|| The Price for Pleasure | Hanta Sero x (female) Y/N ||

Chapter Three: Anime Buddies

Y/N's POV

I hadn't expected him to message so soon. We had only departed from the first floor 40 minutes ago. But there on my bed, my phone lit up with a few notifications from Hanta while I had been showering (I know in the anime/manga they have a public bathroom for boys and girls, but I prefer the ensuite concept. Hopefully, you guys don't mind!). I approached it with caution, like a lioness stalking its prey. I poked the screen twice before the light reappeared and I was able to see what Hanta had messaged.

(XXX)-XXX-XXXX: Hey F/N! It's Hanta Sero (:

(XXX)-XXX-XXXX: Just wanted to see if this would work lol

(XXX)-XXX-XXXX: I hope you don't mind but I added you to a couple of group chats including the class one!

I quickly changed his contact's name and replied.

Y/N: Heyyy, all good! Will everyone's names show up for me on the group chats jw (just wondering)?

Smiles🖤: Oh cr#p, I didn't think of that. Did you want to quickly come over to my room and I can tell you who's who before lights go out? Unless you're busy right now then it's cool.

Y/N: Nah I'm free. Did you want me to come over rn? x

Smiles🖤: Yeah if that's alright with you (:

I quickly abandoned my towel and threw on some clothes, sporting a knitted sweater and bike shorts, and my favourite pair of woollen butterfly socks (my stay-at-home outfit lol). My hair was a little damp still, so I kept it loose as I grabbed my phone and walked to Hanta's room. I knocked twice before taking a step back, the door opening almost immediately.

"Ahhh, hey. Come on in." I was in complete awe of his room. He truly had a taste for design. I hadn't done anything to mine yet, since I hadn't even unpacked everything. "Your room's amazing!" He closed the door behind me as I walked in, scratching the back of his neck with his other hand in embarrassment.

"Thanks. You should see some of the other dorm rooms though. Especially Todoroki's." He plopped onto his bed and patted the spot next to him, gesturing for me to sit next to him. "So, how was your first day at UA?" I couldn't stop the small smile that crept onto my face at his attempt to fill the silence enveloping us. "Good, I guess. Better than most of the first days I've had."

He nodded along to what I was saying before gently tapping the hand I held my phone in. "Have you seen any of the messages on any of the group chats? I'm pretty sure Kaminari and Ashido have been spamming since I added you." "They have?" I unlock my phone and sure enough there's 10+ notifications from some unknown numbers.

"Here, do you think you could figure out who's who?" I handed Hanta my phone. Over the next 10 minutes he kept sorting through his own phone and mine, trying to figure out who was who. I just sat quietly watching him, only exchanging a few words as he concentrated.

"...And done! It should be good to go now." He handed my phone back, and I noticed that he had entered the full names of everyone. I'll probably change them to nicknames later. "Thanks, I really appreciate it!" We sat in silence for a long moment, unsure of what to do next. I debated going back to my dorm, but there was still about an hour before lights out and I wanted to hang out with Hanta more.

"So... What did you want to do now?" I turned to him in surprise, feeling as though he had just read my thoughts. "Do you think you could help me catch up a little? Or we could do something more fun, like watch something or play video games?" "I'm not the most academic, in fact I'm pretty far from it. Why don't we start a series together? What kind of shows are you into?"
