Todoroki frowns, picking at his breakfast. You sit beside him, occasionally taking a small bite from your bagel. After talking, you two came out of your room and into the dorm area, where a few students lounged. Bakugou and Kirishima sat on the couch with Sero and Kaminari on the other. Midoriya and Shoji were in the kitchen making things for breakfast for everyone. The rest were spread around the dorm, either in their rooms or out shopping.

Hawks asked you to meet at Endeavor's agency around ten. So you decided to head their earlier, hoping that Endeavor might not be there, giving you time to snoop. It's not a perfect plan, but just in case, Todoroki would call his father and distract him from going into his office. You don't need the proof honestly, but it's nice to have it just in case. Especially since the plan is to attack today at noon. You've got thirty minutes before you should leave to head over to Endeavor's agency. If Hawks and Endeavor are both there, then you'll drop it and forget the snooping. Your hope is that they aren't there and you'll get at least twenty minutes to look around. You know there aren't security cameras around in his office, so you aren't too afraid about that. But that's not to say you're nervous.

You're nervous for lots of reasons. You're nervous to snoop. You're nervous for what Hawks wants. You're nervous for the attack. You're nervous to see their faces when you finally reveal. You're terrified. But you can't show it, so you've just stuck around Todoroki, talking occasionally, and instead, listening to the conversations they've had.

"Do you think it's offensive to blind people when you tell them it's nice to see them again?"

Of course, you don't have to look behind you to know who's talking. Only Kaminari would ask that sort of question.

To which, Bakugou would reply: "What the hell?"

And he does.

Leaving Kaminari to try and explain himself. "I'm just saying, dude! Like, do you think they're offended because. . . you know. . . they can't see?"

Sero shakes his head but doesn't look up from his phone. "Depends on the person."

"How so?" Denki asks.

This time he looks up, but not at Kaminari, just at the air in front of him as he sighs. "Because there could be a really understanding blind person who doesn't mind, or, there could be someone who's blind who does mind because maybe they weren't always blind and they wish they could see again."

"Yeah, but like, I can see, and really, it's a compliment when you say it's nice to see someone. Because you're saying it's nice to see them."

"Oi, dumbass. Shut up," Bakugou growls, his head thrown back against the couch with his eyes sealed shut. Kirishima is asleep beside him, his hair held back with a white headband.

Sero returns to his phone and Kaminari frowns, but shrugs it off as he turns his body so his head is where his feet should be and vice versa.

"Sometimes, I wonder how they're still alive," Todoroki mutters for only you to hear.

You choke, obviously not expecting him to say that, and he merely smiles softly down at his plate as you take a deep breath to regain your composure, forcing a laugh down.

You feel a buzz from your pocket and you pull out your phone. You see it's a message from Touya that makes you smile. You shield it from the group, including Todoroki, but thankfully, he's distracted by Midoriya trying to juggle three apples all at once.

You ready, baby? ;)

You smile softly and quickly text him back.

I think so.
