Heroes of Tomorrow

Part 2~The Rooms

Uzu grinned as he stretched out his arms. He had officially finished. His room was set up, all his items were organised, and he was going to get a drink before he read his latest manga.

Stopping, Uzu stared in shock, unsure what to do. Bakugo was standing in the kitchen, pouring himself a glass of water.

Uzu wanted to turn and run away. He didn't want to talk to Bakugo right now. Nope. Time to go. Uzu turned when he heard Bakugo tut. "Why the fuck are you avoiding me?"

Uzu blinked. "Cause you're scary?" Bakugo scowled, making Uzu step back further. He really wanted to leave, but he closed his eyes and took a breath. "Hey, about what happened?"

"What about it?!"

Uzu's will to stay and talk this out was fraying. "I just..." Uzu took a very deep breath. There goes his will, snapping like a fine thread. "Nope. Forget it." Uzu spun around, rushing to the door when Bakugo tutted again.

"I'm not going to tell anyone."

Uzu froze, glancing over his shoulder. "W-What?"

"I'm not going to tell anyone. Not about your shitty crush or the other stuff."

Uzu's shoulders fell, and he almost collapsed, catching himself on the wall. "Seriously?"

"Why the fuck would I tell anyone? It's none of their business."

Uzu smiled. "Hey, look at that. You're not half a bad person."

"What the fuck you mean by that?!"

Uzu jumped up. "Nothing!" Uzu stepped back as he chuckled. "Still, thank you."

Bakugo grunted in response as Uzu rushed away. It wasn't until he returned to his room that he realised he still didn't have a drink.

"Ah, shit."

The sunset and the lights turned on. The students gathered in the living area, exhausted and ready to collapse. "Man, I'm beat," Kirishima grumbled as Naka nodded, taking a seat beside him.

"You and me both. You done unpacking?"

"I think so."

"Feels good, right? My family moved only recently; half my stuff was already in boxes. I forgot I owned half that stuff."

Kirishima laughed heartily as Naka beamed. "I know we could've died. But it's kind of exciting to be living here."

"A unified class. It's the perfect way to increase our cooperation and discipline. How smart," Iida shouted as Uzu scowled.

"Not everyone."

The class temperature dropped harshly. Akiko laughed as she walked in. "Wow, and here I thought I would kill the mood." Akiko stopped, jumping onto the couch and sitting with her legs to her chest.

"You boys done with your rooms?" Mina grinned as she and the other girls walked in.

"Yup," Kaminari cheered, shaking off Uzu's comment. "We're just unwinding now."

"Well, the girls and I have been talking and," Mina drifted off as Hagakure bounced forward.

"We have a great idea!"

"Let's go around and see who has the coolest room!" Mina grinned as Midoriya panicked. He looked horrified, but that just made them want to visit it more.

Pushing open the door, the group could see the room. It was full of All Might figures, pictures, posters, everything.

"You're such a fanboy," Uraraka laughed as Midoriya leaned over his desk.
