Tamaki's pov

I immediately approached the stairs of the dorms when I entered only to be pulled away from my original destination.
"Can you let go of me?" I ask. I still hadn't looked to see who was dragging me across the floor.
"This a full class activity. You can't just go up to your room" I looked over my shoulder at one of the girls. If I remembered correctly it was Ashido. I didn't have a comeback to that, just let her drag me to a big circle where everyone was gathering. 
"I don't think this is a good idea" I reach up to my hair, pulling at a few strands.
"Oh come on Aizawa" I sighed, crossing my arms.
"Fine. But at least let me make coffee first" 
"I wouldn't advise having coffee this late into the day" the class rep was pretty persistence.
"Yeah well I'm not known for making good choices anyway" I shrug, walking into the kitchen. Now where was the coffee being kept. I could hear everyone happily starting a game of truth or dare while I worked on finding the coffee. Oh great. We're playing those party games. I finally found the jar that held the coffee, pulling it forward so I could scoop some out.
"Aizawa. Truth or dare" someone yelled over to me. I sighed, keeping my gaze fixed away from everyone else.
"Truth" I sighed, shoving one hand into my pocket.
"What's your deepest darkest secret?" I paused, flicking my eyes down towards my wrists. Well that wasn't happening. And I wasn't about to talk about my eyes.
"I can tap dance" I finally chose. I mean it worked. No one really knew except my dad and brothers after all. I could hear varying confused noises.
"You're joking" The kettle boiled and I poured the hot water into my mug.
"Nope" I walked over to the group, sitting down next to Shoto who shifted to the side so there was room. Tokoyami was on my other side.
"You have to come dancing with me sometime now" Ashido had pure joy in her voice.
"No thanks. I don't do parties" I object.
"It wouldn't be a party. Just a few people having fun dancing" 
"If I say I'll think about it then will you leave me alone" She gave a wide grin and nodded. Good thing I had my eyes on or I wouldn't even know what her response would have been. I looked around the group. I wasn't sure who to ask. I eventually picked Kaminari.
"Truth" He was confident.
"You got a crush on my brother?" I couldn't help the smirk playing on my lips when his face flushed bright red. I reached for my phone.
"Totally using this against him" I chuckled, pulling up the family group chat and typing up the message to send it. Perfect teasing material for Tamaki too. Pretty sure Hitoshi had been staring at his phone because he responded immediately to my message with several flustered, all caps messages. I just put in a simple your welcome as a response. My phone found its way back into my pocket while the signature question bounced around everyone. Maybe this wasn't so bad
"Todoroki. Truth or dare"
"Dare"
"I dare you to do 7 minutes in heaven with the person to your left" I redact my previous statement. This game sucks. 
"What's that?" 
"You go into the closet for 7 minutes and you can make out and stuff like that" Please say no. Please say no. Instead he got to his feet, looking down at me. I hate this. I got to my feet, clutching my mug in my hands. No way was I leaving it here. The chances of someone tampering it were high and I don't want to add anything else to my list of problems today. I followed Shoto to the closet, partly because I didn't have a clue where it was and the rest was just my reluctance. The door was shut and locked. I sat down immediately, holding my mug close to my chest. It was really dark in here so I would rather not spill it. Although to my surprise, Shoto's eyes had a slight glow to them. Or at least his left one did. 
"Did you know your eye kinda glows" I offer. I can't see what he does but I can hear his clothes moving. 
"No I didn't"
"Maybe it's the fire quirk thing. Kinda pretty" I muttered, following it up with a sip of my coffee. His clothes shift again and I can feel heat against my side. 
"What do we do for 7 minutes. I still don't get the rules of this game"
"Its a dumb thing for couples. I have no interest in these types of games" I can practically hear the question lingering on his tongue.
"I don't like them because its either for couples or for the other group members to play match maker. I just don't like it" because its just more expectations. I lowered my head while shifting my body to face the door, hair falling over my face. He didn't say anything. I sighed, leaning my head against the wall.
"Do you like anyone?" I looked to the side even if I couldn't see him and wasn't even facing him anymore. 
"I don't know" my voice breaks a little at the end. My chest felt tight again and my lungs empty. Fuck. I should have just said no and gone to my room. I don't have any medication on me. I try to take deep breaths but my breathing only picks up faster. There was a low whispering vibrating in my ears. I dropped the mug, the clatter it made when it the ground going almost unnoticed as my hands found their way onto my head. Just breath. I closed my eyes. Deep Breaths Aizawa. My body pulled in on itself. They can help when you're in a stressful situation. The whispering got louder, buzzing against my ears and drowning out everything else. Something touched my shoulder. I flinched away, digging my fingers into my scalp. I could hear a humming sound but it was overlaid by the whispering. I curled up on myself. Breathing hurt. I couldn't keep enough air in my lungs. Something wrapped around me. It felt like fabric but my skin was buzzing and crawling too much to distinguish if I knew the feeling. The humming was still present, just barely audible. Something was pushed into my lap. I lowered one hand. I couldn't identify it but I wrapped my arms around it, holding it close and breathing in the scent that came from it. It smelled like home. I buried my face into the object. I couldn't help the shaking that was happening and my heart was still jackrabbiting and my lungs aching but it felt nice to smell home. One hand was pulled back, something small being placed into it before being curled up in my hand. It felt weird. Not like what I was wrapping around or what was draped over my back. I fiddled with it, trying to figure out what it was. The shape was familiar. My hand was pushed up towards my face, pausing near my mouth. I opened my mouth a little, dropping what it was in and closing it again. I swallowed before curling up around what I held again. Everything was starting to exit out of panic mode, slowing down to a more desirable pace. It must have been my medication. I looked up. I was met with a slightly glowing eye. Shoto.
"T-thanks" I mumbled, winded from the lack of air. He didn't respond but his eye moved so I guess he was nodding. He was giving me quiet. That was nice. I preferred quiet after the bad attacks. His clothes were shuffling again before I felt something against me. I leaned into it, tucking my legs close and still holding what I could now identify as my comfort plush in my arms. I was about to ask how he knew what to bring me but I guess it made sense. The dragon was pretty cuddle sized, about the size of my torso and was really worn from years of use. It was also the only cuddly toy I owned. I'd fished it out of my cupboard back home knowing I couldn't easily go seek comfort from my brothers or dads. I'd normally be mad that he went into my room without permission but I trusted him enough to not snoop in my drawers and find anything I didn't want and he helped me calm down by bringing me my medication and comfort plush so I was grateful. I closed my eyes, cuddling up to the heat coming from his left side. It always made me feel sleepy, even after buckets of coffee or on a massive boot of insomnia. I think I'll just rest my eyes for a bit.
