(Deku's pov)

That night I cringed myself to sleep. Getting a boner infront of Kacchan! How do I recover from that?

To my surprise he handled the situation calmly. He didn't even scold me for what happened. Instead he looked for a resolution which is a relief, but part of me is.. well, sad.

He mentioned wearing contacts for our next study session, which means I won't be able to see his glasses again.

I shouldn't be sad about the situation, he's doing this to help me focus, but I guess part of me wants to see him wearing them.

It's stupid and frustrating. I want two different things at once!

Even without the glasses, I don't think I'll be able to focus. All I do is think about them. Now that I've seen them, it's all I can imagine.

The next day came and I dreaded leaving my room. How could I face Kacchan after all that?

Eventually I had to leave. I have to stay focussed on school after all. Once I had left, I quickly grabbed breakfast and left as early as I could. Anything to avoid Kacchan.

As embarrassing as it is, I can't see him. Not yet. Not until our next study session that is.

The thought of it makes me sick with guilt. I had just became civil with him. What would he think now?

I moped towards my seat in class. I was at least 20 minutes early.

I decided to spend my time writing in my journal. Perhaps I could think of study techniques! Or maybe decide what was subject was best to study next.

However, as I reached for my journal -in my bag- I saw someone enter the room. Aizawa? No.. it was Kacchan. Kacchan!

I forgot he came to class early. I was thinking of ways to avoid him I forgot things about him like this. He's the first to wake up in class 1A, he's the first to leave and he's the first to come to class.

What was I going to do now?

His eyes blinked in my direction, staring right through his soul.

I turned away, hurriedly fishing out my journal, slamming it on the desk. I can't look at him.

Although I couldn't see him, I listened as he strolled towards me, taking his seat in front of me.

Minutes passed, I attempted to start my plans for studying, but failed: it was hard to concentrate knowing Kacchan was centimetres in front of me.

I wonder what he was thinking. Had he thought about the previous night, the 'incident?'

As I lost focus, I found myself looking at him. That's when I glanced down towards his bag, it was open. Although I couldn't see much through the scattered papers and varies book, I could faintly see a familiar case.

It was the case for his glasses.

Did he always carry them around with him?

It's hard to think after years of knowing Kacchan I had never knew he wore glasses.

Actually, now that I think about it, it may be something he would want to hide -in middle school at least.

Even then, I never saw him wear them before that.

"Midoriya, you're here early," I heard a voice state. Looking up, I saw it was Todoroki.

"O-oh, I just woke up earlier than usual so decided to spend my time here," I replied.

Was I making it obvious?

"I saw you rush out the dorms, I figured you had a reason.." Todorki continued.

"N-nope! No reason."

I heard Kacchan scoff from in front of me.

It was definitely obvious.

Todoroki left my side, returning to his seat. I slid back in my chair, covering my face with the palms of my hands.

I need to calm down, focus, focus!

Thankfully, the day passed quickly. I guess thinking about ways to avoid Kacchan kept me distracted from the time. I couldn't decide if that was a good or bad thing, but for the time being I'll take it as good.

However, as the school day ended, I realised it was only hours till we would be together.. to study.

I could physically feel my heart sink into my stomach thinking about it.

1 hour passed, then 2, then 3, then it was finally time.

I felt my heart pound louder, the closer I approached his room. Minutes later I was directly in front of his door.

I took seconds, contemplating when to knock, but was startled when the door flung open.

"Oi, what's taking you so long? Get in," Kacchan commanded.

I jumped before rushing in. Standing hopelessly waiting for instructions.

"What are you doing?" Kacchan scowled, "sit."

I nodded awkwardly, sitting where I sat yesterday. I looked down, too scared to look up.

I could hear Kacchan take a seat opposite me -this time. I don't blame him, I wouldn't want to sit next to me after yesterday.

I heard him shuffle through a pile of papers before passing me a sheet of lined paper. A question was written with his handwriting along the top.

"Answer this question in the same format you wrote your essay in," he simply said, passing me a pen.

I gulped, taking it from him.

I held the pen against the paper, thinking of what to write. Minutes passed and I hadn't written a single word, instead, a large blotch of ink was left on the page: my mind was blank.

(Bakugou's pov)

I watched aimlessly as Deku sat in silence, pen on paper without a single letter written on the page.

"You gonna sit there and do nothing? I finally asked.

He glanced up towards me.

"I can't think," he answered.

Yeah, that's for sure.

"You're distracted. Is this about yesterday? I'm not going to blackmail you if that's what you're thinking," I sighed.

"No, no it's not that. I just.." he continued but didn't finish.

"How about this.." I began, "how about we play a game."

"A game?"
