The next morning, both Midoriya and Uraraka seemed to have an incandescent glow about them. The class couldn't help but take notice. The class couldn't comprehend how they could be so chipper. They still had to serve six more days of punishment at the hands of Aizawa-Sensei, yet they were beaming. Suspicion brewed amongst their classmates and being teenagers, they couldn't resist the temptation of uncovering their dirty little secrets.

"Yo Midoriya!" Kirishima walked up and patted him on the back. "How are you feeling today huh? Tired after all that hard work yesterday I'm sure!"

Midoriya laughed confidently, which his class found off-putting. Confidence and Midoriya just didn't seem to mix. Nervous, anxious, jittery; these were all words that came to mind when Midoriya was in question. Sure, he was great with coming through during a pinch but his sudden change in attitude practically spelled out that something was going on.

"Yeah, it was pretty tough but I gave it my all and managed to complete yesterday's list. Hopefully, I can do the same today." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. He immediately caught himself in his fit of zealousness and decided to tone it down before someone picked up on it. He didn't realize; however, that he was too late.

"Oi, Deku! What's with that dumbass grin you're sporting today?" Everyone knew that Bakugou wasn't a chump. He could read through situations better than some of the most analytical individuals despite being both egocentric and impatient. The thought of Bakugou figuring him out sent chills through his spine and he quickly reverted to his usual self.

"N-n-nothing Kacchan!" He stuttered and quivered at his aggression. "I-I'm sorry!" He bowed his head so fast he actually slammed it on his desk. This prompted everyone to look in his direction, embarrassing him. He wouldn't lift his head to reveal his red cheeks or the imprint of his desk on his forehead.

Kaminari shrugged. "Guess he hasn't changed a bit!" The guys laughed.

The girls were busy trying to snatch up some juicy gossip from the radiant Uraraka before homeroom. It was to no avail because Uraraka simply gave them the run around in her answers.

"So, you mean to tell me that you're just in a good mood today Uraraka-San?" Kyouka asked suspiciously.

"Yes of course, why wouldn't I be?" Uraraka furrowed her brow sassily.

"You seemed utterly exhausted last night and you didn't go to bed until like, reaaally late Ura-San. I don't understand how you have so much energy. I'm drained and I went to bed at like, the same time and I didn't have to do that crazy list!"

The girls all agreed that Mina had a legitimate point and wanted to pursue further. Before they could do so, Aizawa-Sensei made his entrance.

"Geez, do you kids realize that it's too early for your optimism?"

He looked at his two victims and felt as though something was off. They seemed just a little too happy for his liking. 'Their appearance should be more akin to mine' he was referring to his lazy demeanor and his lifeless eyes. He decided that he would look into it at a later time as he had more important things to worry about.

Class ended for the day and their classmates still had questions that wanted answers to. Most notable was that the two of them kept stealing glances at each other over the course of the whole day and there was a different kind of tension between them. Everyone in the room could feel it.

Aizawa handed both teenagers their lists for the day. The list had at least an additional ten tasks from yesterday's list much to their dismay.

"Problem?" He asked them with a smirk playing at his lips. He thought if he tweaked their punishment a bit, it would snuff out any lingering flames of passion.

"N-no, not at all!" Midoriya chimed as he scanned his list top to bottom. 'This is getting absurd' he thought but if it was the path to becoming a hero then so be it. He was just worried he'd eventually suffer the ramifications trying to have his cake and eat it too. When his dirty teenage mind made the cake analogous to Uraraka-San, his face lit up a deep shade of red. Aizawa simply pegged it as panic due to his extended list of duties and shrugged it off.

"Get to it if you want to beat curfew." He called as he walked away.

"God, this sucks!" Uraraka pouted looking over at Midoriya. He couldn't help but admire her cute cheeks. It made her look so undeniably adorable and he just wanted to plaster them with kisses.

"It'll be okay Uraraka-San." He shot her a weak smile that was so contagious that she could help but return it.

There was so much they wanted to say and do to each other but with so many prying eyes and ears they had to try and remain as discrete as possible.

A couple of their classmates (Kaminari, Mineta, Tooru, Mina) were hiding behind a large tree not far from the couple, trying desperately to eavesdrop, hoping for even a little bit of information. They couldn't hear anything but they noticed that Uraraka leaned close to Midoriya and said something that made him turn a whole other shade of red they'd never seen before and his body stiffened like a board.

"So, Deku-Kun…are we meeting in the showers tonight or not?" She smiled lustfully at her question.

Midoriya was shivering at how close she was and the gentle warmth of her breath against the side of his face.

"I, I, I – "

"You sound like a broken record!" she giggled. "I'll see you this evening Deku-Kun." She gave him a big smile and waved lovingly as she walked away.

Over behind the tree, the group was distraught.

"No hug, no kiss, no anything?!" Mineta exclaimed in disappointment. "We should've taken Shouji."

"That'd never work. He's just way too bulky." Kaminari retorted.

"I guess they just don't want to show and public displays of affection. Especially since they're in such big trouble with Aizawa-Sensei." Tooru replied.

"Didn't stop the two of them from coming down from the roof looking like a newlywed couple after a night of drinking!" Kaminari couldn't help but laugh at his own words.

"I mean at least they have some shame now" sighed Tooru.

"Oh, hush Tooru, lusty fun is the best fun!" Mina pumped her fist in approval.

"AYE!" Mineta rejoiced only to be punched by Tooru.

"You're siding with Mineta, Mina, you should be ashamed of yourself!"

They all laughed and went back to their dorms.

A strong sense of Deja vu rushed over their friends as the couple repeated their end-of-the-day encounter from last evening almost identically. It earned the hearty laughter of their peers. They looked over in curiosity.

"What's so funny guys?" Midoriya asked, still panting heavily.

The class just waved dismissively, implying that it wasn't important.

"Oh, and I still haven't found Midnight-Sensei's cat."

"Still?! And how is that even a chore?!"

"I-I don't know."

"I hate to interrupt your comedic display you two" Iida chimed in. "It is quite close to curfew and I suggest that you clean up and then lights out. Also, Midoriya-San, may I have a word with you for a moment?"

Midoriya tried his best to swallow his anxiety as he walked into the hallway with his friend.

"Where were you last night?"

"Where was I? I showered and went to bed."

"What time did you start showering?"

"I don't know, around 10:10 PM I guess."

"Ah. I waited for you on our floor last night." Midoriya felt the bead of sweat trickle down his face. "You mean to tell me that you showered for at least an hour and seventeen minutes?"

Midoriya looked up at him puzzled "an hour and seventeen minutes?"

"That was how long I waited before deciding I needed to get some rest myself."

"Oh."

"That is a gross misuse of water Midoriya-San. It is both costly and harmful to the environment. Behave a little more responsibly next time!"

Midoriya sighed a breath of relief at this statement. He thanked God that Iida was so pure that he hadn't considered any lewd possibilities.

"I'm sorry Iida-San, it won't happen again!"

"Good." Iida expression was still serious as he walked past him. Midoriya felt a firm hand on his shoulder as he walked by. It was a hand of disappointment.

'Iida knows.'
