards, but for now, since this was Setsuna's date, she needed to have some time with Izuku to herself. It was also very lucky that they all noticed Setsuna's pouts on the bus, since it indicated that she was up to something as well, so the girls knew the moment the dinosaur loving girl's back was turned, they had to quickly make themselves scarce.

"So," Itsuka clapped her hands together, turning her small smirk to Yui, "shall we?"

"I guess," Yui shrugged, and together, the two girls walked towards the dinosaur exhibit, getting ready to book it in case Setsuna spotted them, "not really sure what to do, though - I've never visited a museum before."

"Really? That's kind of surprising. I'd have assumed your dad would've taken you once."

"Nah - not really my thing."

"Well," Itsuka chuckled, shaking her head slightly, "from what I know about museums - we look at old stuff, say 'oh that's cool', and move on to the next thing. Maybe read some description. And then rinse and repeat that for a few hours until we've seen everything."

"Huh," Yui raised an eyebrow, "sounds kinda boring."

"Yeah, kinda. But I bet that since it's with you, it's gonna be fun," her orange-haired friend chuckled, patting her shoulder and unknowingly sending a bolt of electricity through Yui, who suddenly felt energized from the touch and more than happy to look at old stuff, say 'oh that's cool' and then move on to the next thing with Itsuka.

She followed her friend to some pterodactyl skeleton, looking up at it while Itsuka read the inscription. While she did that, Yui stole a small glance at Itsuka, seeing her looking up at the dinosaur skeleton, and suddenly felt a sudden impulse. She glanced around, seeing Setsuna nowhere in sight, and then back to her friend, and cleared her throat.

"Er - Itsuka."

"Yeah? What's up?"

"I was ..." Yui glanced away again, feeling a bit of heat on her cheeks, but she still powered through her sudden, unexpected shyness, and muttered, "I was thinking ... that you looked really pretty today."

Itsuka blinked, looking away from the description and over at her friend as Yui continued to look away from her, and then glanced down at what she was wearing. She was wearing her nice white dress overtop her leather jacket, and her hair was done up in its usual ponytail - so what she would normally wear to her outings. Still, the compliment caught Itsuka a bit off guard, not used to such compliments from Yui - but she managed to recover quickly, giving her best friend a smile.

"Thanks, Yui," she said happily, a small blush on her own face, "you look really pretty too."

Yui hummed, and gave a small nod of affirmation - while on the inside she was pretty much jumping up and down in the air in celebration. Itsuka still laughed a bit as they moved away from the pterodactyl, glancing at her best friend in a teasing manner.

"You know, I'm a bit surprised," Itsuka giggled, glancing over at some other dinosaur skeleton some archeologist brought in, "usually you say something like 'I really like your boobs', or 'your butt looks awesome, Itsuka'. I'm not used to normal compliments."

"Your butt does look awesome," Yui shrugged, trying not to feel too giddy while Itsuka laughed again, "I checked it out on the bus today."

"Ah, there she is," Itsuka chortled. Yui chuckled as well, a small smile gracing her lips - before she glanced at Itsuka again, and suddenly remembered something else that had happened on the bus - how many times she had glanced at Izuku, blushed, and then looked away. She knew that this was going to probably sour the mood, but honestly, at this point, she felt the need to somewhat ask her best friend about what was going through her mind. So she let out a small sigh, and decided that delicately changing the subject to their mutual crush about it wasn't going to work much, so she just had to be blunt.

"Izuku was also looking at your butt."

That, of course, stopped Itsuka a bit in her tracks just as Yui predicted, the smile fading off her lips - but before the stoic girl could second-guess herself and apologize to her best friend, Itsuka only sighed, shook her head, and looked over at her best friend.

"You ... do you really think I should do something?" She asked quietly. "Like - no jokes, or sarcasm, or whatever. Do you really think I should have sex with him?"

"If I'm being honest?" Yui sighed, moving to sit down on a bench and glancing up to see Itsuka sitting down beside her, wanting to do this as unbiased as she could - she of course had her own stance in all this, but she wanted to appear to be at least impartial. "Yes. Not because I'm thinking in pervert mode - which is very hard not to, by the way - but I honestly think that you two need to do it before he goes."

"I ... I do get what you're saying - what you're all saying. It's just ..." Itsuka pursed her lips, glancing away at some other skeleton, "... I feel like ..."

"What's up?"

"... I'm kinda scared," she admitted, staring glumly at her feet. Yui, of course, blinked at that, feeling a bit confused.

"Scared ... of what? That he doesn't find you attractive?"

"What? Oh, god, no," Itsuka waved a hand, shaking her hand, "I'm not insecure enough to think that anymore. It's just ... this is going to be one of the last nights he has with us. And I'm going to just go up to him and ask 'hey, I know you're sad about leaving, so how about I make it up to you by letting you rail me'?"

"Yeah ...?" Yui raised an eyebrow, not really getting it. "So what's the problem?"

Itsuka stared ahead for a few seconds, and then let out a small sigh and turned to her, a small blush on her face.

"... he told me that - that he loved me."

Yui stared at her for a second, wondering why that was so - and then realization settled in.

"... oh."

"And ..." Itsuka grimaced, glancing away, "and I'm going to be totally honest - I love him too."

"... okay ...?" Yui leaned forward slightly. "So ... so what's the problem?"

"The problem is," Itsuka shook her head again, "it's not just because I'm - I'm scared of taking up his time tomorrow, or - or that I'm nervous about finally having sex with him. I - I do want to sleep with him. I really, really, do. I just - I know that if I sleep with him tomorrow night ... I'm probably going to lose whatever self-control I have, and just ..." she let out another small sigh, frowning to herself, "... ask him out."

Yui wrinkled her brow at that, blinking as Itsuka sank a bit lower, her face turning sadder and sadder.

"And ..." Itsuka continued to explain, "and if I do that ... I'm going to be taking him away from the rest of you guys. It's ... it's probably why none of us have just bit the bullet and asked him out already. If any one of us did that, we break the heart of everyone else in the house. And if I ask him out, and he says yes ... then I'm pretty much taking him away from you, and Set, and Kinoko and Reiko, and Pony and Ibara."

"... right," Yui nodded, glancing away, feeling a small, uncomfortable feeling in her stomach the longer she heard Itsuka explain herself. "You're right."

"I just ... I don't want to be the one who's responsible for everyone being miserable." Itsuka leaned forward, leaning on her elbow while she looked off with a sour look. "And I know that if I just say fuck it and ask him to have sex with me, he'll probably do it ... and then I'm not going to be able to stop myself from asking him to be my boyfriend."

"I ... see."

"So ... so what do I do?" Itsuka shook her head, her face looking sadder and sadder by the second. "I can't sleep with him, because I'll just say to hell with it and ask to be his girlfriend. And I'll be stealing him from everyone else, and - and I don't want to do that. So what do I -?"

"You don't necessarily have to."

Itsuka felt her words falter when Yui spoke up, feeling her brow wrinkle in confusion, and turned to look at her best friend - only to be greeted with one of the most shocking sights that Itsuka had ever seen, making her blink in surprise and feeling her jaw drop as her eyes widened, almost unable to comprehend what she was seeing as she sat back a bit and stare in shock.

Yui ... was blushing. And blushing hard. As in, her cheeks were going redder and redder the longer Itsuka looked at her, glancing away from Itsuka while biting her lip. She also noticed that Yui was subtly shaking, her hands clenched together tight enough that they were starting to look a little purple as she avoided her gaze.

"I - Yui?" Itsuka finally managed to find her words, leaning forward slightly, "Are you -?"

"Itsuka?" And of course, that made the orange-haired girl shut up immediately - Yui's usual stoic voice was even quieter than normal, sounding shaky.

"Can I tell you something right now? And - and ask that you not freak out?"

"W-what? Freak out?" Itsuka tried to shake herself out of her brief shock, and looked a bit concerned. "Of - of course I won't, Yui. I promise. What is it?"

"..."

"... Yui?"

"... I like you."

Itsuka stared at Yui for a few moments after she muttered that, glancing off to the side while the blush on her cheeks went even redder. Very, very slowly, Itsuka's confused look faded off her face as she registered what she said, and stared at her best friend as though she had never seen her before in her life. Finally, Itsuka spoke again.

"... Er - when you say that -"

"Romantically." Yui quickly made clear, and Itsuka felt her question freeze in her throat. "I like you romantically. Like - like I want to kiss you. Hug you. Touch your butt. That kind of like."

"... huh?" Itsuka squeaked out, feeling heat start to pool in her own cheeks now as Yui continued pointedly not looking at her, as though afraid of looking around and seeing her reaction. "I - but - you - but what about -? What about Izuku? I - I thought you -"

"I like him too," Yui bluntly said, zipping Itsuka right up. "I like both of you."

"Then -"

"Itsuka," Yui finally took a deep breath, and turned to look at her, feeling her face burn but trying hard to make sure she stared at her best friend as she said this, despite seeing Itsuka's face start to turn supernova. "I ... I know that you're probably not into me. I don't even know if you're bi like I am. It's just ... I realized that ... I like you both. Equally. And I ... I was going to wait to tell you this with Izuku because - because I wanted -"

"Y-Yui?"

"... I wanted to ask you both out."

"Ask - wait, what?"

"I wanted," Yui felt herself begin to shake even more, "to ask if Izuku would be my boyfriend, and if you would be my girlfriend. Like - like how Kinoko and Reiko did with him. I just - I think you're right - none of the girls have made an actual move on him yet because - because they're scared of making the other girls sad. That's - that's what I was scared of too. I'm scared that I just - that I would mess something up. That if I asked you out, you'd get weirded out, and - and say no. Or that Izuku loved you too much, and didn't want to involve me in this. And I thought ... that a part of it was because you hadn't slept with him yet. I didn't want to ruin everything by acting too early and pressuring you into something - so I wanted you to sleep with him so that you two could resolve all the - all the tension between you. And then ... and then ..."

"... you could ask us both out?" Itsuka guessed, finally looking away with her face still red.

"... yes." Yui nodded, also looking away. "I ... I understand what you're saying, about being scared of asking him out and taking him away from everyone. I had thought ... that maybe ... if we were to date him together ... that would make it a little bit better." She suddenly felt a strange stinging of tears in her eyes, and let out a shuddering sigh. "You can say no if you want to."

"H-huh?" Itsuka's eyes quickly returned to her, and felt her eyes widen when she saw the hint of tears in Yui's eyes.

"To - to me. You can say no. I know ... I know that it's out of the blue, Itsuka, me liking you. I've - I knew that it wasn't really possible, you seeing me that way. So ... if you want to ..."

"Y-Yui?"

"... Itsuka, you don't have to pretend," Yui sighed, standing up and startling Itsuka, "I know that you don't like me back. It's - it's okay. I'll just ... go find Ibara and Pony and -"

"Hold on!" Itsuka suddenly reached out, grabbing Yui's arm with both of her hands, and pulled her back down on the bench. It was rather easy, mostly due to Yui being much lighter and Itsuka being much stronger, but as soon as Yui sat back down, she tried to get back up, feeling her tears start to leak out of her eyes. Before she could try again, however, Itsuka moved her hands quickly, putting them on her shoulders and making her best friend turn to her.

"Yui," Itsuka stared into her eyes, trying to sound as certain as she could, "I'm not turning you down. I'm not saying no. Can you - can you please just listen to me for a second?"

While Yui still looked like she wanted to escape, she let out a shaking sigh and nodded, and stopped resisting so Itsuka could release her shoulders somewhat, although she didn't move them away and instead settled them to rest gently on Yui's biceps, and let out a small sigh.

"Yui ..." Itsuka bit her lip, and glanced away, "I ... I'm sorry that I didn't notice your feelings before. Now that ... now that I'm thinking about it, you have been looking at me a lot lately, haven't you?"

"... yeah."

"I ..." Itsuka sighed, and then looked back up at Yui, "... you're right, Yui. I ... I have a lot I still need to address with Izuku. And now ..." she couldn't help but chuckle, "... now I got a lot I have to address with you, huh?"

"I ..."

"I'm not rejecting you," she repeated, sounding absolutely sure as she leaned forward slightly, "you and I have been through too much for me to just push you away now. I'm ... I'm not sure if I'm ... you know ... bisexual. There's ... there's a lot we need to address, and ... a lot that I need to think about, but ... if I'm being honest ..." Itsuka let out another sigh, and then smiled gently at her, "... dating you and Izuku at the same time ... it sounds ... nice, doesn't it?"

"I ..." Yui faltered off a bit, as though thinking, and then glanced back up at Itsuka, expecting some kind of trick or her looking like she was just yanking her chain - but from the sincere look in Itsuka's eyes, she felt that small little fear evaporate, and she nodded.

"It ... does sound nice."

"Yeah," Itsuka smiled warmly, "so ... can I ask that you wait until I address Izuku? And then ... and then I'll have my answer for you. I promise."

"... okay, Itsuka," Yui nodded again, glancing away, "okay. That's - that's all I ask. That you - that you think about it."

"Okay. Now come on," Itsuka gestured with her head, and stood up from the bench, tugging on Yui's hand, "we still have an exhibit to explore."

"I ... yeah."

With that, Yui and Itsuka got up, with a lot still on both of their minds, and made their way back into the dinosaur exhibit, keeping a lookout in case Setsuna suddenly came out of nowhere with Izuku.

Yui didn't point out that Itsuka didn't let go of her hand at all as they walked away from the bench and towards another exhibit.

Honestly, Itsuka probably wouldn't have, even if it was pointed out.

---

Uh oh.

That was one of the thoughts that kept coming to Izuku's mind as he walked with Setsuna around the exhibit, taking a look at the various bones and fossils that had been brought to the museum. But he couldn't really pay attention to that, not with Setsuna continuing to scowl slightly, looking left and right as though looking for someone, and glanced over at the exhibits once every so often. That, of course, only made Izuku worry slightly more the longer they walked around the museum.

She … was angry about something. That much was super obvious. But why? Was it because the other girls were nowhere in sight? He could've sworn that he saw Itsuka and Yui earlier when Setsuna wasn't looking (they had been holding hands, to his surprise, but he hadn't really thought much of it; rather, he had thought they looked really cute), and Ibara and Pony had almost been spotted by Setsuna until they ducked back into the crowds - but why would Setsuna be looking for them? And why would they be hiding from her anyway? What was going on? Should he just ask her? Should he should just bite the bullet and -

"Parsley, you're muttering."

Izuku yelped, wheeling around at Setsuna as she gave him a raised eyebrow, although there wasn't much annoyance on her face as she sighed, glancing away.

"Sorry," she muttered, "I'm … kinda ruining this, aren't I?"

"H-huh? N-no, you're not! It's just -"

"Nah, I am," She shook her head, pursing her lips. "We're supposed to be out on our date, and I'm spending it looking around for our friends and wanting to tear their hair out. It's stupid."

"... er … can I ask …" Izuku gulped, feeling a bit more nervous, "... why do you want to tear their hair out?"

Setsuna snorted a bit at that, unable to suppress a smirk at his little fear that she wanted to maim their roommates, "I don't actually want to tear their hair out, Parsley, just an expression. It's just becausssse ..."

Izuku waited for her explanation as they rounded another corner, his eyes trailing to the T-rex skeleton proudly displayed in the center of the exhibit - but he was suddenly aware that her words had trailed off into silence. He glanced at her, wondering why she wasn't saying anything, and blinked when he saw that she had unexpectedly frozen as though she had been petrified, staring straight ahead with her jaw slowly dropping. He tried to follow her eyesight, only having time to get a glimpse of a large, green foot - before Setsuna suddenly grabbed Izuku's arm tightly, and ripped him back around the corner, making him yelp from the sudden violence. Before he could ask her what was up, she quickly grabbed his arm, and moved her other hand to cover her mouth, eyes still wide in shock.

"Er - Setsuna? What -"

"Godzillo."

"Huh?" Izuku blinked, leaning forward slightly - her hand covering her mouth made that hard to hear. "What was -?"

"Parsley, it's Godzillo!" She quickly looked around the corner again, and Izuku, wrinkling his forehead, moved around her to peak around the corner as well. Sure enough, standing at the end of the hall and looking at a t-rex skeleton, with a dragon-like appearance, long tailed, and clawed paws, was the monster hero Godzillo, staring at one of the exhibits with interest. Of course, Izuku couldn't really marvel much at him, because Setsuna had grabbed his upper arm in a vice-like grip, and he glanced around to see her practically vibrating with excitement, eyes wide and a large grin on her face.

"Parsley, he's my favorite hero! The monster hero, Godzillo! Why - why would he be here?! Isn't he located in America?"

"Well, he's actually from Japan," Izuku explained, feeling a bit proud of his hero knowledge coming in handy for once as he looked at Godzillo comparing his height to the T-rex skeleton, "but he did relocate to America to star in some of their movies. He's actually -"

"Parsleeeeeey!" Setsuna squealed, apparently not really able to form an actual response to whatever he said while she shook him and bounced up and down. He turned to look at her again, seeing her pretty much vibrating with childhood excitement as she stared at her favorite pro hero, and couldn't help but smile a little bit. He didn't really think about it, but he was glad to see that her scowl and sour mood was gone, seeing it replaced with complete and utter happiness as she released his arm (probably having bruised it a little, he chuckled) to hold both of her hands to her mouth, hiding her big grin.

He glanced back at the pro hero again, seeing him continuing to read the information about the skeleton, and then back to the green haired girl, as he felt a sudden inspiration and pulled out his notebook, tearing out a page and offering it to his green haired roommate.

"Do you want to get his autograph?"

"Huh?" That seemed to bring Setsuna back from her little fangirl high, quickly glancing over at Izuku and the notebook in his hand. Realizing what he just asked, Setsuna blinked, and then quickly shook her head. "O-oh, no, Parsley, no way. I can't just - go up to him and ask!"

"I mean - er, why not?"

"Because - because it's Godzillo, Parsley! I just - I can't."

Izuku continued to look at the green haired girl, seeing her blush and look away in embarrassment - and, with sudden assertiveness, reached down and grabbed her hand in his.

"Er - Pars -?"

Without another word, Izuku moved from around the corner, taking a deep breath for encouragement, and began pulling Setsuna towards Godzillo, holding both his notebook and the torn out piece of paper in one hand as he strolled towards the pro hero. The moment the green-haired girl realized what he was doing, her eyes widened again, and quickly shook her head, trying to pull back and whispering her protests the closer they got to him.

"N-no, Parsley, wait, wait, no, I can't -!"

"Excuse me?" Izuku spoke directly up to the pro hero, trying to overcome his small bout of shyness to address Godzillo properly. The kaiju blinked, and slowly turned to look down at his feet, seeing Izuku standing there with his notebook and the piece of paper, while Setsuna froze up and stopped protesting, going stock still in front of her hero as though the monster hero's gaze had paralyzed her. "My - my friend and I were wondering if we could have your autograph?"

Godzillo let out a noise of affirmation, giving a rather sinister grin but still reaching into his pocket to pull out a normal sized pencil, looking oddly silly in the kaiju's giant fingers - he pretty much had to hold it between his two fingertips. He reached down and took the piece of paper from Izuku, and wrote his signature on the paper, being sure to stylize it with his personal handwriting, and then bent down to give it to Setsuna. The girl had been stunned for a few moments, and then gingerly reached out to take the piece of paper from the pro hero as though it were made of glass, turning it over to stare at his signature as Godzillo turned to Izuku and signed his notebook. Izuku was sure to thank Godzillo, and Setsuna quickly did as well, bowing low, and the pro hero gave them both another sinister smile as he turned around and walked to another exhibit, careful not to hit anyone with his giant tail.

Once he was gone, Setsuna's gaze returned to the piece of paper, staring at it as though she could hardly believe it, while Izuku chuckled and put his notebook back into his pocket.

"So, um - are you happy that we got you his autograph?"

"..."

"... um, Setsuna? Are you -"

"Parsley," Setsuna finally spoke up, her voice hushed, "don't take this the wrong way, but I'm about five seconds from dragging you to a broom closet and fucking your brains out."

"Wh -?!" Izuku balked, going blood red when she said that, but before he could flail or be embarrassed, Setsuna felt a large grin overcome her face, carefully folding the paper into her pocket, and grabbed Izuku's hand, looking happier than she had all afternoon.

"Come on!" She pulled him away, never minding Izuku's crimson face as she pretty much jogged towards the cafeteria. "I'm starving! Let's split something!"

About twenty minutes later, they both sighed as they sat down in the cafeteria, Setsuna taking out the piece of paper to beam at again while Izuku bit into the sandwich that they had bought and were sharing. Izuku couldn't help but smile as she was obviously still fangirling over the piece of paper, letting out a soft giggle as she traced the signature with her finger.

"So, um …" Izuku rubbed his hands together, "... do you regret me asking Godzillo for his autograph yet?"

"Oh, trust me, I still have to kick your ass for that," Setsuna giggled, smirking when Izuku blanched, seeing him looking utter flabbergasted at that. "Boy, you dragged me over to meet my freaking hero when I wasn't ready. That at the very least deserves a butt kicking."

When Izuku pouted, though, Setsuna's smirk widened.

"Although since you did get me the autograph, I might be inclined to kiss it better."

"Kiss my -?!"

Setsuna giggled again as Izuku realized she was joking, and sagged against the table, smiling slightly. "You're going to be the death of me," he joked, "you and Komori."

"Why do you still call her that, by the way?" Setsuna raised her eyebrow, folding the piece of paper carefully again and putting it back in her purse as she leaned forward on the table. "Come to think of it, you still don't call Ibara, Kinoko or Reiko by their first names. Why not?"

"Er - well -" Izuku cleared his throat, going slightly redder, "- it's just - I - I didn't get permission."

"... permission."

"Y-yeah."

"Parsley," Setsuna chuckled, shaking her head slightly while smiling at him, "you don't need our permission to call us by our first names. Just ... do it. Literally next time you see Ibara, just call her by her first name. I'll bet you my dino-crackers she'll be cool with it."

"Er -"

Setsuna giggled at his face going red again, and picked up her section of the sandwich to start eating. While she munched on her lunch, Izuku managed to get the blush to die down on his face again, and couldn't help but smile a bit at her silliness. She was looking much happier than she did about twenty minutes ago ... which did admittedly make him feel a bit concerned, feeling the smile fall off his face as he watched her eat.

"Er - hey, Setsuna?"

"Mm?"

"Why were you angry before?"

Setsuna blinked, lowering her lunch to swallow her food, and gave him a confused look.

"Angry? What about - oh." She suddenly understood, realization falling over her face. "When I was ... yeah."

"Er - yeah. You ... mentioned the girls. Did they do something wrong?"

"No. Well, kind of, but - no, no they didn't," She sighed, and frowned a bit while glancing away, putting her half of the sandwich back on the tray. "It's just ..."

"Yeah?"

"... Parsley," she muttered, "we only have two more days together before you move out."

Izuku stared at her for a moment, and then felt his own face fall. "... oh."

"Yeah, and ... and this is one of those two days. The only two days everyone has left with you, and ... and they just ditched us right at the start." She let out another sigh, and leaned forward on the table. "I don't know about you, Parsley, but I know that our roommates aren't exactly slick. I know what they're doing - they're considering this my day, and they want me to have some alone time with you, but ... but I feel like if I'm taking up all your time with you, it's taking away time for them. I don't wanna ..." she let out a small breath, "... I don't wanna be selfish anymore, when it comes to you."

Izuku studied her carefully for a few seconds, seeing her looking downcast, and then let out a small sigh as he reached and gently took her hand in his. She flinched slightly when his fingers touched hers, but she still lifted the hand up slightly so that they could intertwine their fingers. It was a strange, intimate act, but one that made her heart thump a bit happily as the two greenhaired teens looked each other in the eye, ignoring Izuku's big blush and Setsuna's much more subtle one.

"Setsuna ..." Izuku sighed, and then shook his head, "I ... I think that I understand what you're saying. That you ... feel selfish for taking up all my time today."

"... yeah." She nodded, glancing back down at the table, feeling guilt start to rise in her stomach. Izuku watched her carefully, seeing how sad she looked, and let out a small sigh.

"But ..." Her gaze flickered back up to his, seeing him smiling gently at her. "I disagree."

"What?"

"I don't think you're being selfish by spending time with me alone, Setsuna."

"I ... Parsley, come on, you can't -"

"It's true," He moved his other hand to hold overtop hers, rubbing his thumb against the back of her hand. "I know why you're upset, but ... but the other girls are right. This is your day. This was your favor, and ... and you wanted to spend time with me. So ... so the girls honoring that, I'm not angry at them, and neither should you."

"Still ..."

"Setsuna, I'm ... I'm still going to be around," Izuku sighed, glancing away, "not - not as frequently, of course, but ... but I still want to be in your lives. So - so I want to say that - that as guilty as you might feel about - about taking up my time, I don't want you to. I'm not leaving you, Setsuna, and I'm not leaving them. So for today, it's okay to ... I guess to put it in your terms ... it's okay to be selfish."

Setsuna's face remained neutral for a moment, while Izuku waited for her answer - and then she let out a small laugh, shaking her head.

"Well, look at you, Mr. Confident," she giggled reluctantly, giving him a softer smile than her usual smirk, "I'm surprised you didn't burst into flames when you said all that."

"Um - I'm trying really hard," Izuku confessed, smiling and trying to match her wit tit for tat, "please don't make fun of me right now, I might actually catch on fire."

"Wow, and so witty, too! Who are you, and what have you done with Parsley?!"

"Er - I killed him and fed him to a dinosaur?"

Setsuna raised an eyebrow at that one, while the blush Izuku had been fighting down finally burst onto his cheeks, groaning a little bit. "That was ... a bad joke, wasn't it?"

"A tad bit," She giggled, but shook her head, "but I believe you've made your point. Alright, Parsley ... as much as it pains me to say it, and - I still don't really like it, to be honest - but I guess ... I guess I can be a little selfish today. Just for you."

"Okay," Izuku smiled again, glancing back up and staring into Setsuna's beautiful, dark green eyes as she gave him a warm, radiant smile. He felt the small blush on his cheeks continue to burn as he suddenly felt bashful, glancing away and out the window, which Setsuna had her back to -

- and across the city, saw a giant monster roaring into the sky.

Izuku blinked slowly, feeling the blush on his cheeks fade as he stared at the giant, wrinkling his brow. Is that ...

And lo and behold, before Izuku could even complete that thought, the monster threw its arm back and launched a punch at a building. Izuku felt his eyes widen as he realized that was a villain - a very big, dangerous villain. A villain that was this far downtown? From what he knew of the area after looking it up last night, the only heroes that would be around to handle this villain would be Death Arms and the Fly - which meant that their quirks wouldn't be much use against that villain. And ... it would take a while for a hero like Mt. Lady to arrive to stop him!

That meant ... that until the other pro heroes got there ...

"Er - Parsley?" Izuku's attention was immediately drawn back to Setsuna, seeing her smile fade away as she stared at him in confusion. "You good?"

"H-huh?"

"Not paying attention, huh? And I gave you such a good compliment too, I thought it up in like - three seconds." she snorted. She turned to look out the window as well, as Izuku's eyes went wider. "Is everything -"

"Y-yes!"

Setsuna jumped slightly, and turned back to see Izuku giving her a wide, big grin as he abruptly stood up. "E-everything's good. I just - I realized - I - I have to go to - to the bathroom."

"Oh. Er, okay. Take your time," Setsuna shrugged, while Izuku glanced back out the window and saw the villain throwing something around, feeling his face go pale. Giving her a shaky smile, he quickly jogged towards the exit of the cafeteria, trying to give her the impression he was just hurrying to the men's restroom - and once he was out of sight, immediately sprinted straight down the hall towards the open doors, getting ready to Float over and clear that up as quickly as he could so he could get back to his museum date. Because if even one of the girls noticed that he was gone and saw a villain being defeated in the background, they'd immediately connect the dots, realize he left, and kill him when he got back!

Back at the cafeteria, Setsuna let out a small sigh as she leaned forward on her table, feeling her smile slide off her face now that she was alone. As confident as Izuku's words made her feel ... she still felt a small twinge of guilt in her. She was ... well, she was taking up a lot of his time, and if Itsuka made her decision by tomorrow ... that wasn't a lot of time for the rest of the girls to spend more time with him. If they even had that time. And besides ...

Letting out a little sigh, she reached into her pocket, and from within pulled out Izuku's gift for his birthday, the little box fitting perfectly in the palm of her hand as she stared at it. Yesterday ... after he had told them that he was moving out ... she looked back on her reaction in shame. She heard the guy she liked was moving out, and what was the first thing she thought to do? Run up to her room, close the door tight, and sit at her desk and stare at the gift she would've given to him probably right now if they were on their normal date. She'd made such a big show of ditching Ibara and Pony at the mall to go purchase this, mostly to avoid the raised eyebrows or bulging eyes at the price, but ... now, she was going to have to figure out another time to give this to him. Maybe ... maybe tonight? If the girls didn't need him for anything, and Itsuka wasn't -

"Set?"

The green haired girl jumped slightly, realizing that she had been staring off into space and quickly looked up, stuffing the box quickly back into her pocket. Speaking of the devil, standing above her was Itsuka accompanied by Yui, holding their own trays of food as they looked down curiously at her. If they had seen the box, they didn't ask about it, at least, but she still tried not to look like she had been caught with some super weapon as she flashed the two girls a weak grin, bringing her hand up to flash them the peace sign.

"Y-yo!"

"Hey," Itsuka raised her eyebrow, glancing around. "Where's Izuku?"

"O-oh, just - he went to the bathroom."

"Oh good," Yui nodded, sitting down in his vacated spot while Itsuka sat beside Setsuna, giving her a small smile, "we thought you ditched him for a minute. And we all know what would happen if you ditched -"

She was about to make fun of Setsuna for what she would've done if she had abandoned Izuku, probably with a few sarcastic threats of death or letting Ibara hang her, before her eyes went to the window, and she stopped talking, blinking. Itsuka and Setsuna stared in confusion for a few seconds, and followed her gaze as they turned around in their own seats to see the villain roaring at the sky again. At once, all three girls' eyes went wide as Setsuna stood up from her seat, wrinkling her brow.

"Wait, is that a villain?!" Itsuka also stood up, staring at the villain with a look of shock.

"I think so," Setsuna wrinkled her brow. "What do we do? I don't think our quirks could -"

What Setsuna thought, however, would remain a mystery, because at that moment, a small dot flew straight up to the villain, and without warning, its head snapped straight back, staggering as though he had been punched. It stumbled backwards for a moment, as though trying to regain its footing, until it began toppling backwards - but then, black lines of energy wrapped around it, and gently helped it to the ground, to prevent the villain from hitting the city hard and causing an earthquake.

For a moment, Itsuka, Setsuna and Yui stared out the window, blinking slowly as they realized what they had just saw - and then began to feel their eyebrows start to twitch in annoyance.

"... was that ...?"

"Yeah," Itsuka crossed her arms, glaring, "yeah, that was."

"... that boy is dead."

"Yes. Yes, he is."

---

Twenty minutes was all it took for Izuku to get back from where the villain had been arrested to the museum. He let out a small sigh of relief that the arriving heroes, Death Arms and the Fly, had been satisfied by the card he flashed them from the exam he just took last week, and just gave him a warning to try to work on actual shifts and not when he was dressed as a civilian and not in his hero costume, as it would give other heroes the impression he was just some wannabe vigilante.

It was very thankful, as well, that the villain hadn't been very tough - a 40% punch from One for All was all it took to knock him out, and then wrapping him up in Black Whip to slow his fall to prevent any shaking. And now, Izuku smiled as he jumped over another building and saw the museum just ahead of him, he just needed to get back to Setsuna, pretend he had problems in the bathroom (it would be embarrassing, but much more tolerable than being interrogated on where he went) and continue their date.

He let out a small sigh as he landed gently in the parking lot, shaking his hand a little bit since it was a bit stiff after using it to punch the villain, and glanced up -

- to see Itsuka, Setsuna, Yui, Ibara, Pony, Reiko and Kinoko sitting on the benches outside the museum, giving him judgmental glares, crossing their arms and raising skeptical eyebrows.

Oh, Izuku froze up, staring up at them as a mixture of shock and terror filled him as he realized he had just been caught, oh, fuck.

"Hey, Parsley," Setsuna snarked, pointing behind her shoulder into the building, "the bathroom was actually down that hall, not somewhere out in the city."

"Enugh."

Itsuka could only let out a small, tired sigh, shaking her head slightly as she stood up from the bench and walked over to him, raising her hand. "Alright - let me see your hand."

"Um -"

"Just checking to make sure you didn't break anything."

Izuku winced again, but still did as he was told and raised his left hand for inspection. She took it in both of her hands and leaned forward, checking it for any injuries, as Ibara joined them and also took a look at the unscarred hand. While they examined it, the other girls gathered around, shooting Izuku some snarky looks that he didn't like but felt like he didn't have the moral superiority to defend himself from.

"So," Reiko raised her eyebrows again as she leaned on one leg, "a giant villain's all it takes for you to abandon your date with Setsuna?"

"Um -"

"I feel like we need to punish you," Kinoko joked, glancing around at the girls, "I know we all talk about letting Ibara whip you, but for this, I feel like you need a good spanking."

"I volunteer," Yui immediately raised her hand, making the other girls roll their eyes.

"Um - in my defense -"

"Oh, this ought to be good," Itsuka snarked, shaking her head while unable to suppress a small smirk.

"- you guys never mentioned I couldn't fight villains."

"While ... that is true," Ibara gave that to him, but still gave him a concerned look, "that's not exactly the issue we have with this, Midoriya."

"Huh?"

"What she means," Reiko explained, "is that we don't appreciate you disappearing on us. Like - consider it like this: imagine if we were all hanging out, you suddenly go to the bathroom, disappear for an hour, and then come back all bloody and bruised. Do you think that we wouldn't be worried?"

Izuku blinked, and then realization settled in for him as the other girls glanced amongst each other and nodded softly, and he felt a bit of shame well up in his stomach.

"I - oh."

"You did wrap up that particular villain very quickly, Midoriya," Ibara conceded, but still reached out and rubbed her thumb against his cheek, removing a bit of black stuff that had stuck to it, "but if you disappeared for an hour and didn't answer any of our calls, we would be extremely worried - or worse, we'd go out looking for you, or we might just call the police to look for you. So please, don't do this again."

"I -"

"Or at least," Itsuka shook her head, finally letting go of his hand while giving him a concerned look, "tell us what's going on, or that you saw a villain, and we'll come with you. I don't know if you've noticed, but we are all trained heroes. And you can't say 'oh, but it's too dangerous', because it is kind of our job to go take care of villains."

"... I understand," Izuku nodded, looking downcast, "sorry, guys. Really."

The girls shared another look between them, and shook their heads, unable to stop soft smiles from reaching their lips, and Setsuna patted his hair.

"Well," she chuckled, "Since we're all done here, so why don't we hit up an arcade? But maybe lunch first. I don't think sharing a sandwich is enough."

"Er - huh?" Izuku blinked, glancing up and around at everyone. "But - wait, we're done here? I thought we were supposed to be here all day?"

Both Reiko and Kinoko winced, and Ibara shook her head, looking away while looking absolutely disappointed.

"Yeaaaah ... about that," Kinoko chuckled weakly.

"We were ... kind of kicked out," Reiko admitted, while Ibara huffed, "we were caught making out in a closet."

"Absolutely scandalous."

"You two really need to learn how to control your libidos."

"Not sure what you said, Pony, but I know it was sarcasm! You give me lip again, I'll send you to your shroom!"

Thankfully, no one was sent to their hypothetical shroom, other than Reiko rolling her eyes at the awful pun, so with Setsuna declaring their outing a success and Izuku's favor resolved, the girls and Izuku left the museum, catching the bus and heading a bit further down the road towards Ryōgoku Station, where they decided to stop for some lunch. Once they were there, getting their food and enjoying having their lunches served to them for once, Ibara and Pony relayed their own stories about going around the museum, Ibara speaking high praise for the various paintings and exhibits they saw while Pony watched her with a soft smile on her face, and the other girls laughed when Izuku explained that they ran into Godzillo and turned Setsuna into a fangirl, prompting her to punch him in the shoulder. Once their lunch was finished up and paid for (Izuku tried to pay for them all, only for Ibara to wrap her vines around his mouth and ask for seven separate cheques), Itsuka gave Vlad King a call to confirm that they were still out, and then headed back to the bus to head for an arcade.

Once they arrived to an arcade that wasn't too busy, they spent the entire afternoon playing around, Izuku paling as they amassed a huge amount of tickets between the eight of them. Each girl had fun with their own separate games - Setsuna was oddly lucky with blackjack, managing to score 21 twice in a roll and pump her fists into the air as the tickets spilled from the machine; Itsuka went to the test of strength, picked up the bat, and, only using her natural strength instead of using her quirk, smashed the bat against the weight and watched as it went straight to the top, which of course left Izuku very shaken and blushing up a storm. At the end of the day, only her and Izuku could get it up there, while Kinoko was surprisingly the second closet. After that, Pony and Izuku played a few shooting games, the boy wincing every time he got hit and Pony being a master; Kinoko and Reiko shot some basketballs into the hoop, one bouncing off and smacking Reiko straight in the forehead and sending her flopping onto the ground, her forehead going red from where the ball hit her; Yui lucked out with the coin dropping games and amassed around 16,000 tickets (the workers had to come over and make sure that she wasn't cheating); and Ibara and Izuku got into a surprisingly heated game of air hockey, the vine girl almost inhuman in her attempts to get the puck past Izuku and only returning to her normal self when she smacked the puck hard and accidentally hit Izuku in the finger ("Oh, my goodness! Midoriya, I'm so sorry!")

At the end of the day, all together, they had gathered around 200,000 tickets, much to Izuku's shock, and Itsuka had been intimidating enough that the workers had to give them the good prizes. They walked away with various stuffed animals and the such, the girls giggling and laughing from the fun they all had - unfortunately, one glance at the sun setting in the distance indicated it was time for them to head back home, and they boarded the bus to head back to UA, laughing and talking amongst themselves as they finally leaned back and relaxed after their long day of fun. Izuku sat between Yui and Itsuka, both girls laughing and occasionally catching each other's eye - Yui would look briefly uncertain, but Itsuka would give her a comforting look that seemed to calm the stoic girl, and they would always glance away with small, awkward smiles on their faces.

Finally, they had all made it back to UA, walking back to their house from the bus stop and sighing in relief as they entered. Once Izuku closed the door behind him, Pony staggered over to the collapse and flopped down onto it, cuddling with her giant snake that she won in the arcade.

"I'mma play video games," she grumbled into its fur, "and then I'mma pass out."

"That ... sounds like a plan," Ibara sighed, heading for the stairs, "I'm also going to be in my room for a bit."

"Same," Yui nodded, exchanging one more awkward glance with Itsuka before she headed back upstairs.

"I'm going to go to my room for a bit too," Itsuka yawned, moving to follow the girls up the stairs, and subtly stole one look back at Izuku, feeling herself go a bit red but managing to shake herself briefly out of it.

Izuku was about to follow them up to his own room, mostly so he could add Godzillo's own autograph to his little collection, but before he could even put a foot on the first step, Setsuna cleared her throat behind him. Feeling a bit startled, he quickly looked around, seeing her grinning at him a bit awkwardly.

"Actually Parsley," she coughed a bit, "you mind hanging in my room for a little bit?"

"Y-you're room?" Izuku blinked, and then nodded. "Oh, y-yeah, of course."

"Awesome!"

With that, Setsuna quickly made her way up the stairs, taking them two at a time, and Izuku blinked briefly in surprise before he shook himself out of it and quickly followed her to teh second floor. Soon, Setsuna opened her door and stepped back, letting him walk in first and following him in. As she shut the door, Izuku glanced around a little bit, seeing her familiar dinosaur collection on her dresser, the green curtains with the t-rex print, and the large bed with her messy velociraptor bedsheet. He couldn't help but smile a bit at her stuff as he turned to look at her, seeing her looking around after closing the door.

"It's ... been a while since I've been in here. I forgot about how much stuff you have."

"Y-yeah," Setsuna giggled a bit, raising a hand to scratch her neck awkwardly. This awkwardness finally got picked up on by Izuku, who blinked and wrinkled his brow in concern.

"Er - Setsuna, are you okay?"

"O-oh yeah, Parsley, I'm good. It's just - I'm, uh ..." she trailed off for a moment, as though unsure what exactly to say, before she let out a small laugh, "Sorry, Parsley, I'm ... I kinda had a plan, but ..."

"Um - a plan for ... what, exactly?"

"I ..." She shook her head briefly, before sighing, "... okay. I'm - I guess I'm just going to wing this. Do you mind, um ... do you mind hearing me out about something? Please?"

"I - um, okay," Izuku nodded, going a bit red for reasons he didn't really quite understand. She nodded as well, and gestured for him to sit in her desk chair, and he gratefully sat down with a small sigh of relief (turns out hanging out with eight girls all day and fighting a villain was a bit exhausting), and pushed himself to roll in front of the bed as she sat on the edge of it, letting out a small sigh and feeling a small twinge of redness on her cheeks.

"Okay …" Setsuna sighed, and glanced away, "just … remember ... I'm pretty much winging this, so ... don't judge me too much, okay?"

"Uh … okay."

"Alright," Setsuna settled back on her bed, and glanced away from him. Izuku waited for her to find her words, taking a moment to lean back in her chair and stretch out one of his legs, wincing as he felt his knee pop. After a few more seconds, Setsuna let out a small sigh, and glanced back at his face, going a bit redder.

"Okay … so … Parsley. I … this is about you moving out."

"... oh." Izuku's face fell at that.

"Yeah. I just … yesterday, I didn't like how I reacted. You told us you were leaving and my first thought was to run away. I'm sorry about that."

"O-oh, no, it's okay! I thought -"

"No, Parsley," Setsuna leaned forward, interrupting him, "I should've … I should've comforted you. Running away - it wasn't cool of me. But when I was up in my room, I just … I had a bit of time to think. About … about our own time in the house. And not - not just you and all the girls - I mean you and me. And … and those first few weeks."

Her own face fell at that, and she looked away, the guilt building in her eyes obvious even to him, "I … I treated you like crap, and I didn't even consider you didn't like it until you blew up. That … I know you guys like to say it wasn't entirely my fault, but I know it was. And I accept that. I was being selfish, and didn't consider your feelings. I'm never going to not be sorry for that."

"Setsuna …"

"And then that night … where I took you out to the field so you could blame me for everything. I yelled and screamed and hit you, but you never gave in and told me that you hated me. You … you just took me in your arms and comforted me. If … if you hadn't done that, I might still be in here, not talking to any of you and ... hating myself." Setsuna felt her eyes start to mist, returning her gaze to him and trying not to turn away again, even though he could plainly see the tears in her eyes, "You … you helped get my head out of my ass. And … and I think that night, that's when I realized it."

"Realized …" Izuku trailed off, feeling his heart beating in his chest, "what, exactly?"

Setsuna let out another small sigh, closing her eyes briefly before opening them back up, and reached into her pocket. Izuku watched as she pulled out a small box, green in color, and held it out for him. Izuku blinked only once, but, realizing that she was giving it to him, reached out and took it from her. He glanced at the small tag on the side, and read "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!".

Realizing what this was, Izuku gulped, but slowly unclasped the small lock on the side of the box, and opened it up ... and felt his eyes widen at what was inside.

It was … a necklace. It was on a dark string, tied together in a knot and long enough to wrap around his neck. He slowly took it in between his fingers and lifted it up out of the small box, and stared at the emerald heart on the end of it, looking like it was made of diamond, and brought it closer to his eyes so he could look properly at it. Staring at it for a few seconds, Izuku's gaze returned to Setsuna, seeing her blushing redder than he had ever seen her, and still having those tears in her eyes as he held the emerald heart in his palm.

"S-Setsuna? I'm … I'm sorry, is this …?"

"... it's my heart, Parsley," Setsuna muttered, finally glancing away while raising her hand to rub at her teary eyes. "I'm ... I'm giving you my heart."

Izuku continued to stare at it for a few moments, feeling his breathing start to come out in short breaths, as he realized she had just subtly confessed her feelings for him - and then let out a small chuckle. Setsuna blinked at that, and turned to see him lift the string over his neck, and once it was wrapped around his neck, took the emerald heart in his palm again and stared at it, smiling gently at it.

"I … I think I understand, Setsuna," he said quietly, "and … and I …"

For a moment he was unsure what to say - he certainly wasn't rejecting her feelings, as he felt his heart hammering in her chest just from being in her presence, but it was a bit more complicated when they both took the other girls into question … but Setsuna reached out, and covered the emerald heart as she gently held his hand. He glanced up at her, and saw her smiling through her blush and tears.

"I know what you're saying, Parsley," she nodded, "and … and thank you."

"Er - shouldn't I thank you?"

"How about we thank each other?"

Both green haired teenagers laughed at that, Izuku glancing down at the their conjoined hands and then back up at her with a smile.

"Seriously, though," he said softly, "thank you."

They were comfortable just staring into each other's eyes for a bit longer, small blushes on their cheeks, before Setsuna let out a small chuckle and stood up, wiping at her eyes to get rid of the tears.

"Well," she chortled, "that was only slightly nerve-wracking, but I'm glad we got through that."

"Y-yeah," Izuku also stood up, moving the chair back to the desk. As he did so, he felt a small frown come to his lips, and then glanced behind him.

"Hey ... Setsuna."

"Yeah?"

"You … don't think that you're selfish anymore, do you?"

Setsuna paused at that, glancing around at him again, and shrugged.

"I mean …" She said evenly, "I do come across like that sometimes, right?"

"Er - I don't think so -"

"Parsley," Setsuna shook her head, "come on. I can be pretty selfish. Not just from the sex thing, like - other times."

"What - like when?"

"Like - er - today."

Izuku pouted at that. "We talked about that, though. You weren't being selfish."

"I mean," Setsuna chuckled, "even if I agree with that, there are plenty of other opportunities where I am pretty selfish."

"Like when?"

"Like -"

"Because I can't think of any."

"Oh, there's plenty of times."

"I don't think so. I think you're lying."

"Excuse you, Mr. Snarker?" Setsuna laughed, crossing her arms. "Where is this sass coming from? Have I been a bad, selfish influence on you?"

"Honestly," Izuku couldn't help but laugh too, a little bit thankful that this wasn't turning into an argument and being more silly, "you better stop calling yourself selfish."

"Or what?"

"Or I'll -"

"Ooooh," Setsuna teased, smirking at him as she leaned forward, "what ever will you do if I keep calling myself selfish?"

"Er - I'll -"

"You'll what?" She sat down on the bed, continuing to smile at him, "Come on, Parsley, what'll you do?"

"I'll ..."

Setsuna raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to come up with a suitable punishment for her. For a few seconds, Izuku thought to himself, trying to think of something - until he glanced at her, and then felt himself blush a little.

"Oh, what's this?" Setsuna laughed. "You're looking a little flustered, Parsley. Did you -"

"I'll kiss you."

Setsuna felt her tease falter off, blinking as she looked up at Izuku and realizing - wait, what did he just say?

"I'll ..." Izuku took a deep breath, before nodding to himself, and trying to say, as confidently as he could, "if you keep calling yourself selfish, I'll kiss you."

He felt those words escape his lips, and for one second, Izuku thought that this had backfired spectacularly. Setsuna stared blankly up at him, no emotion on her face as she blinked slowly, and Izuku felt like this had just blown up in his face. He was about to apologize, thank her for the necklace again, and quickly book it up to his room to hide for the rest of the night, when -

"I'm selfish."

Izuku felt himself slow to a stop, hearing Setsuna mutter those two little words so quietly he almost thought he had imagined it - but the green haired girl had slowly stood up, continuing to stare at Izuku, as she slowly walked over to him. He gulped a bit and blushed as she stood in front of him, still wearing the blue dress she wore all today, and took another deep breath.

"I'm selfish, Izuku," she whispered.

He felt his breath catch in his throat as he realized - she didn't call him 'Parsley'. She ... she called him ...

And it was with that that Izuku immediately turned properly around, walked up to her, and cupped both of her cheeks and leaned in to plant a kiss to her lips. Setsuna let out a small hum as she reached up to cup his cheeks, closing her eyes as they kissed for the first time in several weeks, Izuku missing the feeling of her lips on his and her enjoying the feeling of his hair in her hands.

After a few moments, they both disconnected, letting out soft gasps for breath - but Izuku hadn't had enough. He immediately leaned in again, pushing his tongue against her lips, and felt relieved that she granted it entrance, using this opportunity to push her own tongue past his and into his own mouth. It wasn't like their old aggressive kissing when they had sex, nor was it the gently kissing they shared when Setsuna had her breakdown - this was passionate, but he felt so safe in her arms as she wrapped them around him, gently backing up towards her bed the longer they continued to kiss. Soon, the back of Setsuna's legs were against the bed, and with a small 'oomph' from both of them, they collapsed onto the messy mattress, continuing to kiss.

Once they both needed air, they disconnected once again, and Izuku leaned down to kiss along her neck, Setsuna letting out soft gasps as his teeth and lips nipped at her - and she whispered, "Will you stay the night with me?"

"H-huh?"

"I'm - I'm not saying that we need to - to have sex, but ... but please, sleep with me tonight."

"I ..." Izuku hesitated once, almost unsure - and then he caught sight of her eyes brimming slightly with tears.

"Please ..." she whispered, "... please let me be selfish, just once."

Izuku felt his breath catch in his throat, staring down at her for a brief moment - and then he kissed her deeply, hearing her moan softly as his hands began lifting the blue dress, his hands rubbing against her smooth stomach.

"I'm not going anywhere," he muttered, and Setsuna sniffled.

"Please ... please don't go."

"I won't."

"Izuku ..." Setsuna moaned out again as Izuku's hands found her breasts, both of them panting heavily as her own hands crawled up his button up shirt, undoing the buttons and seeing the muscles underneath, and Izuku quickly helped her get the shirt off him. For a few seconds, they paused, Izuku shirtless and Setsuna throwing the dress off her shoulders and into the hamper, leaving her in her underwear. They stared at each other, taking deep breaths for air, and Izuku didn't hesitate to kiss her again, both moaning as they rolled over and let Setsuna lay on top of him, his hands going to her ass and squeezing gently as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

And they didn't notice as Setsuna used one hand to push Izuku's underwear down, exposing his hard cock, nor did they notice as Izuku moved her panties to the side and exposed her wetness, both of them too caught up in their emotions to really think about it as his tip teased her entrance, making her moan out.

"Izuku ..."

"Set ..."

"I ..."

"Set ..."

"... I love you, Izuku."

There was only one more pause between them as Izuku slowly opened his eyes, seeing her staring down at him with tears once again in her eyes, and he let out a small sigh as his cock began pushing into her.

"I ..."

"Izuku ..."

"... I love you too."

---

YUI

yo

they just finished

Normally, Itsuka would've rolled her eyes at that double entendre - but she only sat back in her chair, staring at that message that just came in on her phone. They'd gotten back about two hours ago, Itsuka still feeling pretty tired from their hang out today and wanting to relax in her room for a bit, when Yui had texted her. For a moment, she had thought her best friend wanted to talk about what they had discussed when they got to the museum, what with her confessing her feelings for her and Izuku, and only had a minor panic attack about how to respond to her, but that had been dashed when Yui explained that she had heard noises coming from Setsuna's room. It didn't take long for either of them to realize what was happening, and were unsurprised - it was Setsuna's big day, so they shouldn't be too surprised that Izuku and Setsuna would want to get ... together for the night.

Strangely enough, Itsuka had no jealous thoughts when she realized Setsuna and Izuku were having sex again - more of the opposite. She felt ... weirdly glad. She knew that Setsuna hid it well, but she was still insecure and guilty about her major role in the first few weeks of Izuku living with them, and had been the most vocal about not sleeping with Izuku when he abolished the no sex rule, so learning that she was currently having sex with him made her feel strangely relieved. Still ...

YOU

so did you hear anything?

insults, whatever?

YUI

nope

sometimes i had to strain to hear anything

i think they just

had sex

YOU

huh

well

no degradation huh

that's new

YUI

i mean

it is just a kink

but things must've gotten pretty serious if she couldn't even call him a bitch

YOU

lol

Itsuka shook her head somewhat, sighing as she put down her phone. She saw something in Izuku's birthday chat pop up, so she clicked on it to see what meme Mina sent - although, she didn't really have her mind on that. No, now she was just thinking ... about what the girls had been advising her to do.

Yui, and the rest of the girls ... thought that she should just say fuck it and finally seal the deal with Izuku. A thought shared by the rest of the girls as well. Izuku now only had ... god, he only had one full day left, Itsuka realized as her frown deepened. One more full day with them, and then he was off to the other side of the forest, to be seen occasionally and not all the time. She felt disheartened to think that there was so much that he was being forced to leave behind ... he still needed to forgive the other girls, he still needed to address Pony's feelings, he still needed to ...

... he still needed to address what was going on with her.

She let out a small hum as her thoughts turned to him and Setsuna. She wouldn't lie ... the thought of the two of them downstairs, doing ... that ... she let out a small huff as she laid back in her chair. She ... honestly, she did wish that she was the one downstairs right now, letting Izuku be overtop of her and thrusting into her ... or maybe her on top, hopping up and down. She let out a small, defeated sigh as she slowly shook her head, staring up at her ceiling. Yui had asked during their hangout (date? Was that a date? Wait, concentrate on one thing at a time, Itsuka, Izuku first, then Yui) if it was okay for her to be pushing Itsuka to have sex with Izuku, but ... let's be honest, she couldn't deny it anymore.

Izuku was leaving in a day. She needed to settle this between them once and for all before he left. And that meant that ...

She let out a small sigh, brought back up her phone, and without really glancing at the name on the top, texted to Yui:

YOU

okay

i made up my mind

im going to have sex with izuku tm

Itsuka let out a small sigh as she sent that message to her best friend, and put it down so she could change out of her dress and into her pajamas. Once she was down to her underwear, she glanced over at her phone on the bed and saw it lighting up with a message. Wondering what Yui had to say, or tease, she tiptoed over, still holding her bed t-shirt in her hand, and picked up her phone to check:

SPEEDY GONZALES

What?! Kendou, you intend to what?! As a fellow class representative, I have no idea why you would announce so casually that you plan to seduce Midoriya! What on earth are you thinking that you thought it would be alright to simply say to us what you intend to do?!

Itsuka stared blankly at the message, her brain not really catching up to what she was seeing and leaving her in a state of confusion. Tenya ... was not Yui. How did he -

- and then the other messages started coming in.

ALIEN QUEEN

WOOOOOO

GET IT GIRL!

INVISIBLE GIRL

WOO WOO

HELL YEAH

RIBBIT RIBBIT GIRL

huh

well, good luck to you kendou :)

Itsuka continued staring for a moment - and then she got it. She felt the small blush on her face fade away in an instant, letting her stare, pale faced and horrified, at the mistake that she had just made.

She messaged ... the wrong group chat.

Across the girls' house, they could hear a faint scream of humiliation. Pony glanced up at the ceiling and couldn't help but let out a giggle as she continued playing video games. Izuku grumbled in his sleep but only turned over, while Setsuna put her face in her pillow to stop her laughter from waking him up. Ibara glanced at the wall beside her, then turned back to her computer, going slightly red at the online tips for picking up men. Yui paused in her masturbating to glance at the ceiling, then shrugged her shoulders and kept her phone open, looking back to the threesome video she'd been watching. Kinoko and Reiko also paused in their own lovemaking, Reiko glancing up at the ceiling in confusion while Kinoko patted her stomach rapidly, being suffocated by Reiko sitting on her face.

Meanwhile upstairs, Itsuka smashed a pillow into her face, letting out a low groan of embarrassment. She then raised her head from her pillow and winced again in embarrassment.

YOU

...

Mom has left the group chat

Dinosmash has added Itsuka Kendou to the group chat

SPEEDY GONZALES

Well, now that I know what you intend to do, Kendou, I must meet with Midoriya as soon as I can! As I understand that it's very easy to catch a sexual disease, so I must educate him on the importance of safe sex.

DINOSMASH

NO!

SPEEDY GONZALES

SHHHHHH

Kendou, I apologize.

YOU

SPEEDY GONZALES

I do ask, however, that you and Midoriya still be careful.

SHOUTO

SPEEDY GONZALES

Please do not put in such vulgar manners!

Oh dear. This is not exactly how how I wanted to tell everyone.

But to prevent more misunderstandings - yes. I have been in a relationship for the last two months. Yes, there have been instances where she and I engaged in more intimate interactions. We have been entirely safe, I assure you.

GRAVITY QUEEN

IIDA

YOU AREN'T ANSWERING THE QUESTION

WHO

SPEEDY GONZALES

I'm getting to that!

SHOUTO

she says a lot of memes over the phone

i can them talking next door

GRAVITY QUEEN

IIDA

YOU'RE DATING UTSUSHIMI?!

SHOUTO

oh

i was wondering why she kept visiting ua every weekend

ROCKING QWEEN

todoroki

she comes over every weekend to hang out

and you didn't put the pieces together?

SHOUTO

iida said they were just friends

ROCKING QWEEN

and you believed him?

SHOUTO

yes

QUEEN MOMO

oh shouto

DINOSMASH

sorry to backtrack

and i'm sorry your boyfriend is a dumbass girls

but who's utsushimi?

QUEEN MOMO

Ffeajfoeajfoieafeof

ROCKING QWEEN

STFU

SHOUTO

:)

she's one of my friends from my remedial course

she failed the provincial license exam too, and retook it with me and bakugou

she came over to hang out a few times

QUEEN MOMO

The one who spoke in internet slang?

I believe I know who she is

SPEEDY GONZALES

Indeed - she came over to the dorms at some point to meet with Todoroki, and when she was introduced to me, she was apparently taken aback. So she asked me out on a date, I found that my schedule had room, and we have been going steady since we moved out of the dorms and into the houses. Our relationship has been going quite steadily, and, as embarrassing as it is to admit, we have had practiced, safe sex since then, so no one needs to worry about if I were to pick something up.

With that said, we are quite happy together!

QUEEN MOMO

That's unexpected, Iida

But still, congratulations!

ROCKING QWEEN

i'm still struggling to comprehend that you of all people have a sex life lol

but yeah, good for you

GRAVITY QUEEN

one of my best friends was in a relationship for two months, and never told me

i'm betrayed

utterly betrayed

XD

SPEEDY GONZALES

My apologies, Uraraka! I did want to tell you and Midoriya, but I thought, for the sake of privacy, to keep my relationship with Camie hidden at the moment as to not cause drama in the classroom. Please, forgive me.

DINOSMASH

camie eh (¬‿¬)

on first name basis and everything

DOING IT FOR THE VINE

ANYWAY

itsuka

YOU

yeah anyway

it's not just

you know

the actual sex

i don't wanna keep you guys up with

you know

DOING IT FOR THE VINE

indeed

so what would like us to do?

DINOSMASH

although

izuku's leaving thursday

so you want to have the night to yourselves, we'd have to go someplace else and come back in the morning

GRAVITY QUEEN

i mean

if you guys need to be out for the night, you could sleep over here?

in the 1a dorms

DOING IT FOR THE VINE

that also works!

so we spend the day with midoriya, have dinner, and then leave for 1a

leaving you and him alone, itsuka

SPEEDY GONZALES

Well, perhaps I am overstepping my boundaries here, as I admit I am not well versed in romance myself, despite having a girlfriend, but Kendou, may I ask why you and Midoriya need to be alone for this event?

I do understand the need of privacy, but do your roommates necessarily have to leave the house?

YOU

er

well

it's just

it's kind of hard to explain

DOING IT FOR THE VINE

if i may itsuka

iida, it's less about practical things

it's more of an intimacy

i know that you don't know a lot about what's happening in our house, but this is something that's been a long time coming

itsuka wants it to be special

SPEEDY GONZALES

I see. Well, I will not voice any complaints then, Kendou. I only ask that you and Midoriya be careful, and if you do need help, I would not hesitate to assist you.

YOU

thanks iida

GRAVITY QUEEN

good luck kendou!

Itsuka let out a small sigh as she tossed her phone onto her side table, and laid back to stare at the ceiling, feeling her mouth thin into a line.

Tomorrow night ...

... was when this was going to be finally settled.
