Euphoria

New(s)

There was a certain art to trying to find an acceptable party outfit that would still be comfortable enough to sleep in if you did end up staying the night. Mina said it was gonna be casual when you texted her after realizing that you never got the dress code. Which was better in your opinion, since it meant less stress on you to get there.

Hitoshi had gone to take a shower not too long ago, yet as you were searching for a shirt, the door opened behind you. Too focused on searching for clothes you didn't quite comprehend the fact you were only wearing a bralette before you spoke.

"Hey, do you think I should go with this crop top or oversized T-shirt?" Turning around to show him the shirts you noticed his eyes were wide and then covered by his hand.

"Sorry, I should have knocked before I came in to make sure you were decent." He was fully red underneath his one hand, but you were still confused why he was being so shy. Until you caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror to see you holding shirts up, but not wearing one.

I see now, got it.

"Hitoshi, it's okay. I don't mind if you look as long as you're comfortable. Now in all actuality, which shirt is the better option?" He slowly put his hand down and opened his eyes. You chuckled, respectful as always as he focused his gaze on the two shirts being held up.

"The oversized will be more comfortable so I would go for that one." His cheeks were still pink, it was cute. He never got flustered easily, so this was a small treat to you. You liked seeing him like that.

"Great." You slipped it on and then walked forward to plant a small peck on his cheek. "Ready to go?" You said a few minute later after he finished putting his shoes on.

"Yeah, do you have everything?" You nodded and both made your way to the party.

You knocked on the doors of the large house and quickly they were answered by Momo. Her long black hair tied up, as silky and perfectly smoothed out as usual.

"Long time no see." You gave her a small side hug and made your way inside, Hitoshi following with a friendly greeting towards the tall girl with a small nod.

"Ahhh!!" You we're almost tackled after you heard that screech. A pink afro in your face began to blur your vision.

"Hey Mina! I missed you too." You hugged her back, not as tight as she was, since your breath was knocked out of your lungs at the moment.

"Okay. What the fuck was that call about earlier! Was Shinsou just fucking with me or are you guys actually together!"

"Alright...Well that actually took a few seconds longer than expected to start talking about." You laughed in between your sentences while she was pouting like a toddler. "Yes, we started dating on Christmas Eve. So he wasn't kidding you."

As expected, she kind of freaked out, but you were able to calm her down after explaining that your relationship dynamic with Hitoshi wasn't much different than before. She'd wanted dirty details but after answering some of her dying questions, not giving her the answers she had wanted, she eventually went back to normal.

You went around with her to say hello to everyone you knew and meet the new ones joining you all. By the time everyone got there, the list of people you already knew included: Hitoshi, Mina, Sero, Kami, Kiri, Bakugou, Jirou, & Momo. As for the new people, that included: Midoriya, Uraraka, Todoroki and Tsuyu. The turn out was much less than the predicted 20 on short notice.

"Hello." You introduced yourself first before bringing attention to your boyfriend. "This is Hitoshi Shinsou, my roommate. It's nice to meet you all." You bowed a little with a smile on your face and nudged your boyfriend to do the same.

"Nice to meet you both. We are all dorm mates on the first floor of your building. That's actually where we met Mina, we didn't realize she knew Kacchan...Small world isn't it." The slightly shorter boy compared to the others, you now knew as Midoriya, responded.

"Yeah it is, if you'll excuse us we are gonna go get some drinks. Can't wait to talk to you guys more tonight." With that you grabbed Hitoshi's hand and headed to the kitchen.

"Who the hell is Kacchan? Follow up, what do you want to drink Toshi?"

"I see you're branching out to nicknames now?"

"Sorry, guess I heard it so much when your mom said it, I couldn't get it out of my head. Except I need to find one just for us."

"What about honey or darling? Or violet? It fits, I match one of your favorite flowers."

"Definitely to consider, I'm glad you didn't suggest like 'sweetie' or something. I would have had to break up with you right there. No offense."

"None taken, anyway I will just take a soda for now, Darling." He dropped his voice to a lower tone as he leaned over your shoulder. It was teasing in nature, you could tell he wasn't taking himself seriously at all. Breath softly tickling your ear, probably keeping in a laugh as he waited for a reaction.

"Yep, that's a keeper. For sure." You passed him a cream soda and grabbed a cherry coke for you. Momo and Jirou walked into the kitchen with unknown perfect timing. "Hey Momo, do you guys have rum somewhere?"

You started looking between the freezer and pantry and saw what seemed like every other type of booze except rum.

"Yeah it's behind the grey goose in the pantry." And sure enough it was, you just missed it. You mixed together a rum and coke, not too strong to start off the night.

"So I'm guessing we are gonna stay here tonight if you're planning to drink?" Hitoshi asked, he probably didn't want to deal with taking you home if you got drunk. Knowing Mina, there was no way of avoiding getting drunk.

"Yeah, let's stay here. Remember, a real queen size mattress." You really couldn't get off the fact that there were nice beds.

"Oh hey!" Jirou chimed in. "Congrats on getting together or whatever. I mean, we kinda had a feeling it would happen, but still it was about time." Her comment wasn't surprising, the fact she knew about you and him and all. Mina loved to be loud, not in a bad way, it's just her personality.

"Yeah, Mina said something similar. I guess we were the only ones to not really see it at first." You chuckled and continued making conversation with them. A few others joined the group until Mina called everyone to the living room.

"Now that everyone has gotten comfortable and started to get to know each other, let the party begin. Everyone sit down 'cause tonight is game night! Also another announcement, give it up for the second official couple of the group!" SHe held out both arms in your direction and your head dropped down to look at the floor.

"Was that really necessary?" You laughed a little at the obviously tipsy girl in front of you.

"Yes it was, this is a momentous occasion! Anyways, let the games begin!"
