Hello there, it's me. Long time since last update, isn't it? (I gotta stop doing that...) Well, I'll rant at the end. Moving to the story!

What Could Possibly Go Wrong...?

"Merry Christmas!" Cheered the young heroes in training from class 1-A.

After a year that felt much longer than it should, full of unexpected turns of events, they were here. The second-year was at arm's length and deep down they all felt a little anxious. With all they had been through, one could only wonder what awaited them in the path ahead. But let's not dwell on these thoughts, shall we? At least for today, because it was time for commemoration. For surviving this year, for the achievements and lessons learned, there were many reasons. Dressed according to the festivities, the students sat in the common room, chatting and nibbling some food while they waited for their guests from the neighboring classroom.

"~sigh~ Man, I'm so glad they gave us this week to rest. I can't imagine myself going to the Work-Study right after classes end" Ashido said, stretching her arms up.

"Yeah. It's good that we can go home for New Year's Eve, right, Mina-chan?~" Hagakure said, moving her hands in excitement.

"Yeah, that's cool, but we still have to pick an agency to go. It is kind of a short time…" Jiro said.

"Ribbit, are you going to work with Hawks again, Tokoyami-kun?" Asked the flog girl, properly covered in a layer of warm clothes.

"I intend to do so if Hawks accept me again. I feel that I grew up during my experience there" The bird-headed teen answered.

"Oh, Tokoyami-kun got a small fanbase from his time with Hawks, right? That's cool" Uraraka joined the chat.

Meanwhile, Kirishima turned to his explosive friend.

"Are you going to Best Jeanist again, Baku bro?"

"Tch, I don't know" Bakugo replied without much interest. Jeanist was still recovering from the fight in Kamino.

"But you still have a lot of contacts from the Sports Festival, don't you?" Kaminari asked, skillfully sneaking around the explosive teen and managing to put a Santa hat on him. Bakugo wasn't exactly in the Christmas spirit, according to Ashido's dress code.

"And why would I want to learn from a bunch of nameless nobodies?"

"This is the holy night! Why are y'all talking about school?!" Mineta exclaimed, putting his gift among the others in a big pile.

"Well, Mineta is kinda right. Let's just enjoy the food" Sato said, coming from the kitchen with a big roasted chicken in hand.

"Sugar Man knows how to cook too!" The students cheered. Then a knock on the door was heard.

"Sorry for being late… have you all started already?" The tired voice was very known to them, their homeroom teacher. And a little surprise accompanied the scruffy man.

"Trick… or Threat?" Said the grey-haired small girl, looking at the man in black for confirmation.

"No no, you got it mixed…"

"It's Santa Eri!~" The teens exclaimed in unison delight at the sight of Eri, dressed in a Christmas themed dress, with gloves and a hat to match.

"H-how cute!~" Uraraka said, fawning over Eri-chan.

"It looks so well in you, Eri-chan!" Midoriya was quick to compliment once he spotted her.

"Did Togata-senpai come too?!" Kirishima asked excitedly.

"I told him we would be here but… he is celebrating with his classmates" Aizawa then turned to Eri, gently tapping her back. "Now go have fun"

And so the small girl took some careful but steady steps towards the small crowd greeting everyone as she passed by them. As she walked around, Midoriya noticed something on her face. The horn in her forehead grew a bit. It looked more pointy now. Aizawa probably saw his gaze because as Midoriya turned around again, the teacher was practically waiting for the question to come.

"Her horn grew again… right?"

"Yes…" Aizawa answered tiredly. "She's much more optimistic now. What you said to her before, about you all being there to help… she took your words very seriously"

"I see…" The green-haired teen said, smiling as he watched Eri interacting with everyone, still in her shy ways but breaking out of the shell bit by bit.

"Oh, what is this that I see? A party with a mild mood? After the Cultural Festival, I thought the great class 1-A would be an expert in- ow!"

"~sigh~ Come on, Monoma, it's Christmas Eve, gimme a break"

The door opened again and another small crowd quickly came in to escape from the cold outside. The guests for tonight's party, class 1-B. Of course, Monoma would somehow find a way to turn this into a competition, but he was cut short by the class rep, Kendo.

"Ah, you guys arrived just in time," Kaminari said, getting up to greet them along with Sero and Hagakure.

Everyone got quickly into the mood, eating, and chatting happily. Kirishima and Tetsutetsu already got into sumo wrestling, with Rin, Kamakiri, Kaibara, Ojiro, Bondo, and Shoji behind in the line. Kuroiro and Tokoyami quickly engaged in a talk with some obscure references going around. Yaoyorozu and Kendo started a duel of shogi, with Tokage, Shiozaki, Awase, Shoda, Honekuni, Iida, and Todoroki as spectators. Sato and Shishida were hosting their food eating mini-contest, in which Bakugo swore to "absolutely murder" Monoma. Kaminari, Sero, Tsuburaba, and Mineta were in a more hidden side, sharing their collections of, ahem, beauties. The purple midget quickly had to be removed for being too explicit. Aoyama and Fukidashi were in another corner, speaking of who knows what fabulous and stylish topic. Kodai and Yanagi were busy playing with some of the pets Koda was showing off. And last but not least, Ashido, Hagakure, Tsunotori, Komori, Jiro, and Tsuyu were all playing with Eri, who was also very interested in the sweets at the center table.

And aside from the heartwarming scene, Midoriya stood for a moment. His eyes wandered a little to the side, finding a certain someone far from everyone else, idly twirling a hair strand around her finger. Toga Himiko. He had to admit, seeing her in this state of tranquility was something not only rare but also enjoyable. Perhaps because she wasn't getting on anyone's nerves. Regardless, the green-haired teen felt that something was off with the current situation. His friends were all having a good time, and she was standing there, apparently neutral to the noise in the room.

Coming to think of it, it was odd of Himiko to be this calm. She didn't think even once before annoying whoever was in her reach. Plus, the blondie had an awful habit of inserting herself in any random talk or activity in which she wasn't called for, her definition of "getting acquainted" with everyone. Yet, on tonight's Christmas Eve, she wasn't bothering anyone. Not that Midoriya was complaining, but it made him feel weird deep down.

He didn't know for how long he stared at her, but the blondie slowly turned her head away from the window she was looking through and met his gaze. While Midoriya tensed a bit, imagining how to deal with her antics this time, Himiko simply smiled softly and waved at him, surprising the green-haired teen. Something was off with her. But that could wait. Midoriya heard his friends call him and he quickly joined them into the party, but not before giving a last glance at the blonde girl leaning on the wall.

The hours went by like a swift breeze as they enjoyed this moment, relaxing the max they could because what awaited them was only hard work. And now, for the main event of the night, the gift exchange. When they were planning the party, everyone from both classes got the name of someone else and this was the person they would give their gift. The colorful boxes with cute ribbons and other shapes wrapped in paper laid on an impressive pile. Some gifts had an… interesting shape when compared to others. Some were smaller, others had to be held with both hands. And to make things funnier, each person had to describe the person they got on the lottery until the others guessed who it was.

And the first person to go was none other than Eri, encouraged by Uraraka, Tsuyu, and Yaoyorozu. The silver-haired girl jumped from her seat at the couch, strategically close to the sweets at the table, and went to the pile where she looked for her gift. Picking up a small box wrapped in red wrapping with white bunny stamps, Eri shyly stood in the middle of the room.

"Umm…" She looked at Midoriya as if asking for confirmation, and he nodded with a smile, mouthing a "go on" to her. Breathing out slowly, Eri spoke again.

"The person I got is… kinda loud. This person looks a little mean but is a good person and… he goes… boom!" She said, moving her arms to emphasize her words. No more words were needed.

"It's Bakugo!" Both classes shouted in unison.

"Hah?!" Exclaimed the explosive teen, a little dumbfounded that it was the small girl from all people that got his name. Well, it wasn't a bad thing, but now he had to…

"Wow, this is so adorable~," Komori said, cooing at the sight of Eri, the gift in hands, and looking at Bakugo with expectant eyes.

"Come on, Baku bro, don't leave Eri-chan waiting" Said Kirishima.

"Shut up, I know that. Damn it!" Bakugo hastily got up and walked to the center to receive the gift. He stood tall in front of the small girl, looking down at her cute big eyes.

"Happy… birthday," She said, lifting the box to him and mustering a wavy smile, something she was training a lot too.

"The fu… no, you're supposed to say Merry Christmas" He picked the box from her hand, containing his natural aggressiveness the best he could. The cooing from those extras wasn't helping much, though. "What are you looking at, you fucks?!"

He was about to sit again when Kaminari intervened.

"Hey, Bakugo, open it, man"

"Yeah, we wanna see what you got" Sero joined in.

"I won't open it just so you can see, shitty Spark Plug!"

However, Bakugo felt a tug at the hem of his shirt. He didn't want to look down because he knew what it was. Eri once again held expectant eyes towards our explosive boy, and as much as he hated to admit it, Bakugo couldn't say no to that. Not after all she had been through.

"Oh, for fucks sake- okay! I'll freaking open it!" He shouted, but undid the ribbon on the box with care. Tearing the wrap and opening the box, Bakugo produced a quite curious object from it.

"It's… an egg?" Both classes said in unison.

"Umm, Eri-chan, you see, those are meant for Easter-" Boom. Before Sero could finish the sentence, Bakugo did a weak explosion, his glare telling the tape boy to shut up.

"Oi, Bakugo, aren't you forgetting to say something?~" Tokage said, liking to tease someone that wasn't from her class.

"Tch… thanks, kid" His face even softened as Eri smiled back at him, but the smug looks of his classmates quickly reverted Bakugo to his usual angry self. "What are you smiling at, you fucks?!"

And so the gift exchange went forward. Even Bakugo got into the game, a little forced but he played along nonetheless. The funniest part was trying to guess who was the person receiving the gift, with some clever hints like "the holiness in person", "walking glamour and fashion", "a normal but nice person", "cool as ice", and "a living robot". By a stroke of fate, Kirishima and Tetsutetsu picked each other, and what a surprise, both got karate gloves from each other.

The gifts were also something else, ranging from a cute shirt Hagakure got from Rin to a giant prop sword Eri got from Tokoyami, and Koda giving Shishida a special brush for thick fur. Since no one decided on a max value to spend on the gifts, you had cases like Uraraka giving Yanagi a small book about cosmic horror, and Jiro getting a top tier, clearly expensive, pair of headsets from Todoroki. And of course, Yaoyorozu wouldn't fall behind in that matter. She held a box that fit in her hand as she stood in the center of the common room.

"Well, the person I picked is very smart and dedicated" She started. It didn't narrow the options that much. "This person is also very brave and wants to help others at any cost" Again, not very specific. They were all training to be heroes.

"But… this person tends to cry sometimes-"

"Oh shit, it's Midoriya!" Kaminari, Sero, Awase, and Kaibara said together.

"Hahahahah! Did you hear that, Deku? Your definition is being a crybaby! Hah!" Bakugo laughed out loud.

"I don't cry like this! As often…" The green-haired teen said, slowly getting up to pick his gift because there was a little bit of truth to it. Yaoyorozu handed him the small box with an apologetic look on her face. The words she would normally use to describe him were, well, restricted by their current situation. Regardless, Midoriya accepted it with a sincere smile.

"Open it up, Midoriya"

"Yeah, we wanna see the luxurious gift YaoMomo brought" Said Hagaruke and Ashido.

"You girls, just because I'm from a rich family doesn't mean I spend a lot of money, you know…" The raven-haired girl defended herself.

"I'm joking, I'm joking~ But seriously, the tea you make is always so delicious~"

"It does make you feel like royalty, ribbit" Added the frog girl.

Seeing as everyone was curious, Midoriya didn't see why not. Everyone was doing that anyway, so he might as well do the same. Careful to not destroy the wrapping completely, Midoriya opened the small red box and looked inside, while Yaoyorozu watched with expectant eyes. Then, his eyes went wide like dishes, stars twinkling in his gaze.

"Oh my… oh my… GOODNESS!" And then he produced a small transparent packet from the box, with a card inside. "It's the shiny version of All Might's card from the All-Stars Heroes card game!" He exclaimed in excitement, looking closely at the card, holding it like a fragile crystal glass. His classmates laughed lightly at the overreacting of All Might's number one fan.

But then, he looked up at Yaoyorozu with a shocked face.

"Wait a minute, this was a limited edition that you could only get by buying the Silver Age All Might action figure during a very narrow time window. I didn't have the money at the time so I only got the figure later… how did you get it?"

"Oh, it wasn't that hard. My mother knows someone that used to work at the company that released the cards~" Yaoyorozu answered as if it was the most common thing in the world. Midoriya had to suppress the tears pooling at the corners of his eyes.

"Thanks, Yaoyorozu-san… ~sniff~ My collection is finally..."

Yaoyorozu leaned forward a little and spoke in a lower voice.

"Look at what is underneath"

Midoriya looked at the box again and lifted the red velvet cushion from the bottom of the box. And what he found was… as surprising as the rare card.

It was a small red leather belt, with a golden round plaque on it. With a quick look, he read the words "Good Boy" engraved on it. He glanced at Yaoyorozu, who held the most innocent of the smiles. Flipping the golden tag, he found more engravings, "Bad Boy". And finally, he noticed a tiny note written at the bottom of the box. For my naughty good boy~ xoxo.

"So, did you like it?" She asked with a gentle smile.

"Y-yeah… very much"

"I see~ I hope you, ahem, enjoy it"

She was planning something for tonight, wasn't she? Well, he kinda expected something to happen, anyway.

The exchange went on smoothly, everyone was having a good fun time until Ashido noticed one of the few gifts remaining. She knew what it was, being the one who bought it. The problem was the person on the receiving end of it. And what a convenience, Ojiro, and Komori picked each other, giving space for someone else to go next. Deciding to get over with this quickly, she got up from the couch with a heavy sigh, picked up her gift, and got into the center.

"The person I got is… ugh, I can't believe I'm doing this…" She whispered annoyed. "The person I got is… different. This person arrived without anyone asking, and make sure that everyone is aware of her presence, ~which drives me nuts…~" She whispered the last part but both classes knew exactly the feeling, especially the girls.

There was a moment of silence in the room. No one felt like mentioning the name, and Ashido was making an effort to avoid as many offenses as possible while describing the annoying blondie.

Speaking of which, Himiko remained all this time in her corner, sitting by the window and watching the night sky. It was only when she felt a ball of paper hit her head that she turned to the group reunited. Looking at both hero classes with a confused look, as all the eyes were focused on her, Himiko tilted her head.

"Eh? What?" Ashido sighed tiredly again and showed the box in her hands. "No… for me? Really?" Asked the blondie, surprise written on her face.

"Yeah, someone said that 'everyone feels a little lonely sometimes', even you, I suppose..." It stung her pride a little to say that but Ashido made an extra effort.

As for the blondie, Himiko remained in her place like a statue with a dumbfounded face. Ashido felt her eye twitch.

"C-come on, this is for you"

"You bought a gift for me, Pinky-chan?" Himiko said, slowly making her way to the center of the room.

"Yeah yeah, no big deal. Now come pick this quickly" She said, closing the distance between them with hasty steps and shoving the box into the blondie's arms, only for it to be slightly pushed back.

"But I didn't buy anything for you, no one told me about it. Not that I can leave this place anyway but-"

"It's fine, Momo-chan got me covered on the second gift" Her patience was already running thin. She pushed the box forward again.

"But I would feel bad if I didn't give you something" Himiko pushed the box again.

"Don't worry that little head of yours, okay?~" Ashido forced a smile to appear, although a little shaky.

"You didn't need to, Pinky-chan~"

"I know, right?~ But take it anyway"

"I absolutely cannot, hahaha~"

"Oh, but I insist~"

"But I think I should at least-"

"Just take the gift, woman!" Ashido shouted. Looking at Himiko's face, it became clear to her that this back and forth was done on purpose. As usual, the blondie was playing with her. She sighed once again.

"Oh, do you mind if I open now, Pinky-chan?"

"Go on, be my guest" Ashido answered, rolling her eyes as Himiko carefully undid the ribbon and tried to undo the wrapping paper without tearing it. "I don't know what you like or not so I worked with what I know..." Ashido said, pondering whether or not it was okay to take the gift back.

"I can't wait to see it then!~ If it was Pinky-chan who chose then it must be- ~gasp~" As Himiko opened the box and looked inside, her eyes widened in surprise. What she produced from it was a cardigan, similar in color and size to the one she used to have. "Oh my gosh, this is so sweet!~ Thank you, Pinky-chan!~" She exclaimed, jumping in place with her hands up, which surprised everyone watching the scene unfolding. It was almost as if she wasn't a complete psycho and a murderer.

"Again, don't mention it, I only did that because Midori thought it would be… ugh…"

"Is that so? Thank you anyway, Pinky-chan!~ This will be my new treasure!~"

"Whatever. Just don't get used to it- wha-?!"

Refusing to look directly at the bouncing girl, Ashido didn't see the bear hug coming from the blondie, neither the kiss on her cheek. She went stiff like a board as Himiko lifted her a bit from the ground and twirled around.

"Thank you so, so much, Mina-chan~ I don't have anything for you so please take this hug, okay?~"

"L-let go of me! How many loose screws do you have?!" Ashido pushed the blondie away and broke free from Himiko's hold. Huh, the inhibitor collar would have been triggered if Himiko tried something funny. So… was that a legitimate hug?

Even with that awkward moment, the gift exchange finished just fine. Midnight came, making it officially Christmas, and so the two classes cheered with their cans of soda in hand and wishing well to each other.

"Just a minute, guys, I have to make a call" Midoriya got up and quickly excused himself, grabbing a coat and stepping outside. With the phone in hand, he tapped one of his contacts.

"Oh, hi there Izuku, Merry Christmas~" Sounded the voice from the other end.

"Merry Christmas, Mei"

"Sorry I couldn't make it to the party with you guys, but my class insisted on having everyone together"

"It's fine, you should hang with your friends too"

"Yeah yeah, I know. They did mention I had been spending too much time with you guys from the Hero Course. Something about 'hogging the clientele', hahaha"

"Well, at least to me, I know where to go when needing support gear"

"Oh, and you care to share your supplier? I might offer a partnership~" Hatsume said playfully.

"I think you know her. She's the most beautiful in the entire Support Course~"

"Aw, you flatter me. Makes me consider giving a good discount~"

They laughed lightly.

"Anyway, I wish you were here too. It doesn't feel quite right without you, Yu and Nemuri around"

"Don't worry babe, you won't have to cope with the lack of my stunning presence for long~"

"Is that so? Then I'll be waiting~"

They said bye and hung up the call. Then, Midoriya felt a very known sensation sneak up in his back. A ghost touch that didn't come from outside, the exact opposite. It was faint, almost imperceptible if he got distracted. But if he focused enough, the phantom touch would turn into a warm feeling of something soft pressing against him. Then, his mind registered a pair of imaginary arms wrapping around his body. A faint noise echoed inside his head, the sound of clear bells that carried a light laugh with it.

"I see Hatsume is getting more confident in her looks," Said the former user of One for All and mentor of All Might.

"Merry Christmas to you, Nana-san"

"Thanks, to you too. Say, you didn't prepare anything for me, did you?" Asked the ghost within One for All and his mind.

"Well, I couldn't buy everyone a present, but with you, I can at least make this" And so, Midoriya made a mental image of a small box wrapped in gift wrap and with a red ribbon on top of it.

Opening it, Nana found a round silver locket. And inside the locket was a picture, which was the most surprising part. Toshinori in his buff form, flexing his arms up, along with herself and Izuku, somehow mimicking his pose. They all had their hero costumes and big smiles crossing their faces.

This was but a construction inside Midoriya's head, she knew it, but that meant so much to her that Nana struggled to believe it was anything less than real. Well, considering her very state of being, it was a reality to her.

"Aw, you shouldn't have bothered~" Nana joked as she traced the edges of the locket with a finger, touched with the gesture.

"I feel like I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you Nana-san. Not only for the time you helped me when I got unconscious, but also for everything else. You helped me see somethings about me that I wasn't aware of, and I'm very grateful to have you in my head" Nana remained silent for a moment but he could feel a faint sense of agitation somewhere inside his mind.

"Oh, Izuku, aren't you the sweetest guy in the world~," Said the former user of One for All, and Midoriya felt a brisk sensation in his cheek, a glimpse of what would be a sweet little kiss.

Trying to get rid of the flush that certainly got to his face, Midoriya shook his head and headed inside again. However, as he opened the door, he found a pair of yellow cat eyes.

"H-Himiko?!" He jumped back, looking at the grinning blonde with wide eyes and in a defensive stance.

"I was wondering when you would come in again~"

"... What are you doing here?" He lowered his arms but kept with a frown on his face. The night was so good until now…

"Well, I can't get through this door without getting permission, remember?" Himiko said, pointing at the white ring around her neck. For her to leave, it had to be either class time or with the voice command of someone.

"And what would you do out here anyway?" Midoriya asked with a skeptical tone.

"Nothing, just chill with you~"

Crossing his arms, Midoriya looked at her with a face that said really?

"Come on, Izuku, it won't hurt to be at least a little bit amicable with me"

"Say it for yourself"

"~sigh~ Can't I at least step out? I want some fresh air"

He seriously considered whether or not denying her wishes would be of any use, but in the end, Himiko would keep being herself and insist on getting closer to him.

"Whatever… Command, Midoriya Izuku, disable perimeter limit" he voiced the commands and the collar blinked with a blip. Himiko took a tempting step outside as if she didn't fully believe it was safe to do so. Of course, this was an act.

Jumping in place and clapping her hands like a small kid, she giggled and took a deep breath in, releasing slowly and looking up at the night sky.

"Thanks, Izuku~"

"Don't mention it" He answered coldly.

Since she was here now, Midoriya decided to keep an eye on her. It wasn't as if Himiko could escape from U.A. or something, but he felt that she might cause trouble for someone else if she had the opportunity. So they remained in silence for a while, Himiko enjoying the view and Midoriya facing the exact opposite direction of her.

"So, Izuku"

"... What now?"

"Where is my gift?"

"Your… what?" He turned to her with a mix of confusion and curiosity on his face.

"My Christmas gift. From you, I mean" She said, twirling in place to show off the cardigan she just received. "Mina-chan gave me this, but it was you who decided that I should be included, right?" She asked with a smile crossing her lips.

"Umm... well, yes, but what does it have to do with me giving you a gift?"

"Oh, I imagined that you said that to your friends because you wanted to give me something"

"Hah, only in your head, that's for sure"

"Oh well, a girl can dream. So… can I ask you to give me something else instead? It doesn't even need to be a physical thing. Please, please, please?~" Himiko said, jumping closer to Midoriya and putting her hands together above her head as she bowed down.

"What? No, I…" Considering the scene Himiko pulled with Ashido earlier, Midoriya felt that this would take a while if he kept refusing, and right now he didn't want to deal with her because it was always a mental and sometimes physical drain to his energies. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he sighed, already feeling tired. "Okay... but it better not be something stupid"

Perking up, Himiko smiled at him and cheered, tossing her arms up. Then, looking around quickly, she leaned forward to whisper her wish to him.

"Can you fuck me really good, Izuku?~"

Midoriya scowled.

"What did I just say about being stupid?"

"Okay, okay, sheesh. Hmmm… how about you praise me for my good behavior lately?"

"I wouldn't classify it as good behavior"

"You're not making this very easy, Izuku, dear" She whined.

"Then let's forget about it-"

"No no no, wait! Umm…" Himiko put a finger in her lips as she pondered, squinting her eyes close and humming. Then, she piped up and her eyes shone with excitement. "Oh, I know!"

Midoriya looked at her with a mildly unamused face. Normally, he would be on the edge around her or act as mean as possible to counter her attempts at getting closer to him, but right now Midoriya couldn't feel less interested in whatever this crazy blonde had in mind. So much that he had a huge delay reacting to her closing the gap between them. Her yellow eyes seemed to glow in the night as she stared right into his green ones.

"Can you give me a hug, Izuku?" She asked softly. Her voice lacked the usual cheerful tone. Along with the request itself, this caught Midoriya pretty off guard.

"A-a hug?"

"Yeah. It would be nice if it came from you, but I'm sticking with just hugging you if you don't feel like touching me"

He took a moment to process that.

"That's it? Just a hug?"

"I mean, I have a long, long list of things I want to do with you and for you to do with me~," She said with a smug face. "But I should know better than try and force you into doing them"

"Well, ain't that rich coming from you now…" As he said that, Midoriya felt the anger towards the blonde inside him flare-up. The nerve of this girl…

"I know, I know, that's still asking a lot. But come on, just a hug. I won't bite. Unless you want me to~" Himiko laughed but once she saw Midoriya not doing the same, she shut her mouth. Putting her best puppy eyes and opening her arms, she pleaded for his permission with a look.

Midoriya breathed in and released yet another tired sigh. He might as well get over with this and go back inside to have fun with his friends. Lifting his arms slightly, he looked at her with a bored face.

"Do it"

Himiko laughed lightly.

"I knew you wouldn't resist my charms for long~"

"Don't force it"

"Hai~"

And in a split second, Himiko closed the gap between them, rolling her arms around Midoriya's torso like snakes and practically gluing her body against his. He was reminded that Himiko was fairly stronger than she appeared to be, but it wasn't a crushing hug. No, it was just tight, long, warm even. The crazy blondie nuzzled against his chest and under his chin, all while the emerald child stood still, surprised with the act as a whole.

"Haa~ You're so warm, Izuku~"

"..."

"Ne, Izuku… can I ask you something else?"

"... If it is sex you can-"

"No no, not yet~," She said, looking up at him, her arms loosening around him and sliding down, but still keeping him within her reach. "Can I… I was wondering if… if you wouldn't…"

She hesitated, and for some reason, this annoyed him more than her usual self.

"Spit it out, Himiko, I don't have all night"

"... Can I suck your blood?"

His eyes widened in shock and he immediately took a step back, dragging her along as she kept her arms around his waist.

"I knew it! You were just waiting to-"

"Izuku, listen, I just-"

"No, fuck off!"

"Just- just listen for once, okay?!"

And then they stopped. Something in the way she asked, no, begged for him to stop and listen to what she had to say made the green-haired teen cease his attempt to break free. And Himiko didn't move any further either. Once again she looked right into his eyes. Taking a deep breath, Himiko tried to explain herself.

"I know it is hard for you to understand. You're a "normal" person, after all. I like blood, you know that damn well, and it's been so long since I had a chance to taste it... But that's not the reason why I want it now"

Despite his better judgment, Midoriya dared to let this go further.

"And… what is the reason then?"

"You," She answered without skipping a beat. "I would never forget the taste of your sweet, sweet blood, Izuku. It is special to me, but because it is you"

"You still don't get it, do you…? I hate-"

"Me, yeah, I heard loud and clear all the times you told me that. But I don't care, I still love you"

Midoriya was baffled. Not only Himiko looked a lot more like a normal highschool girl, even while talking so passionately about blood, but he also didn't feel on the edge with her being so close to him.

"It's just a little suck, it won't hurt much. All I want for this Christmas is a little drop of your sweet, precious blood~" She asked again, looking straight into his green eyes.

As for Midoriya, confusion was the definition of his current state of mind. And here he thought Himiko couldn't go any crazier. Who asks to suck someone else's blood? This was the reminder that Himiko wasn't normal. She wasn't nice, she was a menace in the disguise of a girl, and he knew that better than anyone. Considering the living hell she forced him to go through, she might as well walk hand in hand with the devil, as far as he was concerned. So, he questioned himself, why was he feeling divided.

Midoriya was torn apart. His mind screamed at him to shove her aside, punch her if needed, and get as far as possible from Himiko. But deep in his heart, he felt that under all that psychosis and pesky stubbornness… there could be something remaining to save. Would she put up that huge act all this time just to make his life miserable? Himeko was more fond of physical pain, that he knew for sure. What was the point in all this? He didn't know anymore. Rather, it changed somewhere along the way, as he started to see the blondie under a different light.

Another question took over his mind now: was Midoriya willing enough to dig deeper and see if he could find in Himiko anything worth saving? Was it even possible to save a villain? Well, he didn't think so, but… what if she wasn't one?

"~sigh~ It was worth the shot, I guess," Himiko said, looking away from Midoriya. Gazing up at the stars one more time, she turned to him again and gave another warm hug, trying to feel as much of his body as possible, burning the sensation in her memory. "I'll leave you now, Izuku. I know resisting my charms for so long can be tiring so-"

"Why?..." Her joke was cut by a simple, vague question.

"Huh?"

"Why? Why me?... Why do this? Have all this trouble? Do you really think there could be something, anything between us?" He questioned her. Her hands were half-way on letting go, but Himiko slowly hugged his waist again.

"You don't?" They started at each other as the air felt heavier. "Oh Izuku, I thought we had discussed that before~ Are you going to tell me that after all this time, all the loops I jumped through to prove my feelings for you, you didn't consider it even once?"

He was not going to admit that in front of her, but his face was enough of an answer.

"Keep in mind, Izuku, that you're more than worth the trouble~"

She kept staring at his face but Midoriya looked elsewhere. It was simply too mentally draining to deal with her sometimes. This time, however, something felt different. So, in the spirit of the holiday or maybe because he simply wanted to bring it all to and end, Midoriya sighed tiredly. He didn't make a decision, but for now, it fell into the category of why not?.

"I'm going to regret this, ain't I?..." He said, with a tone of defeat in his voice. Himiko quirked one eyebrow in curiousness. Then, the green-haired teen slowly reached for the collar of his jacket, pulling down the layers of clothes beneath it. "Just- ~sigh~ get done with it quickly," He said, reluctantly exposing his neck.

Himiko widened her eyes in surprise and she squealed in joy.

"You mean it, Izuku?! For real?!"

"Yeah yeah, whatever…"

"Oh my, oh my… aw, that's so nice of you, I knew you had a soft spot for lil me~"

"I might change my mind..." He said dryly.

"Okay, okay, breathe in… ~sigh~. Oh, right, the collar. It will trigger if I bite you. Apparently, love bites are not a thing in the system…" She said, rolling her eyes.

Midoriya pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Command, Midoriya Izuku, disable close combat restrictions…" The white ring bleeped, signaling it got reconfigured. Then, Himiko slowly approached Midoriya, her eyes fixed at the fair skin exposed to the cold air of Winter.

The moon shone brightly despite being in a half phase, which gave a faint silver glow to his eyes. The blondie carefully rested her hands on his shoulders, inching closer and closer at an awfully slow pace, at least to him. She supposed anything beyond that would scare the green teen, despite his tough act towards her. Himiko felt his sweet scent of cinnamon and mint, a sensation she didn't feel in a long time. Meanwhile, Midoriya tried to get a hold of all his muscles at once.

As the blondie got closer to her target, Midoriya felt her hot breath brush briskly against his skin, and the danger alarms inside his head went off like crazy. It took him a lot of concentration to not flashback into the room. It was past him to feel like this, it had to be by now, otherwise, he simply failed into getting over this fear. And then, the contact.

Midoriya flinched slightly despite his efforts to turn into a statue, but the surprise quickly got followed by confusion and curiosity. He expected to feel a piercing sensation, but all he got was a warm and slightly wet touch on his skin. Himiko just planted a kiss at the nook of his neck. This was definitely not what he expected to happen, neither what came next.

Himiko started to plant more kisses on the region while her hands moved in small circles, massaging his shoulders and rubbing his arms softly.

"Stiff as you are, Izuku, I'll end hurting you. So please, relax, okay?" She said calmly, passing to give small licks on his neck and suck on it, leaving faint hiccups here and there. Liking it or not, Midoriya slowly felt his muscles get less tense, and he somehow got his mind to step down from overdrive more. He even moved his head to the side unconsciously, making it easier for Himiko to access his exposed neck.

She took a moment to back off a little and admire the faint marks that remained on his neck, remembering their "first date" with fondness. Then, with surgical precision, she opened her mouth and her white fangs brushed against his skin, finding the exact spot where she used to bite before. Midoriya felt a chill run down his spine as her hot breath brushed against his neck. And so, the piercing sensation.

Being locked with Himiko and Himiko only for so long, Midoriya ended noticing the smallest details as the time passed. For example, she didn't go full vampires, rupturing arteries, or veins. Her fangs were not that long and sharp, hence why she needed a device to quickly drain blood from her targets. Another thing was that she was fond of the act of sucking blood this way, given how she squirmed lightly with each suck and sort of… moaned. Or was it because it was him?...

Anyway, Midoriya shook these thoughts away. He got so stunned by this whole situation that he forgot to pull her away. It was meant to be a small treat, not a whole meal. Grabbing her strongly by the arms, Izuku pushed Himiko away, but she moved her hands behind his head and neck, managing to keep them still very close.

"That's enough for you," He said with an assertive tone.

"I know, just let me-" Himiko leaned forwards and gave a long lick up his neck, also taking the opportunity to leave a quick peck on his cheek, which made Midoriya flinch back and push her away at once. The blonde giggled.

"There, I cleaned it for you~"

"Hmpf, are you done already?" He said, fixing his clothes and placing one hand over the bitten area.

"Yes, I'm done and satisfied~ See? It wasn't that bad, now was it?~"

Ah yes, that smug look she held right now. It ignited the anger inside him and made Midoriya want to Detroit Smash her face. Just at 0.5%... But Himiko had other plans as she stepped back while staring at him, her smile never wavering.

"Well, I'll leave you to have fun with everyone now. You should reactivate the restrictions" She said, stepping back into the dorms, but remaining at the doorway.

"Huh- ah, yes! Command, Midoriya Izuku, enable perimeter limit and close combat restrictions" The white ring bleeped again as the configurations were reset.

"Well, thanks for the gift, Izuku. It meant… a lot" Himiko said, retreating inside the dorms in silence and disappearing to her room, unnoticed by the other classmates inside.

As for Midoriya, he waited a bit more outside. He didn't want to explain any hiccups. However, there was another reason for him waiting outside. Looking at the stars, along with his thoughts, and Nana, Midoriya wondered where this would go from now on. This situation with Himiko made an unexpected turn, and him wondering if she could be a good person wasn't a good sign. Probably.

He would leave the deep thinking for later on, as suggested by Nana. He still had a party to enjoy and friends to have fun with.


"So, for how long do I have to keep the blindfold again?" The green-haired teen asked.

"Until we're ready, Cutie. You can't rush these things, you know?~" Said the invisible girl as she and the others got busy with who knows what.

"It would be easier if you told me what these things are"

"It's called a surprise for a reason, Izu," Setsuna said.

"I'm still not sure if this is an okay thing to do…" Ibara spoke.

"Relax, girls, it will be fun. Pony even went the extra mile to fix it all for us" Nemuri said.

"U-umm, I didn't have the materials for everyone so I had to improvise and adapt some parts. It should be fine since it is your clothes, anyway…" Said the short blondie, with a hint of nervousness in her voice.

"I'm sure it will be perfect, Pony" Itsuka assured her friend.

"You can drop by the Development Studio anytime you want to check and see if there is something useful," Mei told the short girl.

"Oh, really? Thanks~"

"Not gonna lie, the competition seems a bit… unfair" Reiko commented.

"~sigh~ No need to remind me of that…" Kyoka also complained.

"Well, it's not my fault some of us have obscenely huge tits"

"Can you at least not look at me while saying this, Ochako?" The pink-haired inventor said, clearly annoyed.

"What? It's just the truth" Replied the brunette.

"I thought huge breasts were always a good thing... And you're not that modest either, Ochako" Yui said in her flat, cold tone. The last comment made the brunette mumble something since now she was under the gaze of Kyoka, Reiko, Komori, and Tsuyu.

"Come on girls, you know I'm joking…"

"Well, jokes or not, our precious boy loves breasts of all shapes and sizes, right, Sweetie?~" Yu said, hugging Izuku (still blindfolded) and nuzzling on his chest.

"You make it sound like I'm the ultimate pervert…" Said the emerald child.

"Aw, don't feel like that, Izuku. We all know you love us regardless of our looks" Momo said, caressing his head gently. Then, she leaned and whispered in his ears. "But my good boy loves his master's breasts the most, don't you?~"

"Oi, I heard that!" Yu said, pulling Izuku closer in her embrace. "Of course he prefers mine, right, Sweetie?~"

"Huh… well, as long as My Love likes my chest size, I'm happy with it~," Kinoko said, and there was a brief moment of silence before the girls coed at the short brunette.

"Aw, can you be sweeter?" Nemuri said, rubbing Kinoko's head, much to the brunette's embarrassment. "But that's enough chit-chat. Pony, dear, if you will"

"Hai!~"

Izuku felt Yu let go of him and a pair of hands held his own. He followed who he assumed was Pony, then turned around as she guided him.

"Umm, girls, before we go any further, I have to say… I wanted to give you all something, but I couldn't find the time to buy anything specific and I'm not sure I had all that money on me, to begin with, so-"

"It's okay, Deku-kun. You don't have an obligation to give us all gifts" Ochako cut his mumbling spree right at the beginning.

"But I-"

"If you want to give us all a gift, there's something you can do, ribbit ribbit~"

"Okay, Izu-kun, you can take the blind now," Pony said, and so he did. Once he opened his eyes, Izuku found… quite the sight to see.

"Tcha-tchan~ Merry Christmas!~" The girls said in unison. Meanwhile, the teen took a long moment to appreciate what was in front of him.

The girls he loved and cared for so much, all dressed in skimpy outfits themed after Christmas. For example, most of them were wearing a red tube dress with white fluffy strips at the hem and top part of it. The length barely went below the waist. The variant was a combination of a top and skirt, both covering the bare minimum, which was the case for Mina, Setsuna, Yui, Ochako, and Yu. Another fine detail he noticed, Momo and Nemuri were using thin black stocking, adding to the outfits. But perhaps the most curious cases were Ibara and Pony. The vine girl used some plain white robes loosely tied around her figure, a golden halo above her head, and a pair of wings in her back. As for the short foreign girl, a brown top and shorts, both covering the bare minimum, and the tip of her nose was painted red.

"So, like what you see, Honey?~" Nemuri asked seductively, breaking the green teen out of his entranced state.

"Eh…? Ah, yes! Uh, this was the surprise? Wow, I don't even know what to say, you all look so… wow~" He fumbled with his words. It didn't matter that he had seen them naked many times before, he always found them as stunning as the first time he fell in love with them. And the girls giggled at his loss of words.

"Did you make all of these, Pony?" He asked the short blondie.

"Well, I asked everyone if they would agree on making a little cosplay with me, and they said yes so… L-like I said, I had to adapt here and there. Did you like it?" Pony said, shifting nervously in her place.

"Aw, she's bonding with everyone already. Keep an eye open, Izuku, you might get more surprises like this from now on~" Echoed Nana's voice inside his head.

"Yeah, I'm glad Pony is adjusting well. Also, it kinda makes me happy to see them together like this"

"Mhmm, you and your 'little' friend, am I right?~" Only now that Nana pointed out, Izuku realized his pants we're feeling quite tight. To the girls, however, it didn't go unnoticed as they were already circling him.

"My my, Izuku, if I knew you'd get that happy just by seeing us, I would have tried cosplay way earlier~," Said the R-rated hero as her hands traveled down his body and gently groped the bulge under his pants.

"I-I just like to see you all are getting along so well- ah~" A faint moan escaped his lips as one by one, the girls started to feel his body, stimulating it in some way or another.

"Oh, Deku-kun, that's so sweet of you… but this is only the first part of the surprise~," She said and laughed lightly, but he could already sense the lust dripping from her voice.

While being undressed and covered with kisses, Izuku was practically carried to the large bed in the middle of the room. Looking up, he found all the eyes focused on his almost naked figure. They gleamed with desire, and the girls could barely contain themselves behind the sweet, innocent smiles they held. To think that the one thing preventing them from going all out against each other was Izuku himself.

"Uuh, can I ask why Ibara has wings?" He pointed at the vine girl.

"She's the angel that goes on top of the tree, right, Ibara?~" Setsuna said, earning a yelp from Ibara as she slapped the girl's butt.

"I still think a real angel would use more… modest clothing," Ibara said, adjusting the loose white robes to cover her shoulders a bit more.

"Don't give me that, we all know you're a naughty, curious angel~" And so the lizard girl proceeded to grope her friend's breasts while the vine head blocked the best she could.

"And I'll guess you're the red-nose reindeer," He turned to Pony again and she replied with a happy nod.

"Alright, before we get to the fun part- hupp~" Nemuri pulled Izuku up and made him sit on her lap hugging him from behind. "This Santa Mommy came to give you a lot of gifts, but only if you were a good boy this year. Have you been a good boy, Izuku? Or have you been a… naughty, naughty boy, huh?~" She said, whispering the last part in his ears and sending chills down his spine.

"Oh, he has been a good boy alright, haven't you, Izuku?~" Momo said, opening the small box she gave to him as her gift. Izuku thought she might want him to use it right away so he brought it with him. The raven-haired girl gently put the red collar around his neck, making it as tight as possible without choking him or making it uncomfortable. She took a moment to admire the golden round tag, tracing it with her index finger.

"Really? What a shame, I have a thing for naughty boys… but, we can work something to you too~" Nemuri said, once again rubbing her hand over the stiffness between his legs. With a glance, she signaled the other girls to do as they planned.

For starters, Ochako sat on her knees next to him, cupping his cheeks and planting a soft kiss on his lips that quickly got more heated and passionate. On the other side, Setsuna started to lick and suck his nipples, using her hands to massage his arm.

Nemuri finally removed the last piece of cloth in the way, sliding his boxers down and freeing his already hard dick. Her fingers wrapped around it, slowly stroking him and earning a couple of low moans from the green teen.

Taking the opportunity, Mei and Yui got on each side of him as Nemuri pushed his waist up. The two girls then pulled down the top of their dresses, letting their breasts bounce freely. Izuku watched dazedly as the two girls surrounded his cock with their soft mounds, moving them up and down while looking back at him.

"Tit fuck is better when you do it this way, right Babe?~," Said the pink-haired girl.

"Here, the boobs you love so much. Enjoy your gift~" Yui said, still in her monotone voice, but with a gleam of lust in her eyes.

"Oi, don't go flaunting your boobs so much, you too…" Kyoka mumbled, licking the tip of his dick.

Izuku jerked his hips up as he felt her tongue make circles, then she swallowed the head, sucking it like a vacuum. Nemuri moved her hand further down to fondle his balls while she nibbled the tip of his ears, blowing softly after and making the teen shudder from top to bottom.

"You can leave it all to us for now, Honey. Just be a good boy and enjoy it, okay?~"

"Y-yes~ ~huff~ fuck~" He was already starting to pant. Normally, he was the one taking the initiative and the girls would patiently- okay, maybe not so patient- wait for their turn with him, but all this attention at the same time was awesome too.

Ochako kept kissing him on the lips, bringing one hand between her legs as she squirmed and moaned inside his mouth. Setsuna changed to licking his chest and abs, while Yui and Mei sped up a bit. The sensory overload quickly got him on the edge, activating his Quirk. As the sparks flew by, the two busty girls went even faster and so did Kyoka. At the last moment, Mina got behind the purple-haired girl and gave her a "little push", making Kyoka swallow his entire length in one go and making Izuku cum.

She gagged at first with the great amounts of white-hot stuff spurting down her throat, but she was used enough to it by now to somehow recover.

Sitting up while gasping for air, she turned to the pink-skinned girl who held a smug grin on her face.

"Mina! ~coff~ I told you to not do that without warning first"

"Oh come on, that's the fun part~"

"Let's not start a fight now, you two," Said Yu, getting between the two. Then, she pointed down at Izuku. "And look, we can't let that go to waste, right?~" She then bent over, collecting all the spilled white stuff from Izuku's dick, while Yui and Mei did the same, picking up what fell on their breasts with a finger. Meanwhile, the green teen watched breath taken, not knowing where to look, being surrounded by so many gorgeous girls.

Next, Nemuri made him stand on his knees, and then Itsuka got on all fours in front of him, slowly swaying her hips and squirming her legs together.

"Look, Honey, Itsuka has awesome legs, don't you think?~" She whispered in his ears.

"Yeah..." Izuku answered unfocused, admiring the show.

"It's like they're begging for you to slip your cock between her thighs, right?~"

The dark-haired woman guided his hands to firmly grasp Itsuka's ass, sticking his dick between her smooth thighs. He moved his hips back and forth, making the ginger head mew in pleasure as she felt his hot rod rubbing against her entrance. Meanwhile, Nemuri pulled the top of her dress down, freeing her large mounds, which she pressed against his back, rubbing her smooth body on him. She rubbed his inner thighs as he kept moving his hips, even giving a slap to his ass, which made the green teen yelp in surprise.

"Itsuka, is it our turn already?" Kinoko asked, biting her lower lip in anticipation. By her side, Pony shuffled in place, also looking expectant. The ginger head frowned a bit as she was starting to feel really good, but a deal was a deal.

"~sigh~ Alright, changing~"

And so she gave place to the two short girls. Kinoko laid down on her back while Pony got on top of her. Both girls looked at the emerald teen with expectant, lustful eyes as they ground against each other.

"Here, let me help you out~" Nemuri placed her hands on his hips, pushing him forward. Izuku slipped his dick between the two pussies, making both Kinoko and Pony shudder at the sensation. She guided Izuku on every move, once again teasing him by biting his ears and sucking his neck, while the two girls mewled in pleasure, being fucked at the same time by the guy they loved so much. Moved by the need for more of him, they rocked their bodies back and forth. Their small breasts pressed and rubbed each other, which felt a little awkward at first but soon added to the pleasure they felt. Their low moans and whimpers increased as Nemuri moved his hips faster. Izuku felt surprisingly amazing, enjoying the new experience. Being fully controlled like this also felt good, in a certain way. Getting close to his limit again, sparks started to fly again and the girls started to shuffle, trying to slip his dick inside their soaked entrances.

"P-Pony-chan~ move a bit- mmm~"

"W-wait, Kinoko-chan- ah~ I want him to- mmm~ do it inside~"

"No way- ahn~ I was first~ Mmm~"

"We never agreed- uh~ on that~"

Unknown to the two short girls, their little fight and squirming while still sandwiching Izuku's cock put him on the verge of his climax. Nemuri gave him a little help, jerking off the base of his dick, and then she thrust her hips forward, pushing Izuku along. He released his hot seed between the two girls covering their bellies with the white stuff while their juices poured down and they moaned loudly.

"Now, you two, let's not get hasty. There's plenty of Izuku to all of us, right, Honey?~" She said cupping his cheeks and turning his head to give a messy smooch on his lips before he could even answer. She broke the kiss with a wet smack, leaving the green teen in a slightly dazed state.

"... Yeah, don't worry about it~," he said, a smug grin crossing his lips. "So, is it my turn now?~" He said, grasping one of Nemuri's large breasts in one hand and gently fondling it.

"Hmm, I don't know, good boys like you should be pampered. But..." She flipped the round golden tag on his neck. "I guess you can do both, my naughty boy~"

And then she wrapped her arms around him, dragging Izuku down as she laid on the bed. He rested on his hands, his already erect member rubbing between her legs under the skirt of the dress that wasn't really covering a lot. Nemuri snapped her fingers.

"Girls, undress," She said, quickly getting rid of her clothes too. Holding on to his shoulders and wrapping her legs around his waist, she licked her lips. "This is where the fun part starts~"

BOOOM

The door of the Lovenest forcefully came down to the floor, which was telling a lot since it was meant to slide open and close. Everyone looked in shock in that direction, startled by the loud noise and all the smoke. Normally. Mei's inventions would fail spectacularly like this, but she revised the systems more than once and she was on a streak of days without disasters, so what could have caused such a violent event? As the smoke cleared, the answer appeared. They all wished it didn't, though.

Let's go back in time a couple of minutes, about half an hour.

. . . . .

It is past midnight, and the party is coming to its end. The guys from 1-B were back at their dorms and in the common room, a few students from 1-A remained.

"Hey you all, don't go to sleep too late just because you are on a short break," Said Aizawa as he came inside, crossing the room and looking around. "Where is Eri?" He asked the four boys on the couch.

"Oh, she fell asleep over there. We didn't want to wake her up" Kirishima pointed across the room, where Eri slept peacefully in a large bean bag, using someone's jacket as a blanket, probably Shoji's, given the size and extra sleeves.

Aizawa calmly walked to her and crouched down, giving a soft push to the girl. She stirred a bit and woke up, sitting up and rubbing her eyes.

"Time to go?" she asked the scruffy teacher.

"Yeah. Come on, I'll carry you" He said offering a hand.

Eri looked around, still half asleep.

"I wanted to say thanks to Uraraka-san and Tsu-san, and everyone else"

"Were they nice to you?"

"Hai~ Everyone was really... ~yawn~ nice to me"

"I don't see them around here. Here, jump up" Putting Eri on his back, Aizawa returned to the guys sitting at the couch. "I suppose everyone else already went to bed"

"I guess so, sensei. The girls headed up together and the rest went one after another" Answered Sero.

"Even Deku?" Asked the silver-haired girl from her place in Aizawa's back.

"Midoriya left not long ago," Todoroki said.

"Oh..." The small girl looked a little let down upon hearing this.

"Don't be so sad, Eri-chan, we still have a few days before the Hero Work Studies, so we can all play together again. Right, Aizawa-sensei?" Kaminari said with a bright smile, trying to cheer her up.

"Sure, you can thank everyone later on. There will be plenty of opportunities for you" Aizawa confirmed, instantly getting a more bright expression from Eri. He was well aware of her mental condition and back story, and given that her power was somewhat tied to her emotional state, it was only natural to expose her to healthy interactions like this, at the right doses, of course. He expected to see a gradual increase in progress with her Quirk as Eri became more and more open to interacting with people. There was a lot of the world that she didn't know, and it was one of his jobs to show this kid that had lived in the dark what good the world had to offer.

"So… bye-bye, Kirishima-kun, Sparky-kun, Tape-kun, IcyHot-kun~" She waved at the boys as Aizawa headed outside, putting his coat over her so she wouldn't be directly exposed to the cold wind.

"She didn't get all of our names yet, hahaha..." Kaminari said, waving back at her.

"Not only that, but she also got some of the names Bakugo uses" Sero added.

"At least Bakugo doesn't curse as much with her around" Todoroki commented in his flat tone.

"Man, she's attached to Midoriya, right?" Kirishima said, stretching his arms up.

"He's pretty likable, and there's the fact he saved her" The three other teens looked at Todoroki. "What?"

"Uhh… nothing. Oh yeah, guys, check this out" Kaminari said, showing his wrist. "You know how the trackers will warn if we get too distant from each other? Well, since they are down for maintenance, I thought of testing a few things with mine, and guess what I found?"

"Bro, are you sure you can tweak those?" Said the red-haired boy with a concerned face.

"It's fine, I didn't tamper anything"

"So what did you find?" Asked the tape boy.

"I discovered it by accident, but the sensors work on radio waves. And if I use my quirk like this," Kaminari proceeded to take off his bracelet and place it near to his ear. His hand then shot tiny yellow sparks in arcs. "I can hear them pinging each other"

"No way, so it's like a tracker?" Kirishima asked, eyes wide with surprise and an exciting smile crossing his face.

"Yeah, wanna try?" Said the blondie, placing the bracelet close to Kirishima's ear. The hardening boy got even more excited as he heard a blip noise in the middle of the soft hum from the electrical current.

"Cool! You could use something like this as an item too"

"I was thinking the same! Dude, so that's what it feels like to be a genius..." Kaminari said, holding a smug grin.

"So you can track anyone using a bracelet?" Asked the half hot half cold teen, looking interested at the ring in Kaminari's hand.

"Nah, only the bracelets tied to my unit. The tracking system is down but they still emit the signal, I guess. For example, Kirishima is right next to me so that's one blip. There are… two more close by. Oh, someone's coming closer..." Kaminari looked around and spotted the ash-blond explosive teen getting out of the kitchen and heading upstairs. "There! Hey, Bakugo"

"Fuck off, Spark Plug" Came the response, harsh as usual.

"Yo, Baku bro, we just found something cool about the bracelets, check this out" Kirishima called him.

"Hah? Do I look like I wanna waste time with this shit?"

"Oh right, I forgot you sleep early," Sero said, looking at the time on his phone.

"It is almost like a baby" Todoroki added with his neutral face.

"What the fuck was that, Half and Half?!" Bakugo exclaimed, stomping his way to the couch and snatching the bracelet from Kaminari's hands. "The fuck am I supposed to see?"

"Not see, hear. Lemme..." Kaminari took the bracelet back and applied a weak current to his hand, making the sounds appear again. "Cool, right? I can tell if you guys are close or not now"

"And why would I want to know if you extras are close by or not?"

"Come on, don't be like that, Baku bro"

"Tch, what a waste of time. We know everyone is here anyway, Dunce Face"

"Well, you and Kirishima are. That's why there are two very clear blips, the weaker one is Mineta upstairs" Kaminari explained.

"Oh, can you try with other bracelets?" Sero suggested, already taking his own off. Todoroki did the same, out of curiosity.

Picking up both rings from his friends, Kaminari tested Todoroki's first.

"Let's see… who's on your unit again, Todoroki?"

"Koda, Ojiro, and Aoyama"

"Yep, three blips, not so loud and clear because they are upstairs. And in your team, Sero?"

"Midoriya, Ashido, Hagakure, and… you know who..." The tape boy said the last part with a hint of tiredness in his voice.

"Mhmm, there's… wait, what?" Kaminari looked at the ring, then put it close to his ear again, a look of shock taking place on his face.

"What's up, Kaminari?" Kirishima asked.

"There's only one signal. It seems to be in the dorms but… oh no..." The guys exchanged worried glances as realization slowly hit them.

Without even speaking, they quickly headed upstairs, getting to the last floor on the girls' side, where she stayed. Kaminari banged at the door as soon as they reached it.

"Oi, Toga! Get the hell over here!" Nothing, not a single response. "Oi! Toga!" He bashed more at the door, making a lot of noise. Glancing back at the others, he was ready to turn the knob and try to barge in, but then the door swung open.

"I heard from the first time, geez! It's freaking midnight and- oh," The blondie finally answered the door, wearing a large white shirt with an All Might stamp on it. Okay… interesting choice there. She rubbed her eyes, then noticed the small group staring at her. "Hey guys, is the party still going?"

"Don't play dumb, where are they?" The electric teen asked, straight to the point.

"Where are they? what are you- ooh, don't tell me, someone is missing and you think I'm the culprit" She had seen this scene before.

"We're not joking, Toga. Midoriya, Ashido, and Hagakure. Where are they?"

Toga looked at each of the faces staring at her with a skeptical look on her own. A devilish smile opened on her lips.

"How should I know? Did you even check their rooms before coming here?" She teased them.

Kaminari stepped forward

"N-no, actually- I mean, we know they are not here, but you are. So-"

"So you assumed I was the one responsible. But how, my dear friend Sparky-kun, would I do that when I can't even leave my room after ten on normal days? I was out of the party when you were all together" She calmly said, making Kaminari take that step back.

"Listen here you sick fuck, one step out of the line and I'll blast your head off your body, got it?!" Bakugo threatened her, with smoke coming out of his hands.

"Uuuh, scary~ I don't know where they are. You could look for them, though"

The guys looked at each other for a moment. She wasn't wrong in anything she said so far.

"I would help too but, well, let's say it would be a shocking experience," Toga said, laughing lightly. "If that's all boys, I'll go back to sleep. Thanks for coming by~" And the door closed, without a lot of reactions from the small group.

Just to make sure, they knocked on the doors of their missing friends, only to confirm that they were not there. Midoriya's room was even opened, and so was the glass door leading to the balcony.

"Should we look for them?" Proposed Todoroki.

"Why should I care about where the hell fucking Deku is? It's not like that loser would go anywhere far from here"

"So that's your way of saying you're concerned..."

"The hell was that?!"

Before Bakugo could start a serious fight, Sero barged in.

"Look, the campus is big, he could be anywhere inside it, but still around. Why don't we go look for them?"

"Well, I would need to get in the range first… ah, let's go. It's not like I have anything to do tomorrow..."

And so, the small group of teens went out to "explore", fully covered with warm clothes and following the electric teen's lead as he tried to get in range for his improvised tracker to start working.

"Tch, typical fucking Deku… getting away like this..." Bakugo grumbled in the back of the group as they walked around the campus.

"Don't worry, I'm sure Midoriya is capable of handling a dangerous situation. Also, Ashido and Hagakure are-"

"Hah? Who the fuck said I'm worried, IcyHot?!"

"Shhh, I'm trying to get a very faint signal. Plus, we might get in trouble if Aizawa or another teacher catches us" Kaminari complained.

"Don't "Shhh" me, Dunce Face! Why do I have to be out here in the cold? Fuck you, Deku!"

"You know, you didn't have to come too..." Sero added quietly.

"Do you want my jacket, bro? I'm fine with one less layer" Kirishima offered, ready to pull the zipper down.

"What do you take me for, hah? This wind is weak as fuck"

"I could lend you one of my jackets too. The cold doesn't bother me much, anyway" Todoroki said.

"Listen, hell with freeze before I have to get something from you extras"

"Yeah yeah, whatever. Can I get some silence now?" Kaminari complained again. Bakugo was about to shout about "Don't tell me what to do" but Kirishima managed to defuse the living bomb.

As they progressed through the dark campus, only illuminated by the moonlight that occasionally shone through the clouds, the small group wandered from the Alliance Heights dorms to the central part of the school. The gyms were all the way across so they would check the main buildings first. However, an unexpected meeting happened.

"Oh, what's this? The great class 1-A is up and out of their dorms way past curfew time? Is this type of rule-breaking behavior what we should expect from the great class- ow!" None other than Monoma came across them, accompanied by Awase, Tetsutetsu, and who they assumed to be Kuroiro since they could only see a pair of floating eyes and white teeth in the dark. Awase was the one to cut Monoma's obligatory speech since their class rep wasn't here.

"We're doing the same, you dumbass," Said the boy with a head strip.

"Yo, what are you dudes doing here?" Tetsutetsu asked them, stepping forward to fist bump Kirishima.

"We're looking out for some missing friends. And you?" Kirishima asked back.

"What a coincidence, so are we," Said the pitch-black teen. "Awase here didn't see Shiozaki coming back and went to ask Kendo if she saw her. Turns out Kendo and Tokage are missing too"

"Wait, couldn't you ask Shishida to find them?" Sero asked them.

"Well, we kind of avoid asking him to do these things. He's not a detection dog, you know"

"Besides, he goes to sleep early. He hit the sack like a rock" Tetsutetsu added.

"Oh, so he's like Bakugo" Todoroki also added

"I'm not a fucking kid!"

"It's okay, bro, that's a healthy habit"

"So you're wandering around aimlessly too?" Awase asked them while Kirishima prevented Bakugo from getting a hold of Todoroki's neck.

"Nah, we got this" Kaminari showed the bracelet, but judging by the clueless face Awase had, he went to explain. "You see, I can use my quirk to make the bracelets work as a tracking device, as long as it is in range and is part of your unit"

"Wow, that's cool! I didn't know it was possible"

"Me neither! I just recently discovered that" Once again Kaminari showed off with a smug face.

"Oh really? Then allow me" Monoma gave a slap not so gentle on the back of Kaminari's head and took off his bracelet, bringing the ring to his ears. "Oh… nothing happened," He said, looking at Kaminari with a wise grin that pissed the electric teen more than the slap.

"That must be because your unit is out of range"

"Ah, Awase and I are on the same team," Tetsutetsu said, tossing his ring to Kaminari.

"Yeah, one clear blip. Is Kendo or any of the other girls in your teams?" Asked Kaminari.

"Kendo is in my team," Monoma answered.

"Yeesh, too bad for her..." Sero said, earning a laugh from the copycat blondie.

"Why don't you guys join us?" Kirishima suggested.

"That would be quite helpful," Said the black teen.

"Great, another batch of extras to drag around..."

And so the enlarged group kept exploring the school at night. It was quite the experience, honestly. An ambient familiar to them could look so different and mysterious just with a different lighting and way fewer people around, along with the complete silence, aside from their occasional chats. Finding the guys from 1-B at that moment also proved to be an advantage since they covered the main building of the school where they had classes. This cut some of the areas they had to go through. The next one would be the Support Course's main building. It was relatively separated from the rest since they had many special classes that required equipment and proper space. Despite that, they were somewhat familiar with the layout of the place, or at least Sero was familiar with the path to the Development Studio. He came here a few times along with Ashido, Hagakure, and Midoriya to see the pink-haired mad inventor known as Hatsume Mei. And finally, Kaminari got something on his tracker.

"Shhhh, guys, I think I got something"

"What did I say about making "Shhh" to me-"

"Shhhh, I got something too, but it's very faint," Monoma said. He had been helping Kaminari with the tracking. Needless to say, the explosive teen was about to make an impression of a landmine.

"What did you get there, Monoma?"

"Hmm, weird… there are two faint blips"

"I got three on Sero's bracelet. Wait, why is it weird?"

"Well," The copying blond pondered. "Awase felt Shiozaki was missing and we didn't find Kendo nor Tokage, who we supposed would know where our class rep is. The thing is, Kendo and Komori are on my team, and I know for sure Bondo is at the dorms"

"So…? What's the big deal?"

"~sigh~ Why would Komori be here?"

"She's… with Kendo?"

"Well, that seems obvious. The real question is why"

"Well, we can ask when we find them. Can we keep going?" Kuroiro said and the two blondies in the lead resumed their tracking.

It was a matter of finding the general direction and following it as the signal became stronger. They would eventually zero into the location.

"Ne, Kaminari, now that I think of it, is Midoriya with Ashido and Hagakure too?" Sero asked the blondie.

"Well, apparently yes. The signals have the same strength at all times"

"Huh..."

"Do you think they went out together?" Kirishima asked the tape boy.

"Hah! Deku? Going out with a girl? Not in a million years" Bakugo said, laughing loudly.

"Why is that so? He's quite popular if you didn't notice recently" Todoroki questioned the cackling teen.

"Tch, he's just a useless Deku. I don't know if these girls are blind or stupid but there's no way that fucking nerd would go out with a girl. Even less being alone with two!"

"I think you underestimate his charming traits, Bakugo"

"... The fuck? You wanna date the nerd, IcyHot? Because that made you sound hella gay!"

Todoroki looked at him with a plain face, looked ahead in contemplation for a while, and looked at Bakugo again?

"You really think so?"

The explosive teen slapped his forehead, mumbling something about being surrounded by idiots.

"Not gonna lie, Todoroki, sometimes you sound like you have a thing for Midoriya," Kaminari said from his place in the lead.

"I think it is okay to say nice things about your bros," Kirishima said.

"Yeah, totally. You gotta cheer your bros up sometimes" Tetsutetsu joined his hardening friend and rival.

"I'm just concluding things. The girls from our class seem to be very close to him" Todoroki justified himself, despite not seeing the problem with thinking Midoriya had a charm.

"Yeah, I could say the same. At first, I thought it was only Kendo, with Midoriya being her boyfriend and all, but looking back at the joint training… yeah, they seem pretty close" Awase said, thinking of how many times they ended training together with Midoriya's unit.

"Even Hatsume from the Support Course drops by during lunch to eat with them," Sero said, then something else came to his mind. "Oh yeah, did you hear that Hado-senpai actually asked Midoriya out on a date?"

"No shit?" Awase looked at the tape teen with wide eyes.

"Yeah, and he said no for some reason, apparently"

"I'll say again, there's no fucking way Deku would get a girl. That big hand girl must be doing that out of pity"

"Oi! You take that back right now!" Tetsutetsu demanded, pointing one finger at Bakugo.

"And I'll tell you what, the other extras must see him as some hopeless puppy because there's no other way shitty Deku would get that much attention"

"Uuh, is that envy I sense, Bakugo?"

"One more lame joke and I'll blast you from here to your room, Dunce Face"

"Yeesh, learn to take a joke, man. But man, I gotta say I feel a little envious too. It's like Midoriya is hoarding all the nice girls we know… oh, the signal strengthened"

They stopped and looked around. Monoma also noticed the change on his side.

"The signal here also got stronger. It apparently comes from… this direction"

Monoma and Kaminari pointed in the same direction, exchanging surprised glances. So that meant Kendo, possibly Komori, Shiozaki, and Tokage were together with Midoriya, Ashido, and Hagakure?

In that direction was a dark hallway with doors on both sides. There wasn't another route right now so they might as well check it. As they walked down the hallway, the signal got stronger, showing they were getting closer. All the doors they passed seemed to be closed. Then they reached the end of the corridor and were practically on the other side of the building. They could make a turn left or right and enter another area, but the blips were similar to when someone was in the same room as them. Kaminari and Monoma looked around, staring at the two doors at their sides. Checking the doors, one seemed a bit off. The security panel was much more discreet and the door itself looked designed to blend more into the wall. The only reason why they noticed it was that the signal was pointing them in that direction.

"Hmm, is this some kind of hidden entrance?" Sero thought out loud.

"Is the tracker pointing towards there, Monona?" Kuroiro.

"Umm, yes. The bracelets should be on the other side of the door"

"The panel works but we don't have access," Kaminari said, pressing his hand on the panel to scan his hand. "Maybe if I give it a shock, it'll get short-fused and-"

"Out of the fucking way, you dumb Pikachu" Bakugo shoved Kaminari aside and stood in front of the door, rubbing his hands.

"Umm, bro, you might get us harmed here in this small enclosed space..." Kirishima said with a hint of concern.

"Just relax and watch, I know I can't use big explosions. Do you think I'm an extra to not know that?"

Bakugo then planted his sweaty hands on the corners of the door and lined them. Then, he prepared some small sparks and slammed his hands on the lines of nitroglycerin sweat.

BOOOM

The door came down violently, a lot of smoke arose. The guys fanned it away, coughing a bit.

"That trick is new, Nice job- ~coff~ bro"

"Now, Dunce Face, go check if shitty Deku is..."

"Hai hai ~coff~ I'm gonna check-"

. . . . .

Back to where we were, The door on the floor, the smoke clearing out, a bunch of girls naked, one of them being their Modern Hero Art History teacher, currently under the mentioned green-haired teen. Oh, and there was a pro hero too, and the persons the guys were looking for. Have we mentioned their current state of complete nakedness?

At the large mattress, the large harem froze in place. This wasn't Mei's fault at all, she could not predict explosive resistance would be a need in this.

At the door, the guys widened their eyes, also in shock. Both for seeing a considerable amount of nudity gathered in one place and for finding none other than Midoriya "the cinnamon roll too pure for this world" Izuku right in the middle, in fact, apparently about to go down with their R-rated hero and teacher.

It was one of these situations or scenes where the more you look, the more messed up it became. Tetsutetsu saw Kendo there, one hand covering her private bits for the minimum of modesty, although, looking closer she might not be just covering it. Awase noticed Kodai currently frozen but still pressing her breasts together and oh my, her reddened face looked so gorgeous. Sero found Ashido and guessed the person she was probably groping, given the context, was Hagakure. Kuroiro had a brief thought of "why does Shiozaki have wings and a halo above her head". Fitting, but why though?

Kaminari had an epiphany. All the moments they saw the green teen with the girls, the looks, the giggles, the small chats he ended hearing bits by accident, the whole protection squad, it all came to him and everything made sense. It was all clear now, all the pieces connected, the doubt that floated in their class got confirmed, and in the most spectacular way. In a way, Kaminari was glad he got to witness it in the first person. It was like a sight of a dream coming true, a wild, steamy dream. Kirishima was lost at words and reactions. He knew one or two girls from his class might have a huge crush on Midoriya, and that he was a nice guy, enough to get the attention of the girls around him, but this was just… Once again, he was stuck between seeing this as a manly as hell feat or feeling disappointed. Like, aren't you supposed to choose one girl and live your life with her? But what if you can, ahem, handle more than one? Monoma's confusion was between feeling envious and competitive about class 1-A as a whole or just about Midoriya, for also getting frisky with the girls from his class.

And finally, Bakugo. The moment his eyes laid upon this scene, his brain halted functions of complex order. He just soaked into all the information coming to his eyes for a while. When he made sure he was seeing what he was seeing, and this wasn't some kind of mind trick, illusion, or black magic fuckery. When he was 200% sure the scene frozen in front of him wasn't a stupid dream generated by a bunch of extras talking nonsense about shitty Deku and several girls getting close to him. When the realization hit him like a Detroit Smash and his brain registered it was the truth, bare as everyone's butt in that bed.

At that moment, Bakugo exploded. Literally.

"Wow, Bro! Are you okay?" Kirishima looked at his fallen friend whose hands suddenly went off blasting, pushing Bakugo backward. His eyes whitened out from sheer anger and his mind shut down.

"YOOOOOOO!" Kaminari held his head in hands, too shocked to form sentences, too focused on the beauties to care.

"IAAAA!~" A strident, unison squeal of panic and terror sounded as the girls finally broke from the frozen state and got down to cover themselves.

Lucky for them, Ibara had her quirk almost as second nature, so she instinctively made a vine dome with her hair to shield their shameless nudity. Inside it, Izuku still looked in the direction of the door, terror plastered in his face. He shakily looked down at the lady under him. Nemuri closed her eyes, brought a hand to her face, and breathed in deeply.

"Ah, it had to happen now..."

End of Chapter

Yep, that went from 0 to 100 in one mighty leap. Alright, I'll admit right there that this chapter (and the late one in my other fics too, for that matter) was delayed my two factors. One, I got my wrist privileges temporarily revoked, which kept me at least one week away from eat. Second, the rest was due to basically slacking off. I don't know, I simply didn't feel like doing it and past experience taught me that I simply can't make things work when I'm like this. I wish I could will myself out of this mood but unfortunately, I have to give some time, plan ahead, reread some chapters, and so on. You know, to cool down a bit.

That said, the next chapter is exactly the first of my new arc, [Meltdown] style. I got some time to organize things in my head, so I think y'all will like it. I was considering putting this fic on hold just so I can finish Her Treasure, but I thought it would be kinda unfair with everyone that's waiting for the updates, so I shall keep my rotations and juggling my fics the best I can. Minor Ad time, check out this discord server if you're looking for chatting with other authors, or if you want to pester me about the next update(discord . gg / V54pcwA).

That's about it, as always, thanks for reading this chapter and the fic as a whole. Leave a review if you feel like. See y'all next time. Peace~~
