"Hey Kirishima, we just have to wait for it to dry now!" Kaminari yelled as Kirishima walked through the door of their room. After Bakugo's dramatic departure, the two went to their room only to realize that neither had eaten lunch and that it was definitely time for dinner. Kirishima decided to go and pick up some burgers for the two of them while Kaminari stayed behind to wash scarf. "Once it's ready, all I have to do is post a picture with the caption 'Looking for cute, purple-haired girl' and it's done!"
Kirishima walked over to give his roommate a burger and noticed the scarf hanging by the heater. The poor thing was now faded from what Kirishima assumed Kaminari scrubbing the life out of it. "If you only take a picture of it, there's a chance that she won't recognize it in this condition," he said.
"Hey! I did my best, but blood isn't the easiest thing to wash out! Besides," Kaminari gestured towards his desk. "I already typed out what I'm going to post!"
Kirishima sighed, but started to read the text on the screen.
Looking for cute, purple-haired girl
A good-hearted civilian helped me out by the South Building and let me borrow her scarf. I would like to return the scarf to her, but I was unable to get a name or number.
Please help me find her by sharing this post with other UA students!
"Most people might think that this is kind of suspicious. I doubt anyone would take this seriously," Kirishima bluntly said.
"Okay," Kaminari paused, "Then what do you think I should do?" He couldn't help but feel slightly agitated. He was thankful that it was a Friday so he could spend the rest of the night putting together his plan, but it seemed like Kirishima wasn't being as optimistic as he normally was.
"Kaminari, if you're going to do this then you need to be a man and do it the right way!" Kirishima yelled as he dramatically pointed directly at the stitches on Kaminari's forehead.
"No," Kaminari barked and swatted at Kirishima's finger, "I want to find out who she is, but the world doesn't need to know about my incident."
"You're posting evidence about your little slip, but you won't actually talk about it. How does that make any sense?" Kaminari opened his month to respond only to quickly close it shut. "Exactly," said Kirishima while he walked back to grab his own burger.
"Ugh… fine," groaned Kaminari in response, "What should I do then?"
"Just be honest, say that you were the guy that blacked outside the building and that the paramedics took to the hospital," Kirishima yawned out. "There are worse stories that you could be sharing with the world. Like, the time you got drunk at Mina's house party and you were dancing around with your thumbs in the air saying 'Wheyyyyy'" Kirishima laughed and started imitating Kaminari's 'dance'.
Kaminari kept a stone cold face as he replied, "It's not my fault I kept losing at all the drinking games." He didn't have any fond memories of that night or any other night in which his friends invited him to party. His alcohol-tolerance was literally zero and all it took was one drink for Kaminari to get buzzed and go stupid. He thought that people would hate being around that him, but apparently it's hilarious enough that people keep inviting him to drink with them.
"See, a small whack to the head is nothing to be embarrassed about. Oh, and as long as your dream girl never see you drink then you should be able to live happily ever after!"
"Jeez, thanks for the support," Kaminari went back to his computer to type.

Looking for cute, purple-haired girl
Around 1:30 PM today, I slipped on ice outside of the South Building and hit my head. Luckily for me, a good-hearted civilian helped me out and called an ambulance. I was bleeding a lot and she ended up using her scarf to stop the bleeding. I would like to give her my thanks for helping me out and replace the scarf she used, but I don't know who she is. I kind-of blacked out before I had a chance to ask for her name. Just in case she doesn't recognize me, the picture below how I must have looked to her the last time she saw me.
Please help me find her by sharing this post with any UA student you know with purple hair!
"This is hopeless!" Kaminari couldn't help but bang his head on the desk after reading a pointless comment on his Instagram.
"Maybe but at least everyone seems to be entertained by your story," Kirishima said as he patted Kaminari on the back.
"Yeah because there's a picture of me lying on the snow with ketchup on my face," Kirishima had somehow managed to convince Kaminari to reenact part of the accident last night. It was all pretty funny to the extent that Kaminari thought it was a good idea to take some pictures at the time. It wasn't until after he uploaded the picture of his face covered in ketchup like a bad horror movie that he started to feel a bit of regret.
"I think it was a pretty good reenactment. It also shows how serious you are about finding her," Kirishima said. It was already Saturday evening and even though Kaminari had plastered the post across every social media outlet he had, not a single message pertaining to the purple princess had come through. However, his inbox messages did range from friends saying get well-soon to people asking if he had gone permanently stupid. "Did you read all of the comments on FB?"
"Not yet," Kaminari stretched out his arms. "I think that's all I have left to check." He had been stuck to his computer screen since last night reading every comment and message that he came to the point of falling asleep at his desk. It wasn't until Kirishima woke him up to remind him of all of the homework he needed to complete that Kaminari finally pulled it together. He stopped himself from going online every few minutes to only checking everything when he finished an assignment or needed a quick break.
"You should probably know that Bakugo left a comment that wasn't… very nice," Kirishima debated saying while scrolling through his phone.
"When does Bakugo ever say anything nice?" Kaminari complained, "What did he say?"
"He said, 'You're a fucking idiot if you think any girl would respond to this shitty post!'"
"Even if he thinks it was a bad idea he should have at least shared the post," Kaminari complained.
"Dude, he did."
"Really? I guess Bakugo does care!" Kaminari couldn't help but smile. Bakugo was a good friend.
"Yeah, but I think he cares a lot more about your mystery girl," Kirishima couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"What do you mean? What did he say?!" The smile was quickly replaced with the look of distress on Kaminari's face as he rushed back to his laptop.
"It says, 'Help find this mystery chick so she can file a restraining order against this crazy bastard!'"
"Bro, that's not cool! What if people seriously think I'm a stalker!" The last thing he needed was his girl thinking he was a major creep.
"Well, you do have some stalker-ish qualities," Kirishima muttered before seeing Kaminari's defeated face, "But nobody takes Bakugo seriously so you'll be fine!" As much as Kirishima tried to comfort his roommate, things weren't looking that great.
"You think… she might have seen it and thought it was too weird?" Kaminari questioned.
"Well, the whole situation is kind of weird if you really think about it. There is a possibility that maybe she just doesn't want to be found?" Kirishima responded, "I mean plenty of people think that this is some kind of joke you're trying to pull to get attention."
Kirishima did have a point. A lot of their friends had liked and shared the post, but most of the comments made fun of the blonde's efforts.
"Maybe I should give up," Kaminari quietly said to himself.
"Man, you need to finish what you started. It's too late to quit!" Kirishima started clicking on people's name to see their pictures on Kaminari's computer. "Did you check through all of the people that got tagged?"
"Yeah but people are just messing around. Even Sero tagged Mina on the photo and she got pissed," Kaminari took over the computer and showed the conversation between Ashido Mina and Sero Hanta.
"I would be too! Mina's hair is as pink as Kirby and there's no mistaking that. Besides, I wouldn't want to mess with a journalist for the school's newspaper," the red-head said as he leaned in to read the rest of the comments.
As if a bolt of lightning struck, Kaminari jolted out of his chair screaming "That's it!" sending Kirishima crashing backwards onto the floor.
"Kaminari, I swear Bakugo might be right about you being crazy!" Kirishima groaned as he rubbed his elbow.
"I'm crazy and you're a genius Kirishima because I know how I'm going to find the girl!"
"I hope you're right this time because one of us with a head injury is more than enough," Kirishima whined, but Kaminari paid no attention to him. He was off in his own little world running around the room.
"I need to call Mina like right now!" Kaminari yelled while searching for his phone. "Ah, found it! Mina, pick up! Please, pick-up!"
