Your POV

We all gathered back in the common area to officially start our room competition.

"Okay, so like, what are the rules?" Mina asked. "Are we figuring out who has the best taste in the class, or just the overall coolest?"

"We're doing this?" Kyoka gasped.

"Uh...this doesn't have to be a contest." Ojiro suggested.

"I agree — but have you met the students of Class 1-A?" I shook my head.

We went up to the fourth floor, now joined by everyone in the class.

"Let's see...who else is on the fourth floor?" Ochaco questioned. "It's Bakugo, Kirishima, and Shoji, isn't it?"

"Where is Bakugo?"

"He thought this was lame, so he went back to his room to sleep. I could use some z's too..." Kirishima mumbled sleepily, scratching the back of his head.

"Then we'll do your room next!"

"You can sleep all you want, after!"

Mina and Toru ran ahead energetically.

"Not that I care, but you might not get what I'm going for." said Kirishima.

I think it was pretty obvious what he was going for. His room screamed passion, hard work, and of course—

"A den of manliness!" Kirishima said, striking a pose.

Toru and Mina however, were not impressed.

"If I found out my boyfriend had a room like this, I'd dump him." Toru said bluntly, while Mina just stared.

"Damn." I snickered.

"So bold! Makes me want to work out!" Ochaco said excitedly.

"You get it!"

"I think it suits you, Riot." I clapped him on the shoulder. "It looks like manliness threw up all over your room. I mean that in the best way possible."

"I think I'll take that as a compliment." He laughed.

"Next up...Shoji!" Mina said.

"You're not going to find anything interesting here," the multi-armed boy said.

Upon looking at his room, that proved to be an understatement. There was literally nothing there but a couple folded blankets and a desk.

"Uh, more like nothing at all, dude." Mina said, clearly bored.

"So you're a minimalist, huh?" Shoto asked.

"I just never understood why someone would want to fill their room with junk." He replied.

"Guys like this always have a super pervy side!" Mineta said, searching through Shoji's blankets.

"Shoji would never. He's quite the gentleman." I teased, nudging him gently.

"All done! Let's head up to the fifth floor."

"We'll start with Sero!"

"Are we seriously doing everyone?" The boy in question asked.

We took the elevator once again and headed to his room.

"You tired?" I asked Shoto, who shrugged in response.

"Yeah a little bit. I don't actually mind doing this whole thing though. It's kind of nice to see everyone's personal style."

He looked at me and smirked slightly.
