Part 14

"Stop yelling at us from behind!" I scolded him. He scratched his head awkwardly.

"Hehe, sorry. But I was told by Higashi you all haven't left from here all day so I assumed you all haven't went out to eat, and I just went to the store to stock up the fridge for food, so I also went out and got food for everybody!" He shoved huge bags of food our way. We all swooned at the food with a big sniff and sighed with a smile.

"Thanks All Might!" We thanked him and took the hot food to the big desk in the middle of my room and sat down. 

"No problem! Remember to eat well, don't choke, and drinks are in the fridge! I'll be out on patrol for a while, so be good every one!" He ran off with a wave out the door. "You girls did a good job on the rooooom~!" His voice faded off in the distance as we heard the front door close.

"I think we may get a noise complaint soon with him around." I joked. The others laughed. 

"Well," Yaoyorozu stood up, "Before we sit and eat, we should put up the black lights, put away the empty boxes, and get those drinks." We all agreed with her. "Good, then Jiro and I can set them up, Hagakure and Tsu, you two can fold up the boxes and set them in the side of the empty closet I saw down the hall, Ashido you clean any trash off the ground, and L/n and Uraraka can get the drinks. With the work divided, it will be faster, and the food will still be hot when we get back."

"Yes ma'am!" We all said, and got to work. We got everyone's drink request and headed into the kitchen. Rummaging through the fridge, I gathered the drinks and set them next to Uraraka who was gathering the cups.

"So, L/n, how do you like this place so far? With the school, the new place and new people?" She asked.

I smiled to myself as we poured the drinks. "Honestly, it's been one of the most overwhelming things that I've ever felt, but because of that, I got to experience many new things that I wouldn't want to trade for anything." I pour the last drink and look the brown hair girl in the eye. "And having you all around has been so magical. I haven't gotten along with- much less met- anyone else my age, before coming here. And I'm so glad that it was all of you that I got to experience all this with."

Her face was plastered with a wide and warm smile as she nudged me and put her head on my shoulder as we walked with the drinks in our arms. "That's what friends are for. I've never had this much fun in forever. I know that with you here, it will never get boring." I rested my head on hers. A warm feeling came over me, and there was a certain calmness in the air. I can finally say, I have friends.

"Thank you." I said softly. I didn't think she heard me until she nuzzled my shoulder and replied. 

"Happy to help." We separated and set the drinks on the table.

"Wow, it looks great guys, it's just how I wanted it!" I smiled wide at the black lights that were posted vertically on each corner of the walls. 

Yaoyorozu and Jiro smiled and sat with us at the table. "Thanks! We forgot to ask you how you wanted it, so Jiro suggested we do it this way."

"Yeah, here." Jiro handed me a small black oval remote that held only one button. "It came with the box. Let's see if it works." Asui and Hagakure walked in. "Hit the lights." Asui flicked off the light switch. The room flooded in black. The only lights were the little lights from the moon glowing past the sheer white curtains we put up on the glass wall of the balcony.  I clicked the button, and the purple glow of the black lights flooded the room. The color of some items around the room became to glow and everything felt reborn under the dark illumination. 

"Wow~." Everyone looked around, too fascinated by the new atmosphere to say anything else. 

"I don't ever want to leave here." Tsu laughed. We all laughed with her and turned the lights back on and sat down to eat. The rest of the night, we just talked and laughed till we were tired.
