Deku's group took forever to wrap up their shit after fighting Overhaul. That day when it all happened, long before I found out the deeper truths of the whole damn thing from Deku, I spent pretty much the whole night sitting up and feeling awful and trying not to imagine what would happen to them. Ok, Frog face and me weren't exactly close, but I didn't want her hurt. And Uraraka was easily one of the coolest fighters I knew, didn't want her to get thrashed up. Maybe Kirishima wasn't talking to me, but whatever was up he'd sure as hell better be ok.

And dammit, Deku. Again. Always making me worry so damn much.

Finally Ballhead called, "They're back! Everyone, they're back!"

The doors swung open and they walked in. And thank god, for once Deku wasn't in a fucking cast. He actually looked fine.

"Is everyone okay?"

"We saw everything on the news!"

"That looked like some nasty business!"

"We were all super worried!"

"Have some gateau au Chocolat!"

"If it isn't our resident troublemakers"!

"You punks are always coming home after getting caught up in serious stuff!" called Kaminari at Deku and Krisihima. "Stop it! You're scaring us!"

"I'm just glad they're ok," said Tentacles to Ears.

"Ok, yeah. As long as they really are…" she murmured.

"Ochaco! Tsu!" called Invisbile Girl, running forward to hug them.

"Yes, yes, they know we were worried about them!" Glasses interrupted, jumping in between them all and the four. "But calm down! We all saw the broadcast and the extent of what happened! As their classmates, we ought to let them rest their weary spirits! Because it isn't just their bodies. Their spirits have also been worn down by everything that's happened."

"Iida - hey, Iida," said Deku, raising up a hand. "Thanks, but - I'm fine."

Yeah, right. I know your fake ass smiles, Deku. And you're starting to use them more often. And it's not like any of your friends can tell.

"If you're sure," said Glasses, and then shouted. "I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU GUYS, I SWEAR!"

Sugar man was shoving cake into Deku's mouth to cheer him up, and Ponytail called too, "I'll brew some lavender herbal tea! It's jut the thing to help you relax!" and ran off towards the kitchen.

Tape Arms ran over to Kirishima and put an arm around his shoulder. "Why didntch'a say anything? It was such a big shock to all of us!"

"We were under a gag order," Kirishima explained.

"Hey, Kirishima," said Raccoon Eyes, approaching him, holding Koda's rabbit. "You good?"

"Getting there" he smiled at her. She nodded, then held up the bunny for Uraraka and Frog Face to admire.

Huh. Are she and Kirishima close or something? Something we never knew about?

"Whittier sulking about, Kacchan!?"

Kaminari had jumped onto the couch next to me. I wanted to shove him. That's Deku's name for me.

"You were worried too, so come join us! Don't hold back!"

"Bedtime." I snapped, settling for pushing him aside and heading off to bed.

"This early? Are you an old man?"

"You have nothing at all to say to them?" Tail asked.

"Unlike you people, I don't have that much time on my hands."

At least Deku's not in bandages this time. But I'll bet more shit happened out there than he's gonna talk about.

"No one walks in front me!" I shouted at IcyHot as we left for lessons that next morning.

"Poor Mr. Aizawa," IcyHot muttered. "Having to come with us after all that's happened…"

"Do I look like I wanna make small talk!?"

"C'mon, I mean…" He suddenly stopped.

"BAD BOYS! YOU'RE LATE!"

"Present Mic and…All Might," IcyHot mumbled as we came up to them.

"We'll be your chaperones today," All Might explained.

"AFTER YESTERDAY'S EVENTS, ERASER'S GONNA BE ABSENT A LOT IN THE COMING DAYS!"

"And why's that?" IcyHot asked.

"IT'S GOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE GIRL THEY RESCUED. THEY NEED HIS QUIRK. SO! YOU GET ALL MIGHT INSTEAD! AND ERASER ASKED ME TO TAG ALONG FOR EXTRA PROTECTION!"

"Being late is a big no no," said All Might. "Get on that bus."

"ON THE ROAD TO YOUR LICENSES! HOP, STEP, HERE WE GO!"

It was another weird bus ride with All Might again, and Mic being loud and trying to get us to talk to each other. We finally arrived and they waved us off, IcyHot sulking the whole time.

"We'll be watching from above!"

"ROCK ON OUT THERE!"

As we arrived, however, I heard a shout that told me today sure as hell wouldn't be quiet.

"HEY! UA!"

That Windbang from the License exam.

"Ooh, who's this? What a specimen!" A girl's voice that I didn't know, a small blonde girl with large brown eyes, in the female counterpart of Yoarashi's uniform. "I'm awestruck, honestly! Getting to take this course with such a handsome man? What a delight! And you seem to know this cutie, Yoarashi! Here's my number." She walked up to Icyhot, and handed me a card with her phone number right there.

"Oh, sure."

"NOBODY BEATS CAMIE WHEN IT COMES TO PLAYING THE FIELD! I COULD LEARN A THING OR TWO!" cried Yaoarashi.

"Hey, baldy," I napped at him, kinda annoyed at being ignored for IcyHot. "This girl wasn't with you last time."

"RIGHT! SHE SURE WASN'T! AND I'M NOT BALD!" he added, taking off his cap.

"Came! That's in poor taste! A Shiketsu student should never behave in such a manner!" MeatBall douchebag was back.

"Meatball!" I growled at him. "Didn't you fail in round one?"

"I received permission to observe as a spectator! This is a learning experience! And the name is Seiji Shishikura!"

Great. Remedial courses with All Might watching, Meatball, and these two weirdos. Could this get any more annoying?
