Tsuyu and Mineta reached the bottom of the seemingly endless pit, a cushioned area that softened her fall.
"UUUUUUUCCCCKKKK! We're okay!" Mineta stood up, flashing his usual thumbs up.
"C'mon, Mineta." Tsuyu stated as she leaped into one of the dozen hallways that were in front of them.
"Wait, Asui-chan! We need to talk!" Mineta ran after her.
Eventually, all the students hit the bottom of the pit, and split up into their separate pairs.
Kirishima x Mina
The two reached their first room, a 1-point room with a gap in the floor. A sign on the wall read:
"Room #38-Contestants must make it past the gap to reach the flag."
"How are we going go get past it? My quirk is useless here." Kirishima put his hand to his head in confusion.
"Hmmm." Mina rubbed her chin before snapping her fingers and grinning. "I got it! If you carry me and sprint, I can use my acid to help you slide along the side of the wall!"
"Holy crap, that might work!" Kirishima pumped his fist in the air. "How do you, uh, want me to carry you?"
Mina gave him the cutest of smiles, and her face blushed a little as she said, "Like a princess."
Kirishima lifted the girl with his arms and hit a dead-sprint towards the side wall. He leaped with all of his strength as Mina sprayed acid onto the wall. Kirishima hardened his side as he slid onto the wall, maneuvering himself to make sure Mina wasn't harmed. Kirishima unhardened as he landed on the floor, placing Mina on her feet.
"That was great!" Mina pumped a fist in the air. "You were great!" The pink girl hugged Kirishima and ruffled his hair again, causing the boy to blush.
"You were more than great, you were amazing!" Kirishima grinned and hugged her back, lifting her up and spinning around.
When he dropped her back on her feet, the two grabbed the flag and headed to the next room.

Izuku x Uraraka
The pair had reached a 10-point room, where a snake-like robot greeted them. It opened its mouth, and blasted a laser in their direction.
"Look out!" Deku tackled her out of the way as the laser sparked against the ground.
"Thank you, Deku." Uraraka stated as the two stood.
"Alright, I think I got a plan-"
"I'll use my quirk to raise it in the air, and you can use yours to destroy it!" Uraraka commanded.
"Oh, okay. Woah!" Deku pulled Uraraka out of the way as another laser flared past him.
"Thanks again, Deku. Now let's go!" Uraraka gave Izuku a courageous smile, filling the boy with confidence.
"R-right!" Izuku smiled confidently back, and the two dashed towards the snakebot.
Uraraka slid on the ground as a laser went past her, and she tapped the tail of the machine. She pressed her fingertips together, and it began to float in the air.
Izuku charged One-For-All in his middle finger, and blasted the robot with his power. The snakebot was blown to bits, and the 10-point flag fell into Izuku's hands.
"Yes!"
"Awesome!" Uraraka ran over to Midoriya, a smile on her face. "We did it, Midoriya!"
Izuku sheepishly smiled as he blushed and said, "I wouldn't have been able to do it without your strategy, Uraraka."
"But it was a team effort, Deku! I couldn't have done it without you!" Uraraka and Deku were face-to-face now, both blushing.
"I guess you're right, Uraraka." Deku and Uraraka were subconsciously closing the gap between them.
"Are we getting closer?" Izuku thought to himself. "Are we about to… To kiss?"
"Me and Deku might actually kiss!" Uraraka thought to herself. "We're actually going to-"
The snake robot's head hissed loudly as the artificial life left it's eyes, snapping Izuku and Ochaco out of it.
"Oh!" Izuku realized where they were. "We should probably go!"
"Y-yeah." Ochaco stammered.
Izuku jogged out of the room as Uraraka looked at him with longing eyes. She sighed and then jogged to catch up to him.

Bakugo x Ibara
Ibara was kneeling on the ground of the 5-point room, praying for good fortune whilst Bakugo was trying to deactivate the fake-bomb.
"WILL YOU HURRY THE HELL UP AND HELP ME OUT HERE!?" Bakugo angrily yelled, punching the ground. "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEACTIVATE THIS FU-"
Ibara's vines covered his mouth as she peacefully stated, "Language, Bakugo."
"GT TS DM TNGS FFF MMM!" Muffled rage oozed out of Bakugo's mouth as Ibara's vines wrapped around the rest of him. She flipped him upside-down and held him mid-air as she extended other vines toward the bomb. They crept into the crevices and cracks, and began dismantling the contraption from the inside. It clunked apart into dozens of pieces, and the 5-point flag stuck out among the metal. Ibara's vines grabbed it and returned to her, placing the flag into her hand as Bakugo continued his muffled screaming.

"That was a simple task, Bakugo." Ibara released the boy, dropping him onto the floor. "The lord has truly blessed us."
"Shut up." Bakugo muttered. "You got lucky, that's all."
Bakugo began to storm off, but Ibara stood in his path. She had a stern look.
"What the hell are you doing? Get out my way!" Bakugo began to charge small explosions, and he got right in Ibara's face.
"Bakugo, we need to discuss things." Ibara stood her ground in front of the boy, not at all scared of Kacchan. "You need to learn tranquility."
"Oh yeah!?" Bakugo was furious now. "SHOW ME TRANQUILITY, YOU STUPID BI-"
Bakugo was immediately silenced when Ibara kissed his cheek. He had paused in a state of rage, his mouth agape.
"Hopefully that has silenced you. Now make haste, we need to continue." Ibara quickly jogged out of the room as Bakugo angrily stuttered.
"BI….BI…"
Mineta x Tsuyu
Mineta and Tsuyu jogged through the long hallway in silence. They stopped when they reached an intersection which split into two separate hallways.
"Left or right, ribbit?" Tsuyu turned to Mineta for an answer.
"Tsuyu, before we go, we need to talk." Mineta walked closer to Tsuyu.
"What is there to talk about?" Tsuyu stood up from her crouched position, standing face-to-face with Mineta.
"Tsuyu, do you like me or something? Because you've been acting weird." Mineta had folded his arms now, raising a sly eyebrow.
"Mineta, you do know that I always speak my mind right?"
"Uh-huh."
Tsuyu rolled her eyes a little before she said, "I like you Mineta. I like you a lot. I think you're pervertedness needs some work, but I think I can keep you straight. But you have no confidence in yourself or your abilities. So I don't think I can like you anymore."
Tsuyu continued on, not noticing Mineta walking closer to her.
"You showed promise as a possible boyfriend, but I've had to make every move. And you've just remained oblivious to it. I might as well-"
Mineta interrupted Tsuyu by quickly pecking her lips then pulling away. "There. Was that good enough for you?"
Tsuyu blinked twice, and then smiled. "That's a start, ribbit." Tsuyu pecked Mineta's cheek, and then began to hop off. "Now c'mon. We've gotta get some points."
"Yes ma'am!" Mineta jogged behind her with a smile.
Narrator
Jiro and Kaminari jogged side by side into the room, examining the area around them. It was an all white room, illuminated by weird lights in the roof. Then, they heard footsteps heading their way from the other doorway from across the room. Tsuyu and Mineta arrived in the room, and also looked around.
"SO, YOU'VE MADE IT TO BATTLE ROOM #21!"Aizawa's voice announced over an unseen intercom. "THE TWO PAIRS INSIDE HERE MUST DUKE IT OUT, AND WHICHEVER ONE WINS WILL RECEIVE THE 50 POINTS! NOW, FIGHT!"
"Sorry about this Mineta!" Kaminari pointed a finger gun at the sticky-haired boy, and blasted a bolt of electricity at Mineta. The boy jumped to the left, narrowly avoiding instant defeat. He plucked two balls from his head, and threw them at Denki, who just zapped them out of the way.
"Mineta, you take Kaminari, I'll take Jiro!" Tsuyu full-power jumped towards Jiro, a determined look on her face.
Mineta and Kaminari were trading ball for bolt, both running in a narrowing circle.
"I'm not gonna let you embarrass me in front of Tsu, Kaminari!" Mineta gritted his teeth and dead-sprinted at Kaminari, throwing ball after ball.
"Wait, what!?" Kaminari opened his mouth in surprise. "You and Asui-chan!? You know what, screw it!" Kaminari began to charge electricity, a smirk forming on his face. "Jiro, I'm gonna take these guys out!"
Tsuyu and Jiro were clashing tongue with earjacks, keeping each other at a distance. Jiro turned and noticed what Kaminari was doing, and angrily yelled, "Kaminari, don't! Mineta's balls can resist your-"
Tsuyu's tongue whacked Jiro in the head, knocking her to the ground. "Augh!"
"It's over, Mineta!" Kaminari began to overload with electricity. "Those 50 points are- What are you doing?!"
Mineta had been forming a circle of sticky balls around Kaminari, stacking them high enough to be level with Kaminari's waist. Mineta's head was bleeding, but he slyly said, "You'll see."
"Whatever!" Kaminari released all of his electricity, zapping…. The balls… The electricity bounced around the wall of sticky balls, completely contained.
"Kaminari, you idiot." Jiro groaned, burying her head in her arms and sighing in annoyance. She sat up and raised her hands, muttering, "I surrender."
The 50-point flag fell from the rooftop, and Tsuyu grabbed it with her tongue. Kaminari was now in his "derp-mode" and put two thumbs-up. Mineta walked over to Tsuyu and flashed her a thumbs-up, one that Tsuyu smiled and blushed at. The two walked outside the room as Jiro walked over to Kaminari and slapped him out of derp-mode.
"Woah! What happened?" Kaminari looked around in confusion.
"You cost us the win, that's what happened!" Jiro grimaced. She grabbed Kaminari by the hair, and pulled him towards the exit. "You better make this up to me!"
"Ow, okay! Kyoka, I-OW!"

Kaminari x Jiro
"Kaminari, you idiot!" Jiro continued to pull Denki by his hair, a look of anger on his face. She stopped when they had reached a 5-point room, one where a fake-bomb waited to be defused.
"What are we doing here?" Kaminari stood and dusted himself off, raising a confused eyebrow at his girlfriend.
"First, you're going to zap that bomb and defuse it!" Jiro pointed at the bomb. "Then, we're gonna make out until I'm not mad at your dunce-self anymore!" She then folded her arms and narrowed her eyes. "Now go!"
"Uh… Okay…. ?" Kaminari walked over to the bomb, discharged some electricity, and deactivated it. He grabbed the flag when it ejected, and then scratched his head.
"Did she say we were going to make out?" Kaminari thought to himself. He turned around while saying, "Jiro, what did you sa-"
Jiro grabbed Kaminari by the collar, and pulled him into a kiss. She was already slithering her tongue in his mouth, and Kaminari just let her do it. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and then pulled her as close as possible.
"Mmmmmm…" Jiro grabbed the back of Denki's head and pulled him closer. "I can't stay mad at him."
Jiro pulled away, a content look on her face. "Okay, Denki." Jiro smiled a little as she said, "I forgive you."
Kaminari smiled as he said, "Cool. Now let's go, babe." He extended a hand to her, and she took it. The two walked together to the next room, both in a better mood.

Komori x Tetsutetsu
Komori and Tetsutetsu walked into a 50-point room, both unaware of what it was.
"What kind of room do you think this is, Komori?" Tetsutetsu scritched his silver hair, glancing at the mushroom girl.
"O-Oh, I don't know, Tetsu-chan." Komori circled her fingers together in shyness. "It might be a 50-point room. But then *gulp* we have to fight another pair!"
"What's wrong with that?" Tetsutetsu grinned, balling his hands into fists. "Nothing wrong with a good fight!"
"Well, it's just…" Komori blushed, folding her arms. "My quirk won't be very useful in a place with low humidity like this. And I… I don't want to let you down."
Tetsutetsu had a look of empathy as he saw Komori sniffling.
"Ah, Komori." Tetsu walked over to the girl, placing a hand on her shoulder. "You're too great to let me down." He gave her the brightest sharp-tooth smile he could, and Komori stopped sniffling.
"R-really, Tetsu-chan?"
"Really."
"Sorry to interrupt, classmates."
Tetsu and Komori both turned and saw Monoma and Kendo, both with enlarged hands. Monoma had a vain smile again, and he stated, "But we're going to have to fight you."
Tetsutetsu turned into steel and charged at the pair, shouting, "We got this, Komori! Don't doubt yourself!"
Tetsu charged into Monoma, punching him in the stomach. The blond-haired boy wheezed heavily, and then used his enlarged hands to entrap Tetsutetsu.
"Got you." Monoma snickered. The vain boy of 1-B began to turn into steel, snickering, "And now I've gor your qui-"
Tetsutetsu responded by headbutting Monoma while he was still fleshy there. The boy was knocked out instantly, falling to the ground. Tetsutetsu turned and noticed Kendo already knocked out in front of Komori.
"Woah! What did you do to her, Komori!?" Tetsutetsu ran over to Kendo's side. The girl's eyes were slightly open, and she had a small smile when the steel-boy appeared over her.
"I-I grew a mushroom inside of her throat to asphyxiate her until she gave up." Komori stammered.
"Yeah you did." Kendo slowly stood, wiping her mouth. "Good job, Komori. Looks like you and Tetsu are good at working together." The girl began to walk over to Monoma as the 50-Point flag dropped from the roof. Tetsutetsu grabbed it with a grin. "Speaking of being together, Tetsutetsu…"
Tetsutetsu turned to look at Kendo, who had a blush on her face as she said, "Let's hang out sometime."
Kendo grabbed Monoma and carried him out of the room as Tetsutetsu muttered, "...Okay…"
"I-I guess h-he likes her…" Komori thought to herself. "O-Oh well. But r-regardless, I'll always be thankful for you, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu. I never would've gained the confidence to fight Kendo if it wasn't for you!"
"We got this, Komori! Let's go!" The two jogged out, both more sure of themselves

Juzo x Kodai
The two dodged in separate directions as the bull-robot charged. It's extended horns nearly grazed Juzo, and the beast turned its attention to Yui. It charged towards her, and the girl was frozen in shock.
"Kodai!" Juzo used his quirk, softening the ground under the bull. The machine began to sink into the thick, liquid ground, swinging its head around. Soon, the entire robot had sunk into the ground.
"You… You saved me!" Kodai's usual passive face had a smile as she ran over to Juzo. She hugged him, causing the boy to blush. "I knew you were a good choice for me." Kodai whispered into his ear. "When we get back to the dorm, I'll make sure you're compensated for it."
Juzo's eyes widened in surprise as Kodai grabbed the 10-Point flag. He followed behind her, a grin on his face.

Sero x Reiko
The two had arrived at a 5-Point room, one where a fake-hostage was held above a pit of fire by a rope.
"Don't worry, Yanagi, I've got this!" Sero extended tape around the rope, pulling himself up towards the hostage. He reached the rope, and began to swing back and forth. The hostage was approaching the safe-area, but the rope was beginning to loosen.
"Sero, there is a conflict with the bindings." Reiko emotionlessly said, not loud enough for Sero to hear.
"What did you say, Yanagi?" Sero continued swinging on the rope, not seeing it ripping. When another binding snapped, the cellophane boy looked up and noticed it. "Oh, sh-"
The rope then snapped, the mannequin hostage and Sero both plummeting towards the fire.
"CRAPCRAPCRAPCRAP!" Sero closed his eyes in fear, but instead felt something yank him. He looked up and noticed the mannequin had grabbed the ledge and him, moving on its own. The mannequin pulled Sero over the ledge, and then tossed the 5-Point flag on top of him.
"But…. How?" Sero raised his eyebrows in confusion.
The mannequin began to shudder as Reiko exited from the inside. She looked like a ghost, her body in some type of mist-form. The mannequin fell to the ground, inanimate.
"My Poltergeist quirk allows me to control objects, Sero-chan." Reiko looked at Sero, and slightly raised an eyebrow. "I thought you knew this."
"Uh...Yeah… I knew that." Sero flashed a grin, but then blushed slightly as Reiko sat on top of him without saying anything. "Uh… Yanagi?"
Reiko had the smallest of smiles as she said, "You don't have form fabrications to tell me to make me impressed with you, Sero-chan. I already find you attractive."
Sero had a nervous smile and a redder blush as he said, "You do?"
"Yes." Reiko quickly connected her lips with Sero's, pressing up against the boy who laid on the ground. The boy was surprised, especially because Yanagi's eyes were still open and looking into his. Sero slowly closed his, and wrapped his arms around her. Yanagi followed suit, shutting hers as well. The ghost-girl separated, asking "Was that elevating for you, Sero-chan?"
Sero had the biggest grin as he jumped up and pumped his fists in the air. "Hell yeah!"
Sero picked Yanagi up, somewhat surprising her. Sero extended his tape, taking both him and Yanagi into the next room.

Shihai x Momo
"What the hell is wrong with this place!?" Shihai angrily yelled. The two were in a 10-point room, in battle with a gorilla-robot. Momo had formed a binding cloth similar to Aizawa's that she used to pull Shihai around, the all-black boy taken off guard.
"Calm down, Shihai! We need to focus on ways to destroy it!" Momo popped a smoke grenade out of herself, using it to obscure the machine's vision. It roared in artificial anger, charging through the smoke.
"Crap! It didn't work!" Momo leaped to the left, pulling Shihai yet again. The two were pressed against a wall, and the beastly android charged.
"What should I make?" Momo thought to herself, knowing that her next creation could be the only thing that saves them. "Smoke does nothing to slow it down. A cannon would take too much time. Maybe a grenade…"
"Momo." Shihai blankly stated. "Throw me at it."
"What?" Momo turned to the boy, raising her eyebrows. "Why!?"
"Trust me, we don't have much time." Shihai stood, narrowing his eyes at the robot. When it comes closer. Throw another smoke bomb and swing me at it!"
"I'm trusting you, Shihai!" Momo tossed another smoke bomb into the face of the robot. It paused for a moment as Shihai was swung towards it. Before the robot charged directly through the smoke, Shihai came into contact with it. He began to meld into the robot, and it began to shudder.
"Of course!" Momo facepalmed as she groaned in her head, "Shihai's quirk! The gorilla is black!"
Shihai began using the gorilla-bot's strength against him, using it to tear its own self apart. He leeched out of it when it was entirely dismantled, and he gave a sly grin. "Told you to trust me."
"You were right." Momo smiled. "I'm proud of you. Maybe you're not just a sleez who hates everything like you say."
"Heh, yeah." Shihai leaned in close to Momo. "I think I earned a reward, don't you?"
Shihai was shut up when Momo kissed his forehead. He perked his eyes up as Yaoyorozu said, "You have to do more to earn a real kiss, Shadow-boy." Momo giggled, and then jogged out of the room.
Shihai had a confused look on his face at first. However, this turned into a look of endearment. "Shadow-boy, huh?"
Shihai began to run out of the room, yelling, "Wait up, Momo!"

And so it continued. The heroes of Class 1-A and 1-B continued their fighting. Mineta and Tsuyu stuck to 1 and 5-Point rooms. Midoriya and Ochaco took down robots. Shihai and Momo got into a scuffle with Setsuna and Kosei, and won. Bakugo and Ibara were working together better now, and were able to rack up points. Kirishima and Mina continued on, absolutely dominating all the 1, 5, and 10-Point rooms. Kaminari and Jiro would take care of a room, but one of the two would initiate another makeout session. Sero and Reiko easily racked up points. Shinso and Mei dominated in the 50-Point rooms. This is how the scoreboard looks:

Speaking of Shinso and Mei…
Shinso x Mei
"TIME'S UP STUDENTS!" Aizawa called over the intercom. "HEAD BACK TO THE ENTRANCE!"
"Finally over, huh?" Shinso groaned. He turned to look at Mei, who was going through pieces of the robot she dismantled. "You coming or not?"
"Yeah! I just need some parts for my babies!" Mei turned with a smile, stuffing different metal pieces into her pockets. She ran over to Shinso, slapping him on the butt and surprising him. "Let's go!"
"Stop."
Mei stopped in place, completely under Shinso's control.
"Turn around."
Mei obliged. She then felt herself released of his control, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Listen, girl."
"Mei."
Shinso narrowed his eyes. "Mei. I don't know why Eraser-Head put ME with YOU of all people. But you know what? I'm starting to get tired of it." He rubbed his neck as he groaned, "You never know when to calm down."
"Sure, I might be energetic and giddy." Mei stepped closer to Shinso, and gave him a sly look. "But you wanna know what I think?"
"What?" Shinso muttered.
Mei used her boots to extend her height, until she was face-to-face with Hitoshi. The boy now had a bewildered look as she flirtatiously stated, "I think you secretly love my personality." Mei glanced downwards, and then looked back into Shinso's eyes. "Your crotch is hard again, Shinso-kun."
"G-Go to the entrance." Shinso used his mind control yet again to brainwash Mei. The girl instinctively headed to the entrance as Shinso nervously walked behind her.
"Dammit, she's smart." He thought to himself.
Later…
The students had all filed back into the commons area, tired from the physical exertion of the labyrinth.
"Good job, everyone." Aizawa had a small smile as he stated, "You all did well, but some could've done better. Regardless, the top seven pairs will be rewarded with a party."
"Awesome!" Exclaimed everyone except Shinso.
"Now, the pair in first is…" Aizawa took a crumpled piece of paper out of his pocket, examining it. "Midoriya and Uraraka."
"We did it, Deku!" Ochaco hugged Midoriya, causing the boy to blush furiously.
"Second place is Bakugo and Ibara."
"SECOND PLACE!?" Bakugo erupted into rage. "WE LOST TO DEKU!? I'LL KILL YOU ALL! I'LL BRING THIS WHOLE BUILDING DO-"
Ibara slapped Katsuki, knocking him into a state of frozen rage. "DO...DO…"
"Patience, Bakugo."
"Third place is Kirishima and Ashido."
"Yes!" Kirishima and Mina pumped their fists in the air.
"Fourth place is Momo and Shihai."
"We did it, Shihai!" Momo gleefully yelled, punching Shihai's shoulder.
Shihai snickered. "Yeah, well, I couldn't have done it without you, Yaoyorozu."
Momo gave a Shihai a kind smile. "The feeling is mutual."
"Fifth place is Kaminari and Jiro."
"Hah, I told you we would make it in the end, Kyoka!" Denki wrapped his arm around Jiro, and kissed her cheek. Jiro folded her arms as she said, "Yeah, well you STILL lost to grape-boy." She gave Denki a sly smile as she kissed him on the lips.
"Speaking of Mineta, him and Tsuyu got seventh. Mei and Shinso got sixth."
Mineta and Tsuyu high-fived, both smiling. Shinso had his usual look, but grimaced when he glanced at Mei, who was looking up at him with wanting eyes.
"Alright, the fourteen of you can head to the party lounge. Noodles, dumplings, taiyaki, and ice cream will be provided." Aizawa scratched his hair as he walked off. "As for the other five pairs, it's bedtime."
"Ah, c'mon, Aizawa-sensei!" Sero got on his knees and put his hands together in begging. "Me and Yanagi were gonna hang out!"
"Well, now you get to sleep together in a completely non-sexual manner." Aizawa retorted. "Them's the breaks."
"It's okay, Sero-chan." Reiko kneeled down next to Sero and pecked him on the cheek. "We'll have another chance."
"Fine." Sero groaned, standing up.
As the five lower pairs and Aizawa headed out, the seven top pairs headed into the party room.
"Alright guys!" Mina cheerfully walked over to a table where soda bottles were strewn out. She grabbed one and poured all of it out into a trash can.
"ASHIDOOOOOOO!" Kaminari yelled in surprise. "YOU'RE WASTING PERFECTLY GOOD SODA!"
"We need the bottle, Kaminari!" Mina held the empty bottle triumphantly.
"Why, ribbit?" Tsuyu had a look of interest, and she noticed Mineta also seeming interested.
"Isn't it obvious. She wants to play-" Momo began.
"SPIN THE BOTTLE!" Mina finished. "We'll pair off and form a circle, and whichever pair the bottle lands on will go into a closet for 5 minutes!" Ashido held up 5 fingers to indicate this. "Now, let's begin!"
The students began to form the circle. Midoriya and Uraraka looked nervous, but headed towards the circle. Shinso leered at the students, and then turned and began to walk away.
"Yeah, no thanks. This isn't my type of thing."
Shinso became surprised when a metallic rod looped around him, and trapped him by the waist. He turned and saw Mei making a pouty face at him. "C'mon, Shinso!"
"Goddammit." Shinso thought to himself.
Shinso was released from the trap, and headed over to the circle.
"Well, aren't they cute?" Shihai rolled his eyes.
"Yes. Yes they are." Momo held Shihai's hand out of nowhere, causing the boy to blush.
"Alright, everyone!" Mine placed the bottle in the center of the group, and then spun it. "Let's begin!"
The bottle spun quickly, going all around the group. The lid was the ultimate decision maker here. Mina hugged Kirishima's arm in hopeful anticipation. Mineta laid his hand on Tsuyu's thigh, and the frog-girl blushed. Shihai and Momo continued holding hands. Bakugo sat somewhat closer than usual to Ibara with his arms folded. Ibara had her hands together in prayer. Izuku and Uraraka were both clearly nervous about the situation. No one was noticing Kaminari and Jiro were already kissing.
"Don't be me and this chick, please." Shinso thought to himself as the bottle began to slow. It finally came to a halt, pointing directly at…
"SHINSO AND MEI!" Mina ecstatically yelled.
"Goddammit." Shinso seethed.
NEXT: Closet time!
Author's Note: Alright guys, part 4 is officially over! Nearly 5,000 words *sighs in relief*. I really hope you guys are enjoying it. Realized Shinso x Mei wasn't getting represented a lot, and I definitely wanted to show them more in this chapter. As for OFFICIAL couples, we've only got Kaminari x Jiro and Sero x Reiko. Mineta x Tsuyu is getting there, along with Kirishima x Mina and Shihai x Momo. Izuku x Ochaco and Bakugo x Ibara is taking some time. As for the Tetsutetsu and Kendo moment, I wanted to bring in the idea that not all of the pairings will end up together. Komori is taught how to have self-confidence by Tetsu, but she doesn't fall in love with him. Monoma is put in his place by Kendo, but they aren't in love. Juzo x Kodai is basically done, I don't think I can really add anything to that after this part. Same with Kosei x Setsuna. But don't worry, they'll still have their moments. Big stuff is coming up, so I hope you're all ready for it! Also, if you want some back-up context for an upcoming chapter, you should read my Himiko Toga story, "My Villain Girlfriend." Alright guys, I'll catch you next time!
