Fandom These Shining Stories we (share) | A MHA RP

Mela had to know keeping the secret hadn't been easy for him, so while she was quite embarrassed, she was sympathetic for the blond who probably had to be careful about where he changed forms and such. She wasn't sure if she could deal with such a life, it had be difficult after everything that had happened to him. It was unfair Toshinori had to deal with so much on his own all for the good of the world. It had to be lonely at times. She shook her head, "Noo, I understand why you didn't tell me. And I haven't told Ruka either!" No no, his secret was safe with her. She wouldn't tell anyone, even if they gave her all the chocolate in the world.

Blushing a bit, she listened to him, "Aw well I was very happy to meet you as well, Toshinori-kun." She assured him. She was sure when he was Toshinori, he was overlooked. He then took her hand and tried to offer his support, his words made her heart ache. Gosh, she didn't know what to say to that. Her face had a faint tinge of red as she felt him quickly release her hand. Her life? Well she broke up with her soulmate because she had feelings for this sweet man and it was so complicated and she had no idea how to even sort through it. But Toshinori had enough to deal with, she wasn't sure if she could share her burden him. She trusted him of course, but she was the one who wanted to help him.

"Oh!" She quickly grabbed his hand. She knew better than to ask if he was okay. Without even thinking, she moved his hand to her mouth and sucked on where the coffee hit him. She then stopped. "Ahhh well I read a medical journal explaining um why people put their fingers in their mouth if they hurt them and apparently it's like a countermeasure for the nerves in your body. So the more signals that are being activated um the less painful it is." She explained sheepishly. "But cold water should help too." She quickly got up and went to get a paper towel, running it under cold water before she sat back down and wrapped his hand up. It didn't look too bad, probably not even a first degree burn, but she knew it had to hurt. She baked and burnt herself too many times to count. "You should be more careful." She frowned as she leaned closer to study his face. "You're not getting sick again are you? I may have to bust out my nurse's outfit." She joked. She pushed her forehead against his. "You are a little warm...my poor Toshinori-kun~" Should she drag him to bed?

It was a relief to get rid of Yuki-san. Mostly because it meant Ruka was alone and ready to be saved. He wasn't sure what Yuki's intentions were. Was he trying to get more information out of Ruka for their upcoming rematch? Or what? Surely Yuki wouldn't hit on someone else's girl. Sure, Ruka wasn't too fond of just blurting her relationship status in conversation, well neither was Shoto, but it was obvious Ruka and Shoto were together so what could Yuki want? It had to be academic related and he was sure Yuki had left with no hints on how to beat Ruka. Yuki had no idea the kind of force that flowed through Ruka's veins and that she was hard to beat when she put her whole soul into the fight.

He thought back to their own fights together and how different they had played out. A small smirk danced across his lips as he remembered them rolling around on top of each other, teasing whispers and touches. No, Shoto. Stop it. Once ready to go, he nodded. "Good." Because it was meant to be a date. Plus, Shoto saw no reason why he couldn't spoil Ruka. Did he need a reason? He could give some if needed heh. "You've been such a good friend to Mela-san and you've been very welcoming of our new mentees, I thought why not treat you a little?" He smiled as he put an arm around her, walking back towards the busier part of town where the shops and malls were located.

Finding a cute mall with a shop that sold scarves, hats, gloves and other outerwear, Shoto helped look around for something for Ruka. While still summer, it was beginning to come to a close. He tried on hats with Ruka and laughed together, snapping a few pictures. They then went onto another shop that sold school supplies. After their midterms, they needed some new things heh. After shopping and buying some things, Shoto decided he should take Ruka to an early dinner. He insisted. Even though they had on their school uniforms, he didn't mind so much. Lacing their fingers together, he led them to a sushi restaurant and sat down with her, holding her hand across the booth they sat in. "So I found two possible hotels we could check into this weekend." He began to say. "One is near the forest and another is by a large lake." He explained. "We could hike and have a picnic at either one or enjoy the spa together perhaps? When you beat Yuki-san, you'll need a massage. I could give you one." He offered with a smirk. "Unless you need one already?" Heh, behave Shoto.

As if the day of the week mattered when it came to drinking and taking it easy. Back home, she enjoyed a drink after work. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with dragging a few boys back to her place either. Not always at the same time of course. But Ayumi liked to have fun. No reason to be shy about it. She figured someone like Aizawa needed a bit more fun in their life. She couldn't imagine what he and Mela did for fun but she had a feeling it had to do with that scarf of his and somehow it bothered her. Yeah, she really didn't buy into the whole soulmate thing because to her, Aizawa and Mela weren't meant to be romantically involved. At least not long term. No way. Perhaps Aizawa needed Mela to see he could fall for someone and Mela needed to see guys weren't so bad.

Still, Ayumi had to hope Aizawa and Mela didn't just shut down the idea of having anyone else take up space in their heart. While Ayumi hadn't really been in love, she knew what it was and she knew it when she saw it. She listened as Aizawa said he may not have a type. No? What a shame but it meant he was open minded. She decided for her own spooky birthday bash in a few months, that she would have to dress up as a cat. Get some ears, a tail. Maybe some whiskers? She would kill to see the look on Aizawa's face! But she wasn't trying to kinkshame the man either, just trying to see if being in cat ears would make her a bit more appetizing er appealing. Heh. "Nooope~ No boyfriend nor girlfriend."

Incidentally she didn't need too many labels in her life. Taken or single, that was about it. Maybe exclusive would be needed at some point but Ayumi's relationships never lasted more than a few months of fun. "Aha Hizashi-san isn't my type, I don't discriminate. If I like you, I like you. Hizashi was somewhat of a wild choice but I would have had fun with that boy and given him some unforgettable memories." She laughed evilly. "All Might? No way! I may not discriminate but macho guys, not much for me." Though working at UA, she knew of his secret, she still wasn't interested. Plus she was sure he was better suited to Miss Sunshine and Butterflies. "All Might couldn't handle me." She said, almost like she was proud of that. Oh and her cat costume would need a collar! Ayumi was making a mental list already. She drank a bit more, "What would you say if Hizashi and I were secretly together?" She wondered aloud. She doubted he cared or would even believe her though. Maybe she'd have to prove her lie by giving that blond guy a kiss in front of Shota? "You'd be invited to our wedding of course~"

- - -

Ah right. His match. He had somehow forgotten about that so easily around Namie heh. Denki made a face. "Yeah we could." He just hoped he'd be able to move his legs after dealing with the horny guy heh. But if Namie was there and able to heal the minor scrapes and injuries, he knew he'd be okay. He still didn't want her pushing herself to the point of passing out or being unable to move though. He hated seeing her like that. It cracked his poor heart open. He was hoping the dog cafe was still around. In all honesty, Denki hadn't checked it out before suggesting it but somehow the cafes in town seemed to do pretty well for themselves.

Upon hearing how open Namie was about Peachy, he found himself delighted. He was so glad she was open to being Peachy's surrogate mother. It meant a lot that she was so kind and sweet. And he had to wonder if Peachy ever got hurt, god forbid, if Namie could heal up the little fuzzboy. "Thank you so much." He said, putting his hands together in front of him, bowing his head in hands. When she mentioned she could just take them both in, a series of large bolts erupted from his head and ears. He jumped slightly and laughed. "You better be careful or I'll come knocking one of these days!" Denki grinned to her.

Yes, he could use a vacation from UA. He went to school and when it was over, he was still at school! Come on! Denki was amazed by her open heart and he hoped someday she'd find someone to fill her heart with their own love. Or something. Denki finished his drink and offered her his hand so they could walk around the park a bit. "You still should come over and workout with me some more. Eijiro doesn't smell as nice as you do." He smiled. It really was nice having her around. It was a shame he couldn't hide her and Peachy in his dorm but he was sure someone would spill the beans about a girl being on the boys floor, let alone hiding somewhere in his room. He blushed a bit and led them across the street so they could check out the candy store he had been eyeing. "After a long day, you deserve something sweet." He said as they entered the brightly colored store. "Let's buy enough candy to make ourselves sick and then miss school!" He laughed, giving her a thumbs up. "Oh by the way I wanted to ask, why lollipops? Is that cause of doctors handing them out to patients?" He asked Namie, he may have just answered his own question heh.

AiAi AiAi
 
In his flustered state, Toshinori just messed up. Or did he? His eyes were watering slightly from the sudden sting but then it soon widened as Mela took action all of a sudden. He can only watch as Mela took his hand in her smaller pair before she suddenly placed his burnt hand into her mouth...sucking on it!? His entire face turned red as he can only gape at her in silent shock. W-W-W-What was she doing!? Feeling her cool yet hot tongue brushing against his hand made him let out a sound as he flinched slightly. It felt...strangely good. No...this was not good. "M-Mela-chan?" He finally croaked out after gaining control of his voice once more. He wasn't sure what other sounds he may make and so he can only look over at Mela with wide blue hues and a blushing face. A-Ah this was too much for his poor heart.

As Mela ran off to grab him a wet towel, Toshinori placed his uninjured hand against his chest, trying to still his racing heart. A-Ah stop, please. Stop hammering so loudly against his ribcage like this, she'd probably hear how fast it was beating at this pace. His face turned a darker shade of red when her face came close to his. A-Ah, so close...he could nearly feel her breathing from here. Ah no! He was not being a pervert! Bad Toshinori. At her joke of wearing a nurse outfit, Toshinori nearly passed out at that as he hanged on to his remaining sanity. Her forehead felt cool against his. Did he actually have a fever? Nah, he knew better than that...but what can he do? "A-ah I'm not sick Mela-chan...I-I'm fine...really." If she got any closer, he honestly didn't know what he might do. Because right now, all he wanted to do was hold her close...and maybe kiss her too. Urgh. Bad Toshinori. Behave.

Looking into her eyes, Toshinori spoke up, "...it feels nice..." she was oddly warm or maybe just being near her was making him so nervous that he was heating up himself? Ah, stop it Toshinori....behave. Averting his gaze, he spoke up, "um so d-did you want to watch a movie or something? We don't have to go out if you don't want to...we can just watch it on my tv...?" He looked over at Mela. Ah, why did the idea of snuggling with her come to mind? It sounded so nice and no no no! Bad Toshinori! He gave her a smile, trying to push the images out of his mind, "so? What would you like to do?" He was very tempted to just ask her, movies or cuddles? But really, how can he say that to her, right?

- - -

Shopping with Shoto was always fun. Ruka loved it whenever they would go around stores looking about and trying new things on. She giggled as she placed a rather fuzzy hat on Shoto. The two took pictures, plenty of pictures. She recalled hearing how boyfriend's don't really like taking pictures and the like, yet she found that her boyfriend loved taking pictures with her. She was glad she didn't have to force him to or anything like that. Walking around the stores, Ruka bought a few sweaters and a hat, but upon seeing the scarves an idea came to mind. She may need help from Yukito for this...but hopefully she can manage this on her own. But she can't let Shoto see what she was planning so she'll have to buy the yarns some other time. Hehe.

Upon Shoto's insistence, the two were soon seated inside a sushi restaurant. Ruka smiled over at Shoto, her hand lightly squeezing his as she stared over at him. Ah, she really was lucky. How did she land such a loving and sweet boyfriend!? She felt her heart warm up as she noticed the loving look in his gaze. At the mention of the hotel and their little outing, Ruka's eyes shined in excitement. Ah, both sounded really fun. But...since they've been talking about it before, "how about the forest?" It'll give them some more privacy too hehe. She nodded her head, "a hike and spa both sound really good. A massage huh? That sounds gre-a-ah Shoto!" Ruka let out a whine as she blushed as she realized what he said at the end. She was too caught up in their little trip that she didn't quite catch his invitation.

Blushing slightly, Ruka mumbled out as she squeezed his hand a bit tighter, "...right now sounds good to me...a-and one later!" She added quickly though realizing that they still have yet to eat, Ruka lifted a finger as she placed it against Shoto's lips, "but, not until after dinner." She gave him a soft smile before turning to see the food arriving. Ah, sushi! Yes! As she fed Shoto a piece of sushi, Ruka asked him, "so how did training go with Honda-san?" She recalled Yuki's words and wondered if the girl gave off any clues of liking Yuki as well? "Did she mention Yuki-san at all?" Taking a sip of her tea, Ruka gave Shoto a sly smirk as she continued, "if you're sore from practice, I can help relieve it~?" She winked playfully over at him before resuming to eat her meal.

Sipping on the sake, Shota looked rather amused as Ayumi was quick to tell him that no, she didn't have a boyfriend. Darn...he was hoping that whoever was her lover can just take her away so she won't go nagging him. Though that wasn't what was amusing him. No no, it was what she said next about her type. He was hoping to just push her onto All Might or something, but that didn't seem to be the case. Macho ain't her thing huh? Feeling warmer thanks to the alcohol now running through his system, Shota answered her teasing question, "please don't." He wouldn't want to go to their wedding. Heck, he'd probably get dragged into being a groomsman for Hizashi, but honestly, Shota was not looking forward to that. Hizashi's wedding...he can imagine it getting a bit too loud.

Sighing, Shota leaned back in the couch as he glanced over at Ayumi. Why were all woman like this? Somehow, the ones he interacted with were just way too forward and a tease. Just like...ah...Mela. Shota became silent as he realized all his thoughts went back to her lately. Was he really comparing Ayumi to Mela just now? No, that was wrong. Plus...he can imagine Ayumi strangling him if she found out what he was thinking. Sighing, Shota reached forward to have another cup of sake. What was he doing here anyway? What was he doing? Shota held back a sigh as he drank the cool yet warm liquid. Feeling a soft rub against his leg, Shota glanced down to see it was Noza. Picking the black fluff up, Shota couldn't help but ask, "since when did you have a cat anyway?" More like why? Did Mi really tempt her into buying a cat or something like that?

- - -

Namie could feel her cheeks heating up. If she was like Denki, she'd be throwing out volts right about now. A-Ah, she was sort of flirting but also being serious and there he goes again, taking her offer just like that. "I-I wouldn't mind if you do...come over sometimes...b-but bring Peachy with you! I'm sure he'll want to come too...?" Ah...did she just invite him to come sleep over at her place whenever he wanted!? Thankfully, Denki suggested going to the candy store, something which she jumped aboard on rather quickly. As they headed over to the store, Namie's eyes shined slightly at the number of sweets laid out in front of them, "oh wow~! They all look so good!"

As she was looking over what to get, she looked back at Denki when he spoke up. Huh? Blinking a few times, she rubbed the back of her head as she told him honestly, "ah, well...its because everyone likes a lollipop right?... I carry some in case...if I see someone sad or hurt, I give one to them in hopes of cheering them up! But more importantly...I'll be real honest here..." leaning up she whispered into his ear, "its because I like lollipops." Pulling back she gave him a grin. Though he wasn't wrong about the whole doctor thing. Maybe it was because she always saw her parents handing it out to patients when younger. When she asked them why a lollipop, her dad replied to her simply, "because sometimes people don't like sour candies or too sweet candies like chocolate..but everyone likes a little bit of a lollipop, don't you think so Namie?" Those words still rang true to her today. But! She liked gummies too hehe. Grabbing a bag to fill it up with candies, Namie asked Denki, "what are you going to get? I'm probably going to fill mine up with gummies hehe..and lollipops." Her eyes shined as she looked up at him.

Genkai Genkai
 
If only she knew she was torturing poor Toshinori, she probably would have stopped. Or laughed and continued eheh. He said he wasn't sick so she had to take his word. For a moment, she thought back to Shota and nursing him back to health after he got sick because of her. And then the same thing happened to poor Toshinori too. She blinked as he said it felt nice. Oh crap, she was too close again wasn't she?! She quickly sat back, telling herself she couldn't just invade people's personal space like she did with Ruka. "S-sorry." She said quietly, blushing before she glanced off. Looking back to him, she figured staying in would work for her. She was used to that with Shota, just staying in and curling up together but this wasn't that. Surely not heh. "We can stay in and watch something." Mela replied as she settled back on the couch as they found something on tv to watch. Sitting back with the blond, Mela leaned slightly against him but told herself not to get too close, as it seemed to bother Toshinori. Once the movie was over, Mela thanked Toshinori for his hospitality and looked his hand over before she headed home, hoping Ruka made dinner. It seemed like Ruka was busy, so Mela was fine with making some quick rice and vegetables for herself.

- Another day, another Wednesday -

The next morning, Mela got up and quickly got ready for class, almost oversleeping. She and Ruka headed to UA and morning classes progressed as usual. Today she didn't have the strength to look at Aizawa, at least not until he turned to leave the classroom. When lunch rolled around, she thought about seeing if Toshinori was okay after yesterday but she decided against it. She almost headed off to Shota's office before she stopped herself and went off to go eat with the others in the cafeteria. She settled in with Tenya, Kagura, Momiji and Izuku among others and soon it was time for training. Once Ayumi-sensei checked in with everyone, they were all free to get back to work. Mela headed off with Momiji, still thinking about yesterday. Had she crossed any lines? No, right? Why did she have to get so weird around Toshinori? She gave Momiji a smile as they began to stretch. "You wanted to hang out after school today?" She asked him, not sure what he had in mind. "Did you want to do anything or see anything?" She fell back into a handstand, stretching her back and abs. Otherwise, she was fine just going home and doing some homework.

- - -

The forest sounded good to him. He was sure the views would be great and they could enjoy themselves and get out of the city for a bit. He knew it would be a good little getaway for them. It wasn't much but he hoped it would give them some time to forget about the drama around them. He found it terribly cute that she didn't catch onto what he was saying until the end. It was sweet that her mind didn't directly go a certain place with him. He wanted to be loved for his heart, not just his body and he felt the same way about the lovely lady in front of him. But still, he couldn't help but profess how much he enjoyed touching her and making her feel good. Shoto smiled and squeezed her hand back. "Yes later tonight." And later in the week. He opened his mouth and chewed, thinking about her question. "Honda-san has spoken highly of him. Why do you ask?" He looked to Ruka, wondering what was on her mind. "Oh you'd like to give me a massage too?" He smirked as they ate "I couldn't say no to that." Once he paid, they went to her place for a nice intimate couples massage, thankfully with no interruptions.

- More training today -

After such a good night with his girlfriend, Shoto headed into class feeling quite invigorated. He leaned over and kissed Ruka good morning as Aizawa walked in, went over things quite briefly as there wasn't much to say except make sure everyone was accounted for. Shoto thought back to Ruka mentioning whether or not Honda mentioned Yuki. Ah more drama and complications. But he'd try to help with whatever was going on, if it meant Yuki was off with her and not Ruka. Come lunch, he and Ruka ate together, talking about their planned trip this weekend. Once it was time to go change into their uniforms and start training, Shoto kissed Ruka one last time before he rejoined Tohru and headed off to train. Shoto had been asked to see how Honda-san felt about Yuki-san. He rubbed his neck a little, getting the feeling like he was Yuki's pawn or something. Urgh. As he and Tohru stretched, he began to ask her about the types of guys she liked and if she had done much dating but this kind of talk was pretty uncomfortable for Todoroki and he hoped Ruka would reward him for this kind of conversation he was having. Tohru seemed none the wiser as she spoke freely to him but wound up getting rather tongue tied when it came to possible crushes. Hm.

- - -

Ayumi noticed how quiet Aizawa got. That couldn't be good. He had to be plotting something, daydreaming about doing things to her, or other things to Mela. No matter what, Aizawa in his head was not a good place for him. She took another drink and filled herself up. It was nice being able to drink together in her place. It was a lot cheaper than the dive bars she dragged him to too. Plus a part of her wanted him to see she was pretty normal, underneath it all. She just loved playing pretend a bit too much. Nothing wrong there right? THankfully her arcane literature was hidden in her room and all summoning pentagrams were wiped clean heh. "I have a cat because I wanted some company." She huffed. No way would she say it was because of him. He'd laugh at her and probably throw Nazo out the window. Still, she did want a cat and Aizawa liking them made the choice all the more obvious. She was sure he'd say a cat was the only company that would want her so she added, "I mean you probably felt the same way with Mi-chan." She added before she decided it was time to fly Aizawa home. She could tell he wasn't as talkative anymore, the spell had run dry so she took him back to his place and flew back home.

- Is it too early to start drinking again? -

Come morning, Ayumi was back at UA, trucking along through her essays. She should be done by tomorrow which was great. She then went off to teach her respective classes around the school, returning for lunch and mostly chatted with Hizashi about Aizawa in one of the less occupied lounges. Ayumi was still worried about him and knew even though the blond DJ wasn't around much, he had to be worried for Shota too. Ayuimi wished there was something she could do but maybe time was all he needed. Ayumi did question if her presence was helpful to Aizawa's recovery though. She didn't want to hold him back but she did quite enjoy his company, even if it wasn't mutual. One lunch ended and her last class was finished, she returned to the main lounge to get back to grading. Ayumi was sure Aizawa had noticed her tailing him some nights on his patrols. But she was rather nocturnal and her own patrols were flexible. Still, she was a bit tired come the afternoon and found herself sleeping at her desk as she dreams of witchy things.

- - -

Yuki had rejoined his companions after parting ways with Ruka and Shoto. Yuki wasn't sure if Ruka would be able to help him or not but he saw how close she was with her boyfriend and it seemed like a solid relationship. He and Todoroki had some things in common so it tod Yuki that he too, could find someone. He spent the rest of the afternoon helping the others with their school work since they were struggling with some of it. Come nightfall, the boy called back to check in with Shigure and see how the main house was. He was still unsure about Akito and his controlling grip on the family but Yuki enjoyed his freedom, even if was short lived in Musutafu. He had dinner with the others who lived on campus in the dorms and soon he retired to his own room. He passed the time thinking about Honda-san and how long they had known one another. It was a lot more than just a few months. Maybe he had missed his window to do something? No, he couldn't think like that. Tomorrow he would try to see if Ruka had any thoughts and maybe even Shoto.

- The weekend is so close yet so far -

Waking up to do some yoga, Yuki thought about his outing with Ruka yesterday afternoon. Before Todoroki appeared, it was quite nice. He had to wonder if that's how things would be if, er when he and Honda-san went out. Yuki knew she liked Kyo and he wasn't sure where he stood exactly. He was sure asking Tohru himself would only frighten and confuse her. He got to class and smiled to Ruka before the lectures began from various incoming pro heroes. At lunch, he ate with Uede and the others and soon it was time to train. He and Ruka headed for their usual room. "I hope you and Todoroki-san had a good night." He commented, though his tone was sincere and no taunt or malice was behind it. Once inside, he began to stretch his arms and his legs, wondering if they should still refrain from using their quirks or not. He looked to the girl with bright hair, "Would you like to stick to close combat again or would you like to try adding a bit of our quirks?" They did have two more days of training so he didn't feel rushed. But either way, he was enjoying his partnership with Kurotsuki. Whether or not she could help hi with Honda-san, he wasn't sure but he was glad he could at least get it off his chest if anything.

- - -

Was it really okay if he went over to her house? Er with Peachy too? Would Peachy like that? He thought about it some more, unable to ignore the buzzing in his chest. It tickled. He listened to her explanation and when she leaned in close, he couldn't help but laugh. Aha! He patted her head lightly. She was so cute! "I'm gonna get pop rocks, skittles and bubble gum. Oh and maybe sour gummy worms." He added. He really couldn't decide. Denki paid for them both and they headed back to her place. They played some games before he took the bus back to UA for the night. He had joked about staying but it was quite a trek to get back to school the next morning. Plus they were missing Peachy heh. Denki met up with Eijiro who was eager to hear how his afternoon with Namie went. Denki showed him the candy and mentioned how they may do some kind of BBQ thing this weekend, maybe sneak into the school pool maybe after rematches or on Sunday. Eijiro and the guys were eager for that, Mineta in particular as he often thought fondly of the beach trip a few months ago.

- Good luck, Namie-chan! -

The next morning, Denki woke up and cuddled with his boy Peachy before he crawled out of bed. The boy brushed his hair, teeth and got into his uniform. He ate some candy from yesterday, though not much remained, and headed out to eat with the others. Denki was still hatching a plan with Eijiro about the party as he was sure if Todoroki or Iida caught wind, they'd cite the school rules about it being against the rules or something. Denki headed into class and gave Ruka a thumbs up as well as sneaking a good morning and good luck text to Namie. He took notes but mostly thought about Namie and how hard she was working this week. When lunch came around, he gave her another call. It was brief but it was enough to give the pair a positive boost. Denki headed off to change and overheard Haru yelling about something. Ah so his partner was Black Haru today? Great. He headed off, or was dragged off, to the training room. Somehow this felt like abuse and yet All Might nor Ayumi-sensei were doing anything to stop the madness. Denki got to the room and mostly kept to himself, his fragile mind not wanting to listen to the things Black Haru was going on about but when Namie was mentioned, that got Denki's attention.

AiAi AiAi
 
In the end, they decided on watching a movie at his place. He was very self-conscious and aware of how close Mela was. When she leaned against him, he nearly had a heart attack. A-ah so close! He wished he can just wrap his arms around her and hold her close...but that wasn't what friends do, right? Ah, how he wished there was more between them. He barely focused on the movie as he rather stare at Mela, discreetly of course. The time spent with Mela was precious to Toshinori as he treasured every single moment with her. When it was time for her to go, he hid the sad look on his face as he cheerfully waved at her and was insistent on walking her home, but she refused. Ah, well next time then! Watching her walk home, Toshinori let out a sigh. He really needed to get his act together, he can't be a fumbling mess around her all the time. She'll get the wrong idea!

- Another day filled with flowers? -

As he arrived to work in the morning, Toshinori got dressed in his janitor outfit for the day. He was planning on planting some new plants so it can grow through the winter and sprout once spring comes by again. Though he also got some winter plants that he was hoping will grow by the time it starts to snow. After caring for the other plants, Toshinori got to work on the new ones. He was hoping to see Mela during lunchtime, but it seemed like she was busy with the exchange students. Once lunch was over with, All Might got ready to check in on class 3-A and see how everyone was faring. He was questioned by one of the exchange students before training. He wondered what the little speedy boy wanted with him but it was simply to ask a few questions and that was about it. Smiling, All Might went off on seeing how everyone is doing.

- - -

Tuesday was boring for Momiji as he was stuck mainly with the others in the dorm rooms just playing games and hanging out. He wondered what happened with Yuki and the other two, but he'll just have to wait and see. It seemed like Tohru didn't see anything wrong with it or maybe she just didn't really understand, so Momiji won't press the topic much further. He had a lot of meddling to do, but it was all fun so he didn't mind one bit. Hehe. When Wednesday came around, Momiji eagerly greeted Mela and had lunch with her and the others. Before the afternoon training, Momiji caught sight of All Might and asked him if he had any plans after school. The pro-hero thought he was asking questions about other things, but Momiji just wanted to know what the hero was doing. Smiling, he ran to the training room where he began his training session with Mela.

Momiji let out a whine as he laid back on the floor, "ahhh I'm tired! Can we take a break please~?" he tugged on her hand and brought her down next to him. Laying on his side to face Mela, he gave her a grin as he asked her, "so what did you do yesterday without me~?" Oh, how he loved teasing others and seeing them get flustered. When she asked him about hanging out this afternoon, his smile widened, "oh, I would love that~! I know just what I wanna do. Hehe" Yes, he knew exactly what he wanted to do. Heh. Watching her stretch, Momiji told her, "I wanna go everywheeeree~!" Not really, but he just wanted her to 'bump' into a certain someone. Ehe. Standing up finally, Momiji asked her, "are we still going to do hand to hand...or did you want to see if you can keep up with me?" He gave her a wink as he got ready to run around the room.

- Another day of surprises! -

The morning went by rather peacefully and to make up for not being able to make dinner for Mela since Ruka was a bit busy helping her boyfriend relieve his aching muscles, ehe, she made Mela a large bento in return. She was glad to see Mela eating again and was hoping that Momiji was a good influence on Mela right now. She was still tempted to ask Tohru to help Mela cheer up with her quirk, but Ruka didn't want to force anything on Mela, plus she knew her friend was strong. Mela will be able to push through it all. After having a nice lunch with Shoto, Ruka asked him to get some more info on Tohru and if she had any crushes. She knew it was a strange favor to ask, but Ruka promised a very rewarding treat for him if he did so as she asked. Oh yes, Ruka will shower her King with plenty of love hehe. As Ruka met up with Yuki after getting changed into her gym uniform, she looked over at him as she finished tying her hair up. Her slightly red face told Yuki she had a nice time with Shoto yesterday for sure. At the mention of quirks, she told him, "hm? Oh, let's use our quirks today?" She grinned over at him, feeling a lot more confident of facing him and his quirk.

As they began to lightly spar with their quirks, Ruka found it a bit annoying that he can easily push her flames out of reach, but whenever he did so her flames would go out of control. It was hard enough to control it herself, so another person meddling would only cause her flames to act out violently. At one point, the flames nearly hit Yuki and Ruka ran forward, guarding Yuki with her body as she pushed him out of the way. Sighing, she glanced down at her arm which was slowly turning pink. Just because it's her own flames doesn't mean it won't bite her either. Smiling, she told him, "let's take a quick break?" Sitting next to Yuki, Ruka spoke up, "remember my question about soulmates yesterday?...well, I don't really go around saying this, but I honestly didn't believe in such a thing. I thought it was pointless...I still think it doesn't amount to much....but ironically Shoto is my soulmate." Ruka laughed lightly as she told Yuki, "but I only found this out after I began to date him....so you can say soulmates really don't matter much. Or thats how I believe it to be."

- - -

Shota thought about it. Well....guess animals were good companions, but he was slightly worried about Noza. What if she tried to 'cast' a spell on the poor thing? He felt sympathetic to the animal, but he won't admit to that. When she mentioned Mi, Shota blinked a few times. He frowned slightly as he told her, " as I said before, she chose to just live in my house." Like he had any choice in that and he clearly didn't have the heart to kick the cat out....plus he liked cats. That was just the plus. Ahem. After spending a bit more time with Ayumi, he found himself being dropped off at his place. This felt strange...the girl dropping the guy off. Oh well, might as well use that flying quirk to use he supposed. He nodded his head in thanks before heading inside. Ah, it felt somehow...cold in here. But with Mi's presence, it immediately warmed up. Feeding Mi, Shota admitted...that yes he did want some company and Mi was perfect. At least Mi can't go screaming around like Hizashi.

- Wednesday...ah what a bother -

Work has become a tedious routine for Shota. It has been like that recently as he didn't really have much to look forward to. Or maybe it was because he had to see Mela every morning that it was so hard for him? No, he can't just let Mela stop him from doing his work. Plus he chose this job for a reason, as much as it teaching really didn't seem to fit his personality at all. Heading to the class, Shota greeted everyone, doing his best to keep his composure though today, just today he glanced over at Mela. It nearly broke his heart (again) when he saw her looking away. Ah...turning around after going over a few things to note to the class, Shota left the room. Ah, that was rather painful. Holding back a sigh, he went to go and nap in the lounge for now. When he woke up, it was already well into lunch. Standing up, Shota stretched out from his sleeping bag when he spotted familiar brown hair and the soft sound of someone sleeping. Walking over, he found Ayumi to have fallen asleep on her desk. He let out a sigh as he knew she'd have a sore neck in that position. Carefully and quietly, Shota picked her up and walked her over to the couch where he placed her in the sleeping bag. Resting her head on his lap, he went to read over his papers to grade while sipping on some coffee. He really didn't understand why he was being so nice to her...and he much rather not think about it too much.

Namie filled her bag up with a variety of gummies ranging from sweet to sour. She loved it all~! She also got a few hard candies as well. She can't ever get enough of them hehe. She thanked Denki for the sweet treat and invited him over her place for some games. The two played a few games and had a light dinner together. She gave Denki a soft kiss on the cheek when he left, her heart fluttering when she did so. Ah, how she wished she can kiss those lips again. Ah! There she goes again with such thoughts! Bad Namie! Shaking her head, Namie went to do some studying as she took a nice hot shower to soothe her aching muscles. Come the next day, Namie was once again thrown into a physical evaluation as she was nearing the end of her mid-terms. Oh, how she can't wait for Saturday! She's been texting Denki throughout the day and before he went off to practice, Namie sent him a thumbs up and told him to have fun but be safe~! Ah, if only she can see him again after school. Hehe.

---

Grabbing the scruff of Denki's shirt, Haru smirked down at him as he told the blonde loud and clear, "you really have to man up! That girl deserves a real man! If you can't even do that right, I might as well show her myself!" He noticed the little green-haired cutie on Monday. And he's noticed the way the two looked at each other, it was painfully obvious and oh so annoying that he had to come out and show Denki a thing or two about being a man. Tch, if things aren't going to fix itself, then he might as well take matters into his own hands! Plus she was cute to boot. He can have fun with that. Heh.

Genkai Genkai
 
Mela and Momiji kept training for a bit but soon Momiji seemed to reach his limit. "Tired already?" Mela teased him before she sat down with him. "You know you can't take a break during our rematch." She stuck her tongue out. Not unless he somehow pinned her down but Momiji was pretty light, she didn't see that happening. Looking down to the boy facing her, she reached over and patted his head fondly. "Uhh yesterday? Uhhh I went to a friend's house." Yes, that was normal right? She couldn't lie and say nothing though, she did something! "I was helping him with uh a project." Mela explained as she pressed her lips together. Okay now it sounded like she was lying. But Momiji didn't want to hear about her and Toshinori right? Her face turned red for a moment, remembering how nervous he had seemed, more than usual. Gosh, he was so cute, did he even know that?

When Momiji knew what he wanted to do, she somehow had a bad feeling. He seemed too eager for whatever he had in mind. "Well I guess whatever you want to do, I'll be there!" Willingly? Mela kind of just wanted to go home and watch sappy K-Dramas but she decided going out with Momiji wasn't so bad, he'd only be here a few more days. "I can't keep up with you." She whined and flipped back up so she was standing. "You're impossibly fast, Momiji-kun~" She sighed as she ran after him. Why did she get matched up with him? It was not fair! This had to be Ayumi-sensei's doing! "What do I get if I catch you?" She shook her fist at him. Sure, if she caught Momiji, she'd get the reward of him but she wanted a bit more incentive than that heh.

- - -

When Ruka decided to use their quirks, he gave her an understanding nod. He was a bit nervous but still confident in his abilities. He would need to practice countering her flames well before their rematch. The pair danced around the room, neither of them showing signs of relenting. Thanks to his quirk, he could move the flickering fire out of his reach as well as her punches and kicks. But at the same time, in doing so, left him a bit vulnerable to other means of attack. He could counter multiple things but with Ruka and her fire, it took a lot more concentration and soon he found himself rather worn out and getting a headache. When Ruka protected him from her stray flames, he stumbled back and eyed her injury, eyes wide that she'd do that for him

"Th-thank you, Kurotsuki-san. Are you okay?" He frowned as he they sat down, hating the fact she got hurt because he was too slow. His chest began to ache. He put a hand to his chest as he listened to Ruka's words about soulmates and how they may not matter much. It was an interesting thought, Shoto and Ruka had a deep bond but he had a feeling without their soulmate mark, they'd still be together today. Suddenly he fell forward, the pain becoming too much as he laid down on his side, beginning to cough and wheeze. His face as red and he was beginning to shake. He stared off, knowing Ruka had to be thinking the worst now. "I...I'm fine. It's...just my...respiratory system." He panted weakly, trying to breathe, hoping this didn't mean he'd be pulled from his training today. "Just give me a few minutes." He begged softly, not wanting to alert the school to an episode of his.

If Ayumi knew how much pain looking at Mela caused Aizawa, she would have yelled at him and probably shoved Mela at him. It would be like immersion therapy or something. Those two needed to get over themselves. Aizawa didn't need Uede to be happy, why couldn't he see that? Why couldn't he see her instead? Ayumi would just have to lurk in the shadows a bit longer. As she dreamed, she had visions of black fire and chaos and yet it felt like there wasn't anything she could do. Though all of a sudden that dream faded away as she breathed in softly, her body relaxing a bit as she felt something warm envelop her.

Ayumi's dreams were now more of her flying around, chasing after a certain colleague of hers. She felt her heart jump as she realized she wasn't at her desk. Still sleepy, she just drifted back off to sleep, not sensing any immediate danger. Ayumi felt quite comfortable and let her head fall to the side of Shota's leg but his warmth did prompt her to stir. So where was she exactly? She realized she was in some fluffy egg roll er sleeping bag. She licked her lips and glanced up. Thankfully she didn't just roll off the couch in surprise. But...but why was she in Aizawa's sleeping bag on his lap!? Was this a prank? Was she laying in natto or something? Her face was quite red as she found herself unable to say anything sassy. She feared if she said anything at all, he'd kick her out. And she liked where she was. "Thank you, you're quite com-fort-a-ble." She said under her breath, there she thanked him, as she sank further into the sleeping bag, hoping to hide her blushing. Ah why was Aizawa being nice to her?!

- - -

Shoto pressed Tohru further, trying to get something for Ruka, though he had no real idea what he supposed to be extracting from the clumsy brunette. Tohru babbled about how she cared for all of the Sohmas and that she cared deeply for Yuki and Kyo. Shoto shook his head, wondering why he was doing this. Oh yes, he loved Ruka. And wanted to get Yuki-san out of his way. Shoto tried to see if she had any romantic interest in Yuki and Tohru once again flailed her arms and laughed before tripping and almost falling on her face. He reached out and caught her before she looked to him, having read his emotions. "You love Kurotsuki-san don't you?" "Yes. You can tell?" "Yes, I can feel it in your heart. You must always love her, huh?" Tohru blushed, just surprised Todoroki kept his girlfriend so close at all times. It was sweet.

- - -

Denki whined at Haru. Why was this happening to him!? This was abuse! "Wha-what?! Y-you stay away from Namie-chan!" Denki huffed and tried to get the guy to let go of him. God, this was annoying. "I'm man enough, damnit!" He let free a surge of volts but they didn't phase the guy as Denki was thrown across the room. Denki landed on his feet and ran at Haru. "You leave her out of this. My fight is with you. She would never go for a guy like you!" Denki growled. Yes, when it came to Namie, he would protect her from anyone, especially this kind of a guy. He was no good at all. The two continued to trade punches though it was clear the blond was struggling to keep up. Haru was just a full force of power. "Namie-chan deserves someone sweet, not some lunatic! Hah!" His eye couldn't help but twitch at the guy's implication. Bleh. Noooo.

AiAi AiAi
 
Running around was something he enjoyed doing. He can run so fast and at times he can get away from things due to that. But other times, Momiji wanted to take things slow and enjoy things. Not everything can be enjoyed forever after all. But that was a story for another time. Ehe. Smiling over at Mela as she kept chasing him around, the two had quite a speedy time training. Heh. After training, Momiji walked towards the locker room with Mela, telling her that he'll meet up with her at the front of the school. He wanted to shower after running around so much though he didn't really break a sweat from that. No no, but if he hurried, he should be able to catch a certain teacher before they run off. Showering and changing in the speed of light, Momiji was out the door within a few minutes top.

Rushing out of the locker room, the young blonde looked around for the tall muscular figure of...aha! There he is! Spotting All Might walking along with Midoriya, Momiji grinned widely as he jumped onto the tall hero's back, "All Might-sensei! I have a question for you! Can you help me?" He hanged off the bulky hero as Midoriya excused himself. All Might looked confused but he nodded his head indicating that he was listening. Momiji's smile brightened as he jumped off and stood in front of the hero, "can you please help me with my homework? Ah, but I'm hungry so do you think you can meet me at the new cafe that just opened recently? You know the one near the train stations? Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaase." All Might looked a bit lost on what to say or do and so Momiji added, "it's just that the school cafe is so borrrring. I've been there sooo many times and I'm only here for a few more days..." eyes watering up Momiji pouted up at All Might and that was more than enough to break the hero's resolve. Heh, easy.

Jumping with excitement, Momiji waved at All Might as he said, "Yay! I'll see you soon!" Hiding a smirk, Momiji ran at full speed towards the front gates. His plans are almost complete. Hehe. Running to the front gates, Momiji spotted Mela waiting there already. Waving at the brunette, he picked her up as he ran past her and laughed lightly, "sorry for the wait~! Let's go!" He ran until they arrived at the bus stop, placing her down Momiji gave her a wide grin as he told her, "so I heard from Mina-chan that there's a new cafe opening up! I really wanted to check it out with you! That's fine, right?" Well, that wasn't a lie. He did want to go with her. Getting on the bus, the two headed towards the cafe. Momiji was looking quite excited.

As they arrived, they sat in a booth. The cafe was quite cute yet it also had a cozy sense to it. All in all, it was nice. Sitting across from Mela, Momiji looked around excitedly, "wooow~! Look at this place! It's pretty cute, huh?" He gave Mela a smile as there was no indication that he was planning something. He liked to think he was being a good boy. He was helping her out as it was quite obvious to the honey-eyed boy that Mela liked All Might. Plain as day really. As they were waiting, Momiji spotted the one person he has been secretly waiting for. His eyes lit up as he waved the man over. He gave Mela a sweet smile as he said, "I ran into him earlier and he sounded interested about the cafe, its okay, right?" Now, time to push them together hehe.

- - -

The training seemed to be going well with everyone. As the bell rang signaling the end of school, All Might was about to head towards the office himself when Midoriya Shounen walked up to him. The two discussed a few things that Midoriya was concerned about when he suddenly felt a weight on his back. Blinking in surprise, All Might noticed it was one of the exchange students, ah the really sly one he recalled. Midoriya excused himself as he felt like he was hogging All Might. All Might can only nod his head and watch as Midoriya Shounen left. Turning to the Sohma Shounen, he gave the young male a smile as he listened to what he had to ask. He blinked a few times. Huh? U-uh this was not what he expected. "A c-cafe? Oh but there's one right here in school...?" As he mentioned that, the younger male teared up and now how can a hero say no to this? "Sure! A cafe right? Sure, I'll meet you there then! I'll be right there after I pack up my papers in the office, okay?" Seeing the smile radiating off Momiji Shounen's face, well All Might really can't say no to that. And here he was hoping to find Mela and hang out with her...ah well it can't be helped now. A hero's job never ends after all!

After checking to make sure he had nothing else for the day, All Might left the school. He headed towards the new cafe that Momiji Shounen mentioned and as he arrived there, he entered the cute looking store feeling a bit out of place. It was quite a cute place...but Momiji Shounen was quite a cute boy so he supposed that matched. But him? He certainly did not fit in. At all. Urgh. Looking around, he spotted the mop of bright blonde hair and the small hand waving him over. He smiled but as he got closer to the booth, he noticed an oddly familiar head of brown...wait...no...was it...? Walking over, All Might nearly turned tail as he realized it was Mela. What!? This was not part of the deal here Momiji Shounen!? All Might looked between Mela and Momiji Shounen before being ushered into sitting next to Mela. Um...well then.

Fighting down the blush, All Might smiled over to Mela, "h-hey there Mela-chan, I'm surprised! I didn't know you were coming too. Now then Momiji Shounen, what was the question you had for me?" He gave a pointed look to Momiji who seemed to hold an air of innocence as the younger male spoke up, "heeeeeeh. So you call Mela-chan with a -chan, but you don't call me like that? Actually, do you call anyone like that?" He smiled a bit at that while All Might's face turned red. Ah! Shoot! He did that by accident as he always calls Mela that ever since she learned of him being Toshinori as well. All Might looked over at Mela, unsure of how to answer that when Momiji continued with a light giggle, "that's not fair All Might-sensei~ I want to be called that way toooo. Or is Mela-chan just that special to you?" T-this boy! This boy was a lot sharper than he thought. All Might was torn in how to answer that. Should he answer honestly or as a teacher...? Glancing over at Mela briefly, All Might made his decision. He told himself that he won't lie to Mela anymore, so he really can't back out now, can he? "You're right. Mela-chan is quite special...but if you really wish, I can call you that too, Momiji-kun?"

- - -

Ruka was by no means shy about her feelings for Shoto. No no, she loved Shoto very much and she would gladly show that. But...for her, it was still so hard to wrap her head around it at times. To know that someone loved her for who she was. She's shown quite a bit if not all of herself to Shoto. Perhaps he hasn't seen her act cold and angry side just yet, but that was something she hoped would never be directed towards him. As she sat down next to Yuki, Ruka waved a hand, "it's alright. I'm quite used to burns so this is nothing really." Yes, for the longest of time it took Ruka many tries to control her flames. It was hard at first and it hurt, but over time the flames learned that she was their Master and that they must obey her. For Ruka, her flames were a part of herself yet at the same time it wasn't. The flames had a will of their own in a sense and at times she can feel their bloodlust just raging in her blood. It frightens her sometimes, but she learned to reign control over her own flames. These were her flames...curse or not.

As she was talking, Ruka paused to see how he reacted to all that she just said about soulmates when suddenly Yuki fell down onto his side. Ruka's eyes widened as she moved to kneel beside him, "Yuki-san? Yuki? Hey! A-Are you alright?" Just as she thought about rushing out to hit the emergency button or call for All Might or Ayumi-sensei, he told her what was wrong. Eh? His respiratory? Was he having some sort of attack? Frowning, Ruka could hear the plea in his pained voice. But the right thing to do is call for help...right? But what if help doesn't come soon enough? What if it was too late? Heart racing and her mind clouding, Ruka shook her head. No! She can't panic!

Light blue hues steeling with determination, Ruka knelt beside Yuki and gently reached out for him as she told him, "relax, I'm going to help you, alright?" She gave him a small smile in hopes to help ease his worries as she gently propped him up against her as she wrapped her arms around him and held him close to her chest. Closing her eyes, Ruka channeled her quirk to activate, nothing too hot and no flames appeared. Instead, her body began to surge with a soft warmth. She knew that too hot of an air can cause more pain for respiratory issues, but a bit of warmth always helped soothe it out. The cold wouldn't do, but something just a little warm should do the trick. Or so she hoped. She rubbed her hand on his back as she held him close, hoping that this will help him.

After a bit, Ruka noticed his breathing even out and let out a small sigh. Glancing down at him, she asked with worry shining in her eyes, "are you alright now? How do you feel?" Ah, that was scary...for a moment she thought something bad would happen. And if she couldn't do anything about it...then what right did she have to call herself a hero in training? Letting out a sigh, Ruka told him, "ah! You scared me there! I-I didn't know what would happen for a second there...mou! Don't make me worry!" She gave him a small pout. That was scary for her too! But with a smile she told him, "but I'm glad nothing bad happened...don't feel bad, just thanking me is enough." She lightly told him as she didn't mean to make him feel bad. She was just...scared and worried. Scared that she really wasn't meant to be a hero with her quirk, but also scared for his well being.

Taking a sip of his coffee, Shota's eyes stayed glue on the papers as he hated grading things. Really, it was just so time-consuming and not necessary. But since this was a school, he couldn't just say no to grades. Plus this was their mid-terms so he supposed he will have to make an exception. Tch. He didn't really mind Ayumi sleeping in his sleeping bag and resting on his lap. He found it as a means of distraction from thinking about Mela. Ayumi floating around him all the time was a distraction for him. He never really took much thought to it, but he did realize he thought less of Mela whenever the Witch was flying around. He supposed he can thank her for that, but at the same time, he wouldn't. That just felt...odd. Having Ayumi sleeping beside him while he graded papers, he found that he didn't really think of Mela much during that time. Something that both pained him and relieved him. He was upset at himself for not thinking about Mela, but a part of him knew he had to eventually stop this. Even he knew it was bad...but how can he stop himself?

It was as if his heart was torn in two and now the half was missing. She took it with her and he wasn't sure if he'll ever feel whole again. Would he ever really fall in love again? Did he want to...? Right now, no. He knew that much. If he was being really honest here, he knew it was because he was scared. Scared to give his heart away again only to be rejected and feel the pain all over again? Yeah, no thanks. And this was a reminder to himself that was one reason why he never really had a serious relationship. After all, he was a hero and he was a teacher as well. It was hard to juggle everything along with romance. Yes, love wasn't suited for him to begin with. This pain, it was a reminder to Shota all over again. One that he probably won't ever forget.

A sudden shift of weight on his lap caught his attention as he glanced down to see Ayumi stirring awake. He heard her muffled thanks, but he pretended not to hear it. Instead, he looked over and noticed she was blushing. Was she acting shy? He smirked slightly as he found that amusing. Reaching out, he placed a hand on her forehead as he mumbled out in a raspy voice, "are you sick or something? First I find you sleeping and now your face is red." He was teasing her of course, but seeing her this flustered was a first. She did have a cute side he supposed. Heh. Blinking, Shota realized what he just thought and that just tore his heart. Ah...why did he think that...? But what about Mela? And now he felt torn. Not wanting to have such conflicting thoughts, Shota looked back at his papers then over at Ayumi. Seeing that she wasn't getting up, he lifted a brow, "are you comfortable there?" Apparently, she was. He heard her earlier, ah but she was soooo quiet he couldn't quite hear. Heh.

Why couldn't the matches end earlier? Namie held back a whine as she so badly wanted to go over and surprise Denki after his training. But noooo. Huffing, Namie showered and changed back into her school uniform as she finally finished her last match. It was a bit of a rough one as she had to do a bit of hand to hand, but she managed somehow. She got a few scratches and bruises here and there, but it wasn't so bad that she had to heal herself. Plus healing herself always took quite a huge chunk of her energy and she honestly didn't want that. Not when she can possibly still go and see Denki! Hurrying out of the building, Namie heard a cheerful voice that caught her by surprise. Looking over, she noticed it was Eijiro and Denki! Ah, Denki!

Smiling, she hurried over and ran past Eijiro as she ran up to Denki, "Denki-kun! You came by again!" Happy, she hugged him tightly before hearing a whine from Eijiro, "I'm here too Namie-chaaaan!" Jumping, she gave Eijiro a guilty look as she greeted the red-head, "a-ah sorry about that...I got a little excited..." she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly while Eijiro gave Denki a smirk. Curious as to why the two were here, Namie asked, "hm? But what are you both doing here for?" Eijiro shook his head, this girl was so clueless at times. Grinning, the red-head wrapped an arm around Denki's shoulder as he said, "well you see, this guy here was rushing to get changed and stuff after class so I followed him along wondering what was up! It's okay if I tag along right?" Eijiro laughed as he invited himself along regardless.

Namie gave a small giggle as she smiled over at the two, "hehe sure. But what did you guys want to do?" She tilted her head to the side. Eijiro glanced over at Denki before grinning down at Namie, "why don't we all go get something to eat? Oh! Unless you can make us something at your place?" Eijiro sounded excited to have a girl cook for him. Namie blinked a few times before smiling kindly over at them, "I would love that. Then let's go to my place." What Namie didn't know was that Eijiro helped Denki get away from Haru who was still Black Haru at that moment. It seemed like Haru was intent on finding out where Namie was so he can 'show' her what a real man is like. Eijiro wasn't about to let his friend lose Namie. No no, not to a guy like Haru. Even Eijiro thought Haru was too much for a nice girl like Namie.

As they walked to her place, Eijiro was walking ahead of the two as he talked loudly about his own training. Walking beside Denki, Namie sneaked her hand over to hold his as she gave him a small smile. Her soft gentle squeeze told Denki that she was very happy to see him...and Eijiro too haha. Arriving at her place, Namie let them in as she said, "you guys can play some games. I'll go make us something to snack on then." She was thinking hotcakes would be a simple yet yummy snack?

Genkai Genkai
 
With training over, Mela wondered how bad would she feel if she tried to just sneak home heh. But she didn't want Momiji to get upset with her, something told her if he started to cry, she wouldn't be able to tell him no to anything. So she agreed to wait by the entrance as they discussed, though she had to wonder what it was he had in mind. Maybe the park? They could enjoy the swings eheh. Suddenly she felt a gust of wind and found herself being swept off her feet. "Mo-Momiji-kun!" She did not like being surprised, he almost gave her a heart attack! Back on her feet, she let out a long sigh. "Ooh a cafe? Sure, we can go there." A cafe sounded perfectly harmless and quiet. Mela headed onto the bus with him, quite happy to have a relaxing trip somewhere without drama or stress.

She had enough of that already. Sitting down in the booth, she looked at the half-German, half-Japanese boy and wondered what he was up to. She had a sense he was plotting something. She heard Momiji mention inviting someone who was interested in the cafe but when she turned, she almost fell over. All Might?! Surely he wasn't interested in the cafe...so why was he really here then? Mela looked back to Momiji. Why did this feel like a set up of some sort?! Mela moved a bit more for their new guest to sit down, she eyed his hand, he seemed fine. That was good. As All Might and Momiji had a back and forth, Mela couldn't help but feel like a thousand dragonflies were swirling inside of her. Argh. With her face already quite red, she looked away as Momiji asked not just if she was special, but special to him. Ah...ah! W-what would All Might even say to that?

Mela ducked her head and tried to think of a way to escape. If only she had Uraraka-san's quirk or even Ayumi-sensei's. She jumped when All Might said she was quite special. She felt her heart stop. Oh my! But he meant special as in academically right..? Finding it quite hard to breathe, Mela felt a bit faint as she leaned against All Might, though that may just be a habit she was beginning to develop. "Mo-Momiji-kun...are you trying to set us up?" She squeaked out. Surely he wasn't or this had to be some kind of game he was playing? But this felt almost like a date. Or was she imagining things? Mela just hoped Toshinori was okay with all of this madness. Though Mela had to quietly agree that Toshinori was special to her too. But she couldn't just admit that. No no no no.

He'd probably assume she was talking about him as fan and not as a er woman. "Aaanyway um h-how was your day?" She asked All Might, sitting up realizing she had been leaning on him. Just act normal! She fidgeted a bit as she offered All Might a smile, even though they had seen each other yesterday, she was still happy to hang out with him. "I'm sorry Momiji-kun uhh...roped you into this." She said quietly. Whatever this was. Still, she hoped he would stay because she wanted him to. Hopefully he didn't have anywhere else to be. Mela gave Momiji a pout, "Momiji-kun, wh-what's this all about?" She would like some answers, even if an explanation was slowly coming to mind. But did Momiji have a clue about how she felt about the pro hero? Was it that obvious to him after only being around her a few days? Mela felt her heart pounding. "But I guess we should enjoy ourselves huh?" She shyly looked up to All Might, still rather shocked by Momiji's surprise.

This was so embarrassing. For Kurotsuki-san to see him like this, it really was something he had hoped wouldn't happen while at UA, fighting against their best and brightest. But his quirk allowed him to do minimal moving which would ensure his weakened bronchial tubes didn't get agitated. While he was skilled in hand to hand, he couldn't do it too much or he'd end up having trouble breathing. Combined with his quirk and the stress of this exchange, Yuki was sure this was going to happen sooner or later. He just hoped it didn't happen on Saturday. He felt arms around him as he found himself in too much pain to say anything to the girl about how sorry he was for worrying or troubling her. Yuki closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, the pain slowly dying.

Eventually he opened his eyes as his body attempted to relax, his muscles twitching slightly as his brain was trying to tell the rest of the body that this episode was done. Yuki looked to Ruka, flushed and rather weak but better. "I'm okay now, thank you." He smiled softly. He hadn't considered her quirk could have such a calming effect. He was grateful for her quick thinking, she had the mind of a hero. UA really did have the best students in the country. "I...I'm sorry to make you worry." He frowned, feeling quite bad. He didn't want her blaming herself for this incident. No, he was pushing himself too hard and he had to be careful, less reckless. Getting to his feet with her help, the bell rang and he rubbed his neck, sighing, "I apologize for having to cut our training short." He said.

Being vulnerable wasn't something Yuki enjoyed. But then again who did? He placed a hand on her shoulder. "You really helped me, thank you." He smiled to her. "I know yesterday you were sort of dragged out but I'd love to take you out, if you'd allow me." Since she knew how he felt about Honda-san, he didn't feel a need to specify the context of this outing as friends, as opposed to anything more. Still, he did admire Ruka's ingenuity. Todoroki was very lucky to have this girl in his life. "Oh, and perhaps we could invite Todoroki-san...and maybe Honda-san?" He suggested, thinking it would make Ruka and Shoto a bit more comfortable if they had one another. With Ruka open to the idea, Yuki went off to get changed but also to call Hatori, knowing his physical would need to be informed of this incident. Hopefully he didn't try to get Yuki to forfeit his upcoming rematch. Yuki would hate having to do that.

After changing, he found Tohru who was incidentally enough, conversing with Shoto outside of the school's wide wooden double doors. "Honda-san, Todoroki-san...how was training?" He asked. Tohru looked to him, already able to see it in his eyes. Something had happened. He looked a bit more frail and tentative in his movements. Tohru pulled Yuki into her arms as Shoto moved over to see Ruka heading for them. Shoto gave Ruka a smile and a wave. He could hear Yuki and Tohru chatting quietly, though it sounded a bit serious so he tried not to eavesdrop as he walked over to meet his girlfriend halfway. Shoto took Ruka's hand, "Everything go okay?" Shoto asked her, not sure why the prince looked a bit out of it. "What I could gather from Honda-san is that she likes both Yuki and Kyo." Shoto said, remembering his duty as information gatherer.

"She also seems to have a bit more adoration for Yuki-san than Kyo but she would often just blush and then trip when I pried too much." Shoto tried to explain. It really wasn't easy getting information out of the burnette. She seemed very happy but also very shy. Some girls he just couldn't decipher even with all the books in the world. He kissed Ruka lightly on the temple as the four of them were to go out together. While Shoto was going to protest, he decided against it. No, Yuki wasn't that bad and he got the sense this was more of a friendly outing than anything else. At least he was included this time right? The four walked downtown with Tohru fussing over Yuki under her breath while Ruka and Shoto held hands behind them.

In a way, Shoto wished he could use Honda-san's own quirk to figure out how she was feeling. But love complicated many things. He had at least put together a general theory that Ruka was trying to get Yuki and Tohru together. Right? He was glad if that was the case, because it meant Yuki was not much of a threat. Of course he didn't know Yuki had connections to possible other, older threats. For now, Shoto elected to enjoy the lovely afternoon. They found a frozen yogurt shop and got in line to make their own chilled treats. Shoto still held onto Ruka's hand, enjoying her warmth and his mingling together. Just being around her filled him with a sense of comfort, belonging and acceptance. Suddenly Tohru turned around, her bright eyes shining. "Thank you so much for helping Sohma-kun." After enough prodding, Yuki finally told Tohru what had happened.

"Ah but please don't think any less of him." Tohru also added, knowing Yuki wouldn't say it himself, but Tohru wanted Kurotsuki-san not to think any less of Yuki as a fighter or hero in training. "Sohma-kun is still going to do well on Saturday. So don't hold back." She insisted with a smile. Yuki glanced off to the side, frowning. Urgh, Tohru could something let her passion get the better of her. And cause Yuki even more embarrassment. The boy held back a blush as he put his hand to his mouth. Tohru was too kind sometimes but her dramatics were sometimes a bit much eheh. Hatori had told Yuki to be careful but that he could still participate provided another episode didn't happen between now and then. Tohru then turned her attention back to the counter as it was her turn to grab her bowl and help herself.

Shoto rubbed his neck a little. Somehow Honda-san reminded him of Uede and he wasn't sure if that was good or not. He looked to Ruka, certain she wouldn't go easy on Yuki. A hero had to push past their limits and if Yuki was pursuing his heroic dream then he understood his limits, be them physical, and would go against others who were otherwise more healthy than he was. "Did you think you of trying to talk to Honda-san? You may have better luck than myself." Maybe he could in turn help Yuki-san? After all, if he could become a good boyfriend to Ruka, he was sure Yuki-san could get his act together and be a bit more assertive about his feelings. Sometimes the best thing to do was to be honest and really try right? And he never regretted taking a risk in going after Ruka. It was the best choice he ever made.

Ayumi would be quite annoyed if the lesson Aizawa took away from him and Mela was to never bother to love anyone again. Argh men! Sure, she didn't really know much about love herself, but she did know Aizawa had been happy with Uede, for some reason. And that breaking up meant he could love someone else and be loved in return. That it wasn't so impossible. Hopefully whoever he was with could put up with his inability to communicate feelings heh. Or was at least someone who wasn't a student because that had to have complicated things, but also made them all the more thrilling? Ayumi gritted her teeth at his teasing question about being sick. He didn't really care, no no. But his hand felt oddly nice, Her eyes looked elsewhere. This was very unlike her, she didn't like falling asleep around other people, it felt weird.

Letting out a nervous sigh, she didn't bother to reply to him asking if she was sick. Nope, that trap she could see a mile away. Instead she focused on how cozy she felt. When Aizawa asked if she was comfortable, her face turned all the more red. Okay now he was really teasing her! She popped her head up and glanced up to him, glaring at slightly. "Fairly." She just said before she wiggled and sat up. She began to wonder how she was going to thank him without actually thanking him. Aizawa would surely mock her for just falling asleep out in the open. Getting out of the sleeping bag, as she took his taunting to mean she should get up, even though she really didn't feel like it. Ayumi rubbed her eyes and set the sleeping bag between them, trying to shake her sleepiness and nerves.

"I guess school is over." She noted as she stood up and straightened her clothes out before she walked over and put her hat back on her head and grabbed her broom, deciding to head off for the day. Maybe she could take a nap somewhere under the clouds or refuel another way. She glanced back to Aizawa, opening her mouth. "What? Aren't you coming?" She asked him as she headed out the door, deciding to use the same technique he used to get people to just follow along. Heh. Ayumi decided to take him out for being so unusually nice to her. Maybe with some positive reinforcement he might behave more often? "Coffee." She muttered in explanation as she waited for him to grab onto her as she flew them across town to a European coffeehouse.

Settling on the ground, she led him inside and sat down, it was very fancy and a place she went to when she needed something exceptional to get her through the long nights on patrol. "You working again tonight?" She asked as she thought about what she'll order. Something creamy and strong heh. Ayumi had patrol as well but she wondered if she'd be keeping an eye on him again. She decided to order some coffee cake to go with their drinks. Ayumi's cappuccino arrived and she saw a cute witch's hat been drawn in with foam. She glanced up and waved to the elderly male behind the bar who took care of their drinks. "What makes you happy?" She blurted out, looking up from her coffee. "And don't give me some abstract answer either." She wanted something concrete, something she might be able to manage. She had to try at least. Was it so impossible to think she could make him happy? Hopefully he didn't say something like her leaving him alone or something suicidal er stupid like that.

Denki had decided after training with Hatsuharu, that he should go see Namie and complain to her about how mean his partner was and how she should stay away from him come Saturday. Yeah, with all the stuff spewing from that guy's mouth, Denki didn't want Namie to get involved with a guy like that. No, Namie was too sweet for him. As he headed out, he quickly discovered he was being followed by who else but Kirishima. Denki groaned, wanting some alone time with Namie but Eijiro voiced distaste in him getting the girl all to himself all the time. Well he had a point but still, Denki was hoping to Eijiro would leave them alone eventually. The two boys eventually came to Namie's school and before he could do anything, Eijiro called out to her. Denki blushed and waved her over too.

Much to his surprise, and amusement, Namie bypassed Eijiro all together and came running into his arms. D'awh! Denki hugged her tightly, a few sparks coming out, causing Eijiro to step back for a moment. Denki was so glad that Namie was this excited to see him. "How's it goin'?" Denki grinned to Namie after she hugged Eijiro. Denki nudged his friend back a bit at the smirk. What was Eijiro smirking abou anyway huh? Denki was thankful for Eijiro's help, at least when it was actually offered. Sometimes Eijiro could be rather unhelpful, like when he was trying to get Ruka alone for so long when she first arrived at UA. "Oi! You can't just invite yourself over to someone else's house!" Denki protested at his friend's suggestion. That was so rude!

Still, Denki was happy to go and enjoy some of Namie's cooking. As Eijiro walked ahead, talking about Kyo, Denki looked to Namie, offering an apologetic smile but he was glad Namie didn't seem too bothered. Feeling her hand in his, he gulped, almost tripping over himself. This was nice. Very nice. Denki blushed as he held her hand tightly until they reached her house. Denki unlaced his boots and looked to her as she said they could go play games. Frowning, he glanced to the redhead before he wondered if he could help. Could he? Yes, he could! "I'm gonna go help her." Denki said, gesturing to the kitchen. Kirishima smirked, glad he didn't have to push the guy all afternoon. While Eijiro went to go start up the gaming console, Denki followed Namie into the kitchen and paused, watching her take things out. She looked so cute, even doing simple, ordinary things.

"I'd like to help." He spoke up, not wanting to space out too much but her movements were very graceful. Almost angelic. He didn't want to offer because he knew she'd tell him it was fine so instead he was trying to be a man and insist he help his host. Politely of course! Denki walked over and looked at what she was going to make. "I know I don't need to ask because I know you did well, but how did it go today?" He asked before he looked a bit closer and noticed a few scrapes and cuts along her face. "A-are you okay?" She seemed fine but there was a cut that was beginning to bleed a little. He quickly grabbed a paper towel and got it wet before he began to clean the cut on the side of her face. Thankfully it was shallow but he had to bet it stung. Denki's face was awash with worry as he dabbed it and applied some pressure. Smiling, he moved to kiss her forehead, "I-I don't have any lollipops." He smiled to her, deciding a kiss to make her feel better...was okay?

AiAi AiAi
 
He had no clue what was going on anymore, but he suddenly found himself sitting next to Mela sitting across from a rather clever and bright young boy. Oh, how that boy got him well. Were his feelings for Mela that obvious? Or was the boy just that observant? Or maybe his quirk wasn't really super speed but maybe mind reading? Oh, thats frightening to even imagine. As All Might was flustered over Momiji's proddings, he glanced over at Mela when she leaned against him. He could feel his skin burning where she was leaning on as his face turned red. Momiji's smile widened as the younger male smiled sweetly to Mela as he gave her the most innocent look possible, "eh? I don't know what you're talking about~" How can he be setting things up when it was obvious those two are so meant to be together!? Like, it was near frustrating for the honey-eyed blonde that the two weren't together yet. What has U.A. been doing slacking off on matching these two together? Tsk tsk, well fear not! Momiji Sohma is here to save the day! Hehe.

All Might couldn't help but gawk at Momiji's innocent act! Lies! The boy obviously knew what he was doing! Before All Might can even try to get Momiji to tell the truth, he turned to Mela. He gave her a small smile back as he told her, "I'm doing quite well...I hope your day has been good too?" Ah, having her so close to him, he just wanted to wrap his arms around her and engulf her in a hug. She was just too cute! But no no...he must refrain. Seeing Momiji's smile widen, All Might knew he was trapped...and also caught red-handed. Was it that obvious? At Mela's question, All Might directed his attention to the young Sohma, he was curious as well. What was this boy planning?

Momiji smiled brightly at the two in front of him as he gave them an innocent smile while saying, "eeeh~? I'm not planning anything at all hehe. I just wanted to see this new cafe~! And also..." as the waitress came by to order, Momiji piped up and ordered for all three of them, "I would like the hotcake special while those two will like to try the couple's deluxe set~!" All Might nearly choked on his own spit when Momiji mentioned a couple's set. He glanced over at Mela then back at Momiji. Before All Might can even fix the situation, the waitress was already gone with their orders. He felt the need to correct Momiji, but somehow it just wouldn't get past his mouth. After all, he did want that to be true...a couple...with Mela. He felt his face brighten up. Momiji grinned as he told them, "I really wanted to try that couples set, it looks so yummy~" and obviously he and Mela can't pass as a couple, but one look at Mela and All Might...those two already looked like quite the smitten couple hehe.

He weakly gave a small smile as he nodded his head along with Mela's words, "ah yes...let's enjoy this time together.." ah, well that was the truth. He was happy deep down to be able to spend time with Mela like this. Plus he was just thinking about her and now he was sitting next to her. He wouldn't have asked for more...maybe his arm around her was allowed...? Just maybe? Momiji grinned as he said, "you two look so cute together~ Are you two dating~?" He needed to prod them some more, plus he has never seen All Might, the number one hero, be this red while even Mela seemed quite red. Hehe.

- - -

Ruka was relieved to know Yuki was feeling better. She gave him a small smile as she shook her head lightly, "no need to apologize at all. I'm just glad you're feeling better." Helping him up, the two left to go and get changed. Ruka agreed to go out with him after school since he seemed quite insistent on thanking her for helping him. But wasn't that what a hero does? Ah, but either way at the mention of inviting of Shoto and Honda, well Ruka had a few ideas in mind. Plus she needed to reward her sweet boyfriend too hehe. After getting changed, Ruka stared down at her hands, noticing it was still shaking slightly. Ah...it was scary indeed. She wasn't just worried about Yuki...no she was scared of herself. She was worried her quirk would go out of control and instead of helping Yuki, she was scared it would hurt him instead, thankfully that didn't happen. Fisting her hands tightly, Ruka headed out. She had nothing to worry about.

As she spotted Yuki with Honda, her eyes soon landed on Shoto. She felt her entire body relax upon seeing him. Meeting him halfway, Ruka leaned against Shoto as she felt her body finally stop shaking, "hm? Oh...well, yeah. Everything was fine, just a little cough but nothing much." She smiled over at Yuki and Tohru before smiling at Shoto. She supposed Yuki wasn't keen on letting others know of his health condition. Ruka won't go spilling that to others, though perhaps later she'll have to tell just Shoto. She was certain he wouldn't go telling others either so Shoto can be trusted. At hearing the answers Shoto got out of Tohru during his training, Ruka smiled. Ah, yes that was helpful! Leaning up, she kissed his cheek as she giggled slightly, "thank you! That helps a lot." Yes, she was feeling much better now.

As the two walked behind Yuki and Tohru as they headed out of school, Ruka was just enjoying walking beside Shoto as her hand held his in a gentle yet firm grip. Ah....being beside Shoto like this, Ruka was reminded of her love for him. He was a source of comfort and love for her. She really couldn't get enough of him hehe. As they decided upon some frozen yogurt, Ruka blinked as Tohru suddenly turned around and thanked Ruka. Eh? Ruka held her hand up, "ah, it's nothing to thank me for..." but as Tohru went on to say that Yuki was still very much strong. Ruka smirked, "oh? I didn't think any less of him. Don't worry, I don't plan on going easy." Never was she one to go easy on anyone. She wasn't like that. No no, she'll give it her all in whatever she does. Thats just the way she does things.

As Ruka began to get her own or well her and Shoto's as the two decided to just share a large cup, she glanced over at Shoto, dumping in loads of strawberry as she thought over his idea. "Hmm, I didn't yet....I probably should. You can try talking to Yuki-san as well?" Well, that part she wasn't sure how it will end, but Ruka can probably squeeze it out of Tohru one way or another.

- - -

Shota felt bad for thinking of another woman as cute...his heart should be set on Mela...and if he can't have Mela then he really doesn't deserve anyone else. He couldn't even keep his own soulmate happy, why would he deserve to have someone else then? No no...he was best off alone. Distracting himself with Ayumi was finding to be good as Shota can ignore the painful throbbing that was his bleeding heart. Maybe this way he won't be solely focused on Mela. He watched as Ayumi got up after a grumble and when she stood up, Shota noted the time. Yes, it was after school but when he found her asleep, he somehow didn't have the heart to just leave. Maybe it was because she pestered him so much that he was used to having her around after school? Ah, what lies was he making up now?

When she turned to him with an expectant look, Shota lifted a brow. Hm? Hearing coffee, Shota decided that wasn't a bad offer, "guess it's your treat then." Shota said with a slight smirk as he settled on her broom, his arms reaching out to wrap around her as this was becoming a habit of theirs. He didn't mind holding onto her, plus it made her uncomfortable it seemed like and so he'll enjoy teasing her. Or was she enjoying his touch? Nah, that can't be it. He has been anything but nice to her after all. As they arrived at a rather fancy looking teahouse, Shota sat across from her as he ordered an expresso. He decided he'll probably need some for tonight. He's been working more and more lately, but he found he doesn't mind. It was a good distraction if anything. He felt a tiny bit bad for the villains as they got the brute of his frustrations. Heh.

He blinked a bit at her question, "ah yeah...I'm probably working tonight..." he trailed off as he wasn't sure what she was up with asking him that. Though at times he spotted her in the night, flying in the sky. But at her second question, Shota was surprised. What makes him happy? He gave her a slight frown. What was she planning? "I suppose cats and sleep." He wasn't a difficult man or so he liked to think.

Tying her hair up into a short ponytail, Namie wore her cream colored apron with red frills on the ends as she began to take out the necessary items to make a hotcake. She looked up in slight surprise when she saw Denki entering the kitchen. At his words, Namie was about to insist that she can do it just fine, but he seemed to really want to help. Letting out a small sigh of defeat, she gave him a smile as she reached out for a more plain colored black apron that her dad used at times, "here, wear this so you won't get your uniform dirty~" Grabbing the milk and eggs from the fridge, Namie explained to him, "I'm planning on making some hotcakes and tea to go along with it, what do you think?" She grinned over at him, a bit excited to cook with him.

Though when Denki came closer and asked about her day, Namie paused. Ah, today was a bit rougher than the day before, but she didn't think it was anything to worry about. "Oh, I won today too! But it was a bit more difficult than yesterday's match ehe." She blinked when he came closer. She had a few scratched on her, but she didn't think they were anything worth healing for, "ah, I'm fine, Denki-kun...?" Namie watched as he scuttled off to grab a paper towel before returning to her side. He began to clean the cut on her face, Namie felt the sting, but it was nothing compared to things she's felt before and so she barely flinched. Instead, she found her face heating up as he moved over to kiss her afterward. A-ah...that was nice.

Placing a hand on her forehead, she stared up at him with a happy yet shy look. Ah was it now? Then...can she be greedy and ask for more? "Um...then...I-I think I need one here too..." she mumbled out as she pointed at her cheek where there was another cut. Or maybe...if she asked for a kiss on the lips, would he comply? Or would he just short circuit? She smiled up at Denki, her arms wrapping around his neck as she looked up at him while tilting her head to the side, "where's my lollipop, Denki-kun?"

Genkai Genkai
 
Mela was just as sneaky as Momiji, so she knew he was hardly innocent. In another lifetime, Mela would love to her hands on that cutie across from her. But no no, she had Toshinori and Shota to consider. But if she knew Shota felt like he wasn't able to make her happy and that he didn't deserve anyone else, she'd cry. Mela looked to All Might, glad to know his day had gone well. Hers? Ehh it had taken an interesting, if not dizzying turn. At Momiji's brazen order of the couple's set, she let out a noise. "C-c-couple?!" She put her hands to her cheeks, she was overheating now wasn't she? She didn't even dare see if All Might was trying to deny this gesture.

It seemed like he wasn't. So was that a good thing or was he just being polite? Or like her, was he too stunned to say anything? Mela nervously took a drink of water but ended up choking on it when Momiji asked if they were dating. What?! Her and All Might or her and Toshinori? There was kind of a difference. But nooo they weren't. She glanced off suddenly worried her reaction was a bit wrong. She felt her heart race as she tried to collect her thoughts. But Momiji was really trying to force her hand. She wanted to ask Toshinori out but she wasn't sure if it was too soon or even if he'd say yes. She was worried he'd say no and then they'd stop being friends. She didn't want that. It almost happened twice.

"I um..." But she had to say something! "I um I-I guess we do kind of um seem like a couple...?" She slowly looked to All Might. "Ah any girl would be l-lucky t-to date you." Yes that was a good enough answer without spilling her heart onto the table right? She gave Momiji a look. She took another drink of water, knowing if All Might did put his arm around her, she'd probably melt into the floor. But she had to keep her wits about her, Momiji was very sneaky. "Do you like anyone...?" She couldn't help but ask All Might. Since they were having a romantically charged discussion, why not? Momiji was bound to ask it at some point. And she was curious.

- - -

As they got themselves their respective yogurt, Shoto thought about him talking to Yuki. He didn't really want to. But he figured he should give it a try right? He glanced to the princely guy and tried not to make a face. He knew something had happened based on Honda-san's comment but he wouldn't pry. It sounded personal and he wasn't going to ask Ruka anything she may not be allowed or wish to say. He wasn't too worried about Yuki personally but he could tell Honda-san was and that may be an opening for them. He suddenly blinked and gave Ruka a look. "Wait...why are we helping them?" He asked her. It didn't matter much to him. Sure, it would get Yuki-san away from his Ruka but did it matter?

Sighing, he decided if he was too shy to talk to Ruka or make a move, he would need the extra push forward. He had used self-help books in order to become a bit more outgoing and considerate fo Ruka. So maybe he had to pay it forward somehow? Why couldn't he just get the guy a library card? "If we do help them, I believe I was promised some kind of treat." He blinked as he took a scoop of frozen yogurt, eating around the berries so Ruka could enjoy them while his portion had granola. "And this doesn't count." He smirked slightly, licking his lips suggestively. He leaned over and kissed her before he decided to get it over with.

He grabbed Yuki and moved outside. Yuki's yogurt seemed like it had both blueberries and strawberries in it as well as bits of chocolate. Huh. Shoto began to talk to Yuki, trying to see what the guy had done to get Honda-san's actual attention. Shoto had learned by now a guy had to be proactive and assertive. You couldn't drop hints and hope for the best, you had to go for it. Yuki seemed a bit unsure of how Honda-san would react if he just made a move. Shoto knew how he felt. He had been unsure with Ruka because he knew they were soulmates before she did and it made him question their compatibility without their marks influencing them.

Watching Yuki and Shoto go off together, Tohru approached Ruka, a bit nervous as to what they may be discussing. Tohru had strawberries, bananas, chunks of rice krispies and coconut. "Kurotsuki-san." She smiled softly as she sat down to join her. "Sohma-kun must have been working really hard to go against you." She noted, even though she wanted Ruka to take the fight seriously, she was still concerned. "But he told me how your quirk soothed him, so thank you." She smiled a bit more. Even though she had already thanked the girl, Tohru was insistent on doing it again. "You and Todoroki-san seem so happy together." She sighed dreamily.

Tohru wished she could have that happiness but it seemed a little selfish to want something all to yourself. "How did you and Todoroki-san become a couple, if you don't mind me asking?" Tohru inquired. She thought about Kyo and Yuki and how different they were and how she cared for them both in different ways. "Was there...ever someone else, a possible other besides Todoroki-san?" She felt that was too personal of a question so she waved her hand. "I-I'm sorry, that was rude of me! I suppose I'm just confused and whenever Sohma-kun gets hurt, it feels like I'm hurting." She sighed and looked to Ruka. Maybe she knew what she was trying to say? "Ah um any advice, would be nice..."

- - -

It did make Ayumi nervous to have his arms around her. For someone so prickly, he was comfortable. But he was also a bit of a distraction. If he did anything else, she was bound to fall from the sky even without that quirk of his. So whenever he did fly with her, she told herself to think of anything but Aizawa. It usually worked, her brain latched onto something or someone else and by the time they got to their destination, she had forgotten how he smelled. Ayumi had been keeping an eye on him. She was usually able to just hide behind tall buildings but she was sure with someone as keen as him, he had spotted her lurking. But he hadn't said anything so maybe he didn't mind. Or care.

Ayumi let out a huff at his expression. What?! Did he think she was going to destroy everything that made him happy? Seriously, this guy was so jaded, it wasn't even funny. Maybe a little. Ayumi shook her head. She was way too lazy to be counterproductive around Aizawa. She could only spite him so much before it was just extra work for the witch. If only she could make a clone of herself. "Cats and sleep?" She repeated, her tongue darting out to suck on her upper lip thoughtfully. HUh. Well that wasn't a lot to go on because she already knew those things about him but she decided it was better than nothing.

"Well okay then!" She suddenly pictured him a set of cat onesie pajamas. Haha. She grinned as she sipped her coffee and smiled as the cake arrived. It wasn't too sweet and had a good amount of cinnamon. "Wanna know what makes me happy?" She didn't give him much time to reply as she told him anyway. "Flying of course, kimchi, fuzzy blankets, gothic literature, witchcraft, and you." She smirked. Moving to the city had been a huge risk but whether he knew it or not, Aizawa was a big reason for her toughing it out. And sure he was a jerk, but she didn't mind. Hopefully that didn't speak too much about her self-esteem. No no, maybe about the bedroom heh?

- - -

Ahhh his uniform? He didn't care about that but it was cute that she did heh. Denki approved of the tea and hotcakes. It sounded like a fluffy yummy treat for a slightly windy afternoon. He was quite happy to clean Namie up and heal her for a change so when she mentioned her other cheek, he cleaned that up as well. Though he didn't know if she wanted another kiss or not. He wound up pecking her on the nose, trying to control his mind. "I'm glad you won." But it worried him to see how hurt she was. He didn't like those close to him being hurt. If he had a healing quirk, he would use it on Namie in a half a heartbeat.

Telling her to be careful went without saying but his eyes hopefully conveyed the message. When Namie curled her arms around his neck, his legs almost turned to jelly. What about the hotcakes? His hands twitched, unsure of where to place them. He rested them on her hips as he held her against him, his mind slowly forgetting why he was even in the kitchen wearing an apron. At Namie's mention of wanting a lollipop, his face turned red and he felt several shocks hit him at once. Y-you don't ask a guy where your lollipop was! S-some guys might misconstrue her words and put them into very very dirty context!

Denki glanced off, telling himself to breathe. How did he end up like this again? He was trying to help Namie and yet he felt like his mind was beginning to spasm and shock itself. "I-I-I um...I said I didn't have any." He said quietly, looking down at her cute face. Ah why was she looking at him like that? Breathe Denki. "I'm sorry." He blinked a few times. Ah it was very hot in the kitchen and yet they weren't even cooking yet! Trying to pry his mind out of the gutter, he looked to the counter. "Wh-what should I do to um help?" He smiled to her, one of his hands moving along her side subconsciously. Keep breathing Denki, you're doing fine. She didn't mean anything sexual by her comment. No no, Namie was innocent.

AiAi AiAi
 
Calm down Toshinori....this was a test....a test by a small young boy who was a lot more clever and smart than he appeared. Ah...why must he be tested in such a way!? He felt his heart beating wildly in his chest as he hoped it wasn't so loud that Mela can hear it. A c-c-c-couple!? Him and Mela? I-If Momiji wanted to so badly try the couple's set, surely he could have asked someone else to go with him? Maybe Kurotsuki Shoujo and her boyfriend? That was possible, no? No, this boy was planning something, surely using that as an excuse! This was all a test to see just how much Toshinori can hold it in before he caved in to his desires of wanting to wrap his arm around Mela! It must be it! Was it so wrong for a man to want to just hold the woman he loved close to him!? Ahhhh what was he even saying!? Just his thoughts alone was making the man brighten up as he nearly just melted when Mela agreed that they do indeed look like a couple.

A-ah was she saying that she wouldn't mind dating him!? Was that what it meant? Or was she just trying to be nice while gently rejecting him? All Might couldn't tell but he blushed as he told her, "a-ah thank you...b-but I'm sure any guy would be lucky to be your d-d-date." Ah, he couldn't even say the word boyfriend as his tongue failed on him last second. All Might didn't know what else to say and was glad for the distraction of a cup of water. Momiji was watching the entire interaction with complete amusement shining in those honey-gold hues of his. When Mela asked him if he liked anyone, All Might nearly spat out the water. Gulping the entire cup in one go due to his sudden nervous heart, he looked slowly over at Mela. Did he have anyone he liked? Well yes, there was a lovely lady that he was quite smitten with...but he can't just say that out loud to her in her face!

Momiji piped up before All Might can answer, "Mela-chan, now you're just being cruel~ Isn't it obvious that he likes you~?" He grinned widely while All Might's jaw hinged open T-This boy! So he knew all along! Well, by now it was quite obvious that All Might was quite the man in love. Even Hizashi had an inkling of an idea that All Might was in love, especially when the loud blonde stumbled upon Toshinori the janitor softly mumbling to the flowers at school asking for love advice. Yes, it was not obvious at all. All Might's eyes widened as he felt a bead of sweat drip down his forehead. He looked over at Mela then back at Momiji as he finally spoke up, "a-ah I um...there is um...well yes." Um...did that answer his question....? "W-what about...." He wanted to ask if Mela liked anyone, but surely not, right? She did break up with Aizawa-kun so she didn't like another person...right?

Though it seemed like Momiji butted in again as he spoke up, "eeeeeh, now you're just being sneaky yourself All Might-sensei! Obviously, Mela-chan is in love with you~" He grinned once again, enjoying this quite a lot. Hey, he was just trying to help the two out and while he was at it, he deserved a bit of a treat, right? Momiji blinked a few times as he saw All Might's face turn a deep shade of red and was that steam coming out from the top of his head. Ah, did he push it too much? Fortunately, the food arrived which served as a distraction for all. Momiji's eyes shined as he said loudly, "ahhh, we can share all this, right? Right!" Because he wanted a little bit of everything. hehe. All Might gladly stuff his face with a slice of hotcakes, unsure if he can trust his mouth to say the right things. He might just slip up and confess to Mela and this is by far not the type of confession he was imagining.

- - -

Ruka blinked over to Shoto at his sudden question. Ah, that is a very good question. Why were they helping...? Ruka glanced over to see Yuki and Tohru talking quite happily. She could see the happiness in Yuki's eyes. Ruka smiled slightly as she told Shoto, "because...I see a bit of us in them." She smirked at Shoto's suggestive words. Taking a bite of a strawberry, Ruka winked over at Shoto as she purred out, "of course my love~ A very special treat awaits you hehe." Just like she promised, but why did it feel like she was getting rewarded instead? For some reason, Ruka can imagine that Shoto won't let her just please him only. It'll be two ways in the end hehe. Watching Shoto drag Yuki out the store, Ruka giggled. He can get so aggressive at times. She blinked seeing Tohru coming over. Ruka waved her hand when Tohru thanked her again. She was glad her quirk was of help to Yuki though. "Ah, there's no reason you have to thank me. I was just trying to help...I'm glad I was of help to him." She was just glad nothing bad happened out of it. As Tohru mentioned her and Shoto's relationship, she chuckled as she noticed the look in her eyes. "Hmm sounds like you want something like that too?" Well, she supposed any girl does? Well most, Ruka concluded.

Eh? Was there another person in mind for her other than Shoto? A brief image of Denki's smiling face flashed in her mind along with the explosive smirk of Katsuki. Ruka blinked a few times as she shoved those images out of her mind. No no...that was just strange. She gave Tohru a small smile as she spoke up while poking at a strawberry, "hmm you know, I'm not sure if there ever was another option for me...it just all happened honestly. I wasn't out pining for love nor was I even looking...I guess when I moved here...I just kept finding myself seeking out more and more of Shoto's presence and before I knew it, I would find my eyes looking for him." Hm that didn't quite answer her question, did it?

Looking over at Shoto and Yuki, Ruka told her, "perhaps you're confused as to what like and love is...like can be towards anyone...for example, I like you and Yuki-san." Ruka smiled over at Tohru as she added, "but I love Shoto....if you feel like you're hurting because Yuki-san is hurting...maybe its because you care that much for him? Do you hurt when other people aside from Yuki-san is hurting?" Ah, probably judging from how kind Tohru seemed. Rubbing the back of her head, Ruka let out a small laugh, "sorry...I'm probably not the best to ask for romantic advice...I originally never planned to fall in love..." staring down at her hands she explained herself, "I don't really find myself deserving of another person's love, but the more I get to know Shoto, the more I realize that I was being naive....it really isn't up to me entirely. After all, love is something between two people...and if they make you happy and full just by looking at them...well, isn't that love?" Though she supposed that there was a fine line between love in a romantic aspect and love for a friend.

Giving Tohru a smile as Ruka poked the brunette's forehead, Ruka asked her, "you're too kind unlike me, Honda-san, so you probably care for all your friends like that...but if you don't mind me asking, what is the one thing that you keep wanting? That you keep finding your eyes looking for?" Ah...she should have asked Mela to do this, Ruka just wasn't cut out for giving out advice. Urgh.

- - -

Shota nodded his head, yes. Cats and sleep. Really, it wasn't a hard thing at all. He supposed there were other things he liked that made him happy. Like the smell of freshly brewed coffee when he woke up from a short nap to head to work? Ah, yes that always made him feel somewhat alive. At least enough to get him through the day. Or the feeling of crushing the villains with his scarf as he turned them in and made sure the town was safe during the night? That was another feeling of satisfaction that can certainly bring a smile to his lips. Though as he thought about it more, he wondered to himself what did make him happy exactly. A sudden image of Mela came to mind with her sweet smiling face. Ah...that did make him happy, but now it just brought forth a bittersweet and painful feeling.

Pushing aside his thoughts, Shota returned his attention onto Ayumi as she suddenly spoke up. Huh? His eyes narrowed. Why did she ask to begin with? What was she planning now? Shota has learned by now that Ayumi was quite a calculative and playful woman...playful in not a good way mind you. When he asked her a question about her own happiness, Shota was about to just tell her to keep it short or don't tell him at all. He wasn't interested really. But she told him anyway. He held back a sigh wondering why he even tried. Women can be so troublesome. Her list was quite random and her last one made him look at her. He blinked a few times, wondering if he heard that correctly. Did she just say him? He made her happy? Hah?

His brows furrowed as he sipped on his expresso. That wasn't funny. How did he make her happy? He can't recall a moment where he was nice to her save for maybe today. "Very funny, like I make you happy?" He couldn't help but voice out his confusion as he looked at her, trying to figure out what she was even thinking. Honestly, he wasn't on the list of most people's 'happy' list so to hear it from her of all people was...strange. Yet somehow oddly comforting. To know that he can make others happy...it wasn't a bad feeling. But okay, he was still suspicious of her and was certain she was just pulling his leg.

- - -

Namie was a tad disappointed when he kissed her on the nose, though it was a very cute gesture so she'll take that as well. When she asked him for her candy which for her was another kiss from Denki, Namie blinked a bit as he seemed to turn quite red. Oh? Her eyes shined as she quite enjoyed seeing him get flustered. What was he thinking of~ She can guess as she wasn't as innocent as she seemed. Feeling his hands on her waist and rubbing her side, Namie felt her heartbeat quicken. Ah...that felt nice. Moving in closer, Namie felt herself pressing herself against him slightly as his movement made her subconsciously move closer to him, wanting to feel more.

Staring up into his eyes as he apologized about not having any lollipops, Namie held back from giggling. Ah...he was too pure! Too sweet! Was it bad for her to want to taint this boy and make him her's? Namie's eyes shined slightly as she gave him a small pout. What can he do to help? Namie gave him a sweet smile as she ran one hand down his chest as she tiptoed up to speak up into his ear, her lips lightly brushing against the shell of his ear, "hmm well...I suppose there are several things you can help me with..." she blew teasingly into his ear as she pulled back. She gave him a sweet smile as she jumped back to her sweet self as she said, "you can mix the batter while I get the pan ready?"

Moving over to grab all the ingredients, Namie began to scoop a few cups of flour and sugar into a large bowl while asking Denki to grab the eggs. She then added in the liquids of milk, eggs and a hint of some almond extract into the dry mix. Smiling over at Denki, Namie handed him the whisk while she went to go grab the pan. Melting some butter on it, she began to cook the fluffy cakes while talking to Denki normally. As if she just wasn't touching him and pressing herself against him. Hehe. As Namie finished cooking, she even let Denki try to flip a few and it worked out quite well! Placing them onto three plates, Namie cut one up as she held it out for Denki to try a bite, "how is it?" She tilted her head smiling up at him. Noticing a bit of the syrup got on the side of his lips, Namie gave him a sweet smile as she told him to stay still, leaning up, her tongue flicked out as she licked it clean while pressing her lips softly on his cheek, right by his lips. She licked her own lips as she told him, "there was some syrup on you...it tastes yummy hehe." Hearing Eijiro calling for them, Namie smiled over at Denki, "ah, can you take these up for me, please? I'll be right there~" Hm, did she tease him too much? Hehe.

Genkai Genkai
 
Mela eyed All Might, who she had never seen this nervous before. This was all Momiji's fault right? Yes. That boy was going to get it come Saturday for all of his teasing. But when Momiji blurted out that All Might liked her, she froze. Haha what? Nooo. She was sure by now he would have found someone a lot better than her. Momiji's jokes weren't funny. She felt her chest tighten further as she just stared at the glass of water in front of her, trying not to pass out from this whole emotional ordeal but her whole head was beginning to spin. She could tell All Might was struggling as well so when he said yes, she finally returned her gaze to his. Yes? As in...he liked someone or...that it was her?

It suddenly felt like her body was on fire and she was worried the slightest touch may just be her undoing now. As All Might began to speak, Momiji intervened and said she loved him. She glared at him, covering her mouth with her hand. Her instinct was to just deny it but a part of her really didn't want to. It was a bit alarming to hear she loved All Might from someone else's mouth though, she had wanted to say something...eventually. Maybe. Well originally she intended to never say anything and just die alone because she deserved it but clearly Momiji had other plans. She noticed All Might steaming up and she was worried, he may need to go before he slipped back into his other form.

But he didn't seem eager in leaving so she didn't mention it. But her eyes settled on the food, not sure how either of them could even think about eating at a time like this! Urgh! Now she had to say something to Toshinori. Damn it, Momiji! But what could she say and when? Removing her mouth from her brightly colored face, Mela sipped her water, not trusting herself to eat and risk choking. This wasn't how she pictured her confessing. This was just horrible so she knew she had to fix things, and soon. Mela moved her hand to rest on All Might's shoulder as she pushed herself up so she could break her silence, "Y-you should come over to my place...to uh talk." It wasn't too far from here though it may as well be on the moon.

She had been quiet in her request so she hoped Momiji didn't overhear and make her say it here. Momiji had done enough meddling to last Mela a dozen lifetimes. She sat back down and told herself she needed to tell Toshinori formally how she felt and that maybe, if he wanted and if he had time of course, she...wouldn't mind going on a date? She wanted to wait and see Shota move on but it seemed that wasn't going to happen. If he found happiness then maybe she could too? Mela nibbled on a chocolate brownie as she tried to gather her courage. Yes, she would have to tell him that even though he wasn't his soulmate by a mark, she still felt rather bound to him.

Thankfully the meal wasn't too lengthy, though ask Mela and she'd say it lasted about three days. She wished Momiji wasn't so short or she'd be kicking him under the table. Mela finished her water, her hand shaking slightly as Momiji decided to leave, giving them an innocent smile and wave. Mela stood outside the cafe with All Might, still stunned. Taking a deep breath, she forced herself look up to All Might. "Um, shall we?" She had no idea what he might be thinking about her offer but she hoped he didn't think it was bad. No no. It was only bad for Mela's heart. Toshinori probably liked someone else, which is why he seemed alarmed by her closeness. Yeah. The walk was silent and when she finally unlocked her door after a few fumbled attempts, she stepped aside to let the pro hero in first.

Mela's feet suddenly refused to move but somehow she got inside and closed the door behind her. "It...it might be easier if you um weren't All Might." Maybe? Mela looked to Toshinori before grabbing his hand and pulling him over to the couch. God, what was she doing? Sitting down, she rubbed her head. "Um I uh I want to um...take you out." She said nervously, her eyes downcast. But now she was concerned her intention wasn't going to connect so she forced herself to look at him, so with her face quite warm she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his. In the middle of her nerves and excitement, she had found herself not thinking about Shota, no this was something she...had wanted to do...for a very long time. A very long time. But if he didn't like her, then dying alone would be very nice then.Sitting back, she looked to him, holding her breath. Was any of this okay? Or did she just do something really stupid? "Like a date, T-Toshinori." She decided to clarify, her heart coming to an abrupt stop.

- - -

Tohru had to silently agree, she did want something akin to what Kurotsuki and Todoroki had with one another. It seemed so wonderful. She couldn't imagine being so close to someone but she would like that. The girl listened as Ruka considered if there had been anyone else. Maybe Tohru being torn between two guys was a sign she really wasn't into either of them. Or maybe that she couldn't make up her mind? Tohru felt bad, she never wanted to lead Kyo or Yuki on. It did sadden her that she might hurt Kyo or Yuki if she picked one over the other. But Ruka had found love without looking? She was just drawn to Todoroki-san?

The difference between like...and...love? Tohru felt silly that she hadn't really considered what that distinction was. But how did Ruka decide such a thing? How did she knew she loved Shoto and didn't just like him a whole lot? As Ruka explained how she hadn't intended on falling on love and that she wasn't sure if she could love someone or deserve it, her face fell. Oh Kurotsuki-san, who could ever think they'd be unworthy of love? Torhu was about to say something but stopped herself to let Ruka finish what she was saying. Torhu let out a blush when her forehead was poked. "Hehe well..."

"I...I want everyone around me to feel happy and warm and loved." But that was probably too silly huh? She looked to Ruka with a light smile. She then thought about what she wanted or yearned for when it came to the two boys in her life. She should have consulted Shigure-san but perhaps he would only try to tease her. But he did write romance er novels. But the brunette felt it was better to seek advice from a fellow woman than a man. "I care about Kyo-kun, but when I'm with Yuki-san, I feel a lot more...like light. Like I'm lighter than air." She considered, blushing. "Yuki-san has always been so kind." Kyo had a temper at times which was okay but it did scare Tohru at times.

"What kind of things do you feel when you're around Todoroki-kun? Is it like...nerves or is it something else?" Tohru asked Ruka, hoping she wasn't being too nosy. But she did find it informative to talk this out with someone else. She was sure Uo and Hana would just tell her to find someone who wasn't part of a big mysterious family. Tohru glanced outside. "What if...we all went out like...a formal setting?" Tohru found herself suggesting. Maybe that would help? "Ah but i can't continue to impose upon you and Todoroki-kun." She blushed, waving her hands. "Ah forget I said anything."

Outside, Shoto folded his arms. He wasn't sure if butting into the lives of others was really worth it but he would do his best. "I don't want to scare Honda-san if I do something like try to kiss her." Yuki muttered, face red. Shoto had only know the girl a short time but he was sure anything would startle her so why not swing for the fences? "How did you show Ruka you were serious about her?" Yuki asked. Shoto blinked. "I er...I danced with her." Yes it was in that moment he told her truth about them. It was in that moment, he knew she was the one. There were other moments yes but Shoto felt quite proud of his gesture at her house after dinner. It had been a very good night and Shoto had fond memories of them together, the look on her face before she understood how connected they truly were.

Yuki was quiet for a moment. He wasn't sure if he was the dancing type despite his rather ballet dancer body. But he was sure Todoroki-san didn't think of himself as a dancer either so that did mean he went out of his comfort zone to show Kurotsuki-san how he felt. "Look, if you're not ready, that's fine but if you don't do something, someone else might. And if losing Honda-san is more appealing than telling her or showing her how you feel, then maybe you shouldn't bother." Shoto knew he was a bit harsh but Yuki had to try and risk failing. He couldn't hesitate and let someone win Honda-san's heart. If Kaminari had stepped in and Shoto had been too shy, he would never forgive himself. Yuki let out a sigh and headed back in to see the girls and if they were doing okay. Yuki had a lot to think about, while Shoto was hoping he had done enough to help. Shoto smiled to Ruka as he prodded her. "You ate all the yogurt." He pouted playfully. Of course he didn't actually mind.

- - -

SHe could see he was dubious and a bit annoyed. But that's often how he was around her anyway. She took another drink of her coffee and licked her lips clean. "Mmm yes, I mean you're not very nice. And you're a bit of a lazy bum but...mm yes, you do make me happy." It wasn't just that he was fun to tease. No, he was just fun in general. He was so interesting and his former girlfriend made him all the more curious. Yes, she found herself quite drawn to him since she was shown UA by him. It was a shame he didn't have the same gut feeling she did, but in time he may very well change his mind about her.

She thought back to their dance together and even visiting him when he got injured. And then today he was so sweet, she wanted to just die! Ayumi knew deep down, he was a good guy. Ayumi was a bit jealous that Mela knew that and so few did. But Ayumi wasn't going to comment on that. She didn't expect him to understand though, he was still so closed off from the world and the people in it. She had to figure this was his first real bad break up but Ayumi hoped he and Mela could rebuild their relationship, not their romantic one, but the one where they cared and supported one another. Why throw all of that out? Soulmates could be platonic or something yeah?

Eating a bit more cake, she had to figure one of these days, she'd tell Aizawa to stop dwelling on the past and to just go and talk to Mela as he normally would. In a year, surely he wouldn't still be hung up on her. He had to move forward. Maybe if she just dragged him a bit, he could walk on his own without shutting down. Maybe someday Aizawa would smile at her again. That would be very nice. But she doubted she could really make Aizawa happy, not when he was like this. "I really do hope you'll add to the list of things that make you happy." She said softly. "I'm sure you'll find someone who makes you forget the way you're feeling now, someone that makes even a guy like you find a reason to smile again."

Sappy? God yes. Blah. But still, Ayumi did have that wish for him. If only he'd just open his eyes and see her, that she wasn't so bad. Ayumi finished her coffee and fished out some yen, yes she had enough embarrassment for one day. Grabbing her broom, she let out a sigh. Maybe she was just making a fool of herself, well she was...no maybe needed there heh. Still, she wasn't going to give up on Aizawa. He couldn't give up on love though. And maybe if he talked to Uede, he could find real closure and see life wasn't over for him. "I uh trust your legs know how to get you home?" She blushed, walking outside. Surely after all that he would probably scoff at her or just call her weird and she didn't want to deal with that right now. She had work tonight and needed to finish cleaning her house. Yes, something to distract her heart from pining after such a difficult man.

- - -

The happy-go-lucky blond found himself in quite a close situation. Literally! He honestly hoped Kirishima was busy playing games because Denki wasn't sure how he could explain why he and Namie were cozied up like this, pressed together. But he was comforting her, right? Uh right. He wasn't sure what to do though or how to keep his male mind preoccupied with innocent things such as puppies, ham sandwiches and staplers. Yes, think about anything but this cute, pretty girl in your arms who may or may not have said something a little bit sexual. But she didn't mean to and Denki was willing to just laugh it off because his mind couldn't do to the image of Namie licking things other than actual lollipops. Be good Denki. Be better than most guys.

When Namie stroked his chest, he let out a small 'eep' as he found his heart pounding inside of his chest like a deep bass. He bit down on his lower lip, her breath against his ear as once again an innocent phrase filled his hazy mind. Ah help her? Yes, he wanted to help her. He swallowed as he chewed harder on his lower lip, certain he was going to draw blood. "Oooh?" He saw her step back and mention the batter. "H-hai!" He let out a shaky breath. See?! Namie was very innocent and Denki almost felt like a dirty boy for thinking such things heh. They began to prepare the cakes and Denki was surprised by how well he was doing, yes keep thinking about office supplies.

When they could finally try the hotcakes, he took a bite she offered. So light and airy! Like eating a cloud! "Ah so good." He smiled, giving her a thumbs up, finally feeling in control of his mind and body again. When Namie told him not to move and inched closer to his face, he felt the whole world stop. What was going on?! Denki held his breath, feeling her wet tongue lick something sticky off of him right by his mouth. Noo think of something else! His eyes were wide, his mouth slightly agape as he trembled, his hands twitching, longing to be around her. No, don't, Denki! Eijiro needed his food. Yes, Eijiro was here huh?

He stumbled back, "Th-thank you?" He wasn't sure if that's what he ought to say but he did because Namie was sweet and uh just didn't have a napkin handy? Trying to turn to hide his red face, he took the plate and darted off. Denki ran up to Eijiro in Namie's room, almost tripping up the stairs before he fell down, Eijiro catching the plate of food before it was ruined. "Dude, what happened?" Eijiro smirked slightly. "She licked me!" Denki groaned, hands covering his face. It felt so good but ahh he had no idea what to do! Eijiro started laughing to himself, oh his friend had a long way to go but good try, Namie-chan. "Well did you lick her back?" "What?!" "It's only polite, you're her guest." Eijiro teased poor Denki, trying to convince him that if the host licks you, you have to lick them back but sadly Denki was not buying it. Darn. Here Eijiro thought Denki was too gullible heh. Denki looked to Namie when she came in, his heart jumping. "D-do you need help cleaning up?" Denki offered. She did say he could help with several things.

AiAi AiAi
 
The silence was near suffocating as All Might didn't know what Mela would say to that. Shouldn't she correct Momiji and tell him that no, she isn't in love with him...? But why wasn't she saying anything? Ah, but she doesn't seem happy. Ah...what was he hoping for? All Might continued to eat the sweets laid out in front of them, unable to say anything back either. He was desperately hoping that Mela would just agree with what Momiji is saying, but certainly, that wasn't the case and definitely not if she looked that uncomfortable. Ah, what was Momiji Shounen even thinking by bringing them all here together? All Might couldn't understand what the young blonde was thinking.

As he thought things would just settle into a silent moment, Mela suddenly stood up placing her hand on his shoulder. All Might nearly jumped at the sudden contact, his eyes wide as he looked up at her. "M-Mela-chan?" All Might spoke up confused, but upon hearing her sudden invitation to her place, his face turned red. W-What!? Momiji's eyes were wide too, but they were sparkling as he watched it unfold before him. Oh, this was a good sign, right? Right. The meal soon ended and Momiji stood up as he said, "oh! Well, that was yummy, thanks for the meal sensei! I'll see you tomorrow then Mela-chan~" Momiji smiled sweetly over at the pair before waving as he bounced away back to the dorms. Or would he be able to run into some other people and meddle er hang out with them? Maybe~

All Might was beyond nervous as he stood by Mela, watching the little sneaky boy head back ahead of them. He glanced over at Mela, wondering if she was serious about him coming over to her place. But at her words, All Might nodded his head stiffly as he walked back to her place. Upon arriving, All Might entered first and blinked when she asked if he can be just himself. Nodding, he released his muscle form as he went back to his lanky Toshinori self. Sitting on the couch next to her, Toshinori gave her a small smile, wondering what she wanted to talk to him about. Eh? W-What did she just say!? His eyes were wide as his mouth hung open for a moment. D-Did she just invite him out on a date? No no no...that can't be it. She was just saying going out as friends right? Though that thought alone kind of hurt.

But what happened next caught him completely off guard as soft lips pressed against his. Now his mouth really hung open as he looked at her with wide eyes. Did she just---?! And did she just say a date!? He felt his heart exploding like fireworks as he felt like his entire world was just flipped upside down. W-Was this a dream? Ah, but if so then please don't ever wake me up! Realizing he was silent for far too long, Toshinori reached out and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly to his chest. His face was completely red as he spoke up into her hair, "a-are you sure....?" Pulling back, he gave her a small smile. He wondered if he should or not, but giving in to his desire, Toshinori lifted Mela's chin up as he leaned forward and kissed her softly on the lips. He parted after a moment and stared into her eyes, "I would like that very much." His face suddenly exploded red as he fell back onto the couch. Ah...he can't believe he just did that!

Ruka smiled slightly as she listened to Tohru speak. See? Tohru was already much kinder and caring than Ruka could ever be towards others. Chuckling, Ruka told her, "you're already quite a fine hero with that mindset, Honda-san." As she listened to Tohru explain her feelings towards Kyo and Yuki, Ruka wondered what she would do if she was in such a situation. Her mind floated over to Denki. Aside from Shoto, she probably was closest to Denki among the guys when she first came here...but she wasn't attracted to Denki like how she was with Shoto. She blinked a bit. Light and airy huh. Wasn't that a good thing? Though looking over at Yuki, Ruka can't quite find herself being all light and airy around him. He was too Princely for her...and sneaky too. Oddly persuasive as well now that she thinks about it.

Ruka blinked at Tohru's question. How does she feel around Shoto? "Hm, well I suppose I feel...very at home." Well, maybe not home exactly, but perhaps it was the ideal home for her as her real home wasn't exactly...homey for her. Ruka smiled as she explained, "whenever I'm with Shoto, I feel relaxed and I can feel like I can be myself without him judging...I also feel very...safe. Like nothing in the world can hurt me..." Ruka trailed off as she looked over at Shoto. He took her nightmares away, he made her feel loved. She really couldn't have asked for more. Ruka went silent as she realized that yes, she loved Shoto very very much. This was just another reminder to her of her deep feelings for Shoto that seemed to just grow stronger and deeper every day.

Smiling over at Tohru, Ruka told her, "the best thing is listening to your heart. Hm...perhaps using your quirk on me would help you understand better...?" Ruka placed her hand in Tohru's to let the girl have a feel of how she felt for Shoto. Maybe that can help her more than words? Since words can't describe just how much she loves Shoto. At the mention of a formal setting, Ruka looked thoughtful. Well, Shoto did confess to her with a dance, maybe that can help Yuki out too? "I think that's a good idea...ah but would you and Yuki-san be fine with that?" But where can they go for a formal setting? She could probably ask Yukito for a place...but then he'd probably come over and personally escort her or something annoying like that. Urgh.

When the two returned, Ruka grinned up at Shoto. She glanced down at the bowl in her hands and yes...she did eat it all. Oops. She just continued to eat while talking that she ended up eating it clean. She gave Shoto a sheepish smile as she said, "ah sorry...um I'll get you another treat?" But she could probably give him an even sweeter treat than yogurt. "Oh right, Honda-san was mentioning a formal outing, what do you think, Shoto, Yuki-san?" Might as well just ask straight up. Ruka smirked over at Tohru, giving the girl a wink.

Shota didn't quite believe it. He made her happy? That was...just strange. He couldn't understand her. His eye twitched as he frowned at her. She didn't have to mention him being lazy, plus it wasn't being lazy...he just rather sleep instead of doing most things. His eyes get tired after all. Plus watching over kids all day? It can get tiring. Plus, did he have any right in making others happy? Maybe as a hero sure, he can still make others happy by keeping the town safe, but even then he wasn't making someone happy directly. If anything, it was a strange thing in general. To make others happy being himself....that was just strange.

Finishing up his drink, Shota lifted a brow. She was acting weird today. Add to the list...huh. Shota eyed Ayumi from across the table as he wondered where she was going with this. When she mentioned hoping that he can one day be happy with someone else he realized she was talking about him and Mela. Was she trying to tell him there was someone else out there for him other than Mela...? But she was his soulmate...no. That didn't really matter, did it? No...it never mattered to him before, so why should it matter now? He averted his gaze as he looked off the side while rubbing the side of his neck. She was definitely acting strange. She knew that he messed up...so why was she saying such things now? He didn't feel quite deserving of making another happy and if he had to be honest. He wasn't sure if he can make someone else happy again. He'd probably mess it up again.

Shota watched her stand up and began to leave. He lifted a brow. Sighing, Shota stood up, placing some bills down on the table. Walking out after her, Shota spoke up, "huh? What do you mean? You brought me out here. You should take responsibility and take me home." He gave her a blank look before reaching out and gently ruffling her hair. "Or what? You gonna say no?" He smirked down at her. She was acting strange, yes. But...somehow seeing her sigh made him move. Ah...what the hell was he even doing?

Namie poured the tea into three cups as she thought back to Denki's reaction. His face was completely red. She giggled as she smiled down at the cups. Hm...perhaps she did tease him too much...but his reaction, it wasn't a bad one, right? Did that mean he was being conscious of her? Hopefully...just maybe she has a chance? Ah, but how can she compare to Ruka? Namie thought back to Ruka and her powerful quirk...she was nothing like Ruka. If anything the two were complete opposites. Namie held back a sigh as she smiled. Well...it didn't hurt to try. Shaking aside her lingering thoughts, Namie took the tray of drinks as she had a feeling Denki may have just spilled some hotcakes in her room. Holding back a laugh, she entered her room to see Eijiro smirking while Denki's face was red.

Blinking, Namie smiled over at Denki as she tilted her head. Hm? Oh? He was still willing to help out even after all that she did? Does that mean he was okay with them? Namie smiled as she set down the tray on the table in the middle of the room as she spoke up, "ah, that would be great. But are you sure? I can clean them up, you and Eijiro-kun can just enjoy the treat." But...perhaps she can have a little bit more fun? Eijiro grinned as he waved his hand, "you can clean up after we eat this~! Denki can help ya!" Namie blinked a few times but she nodded her head as she sat down. "Alright, if you two insist."

As the three ate the hotcakes in her room, they began to play some games as well. Namie watched Eijiro and Denki play, her sitting beside Denki. Once they finished eating up, Namie picked up the plates and cups, "do any of you want a refill? I'll go get some." She can probably just clean the dishes while she was at it. Eijiro nudged Denki when Namie left the room, "dude! Go and help her!" He hid his smirk, hoping that Namie can get a second chance. Maybe this time Denki will take the hint? "Oh and don't forget, it's polite to lick them back." He smirked over at Denki, hoping the blonde would fall for that.

Genkai Genkai
 
Toshinori looked quite shocked. Hrm. Maybe this wasn't a good idea? But maybe he wouldn't be too mad at her? After all, he was probably waiting around for his soulmate to enter his life. She opened her mouth apologize, even though she wasn't sure the words would come so freely, but found him pulling her close to him. A flood of heat attacked her cheeks as she rested her arms around his slim form, trying to keep her thoughts untangled as she felt a sea of nerves attack her chest. Was she sure? She thought so. As much as it hurt to think about Shota-kun, it would be rather pointless to pine after Toshinori and sentence herself to misery because she couldn't speak up.

Staring up at him, she found his lips press to hers briefly before he seemed to fall backwards onto the couch in one seamless motion. She bent over him, beginning to panic that something was wrong with him. Was this too much for him? Getting up from the couch, she moved his legs and propped them up so he was laying down more comfortably. She let out a nervous grumble as she put a hand to his forehead. He was burning up! But then again, she was too. She felt rather guilty about sending him into some kind of state of shock but otherwise he ws okay. Mela gave him a worried look as she figured something cool might help them both. "I'll um be right back."

Heading off to get them both some water, as well as a cool washcloth for Toshinori, she soon came back and sat on the floor next to him, a bit worried she might make things worse if she got too close to him heh. "So you do wanna go out?" She asked him, placing the cloth on his forehead as she eyed him, her blush still quite present on her face. Mela still wasn't sure if it was too soon but after what happened at her party and on I Island, she didn't think it was right to keep denying how she felt or dragging her feet further. She still wanted to murder Momiji though. "W-whenever you're free~" She said, getting the impression he may want to take things slow which was totally fine with her.

He acted quite different than she kissed Shota. Well actually, Toshinori acted very similarly to when Shota kissed her after their match behind the gym. She blushed slightly, knowing she couldn't compare one to the other. She had to enjoy those memories but not let them impair the ones she had yet to make with Toshinori. Though she felt terrible about how stunned he seemed but he wasn't in need of actual medical attention right? Maybe he was just worn out from using his bulky form excessively today. Mela didn't want to think it was her who had caused such a cute but also worrisome reaction. How would he act if she tried something a lot more bold...? Still, Mela hoped Shota didn't think she broke up with him to get with Toshinori, no. She needed space to think things out and she believed her heart was tugging her toward Toshinori. It was becoming very hard to ignore so why fight it? But she knew she had to be careful and aware of everyone else this would affect. Starting with Toshi. "I'm sorry I...surprised you." She smiled weakly.

Shoto waved a hand at her offer, it was fine, he didn't really mind heh. He was glad she could enjoy it. The only sweet thing he really craved was Ruka, nothing else really did it for him. Shoto stiffened at the idea of a formal outing. What did that entail exactly? He blinked a few times, wishing he could just have Ruka to himself but with the exchange students buzzing around and needing more help in other areas non applicable to academics, that seemed unlikely with each passing day. "Um..." Shoto gave Ruka a look, not at all sure why they would want to do that but then it slowly dawn on him why such a venue might be conducive to what Ruka was trying to accomplish.

"I suppose we could." Shoto relented as he looked to the purple haired Sohma next to him. Yuki gave it the same amount of thought but his mind hadn't gone right to the idea of romance and instead went to the logistics. Would they be going out tonight or tomorrow? Did they have the proper attire? Shoto knew that look as it was one he often wore himself. Shoto awkwardly placed a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Tonight should be fine right? Or tomorrow. But not Friday, we do have our rematches to consider getting ready for." Shoto said, deciding they should make a plan before either Yuki or Honda backed out.

And this could still be a good date night for Ruka and himself. He had been on a strange double date with Uede and Aizawa and then Yukito was there too. That was weird and he didn't look to repeat that at all. Ever. Yukito killed any romance and Shoto decided to think about someone else. Ruka was by far the better, more appealing Kurotsuki. Yuki looked to Tohru, not sure if that worked for her or not. The girl looked to Ruka. "We may need to borrow some clothes." Tohru began to say, giving Ruka an apologetic look for suggesting something that she hadn't really thought all the way through.

Yuki was sure he'd be getting something from Shoto though the boy with dual quirks did have slightly more broad shoulders and muscles so Yuki hoped he could find something. If anything, a plain button down shirt would work and he could use a pair of black slacks from his own school uniform. In the back of his mind, he was sure if his older brother caught wind of such a night out, he would take the train right over and bombard him and Honda-san with so many outfits that they'd never get a chance to even go out. But this was surely an outing as friends right? "So this was your idea?" He asked Tohru who blushed and made a face, "I...I understand if we should just go back and study." She began to say. "No no, it's a fine idea. And Kurotsuki-san and Todoroki-san are happy to join us." Yuki assured her as he smiled to Ruka, thankful she was doing this for them. He really was indebted to her graciousness. "Tonight works for me." Yuki confirmed finally. "But where should we go, or meet at?" Yuki asked. Shoto looked to Ruka, "We could go Italian or French?" Shoto looked to his girlfriend. Whatever the girls liked, the guys would go along heh.

- - -

Aizawa was hardly a failure who messed things up. He was a bit too cautious for his own good. But even if he done things a bit different with Uede, Ayumi didn't think the outcome would be any different. She wished she could knock some real sense into his head without risk of killing him. She glared as he added his own money to the tab. She thought this was her treat? Argh. Now she had to take him out somewhere else since they had seemingly split the bill, though both wound up paying the full amount so go figure there. But she said nothing, not going to get into a fight over who paid. It's not like they were together so Aizawa had plenty of freedom to do as he pleased heh.

Ayumi clenched her broom and stopped before taking off, surprise the guy wanted her to fly him somewhere. So she was a taxi service? Oh, how she spoiled him. "Responsibility?" She scoffed. Like he was one to talk there. She was surprised by him patting her head. He did that was students, mostly Uede she noticed. She held her tongue, certain he didn't think of her as some kid like Uede. "Yeah, I could say no." She replied to Aizawa, tempted just to fly off only because he asked her to fly him back to his place. But she would be nice, because he had been nice to her, for a very brief moment in time.

"Fine, it would be quite impolite for a hero to leave someone in need." She winked. She waited for him to put her arms around her before she levitated off the ground, carrying them off to his place. Ayumi pressed her lips together as she tried to ignore the nagging thoughts in her head. How would Aizawa react if Uede did move forward? Would he do the same or would he sink further into his pit of self-pity? She stayed quiet, wanting to think he might pull through. Landing in front of his door, she let him off but remained hoovering. "You weren't supposed to pay." She blurted out. "You said coffee was my treat but you paid too." She said. If it was a build-in excuse to hang out again, she'd use it to her advantage. "So you're not off the hook for...being nice today." Ayumi told him, letting him know she still felt she owed him. She then landed on the ground. "Your apartment was totally a mess when I visited last, I'll clean it for you and we're even." She offered. That was a practical way to repay him and he'd probably prefer it to getting drinks somewhere.

Denki was currently considering if he should hide in the bathroom. He had no idea what to do and of course Eijiro was no help at all. Was Namie interested in him? No, she was just teasing him for fun. Denki glanced to his friend who assured Namie that Denki could in fact help. Denki gave the girl another nod. "Yeah we're guests, we should be helping you more." He said, giving Eijiro a look, beginning to wonder why his friend wasn't also being teased. It made Denki nervous but also happy. But nervous. Very nervous. He wondered if Kyoka-san would be able to help him when it came to understanding women.

Of course it wasn't just that they were guests, Denki wanted to help because it was in his nature to raise his hand, even if it sounded hard and he'd complain half the time, he still wanted to help others. Drinking some tea, they snacked and soon played a bit of video games. It almost seemed like Eijiro was going a bit easy on Denki but Denki didn't think much of it, just glad to win a few races. When Namie got up to take things downstairs, Denki was in the middle of a fighting match against Eijiro who nudged him to go help her. But not after this match? He sighed and got up. Eijiro was right.

"Wha-I'm not doing that!" Denki whined, not sure if Eijiro was joking or not. The very notion of licking and then...suggestive lollipops was enough to make Denki short circuit right then and there. He took a deep breath and headed down to see what Namie needed him to do. He moved into the kitchen and stood beside her, trying not to feel too nervous. Dishes were something he could totally handle. "Thanks again for the hotcakes. They were super good, really hit the spot." He found himself thinking she'd make a good wife and mother to someone someday. He gulped at those thoughts as he began to help dry the dishes she was cleaning. With his shocking quirk, he didn't think it was safe for him to be handling water. "So I was talking to some of the guys in our class and they'd be down for a BBQ Sunday if that's okay with you? We could even sneak into the UA pool." He grinned mischievously. That would be a good way for Namie-chan to unwind right? It hadn't yet occurred to him he may be able to see her in a cute swim suit eheh. No way would Mineta be invited, sorry buddy.

AiAi AiAi
 
Well, that was beyond embarrassing. Toshinori mustered up the courage to kiss Mela, but as the reality of it hit him, he just felt faint all of a sudden. By no means was it him overusing his muscle form. No no, he was still good on that, but it was more like his brain just fried up for a brief moment. His entire body felt hot as he blushed. Ahhhh! Why did he just do that!? Well...her lips were very soft and nice, but he shouldn't have done that...right? But then she mentioned how she does want to go on a date with him...he felt himself being laid down onto the couch. Ah, now he was making her worried! Stupid Toshinori! How can you do this!?

As he was mentally berating himself for everything, Mela disappeared. He didn't even have to look to know she wasn't beside him. The warmth he felt whenever Mela was around was gone. Simple as that. Oh...that sounded creepy huh. Argh, behave Toshinori! Feeling a cool cloth on his forehead, Toshinori opened his eyes and looked over to see it was Mela. He gave her a small smile. She was too sweet! His heart felt all warm and tingly again. When she asked about going out together, Toshinori looked off to the side as he mumbled out, "um well...y-y-yes!" He squeaked it out finally. Breathe Toshinori.... don't go passing out again. Sitting up slowly, he looked back at Mela as she told him it can happen anytime. Anytime? Then...can they go out now? Or was that too impatient of him? But...as he was thinking of when to go out, she apologized. Eh? Why?

He blinked over at her before feeling a blush rise on his cheeks as he couldn't help himself. He pulled her into another hug as he rested his chin on top of her head. Ah, just seeing that smile made his heart so full and warm. Blushing, he pulled back as he realized what he just did, "a-ah sorry...it's just...you were so cute...I couldn't stop myself..." rubbing the back of his head, Toshinori did his best to explain to Mela that he really was interested in her, "I really do want to go out with you...but are you..um..sure? With someone...like me?" She knew his real form, plus wasn't she still hurting from her break up? He didn't want to cause any more problems for her.

- - -

Ruka smiled sweetly back at Shoto. It's been a while for the couple to go out for something formal, but the occasional formal events weren't that bad, right? Minus her family party since Yukito and her step-father were there. Urgh. Plus that meant she can tease Shoto in a dress of her's~! As Shoto accepted, Ruka turned her attention to Yuki as he would be the last one to persuade. Finally, after Yuki realized it was Tohru's idea did he relent. Ruka hid a smirk. Ah, he was a big softie just like Shoto. Ruka blinked over to Tohru as she waved a hand with a smile, "sure thing. I have plenty of dresses you can borrow...I think we're about the same size?" Tohru seemed a tad taller than her, but it should be fine, right? Though the idea of Yuki borrowing Shoto's clothes seemed amusing. Yuki was much more slender than Shoto's more muscular build. Ah, those abs and muscles were all her's. Hehe.

Ah, stop Ruka. Focus. Don't think about Shoto and his delicious abs...ah! Stop! Shaking her head lightly, Ruka turned her attention back to the matter at hand. As Shoto looked to her for ideas, Ruka looked thoughtful as she suggested, "Italian?" French can be a bit difficult since all the names for the plates were a bit harder to read and she didn't want to make Tohru or Yuki uncomfortable. Mainly Tohru, Ruka could tell Yuki had probably some background in such events. Standing up, Ruka glanced at her phone as she said, "I know of a good Italian place. I'll call and make reservations at....seven?" It was around five right now, so a good hour or two should be enough right?

After making the call, Ruka turned to the rest and gave them a thumbs up, "seven pm it is~! Well, then." At this Ruka helped Tohru up as she sent the boys a smirk, mainly directed at Yuki, "I'm going to borrow Honda-san for a bit. Hm, Shoto should we use your car and just meet at my house?" That would probably be for the best? After making their plans, Ruka walked over to Shoto before he left with Yuki. She gave him a brief hug and kissed him on the cheek before whispering into his ear, "want to stay the night?" She gave him a sweet smile before heading off with Tohru to her place. Ruka opened up her closet when they got home and she told Tohru, "what sort of dress would you like to wear?" She had a walk-in closet thanks to a certain designer giving her too many clothes. Seriously, she had way too many dresses for one girl.

- - -

Shota didn't quite care if she gave him a ride home or not. But...he supposed not having to walk around and just get flown to his house in a matter of minutes was a rather nice alternative. He stared down at her as he retracted his hand back. He couldn't help but wonder why he even did that. But upon seeing her wink and say something about a hero, Shota simply rolled his eyes. Why were all the women that he knew troublesome and rebellious? Pushing aside his thoughts, Shota got on the broom and wrapped his arms around her. This time, since he felt a bit tired or maybe that expresso had something in it, but this time he rested his chin on her shoulder deciding to look ahead with her instead of looking down or around while they flew.

As they arrived at his place, Shota rubbed the side of his neck, about to thank her when she suddenly began to fire off at him. Huh? He blinked a few times as he listened to her complain? Or was that scold him? About him not paying for the drink. Ah, oops. Did he do that? It was probably out of habit plus he was joking about it being her treat. But what was she trying to get at here? When she mentioned he wasn't off the hook, Shota couldn't help but lift a brow at that. Huh? What was that? He's never heard of anyone being held accountable for getting treated. Shouldn't they just hope the other doesn't remember so they don't have to actually repay them? Strange woman.

Sighing, he held his hands up in mock surrender as he turned to open the door. "Fine fine...do what you want." He gestured for her to go in as he opened the door for her. Though a twitch of his eye told her that he didn't appreciate her comment about his place being messy. He just didn't have time to clean lately was all...plus there was no need to accidentally stumble upon anything that may belong to Mela. Ah...his room, his entire place had memories of Mela. It haunted him at night at times. "Make it quick then, but don't break anything and no you can't have Mi." Shota told her as he followed her inside.

- - -

As Namie went downstairs, she wondered how she can ever get the attention of Denki? Wasn't there anything she can do? She placed the dirty dishes along with the bowls and whisks she used to cook into the sink. She began to wash everything in a slow manner. Ah, maybe it just wasn't meant to be. Maybe Denki only saw her as a friend and nothing else? Frowning, Namie let out a small sigh as she continued to wash the dishes. Though when a voice was heard besides her, Namie jumped in surprise nearly dropping the plate she was holding, "D-Denki-kun! Oh...you don't have to help me you know. You could have just continued playing with Eijiro-kun. It won't take long..." she tried to tell him it was alright, but it somehow ended with him helping her wipe the dishes off. Ah, well she supposed this was nice too. Okay, just being around Denki was nice in general hehe.

She smiled over at him, "it's not a problem at all. I'm glad you enjoyed it hehe." She turned back to the dishes, wondering if she should even try anything on him anymore. He apparently didn't get the hint...ah this was both sweet and frustrating. Sweet that Denki hadn't a clue of her intentions while frustrating because she doesn't typically do these things to get a guy's attention. Well, then again, she never really did show interest in guys. They usually came to her if anything. But Namie never really dated anyone seriously. Heck, she's never kissed a guy either until she had that kiss with Denki.

At the mention of a BBQ, her eyes lit up, "oh yes! That sounds so fun and the pool? Ah, I think I have my swimsuit somewhere..." hopefully she did. If not, maybe he can help her find a new one? Oh, but it has to be a cute swimsuit, not the school swimsuit. Yes! As they finished cleaning all the dishes, Namie smiled over to Denki, "thank you for the help, hero-san." She giggled slightly at the nickname. She wondered if he'll be uncomfortable if she just hugged him? But he was so cute...it's okay, right? Reaching out, Namie wrapped her arms around him as she moved in close to cuddle into his chest. Looking up at him, she gave him a small smile as she said, "recharging time...is this...okay?" Yes, she needed to recharge her energy with Denki's hug so she can pull through the rest of today and tomorrow.

Genkai Genkai
 
Toshinori sitting meant he was okay, which was a relief. Moving to sit back beside him, she found herself being pulled back into his arms. The blush quickly returned as she leaned into his arms. It was short lived however as he pulled back and apologized. Oh jeez ehehe, they were both just a mess of blushing and apologies huh? "Aw...y-you don't have to apologize for thinking I'm cute." She said. Or if that prompting him to hug her. Toshinori was way cuter than she was, Mela quickly realised with a somewhat shy smile. She sat back as he began to ask if going out was really okay. She had been thinking about how she would move on for the past few, rather painful weeks.

She would always Shota's soulmate and that would never change. She'd always care deeply for him but she also knew she couldn't just ignore what she really wanted like she was going to punish herself for the rest of her life. Mela wasn't sure if this was too soon or if she just needed a push from the outside but she did want Toshinori, and had for more than just the past few weeks. She shook her head at his words. She and Toshinori had spent to much time together, of course she wanted him. She cupped his face with her hands, smiling warmly. Gods, he was so cute. But she couldn't deny how much better she felt around him, even before breaking things off with Shota, Toshinori always warmed her heart.

"Yes I am sure." She told him simply. It made perfect sense to her though Mela was still trying to wrap her mind around the fact she had also kissed All Might eheh. Ah, two amazing guys in one. She understood he had doubts though but she wasn't just turning to him because of her breakup. Mela tilted her head, well she could probably try and show him she was sure but it worked better if he didn't threaten to faint. But she wanted to try, even if she didn't deserve someone so sweet, she had to try and see what she and Toshinori could be, right? Mela leaned in and kissed him again, her lips lingering upon his for much longer than the last, her tongue flicking against his lips before she sat back, watching him, mostly worried he might have another reaction heh. "S-see?" Though Mela hoped she wasn't overstepping boundaries, she just thought a more concrete example would be easier.

With Italian being decided upon, Ruka made the reservations while Shoto had to think about what more advice he could give Yuki-san. He really didn't have any but he was sure Honda-san was in good hands. He agreed he could pick everyone up at her apartment later tonight once they were all done getting ready. Ruka walked over before parting and held onto him. His arms automatically moved around her waist but had to left go. He wanted to hold onto her a little while longer. He blushed at her offer. Stay over on a school night? Naughty girl, but he would definitely accept that kind offer of hers. No boyfriend would allow their girlfriend to be left all alone.

He pulled out his phone after Tohru and Ruka headed off to grab the bus back to her place. Shoto motioned for Yuki to follow him back to school so they could drive back to his place. Shoto sent Ruka a quick text: "I'd love to stay the night my dearest Queen. However I don't see us getting much sleep. I hope that's not an issue." He sent to her with a winky face heh. Once back at his place, he was glad his father wasn't around. He didn't want to explain why he had a guest at the house. And his father would probably bother him about where his girlfriend was, even though it wasn't any of his business. The two boys started to rummage through his closet, trying to find something for Sohma-san.

Meanwhile, Tohru was glad to be given help from Ruka. If Kagura was here, she would also be giving the shy girl help as well but Tohru had no qualms putting her fate in Kurotsuki-san's hands. She looked at the apartment. It was very spacious and lovely. Tohru had to resist the urge to wander off as she followed Ruka back to her closet. "Wow. You must go to a lot of parties." She noted, nervously twisting her hard in her finger. She had to assume UA had a lot of fancy get togethers for its students. "S-something modest would be nice." She said but then paused. "What do you think would look best? What were you thinking of wearing? We could either match or wear something different on purpose?" She asked her. "Thank you so much for doing all of this, you and Todoroki-san are too kind." Tohru said to Ruka, bowing her head. "How can I ever repay you?"

The universe would know if Ayumi never paid her debts. She couldn't have that hanging over her head. Plus she had taken his teasing comment very seriously so for him to pay was almost an insult. She could pay for him just fine! So in order to make things even once again, she knew she'd have to do something for him or risk him making fun of her for sleeping or not thanking him. No no, she wasn't going to allow Aizawa to turn this around on her. She would repay him, whether he wanted it or not! She headed inside and looked around. How was he going to get another cute girlfriend with his place looking like a sad bachelor pad?

Well it wasn't that bad but still, she couldn't imagine him enjoying such clutter. Ayumi placed her hands on her hips and looked to Aizawa, almost going to demand he help so she could show him to tidy up. It wasn't that difficult, surely someone like him could be taught? But she didn't because this was her thanking him for being nice so she would be nice by holding her tongue about his habits. "But Mi and Nazo would be sooo cuuute together." Ayumi told him firmly as she walked over and began to pick up blankets and fold them before placing them on the back of the couch before she grabbed a towel and began to quickly go over everything, getting the dust off the table and tv stand.

"I'm surprised you're not mandating I clean in a maid outfit." She teased, thinking back to the story she heard from Uraraka-san regarding 3-A having some kind of maid and butler cafe which ensured they had the dance last month. UA was very strange. Ayumi headed over to the kitchen o clean up there. "You know, cleaning can be very therapeutic." She told him. "It lets your mind free and it gives you a very short, clear goal and when you're done, you feel so much better when you're done. And...if you ever brought another girl back here, she'd be pretty impressed." She quietly added the last part. Did she want him doing that? Well no...but he did need to think about the future instead of the past. He needed a quick rebound or something. Some kind of physical release and comfort to clear his head. He couldn't just abstain from love and relationships and sex forever.

Eheh if Namie needed help finding her suit, she had two very helpful young men able bodied and willing to help a girl in need, er find a swimsuit for her. Denki was glad she liked the idea, knowing it would be fun for them to hang out in a group casual setting. But he also wondered if he should just treat Namie by himself at another point in time, for conquering her midterms. He was sure it had been a challenge. Her battle scars were proof of that. So he decided he'd have to do something for her separately somehow. But what? He figured a trip back to the zoo or dog cafe might be good for them to enjoy by themselves. But was that not special enough?

As he finished drying to last of the dishes, he looked to her with a smile. "Aw don't mention it." He was sure Eijiro was fine playing on his own and he rather enjoyed Namie, even if she made him really nervous. It wasn't a bad nervous, it was a bit exhilarating. Almost intoxicating? When she moved her arms around him and pressed her head against his chest, he felt shocks hit him and subsequently her. R-recharging huh? He smiled and moved an arm around her, the other moving to rest atop her head, feeling her soft short locks of hair against his nimble fingers. He could feel his heart racing and was sure she could too.

"Umm y-yeah it's okay." Denki said softly. Namie was always so physically affectionate. He had to wonder if she was like this the other lucky guys at her school. That would make him pretty sad if true. But she wasn't this close with Kirishima so maybe it was just him? Breathing in, he glanced down at her, feeling very comfortable. She fit so well in his arms, it made him oddly happy. He rested his chin on her head as he allowed his body to give off a low dose of energy, hoping it would do the trick, if she really did want to recharge. It would tickle and tingle a bit but she never seemed to complain before so he hoped it was okay. For some reason his body had no intention of moving. "You'll do great tomorrow and Friday and I'll make sure you're healed up if you ever need it." He assured her happily.

AiAi AiAi
 
It was a simple answer for Toshinori. He was quite deeply infatuated with Mela, dare he call it love? He wasn't sure, well he was but he didn't want to know for now. He was afraid of his own answer. Afraid of what his frail desired. He knew Mela would always be special to him whether she was his soulmate or not. He would always care for her, but....but it doesn't mean he has to be the one making her happy. No no. His feelings ran far deeper than just wanting to be the one to make her happy. Of course, Toshinori would be honored and beyond elated if he was the one to make her happy and smile, but if there was someone else out there that Mela chose herself to make her happy...then there was no reason why Toshinori should hold her back. No, that was why when he found out that Mela was seeing Aizawa, Toshinori was able to pull through. Because he just wanted her to be happy. Simple as that. Even if he wasn't the one making her smile...as long as he can see that she is safe and happy, there wasn't anything else he wanted.

But...but if. If he was allowed to be the one to make her happy, then Toshinori would be the happiest man on Earth! Yes! He'd be the happiest there ever is! Yet at the same time, his heart was quivering as he wondered if he was able to face his feelings head on? Can he admit to them to her? Can he make sure he can cherish her and keep her happy? What if he makes her cry? No no...that won't do. As he looked over at Mela, wondering if she was having second thoughts, he heard her clear and firm tone. Was that a yes...? He could feel his heart slowly rising as he looked at her with wide eyes. Was she...really...? No...he shouldn't get his hopes up...but...she seemed quite certain of what she was saying. And certainly they were both on the same page here about the conversation...right?

Ah, what was he getting happy for? She wouldn't pick him over her own soulmate...right? As Toshinori was about to clarify with her on everything, she leaned forward and kissed him once again. Though this time he felt her moist tongue sliding against his mouth and now he really couldn't think straight. But that was definitely a kiss, not one of accident...and definitely not one between friends. More like...friends don't kiss, right? Oh, he hoped not because now he really can't hold back. Staring into her eyes as she pulled back, Toshinori gulped before he pulled her back against him, hugging her tightly. "Mela-chan...if you do something like that...I...even I won't be able to hold back..." his words were whispered softly into her ear as he hugged her close. Ah...she could probably hear his heart beating like crazy, right? Looking down at her, he leaned in close before stopping an inch apart from her lips. Staring into her eyes, Toshinori spoke up softly, "may I kiss you...?" He thought it would be rude to just kiss her. A gentleman must always ask permission...right?

As Ruka boarded the bus along with Tohru, she felt her phone buzz alive. Curious, she glanced down to see it was from Shoto. She blushed a bit at his message, but with a slight grin she replied back to her lover: 'I wouldn't want it any other way.' She gave her own winky face back at him before adding teasingly, 'can't wait to eat you up tonight. Hehe.' Oh yes, she did love it when Shoto dressed up. He just looked so good in a suit and tie. She'll just have to look just as good for her lover. As they arrived at her place, Ruka led Tohru inside before stopping at her walk-in closet. Gesturing to all her dresses, Ruka can only give Tohru a small smile.

Rubbing the back of her neck, she explained to Tohru, "oh. Uh well, it's more like my family...I was forced to go to parties...that and well my brother is a designer..." Ruka mumbled the last part more to herself than to Tohru. At the brunette's question, Ruka looked thoughtful as she sorted through her dresses. Hm, something modest? Well, most of Ruka's dresses weren't too revealing...most. Since it was for a nice restaurant, she didn't want to throw something super fancy at Tohru, but something definitely not casual. Looking through her dresses, Ruka decided on this one since it wasn't too fancy nor was it super casual. She never really wore it herself as she found it way too cute looking for herself, but perhaps for Tohru, it would look good?

Holding it out in front of her, Ruka smiled as she murmured out, "what do you think? I think this one would look very well on you." Hm and as for herself...Ruka's eyes scanned the dresses, spotting the recent one Yukito mailed over to her. Ah, well now might as well be the best time to try it out. She can't recall what party may be coming up next, but for now, she can tease er show Shoto her new dresses that she received. Surely, he'll have something to tell her later? As the two girls got dressed, with Ruka styling Tohru's hair up cutely, they waited for the boys to arrive. Until then, Ruka made some tea for Tohru and handed her a cup as she asked the brunette, "are you nervous?" She smiled down at Tohru as she sat next to the brunette. "You look great Honda-san...and honestly, no need to repay me. A hero helps those out whenever, whereever...right?" She winked at the girl before standing up as she heard the door. "Ah, they must be here..." Ruka walked over to open the door. She gave Shoto a sweet smile before gesturing for Tohro to come forth for Yuki to see.

Shota followed Ayumi into his home, Mi immediately coming over to greet the two. His eye twitched as he noted Mi to be quite happy upon seeing Ayumi. Hey now, don't get happy seeing a Witch like her. Holding back a sigh, Shota watched as Ayumi began to fold the blankets and clean up his living room. His place wasn't that messy...right? He stiffened slightly when she mentioned a maid outfit. He looked over at her, rubbing the side of his neck as he averted his gaze, "who told you that....?" He knew it had to be one of his students. Urgh, being dressed in a butler outfit was not something he had fond memories of. The only good memory of that time was Mela in her kitty maid outfit. That was about it. Ah, there he goes again...thinking about Mela. But those times were fun...except for when those perverted geezers hit on...no...shaking his head, Shota turned his attention to Ayumi. No, Mela wasn't his anymore.

He leaned against the wall as he crossed his arms, "it almost sounds like you want to see me in my butler outfit." His eyes looked amused as a small smirk tugged at his lips. Was that what she was wanting? Because as annoying as it might be, he was given the butler outfit to keep. Yukito saying something about not wanting what he wore...that jerk. Pushing aside his now brooding thoughts, Shota turned to watch Ayumi clean around the place. She worked rather quickly and she was cleaning his place up rather nicely. He turned to watch her clean his kitchen. At the mention of cleaning being therapeutic, Shota let out a scoff, "maybe for you it is. I find fighting crime to be rather therapeutic." He smirked at that. Yes...that was very stress relieving.

At the mention of bringing a girl home, Shota shook his head. "I don't know why people keep thinking I bring home girls...." his eye twitched as he knew Hizashi was one to assume he brought home girls and slept with them. He wasn't a playboy for crying out loud! But that he thought about it...."actually, I think I only ever brought you and Uede to my place..." ah yes...he wasn't one to indulge in his past girlfriends wishes about seeing his place. He was the one to go over to their place if anything. He found no need to bring them to his place. Guess it showed how much he thought of the relationship. Ah, but Ayumi? Well...she did take care of Mi and well she learned of where he lived from there and then she was kind of pushy...so he'll just put it that she invited herself in. But he didn't mind her coming over to his place he supposed.

By now, Namie was quite used to Denki's little shocks. It tickled her if anything, but the shocks were nothing. Perhaps it was due to her higher pain tolerance thanks to her quirk, but she found his bouncing shocks to be quite harmless. It never hurt her and she found it tickled instead. She smiled when he wrapped his arm around her, her cheeks growing warm as she felt his other hand on her head. Ah...this felt really nice. If Eijiro came in right now, Namie may just have to knock the boy out just so she can enjoy some more time with Denki. Her arms wrapped a bit more tightly around Denki as she didn't want to let go just yet...and from how it seemed like, Denki didn't seem to want to let go either. That was a good thing, right?

She wasn't quite physically affectionate per say, but when Namie likes someone, she isn't the type to stay quiet about it either. She'll drop hints and be quite obvious, but it seems like with Denki, it'll be a tough one. He was too pure and kind-hearted, Namie almost felt bad about making moves on him. Almost. But no no, she liked him a lot and she wanted to be with him as more than friends. She won't give up that easily! Though a part of her was still uncertain of how Denki feels. He seemed quite stuck on Ruka and well, Namie can't blame him really. The girl was the typical pretty girl with a wealthy background. Plus she had a powerful and flashy quirk, certainly, guys liked those kinds of girls more? Ah, but she really can't say much since she doesn't know Ruka too well. That and she didn't want to ask Denki about Ruka. It'll probably hurt Namie more than it is an insightful thing.

Feeling a soft tingling sensation bounce off of Denki towards her body, Namie closed her eyes, enjoying the closeness and warmth. Ah, that felt really good. Was that his quirk? Nuzzling further into him, she peeked up at him when he mentioned the rest of her mid-terms. She smiled at his kindness and encouragement. With Denki cheering her on, she felt like she could take on anyone! At the mention of healing her, Namie's eyes lit up. Smiling up at him, Namie's arms snaked up to wrap around his neck, pulling him down slightly to her height. She whispered into his ear, "well then, want to try healing me right now? As a practice of sorts?" She smiled as her lips brushed against the shell of his ear. Pulling back, she gave him a sweet smile as she said, "I'd like your healing kiss please~" Preferably on the lips. Hehe. She felt quite direct and bold, but...she had to be this obvious with Denki, otherwise, she was sure he wouldn't get any of her hints.

Genkai Genkai
 
If Toshinori required a more detailed conversation, she would have to have it. But she was sure if they did, Shota's name would come up a few times for obvious reasons. She knew he was her soulmate, she wasn't about to forget that but to her, Shota was her soulmate. He was someone she connected with so well and cared for. But that said, she didn't feel like he was 'the one' in the grand scheme of things. He was damn close but he just wasn't the person she knew she was going to marry and do all of the fun dumb married things together. It sounded silly to look so far ahead because it was hard to tell but her gut told her the reasons she was unhappy were valid and nothing against Shota or herself.

Shota would be happier with someone else more attune to him. And Mela's heart was telling her to reach out for this blond pro hero and it was getting too loud to ignore. It was a little worrying he wasn't picking up on these obvious hints. Did she need to call Momiji to come over? Heh. But perhaps he didn't have much experience kissing or making out with someone? Though she had to wonder how someone like All Might or Toshinori could go through life without someone trying to jump them. Her theories were put to a stop when she felt him pull her back into his arms. That was a good sign right? A blush spread throughout her body at his whispered words.

Ah...she was rather curious now. Was that a bad thing? Mela looked to Toshinori, her eyes fluttering as she tried to read his face and eyes. What was he thinking about? Her? Her hands moved around him, able to feel his heartbeat, it was quite similar to her own. As he leaned down,he stopped himself and Mela felt her heart ache as she wondered what was wrong. Oh, he wanted permission? She thought about the question and nodded slightly. "Yes...please do." She whispered back. She moved a hand up to loop around his neck, her fingers brushing against his golden locks. Though he'd have to find out eventually, she wasn't always such a lady hehe. Was this too much too fast? No, it felt right. Really right. She wasn't using Toshinori. She had wanted him for far too long and since they were going to go on a date, at some point, was this bad? No, it was quite consensual on both sides. Who said there was a strict order of things when courting someone anyway? In her mind, she waited a long enough as it was. Maybe she could cook for him? Yeah that might nice. She recalled Ruka doing that for Todoroki and look at them now! She'll have to suggest it to him.

Taking the pink dress from Ruka, she looked it over. The neckline was tasteful so that made Tohru comfortable. Though it was short. Tohru decided given the weather, it was better than something long or too formal. "Thank you, Kurotsuki-san." Tohru bowed her head again. She went off to change while Ruka had selected a black and red dress. It was long but short in some ways and revealed her legs. It was a very flirty dress and Tohru was sure Todoroki-san would approve of it. She had to hope Yuki enjoyed her dress. But Tohru thought it was cute and as long as she was comfortable, then she would be confident too. Right?

Once the girls were changed, Tohru sat around and chatted with Ruka lightly Tohru was nervous but told herself she had to do her best and to figure out how she felt about Sohma-kun. What did it mean to like someone and when did it lean over into loving them? She was thankful for Ruka's help doing her hair, to which Tohru helped Ruka with her own. Taking a sip of her tea, she nodded. "I...I am nervous, yes. But I'll do my best." She smiled. She had to wonder if Ruka ever got nervous around Todoroki-san or if it was more anxious to see him? She got up as Ruka went to answer the door. Both boys entered and Tohru's locked onto Yuki.

Yuki had on a white suit with a light purple button shirt, no tie. Meanwhile Shoto had on a dark grey suit with a red button down shirt, no tie. Both boys' shirts had the first two buttons undone and looked ready to go. Yuki eyed Tohru in her pink cocktail dress and held his breath. He then looked to Ruka and her own more bold choice in dress. "You both look gorgeous." Yuki said, a smile warming up his face. Shoto moved over to Ruka, not wanting Yuki to stare too much at his girlfriend. Shoto leaned down and took the ungloved hand and kissed it sweetly before he trailed kisses up along her arm to her shoulder and finally to her ear. "You expect me to keep my hands to myself when you're dressed like this?" He muttered darkly into her ear. "You're testing my patience, baby girl." He flicked his tongue out to trace her inner earlobe before he stepped back and ushered them all into the car down in the parking lot. The drive to the Italian restaurant was quick. Shoto and Ruka were up front, with Yuki and Honda in the back. "You both look beautiful tonight." Shoto commented as he pulled up to a stoplight, giving Ruka a smirk. She looked very beautiful. If only he could have her now.

- - -

She gave a hum, not about to rat out the students who gave her entertaining stories to mull over when she had free time. The boys were so easy to charm and coax out stories of Hizashi and Aizawa and All Might. At the mention of her wanting to see Aizawa in his butler outfit, she made a slightly thoughtful face. Eh she didn't think a submissive butler really suited him. Ayumi had a feeling he didn't care much for it. "Butlers aren't really my type." She assured him. Sure they served others but that was so boring. Where was the fun there? Maybe a vampire butler? Though she had to quietly think Aizawa would make for a very sexy warlock. Oh yes, he would be very sexy as a warlock.

Oh the magic and mischief they could create~ "You just like punching villains." She teased him when he said fighting was sort of therapeutic for him. Of course she liked hitting idiots with her broom and seeing them crash into things. Heheh. Ayumi looked to Aizawa when he voiced distaste for people assuming he brought girls home. She frowned. He didn't get it? Seriously? "Well I think people make the assumption that an attractive guy has gotta be bringing home girls." She shrugged. Surely he knew how good looking he was. Surely Uede told him that at least a few times? Ayumi finished up the kitchen and bent down to give the lingering Mi a few pets.

Just her and Uede huh? Ayumi knew she and other burnette had been invited for different reasons. Still, Ayumi felt a little happy no other silly girls had come sniffing around his apartment, save for cats. Standing up, she folded her arms. She assumed he didn't want her going into his bedroom but she wouldn't mind poking around if he wanted her to. "So is that all you'd like me to take care of, Aizawa? Then we're even." She hid a smirk. One of these days he'd actually invite her back to her place for real instead of her just pushing her way in for one lame excuse or another. One of these days, he'd see she was a nice girl. Er nice enough. The wait for that to happen was torture though. Hopefully the more he talked about Uede, the more he could start to feel comfortable moving forward. "How about your bedroom~?" Aw Ayumi couldn't help herself. Of course she didn't expect him to let her in there but one could dream right? It's not like she was going to pin him to the bed or anything like that. Well she wanted to but she wouldn't. Ayumi was sure he was close to just kicking her out anyway, why no give him an excuse to do so?

- - -

Though Denki lacked an actual healing quirk like Medical Girl or Namie-chan, he could administer first aid at least. He noticed her shining smile and he hoped his words had given her some sort of reassurance or encouragement. He felt a bit useless when it came to making others feel better but he thought back to I Island and how hard things had been for them and how he may have kissed her. That night was a little hazy to him but he thought he may have kissed her. But neither said anything so maybe he had just been imagining things in the stress of trying not to die? Though it was an event he did think back to. Namie seemed to make his life all the more fun and adventurous.

Namie began to pull his head a bit closer to hers. Ah what was she doing? Was there something on his face? She leaned in closer and he felt his heart stop as her lips diverted and went to his ear. Heal her now? Practice? The words were very slow to reach his fuzzy brain as he bit the inside of his mouth, trying not to let out a noise when he realized her lips had grazed his ear. Somehow he thought it felt nice, a little ticklish almost. He looked to her, blinking a few times, his mind trying to hastily piece together all of these puzzle pieces. Ah she wanted him to try healing her? But kiss her? Like before? No no no Denki, this was different, think!

This was very different. His face was a deep beet red as he stared at her. Did she like him? Well like, more than friends? Before he could consider that possibility, he decided to just do something she had explicitly said she wanted. Eijiro told him to be a good guest right? His heart was nervously thudding against his chest as he stared into those hypnotizing eyes of hers. Without saying anything, mostly because he didn't trust his voice, he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, kissing her firmly on the lps. His hands stayed where they were but tightened around her as he broke the kiss before he finally listened to his male instincts. Leaning in, he kissed her again, deciding to use his tongue as she had, tracing it along the bottom and edges of her lips. Her lips were even softer than they looked. Hopefully this was helping? Because it was an eye opening experience for him too. He really liked holding her and kissing her. And being able to see that smile of hers. Yes. His mind hadn't been wandering to Ruka very often when he was around Namie and now if she brought up his classmate, he might struggle with identifying her eheh.

AiAi AiAi
 
Was this really happening? Toshinori found it hard to believe that the girl his heart was set on was now reciprocating his feelings. Was this all just a teasing dream to him? Or perhaps some villain who can create illusions? No no, this was real...he was just getting paranoid and doubting things. After all, there was no reason why Mela would like him over anyone else really. He wasn't that great and on top of it all, she knew who he really was. She knew him not just as All Might, but also as Toshinori Yagi...so to hear her say such things and do such things...it was all too much for the lanky blonde. But, if this was really just a dream, then he hoped he would never wake up from it.

Hearing her soft reply, confirming his question, Toshinori moved his hand to place it against her cheek, softly cradling her face as he stared into her chocolate orbs. Ah, he could practically feel himself melting into those mesmerizing eyes of her's. Erk, now he sounded really cheesy. Trying not to get too nervous, Toshinori closed his eyes as he leaned forward and closed what little gap remained between them. His lips pressed softly against Mela's, finding her lips to be quite soft and plump. Pressing a bit more firmly against her lips, he moved his mouth against her's, his tongue shyly reaching out to swipe at her lips before retreating back inside his mouth. Ah, was that too bold of him to do? But...he really can't think straight and now his body was moving on its own.

Arms wrapping more around her securely, Toshinori pulled her closer to him as his mouth moved against her's. He was worried that maybe he was pushing his luck and soon enough she'll snap out of it and push him away. But for now...he pleaded silently for her to just let him enjoy this moment. It was a dream come true and honestly, he wished it would never end. Breaking the kiss for much-needed air, Toshinori stared into her soft hues as he murmured her name out in a low and raspy voice, "Mela..." he paused, unsure if he should even tell her how much he cared for her. That he...loved her...?

- - -

She honestly had no idea what Yukito was even thinking when he designed this dress for her. It was pink for crying out loud and what did she have? Pink hair! Yukito went on and on about her in all pink making her look like an angel...yeah, she stopped listening to him after he opened his mouth. Smiling, Ruka told her, "you'll look very cute in it, I'm sure." For herself, Ruka chose out one of Yukito's latest design. It was a bit more revealing compared to what she gave Tohru, but Ruka thought it was fairly decent compared to some other designs that Yukito made her try out before. She changed into her red and black cocktail dress which had a longer black layer over her short red cocktail dress. It was sleeveless and hugged her curves rather nicely, but the black ruffle layer covered most of her legs except for the front which revealed her pale skin. The inside of her layered skirt was wine red matching her main dress. She pulled on a wine red glove that went up to her elbow onto her left arm.

The dress itself had shining jewels on it while she wore a red ribbon choker on her neck. Really, Yukito had a thing with her and chokers, though Ruka wasn't about to mention this to Shoto. She wasn't sure what Shoto would do if he realized that. Wearing soft yellow heels to finish off her dark-colored outfit, Ruka turned to see Tohru in the dress. She smiled as she told the brunette, "you look so cute in it! You know what, you can have that dress if you like, Honda-san. I insist. You look far better in that than I ever would be." That was the truth. As the girls chatted for a bit while waiting for their dates Ruka smiled over at Tohru, "you'll be just fine...just be yourself really." She was certain Yuki would enjoy Tohru just as she was.

When the boys arrived, Ruka had to admit Yuki did look quite good when wearing a suit. Oh, the magic that a suit does to a man. Heh. But he looked too princely. Hah. She gave Yuki a kind smile as she told him, "thanks, you too Yuki-san." She turned to Shoto as he came walking up to her. She smiled as he kissed her hand though as the kisses trailed all the way up her arm to her ear, Ruka shifted slightly. Ah, not now Shoto...otherwise she'll make a noise and then she'd just have to drag him into her room. But they can't keep Yuki and Tohru waiting, right? Ehe. When Shoto whispered into her ear, Ruka shivered slightly...good thing she asked him to stay the night. Heh. She gave Shoto a teasing smile as she trailed her hand down his chest as she fixed his tie slightly, "you look handsome Shoto." Taking his hand, they went to his car. Ruka gave him a teasing smile back in the car. Oh, he was such a tease. Soon enough the four arrived at the restaurant where they were directed to their table. Looking around, Ruka noted it to be quite fancy and nice. Ah, there was even a dance floor on the first floor. Perfect. Heh. Looking down at the menu, Ruka asked everyone, "what are you guys going to get?" She was eyeing the alfredo pasta at the moment herself.

- - -

He lifted a brow. Was he asking her if she had a thing for butlers...? Did his question sound like it? Well, sort of he supposed. But honestly, with Ayumi Shota had a feeling that she wasn't into submissive guys...or well, he supposed one will never know. He was a lot more...wild when it came to making love unlike his lazy outlook on life otherwise. Heh. He was a bit surprised when she said that he was attractive. Not many told him that and honestly, he was always disbelieving if someone did, in fact, say that he is good looking. He shrugged it off as he told her, "uh huh, though not many would say that I am attractive." Plain and simple really. He had a rugged appearance especially with his long and messy hair and then his facial hair. Yeah, he can look almost like a lazy bum if anything.

Running a hand through his hair, Shota looked around the place to note that it was much cleaner than before. Hm, she didn't do a bad job actually. He watched her pet Mi silently. Why does his cat like her? Then again, he did sort of entrust Mi to Ayumi when he went away for a bit...he supposed that was probably why...? Urgh. Looking back at her, he nodded his head. Yeah, she did a good job. He wasn't about to just entrust her to do his laundry...no no. Somehow an image of his boxers turning out pink came floating to mind and no thank you. He was not about to let her do that. Though when he was about to tell her that she was free to go...she mentioned his bedroom. Ah...his bedroom?

Glancing over at the closed door, Shota looked thoughtful for a moment before shrugging. Moving over, he opened the door and stood to the side, "if you insist then sure." He wasn't about to pass up on cleaning his entire place plus there really wasn't anything he was hiding. Ah, those cat ears...he'll have to get rid of them. It belonged to Mela and Shota wasn't about to keep anything of her's...it would be too painful of a memory for him to do that. He eyed her for a moment before sighing as he told her, "you really shouldn't just go inviting yourself into a man's room like that...you should be more careful." Pro hero or not, she was still very much a woman and he couldn't help but worry that any other guy would probably take advantage of her entering their room. He wouldn't, but other guys aren't like him.

- - -

Namie stared hopefully up at him while keeping her smile in place. It was worth a try and even if he refused kissing her, she hoped things will stay the same between them? It'll hurt Namie if they were no longer friends. That thought alone made her sad, but no...she knew that wouldn't happen. Denki was too kind so surely they would stay close friends, at least? Ah, but she knew what she really wanted. Seeing him freeze and stare at her with a deep blush covering his entire face, Namie wondered if she broke him? Did she push her luck too far? Hopefully, he didn't just short circuit though even if he did, she would heal him instantly. But as he seemed to have snapped out of it, Namie wondered if she should just tell him she was joking?

Before she can reconsider things, she felt a soft but firm press against her lips. Her teal hues stared wide-eyed at Denki as he kissed her on the lips...just as she hoped! She felt her heart skip a beat as her eyes instantly fluttered shut, leaning into the kiss herself, but it was over far too soon for her liking. She opened her eyes and stared into his golden pair when he broke the kiss. Ah....can she have seconds of that, please? Though it seemed like Denki had the same thought as her as she saw him lean in once more. Smiling, Namie closed her eyes as she enjoyed his sweet kisses. They were so cute and just so sweet.

But upon feeling his tongue lap out against her lips, Namie opened her mouth, inviting his tongue inside as her own tongue reached out to coax his tongue inside of her mouth. Her hands pulled him closer to her as she pressed herself up against his much sturdier frame. Ah, this felt really nice...so very sweet and warm. Her hand reached up and combed through his as she enjoyed the kiss, her mouth moving against his, savoring his sweet taste. Mmm, she could get addicted to this. When they broke apart for air, Namie stared into his eyes as she couldn't help herself. She kissed his lips before kissing his cheek then nose then his jaw. She teasingly nipped his ear before trailing a kiss down his neck. Hm, was this too much for him? She paused as she glanced up at him, her mouth hovering over his neck as she was tempted to have a taste of him. Heh.

Staring at Toshinori, she began to wonder how she had wound up with him back at her place, their faces so dangerously close together. Somehow the events leading up to this moment seemed to be escape her mind. She felt like it had been a rather long wait before his lips pressed to hers, Mela stilled herself, wanting Toshinori to take the lead and go at his own pace. Because if she did anything, she'd probably scare him again heh. She closed her eyes and breathed in, a sweet earthy pine scent filling her nose. It was quite calming and reminded her a bit of Christmas. Who didn't love Christmas?

Feeling his tongue lick at her lips briefly, she held back a noise but couldn't help parting her lips slightly. Upon the wet muscle retreating, she held back another noise and told herself to just wait, wanting Toshinori to do what felt most comfortable for him. With his arms moving around her, she decided to firmly settle on his lap, both arms moving around him, her body heating up to the point where she wanted to just throw off her clothes but no, that would be bad right? Her legs rested on either side of him as she continued to lean into the kiss, applying a bit more pressure whenever he did.

When the kiss broke, Mela opened her eyes as he spoke her name. She felt a very fiery flutter rise within her stomach. Ooh her name sounded very different when he said it like that. Breathing in slowly, she slowly brought a hand up to run her fingers through his hair. So wild. "I could make us dinner." She said, her mind catching up to her. "For a date." She added as she looked to him, her eyes slightly wide, her face quite red. She was comfortable where she was but she wasn't sure what Toshinori wanted to do. Was it okay to just have a date here, like right now? That would be weird right? "O-or um whatever you think you'd like Toshinori?" She said quietly. What would he like, she wondered? She tried to just keep a level head, even if it felt like she was floating away at the moment.

The fact Tohru could keep the dress was just unheard of to the girl. Was that really okay? But Tohru was sure an all pink dress on Kurotsuki-chan would look so cute! So so so cute! Or too cute? Nooo. Tohru wasn't sure she could accept such a gift. Surely Uede-san would take it? Though based on the look in Sohma-kun's eyes made Tohru think that it wouldn't be such a bad idea to keep the dress. Though at the mention of Kurotsuki knowing a designer, it did make her mind wander to Ayame-san. Somehow she felt like she had to know this person Kurotsuki-san knew. Most designers knew each other anyway.

The ride was quick enough and once he parked, they headed inside. Shoto eyed the dance floor. Ahh dancing was becoming a common theme now that he had a girlfriend huh? He noticed Yuki had given it a look to while Tohru seemed to shy away from it. Shoto let out an amused noise as he was sure if he asked Ruka to dance after dinner or while they waited, the other two would have to dance too. He sat beside Ruka, across from Sohma. He looked at the menu and decided on the roasted chicken with roasted vegetables and a light tarragon sauce. Torhu eyed the butternut squash ravioli while Yuki was eyeing the spaghetti and meatballs. Once their orders were taken, Shoto pushed his chair out and held out his hand to Ruka.

"Would you care to dance, love?" He asked her. The music playing was quite traditional and classic, very suited for dancing. There was another couple dancing though they had to be together for probably decades. It was kinda sweet. He wondered if he may come here with Ruka when they were old and relive this night together. Yuki looked from the lovebirds to Tohru and blushed a little. "Ah...yes, Honda-san, shall we dance?" He asked her. Tohru looked to Ruka and then to Yuki, her face red. "I-I...um sure!" She hadn't really danced before but Yuki seemed confident for the both of them. Leading Ruka to the dance floor, he laced their fingers as his hand rested on her hip. "You are good friend, Ruka." He said softly, kissing her lightly, falling all the more in love with her kindness for others.

Heh maybe Ayumi had a thing for lazy bums who were prickly? But she rolled her eyes when he said not many would classify him as attractive. Less competition for her then. "Well, you are. Perhaps an acquired taste though?" She just gave a shrug, not budging on her assessment that he was attractive. She wasn't about to shower the guy with compliments if that's what he was fishing for. Her words of praise would have to be earned a bit better than that. But yes, Shota was very hot. The hair, the stubble, the stupid aloof attitude, oh yes. He was kind of a bad boy, and what girl could resist a bad boy? Better yet, one who was some pro hero so that meant a lot less risk involve.

Ayumi had her share of bad boys, needless to say those were faded one night stands she didn't dwell on. "Don't flatter yourself, Aizawa. I was hardly insisting." She huffed, shaking her head to ward off the threatening blush. This man was so sexy when he was infuriating. She headed inside and went to make the bed, shaking her head. Who could leave the house without making their bed? Seriously? She finished making it and was about to start a quick dusting when she heard Aizawa spoke up. He was awfully chatty together. Maybe she should give him coffee more often? She turned around to him, a smirk on her lips as she tapped her lips with her finger thoughtfully.

Was he serious? She shouldn't invite herself into a guy's bedroom? There went most of her weekend plans heh. Was he being condescending or thoughtful? She wasn't sure but her gut told her was actually worried for her. How cute. If anything, the other guys had to be careful. "I'm quite careful and capable of not falling into someone's spider web. Unless that's where I intend to be." Like now. "No one does anything to me that I don't want them to." She smiled, leaving it at that as she finished and sat on the edge of his bed. "It is nice of you to worry about me." She considered, licking her lips. "Don't be inviting strange women into your bedroom either." She teased him. She patted the spot next to him, figuring he needed to at least get used to being around another woman in his bedroom. Why not her?

- - -

He still was very confused as to how this helped her but he hoped it helped. But he wasn't complaining. He thought back to the dance and then I Island and yet this felt different from those times when their lips had met. His heart was racing as his mind was struggling to keep up with his body's movements. His tongue slipped out on its own and before he could retract it and consider how she had used her tongue not too long ago, Namie's lips parted for him. That was a good thing right? Denki let out a small groan of surprised pleasure as her own tongue went out to meet his. His tongue slipped inside of her mouth, a bit tentative as he experimented with the feel of his tongue in someone else's mouth.

It was weird but in a good way. Lightly stroking her tongue with his, he felt her move against his body, though they couldn't exactly get any closer than they already were. His left hand trailed up, unsure if this was okay with her. When her hand moved to his hair, he decided to keep his left hand moving up to cradle the back of her head. Their lips nuzzled each others as they finally aparted for not just cool air. Denki's mouth hung open slightly but before he could say anything, Namie stood up to kiss his lips and then cheek, nose and jaw. It tickled! Denki felt his body beginning to shake as she then did something to his ear.

His head tilted slightly as he wasn't sure what to do with all of this. It was all so good and yet his mind was racing now, doing laps around the whole event. Namie's lips trailed further down to his neck and he felt a few bursts of electricity fly from his nose and ears and cheeks. Yes he was about to short circuit. "A-aah um." He couldn't even say anything as he staggered backwards, not wanting to hurt Namie as felt his mind go blank as a burst of volts left his body. The power suddenly went off as he fell to his knees, unable to ward off the fuzzy blanket over his mind as he began to giggle and drool slightly. "That was hehe really nice, Namie-ehe-chan." He mumbled, red faced with sparks still coming from his head. Denki stared up at Namie, almost like a very lost, confused puppy. "My brain broke." He giggled a bit more. "Help~"

AiAi AiAi
 
Ah, that kiss felt even better than he imagined. Just having her in his arms like this felt very nice. When she settled on his lap, his arms wrapped around her waist, resting comfortably against her hips, his hands massaging her soft flesh in a very gentle manner. Once the two parted for some much-needed air, he was more than ready to lean back in for another taste of her. She was so very sweet and her soft lips felt wonderful. He leaned into her hand that was combing through his hair, never having felt this kind feeling before. It felt nice he decided. When she suddenly blurted out about making dinner as a date for them, Toshinori blinked over at her. Huh?

He felt his own face growing red as he blinked at her. Did she say a date, right now? As he noticed her getting flustered, he gave her a soft smile, not wanting her to get uncomfortable or anything like that. Placing a hand on her cheek, he reached out and kissed her forehead gently as he murmured out, "sure, dinner sounds great. What would you like to eat? I can help too?" He just wanted to do whatever she wanted. All he needed was Mela and her to be happy. That was all it took to make him happy. But for now...pulling her into his chest, Toshinori rested his head on her shoulder as he murmured out, "but for now...can we stay like this for a little longer...? Please." He just wanted to enjoy having her in his arms for a while longer. He feared that this was all some sort of dream and then when he woke up, she won't be beside him.

- - -

After the four made their orders, Ruka turned to the outstretched hand as she gave Shoto a smile. Placing her hand in his, she stood up as she replied back, "I would love to." She glanced over to see Yuki asking Tohru for a dance as well. Good. She smiled encouragingly over at Tohru when the brunette looked over at her. She gave Tohru a wink before heading to the dance floor herself. Placing her hand on his shoulder while her other was laced together with his, Ruka blinked up at him at his comment. Eh? Was she now? She glanced over to see Tohru all flustered while dancing with Yuki. She caught Yuki's eyes for a moment and she smiled. "Hm, am I now?"

Looking back at Shoto, Ruka kissed him back as she told him, "and I think you're a wonderful boyfriend for supporting me. Thank you, Shoto. I wouldn't have been able to do this without you." As the pair danced along to the romantic melody, Ruka gave Shoto a teasing smile as she moved a little closer to him as she murmured out softly, "a very special dessert is awaiting you at my place later tonight." Hopefully, he will be able to be patient until then? But having him sit next to her, ah well she wasn't sure what may happen. Hehe. As the music came to an end, Ruka tugged Shoto with her to go back to the table, wanting to give Yuki and Tohru some time. Glancing over at them, Ruka asked Shoto, "do you think he'll do it?" If he didn't, she'll have to teach him a lesson during their training. Smiling over at Shoto, Ruka held his hand, squeezing it lightly as she murmured out, "we should come back here again, just the two of us." Seeing the older couple dancing gave her hope in her love for Shoto.

Smirking slightly, he watched her make his bed. There really wasn't much else in his room beside his bed so he supposed there wasn't much to clean. Thankfully? He wasn't sure. He lifted a brow when she assured him that there was nothing to worry about as she was capable of defending herself...ah, well..that is true he supposed. That broom of doom of her's was more than capable of bringing down a grown man. Easily might he add. He held back the memory of that one time when she nearly killed him with her broom. Ah, no no...no need to remember that now. He lifted a brow, eh? Was he worried about her? Thinking over that, Shota will admit he will be concerned if she tells him that she went into a guy's room. Yeah, okay. But that's only because she was his friend and colleague, no other reason. Yup, nothing else. Though...if Midnight told him such a story, Shota will only feel bad for the poor man who fell victim to Midnight's rather sadistic plays. Ah, okay maybe he was worried because it was her. But he knew better than anyone she can beat any guy up. Ah, what a conflicting feeling this was.

Noticing her sitting on his bed, Shota let out a sigh, "you're right. You can easily beat a man up if you wanted to." He left it at that. When she patted the spot next to her, Shota had no clue what she was planning. But hey, this was his bed and it was now neatly cleaned. So yes, he will take a seat on it. As he sat down, he laid back onto his bed, letting out a small sigh as he murmured out while covering his eyes with an arm, "thanks..." there, now she was free to go. He scoffed at her comment about him inviting strange women into his room, "you're right. Why did I let you in?" He teased her lightly, but honestly, he didn't care. He didn't mind her presence, not as much as other women. But then again, other women were far more aggressive and latched off his arm...for whatever reason that he just can't understand. Women.

- - -

Ah, kissing him felt so nice. She can get used to this...though can he was the question. As she trailed a series of soft kisses across his face to his neck, Namie stared up at Denki, wondering if she can leave a mark on him? Was that okay? Or was that too much and did she just cross the line? She felt bursts of electricity jumping off of him, but she paid no mind as her tongue lapped out to stroke his neck. Mmm, he tasted good. But before she can even ask him permission to do more, he stepped back all of a sudden. Namie looked up at him, about to apologize thinking that he didn't like it when a sudden few volts bounced off of him. Surprised, she stepped back and watched as the power went out. She heard Eijiro's voice from upstairs as Namie blinked a few times. Eh? Did he just?

Looking down at Denki who had sunken to his knees, she watched as he began to giggle. When he looked up at her with the cutest expression ever, Namie felt her heart melt as she giggled as well. Oops, she broke him. Hehe. Kneeling down next to him, Namie smiled over at Denki as she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him. Pulling him to her chest, she began to heal him as her hand rubbed his back soothingly while her other hand combed through his hair. She closed her eyes, letting out a soft hum as she pressed her lips to his head. "It'll be alright very soon Denki-kun~" But hearing his comment about it being nice, Namie can only hope that meant he enjoyed the kisses. Staring down at Denki, Namie watched as he came back from his little episode as she flashed him a soft smile, "all good?" She giggled slightly as she whispered into his ear, "I'll let you go this time...but next time let me mark you, okay?" She gave him another sweet smile, "unless you want it now~?"

When Toshinori placed a hand on her cheek, she decided to stop rambling before she really got going. She blushed and closed her mouth as she felt his lips peck her forehead lightly as he said that dinner would be good and that he would like to help She wasn't sure what she had in the fridge but she could always sneak over and raid Ruka's, knowing she'd have something to cook with. Mela let out a thoughtful sigh, hoping she could figure it out. It was going to bother her now. She wanted to cook for Toshinori-kun but she hadn't thought it through very well and she wished she had just suggested they order in but maybe they could do that instead? Aww she wasn't sure now.

Mela, stop thinking so much. As she was pulled back into his arms, she let out a small noise of surprise as he rested her head on his shoulder, wanting to stay like this for a bit longer. "Okay." Nodding, she nuzzled her head against his own. Her hands trailed along the sides of his body, her eyes closing for a few moments. This did feel quite cozy. Mela brought her hand back up again to stroke the back of his head, he lips moving to brush against his temple. If she wasn't careful, she may just fall asleep like this. Leaning inward a bit more, she brushed her lips against the side of his neck, wondering what kind of reaction that would get hehe. He was so innocent. She just couldn't help herself. Mela opened her eyes, studying Toshinori as she licked his neck, still testing the waters.

While Ruka was quite attractive, it did matter that she was equally wonderful as a person. So many other girls at the school could be so vapid and shallow. They could look cute but inside, they could be selfish and cruel. But Ruka wasn't like that at all. She was a good friend and very loyal and to Shoto, his love for her reached well beyond their private moments together and this was further proof. Ruka was a good person who enjoyed helping others. It wasn't just about being a hero but being a good friend and Shoto really did enjoy seeing that selfless side of her even in everyday situations. He kissed her softly, "Thank you. I'm glad to help." And he was, it felt good to help others, that was undeniable.

With the promise of a special dessert, he couldn't help but smirk. Oh he knew but it was always nice to have confirmation. He hoped it was Ruka. Maybe she got new lingerie? Or something else? He was very intrigued but would wait and be good. He sat down with Ruka as they watched over the other two shy exchange students. "He may not kiss her yet." He considered, not sure if Yuki-san would do it in public. "He really should though." He smirked a little. At the idea of coming back, he nodded and brought her hand to his lips, kissing her knuckles lightly. "It's a date." He agreed with Ruka. He had been thinking along the same lines so he was very glad she was too. When Yuki and Tohru returned, their food arrived. Shoto took a bit of his chicken and held it out for Ruka to have a taste. "How is it?" He smiled to her. He had to hope her food was good too as he opened his mouth to have a taste, his mind flashing to the future for a moment heh.

Ayumi eyed the man, wondering if he would sit beside her or not. She wouldn't bite him. Not too hard anyway. She gave him an innocent look when he admitted she could beat any guy up if necessary. Yes, yes she could. She'd enjoy doing it too,though no guy was stupid enough to try anything with her that would result in some sort of accident involving her broom and their bones. Aizawa sat down and laid back, which prompted Ayumi to study him. He gave a thanks but it wasn't necessary! She was doing this to thank him for letting her borrow his sleeping bag and nap on him. She refrained from getting upset, deciding to just drop it. They were even so it didn't matter now did it? He could be strangely polite huh?

Giving him a small sideways smile, she reached over and placed her hand on he arm over his eyes. "Because you're a softie, deep down." She teased him gently. Though she insisted she clean his place so technically she was just being pushy. Then again, he didn't have to indulge her whims. She patted his arm lightly before she got up. She had to start patrolling soon and she was sure he did too, they'd probably see each other. She wanted to tell Aizawa not to let anymore strange women in aside from her but she held her tongue. Don't push your luck. "Anyway, thanks. Maybe I'll see you around tonight~" She said cheerfully as she flew off, waving to Mi as she grabbed her broom and let herself out, not wanting to overstay her welcome.

Even though Eijiro was annoyed that the power went out at the wrong time during his gaming session, he had a feeling he knew the cause of it going out so he couldn't be too mad at his buddy. Denki felt a fog come over him as his whole body tingled and twitched. He was still a bit charged and he expelled a bit more bolts as he shook his head like a wet dog trying to dry itself. Denki suddenly felt arms come around him as he leaned against the warm body. "N-Namie-chan?" He blinked, feeling something soft against his face as a hand moved along his back, another in his static hair. He closed his eyes, usually after losing control of his quirk, he was rather shaky and stuck in a haze and yet somehow when he felt Namie hold him, it was like everything cleared up and he was no longer lost.

He sat up slightly as he felt a lot better. What just happened? The boy tilted his head, hearing her teasing words tickle his ear. Mark him? What did she mean by that? Like she'd take a stamp and mark him that way? Or she had a marker? He gave her a rather oblivious look. He was a bit curious about what she meant. Something told him it couldn't be bad based on her tone and that look in her eyes. Denki licked his lips a little. Ah yes, he should just go for it right? "Um what do you mean by mark me?" He asked her. Maybe she could show him? He then realized they were still in the kitchen on the floor. "M-maybe we should move to the um living room?" He suggested, smiling to her. Yes, he still felt rather high after his quirk combined with her sweet kisses. Was that okay? He still wasn't sure. Did friends do this? Or would it be better to be more than friends and...enjoy her as a...g-girlfriend?! Oh that would be pretty great.

AiAi AiAi
 
Feeling her relax in his arms was a good sign, right? She wasn't refusing nor resisting, that was good, right? Ah, he was overthinking things again. Why can't he just enjoy the moment as it is? But then again, he was still having doubts that this is even happening right now. For all he knows, after agreeing to go out with her, he probably fainted and this was all a dream? It almost felt too good to be true. He wondered if he should test it out by pinching himself or something? As he was lost in his thoughts while enjoying having Mela this close to him, he felt her hands begin to wander to the sides of his body. He blinked as he thought he was just imagining things. But then he felt the certain gentle pressure of her hand combing through his hair and then...he froze.

She was kissing him. He felt her soft lips against his head then...t-to his neck!? He sucked in a sharp breath when he felt her tongue against his neck, "a-ah Me-la..." he moaned out softly. His entire face turned red as he didn't know he was capable of making such a sound so...fast. It wasn't like he was completely innocent. No no. He's had his fair share of ladies...but they were never quite as good. Or perhaps he should say that it just never lasted? He's had a girlfriend before whom he thought he really liked, but in the end, the relationship left him quite traumatized of romance. That was when he told himself to never have a lover because of it. So that he won't hurt anyone else...including himself.

But with Mela, things were different. Very much so. For starters, he tried getting over her, but it failed as he just couldn't get over her. If anything his feelings for her deepened the longer he knew her. Then, just the slightest touch from her made his skin burn with pleasure and need. Ah, this was bad....wasn't it? His hand gripped her hips in a gentle manner as he blushed. It felt good...d-did she want to do this...? He tilted his head to the side, giving her more room to his neck. If that was the case, then he wasn't about to stop her. No no...if anything he was encouraging her to do this. Despite his really bright red face and thundering heart. Hopefully, he won't pass out or anything like that. Ehe.

- - -

Ruka smiled up at Shoto. Yes, helping others felt nice. Ruka knew that this could be considered meddling to some, but to her...she just wanted to help. Though she did recall a saying that sometimes meddling was considered a trait of heroes. Hm, where did she hear that from? Ah, well it was from somewhere by someone and it truly did ring in her heart. She wanted to help others and she felt all the more driven to become a hero so that she can help people everywhere and anywhere! As they sat down, Ruka watched Yuki and Tohru dancing, the brunette looking rather shy. She giggled slightly at the sight of it before smiling over at Shoto, "it's definitely a date hehe." Ruka confirmed his words as she gently laced her fingers with his.

"Hm, I'm not sure if Honda-san can handle a kiss just yet, so I guess its good that he won't go that far...but I do hope he tells her how he feels," Ruka recalled when Shoto confessed to her. She grinned over at him as she said, "dancing is the way to the heart, hm?" She teased him lightly as she nuzzled her nose against his briefly. Her eyes were shining with both love and a bit of teasing. As they watched the pair dance, Ruka leaned against Shoto, enjoying his warmth while thinking of what was to come later when they were finally alone. She hid her smirk as she couldn't wait to see Shoto's reaction to her special treat for him. He did well and he's been so patient. Her lover definitely deserved it.

As the food arrived just in time since Yuki and Tohru came back, everyone began to eat. Ruka opened her mouth and happily accepted a bite of Shoto's food. A small sound of approval being heard as she nodded her head. "Mm, it's so good!" She'll probably be sneaking bites of his now hehe. She held out a bite of her own pasta to Shoto, the two lovebirds feeding each other affectionately. Ruka glanced over at Yuki as if silently pushing him to feed Tohru a bite too. She smiled over at the pair as she spoke up, "you two looked so lovely together! It looked quite magical hehe." She couldn't help but tease them lightly. They did look to have fun and that was a good thing. Ruka held onto Shoto's hand even as they ate. It was so hard to keep her hands to herself around him. Hehe. When they finished eating, of course, the mention of dessert came up and Ruka's eyes shined. She ordered a bowl of gelato, strawberry flavored.

He stiffened slightly when he felt a light pressure on his arm. Was she touching him? But why? It was strange. The two were with each other often, but there was hardly ever any contact made...other than her broom. He blinked a few times but left his arm where it was. The place she touched him felt rather...hot. Strange. Though all that went out of his head the moment she spoke up. He let out a small 'tch' sound at her comment. He was no softie! He was just...um yeah! Whatever it is...argh fine...deep down. "Deep deep down," Shota muttered out lowly to himself. Like he'd admit to being a softie or something like that!

He stayed on his bed as she stood up and left. He didn't say anything to acknowledge her words, but he knew she understood. Yeah, he'll see her later tonight probably. Perhaps this time around, he'll actually acknowledge her presence lurking in the corners and maybe they can patrol together? Wait, why was he even thinking that? Strange. Shaking his head, Shota rolled over onto his side, closing his eyes as he decided to catch some sleep before getting up to patrol. A soft meow was heard as he felt Mi lay down beside him. Pulling the little fluffball close to him, Shota closed his eyes, trying to ignore the sudden cold that filled the room. Ah, has he been this lonely...?

This was normal, yet somehow he felt so alone even with Mi's comforting presence beside him. How long has it been since he thought this room has been...empty? Was it since Mela left? Ah, things felt strange now. Even more so now that Ayumi wasn't here chatting away. He blinked a few times as he stared up at the ceiling. Wait...since when did he feel lonely when Ayumi wasn't around? Sitting up, Shota shook his head. No no no. That was just...huh? He couldn't wrap his head around it and now he felt awake. Sighing, Shota stood up, deciding to make himself and Mi something to eat before he left. Urgh, so much for a nap.

Seeing him back to his usual self brought a smile to her lips. But if she must be honest, Denki, when he short-circuited, was just as cute if not more honest about his own feelings hehe. When she told him to let her mark him next time, Denki looked quite confused. Namie blinked back at him. Oh dear. This was going to quite hard, huh? When he asked her about the marking, Namie giggled slightly. Did he really have no clue? Was he just playing with her or was he just that pure? Hm, should she feel bad about doing all this to him? But he said it felt nice so it wasn't technically taking advantage of him, right? Oh dear, since when did she become the expert in these things? Holding back a giggle, Namie slowly released Denki and stood up along with him. At the mention of moving to the living room, Namie nodded her head, "it'll be more comfortable there." Did he really not know? Because he was quite smooth. Hehe.

Grabbing his hand, Namie helped him to the living room since he still seemed a bit tired out from his little episode. Ah, but her healing quirk should have healed him completely? Though she won't blame him if he felt slightly out of it. It must feel strange to get healed so quickly for something that used to take some time. Sitting down next to him on the couch, Namie tilted her head as she looked over at Denki. Did he really not know? Turning to face him completely, Namie leaned forward she stared into his eyes, "so that mark, are you ready?" She asked him, wondering if she'll see a flash of something in his eyes. But no, he looked completely and genuinely curious about it. Ah, she felt like a villain somehow.

Deciding that if she must show him, then she'll have to do it right. Hehe. Smiling, she pushed him back further into the couch as she moved her legs over to sit on his lap, straddling him. Smiling innocently down at Denki, Namie tilted his head to the side as she leaned down and began to deliver a soft trail of kisses to his skin starting from his ear where she whispered out, "here I go then~" Kissing his ear gently, she moved down and trailed feather-light kisses on his skin all the way to his neck. As she reached his neck, Namie gently licked and kissed the skin before moving to the crook of his neck where she lightly sucked on it. Her teal hue kept an eye on his reaction as her hands ran down his arms in a gentle manner. She sucked a bit harder on his neck before licking the now faint red mark. Kissing it, she pulled back and smiled over at him, "there, how was it?" She tilted her head to the side as she ran a hand through his hair, cradling his cheek gently. Grinning, Namie asked him, "would you like seconds? Hehe."

Before she could reconsider her actions, not wanting to make Toshinori feel too uncomfortable, she heard him utter a very soft moan of her name. She blushed and paused, almost unsure if she had heard him. She felt her own heart quicken as she assumed that was a good thing, him moaning her name in such a sweet, almost pleading sort of voice. She looked to him, noticing how much he was blushing but she was sure she was blushing just as much as he was. No wonder things were quite hot. But keep your clothes on, Mela! Mela breathed in as she paused, still wondering if Toshi preferred to just enjoy one another without her distracting them. Toshinori's hands lightly squeezed her hips as she had to consider that this wasn't too much for him.

No, that had to mean he wanted her to stay where she was. Yeah? Well if he said she should stop, she would of course. When Toshi shifted his neck to give her more room, she pressed her lips together, deciding that this wasn't too much for him. Until told otherwise, she'd continue testing what he may like most. Mela moved her lips back to his neck, placing very light but warm kisses along and around his neck. She kept her hands where they were for the time being as her airy kisses moved up along to his jawline and finally to his lips. Mela kissed him gently, wanting nothing more than Toshinori to know that this wasn't something she was just doing with any cute guy who happened upon her couch. Oh no, she was quite happy that it was him. "S-sorry, I just c-could resist." She blushed, totally committed to being good now.

Yes. She could do that. Mela smiled slightly to Toshi, still a little worried he'd overheat again if she did too much. Ah better take it slow. She rested her forehead against his for a moment, trying to remind herself to take things slow. Yes. Slow. She let out a small sigh as she moved her hand from his hair and rested it on his shoulder. "I-I should um figure out dinner?" Yes? Yes. Mela quickly got off of him, her face still red as she ran off to the kitchen, so glad she had a balance quirk or she would have surely just fallen on her face. Almost upset at herself for almost getting carried away, she started to figure out what she could make. So she had rice and vegetables. Maybe a stirfry? Or maybe she could make some cookies? No those were dinner. Well to her they were but they were suitable for a first date, kind of dinner. Mela was having a difficult time thinking though as she leaned against the counter, mostly trying to cool off.

"We could just order something?" She suggested, her voice trailing off a bit, she didn't really want to though, but this was all very short notice.

- - -

Shoto gave Ruka a warm smile when she nuzzled their noses together. "You think so?" He smirked teasingly. "I'd say your cooking won me over." He teased her. Of course it was much more than that. Her eyes, her voice, her sweet laugh, her kindness, so much had won him over. He really didn't stand a chance did he? His soulmate was truly a knockout. Shoto wanted to let his hands wander a bit, that dress of Ruka's was making it hard but he knew it might be a bit impolite to get too handsy in public when they were trying to help Sohma-san and Honda-san. Shoto was sure he could tease Ruka without being too obvious or sneaky about it. After all, she was his lover, he had a way with making her feel certain things. Her ear sensitivity for instance, could be easily accessed.

"I am sure by the end of the week, things may become clearer for them." He told Ruka. Hopefully they could see their hard work take shape. He knew it took a lot of guts for him to make a move for Ruka but the risk of finding love was far better than getting your heart crushed right? Besides, Yuki had to know as a hero in training, you couldn't squander the happiness you had. You had to make the most of every day and love the ones you were with. He fed Ruka another bite and took a few offerings from her. HIs hand held hers, trying to ignore the legs he wanted nothing more than to leave marked. "Y-you think so?" Tohru blushed at Ruka's comment. Yuki stared at her, reaching over to wipe a bit of food from her mouth, using the tip of his thumb. "Ah S-Sohma-kun?" Tohru blushed even more.

As dessert was mention, Shoto held back a groan. He picked an affogato, something more savory than sweet. But the ice cream did cut through the coffee. All he wanted was the dessert he would have back at her place. Why did time have to pass so slowly? Tohru and Yuki decided to share a peach tart. After the group finished and paid, they drove back to UA to drop off Yuki and Tohru. Tohru thanked Ruka and nervously took Yuki's offered hand as Yuki waved to them both in thanks. Shoto glanced to Ruka, unable to hide his smirk. Pulling away from the hill, he leaned over and ran his hand along her exposed leg. "That was a very good night." It wasn't bad going on a double date. The lack of their teacher did help liven things up too. "But I feel like it's only going to get even better." Shoto added, squeezing her lower thigh suggestively. "So what kind of treat do I get, my dear Queen?" He asked her as he drove back to her place, a small bag in the trunk with some things he could change into before school tomorrow.

Licking his lips, he parked and looked to her, his gaze filled with fire. Now the real fun could begin.

- - -

It was almost a shame she hadn't just offered to sleep with him. A hookup would do wonders for his mood, she was sure. But...she would probably be all the more heartbroken if that's all that came of them was some steamy one night stand. No, she would wait, even if it was proving to be a huge undertaking to be a good witch and not pin him down on his own bed and prove she could ride something other than a broom heh. Ayumi sighed as she flew back to her place and heated up some leftovers, telling Nazo-kun about her day and how one silly misstep wound up with her going out for coffee with Aizawa and going back to his place. As much as she hated sleeping in public, urgh so vulnerable, she decided maybe she could get away with it if Aizawa was there to look after her. But surely him lending her his sleeping bag was a one time thing.

Shaking her head, she changed out of her current outfit of jeans, black tank top and open robe, and slipped into something suited for chasing down villains. There hasn't been a lot of action lately but she had to grumble that was because Aizawa was doing extra work, probably taking out his feelings out on the innocent, er bad guy population. Ayumi slipped into a pair of black leggings and a long black witch's dress and put her had back on. She threw Nazo as she winked and headed out, flying on her broom. She stopped by her own pro hero agency as she checked in and chatted with a few of her friends before she went out to scope the city. Letting out a breath, she flew threw the low clouds before diving down to see if anyone need a young woman's assistance.

Spotting a crying kid, she flew down to see if he was okay. From the sound of his crying, he lost his mommy. Ayumi made a face as she scooped him up in her arm and flew off to find his mother, who was surely worried sick. Ayumi smiled down to the kid, she wasn't really a kid person. At all. But she was a pro hero and a pro hero had to deal with all sorts of situations. Ayumi set him down for a moment and crouched in front of him. "It'll be fine, Chibi-kun. I promise. I'm Witchya and I'm super good at finding people!" She smiled to him before she took her hat and placed it on his head, it of course being too big just fell over his face which got the child to at least start laughing. "Why don't you help me? You can be my sidekick? I've always wanted one, you know. Oh, why don't I be your sidekick instead?" She smiled as he lifted her hat up and smiled, beginning to tell her what his mother looked like, now that he was calming down.

Picking him back up, Ayumi began to float around the general area, letting her new hero help search too.

- - -

In the deep corner of his mind, Denki was sure he knew what was going on here. Though he had seen videos of erm things and people doing things, he was trying to connect the dots. He was really trying. His mind was just struggling to put himself in such an exciting and hopeful situation. Why would Namie-chan want to kiss him? He wasn't like Bakugo or Todoroki or even Iida. He wasn't strong or cool or even that smart. If Namie deserved to be with someone, they had to be strong and cool and super smart. No wonder Ruka didn't like him huh? But with Namie, he didn't feel too bad about himself but in such a new and fun situation, he couldn't help but have some doubts trying to protect his heart. Could he really enjoy this? Did Namie-chan really like him, as more than a friend?

On the couch, he stared at her, still a bit out of it as he wondered where exactly she was going with this. But he was curious and a bit excited. Yes, he did want this, whatever this was. With Namie suddenly on his lap, things quickly began to click in his head. Mostly. She had to like him right? Like really like him? She didn't do this to any other guests or friends right? Her light touches tickled and sent soft shocks along the surface of his skin as his lips parted, his hands moving around her lower back, keeping her to him. Yeah, she didn't need to move from this spot. Denki let out a low moan when she then began to suck on his neck. Aha. But it was over a bit too soon. He smiled to her, his face a bit red as he gave her a grin. "Eheh really nice." He nodded to her, her held felt a bit cool against his warm face. It was soothing.

"I think I should give that a try huh?" Moving his own lips to the side of her neck, he selected a spot and kissed it a few times before he captured a bit of her soft flesh between his teeth and began to suck, leaving a deep mark of his own. He gave it a lick before looking to her. "I think I like doing that almost as much I like you." He couldn't help but blurt out, his mind still rather foggy, his fliter a bit off it seemed. Denki blushed at his own comment. Did he say that out loud? Crap. But he couldn't deny how good he felt with her, his doubts about himself seemed to fade away. Maybe the nerves meant he was just trying not to look like a total loser in front of her? "I well um...I do...um like you. But I didn't know if you...maybe do too?" Or not. Probably not right? Well she was straddling him right now so there was hope right? He studied her face, hoping he hadn't said the wrong thing. But he had thought about her being his girlfriend on more than one occasion.

Did she ever think about him that way~?

AiAi AiAi
 
Everything was almost overwhelming as his hands lightly held onto Mela's hips. The feel of her lips on his neck to her warmth that radiated off in waves to just having her sitting on his lap like this. It was all too much for the blonde pro-hero as he felt his face grow hotter by the second while his heart was racing a mile a minute. Ah...well...he supposed he'll die happy at least? Deep blue hues fluttering close slowly, Toshinori let out a small sound as she moved up along his neck and t-towards his jaw? A-and hi-his lips!? His eyes opened as he stared into Mela's deep brown pair. Ah...they kissed again. It was so gentle, he could feel her feelings sinking into it as her soft lips pressed against his. Can he believe it? Can he...hope that this wasn't a mistake or anything like that?

But looking into her soft eyes, Toshinori knew she knew what she was doing. Hearing her stuttering comment, he smiled slightly. Ah, she was just as nervous as he was. How cute. Reaching a hand, he gently pushed aside a stray strand of hair, but before he can say anything back or do anything she stood up suddenly. Blinking, he can only watch as she hurried off to the kitchen. Oh, did he do something wrong? Sinking back into the couch, he welcomed the cool touch it brought before snapping out of his stupor. No no, no daydreaming right now! The dream was real and she was in front of him! Standing up, Toshinori walked into the kitchen and towards Mela who's back was turned to him as she was leaning on the counter. He smiled at her murmured words. Walking up behind her, he wrapped his arms around her waist as he rested his head against hers. "We can make something simple together?" Glancing over at the ingredients laid out on the counter, he suggested, "how about fried rice?" He gave her a soft smile before shyly pecking her forehead as he murmured out, "we can make some dessert too?" Though really, anything with Mela would be delicious and fill him with happiness. Hehe.

- - -

Watching Yuki and Tohru for a moment longer, Ruka nodded her head along with Shoto's words. Yeah, he had a point there, "mmm, I can't wait to see..." Though come Saturday, her only goal would be to beat Yuki. She won't go easy on him and she knew he expected that from her. She can't go disappointing her opponent by going easy on them. No, she knew how that felt and it wasn't fun at all. Smiling over to Shoto, Ruka enjoyed the rest of dinner, her legs crossing as she lightly teased her lover. Ah, it was so easy to see what he wanted and to tease him about it was just so fun. Hehe. Though something told Ruka it was going to bite back at her twice fold later. Oh well, not like she was complaining. Heh. After they paid. The four headed back to U.A where they dropped Yuki and Tohru off. Ruka gave Tohru a smile and smirked over at Yuki. She waved at the two before heading off back to her place.

Turning to Shoto as his hand ran along her leg, Ruka gave him an innocent smile as she crossed her legs. Ah, teasing him was just too fun. As he drove them back to her place, Ruka let out a slight hum at his words, "yeah, tonight was quite lovely...it'll only get...hotter from here I suppose." Her eyes shined slightly as she placed her hand over his. At his question, Ruka replied back, "hm? You'll find out when we get back to my place~" as they arrived back at her place, Ruka held back the shiver when she saw the look in Shoto's eyes. Ah, she loved it when he gave her all his attention like this. She could literally melt under his gaze. Leaning over, Ruka kissed him deeply as her hands glided through his hair. Nipping his lower lip, Ruka smirked over at him as she murmured out, "come on, let's go inside~" Though she did actually plan a few things for them. But would Shoto have the patience to sit through it all? Hm, somehow Ruka had a feeling he wouldn't. As they got inside, Ruka turned to Shoto, wrapping her arms around him she leaned up and kissed him before telling him, "so, I was thinking we can start off with a massage? You worked so hard for me~" She purred out while running her hand down his arm, "but...will you be a good boy and be patient?" She giggled as she looked up at him.

The few hours spent by himself was...annoying. He spent most of it being annoyed of the fact that he missed Ayumi's presence. What the hell was that supposed to mean anyway? He cooked a light meal for himself and fed Mi some fish. Once that was done with, Shota finished grading all the papers he brought home with him while drinking some coffee. Now what? Somehow, he felt at a loss. He used to have a set routine for himself before he met Mela...but it all changed after knowing her and now that she was gone, things felt so different. Staring into his coffee mug, Shota saw a dreary reflection of himself. He was looking rather rugged with all his facial hair and those dark bags under his eyes. Ah, was this how he appeared all the time? He can't tell. Sighing, he stood up as he went to take a quick shower hoping to shake free this odd feeling.

Stepping out of the steaming shower, Shota wondered if he should change the way he looked? Perhaps a shorter hair? Ah, what was he doing? Shaking his head, he decided to shave for now. It was getting too much anyway. Once cleaned up, he changed into his usual hero costume as he headed out into the evening to do some patrolling. Walking around town, he was wondering where he should go today. Hm, perhaps he can go to that one area where there was recent news of gang activity? Was he in the mood to deal with multiple villains at once though? As he was walking along the road, he noticed a panicking woman calling out for someone. He blinked a few times before letting out a soft sigh. Well, a hero must help all out in need, right? Approaching the woman, Shota spoke up, "excuse me, Miss, is there something wrong?" He had to reassure the woman he wasn't some suspicious person as he showed her his hero id. Listening to her story, Shota nodded his head. So she lost her son. Well, this was definitely not a job he was used to, but he supposed he'll have to do it. Nodding his head, he told her, "understood, please just wait here, I'll look around." Jumping up, he landed on top of a telephone pole as he looked around. Now, where would a lost child wander off to? Well...that was a stupid question. Where wouldn't a child wander off to is more like the problem.

- - -

She really didn't want to stop or get off of him. If anything, having a taste of Denki made her want him all the more. Ah, just how did this even happen? She can't recall ever making the first move nor did she ever feel such a strong desire to do such a thing either. Things just happened to her and she just went with the flow, but after having met Denki, Namie couldn't deny the strong feelings growing within her. It was almost bursting to the seams as she just wanted to tell Denki that she cares a lot for him. A lot more than anyone ever could. Or so she liked to think. She wanted Denki to be happy and loved, but if she can be a bit selfish, then she will admit that she wants to be the one to make him happy. She wanted those golden hues to only look at her and love her...was that too much to ask? Oh, but he still loved Ruka, right? It pained her to think of that, but maybe...just maybe she can have a chance too...? Or did she just lose that chance by doing all of this to him right now?

Watching his slightly flushed face after leaving a little bite mark on him, Namie hoped that was a good sign. She couldn't help but smile back when he told her it felt nice. Ah, that smile...it just filled her heart up with so many feelings. Just how much longer can she stay as that good friend of his until she can take it no longer? Though when he suggested he make one on her too, she was surprised. Eh? Does he know what that meant? But she had no complaints as she simply moved her hair to the side as she tilted her head to the side, revealing her creamy skin to him. Closing her eyes, Namie let out a soft moan when his lips made contact with her neck. Ah, that felt...so good. She shivered under his touch, her hands winding around his neck as she pressed herself closer to him. Eyes fluttering open, she looked over at him in a slight haze before blinking at his words. Huh? D-did he just? Her entire face turned red as he basically just told her that he liked her. As more than a friend...right? "I-I do too! Ah....um well..." closing her eyes, Namie decided to just say it, "I l-like you more than a friend, Denki-kun!..." Ah...did she just...mess up?

Mela's thoughts were split between worrying about what to eat, as they often were, but also with the man in her apartment. It was too much right? Yes, she could tell she was probably doing way too much. He probably thought she was crazy or something doing all of that when they had just confessed not long ago. Well technically it was Momiji-kun who did the confessing first but still Mela felt pretty bad. It was clear Toshinori liked her too but she told herself to just step back and take things slow. It was the sensible thing to do, yes. Maybe they should just wait until the weekend? That might be better right? Yet somehow it seemed like they had done a lot of waiting as it was.

Continuing to make faces and worry, she didn't notice her guest get up and move behind her and slip his arms around her. Her face was once again resembling that of a tomato. She blinked several times as she relaxed after a few moments. Mela tilted her head back to look to Toshinori. "Fried rice?" She smiled as he pecked her forehead. She decided she'd have to follow his lead for now in terms of what he was most comfortable with. "Sure!" She nodded, that would be easy to make and fried rice was very yummy. "If you want to help, that would be great." Though she held back a whine, not wanting her date to lift a finger. Oh well, if he wanted to help, she would have to let him help.

They divided up the work as Mela peeled and cut the carrots and bell peppers while Toshinori handled the corn and peas and broccoli. Mela snuck a few pieces of corn before they began to cook up the vegetables and soon added the rice, egg and seasonings. Mela dished them up some bowls as she sat down at the table with him. What would they do about dessert? Not going with the first thought that came to her mind, she decided cookies were a good route to take. Maybe peanut butter chocolate chip? Smiling to Toshi, she couldn't help but think this wasn't too bad for a very sudden first date. "So...maybe the second one I could actually take you out?" She tilted her head to him. Give her more time and she'd spoil him rotten, he already knew that first hand eheh.

If Ayumi knew of the agony and confusion she was causing Aizawa, she would just laugh and take great pleasure in that. It meant he was opening up, even just a little. And if she got to enjoy seeing him in a much happier state of Shota-ness, then she would be quite happy herself hehe. Ayumi made a face as she focused on the current task at hand. Finding someone you lost? Losing your parent in a crowd could be scary but since Ayumi had flight, she never lost anyone for long! No one got away from her! The boy spotted his mother and a man together. Ayumi squinted her eyes as the kid began to fear his mother had been picked up by some villain.

"Oooh that's just a guy I work with, he's a hero, don't worry." Though at times, his tongue could be rather villainous. He had been quite cruel the first week or two after his breakup. But she didn't mind, she found his anger to be all the more delightful. Ayumi watched Shota head up a telephone pole. Ah he made hero work look so difficult without the ability to fly haha. Ayumi flew up, right in front of him. "Looking for a kid?" She blurted out as she motioned Aizawa to hop on her broom so she could escort him back down to the ground safely. "You better be careful or you'd shock yourself or blow out the power." She lectured to Aizawa.

Ayumi and Aizawa helped reunite the kid and his mother who were both very grateful for the pairs teamwork but before Aizawa could deny they were a team, Ayumi flew a bit off the ground and threw an arm around Aizawa. "Yep, we're pretty great huh?" The kid seemed a bit shy as Ayumi then knelt down so he could put her hat back on her head. "Thanks, Chibi-kun. Stay safe!" She waved to them both as she stood up. She glanced back to Aizawa, rather surprised to run into him. She hadn't been following him tonight as usual. Swinging her hefty broom over her shoulder, she let out a light noise. "Good job, Aizawa." She laughed as she adjusted her hat a bit. "By the way, you may as well tell me where you're patrolling so I don't have to tail you like last time."

These nerves were nowhere near the same he felt around Ruka. No, nowhere near close. He liked Ruka, a lot but he wondered if he just liked the concept of her. She had been a huge burst of something new, of beauty and strength. But he had to admit, he and Ruka didn't share a lot of the same interests or traits. If anything, she was way more dominant and into books and cooking. Denki was easy going, loved doing fun things and procrastinating whenever possible. Not to mention, Ruka wasn't his soulmate. She would always be with Todoroki, that much was obvious. Those were inseparable. Probably even Mela-san noticed their bond.

But with Namie, he didn't feel like he was out of place or trying to keep up or impress her. Namie liked him for who he was and saw him as a hero when sometimes Denki didn't even see himself as such. She liked him for him. And he liked her for her too. Maybe that was what it meant to be in love? Or at least find someone who was your equal? Who supported you? Denki was still trying to figure it out but he couldn't ignore the fact that a very pretty ocean haired girl was in his lap, willingly, and looking at him like nothing else mattered. He felt himself get all the more nervous as she ended up confessing that she liked him too, more than a friend.

He licked his lips slowly, putting those words into direct context. So she was doing this because she liked him? Ahh how dense could he be? In his defense, he could flirt and talk to girls but when it came to finding someone who cared, that pretty much never happened. This was all very new to the boy. Eijiro did say Denki and Namie were pretty much dating as it was. Denki blushed even more as sparks shot out of his head. "Y-you do?" He looked to Namie. "W-would you mind...uh um being my girlfriend then?" He looked to Namie. Why not just go for broke? The idea of being able to hold her hand and know they were together, actually together, made him quite happy. He felt like things were naturally progressing and he couldn't deny it any longer right?
