  "Man, that exercise was pretty intense, huh?" You yawned, pulling off your yellow rubber hazmat suit.

  "I'm still baffled by the smoke wings you made, Y/N!! You really learned a lot while you were at Hawks's agency, huh?!" Mina exclaimed, eyes shining as she jumped up and down.

  "Yes, L/N, how did you do that?" Yaoyorozu inquired, curiosity etched on her face. You grinned, placing your arms behind your head.

  "It all started when I was making a sandwich..." You trailed off with your sentence, noticing a small hole in the wall and hearing muffled shouting from the other side. "Hey, guys? Was there always a hole there?"

  The girls turned to the hole, eyes widening. You could hear the shouting grow louder now.

  "Cease at once, Mineta! Peeping is a flagrant crime!"

  "Hey, man, my Little Mineta's already being a flagrant crime, if you know what I mean!!"

  You could hear shouting coming from the hole now, and see an eyeball almost popping out of it.

  "YAOYOROZU'S BOOBS!! ASHIDO'S SEXY SILHOUETTE!! HAGAKURE'S FLOATING PANTIES!! L/N'S VOLUPTUOUS CURVES!! URARAKA'S GORGEOUS BODY, AND WE CAN'T FORGET ASUI'S SURPRISE TATAAAAAAA-"

  Jirou narrowed her eyes, stomping over to the hole and jabbing an earphone jack inside. You could hear a howl of pain from the other side, and more shouting.

  "Gross." You shivered, pulling your shirt closer to your body.

  "How cowardly! Quickly, let's plug it up!"

  "Thanks, Kyouka."

Bakugo glared at the screeching purple gremlin, not really pissed about him talking about the other girls, but about him talking about you. Voluptuous curves? Voluptuous curves? He couldn't wrap his mind around it. Why did everyone seem to be attracted to you? Except for him, of course. He brushed his annoyance off, deciding it was just because you and him were...friends.

"Heya, Katsuki!" You chirped, rushing up to him. It was currently break time, and you were itching to talk to Bakugo again. Bakugo spluttered, cheeks flushing.

"Oi, who said you could call me by my first name?" He growled, glaring at you. You blinked, tilting your head.

"Then can I call you Kit-Kat? Kat? Suki? Kacchan?"

"No!" He yelled, speeding up his pace. You kept up with him, grinning.

"Then I'll call you Katsuki! You call me Y/N, right? So I can call you Katsuki!"

Bakugo growled, frustrated. You were right.

"Fine. But if I catch you calling me any annoying nicknames, you're dead meat."

"Okay, Katsuki!" You laughed, eyes twinkling with amusement. Bakugo stared at you, feeling his heart flutter. What the hell was happening to him? You hummed, staring up at the ceiling as you walked. "I was thinking about something scary today. Wanna know what it was?"

"No." Bakugo said bluntly, making you snort.

"Too bad, I'mma tell you anyway. So, y'know how everyone's so worried about what's up in space, right? Well, we really should be worried about what's in the ocean. There's a whole layer of ocean that we haven't even gone to yet, and it's denser and darker. We can't even go down there, 'cause the pressure would crush even the strongest submarine! Who knows what's down there. Could be anything. Even..."

You leaned towards him, eyes widening. "...mermaids."

Bakugo scoffed, rolling his eyes. "What kind of fucked up version of the Little Mermaid have you been watching?"

"Hey! This is a serious topic!" You laughed, entering the cafeteria. You talked Bakugo's ear off, rambling on about the ocean even as you sat down. Kirishima grinned at you, taking a bite of his food.

"Hey there, L/N! Whatcha talking about?"

Bakugo pinched the bridge of his nose as your eyes lit up, excited to talk about the ocean, when your eyes landed on a familiar bush of purple hair. Your eyes widened and you cupped your hands over your mouth.

"Shinsou!"

Shinsou turned around, staring at you boredly. "What?"

You grinned widely, making a grabbing motion with your hands. "I require my prize from the sports festival. I did beat you, after all."

Shinsou sighed, trudging over to you. Bakugo glared at him as he knelt down beside you, bowing his head.

"Go ahead."

Your eyes lit up like a child's eyes on Christmas morning, and you reached down, entangling your fingers in his soft purple locks. You giggled softly as you played with his hair, stroking it gently. Bakugo gave both of you a deadly stare, feeling like he was about to explode.

"It feels just like I imagined. What's your secret?"

"I use grape shampoo and conditioner." Shinsou mumbled, face slightly reddening. You gasped, eyes sparkling.

"Grape cotton candy!"

"Alright, idiot, that's enough. Eat your food." Bakugo snapped, irritated. You turned your head to him, pouting.

"But I'm not-"

Bakugo gave you a venomous glare, and you sighed, detaching your hands from Shinsou's soft hair.

"Bye, Shinsou. Thanks for the prize."

Shinsou stood up, nodding at you. He eyed Bakugo for a second, before turning and leaving.

"Someone's jealous." Kaminari snickered, making Bakugo whip his head towards him.

"I. Am. Not." He growled, gritting his teeth. Your eyes twinkled with amusement, and you giggled.

'Oh, he's totally jealous that I got to play with Shinsou's hair and he didn't.'
