The UA dorms were filled with the heady, sweet smell of sugar as Deku and Todoroki helped Rikido Sato in baking various desserts.

"Hey, thanks for helpin' me out with this, guys!" said Sato. "This year's food festival is gonna rock!"

"You're welcome, Sato!" said Deku. "We're only too glad to help!"

"Not to mention I've been interested in baking ever since I learned that you were into it, so this works out perfectly for me as well!" said Todoroki.

Sato gave a thumbs up. "Glad to hear it! Say, what are ya makin', Todoroki?"

"I'm making fudge. I found this really simple recipe on a jar of Marshmallow Fluff, so I thought I'd try it."

Sato stroked his chin. "What's 'Marshmallow Fluff'?"

"It's a brand of marshmallow cream from the United States. It's also used to make a type of sandwich called a fluffernutter, which is peanut butter and Marshmallow Fluff."

Deku smiled. "I've had peanut butter before, but I've never tried it that way, so it sounds pretty exciting!"

"By the way, Midoriya, what are you bakin'?" asked Sato.

"Oh, I'm baking a special type of chocolate cake called 'Death By Chocolate'."

"'Death By Chocolate'? Sounds heavy!"

"I got the recipe from an American website, and it looked so good that I just had to try it for myself."

Sato gave a thumbs up. "Well then I'm lookin' forward to tryin' it, too!"

"That reminds me: what are you baking, Sato?"

"I couldn't decide on one thing, so I'm bakin' some blueberry cheesecake and my famous vanilla-frosted chocolate cake!"

"Sounds delicious!" said Todoroki.

"I know!" said Deku. "I'm especially looking forward to that blueberry cheesecake!"

"That reminds me: Sato, what got you into baking in the first place?" asked Todoroki.

"Oh, I've always been into eatin' sweets! I remember the first time I ever tried a chocolate chip cookie, and it was the best cookie I ever had. No other cookie I've ever had has even come close. A couple years later, I was watchin' TV with my mom, and she had this baking show on, and I loved seein' 'em bake all those cakes and stuff, and I wanted to try that for myself. Heck, some of my favorite memories are helpin' my mom bake her famous Christmas cookies!"

Todoroki smiled. "Wow, what a beautiful story! It's too bad you're not more renowned amongst Class 1-A."

Sato gave a dismissive hand flap. "Doesn't matter to me! I'm happier bein' one of the side characters anyways! Besides, bein' in the same spot as you or Midoriya sounds like a huge hassle."

Deku nodded. "I'll agree, it's a huge responsibility, and I often find myself wondering how I manage to survive, but overall, I think it's worth it, especially considering it helped bring Shoko and I together."

Todoroki clasped her hands together and held them up to the side of her head. "Awww!"

Todoroki gave Deku another hug and kiss, which Sato approved of:

"You two were really made for each other!"

Todoroki's look turned serious. "I love Deku very much, but were we really made for each other?"

Sato gave a thumbs up. "Of course! The way you two talk to each other and act around each other, you were made for each other like apple and cinnamon!"

"Sato's got a point!" said Deku.

Todoroki giggled. "Oh, what the heck!"

"Anyways, if you'll excuse me, I gotta attend to my cake."

Deku went to one of the ovens to check on his Death By Chocolate cake, and Todoroki attended to her fudge. Meanwhile, Sato smiled, happy to have found two more friends to share in his hobby with.

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
