Tokoyami's POV:

After everyone finished, we all went back to the classroom.
"The rest of this period is free. Do whatever you want, just don't wake me unless it's an emergency."
"Hey Tokoyami!" I turned to see whoever was talking to me.
"Oh hey Shoji!"
"What time did you and Tsuyu get?"
"24-25 minutes. How about you and Uraraka?"
"Wow, you guys got out quick! Uraraka and I got 43:29."
"At least it's not an hour or more unlike Kaminari and Ashido."
"Haha yeah. Can't believe it took them an hour and almost a half to get out."
"I know right." Shoji and I laughed until someone came up to us.

"Hi Shoji-Kun. Hi Tokoyami-Kun."
"Oh hi Tsuyu! Great work on escaping!"
"Ribbit, thanks! I came over here to ask if I can eat lunch with you guys." For some reason, I got excited when she said that.
"Of course you can eat with us! We don't mind, right?"
"Dark Shadow?! What are you doing?"
"What? I stayed quiet the entire time we were in the room! Heck, it even made me fall asleep! So don't be mad because I'm all hyper and stuff."
"Fine." I sighed.

"Well, Dark Shadow did answer your question."
"So I can eat with you guys?" Shoji nodded.
"Oh, thank you!"
"You can always join us anytime."
"Oh okay."

It was now lunch time. I got my food, which is mainly an apple, and headed to the table I usually sit at. When I got there, I saw Shoji and Koda.
*She's probably getting her food.*
*Why are you so worried about her even showing up?* I forgot that Dark Shadow can hear my thoughts. Darn it!
*I'm not that worried. Maybe. Ugh I don't even know!*

"Hey, Tokoyami, you okay?" I snapped out of my thoughts.
"Oh, yeah I'm fine. Sorry to worry you."
"It's okay. I was just concerned because you've been standing there shaking your head. Were you communicating with Dark Shadow?"
"Yeah I was. Again sorry to worry you."
"No need to be sorry."
"Ribbit, hey guys!" I turned around to see Asui.
"O-oh hey there, Tsuyu."
"Sorry that I'm a bit late."
"It's okay, have a seat." She sat next to me while Shoji and Koda sat in front of us.

"If you don't mind me asking, why'd you decide to eat with us?" Asui looked at Shoji and put her index finger on her chin.
"I guess I just wanted some space from the girls."
"But why us? Don't you hang out with Midoriya?"
"I do, but he sits with Ochaco-Chan."
"Ah I see." I bit into my apple.
*Someone jealous??*
*Shut. Up. I'm not.* Dark Shadow giggled.

"Tokoyami-Kun, is that all you eat?" I swallowed the piece I was eating.
"Most of the time yes. Sometimes after training I actually eat some of the school's lunch."
"O-Oh, ribbit. Shouldn't you be eating more?" I shrugged my shoulders.
"I tell him that too. Sometimes he doesn't eat lunch at all."
"Really?!"
"It's not that big of a deal." I bit into my apple again.
"It actually is, well, for me at least." I swallowed the piece I was eating before I spoke.

"It shouldn't, you don't have to worry about me, Tsuyu." I turned to her and looked into her eyes. Her black irises looking back. I gave a quiet gasp and turned back to continue eating. I felt my face start to heat up, what's wrong with me?
*Someone flustered? Hmm??*
*Like I've said before, Shut. Up.*

~Time Skip~

I walked back to the dorms with Asui, Koda, and Shoji. I'm surprised that Asui walked back with us, but at the same time, a bit glad. We walked in and headed to our dorms. I waved goodbye when I reached the second floor, sense it's where my room is. I went into my room and showered. Afterwards, I layed on my bed. My earphones were in and music was playing. A bit later, I heard a faint knock on my door. I removed my earphones to make sure someone knocked. I heard it again. I sighed and got up. I headed to the door and opened it.

"What do you wa- Tsuyu?"
"Ribbit, Tokoyami-Kun!"
"Tsuyu, why are you here?"
"To give you this." She held up a bag.
"Um, thank you? What's this for?"
"It's just food. I don't really know what you like, so I just put what I thought you might eat. Can I come in?" There was silence for a minute. Why is she doing this for me? Was it because I only had an apple for lunch? Why does she care so much?

"Tokoyami-Kun? Are you alright?" I blinked a few times.
"I'm fine, sorry for worrying you. Come in." I moved to let her in.
"Here, take it. If you don't mind, we can eat right now."
