When Midoriya got to Kirishima's house the party had been going for about 3 hours already. Every single one of the boys from class 1A was there except for Todoroki who had either not gotten permission from his father to leave or had just decided not to go and Bakugo, who as Midoriya later had heard had said he could think of better things to do than hang out at a party.
Kirishima opened the door and gestured for Midoriya to come in. "So how was your date?" He asked winking at Midoriya.
Midoriya rolled his eyes. "I told you, It wasn't a date." To his own surprise he found himself wishing it had been an actual date. He quickly suppressed the thought as he kicked off his shoes.
"Whatever you say man. I'm not sure the other are convinced yet though." Kirishima said as he motioned for Midoriya to follow him upstairs.
"You told everyone about me going shopping with Kendo?!" Midoriya exclaimed in shock.
Kirishima flashed him the biggest shit eating grin he could manage. "Yea I didn't think it would matter much. Seeing as it wasn't a date and all."
For just a second it occurred to Midoriya that he could put full cowling to use right there, right then and give Kirishima a full 5% smash to the head. He cast away the plan as quick as he had thought of it as they approached Kirishima's room, trying to think about how he could explain things to the best of his abilities without everyone thinking he went on a date. When they were just a few inches away from the door Midoriya realized he stood absolutely no chance of convincing anyone, well maybe he could convince Iida but that would barely be a consolation.
As soon as they stepped into the room the only thing that Midoriya found himself thinking was that he wished he had Hagakure's invisibility quirk instead of One for All. For the shortest second of his life he actually had hope that no one would notice him entering but Kirishima immediately crushed that hope by marching into the room and loudly announcing his arrival. "Hey guys, guess who just arrived."
Immediately all 18 eyes focussed on him and for a moment the most awkward silence of Midoriya's life followed. Only to be followed by Kaminari's loud. "Dude you betrayed us! Why didn't you tell us you had a girlfriend?" Pointing at him and Mineta.
"I told Kirishima before, she is not my girlfriend!" Midoriya said, waving his hands in front of him in an attempt to get his point across more clearly.
"So you're trying to tell us you just casually went shopping with the most beautiful girl in class B?" Mineta said, eyeing him suspiciously.
"That's exactly what I'm trying to say!" Midoriya shouted, desperate to get at least one of his friends to believe him.
"Then why were you studying her page in your hero notebook all day last Friday?" Sero shouted, immediately being backed up by Mineta saying he saw it as well.
"I was just trying to memorize all the new information she helped me fill in." Midoriya said, it was technically only the first lie he had told that evening but if you would have asked any of the other boys they would have made it his fifth or sixth.
Kaminari just rolled his eyes. "Does anyone actually believe Midoriya?"
Not to Midoriya's surprise but much to his horror a grand total of zero hands went up into the air. Midoriya decided to just accept the fact that he wasn't going to convince anyone and went to sit down next to Iida. At his new spot he managed to get about two whole seconds of peace before Iida tapped him on the shoulder. "Midoriya?"
Midoriya opted for a questioning noise instead of a full answer because he had a feeling he knew where this was going.
"I want to congratulate you on getting yourself a girlfriend but I also feel like it is my duty as class representative to tell you that you should focus on school as well and not spend the whole day staring at drawings of her in your notebook." He said, completely serious.
"I didn't stare at-" Halfway through his sentence he decided he might as well just give up. "Fine, whatever."
"I'm not sure you took my words to heart." Iida responded, eyeing him curiously.
Midoriya had never before in his life felt this strong of an urge to smash his head into the wall using more than 5% of One for All, actually he had probably never felt this strong of an urge to do anything in his life.
"Hey guys do you want to play a game?" Kirishima asked, Midoriya immediately agreed, glad that it would divert the attention from him and Kendo to something else.
"What game did you have in mind though?" Shoji asked.
"I don't know I guess we could do something old and standard like truth or dare?" Kirishima said, sitting down on the couch in his room.
Everyone just nodded and Ojiro was the first to take the word. "You can start if you want."
Kirishima gave him a sharp nod. "Alright, Iida truth or dare?"
"I do not fully understand this game so I'm just going to say dare." Iida answered sounding a little uncertain.
An evil smile crossed Kirishima's face. "I dare you to prank call Bakugo."
Iida looked confused. "I don't understand what you mean by prank call?"
"You have to call someone and just ask them random stuff or say random stuff, it's supposed to be funny." Tokoyami answered.
"I do not understand why interrupting Bakugo in whatever he's doing is funny but I suppose I could do it if it's for fun." He grabbed his phone and took a second to look for Bakugo in his contact list. When he found his number he pressed the call button and put the phone on speaker. Bakugo picked up after about 3 rings.
"What do you want shithead?!" Bakugo's voice boomed from the speaker.
"Yes hello Bakugo I was just calling to make sure you are studying well for your final exam." Iida managed to stay perfectly polite.
"Why do you care?! I'll do fine on them anyway, tell that shithead Deku I'm going to beat him when you see him." Bakugou shouted so loud that he would have probably been perfectly hearable even if the phone wasn't on speaker.
Kaminari had trouble trying to control his laughter as Iida answered completely stone faced. "I'll let him know when I see him."
"Did you just call me to ask me if I was going to study or what shithead?!" Bakugo sounded more than just a little irritated causing Kaminari to completely lose it and start laughing loudly. "Why is there someone laughing in the background?! Wait are you at that stupid party?!" Bakugo said and if voices could kill everyone in the room would have been dead.
"I won't take any more of your time, goodnight." Iida said politely as he ended the call.
As soon as he hung up the whole room broke out into laughter. "Oh man that wasn't even close to a good prank call but Bakugo made it way too funny." Kaminari said, wiping the tears from his eyes.
When everyone had calmed down a bit Kirishima took the word again. "Alright Iida it's your turn."
"So I just ask someone truth or dare?" Iida asked to which Kirishima simply nodded in response.
"Midoriya, truth or dare?"
Midoriya wasn't all too surprised about him being chosen but he didn't trust anyone of the boys to think of a reasonable dare that wouldn't end up with him having to ask Kendo out or something similar so he went with the lesser of two evils. "Truth."
Iida thought about it for a little while before declaring he had thought of a question. "Do you like Kendo?"
Midoriya was a bit taken aback by the question but immediately answered. "Yes I do." Only after the words were out of his mouth he fully realized what he had said. "As a friend ofcourse." He quickly added earning him ten unbelieving looks at the same time. As Midoriya felt himself get red in the face he tried to quickly change the subject. "Let's play another game okay?"
"Alright we can switch to Never have I ever." Kaminari suggested which everyone agreed with. "Everyone has three points, last one to lose all their points wins, Midoriya can start."
Midoriya thought about it for a little while before coming up with something he thought would make the others lose points. "Never have I ever failed a test."
The sentence was followed by a few groans and a loud come on from Kaminari as everyone in the room except for Midoriya, Iida and Tokoyami raised their hand.
Ojiro took a little longer to come up with something good. "Never have I ever wished I had another quirk."
Everyone but Iida raised their hand including Ojiro himself. "Who hasn't right? By the way, you do realize you shouldn't pick something you have done yourself right Ojiro?" Kirishima said.
"I didn't know what to pick." Ojiro said.
"Alright my turn." Kaminari shouted. "Never have I ever kissed a girl."
No one raised their hand but all 20 eyes where focussed on Midoriya for the second time that evening.
Midoriya sighed. "Have I told you how much I hate you guys sometimes?"
Iida ended up winning with all three points still there. The remaining part of the party was spend by trying to make Midoriya confess that he and Kendo were boyfriend and girlfriend which didn't happen. Midoriya thought about just lying about actually being Kendo's boyfriend just to get some peace but he quickly realized it wouldn't get him any peace because of the countless questions that his friends would ask him and on top of that Kendo would surely hear he said it one way or another.
When Midoriya returned to his own house he was completely exhausted and found himself falling asleep as soon as he went to bed, a small smile on his face as he thought about his shopping trip with Kendo.
And that does it for chapter 3, sorry for the lack of Kendo in this chapter. She'll be there again next chapter. As always let me know what you think. Your nice comments really help me stay motivated to update this story frequently.
