"words" = English


It's a tradition for the 'Soumei Squad' to go karaoke after the end of term exams— even if they technically aren't Soumei students any more. So when Hibiki broke the door of their classroom down (again) on the last day of school before the holidays yelling 'KARAOKE!!!', Tenya wasn't the least bit surprised.

She was also dragging Shinsou-kun behind her. And later, Akemi decided to rope Midoriya-kun, Uraraka-san and Todoroki-kun into it as well, and so Tenya found all eight of them squished in a Karaoke room, Hiroi belting out some anime opening into the mic and the girls fighting for the remote, while Todoroki-kun and Midoriya-kun sat to the side, not quite sure what to do.

"Figured that I still wouldn't get her." Over the sound of Hiroi's slightly off tune voice, Tenya heard Midoriya mutter, and laughs as Todoroki and Shinsou nods along.

"She's like this." He shrugs, "both her and Hibiki started doing this in middle school and we hadn't stopped since. She wanted to invite you both after the mid terms but since the sports festivals were fast approaching they decided against it and we just went to a cafe instead. Have you been to a karaoke before?"

"never really had friends to go with." Midoriya mutters.

"Me neither." Shinsou-kun shrugs, moving out of the way when Uraraka-san yells in trumph as she'd got the remote.

"...Wasn't allowed." Todoroki-kun looks around, "it's... Loud."

Tenya chuckles. " Don't let Akemi hear that, she'd flip." He glanced at Akemi, who had grabbed the mic from Hiroi and is waiting for her song to come up while chatting away with the two girls. "She's ought to make you sing at some point, do you know any songs?"

"... Memes, I guess, some pop songs." Shinsou-kun answers awkwardly, " you, Midoriya?"

Midoriya looked startled to be addressed, and scratches his head. "Hero movie theme songs? Not a lot. What about you, Todoroki-kun?"

The dual haired teen glances to the side, "my choices are a little... Dark."

Tenya snorts. " You should listen to what Akemi sings." He gastures towards the girl, who is now singing into the mic in an impossibly high note as Uraraka-san stares at her like she's grown two heads.

"—I want to taste consumption, breath faster to waste oxygen, devils hide behind redemption, honesty is a one way gate to Hell—"

They stared for several seconds before turning away. Midoriya looking as if he's a little concerned about Akemi's mental health and Shinsou-kun a little weirded out.

"... Well at least she's not singing Doll House or Mad Hatter, she used to love those." Tenya commented.

"How are you not weirded out?" Shinsou-kun asks, glancing at the passive looking Todoroki-kun.

"This is Akemi we're talking about, if I get weirded out by this, I'm going to be looking at her weird everytime she does something new."
