Birds of a Feather

This isn't sexy!

"Are we even allowed on the boy's side of the dorms?" Karasu asked as she pulled the bag of apple chips she'd been snacking out of back and away from Todoroki as he reached over to sneak one. "Won't we get in trouble?"

"Maybe if it was just one of two of us, but all of us? It'll be fine!" Mina exclaimed. "Besides, don't you wanna see all the boys' rooms? I'm so curious what they look like!"

"Now that is a good point." Karasu's eyebrows shot up as she looked at Todoroki. "I'm in."

"Yes! Let's go!" Uraraka cheered as their class began to crowd into the elevator.

"Hey-" Todoroki put a hand on Karasu's shoulder as she folded the top of her bag over and set it aside. "You're still doing alright? Bakugo is sitting this out, are you sure you shouldn't too?"

She smiled, taking his hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze. "I'm alright, I promise. I'd tell you if I wasn't." she promised.

"Okay. Let's go." he hit the elevator button and they both stepped in. "Maybe we shouldn't- in front of everyone," he held their hands up.

"They'd definitely ask too many questions." she agreed, letting go of his hand before the doors opened.

As they went from room to room, everyone was laughing as they walked together. It was the most fun they'd had as a class since sitting in the student section at the Sports Festival. It was like it had been in the beginning.

Room after room, they all laughed and chatted their way through it. Some surprises, some not so much. At some point, Karasu wasn't exactly sure how everyone agreed to it seeing as it was Mineta's idea, they had decided to include the girls' rooms as well.

"I can't believe you redid your entire room." Karasu teased Todoroki as the class left his room.

"I don't see what's so impressive about it." Todoroki shrugged as they all walked towards the elevators again. "I told you all how I did it."

"Todoroki, 'hard work' isn't the explanation you think it is." She gave him a look and laughed when he shrugged again.

"I guess that's my room first up for the girls' side." Karasu said as she picked at her nails, stepping out of the elevator ahead of her class to open her door. "Hawks hasn't brought me my canopy for my bed from home, so it isn't finished yet... be nice."

"You're one of those people who looks up everyone's star charts, aren't you?" Sero commented as they looked around her room.

Karasu had zodiac charts up on her walls, and a star map was on her window showing where various constellations positions in the sky were.

"It's interesting!" she responded, folding her arms.

"If you say so." Kaminari commented as he looked at the charts. "It just looks complicated to me."

"Well if we judge everything based on what's complicated to you," Jiro teased him.

"I think it's cool!" Kirishima said, examining the star map on her window.

"Thank you, Kirishima." Karasu nodded to him. "It'll be even cooler when Hawks gets my canopy here this weekend."

"This isn't sexy!" Mineta whined, looking around boredly.

"Get him out of my room." Karasu said immediately, looking at a few of her classmates.

"Let's keep moving!" Hagakure said excitedly.

"I'm settling in pretty well, Hawks." Karasu said, swinging her legs off the edge of the roof. It was still fairly early, before classes. She had taken her breakfast of pop tarts to the roof to have a private conversation with her brother. "Thanks for getting my canopy to me a few days ago, by the way. It's nice to have my room really finished."
