Iida and I have been sitting in the kitchen alone, just talking, for 2 hours now. It's nice, talking to him. He's a shockingly calm and laid-back person when you're not breaking any rules.
While we talk, he takes his glasses off and all of a sudden, I'm starting to understand those Disney transformations of those girls who take off their glasses and let their hair down, and they're suddenly hot.
I stare at Iida, just taking in his features.
"You know, if you take a picture, it might last longer." He chuckles.
My face instantly heats up and I look down at my hands. "Shut the fuck up."
"Language," he says, sternly.
"Sorry," I grumble.
We talk like that for hours until I feel so exhausted, I don't even think I'll make it to the elevator.
"You're tired," Iida notices, checking his phone. His eyes widen immediately. "We're an hour past curfew. We need to go. Can you make it to your room or do you need help?"
"I can... I can make it," I mumble, getting up but immediately stumbling.
"y/n, no you can't. Here, let me help you..."
He wraps an arm around my waist to hold me up as we walk and suddenly, I'm not that tired anymore. While we walk, I focus on his arm and how his thumb lightly caresses my waist while he holds me. Fuck, I need to go to sleep...
Saturday, 6:32
A few days have past and every single day without fail, Iida and I repeat the same routine.
Eat breakfast, go on a run, go to class, walk back to the dorms together, go on a walk, and talk until I'm too tired to stand.
But now that it's Saturday, I don't know how we're going to hang out or what our schedule will be like.
I climb out of bed, drink some water, change, and walk downstairs. Instead of seeing Iida in the kitchen as usual, however, I'm alone. I don't know why I feel disappointed, but I do. I sit down on the couch and pull out my phone, pulling up Twitter. As soon as it opens, I notice a tweet from Todoroki and I start dying laughing, quietly though, since the whole class is still sleeping.

While I'm scrolling and giggling at the tweets I see, I hear the door open and I jump, startled, expecting it to be an intruder since everyone should be asleep.
But it's just Iida. When did he leave? Did I miss him? Or did he leave before I got down here.
"Oh, good morning, y/n," he greets with a smile, slipping off his shoes and walking over to me before sitting down on the couch next to me.
"Good morning. When did you leave?" I ask.
"I couldn't sleep. I've been out since 4."
"Damn. I could never have that motivation."
"What are you doing?"
"Scrolling Twitter. Wanna watch with me?"
He nods and I scoot closer to him so he can see. He puts and arm behind me, resting his hand on my shoulder, but I don't think much of it.
While we're laughing at a tweet from Present Mic,

Kaminari, Mina, and Kirishima walk downstairs. I ignore them, though, just focusing on Iida and my phone, until Mina starts squealing.
"Yesssss, I ship it!" She squeals.
"I know, right?!" Kaminari laughs.
I look over at them as the 3 sit down on one of the chairs, Mina on the chair part and the boys sitting on the armrests on each side of her.
"What are you guys yapping about?"
"Oh, nothi-" Mina starts, but Kaminari cuts her off.
"You 2 are so cute together!"
I blush hard and pull away from Iida. "Wh-What are you talking about Kaminari? Shut up and go charge something," I roll my eyes.
Mina starts cackling. "She ate that."
Iida looks at me, but for some reason, he looks a little concerned.
"You okay?" He asks me.
"Yeah, I'm fine. They just... caught me a little off guard I guess," I reply.
"Oh. Do you want them to leave?"
I smile. "No. They're okay."
He nods and Mina speaks up again.
"Guys, I want to get the class together later tonight. Are you 2 down for joining?" She asks.
I think about it for a moment and Iida looks at me.
"Are you going to go?"
"Yeah, I guess I'll go," I agree.
Iida nods. "I'll go too, then."
Mina squeals and jumps up, almost knocking Kaminari and Kirishima off the armrests.
"Great! When everyone else gets up, I'll ask around! It shouldn't be too much of a problem, though. Okay, you 2! Make sure you're in here by 16:00. Me and Kami will bring drinks and Kiri, you and Bakugo get snacks. Please ask Bakugo to make cookies. You're the only one he'll listen to," she pouts, giving Kirishima puppy dog eyes.
