7 a.m.

That's how early the teachers expected you to arrive at UA to take the bus to the camp. Unfortunately, you got dragged on a high-stakes mission last night, your quirk being a vital piece to infiltrate the base of a well-known group of villains that have been causing a lot of trouble lately. The mission forced you to go a full night without any rest and you're now hoping to sleep the whole trip to the camp.

You're the last one in the class to arrive, Ida scolding you for not being at least ten minutes early like everyone else. You only stare at him with a bored expression, waiting for him to be done with the lecture so you can board the bus as soon as possible. But, Mina cheers as she sees you, stealing you from the class rep. and ultimately saving your tired ass.

She smiles at you but then frowns when she notices how tired you are. "What did I tell you about not sleeping!" She shouts, glaring at you with her cheeks puffed out. In your moment of hallucinating, you poke her pink cheek, making her eyes widen in surprise.

"Something about not doing that," You mumble, words barely coherent as you squint and your mind spins. It's too hot.

"Did you even sleep last night?" Bakugo grunts, Kirishima leaning on his shoulder as the blond glares at you with crossed arms.

"You know the answer to that."

Bakugo rolls his eyes, you turning to Mina to ask her about your seating pack. "Are we still going to sit together?" You ask, tugging on her sleeve. She smiles shyly at you, rubbing the back of her neck as your mood worsens as you realize she's leaving you to sit with someone else.

"Sorry, I promised Hagakure I would sit with her," Mina tells you and points to the invisible girl talking to Ojiro.

You huff but nod along, "It's fine, I'll go find someone else."

But you don't. You lean against the wall in the back of the group as you wait to get on the bus. You plan to sit in an open seat and hope whoever your seatmate is will let you sleep the whole ride. Mineta has to sit in the front with Aizawa per the girls' requests so there will be at least one open seat for you in the back.

Suddenly, some blond guy from Class 1-B struts over to your class, making fun of the kids who failed the exam. You frown, knowing most of those kids are your friends. You start to take a step forward when suddenly, two arms lift you by your underarms from behind. You are lifted into the air so your feet can't reach the ground. You growl, trying to turn around to see who it is when a flash of red and white catches your attention.

Todoroki sets you down, allowing you to turn to him with a grumpy pout, which looks a lot cuter than you want since you're sleep-deprived and can't put in the full effort. He gives you one of his small nods as greeting. "You look exhausted," He states bluntly, taking in your dark eye bags and slumped posture.

"Mission," You reply, rubbing your teary eyes with your fist.

A small hum of acknowledgment comes from the dual-haired boy as he asks for any details you can share about the mission. Ever since Todoroki found out about you being Phantom, he constantly checks in with you to make sure you don't get hurt. Needless to say, he wasn't happy when you told him about getting shredded by that sword guy.

You explain as much as you can about the villains you apprehended, their base, and the fight that went down. He nods along, seeming interested in your story.

"I know you're going to want to sleep during the ride. I was planning on doing the same, want to sit together?" Todoroki asks once you finish. You nod, noticing that your classmates are starting to board the bus.

Todoroki leads you to the luggage drop-off before taking you to the line. "Hey (Y/n)!" Mina exclaims, running up to you with the rest of the squad, "Bakugo still needs a seating partner!" The blond glares at you as he grumbles with his hands shoved in his pockets.
