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 ...

35. Coming Clean

"Alright, you two," Setsuna leaned forward, feeling her smirk returning to her face, "now that Parsley's out of here, it's time to talk about what exactly is up with you two - 'cause don't think we didn't notice you two holding hands."

"Sure," Yui shrugged while Itsuka gulped nervously but giggled a bit while glancing down at their conjoined hands, "ask away."

The other girls glanced amongst themselves, giggling a bit about the topic of conversation, and leaned forward slightly to get a better look at both of them both. It had been a few minutes since Izuku left to go hang out with his friends and tell Tenya and Shouto about what they'd been up to in the house (and were fully ready for Tenya to come running to lecture them). The girls had been content with spending those few minutes in silence, smiling dreamily at the kisses he gave them, with both Setsuna and Reiko kind of regretting that Izuku took them by surprise and didn't give them a longer kiss. They'd been happy like that, until Setsuna glanced at Itsuka and Yui on the loveseat beside Ibara, noticing that they were sitting together a little closer than usual, and smirked, remembering what exactly they had done last night (and briefly wondered if she should bring up what she did in response to that), and sat up for the interrogation.

Thankfully, both Yui and Itsuka were up for talking about it, and the girls shook themselves out of their dreamy expressions and trying to keep the feeling of Izuku's lips in their minds, so that they could look over at the loveseat as Yui laid back and Itsuka leaned slightly against her.

"Okay, first and foremost," Setsuna shifted in her seat, feeling her grin widen and a small blush grace her cheeks, "was it hot?"

"Of course it was hot," Yui nodded, her face much calmer than Itsuka's as the orange-haired girl blushed as well, but still gave them a wobbly grin, "it was Izuku and Itsuka, they're the hottest people in this house - no offense, guys."

"None taken!"

"I agree!"

"Bitch please, I'm hotter!" Kinoko insisted jokingly, while Reiko patted her head and chuckled.

"Okay, next question!" Pony requested, going redder than most of them barring Ibara. "Was it - was it just you two having sex with him, or was it - was it all three of you?"

"All three," Yui nodded informatively, "there were times I had sex with Izuku, then I had sex with Itsuka, then the three of us were just in a pile."

"Wait, so that means you're bi, Itsuka?" Reiko looked around with interest. "I always kind of wondered, but I guess that confirms it?"

"Uh … yeah," Itsuka giggled a bit, "I'm bi. Not … really how I expected to find that little tidbit out, but I'm not going to complain."

"Here, here!"

"A-anyway," Ibara shook her head, probably blushing the hardest out of everyone in the room but definitely looking more interested than she'd like to admit, "I am ... wondering how exactly this came to be. I mean - one moment we were all calm and relaxed and going to bed, and the next, apparently P-Pony and I were the only ones who didn't hear what was happening. And we, uh ... we do see you holding hands there. Are you two in a relationship now?"

"Er ... kinda?" Itsuka shrugged, grinning sheepishly while everyone looked intrigued by that word. "It's ... kinda a long story, if I'm being honest."

"I mean, we do have the time," Reiko shrugged, while Kinoko nodded earnestly in agreement "I'm going to text Awase in a little bit - if we're doing a slumber party tonight, we can bring down all our mattresses, put them together, and he can weld them into a giant bed. Kinda like back in the first year after our provincial license exam, but less cramped since we're doing it down here. But in any case - I do admit, I am a bit curious about how all this came about. What ... exactly is your relationship status here? And with Izuku?"

"Well ..."

"I liked both of them," Yui said bluntly, making Itsuka stutter to a stop and the girls turn their gazes to her as the stoic girl leaned forward to explain. "I realized that I liked her since Bakugou beat the crap out of me back during our joint-training, and she was super busy being a cute supportive friend. I fell for her in an instant."

"Oh, jeez," Itsuka muttered, going red.

"And I liked Izuku longer than I liked her - pretty much since we first slept together, but I was too up my own ass calling it 'just sex' to actually realize it. So yeah, it was fun to realize I had a crush on my best friend and the guy who just moved in at the same time. I honestly had no idea what to do, I was a bit messed up thinking that Itsuka liked him and not me at all. At least, until I went shopping with Izuku at the grocery store, and he told me what you and Kinoko were doing, Reiko - romancing him together as a couple.

"Oooooh," Reiko nodded, understanding, while Kinoko's eyes went wide and her grin wider.

"So, thinking that I could at least bring it up as an option, I told Itsuka I liked her at the museum," Yui continued to explain while Itsuka fought down a sheepish smile, "and that I wanted to romance her and Izuku together. After that, I backed off so that she and Izuku could figure out what exactly was going on between them and sort out their issues -"

"- by breaking all the walls." Setsuna muttered in a teasing tone, and giggled when Itsuka grabbed the loveseat's pillow and threw it at her head.

"- and then last night, after the movies were done and everyone went to their rooms, I went up to Itsuka's room because I overheard her wanting to talk to Izuku privately, and I ended up confessing what I wanted to do with them to Izuku. We did have a talk afterwards, and we brought up how we didn't even know if Itsuka was bisexual or not -"

"Oh god, tell me he wasn't the one to suggest a threesome." Ibara groaned, raising her hand to cup over her eyes.

"- well, kind of. Itsuka and I joked a bit about it, and then he asked why we shouldn't. And then we thought, hey, that's a good point, why the hell not. And now here we are." Yui held up their conjoined hands, Itsuka smiling in embarrassment into her hand, "my crotch is sore and I love it. 10/10, would get railed by these two again."

"Here, here!" Setsuna cheered. The other girls joined in giggling while Itsuka sheepishly laughed, leaning to the side and resting her head against Yui's shoulder, and the girls lapsed into a small silence, digesting Yui's explanation and slowly nodding at it - and then Pony leaned forward from her spot on the comfy chair, blushing.

"So," she cleared her throat, going red, "it was hot."

"It was," Yui nodded.

"... yeah," Itsuka giggled, "really hot."

"So, um ... I might be misinterpreting something, but - is that how it's going to be from now on?" Pony glanced around, biting her lip. The other girls blinked at the unsureness and uncertainty on her face - wondering where it was coming from all of a sudden, especially after hearing Yui and Itsuka's story - but before anyone could ask her if she was okay, she said, in a small, nervous voice, "Is everyone going to have to pair up and - I don't know, romance him together? Is that how it's going to be?"

"I ... don't know about that," Ibara shook her head, blushing a bit at that exact implication. "I - I'm sure that Izuku won't mind if we were to - well, after the conversation tonight, I - oh, goodness, I honestly don't know." She slumped down in slight defeat while Itsuka and Yui looked curiously at her. "I'm not really sure what's going to be happening going forward after tonight, so I feel like I should stop guessing - for all I know, he'll come back and ask one of us if we are open to having sex with him again, and -"

"- and we'll do it without hesitation," Reiko finished, and Ibara winced.

"Well - maybe, not exactly like that, but -"

"In any case," Yui glanced around, and thankfully saved Ibara from saying something embarrassing, "no matter what happens tonight, or however we address whatever's going on between everyone, I'm pretty sure Izuku won't mind still sleeping and doing relationship stuff with us individually. I'm sure there are going to be instances, Itsuka, where you want to sleep with him on your own."

"Er ... I don't know," Itsuka shrugged, glancing away with a small blush, "but ... maybe. I don't know."

"It's okay," Yui squeezed her hand, "Sometimes threesomes are nice, but we don't have to do everything together. I don't mind being left out sometimes, as long as you remember to include me most of the time."

"I ... yeah, sure," Itsuka giggled a bit, giving her best friend a smile, "ninety five percent of the time is the three of us, five percent is me and him or you and him."

Reiko and Kinoko tried not to glance at each other when they heard that, unconsciously clearing their throats.

"A-anyway," Pony coughed a bit, deciding to change the subject, "so - so you two are a couple now, right?"

"Pretty much." Yui nodded, and then without another word, she stood up from the loveseat, making Itsuka blink when Yui pulled on her hand to get her to stand up with her. "Now, if you will excuse us, we're going to go make out."

Setsuna, Pony and Kinoko let out 'oooohs' at that, laughing when they saw Itsuka's face go supernova again as she was dragged away, but also amusingly doing nothing to stop Yui from dragging her up the stairs towards her room. The girls downstairs chortled, and Setsuna let out a giggle as she flopped down onto Reiko's lap, careful to mind Kinoko's head in between the ghost girl's legs, and let out an overly dramatic groan as Reiko reached down to pat her forehead.

"This hurts me, Reiko," Setsuna complained in a melodramatic voice as she pretended to angst in the ghost girl's lap, "first you and Kinoko get together, and now Itsuka and Yui get to suck face whenever they want?! There's pretty much no one else for me to team up with in case Izuku wants to have a threesome! Do you really think I can handle him all by myself once he gets a taste for threesomes? Poor little old me, going up against someone used to having sex with two people at the same time?!"

"Er ... yes?" Pony guessed, giggling when Setsuna pouted at her. "And I mean, I guess all else fails, you could … uh …" Pony faltered, glancing over at Ibara once and then feeling her blush return to her face. "N-never mind."

"Well, in any case," Reiko sighed as she moved Setsuna's head off her lap, none of the girls hearing what Pony muttered at the end there much to her relief, "I'm going out back to practice my quirk for a bit, and then I'll text Awase to come over to help us out with the beds. Kinoko, wanna come with me?"

"Sounds shroomtastic!" Kinoko was quick to maneuver herself out of her girlfriend's legs, letting Reiko stand up and stretch, and together the two went down the hall towards the back door, the other three girls hearing the sound of the door opening and sliding shut behind them as they went outside. Pony let out a small sigh as she leaned back in the comfy chair, rolling her neck to get some kinks out of it, and turned back to look at the two remaining girls in the room -

- and then accidentally caught Ibara's eye. The vine girl had just turned to look back at Setsuna to ask her something, and had coincidentally looked at her best friend as the horse girl turned to look at Setsuna at the same time - and then both of them froze briefly when they suddenly remembered what they had said to each other last night.

"Well, I don't imagine I'm brave enough either! But now that we know that Izuku's open for having sex with - well, with more than one person at a time - the rest of us may be more willing to give it a try. I imagine that you could probably ask Itsuka to join you and him, or Yui, or Set, or -"

"Or you."

Both girls felt their faces go red again when they were suddenly reminded of the two little words Pony had said last night without really thinking, and Ibara gulped nervously when Pony was about to open her mouth to say something - what, meanwhile, Pony had no idea - and then without another word, Ibara immediately jumped to her feet, surprising Pony and Setsuna.

"Er - I just realized, I - I just remembered! I have not - well - not - watered the plants in my room! Silly me!" She pointed stiffly at the stairs, a very large fake smile on her face. "I should - go do that right now!"

Before Pony could say anything, or ask Ibara to talk, or hop up to stop her, the vine-haired girl practically sprinted over to the stairs as though the floor were on fire and she needed to get to safety as soon as possible, and took the stairs two at a time and eventually disappearing around the corner to go further up into the house. Pony's frown deepened when she heard the sound of her feet running up the stairs, and slumped back into her seat, frowning a bit in sadness.

"Er." She jumped a bit at the sudden voice to her left, and whirled around to see Setsuna raising her eyebrow at her as she sat up from where she was lying on the couch. "Am I missing something here?"

"Oh! Um -"

"'Cause ..." Setsuna glanced over at the stairs with a curious look in her eye and then back to the horse girl sitting in the comfy chair, "... that looked like it was something."

Pony opened her mouth briefly and then closed it, unsure what to even say now, and glanced away with a small pout. Letting out a small sigh, Setsuna gave her an understanding smile, and with a grunt, swung her feet back to the floor and stood up from the couch, walking over to the chair and tapping Pony's hoof with her foot, which caught Pony's attention as she quickly looked back up at Setsuna.

"Scoot," she requested, and Pony, after a moment's hesitation, gave her an indulgent smile as she adjusted herself to make some room, and let Setsuna plop down right beside her and rest her legs overtop Pony's, the horse girl giggling and rubbing her knees while Setsuna relaxed in the comfy chair, both girls perfectly comfortable with the closeness.

"So," she leaned back, giving Pony a knowing look, "what's going on with you and Ibara?"

"H-huh?"

"Girl, don't even try to play dumb," She chuckled, "I literally just saw you and Ibara take one look at each other, and she sprinted out of here like when Tsuburaba tried to spray her hair with fertilizer. Is something goin on? Did something happen between you two?"

"Er ... yes? No ? I - I don't know, it's - it's weird." Pony slumped in her seat, pouting at nothing, until Setsuna leaned forward with an inquiring look on her face.

"Y'know … if you wanna talk to someone about it, I'm listening."

"Um ... er ... well ..." Pony sighed, trying to find the proper words to explain exactly what happened last night, before she slumped down with a pout on her face. "... we had an awkward moment."

"Okay ... awk - oh wait, okay, you said 'awkward moment'. What kind of awkward moment?"

"W-well ... it's … well … Izuku just went for his shower, and - and we were talking about - y'know, the threesomes -"

"Wait, Ibara was talking about threesomes?" Setsuna wrinkled her brow, taken aback briefly, "I'm surprised - I figured she wouldn't even entertain the thought of that kind of thing. I know the girl's flexible with her religion, but honestly, I was thinking that having sex with two people was something she would draw the line at."

"W-well, it was actually me talking about it," Pony clarified, going red, "and not her. But - but anyway - we were talking a bit about it, and I joked about - well - the possibility of me and him and - and someone else having a - a threesome together. Ibara told me about how I could ask anyone - like, like you or Itsuka - and I - may have -" She went redder and redder, slumping down slightly in her seat with a pout on her face, "- I may have - joked and said - that it could also be - me and her."

"... oh." Setsuna nodded slowly, her eyebrows raising again as she finally understood. "Oooooh. So you made her feel awkward by -"

"Basically saying I'd be down for a threesome with her and Izuku." Pony bit the inside of her cheek, feeling a bit ashamed now that she was being reminded of it. "Yeah. I messed up big time there."

"I mean ..." Setsuna shrugged, trying to give her an assuring smile as she sat forward a little, "I know that you feel like you just messed something up, but I'm pretty sure that this can be cleared up if you just -"

"Tell Ibara that she's hot?"

"..."

"..."

"... I mean, I'm not sure if I'd go that far, but maybe?" Setsuna chuckled a bit weakly, feeling her cheeks go a bit rosy at Pony's blunt statement, and the horse girl's eyes widened when she realized what she just said, immediately raising her hands to cover her mouth.

"Oh, gawd, I didn' mean to say tha' out loud! Oh, gawd, I'm an idiot!" She wailed, throwing herself back against the chair and shaking her head quickly. Setsuna was unable to stop her laughter now, bending over and beginning to go into a giggling fit as Pony realized that the dinosaur-loving girl was laughing at her, and let out a small growl of anger and humiliation.

"Don't laugh at me!" She pouted, and grabbed Setsuna's shoulders. The teasing girl laughed even harder, and Pony couldn't help but grab onto Setsuna tightly, shaking her slightly back and forth. What commenced was a small wrestling match between the two girls, Pony eventually joining into Setsuna's giggling as they struggled against each other, not really fighting but more wrestling playfully. It got to the point that they accidentally fell off the chair, both girls letting out small shrieks of laughter as they landed on the floor, and at once began rolling around trying to stay on top while they laughed and tickled each other, unaware of how tightly they were pressed together while play-fighting. At last, though, Setsuna managed to get on top, and quickly straddled Pony as she grinned down at the horse girl in victory.

"Submit?" She asked teasingly, and Pony huffed and glanced away.

"Cheater," she pouted.

"Oh, come on! How did I cheat through that?"

"I don't know, but you did!"

Setsuna laughed again, and this time pulled Pony up so that she could give her another hug, at least happy that she got Pony to get out of her little funk from earlier. At least Pony giggled a bit in her ear which totally did not send a weird tingle down Setsuna's spine, so sirree. Still, Setsuna caved and moved off of Pony, both of them continuing to giggle as they maneuvered themselves into a cuddle, sitting on the floor and leaning against the couch, with Pony leaning against Setsuna and the green-haired girl wrapping an arm around her waist. They were pretty comfortable with this kind of position - Pony was a cuddle-bug, after all, this wouldn't have been the first time that Setsuna had Pony leaning against her, and honestly, the girl was soft and cuddleable, so it was a win-win situation for her.

Setsuna let out a small sigh, glancing down at Pony as the horse girl closed her eyes and enjoyed the intimacy -

- at least, until Setsuna was suddenly reminded of something, and felt her smile fall off her face and turn into a frown.

"Er ... hey, Pony?"

"Yeah?"

"Did I ... did I ever apologize for telling you to seduce Parsley?"

Pony blinked, and then moved her head to look at the green-haired girl more properly as leaned forward slightly in their embrace, the former teasing expression on her face gone.

"I ... I honestly don't think I did," Setsuna sighed, glancing down at the blonde girl and grimacing slightly. "Like - I know that I've been making it up to Parsley this whole time, but honestly, I should've started making it up to you, too. I pushed you into pursuing Parsley when you probably weren't comfortable to, and - god. I'm sorry, Pony. Really."

"Huh? Oh, no, you're good!" Pony quickly insisted, shaking her head and trying to assure her. "Like - I never really got angry at you for doing that, Set, I was more disappointed in myself for doing it, I never blamed you for it. Honestly, you're good."

"I mean, not really," Setsuna shrugged, "I -"

"Do I have to be the one to bop you on the head right now?" Pony asked in a joking yet still threatening manner, and Setsuna got the message, waving her hand while smiling guiltedly.

"No, no, just - sorry, I know we were joking about it a few minutes ago, but it just… I guess talking about what happened in the first two weeks dragged up some bad memories," Setsuna frowned a bit. "I know that Izuku says I'm good, and the other girls have forgiven me too, it's just - it's not a good place for me to think about. I was good when we were joking about it, but when I sit down and think about it …"

"Nuh-uh! None of that!" Pony pouted, and hugged back into Setsuna's side tightly and knocked off her brief moment of angst. "We're going to have fun today! We have a slumber party coming up, and you're going to have the time of your life and not think about this stuff! No thinking of bad stuff!"

"Okay, okay," Setsuna chuckled, hugging her back. "No bad stuff today. Promise."

"Besides," Pony shrugged, nuzzling more into her friend and hearing Setsuna hum, "it's not like I'm … well, maybe how you told me to come on to Izuku was wrong, but if I'm being honest, I don't think I would have made a move on Izuku if not for the truth or dare game, or when you actually told me to seduce him. I probably would've kept masturbating to him every night with my pillow, and he'd have no idea."

"Oh, god, you hump your pillow?" Setsuna giggled, making Pony blush a bit but still give her friend a sheepish smile. "Whew, now I don't feel too bad about masturbating to the three of them last night. Did you at least buy your pillow dinner first?"

"Shut up!" Pony laughed, nuzzling her head on Setsuna's neck and making the green haired girl laugh. "God, talking about this just reminds me of how much I screwed up when I actually slept with him! I was such a doofus!"

"Really?" Setsuna looked interested, realizing that she never actually asked about Pony's night with Izuku and feeling her curiosity be piqued. "Like how?"

"I just - well, I really fumbled it up," Pony admitted, going red from the memory. "I was makin' big plans to bring him up to my room, confess my feelings, and then ask if he wanted to make love to me, but then I chickened out when I got back to the house, and I just decided to wear my thinnest legging, get rid of my bra, and then brought him up to my room and just asked him to have sex with me. And I was such a loser the whole time, too! Like, he grabbed my horns, and I lost my mind!"

"Oh, right, your horns are sensitive," Setsuna raised her eyebrows, and glanced up at the two horns poking out of her head with a mischievous grin. Pony was quick to point at her with a dangerous pout on her face.

"Touch my horns, I stab you!"

"Wha? Why would you stab me for touching your sensitive, kinky, very nice looking horns?"

Pony huffed and looked away, prompting Setsuna to giggle and hug her again. "So what else? How else did you mess up?"

"Well …" Pony hesitated, and sighed, "I didn't notice before, because Izuku pretty much imitated me during our make out session - but I was a really sloppy kisser."

"Wait, really?"

"Yeah. Like - I have no idea how to even kiss," Pony pouted, frowning. "I kinda - if I'm being honest, I've been tempted to ask him to make out a few times, but - but I always lose my courage whenever I remember how bad a kisser I am. Like - I know that he's had a lot of practice with everyone else, and they at least know how to kiss, so why would he go for the one girl who slobbers all over his face?"

"Huh," Setsuna grimaced slightly, obviously feeling for Pony's plight as she patted Pony's hair. "Well - if you wanted, maybe you could ask him to teach you how to kiss? That would be romantic, right? Izuku gets to be a teacher, and you get some serious lip time. Hell, it might even turn into sexy times if you two are careful! Be ready for a lot of mutter storms, though, I feel like if he had to teach it would be a lot like that."

Pony giggled, at least, before her sour mood returned. "Nah, I don't - that would come across as kind of embarrassing, wouldn't it? The weird horse girl asking the boy she loves to teach her how to actually kiss like a regular human being. I'd be better off kissing my arm for practice."

"I mean," Setsuna chuckled, "if you really want a teacher so bad, I charge five yen an hour."

Pony chuckled, and was about to come up with a comeback to that - maybe asking if she could get a discount - until she suddenly noticed how closely they were sitting together. As in, Setsuna's leg was still on top of hers, suddenly making Pony aware of how smooth it felt against her. Pony blinked, realizing that they were technically cuddling on the floor so she shouldn't be surprised, and wonder why she suddenly hesitated - until she looked closer, and felt her eyes widen a bit. Her leg ... whoa. Normally, Pony didn't really notice legs, but Setsuna's was ... kinda ... what was the word she was looking for here? Very ... healthy. Very pale, and muscular from all her exercise. Her thighs looked like they could choke a man out, and that seemed ... really appealing, for some reason.

Her eyes then trailed further up, seeing the shorts she was wearing go up to her upper thigh, and then her eyes went a bit more upwards to her smooth and slightly muscular stomach, shown by her crop top. She wasn't as muscular as Itsuka, but she still had a decent stomach that looked ... kinda hot. Glancing more upwards towards her breasts, seeing how large they looked. Her long, messy green hair, hanging over her shoulders and trailing down to her chest. Her lips, looking suddenly luscious and full, and very, very kissable. Her beautiful dark green eyes …

… staring at her and obviously seeing Pony check her out, which made Pony squeak and quickly look away, embarrassed at being caught. Setsuna blinked once, taken aback slightly by how unsubtle that was - and then she felt the biggest grin she had on her face all day grace her face.

"Wait a sec ..." Setsuna realized, leaning forward slightly and seeing Pony burning redder and redder, "did you just check me out, Miss Tsunotori?"

"N - no!"

"You did!" Setsuna laughed, poking her cheek in a teasing manner, and laughed a bit harder when Pony whipped her head around fast enough to smack Setsuna in the face with her hair, giving her a big pout, which didn't go away at all when Setsuna pulled her into a hug while continuing to laugh. "Oooh, you're way too cute, Pony!"

"And you're a jerk!"

Setsuna laughed more at that declaration, and gave her another small squeeze. Before Pony could say anything else, maybe to call her more English names that Setsuna probably wouldn't understand or just curse her out with the swear words she did know in Japanese, the green-haired girl suddenly straightened up and unwrapped her arms from around the horse girl, and gave her a more sincere look.

"I was joking earlier," she admitted, although there was a strange gleam in her eye, "but if you are interested in learning how to kiss, Pony, I'd be willing to help you out. All you gotta do is ask - I'm not gonna pressure you into doing something you don't want to. I'm done with all that."

Pony paused, blinking, and then glanced away, feeling her face burning even redder. Was - was she being serious? Did Setsuna really want to - wait, was she reading too much into this? Was she falling for some prank? Was she -

And then Setsuna spoke again, as though reading her mind.

"Seriously, Pony ... be honest with me now," Setsuna gave her a sincere, understanding smile, "do you really wanna learn how to kiss?"

"I ... um ..." Pony gulped, blushing and quickly looking around to stare at a wall rather than the friend she had been tangled up with for the last five minutes, while Setsuna giggled lowly.

"Okay," she said softly, "if you can't decide now, it's all good. You can think about it all you want today, and if you wanna make out, just knock on my door. I know that you're probably trying to guess if I'm being serious or not, so I'll be clear - I'd be more than happy to suck face with you. All you gotta do is come up to my room and ask."

Pony let out a grumble and pout as Setsuna got up from the floor, patted her head, and started heading over towards the stairs to head up to her room to spend some time to herself. Pony let out a small sigh, frowning slightly, before she shook her head and smacked her cheeks lightly with both hands, trying to get herself to calm down as she also got to her knees to get up and find something to do.

Don't be ridiculous, Pony, she mentally reprimanded herself, it's just an impulse. You don't actually wanna make out with Setsuna.

Her eyes glanced back at Setsuna as she went up the stairs, unintentionally glancing down and blushing at the sight of her butt in those short-shorts. Her ... rather big butt, now that Pony noticed.

… do I?

---

"And there you go," Awase nodded in satisfaction, sitting up and wiping his bandana-covered forehead, "all sealed up. This should wear off by tomorrow morning, but until then, you got a giant bed."

"Thanks, man!" Itsuka clapped his shoulder, smiling down at him and giving him a thumbs up. "This is perfect."

It had been half an hour since Izuku left to head over to the 1A side of the forest, twenty minutes after the girls had talked, and ten minutes after Itsuka and Yui snuck off to make out in Yui's bed (which still made Itsuka a bit giddy when she thought about it, and wondering if her lips were feeling bruised from all the rough kissing she'd been doing for the past three days or if she was just going crazy). Once she had wrapped up with training, Reiko had given Awase a call and asked him to come over, explaining that they wanted to have a slumber party, and asked if it were possible if he could seal some of their beds together so they could have something to sit on. When their bandana-wearing friend agreed to come over and help for a price, Yui had been convinced, much to her annoyance and reluctance, to stop kissing Itsuka for ten minutes and head upstairs to shrink down a few of their mattresses and bring them to the living room to resize, arrange them into a large rectangle, and moved the couch over to make room.

In the end, they had six mattresses to use as their makeshift giant bed, only leaving Izuku's bed alone upstairs due to his locked door, and they also decided to Itsuka's mattress, which was still ... pretty stained from the events of the last two days. Itsuka had let out a small groan when she saw the giant stain in the middle of the bed, and took the time to grab her soiled bedsheets and bring them downstairs to throw into the laundry machine.

And now, with Awase sealing together the last mattress, they had their giant bed for the sleepover.

"So," Awase stood up and cracked his back, and then turned to Yui, who was pouting at him with narrow eyes while he smirked, "my payment, if you don't mind, Kodai."

Yui hummed in annoyance, with a serious pout on her face, but brought the basket filled with Ibara's tomatoes from behind her back, that were planted just for her, and bitterly handed them over to the confident Awase as he smiled widely down at the beautifully red fruits.

"Score!" He pumped a fist while Ibara and Itsuka chuckled, and Yui continued glaring at their friend. "I've missed these so much since we moved out of the dorms. I was always so jealous that you got to hog Ibara's to yourself, Kodai."

"I'm going to steal your bandanas while you sleep and tie them together into a rope." Yui threatened in her calm, monotoned voice, while Ibara patted her shoulder to comfort her losing her favorite food.

"It's only half, Yui, you still have some to eat!"

"That doesn't matter. I hate you Awase, I hope you trip and land on her stupid face."

Awase laughed at that, reaching over and patting Yui's hair while she continued to pout at him, and turned to walk out the front door and head back to his own house - he was currently in the middle of a video game tournament with Sen, Juzo, Hiryu and Kosei, he should hurry back before they did something to put him at a disadvantage.

"Seriously, though" he chuckled, walking over to the door while the other three followed him out, "I'm not gonna lie, I kinda missed you guys - it seems like forever since we all hung out, as a class anyway."

"That's true," Ibara nodded in agreement, smiling at him, "it's a bit different when we're all at school, isn't it? It seems like we don't have time to hang out there unless it's at lunch. We'll have to figure out something to as a class pretty soon. Perhaps eating out at a restaurant?"

"Oh?" Awase chuckled, giving them knowing looks, "And you think Midoriya'll be cool with that if you leave him behind? Won't he get lonely?"

"Midoriya would be fine by himself for a few hours," Itsuka chuckled, knowing what their friend was suggesting and teasing, and deciding to play along somewhat, "I know that it seems like we're attached at the hip with him, but he'd probably be more than happy to have the house to himself for once if we all went to hang out as a class."

Awase chuckled at that, glancing behind him at the girls as he put back on his shoes.

"Er ... it might not be my business, but what's going on with him, by the way?" He opened their door, stepping out onto the front porch while glancing behind him with a curious look. "We heard that he was supposed to move out yesterday back over to the 1A side, but from the looks of things he's still here. At least, I don't think any of you guys would have an All Might coffee cup. What's up with that? Why's he's still here? N-not that I have a problem with that, he's cool! I'm just curious."

"Oh, uh ... actually, funny story - well, Aizawa-sensei came around yesterday during lunch," Itsuka explained, turning her face neutral and trying not to give away anything she didn't have to, "and told Midoriya that they wanted to move Shinsou over to one of the houses as well, and they were going back in forth between moving him into his old room back in 1A and here with us. We all had a talk with Principal Nezu, and we decided that it would be simpler to just have Midoriya stay with us and Shinsou move into the other room, rather than moving Midoriya back into his old and having Shinsou move in with us. Y'know, since Midoriya's more familiar with us, and we don't really know Shinsou."

Ibara and Yui tried not to roll their eyes at Itsuka's explanation while Awase nodded at that in obvious acceptance, shaking their heads subtly. They couldn't deny that everything Itsuka said was technically true - she just chose to leave out the big points about how the girls didn't want Izuku to move out for much less practical reasons than the one she gave Awase, how they hadn't even realized that Shinsou was an option when they asked the teachers to let Izuku stay, and all the other drama surrounding him leaving.

Nope, Awase didn't need to know all that at all, and he looked like he accepted the answer as perfectly reasonable - although, before he could turn around to start heading back down the street, he suddenly frowned as he looked back at the three girls, making Itsuka, Ibara and Yui blink in confusion as they walked out into the front yard.

"Y'know, most of the guys don't really have a problem with Midoriya staying here, we know that he's pretty cool," Awase shrugged, adjusting his bandana on his forehead, "but now that I'm thinking of it, Monoma's been in a really bad mood for the last week. Do you think it has something to do with that?"

"A bad mood?" Ibara inquired, while Itsuka frowned suddenly and Yui raised her eyebrow, both girls easily guessing what could possibly be bothering the blonde copycat. "When you say that, do you mean ...?"

"I mean, he's been really snippy with all us guys," Awase explained, grimacing slightly, "and he blew up on Tetsutetsu yesterday when he mentioned training with Kirishima. Like - it's not even in the normal productive way whenever we talk about 1A, and he tries to hype us up to beat them. Now you mention anyone in their class and he storms off. Like, you could mention Koda and Monoma will treat you like you just ran over his dog. Plus, we mentioned you once, Kendou, and he pretty much yelled at us and went up to his room. Did something happen with you guys?"

"Monoma ..." Itsuka bit on her lip, feeling a bit annoyed that she knew exactly why he was being a jerk to the rest of the guys, but let out a soft sigh as she raised a hand to rub through her orange hair, "... he hasn't taken Midoriya living here very well, and when I confronted him on it he ... called us names that we don't appreciate at all. I told him to get his act together and stop with the antagonism of 1A, but if what you said is right ... he might just be doubling down."

"We ... may have told him we wouldn't be speaking with him until he calms down with the rivalry between our classes," Ibara admitted, crossing her arms briefly and frowning. "He's not a bad guy, not at all, but we can't exactly ignore what he called us."

"Man," Awase winced, shaking his head, "I mean, I'd offer to talk to him, but I don't really want to get on his bad side either."

"I'd say to give him a few days to calm down, but that doesn't look like it's happening," Itsuka sighed, sitting down on her front step and grimacing. "I'll talk to him Monday, when school's back in session - he still needs to properly make up for what he said to us, but from the sounds of things he's ignoring what we told him and just staying mad about it. And now that Midoriya's pretty much going to stay here on a permanent basis, we can't exactly let Monoma keep being angry about this - all that'll happen is he blows up again and just make this worse."

"I get it," Awase nodded, holding his tomatoes close to his chest while grimacing, "I definitely think that talking to you might make things a little better, Kendou. But I'll let Tetsutetsu know that you want to talk to him on Monday, and -"

"GUUUUUUYS!"

The girls all jumped at the sound of someone yelling from down the road, and quickly looked to the road, Awase also looking around in confusion as he held his tomatoes carefully to his chest as though afraid that he would drop them - and once they saw the source of the commotion, Itsuka, Ibara and Yui let out tired groans.

"Great," Itsuka grumbled, "saw this coming a mile away."

Coming down the hill as fast he could was Tenya, sprinting down the trail to get to the Class 1B girls' house - but he was running at a much slower speed than usual, due to having a layer of Black Whip wrapped around his waist securly to stop him from going full speed down the road. Being dragged behind him was Izuku and Ochako, digging their feet into the ground and trying not to trip and fall on their faces. And from behind the three struggling friends, they could see Shouto and Tsuyu running (or in Tsuyu's case hopping) as fast as they could towards them, Tsuyu looking mildly worried and Shouto completely blank.

It was ... rather an odd sight to see the famous Dekusquad in. But what made Itsuka, Yui and Ibara wince was when Tenya turned his gaze to them, and immediately pointed a hand straight at them.

"KENDOU! KODAI! SHIOZAKI! I NEED TO SPEAK WITH YOU AND THE REST OF THE GIRLS! IMMEDIATELY! RIGHT NOW!" He shouted as loudly as he could, straining as Izuku dug his heels into the road to prevent him from going faster.

"IIDA PLEASE WAIT, I TOLD YOU IT WAS FINE!" Izuku screamed, completely red in the face and resembling a radish.

"IIDA, STOP RUNNING, I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE MY SNEAKERS IF YOU MAKE ME TEAR HOLES IN THEM!" Ochako yelled, cringing as her good shoes were dragged further and further down the road.

"Oh, geez," Itsuka groaned, and watched as Ibara instinctively ran towards them, realizing exactly what was getting Tenya's engine going and needing to shut him up before he screamed to the heavens about what heathens they were, and stretched out her vines to assist Izuku in wrapping up his best friend to prevent him from moving anymore. Realizing that Awase was staring at the scene before him with confusion, Itsuka let out a weak chuckle.

"Uh - Awase, we, um ... should handle that. We'll ... see you later?"

"Er ... yeah," Awase nodded, gulping slightly as Ibara threateningly raised Tenya above the ground with a scary blank expression on her face, which he only saw once when Tsuburaba poured fertilizer in her hair, and thought it wise to quickly get back to his house before he got dragged into ... whatever the hell was going on here. He really would rather not get caught in the crossfire of whatever the hell this was.

As Awase quickly ran back to his house, waving a quick goodbye to Yui, Itsuka let out a tired sigh as she looked at Tenya being hoisted into the air while flailing his hands, and turned to Izuku as he panted raggedly, his hands on his knees while Ochako frantically checked the bottom of her shoes for any holes that might've been made when she was being dragged from one end of the forest to the other. She could hear the rest of the girls in the house opening the front porch to check what was going on with all the yelling, and heard a tired "oh, come on" from Setsuna when she got a look at what was happening out front of their house.

"So," Itsuka guessed, unable to suppress a small smirk, "I assume it didn't go well?"

"Uh -" Izuku managed to catch his breath, and gave the two girls looking down on him with raised eyebrows a sheepish grin, "- no. No, not at all."

---

"Hey, Deku! Wait up!"

Izuku jumped a bit when he heard his name be called, and turned around. He'd been walking for the past ten minutes over to the 1A dorm houses, muttering to himself about how exactly he was going to phrase his question to Shouto (and not die of embarrassment when his other friends heard what he was asking), and had been distracted when he heard a familiar voice call out behind him. He turned to see Ochako and Tsuyu walking behind him, waving and smiling as they broke into a jog to catch up to him. Ochako was wearing her familiar black tank-top and shorts, while Tsuyu stuck with her gym pants and a grey t-shirt. Both girls appeared to be in high spirits, jogging up to him while having big grins on their faces at the thought of hanging out with their friends.

"Thank goodness! We were running a bit late and thought you guys were waiting for us," Ochako gave Izuku a high-five when she reached him, while Tsuyu smiled up at him. "Mina had a bit of a problem getting the new hot tub Yaomomo made running, so we had to help her figure it out before we left. But it looks like you're running late too, Deku."

"Yeah, I was, uh - I ended up hanging out with the girls a bit longer than I meant to," Izuku admitted sheepishly with a blush - not really wanting to admit that his tardiness was due to kissing the girls goodbye when he left, which still gave him a case of the butterflies in his stomach when he thought about it. "But - but that's not important. S-so, uh - so Shinsou's going to move into my room, huh?"

"Yeah! Honestly, I'm still a little surprised that no one thought about just having him move into the 1A dorm house instead of you until the last minute." Ochako admitted as the trio began walking towards the 1A household, seeing it as they rounded the corner. "Although, I forgot that he was joining our class in the second semester, so I guess it makes sense to move him in there so it's not so long a walk for him to get to our class."

"Yes, it'll be more convenient for him, definitely. Although, I suppose that means you're staying with the 1B girls, Midoriya." Tsuyu poked her lip with her finger as they walked, giving him a small, teasing grin. "But I don't think we'll hear you complain about that."

"Um ... no, honestly, I'm - I'm very happy with how it turned out," Izuku nodded, unable to hide his own happy smile at the thought, which Ochako and Tsuyu also smiled at, Tsuyu letting out a small ribbit and Ochako pumping her fist into the air.

"Honestly, I'm really happy you ended up staying with them!" She cheered. "Because if you're going to be staying at the girls' dorm, Deku, I wanna come over more often to hang out with everyone! I was just thinking yesterday, hanging out with them on the beach and your birthday party and the sleepover was so much fun! Although ..." She was unable to hide her own teasing grin, looking straight up at Izuku and making him gulp nervously, "I didn't see Kendou there at all. Do you know where she was, Deku?"

"Um ..." Izuku felt himself go red, and glanced away as both Tsuyu and Ochako gave him matching knowing grins.

"Where was she, Midoriya?" Tsuyu giggled.

"Where on earth could Kendou have been, Deku?" Ochako laughed.

"You guys are mean." Izuku pouted, blushing even redder as both girls laughed and patted his shoulders.

"In any case," Tsuyu got the conversation back on track, "I definitely agree with you, Ochako - now that we've gotten to know them a little better, I want to hang out with them a bit more too, kero. We definitely need to do more girls nights with them."

"I - yeah, that sounds pretty nice." Izuku nodded, giving the both of them a smile, and the three of them continued on towards the first 1A boy's dorm house, seeing Tokoyami and Kouda walking out of the house and down the road that would lead to the main building. As they walked along the path towards where Tenya and Shouto lived, Ochako glanced up at Izuku, and cleared her throat.

"So … Deku," she said nonchalantly, causing Izuku to turn to her with an inquiring hum, "what exactly did you need to meet up with Todoroki about?"

"Huh?"

"Well," she shrugged, "I was just curious. Usually when you need to talk to someone you either go to one of the girls in 1B or me - so what's up?"

"O-oh," Izuku blinked, realizing that - oh crap.

Oh, crap.

While talking to Ochako and Tsuyu, he had completely forgotten why he was going over to the 1A house in the first place - to come clean with what was really going on between him and the rest of the girls in 1B. He knew that Ochako and Tsuyu were in the know, and would probably be more than happy to talk to him about his problem, but he knew that what he wanted to ask was something Shouto would know about, and he trusted his judgement.

But Ochako and Tsuyu ... may advise him not to tell Tenya. And he knew exactly why - because Tenya would not take it well at all. But honestly, the more he thought about it, the more guilty Izuku thought of the idea that he would tell all his close friends what was going on with him and the girls and exclude Tenya from that. He didn't want to hurt his friend's feelings by saying that he was dating Itsuka and then all of a sudden telling him a few months later that it was a lie. So if he had to tell Shouto, he would tell Tenya too.

"I'm, uh …" He cleared his throat, blushing a bit as he thought about how to exactly say this, and then muttered in a low voice, "I'm going to ask Todoroki for some relationship advice."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"... you're asking Todoroki for relationship advice." Ochako repeated, raising her eyebrow.

"Y-yes."

"... Todoroki."

"Yeah."

"Er … okay," Ochako shrugged slightly, wrinkling her brow in confusion, "but … why him exactly? I mean, I know he's got his whole thing with Yaomomo and Jirou, but - I don't know, do you think he can give good relationship advice? Like, he texted me a few nights ago asking about the difference between giving girls flowers and chocolates, and I had to actually talk him out of buying them a literal truckload of roses. He's not ... exactly an expert on romance. So why not come to me and Nejire? Or heck, why not Yaomomo, even? Why Todoroki of all people?"

"I agree," Tsuyu hummed, glancing at the house before them with a raised eyebrow. "I do like Todoroki, but I don't think he's exactly the person you should turn to to get romantic advice from."

"Er - well -" Izuku coughed, clearing his throat as they walked onto the driveway of the 1A house, walking up the steps to knock on the door, "- it's just - he has a - well, if this were any different, I would've gone to you, Uraraka, believe me, but … but there was something I wanted to ask him specifically. Especially - well - concerning his relationship with Yaoyorozu and Jirou."

"Um … okay," Ochako nodded slowly, glancing at Izuku uncertainty, "and … can we ask what that was? Or is it private?"

"I … well …" Izuku gulped, standing outside on the front porch, "... the truth is … the girls and I … we're about to have a talk. A - a serious talk. About - about what exactly is going on between all of us, and ... and what exactly we consider our relationship to be."

"... oh." Tsuyu blinked, her eyes widening. "As in - you're going to talk about what you all are? Is that what I understand, kero?"

"Er - yeah," Izuku nodded, knocking on the door and stepping back a little. "And ... and I know that I definitely need to give them an answer tonight. I mean … having fun with all the girls is nice, and I care about all of them a lot. But I can't just sit back and let this continue on - I feel like I need to actually address what we all actually are to each other. They're my closet friends -"

"I beg your pardon?" Ochako asked in a suddenly cold and tranquil voice, but Izuku gulped when he saw her hands ball into clenched, shaking fists.

"Oh - I - I, uh - I just meant -"

"MIDORIYA!"

Izuku jumped when his name was suddenly screamed out in front of him, and quickly looked around from Ochako's murderous glare to see Mineta had thrown open the door, rage and murder in his eyes as he unexpectedly leapt up and grabbed Izuku by the collar, making the green-haired boy yelp as he was dragged down to Mineta's level, much to Ochako and Tsuyu's surprise.

"YOU MANIPULATIVE SON OF A BITCH!" Mineta screeched, tears of blood streaking down his cheeks as he shook Izuku back and forth. "YOU SOMEHOW GOT TO STAY WITH SEVEN BUXOM BABES PERMANENTLY?! FIRST IIDA, THEN TODOROKI WITH YAOYOROZU AND JIROU, AND NOW YOU?! TEACH ME HOW YOU DID IT! SWITCH ROOMS WITH ME! PLEASE, MIDORIYA, PLEASE -"

"Mineta, stop screaming," Shouto said nonchalantly from the couch, tossing his book away so that he could stand up, while Tsuyu instinctively grabbed Mineta by the back of the neck and dragged him off of Izuku, and stuffed him into a random pillowcase she pulled out of nowhere, doing it so calmly you would think she did this on a daily basis. "You're going to give people headaches."

"H-hey, Todoroki," Izuku waved weakly, "is - is Iida down here yet?"

"Not yet," Shouto shook his head, "so if we were going somewhere, we can always head up to his room to check if he's done with -"

"Whew, that was lit, fam!"

The small group turned around - and felt their jaws drop when they saw Camie Utsushimi hopping down the stairs, wearing what was clearly Tenya's sweater over her crop top and pajama pants while slinging her backpack over her shoulders, while Tenya followed her quickly down the stairs waving his hands frantically while blushing up a storm.

"Camie, I requested that you leave my sweater here! It's fine if you wanted to wear it while you're here, but I'm not sure if it is appropriate to be seen in a public -"

"Boi, don't you know it's tradition for girlfriends to hog all their boyfriend's sweaters, it's a common fact! You're lucky I haven't taken more by now! Don't worry, I'll bring it back next time we Netflix and chill." Camie sent a wink and blew a kiss to her sputtering boyfriend, and without another word, turned on her heel and strolled out the door to get to her bus to go back to her own school, giving a grin and wave to Izuku and Ochako as she moved past them.

Tenya was left blushing and fuming slightly, muttering something they couldn't exactly hear but contained the words 'rule abiding' and 'lucky she's so cute', before he managed to shake himself out of it and turned to their guests, seeing Shouto standing beside Izuku and Ochako raising his eyebrow at Camie's exit, while the brunette glared a hole into the back of Izuku's head for the 'closest friends' comment, and Tsuyu contemplated swinging around the bag containing Mineta's struggling form with a finger raised to her lip again, and quickly snapped to attention.

"A-ah! I see everyone's arrived! I would comment on your tardiness, but obviously you can see that I was - also running a bit late," Tenya cleared his throat, glancing away with a blush and exposing his collar slightly when he pulled at his button up shirt.

"Kero, is that a hickey, Iida?"

"Ergh!"

Soon enough, once Tenya got over his brief embarrassment and Ochako was satisfied by bringing Izuku into a headlock and giving him a head nuggie, the Dekusquad went up to Tenya's room, leaving a struggling Mineta behind and hanging out in the class representative's room. Izuku took a seat at Tenya's desk, Ochako and Tsuyu immediately speeding over to try on a few pairs of Tenya's glasses, and Shouto sat with Tenya on his bed. Still, though, everyone seemed calm and relaxed, willing to hang out a bit together - unless you looked at Izuku, and saw him beginning to sweat a bit nervously as he glanced around and realized what he had to do now that everyone was gathered up - and he already was getting ready to chase down Tenya for when he found out what Izuku had been doing for the past two months.

"I must say, this has been a relaxing week off!" Tenya said cheerfully, clapping his hands together while glancing around. "With that said, though, I cannot wait to get back to class."

"Normally I'd think you're crazy, kero," Tsuyu commented as she tried on another pair of glasses, glancing into Tenya's mirror and giving herself a thumbs up, "but there hasn't been much to do this week, so I'm also ready to head back."

"Hm. I've kept pretty busy," Shouto shrugged, arranging himself to sit more comfortably on the bed, "so I'm going to enjoy the next two days off before we have to get back to work."

"Er ... yeah," Izuku chuckled a bit, still going through how exactly he was going to phrase this, and hoped that they could keep the conversation going for a least a little bit longer while he thought up how to say 'I've been boning every girl in the class next door to us' in a way that wouldn't cause Tenya to have an aneurysm.

"Well, it sounds like we've all enjoyed our time off, and can't wait to get back to school. Now, then!" Tenya clapped his hands together again, and turned towards Izuku with a smile, "Midoriya, I believe you said there was something you needed to speak to Todoroki about?"

Oh, god, Iida, why?!

"Uh … y-yeah."

"Okay," Shouto nodded, sitting forward, "what's up?"

"Oh - um - I -"

"Indeed, whatever could it be about?" Tenya wondered out loud, raising a hand to cup his chin, "A late night text, asking to speak - I admit, it piqued my curiosity."

"Uh -"

"Iida, it was eleven o'clock," Ochako sighed as she sat down beside him on the other side of the bed, wearing a pair of his glasses while Tsuyu sat down on the floor. "I wasn't even in bed yet, Nejire and I were talking on the phone."

"Well, you should have wrapped that up at eight o'clock, Uraraka!"

"Then why were you still up?" Shouto wondered out loud.

"Camie was telling me about her day, and we ended up talking for a few hours after that and lost track of time! And then on top of that, Aizawa texted me just as I was finally going to bed about the situation concerning Shinsou and the repaired room! By that time I was quite awake, despite my wishes!"

"Ah. That makes more sense."

"Er …" Izuku coughed.

"Ah! My apologies for interrupting you, Midoriya!" Tenya quickly snapped back to attention, turning his gaze over to the green-haired student. "Please, continue."

"Er … okay, it's … uh …" Izuku tried to find his words, hoping that he could find the exact words he wanted to say that wouldn't result in Tenya freaking out - before sighing and slumping over, realizing there was no way that Tenya would take this well no matter how he said it, so he would just have to wing it. "I'm … sorry, I thought I knew what I was going to say here."

"It's okay," Tenya nodded encouragingly, giving him a comforting smile, "just take your time."

"Okay … it's …" Izuku thought for another moment, then sighed again, "... it's about the 1B girls."

"Oh!" Tenya blinked, sitting back while Ochako and Tsuyu blinked, glancing at Izuku with confusion. "I see. Did something go wrong, Midoriya? Or perhaps this is about Kendou?"

"Uh -"

"I'm still kind of surprised," Shouto shrugged, leaning back slightly, "I didn't think you two were in a relationship before we all hung out in the hot tub, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I mean, you two do walk home from school together every day with Shiozaki."

"Er -"

"And you two are a good match!" Tenya nodded, giving Izuku a thumbs up while smiling. "I must say, Midoriya, as much as I'm ashamed to admit it, I had a slight fear of you getting into trouble with the girls of that house, especially when you were unsupervised" (he didn't notice Izuku, Ochako and Tsuyu wince) "but being in a relationship with the class representative of 1B, I imagine you're quite happy! I know that she's not quite a stickler for rules like I am, but Kendou is quite responsible! And quite fun to be around, if I must say so."

"Uh …"

"Still," Shouto shrugged, "I'm kinda surprised, after seeing you hanging out with all the girls, I was thinking that -"

"I'm not in a relationship with Itsuka."

Both Tenya and Shouto faltered, blinking, while Ochako and Tsuyu's eyes widened as they whipped their gazes to Izuku, realizing exactly what he was going to say. The boy looked awkward, going a bit red, but took a shuddering breath.

"I mean - technically, I am in a relationship with her - just - we're not - she's not my girlfriend, exactly."

Both Shouto and Tenya stared at him for a minute, while not noticing Ochako's wide eyes and slow head shaking as she waved her hands, before Tenya asked, in a confused voice, "Then - I apologize, Midoriya, I'm quite confused. You are not in a relationship with Kendou, but you are? Can you please -"

"I'm in a relationship with all of them." Izuku blurted out, closing his eyes tightly. He knew that he was going to be fumbling with his words until he actually said it, so he decided to just say to hell with it and come out and put it as bluntly as possible.

He could hear Ochako and Tsuyu hiss slightly, both girls cringing and getting ready for the inevitable meltdown. Izuku finally opened his eyes slowly, still wincing, to see Shouto staring at him, blinking in surprise and confusion as he wrinkled his brow and looked around, obviously thinking to himself how that worked. And of course …

"I …" Tenya wrinkled his brow in confusion, as though he had been struck in the face and he couldn't quite believe it, "I … I'm sorry, Midoriya, can you please repeat that? I don't think I heard you properly."

"I -" Izuku gulped, feeling nervous and shaky, but sighed, "I'm … technically … in a relationship with all the girls in 1B. Itsuka, Ibara, Setsuna, Pony, Yui, K-Kinoko and R-Reiko. I've … technically been in a relationship with all seven girls since I've - since I've moved in."

And with that, the most uncomfortable thirty seconds of silence in Izuku's life finally began. Izuku continued staring at his feet, waiting for the inevitable blow up. Ochako and Tsuyu glanced at each other, horrified that they somehow didn't see this coming and didn't try to stop him, and waiting for Tenya to blow up. Shouto continued blinking in confusion, and glanced down at his hand to count on his fingers up to seven, eyes widening and cheeks going slightly red. As for Tenya, he continued staring blankly at Izuku as though he had never seen him before, and then finally, the bespectacled class representative let out a quiet sigh.

"... you're … in 'relationships', for lack of better words, with all seven of the girls."

"Yeah."

"As in …" Tenya gulped, "... you've … had sexual relations with all of them?"

Izuku gulped, wondering how Tenya came to that assumption, but let out a defeated sigh and nodded.

Tenya stared for a moment, mouth dropping slightly open - and then he leapt to his feet, squaring up, and nodded.

"All right then. I had thought that I didn't need to do this when you moved in, but better late than never." He told the room informatively, "If you will please excuse me, I must go lecture the girls. You are next, Midoriya, so please remain here so that I can speak to you privately."

"Okay, I'll just - huh?" Izuku blinked, quickly looking up at his best friend in confusion. "Wait, you're going to what?"

"The seven of you … sleeping around with each other, with no regards to safe sex, I presume … the risk of pregnancies and sexual diseases ..." Tenya shook his head at the very thought, determination on his face as he turned around and made his way towards the door, "I'll have to correct this at once!"

"I - wait, Iida, wait a second!"

"I will not wait, Midoriya, and please don't assume that - what? What are you doing?! Midoriya, take your Black Whip thing off me at once!"

"Iida, please wait a second, let me explain!"

"Iida, listen to him!"

"Uraraka, I insist that - oh, this is ridiculous! Recipro -"

"IIDA!"

"IIDA, NO! NOT IN THE HOUSE!"

---

"Scandalous! Completely and utterly scandalous!"

About twenty minutes later, the seven girls of 1B and Izuku winced as Tenya ranted and ranted, pacing around the living room in a circle while minding his feet and not stepping on the beds lying on the floor, and going on a huge tangent while shaking his head, his arms flailing everywhere as he got himself more and more worked up. He'd come in and taken one look at the welded beds on the floor, and immediately began flailing around, convinced that he walked in on an orgy in the making and was determined to put a stop to it at once, forcing the girls and Izuku to sit down and listen to his ranting about safe sex and how the teachers of UA would be disappointed with them that they took their trust and squandered it - only to grow even more scandalized when Itsuka slipped that the teachers were at least aware of what had happened.

Meanwhile, Tsuyu and Ochako took up the comfy seat, staring up at their friend with slight discomfort, while Shouto nonchalantly went through the girls' cupboards, humming to himself as he glanced over their food and paid Tenya no mind. After all, he was hungry, and he already heard this speech when Tenya walked in on Kyouka sitting on his face while Momo ... well, yeah.

"To think, this was what you were up to all along!" Tenya slapped himself in the forehead in his exasperation. "I should have seen this coming from a mile away! No, I did see this coming, I simply chose to trust you all to keep it in your pants! Which was clearly a mistake! I would say that I should have continued to check in with Kendou on how you were behaving in this house, Midoriya, but it may have been a moot point anyway, seeing as she was also in on it!"

Itsuka shrugged a bit, gulping nervously as Tenya descended more and more into shock and outrage.

"By god!" Tenya suddenly stopped, eyes widening in horror as he wheeled around. "If you were sleeping with them all along, that means -! Midoriya, when you insisted on walking home with Kendou and Shiozaki every day - that meant that you were giving in to your desires and -?!"

"No!" Izuku, Itsuka and Ibara immediately shouted together, Izuku going pale in horror while Ibara went as red as the left side of Shouto's hair.

"Iida, we were not -! No!" Itsuka insisted, her red face combined with her orange hair giving the impression that her entire head was on fire.

"But then -!" Tenya shook briefly, turning to the eight of them. "I cannot believe that I am going to ask this - but I need to - no, at this point, I have to know! It does not matter if it is 'TMI' as Uraraka would call it, I need to know about the potential risks you all were put under! And that means - that you should - you should tell me -"

"How many times we each had sex with Parsley?" Setsuna guessed with a small smirk while Tenya went even more frigid and red faced. "Well ... I don't know how exactly that helps you, but okay. If I had to guess ... I'm going to say three times? Yeah, three times since he's moved in."

"Four times," Yui nodded.

"Once." Pony's voice was small.

"Once." Kinoko and Reiko said together.

"Once." Ibara muttered.

"Twice." Itsuka grimaced.

"S-so that's ..." Tenya stopped for a second, mentally counting up, and then his eyes widened, "so that was twelve times?! Between all of you?!"

"Er ... yeah," Itsuka shrugged, looking like she was trying not to laugh now, "between all of us? Yeah, twelve times. Keep in mind, I was the most recent addition, I only started sleeping with Izuku this week."

"I - I am clearly aware of that! You made your intentions clear in the group chat!"

"Wait, you made what clear to what group chat?!" Izuku quickly whipped his head around at Itsuka, eyes widening in horror, and the girls had to suppress giggles when Itsuka looked equally as petrified and immediately and quickly explained that no, she didn't gloat about what happened to 1A or anything like that. Both Ochako and Tsuyu glanced at each other while trying to suppress their own giggles at Itsuka's embarrassment, at least until Tenya's gaze turned to them and he let out a tired groan.

"You two knew, didn't you?" He questioned, and both girls quickly shut up at that, "You knew what Midoriya was doing all along!"

"Er …" Ochako gulped nervously, realizing that she just unintentionally gave away that yeah, she did know about it, but still sighed and leaned forward, "yeah. Yeah, Iida, I did. Deku came to me pretty early on when it started happening and told me."

"And I found out by accident, kero."

"Then - why not tell me?" Tenya shook his head, feeling betrayed, and quickly looked back around, "Kendou, why did you lie about being in a relationship with Midoriya?! All of you, going around and sleeping with each other without any regards to the consequences -"

"Iida," Itsuka interrupted him calmly, leaning forward slightly, "why are you so bent up about this?"

"H-huh?!"

"Like - you're freaking out way more than the situation demands," Itsuka raised her eyebrow, while the other girls nodded in agreement and gave him skeptical looks, "so why are you so angry about this?"

"Wha -?! I'm not angry! Not - well, maybe a little, but - I -" Tenya stuttered, trying to find his answer, and then finally let out a low groan, turning around and putting his hands on his hips. For a second, the room was silent, before Tenya let out another sigh.

"... do you all know about the rumors?"

Izuku and the girls blinked, glancing at each other, and then back to the bespectacled student as he turned back around and gave them a tired, sad look.

"Ever since you moved into this house, Midoriya ..." he let out another exhausted sigh, "... I have had to hear horrible rumors about what was going on in here. I've heard students whispering and laughing about - about how you were - abusing the girls in here, using them for your own entertainment -"

"What?!" Setsuna immediately sat forward, eyes widening in indignation and anger as the other girls looked angry at that, "There's no way Parsley would do anything like that!"

"I know that," Tenya patiently explained, taking off his glasses to rub his eyes, "and I've done my best to dissuade any rumors that I heard. Including the opposite kind of rumors - that the girls in here are using Midoriya for their own entertainment. So when I ... when I heard that you have been - not doing any disgusting thing like the rumors suggested, but -"

"Iida," Izuku said softly, suddenly understanding, "do you ... do you think that ... the girls are using me?"

"I ... no, but -" Tenya sighed again, grabbing his forehead and groaning slightly. "I just ... I'm sorry, but I don't know what's going on here at all. I'm sorry, and I know that none of you are like what I've heard - but Midoriya, you tell me that you lied about being in a relationship with Kendou, and that you are sleeping around with all the girls in here, and I - I jumped to conclusions. I'm sorry. I was angry, and I thought that - that you didn't trust me enough to tell me. When you ... when you told me that you were in a relationship with Kendou, I was relieved, because that meant that I had proof that the rumors were only that - rumors. But now that I learn that you were lying, and that you have been having sexual relationships with all the girls in this house ... and now I can't help but feel that you really don't trust me."

For a second, the house went quiet, no one grimacing awkwardly or giggling slightly anymore at Tenya's reactions. Even Shouto paused in the kitchen to glance back at his friend, frowning. Izuku stared at his friend sadly for a few moments, before letting out a small sigh and leaning forward where he was sitting on the beds amassed in the middle of the room.

"Iida," Izuku sighed, staring up at his best friend, and said, in a quiet voice, "I ... I'm sorry for keeping it from you and Todoroki for so long. I am sleeping with all the girls in this house. That's ... that's true, and ... and I understand that you're worried about us. But ... it's not just sex that we're having."

Tenya blinked, and quickly looked over at Izuku as the boy leaned back slightly, biting his lip before letting out a shuddering breath.

"It's ... it's really complicated to explain. If I - if I tried to tell you about everything that happened in this house since I've moved in, we'd be here all afternoon. But ... but it's not just about sex. I ... I'm not using the girls for my own entertainment, and they're not using me. I'm ... I'm genuinely in love with them."

"What?" Tenya started, quickly looking around at his best friend in shock. "You're in -? With -? All of them?"

"Yeah," Izuku nodded, smiling slightly. "I'm in love with all the girls in this house. I know it - it sounds kind of scummy to say out loud, but it's true. I'm in love with all of them. And they- they know. I've - I've confessed to all of them, and - and it's definitely been a bumpy ride. We've - we've argued, we've fought, we've screamed at each other - but at the end of the day, I love them, and they love me."

Tenya stared at Izuku for a second as though he couldn't believe it, and then quickly looked back up at the girls sitting around the bed on the couches and love seat, all of them nodding slowly.

"All of you - is this true?"

"Yeah," Itsuka nodded, grimacing slightly. "I get where you're coming from, Iida, and if we were just using Izuku for sex, we'd completely understand. And - and we'll admit, the first few weeks here were really rough with that kind of thing. But that isn't what's going on anymore. We're long past that. We're all ... we'll be honest, and it's a bit embarrassing to admit, but we're all looking at each other in ... less than platonic ways. We're definitely not using him to get our kicks in."

"Yes," Ibara nodded, "this isn't about something so vulgar, Iida."

"We actually like him," Setsuna confirmed, "like - we all wanna get together with him."

"It's a little complicated," Yui nodded along, "but yes. There's ... well, for lack of a better word, there's actual romance going on in this house."

"I know that you must be worried about rumors, Iida, and how they would affect us," Ibara explained patiently to the taken aback class representative, "but this is not just about sex. We all have feelings for Izuku, and he has feelings for all of us. We're sorry that you felt like Izuku didn't trust you, but if we were being honest, very few people actually know what was actually going on in here. Only the girls in 1A know. We ... we are sorry about lying to you before. We were scared that the more people we tell, the easier it'll be to get out."

For a few moments, the room was silent, with Tenya slowly going over the confessions he heard from the girls and mulling over them. And then, he pursed his lips, straightened his back, and let out a sigh.

"I ... I owe you all an apology," Tenya quickly sank into a bow, surprising the girls and Izuku. "I ... made assumptions about the state of the relationships in this house, and jumped to conclusions without hearing the full story. I let my fear of the rumors I heard cloud my judgement, and how I know that none of you are actually like that. As such, I am sorry, and I hope you can forgive me."

Izuku stared at his friend in shock for a few moments, before he quickly waved his hands frantically, "No, no, it's okay, Iida. We get it, you jumped to assumptions, but it's -"

"No, it's not. I - if we are being honest, Midoriya, I have insulted you and all the girls here." Tenya looked ashamed of himself. "From how I spoke to you all when I entered this house, I realize that I accused the girls of being unclothe, and insulting not only them, but you as well. I am not naïve, Midoriya - I suspected all along that you were secretly in a relationship with someone in this house, ever since you moved in. But ... but my reaction was too much, and it doesn't give me the right to look down on all of you for what you do in your spare time. I am sorry."

Izuku blinked, and shared a glance with the girls. For the most part, they all looked unsure for a moment before letting out tiny sighs and shrugging, giving Izuku a small smile and a nod. Itsuka, for her part, also glanced at Tenya bowing down low, and felt an indulgent smile on her face. It definitely wasn't like Monoma, who accused the girls of being sluts and whores in fits of anger - it was clear that Tenya, underneath the awkwardness and flailing, was concerned for them based off the rumors he had heard. It was a lot easier to take it easier on Tenya who obviously showed remorse for losing his cool - that, and now she had to find out who exactly was spreading rumors about them.

"It's alright, Iida," She kindly assured her fellow class representative, causing him to glance up at them from his bow, "we get that you're just being concerned. It's okay, we don't think you're looking down on us."

"Are you sure?" Tenya glanced around again, "I have insulted you all today, so to make up for my foolishness, I could do something to assist you all in this household. A chore, perhaps? Washing the dishes? Anything like that!"

"Oh, no, that's -"

"The lawn," Yui said immediately, pointing out the window, "please cut the lawn, and you'll be forgiven."

"No," Itsuka said sternly, unable to suppress her smirk as Yui quickly glared at her girlfriend, "because that's your job this week. It's okay, Iida, you don't need to -"

"The lawn!" Tenya clapped his hands together, straightening up from his bow and filling his face with determination. "I'll do that posthaste!"

"O-oh no, seriously, you don't have to -!" Ibara tried to assure him, raising her hand, but Tenya was already zooming out the door, closing it sharply behind him. The girls, plus Izuku and Shouto returning from the kitchen with his hand in a box, stared at the door and let out small sighs.

"I … suppose he's going to do it anyway." Ibara said, sounding a bit defeated as she lowered her hand back down onto the couch, "Even if he doesn't have to."

"Hooray." Yui waved her arms unenthusiastically, and Itsuka gave her a slight punch on the arm.

"Hey!" Setsuna suddenly sat up, eyes widening with outrage when she saw what Shouto was munching on, and pointed dramatically at him. "Those are my dino-crackers!"

"Mm-hm." Shouto nodded, taking another handful and tossing them into his mouth. "They're very good."

Setsuna was quick to dislodge her hand and send it flying quickly over to snatch the box out of Shouto's hand, bringing it back to her own the couch and hugging the crackers to her chest, giving Shouto a glare while he shrugged.

"I'll admit, I'm surprised at what's going on in here too," he moved to sit down on the mattresses with Izuku welded together by Awase, glancing up at the girls with an innocent look, "but I don't really mind either way. If you guys and Midoriya are happy, that's good enough for me. At least you guys got some use out of the condoms."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"... condoms?" Ibara squeaked, which made Ochako, Tsuyu and Shouto look over to her with raised eyebrows. "What condoms?"

"... the condoms Midnight left in the mailbox?" Ochako asked, feeling a blush come to her cheeks when she saw the eight of them start to pale. "She - she left condoms in everyone's mailboxes, even ours. Did you guys not …?"

The seven girls, plus Izuku, stared blankly at Ochako for a few moments, and then slowly, Itsuka stood up from the couch, maneuvering herself across the makeshift large bed towards the front of the house, and slowly opened the front door, stepping out and glancing around the front porch. Seeing the mailbox on the other side of the porch where they never went, Itsuka walked over to it, leaving the girls in silence listening to the sound of Tenya starting up the lawnmower, and then Itsuka slowly reentered the house quietly while holding a pink box, shutting the front door quietly and staring at the back of the box of condoms.

"... these expired two months ago." Itsuka said informatively, nodding subtly, and then walked over to the trash can, opening it with her foot and threw the box in.

"Kero - how kinky," Tsuyu nodded, unfazed while Ochako blushed red. "I don't suppose you guys -"

"We all take birth control," Yui immediately nipped that conversation in the bud, seeing Shouto and Izuku glancing around awkwardly and blushing, "so no problems for us."

"R-right," Ochako nodded, blushing, and muttered, "honestly, thank god for Nejire."

"A-anyway," Shouto cleared his throat, trying to control his own blush as he turned to look at Izuku. "You told us about your relationship status with the girls - but why?"

"Huh?"

"I mean," Shouto shrugged, "thank you for finally trusting us with that information - but I'm not sure that was exactly why you told us. Nor why you wanted to talk to me in particular."

"O-oh," Izuku remembered, and realized that he was now in front of the girls. He gulped a bit, and then let out a small sigh. "Er … okay, uh ..."

Shouto raised his eyebrows, while Izuku struggled with how exactly to phrase his question, and then he let out a small, defeated sigh, and leaned forward slightly to mutter, "Can we talk privately?"

The bi-colored boy blinked, but still nodded, and glanced at the girls giving them skeptical glances.

"He wants to talk to me alone." He pointed at Izuku, who squeaked and went red at being outed like that, and the girls giggled.

"We kinda figured," Itsuka shrugged, letting out a small sigh as she stood up to stretch. "Okay! Izuku, you and Todoroki go do your thing. We still need to go get ready for the slumber party."

"Yes," Reiko nodded at last, getting up off her seat after being quiet for that whole conversation, and turned to look at her friends. "We're going to go out and get all the snacks for tonight. What are you guys going to do?"

"I'm going out back to train," Itsuka shrugged, moving around the couch to grab her boxing gloves, "and you guys?"

"I'll be in my room!" Setsuna hopped up, stretching slightly, while Pony's gaze flickered to her and felt her cheeks go a bit red.

"Alright," Reiko nodded, and turned to the small group around her. "I'm going to grab my purse. Let's go get some chocolate."

It was with that the large gathering was dispersed, now that the problem of Tenya finding out about what was going on in the Class 1B girls' dorm house was resolved favorably. Izuku and Shouto left the house first, with Izuku waving bye to the girls and promising to see them tonight. Behind him went Ochako and Tsuyu, chatting about sitting Tenya down to talk more about the rumors (Ochako had been quite quiet during that little reveal, feeling anger burning in her chest at the thought of Izuku being mocked). Then went Reiko, Yui, Kinoko and Ibara to go grab some chips, drinks, and other candy for the slumber party tonight. Itsuka chuckled, and moved to go out back, grabbing her boxing gloves and moving down the hall.

Setsuna stretched, happy to go up to her room and nap a little before the slumber party tonight, and moved to go up the stairs -

"Um."

Setsuna faltered in her step, blinking, and looked quickly around. Standing there behind her was Pony, clearing her throat awkwardly and glancing left and right. By now, they were the only ones left in the house, everyone else gone, and Setsuna blinked when she saw a tinge of pink on the horse girl's cheeks.

"Er ... hey, Pony," Setsuna chuckled, moving off the first step of the stairs so that they were on the same level again. "What's up?"

"Um - I was -" Pony cleared her throat, glancing away again as her cheeks grew redder and redder, and Setsuna raised her eyebrow -

- until she remembered what they had discussed this morning. Setsuna blinked, and then felt a more natural smirk grace her lips.

"... do you want me to teach you how to kiss now?" She guessed.

Pony squeaked at that, continuing to stare at the floor with her blush turning her face redder and redder -

- until she timidly nodded.

"Okay then," Setsuna nodded slowly, and reached her hand out to take Pony's, "let's go make out, then."
