It was a hot summer day, and most of class 1A was sitting in the shade, just lounging. They were getting pretty bored, until a certain bubblegum haired alien remembered a game she had learned from an acting camp.
"Guys! I know a game we can play!" Mina exclaimed.
"Well, what is it?" Midoriya asked her.
"How you play is one person goes to the front of the group and someone from the group gives them a quote. The person at the front then has to pick a random emotion, and without telling anybody, say the quote using that emotion. There are also four levels you can pick from, one being the least amount of that emotion, four being the most amount. Got it?"
A chorus of "yes's" and "yeah's" were heard in response.
"Cool, who wants to go first?"
"I'll go!" Momo raised her hand.
"Does anyone have a quote or saying for Momo?"
"Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I can't see!" Kaminari called out.
Momo went up with confidence written all over her face. She said the quote, a hint of excitement in her tone.
"Is it excitement, level one?" Uraraka asked.
"Yes!"
"Alright, who's next?"
This went on for a couple more rounds, until it was Todoroki's turn. Bakugo yelled him his saying.
"Oi, half 'n half! An apple a day keeps ANYONE away if you throw it hard enough!"
He said the quote, his voice as flat as week old open soda. No one could figure it out.
"Todoroki? C-could you tell us what it is? I don't think a-anyone knows it." Midoriya asked, kind of nervously.
"Sure. It was mad, level four."
"Uh-huh...maybe you could try a different emotion?" Kirishima suggested.
"Of course."
He repeated the quote, his voice never changing.
"What was that one?" Kirishima asked.
"Fear, level two."
"Todoroki, do you not know how to express emotion?" Mina inquired.
"I-I guess not."
"This requires us to resort to very serious measures! Girls, follow me!"
Mina rushed off, followed by the other girls present.

Mina ran into her dorm room, and immediately came up with a plan.
"We need to write emotions on slips of paper, then hand one out to each participating class member. At 11 AM every morning, whoever's turn it is will meet Todoroki out under the tree and they will teach them how to express that emotion. If they don't know how to teach him, they are allowed to swap, but only if we say so! We only need fourteen, because Tokoyami, Shoji, Satou and Hagakure are on vacation, Mineta's definitely not helping, and Todoroki can't teach himself. Got it?"
"Got it!" Was heard from the other girls.
They got to work, writing emotions on slips and writing a number beside it. The list turned out something like this:
1. Sadness
2. Irritation
3. Guilt
4. Happiness
5. Surprise
6. Fury
7. Bliss
8. Silly
9. Confused
10. Uncomfortable
11. Trust
12. Brave
13. Caring
14. Love
Mina gathered the slips and plopped them all in a hat. The girls walked out of her room, and found the others in the common room area.
"Alright, everyone, listen up! We need to explain the rules really quickly. What will happen is each of you will pull an emotion from this hat, except for Todoroki. On the day you teach him to show that emotion, you are to show up at the tree we were under earlier at 11 AM. Todoroki, you are also to be there. How will you know what day you are, you might ask? Well, each slip has a number on it. If you have number one, you will go tomorrow. Number two, two days from now, and so on and so forth. If you are uncomfortable with your emotion, you can ask someone to trade, but you have to ask one of the girls first. Now, make a single file line to get your slips!"
After everyone had gotten their slips, the lineup looked like this:
1. Sadness - Momo
2. Irritation - Ojiro
3. Guilt - Uraraka
4. Happiness - Mina
5. Surprise - Sero
6. Fury - Bakugo
7. Bliss - Jiro
8. Silly - Asui
9. Confused - Kaminari
10. Uncomfortable - Aoyama
11. Trust - Kirishima
12. Brave - Iida
13. Caring - Koda
14. Love - Midoriya
"Are there any objections?" Mina asked.
Midoriya slowly raised his hand. "Um, I, ummmmm, I got l-l-l-love! I just feel a bit uncomfortable with it, but I don't know if that's just the butterflies, would Todoroki even be okay with it? Oh All Might, what am I gonna do?! Is it just me, or is it hot in here? Maybe I should cool down..."
His rant was cut short by a heterochromatic boy staring down at him, who had also placed his hand on Midoriya's shoulder. "Why would you be opposed? It's not weird, at least not to me."
"O-o-o-okay. I'll, um, nevermind! I'll stick with mine!"
"Good, any other objections? No? Great, I believe Momo is up first, remember, 11 AM!" Mina rushed back to her dorm to put away the hat. Before she even got halfway there, she turned around and said; "We should have a sleepover in the common room! Put in some movies, make blanket forts, play games, that sort of stuff."
"Yes, it could be a fun recreational activity!" Iida said, making his weird hand movements.
"Good, see you guys at seven!" She turned around, and continued making her way to her room.
How do you guys like this idea?
