My big moving box almost completely blocked the view in front of me, so I did my best to carry it down the hallway toward my new dorm room, hoping I didn't run into someone in the process.

A few days had passed since Shinso started working for Overhaul, and it felt like everything was starting to get into a rhythm.

Luckily, I didn't have to worry about where I was going to be living. Since we were enrolled in the hero course now, Shinso and I were both given dorm rooms in the same building as our classmates, mine on the fourth floor and Shinso's on the fifth. Shinso moved out of his apartment and I was able to gather the few things I wanted from mine. It wasn't much; all of it basically fitting in this one big box that I now balanced down the hallway.

Shinso and I hadn't had an actual conversation about our "status" as a couple, but it seemed like we were together. We spent all of our spare time together, except when he was at work.

His work... that was another topic we didn't talk about.

Likewise, he didn't ask about my time with the League and I certainly didn't offer any details.

There's been no sign of anyone from the League, although I kept half expecting Dabi to pop up somewhere.

Not that I was hoping he would.

Or at least that's what I told myself.

In addition to all of that, I was going back to school the next week.

Shoto was taking time off school for "family reasons," which everyone knew was related to the night of the re-opening party. I hadn't seen him at all, but his dorm was on the same floor as Shinso's so I knew it was only a matter of time.

On move-in day, I really only had one big box of stuff to bring to my dorm, since most of my things weren't actually mine to begin with.

Carrying the bulky box down the hallway, I had a hard time seeing around it, which is why I didn't see the blonde haired boy in front of me until I practically ran into him.

"Let me carry that, moron."

"Go for it!" I said, gladly handing over its weight to Katsuki. "I'll get the door."

I followed behind him, watching Katsuki walk down the hallway carrying my stuff with ease.

"Are you staring at my ass?" he smirked over his shoulder.

Maybe.

"You wish."

After setting the box down in my room, he looked around at my mostly empty space. "I thought I would see if you needed help moving anything but..."

"There isn't much to move," I said, finishing the sentence for him.

"I see that. Can I do anything?"

"Um..." I said, glancing around, "One of the legs on the bed feels loose – think you could fix that?"

"Any idiot could do that. Do you have a screwdriver?"

"Probably somewhere," I said, digging into the box to find one.

"Is.. uh... is everything is okay?" he asked. Katsuki stared out my window while I searched, obviously wanting to say more. It was strange seeing someone usually so confident be so awkward. I had to admit that it was kind of cute.

"You know...like, with you and the purple freak?"

I shuffled around the things in the box as if they were the most interesting items in the entire world.
