Chapter 27

Author's Note: Just to clarify, since this is an AU, no one will have any characteristics from their quirk. For example, Ashido won't have pink skin.

"This tea is really good Yaomomo!" Ashido complimented, taking another sip from her cup.

The others nodded in agreement.

"Thank you," Yaoyorozu replied, smiling.

Tsu put a finger to her chin, tilting her head to one side. "What have you all been up to lately?" She questioned, starting the conversation.

"The band," Jirou said, shrugging.

"Same, as well as the company I work for in the daytime," Yaoyorozu answered, taking a sip of her tea.

"The renovations for my dance studio have been coming along nicely," Ashido said with a grin.

A dance studio, huh? Jirou thought, staring down at her reflection in the warm cup of tea she held in her hands. She remembered the pinkette saying that she wanted to own a dance studio someday. And now, she'd achieved her goal.

As for her own goals for the future, Jirou didn't have much back then except the thought of writing music or joining a band perhaps. But all of that was tossed aside after the final incident that made her give up. Until recently, that is, when she joined the band.

Uraraka's voice cut through her thoughts. "Oh, nothing much. Just my usual shifts at the cafe," She said in a cheerful tone.

"Any...romantic interests?" Ashido asked, wiggling her eyebrows and leaning forward. Her mischievous stare seemed to bore into everyone's soul.

Out of all things, she just had to bring that up, Jirou grumbled to herself inside her head.

Back in high school, Ashido was famous for her shipping schemes. She was always teasing people and trying to pair them up, so it was no surprise that she would ask a question like that. At the interrogation, the rest of the girls' expressions immediately faltered. 

Even if it was in the slightest, the pinkette could tell something was going on. She grinned in victory. "Aha! Spill the tea, who are they?!" She asked excitedly, begging to know.

Asui answered first. "Well, there's a guy I work with named Tokoyami," She said, "I like him in a more-than-friends way but it's nothing big."

"I-I was actually planning on telling this to you all sometime tonight," Uraraka said next, nervously swallowing a bite of her sugar cookie. "I'm engaged."

Silence...

"WHAT?!"

"When did it happen!"

"Who is it?!"

"W-"

"I'll explain everything!" The brunette said, giggling. The girls quieted down and let her speak. "I met him at the cafe I work at," She began, "He would come in on most afternoons to order a cup of coffee. We started talking and eventually we started dating."

"Aww," Yaoyorozu said, bringing a hand to her heart.

Ashido's left arm shot up. "Question!" She called.

"Yes?" Uraraka replied.

"Can you name your child after me please?"

"Child?!" She asked, her face turning beet red. The brunette quickly waved her arms around in a flustered manner. "Oh n-no I think it's way too soon for that! I just g-got engaged!"

The girls laughed whole-heartedly before Yaoyorozu asked, "Do you have a scheduled date for the wedding?"

"Not yet," Uraraka replied, shaking her head. She smiled brightly, "But I'll let you guys know when I do. You all are definitely invited!"

Ashido's eyes lit up, clasping her hands together happily. "Ooh, can I be maid of honor?!"

"Of course!" The brunette giggled, turning to the others. "Yaomomo, Kyouka, do you two have any love interests?" She asked in curiosity.

Yaoyorozu smiled, setting down her cup of tea on the table in front of her. "I recently started dating a man named Shouto Todoroki."

Jirou raised an eyebrow. "You mean that guy you were with on a business trip?" 

The raven-haired lady nodded.

Ashido looked at her with a smirk. "So..." She began, winking. "Have you two done it yet?" She made an O shape with the fingers on her left hand, shoving her right pointer finger into it.

"No!" Yaoyorozu cried, blushing scarlet. The others laughed at the embarrassed state she was in. "What about you Kyouka? Is there any love interest of yours?" She quickly asked as a diversion, giving her friend a knowing look.

"I-" Jirou began, glancing down at the half-full cup of tea in her hands. "Yeah," She admitted quietly.

"I knew it," Yaoyorozu said with a smile.

"Who?!"

"I wanna know!"

"Yeah, who is it?"

"Denki Kaminari, a friend and bandmate of mine," Jirou answered. "I know I have feelings for him, but...there are certain things I still need to figure out." 

"Ooh, what's he like?" Uraraka asked.

She sighed. "A complete and utter idiot, but he's absolutely adorable."

"Aww!" Ashido squealed.

Yaoyorozu pulled her phone out of her pocket, tapping the screen a few times before holding it up so everyone could see. It was a picture of Kaminari sleeping on Jirou's shoulder, from the day the band had taken a trip to the pumpkin patch.

"You took that photo without my permission!" Jirou groaned accusingly, burying her reddening face in her hand.

"Aww, so cute!" Uraraka squealed.

"You two look perfect for each other," Asui noted with a smile.

"I know right!" Ashido gushed happily, "It's a match made in heaven! I fully approve!"

Yaoyorozu looked like a mother, smiling proudly. "I apologize for taking it without your permission Kyouka, I just couldn't resist."

"Apology accepted," Jirou grumbled, crossing her arms. "Listen, you guys can't tell anyone about this ok? It's...kind of against the rules."

"Rules?" Uraraka asked, frowning.

Ashido had the same reaction. "Wait, what rules?"

"The rules you agree on when joining our band," Yaoyorozu explained as she set her phone face-down on the table in front of her. "One of them states something along the lines of 'no catching feelings for another member of the band'."

"Oh."

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with us," Asui said reassuringly, giving Jirou a pat on the shoulder with a genuine smile.

The others nodded.

"Thank you all," Jirou said gratefully, finishing the last few sips of her tea. "It's nothing big, the feelings will probably pass," She said with a shrug.

But a little voice echoed inside her head,

or will they?
