~Friday morning, everyone met up at the campus, they were able to ask to borrow the bus, they'd be heading to a secluded resort in the middle of a forest with springs.~

Everyone was still a bit tired from the food festival the night before, Mineta made an attempt at sitting next to Shizuko but she sent him flying to the back of the bus, his balls getting stuck to the back window. She sat on her own since she told Izuku that he could sit with Ochaco.

In the middle of the trip. Kirishima was of course sitting near the back with Denki and Bakugo. Mineta had been knocked out so he wouldn't get on the girls nerves.

Most of them had gone to their small groups and Shizuko was listening to some music, cuddling the new bunny plush without shame.

Meanwhile in the back. Denki noticed Kirishima glancing at Shizuko. He nudged him "Hmm hmm, does our cute little Eiji-kun have an interest in a pretty girl." He blushed and looked down.

"Uh well...I don't-" Kirishima was a little flustered. Bakugo had been feigning to be asleep, and woke up in a burst to tell them to shut up and pushed Kirishima from the seat telling him to just go talk to her already, watching him blush was painful.

They weren't exactly surprised by Bakugo's anger, but the fact that even he noticed and told him to go talk to her already. Kirishima was a bit startled too. Hearing Bakugo mutter under his breath about him not being manly and shit. The boy just stared at him, waiting to see what he would do.

"Well I guess...I'm gonna go see if I can sit by her." He grinned, feeling the nervousness set at the pit of his stomach. He walked over to her seat which was in the middle, Midoriya was a few seats forward on the opposite side and it seemed like he and Ochaco had fallen asleep on each other.

He noticed Shizuko was using the bunny plushie as a pillow. He kind of leaned close.

"Hey...uh Shizu what're you listening to.." She didn't hear him so he rested his hand on her shoulder, oh he could feel all the boys looking, he knew Bakugo was glancing that way too, and Mineta's glare. Some of the girls kind of noticed too. She wasn't too startled, she just hadn't heard him. She took off an ear phone and her golden hues met his ruby red eyes. A bit of a blush rose on her cheeks.

"Oh uh..Eiji-kun. Sorry, want to join me?" He smiled and sat down next to her, she put the plushie on her lap and looked down, trying to hide her own blush. "Oh umm here, want to listen?" She handed him an earphone, cleaning it before handing it to him. They bonded over the music she had, of course coming from abroad she had a lot of different music.

She got a text from her brother, Kirishima kind of glancing.

-Text from Twin Brother Izuku: Hey, you okay sis, or is Kirishima bothering you.-

Kirishima glanced up to see the back of Deku's head but he is sure he just missed an unsure stare.

-Text to Twin Brother Izuku: Eiji-kun is ok, but I am just he'd help keep the other boys away. xP Thank you for worrying Niisan, you and Ochaco Neechan look cute.-

Well Kirishima was blushing, and Izuku looked back at her just as she glanced up and saw him blushing, Shizu grinning and giving him a thumbs up. She giggled and looked at Kirishima who glanced back at Deku and now back at Shizu.

She smiled sweetly at him, a bit of a blush on her cheeks at her moment of audacity. She kind of raised her plushie to her face to cover it. He chuckled with his sharp shark teeth showing. "You really liked that bunny plushy, huh." She lowered it a bit, her golden eyes peeking from between the bunny's ears.

"W..well yea...not only did I get it the first time i went out with my brother and all his friends...but Eiji-kun gave me this plushie."

He blushed, oh shit oh shit. "Oh shit….thats cute." He couldn't hold it in and kind of bit his lip almost causing it to bleed. She raised the plushie to his face so she pressed it against his face then sat back and held it in her arms again. "Y- you're cute too Eiji-kun." They both kind of sat back blushing, listening to music. Their hands slowly reached to hold each other, but not acknowledging that they were holding hands.

They had both dozed off, Shizu leaning against Kirishima's shoulder and Kirishima on her head. They finally arrived at their destination. Kirishima woke up as soon as he felt the bus stop. He nudged Shizu. "Wakey wakey sleepy bunny, before everyone see's you drooling on my shoulder." She woke up, wiping her mouth and hitting him with the bunny on the head. He laughed, everyone passing by them.

"Sorry could't help myself." He grinned that toothy grin of his. They got up to see the beautiful mountain view and the small private resort owned by Momo's family. It was run by a family that stayed nearby and was exclusive to Momo's family so they would get to rest.

The boys and girls parted ways of course, All the guys had their own large room and all the girls their own. They all put on their plain yukatas in the old japanese style.

~Meanwhile in the boys room.~

"Hey Kirishima, so what'd you and Shizuko talk about." Mineta was trying to stir the pot. "You both looked so lovey I was Deku id be angry for you getting so close to my cute sister." And that earned him a good kick from Bakugo.

"Hey! Balls for brains no instigating, we are here to relax aren't we." Most of the boys were getting ready to go to the baths, before dinner.

Deku just laughed a bit remembering her text. "Actually I already know my sister can take care of herself, I'd be worried if she didn't like Kirishima and he came on to her. I am sure she would've sent you flying." He nudged Kirishima, knowing full well his sister didn't need his protection, and that Kirishima was probably the sweetest guy there next to Koda.

Mineta let it go. They'd only just realized they don't know what Deku's sister has as a quirk. They were also kind of surprised Deku was so chill about Kirishima showing interest in his sister.

The springs were of course separated by gender. For good measure Mineta was already taken care of by some rope and a floatie so he could enjoy the spring but not climb the wall. It was pretty relaxing, the girls getting to know each other and relax, and the boys getting to chill as well. Kirishima and Shizuko excused themselves a bit early from the hot springs. As they made their way in and put on their robes they walked out at the same time. She was still a bit flushed from having been in the hot springs, of course she was not used to it. When she saw him, a bit more blood than necessary rushed to her head and she almost fainted but of course Kirishima was there to catch her as she faltered. "Oh Eiji-kun...thank you." Her cheeks were a bit red, now against his bare chest.

"Are you ok, Shizu?" He looked concerned at her.

She stood properly, smiling gently. "Yea just not used to hot springs...you look really handsome with your hair down." She smiled as they walked side by side to their respective rooms. Eventually they would all change into their robes for dinner. It was a large smorgasbord for all 21 of them. The boy probably pigged out the most, it was really fun eating with everyone.

"So Shizuko, how are you liking Japan so far?" Her brother, next to her, asked her. He was very happy to have her with him, he'd been absolutely ecstatic that she was coming to visit and knew his mom was too. To think she hadn't seen her daughter in more than 10 years.

"Oh I am loving it very much niisan. And I am so happy to get to spend quality time with everyone."

She was trying to get an item that was a bit far in the middle of talking and out of having gravitated it toward her. It had been in front of Mineta and he freaked out.

"Ghost!" Everyone screamed, they could tell it wasn't Hagukure since it went across the entire table and it stayed hovering in front of Shizuko.

She laughed a bit embarrassedly "Oh crap, sorry guys. That was me.I have our mom's quirk, telekinesis, although its been honed to be used as a hero since I was a child. I go to the hero school in the states." Everyone was interested and asked her to show her quirk a bit more. They didn't need to know the details of her other quirk, it was rare to manifest two like Todoroki. The dinner was definitely enjoyable.

They finally finished and went to rest in their rooms. Shizuko decided to take a break and walk the grounds, since it was so nice and quiet. She wore a warm blanket around her, finding bench by a tree next to the lake. Kirishima noticed her walking out and let the guys know he was going to take a walk as well.

He walked up behind her. "Hey Shizu, mind if I join you?" The green haired girl looked back at him and a blanketed arm motioned for him to join her. She moved her arm to let him join her in the blanket. He put an arm around her shoulders. She felt so warm and safe in his arms. She felt her cheeks get hot.

"You are so warm Eiji kun." He had been looking up at the moon but faced down to meet her golden gaze. The stars making her eyes glimmer like a golden treasure. A green bang fell before her eyes and he moved a hand to tuck it behind her ear. The world seemed to stop in that moment.

He didn't pull his hand away and instead rested it on her cheek. He leaned down, his lips close to hers. "Can I kiss you…"

One of her hands rested on his as she pulled it down, tilting her chin up so that their lips met. His hand moved so his fingers wove into her loose green hair. Her tongue breached between his lips. His inexperienced tongue moving against hers as she wrapped her tongue around his and sucked on it gently, earning her a small groan. She blushed more, deciding to pull away then, they were both blushing furiously, a little breathless from their kiss.

She bit her lower lip gently. "Umn… that was a yes if you couldn't tell." She moved her hand from his and she retucked her hair behind her ear.

"Yea that was definitely a yes, and I humbly accept." He chuckled softly, holding her close as he stared at the stars for a bit more. After a few minutes they realized it would be smarter to head back before it got too late. He walked her to the girls room. She stood before the door and turned to face him. He was just tall enough for her to look up at him, she would reach up to run her hand through his loose red hair and tuck it behind his ear, slightly guiding him down for a kiss. This his hand resting on the back of her neck as they held their lips together, time holding for a moment and very aware of every breath. They pulled away, their eyes connected. She smiled at him. "Good night Eiji-kun..."

He blushed, smiling softly as she snuck back into the room, "Sweet dreams...bunny." He turned around as she closed the door, feeling his heart beating wildly in his chest.

Luckily for both of them everyone had been asleep when they got to their rooms. It was hard to sleep after feeling something so deeply, but they fell into a gentle slumber.
