Chapter Fourteen: Is it Just the Calm Before the Storm

(Ura POV 3rd person)

The small brunette tucked her arms behind her head, her eyes cast onto the ceiling above her. It had become the most interesting thing to look at as her thoughts from the day before clouded her mind, images of her green haired friend doubled over in pain by the smell of food, what Shoto had told them after the green mess fell asleep on him. "Ura," she wished there was something she could do to help him, no matter how small. "Ura,"

"Hmm?" she was pulled from her thoughts as someone called out to her, brown eyes met black ones as they leaned over to block her vision of the ceiling.

"I called out a few times. Lost in thought kero?"

"Yea, I was thinking about Izu. I want to find a way to help him," a heavy sigh left her lips as she sat up eyes glanced around her environment, the large common space was empty besides herself, Tsu, and Tenya. Their early morning coffee mugs placed neatly on the table across from the couches. As she looked at each mug she remembered the day they had been given them, a small freckled boy with curly green hair was the creator behind the custom painted mug, he was so eager to let them open the carefully wrapped mugs. They had noticed his hands covered in many colors from the gifts they had been holding, Uraraka fell in love with hers at the sight of it, 'Uraravity' was painted in a pale shade of pink, along with the name was a beautiful galaxy filled with bright stars. Soon the group known as DekuSquad had made it their daily routine to sit and enjoy each others company with, mugs filled to the brim with their choice of liquid. It was rare that they all had the same drink, mostly, juice, tea, coffee, or the occasional smoothie. "Smoothies,"

"What's that Ura?" the brunette looked at the blue haired male who spoke to her, he seemed a little off put by her direct sudden eye contact.

"Let's make him smoothies, they don't really have a smell, and we can always put a lid on the cup if it does,"

"That actually sounds like a wonderful idea, I don't believe Shoto has tried it either, kero," a bright smile slipped onto the rosy cheeked teen, the trio wasted no time getting to work. They compiled the ingredients from the fridge, they had enough to make a few different flavors, the only trouble was deciding which to make.

"Pineapple, mango, orange,"

"Blueberry, strawberry, grape,"

"Raspberry, mango, apple, I like them," Iida retorted as he looked over they list they created, each of them had decided on a flavor to make. With the list in hand Uraraka put them to work, after an hour they had three labeled cups filled with the smoothies they made, the three cups were the only thing unscathed from the mess they had made. She noticed that even Tsu had smoothie on her apron, Tenya's hands were caked in protein powder, and her own face had remnants of the sweet liquid the blending machine threw at them on their first attempt.

"Who knew smoothie making could create such a mess," she laughed as her eyes looked to her friends they too joined in her laughter as each of them took a moment to clean up the mess they had made. "All that's left is to see if this works,"

"If what works?" their head turned to the new voice, in the kitchen doorway stood a curly green haired teen, his small frame engulfed in what looked to be one of Shoto's shirts, paired with All Might themed shorts, and his bunny slippers. The sight made their hearts melt, sure he was one of the stronger boys in the class, but his small stature made for some adorable picture opportunities. Uraraka smirked as she took a quick photo of the boy before she answered his question.

"We made smoothies, all of them are for you to try. We thought since it's a liquid with little to no smell it may help you get a little food into your system,"
