Ochaco's POV

"Hey... Ochaco..."

I look up to see Izuku in front of me.

"D-Deku!" I say going a bit red, "T-there are others around you know..."

I didn't necessarily mind, half the girls already knew anyway. The most dangerous of them, Mina, already knew so it couldn't get much worse than that. But still, the fact that Izuku took initiative and decided to put it on display was a surprise.

"W-well actually, uh... we're the only ones in here." Izuku says, scratching the back of his head. I give him a confused look, and turn around the couch to look. Everyone had vanished... Still confused I feel the blush leave my face and return to my normal position on the couch.

"Well then... Izuku... what's up?" I asked. I saw his face go red a bit and he averted his eyes. I furrow my eyes. I know Izuku is awkward about these things, I am too but it has been about a month and a half to two months since the beach that night. Really would have thought we've gotten past this by now. Well, he is Izuku after all.

I shrug.

"Well, since you're here can you help me with my studies? Iida went to go stop Bakugo from destroying something again and I can really use help on this part Ectoplasm gave us,"

"YES SURE!" Izuku says loudly, and sits next to me stiff as a board. He's staring straight ahead at nothing, hands at his knees. I blink a few times then look back at my text book and papers. I reach to find my pencil but realize it's been floating for some time now. I've gotten into the habit of making my pencils float and making them spin while I think. I release, catch the pencil and turn back to my notebook.

"Alright then... Well! This is the problem that Ectoplasm gave us for College Algebra, and I really don't understand these equations! Like when do I use them and stuff? I miss the y=mx+b days, such simpler times... but I know I can do this with your help! Now if I'm looking at this type of equation here starting with b, then I know that-"

"OCHACO!" Deku yells, snapping his head to look at me. Did I do something wrong already? I just started the problem.

"Yes, Izuku?" I say a bit frustrated. At least Iida let me finish my problems before correcting me... though usually so did Izuku when he helps me out. I stare at him with confused eyes, once again spinning my now floating pencil.

"I, um-I... I guess I-" Izuku stuttered as he tried to make a sentence, practically red in the face. I took a deep breath, squirming a bit.

"Look Ochaco, I just wa-"

"I TOLD YOU I WASN'T USING YOUR FUCKING TRACK!"

Izuku and I looked around to see Bakugo storming in through the entry way, Iida following right behind doing his signature hand movement.

"I was told you were and as the Class Rep-"

"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! I WASN'T ON THE TRACK, SO LEAVE ME ALONE!" Bakugo yelled going to the fridge and grabbing a water bottle. Kaminari and Kirishima were right behind, guilt and exhaustion on their faces. There also seemed to be quite a few burn marks on both of them.

"Just don't do it again!" Iida said walking back towards the couches Izuku and I sat at.

"Hello Midoriya, are you joining us for our study session!?" Iida sad happily as he sat on the the other side of Izuku.

"I mean- I um-" the still stuttering Izuku started, but he was still focused on Kaminari, Kirishima, and Bakugo.

I swear out of the corner of my eye I saw Kaminari and Kirishima shrug as they followed a now angry Bakugo down the hallway.
