Marie had gotten dressed fairly fast and grabbed a granola bar on the way out with her bag.

"Okay, let's go." But she halted when she saw that Shinso wasn't alone.

"Hey Marie! I was just asking Shinso what he was doing here."

It was Ami. She is Gina's roommate and has the same priorities as such.

"I'm just waiting for her to get changed. We have a project together." Shinso answered for the feline.

"You're in the Hero Class now Shinso. Is it weird being over here with the normies?" Ami's voice sounded like it was becoming high pitched.

Marie had to wonder if she was trying to flirt with that voice.

"It's only different because I'm on the girls side." Shinso said straight to the point.

"So are you like," Ami steps a little closer to Hitoshi, "A bad boy of something with that quirk of yours?"

"AMI! We don't have time for your flirting. We've got goals we're actually working on." Marie grabbed Shinso's hand and led him to the elevator.

Marie expected the action to be more dramatic but had to wait for the elevator. And in that time Ami was able to take the last word.

"Be careful holding that hand Shinso. Heard it feels pretty gross to me."

The attack ended with the elevator door separating them. Marie immediately pulled her hand away from Shinso's.

"Sorry." She mumbled.

"It's okay. And I didn't think your hand felt gross." Shinso looked at the hand she had held.

Shinso and Marie walked into the common room just in time to hear Gina taking up all of the attention.

"She accused me of wanting to steal her clients." Gina exaggerated.

Midoriya sitting across from her at the table, "Did you?"

"Of course I wanted to!" Gina exaggerated and the people around her laughed.

The banter was usual for Gina. She talked the talk but Marie was pretty sure she didn't walk the walk.

Shinso made his way toward Midoriya and sat directly next to him. The last seat in that specific seating area. They immediately engaged in conversation. Maria took note of this as she took her seat next to Danny.

"Hey, Where were you?" Danny inched a tiny bit closer to her.

She ignored the movement. "I fell asleep in the teacher's lounge."

Gina turned to her next, "Cat nap on Aizawa Sensei's deck? Were you trying to seduce him?" And then she turned to look at Shinso, "But then again maybe you like them pale, tired, and brooding."

Marie's face went pink.

She didn't notice that Midoriya had made eye contact with Shinso to make silent conversation.

"Hush up Gina. We have work to do." Danny turned to everyone they were sitting around, "I have been taking notes today around Froggy's mannerisms and general behaviors but I also think that a public profile should still be limited to what the public should know."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"We should also include the fun facts to the person. People always love those." Midoriya added.

"Yes, Even though they're not a huge deal it gives the public an impression of knowing someone." Tsuyu added.

"Perhaps we could make the fun facts as part of the delivery we give to the class and make a more descriptive profile what we turn in to Aizawa Sensei. It makes sense as a management student because it's how it really works." Marie answered wordy.

"Ughh. You would be the one that still manages for us to have a report to do." Gina huffed.

"The idea is perfect. The public is going to have questions but there will always be classified information that could harm the hero or those around the person." Shinso spoke up.

Marie felt her heart beating a bit faster. Was he helping her out with her case?

"We should make the portfolio an interview." Midoriya was excited with this announcement.

"Yes!" Danny agreed, "We could have the managers and the heroes do a mock interview. We should ask Midnight if she could do it since she's been in the media's eye for some time."

Marie was happy to see that everything was coming together and that, for the most part, everyone was getting along.

Under the table she shifted and felt her leg bump into the person in front of her. Looking forward there wasn't any specific indication on who she had bumped. Neither Midoriya or Shinso looked her way. But she could hear the movement under the table well enough to know whose leg it was. The goosebumps on her legs begging her to move her leg back again.

Shinso felt the warmth of the woman's leg for just barely a moment before it was moved. He continued to look down at his notebook. He didn't want to bring attention to the clear accident. That was till he felt the warmth make contact again but this time didn't move.

He tightened his lips but knew his ears were red. The thought of how nice the simple touch was, was embarrassing to him. Looking up at the culprit of the flame running through him he saw that she was also burning at the cheeks. And because they were both at the end of the table he was probably the only one who could see her tail doing a little dance.

The same dance that his cats would do when he would give them attention.

Shinso took a moment to understand the moment. They've both expressed that they weren't interested in the romance and typical teen affairs. So maybe this was just exploring and being casual with a classmate…no..a friend. But nothing more.

Marie was screaming in her head. Why did she move in for more? Her inner cat was letting out its animalistic instincts. Her animal side wanted to continue to be comforted by Shinso's presence. This wasn't abnormal behavior for someone that was feline. It was more that the feline community didn't usually ignore the inner animal.

Then when she felt that the males leg didn't move she knew her tail was going crazy by her side. And then it happened. The most embarrassing thing that could have happened happened.

She purred at the table. And everyone looked her way.
