"Holy shit, this food is divine!" Kaminari cheered before he began wolfing down the fluffy white rice. Momo almost matched his speed, and Izuku assumed she was probably making sure to eat as much food as she could in preparation for tomorrow. Izuku and Yanagi, on the other hand, were eating relatively slowly, most likely because they'd had an easy time getting to the camp.

"Kaminari-Kun, language!" Iida shouted, chopping his through the air, with Tsuyu barely avoiding having her rice flung at Mach 3 across the room.

"Sorry, Iida, you're absolutely right. A more appropriate phrasing would have been 'good heavens, this cuisine is absolutely divine!' wouldn't it?" Kaminari replied sarcastically, causing Iida to be torn between scolding Kaminari for his dismissal of the issue as a joke or letting him go for technically fixing his bad language. Izuku moved his gaze from this conversation over to Reiko, who was currently eating rice. However, she still had a bit suck on her cheek.

"Oh, you got some food on your cheek." Izuku mentioned, leaning his chin on his hand. Reiko looked over at him, her one visible eyebrow slight raised. She pointed a finger to her right cheek.

"Is its location here?" She asked.

"Er, no, other cheek." Izuku corrected, gesturing towards her left cheek. Reiko rubbed her left check for a moment before looking at Izuku again.

"Did I remove it now?"

"No, you didn't- how did you even-?" Izuku sighed, before he leaned over and wiped it off of her cheek himself, which elicited a smile from the girl and a slight blush.

"Whipped." Kendo deadpanned, causing Izuku to whip around and flick Kendo in the forehead.

"Silence, hypocrite." Izuku demanded, to Kendo's confusion.

"Hypocrite? How am I a-,"

"You think I didn't see you and Momo sitting together on the bus? You seemed pretty excited to have her head on your shoulder." Izuku grinned as Kendo blushed. 'Decisive Midoriya Victory' He thought. His eyes drifted away from his friends, and they stopped on a young boy, who couldn't be any older than 6. Had he always been there?

"Hey, Pixie-Bob?" Izuku asked as the heroine passed behind him, "Who's the kid?" Pixie-Bob suddenly had a sad look in her eyes, and she let out a melancholic sigh.

"You remember Water Hose, right?" Izuku's fists tightened under the table, but he nodded, "Yeah, that's their son, Kota. Poor kid doesn't have anywhere else to go..." Izuku hummed at that information, before he suddenly put his bowl of rice on the table and approached Kota.

"Hi! I'm Izuku Midoriya, from UA's Hero Course, nice to meet you!" Izuku greeted, bending down slightly and offering a hand out to Kota for him to shake. However, what he didn't expect was for Kota to aim his fist back and punch Izuku in the groin. Now, he most likely could have avoided this, but Izuku had not considered needing to be on guard around a small child and had closed his eyes.

"Midoriya! Are you okay?" Tokoyami asked, rushing to his side, "What a barbarous child that was..."

"Hm, kid's got spunk." Bakugou commented from where he was watching, just quiet enough that nobody could hear him.

"Kota! You shouldn't punch people in the groin!" Mandalay scolded. However, Kota simply looked back, an angry look on his face.

"I'm not gonna be chummy with some wannabe heroes!" He growled before walking off again.

"Just overhaul your dick! That should fix it!" Kendo yelled.

"THAT'LL HURT EVEN MORE!" Izuku yelled back.
