"Now, for your work this term, I've decided it's important to make sure you guys can work in teams when it comes to academics as well, not just training," Midnight said. Y/N's head instantly hit the desk, she hated group work. Her partners always either got in her way or made her feel stupid. "So, considering some of you have made a few costume changes over these past months, I think it would be excellent for you guys to do a project about the history of hero costumes, and how they've changed."

"Yes! I love group work," Kaminari said. He turned to Sero, "Bro, you're with-"

"Nuh uh, Kaminari, I'm choosing the partners, you're with Tokoyami. Ojiro will be with Hagakure. Bakugo and Kirishima will be paired up. Midoriya and Uraraka are together. Ashido, Jiro and Yaoyorozu will work in a three. Iida and Aoyama are in a pair. Sato and Koda will work together. Todoroki and Asui, Shoji and Mineta, and finally..."

"No!" Y/N practically yelled. "No, no, no. No way, are you kidding me? Miss Midnight, I will get on my hands and knees right now-"

"Freaky," Sero whispered.

"See? You want me to work with him? He's the devil."

Midnight furrowed her brows. "All he said was freaky... Anyway, I think it'd be good for you two to work together and sort out your differences, you seem to have a very unreasonable issue with each other."

"If we're pairing people up based on 'unreasonable issues', shouldn't Bakugo be paired with anyone but Kirishima?"

"Hey, don't throw me under the bus, you damn extra!" Bakugo yelled.

Midnight sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "The pairs are final. You have two weeks, and other than the fact your project must be about the history of costumes, you have free rein. Class dismissed."

When they finally left class, Y/N and Sero happened to be walking side by side.

"I'll do the project and put your name on," Y/N said before speeding up, not wanting to look like she was walking with him.

"Um, hell no, you're stupid."

"Aren't you, like, seventeenth in the class,"

"Are you sixteenth?"

"Shut up."

"Just come to my dorm in an hour and we'll start on it."

"Fine. But I want it over with quickly."

"Oh, you can't hate me that much, L/N, my face is too pretty."

"If by pretty you mean punchable, then yeah, you're right, so pretty."

She finally escaped Sero and walked the rest of the way to the dorms with Hagakure and Ojiro, who expressed their sympathies, but also found the fact that she was working with Sero very funny.

"At least it's not Mineta," Hagakure shrugged.

"That's the only worse option. I think Midnight put him with a guy on purpose. Now I actually have to spend time with Sero."

"It can't be that bad," Ojiro said, "After all, you're talking about hero costumes, not each other."

"I guess that's right."

——————————

Knock knock knock.

"Hurry up and open the door, Sero, I wanna get this shit over with."

The door swung open, revealing Sero. Why did he have to be wearing a compression shirt? He wore baggy clothes literally everyday, and he chose today to wear a compression shirt?

"I was about to go to the gym," Sero said. Oh, that makes sense.

"Well, you can't. You said work on the project in an hour, it's been an hour, sit your ass down on that floor and do the work with me."

"Okay, miss bossy!"

She rolled her eyes and sat down, him sitting opposite her. They spent their time brainstorming on what to do, since the project was pretty vast. Neither of them wanted to admit that the other had good ideas, spending most of the time bickering, but they eventually came to an agreement.

"This was productive," Sero said, "But it's getting late and I still need to get my workout in before curfew. We'll start the actual work tomorrow, yeah?"

"Yeah, whatever."

Y/N stood up and grabbed her things, walking out of Sero's room.

"It was nice working with you," Sero said sarcastically.

"Fuck you."

"You wish!"
