Christmas Party

"It's not anyone's fault that-"

"There's no way in hell we're sharing-"

"If everybody would just calm-"

"I can't believe we have to-"

"Is there really nothing we can-"

Shinso sighed for the umpteenth time, feeling his eye twitch at the scene before him. He made sure he would be at least half an hour late, hoping he could sneak out after making his attendance known; but when he saw the rest of them still stuck in the lobby of the 24-hour KTV restaurant way beyond the assigned time, he couldn't help but run a hand through his face.

It was absolute chaos!

He only needed a few seconds to figure out what the hell was going on. For some weird reason, the staff of the establishment ended up booking both class 2A and 2B into the same function room, mistakenly thinking that the two groups were joint. Now both classes were at an impasse - not wanting to celebrate Christmas together.

Shinso fought the urge to pinch the bridge of his nose. KTVs in the area were a dime a dozen. How on earth did they end up booking the exact same place?

"What the hell makes you think we wanna hang out with you fucking losers?!"

"If I remember correctly, it was a member of class 2B who won this year's sports festival! Who's the loser now?!"

Shinso sighed. He could tell that majority of the mess had been caused by Bakugo and Monoma. The extent of their arguments eventually started pulling everyone in on the context of solidarity. He clicked his tongue. Why was it that whenever any form of conflict was occurring, blondes were always in the middle of it?

"Bakugo. Monoma."

"What?!" They echoed simultaneously, glaring at him for cutting off their-

"Quiet."

It was a simple, curt command addressed only to the both of them, but the effect it had on the rest of the group was instantaneous. Not even the music blasting through the surround sound speakers could dull the silence that suddenly enveloped the entire room.

Shinso turned his attention towards the staff of the KTV, asking a few routine questions. It turns out that the booked function room was big enough for both classes, and that there would be no issues regarding the food, and the agreed upon cost of their reservation.

Shinso scanned the rest of his peers, directing his attention towards the class representatives. He blinked, shifting his gaze between Iida and Kendo. "What do you guys think?"

"Well..." Kendo shrugged, eying the rest of class 2B with a questioning glance. "We have two choices really. We can head to the dorms and just have our end of the year slash Christmas celebration back there... Or we can share the room with class 2A and have a joint one here."

Iida nodded, folding his arms as he swept his eyes through the rest of class 2A as well. "Personally, despite things not being how we intended them to be, I don't see this being a big problem."

Shinso watched the rest of the group eventually start to agree to the joint celebration, albeit begrudgingly. Members of the staff started guiding them through the establishment, but not before throwing Shinso a grateful nod.

"Uh... So are we just gonna leave them here or..."

Everybody turned to look at Kaminari who was gesturing at the two silent blondes still standing in wait by the lobby.

Shinso let out a long, exasperated breath at what was to come next. He ignored the pats of encouragement and pity on his shoulder as the group left him alone to deal with the two frozen loudmouths. He clicked his tongue.
