Experiment 007

Chapter 23: The First Night

3rd POV

"Let's get this party started!" Ashido yelled in excitement. The class began to chat amongst themselves.

"What should we do first?" Tsu asked. Everyone thought for a second.

"Oh! What if we do a room competition!" The room mumbled some yeses and nos. Eventually the yes option won.

The group of students started making their ways through the halls, looking into each room.  Soon they reached Bakugo's dorm. Bakugo groaned. "You damn extras better not touch anything." People filed in, judging the room.

"Pretty much what I expected." stated Sero plainly. A few people nodded. The room was decorated with skulls and workout equipment. There were posters of grenades on the walls as well as an All Might poster. Izuku chuckled at the sight of the poster, remembering how much they both adored the hero as kids. Once the group was satisfied, they filed out, moving on to the next room. Izuku cringed, realizing that meant his room was next.

He meekly walked up to his door. "I-it's not much." He let out an anxious laugh and opened the door. As his classmates followed inside, they looked around the barren room. Confusion filled the room.

"Midoriya, have you not unpacked yet?" Iida asked curiously. Izuku felt his face go red and shyly fiddled with the ends of his sleeves.

"I-i h-have. This is it." He spoke quietly. The class knew Midoriya had some kind of encounter with villains, but they didn't know the entirety of his past. Bakugo saw Midoriya getting more uncomfortable with the situation and felt himself starting to get angry. He took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. He knew the freckled boy didn't like when he blew up on their classmates.

"Why don't you have anything in here then?" Iida asked again. Izuku met the eyes of his questioning classmates. He had no idea how to respond to that.

"W-well I-i-i, um, ya know. I j-just hav-haven't gotten around to it y-yet." He tried to make his words sound convincing. It didn't work too well.

"Why didn't you just bring stuff from home?" Todoroki asked this question, earning his a deadly glare from Bakugo who was now fuming with anger. Ururaka seemed to notice Izuku's discomfort and jumped in.

"Well I think it's great. It's got the minimalistic look to it!" She smiled, softly nudging Izuku. "Who's next?" She asked, ushering everyone out of the room.

Izuku let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. He grabbed Ururaka's arm lightly.

"Th-thank you." He said softly. She gave the small boy a smile and pulled him into a hug.

"No problem." She released the hug. "You seemed a bit uncomfortable, so I thought it might have been a touchy subject." Izuku stayed quiet looking at the ground. "You ok to keep going? I don't think anyone will blame you if you hang back for the rest of this." He paused, thinking over the question.

"N-no. I'll keep going. I don't want to ruin the f-fun." He gave her a small smile and they joined the others.

Finally the tour came to an end.

"And the winner issssss..." Ashido opened and invisible envelope. "Satooooo!" Everyone clapped, some more enthusiastic than others. They chatted amongst themselves for a bit. After awhile someone mentioned food.

"Oh! I brought snacks!" Kirishima ran off to the kitchen with an assortment of packaged foods. Sato ran off bringing down the rest of his cake. Momo went and ordered a pizza.

The pizza arrived soon after and they all dug in. 

"Here you go Midoriya!" Ashido handed him a plate with a slice of pizza on it. He looked at it funny, but accepted. He walked back over to the couches and sat down, still looking at the food. Kaminari noticed his weird behavior.
