Only Red

Chapter Twenty Eight

Thank you all so much for more than 2k reads!!! Eat something, drink something-WATER NOT SODA OR ALCOHOL-and have a lovely day!

After the chaos in the morning it had been a few relatively normal days, to which I was greatly thankful, though at times I started to notice myself getting down for no reason, or just not having enough energy to get out of bed.

On mornings like this Katsuki would bang on my door, before breaking into my room and dragging me into the hallway so I could at least start my day.

After that Shinso would greet me outside of the dorm building at the corner where we bumped into each other the first time, and he would give me a hot chocolate (he had coffee) before we would set off to school together side by side.

It's moments like these that I feel like maybe things haven't changed after all.

...

I was lounging in the mainroom doing the math homework for tomorrow with Denki and Sero next to me, watching as they let out a loud bout of colorful words as they were yet again beaten by the NPCs at Mario Kart.

Uraranka ran over to Sero and hit him over the head with a pan. She smiled darkly as she turned to Denki next, shadows covering her eyes.

"You will not taint the cinnamon roll." Midoriya went over to Uraranka and pulled on her sleeve as Iida started scolding the two for 'befowling this prestigious hero school with such words' and 'disrupting Kirishima-San's valuable study time'.

"Hey Uraraka-Chan, what did those words mean?" Ochaco turned to Midoriya and patted his head calmly.

"They were just words Sero made up, so you should never repeat them or else no one will understand you okay? Now didn't you say earlier you wanted to tell me about some new merch coming out of All Might's?"

He nodded enthusiastically as he was led away by Uraranka, ranting about his refurbished Silver age costume that was going out to the market in October.

The CPS, as they liked to call themselves, meaning 'Child Protection Services' or 'Cinnamonroll Preservation Squad' came to the couch, all holding baseball bats with nails poking out of them threateningly as Denki tried to shake Sero awake.

Mina interrupted what probably would have been the death of Denki Kaminari and Hanta Sero as she slid down the staircase and whooped loudly, (almost) distracting the CPS and (completely) distracting Denki and waking up Sero.

"GIRL'S NIGHT KARAOKE TO CELEBRATE!" Todoroki looked at her blankly.

"Celebrate what?" Mina pointed a finger at him, her other hand remaining on her hip as her radiant smile grew wider.

"ANYTHING WE WANT TO CELEBRATE MY CANADIAN FRIEND!"

"I am Japanese, and if so then there is no purpose for it to be only the females-"

"SHUSH CANDY CANE, LET US HAVE OUR KARAOKE!"

I looked over at Mina and pointed at myself with a questioning look. She nodded encouragingly. "You too Kiri! If this is forever then you gotta learn that you're one of us now!"

Okay, going to an all-girl karaoke night as a girl at one of the most prestigious hero schools in the country wasn't on my list of top ten things to do in my life, but I guess I can make this work.
