"It feels kind of awkward to be the only one painting while everyone else is working on that project....." you muttered to yourself.

You could see everyone on their computers and working away on this project you heard one of the members mention earlier. The thought of using a computer actually got you curious, but you were constantly drawing on your sketchbook or painting. That was when you realized that you were not going to change if you continue isolating yourself by painting all alone. You mixed a few colors together to form a color that wasn't fully mixed. The mixture still held its original colors, which was what you wanted from the start. You gazed out at the window to see the sun hovering slightly above the horizon. 'I wonder if Bakugou is done cleaning. It's kinda irresponsible of me to just leave him to do all the work while I sit on this stool and paint to my heart's desire.' you thought to yourself, eyeing the palette on your hands. Bakugou's words rang in your mind like an alarm.

His words that told you to go away and leave him alone. You huffed and began painting, slightly angered. He wanted you to go so badly then, you'll just have to get him back later. For now, you were going to enjoy your time here and paint whatever you wanted. You used the colors you wanted and drew whatever you had envisioned in your head earlier. It was something simple, but you decided to put a little bit more effort into it.

Kendou and Yaoyorozu never knew that you were this good at painting. Earlier, they both noticed how you were painting in an aggressive manner. The black haired female simply thought it was because you were recalling what Bakugou said to you earlier. However, she noted how you were different. You looked so elegant, serious and so deep in thought. There was already paint splattered on the apron you were wearing, some were on your hair and on your cheek. Even so, you looked beautiful. Illuminated by the evening glow, your features seem to be much more dignified. Specks of orange, red and yellow were stuck to your skin. You hadn't even noticed the crowd that were staring to form around you. Within minutes, you were able to paint the exact same view you could see outside the window.

It was just breathtaking.

When you thought you finished, you removed the paint brush away from the canvas, admiring your work with a confused look. 'Is there something missing? I didn't really thought about what I was drawing.' you thought to yourself. It turned out great which caused you to smile softly.

"That's amazing, [First Name]!" Yaoyorozu was the first one to compliment you.

"You're so good at this, [Last Name]!" the other members began crowding to see your work, admiring the beautiful painting of the evening sky you had just finished painting. That was when you realized that everyone was gathered around you, looking at your work.

"We have a genius here!"

"Can you help us pick colors for our art, [Last Name]?"

For the first time, you didn't feel left out for liking art. With a smile, you let yourself be dragged by the people who were asking for help.

"S-Sure!" came your response.

It didn't take long for you to get used to the art club's activities. They only take place on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Currently, you were reading a small book filled with notes about the art club. It had the names of almost everyone who had requested help from you. Even though you were no expert at digital art, they sought for help from you. They only asked for advice, like what color should they use for this and that or what kind of setting should they use for a certain panel. Honestly, you learned a lot of things from them as well. The club was a nice place to be in, there were friendly people, you could draw, paint and do whatever you wanted. On some days, the members just gather around to gossip about the latest rumors. Sometimes, they would visit other clubs. You were so absorbed in reading your small notebook about tips on digital art that you collided into someone.
