A tapping noise filled Shouto's room. Waiting for Momo to arrive, his feelings are all over the place. On one hand, he's nervous to eat her new mixture. On another, spending more time with her would make him feel better. What's the reason, he's not sure himself. The way he's acting impatiently is unlike his character. Pacing the floor of his traditional Japanese room. Occasionally sitting down only to fidget his fingers and tap the table with a small piece of ice on the tip of his finger.

"I'm acting too much like Midoriya right now."

If any of his classmates saw how he's behaving at this moment, he wouldn't be sure how'd he react. His pride would most likely cause him to act in denial.

*Knock! Knock!*

Shouto rushes to the door to open it. His heart half-prepared despite knowing what to expect…

Only, what he expected didn't actually happen.

His eyes met with a pair of glasses that look foggy.

"Iida, what are you doing here?"

Drenched in sweat and barely able to catch his breath, Tenya tried to explain his presence.

"I'm sorry...bother...are you...Todoroki-kun?"

"I'm alright. Midoriya told me you went to the support class. Did you meet someone there?"

The hairs in the back of Tenya's neck stood and he stiffens up his posture.

"I uhh, just had to meet with someone there." Sweat sprinkles all over the place as his flails his arms in his typical robotic manner.

Slightly irate that his expectations were crushed, Shouto decides to take a jab at his friend.

"Isn't that Hatsume person a student there?"

"It's not what you think, Todoroki-kun! I just needed her to modify my suit!"

"Oh really? I've noticed you two spending more time since you reacquainted." said a familiar voice. The class president turns to see his second-in-command. In her mit-covered hands, is a pot that is clearly fresh from the stove.

"Iida-san, what are you doing here?"

"I just came to check on Todoroki-kun. I'm sorry I wasn't able to walk with him like you asked earlier."

"It's alright. I heard from Midoriya-san that you were spending time with Hatsume-san."

"It's nothing out of the ordinary, I swear."

"Oh, we never assumed there was anything suspicious going on." Shouto added in.

Rather than continue to defend himself, Tenya simply sprints away.

"NOTHING HAPPENED!" Tenya leaves a trail of dust and lies behind him.

Iida and Mei is a ship, right? Do they have a ship or nah?
