Y/n P.O.V

Now he's giving life advice? Who does this guy think he is? 

I know, I know. I probably shouldn't think like that. But seriously. Who calls someone a try-hard, then proceeds to give them life advice? I sighed under my breath, returning to the photos I took today. There's one of me and Mina taking a selfie in the changeroom mirror, me wearing a cute black-and-white set with her wearing the matching one, just rainbow. Then there's a really stupid photo of Denki, the photo edited to enhance his forehead and butt (Don't ask me, he did it himself). Then there's one of Eijiro pointing to a fluffy little Pomeranian.
"It's Bakubro's long-lost twin!" I can hear him joking in my head. In the right-hand corner, I just managed to capture the angry floof himself, his scowl never disappearing from his face. It's as if he doesn't experience any emotions other than amusement (usually to the sacrifice of others' confidence), mild compliance, rage, loathing, or uncontrollable anger. 

I sighed softly under my breath once again. I guess he's right. I think to myself, even though taking his advice was the one thing I was against. I should probably not be so nervous about them hating me and focus more on actually enjoying the day with them. After I lock my phone and put it back into my pocket, Mina and Eijiro come back. Mina blew on her ice cream before taking a large bite. Bakugou and I had found a seat before they'd returned, and the time Eijiro even sat down with us, his food is all over his face instead of in his hands.

"Eijiro!" I laughed as he looked at me with surprise. "Did you eat the fried ice cream or smear it all over your face?" He took my light-hearted teasing well, and all three of us chuckle. The only person who wasn't laughing is Bakugou. He was still sitting at the opposite end of the table from me, displaying 'Mild Compliance'. I snickered at the thought, but I pretend as if I'm laughing about Eijiro's current situation. 

"Come over here," Mina demanded as she grabbed a paper towel and wiped his face clean. Eijiro went still, and his eyes were trained directly on Mina's face as she worked. I could see his breathing quicken from my seat, and I think Bakugou could tell as he's also watching him. Mina works quickly, but I could see her pink cheeks brighten as if she just realized how close she is. She's also breathing quicker now, and I finally smile. I cheer silently in my head, knowing my newest ship will sail beautifully.

I chuckled softly but hid it well, not wanting them to feel any more embarrassed than they already were. Just as Mina came back from throwing the dirty paper towel out, both Sero and Kaminari made their way over to the table.

"What'd we miss?" They asked in chorus, both with confused looks on their faces. I take a look behind me to see Mina a bit more pink than usual, Eijiro rigid in his seat, and Bakugou smirking just the tiniest bit. I knew that he noticed, his small display of 'Amusement' unable to escape my watchful eye. He's not the only one who can read emotions well. 

"Nothing," I assured, smiling. "We were waiting for you," I then take a look at my watch, a small rush of surprise flowing through me. It's almost one-thirty, and Iida would be over his head if we were a minute late," I get up as I finish speaking, reaching for the few bags of camp gear, new clothes, and other things I bought. The rest copy me and we start making our way over to the centre of the food court, a fountain with shimmering coins at the bottom. Something compels me to take out the coin in my pocket and I make a silent wish as I flick it into the cold, clear water. Please let this not be a disaster, please let this not be a disaster, please let this not be a disaster. I think to myself. 

We walk over to find the rest of our class, but something seems wrong. It hits me as I notice Uraraka's desperate glances around the court. Izuku-kun isn't there.

"He was just with us!" Uraraka exclaims frantically as she glanced around the large dome-shaped food court. Her hair bobbed around her head, trying to keep up with her. She fiddled with a bracelet on her arm and I walk over to her with Mina.
