"Awe man- we already won?" Mina whined, stopping her approach towards the bomb. Katsumi's laugh died in her throat and her eyes widened.

"Wait- how? That punch should have-" Her eyes locked onto Izuku. "What did you do?"

He looked away bashfully. "Have you heard about non-newtonian fluids?"

"You gave her fucking armor?" Katsumi just shook her head in exasperation.

"Yep~" Mina reached down her suit, causing Izuku to look away, blushing slightly, and pull out what looked like a large gel plate. "Izuku over there thought you would go for the chest- no idea how this works but those punches still stung like a bitch. "

Of-fucking-course he planned for how I attacked.

Her smirk returned.

"Jesus Christ, I was worried over nothing all these years." She mumbled.

"Well to be honest- the non-newtonian part was Yaorozu's idea... I was thinking full on scale-plate," He admitted.

"And only on the chest?" Katsumi asked, eyebrow arching.

"You always go for the torso..."

It's a force of habit- and it's your fault!

I couldn't just punch you in the face...

"Deku!" Ochako screamed from the top floor, jumping down with her gravity nullified.

Midway through the tablet she had taken stopped working, and the shock of the sudden motion-sickness caused her quirk to fail her, her fall suddenly accelerating.

Izuku lifted Katsumi up, their hug still unbroken since the announcement of his team's victory, and put her to the side. She blushed at the effort he didn't put behind the whole operation, lifting her with ease. " Bio-sonar " his gauntlets echoed, the metal gloves over his hands folding away as he let go of Katsumi and grabbed Ochako before she hit the ground. Much like he was used to with Mei.

"The tablet only worked for 5 minutes, eh?" he hummed absentmindedly, Ochako hugging his neck in part fear and part excitement.

"We won!" she chirped happily not realizing the position they were in just quite yet.

"We did!" he smiled back.

"So Blasty, how does it feel to lose?" Mina asked prodding the explosive woman, who was having too good of a day to even mind how close Izuku was with Ochako.

"Enjoy it while you can, Racoon Eyes, 'cause next fucking time you are going down. " There was no real animosity in her voice, even with the cuss added into it.

Mina looked at her, dumbfounded. "Woah, Izuku is scary if he got you like this-"

Now that got a reaction outta her. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!?" Katsumi screamed, struggling against the capture tape binding her arms to her torso.

"Ow-" Kyoka hissed appearing from the sidelines. "You sure scream a lot huh Baka-gou?" Mina and Ochako tried hard to keep their laughs to that nickname, failing badly.

Izuku sweat dropped-

Guys- don't antagonize her come on...

"Also- Raka-" Kyoka cut in, "I know you got jealous and all but- maybe get off of Green?"

The girl in question stopped laughing, finally noticing just how close she was with Izuku- one hand under her knees, the other on her back holding her softly but firmly,
