Cause and Effect - (DabiDeku)

Mina had gathered the girls all together in the common room and explained the changes to the sleepover. Most of them were excited. Toru, who was one of the new additions to Izuku's friend group (which they called the Zu crew) was just glad Himiko was going to be a part of the sleepover. Momo, who had been to the fifth floor before, was just glad that she wouldn't need to worry about Minoru sneaking in on them during the night. Kyoka was excited, as she had heard that they had one hell of a sound system in their common room. Tsu was hoping that she might run into Izuku in order to apologize to him. She had been feeling exceptionally bad about the things she had said about the boy. Especially since she didn't really mean any of it, she had said those things because she felt pressured into it by her other friends. Ochaco was excited because she was a nose bitch and was hoping to do some snooping to maybe get some dirt on the twins of Izuku to help Tenya in his pursuit to get the boy kicked out of the school. Of course that was never going to happen.

After some talking Mina had decided that Himiko was now the host of the sleepover, but since she had never been to one before let alone hosted one the pink haired girl would help her. Over the next couple hours the two worked together with Izuku and the other girl's to gather all the needed supplies and belongings. The girls all brought their blankets and pillows and other essentials to the elevator and Himiko and Mina took them up to the fifth floor. Izuku had ordered food, drinks, snacks, and other essentials to make this the best sleepover for his friend. The greenette being the generous boy that he still was, even ordered stuff for the other groups. He had power bars and ice cold water delivered to the gym for Jin and his group, and drinks, and snacks for Denki and his group. Izuku knew this would benefit a few people he didn't like but it wasn't about them, it was about his friends.

Yes, Izuku had changed. He changed his wardrobe, changed his attitude, changed his personality, changed his mind set. But to those who stuck by him, to those who he cared about, he was still the sweet, kind, generous boy he had always been.

Mina had texted Himiko that they were all ready. The blond had replied and said that her girlfriend would be there in just a few minutes and she would be down then. It was now nearing six thirty and all the girls were in their pajamas in the common room waiting. Minoru was off to the side staring and drooling at them like the little perv he was. Shoto was in the kitchen eating his soba noodles, and Tenya had just entered the room. Ochaco left the girls and went over to her boy friend and began a whispered conversation. Soon there was a knock on the door.

"Now what?" the bespectacled boy said exasperated. "I got it." Mina called, jumping up from her spot and running over to the door. The pink haired girl smiled brightly when she saw the other pink haired girl. "Hey Mina how's it going?" Mei asked. "It's good. Come on in. Himiko should be right down." Mina replied, ushering the other girl into the room. Had she forgotten to tell the others they were having an extra guest, maybe, maybe not. The two girls walked in from the entryway. Tenya and Ochaco were the first to spot them. Tenya ran a hand through his hair, adjusted his glasses and ran his hands over his shirt. "M...Mei, what are you doing here?" the blue haired boy stuttered. His attention was now on his ex instead of his current girlfriend. The pink haired girl looked him up and down, she shook her head and pursed her lips. She didn't bother to answer, just scoffed and walked away. "Mei, please talk to me. I've missed you." Tenya blurted, forgetting that Ochaco was standing right next to him. "SERIOUSLY TENYA!" Ochaco screeched, smacking the blue haired boy on the arm. Tenya looked from Ochaco to Mei and back to Ochaco. "I...I... Sorry." he stuttered again. "Whatever!" Ochaco said before stomping her way back over to the other girls, who were watching the scene with rapt attention. There was nothing she could truly do, if she made a fuss Tenya could break up with her and since it was his family paying her tuition, that would be bad. She didn't love him, hell she didn't really even like him, but she had to stay at Ua so she could get a good education, and hopefully find a rich husband.

Tenya on the other hand stared at his ex-girlfriend with longing. She had been his first love, his first kiss, his first everything and he had been devastated when she broke up with him. This was another reason the blue haired boy now despised his once close friend. Mei continued to ignore Tenya focusing instead on Mina who was explaining about the sleepover. Mei agreed to stay and sent a quick text to her homeroom teacher, and door monitor. The man replied quickly stating it was fine with him. In truth he was grateful to have a couple days away from his overzealous student. Mei Hatsume was in the engineering program at Ua high. Unfortunately her projects had a tendency to explode or crash and break things.

Tenya continued to call the pink dreadlocked girl, trying everything he could think of to get her attention. Completely ignoring the fact that his current girlfriend was sitting on the couch just feet away seething. Mei on the other hand kept her back to the boy and spoke to the other pink haired girl as she waited for her girlfriend to arrive.
