My Hero Academia: Overcoming Fear

The Girl's Brunch

Hikari

I went downstairs to the common's area and saw the girls sitting on the couches, waiting for me. They all stood up when they saw me and we left the building. 

"Where are we going to eat?" Tsuyu asked us, placing a finger on her chin.

"Hm, there's a very good restaurant not far from here that Todoroki and I like," Momo said. 

"Great, we should go there!" Mina exclaimed, pumping her fist in the air. 

"I can pay for everyone, the restaurant is quite expensive..." Momo said.

I was about to say that she didn't need to, but the other girls said thank you and skipped along happily. 

I rolled my eyes a little and walked next to Mina, who surprising didn't run ahead with everyone else. 

"Why were you in Bakugo's room this morning?" She asked, glancing over at me.

"We went outside last night and then we went up to his room because Bakugo didn't want to sleep around everyone else," I lied, hoping she believed me. 

Suddenly she reached out and pulled the collar of my jacket down. Her eyes widened and a huge grin spread across her face.

I quickly covered her mouth with my hand, panic rising in me. "Mina, you can't tell anyone, you hear? Bakugo would literally kill you then me. I promised him I would cover them up."

"Okay, okay, no telling, I got it," she said, her eyes sparkling. "But seriously, you guys made out? What was it like?"

I felt my face get hot. "Mina..."

"Please?" She pleaded, pouting. "I swear I won't tell anyone. I just wanna know what it was like."

I tilted my head a little, thinking. "Well, uh, it felt wrong but at the same time it felt really good, you know?"

She nodded, her eyes practically begging me to tell her more.

"And... believe it or not, Bakugo's a real teaser," I said slowly.

She frowned a little. "He doesn't really seem like the type, but whatever. Did you like it?"

"Well, yeah, I guess," I said, the blush returning to my cheeks. "I mean, it felt nice, ya know?"

"Oh, look, everyone, this is it!" Momo's voice disrupted our conversation.

Mina smiled at me and made a fake zipper motion over her lips. "My lips are sealed," she promised. "No one will hear a peep out of me about it!"

I sighed in relief. "Thanks, Mina."

We walked inside with everyone else and a boy met us at the front. He was about our age, with black hair and brown eyes. He smiled when he saw us, showing a pair of perfect teeth. 

"Hello, ladies!" He said, starting to get out menus. "How may I help you?"

"A booth for 7, preferably in the back," Momo said politely. 

"Coming right up!" He said, grabbing 7 menus and gesturing to us. "Follow me, please."

We followed him to the back of the restaurant to a booth in the corner, where we all sat down. I was sitting at the end next to Kyoka.

"What are you feeling today?" I asked quietly as everyone took their seats.

"I'm feeling more feminine today, so she/her is fine," she said, smiling and looking at me. "I love how you always make time to ask me that."
