35: Walk 'em Like a Dog, Sis

Your POV

Later in the dorms, we were all relaxing after the exam.

"So we're back to normal classes tomorrow, right?" Kyoka sighed.

"Ugh, unfortunately," I responded, closing my eyes as Mina started playing with my hair — my head resting in her lap.

"I suppose there's no rest for heroes," Momo responded.

"Yes, but we're only provisional heroes. Technically, shouldn't we get more breaks?"

"Ugh, yeah I agree," Mina groaned.

An idea hit me, and I sat up suddenly.

"What? What is it?"

"I just had the best idea. What if every Friday night we had a little dorm night? We'll get everyone together and do things like karaoke, charades, video games, and stuff like that?"

My friends broke out in wide grins, and I was pleased they liked the idea.

"That sounds so fun, are you kidding?" Toru squealed.

"Let's announce it to everyone, right now!"

Mina stood up on the couch, clapping her hands together.

"Hey! Everyone! Listen up!"

Gradually, the noise died down as everyone turned to look at her.

"Y/N has a preposition!"

All eyes were now on me.

"It's nothing crazy or anything. I just figured it might be fun to do some sort of Friday dorm night, where we could play games like charades, or Mariokart, or karaoke and stuff."

The dorm was quiet for a minute before everyone gave their input.

"Hey, that sounds great!"

"That sounds like a plan to me!"

"As Class Rep I should have been the one coming up with these group bonding ideas! But I like it! Let's do it!"

"Tch. What a stupid idea."

"Can we start this Friday?"

It was then agreed that the mandatory dorm game nights would happen every Friday, starting this Friday. The first game would be charades.

It was only later that I realized two of our classmates had been missing for nearly the whole night.

---------------

It turned out both Deku and Kacchan had been put under House Arrest by Mr. Aizawa. They had been out sparring in Ground Beta for a good part of the night.

But what was more surprising was the nature of the fight.

I found out from Deku that Kacchan had taken a guess about where he had gotten his power — and had been right. He had pressed Deku about the truth about his power before they fought. And Deku had confirmed it.

All Might had also shown up and interrupted them — and he had confirmed it as well.

Now, Kacchan knew about the true nature of One For All.

Perhaps it was this fact that made me knock on his door at a little past midnight.

Or perhaps it was the fact that I knew he never broke the rules like this — meaning something was very wrong.

"Go away," was his response.

"Kacchan, it's me."

"Don't care."
