7:00 AM

"Woah!" You jumped back after seeing how sleepy Mina seemed. She looked like she could have starred in a zombie movie naturally to save money on makeup.

"Nice eyebags." Jirou snorted. Mina shoved her shoulders and Jirou only laughed harder at how upset she looked. Her scrunched eyebrows coupled well with her half-open eyes, Jirou mused to herself. But the joke was on her, because you caught Mina when she stumbled, and Jirou was now the one to look upset when you slung one of her arms over your shoulders so you could help her walk. You really were too sweet; bright as the morning and soft as the rain. Jirou walked faster.

"Just how late did you guys stay up studying?!" You fretted. Honestly, part of you was too scared to even ask, but you wanted to know what you were working with here.

"You guys... went to sleep... at ten, right?" You nodded, getting more and more worried with each passing moment she delayed answering your question.

"Yeah...?" You answered. Mina began counting on her fingers. She stopped at the fourth one.

"We went to bed at two." She concluded. Your jaw dropped.

"What?! Quelle horreur! (How awful!)" You sputtered. Mina nodded and let her head plop down on your shoulder.

"You said it, I bet." She muttered into your shirt sleeve. If sleep deprivation was the cost of being close to you, she'd be happy to pay that price today... Who said that?!

"Good morning." Aizawa greeted you all, pulling you out of your moment with Mina. The contrast between his gruff voice and his words almost made you laugh.

"Good morning, Sir!" You chirped, as energetic as ever. Well, at least I can always count on her to boost morale. Aizawa thought.

"I hope you can stay that lively all day, Kurusu." Your eyes glistened at the additional challenge given to you by your homeroom teacher.

"I will, Sir! Don't you worry!" You reassured him. He nodded, laughing through his nose before moving on.

"Get to work." He said and you moved to remove Mina's arm from your shoulders, but she clung to you even tighter. You laughed.

"Mina, I have to go now."

"No." She mumbled, pressing her face directly against your arm now.

"No leave. Stay." She said. She reminded you of a child. You couldn't help but snicker at her neediness.

"Mina, you have to let go-"

"Woah, Mina, is that you?!" Mina groaned at the voice before she even saw who it was. Oh, she knew who it was. He's really trying to ruin my moment with (Name), huh-

"Man, you look beat! Here, lemme help!" Kaminari took one hand while Sero took the other and they dragged her away from you and over to her training spot. She whined "this is unfair!" and "you guys suck!" while weakly kicking her legs in protest.

You quietly giggled to yourself. They didn't get much sleep, but they're still as energetic as ever.
