A/N: According to KagamiPINKAgreste, today is National Macadamia Nut Day, so I just HAD to do an MHA fic to celebrate.

After the usual day of Wednesday classes at UA High School, Shoto Todoroki was in his dorm, feeding Abraham, his pet scorpion. Todoroki enjoyed collecting exotic pets like these, mainly because he felt they were more exciting than garden-variety pets such as cats and dogs. Granted, in some ways, pets like these were a bit more difficult to care for, but the bicolor boy felt it was worth it. Then, just after he finished feeding Abraham, he heard knocking on his door.

"I'm coming!"

Todoroki headed to his door and opened it.

"Hey Todoroki!"

Standing at the door was Todoroki's girlfriend Izuko "Deko" Midoriya, holding an orange plastic bowl filled with some sort of chocolate-covered nuts. Naturally, he inquired about them:

"Hello, Midoriya. What have you got there?"

"Chocolate-covered macadamia nuts! Want some?"

Todoroki nodded. "Yes, please."

Todoroki took a fistful of the chocolate-covered macadamias and popped one in his mouth. After a few bites, he nodded and smiled.

"These are really good. Thank you, Midoriya."

"You're welcome! Today is National Macadamia Nut Day, so we're all celebrating by making various recipes with macadamias. Come on, let's go downstairs and see what everyone else is making!"

"OK."

Todoroki followed Deko downstairs, where the rest of Class 1-A was gathered in the common area of the dorms, chatting it up. In one corner, a Bluetooth speaker was playing "Sausalito Summernight" by Diesel. As soon as they got to the common area, Rikido Sato pulled a couple of baking pans out of the oven.

"Hey Midoriya, hey Todoroki, you're just in time!" said Sato. "I just finished baking my famous white chocolate macadamia cookies!"

Todoroki nodded. "Sounds delicious."

Fumikage Tokoyami pulled a baking pan out of another oven. "I made my own delicacy: tarte tatin."

"What's that?" asked Deko.

"It's a type of pie with caramel apple filling, but I made my own version with Asian pears and macadamia nuts."

"I'm looking forward to that, ribbit," said Tsuyu "Tsu" Asui.

Momo Yaoyorozu wrapped an arm around Sato. "I dunno; I think my baby's cookies are still the best!"

Sato smiled. "Well, they should be almost done coolin', so we can have some soon."

"Well, I enjoy nuts regardless!" said Ochaco Uraraka. "All of these recipes sound delicious!"

Katsuki "Kacchan" Bakugo pulled out another pan. "Then maybe you'll like mine!" He let out an evil chuckle.

Mina Ashido smiled. "Ooh, these I gotta try!"

Toru Hagakure bounced around. "Me too!"

Ashido and Hagakure eagerly rushed over to Kacchan's pan and began scarfing down his macadamias.

"Those are my famous Atomic Spice Macadamias, made with Pepper X sauce!"

Ashido and Hagakure froze when they realized that Kacchan had flavored his macadamias with the hottest sauce on Earth. Both of their faces turned red, and they began breathing fire and crying.

"OH MY DAMN CHERRY BLOSSOMS!*" exclaimed Ashido. "MY MOUTH FEELS LIKE I ATE LAVA!"

"IT'S TOO HOT!" cried Hagakure.

Both Ashido and Hagakure rushed over to the sink and turned on the cold water.

"NO, DON'T!" Deko reached out towards Ashido and Hagakure. "Water will only make it worse!"

Ashido and Hagakure accidentally disregarded Deko's plea and glugged down a bunch of water. However, they were still breathing fire:

"IT'S NOT WORKING!" cried Ashido and Hagakure simultaneously.

Just then, Kacchan got shocked by one of Kyoka Jiro's earphone jacks.

"WHAT THE CRAP, HEADPHONE EARS!?"

"Bakugo, you jerk! Look what you did to those poor girls!"

Jiro gestured over to Ashido and Hagakure, whose mouth flames were threatening to incinerate the dorms.

"HOW THE CRAP WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THEY WERE GONNA BE SO WIMPY WHEN IT CAME TO SPICY FOODS!?"

"Jesus Christ! Don't you know that not everybody enjoys stuff as spicy as Pepper X?"

"Bakugo, Jiro, we must cease these hostilities!" Tenya Iida waved his arms back and forth. "Bakugo, sadly, I must agree with Jiro: your macadamias are unnecessarily spicy."

"NO ONE ASKED YOU, MOTOR LEGS!"

"First of all, my name is not 'Motor Legs'. Secondly, I must object to you arguing with me, the Class President. Thirdly, look at what Midoriya's had to do!"

Iida gestured to Deko, who broke out a gallon-sized tub of vanilla ice cream to cure Ashido and Hagakure's spice-induced agony. Unfortunately, their dragon-like breath incinerated the spoon that was holding the ice cream, much to Deko's dismay, so she did the only thing she thought sensible: she shoved the entire tub of ice cream in Ashido's face, and the pink acid hero managed to gobble some down without melting it. The green bean then did the same for Hagakure. Fortunately, it managed to calm them down.

"Feeling better?" asked Deko.

Ashido nodded while still weeping. "My mouth feels better, but I still feel like I'm dying of spice!"

Hagakure was still shedding tears, too: "I don't wanna die this way!"

Jiro went up to Kacchan and punched him.

"WHAT THE CRAP!?"

"That's for the mean prank you pulled, asshole!"

"WHY YOU…!"

"Jiro, Bakugo, cease these hostilities at once!"

Iida held his arms out to the sides, while the rest of Class 1-A restrained Kacchan and Jiro.

"While I have nothing but the greatest sympathy for Ashido and Hagakure, violence will not resolve this situation!" said Iida.

"Iida's right," said Denki Kaminari. "Besides, I want cookies!"

"Me too!" said Minoru Mineta.

Once Jiro and Kacchan calmed down, the class released them, and they proceeded to devour Sato's cookies.

"Sato, these are the best cookies I've ever had!" said Deko.

"I agree!" said Todoroki. "Macadamia Nut Day is a fun holiday! You and I could become really good friends."

Sato gave a thumbs up. "Thanks, Todoroki and Midoriya!"

"You're welcome," said Deko and Todoroki.

"Sato's cookies are good, but I prefer Tokoyami's pie, ribbit." Tsu took another bite of tarte tatin.

"I know!" Uraraka smiled. "It's really good a la mode!"

Tokoyami smiled. "I hadn't expected you to consume it with ice cream, but I suppose it merits a try."

Tokoyami took a slice of his tarte and put a scoop of Deko's ice cream on it before eating it.

"Vanilla works well with this, though I do wonder if chocolate would be as good or even better."

"Ah oui, but it cannot compare to la vanille française!" said Yuga Aoyama.

Koji Koda looked at his cookie. "I just hope these were made with organic macadamias."

Sato gave a thumbs-up. "Don't worry, Koda; I did!"

Sato handed Koda the bag of macadamias he used for his cookies. Koda smiled as he looked over the ingredients list and found nothing objectionable, while the rest of the Hero Macadamia enjoyed their sweet treats.
