Mai was able to sleep eventually having realised Bakugou was only a few meters away from the girl, and so she slept soundly in her bed that night and the following nights after.
"So... Do you like it? Do you like my baby?!" Mai looked at the girl beside her. "It's perfect Mei-Chan, thank you!" She smiled brightly at the pink-haired girl. "Ha! You're both called Mai and have pink-hair, so weird!" Kirishima yelled at the two. Mai's eyes darkened at the boy across from her. "Maybe I should test it out." She tilted her head at the red-head.
"I meant cool!" He squeaked.
"How come you asked for this so late, you'll have no time to train with it in time for the Provisional License exam tomorrow." Kaminari questioned, walking beside Kirishima and Kumiko.
She shrugged, holding the katana in her hand. "When I was at my internship with Mirko, she told me I should start using weights and fighting my classmates to improve. But, I thought, what better way to improve than with a weapon!" Mai explained excitedly. "Plus after fighting the league, yes my quirk is good, but I just want an extra bit of defence."
The two boys nodded and entered the dorm building.
Aizawa was at the entrance waiting and holding a briefcase in his hand. "Kumiko, this is for you." He handed the girl. She squealed with excitement and snatched it off the man. "You got a new costume ordered in?" Kirishima questioned as the two sat down in front of the TV, Denki heading towards the game station where Jirou was.
"Yeah, after that rescue training with All Might, I took into account everyone that I was against's costumes- considering it was all the fastest moving people in the class. Most of them were slim and tight-fitted, and considering I have one of the fastest and sneakiest quirks I was seriously reconsidering the costume I had designed."
Kirishima nodded at the girl. "I was always wondering why you never went for a cat-woman style costume actually." He pondered aloud. Mai frowned at the boy. "Cause I didn't want one of those costumes where everyone just thought of my body when thinking of me- even though that's basically what I ended up going for." She explained.
Kirishima raised a brow at the girl and kicked his feet up onto her lap. "I don't think of any pro-hero like that, well, maybe Midnight but I think that's what she's going for." He placed his hands on the back of his head and leaned back.
"I mean, look at me and Bakugou, we don't even wear shirts and no one looks at us and thinks that." Mai raised her brows at the boys' point. "You're not wrong actually, Eijirou-Kun." She girl turned to make eye contact with the boy. She smiled her usual bright smile and thanked the boy. Kirishima couldn't help but swoon for the gorgeous girl.
"Are you guys excited for tomorrow?" Kaminari questioned, him and Jirou planting themselves on the floor in front of the couch Kumiko and Kirishima sat on, throwing the two of them a controller. Mai nodded, looking towards the game the two had loaded up on the screen. "Definitely!"
Kirishima smiled from his lying position on the couch. "Me too! I can't wait to be able to fight actual villains in public!" He added, staring at the screen. Jirou loaded up the game.
Kaminari and Jirou let out joyous cries, waving their controllers in the air. "That's 2-1." Kaminari smiled. Mai groaned, leaning her arms on Kirishima's shins. "You guys have got an advantage!" Kirishima called. Mai turned to look at him. "What's that meant to mean?" Kirishima looked back to her. "They don't have you as a teammate!"
Mai sighed exasperatedly. "Not my fault, I've never played one of these before." She mumbled, a visible frown on her face. She leaned back on the couch and let her head fall onto the back of the couch. She looked up at the ceiling in annoyance.
Two hands slammed down on either side of the girls' head and a certain blonde leaned over the girl. Mai looked up at the boy above her. Bakugou looked down at the girl who smiled brightly once she saw the boy. He couldn't help the feeling explode in his chest from seeing her face.
"What are you idiots playing?" Bakugou questioned, moving to the front of the couch. He eyed up Kirishima's body placement and grasped his leg, flinging it off Mai's lap.
"This stupid gun-game that everyone but me is stupidly good at."
Bakugou sat beside Mai, leaving a distance beside Kirishima- whom he threw a side look towards. "You excited for tomorrow, Bakugou?" Kaminari asked, staring at the screen. "Why would I be? Just gonna be us against a bunch of weaklings as per usual." The blonde responded gruffly.
Mai passed him her controller and pulled the briefcase to her lap. Opening it slowly the girl looked at the outfit inside. She smiled excitedly and pulled the suit out. Knee-high boots sat underneath it but she only stared at the suit.
That evening, the girls of UA sat around the dorm common room. Hagakure asked the girls about their ultimate moves and how they were getting on.
"Ochako-Chan?"
The brunette girl simply ignored the invisible girls question. "Ochako-Chan?" Asui tapped Uraraka who then jumped in shock. Her face lit up red as she looked at the girls.
"You seem tired." Mai pointed out, her cheek resting on her knee which were pulled to her chest. "Tired? No, no. I'm just getting fired up! But recently, my heart's feeling all stirred up." She confessed.
Mai elbowed her pink-skinned friend beside her with a knowing smile. "It's love!" Mina exclaimed. Uraraka froze. "Wh- what?!" She shook her hands restlessly. "Glove? Shove? Dove? -I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Is it Midoriya-Kun or Iida?! You're always with them, right?" Mina questioned.
"No that's not it!" Uraraka called, accidentally setting off her quirk and causing herself to float. "Who is it? Which one is it?!" Hagakure asked. "Spit it out." Jirou smirked. "You'll get a lighter sentence if you confess." She joked. "That's not it!" Uraraka defended.
"Come on guys, coming from someone who usually gets the end of this, let's leave the poor love-sick girl alone." Mai defended, smiling and standing up. "It's not love! I don't know what it is!"
Yaoyorozu followed Mai and stood from her seat. "Mai-Chan is right girls, we have an early start tomorrow. Let's get some rest."
"What?! No way! I want to hear more!"
As Uraraka looked out the window towards where Mai noticed Izuku training a while ago, Ma karate chopped the back of Mina's neck.
"Idiot! Let's go to sleep. I want to actually do well tomorrow!" Mina sighed and turned around. "Fine let's go." She sighed.
