The Sano siblings sat in the canteen to eat breakfast with Hitoshi, as per usual.

"How are you feeling this morning?" Hitoshi asked.

"My head hurts." She whined. "Those Heroes are so loud!"

"Having enhanced senses have their disadvantages I take it."

She rolled her eyes. "It's particularly annoying when you hear a couple's conversation and you just know one of them is lying. I just want to jump in, but I can't without them knowing my quirk."

Momo and Kyoka entered the cafeteria.

"Look, it's Sano." Kyoka pointed out.

"Let's sit with her." Momo picked out what she wanted to eat and led the way to the table.

Natsume looked to see Momo and Kyoka from class 1A heading towards them. "Morning!" He smiled.

Kahoko looked up to see the girls sitting side by side next to Hitoshi in front of her and Natsume. "Hello?"

"Morning, Sano!" Momo smiled. "Thought we'd sit with you this morning, are you alright with that?"

Kahoko shrugged. "No skin off my nose." She rubbed her temple.

"Got a headache? Here…" Kyoka took out some pain killers. "Have these."

Kahoko gave Hitoshi a wary look.

He nodded.

She took them. "Thank you."

"Coming through!" Katsuki put his tray next to Kahoko's and sat down.

"Morning, Bakugo." Kahoko gave him one of her show stopping smiles.

Momo stared as a flush of red crept up Katsuki's face. He's blushing again! She gave a giggle.

Katsuki cleared his throat. "Morning."

Hitoshi looked between the two.

"Morning…"

Kahoko looked up to see Shoto and Deku sit with them too. She met Shoto's gaze.

He gave her a reassuring smile. "Sano."

She felt an unexpected rush of heat to her ears and cheeks. "Hey." She managed to speak. She focused her attention back to her food.

Hitoshi's eyes widened a bit. Okay… I've never seen her get flustered like that because of somebody saying her name before. He looked to Shoto to see him trying to hide a small smirk. "So, what brings class A to our lonely little table this morning?" He asked. "I expected Bakugo… but the rest of you?"

"Just thought we'd hang out, since our little introduction yesterday." Kyoka replied, taking a bite of her waffle. "You're always seen either alone or with this guy, so we thought you could use some more company."

Katsuki leaned a little towards Kahoko. "I came here for some decent company… but these nerds followed me."

Kahoko turned her head to look at him.

Katsuki was too close and their lips brushed against each other.

Kahoko jumped away, covering her mouth.

Katsuki went from cool and collected to a hot red mess.

Hitoshi began to laugh. "Oh no, now you're in trouble, Bakugo."

Katsuki glared at the violet hair boy. "What do you mean?!"

"Was that your first kiss?"

"I guess but it wasn't exactly a kiss…" He covered his mouth. I was supposed to say no…

"How pretty is Kaho, on a scale between one and ten?"

"You can't put a number on how pretty she is…" Katsuki couldn't hold his tongue. I wanted to say she's alright… why am I saying the first thing that comes into my head? He looked to Kahoko, who was covering her face.

"Sorry… just go and hide for thirty minutes." She said behind her hands.

Deku looked to Hitoshi. "What happened?"

Hitoshi smirked. "Her quirk. They kissed… now he can't lie for half an hour."

Everyone looked at the shy girl, who nodded.

"Why do you think she covers her mouth?" Natsume dead-panned.

Hitoshi was having far too much fun in this moment. "So, Bakugo… she tastes good, right?"

"Hitoshi… zip it…" Kahoko moved her hands away from her face to give him her infamous death glare.

"Yeah… like peppermint." Katsuki covered his mouth. "Damn it!"

Momo raised a brow. "Let me guess, you've kissed her before." She eyed Hitoshi.

"You bet. If I remember correctly, I was the first…"

Smack!

Hitoshi's eyes widened as he stared at the green-eyed beauty who had just taken her hand across his cheek.

Kahoko stood up. "I told you to stop."

Natsume looked up at his sister. "Kaho-nee?" Oh no, she's mad. He caught sight of a tear daring to escape.

"C'mon, let's get your stuff and get you to the staff office." She petted his head. She looked back to Katsuki. "You'll be fine after half an hour. Please don't tell people what my quirk can do, I'd rather keep it to myself." She gave Hitoshi a warning look before walking off.

Natsume stood up and turned to Hitoshi. "You embarrassed her in front of people that she liked. Not cool, Hitoshi-nii. You say you want her to make friends then do that? If Tama-nii was here, you'd be sorry." He followed after Kahoko.

The entire table sat in silence.

Deku watched the silver-blue haired girl and her brother walk out of the cafeteria. "Maybe you went too far." He voiced.

Hitoshi groaned, rubbing his sore cheek. "I probably did. She's not used to too much attention. I thought this bit of comic relief would put her at ease, but it only pissed her off. She must care about you, Bakugo, if she got mad at me for embarrassing you." He added.

"Her brother turned from a little cutie into the devil in a matter of seconds." Momo voiced. "He looked as though he wanted to punch you too."

"He can pack a heavy punch too, so I'm glad he kept his cool. Kaho didn't hold back though. That hurt."

Shoto shook off his shock and cleared his throat. "Sano's quirk, it would do wonders for the police." Definitely don't wanna get on the wrong side of her.

"She's like the three monkeys… Hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil. She has enhanced hearing and sight, she can tell if a person is lying just by looking at them, she can pick up small gestures and hear irregularities in breathing and heartbeats." Hitoshi explained, seeing no point in keeping everything a secret from them.

Katsuki's eyes widened a little. She could hear my heartbeat?!

"That's fantastic! How come she's not in the Hero Course?" Deku asked.

"Because, unlike you guys, she can't use her quirk in physical combat. She's a skilled fighter, but only through taking mixed martial arts classes and building her body strength. That scarf is made of the same material as Mr Aizawa's, it's indestructible, and believe me when I say she knows how to use it."

"You know so much about her." Momo said. "It's kinda sweet she has someone to go to."

"I've known her and her brothers since we were kids."

"I kinda feel bad for her though, firstly she'll end up having to kiss villains… and secondly, if she gets a boyfriend, she'll be scared to kiss him!" Kyoka sighed.

"There's the catch, it only works once per person. For example, she can kiss me all she wants, and I wouldn't be obliged to speak the truth."

"So… if Bakugo kisses her…?"

"Kiss and Tell won't come into effect." Hitoshi confirmed. "But… she'll still pick up when he's lying and let me tell you… she'd be able to make you spit out the truth in other ways. She may be shy, but if she wants to know something, she'll find out."

"Those eyes… look straight through you, I don't think I could lie to her if I tried…" Katsuki blushed crimson.

Everyone looked at him, completely forgetting that he was under Kahoko's quirk.

Shoto watched Katsuki. Idiot… He suppressed a smile. Although… he's right about her eyes… I don't think I could lie either.

Deku looked around at everybody. So, this is the Kahoko Sano effect…?

Kahoko's parents had picked up Natsume as promised and apologised to her by giving her a new journal to write about her life in UA and the dorms.

She was sat in class next to Hitoshi. She hadn't said a word to him since breakfast.

He leaned over to her. "I'm sorry, Kaho… forgive me?" He pouted. "I just wanted to lighten the mood."

She met his gaze. "You embarrassed me."

"I didn't mean to. I was trying to embarrass Bakugo, yes, but I didn't want to upset you. You know how important you are to me, I don't like you ignoring me." He moved his chair closer to her desk. "You still have a killer slap."

Her eyes softened, she reached out and brushed his red cheek. "Sorry." She leaned in, so her forehead touched his fondly.

He closed his eyes and exhaled. Thank goodness. But seriously Kaho, do you have to smell so good?!

"Seriously! Get a room, guys!" One of their class mates called across the room.

The two jumped apart, forgetting that they were in class. They shared a look and began to laugh.

No matter what happened, Kahoko couldn't find it in her to be mad at Hitoshi for too long.

Katsuki was sat in class, scared to say a word.

"Sorry, Kacchan. I didn't check the time when you kissed Sano, so I dunno how long it's been." Deku bowed his head.

Shoto checked his watch. "Well, class only just started, how about we time it from there? Then we can't go wrong."

Deku nodded in agreement.

Eijiro leaned towards Katsuki. "So, are you gonna sit with Sano at lunch time?"

"I sure hope so." Katsuki mumbled.

Deku looked to Shoto. "Yeah, he's still under the effect." Deku said in a low voice.

Eijiro raised a brow. "What do you mean?"

Deku shook his head. "Nothing! Just mumbling."

Eijiro shrugged. "So, I've been meaning to ask you, do you have a crush on her or what?"

Katsuki blushed. "No! Of course not! She's just cool."

Deku smirked.

Shoto raised a brow.

Katsuki's eyes widened. I lied…

Deku cleared his throat. "Remind me, Kacchan. What is the colour of Sano's eyes?"

Katsuki frowned but soon realised what Deku was doing. "Blue?" Katsuki cheered before turning to glare at his childhood friend. "Why ask me that one!?" He snarled.

Deku laughed.

Shoto sighed, his mind wondered to the girl's green eyes, the way that they looked straight through him and broke down his walls, and the way that they lit up when she smiled. He shook his head. What's gotten into me?

Deku pulled out his hero journal and began to jot down what he found out about Kahoko's ability.

"You still write in that?" Shoto asked.

Deku nodded. "It helps me train, by watching other heroes work and learning how their quirks work."

"Sano wants her quirk to remain a secret." Katsuki grabbed the journal. "You should wait until she's comfortable for it to be public before you write it in something that anyone can read." He tore out the page that had a mere three lines written down and burned it before throwing the book back at the dark-haired boy.

"Wow…" Deku breathed.

"We found out by a mishap. The fact that Shinso trusts us enough to know the depths of it is proof that we've gained at least his trust in us and maybe a little bit of hers too." He went on.

Shoto nodded. "For once I agree with Bakugo. I mean, we don't have to be her friends but gaining her trust is a good thing, since by the looks of it, she barely trusts anyone beyond her family and Shinso."

"Yeah, you're both right, I just got a little carried away there." Deku put his journal back into his bag.

Eijiro stared at them all. "You know what Sano's quirk is?!" He whispered.

"Yeah, but we're not telling you. If she wants people to know she'll tell them herself." Katsuki sat back in his chair.
