[HIATUS] Mha/Bnha x Female Gojo| I Alone Am The Honoured One

43. 7 December

A/N: Today was a study leave. So I felt like writing today. It's more likely a filler chapter.

7 December

I woke up unusually early today—exactly three seconds before my tenth alarm was about to ring. "Shit," I mumbled, just because it felt like the right thing to say first thing in the morning. It was one of those rare mornings where I felt slightly at ease, yet my usual grumpiness lingered in the background.

Dragging myself to the bathroom, I picked up my toothbrush. As I started brushing, I heard an overly enthusiastic squeal behind me.

"Good morning, Aki!"

I turned to see Teacup, her ever-bubbly energy too much for this early in the morning. Without pausing my brushing, I mumbled back, "Mowling, Teacup," my voice muffled by the toothbrush.

Her grin widened. "Do you know what today is?"

I raised a brow, trying to remember. "What? Your birthday was, like, in April, right?"

She pouted dramatically. "No, it's not about me. Just... never mind!"

Shrugging, I returned to brushing as more of the girls greeted me. Each one seemed to act... suspiciously. Too many sly glances and suppressed giggles.

"Am I forgetting something?" I mumbled under my breath.

"What was that?" Kyoka asked, leaning closer with curiosity.

"Nothing," I replied quickly, brushing it off.

The Walk to Class

The girls whispered among themselves during the walk, throwing occasional glances my way. Were they planning something? My mind churned, but I shook off the thought. It was probably nothing.

When we reached the classroom, Todoroki leaned over to me as I took my seat.

"I heard today is—"

Before he could finish, Kaminari interrupted loudly, "It’s Tu-Tuesday!"

"Seriously?" I raised a brow, unimpressed. "Weirdos."

"Look who's talking," Bakugo quipped from his seat, his usual grumpy tone oddly comforting in its consistency.

I sighed, leaning back. What’s with everyone today?

Lunch Break

By lunchtime, the odd behavior had only intensified. My table was filled with stifled laughter and poorly concealed whispers.

"Alright," I finally said, setting down my chopsticks. "What’s going on? You’re all acting like you’re in some secret spy mission."

Teacup grinned, her eyes sparkling. "Nothing at all! Just a normal day, right?"

"Totally normal," Kyoka added, though her smirk betrayed her.

I narrowed my eyes but dropped it. They’re definitely up to something.

7 December: Evening

The dim lights of the common area made me pause. My usual instincts were whispering that something was off, but I let Teacup drag me inside anyway.

As soon as I stepped into the room, the lights flicked on, and a chorus of "Surprise!" filled the space.

Confetti rained from above, and a massive banner reading "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Gojo!" hung across the wall. My classmates stood there, grinning like fools.

For a moment, I just stared, taking in the balloons, the cake, the decorations... the effort. It felt surreal.

“Wait...it’smy birthday today?” I finally asked, my voice softer than usual.
