A library, huh? I didn't think Mirio was really the library type, but whatever. 

Walking into the library, I didn't see any sign of Deku or Mirio, but I was pleasantly surprised to see Tamaki standing in one of the rows of books.

I watched him for a second, his shoulders hunched over as he read through the book in his hand, occasionally pushing his hair away from his eyes. Cute. 

"Reading anything interesting?" I asked, walking up behind him and looking over his shoulder.

"Oh hey," Tamaki said. "Maybe."

"So where's Mirio?" I asked, looking around.

"Mirio? He's with Deku working on the plan for the raid."

That was weird. Then why did he send me the library's location?

"You're talking about the raid of Overhaul's place?" I asked.

Tamaki looked up from the book in his hand to stare at me.

"How do you know that name?" he asked.

Shit.

I pulled a random book off the shelf to try to look casual. "I'm sure I heard one of you say it back at our dorm the other day," I said.

"I don't think so."

"Then Deku must have told me another time. Anyway, this is great, because I think you can help me with something related to that too."

"Help you?"

"Yes. But I don't think we should discuss this here, in public like this."

"Y/n...You should talk to Mirio. He's probably at our house, just come back there with me."

"Come with you back to your house?"

"Um... sure. It's not far. I mean, if you want," he said. "He's more in charge of all of that than I am anyway. Thankfully."

"You don't like to be in charge?" I asked playfully.

Tamaki looked thoughtful.

"I didn't say that," he replied.

There was something in his tone of voice that made me wonder if we were still talking about their mission.

"So you're like me," I said.

Tamaki glanced over my direction, shaking his head. "I don't think we're a lot alike."

"I don't know about that," I said. "I'm just saying... I can be in charge if I have to be, but really in the right context... well, in the right situation, I like being told what to do."

That got a small smile from him. "Then that makes us opposites," he said, "because, in the right situation, I don't mind taking charge."

I smiled back, nodding. "Noted."

I noticed the section we were in. "Biology, huh? Studying up for your quirk?" 

"I try."

"Biology is pretty much the only subject I'm good at." 

"It was always my favorite in school," he said. 

"Mine too."

We left the library a few minutes later, a gust of cold wind hitting us right as we stepped outside, making me shiver.

"Are you okay?" he asked, his eyes concerned.

"Yeah. Just cold."

"Here," he said, stopping to take off his scarf. "This might help." Stepping closer to me, Tamaki wrapped the scarf around my neck.
