A/N: Back to girl talk…I personally hated girl talk when I was in high school but then again, I was more of the type that was happiest when alone, plus I found that the girl talk I was part of was usually highly charged with bitchiness. I think because that was my high school experience it extends to my writing of teenage girl talk, so buck up kiddos because we're gonna be insensitive and bitchy but also kind of funny. Please enjoy and thank you for any and all reviews follows and favorites. I will continue to update often so you can have something nice to read!

Cloaca's, am I Right?

It was a strange little mound of flesh like material. Ochako couldn't help but wonder what exactly Momo had made the strange little anatomical model from. She knew Momo's quirk allowed her to make almost anything non-living as long as she knew how it was made or what it was made with. What material had she settled on for this bizarre little creation?

Ashido sat across from Uraraka on Momo's enormous bed and took the mound from her. She lifted the little thing and stared at it.

"Clits aren't supposed to be that big, right?" She asked a hint of doubt in her voice.

Yaoyorozu who sat at the foot of her bed with Hagakure on one side and Jiro on her other, laughed. "Of course not. I made that part larger so that it would be evident what it was. Anatomically speaking, it's quite small so to make one that is 100% accurate wouldn't really adequately demonstrate the organ."

"Where are the uh, the testicles?" Jiro asked, holding the other strangely flesh like little mound that was clearly the male counterpart of the models.

"Originally I created one that had them but I decided that it detracted from the organ we were actually assigned, so I made another one and omitted the testicles." Yaoyorozu's face turned a light shade of pink at the mention of testicles.

"It looks really weird without balls," Hagakure added.

"I suppose it does but it was more appropriate to not include them, I think," Momo defended and took the male figure out of Jiro's hands and put it into the little pouch that it had originally been in.

They'd all been crammed in Momo's room for the last hour and a half diligently working on their homework. However, during the last twenty minutes the topic of their group projects had come up when Ochako had asked Momo if she could create a little pottery kiln for her to bake her models in. Once that subject had come up, everyone was curious about what Momo's figures were considering her quirk.

Since then, they'd all passed the models around to one another and laughed, blushed, and awkwardly examined the strange little creations. Momo seemed quite proud of them which Uraraka could understand. It was a unique creation that she had solely created for the purpose of this assignment. Despite the designs being somewhat unique to Momo's specific assigned reproductive parts, they were uncanny in their resemblance to genitalia.

Ashido put the female model onto the bed only for it to be picked up by Tsu who sat next to Uraraka. The frog like girl looked over the model curiously, one finger raised to her lips as if in question.

"It's really good Momo. I bet it'll be the best model in the class, ribbit," Tsu said softly, clearly impressed by the figure.

"Thank you, Tsu!" Momo said with a bright smile. Tsu smiled back and continued to examine the model.

"What? Not something you're used to seeing?" Ashido asked in a teasing tone.

"Ribbit. What?" Tsu asked and looked at the pink skinned girl with a tilted head.

"Yeah, like what's that supposed mean?" Jiro asked as she turned from the foot of the bed to look back at Ashido.

"I mean come on, you're like a frog Tsu. Your whole quirk is essentially being a frog. Do frogs, or amphibians in general, even like have a vagina, let alone a clitoris? Don't they like have, a, what's it called, oh! A cloaca?" Ashido asked seriously.

"Um rude," Jiro said, eyes narrowed angrily at Ashido.

"What's a cloaca?" Hagakure asked.

"This seems like a potentially hurtful conversation," Yaoyorozu murmured with a blush.

"Should we be talking about this? And why does it even matter?" Ochako added, feeling uncomfortable for her friend.

"It's okay guys. Mina, I'm like everyone else," Tsu explained calmly. She seemed mostly unbothered by Mina's rather rude question.

"No, it's not okay. Like seriously Ashido, why would you even ask that? First of all, what's it even matter what Tsu or anyone for that matter has going on down there? If she says she's like everyone else we should accept that, regardless of what kind of anatomy she actually has. Secondly, how intrusive and rude of you to tease her about that. Her quirk may basically be being a frog but she's still a person and I think that question you asked is offensive," Jiro snapped. She was fully facing Ashido, Uraraka, and Tsu now, her cheeks flushed, not with embarrassment, but with anger.

Uraraka shifted uneasily. She could understand Jiro's anger. It was an insensitive question and if Ashido had asked it purely to tease and gossip, well that wasn't a very nice thing to do. At the same time, she felt like the venom that Jiro was reacting with was a bit out of character for her.

"Kyoka it's okay, really. Mina was just teasing and I don't mind," Tsu said in a calming voice, clearly trying to defuse the tension that was swiftly building.

"Yeah, I was just teasing, I didn't realize that that was going to be so offensive to you, Jiro. What's your problem anyways? You've been like giving me the extreme cold shoulder all week," Ashido asked looking pointedly at the dark haired girl facing her.

"Well it's a rude thing to tease about. I would think you wouldn't tease someone just for the hell of it when you're not so normal yourself. You've got pink skin, raccoon eyes, and horns. Do you even have normal anatomy?" Jiro shot back angrily.

Ashido, who had been semi reclined before, now sat up and glared at her classmate. "I was just teasing! It's not like I was actually trying to make her feel bad or quirk shaming her. It was meant to be funny. What is up with you?"

"It sure sounded like some kind of shaming to me," Jiro snapped moodily.

"Ladies I don't think this is really constructive or relevant. Let's just go back to our homework—oh we finished it…uh, back to our studying then!" Momo suggested with forced positivity.

"I agree! Let's do that!" Uraraka agreed growing more uncomfortable by the second.

"Yeah. Really, it isn't a big deal. I wasn't offended. Let's just study," Tsu agreed and started to hand the little model over to Yaoyorozu.

"But guys, seriously, what is a cloaca?" Hagakure asked again.

"No, I want to know why she's got a bug up her ass about me. What is your deal, Jiro? You've been weird to me all week," pressed Ashido her arms now crossed over her chest as she stared expectantly at Jiro.

"Nothing. I'm just offended by how clueless and insensitive you can be," Jiro's eyes darted away from Ashido making it look like there very much was something going on.

Ashido shook her head in disbelief. "Umm…yes there is. This is so not like you."

"You do seem a little…reactive?" Yaoyorozu reluctantly agreed.

"Thank you!"

"You're taking her side? What the hell Momo?!" Jiro demanded with a hurt expression on her face.

"I'm just saying that while I agree that Ashido's teasing was out of line, your reaction to it seems a little volatile for you. That is all," she defended, her voice even but a blush in her cheeks. She was clearly uncomfortable as well.

"Can we just go back to studying, please?" Ochako asked quietly, feeling more and more uncomfortable.

"Ribbit."

"Whatever. I'll just go find Ida and we can work on our stupid project," Jiro said with a huff and began to climb off the bed.

"I think he goes to bed super early," Hagakure said doubtfully.

"Dammit. Stupid Ida," Jiro murmured to herself.

Ashido clapped her hands together, startling everyone. She was smiling brightly now, her eyes squeezed together in excitement. Uraraka looked at the pink haired girl in confusion. Why had she just flipped moods so quickly? Was it because Jiro was about to leave, but Jiro had stopped moving to leave after Hagakure suggested that Ida might already be in bed.

"What the hell was that for?" Jiro asked annoyance heavy in her voice.

"It was a bit unexpected," Yaoyorozu agreed.

"Ashido?" Croaked Tsu.

"So, were we going to study? Um, I am still not sure what a cloaca is. Like I don't remember that being a part of the anatomy we covered."

"Hagakure—" Uraraka started only to have Ashido interrupt.

"I know why you're mad. You're jealous." Ashido had leaned forward so that she was closer to the girls on the foot of the bed, her eyes narrowed mischievously.

"Excuse me?" Questioned Jiro with a raised eyebrow.

"You're jealous because I'm paired with Kaminari and you aren't."

A blush almost immediately colored Jiro's normally pale cheeks. "What? Jealous? Of you being paired with Kaminari? Please," she snorted. Uraraka took in the pink cheeks and the exaggerated snort and began to wonder if Mina was in fact onto something.

Ashido practically squealed in delight at Jiro's reaction. Uraraka wanted to clap her hands over her ears at the shrill sound. However, while Uraraka was shuddering at the shrillness of the sound, all other eyes darted in Jiro's direction, gazes now questioning, wheels beginning to turn.

"That's it! I knew it! You've been cold to me since we were assigned partners and I was assigned to him. You're jealous!"

"That is not it!" Jiro defended though the increasing blush in her cheeks said otherwise.

"You like Kaminari! And you're always so mean to him. I should've figured it out sooner! I knew it!" Ashido laughed triumphantly.

"Shut up!" Jiro protested desperately.

"Oh Kyoka," Tsu said sympathetically.

"If you like him that's okay. It's perfectly okay to like someone even if it is Kaminari…er, sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like that was a bad thing," Yaoyorozu said apologetically.

"Do you actually like him Kyoka? Does he know? Do you think he likes you?!" Hagakure asked excitedly.

"Kaminari isn't so bad. I think he's nice," Uraraka said though in all honesty she wasn't entirely certain how she felt about that pairing. If Jiro did in fact like Kaminari, well it was a bit surprising. Of any of their classmates who picked on him for his cluelessness, Jiro was the hardest on him. Perhaps that was why she acted like that because she did in fact have non plutonic feelings for him.

"I never said I like him! And what does it matter? Kaminari is clueless to everything unless it's perving with Mineta or a big pair of jugs in his face," Jiro said petulantly but paused briefly before her eyes suddenly lit up as she looked back at the celebrating Mina. "Kaminari might be clueless but I know someone who isn't. Someone who stares at you longingly in class and who I'm certain is jealous that you weren't paired with him. Kirishima!"

The grinning triumph on Ashido's face converted to an unreadable expression. She looked back at Jiro with cautious eyes, a blush coloring her already rosy skin. "So?"

The single word response wasn't what she'd been expecting judging by the look of surprise on Jiro's face. Uraraka wondered what that single word meant. Did it mean that Ashido was agreeing that Kirishima was pining away for her? Was she agreeing that she knew and didn't mind? Or was she not denying it because she might mind but in fact liked that he looked at her that way.

"So, so, that means he likes you, duh! Kirishima likes Mina Ashido. That's a big deal. Why aren't you reacting like you've reacted in the past when I've brought him up?" Jiro asked suspiciously.

Ashido sat back on her feet and lowered her eyes bashfully. "I'm not denying that he looks at me like he wants to be my partner. I've seen it too. You're right."

"And that doesn't bother you? I've made that same suggestion in the past and you freaked out," Jiro pointed out and looked at her friend expectantly.

"Well I don't mind anymore," Ashido boldly admitted, her eyes still not meeting anyone else's gaze.

"What!?" Exclaimed Jiro, leaning forward in shock.

"Wait, you don't mind? What does that mean?" Hagakure asked.

"Does that mean you like…like him?" Uraraka ventured.

"Ribbit," whispered Tsu.

"Did we miss something?" Asked Yaoyorozu in confusion.

"No! I mean yes, but no. Kirishima likes me that's all. I know it and I don't mind it. That's all…I'm willing to share right now," Ashido said in a huff.

"Uh, I think there's more you're not telling us," Jiro pressed.

"Well whatever I want to tell is my business. All I'll say is that I know Kirishima likes me and I don't mind…and as things progress, I'll let you know," the pinkette said with a twinkle in her eye.

"Are you dating?!" Uraraka burst out in shock.

"So what if we are? It's better than beating around the bush forever…Jiro," Ashido said with a pointed stare in Jiro's direction and then added, "Uraraka." Uraraka felt her face flush red and her eyes widen.

"WHAT?!" Uraraka blurted out her eyes still wide and shocked.

"Yeah, why bring her into this?" Jiro asked, clearly stilly annoyed.

"Oh, she knows," Mina quipped, a devious little smile on her mouth.

"What!?" It was the only word that Uraraka's brain seemed able to supply.

"Well I think we should conclude this study session…it's devolved into a bit of a uh, well, it's no longer productive," Yaoyorozu said with finality.

"Ribbit. I think that's a good idea," agreed Tsu in a quiet voice.

"Fine by me," snapped Jiro who grabbed her belongings and started to make a swift exit.

"Yeah," Uraraka muttered and also began gathering her things to leave.

"Guys…can someone like seriously tell me what a cloaca is? I really don't know! If that was in the material I most definitely missed it!" Hagakure pleaded.

"It isn't a thing that people have, Hagakure. Suffice to say its like a one stop shop in terms of body cavities. Birds, reptiles, and amphibians generally have them, though a lot of fish and some mammals also have them too. It really isn't something you need to be worried about in terms of human anatomy," Yaoyorozu explained in a rush.

"Oh. Well then, I totally get Mina's question! Does Tsu have a cloaca?" Hagakure asked honestly.

"Oh dear," Yayorozu huffed and put her hand to her brow in exasperation.

"I already said I didn't," explained Tsu, this time rather annoyed.

"Let's just get out of here Tsu," Uraraka said and grabbed hold of Tsu, pulling her off the bed and toward the exit of Momo's room.

"See? Even teasing, it was a totally reasonable question!" The pink haired dark eyed girl who'd asked the original offensive question defended.

Jiro abruptly turned back into the room with an angry expression on her face. "Oh for fucks sakes Hagakure! Come on!"

"I thought you were leaving," chimed Hagakure.

"Don't mind her, she's just upset because we all know her secret," Mina said in a hushed voice with a devious smile.

"We're leaving," Tsu and Uraraka called out together as they pushed past Jiro who stood in Yaoyorozu's doorway practically smoking in her anger.

"I think everyone should leave." Yaoyorozu was now pinching the bridge of her nose and looking more and more frustrated.

"That was bitchy. I don't have a secret! And if you go around spreading rumors about how I have a thing for Kami—er, for someone, then you'll regret it!" Protested the angry Jiro.

"I'm not cruel. I don't go around spreading rumors. You know that. And I'm sorry, sometimes my mouth just runs away with me," Ashido countered, arms crossed over her chest.

Uraraka was tugging on Tsu and had just managed to clear Jiro and the doorway when the two of them stumbled into the hallway outside Momo's room. While it was an immediate relief to be out of the tense room, Uraraka immediately became aware of a bigger problem in the hall: three boys were standing just around the hallway corner staring at the commotion coming from girl's side of the floor.

"Oh," squeaked Uraraka as she took in the curious glances of Todoroki, Sero, and Satou.

"Uh oh," muttered Tsu, still holding Uraraka's hand. The two girls had stopped dead, blushes creeping over their faces at the unexpected sight.

"Whoa, somebody's having a meltdown," muttered Sero. He was the furthest away, practically peeking around the corner.

"Why are you fighting? Is that Jiro yelling in Yaoyorozu's room?" Todoroki—who stood the closest—asked calmly.

"Hey guys, let's all cool it. I can bring some treats or some cake. I've totally got a cake in the oven right now. Cake can save lives man," Satou, the middle of the three boys, asked honestly.

"I think that the less—" Uraraka began only to be interrupted by more harsh and angry words from Jiro.

"Yes, you do. You can be a real blabber mouth sometimes, so do everyone a favor and keep your mouth shut about this."

Mina's voice was muffled as she attempted to rebuff—also now angry or possibly hurt—Jiro's remark. "Hey that's not fair Jiro. I am not a blabber mouth. That was a mean and untrue thing to say. It's okay if you like someone, you know? I'm not going to go shout it from the roof top. Letting others know is your business."

"Whoa, did I hear that right? Jiro likes somebody?!" Exclaimed Sero, a little too loudly.

"I don't think this is a conversation we should be eavesdropping on. We should return to our own rooms," suggested Todoroki. While he wasn't blushing or outright uncomfortable, something about his tone gave Uraraka the impression that he was uncomfortable continuing to listen to whatever the girls' argument was about.

"Uh, I don't think I heard that right and yeah, I agree with Todoroki, let's go back to our rooms," Satou agreed, a blush coloring his cheeks.

From Yaoyorozu's bedroom came multiple chirps of alarm as they'd now—finally—realized that there were others listening to their argument. Others that were most definitely boys.

Jiro turned around in the doorway and stared open mouthed at the three curious faces observing the scene from the corner of the hall. An instant scarlet blush dotted her cheeks.

"Todoroki!" Squeaked Yaoyorozu who had joined Jiro in her doorway. Her face was also bright red, though she didn't really appear to be looking at anyone aside from Todoroki. Glancing between the normally composed Yaoyorozu and ever cool and collected Todoroki, Uraraka thought she saw just the hint of color on Todoroki's unscarred cheek. She couldn't quite tell if he was taking in the whole scene or if now that Yaoyorozu was in plain sight if he was just abjectly staring at her.

"What!? The boys!" Squealed Hagakure from deeper in the room.

"Shit!" Jiro hissed and looked as if she might bolt from where she stood.

Before she, or anyone for that matter, could move and flee the scene, Ashido suddenly erupted from the room startling everyone in the vicinity. If it had been anyone else, they might've been at risk of landing on their face, but given Ashido's natural rhythm, grace, and flexibility, she seemingly leapt from Yaoyorozu's bed, through the doorway in one single motion—expertly avoiding any contact with either Jiro or Yaoyorozu—and landed on all fours in a cat like stance just outside the door. She was on her feet and upright in a flash, moving deftly to stand just an arm's length away from the boys.

"We were studying and had an argument, got it? Nothing else you might've heard is any of your business," she snapped and pointed a finger at the three boys who had begun to look increasingly nervous.

"Yup. Can do. Roger that," Satou instantly agreed with a forced smile as he turned on his heel to leave. He bumped into Sero as he made his hasty exit causing Sero to stumble backwards, almost falling over.

"Is everything alright?" Asked Todoroki sincerely. He was looking at Ashido now, though his eyes would occasionally dart back in the direction of Yaoyorozu and Jiro.

"Yes. Everything is great. It's just girl talk which means you aren't needed. Got it?" Ashido pressured and stepped closer toward the significantly taller Todoroki.

Todoroki eyed Ashido for a moment before looking back toward the mortified Yaoyorozu and Jiro, still awkwardly standing in the doorway to her room. Uraraka could feel Tsu tugging at her, subtly pulling her toward her own room and away from the awkward situation that had rapidly developed in the hall.

"I understand. You might take into consideration that the next time you have a girl talk occasion that involves raised voices, that others also live on this floor and that that might draw their attention," came the cool reply from Todoroki any hint of a blush completely gone, his face now the picture of cool.

"Sure thing," Ashido agreed with a peppiness that didn't meet her eyes.

"Todoroki, I'm, er, I am so sorry to all of you," Yaoyorozu bowed deeply in apology, clearly embarrassed and feeling guilty for drawing them in.

"Yeah…sorry to disturb you," apologized Jiro though she was unable to look at Todoroki or Sero who had managed to steady himself and now stood beside Todoroki.

"It is alright Yaoyorozu, just remember that there are others that can sometimes hear you," was Todoroki's soft reply.

"Yeah, it's not just you up here," Sero agreed as he started to sink back into the hall.

Todoroki gave one more glance at the girls in the doorway before he too retreated down the hall.

"See? All taken care of," Ashido said reassuringly, though Uraraka felt like there was a tone to her voice that was hardly convincing.

"Right," muttered Jiro who immediately stalked off toward the stairs.

"Guess I'll be going too. Sorry for all the commotion Momo," Ashido said softly and gave a slight bow of apology before she too, made her way toward the stairs.

"Ribbit. Let's go," Tsu whispered into Uraraka's ear who was eager to leave as well.

"Uh well, I'm gonna go back to my room. Bye uh, everyone," Uraraka said hastily before separating from Tsu and rapidly descending the stairs to get back to her own room.

Only once she was safely tucked behind the safety of her own door did she try to relax. What a night. Her day had seen too many ups and downs. She'd been nearly blown up by Bakugo when he'd found out she had talked to Mr. Aizawa about him and then the study session had turned into an accusatory mess. And what had Mina been implying? Did she know something about her and Deku? Why else would she lump Uraraka with Jiro in criticizing them for beating around the bush.

That thought made her recall Mina's own admission that she knew Kirishima liked her and didn't mind. It made her wonder about the type of relationship that those two shared. She'd have to quietly observe for any differences.

In the meantime, though, she was just grateful to go to bed and be away from that awkward failed study session. Perhaps she'd not attend another one if they were all going to be charged with that level of tension.
