He smiled softly in response. It still felt like a dream if he had to be honest. As much as Toshinori wanted to stay where he was, holding Mela tightly like this...he knew they had to move to cook. Darn, but he didn't want to suggest ordering takeout, that may just give her the impression that he doesn't want to eat her cooking or something like that! No no, by no means was that what he meant! He just...wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. But, cooking together was spending time together too he supposed. Letting her go, he ignored the cold feeling he felt as he no longer held her in his arms. This...was bad. He was missing her already and she was still in the same room as him. He could already tell that he would only continue to fall deeper and deeper in this web called love.

Helping her cook, Toshinori began to peel off the husks from the corn before boiling it. As it cooled down, he began to cut the broccoli off the stem and wash it, washing the peas as well. He smiled softly when Mela took a few pieces of corn, holding back from just offering her the entire corn. Instead, he helped her put all the ingredients into the pan before watching her cook it up. As the fried rice was made, he sat down across from her at the table. Smelling the freshly made rice, Toshinori let out a hum before commenting, "this looks delicious! I can't wait to try it!" He gave her a sweet smile before taking a bite of it. "Mmm! It's super!" He gave her a thumbs up.

When Mela mentioned their second date, somehow it brought up more hope for him. A-ah...so she wouldn't mind going on another date with him? He looked over at her as a blush soon took over his features, "u-um...actually...I was hoping I can take you out...for our next date?" He looked up at her with hopeful eyes. He wanted to show her just how much she means to him...and maybe...he can ask her to be his girlfriend? It just won't do until he asks her officially! He was a lot more traditional than he appeared. Erm, kind of.

As he was about to head off to a random direction, an all too familiar brunette came floating into view along with a...child? Shota blinked in surprise at her before slowly nodding his head. Yeah, he actually was looking for a kid. Wait...hold on a minute here. He glanced over at the child before looking back down at the worried mother. It had to be her's. He rolled his eyes slightly as he took a seat on the broom. She made it sound like he was going to fall and hurt himself. He's done that plenty of times to know how to handle himself just fine. But...just to spare his ear from her nagging, Shota got on her broom. Flying back down, he watched as Ayumi spoke to the child. Well, at least he didn't have to go running around looking for a lost child.

Shota blinked at the woman's word. He opened his mouth, more than ready to tell her that no, he and Ayumi were not like that at all. It just so happened he knew her and it just so happened that she had the kid he was looking for. But before he can even get a word out, Ayumi came flying over and just answered in his place. He glared lightly over at Ayumi, but seeing her talk to the kid made him realize that she was a pro-hero just like him. She was just a bit more...different than him though. Not a bad thing he supposed.

Watching the two walk off, Shota can only nod his head to the mother before turning his attention to Ayumi. Now then...how to handle this one? He lifted a brow at her as he told her, "I should be the one thanking you. You made my job a lot easier by bringing the child." He held back a smirk as he simply shrugged at her next question. Turning to walk off, he told her, "you may as well just join me in my patrol instead of tailing me like last time." He glanced at her over his shoulder as he smirked, "care to join me in getting rid of some gangs?" Perhaps just this once they can work together as a team.

Ah, she said it! She just went and said it straight to Denki! She knew that one day her growing feelings for Denki would just become too much for her to hide and it'll just show itself eventually, but hey now! This was way too soon, right?! Although Namie had fallen for Denki quite some time ago, she thought Denki still needed time for healing...but perhaps she can heal his heart for him? She slowly opened her eyes as she didn't hear any laughter making fun of her for her words or any sort of rejection coming. Blinking slowly, she looked into his eyes, wondering if he understood what she just said. Watching as sparks jumped off his hair, Namie nodded her head as she told him again, "yes, I do...I like you Denki-kun. As more than a friend...as a woman to a man." She blushed a bit at her last bit of words. Eeep! Was that too much!?

Just as she was about to take that back and apologize for coming off too strongly, she heard his question. Eh? She felt like her heart stopped for a moment. Did he just...did he just ask her to be his girlfriend!? Namie looked over at him with wide teal eyes. Eh? Eh? Really?! She could feel her heart jumping back alive as it began to race wildly in her heart. A-ah, was this just some cruel joke or dream? Because if it was a dream, she hoped she will never awaken from it. Smiling happily, Namie nodded her head, "yes! I would love to be your girlfriend!"

Leaning forward, she wrapped her arms around his neck as she hugged him tightly, "you don't know how many times I've dreamt of this moment! It still feels like a dream haha!" She couldn't help herself. She was just so happy to know that he reciprocated her feelings...that he liked her too! Pulling back slightly, Namie smiled to him as she leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips. The kiss was a bit longer this time around as she poured her feelings into the kiss. Realizing what she was doing, she pulled back as she gave him a small sheepish smile, "ah....sorry...I uh got carried away...I was just so happy...ehe." Oh dear, she was really happy.

Blushing at his praise ast the food, she waved a shy hand. Oh it really wasn't much, besides he helped too. She started to eat, trying to think about what she could do for a second date. But there was the question of doing something Toshinori liked. She thought about doing something fun as she was a bit concerned something too romantic might be a bit much for him. So something fun and casual maybe? Like a movie and lunch maybe? Or perhaps a trip to an amusement park? Her thoughts were interrupted when Toshinori brought up the fact he would like to handle their second date. Oh? He would? Perhaps that would be for the best. Mela tapped her chopsticks against her lips, giving it a bit of thought. Of course he could take her out if he wanted, she wasn't going to fight him there eheh.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then." Mela nodded to him, smiling. Mela was curious as to what he'd plan but she supposed for now, she wouldn't pester him with questions. Returning to eat, she new she could at least think ahead to the third date right? Yeah, if he planned the second one it meant she could take care of the third? Or was she getting too ahead of herself? No, she just liked being prepared. Mela finished her fried rice and took his bowl into the kitchen along with hers when he was done. "So cookies sound okay?" She asked him. Cake would be a bit ambitious given the time. But cookies would be a lot less mess and would take a lot less time between creation and completion. Once she and Toshinori made a quick batch of peanut butter chocolate chip, they settled on the couch to enjoy them with some milk.

Sitting back, Mela finished her cookie and leaned lightly against Toshinori. This was still kind of hard to believe. Was it okay to move on? Yes, it had to be okay at some point right? But she didn't think she'd feel this happy and nervous around anyone so soon. But she had to think it was inevitable she'd wound up beside Toshinori right? She was quite attracted to him. Maybe she should talk to Shota this week and see how he was doing? That might help her have some proper closure. But would she only be hurting Shota again in the process? She cared about Shota and wanted him to be happy. But was it fair to wait or go forward with Toshinori? She glanced to the blond, "I have really liked you for quite a while." She spoke up, figuring he should know this wasn't her just latching onto the first guy she crossed paths with after her breakup.

"I mean this is something I have thought about for a while..." Ahh no that makes you sound like a creepy person! "I mean...uh nevermind." She decided to shut up and prevent more stupid things from coming out of her mouth. God, how did Shota put up with her stupidity? She glanced off, wondering if she could just go hide somewhere. She could fit in small places..."Um a-anyway tomorrow...we should...eat lunch together?" Though they had done that countless times already, it felt a bit more special now. Didn't it? "Unless you're busy?" She looked to him. "But I could probably help if you want...?" Mela, stop talking. She had to think about what they could have for lunch. It had to be something nice right? She could go shopping when Toshinori left and see if Ruka had any advice on making bento extra cute. But then again, he may want his space too. She hadn't considered that. Was she thinking too much again? Mela was sure she making some kind of strange expression. Knowing her luck, Toshi was reconsidering this whole dating thing and wanting someone less complicated and weird. She had to wonder if this whole day had been okay for Toshinori. She needed to control herself a bit right? Not be too clingy. Was she even good enough to date Toshinori and All Might?

The mother was very appreciative and that's all Ayumi needed to hear. She eyed Aizawa, wondering if he'd let her tag along or not. She may just follow even if he told her off. "Yes, you should be thanking me." She agreed, nodding, glad he at least admitted she did most of the work. "You didn't do too much but you still helped." She teased him. It warmed her heart to see people happy. Sometimes the simple acts of kindness went a long way. Sure it was easy to smash some robbers or save someone from being hit by a car by the small hero type actions were the ones she got the most joy out of. Ayumi was sure Aizawa was more of the opposing school of thought. But either way, they did help someone tonight. Heck, two people. Or one and a half?

She watched Aizawa begin to head off and she held her breath for a moment. He was obviously a solo pro hero. Ayumi enjoyed company but could do without it easily enough. He said she may as well join him so she supposed that was permission enough. Though it's not like she would care if he told her not to follow to him. "Mm? I suppose so, if you really need my help~" Ayumi giggled as she sat sideways on her broom, her hands holding onto the meal on either side of her hips as she floated off the ground. This was a much more stable way to fly while carrying her weapon. It took the pressure off of her lower back and abs. "Let's go beat some guys up! And girls!" Equality was not dead, she was sure some villainous women lurked in the gangs they were about to bust up.

Flying alongside Aizawa, she easily kept up as they headed off to the more seedy part of the city where most gang activity was located. Ayumi glanced around the darkened alley and wondered what sort of tip he had in this area. She knew of one gang that targeted those without quirks. That was so despicable. Not just preying on the innocent but also the relatively defenseless? She heard some mutterings nearby and saw three large men and a woman coming out of the shadows. Ayumi hopped off her broom and held it up like a baseball bat, ready to do some smashing of her own. The four gang members all had golden leather wristbands on, indicating they were part of the gang that attacks the quirkless. Her eyes narrowed. "Look who stumbled into our territory." One guy said as he raised his hand and metal spikes shot from his hands.

Ayumi jumped in front of Aizawa and smacked the projecties away before she charged forward and slammed her broom down in front of the brute, the impact leaving a noticeable crater in the ground as he was pushed backwards by the force of the impact. He fired more spikes but she flew around to dodge them before she hit her broom against his forearm, breaking it to prevent him from attacking her further. One down, three to go? She then did the same to his other arm, just in case he could fire with it too. She flew back and held up her broom as another man ran for Ayumi, this one a bit more slim and clearly into combat as she flew backwards. The slender villain suddenly vanished and reappeared behind her, landing a kick from behind. Ayumi flew back and eyed the guy. So he could teleport? She had to wonder what that range was. She then noticed the female in the group extending her arms and legs like they were rubber. She made a face. This was so annoying. She wondered the range on her as well. "Aizawa, you gotta pin the girl so I can take her down." They would be stupid not to keep this in a them versus the others, they couldn't take on each villain on their own, they needed to work together to prevent her or Aizawa from getting overwhelmed by the three remaining villains.

This was all very overwhelming. There was so much going on around him, at least inside of his mind. He knew the day was growing into night slowly. Eijiro had been oddly quiet despite not being able to play video games. He was sure Eijiro had just taken a nap on Namie's bed or something. Though the idea of Eijiro sleeping on Namie's bed did make him nervous or a bit unsettled. Why should Eijiro get to sleep there? He knew his own mind was beginning to spin a bit and if he wasn't careful, he might short circuit again. No he couldn't make Namie continue to heal him. He knew since it affected her so much, he didn't want her feeling his pain. No, he couldn't let her take that burden. It was his quirk for him to handle. And he didn't want to keep ruining the moment with his volts of electricity.

When Namie said she liked him as woman to a man, his face turned even more red. No-now what did she even mean by that? Man and woman? Like...his mind wandered somewhat for a moment before he stopped himself. Ah teenage hormones at work. Still,he wondered if he had asked the wrong thing. Maybe this was too much too soon? He wasn't sure by he liked their dynamic. A lot. It was a bit confusing but maybe just going for it, becoming a couple, would clear a lot of things up? He studied her face as she gave him a wide-eyed look. His heart stopped as he grew a bit nervous but when she blurted out acceptance, he almost pushed her off of him, he was so surprised. So she did want to go out with him? And be her girlfriend too?!

Denki held onto her when she hugged him tightly. She dreamed about this moment? How many times? He blinked and let out a small laugh. Maybe better late than never? Denki decided not to worry about the timing if it had been wrong. What mattered was things were becoming clearer between them. He enjoyed her company, really liked her, and felt himself around her. If somehow she felt the same way then why not take the risk? Maybe their friendship was truly meant to blossom into something else? Something all the more grand? Denki was about to try and come up with something to say but suddenly Namie's lips were back to his, kissing him a bit longer than usual. "Ah...ah no no no. Don't apologize!" He shook his head. This was just a lot to take in but he would calm down. Eventually.

"You're so cute when you're so happy like this. I hope I can keep making you happy, Namie-chan." He couldn't help but tease her lightly. "I-I'm sorry it sounds like I should have um said something sooner?" He pouted a little, feeling bad she had been harboring such feelings. Or maybe he should have picked up on the clues in his heart and the ones Namie was dropping, sooner. He leaned in and kissed her nose, a few light sparks coming from his lips to tickle the tip of her nose. "So you're my girlfriend?" That sounded pretty nice coming from his mouth. Yeah, he had a girlfriend. A cute girl who could heal and had a big heart for animals too. "Namie-chan is Denki's girlfriend huh?" Yeah he really liked how that sounded. As much as he wanted to go tell Eijiro, he didn't feel like moving. He rubbed her back and kissed her softly on the lips. "I guess we've gotta go on a real date now!" He grinned to her, excited. Though they had done so much together already, he was a little worried it wouldn't feel as special as it should. Maybe a nice dinner out? Would she liked that? "What about tomorrow night?" He asked her. "I could take you to a good Chinese place?" He asked her. They could get dressed up and have some real quality time away from school and everyone else.

AiAi AiAi
 
He was relieved to know that she'll let him handle the next date. He wanted to show her just how important she was to him and that he wasn't just crushing on her. No no, his feelings for her ran deeper than that. Plus, he wanted to formally ask her to be his girlfriend. It just won't do until he does. But he can't just blurt that out, no no. He needed to ask her in the right setting at the right timing. Over a simple dinner date like this won't do. No, he had to make sure it was all special and just...perfect. He gulped, wondering if he even had it in himself to do such a thing? Argh, this was becoming a lot more difficult than he imagined.

The dinner was enjoyable and as he helped Mela with the dishes, the suggestion of cookies brought a smile to his lips. He nodded his head, "cookies sounds great!" He helped her make the cookies before moving over to the living room as they waited. Once the cookies were finished, they enjoyed it together on the couch. Dipping the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie into his cup of milk, Toshinori enjoyed the sweet treat. Ah, homemade meals were absolutely the best. He glanced over to Mela when she leaned against him. Smiling, he wrapped an arm around her. He still had to work on controlling his heart beating like crazy and the blush forming on his face, but he was slowly coming to terms that yes, this was real and that yes they liked each other and have already confessed. Ah, it still felt so surreal though~!

He blinked a bit when she mentioned how she has liked him for some time now. Eh? What did she mean by that...? He could feel his heart thudding against his rib cage as he wondered if that meant...she liked him even while dating Aizawa? Ah, but that can't be...can it? A part of him felt bad for Aizawa if that was the case, but another part of him was feeling quite joyous. It meant she's liked him for quite some time, right? Before he can ask her what she meant, she changed the subject. Noticing how flustered she appeared, Toshinori can only give her a shy yet happy smile back at her. At the mention of lunch, he nodded his head eagerly, "oh I would love to have lunch with you. I always look forward to lunch hehe." He scratched the side of his cheek as he glanced over at her shyly. Holding out a cookie for her to take a bite from, Toshinori told her, "it'll be our first lunch date then!" He gave her a happy smile. Even if he was busy, for Mela, he would never be too busy. He ran a hand through her hair as he murmured out, "I still can't quite wrap my head around this...I'm very happy..."

Leading the way, Shota ignored Ayumi's happy voice. Ah, why would she be happy about joining him for patrol? He was told he wasn't much fun to around save for one annoying pro-hero who seemed to just not get enough of him. Urgh. Walking through the city until they arrived at a much darker area, Shota was on high alert as he knew this was where the gang activities were at. As they were walking through an alleyway, four people approached them. Noticing the gold bands around their wrists, Shota murmured out, "looks like they came to us. How kind of them." He smirked at them as he played with his goggles, keeping it hidden until he needed to use them.

The gang wasted no time in attacking them as one man lunged out for Ayumi. Shota didn't worry too much as he knew she can handle herself just fine, though a part of him still watched for her as he made sure she was fine. Seeing as she was able to knock the guy away while breaking his arms, Shota made a mental note to stay far away from her brooms reach. See? That thing was a deadly weapon. Seriously...it was a miracle he lived through that time without breaking any bones. Pushing aside such mortifying thoughts, Shota looked around to see the other three come forward. He let out an annoyed sigh as he heard Ayumi's comment, "yeah yeah. I know." Pulling up his goggles, he covered his eyes with it as he tugged on his scarf, letting it loose slightly.

Watching them carefully, Shota made a run for the girl as his eyes glowed while his hair stood up, immobilizing her quirk to which the girl looked quite confused. Kicking her, he knocked her down to the ground before wrapping her up in his scarf and tossing her to her partner, the one who tried to teleport to attack Ayumi. He knocked the guy back and jumped up in time to avoid getting sliced in half by the last gang member who's arm turned into a large blade. Well then...letting out an annoyed tch, Shota jumped off the wall using the momentum to kick the man in the head before turning to Ayumi. His eyes glowed as he once again activated his quirk, not allowing for the two to hurt Ayumi. Rushing forward, he helped in knocking out the two. He grabbed the slender male by the arm, throwing him against the wall rather hard which caused the wall to crumble upon impact. Now...were things fine? But as he turned to Ayumi to see if she had things handled, his eyes widened as he saw the man with the blade right behind her. Rushing forward, Shota reached out for Ayumi, his arm wrapping around her waist as he switched positions to protect her with his own body. A grunt escaped his lips as he felt his skin tear slightly. Ouch. Glaring, he activated his quirk before borrowing Ayumi's broom and knocking the guy out with a rather hard hit to the face. Sighing, Shota glanced over at her, "you alright?" He stared down at her in his arms. That was a close one...

Namie really couldn't help herself. She was just so happy! Did he really mean it when he asked her to be his girlfriend? Did he really mean it? Well, he must have, right? Why else would he ask her that, right? Right! She smiled happily over at him, a soft blush forming on her cheeks. Ah, he was going to make her just fall for him all the more if he keeps saying such sweet things. He has already made her so happy and now that they are a couple...she was truly in bliss. She giggled slightly at his apology, "please don't apologize...I was happy just being beside you...but now I'm even happier. Hehe." She let out a small sound when he kissed her nose, tickling it slightly with his soft shocks, "hehe, that tickles." Namie said as she giggled.

She giggled slightly at him. Was he that happy about her being his girlfriend? She hoped so because she was beyond elated about being able to call him her boyfriend. She smiled up at him as she nodded her head, "yes, I'm your girlfriend, Denki-kun...and you're my boyfriend." Ah, being able to say that...call him her boyfriend...it made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Oh dear, this was bad. She felt so happy. Feeling his large hand rub her back in such a soothing manner, Namie can only lean all the closer to him as she enjoyed his soft touches. To feel his lips against hers? Magical. Hehe.

At the mention of a date, Namie smiled widely at him, "oh yes! That sounds great!" Tomorrow night? That works for her! She grinned at the mention of Chinese, yum! Hugging him happily, Namie told him, "Chinese sounds delicious! Dumplings are the best, right?" She winked over at him before smiling softly. Her hand cradled his cheek gently as she murmured out, "I'm really happy you asked me Denki-kun...because sooner or later, I was sure to have slipped up and confessed to you." She let out a small sheepish laugh at that. Yes, she was nearing her limit and was glad Denki asked her, otherwise she was sure she would have asked him out one way or another. If her clues haven't been obvious enough then well asking him directly would have done the trick, right? Smiling, she rested her forehead against his as she stared into his golden hues, "ah I'm so happy...I don't know what I should do..." leaning forward, she captured his lips in hers once again. Loving the feel of his lips against hers and to know that she can do this anytime, anywhere. Hehe. He was hers and she wasn't about to let him go. Ever.

Genkai Genkai
 
In her defense, she didn't know how deep her feelings for Toshinori were when she was dating Shota-kun. It was only near the end in which she realized there was a conflict of emotion and that she needed to step back in order to sort things out. She couldn't look back and wish things were different, no. She didn't regret what she did, no matter how much pain it caused for her and Shota, it was for the best. It had to happen. And it ensured she got to see if she and Toshinori could be something. She just hoped Shota had another chance with someone else. Maybe Ayumi or someone he hadn't met yet?

At the idea of having lunch together again like they used to, she smiled. But what would Momiji think if she saw the two? He'd probably be sad she wasn't with All Might which would be weird but if that happened, she could probably go look for him with Toshinori eheh. She decided not to worry about the blond little cupid as she leaned over and took a bite. At his comment about it being a lunch date, she almost choked. Gah, why would he say that with her mouth full?! She blushed and wiped her mouth as she could only nod. A lunch date it was then! Her heart gave a small excited flutter, now she couldn't wait for school tomorrow!

Leaning against him again, she enjoyed his fingers threading through her hair. Mela rested her head on his shoulder when he mentioned how he was struggling to wrap his mind around this. Did he mean them? She blushed even more. Did she really make him that happy? But she wasn't even doing anything! She moved an arm around him, "I'm glad you're happy." She said softly, "I'm even more glad that it's me making you happy." She closed her eyes, quite comfortable. It was a shame he'd probably have to go soon but she didn't want to think about that right now. Shifting her head, she propped her chin on his shoulder, looking to him. "Your eyes are so pretty~" Yes they were quite pretty, like gemstones. She wished she could do something to help Toshinori see this was real and he didn't need to worry so much. She didn't want him having a heart attack everytime she tried something. She didn't have Namie-chan's healing powers, sadly. "Did you know~?"

- - -

Hah the only reason Aizawa could walk after getting hit by her at any point, was that she wasn't actually putting any of her strength behind her hits. No no, she knew she had to be careful. But she had been using her broom since she was a pre-teen so she knew how to maneuver her weapon. Though after a while it still became a chore to use and sometimes she'd have to resort to her quirk rather than her own physical endurance and strength, which did have its limits. Still, in short term combat, she was fine using her broom and giving it her all, without holding back. "Hey, save some for me!" Ayumi called out to Aizawa when he wrapped up the girl and threw her into one of her fellow gang members.

Hurrying over, she used her broom to land one final blow to the female, smashing her in the head. It was enough to knock her out but not enough to break her face. She had to show some restraint right? She flew back quickly as the fourth member appeared, with a very threatening looking blade. She growled as she landed back, eyeing the situation. The slender guy was out for the count which was good but before she could turn her attention to the man with the blade, she felt someone move and pull her around. She froze as she saw Aizawa taking the hit for her. She gave him a glare. She didn't need to be saved!

She was about to yell at him for touching her broom when she realized he had also gotten hurt in the process. She blinked, her face no longer red due to embarrassment but something else a bit different. "Wha...yes, I'm okay!" She grabbed her broom and put her hands on either side of his face, "You didn't have to do that." She huffed as she picked him up and flew off to a rooftop out of the area. She used her phone to send a location to the four disposed of gang members before she moved behind him to look at the cut. It wasn't deep but it was bleeding. Sighing worriedly, she was glad he couldn't see her face as she tore off some of her dress, not caring if it revealed a bit of her pale abdomen as she pressed the fabric to him, trying to stop the bleeding for now. "So reckless." She pouted, her lips close to his ear as she leaned against his back. "But...thank you." She said quietly, her other hand reaching up to rest atop his head. "I should take you to my place to patch you up..."

It did make him happy to know she didn't mind his little shocks here and there. His friends said they could be annoying if also a bit unpredictable. But with Namie, they didn't seem to bother or hurt her. At least he hoped they didn't hurt her. He was trying to control his quirk and he wanted to know he could be with Namie without his brain suddenly going into literal shock. He wanted to hold his hehe girlfriend and not black out or feel like he was drowning. He also didn't want her to have to heal him and take that burden as his own. He sighed softly, his chest rising and falling against hers as they enjoyed one another in such a close, intimate manner.

It was very sweet to hear Namie refer to herself as his girlfriend. Oh, he was so happy. He couldn't imagine how he'd feel if she someday blurted out she was dating someone else or had a boyfriend. That very idea made him very uneasy heh. But now he didn't have to worry about that because Namie had finally coaxed these feelings out of him and his heart felt all the more free now. The boy was glad she liked the idea of Chinese though if she didn't, he'd happily pick something else for them. He could wear something nice, she could wear something cute and they could enjoy each other. A real date. Denki had always wanted to go on one with a cute lady and now he could.

It was all the more special that it happened to Namie-chan. She had somehow wiggled her way into his life and he was so grateful for her. He support and kindness kept him going. And he wanted to be the same source of joy for her too. The hand that touched his face, soon had his own hand against hers, as he stared into her eyes, foreheads brushing against the others affectionately. "I guess I was a little slow huh?" He considered sheepishly. Better late than never right? Before he could give any suggestions to his new smiling girlfriend, he felt her kiss him once more. Yes, they should do that. Lots more of that. Denki held onto her tighter before he shifted and pushed her down onto the couch, him on top of her. That was a bit more comfortable right? He broke the kiss and smiled to her, legs now entangled together. "So my shocks don't hurt you or anything right?" He just wanted to be sure. He had to be sure. He nuzzled his nose to hers, letting a few more shocks out to tease her. Heh.

AiAi AiAi
 
As he grew up, Toshinori learned how being a pro-hero can be hard in many ways. One was definitely how romance affected a hero's life. Now, it wasn't like a hero cannot find love and happiness for themselves, but for him it was...different. He had many enemies, many who would love to take advantage of anything to get to him. Those close to him and those he deemed dear were the number one targets. He couldn't imagine the thought of his love being in harm's way because of him. So Toshinori made sure to not fall in love, to not have a lover in order to not only protect his future love but to also protect himself. It will only bring him pain and sadness...or thats what he thought until he met Mela.

Meeting Mela changed his perspective on many things, but most importantly, she made him feel alive. Made him feel like a normal person who wasn't just the symbol of Peace. No, he felt like himself around her whether he was in his normal Toshinori form or in his muscle form as All Might. She loved both sides of him and she didn't judge him when she learned of his true self. No, she loved that side of him before then too. Toshinori knew just how lucky of a man he is to get the affection of someone so special like Mela. Ah, now he was sounding so cheesy...but he was merely being honest! He smiled softly at her words. Ah...he is happy about it too. Happy that she was the one making him happy and he hoped that he is also the one to make her happy. As selfish as that sounds.

He blinked a few times when she mentioned his eyes. Eh? His eyes...? His arm tightened its hold around her as he spoke up, "my eyes...? Really?" He played with a strand of his golden bangs as he told her truthfully, "a-are you sure...? I mean...my eyes are so sunken in many assume I'm a ghost...ehe." But to hear her say that his eyes were pretty...ah that just made his heart warm and flutter with a soft feeling. Staring into her soft brown orbs, Toshinori smiled as he told her, "but I think your eyes are much prettier...its so warm and you can just feel the gentleness." His hand caressed her cheek gently as he stared into her eyes, "I can get lost in it forever...a-ah! Um sorry...that must have sounded creepy..." He averted his gaze as he mumbled that out. Well...he didn't mean to say that aloud.

- - -

He had no clue why he did that. He winced slightly when Ayumi moved him a bit, taking his face into her hands. He blinked over at her before frowning, "I--H-hey I'm fine!" He let out a complaint as Ayumi began to fly them out of the area. He was completely fine! It was just a little scratch! And he wanted to tell her that his body just moved on its own before he even knew what he was doing. All he knew was that Ayumi could have gotten hurt and he was there to prevent that from happening. He stared down at his hands as she moved behind him to check out the scratch. It really wasn't that deep enough to cause any worry. He frowned when he heard some ripping of fabric. What was she doing? Feeling something press against his cut, Shota let out a small hiss. Ouch.

He closed his eyes, trying to ignore her warm breath that caressed the shell of his ear as she spoke. Women...they were so confusing. One second she was mad at him and the next she was thanking him. Can she just make up her mind, please? "It's no problem...more like...my body just moved on its own." He stared down at his hands, wondering why he did that. At the offer to patch him up, Shota was about to refuse but decided against it. She'll just continue to nag him for days on end if he refused. Standing up, he turned to face her. Looking down at her, Shota leaned in close as he narrowed his eyes slightly, "you're not hurt, right?" He wanted to be sure she was fine.

Satisfied with her answer, he got on her broom and the two flew back to her place. Entering her place, Shota took a seat on the couch as directed. He held back a grumble as he took his shirt off. She can be so bossy at times. He turned so his back was facing her as he let her patch him up. "It's not bad, right?" So really, please stop making such a face and stop sounding so worried. He was going to live and he was just fine. He ignored the memory of her against his back earlier. Somehow she was very warm...oddly comforting for him. Strange. Once she was done, Shota leaned back against the couch as he glanced over at her, "thanks..." he murmured out. Eyeing her pale skin showing from the tear she made on her dress, Shota lightly nudged her as he told her while averting his gaze, "you should go and change..." does he have to owe her a new dress now...?

Slow? Namie wasn't sure about that, she just didn't want to push anything onto him when he was clearly getting over a girl that he liked very much. The depth of his feelings for Ruka, Namie wasn't sure as she never pushed Denki to tell her. She supposed she didn't want to hear from him, but if he wanted to share with her then she will listen. That was that. Though when she did realize her feelings for him and tried to drop hints of her liking him as more than a friend, well she supposed he was a little thick-headed for that. Ehe. But it didn't matter for her since she was just happy to be beside him. To hang out with him and laugh alongside him? It was all she ever wanted.

She just couldn't help herself as she kissed him gently once again. Ah, she could get used to this. It would be a shockingly sweet kiss every time. Hehe. Feeling herself fall back onto the couch, she wrapped her arms around him to keep him close to her. As they parted for air, Namie smiled up at him. Nuzzling her face against his, Namie pulled back upon hearing his question. Eh? His shocks? Before she can answer, she felt a slight shock on her nose as he pressed his nose against her own. She let out a small giggle as she shook her head while telling Denki, "no, your shocks don't hurt me in the slightest. If anything...it tickles hehe."

Smiling up at him, she reached out to cradle his cheek as she told him, "perhaps it's due to my high pain tolerance, but your shocks honestly feel like soft warm tingles. It's almost soothing if I must be honest." Yes, his soft shocks felt quite nice in her opinion and she just loved seeing those soft lights as he uses his quirk. It was so mesmerizing. Hugging him close, Namie closed her eyes as she nuzzled her face against his, "you're so warm Denki-kun...so warm and gentle..." she can get used to this. Ah, now she doesn't want to get up. No no, she much rather stay like this with her...boyfriend. Hehe. Though...what on earth was Eijiro doing? Apparently, he was sleeping on the ground as he gave up trying to get the power to get back on. The red-head knew it had something to do with Denki, but if his friend had caused a power outage, something good must have happened right? But the longer Eijiro was in Namie's warm room, the sleepier he got. Oh well, Namie didn't need any interruptions right now. No no...please let her enjoy her boyfriend for a while longer. Hehe.

Mela could see how some might think he was some kind of ghost or possibly a scarecrow of some sort but Mela thought he was cute. And she knew it was him pushing himself so hard that led to his current appearance but there was nothing wrong with that. No, he was very cute and if he was a ghost, he was still a cute ghost. She shook her head slightly, well people were missing out either way. "Noo you're hardly a ghost." She assured him, still staring at him. When he moved a hand to the side of her face, she held back a small sound that lingered in her throat. Ah, he made her feel quite safe and protected. This was pretty nice, something she could get used to.

At his words, she could only smile a bit wider as she leaned her face into his hand. "No no, not creepy at all." It was sweet how honest he was. It seemed like he had an issue with blurting things out like she did but was that such a bad thing? "You're sweet, really." She nodded as she shifted her head and pressed her lips against the palm of his hand cradling her face. She then moved in and kissed the side of his face before she rested her head back on his shoulder again. She really wanted to ask him to stay but she knew she shouldn't. Besides, he had no reason to stay and she just wanted him to be comfortable and happy. Since they finally knew how the other felt, was there a reason to rush things?

Probably not. Mela had to remind herself of this a few times. It wasn't her fault Toshinori was so comfortable and cozy. It was probably a good thing he wasn't in his hero form right now or she'd have an even harder time not climbing all over him. It was almost endearing how he didn't know how cute and sexy he could be at times. Mela closed her eyes and wondered if she could get away with just falling asleep like this. Probably not right? "So...I guess Momiji-kun's meddling was well placed...?" Still she didn't know if she'd tell the boy that. It would only encourage him and Mela wasn't sure if he needed any more encouragement hehe. But still, she probably had to thank the younger boy. Mela was a bit worried, would she or Toshinori have said anything to each other had it not been for Momiji?

- - -

Aizawa was so fucking stubborn, he was lucky she wasn't trying to bash his head in for being so reckless. Hah, a man coming to save a woman. Pfft, how insulting! Now two equals saving each other? That may not be too bad. At his comment about his body acting on its own, for a second she thought it meant he cared. But she knew better than that. It probably was just hero instincts wanting to protect someone. But Ayumi didn't want to be protected, much less by someone who was going to tease her about it for weeks to come. She would have rather been injured than give him some kind of excuse to be a jerk. But so far, he didn't seem to be gloating about having to save her. Not that she needed it.

He got up and turned, looking down at her. She rose a brow and backed up slightly. W-why was he getting so close to her!? S-stop it! She blushed and looked off. "I'm fine!" She huffed. She would have been fine too even if he hadn't done anything. She tightened her grip on her broom and inhaled softly, glad he didn't put up a fight. He was learning huh? Once back at her place, she pointed to the couch. "Sit. And shirt off." She barked as she went to go get her first aid kit. Nazo was sleeping in her bedroom, curious as to why his master was back earlier than usual. Ayumi usually didn't back until just before dawn.

Grabbing the kit, Ayumi sat behind Shota and cleaned the wound. It was long but not deep so she was sure in a few days, he'd be fine. Leaning over him, she applied some bandages her fingers lightly brushing along his back. She licked her lips before she sat back and folded her arms, mostly so she could kept them to herself. At the mention of her dress which she had ripped earlier, she gave a shrug. "It doesn't really bother me...does it bother you?" She looked to him, smirking slightly. It was just a dress, she had others. Getting up, she went back to the kitchen and got them some water, wanting something stronger but knew they had to go back out and couldn't be drinking on the job. Handing him some water, she took off her hat and ruffled her dark brown hair. "You can stay here, I can finish parolling." She grinned to him, doubting he would.

Denki's left arm rested next to her head, his forearm propping himself up while his right arm was resting around the small of her back. He hoped this was okay with her. Was it? He didn't know but since she wasn't telling him to get off of her then this had to be okay right? He figured it might be a bit better than sitting. Laying was better than sitting right? When Namie mentioned how his shocks weren't harmful, he gave a sigh of relief. That was good. He was glad they didn't bother her or he'd feel pretty bad. He didn't want his quirk harming someone he cared about. But he couldn't help when he got too excited and it just flew out of him. But he would try to reel himself in if he felt himself beginning to charge too much.

The hand against his face was pretty sweet, very soft. He smiled down as she went on to say his sparks were tickling and soothing in a way. Now she was just being too nice! Denki moved his face down to press against her own, a few more sparks transferring from his cheek to hers. He let out a small giggle. He found his sparks a bit fun as well. He blushed at her words. No no, that was her. Not him. She was the gentle one. "If you keep complimenting me I may just overload again." He mentioned to her. He didn't want her to heal him again. No, he wanted them to enjoy their time together without too many distractions. Yeah, he had a girlfriend and he had to enjoy this new development.

"So tomorrow..." His mind was circling back to their date. "I can pick you up and we can get something to eat. Would you want to go to a movie too?" Or was that too much perhaps? But was that too much? But he was just too excited ehehe. He wondered if he should ask Eijiro and Kyoka for advice. No! He had to do this on his own. He couldn't keep relying on his friends. So Denki decided he would have to follow his own gut as he leaned down and kissed her lips a few more times, each kiss rather brief but energized. Or would it be better to go sit in the park under the stars? Or was that unsafe? Hmm. He decided it might be fun to revisit Kuro at some point too and let the guy know the good news. "We could just walk around after dinner instead. Or grab some crepes maybe? What does my girlfriend think?" Ah yes, he wasn't going to get tired of using that line.

AiAi AiAi
 
To think that Mela didn't find him scary or creepy! It was a first for Toshinori to have someone, a girl no less looks to him in his normal form and tell him that his eyes were pretty. That he was sweet. It was a first and it truly warmed his heart up. It made him all happy and fuzzy on the inside as he wondered what he did to deserve such a sweet girl looking at him with such gentle eyes. She wasn't fawning over him because he was All Might, no. She was saying that he, as Toshinori Yagi, is sweet. Perhaps with her kind words, Toshinori can actually believe that he wasn't some skeletal human who was just floating by. He was startled when Mela moved to kiss the palm of his hand then his cheek. His face turned red as he can only wrap an arm around Mela as she leaned back against him, "a-ah...I'm not sweet...you're the kind and sweet person, Mela-chan." He murmured it out shyly as his hand rubbed her arm in a gentle manner.

Leaning his head against her's, Toshinori closed his eyes enjoying this peaceful moment between the two of them. At the mention of Momiji Shounen, his deep blue hues snapped wide open. Ah yes...this all happened due to Momiji Shounen's meddling...hm, perhaps he will need to thank the young blonde? He gave off a light chuckle at Mela's words as he agreed with her, "yes, it was very well placed..." It makes him wonder just how obvious his feelings for Mela were. Did everyone else see it too? Or was Momiji Shounen just that keen? He glanced over at Mela before telling her, "I wanted to tell you how I feel...for quite some time I've been mulling over it...but...I didn't want to put any burden on you..." that and he didn't want any villains to get wind of All Might having a crush on a high school girl. It'll only bring trouble to Mela and that was the last thing he wanted to do. Toshinori continued speaking, "even if it wasn't me that made you happy...as long as you were happy, then I am happy." He looked down at Mela as he smiled while asking her softly, "are you happy...Mela?"

- - -

Why did he go and save her like that? He knew very well just how capable Ayumi is as a hero, yet his body moved on its own before he can even think things through. Ah...his mind and body would sometimes not cooperate with each other. Holding back a sigh, Shota let Ayumi apply some first aid onto his wound. He was sure it wasn't much and it'll heal soon enough. But feeling her warm soft hands touch his back like this, Shota felt a slight shiver. Ah, when was the last time he touched a girl? The last was Mela and before they broke up, they were a bit distant from each other. Closing his eyes, Shota ignored the pang that was felt in his chest just at the thought of Mela. He still cared for Mela, but he wondered when and if he would ever get over her? Maybe never...but he just hoped his heart won't continue to bleed out like this. He was certain that he will reach a breaking point soon. He hasn't yet and he was already this bad. Urgh. Pathetic Shota.

Leaning back against the couch, he kept his shirt off as he watched Ayumi head off to get something to drink. He thought back to her words. It didn't bother her? He frowned slightly. She really should be wary around men. Just because she was a little stronger than the average woman, she thought she can just be so casual around men and show off her skin like that? He let out a slight huff and felt even more irritated when she teased him about staying behind just because of a little scratch. His eyes narrowed as he reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to him. When she was close, he pulled her down onto the couch, moving over to restrain her arms as he was on top of her. He stared into her eyes as he let out a scoff. His eyes trailed down to the exposed flesh, his free hand moving down to lightly touch it. He stared back into her eyes as he told her while releasing her, "go change before we return to patrolling." She should at least know that much. It irritated him for reasons beyond him.

- - -

Namie giggled at Denki's little warning. Was that even a warning? Because if anything she would gladly continue to shower him with compliments. He deserved them in her opinion. She smiled up at him as she murmured back out, "but I'm only speaking the truth~ Plus I want to tell my boyfriend just how sweet and cool he is~" He was her boyfriend. Yes, she can get used to that. Hehe. She wouldn't mind healing him as long as she can enjoy him. Hehe. Namie nuzzled against him happily as she enjoyed his warmth. She blinked when he mentioned tomorrow. Hm? Pulling back so she can look him in the eyes, Namie listened to his ideas.

She smiled at his ideas. A movie and a dinner? That sounded like the perfect date to her. But before she can even tell him that was a good idea, he began to give her a flurry of short yet sweet kisses. Ah...she can definitely get used to this. She smiled happily against his lips before pulling back when he began to mention a walk instead of the movies. She giggled at him. Was he that excited for tomorrow? She knew she was excited. Her eyes shined at the idea of crepes but more so on the fact he just referred her to as his girlfriend. Oh, that got her heart beating in excitement! "I think all of that sounds like a really fun date. But eating a crepe while taking a walk sounds pretty good to me. And then that way we can save the movies for another date! What do you think?" She knew she would be asking Denki for plenty of dates now that they were together as a couple. Leaning up to plant a few kisses on his lips, Namie ran her hand along the side of his face, her finger caressing his lips as she told him, "but if you keep giving me such sweet kisses, I'm going to want more~" Her eyes shined as she smiled up at him.

Genkai Genkai
 
Aww, why couldn't he accept that he was sweet? Super sweet! If anything, she thought he was a whole lot nicer than she was. He really was so generous with his time, as a pro hero and as an ordinary guy around school. Though she would need to talk to Principal Nezu about not making Toshi work so hard. It wasn't fair. She didn't want hm continuing to overwork himself and not have any time to enjoy the life that was his own. Sure, being the Symbol of Justice was important but he was more than that, he was a person with wants and needs of his own. Mela hoped she could show Toshinori that she cared for him, in all aspects of his life, she would support him, not be a burden or liability.

Toshinori had tried to tell her, at one point, she could recall. But the timing was pretty off and it got a little messy. She felt bad and wished she could have spared him the heartache she unknowingly caused him. When he asked if she was happy, she glanced to him and pressed her lips together. Was she? Well yes, this was the happiest she had been in about a month. Being around Ruka was wonderful and supportive but being with Toshinori made her feel something different, something a best friend couldn't provide. But what was it exactly? "Yes. I think I am." She smiled shyly. Was she allowed to be happy after what she had done?

But people broke up all the time and moved on. So it wasn't like this was the first tragic thing to happen to mankind right? She had to mourn the loss of her and Shota's relationship but she also had to move forward and accept the relationship as done, the good memories were still there, easy to look back at. But she couldn't keep living in the past right? She had a great guy next to her, a guy who wanted to date her, who she also wanted to date. She couldn't mess it up again. Mela leaned over and brushed her lips along his, It did pain her to think he would sacrifice his own happiness for hers. She wanted him to be happy, truly happy. "Being with you makes me quite happy, Toshi." She muttered against his lips. Mela sat back once more, not wanting to bother him again with being too affectionate. "I hope you're happy too." Mela told him. Could she make him happy though? "I said it before, you more than anyone else, should be happy. You do so much for everyone else, don't put everyone else's happiness about your own. It would break my heart." She cuddled against him.

- - -

It did piss her off to have him save her. Not to mention he got injured in the process! What a jerk! It was one thing to save someone else but to save them and take the hit? She wasn't happy about that. She took responsibility for Aizawa's injury, even though she didn't ask to be saved, she was and that was that. So she had to make sure he was okay. She didn't care much about the dress or the skin she was showing, it was just skin. What was the big deal? Ayumi was hardly innocent, she knew what most men thought but that was their problem, not hers and if anyone tried anything, she would gladly break a hand or a knee or something else heh.

If she knew her exposed lower abdomen really bothered the guy, she probably would have thrown off her entire dress and see what he thought about that. Men. So easily distracted, it was almost embarrassing. She took another sip of water before she began to leave but suddenly found herself being pulled in the opposite direction. Ayumi's eyes widened as she flash of anger hit her. What the hell was he doing now?! Was he looking for a fight because she was pretty close to hitting him upside the head for being so handsy all of a sudden. And in her own house too, he was such a tease!

Freezing, she found herself pressed against Aizawa as he pinned her hands above her head, effectively trapping her between him and the couch. Her voice caught in her throat as she stared at him, speechless. Ayumi licked her lips when he scoffed and trailed a hand down to touch her exposed flesh. She didn't bother to hold back the soft moan of approval as he stared at her. When he let go and told her to change, she clenched her jaw. Her anger replaced with arousal. God, that bastard could be so damn hot when he just ordered her around. Ayumi huffed and flipped him off as she walked back to her bedroom, still not trusting herself to say anything out loud. Ayumi pulled off her dress and tossed it on the bed next to Nazo as she pulled out a black tank top which had a long black, almost sheer cape down the back. She came back and grabbed her hat. "Let's go." She said, heading out the door, wanting nothing more than to pin him back down on the couch. He had to be taunting her on purpose...right? She got on her broom and waited for Aizawa. "Hold on, Aizawa-kun." She teased him, looking over her shoulder.

- - -

He was cool? Really? She thought so?! He almost lost his mind again. Ahh he always wanted to be cool. Well obviously in his mind he was always cool but according to Kyoka and Eijiro, that wasn't necessarily the case. But what did they know when his very own girlfriend thought he was cool? Yes, that was one thing that Denki would love to hear over and over again. Though he told himself that sine he was dating someone as cute and special and sweet as Namie, he would have to be even more cool and be sure to take her out to tons of awesome places. They could create so many more memories together. It really warmed his heart.

Even though he had just suggested a few things, his mind was already considering other ideas. Like maybe the Zoo again? Or maybe the aquarium? Or maybe even that indoor rock climbing place? But maybe she wouldn't like something too physical for their first date. Maybe they could go play laser tag again? Or he could some kind of city-wide scavenger hunt? Ah so many ideas! When Namie said that crepes and a walk would be a good sequel to their Chinese dinner that night, he nodded. "Okay!" That worked with him. A movie may not be the best thing to end the night on anyway. There wasn't a way they could do much talking in a movie without getting kicked out.

So in his mind, he could enjoy school tomorrow and hopefully Haru wouldn't beat him up too much. He could then go back to the dorm and get ready. Maybe he could make reservations tomorrow before class? He also wanted to pick her up something nice for the date but were flowers too typical? Denki was far from typical so he wanted to think of something totally unexpected. "Oh? Is that such a bad thing?" He giggled at Namie's words. He leaned down and began to kiss all over her face, his light lips tickling her cheeks, nose, forehead, and chin. Yes, he could get used to this. He moved the hand by her head to his fingers were brushing through her locks, just wanting to see how she felt under his touch. He decided he'd have to experiment with what she liked. A good boyfriend had to know his girl's preferences right? He rested his forehead against her, panted softly. "Well I feel like we have a lot of kissing to make up for." He teased her as he kissed her lips, this time, it lasting a bit longer. Ah boyish hormones~

AiAi AiAi
 
He watched her with baited breath, wondering if he said something too out of line? Did he ask something that he shouldn't have? Mentioning how he liked her since way back then...ah...that was probably weird, right? That time he felt quite the heartache when he heard from Mela's own lips about her dating Aizawa-kun, but that was back then...and now is now. Right? Just as he was about to change the subject, Mela answered him. She thinks she is...? Was she having doubts? Ah, well he really can't blame her for doubting. Who would believe it if All Might came waltzing over and telling them that he was in love with them? But...it was Toshinori who said that to Mela. Perhaps she needed to hear it from All Might too? But...he was All Might and she knew that. Maybe he was just overthinking things? Yes, that was it.

As he looked over at her, Toshinori felt his breath taken away from him as Mela brushed her lips against his softly. Ah...his eyes closed shut as he enjoyed the feel of her soft lips against his own. He was a tad disappointed when she pulled away, but as he opened his eyes, he stared into her chocolate pair. Hearing her say those words, it only made him feel happier. More than anyone he deserves to be happy huh. He gave her a soft smile as he lightly patted her on the head. Staring at her with affectionate eyes, Toshinori told her, "you make me very happy Mela...very very happy....and you know what? I am happy if everyone around me is happy. Especially when you are happy. It may sound silly to you, but I don't mind. If everyone is happy...then that is my happiness."

Yes, he doesn't need to be happy to feel it. All he needed was for everyone else to be happy. She may say that it broke her heart, but this is what he loved to do. This is what he wanted to do. So doing something that he wanted...should bring him happiness, right? Placing a hand against her cheek, he told her after a moment of hesitation, "but...if I am allowed to get one thing for myself...then it has to be you, Mela-chan. Because you make me the happiest." He gave her a grin as he told her that. Mela was the one thing he would selfishly ask for if he was permitted to. Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her to his chest as he rested his chin on top of her head. Closing his eyes, Toshinori murmured out, "we can just stay like this...right?"

- - -

What the hell was he doing? Shota didn't quite understand himself, but he was just irritated by her attitude. She shouldn't just brush it off nor should she brush him off either! Did she not even see him as a man or something like that? Somehow...he can believe that to be true. He paid no heed to her little moan as it didn't register in his mind at that moment. He watched her walk off while flipping him off. He felt his eye twitch as he glared after her figure. Ah, he should have just patrolled on his own if he knew she was going to get all mad at him. Urgh. Sighing, Shota closed his eyes as he tried to calm himself down. He glanced down at his hand that touched Ayumi's skin. It was soft....realizing his train of thought, Shota shook his head as he stood up, pulling his shirt back over him.

Seeing Ayumi stomp out of her room, Shota lifted a brow. He couldn't tell whether she was still mad or not. Not wanting to make a fuss, Shota shrugged his shoulders as he walked out after her. He sat on the broom and hearing her teasing tone, Shota honestly cannot understand her. Wasn't she angry just minutes ago? Deciding to just go with it, he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her until her back hit his chest. His hand rested on her stomach as he murmured out against her ear in an amused tone, "looks like you changed." He couldn't feel her skin...that was good. Smirking, Shota told her, "let's go." Throwing her words right back at her.

The rest of the night was spent rather peacefully. Thankfully there weren't any more gang activities, but he supposed they found some stuff. Like those drunks that were making quite the ruckus. Shota made sure to teach them a little lesson while sobering them up rather quickly. He felt a tad of annoyance when the drunkards eyed Ayumi with rather nasty stares. Ugh, drunks. Once that was cleared with, Shota let out a sigh as he murmured out to himself, "I need a drink after all this..." this was just becoming a headache now. But even small jobs like this is what heroes do.

Eh? Eh? Ehhhh? Namie could feel her face heat up slightly as Denki teased at her before showering her with soft kisses. Ah...she didn't think he would do this~ But she wasn't complaining. No no...if anything she was quite enjoying herself. She closed her eyes, giggling slightly as his kisses tickled her skin. She could feel her heart race as her skin felt warm. Oh, the things he does to her. Does he not know how happy she is feeling? Just how crazy she is for him? Feeling his hand run through her hair, Namie leaned into his touch. Teal hues fluttered open as she stared into his eyes. Her lips were parted slightly as she felt quite flushed by all the kisses she just received.

Staring into his golden hues as he closed in on her by resting his forehead against her own, Namie felt her heart skip a beat at his words. Smiling softly, Namie leaned into the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck, "mmm I agree~" Namie murmured out against his lips before falling prey to those sweet lips of his. Angling her head to the side, Namie deepened the kiss as she pushed her tongue into his mouth, teasingly stroking his tongue. Swiping her tongue against his lips, she coaxed his tongue into her mouth. Ah, this felt nice and with his soft electric volts running through her, it felt even better. Quite a shocking kiss hehe. Moaning softly against his mouth, the two soon parted for much-needed air as she stared into his eyes panting slightly. Yes...they had much to make up for.

Grinning, Namie switched their positions so she was now on top. She laid down across him, finding her petite body fitting perfectly against his. Smiling down at him as she held herself up with her elbows, she leaned down and murmured out while softly nuzzling her lips across his, "now it's my turn to shower you with kisses~" She leaned down and began to kiss all over his face, much like how he did to her earlier. She then moved across to his ear, gently nibbling on the lobe, her tongue lapping out to swipe at the shell of his ear. Now then...will he short circuit again? Or will he give her a different reaction?

Genkai Genkai
 
Mela still wasn't sure if it was safe to put everyone's happiness above your own or make it conditional in a way. Toshinori was almost too selfless in a way and she hoped he had something to make him happy even when he wasn't working as All Might. She wanted nothing more than to make sure he was always happy, never sad or hurt. Sometimes that may not be so easy but Mela did believe he should be happy all the time. He worked so hard for so many and he gave up a chunk of his own life and peace so he could practice even more hero work as All Might. He really was incredible and she wanted to help him or protect his happiness somehow.

Was that silly or even possible? He worked hard for so many other people and yet so many didn't consider the toll it may take on him. Her face turned red when he admitted that she made him the happiest. She did? But how? She felt a noticeable flutter in her chest. Mela cuddled up against Toshinori as he pulled her to his chest, her legs tangling with his own. Closing her eyes, her fingers moved along the fabric of his shirt as she found herself steadily falling asleep. Yes, she felt quite comfortable like this and couldn't help but rest her head against his chest as her body began to relax, his scent having quite the calming effect.

- Thursday is off to a very different start hehe - - -

When she woke up a few hours later, it was around six in the morning, she and Toshi were laying on the couch together. Smiling softly, Mela tugged his arms around her as she went back to sleep for a few more minutes before Toshi stirred and they both sheepishly decided he should go so he could get ready for school. Once he left, Mela could have gone back to sleep but instead she headed out to the corner market and picked up some things just as they opened. She headed back up to her apartment and went to work on making her bento. Once finished, she took a shower and got ready for the day, though she did sneak a quick power nap after breakfast, not too surprised to see Todoroki at Ruka's.

Once at school, Mela knew she should talk to Shota. But maybe after school? She already felt nervous as she settled into her seat and glanced back to Ruka for emotional support. She didn't need to talk Shota about her and Toshi, no no. But she did want to check in and see how he was and if he was mad at her. But he had to be right? But she'd rather him be mad at her than sad. When he walked in with Ayumi, Mela glanced over to them both, her heart froze. Biting on her lower lip, she told herself she was going to have to get used to seeing and interacting with Shota again. She cared for him and it did hurt, not having him in her life. They couldn't go back to dating but they could be something like friends right?

Before she broke for lunch, she pulled Momiji aside and told him his meddling was helpful even though she hated to admit it and encourage such behavior. She told Momiji she and All Might would be enjoying lunch together. That wasn't such a lie. And she asked that Momiji give them some privacy which he was glad to do. Mela then headed off with her bento to track down Toshinori. The two enjoyed a quiet lunch together outside, in a more secluded part of the grounds of UA. Mela made some pickled vegetables, grilled chicken, sesame rice and edamame. She also brought some sweetened ice tea. It was a very nice little lunch date.

When Toshinori mentioned wanting to take her out tonight, she was rather surprised, mostly because she wasn't sure how readily he wanted to see her again. But she was quite happy he didn't want to wait very long so she accepted with a smile. After lunch, Momiji and Mela sparred but it was mostly Momiji bombarding Mela with questions about yesterday to which Mela just tried to keep things vague. As the school day came to an end, Mela went to get showered and changed. She headed off to the teacher's lounge, knowing if she didn't seek Shota out now, she might never make a move and she couldn't just pretend he didn't exist.

Knocking and poking her head in, Mela noticed it was just Ayumi and Shota working, probably midterm stuff. She stepped inside and walked over to them rather slowly. Her legs felt like lead. "Um." But did she call him Shota or Aizawa-sensei? Obviously the latter in class and around her peers but in private...she probably lost that privilege to call him Shota. That made her quite sad. When Ayumi left, Mela glanced off for a moment. "How are you doing...?" She asked Shota. Mela did really want to know. "I know you're probably still..." Her voice trailed off. He was mad or upset or sad or maybe even indifferent, he could fill in the blank there. "But I would like to still be friends."

Yes it was something most guys didn't want to hear after breaking up but she couldn't cut him out of her life. He was her soulmate. He would always be a part of her life. She missed him. But perhaps he needed more space? "I just hope we can someday get to that point but...all I want is for you to be happy." She said to him. "You will always mean a great deal to me." She said, glancing down. "So I do hope you don't just shut everyone out and decide you're better off alone because you're not...Shota-san." Was that okay maybe? She glanced up to him, so very tempted to reach out and hug him or even just take his hand. If she couldn't look after Shota, she hoped someone else could. She needed him to smile, even if not for her.

Shoto and Ruka had a very intimate evening together. While her massage hadn't gone according to plan, neither party seemed upset that things had gone a different way. In the end, both he and Ruka were left understandably exhausted and very satisfied. Shot held Ruka close as they both wound up falling asleep in each other's arms. Shoto wasn't sure why he was given a reward but he wasn't going to complain. He was looking forward to their weekend getaway, the room had been booked and he was hoping it would be a great treat for them both for having done a good deed for both Honda-san and Sohma-san.

- - - - - - Gooooood morning, baby -

Being able to wake up in the arms of his love was something Shoto would never take for granted. His mismatched eyes cracked open as sunlight was pouring through the drapes of Ruka's room. The candles were out and the room smelled of their intimate activities last night. He quickly looked over to check the time and saw it was about 6 in the morning. Shoto kissed the top of Ruka's head before he got up and pulled the blankets back around her body. As much as he wanted to see if she'd be in the mood for a quickie, which she likely would be he guessed, they didn't have time if they were going to eat.

Shoto took a quick shower and started to make breakfast. He made some tea for Ruka and took it back to her after he got changed in a fresh set of clothes he had brought in his car. He sat on the edge of her bed and stroked her hair, wishing today was Sunday and they were far away from the city and its distractions. If only they could skip school today. But he was fortunate he could at least fall asleep in her arms and then wake up in them. He knew that even though they had to go to school, the day was bound to be a good one based on how it had started. Shoto leaned over and kissed her softly as she blinked the sleepiness out of her eyes. "Morning sweetheart."

He handed her the cup of tea he made as he got up. "I'm going to take care of breakfast." He told her gently, wanting her to relax a bit longer. Shoto went back out to the kitchen to make some eggs, toast and sausage for him, Ruka and presumably Mela. It didn't surprise him when Ruka came out, wearing one of his shirts, intend on helping him. She ought to get ready for school but Shoto was quite happy to scoop her up in his arms and kiss her lovingly as they made breakfast together, discussing things from the weekend getaway, to the exchange students, to how their midterms may have gone.

Soon Shoto gave her butt an affectionate pat as he made her go take a shower now that breakfast had been made. While Ruka was getting dressed, Mela let herself in and seemed a bit caught off guard by Shoto but the two by now had developed a slightly better relationship. He had been supportive during her breakup with Aizawa and Mela seemed to respect that. Obviously she wasn't thrilled with the implication he had stayed over to seduce her best friend but oh well. Mela by now, had to know what was going on. The three had breakfast together and Shoto drove them back to school with Uede in the backseat, taking a light nap.

Meanwhile, Shoto held Ruka's hand as he drove, the day off to a very good start. Once at school, they went to class, most of the students still buzzing with excitement for Saturday's rematches. Shoto sat down in his seat and listened to Aizawa and Ayumi speak before it was time for classes to begin again. Sometimes Shoto felt the routine of school to be almost hellish in a way. But they had the weekend to look forward to, it wasn't much of a trip but it was something new to look forward to. A new change of scenery and a new place to make fond memories of him and his lover. Soon the exchange students would be back in Tokyo and things would be a lot less difficult when it came to getting some alone time with Ruka.

During lunch, his mother called and the two chatted before Ruka came up with the idea of inviting her out. Rei didn't really leave the institution much but since Rei was feeling quite lonely and a bit depressed, it seemed like a good idea to get her out and into the real world, if for but a few hours. Shoto decided he'd pick Rei up around 6 which would give him time with Ruka. When lunch ended, he kissed his thoughtful girlfriend, "I love you, see you after school." He said softly before they parted ways to start training. Work with Honda was still a bit annoying but he did his best to be patient with her and nudge her toward making a move with Yuki-san, wanting her to be happy and it seemed like the boy made her happy.

Eventually school let out and Tohru suggested she treat Ruka and Shoto to coffee for setting up the double date. When Shoto rejoined Yuki and Ruka, he slipped his arms around Ruka and kissed her. His lips nuzzled against her temple as the four decided a quick outing for coffee would be okay. Shoto drove them all downtown and parked. Once inside, he stood in line with Ruka, holding her close from behind, her back pressed against his back. "After this we can go shopping and hang at your place until I'll get my mother. You're so incredibly sweet and thoughtful. I adore you endlessly." Shoto muttered sweetly into her ear. He was very touched that Ruka was open to having his mother over for the night and he was going to find a special way to show Ruka just how much this small gesture meant to him.

- - -

When she felt him pull her back against him, until their bodies were quite close together, she almost snapped. This guy...he had to know what he was doing! Ayumi clenched her jaw until it began to hurt just so she didn't say anything back to him a his words brushed along the side of her ear. Did he want her to take him back inside and call of patrolling for the night? Ayumi breathed in as she somehow lifted them off the ground and flew off, it take a lot more effort than usual to fly, though that she was blaming on Aizawa. Ayumi took them down to a busier area of the city as they walked around, mostly so Ayumi wasn't too tempted to kiss the very life out of Aizawa, looking to help those in need.

The pair found some drunks who were causing some trouble. Ayumi found their stares more amusing than insulting and refrained from winking, knowing it would only escalate the situation. While Aizawa took care of them, Ayumi called in the police to make sure they all got home without incident. She turned to Shota when he expressed a need for a drink. "Ooh is that a date?" She teased him, deciding she would have to be a bit more bold in her advances. Either he knew and was teasing her or he didn't know but still also found ways to tease her. "I'd be happy to take you out for drinks, Aizawa-kun." She hummed.

- - Please let it be the weekend - - -

Sadly after their parols, they parted ways so they could both get some semblance of rest. Ayumi insisted she fly Shota back to his place, which she did, just as dawn began to break. She threw him a wink before she flew back to her apartment and fell into bed where she pulled Nazo close. A few hours later, her alarm was going off and she pushed herself out of bed. She slipped into black jeans, a dark maroon long sleeve shirt with the shoulders left exposed, and put on her hat. She decided against her usual black robe for today as she flew off to UA, hoping to catch some sleep at some point. She didn't do parolling more than twice a week because of how much it took out of her.

She couldn't imagine how awful Shota felt after doing this more frequently. No wonder he was so crabby. Ayumi spent time teaching during the morning, yelling at a few second years for being on their cell phones before she smashed them with her broom, reminding those in her class why they shouldn't misbehave. Come lunch time, Ayumi spent her time chatting Hizashi up, mostly to irritate Shota. She then spent most of the afternoon napping or grading papers. She didn't have parol tonight but tomorrow night she had to work and she had to wonder if Aizawa would be in the same boat as her.

Thinking back to him protecting her and then pinning her against the couch, her own couch even, Ayumi was hopeful that tomorrow night they could have even more fun. She decided her feelings and his actions were getting too strong to fight. She wanted to just grab him and kiss him and tell him he was stupid to still be hung up on a kid. But Ayumi knew if she did that, he'd surely reject her. But even if she were to be more tactful, what was to stop Shota from still rejecting her anyway? They bickered but to her that was just fancy foreplay. Still, if she asked him out and he said no, she didn't know how she'd handle that. Her gut was telling her he was interested but when would the timing be right?

That was still a mystery. At the end of classes, Ayumi looked up to see a certain Uede poke her head in. Ayumi had no intention of leaving for this conversation. She wanted to know what was going to be said. She kept working until Shota gave her a look. Fine. Whatever. Ayumi got her things and headed out, tempted to fly around and look in outside but decided to let Aizawa handle his business. It saddened her to consider the fact maybe they would get back together. She decided to head home for the afternoon. Her mind couldn't stop wondering what Shota and Mela would be talking about. She got back to her place and laid back down, still rather tired as Nazo jumped up to sit atop her head. Urgh, she felt suddenly very troubled.

When Namie's tongue entered his mouth, he let out a surprised sound. What was she doing there? His face turned red as he tried to keep his quirk in check, not sure how it would be if he shocked her when they were kissing so deeply. His mind was steadily become another blank slate as his tongue brushed shyly against her own, finding it a strange wet feeling but one that was also a by hypnotic. He couldn't explain it but somehow, he liked it. His tongue surrendered to hers as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. Denki moaned lightly, a few bolts slipping into his mouth as the wetness only seemed to amplify some of the sparks he shared with Namie.

Upon the unlocking of their lips, Denki let out a long sigh, trying to catch his breath. Whew, that had been quite the rush! Before he could finish collecting himself, he found Namie was suddenly on top of him. He blinked a few times and rested his hands around her hips, finding her to be very cozy against his own larger form. When her tongue and teeth sought his ear, he let out a small half-giggle, half-squeal. Eheh.She liked using that tongue of hers for very interesting things. Denki shivered and tightened his hold around her hips. "Ah N-Namie-chan~" He let out a small helpless whine.

Suddenly he felt very much at her mercy. He brought up a hand to run through her hair as he tilted his head to the side to offer himself up to her. Her tongue was making him awfully ticklish. Denki licked his lips at her. "You are very sweet." Denki chukled, still trying to get used to all of this. It felt so good. So very good. He really wanted more but before he could move his lips up to mark her neck, there was a clearing of the throat as Eijiro had finally come down. By now the day was pretty much over and the two had to head back to UA. "Come on loverboy, we gotta go back." Eijiro smirked, quite glad Denki had finally done something. Eijiro supposed he owed Kyoka some money now that he lost the bet.

Denki gave Namie a sad look but knew he had to go. He shifted and sat up with her while Eijiro waited outside so Denki and Namie could say goodbye. Rubbing his head, he had to wonder where the day had even gone. Time flies when you get a girlfriend as cute and lovable as Namie. He leaned over and kissed her, "I'll see you tomorrow at 5." He told her softly before kissing her one more time before he got off the couch and headed off with Eijiro so they could grab some dinner at the cafeteria. Of course the whole bus ride back, Eijiro was hounding the boy with questions and giving him make out advice but Denki was too happy and tuned out most of his friend's words. Ah today had been electrifying.

- - - - Thursday is almost Friday right? - -

Come morning, Denki called a good looking Chinese restaurant and made reservations at 5:45 and ensured Izuku and Eijiro could look after Peachy while he was gone for the evening. Denki then sent a good morning text to Namie with a picture of him and Peachy waving to her. He then headed off to class, feeling like the luckiest man alive. He did it. He finally made a move and he hadn't been rejected. On top of that, it was Namie. She was so lovely and adorable and as he was discovering, a bit feisty with that tongue of hers eheh. He mostly day dreamed throughout the morning and during training with Haru, Denki managed to land a few hits, feeling all the more confident in himself.

When classes let out for the day, Denki had a lot of time before he had to go pick his girlfriend up so he went back to the dorm to work on his little gift for Namie-chan. He eventually finished his gift but worried it was too cheesy. But he hoped it was okay. He rubbed his neck and decided to get out what he intended to wear tonight. He decided upon black slacks, a red button down dress shirt and a black tie. That would be okay right? Denki spent the next few hours hanging out with Eijiro and Deku before he got dressed and grabbed his gift before he headed off, his friends cheering for him. Denki gave them a thumbs up and happily jogged down to grab an Uber to pick Namie up. He was pretty excited to see her and take her out and show her a great time! Yeah, he was going to prove he was a worthy boyfriend to her and make her feel very special, because she was. "Your boyfriend is on his way, see you soon!" He texted as he got in the car.

AiAi AiAi
 
Feeling Mela against him calmed him down greatly. Just having her in his arms like this was beyond anything he could have ever imagined. Er...well for the most part. Ahem. Smiling to himself, Toshinori didn't even realize that he fell asleep like this with her in his arms. As the morning rays filtered through the living room blinds, Toshinori felt himself stir awake. His sunken deep blue hues fluttered open before closing briefly. Ah, what time was it? Opening an eye, he looked around for his clock but realized there wasn't his clock...or more like...where was he? Trying to sit up, he realized he couldn't. Huh?

Looking down, Toshinori nearly had a heart attack as he found Mela sleeping in his arms. W-What!? Looking around once more, his eyes cleared up as he recalled spending his afternoon with Mela yesterday and then...ah...he must have fallen asleep! Noticing that she was awake as well, he gave her a small shy smile as he greeted her. "G-Good morning Mela-chan...um did you sleep well?" He sure did, but he hoped he hasn't overstayed his welcome or anything like that. As the two were still a bit flustered about what happened, Toshinori stood up as he mentioned, "a-ah I should get going...um I'll see you at school?" Hopefully during lunch? Waving goodbye to her and giving her a quick peck on the cheek, Toshinori sped off to his house to get ready for work.

After a quick shower and shoving some toast into his mouth, Toshinori jumped off as All Might to get to work on time. Arriving at the office, he greeted the other staff as he walked over to his desk. He didn't really understand why he even hurried to school when he only taught the afternoon lessons. Sweatdropping at his own flustered nature, Toshinori decided to just go out and check on the flowers in the courtyards. That way he won't be antsy and impatient about lunch coming by sooner. He was filled with happiness just with the thought of seeing Mela again, oh but she doesn't have to spend lunch with him! Surely, Kurotsuki Shoujo and Mela's other classmates would want to eat lunch with her too? Oh, but he really did want to see her.

Trying not to think too hard on it, Toshinori focused his attention elsewhere. Though in the end, all his thoughts included Mela in some form or another. In the end, Toshinori ended up thinking about what sort of date to take Mela out tonight. Yes, tonight. He wanted to take her out as soon as possible so he can express his feelings to her properly...and to also ask her out formally. Yes, that must happen. The sooner the better. He wondered if she would like to go watch a movie and then dinner? Ah, but that was too cliche and normal. Plus he wanted to confess to her, not sit silently in a theater with her! Hmm, something romantic maybe...? Oh yes! he knew exactly what to do now!

Before he knew it, lunch came rolling around and he was more than excited. Ah but no no. Don't get all hopeful! No no..he should just be glad about whatever comes. But he was quite happy when he saw Mela come by. The two shared a delicious lunch made by Mela herself. He smiled at her, silently noticing how she began to cook her own bento instead of bringing the one Kurotsuki Shoujo would always make for Mela. Was it all for him? Somehow that thought made him happy. Very happy. As they were eating, Toshinori praised Mela for her cooking while mentioning, "it's so good! Oh by the way, um I was wondering if you'd be free tonight? I was um hoping to take you out on a d-date." He looked down nervously, wondering if it was too sudden? Too soon? But as she accepted, he gave her a bright smile, happy to hear that. "O-okay! Then I'll come to pick you up around 6, would that work for you?" He also added a small note to Mela about wearing semi-formal, but definitely something warm. Hehe.

As lunch came to an end, Toshinori gave Mela a happy wave before heading off to watch over class 3-A in place of Aizawa along with Ayumi. The two were watching over the class while Aizawa was given other work from Principal Nezu. Though Toshinori sometimes couldn't help but wonder if that was just all an excuse? Ayumi seemed fine with it and it didn't bother with his schedule so Toshinori didn't mind as well. Once the afternoon lessons were finished, Toshinori left to go and get ready for the date~! It was a surprise of where he was taking her, but he hoped she liked it.

Getting dressed in some black slacks and a white button-down shirt, he wore a navy cardigan over it as he wondered if this was alright? He didn't want to dress too formal, but he didn't want to look too casual either. After getting dressed, he headed over to Mela's place in his car. Yes, he had a car. Just because he can fly around doesn't mean he didn't own a car. He had one, but he seldom used it was all. He bought Mela a small heart-shaped box filled with chocolate. He wondered if that was too cheesy? Shaking his head, he arrived at her place and knocked on the door nervously. Smiling, he greeted her, "a-ah Mela-chan...hey. A-am I too early?" He wondered aloud nervously. He decided on taking Mela to a cozy family-owned Italian restaurant. It wasn't a super fancy or large place, but the food was delicious. He then had other special plans, but that was a surprise for later~

- - -

So the massage didn't go as planned, but Ruka didn't mind the changes to her plan. Oh no, by all means, she quite enjoyed herself that night with Shoto. The two shared a rather lovely evening together, one that Ruka would love to have again and again...and again. Hehe. She could never get tired of Shoto and just having him around filled her with such happiness. The two soon fell into a deep sleep as their activities caught up with them. Ehe. She felt quite comfortable in Shoto's arms and slept peacefully. Lately, she hasn't been getting as many nightmares as before. Ever since she started going out with Shoto, it has started to die down...that was good.

- Morning with my love hehe -

As the morning light filtered through, Ruka shut her eyes tighter, leaning in closer to her source of warmth which happened to be Shoto. But that warmth was gone yet somehow she still felt it. Hm? Eyes slowly fluttering open, she noticed Shoto's warm hand running through her hair. Staring sleepily over at her lover, Ruka blinked a few times as she sat up. Leaning into the kiss, Ruka murmured back, "mmm morning love..." it was morning already? But seeing Shoto first thing made her happy. She gave him a sleepy but happy smile. Grabbing the tea in her hands, she gratefully took a sip out of it as he mentioned handling breakfast. Eh? But she can cook for them~ Before she can complain about it, Shoto headed out to the kitchen. Ruka sipped her tea, the caffeine doing its job in waking her up.

Sky blue hues clearing up, Ruka reached out and grabbed Shoto's shirt. Wearing it, she combed out her long pink hair before trotting out of her room. She gave him a soft pout as she walked over to his side, telling him softly, "I'll help." Of course, she'll help. She would love to cook with him. Smiling as he swept her into his arms, Ruka eagerly kissed him back before turning to help him get breakfast ready. She also made sure to get lunch ready for them too. She wondered if Mela would want lunch, but call it her best friend's intuition, Ruka had a feeling Mela already had plans for lunch. Smiling, Ruka talked with Shoto about many things including their mini-vacation coming up. She was quite excited about it and was looking forward to spending time with Shoto. The two can get away from their daily lives and just enjoy each other to the fullest. Oh yes, she was definitely going to enjoy him. Hehe.

As she finished packing their lunch, Ruka let out a small whine when he patted her bottom. Pouting over at him, she was soon smiling as she gave him a quick peck before heading off to take a quick shower. He was too sweet. She really didn't deserve him. He was honestly too good for her in her opinion as he was so loving and sweet and just so considerate of her and heck he spoiled her nonstop~! She was certain others around them got a cavity by just seeing how sweet he was to her. Heck, Ruka is surprised she didn't get one yet hehe. Once she showered, Ruka got changed into her uniform. Brushing her wet locks free of tangles, she headed out to see Mela over. Ruka smiled over at her friend, giving Mela a quick kiss on the cheek and a hug. She didn't worry about her wet hair since Shoto can easily dry it for her~ And if not, well she didn't mind, but of course, Shoto dried her hair for her. How sweet hehe.

After eating breakfast, the three headed to school in Shoto's car. Ruka held onto Shoto's hand as she looked out the window, watching the scenery change. She wondered how class will be today? There was always something new at school and it always kept her on her toes. U.A. definitely had their ways of keeping their students up and about. Most of the time it included a lot of training, but by now she was used to it....she supposed. As classes began, Ruka listened in and took notes. When lunch came around, she saw Mela hurrying off and she wondered where she was off to in such a hurry. She smiled slightly, happy to see Mela get some bounce back to her though it still seemed quite apparent that Aizawa was making her friend sad. Ruka did her best to not glare daggers at Aizawa, but it ended up happening regardless.

Walking off to have lunch with Shoto, Ruka leaned against him as his mother called him. She blinked a few times before coming up with an idea, "oh um, if you don't mind...why don't we have dinner at my place with your mother?" Ruka smiled over at Shoto, always glad to welcome Shoto and his family over to her place. Plus she's been wanting to cook for Rei again and this was a perfect opportunity~! Rei can get out of the institution for a little while but not be overwhelmed with the public crowd by dining at Ruka's place. Yes, that was a good idea, right? After making plans with Shoto for after school, Ruka kissed him back as she headed off to train, "hehe love you too~" She watched him head off to get changed before she went to change as well. For most of the training, Ruka had her fun teasing Yuki...while properly training of course. But seeing Yuki get flustered for once was an amusing sight.

After school, Tohru suggested going out for some coffee, Ruka thought it would be fun and so they all met up and headed to downtown. Ruka giggled when Shoto showered her with kisses the moment they were reunited after practice. By now, everyone around them got used to the affectionate displays the couple would shower each other with. Standing in line to place their order, Ruka leaned back into Shoto's chest, enjoying his warmth and hint of coolness. Hehe. Ruka nodded her head at his suggestion though his last few words made her blush. "A-ah... it's no big deal...plus I've been wanting to cook for Rei-san again." She smiled sweetly up at Shoto, leaning up to peck his cheek. Ruka went up and ordered herself a strawberry frappucino. She was more of a tea fan than coffee, but she can appreciate a sweet frappucino anytime hehe. After spending some time with Tohru and Yuki, Ruka and Shoto left early as Ruka gave them a wink, "have fun with your date you two~" She held back a giggle as she ran off with Shoto. The two went to the grocery store where Ruka decided to cook up some traditional styled food for dinner. If Shoto enjoyed it, then she was certain his mother would too. Afterward, the two headed back to her place to hang out until Shoto would go and pick up Rei.

Women are confusing creatures. Shota decided upon that as he had no clue what Ayumi was planning when she mentioned a date. She knew he broke up with Mela, so why was she saying that? Didn't she know he was still obviously not over Mela? Or well...hm. Sighing, Shota parted ways with her once their patrols were done with, but of course, she insisted on dropping him off. Not one to fight for a free ride back home without having to use his legs, Shota let her do as she pleased. He wondered how she had so much energy still left after doing a night patrol. He can only watch her fly off before turning around to head inside for some sleep. Finding Mi on his bed, Shota fell into his bed next to the fluffball, sleep quickly overtaking him.

His dreams were blank for the most part, but a haunting feeling woke him up as he felt Mela's lingering touch on running through his hair. Eyes wide in surprise, Shota let out a long sigh. Well..its been a while to dream of Mela and yet here he did it again. Holding back another sigh, Shota took a quick shower in hopes of clearing his mind before heading off for work. He fed Mi beforehand and left soon after. He wasn't really looking forward to working today, but work was work. Whether he liked it or not didn't matter. Arriving at school, he greeted the other teachers before heading over to class 3-A along with Ayumi. How she came to follow him to class was a wonder, but he didn't complain. As he explained what the schedule would be for today, Shota added, "your matches are coming up soon. Be sure to do your best." He glanced over at the students, his gaze lingered briefly on Mela before he headed out. At least he was able to look at her without nearly suffocating. That was a good start...right?

For the rest of the afternoon, Shota had to deal with Hizashi and Ayumi being goofballs during lunch much to his annoyance before it became peaceful as the afternoon lessons started. He was given a task by Principal Nezu which included some paperwork...for what? He had no clue, but he had a feeling it had something to do with the upcoming Sports festival or something...but he wasn't about to question it. No no...he much rather not try and guess what his genius of a boss had in mind. When the afternoon classes were over with, Shota was still working on some papers when Ayumi came and started working on her's as well. Well...at least she was quiet he supposed.

But when the door clattered open, Shota looked over wondering who it was only to feel his heart thud against his chest rather painfully. Mela...? He blinked a few times, keeping an impassive face as he wondered if she needed to speak to Ayumi maybe? But no...it seemed like she had come to speak to him. Shota stared at her, silently asking her what was wrong but seeing her hesitate, Shota glanced over at Ayumi. Ah, she had to go for now. Shota gave Ayumi a look and watched as the older brunette left. Ah, hopefully, she'll behave and not listen in from the outside or something like that. Once Ayumi left, Shota turned his attention back to Mela, "yes...?" he asked her softly, not trusting himself to say anything else at the moment.

How was he, she asks? He held back a scoff, wondering if she knew just how he felt? He felt quite broken and lost...there was no anger there directed at her...no. If anything he was mad at himself. Mad that he couldn't make her happy and mad that he lost his chance to be with her. To keep her happy. But no...it was all too late anyway. Ah, no stop it Shota. Stop thinking like that. Pushing aside his raging feelings, he listened to her silently. She wanted to still be friends? Was that possible...? Can he possibly be happy just staying as her friend? He...wasn't sure. But as he continued to listen to her, his heart hurt all the more. She wanted him happy? Didn't she know that he wanted her to be happy? That he was mad at himself because he couldn't make her happy? He meant a lot to her? He wanted to laugh that off, tell her that she wouldn't have left him if she cared for him still....but no. That was just his hurt side talking. That wasn't what he really meant.

Letting out a sigh, Shota spoke up finally after a long moment of silence. Trying to ignore the pang that attacked his chest when she called him with a -san, Shota spoke up, "I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy...but I hope you find happiness." He paused as he looked over at her. Sighing at her downcast expression, Shota flicked her forehead as he stood up, "stop making such a face. That's not who you are, right?...so if you want me to be happy...then go and be happy yourself." He looked down at her sternly before his eyes softened, "thanks...Me-Uede." No, he had no right to call her that. Not yet at least. Patting her head lightly, Shota walked out of the room. He...was very sad and hurt right now, but he needed to hear this from Mela. A closure...yes, this was what it was.

Walking outside, Shota looked up at the sky, letting out a long sigh. Heading back home, Shota fed Mi and just watched the brown little fluff for a while longer before heading out once again. He couldn't stay home...it just felt...wrong for some reason. Maybe he was just unsettled? No...he was sad and he was looking for comfort. But who? Where? Stopping by a store and grabbing a few drinks and some food, Shota found his feet leading him to...Ayumi's place? He blinked a few times before ringing the doorbell. Well...he was here already. Might as well? As the door opened up, Shota let himself in as he handed her the bags while saying, "drinks and food. You really can't complain about that." But as she began to open her mouth up to let out some nagging comment, Shota rested his forehead against her shoulder as he muttered out, "she said she wanted to stay friends with me...it was a closure." Did he come searching for Ayumi for comfort...? No...it can't be, right? More like, why did he just tell her that!?

Hearing Denki's little giggles along with a few small sparks coming from his lips to his cheeks, Namie found kissing Denki to be quite enjoyable. She giggled slightly herself when Denki giggled. It was just too cute. Ah, but feeling his hands on her hips she realized that Denki may be cute, but he definitely can be manly as well. She felt a soft flutter in her chest as Denki called her sweet. Eh? Was she? Him moving his head to the side...ah did he want more? Somehow, it made her happy. She enjoyed the feel of his hand running through her hair. Closing her teal hues, Namie smiled slightly as she began to place soft kisses across his neck. Lightly sucking on the mark she made earlier to make it a little deeper in color.

Before the two can get any further, a soft coughing sound was heard. Her head snapped up to see a grinning Eijiro. Ah, guess it was times up. She wondered just how much longer will Eijiro be asleep or doing whatever it was he was doing before he came downstairs to her and Denki. Namie gave Eijiro a small sheepish smile. She waved to Eijiro before turning her attention to Denki. She giggled at the sad look he gave her as she sat up with him on the couch. Placing her hand on his head, Namie told him sweetly, "I'll call you later, okay?" Feeling him kiss her, Namie can only nod her head at his words. Ah yes...tomorrow...yeah. She smiled as she stood up after him, intent on walking him to the door when he kissed her once more. She leaned into the kiss as she saw him off, "I'll see you tomorrow~"

Later that night she gave Denki a call before heading off to sleep. The next morning, Namie woke up and got ready for school. Somehow, school seemed a lot easier to tolerate when she thought of what was to come later that day. As she was heading off to school, she got a text from Denki along with an adorable photo of him and Peachy. She giggled at the photo before sending him one back of her blowing a kiss with a morning text. Giggling softly, Namie headed off to class. Oh, how she can't wait for after school~!

The match went by rather quick for Namie as she was lucky enough to get an easy opponent for the day. They were a healer just like her, but a little different from her. She was able to defeat her opponent using only physical combat, something that she was proud of. Heading home after school, Namie took a shower before digging her closet for something cute to wear. She wanted to look extra cute for Denki, but she wondered if cute would be enough? Maybe he would like something pretty or mature or even sexy? She nibbled on her lower lip as she searched her closet for something good.

Finding a rather cute looking dress, Namie decided to wear that for the night. Plus it had a hint of an oriental flair to it and she thought that was just perfect as they were going to a Chinese restaurant. Hehe. Namie's dress was made out of black and soft yellow with hints of white. Her top half of the dress was styled in an Oriental fashion with a high collar and a peek of her chest with the little hole in the center. Then her dress parted to all black with a slit on one side of her dress. It had white pleats on the bottom with golden designs woven in. She wore matching yellow cuffs around her wrists before wearing her black and gold heeled boot that had the same golden designs on it. Brushing her hair, Namie tied her sage green hair into a bun on the back of her head, holding it in place with a black hairpin that had a dangling golden charm on it. She had her bangs hanging loose as it framed her face.

Taking a look at herself, she nodded her head. It was a little bit of cute and mature to it? Or was that sexy? Hmm, she wasn't sure but she hoped Denki will like it. Hehe. Smiling to herself, Namie picked up her phone as she received a text from Denki. Oh? She smiled widely at his words, a warm flutter dancing in her heart as she giggled softly to herself. Ah, he was too cute. She couldn't get enough of him. Replying back, Namie sent him, 'Okay~! Your girlfriend can't wait to see her boyfriend~!' Ah, it made her cheeks turn red as she sent that to him. Girlfriend...boyfriend...giggling happily to herself, Namie sat down on her couch with a dreamy look on her face.

As the door rang, Namie got up eagerly. Opening the door, Namie was greeted with the sight of a very handsome looking Denki. Smiling happily, she greeted him cheerfully, "Denki-kun~!" Moving forward, she wrapped her arms around his neck as she leaned up and kissed him on the lips. Pulling back, she admired his outfit as she told him, "you look so handsome~! My handsome boyfriend, hehe." She smiled up at him as she stepped back to let him inside. She wondered how he thought of her outfit? "So um, what do you think?" She couldn't help but ask him. If he thought it not good, she can just go change! They were still at her house so that so very much possible! "I-I can go change if you don't like it.." she mumbled off, not sure what he thought of it. Maybe he found it weird since she sort of went for matching the place where they were going to eat...? Was that nerdy...?

For him to apologize for not making her happy, hurt far greater than any arrow which had pierced her during training. No. Why couldn't he see that he had made her so very very happy? How could he look back and think she had been anything but happy with him? At least for the most part, she had been happy and her issues were hers, not due to him. All she wanted wanted for Shota, was for him to be happy. But she questioned if being friends would help or harm that goal she had for him. When he flicked her forehead and got up, she was worried that if he was to be happy, if it would be better if she wasn't in his life anymore and that thought stung quite a bit.

Shota's eyes softened slightly after he told her to be happy. Before he left he did call her Uede, which did hurt but she knew she deserved this pain so she told herself not to complain. Mela glanced off and watched him go, letting out a breath she didn't know she had been holding. When the door closed, she leaned back against the desk and rubbed her face, telling herself not to start crying again. But to know that Shota felt responsible for this, was too much to bear. She eventually headed home, trying to tell herself that maybe someday Shota wouldn't blame himself or hate her. Mela wanted to focus on having a good time tonight.

Even though she felt a little guilty about going on a date tonight, she reminded herself that this what she wanted. She couldn't let the past cloud the present. Shota-kun would be fine, he'd see there was someone else out there for him, someone who wasn't as stupid as she was. Mela flipped through her clothes, now wondering what she had that was semi-formal. Oh, it was a tricky line to walk. Mela wasn't sure what she'd be doing but she was sure she'd have a good time, given the company eheh. She wondered if she might get a chance to lure Toshinori out of his shell tonight. He was so nervous when she kissed him but she had to wonder if it would be better to just go for it. But she also didn't want him to pass out.

Settling on a light pink dress that went to her knees, she tied a matching pink ribbon in a strand of her hair. The dress was flowy but comfortable and cozy enough for the chilly evening. The shoulders and neckline were black, as well as her gloves, belt and trim. She sent a picture to Ruka to show her that she was going to go out tonight. This was a pretty big step but she did want to take it. When there was a knock, she opened it and smiled, so very glad to see Toshinori. "Nooo you're just fine." She waved a hand with a smile, fighting the urge to hug him. She accepted the chocolates, bowing her head. Aw he was so thoughtful. She slipped on her black heels and headed out with him. "Thanks for picking me up." She smiled as she got in the car, chuckling at the thought of Toshi or All Might just driving around like they weren't pro heroes. Ayumi-sensei probably didn't have a car though. As he drove, she reached over and ran her fingers through his long bangs. "So I slept pretty well last night...did you~?"

How funny was it that he had so cleverly spent the night on the first date? Mela's tears from this afternoon seemed to fade away as she sat beside Toshinori. "You look nice tonight, very cozy." She smiled, telling herself to refrain from crawling onto his lap when he was driving heh. Ah no, clean thoughts, Mela! Be good. To her knowledge, good girls were rewarded and maybe by the end of the night, she might earn herself a kiss from her cute date~? Mela knew and accepted she'd have to share All Might with the world and that was fine, she loved that about him. But tonight, Toshi was all hers.

It really was generous of Ruka to open up her home to him and his mother. He was hopeful she'd never extend the same offer to his father as he didn't really want his father bumbling around breaking things. His father was a big man and Shoto didn't want to imagine him poking around Ruka's apartment and trying to make dinner for them. No no, he wanted Ruka's apartment to remain in tact but also have good memories, unlike his own home. He smiled gently at the peck and watched as Ruka made her order before he added his own, getting a plain black coffee. Tohru got a jasmine tea while Yuki enjoyed a green tea. It seemed everyone's tastes were varied but everyone was able to get something to suit their cravings.

The four chatted about the rematches and how things might go. Tohru mentioned that Momiji-kun was trying to have some kind of party which may turn into an overnight thing if people were interested. Shoto gave a look to Ruka, wondering if they might get an invite but he was sure Momiji would say something tomorrow to the class. It sounded like it could be fun. Or chaotic. Heh. When the two left to go to the movies, Shoto couldn't help but smile, feeling almost like a proud father of sorts. he was hopeful the two would be able to make something happen between them but he and Ruka could only push them so far before they had to do things on their own.

Heading off with Ruka, Shoto helped buy and carry their groceries back to the car before he drove back to help Ruka, or stay out of the way heh. The boy worked on some reading for English while he listened to Ruka cook. This was pretty nice, sitting around, relaxing,listing to his girlfriend cook for him after a long day. He found his mind wandering to the idea of...marriage or at least living together. It was too soon for any of that surely but Shoto couldn't help but feel a bit hopeful that someday in the future, he could come home to Ruka and go to sleep with her in his arms. Being able to wake up with her this morning had been such a treat. it was simple but it brought him a lot of joy and he knew tonight, he'd miss that feeling unless he was able to spend the night again? Shoto wondered if he could be so lucky.

"I'm gonna get going, love." He got up after checking his phone. Yep, he could get used to this. it felt so natural. Shoto headed over behind her and slipped his arms around her waist, nuzzling his lips in the side of his face. He had changed into a pair of jeans and a simple grey tee shirt so he was a bit more comfortable at dinner. "You really are something special." He kissed her cheek before he stepped back, knowing he may get distracted if he lingered too long. She smelled so good and so did the cooking. "I'll be back in about 20 or 30." He said as he headed out the door, grabbing his wallet and keys from the table where he was laying near on the couch. Shoto drove to get his mother but first he made a quick detour, deciding to grab some flowers for Ruka, just as another reminder that he loved her. He picked out some red roses and then got some white roses for his mother. He picked her up at the institution and signed the proper forms and discussed her mental health with a nurse before he escorted her back to the car.

Once back at Ruka's, he let Rei in first who looked around, impressed with the space but also a little nervous. But upon seeing Ruka again, it was clear Rei relaxed a bit. "Thank you so much for having me over." Rei bowed her head. She tugged her son down to her, "She will make a fine wife." She nudged him. Shoto blushed and handed his mother her bouquet before he moved over to present Ruka with hers. "For my love and forever soulmate." He smiled to Ruka as Rei quietly smiled at them, so happy to see their bond growing stronger than ever. Shoto didn't think there had to be a special day for him to remind Ruka how important she was to him.

After a light nap, Ayumi still didn't feel much better. What had Mela and Aizawa discussed? Surely she was just telling him about school progress. She really wasn't sure but she had a feeling if the girl came to him wanting to reconcile and try again, Aizawa was bound to accept the offer. Ayumi looked to Nazo in her arms, making a face. Maybe this was karma catching up to her? The one time she catches actual feelings for someone and it's a prickly man who isn't over his adorable ex who happens to be his student? Urgh it was like Ayumi was willingly flinging herself into a field of landmines or something. She set her cat down, as no amount of cuddles were enough of a distraction from her what ifs.

Aizawa barely thought about her, if anything she was sure he looked right through her most of the time, wishing she was Mela. There was no way Ayumi would be happy as some slightly older replacement or ghost of a girlfriend past. She went to take a long bath and try to tell herself that Aizawa wouldn't get back together with Mela. Mela and him were not long term material. Surely he could see how good their time was and that it didn't have to last forever. Mela wasn't the only person who could make him happy. Once her bath was done and drained, she slipped into something more cozy, a black cotton babydoll nightgown that reached right above her knees and it had lace ruffles around her bare shoulders which fell off to the sides and the same kind of trim around the bottom. It was pretty girly but the guys she wore it around seemed to approve.

The nightgown had a few buttons that went up her torso and kept the neckline mostly modest. Sure i wasn't late but where else would she go tonight? She floated off to see what she could do about dinner. She was clearly intent on staying in and watch the news or some bad reality tv. She knew she couldn't focus on grading or reading so she wanted to do something to distract herself. Pouring herself a glass of whisky on the rocks, she took a few sips and decided to just ask Aizawa tomorrow morning when she saw him. She had a right to know what he and a student were talking about right? At the sound of a doorbell, she floated on over, setting her drink by the table next to the door.

She opened it and felt her feet fall right back to the ground. What in the world? She stepped back, finding herself a bit under-dressed for this kind of company, or maybe just right amount heh. She took the bags, her arms resting by her side as he unapologetically invaded her personal space and resting his forehead against her shoulder. Before she could complain about him just showing up, he mentioned what Mela had wanted to talk about. Friends huh? That was better than what they were at the moment right? She set the bags down and slipped her slender pale arms around him and pulled him inside, tempted to joke he wasn't the date she was waiting around for. "Well, you could use friends." She teased him as she pushed him lightly over to the couch while she took the bags over and sat down beside him, not too shy about what she was wearing after she got over the shock of her sudden guest. She was actually flattered and relieved to see him tonight.

Ayumi fished out a bottle of wine he had brought and twisted it open, handing it to him. "She wants you to move on. You've wallowed in enough misery, it's time for you start smiling and actually living." Ayumi smiled to him. "The world hasn't ended...besides the sooner you move forward, the sooner some lovely lady will sweep you off your feet and make you so much happier." Ah did he have no idea? Could she not be anymore obvious? "You'd be a great catch, Aizawa-kun. Not to brag, but I would be a great catch too~" He couldn't deny that at least, right?

- - -

The car ride was a bit lengthy due to traffic but it gave him time to calm his nerves. He wanted to make sure this was a great night and ensured she'd want to go out with him again. If he was dumped after the first date, he'd be crushed. Trying to stay positive, he just focused on having a good time. if he and Namie enjoyed themselves then there was no reason to worry. He just didn't want to screw this up, he screwed up on a lot of things but he really was trying to be better, more assertive like Haru had told him to be. Once he pulled up, he had the car wait for a few minutes while he headed up to the door and checked himself over before he knocked and waited, his heart pounding against his chest.

When Namie opened the door, he smiled to her. She looked really cute but also a bit mature. In a good way! He was worried He didn't dress well enough.As Namie pulled him close, he rested his hands on her hips as he kissed her lightly, noticing just how much he had missed the feel of her lips against his own. So sweet and tender hehe. Stepping inside for a moment, he rubbed his neck sheepishly at her compliments. "Awh n-no I'm not that great. I mean you look great. Really great." He assured her, a bit sad she didn't know just how adorable but also womanly she looked. He didn't like it when people were so hard on themselves. And he was pretty aware girls in today's society felt all the more pressure to look a certain way.

Ah he had listened to Kyoka's rants about equality for a long time heh. But still, he hated to hear her so self-conscious when she looked amazing. But she always looked amazing. Didn't she know how beautiful she was? He kissed the top of her head. "Namie-chan, you look beautiful, surely you know you're gonna turns a bunch of heads tonight. Haha so let's go enjoy our date!" Denki took her hand and pulled her out the door, not wanting to wait for their date to start any longer. He also didn't want Namie to change when she looked so good, she was being silly. If anything, he felt he needed to change but he wanted them both to be comfortable and focus on each other. That's what mattered most right? But he had no issue kissing her all over and telling her how wonderful she looked, perhaps after dinner when they could afford some distractions?

Once in the car, he gave the man instructions as the car took off. Sitting back, he remembered his small gift but decided he would give it to her when they were eating. "You know now that we're uh dating, I'd love to meet your parents." He mentioned to her, his chest tightening. Ah that would be a big step. Was it too soon to think about that? But it was only right, right? "And my parents would love to have us over to eat I'm sure." He added, not wanting her to feel like it wasn't a two way street. His mother was so excited he finally found a girl but of course she was pestering him more than ever to bring her by the house. "I mean if you're um okay with that." His face flushed for a moment, not wanting to make her nervous. Denki knew a girl as sweet as Namie would have nothing to worry about. "But just think about it?" He squeezed her hand lightly, hoping his mom would eventually get get tired of asking. Once outside the restaurant, he paid and quickly jogged around to let Namie out so they could go in, arm in arm.

After being taken to a table, Denki happily pulled out Namie's chair for her. Manners! he sat down across from her and smiled. "Oh, I have something for you. It's not much but uh I hope you like some of it..?" He shyly reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a small USB drive. "It has some songs on it that made me think of you." Ah yes, the modern day mixtape. Cheesy but he did put a lot of effort into selecting them. They were mostly upbeat love songs, some classical music and some pop you could dance to. "We could listen to them at your place tonight maybe...?" Maybe in her room?

Looking over at her, he took notice of her rather cute outfit, well then again every outfit she wore was cute. Or was it just that Mela was cute thus, in turn, making anything she wore cute? Ah, he wasn't sure. Blushing slightly, he complimented her, "ah, you look very cute Mela-chan." Very very cute. Ah, now he was nervous! Holding out his arm for her to take, Toshinori held the door open for her before driving off. He smiled at her slightly as he told her, "it's not a problem at all! T-thanks for going on this date with me..." he added in shyly. It was still a bit hard to get the fact into his head. That he and Mela were dating?! Oh dear, yeah his heart wasn't ready for that.

He felt his entire face turn red when Mela sneakily mentioned about this morning. Oh no! Was she upset? But she just said she slept really well...so that was a good sign, right? He gave her a nervous smile as he told her, "a-ah....yes...I slept really well too...it was very...warm." Erk, okay maybe he shouldn't have said that part? But it was hard to deny how good it felt. She was so warm and soft and comfortable and just okay stop Toshinori. Just stop before he blabs something else out. No no...this was their date and he wasn't about to make it awkward by blabbing his feelings out without a filter. No no. Behave Toshinori. Behave.

Thankfully, her next comment changed the subject. He smiled a bit shyly though his eyes shined with definite happiness. Ah, did he look alright? That's good to hear. "Thank you...and you are looking very pretty...and very cute." Yes, she was just a mixture of all beauty possible. Was he even ready? Was he allowed to walk next to someone so beautiful? He was like a walking skeleton, was she fine with that? Ah, but she just said he looked good, stop overthinking things Toshinori! Changing the topic, Toshinori told her, "so I was thinking of some Italian. I know a good family owned one...its not the fanciest places, but I think its very heartwarming. You can definitely taste the love poured into the food." He smiled over at her as he added, "I hope you'll enjoy it..." Soon they arrived at the restaurant. Helping her out of the car, Toshinori held out his arm for her to take before pulling out the seat for her.

Sitting across from her, Toshinori smiled warmly over at her as he told her, "order anything you want, Mela-chan~" He looked over the menu and decided on getting some lasagna. He couldn't deny a good old classic hehe. Looking over at her, Toshinori shyly reached out and took hold of her hand. He smiled over at her as he asked her, "are you um having a good time...?" What he really wanted to ask her, was how she was doing. He noticed her eyes a bit red earlier, but he didn't want to make a big fuss about it especially if she wasn't saying anything about it herself. Perhaps after dinner, he can bring a real smile to her face? He was quite excited for his little surprise for her, but at the same time, he hoped she would like it.

The two enjoyed a rather nice dinner together as they traded a few bites of their food. He was a bit shy of exchanging food with her, but eating with her has always been fun. Perhaps it was due to always having lunch with her, but he wasn't as nervous as he thought he would be. They got a dessert to share as well before Toshinori held his arm out for her as he told her, "let's go? I have a surprise for you." He smiled down at her softly before leading her back to his car. The drive there didn't take as long since it was in the night, something which he was glad for. But it did take a bit of time still, just about thirty minutes really. Driving up a long winding road, he drove them up to the top of a large hill near the edge of Musutafu. The hill was high enough to overlook the city while still being far away enough to enjoy the stars as well. Stopping, Toshinori turned to her with a small blush on his cheeks, "I was hoping to enjoy a little bit of stargazing with you...a-ah we can just sit on top of my car or watch from the trunk..."

They ended up choosing to sit from inside his trunk, glad to have an SUV for once. He shyly guided her to sit between his legs as he brought out a blanket and wrapped them both with it. Wrapping his arms around her waist, Toshinori asked her, "are you warm, you're not cold, are you?" his lips grazing the shell of her ear from how close they were. He smiled down at her before looking up at the stars, "I sometimes like to come out here just to look at the stars...and then I can also see the bright lights of the city below. It fills me with hope and happiness when I see this view. Because I know the people of this city are peacefully sleeping and because of us heroes...they can sleep like that. It always cheers me up..." he wasn't sure if it'll cheer her up, but he wanted to be of some sort of support to her.

"I...I'm not sure if you're exactly happy where you are. Maybe you are, but maybe you're also feeling a bit...conflicted. But whatever you may be facing right now Mela-chan, I just want you to know I'll be right here to support you all the way. But I know you'll be just fine because you're a strong woman...but just know you aren't alone and that there are people around you that care for you very much." He gave her a soft smile before lightly caressing her cheek. Staring into her eyes, Toshinori leaned down and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips, "Mela-chan...will you be my girlfriend?"

Watching Tohru and Yuki head off to go see a movie was quite a satisfied feeling. Ruka felt quite accomplished alongside Shoto as she hoped that soon those two would be wrapped up in their own love. Hopefully. If not, well she had a few pretty words to say to Yuki during practice tomorrow. Heh. Turning around, Ruka and Shoto headed off to buy some groceries before heading back to her place. Upon arriving, Ruka decided to start her cooking. Though she couldn't resist a little bit of cuddling with Shoto. She did make sure to get to cooking after ten minutes spent with her boyfriend. Otherwise, she was certain the two would get too caught up with each other and forget about their plans for the night. But no no. That would not do! Not tonight! Now when they were going to have Rei over.

Somehow, having Shoto around her place felt so natural that Ruka couldn't help but wish he could just live with her. Ah, but that was asking for too much, right? She glanced over at Shoto briefly as she began to take out the necessary ingredients from the fridge. Seeing him relaxing on the couch like that filled her up with a happiness she never felt before. Maybe it was because no one else other than Mela was ever over at her place...okay at times Yukito but that was more of an unwelcomed guest than anything else. Perhaps it was due to her never really having a family setting to grow up in that she adored this feeling. Family...ah, what was she thinking? Feeling her face heat up, Ruka tied her hair back as she focused on cooking otherwise she might just combust and then there'll be a fire and yeah no no. Calm down Ruka.

Deciding on making some zaru soba for her love, she also went with some tempura as a side dish along with some grilled salmon. Then for the other sides, she decided on making a hiyayako, kinpira, a potato salad which she made plenty of so she can make some potato salad sandwich for lunch tomorrow and then hmmm was this too much? She felt herself sweat dropping as she began to cut up the vegetables for the potato salad. She chopped up the rest of the vegetables before boiling the potatoes while also cooking the kinpira on the stove. She let out a soft hum as she enjoyed this peaceful moment. Ah yes, cooking was always something that she will enjoy and to have Shoto besides her like this was just so nice. Smiling over at Shoto briefly, Ruka went back to cooking. Yes, she could definitely get used to this. She had to wonder...would he like to stay again? Hehe.

Upon hearing his voice, Ruka let out a sound, "hm?" She glanced over to feel him hug her from behind. Smiling, she leaned into his touch as she let out a small giggle at his tickling kiss. Leaning into his touch, she turned around to kiss him briefly on the lips as she smiled over at him, "alright, I'll see you soon then. Be careful, Shoto." She felt her heart flutter, ah this felt so nice and so so perfect. Giving Shoto a wink, she watched him head out before she turned her attention back to the food. As for dessert, Ruka decided on making some simple jello with fruits in it. It was a light and gentle dessert after a savory dinner. Getting everything ready, Ruka went to go change before the two arrived. She can't stay in her school uniform forever.

Changing into a cream-colored sweater and a black pleated skirt, Ruka let her hair down as she walked back out to prepare the table. She brought out the plates and set the chopsticks down before walking over to the kitchen to place the food down onto the table. Arranging everything neatly, she smiled happily at her little work before turning to face the door as she heard it open up. Smiling widely upon seeing Rei, Ruka walked over to greet the older Todoroki, "Rei-san! Welcome, please make yourself at home. Ah no no, it's a pleasure to have you over." She stepped aside to let Rei get inside and get comfortable. Turning to Shoto, Ruka blinked in surprise at the roses. Oh? She blushed happily at his words. Taking the bouquet, Ruka leaned up and pecked Shoto on the cheek as she murmured out, "thank you Shoto...these are so lovely." She smiled lovingly up at him before moving over to place the roses in a vase. She placed it in the center of the table, finding that to be the finishing piece to her decoration.

Smiling satisfied, Ruka turned to Rei and Shoto, "oh! Dinner is ready, please take a seat." She helped Rei into her seat before taking her seat next to Shoto. She gave Rei a shy smile as she told her, "I hope it's to your liking and eat as much as you would like!" She glanced over at Shoto as she grinned over at him, "I made you, your favorite~" She just loved seeing people enjoy her cooking so knowing someone's favorite dish always meant that she will make that for them. Looking over at Rei then Shoto, Ruka gave off a happy giggle. Blinking, she explained herself a bit embarrassed, "ah sorry, it's just...I just thought how nice it is to eat like this together." Yes, having people to eat with was nice. Was this how it felt to eat with family? She would never know.

Ruka knew she should eventually try and reach out to her mother, but it just scared her. Her body would flinch away from her mother even before Ruka can think things through. It was as if her body remembered far too clearly while her mind was a chaotic mess. Remembering her mother's words about coming over to visit while bringing Shoto along, Ruka wondered if Shoto would like to go and see her mother? She was always indulging in Rei's kindness, she wanted to only repay the favor back to Shoto, but she wondered if that would be even considered a favor? Surely not. Not going to the Kurotsuki household. That was just...torture. Pushing aside her frowning thoughts, Ruka focused on the conversation at hand as she and Shoto told Rei about their midterms to the exchange students they were currently having over at U.A.

- - -

He wondered what made him come over here? Was he really looking to her for comfort? Or was it because he was just so used to seeing her around and just having her beside him all the time? He really wasn't sure, hell, he wasn't sure why he even just told her that. Staying rooted in place, Shota wouldn't blame her if she just smacked him with her broom before kicking him out. Yeah, he wouldn't blame her. But that didn't happen to his surprise. He blinked slowly as he found himself being led to the couch. Sinking into the furniture, Shota watched as Ayumi began to tease him. He felt his eye twitch for a brief moment. Why was he here again?

As she handed him a glass of wine, Shota stared into the deep red liquid for a moment before sighing. Move on huh? Well, it did sound like that was what Mela wanted him to do...but then what did she want for herself? Shota couldn't help but wonder if there was actually someone else out there for her...one that she may have already found? Somehow the brought a painful sting to his chest, but at this point, he would only accept the best for Mela. She deserved it after all. Holding back a scoff at his sarcastic thoughts of only All Might besting him, he disregarded the thought of Mela and All Might together. Nah, that wasn't possible...well..hm. Wait, no. Why did he even think that!?

Pushing aside his strange thoughts, Shota turned to Ayumi as she began to ramble off about how he can easily find someone else. Was it that easy though? His brows furrowed slightly as he listened to her. He was positive no one would be able to replace Mela in his heart, she would always have a piece of his heart. Whether that be a frustrating thought to the dark-haired male, well that was something even he didn't know. But he supposed he could entertain the idea of having someone to love, but was he really ready for that? He couldn't even keep his own soulmate happy, so what makes it possible for him to make someone else who isn't even his soulmate happy? Could he really do that?

Ah, did she just say something? Taking a sip of his wine, Shota lifted a brow, "you a great catch? I give props to whoever the guy is that will have to deal with you." He gave her a slight teasing smirk at that. She was a hassle alright...but he supposed she wasn't all that bad. She was a lot more...caring than she appeared. Plus she did have a passion for her job which told a lot about who she is. Leaning back into the couch, Shota rested his arm on the back of the couch as he wondered if he came here because she made him feel at ease? Made him jump right back to his usual brooding and sarcastic self? How she did it so easily was something Shota couldn't understand, but he knew it was because it was Ayumi that he was feeling better already.

"Though I suppose you aren't a bad catch." He gave her a slight smile. Reaching out, he placed a hand on her head, letting his fingers run through her hair briefly as he told her in a low murmur, "thanks Ayumi..." thanks for being there for him and tolerating his moodiness. She really was there through it all, wasn't she? Though she can be a bit naggy at times. Oh right, "by the way, when are you free next time?" He asked her as he poured some more wine into his glass, "since you helped me out yesterday and ruined a dress of yours, I thought I should repay you for that." He looked over at her as he lifted a brow, "so? When and where?" And would another dress suffice or even better, will she just accept money so he doesn't have to stand through the torture of shopping?

As she felt a soft kiss to her head, Namie looked up and smiled at his kind reassuring words. Oh, well if he insists then she will stick to this hehe. Her cheeks flushed slightly at the word beautiful. Ah, did she really? Gently holding his hand, she followed him out the door, making sure to lock before heading into the car that was waiting for them. Taking a seat next to Denki, Namie smiled over at him. She was quite excited for this date and she was certain it will just be filled to the brim with fun and happiness~! She still couldn't believe that her dream came true. That they were finally dating and that she can call Denki her boyfriend. Ah, her boyfriend. A warm happy feeling filled her up once again. Hehe.

While in the car, Namie looked over at Denki at the mention of him meeting her parents. Ah, yes that was a thing, right? She listened to him patiently as he rambled off about her meeting his parents too and then added at the end to just think it over. She didn't really need to think things over as she already knew her answer right off the bat. She gripped his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze back as she smiled widely over at him, "I would love to meet your parents and I'm positive my parents would love to meet you...but um I do hope you don't mind my parents uh rather overbearing personalities." She gave off a small laugh as she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. Her parents can be a bit too doting at times and then there was them being all lovey-dovey with each other. She just hoped Denki won't get freaked out by her parents loving personalities while her dad can be a bit of protective dad as well. But, all dads were like that, right?

Oh, just the idea of meeting Denki's parents got her excited. She couldn't wait! She wondered if Denki took after more of his dad or his mom? Maybe he was a mix of both? Oh, the possibilities were endless and then she can finally tell his parents how much she was grateful for them to bring such a wonderful son into the world. He was so sweet and just so so cute! Or...was that too much? Hm, perhaps. Ehe. She never was shy of expressing what she thought of others, especially if they were praiseworthy words. And boy did she have plenty to say about her wonderful and just adorable boyfriend. Hehe.

Soon the two arrived at the restaurant. Smiling at Denki's polite and gentlemanly attitude, Namie took hold of his arm and headed inside with him. It was quite a lovely place and she adored the decorations that the place was filled with. Sitting down with the help of Denki, Namie smiled happily over at him. Oh, this all felt like a dream! A wonderful dream! She was just so happy, she wondered if she could possibly cause a power outage from just how happy she was? Ehe. At the mention of a gift, she blinked over at him. Hm? Receiving the small USB, Namie felt her heart flutter as she smiled over at Denki, aww he thought of her while making this!? How sweet! She gave his hand a gentle squeeze as she brought it up to her lips, placing a soft kiss on the palm of his hand. "Thank you Denki-kun, this is very sweet of you. I'm so happy hehe." She smiled over at him. At the mention of listening to it later together, she nodded her head eagerly, "oh yes. I would like that very much."

Ah, now she wished she got him something in return. She gave him an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't make anything for you..." oh but maybe, "so in return, I gift you myself~" She said in a playful tone, giving Denki a wink. She giggled slightly before the two placed their orders. They decided on just sharing several plates together. Of course, they got dumplings, but Namie also ordered some wonton soup and fried rice. Staring lovingly over at Denki, Namie told him, "thank you for taking me out tonight Denki-kun. I'm having such a great time and I just hope there are many more to come hehe." Ah yes, she was just soooo happy. The two shared a fun and happy dinner together, ending it some fortune cookies. Hehe. Taking his hand, the two decided to go for a stroll around the park, with a dessert of course. Namie decided on a berry mix crepe with green tea ice cream on top. She smiled over at Denki as the two found a bench in the park to enjoy their dessert. "This is nice," Namie commented as she looked out into the park, taking in the scenery happily.

Genkai Genkai
 
Hearing Toshinori compliment her, warmed her heart. She was glad he approved. But a part of her was sure he would enjoy her in almost anything hehe. Mela was certain she would enjoy the food. it sounded pretty good just based on how Toshinori described it. To her, homemade Italian pasta was hard to top. Except maybe the desserts, those were always good. She took his arm and headed inside. The restaurant was cozy and homey and Mela decided upon fresh cheese ravioli which had a bit of pea and prosciutto on top. When he took her hand, she blushed and smiled softly. "Mm yes I am. Thank you." Yes, she was, Toshi certainly helped her remember that she could move on, that she wanted to move on. As they ate, she was happy to feed some to Toshi, and even their shared dessert of orange and chocolate cake. The whole dinner had been very good and Mela was hoping to come back sometime soon.

Taking his arm, she thanked him for dinner and headed back to the car, wondering what sort of surprise he had in store for her. The drive wasn't too long and they spent it chatting about various movies that were going to come out soon as well as other events going on in the city. Mela was hoping she could take him to a movie or dinner for their next date. Or was she getting ahead of herself? Reaching the vantage point above the city, Mela found her breath taken away, it was a great view. She relocated with Toshi to the t back and settled back in his arms, leaning against him. "Y-yes, I'm warm." She blushed as she moved her arms over his that were wrapped around her. She was very comfortable. Listening to Toshi explain why he enjoyed this view was very sweet and to have him share this with her, meant a lot. Mela looked to Toshi as he went on further, offering her words of support and encouragement.

Breathing in, she felt herself grow at the more flushed. Before she could say anything, he placed a hand on the side of her face and kissed her softly. Eyes fluttered closed for a moment, she kissed him back before he asked her to be his girlfriend. He wanted to be her boyfriend? Really? She wasn't just imagining things? She began to question why her but then stopped herself because she wasn't about to try and talk him out of something she really wanted. If he was asking, he had to serious right? "Yes, I...I'd love to." She smiled as she twisted her body around so she was fully facing Toshinori. "You do make me happy, not just lately but whenever we're together." Mela didn't want him thinking he was just a replacement for Shota or a distraction. He really was important to her. And she really did want to be with him.

Her arms moved around his neck as she looked to Toshinori. "You are an extraordinary person and I am very lucky you're in my life, Toshi-kun. You make my world a whole lot brighter." She laughed softly. "Just don't forget a girlfriend is supposed to support and dote on her boyfriend so don't think you're alone either." Mela smirked slightly, wanting Toshi to know he could lean on her and she would take care of him. Gosh, she was hardly this cheesy around Shota, but maybe Toshi didn't mind? Figuring she should remind him a girlfriend also did other things, she leaned up and kissed him again, her hands moving through his golden hair. Mela parted her lips and lightly sucked on his lower lip. She couldn't have her boyfriend dying every time she wanted to kiss him, so she decided to just go for it. Hopefully if he was uncomfortable, he'd say something. She didn't want to cross any lines.

Shoto was quite glad Ruka enjoyed the flowers. He didn't think he was much for romance or gestures and the like but having since met Ruka and connected deeply with her, he found he had a fondness for doing little things. He didn't think a boyfriend should just wait until a special day to do something for someone he loved. If you loved someone, that love never went away. If anything, it only go stronger. And Shoto would be glad to do small things if they made his love smile and remember she had him rooting for her. He showed his mom around Ruka's living room as Rei seemed quite taken with the fact Ruka had her own place. "You should consider getting a job and moving out of your father's home." She told Shoto, knowing how many bad memories it had to hold for the boy. She then leaned in closer, a light smile teasing her lips. "And ask Ruka-chan to move in with you."

Shoto blushed at his mother's meddling. Ah, that was an appealing idea but he wasn't sure if he had the money to do such a thing. But if Ruka was living with him, it did cut expenses in half so maybe when he graduated or even before might be able to? But maybe Ruka enjoyed living alone, having that independence while being close to her best friend? Shoto was about to imagine a nice home in which he and Ruka were happy but suddenly it was time to eat. The food smelled great and he sat beside Ruka as they began to serve themselves and eat. Shoto looked up when Ruka seemed a bit excited. But why? She quickly explained that this seemed nice. Ah, yes this was nice. "Eheh I do agree. This is nice." Shoto admitted shyly as he glance down at his food.

The more time he spent hanging out with Ruka and enjoying her company and her cooking and waking up in her arms, the harder it was to go back home and endure his father's oppressive presence. He did miss her a lot when he went home and he wondered if Ruka would ever want to move with him somewhere or if he could move in with her for a short while? Ahh he was probably getting ahead of himself right? "You two really are sweet." Rei noted as they ate. "Every time I see you together, it really does warm my heart." She said. As a mother she was grateful for Ruka coming into her son's life and making him a better man. "And your cooking is wonderful, Ruka-chan, dear." Rei also added to the girl as she reached over and brushed her fingers along her colorful hair, always quite enthralled by it. Yes, she was sure if they got married and decided to have kids, they would be pretty cute.

Glancing up, Shoto gave his girlfriend a nod, "She does spoil me with her cooking." He admitted. He had to work out a bit harder because he couldn't help but have seconds sometimes but it was well worth it. "I've been a bit down lately and it was so sweet of you to invite me over." Rei spoke up as she looked up from her meal, eyes back on Ruka again. "I do hope you still come to visit me though." She smiled. Rei wanted to ask how Ruka's mother was but didn't want to pry. If Shoto knew Ruka was considering bringing her back to visit her mom, he would happily accept. He would support Ruka if she wanted to reconnect with her mother. "If you ever need to talk, I am always happy to listen." She assured Ruka. While Ruka had visited her a few times, Rei wanted Ruka to feel welcome and loved. Shoto smiled to the pair, feeling a fond warmth course through his heart. Yes, this was very nice.

If Ayumi knew he was still stuck on the notion of soulmates, she would have punched him in the face. Soulmates were so arbitrary! They were a fluke in her mind. When he seemed unconvinced she was a catch, she glared. "Hey, guys sure as hell don't complain when I'm with them." She smirked. Yeah she was a catch, even if he didn't think so. How on earth did Uede put up with the mouth on this guy? He was almost begging to have head bashed in. Hmph. When he considered she may be not be a bad catch, her lips twitched. Was that supposed to be some compliment? Somehow she was unconvinced that he really thought that, and glanced off to refrain from smacking him. When she felt his hand on her head and then move to hair, she froze and found herself s bit nervous. He really didn't need to thank her, he was worth the trouble.

Her ears perked up when he mentioned when she was free. Like a date? Or something? But he mentioned her dress and getting her a new one. Oh right. Hm. She shook her head, dismissing the offer. "You don't need to do that." She said. She wasn't much of a shopper and she was sure he wasn't either so why put them through that headache? Besides, she didn't want him spending time with her because he felt he owed her. Feh. She would get him in a sincere trap, one of these days. If she had to accept some form of repayment, she'd prefer a nice meal or trip to the bar but she didn't mention it, not wanting him to do something he didn't really want to do. Ayumi poured herself some wine and took a few sips, "Speaking of last night, you should let me take a look and make sure it's healing okay." She said to him. Yes, that was why she wanted him to take his shirt off. No other reason...

Ayumi pulled out some of the meat and cheese Shota had bought and helped herself to some of that while she pulled his shirt off of him, not letting him refuse. Surely he could have gone to Medical Girl about this but she was glad he was too stubborn to do that because it meant she could fuss over him more. "You know if I ever met my soulmate, I probably wouldn't even care." She mentioned as she checked the cut and noticed it didn't look infected or anything. That was good. "People put pressure on finding someone to spend the rest of their lives with, add soulmates and it's even more tricky. No thanks." She sighed. "Just find someone you like, who likes you. Soulmates aren't really necessary nor do they have to be romantic or long term. You and Uede had fun right? Maybe that was enough for you both and you didn't know it at the time." Thankfully she wasn't drooling right? "It's okay to be with someone else who isn't your soulmate." She brushed her fingers along his back, trailing lightly down his spine. Realizing what she was doing, she sat back quickly so he could put his shirt back on. "Just don't be so stubborn and you'll find someone." She teased him.

Maybe bringing up parents wasn't a good idea. Now he was a bit nervous. She had parents who were...overbearing? What did she meant by that? Did they not want her to date? Denki didn't think he could date Namie if her parents didn't meet and approve of him. That's how it was supposed to be right? He began to sweat a little. He was sure his mother would be protective and at the same time, excited. But his father would probably be glad he has someone, a girl! his father hopefully didn't look to him and Eijiro and think anything weird was going on there heh. He was glad Namie liked the little USB, he really wasn't sure. Kyoka said make a CD but Denki didn't think anyone used those anymore. They were so obsolete and at the mention of a cassette tape, he just gave her a bewildered look. So Denki was hoping she'd find something on there that stood out to her. Some of them were cute, most were bubbly and just reminded him of her in some of the lyrics.

"Oh no no, don't mention it hehe. I just wanna spend time with you, Namie-chan." He blushed deeply and waved his hands at her. She didn't need to gift herself to him heh, she was a person, not a lamp or something inanimate. But if she wanted to spend time with him, he would gladly accept that. Her time was precious and if she wanted to spend it with him, then Denki would be honored to have that gift and cherish it. The pair ordered food and Denki got a plate of orange chicken and some noodle dish. His heart was beating rapidly as he heard that Namie thank him and then wish for more of these outings. "O-of course, Namie-chan. I'm hoping we can go out a lot more often!" It was a very exciting prospect for Denki. Sure, he spent time with Namie a lot but now it was all the more special and important. He wanted to spend as much time with his new girlfriend as possible.

After dinner, they headed out to walk to a small park, though it was crazy how many parks this city seemed to have. Denki held Namie's hand proudly as he led them around, finding a vendor about to turn in for the night so they got to enjoy crepes with a bit of extra toppings. Denki got a peach and mango and strawberry crepe, very tropical with some whip cream. he sat down with Namie as they ate their dessert though there was something on his mind, something other than the crepes in hand. Denki licked his lips and finished his rather quickly. It was too good to really pace himself. The boy eyed Namie as he put his arm around her. "Yeah, it is. It's more than nice though. It's wonderful." He considered. His hand rubbed her shoulder as it then dipped around to her waist, pulling her up against him comfortably. Leaning, down he pressed his lips to the side of her neck and kissed along her soft skin though her fluffy collar made it a bit of a challenge and it tickled his nose a little. Eijiro told him to listen to his male body and instincts and Denki decided he wanted to kiss her, so he would. If that was okay with her. Moving around, his lips brushed against hers, tasting a hint of green tea. "Mmm really wonderful~"

AiAi AiAi
 
Ah! He finally asked her! He finally did it! But now he wasn't sure if he was just rushing things or maybe he was reading this all wrong!? As Toshinori began to silently panic and wonder if she was going to reject him, she gave him a sweet shy smile and accepted. Huh? Wait. What!? He blinked a few times, unsure if he was hearing things or if he was just dreaming all of this. But as she turned around to face him, he realized that this was actually happening. That she really did just say yes to being his girlfriend. Really!? His heart was beginning to race as he stared into her sweet chocolate orbs. Listening to what she had to say, he gave a small smile. Ah, did he really make her happy? That was a very reassuring thought. He always did find joy in making others happy, but somehow making Mela happy made him extremely happy. It was almost like a little treat to himself if he must be honest.

He blushed at her sweet words. A-ah now she was making him feel all embarrassed. "A-ah do I now? Well...I'm glad." He smiled over at her, placing a hand on her cheek as he murmured back, "and you make my world filled with colors and a lot of warmth...so thank you." Yes, she filled his monochrome life with bright and vivid colors, bringing a sense of living to his mundane lifestyle. He loved being a hero, don't mistake him there, but he also would like to be seen as a normal human as well...and somehow Mela was able to give him both. Surely, only Mela was able to give him this much joy. Hearing her words, he blushed before nodding his head slowly. Yes....he should get used to this. Nuzzling his nose against her's briefly, he told her teasingly, "I'll just have my hero girlfriend save me, right?" Yes, he must learn to rely on others, at least Mela.

But as Mela moved even closer, Toshinori froze for a brief moment. Feeling her soft lips pressed against his own, his eyes widened while his heart began to hammer in his chest. A-ah! Every time she did this, it caught him off guard and it made him want to faint. Really, he knew things like this will happen between a couple, but to think Mela would want to kiss him when he's not in his muscle form was still something hard to wrap around his head. But soon his tense body relaxed as his eyes fluttered shut. Wrapping an arm around her, he pulled her closer while his other hand went to cradle her cheek. His lips began to move against Mela's before he sucked her lower lip right back. Pulling apart for some air, he knocked his forehead against her's gently while staring into her eyes. He gave her a sweet smile as he murmured out, "my girlfriend is so very pretty and kind..." yes...girlfriend. Leaning in, he couldn't help but kiss her once more, finding this to be quite an addicting sensation.

Ruka blinked over at Rei at the mention of her and Shoto. Eh? She glanced over at Shoto as she felt a small blush dust her cheeks. A-ah...were they now? She turned to Rei and gave her a sweet smile. Yes, she was quite happy with Shoto and perhaps to those around them, their love could be seen? Yes, that would make it very sweet huh? She knew Shoto doted on her quite a lot and spoiled her endlessly while Ruka herself was a lot sweeter and full of smiles around Shoto. This was very much different from how she used to be before she moved over to Musutafu. Yes, things are a lot different now. When Rei reached over and brushed against her long pink locks, Ruka can only smile shyly over at the older woman as she felt a warm feeling rush through her. Was this how it was like to have a mother?

"Ah, thank you...um if you ever wish to eat more of my cooking, I'll always be glad to cook something up for you." Ruka offered with a smile. She did like cooking for others and if Shoto's mother liked it that much, she'll be glad to cook anytime for her. Ruka glanced over at Shoto, grinning slightly at his words. She couldn't help but spoil those around her. It was a wonder her and Mela didn't get fat with all the food and sweets that they shared together. But then again, Ruka was quite mindful of nutrients and the balance that goes into her cooking. She only strived to make healthy food after all. Mela was the one who made the sweets, but Ruka is quite guilty for having a sweet tooth. Ehe. Looking up from her food, Ruka gave Rei a smile, "of course, I love visiting you and would be more than happy to come by again." But at the mention of speaking to Rei about things, Ruka can only give a small smile to that.

It was hard for her to open up to others especially about her family. She didn't quite feel like she had a family and so she never really minded living alone. If anything, it almost felt like she has been living alone all her life. She didn't know the feeling of a warm family meal or having a fun family gathering. Every family gathering that she was forced to attend has been formal and just stuffy. It was all business for her family she supposed. Though having Mela and Yukito in her life kept her more human, but there was still a part of her that felt lonely. After having met Shoto, that loneliness was slowly fading away. Waking up to Shoto beside her reminded Ruka of just how lonely she was at times. Hm, would he stay the night with her again? Her hand gripped Shoto's in a gentle grip as they ate. As they finished eating dinner, Ruka gathered the plates and placed them in the sink all the while mentioning, "oh I also made a light dessert if you two are interested?" She gave them a smile as she added, "it's a fruit jelly~"

Why did he even offer to get her a new dress? It was as if he was making up excuses to hang out with her. Hah, yeah right. Like he'd do that. Why would he want to go out of his way to hang around Ayumi the one who nags and has a scary broom? No no, he was just thinking things out of proportion here. He wondered if it was too late to take it back, but when she refused he was a bit surprised. Oh? He thought all girls liked shopping and whatnot. He blinked a few times, suddenly finding her to be a bit different from the other girls already. Mela would have been jumping on such an opportunity. Ah...there he goes again...comparing others to Mela. He shook his head lightly, he really needed to stop that. It was a bad habit. He should be getting over Mela...not staying hung over her.

At the mention of his back, Shota looked at her. Oh right, he nearly forgot about it. It honestly hasn't bothered him much so he forgot it was there, to begin with. He was about to tell her that it was fine when she tugged on his shirt. Oh...well...alright then. He let out a small sigh as he took off his shirt, apparently given no other choice in that matter. He turned so his back was facing her as he let her check it to her heart's content. He was about to ask her if she was done when she began to speak up about...soulmates? Shota lifted a brow at this but he bit back his comments as he decided to let her finish what she was saying. She'd probably lecture him about cutting people off during mid-conversation if he even tried...

Ah yes...he used to think just like her. That soulmates really weren't much to worry over and that it shouldn't dictate one's life. But after meeting his own soulmate, he thought of things differently...viewed things differently. But perhaps that was his downfall. He let his mind get clouded by the remarkable notion of finding his own soulmate that he forgot his own principles of life. He stayed silent as he listened to her, wondering why she was telling him this all of a sudden. His back shivered when she trailed her finger down in such a teasing way. He blinked a few times, pushing away his strange thoughts as he instead focused on her last comment. Ah, so that's what she was trying to do. Was she trying to make him move on? He turned back to face her. Smirking at her, he teased out, "are you suggesting something?" He pulled on his shirt, nearly forgetting that he wasn't wearing it. Turning back, he grabbed a piece of cheese and plopped it into his mouth as he leaned back in the couch.

Enjoying a sweet crepe with an even sweeter boyfriend was Namie's ideal date~! Well, one of many dates that she dreamt of ehe. She would be guilty of having such sweet daydreams about Denki before they even began to date. Ah, but that was her own little secret~ Denki didn't need to know just how much she thought of him. Surely, he'd be creeped out by it? Feeling quite shy about it all, Namie focused on her crepe, nibbling away on it as she found it to be a delicious distraction. Oh, green tea ice cream was just the best and to have it along with mixed berries was even better! The tangy yet sweet mixture of blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, and blackberry along with the slightly bitter green tea made for a lovely balance of sweet and bitter. She didn't even notice when she finished her crepe. Ah, was she that hungry? Or was she just trying that hard to distract her mind from thinking too much about Denki to the point of embarrassment? Ah, but it wasn't a crime to think about her boyfriend~ Right?

Though as she turned to Denki at the mention of a wonderful night, Namie couldn't help but smile as her heart fluttered with warmth. Ah, he knew just what to say, didn't he? As he pulled her closer to his side, Namie happily scooted into his side, enjoying his warmth and sweet scent. Hm? Was this honey...? Ah, he smelled as sweet as he was huh? When he leaned down to kiss her neck, Namie let out a soft sound. She was a bit surprised he would take the initiative, but by no means was she complaining. Instead, her eyes fluttered shut as she leaned into the kiss, enjoying the feel of his soft lips against her own.

Pulling back from the kiss, she stared into his golden hues as a blush dusted her cheeks. A-ah was it now? Hands lightly holding onto the front of his shirt, Namie leaned up and kissed him once more on the lips, her tongue darting out to have a taste of him. Breaking the kiss, Namie licked her lips as she grinned up at him, "mmm definitely wonderful...and delicious hehe." Her heart was brimming with happiness and she knew she could never get enough of this man in front of her. Pulling him close, Namie nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck, breathing in his sweet scent as she murmured out, "mmm, you're so warm Denki-kun..." She couldn't help herself as she moved up to kiss along his neck, nipping the skin teasingly as she left a faint mark on his neck. Yes, he was her's now....licking her lips, she smiled up at him, her teal hues shining in evening light, "mmm all mine~"

Genkai Genkai
 
"Mhm!" She hummed, blushed a bit as their noses touched. She would gladly protect and save him from anything. And she was pretty sure the same went for Toshinori as well. When Toshinori froze for a moment, she had to consider that given enough time, he might relax a little easier whenever she tried to kiss him. Yes, just time and practice hehe. She was quite happy to kiss him or All Might, to her it was same heroic, kind, man she was falling in love with. Feeling his arm wrap solidly around her, she let out a faint moan against his lips as she leaned further into the kiss. Him pulling her close and relaxing was a very good sign. Oh yes.

Shivering as his lips sucked on her lower lip, she let out another soft noise of approval. See, all he needed was a bit of guidance, he was doing quite well hehe. Lips parts, she looked to him with a rather warm smile as she nuzzled her forehead against his playfully. When he complimented her yet again, she blushed even more. If he kept that up, she'd be the one fainting. Mela kissed him back, her arms moving through his hair as she kept herself pressed up against his cozy slender form. As they parted again, she ran her hand down to brush her fingers along the side of his face. "Mmm and my boyfriend is so sweet and cozy and all mine~"

Mela decided she'd pay him back for his previous compliments as she leaned in and kissed him several times, each kiss quite light but very sweet. She could tell he was relaxing a lot more which was something she was more than happy to encourage. "So it's my turn to plan a date huh?" She smiled to him. Though she also kept in mind his hero work as she didn't want to cut into that time. She had some ideas in mind but for now she wanted to enjoy this date a bit longer. Leaning in, she kissed him a bit harder as her tongue slipped out and brushed between his lips. Her hand slipped down to rest along the side of his body while the other was still content to brush through his hair. This evening was perfectly lovely and Mela wouldn't change a thing about it.

Rei knew how hard it was for Ruka to open up. While she didn't know all of the details, she did recall a visit in which it had just been her and the pink haired girl talking about various things in their life. Rei knew a mother and daughter's bond wasn't so easily broken by one mistake. To Rei, there was never an intent to harm so it truly was a mistake. A tragic mistake but no one was killed and if everyone could walk away with their lives and learn from the mistake, then to Rei, it wasn't bad enough to pollute the waters between a mother and her child. She knew firsthand that people could be loved even in spite of their actions in the past.

She still felt bad about what she did to her son. His scar reminded her of that but she couldn't focus on the scar, she had to focus on the man that her son grew up to be. The scar didn't hold him back, nor did he hold any grudges toward her. Rei hoped what she and Shoto now had, was something Ruka and her own mother could have at some point, but only if Ruka really wanted it and went after it. You had to fight for the ones you love and never give up. She continued to eat and the three discussed how school was progressing and how the warm weather was beginning to fade away. Change was in the air and for Rei, she was happy to see the changes in her son were very much, for the better thanks to Ruka.

Shoto held onto Ruka's hand as they ate, his thumb unconsciously brushing against the top of her hand from time to time. When dinner was over, Shoto got up and nodded, "That sounds very nice." He said, a good light way to end a rich and flavorful dinner. "But I'll handle clean up." He insisted. "You worked so hard cooking, it's only fair I clean up. You two should chat and relax." Shoto said to Ruka with a small smile. Shoto wasn't going to budge on the matter. He hadn't done much to help Ruka cook so he wanted to handle the dishes. Heading over to the sink, he got to work as Rei smiled to Ruka and moved to the couch, patting the spot beside her. "Would you like to see pictures of Shoto when he was younger?" She asked with a glint in her eye as she pulled out her wallet. She knew Ruka would be interested.

Ayumi's eye twitched when Aizawa smirked to her. Okay, he had to know what she what she was suggesting. This guy...she glanced off and drank some more wine, needing to be a lot more drunk for this kind of conversation. Urgh. Feelings. Ayumi refused to answer for a while, mostly just focusing on not blushing and so far she was doing a decent enough job. She glanced back to Aizawa, knowing this wasn't really the time nor the place to be saying such things. Not when he was clearly hung up on his ex. But she could at least lay her cards out on the table and if he laughed her then fine. Whatever.

Reaching for the bottle, she refilled her cup and set it down before she eyed the man next to her. "I'm suggesting whenever you feel like moving on, I'd like to go out with you. Or stay in. I don't really care." Ayumi gave a shrug as she sipped her wine. She sat back. There, she said it. It was better than leaning over and pinning him to the couch right? Though in her experience, whenever she did that, no guy had been stupid enough to rebuke such a firm advance. But she knew Shota was still getting over Mela so she wasn't going to make things even more upsetting for him by throwing herself at the guy. No, she'd be patient but she had to make her intentions know at least.

Otherwise she was going to go insane. Ayumi reached for some more cheese. "You know at first I thought, I should just throw you a bone and suggest we hook up but then I thought...nah, a real date would be better. I don't often go on those but for you I'd like to make an exception." She smirked to him. "Besides, I really like you. You're quite fun in your own...way." She tilted her head. She was pretty sure if she said the spirits were telling them to get together, he'd just resist and dig his heels in. "But like I said, whenever you feel up to dating again, you should give me a call because something tells me, we'd pretty good together. Not to brag or anything of course." She nodded as she took another drink, expecting him to just leave or laugh, but there, he at least knew her intentions which made her feel better.

The night truly felt like it belonged to them, in this moment. They were alone, with the streetlights dimly offering them light. The whole setting seemed like a perfect time to make a move and Denki hoped his friends would be proud. Besides, he knew he'd have to make the first move more often and prove to Namie how much he really did like her. He didn't want her to have to hold his hand all the time. Just maybe some nudges every now and then? Yes, Denki was getting the hang of this boyfriend thing and wanted to do everything he could make sure Namie was safe and smiling and by his side, no matter what. They had been through so much together, he felt like they could do anything!

Namie's small sound did reassure the blonde that his instincts were correct. Phew heh. As he looked to her, he found her hands had taken hold of his shirt as he was pulled in for another sweet kiss. His lips parted when he felt her tongue slide against them but the kiss already ended. Denki let out a soft whine. Aw, he wanted more of her. His arms moved around her as he shifted a bit on the bench, trying to bring her closer somehow. As Namie kissed and nibbled his neck, he giggle lightly. Ah yes that tickled. He squirmed and held onto her hips a bit tighter as he felt back onto the bench and pulled her down on top of him.

Grinning up at her, he rubbed her back. "Ah yes, all yours~" He confirmed. He moved his hand up her back slowly, feeling the fabric of her dress under his palm and fingers as he came up to ruffle her hair. Pushing her gently back down, he kissed her again, this time deciding he would need to be a bit more erm assertive. Maybe? Yes. Denki parted his lips as his heart began to beat a bit quicker in his chest, while his tongue slipped out to move across her lips. Though while Namie had given him a teasing taste, he found he wanted more than that. Denki slipped his tongue into her mouth and couldn't help but let out a faint moan of approval. His tongue moved along with hers, a bit of electricity coming off the tip of his tongue as it rolled along Namie's. This felt very good, his whole body was covered in goosebumps hehe.

AiAi AiAi
 
He could get used to this. It was all new and exhilarating, but he can get used to this. Having a girlfriend for Toshinori was quite a big step. He's always been so afraid of falling in love and bringing someone into his life. But with Mela, he felt like that was all possible. As he kissed her once more, hearing the soft noises she produced told him that yes, he was doing this right. He could feel a pleasurable tingle run down his back at the sounds. Oh, that sounded...nice and also very cute. He blinked at her compliments. Ah...was he now? He can only give her a shy smile back. He knew he'd have to get used to all this, but it still made him blush. Ehe.

When she began to shower him with kisses, Toshinori didn't know what to do and so he just let his body move on its own. He let out a few sounds as she kissed gently all over his face while her small hands ran through his hair. Ah, she was just too cute and so sweet. At the mention of their next date, Toshinori gave her a wide smile while nodding his head, "yeah. It'll be your turn hehe." Yes, her turn and there will be many more dates to come~ That's what couples did, right? But he also knew he can just enjoy anytime spent with Mela doing anything or even nothing. Just having her around was more than enough for Toshinori.

Kissing her deeply, Toshinori let out a soft moan against her lips, his hands moving down to grip onto her hips in a gentle but firm grip. Pulling her close, if that was even possible heh, his mouth opened up to accept her tongue while his own tongue darted out to meet her's halfway. Pressing against her mouth, Toshinori entered her open mouth with his tongue. He gently probed around each and every crevice, wanting to memorize any part of Mela. A soft groan was heard as he pulled back. He stared into Mela's eyes before blushing. Ah, that was so very nice. Wanting nothing more than to hold her close and adore her, he leaned back and showered her with light gentle kisses before dipping lower to kiss her shoulder and neck. He nuzzled his face into her neck before nipping on the soft flesh. "You're not cold, right?" He asked her just to be sure she was nice and warm. If not, he can warm her up. Heh.

Ruka pouted up at her boyfriend. But she can help! She can do the cleaning just fine, cooking wasn't a chore for her after all, but as he wouldn't budge from it, she gave him the plates with reluctance, "fine...but let's enjoy the dessert after!" Together. She gave him a slight smile before heading over to the living room where Rei was seated on the couch. Ruka blinked a bit before taking the seat next to Rei. She felt a bit shy doing so, but she was happy nonetheless. At the mention of Shoto's baby photos, Ruka's eyes shined as she eagerly nodded her head, "oh yes please!" Being able to see Shoto when he was younger....that was a special treat on its own hehe.

Leaning eagerly closer to Rei, Ruka looked at the photos of Shoto. He was so cute! Her eyes sparkled as she saw one where he was happily holding an All Might toy. Hehe, someone was a fan. But the way his eyes shined while smiling, it made Ruka's heart squeeze. He was just too cute! She could never imagine that the now cool and icy Shoto was this cute when younger. "He's so cute!" Ruka couldn't help but squeal out as she stared at each photo, memorizing how he looked when younger. Oh, he had such chubby cheeks hehe. She glanced over at Shoto cleaning the dishes before looking back down at the photos. He sure did grow up a lot. She smiled fondly at that as she murmured out, "he grew up so well...you have a wonderful son, Rei-san." Ruka told the older woman with a soft smile.

She didn't have much childhood photos of herself, but she supposed she had a few. Glancing over at Shoto briefly, Ruka leaned over to Rei and whispered, "would you like to see some of mine?" Well, childhood photos they were, but they weren't exactly it. It was mainly the family portraits that she had to take every year as a 'family'. But it was all more for business than anything. It was always taken at the exact same time of the year. She showed Rei a small photo album where each year Ruka was pushed into wearing a long layered kimono. "They're not exactly childhood photos, but these are what I have." She gave a small smile as she handed it to Rei. Noticing that Shoto was already done, Ruka smiled up at him as she teased out, "you're adorable when you were younger. Ah, your cheeks were so squishy~ What happened to them now~?" She reached up and pinched his cheek playfully.

Shota nearly choked on his food when she flat out told him that she would like to go out with him. What?! He blinked a few times before looking over at her. Wait, did he hear things wrong or did she just say she liked him? He stared at her dumbfounded as she continued to speak. Wait, she liked him? Wait, what!? He couldn't quite understand what was going on. Did she just...wait but why? He has been anything but nice to her. He really wasn't the type to be nice to others, to begin with. So why was she saying this? Why would she...? He didn't understand her. Once she finished speaking, Shota just sat there, staring at her in disbelief.

Taking a sip of his wine, Shota leaned back in the couch as he spoke up, "why me?" He didn't understand that part, "there are plenty of other guys out there who's better looking and nicer." Yeah, he wasn't one to put himself on a higher pedestal than others. He knew the facts that he wasn't the nicest guy around. But hey, as long as he acknowledged that himself, it won't hurt when others say it to him, right? He glanced over at her before looking back at his drink. Oh...well now he felt all strange or rather should he say shy? But why would he!? Taking another bite of cheese, he spoke up, "I wouldn't be able to make you happy..." he wasn't quite confident in that area at the moment.

- - -

The cool night air did a good job of keeping her cool otherwise she was sure she'd be overheating in happiness. As he pulled her closer, the two fell back onto the bench which earned a small squeak of surprise from Namie. She was soon comfortable against Denki as she let out a small giggle. When he ran his hand down her back, a shiver raced through her as she let out a small moan. Ah, his hands felt nice...she can only wonder what else they can do. Heh. Staring into his eyes, she smiled at his words. Yes...she was his and he was hers, right? Right. Kissing him once more, Namie closed her eyes, leaning into the kiss. A soft moan was heard as his tongue darted out to enter her mouth.

Gripping his shirt tightly, Namie opened her mouth wider to let him in. His tongue felt hot and...tingling? She let out a moan as she realized he was using his quirk, sneaky boy. Her fisted hands moved up to tangle into his blonde locks, locking lips with him in a deeper angle. Her tongue was brushing against his, enjoying the little static that was coursing through him. Sucking on his tongue, she pulled back to kiss his nose then lips once more. Giggling, she stared into his eyes as she murmured out, "you're so electrifying hehe." Realizing that they were getting quite comfortable on the bench, Namie giggled as she suggested, "want to go to my place? The music is waiting for us~" Yes, she was quite excited to hear the lyrics that reminded him of her.

Genkai Genkai
 
Ahh yes, hearing that soft moan of his was terribly endearing. She wanted to hear a lot more of that. She had to wonder other sounds he might make if he knew what else she was capable of doing to him. Gaah he was so sweet, she almost couldn't handle it~ Mela flicked her tongue against his as she tilted her head to allow him a bit more room as to explore her mouth. It was only the polite thing to do right? A few shocks flew through her body as his tongue brushed around her mouth, her own guiding his and enjoying the taste of him. She had to wonder if this is what pure sunshine tasted like. So radiant and pure, mmm!

Breaking away from him, she felt another rush when she heard his groan. Yes, he sounded very sexy but he probably didn't even know it. Mela sighed happily, about to pull him back for another kiss when Toshinori gifted her with several soft ones before his attention moved to her bare shoulders and neck. Oh! She let out a few soft breathless moans, her heart jumping slightly at his light loving touches. "To-shiii~" She moaned out as her hands moved around him, drawing him closer to her. Mela tilted her head back as she breathed out, feeling quite warm. But at his question, she rose a brow. And what might he have in mind if she was cold?

She looked to him, pressing her forehead against his, letting out a hum of thoughtfulness. "Maybe a little?" She tilted her head as she moved her fingers through his hair, her thumbs brushing along his ears gently. "Why~?" She asked innocently. Mela was very much enjoying this night and she hoped she could have even more tomorrow over lunch. Yes please. Mela leaned in to press her lips to his forehead, wondering if she could get him someplace a bit more private tomorrow and cuddle up together. And then maybe after the rematches on Saturday, she could take them on their next date. Though she'd also be happy to hang out at his place and do some gardening.

Mela felt so happy right now, there was no way anything would be able to ruin this moment. Even if somehow he had to go off and save someone from some burning building and cut things short, she'd still be pretty happy. Her eyes were shining gently as she considered how lucky she was for so many reasons. She couldn't even begin to count them all.

- - -

He took the plates, knowing cleaning wasn't difficult for Ruka. But it wasn't about that. It was about equal partnership and Shoto wanted to help. He wasn't going to be one of those lazy boyfriends who sat around. No. When you loved someone, you shared the work and if one person cooked, he saw no reason why he couldn't clean up. Plus, he enjoyed helping Ruka and in doing the dishes, he wanted to give Ruka and his mother some time together. Of course he had no idea his mother had brought something along with her in secret or he would have confiscated those. Urgh baby pictures would surely make him look the opposite of sexy in his girlfriend's eyes. Hmph.

He washed the many plates and dishes and utensils. He listened but couldn't hear much as he rinsed off everything. What were those two talking about so quietly? Rei smiled at Ruka's reaction, glad she enjoyed them. "Yes, Shoto has become a good man." She said, a bit sad. She still wasn't sure if Enji had gotten to him. Shoto had her but also his father. And Rei was hoping Shoto hadn't gotten the same kind of abuse and narrow-mindedness as Enji. But so far, Shoto seemed more balanced and gentle, not so abrasive or resentful. That was good. Her worried thoughts were broken by Ruka's question. "Oh, I'd love to, Ruka-chan." She nodded, curious to see how she looked as a child.

Meanwhile Shoto was just beginning to dry the dishes, which went by quickly as he heard some kind of chatter. He rose a brow. This wasn't good. Right? Walking over, he bent down and saw a few baby pictures of him in his mother's hand and his entire face twitched. "M-mother!" His entire face turned red as he almost wanted burn them on the spot but didn't. At Ruka's teasing, he pouted and glanced off, "My cheeks are just fine." He said as he walked around to sit down between the two pesky women. Rei giggled and showed Shoto some photos of Ruka, "She's so mature for her age." She said, thinking it was a shame they hadn't know each other growing up. They could have used one another back then too.

"You do look very cute, Ruka." Shoto had to agree with a smile.

"You two would have the cutest babies." Rei blurted out with a smile of her own. Shoto almost passed out.

"H-how about th-that dessert now, R-Ru-ka!?" Shoto stammered. He quickly gave Ruka an apologetic look, one he usual wore around his father.

Of course Rei could tell how close the two were already and she just wanted to give them some encouragement to stay together and stay strong. Plus she wouldn't mind grandchildren to spoil. Of course she wouldn't push them too hard. They were so young and had a lot of hero work ahead of them but she couldn't help but tease her son. He got to flustered and acted so unlike his usual self.

"I'm sorry, I'm only teasing." Rei assured them both, hoping she didn't offend her hosts too much. A mother couldn't help herself sometimes.

- - -

His reaction was to be expected. He thought she was crazy huh? She liked the term gifted a little better. Still, she wasn't going to twist his arm to go out with her. He'd get there in his own time. When Aizawa asked why him, she gave a shrug, finding it best to just go with it than question what she felt was...er fate. It would be a lot better if he cooperated sooner but she wasn't going to push him when he would just be using her as some means to forget about his ex. No, she wasn't some stand-in. She wanted him to go out because he was interested, or at least curious. "Yeah. So?" She shrugged again when he pointed out there were nicer, better looking guys out there.

"There's plenty of sweeter, sexier women out there besides me." She thought of Mela and held back a snort, she wasn't going to mention her right now. Nope. "What's the point in bringing up people who don't have anything to do with you and me?" She folded her arms. That was really his best defense as to why she shouldn't like him? "I like you. Who gives a shit what else is out there?" She stated simply. If you liked someone, you didn't need to think about anyone else right? She let out a sigh and unfolded her arms when he said he wouldn't be able to make her happy. He didn't know that.

"You don't know what makes me happy so you can't judge what you're capable of until you try." She pointed out to him as she shifted closer to him and brushed her fingers along the side of his face, taking his chin her hand. "I'm not gonna do anything or like, force myself on you." She smirked lightly, her thumb brushing against his lips before she retracted her arm. No, he was still pretty vulnerable and she wouldn't do that to him, even if she wanted to make him forget about his troubles right now. Ayumi sat back and munched on a cracker. "But consider this, maybe I could make you happy. I'd like to try, at some point anyway. So...just something to think about." She said simply.

Denki found the bench against his back to be a bit cold and jarring. But having Namie on top of him was very nice and made him all the more comfortable. He held her tight against him as their tongues danced together, his quirk giving them a bit of an extra buss heh. He was glad she seemed to approve as her mouth welcomed his tongue a bit eagerly. Her mouth and hands in his hair made him all the more confident that Namie was enjoying this. Good, because he was too. Her tongue was wet and sweet and so fun to suck ehehe. But it was also clear Namie enjoyed his tongue too. Ah they were perfect for each other then yes?

He made a slight face when she kissed his nose. Was his nose that kissable? Haha. "I try my best." He smiled sheepishly up at her. That was good right? He was good? Denki was quite happy to get positive feedback, he was almost as excited as puppy. When she mentioned her place, he was already to go but when she mentioned music, he had to think for a few moments. What? Uh? Oh! He sat up carefully with her, holding her in his lap. "Yes, let's go!" He got up and grabbed her hand. Though Denki wasn't going to focus too much on the music, not when he had Namie with him. He had so many other things to think about like her eyes and her lips.

Using his phone, he called for an Uber and the two killed a few minutes making out a bit more before their ride arrived. The driver was an older man who didn't seem bothered by their handholding and staring into each other's eyes. Denki was just so happy right now, he was sure a few sparks were flying, he just hoped the driver didn't notice. Once at her house, they went up to her room so Namie could play the music on her laptop. Denki settled on her bed as the first song, a slightly old song called Neon Lights by an American singer, Natasha Bedingfield. Somehow it reminded him of them and how a bit slow he may have been but ahh better late than never right?

AiAi AiAi
 
He hid the delightful shiver that ran up and down his spine when she called out his name in such a tone. Ah...that was very...alluring. He blinked a few times to try and focus on what he even asked her just now. Ah, her sweet voice was so mesmerizing and he can only wonder what other sounds she was capable of making. Woah! Hold it! Stop right there Toshinori! Behave damn it! This was only their second date! He can't let his male hormones get in the way! What if she didn't like that? No no, he'll have to take it nice and slow...but upon her answer of being slightly cold, he couldn't help but frown slightly in concern. Ah, was she cold now?

Seeing the slight shine in her eyes, he closed his eyes upon feeling her soft lips against his forehead. Ah, he felt quite warm. Maybe he can share his warmth and help her warm up? Smiling as he opened his eyes once more, Toshinori leaned his forehead against her's as a warm puff of air blew onto her face gently while he spoke, "I'll warm you right up then..." leaning down, he captured her lips in another sweet kiss while his hands moved up and down her back, rubbing her gently in hopes of warming her up. Pulling her onto his lap, Toshinori pulled the blanket to wrap snug around her as he blocked the cold night air from hitting Mela's skin.

Leaning down, he began to trail kisses down her neck, wanting to try one thing that's been on his mind for quite some time now. He's been wondering how her skin tasted. Ah...that was weird huh? But a little taste wouldn't hurt, right? His lips found a spot on her neck where he began to suck on it before letting his teeth lightly graze the soft flesh. He sucked and nipped on it for a while longer, finding her sweet vanilla taste to be quite addicting, before pulling back. Moaning against her skin, he then licked the little mark on her neck with his tongue, gently lapping at the now red skin. He then moved up to kiss along her neck before going back to her lips once more. Breaking the kiss, he stared into her eyes as he gave her a small smile, "are you warm now?"

- - -

While Rei was looking through her photo album, Ruka was smiling fondly down at the photos of younger Shoto. He looked so cute and she noted that in these, Shoto didn't have the scar on his face. Ah, well that made sense since it was probably before Rei was taken to the institution...but then were there no other photos taken afterward? She can see Enji being the type not to do such things. Hiding a frown, Ruka decided she'll just have to take plenty of photos so that she can share those with Rei. Surely, she would like some photos of Shoto now too, right? Turning her attention to Shoto as he seemed to be finished cleaning, Ruka giggled at his pout, "you're too cute, Shoto." She couldn't help herself. He really was a cutie at times.

Moving over so Shoto can have a seat, Ruka blushed slightly at Rei and Shoto's compliments about her younger photos. Ah...they weren't really that great of a photo really. She was simply looking at the camera all dressed up. Really, she didn't want such an album but Yukito made it a point that she takes it with her...otherwise she would have gotten way worse albums according to his little threats. She lightly teased Shoto, "I'm not cute the way I am now?" Of course, she was joking, but seeing him flustered was cute. But when Rei mentioned babies, Ruka's entire face blew up red as she stared wide-eyed. W-W-What!? B-B-Babies!?

Feeling her entire body heat up, Ruka had to fan herself in fear that she might just combust and that wouldn't be good. Though a few black flames could be seen on the top of her head. Clamping her hand down onto the flames to ensure no fire would break free, Ruka stood up as she nodded her head, "a-ah yes, dessert!" She nearly tripped over her own feet as she moved to the kitchen to get the jellos. A-ah, having Rei tease her was ten times worse than Mela teasing her. At least Mela never mentioned her and Shoto having babies! Though something told Ruka that Mela would never say that...pushing aside her thoughts, Ruka focused on bringing out the small clear dishes that had the fruits inside. She brought it out on a tray along with a mint tea on the side as refreshment. Bringing it to the table, Ruka smiled over at Rei as she handed one to her before handing another to Shoto. Her face turned red as her eyes met Shoto, Rei's words still very fresh on her mind. Sitting down once more, Ruka dug into her jello, if she spoke right now, she was certain she'd just combust once again.

Yeah so!? Really...this woman. He held back from huffing as he listened to what she had to say this time around. Sexier and nicer woman out there? Yeah, there probably were plenty. He thought most women were attractive in their own way. Heck, even Midnight can be considered sexy...if she wasn't so damn weird. Okay, so he tried to be nice and fair to women in general, but it wasn't his fault that he just didn't get attracted to most. Most were scary and rabid in his opinion. Holding his tongue on his comment about that, Shota listened to what else Ayumi had to say this time around. He wasn't sure if it was the alcohol getting to her or not, but he'll...hold his tongue. He didn't need another beating of her broom after all.

He blinked a few times. Ah, well yes...he knew that. He understood what she was trying to tell him. It didn't matter as long as two people liked and cared for each other, right? But then...why did he even go saying those things to her? He knew the answers to it all, okay well aside from her flat out telling him over and over again that she liked him. He knew that he can't just assume he can make a person happy or not, yes...he knew that...but he said that anyways. Was he just making excuses? Possibly.

Feeling her move closer to him, Shota tensed slightly as he had no clue what to expect. Forced to face her, Shota blinked a few times, his lips parting slightly when she brushed her finger against it. Ah...what was this...feeling? He blinked a few more times, unable to find any biting words to say back at her. Think about it huh...he looked over at her in silence for a moment before letting out a small sigh. That was strange...it was as if his heart did a strange leap when she touched him like that. He gave her a slight glance before drinking some more wine, "hmm I'll think about it." Ah...those words slipped out before he can even think that through. Avoiding eye contact, Shota mumbled out, "or something like that..." Drinking a bit more, he was starting to feel a bit warm. Staring at Ayumi, he reached out and placed his hand against her cheek...ah it was cool. Or maybe he was just drunk...?

Seeing just how happy he seemed, Namie giggled slightly. Ah, he was as cute as a puppy really. She could never get tired of seeing that smile on his lips. Smiling, she leaned in and kissed him once more before the two got up to get out of the park. Waiting for their ride back, Namie was happy in his arms as they shared a few more sweet kisses. As the car arrived, Namie held onto Denki's hand as she was quite excited to get back home. Somehow, her home felt a lot warmer and brighter with Denki around. Hehe.

Arriving at her place, Namie led him upstairs into her room. As she got her laptop set up, Namie glanced over to see Denki already sitting on her bed. She felt her heart leap at that. Ah, it felt all too perfect. Almost like a dream hehe. As she inserted the USB into her laptop, she played the first song. Walking back over, Namie took a seat next to Denki, leaning her head against his shoulder as she scooted closer to his side. Listening to the song, Namie felt her heart twinge slightly as she could relate quite a lot to the lyrics. She glanced up at Denki, wondering if he picked this because he realized that? Smiling softly at that thought, Namie reached up and stroked his cheek gently with a hand as she murmured out one of the lines of the song, "can you feel my love?" Yes, she would always wait for him.

Pulling his face down to her level, Namie kissed his lips softly as she wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss. Yes, she felt quite special right now. She had a wonderful boyfriend and he was starting to see her and notice her feelings for him. Her neon light has finally been noticed and she was more than happy about that. Moving over, she sat on his lap as she kissed him more. Breaking the kiss for air, Namie smiled down at him as she murmured out, "I love it." And she quite loved him too hehe.

Genkai Genkai
 
He was such a gentleman for wanting to make sure she was comfortable and warm. Feeling a hint of warm air against her face, she leaned in and kissed him back, her own touch soft and quite tender. With his hands moving along her back, she arched further into his touch and found herself being pulled into his lap. Her legs moved around him as her arms moved around his back, slipping between his cardigan and his shirt as their lips finally parted as he finished getting the blanket around her. While Mela breathed in deeply, trying to get some much needed air, Toshi's lips moved down to her neck, prompting a few delightful shivers to hit her. Soon his lips moved to take a bit of her flesh in his mouth as her eyes, unable to focus on anything but him making her. "T-Toshii." She whimpered before letting out a shaky moan.

That was really good and she hoped he did that a lot more often. He was so good at it hehe. His calming pine scent filled her nose as she leaned back, his tongue brushing against the mark he had just made. "Oh, Toshinori." She groaned before she felt kisses trail up to her own lips which were parted slightly, already welcoming Toshi's mouth as her tongue slipped out to play with his. Mela moaned into his mouth as her hands palmed his back, holding him against her. Opening her eyes, she gave a small nod. "Mm yeah I am." She muttered as she kissed him briefly. "Thank you~" She gave him a cute smile before she moved her lips down to the side of his neck, her tongue licking an area before she began to suck on it softly, grazing her teeth along the captured skin briefly before she pulled back to look at Toshi.

"I'm very happy right now." She nuzzled her nose against his, recalling how he had been uncertain if she was happy if the thought she was. Well she knew she was. And it was probably the happiest she had been since breaking up. Toshi was quite like a new dawn of sorts. He gave her hope that, she wasn't such a terrible person for deciding to leave her own soulmate. "I hope you are too." She said before kissing him. This almost felt like a dream. "Now you're not cold are you?" She looked to him with a small smirk.

- - -

Shoto had to frown and fumble at his words, "N-no, y-you're very cute now of course. I mean you're older for one thing..." His voice trailed off before he realized she wasn't upset but actually just teasing him. Shoto pouted slightly, a bit of red starting to leave his face but his mother's comment threw him for another loop. What was his mother doing?! He wasn't sure if this was more embarrassing now or when he had Ruka over for the first time at his house. Shoto gave his mother a look while Ruka ran off to the kitchen. Rei was about to mention that kids shouldn't be anywhere near their young minds and that they needed to move in and get married first. She did have some money in savings so she would be happy to help the young couple if need be but she was sure Shoto would want to move in with Ruka on his own.

"I'm sorry." Rei smiled as Ruka returned with their dessert. "I see some of the older patients with their grandchildren and it makes me a bit wistful but you two have such a bright future ahead of you, no matter what you decide." She assured the [air as Shoto gave his mother a look out of the corner of his eye. Even older women could be teases huh? "Thank you so much for tonight, Ruka-chan." She knew Ruka would be a good wife and possible mother. If Rei didn't get grandchildren, that was fine too. She only wanted them to be happy. Plus, being pro heroes with children couldn't be easy or safe. Shoto cleared his throat, hoping to make sure his mother didn't bring up kids again. "Yes, it was very kind of you to invite my mother out." Shoto smiled, leaning over to kiss Ruka's cheek. "I'm so lucky to have you."

Hopefully despite Rei's teasing comments, she would still be invited out or visited soon. Shoto and his mother enjoyed the light dessert, Rei commented on how pretty it was but was all the more complimentary when it tasted as good as it looked. "So who's cooking do you prefer, hers or mine?" Rei teased. "Now you're trying to get me into trouble." Shoto frowned. Rei laughed and smiled to Ruka, "I'm lucky he's found you as well, Ruka-chan." Rei said, reaching over and place her hand over Ruka's. "Thank you so much for showing my son there's so much more to life." Rei really was grateful for Ruka's influence on Shoto and knew Shoto had a similar positive effect on Ruka's life too. It was so touching.

Judging by his face and body language, she could tell she had spooked him a bit. Whoops. But she couldn't exactly back out of this one now. Nope, she would just have to plant the seed and wait for it to grow. She finished off her glass of wine and was about to have another when he admitted he'd think about it. Good. That's all she asked. "Thank you." She said happily. Either this gave him incentive to think some more and get over his ex or well it could have the opposite effect and scare him back to Uede. But Ayumi was pretty sure he would get over Mela, it just took more time though it had been about a month. How much longer did a guy need to get over someone? When he reached out, it was her turn to freeze for a moment. Was he trying to attack her or something?

His hand moved to the side of her face, she was quite cool. She had only a nightgown on so she was a lot less bogged down with clothes and layers. She quickly relaxed and smiled to Shota. "You okay there?" She asked him, fine with moving to a different topic for his sake. He was quite warm but drinking copious amounts of wine will do that to a person. Ayumi moved a bit closer and pulled him into her arms, pressing his forehead against her cool shoulder much like what he had done when he had first arrived. The back of her hand brushed along his flushed cheek. "You know if you need to crash here for the night, I don't mind." She offered. No, change topics Ayumi. Stop making this poor man all the more uncomfortable, even if he smelled nice.

It did break her heart to think Uede was the first person Aizawa may have come to love. SHe wished she could take that feeling away from him. Sure, Honda-san could help but Aizawa would probably scare her away so she couldn't use her quirk. Ayumi brushed her fingers through his hair. "So...tomorrow night I've got work, I'm thinking I should just pick you up by your agency instead of me having to hunt you down." She commented, hoping he still wanting to patrol together, even though she put her cards on the table. But she was hoping by making small talk, it would help somehow.

Eijiro thought Denki's idea was a good one while Kyoka rolled her eyes at his USB angle but what mattered to Denki was what Namie thought of it. It only took a few days to pick songs and download them. And he could always add more. He wanted to do something with horses somehow but he didn't think of anything good, at least to him. But maybe for another date? He recalled her saying her birthday was a bit further out so he had time to make it extra special. Yes, he was hoping she'd still be his girlfriend by then~ When Namie sat beside him, he smiled to her, quite happy to be by her side. "Mm yes I can." He said quietly, his smile still set upon his lips as she stroked the side of his face. Yes, now that he knew, he couldn't deny it any longer. Namie was so patient to put up with him. She was so amazing.

Leaning in closer, Denki returned the gentle kiss before it progressed into something more intimate and deep. Denki's arms curled around her hips as she moved onto his lap. She was so soft and cuddly hehe. After a few more deep, passionate kisses, Namie said how she loved it. Ah...the gift? His mind was wandering elsewhere at the moment. He ran his hands up and down along her back as he brushed some of her hair behind her ears. "I'm glad." He said, quite relieved she liked it. He leaned up and kissed her softly before his lips moved down to brushed along her neck but he paused and glanced up to her, wondering if it would be okay to undo the button of her top so he might get better access to her neck. Was that too presumptuous of him? Her dress was cute but with the high collar he needed more room to have a taste of his girlfriend.

"M-may I?" Denki asked cutely, gesturing to the small fabric knot at the top of her exposed chest. When she nodded, he undid it and moved his lips to her neck, kissing up and down before he could better nudge her collar away so he could kiss and suck at her flesh. The more he had of her, the more he seemed to crave. "You're better than any crepe, Namie-chan." Denki said softly, his lips having traversed up to her ear as he nibbled, a few light shocks coming out of his teeth. "So much better~"

AiAi AiAi
 
Having her in his lap made him feel even closer to her as he kissed along her soft skin. Ah, she tasted just as good as she looked. He held back a blush as he continued his light loving kisses along her skin. Her sweet vanilla scent wafted up his nose, one that he was beginning to realize was very fitting for someone like Mela. Vanilla, it was a sweet and loving image that most people loved and she was certainly loved by many for her bright personality. Vanilla was something of a necessity especially in baking and for Toshinori, he found that she was slowly but surely becoming a necessity in his life. That and vanilla was quite a sweet taste and a soothing scent...yes, she was definitely the vanilla to his life. Heh. Hm, with her chocolate colored hair and sweet vanilla scent, she was certainly becoming more and more like a sweet dessert. His only he hoped?

Pulling back to make sure she was all warmed up, he held back the shivers that ran through his body upon hearing her sweet voice calling out his name like that. Ah, it was surely a crime to make his name sound that good rolling off her lips, right? He smiled back to her as she gave him an adorable smile but her actions were far from being adorable. It was bordering sexy right there. "Ah...Mela..." he moaned out softly as she began to mark his neck with her hot tongue. His face grew warm as his hands moved down to settle on her hips, his thumbs rotating in slow circles against her hips. Smiling as she nuzzled her nose against his, he stared into her melting hues as he smiled at her words. Was she happy now? That's good to hear...he knew she was pretty down after breaking up with Aizawa and Toshinori always wanted to be able to help her smile once more. He was glad he can be of help. But if he knew that she thought of herself as a terrible person for breaking up with Aizawa, he would have told her that no, she could never be a horrible person. She had all the right to break up with him if she so wanted to...and he knew Aizawa also believed in that. Why else would the dark-haired pro-hero let Mela go? Though that was a puzzling thought on itself since Toshinori wondered if he would ever be able to let Mela go even if she begged him to? Ah, that was something he didn't want to think about.

Kissing her back, he told her softly, "I am very happy. Happiest I've ever been." Well, that was the truth. Trying to stop himself from overthinking every little thing, he turned his attention back to Mela at her question, he tilted his head to the side. He gave her a soft smile as he nodded his head, "yes...I am quite warm...thanks to you." Oh! W-was he supposed to say that he was cold? "O-On second thought...maybe just a little...chilly...?" He gave her a small shy smile as his hands lightly squeezed her hips. She was a playful one, that will be something he will have to get used to. Ehe.

- - -

Children huh. It never crossed her mind now that she thought about it. Heck, love rarely crossed her mind either, until she met Shoto that was. She was so focused on controlling her quirk and proving to the world that she can be a hero and not some villain, that she never had much time to entertain thoughts such as having a family or having kids. Ah, looking over at Shoto, Ruka can understand what Rei was trying to say. Yes...his children would definitely be looking quite adorable. She has confirmed that now that she saw Shoto's baby pictures. Her face heated up once more at her thoughts causing her to stuff her mouth with more jello. Stop it Ruka! But...she probably would never be entertaining the thoughts of having a child...even with Shoto by her side. She just couldn't bring herself to think of that. She never had a family experience so what right did she have to raise a child herself? No no, stop Ruka. Stop thinking such things.

Blinking over at Rei as she thanked her, Ruka can only give her a small smile back as she told her, "oh no, the pleasure is all mine. I'm really glad you had fun and you are more than welcome here anytime." She quite enjoyed Rei's company so Ruka wouldn't mind having her over any time. When Shoto thanked her too, Ruka blushed as she pouted while telling the two, "a-ah there's nothing to thank me for..." now they were just making her feel all embarrassed here. She was glad the two enjoyed her dessert. It was simple but flavorful, light in flavor at least. She quite liked fruits so she always did like having fruit flavored desserts. She giggled at Rei's question, her own eyes flashing with amusement as she looked over at Shoto.

Feeling Rei's hand on her's, Ruka looked over at the older woman. Eh? Giving a shy smile back, Ruka told her, "no, I should be thanking you...he's the one who made me realize many things in life..." yes, many things including that everyone deserves love. And yes, soulmates are a thing she supposed. Hehe. As the three talked a bit longer, it was getting late and so they had to call it a night. Ruka gave Rei a soft hug as she told the older Todoroki, "please come back whenever you like...I hope you have a good night then, Rei-san." Ruka waved to Rei and before Shoto stepped out, Ruka tugged on his sleeve. Looking up into his eyes, she gave him a soft smile as she asked, "Shoto, drive safe and come back soon...?" He's going to stay the night, right? Please?

Was he okay? Shota had to stop for a moment to think, what was he doing? Before he can retract his hand and apologize, he felt himself falling forward. A cool touch hit his forehead as he was once again leaning into Ayumi with her arms around him. Blinking slightly, Shota relaxed in her hold as he closed his eyes, enjoying the cool touches she gave him to his flushed skin. Hm, maybe he had a bit too much to drink, but he wasn't quite impaired or anything like that. No no, he was just warm. Breathing in, he could smell a faint scent of worn books and...jasmine or was that incense...? He couldn't quite tell, but he knew this must be Ayumi's scent. Everyone had a special scent in his opinion...like Mela..no. Stop Shota. Just stop. Taking in another whiff of her scent, Shota found himself relaxing even more. She had quite a calming scent in his opinion. Oh wait...hold it...stop Shota. Stop thinking such strange things. Surely, if Ayumi knew he was smelling her and thinking such things, she'd just smack him upside the head. Urgh, it was just creepy. Stop Shota.

Thankfully, her inviting words of staying the night stopped his train of thoughts. Shota leaned up back to lift a brow at her though before he can even try to get out a word or two at that, she changed the topic to tomorrow night's patrol. Ah, yes. He was going to be patrolling tomorrow night as well...just meet up with her huh. He supposed he can, it'll be easier than having to find her tailing him again. At times he thought it was a villain lurking around and he would get defensive, he didn't want to accidentally lash out on her or something like that. Thinking it through, Shota nodded his head, giving in as he told her, "sure, that's fine. But please don't go making a scene..." saying something like the Witchya is here for the Eraserhead or something witchy. He didn't need the others at the agency seeing it.

Holding back a sigh, he leaned his head back against her shoulder, his arms moving to wrap around her. He closed his eyes as he murmured out, "just stay still for a moment...you're cold..." and he was a tad too warm. Though he didn't want her thinking he was trying to make a move on her or anything like that. No no..he wasn't the type to take advantage of a woman just to soothe his aching soul.

He really was too sweet for his own good. Namie smiled back at him, her lips happily accepting his as he kissed her softly. She wondered when her feelings for him began. She knew she realized it when he saved her that one day, but she felt like she had fallen for him since a long time ago....perhaps it was from the moment she set her sights on him? She knew the moment she saw him during the school festival, that she wanted to make him happy. That a frown certainly did not suit his face. And boy was she glad to have met him and taken her chance to speak to him. Yes, she never regretted it and even now she doesn't. A soft sigh of appreciation left her lips when he moved down to brush against her neck, but then he stopped. Hm?

Looking down to meet his cute face, Namie held back from squealing as she felt her heart melt at his way too cute gesture and question. Ah! He was such a gentleman but also a cutie! Smiling softly, Namie nodded her head as she moved her head to the side to give him more of her neck. As his lips began to shower her with kisses, Namie let out soft moans as her hand moved up to tangle into his hair, combing through the electric blonde hair. Oh? Was she now? She can make a pretty good guess that Denki tasted just as good if not even better. Hehe. Though her playful thoughts were cut short as he moved up to tease her ear. The light shocks sending shivers down her back. A low moan was heard from her parted lips as she leaned into his touch, "mmm Denki-kun~" Namie called out his name softly.

Pulling back, she gave him a soft pout as she murmured out, "but you're so much sweeter~" Her eyes shined playfully before she leaned in to kiss him on the lips once more, her tongue reaching out to play with his gently. She moaned into his mouth as she moved closer in his arms, her hands running down his chest, feeling his sturdy muscles hidden underneath the fabric. He was a lot more built than he appeared~ She licked her lips as she pulled back, grinning down at him, "mmm much tastier~" Meanwhile, the song has changed into a soft tuned Colbie Caillat song, Bubbly. Oh, another sweet and meaningful song. He really was too sweet. She smiled lovingly down at him as she ran her hand up and down his chest, unbuttoning the top button of his shirt playfully.

Genkai Genkai
 
It was more than baffling how she could be so happy with someone who wasn't her soulmate. And yet...she was. She did feel a bit guilty about it, mostly because she wanted Shota to be as happy as she was right now with Toshi. But being with Toshinori made her feel a little less guilty as she knew she couldn't hold onto this guilt forever. It wasn't fair to really deny her and Toshi something they both wanted because Shota hadn't moved on yet. She hoped Shota would find happiness and peace with someone else but she shouldn't wait for him to heal first, that was foolish. Mela looked to Toshi, quite happy to hear that he was happy.

She blushed at his words, was he really the happiest he's ever been? Hopefully that feeling didn't leave him because Toshinori should be happy every day and if she could could somehow help, then she would. If she could make him this happy then she felt all the more happy herself. "Good." She said softly, her hands running along his back. When he said he was warm thanks to her, she smiled. He then reconsidered after a few moments which caused her to smile all the wider. Aw, he was too cute. Mela would have enjoyed either response but if he was...cold, then she should make sure he warmed up. A bit more hehe.

She kissed him sweetly and licked his lips with her tongue, seeking entrance. Her tongue slipped inside and caressed his own before breaking the kiss. Her lips trailed along his jawline up to his ear, her tongue licking the edge of his ear before and began to nibble and suck his earlobe gently, a faint moan leaving her lips. "Toshi." She breathed out softly. Her eyes fluttered closed for a moment as she brought up a hand to cup the side of his face while she went back to giving him soft wet kisses upon his lips. Ah he was just to sweet, she just couldn't stop. "You can hold onto me a little tighter if you want." She told him as she began to suck another part of his neck, her chest pressed up to his.

- - -

Personally, Shoto wasn't sure if he even wanted kids. He wanted a family at some point but couldn't that just mean a wife? A wife, yes. The thought was an innocent one but as he looked to Ruka while they ate, he felt a warm hopeful glow rising inside of him. A wife huh? Yes, and it made sense that his wife should be his soulmate maybe? He did enjoy being able to go over to Ruka's and pretend for a few moments, it was him coming home. His own home with his father didn't feel very warm or welcoming but whenever he was with Ruka in her apartment, it felt like home. But was it because she was there to greet him?

But Shoto was thinking more and more about what 'home' meant to him these days and it wasn't really a place as much as it was a person, or a feeling. It was Ruka. She was his home. He finished his dessert and set it aside as they all began to converse about school and the changing from summer to fall. Shoto sat back and held Ruka's hand gently as he enjoyed this. Yes, this was a great way to end the night. As it got late, he knew his mother would need to go back or they would send out people looking for her, probably going to fear the worst. Shoto stood up as Rei hugged Ruka and the two got ready to go. As he headed for the door with his mother, Ruka stopped him.

Turning, he gave her a nod. "Of course, I'll be back soon." He assured her as he took her hand and kissed the back of it like a protective knight to his loving queen. Driving Rei back, he signed her in and helped her put her white roses in a small vase before he hugged her and kissed her head. Rei thanked him again and Shoto drove back to Ruka's. Despite a few bumps courtesy of his mother, the night had been very nice. Arriving back at her apartment, he let himself in and locked the door behind him. Spotting Ruka cleaning the dessert dishes, he strode over and wrapped an arm around her, kissing her temple. "Thank you again for tonight." He hoped what his mother said didn't freak her out. Urgh parents.

- - -

If he did want to stay the night, he'd get the couch of course, or maybe the bed and she'd take the couch but either way, she decided not to bring up again. Ayumi would have been a bit perturbed by him smelling her but then again, they were so close. She expected him to move back but instead he was staying where he was. Her eyes wandered around for a moment, not sure why she put herself in this situation. She just said she liked him and she shouldn't be pushing herself on him. And yet he was in her arms. She cringed at herself and looked to Aizawa, trying to breathe but she was suddenly finding it a bit difficult.

When Aizawa seemed to agree so easily to her meeting up with him tomorrow, she smiled. Oh like a date! No, not a date. But a date like an appointment of sorts. She rested her chin on top of his head. "Don't make a scene? Me?" Hmm so she couldn't bring black glittery smoke bombs and pretend to summon her and Shota in the middle of a crowd? Well maybe he said no but he meant yes. Some people did mean the opposite of what they said right? Ayumi decided she might bring some charms just in case, while he didn't care much for his public image or social media presence, Witchya did. Her agency loved her gimmick and she was happy to connect to civilians as a friendly neighborhood witch of the people!

As she began to make a move to sit back and put some distance between her and the dark haired man, she felt his arms move around her. Ayumi's face turned red. What was he doing?! Her heart began to race as he told her not to move and that she was cold. Her eye twitched. Oh right he was hot huh? Erm. Focus, Ayumi. "D-don't tell me what to do." She huffed softly as she stayed where she was but not because he told her to. She knew her fingers were a bit cool so she moved to hold the nape of his neck, knowing that was a good area to cool someone off quickly. "You're so stubborn." She grumbled, moving her hands to his ears, massaging them gently.

- - -

Floral notes filled his nose, she smelled like spring, so fresh and welcoming. It was like he was in the middle of a garden, surrounded by Namie-chan. He didn't want to be anywhere else but in her arms. Nope. And just hearing his name called in such a sweet tender way, ah it was almost enough to threaten another overload of his brain but with Namie, he wasn't too fearful of that happening. He was truly in good, safe, sweet arms heh. Namie pulling back to say he was sweeter, made him chuckle. Was he sweeter? No no, she was sweeter than he was. Kissing her back, he followed her lead as his tongue stroking hers.

Slyly luring her tongue into his own mouth, Denki sucked on it gently, enjoying how she tasted. Yes, she had to be the best thing he'd ever tasted and his male mind couldn't help but wander to other things that might taste just as good. A few sparks fly out of his head as he held back a moan. Behave, Denki. Oh but just those thoughts alone almost made him lose control of his quirk. Well he would have to wait and find out just how sweet she was in other erm areas. Breaking the wet, slightly sloppy kiss, he caught his breath and was certain his face was rather flushed as she confirmed he was much tastier. Oh my~

Feeling her hands on his chest was quite nice but he wondered if he might be able to do the same to her? Nooo too soon right? When Namie undid a button, he blushed even harder and moved his hands along her arms, not minding since he felt rather hot all of a sudden. But it was a glowing feeling he didn't mind at all. But the cool air was good too. He undid his tie slightly and smirked slightly, "It's uh a little hot in here huh?" He blinked a few times. But no, he would be polite and take it slow. Yes, no need to rush, even if her floral scent was intoxicating. Leaning back down, he began to nibble and nip at her lower lips, sending another wave of electrical shocks into her mouth as he shivered and moaned her name.

AiAi AiAi
 
He was honest to a fault he supposed, but he was glad Mela still accepted it. He wanted to be showered with her sweet kisses a bit longer...that really did do the trick in warming him up ehe. He blushed as she began to kiss along his neck and ear, a soft moan escaping his parted lips when she teased his ear. Ah, she was very skilled...something that made him both happy and sad. What a conflicting feeling this was. But he knew he had no right to be upset. After all, she was allowed to be with anyone she wanted to be...but he hoped he can be her last. Was that too selfish of him to think? As she gave him more soft kisses, he opened his eyes at her words, "mmm, I'm all warm now..." yes, very warm. He'll put aside his brewing thoughts to the side for now. All he wanted to do at this very moment was to just shower Mela with all his attention and growing feelings for her. Holding her a bit tighter, he enjoyed the night with her, admiring the starry sky above them.

After a bit longer, since it was getting a bit too cold, Toshinori decided to call it a night. He blushed as he recalled how he accidentally spent the night at her place, but no no! He wasn't about to do that. No, that was too soon...right? Er, stop brain, just stop! Smiling over at Mela as he arrived back at her place, he kissed her goodnight and watched her enter her place before driving back to his place. His face was red as his heart thudded loudly in his chest. He still couldn't believe what just happened and then recalled how he asked her to be his girlfriend and she said yes! She said yes! Smile widening, Toshinori went home and fell asleep rather quickly, the happiness and exhaustion creeping up on him all of a sudden. He might have gotten a bit too excited. Ehe.

- It's Friday~! Happy Happy Friday~! -

Waking up early the next morning, Toshinori felt quite light on his feet and a lot more...brighter. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that he and Mela were now officially a couple and dating, but he supposed it also had to do with it being Friday. Smiling to himself, he got dressed and ready for work where he jumped over there in his muscle form. Ah, today was a good day he just knew it~! He couldn't wait for lunch when he could see Mela, though as he was making his way to the office, he was stopped by Momiji Shounen. Oh? Smiling over at the young blonde, All Might was about to thank him for his help the other day when the sly boy spoke up, something about needing a hero tonight. Huh? He had no clue what was going on, but a hero was needed and he was one, right? He gave Momiji Shounen a smile as he told him, "of course! I shall be there! But uh what is it for again, Momiji Shounen?" The boy gave no response and instead told All Might to come to meet him by the dormitory at eight tonight. What?

Lunch with Mela has been quite a great time for Yagi as he was able to spend it with her. He smiled over at her sweetly, just happy to see her. The two talked about a lot of things and he was looking forward to tomorrow's matches as he would be there. Smiling he told Mela, "I'll be there tomorrow cheering you on~! So do your best, we can go out and eat somewhere after?" He gave her an excited grin. Yes, another date~!

The week went by rather quickly, a bit too quickly for one Sohma's liking. Honey-gold hues stared out at the bright morning sky as he nibbled on a piece of toast. He was sitting outside the dormitory, lost in thought. He wanted to do something fun before they all had to part ways and then he and the rest of the exchange students will be back to their usual routine back in Tokyo. He frowned slightly as that didn't sit well with the blonde at all. No! Standing up, he decided to have some sort of party tonight, yes...a party. His eyes shined as an even better idea came to mind! Yes! That would definitely be possible! Spotting Kaminari and Ashido coming out from the building, Momiji's smile widened as he skipped over to the group, "hey you guys~" Oh, Kirishima was there too? And Uraraka? Even better~!

Clapping his hands together, Momiji spoke up, "soooo I have an aweeesome idea~!" Leaning forward with his hands crossed behind his back, Momiji grinned up at them, "want to know~?" Just that was enough to excite Mina and Ochako who both squealed at Momiji's cuteness. The blonde giggled as he told them, "let's have a party tonight! A slumber party~!" After giving the group a more detailed instruction of what to do, Momiji added, "we have to invite more people~ So make sure to invite everyone okay~?" he already had in mind to invite Mela, Ruka and a few others~ He grinned over to Denki as he told the blonde, "oh and make sure you invite that cutie too~" He held back a smirk as he knew Haru would be more willing to attend if the girl attended as well. Not like he'll tell Denki that of course~ After discussing a few more things, the group seemed quite excited with the prospect of having some fun.

Grinning, Momiji went to class, spotting Mela, he rushed over to her, glomping the brunette into a tight friendly hug, "Mela-chaaaan~!" He greeted the brunette with a wide smile before moving over to his seat as their teacher arrived. Oh, how he can't wait to tell her what he has planned~! Well...half the plan ehe. But lunchtime he wasn't able to talk with Mela since she hurried off somewhere. He tilted his head to the side, wondering if she had a date with All Might maybe? He held back a giggle as he decided to let her enjoy her lunch date, for now...he'll have to go and plant seeds into others.

Grinning widely, Momiji went to have lunch with the others who were in the cafeteria. Spotting Yuki and Tohru, Momiji sat beside the pair as he spoke up eagerly, "so tonight, we're going to be having a party at the dorms~! Make sure to invite your two partners too!" Yes, the more the better hehe. Momiji told them what time for the other two to come to the party and with a sly wink, Momiji added, "ah, make sure they have some change of clothes in case~ It might be a slumber party ehe." He might as well tell Yuki and Tohru that, otherwise the pair might come dressed differently or something. He wasn't sure, but he was hopeful Yuki won't go saying no to that. Momiji blurted out, "I even got a teacher's approval!" Yes, that would do, right?

After somehow persuading Yuki, Momiji headed off to train with Mela for the afternoon. Now to get his final tickets in and he was ready to go~! Getting changed, Momiji eagerly ran to the training room where he bounced around, waiting for Mela. When she did arrive, Momiji ran into her arms and grinned up at her, "Mela-chan~! Oh boy oh boy~! I have some fun news!" He couldn't wait. This was first. Or maybe he had to make a bet to make sure she comes? No no...there was already someone coming that would for sure make her come. Definitely. Hehe. Jumping around her excitedly, the shorter male spoke up, "so! Tonight! Come to the dorms around seven! We're going to have a slumber party! And make sure your cute friend, Ruka-chan and her boyfriend come too! You can't say no!" Seeing her hesitation, Momiji hid his coy smile as he spoke up a bit more calmly, "I even got a teacher's approval and everything...All Might-sensei was kind enough to offer to come and stay for the night~ Oh well, guess we'll just have to have twice as much fun for your sake too...I think Mina-chan mentioned spin the bottle?" Momiji placed a finger under his chin in thought. Well, no, that was his idea actually aha. He smiled over at Mela, "you realllly can't come tonight?" Hook line and sink. Hehe.

Looking up with hopeful eyes, Ruka smiled at Shoto's words, her shoulders relaxing. Nodding her head, she watched him head down to his car along with Rei. She always did admire the two's relationship, it was a lovely parent-child relationship. One that Ruka hoped to one day have with her own mother, but for that to even happen, Ruka knew she'll have to overcome a few obstacles. Heading back inside, Ruka looked around her apartment. Without Shoto around, somehow her place seemed a lot more...cold and empty. She frowned slightly as she took a seat on the couch, noticing that Rei forgot one of Shoto's baby photos. Picking it up, she stared at it for a while longer before smiling softly. Did Rei really forget? Or was this a well-placed accident? Giggling slightly, Ruka kissed the photo before standing up to place it inside a page of her favorite book. There, it's safe now.

Smiling, she moved back to clean up the plates and cups, heading over to the sink to clean them up. She paused as she passed by the bouquet of roses sitting innocently on her table. She blinked a few times before feeling her heart warm up as thoughts of Shoto came to mind. Ah, yes...now she didn't feel as alone. Just thinking of Shoto made her smile and warm. Heading to the sink, she began to wash the dishes, as she was drying them off a strong arm wrapped around her waist. She closed her eyes as she knew who this was immediately, "mmm it was my pleasure really...so thank you." She smiled up at Shoto as she placed the last of the dry dish away. Turning around, she wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning up to place a tender kiss on his lips. Pulling back, Ruka stared into his mismatching orbs as she smiled softly up at him, "did I tell you I love you so so much?"

Hugging him close, Ruka nuzzled against him. Ah yes...this was it. She was missing him so much, "welcome home, Shoto~" Ruka murmured out happily. Nuzzling close to him, Ruka kissed his lips then his ear as she whispered out suggestively, "want to go shower with me before we sleep~?" She gave him a teasing smile as she released him from her hold and sauntered off to the showers. She knew he would soon follow. Hehe. After a nice shower with her lover, Ruka got changed into her pajamas which were just Shoto's shirt. Sitting on the bed, she glanced over at Shoto as she smiled fondly at the image of him beside her. Yeah, this felt right...this felt just right. Hehe. Holding him close, Ruka was ready to sleep though of course they had a bit more...fun before they went to sleep. "Mmm night my love..." Ruka mumbled out as she nuzzled into his chest, falling asleep rather quickly.

- Morning already? -

Waking up the next morning with her lover right beside her, Ruka felt like today was off to a great start already~! Since she woke up first this time around, she gave Shoto a nice wake up before taking a quick shower with him. She would have offered to go start breakfast while he showered, but upon his insistence and literally being dragged into the shower, she took one with him. Getting changed into her school uniform, Ruka brushed out her long pink locks putting it into a ponytail as she went to work on breakfast and lunch. With Shoto's help, she made some pancakes, eggs, and bacon along with a bowl of fruits. She then went on to make some lunch for her and Shoto, assuming Mela was going to make a bento herself. The picture Ruka received from Mela yesterday told Ruka all that she needed to know. Well, a few things. One being, who the hell was the guy and when was she going to meet him? Because this time around, Ruka wasn't going to let the guy go easy. No, she let Aizawa off the hook many times and look what happened. Ruka was going to make sure that she has a nice and long talk with whoever was making her Mela happy. He better continue to make her happy damn it.

Realizing her murderous thoughts, Ruka focused back on making lunch as she told Shoto, "hey babe, does potato salad sandwich sound fine with you?" She made some extra last night for this very reason. She gave him a smile as she told him, "I'll add some fruits on the side too," just to make sure they had a balanced meal for lunch. After making breakfast with Mela coming over, Ruka greeted her best friend with a grin. Her eyes told Mela everything. Better tell her later what happened yesterday~

After the three had a nice breakfast, they headed off for school. Ruka nuzzled against Shoto during the car ride and when they got to class, she walked Mela to her seat before heading to her own. She greeted Yuki and Tohru before heading to her seat. She glared daggers at Aizawa like always, but somehow things seemed a bit different...but what? Brushing it aside, Ruka focused on the morning lessons before heading off for lunch with Shoto. During lunch, Ruka spoke up, "oh wow, today's already Friday...tomorrow is the match. Are you ready for it?" She gave him a smirk as she said confidently, "I'll definitely beat Yuki-san! So you have to do your best, okay?" She smiled over at him, leaning over to kiss him sweetly on the lips. Leaning back into his chest, Ruka looked up at the sky, why did she feel like today was going to be a long day?

After a nice lunch spent with her boyfriend, Ruka headed off to train for the afternoon. She gave Shoto a kiss before heading off, "see you after training love~!" Waving to Shoto, Ruka went to get changed. Meeting up with Yuki, the pair headed off to their training room. As the two were stretching, Yuki mentioned something about a party. Huh? Ruka blinked over at the princely boy, "a party?" she repeated in question. After his explanation about it being some slumber party held at the dorms, Ruka wondered if she was allowed to decline but when she heard it was Momiji who planned it, she had a feeling Mela was somehow dragged into it. Worried and not wanting to leave her best friend alone in such a situation, Ruka nodded her head, "sure, sounds like fun." Fun...uh-huh. She smiled as she knew she'll at least have Shoto by her side~!

The rest of training was time well spent as Ruka and Yuki sparred quite a lot. She was sweating and out of breath by the end of it, but she was looking forward to tomorrow. She gave Yuki a smirk as she told him, "I'll beat you tomorrow, mark my words, Prince-kun." She teased him about that little nickname before heading off to shower and change. She wanted to ask if Shoto was invited as well for the slumber party or whatever was taking place in the dorms tonight. Changing, she left her hair wet as she was a bit too tired for that and finding Shoto, she ran over to him, wrapping her arms around him happily, "Shoto~" She greeted him cheerfully. Oh, was she tired? Well, not anymore hehe. Smiling up at him, she asked right away, "hey, did Honda-san mention anything about a party?" She nodded her head as she explained, "Yuki-san invited me too, so I assumed you did too...um so what did you say? Because I sort of said yes...I'm just worried Mel is somehow involved and I can't leave her be." Ruka told him honestly and she added with a slight smirk, "plus, that means I get to spend another night with you~" How can she say no to that?

- - -

He held back a biting comment as he simply closed his eyes and reveled in her cool touch. When she placed her hand on the back of his neck, Shota let out a small sigh. That felt good. His grip on her tightened a tad more as he held her close. Blinking slightly, he felt sleepy with her soft massages. Hm, maybe next time he has stiff shoulders, he can ask her for a massage? Hah. Thanking her silently, Shota brushed his lips against her exposed shoulder, staying there for a moment longer. His hand moved up and down her back his fuzzy brain wondering if she would like a massage back? Ah, but she didn't complain about having a sore back so he supposed he won't have to go out of his way to do that. After staying in her arms for a moment longer, he pulled back to get some more wine.

- Urgh, what time is it? -

Shota woke up the next morning with a headache. He held back a grumble as he found himself to be back home, well...that was good...but what the hell happened after that? He recalled having come over to Ayumi's place after speaking with Mela and then...then they drank and then...? Then what? He tried to remember, but it was all pretty fuzzy. He wasn't bad when drunk so he was positive he didn't do anything to her and he was certain that she wouldn't go taking advantage of a drunk either...hopefully. Shrugging it aside, Shota went to take a hot shower in hopes of easing his headache. He'll have to ask Ayumi later today in case he did do anything...but hopefully, he hasn't. He just remembered leaning against her for some cool touch while drinking a bit more. He can't recall if he said anything else, but he had a feeling it wasn't that eventful...or so he hoped.

Headache slightly gone, Shota ate some breakfast and popped in a few painkillers before heading for work. At work, he met with the other staff members, his eyes meeting Ayumi's for a moment. He blinked for a moment before he nodded his head to her in greeting. Her words still rather fresh on his mind. Think about it huh. He went to class 3-A and went over a few things before heading out once more. He was able to make eye contact with Mela without feeling a pang in his heart...that was good progress, right? Trying not to think too much into it, Shota went back to the office where he stayed there for the remainder of the time. He wondered if he should show up for the afternoon lessons, but it seems like Ayumi and All Might had it under control. He'll probably have to show up for tomorrow though...his class better show him the progress they made while turning the tables onto the exchange students. If not, he'll give them a pop quiz or something.

When it came to lunch, Shota spent it with Hizashi and Ayumi, him falling asleep halfway through as he was still a bit tired. Hopefully, he can get some rest before the patrol tonight. Something told him it was going to be a long night. If he knew what his class was planning tonight, he would have probably come storming in and gave them all a good scolding, especially All Might...if only he knew.

When she undid his button, she felt a shiver run through her as he gave her such a sexy looking smirk and ahhh! She felt her cheeks flush slightly as she grinned back at him. Her hand played with his tie as she sounded contemplative, "hmm yeah, it is a bit hot in here huh?" She undid another button of his as she smirked down at him, "want me to help you cool down?" But she had a feeling that she would end up making him hotter than cooler. Hehe. With his lips on her own, she couldn't say anything else as a moan left her lips instead. Ah, he was such a tease. Eyes fluttering shut, she held him close as she let out a soft moan. He really knew how to use his quirk huh? She felt a nice tingling sensation course through her thanks to his quirk. It was a delightful feeling.

Yes, it was getting quite hot in here huh. Pulling back, Namie stared down at Denki with half-lidded teal hues, her chest heaving as she panted softly. She tugged at the front of her dress, feeling quite hot indeed. She gave him a teasing smirk as she moved his hand to rest on her thigh as she purred out, "still hot, Den~ki~?" she licked his ear and sucked on it, her tongue reaching in to tease his ear. But maybe she went too far? She noticed a few more bolts bouncing off of him. Giggling slightly, she pulled back and gave him a sweet smile, "nice and slow is fine by me too." She didn't want to push him to the point he's uncomfortable, but if he so wanted to go another step, she was more than willing. She has been waiting for him for quite some time, after all. Leaning down she kissed him sweetly on the lips and cuddled with him for the rest of their time spent together.

- Can I come to see you? -

Ah, last night felt like a dream. To Namie, it still was a wonderful dream. Too bad she had to see Denki off after that since it was still a school night. She held back a pout as she woke up in her room alone. Ah, how she wished she can wake up next to Denki. No no...that was too soon, or was it? Was there really a set time necessary for certain things to happen between a couple? Surely, there was no set rules or standards to dating and love. Not that she believes. As she got ready for the last day of her midterm, Namie received a morning text from her boyfriend. She smiled adoringly down at the text and photo before she snapped a photo of herself in just her nightgown before sending it back to Denki. Giggling to herself, she got up and got ready for school. During lunch, Namie received a phone call from Denki about hanging out after school, something that she eagerly accepted. Being told to bring her pajamas and a change of clothes, Namie wondered what was going on. Smiling, she texted him an okay as she giggled to herself, already missing him.

Genkai Genkai
 
With Friday upon them, Mela had some time before going over to Ruka's so she could think about last night. It had be so sweet and she was hoping they could have many more moments together. But what should they do tomorrow following the rematches? She was leaning towards an amusement park or the zoo. But lunch first would be preferred, yes. As she arrived at Ruka's, she gave Shoto a look. He was staying over a lot more. She hoped he was pulling his weight with rent and other finances. If he was just mooching, she would have to say something or set up a nice trap for him. Hopefully he didn't have a key. Though Ruka had met Yagi at her party, she still wanted to talk to Toshi about maybe meeting Ruka formally as her boyfriend, but she still didn't to know about All Might. No no.

Mela smiled and just said they went to dinner and went to lay under the stars, that is what happened. Pretty much. When they all got to school, Mela headed off to class and found Momiji hugging her good morning which made her remember she needed to make him some brownies for his help, even though she didn't really ask for it. She settled in her seat and smiled in thanks to Ruka. When Shota entered, she looked over curiously at him, wondering how he was. He looked a bit more groggy and grumpy than usual. She wished she could ask him if he was okay but she was sure he'd just brush her off and mention something about a student not needing to worry about teachers. When lunch rolled around, Mela took her own bento off to find Toshi so they could eat together. The pair settled somewhere private like yesterday and enjoyed the food.

Mela gave him a nod. "Oh yes, tomorrow will be great, I can just feel it." She smiled to him, looking more forward to spending more time with Toshi than the actual rematches, she'd need to plan for that too huh? "I'll see you later!" Mela kissed him before she headed off to go change and train with Momiji. Upon reaching their room, she found a young boy suddenly falling into her arms. Mela smiled down at him and ruffled his hair. What was he scheming now? A slumber party? That did sound fun but she would much rather go home and maybe invite Toshi over. He could help her plan for tomorrow's rematch. Yeah sure. Would Ruka really attend though? Maybe she could get Ruka to go and then duck out? This whole thing could be fun or it could be too much trouble. Trouble manufactured by a certain blond exchange student heh.

"I-I don't know..." She began to say but when Momiji mentioned All Might and him staying the night, she paused. Really? Could he really stay over? "Well maybe I could go for a little bit..." She pressed her lips together. Spin the bottle? Like from those tv shows? That could be fun but she couldn't let anyone else enjoy her boyfriend. No no, she'll go to make sure Toshinori was okay. Their training went well as Mela tried to focus on catching Momiji and not whatever tonight would bring. Soon class ended and she headed off, saying she'd be there around 7 tonight. For now she decided to head home and make those brownies since she didn't see herself having time before tomorrow's match. She still wondered if All Might knew what he had agreed to. If he knew, he may have picked a quiet, calm evening with her instead.

But they couldn't back out now right? She made a double batch of s'mores brownies and relaxed a bit before she got changed into a pair of dark blue jeans and a comfortable navy blue tee shirt which had an accent of blue leather around the collar and hips. She packed a backpack with a change of clothes for tomorrow and other items before she grabbed the bus back to UA. Something told her this was a bad idea heh but how crazy could this night be? Mela texted Ruka to make sure she wasn't going to be going alone. Upon hearing her friend was attending, she smiled and found the dorms pretty easily. She handed Momiji the two trays of brownies, figuring he could share them with the others. Mela headed over to chat with Deku, the topic of All Might of course coming up rather quickly. Surely Mela could sneak off with All Might at some point?

The two talked about their matchups and what they were thinking of doing. She was always happy to hear about his thoughts on battle tactics. Deku thought many steps ahead and so did Mela so they had a lengthy discussion about going up against various people. She smiled as he left for a moment and came back with some soda for them both. Deku shyly mentioned that she wasn't seeing anyone. While no one really knew about her and Aizawa-sensei, Mela did mention she was seeing someone during their time together. But when Deku tried to see if she was now single, Mela waved a hand quickly. He was a bit too late. "S-sorry I am seeing someone." She said though she wondered if she should just tell him who it was but decided to just wait until she talked to All Might tonight about what they wanted to tell others. Hopefully he wasn't as reserved as Shota? But Mela would respect whatever Toshi decided or if he would prefer the public not know All Might had someone, it would sadden her but she'd understand.

- - -

Home huh? Ahh yes, he did like to consider this home but he knew it was more true wherever Ruka was. She was more of his home than any one place. He couldn't exactly move in to her place right? No no but it was very comforting to know she felt like her home could be his home too. He had a few things at her place but it wasn't exactly the same. But he would enjoy being able to return to her and being welcomed into her arms, no matter where she was. Once the cleanup was done, the two shared a nice hot shower together before they retired to bed. And after a few more shared intimate moments together, they drifted off to sleep. "Goodnight babe." He smiled softly as he rested on his back, his arm wrapped around Ruka, keeping her close. As soon as those words left his lips, he was out like a light.

Morning was quite productive before they even got out of bed. He and Ruka shared another steamy shower before they got ready for school though Shoto wished he had a bit more time in bed cuddling with his love. Ah maybe tonight he could spend the night or was that too much? He wasn't sure if his father even noticed he was gone but he would eventually right? Yeah, Shoto didn't want his father assuming things like him dead somewhere or him at Ruka's heh. Those two outcomes were very different and either way, Shoto didn't want his father hunting him down for either reason. He glanced to Ruka as he helped with the meal prep. "Oh yes that sounds good to me." Sandwiches could be very good and filling. And with their rematches tomorrow, he wanted them to have plenty of fuel to take down these exchange students.

After Mela arrived, they ate and headed off to school. Somehow the week just flew by and now Saturday was by a stone's throw away. Shoto settled in his seat as he eyed some of the exchange students. Even though he and Honda-san and Yuki-san had sort of befriended one another, he was ready to have his old classmates back though he never thought he'd even think such a thing even two years ago. At lunch, he spent the hour with Ruka, eating and chatting about tomorrow. He was still looking forward to their short getaway off in the wood. He was thinking a hike followed by a spa would really hit the spot after tomorrow's rematches. Then Sunday they could relax and do some more exploring? That sounded very good to him. "I always do heh." He smiled as they parted ways.

With his training with Honda-san, she shyly brought up tonight's little get together. She explained that it would be a cozy sleepover and that everyone was going to be invited. Shoto glared. Nooo thanks. He wasn't interested in that. At. All. He could only imagine what kind of hell that would be become but when the girl added that Momiji was inviting Ruka too, his face fell. Well so much for staying over at her place again. But he wasn't going to have her go alone and be stuck with Bakugo and Kaminari and the other guys. Even though everyone knew Ruka was happily taken, Shoto wasn't going to leave Ruka alone as his fellow teenaged friends played strange games. "I'll go." He quickly said. Plus if it was too bad, he could probably convince Ruka to go back to his place for the night and get erm proper rest for tomorrow's fights.

After he got changed, Ruka sought him out and he curled his arms around. "Yes, Honda-san did invite me. I suppose we both got roped into it huh?" He considered. It was good of Ruka want to make sure Mela was okay. He kissed her head, "Let's go back to your place so we can pack and get some rest. I have a feeling it might be a long night." He gave her a smirk as he took her hand and headed for his car. The pair got back to her place and cuddled up in bed, taking a light nap together. After an hour they got up and Shoto enjoyed her one more time, as he wasn't sure if he could tonight given they were at a party with everyone. He packed some things with Ruka in one bag and drove back to school, surprised to see Mela there already. Shoto and Ruka walked over to Yuki and Tohru who looked a bit shy still. Out of his uniform, he wore black slacks and deep red button up shirt, something casual but slightly dressy but he did feel a bit overdressed even in just that. He wasn't really one for sleepover protocol.

Yuki and Tohru were still breaking the ice between themselves. Both weren't sure who might make the first move but neither of them knew Momiji had plans for many people tonight, including them as well as Ruka and a certain explosion boy. "It's so good you two could come." Tohru smiled to them. For now everyone was mingling in the main sitting room on the dorm's fourth floor where the exchange students were housed. The sitting room had a kitchenette, several couches and a tv and food had already been spread around, including a certain someone's brownies. Shoto gave a nod to Tohru, his hand still holding onto Ruka's. "Isn't everyone going to be a bit too tired for tomorrow's matches?" Shoto asked. "I'm sure it'll be fine. We've all worked so hard this week, we deserve some fun tonight, right Kurotsuki-san?" Tohru smiled.

Feeling his hand move along her back, she held back a soft moan. Thankfully they just went back to drinking and Ayumi kept an eye on him. Eventually he passed out and she waited until she sobered up before she fly him back to his place. She fished the key out of his pocket an let herself in, greeted by Mi. Ayumi set Aizawa on his bed and took off his shoes and leaned over, about to kiss his forehead but stopped herself. Why do something he wouldn't even remember? Sighing to herself, she set his shoes by the door and let the key on his table before she headed back home. She was glad she didn't fly into anything and went back to clean up. She finished her glass of abandoned whisky and cleaned up the trash. Ayumi couldn't regret what she said. No, she had put the ball in his court now she just had to wait until he wanted to play.

The next morning, Ayumi woke up bright and early, feeling much better than her counterpart. Ayumi spent her morning teaching and ate lunch with Hizashi and Aizawa though she didn't say much to him as he looked rather out of it. When he did fall asleep, Ayumi set him on the couch on his sleeping bag before she cozied up and hung off of Hizashi, wanting to hear more stories about Aizawa during his high school years. Hizashi mentioned one time Aizawa, Toshinori and the rest of the staff went out for drinks last year and Aizawa held a whole conversation with a statues, under the impression it was All Might and when it fell over and broke, Aizawa freaked out. Hizashi found it quite amusing but mentioned how Toshinori didn't go out drinking much anymore because of that crazy night.

After school, Ayumi headed off to lounge at home until dusk fell over the city. When it was time for her patrol to begin, she grabbed a quick bite of fast food before she flew off to her agency to check in. She had on black jeans and a flowy black long sleeve shirt which had kimono sleeves and a low neckline. Atop her head, she had her black hat as usual. She flew around, just wanting to see how long Aizawa would wait or if he even remembered about teaming up tonight. Flying down to where she knew he worked, she landed and spotted him waiting. Aw. "Hey." She said in greeting. "I never got to ask but you feeling okay after last night?" She asked him. It was probably a mix of him being emotional, her confessing and drinks that hit him over the head.

Still, Ayumi did feel somewhat responsible for his state. But he made it home okay and he was fine now it seemed. But she had a feeling he may not show up to her place anytime soon if she kept surprising him. Ayumi glanced around. "Anyway, we should get going. Wanna hop on?" She asked him. She had heard whispers of a party of sorts at the dorms but she wasn't about to tell Aizawa that. No way.

- - -

Denki was still getting used to the concept of having a girlfriend, someone he could lean on and talk to. Someone he could kiss and hold. Ah, it was all so new and very exciting. But he also told himself there wasn't a need to push things too far too quickly. No. But he did feel bad that Namie had been waiting for him to notice and do something. He didn't mean to cause her pain and he was sure he could relate to how she felt with how he had felt regarding Ruka. But Denki knew he and Ruka weren't going to happen. He could move on and enjoy Namie without holding back or having his thoughts linger to a certain fiery quirk user. No, right now the only thing he could think about was Namie and her sweet moans. His brain was on the brink of dying when she took his hand and moved it to her thigh. "Ahh, y-you feel so s-soft~" He blushed deeply.

He almost let out a rather large electric charge when he smiled up at her, his face quite flushed. He wanted more but he also felt his mind slipping very far away and he needed to try and control that if he could fully enjoy his date. Thankfully, Namie seemed okay with taking it slow but he still felt a little bad but had to remember they had plenty of nights to have some fun and take it slow. Nights where he didn't have to go back to his dorm. He kissed her many times as he held her in his arms for a while, her back pressed against his chest. Soon he decided to go but not without a few more longing kisses. Taking the last bus back to UA, he found Eijiro waiting up with Peachy, demanding many answers and to not leave anything out. Denki grinned and fell onto his bed, far too buzzed and happy to refuse Eijiro's demands.

When morning came, Denki sent Namie a good morning text bu found himself on the receiving end of a rather tempting picture of Namie. He blinked a few times, his mind wandering far too easily. Oh did girlfriends do this? He giggled to himself and wondered if he was to send something back to her? He wasn't about to show Eijiro and ask though. No! This was his picture, no one else's. Sitting up, the male headed into the bathroom and snapped a photo of him in his cotton black pants and him shirtless. What? They were showing off their PJ choices right? Eheh. He sent it to her, blushing nervously as he headed off to class after changing. Once there, he was told about a sleepover thing by White Haru. So at lunch Denki called up Namie and quickly told her to come and keep him company. Plus he was sure he could have a good time with his girlfriend.

Eijiro pumped him up as the hours ticked by, Denki thought maybe he could sneak Namie into his dorm at night and cuddle with her a bit privately? Denki changed into tan cargo pants and a simple black tee shirt with a bright golden bolt on it. He headed to the fourth floor to mingle and wait for Namie to show up. He nervously snacked on a brownie with Eijiro, watching the entry for Namie, his heart already aflutter.

AiAi AiAi
 
Having lunch with Mela made Toshinori's day all the more bright as he must admit it was the highlight of his day so far. He was able to enjoy her company and have her delicious homemade bento once again. Ah, truly this is what happiness must be like. After talking with her while of course sneaking in a few kisses, he watched her head off for her afternoon lessons. He smiled at her retreating figure before forgetting to tell her that he would be busy tonight due to a certain young blonde's request. Hm, now that he thought about it...what did Momiji Shounen need help with at such a time? Well, regardless, as a teacher and a hero he will comply to Momiji Shounen's request. Then there was the topic of his and Mela's relationship. He should formally let at least the Principal know...he was also thinking of having a word with Aizawa-kun, but perhaps that was still too early...? But he wasn't really the type to hide such things though he knows one thing. He doesn't want to bring any harm to Mela, but at the same time, he does want to show off his pretty girlfriend too. Argh, such conflicting thoughts. Maybe just speaking with Mela would be the best?

Shaking his head free of all the jumbled up thoughts and concerns, Toshinori bulked up into his muscle form and went off to supervise and assist the students of class 3-A for the afternoon. Once school was done with, he headed home once to freshen up and get some food before heading back to U.A. at the appointed time he was given by Momiji Shounen. In his hero costume, All Might arrived at the dorms of 3-A, staring up at the looming building, he noticed the lights were still on. Hm, there really was something going on then? Heading inside, he was met with the cheerful bouts of his students. Midoriya Shounen noticed him first as the green-haired male squeaked out in a slight panic, "A-All Might!?" Huh? What was going on here?

He looked around and noticed it to be some sort of...party...? A get together? As his eyes trailed around the room slowly, he noticed that a few who didn't live in the dorms were there as well, such as Kurotsuki Shoujo, Todoroki Shounen...Mela....wait, Mela!? He did a double take as he looked over at Mela, surprised to see her here. Huh!? W-What is going on!? Ah, but she looked so cute, wait no! Stop Toshinori! Now is not the time to admire your girlfriend! Thankfully, a sudden speedy rabbit came pouncing into his arms with a yell, "All Might-sensei~! You made it~! Now we can get the party started!!! Everyone! Gather around and let's play some games~" Momiji hanged off of All Might cheerfully while telling everyone to gather up. All Might blinked a few times as he looked down at the mischievous blonde, "um Momiji Shounen...when you said you needed help..." he trailed off as he saw Momiji's innocent smile, "hm? Oh. Well, we need a teacher's supervision and I thought you'd want to come?" He blinked up at All Might as he whispered out, "I mean....your girlfriend will be allll alone otherwise~" The thought of leaving has crossed his mind more than once when he realized it was a party, but at the mention of leaving Mela alone at a party...with other hormonal teenagers around her? Yeah, no. He stood straight as he let out a loud laugh while lightly patting Momiji on the back, "ahaha! A party you say? Well, let us play this game you have mentioned!" Dang...this boy knew well.

Momiji can only smile happily up at him before bouncing over to go and grab something from another room while everyone was gathering up into a circle on the couches. Walking over to where Mela was standing, All Might gave her a small smile, "hello Mela-chan!..." oops...uh..w-was he supposed to go with Uede Shoujo there? Ah, but it was such a hard habit to break! He continued to smile as he told her, "I didn't think I'd see you here, to be honest, I didn't even know there was a party hahaha!" Well...okay so maybe he was a tad embarrassed, argh if only he brought a change of clothes, oh but then again...he may have a spare in the teachers' locker room...? He gave her a smile as he told her, "are you going to be staying the night as well?" He might as well stay if she is, plus he was here to supervise...yes...to supervise...nothing else...ahem. "Ah, well let's go take a seat!" He can already hear Momiji Shounen returning at the speed of light...really, this boy was too quick...in more ways than one. Urgh.

- - -

Happy to have everyone attending the slumber party, Momiji's mind was working as he began to formulate the many many plans he had for the night. Oh yes, he was going to have fun. Very much. Hehe. Once school was over, Momiji had left early to go and get ready for the party with the help of a few others. He and Mina have already planned most of the games they were going to play and Momiji knew which one he wanted to start off with...oh but there were so many good ones to pick from. But no no, they had all night..heh. Once everything was in order from the beverages to some food, Momiji was happily greeting everyone as they came into the fourth floors lounge area. He was wearing a simple blue and white striped v-neck sweater and some beige joggers pants. He had his bangs held up with a cute little scrunchie and he was all ready to go!

When he saw Mela enter the area, he ran over to her immediately greeting her, "Mela-chaaaan~! You made it~! Oh, wow! These look sooo yummy! Thank you~!" He smiled brightly up at her as he accepted the brownies, happily taking a bite of it as he went over to place it on the table along with the other snacks they had. As every one of 3-A along with the exchange students has arrived, even Ruka and Shoto, Momiji grinned as he noticed the clock ticking slowly to eight. Yes...it was time~! So when All Might made his appearance, Momiji ran straight towards the pro-hero excitedly. Yes! The games can finally begin!

Once everyone understood why All Might was there, a few of the more pensive ones such as Iida seemed to have calmed down. A party held at U.A. without a teacher's supervision was unacceptable! Or something along those lines was Iida spouting just minutes ago, but now everyone can have fun~! After giving directions for everyone to gather around at the couches, Momiji left to grab the bottle that he had prepared earlier. No no, he didn't rig it or anything like that~ He didn't need to. Heh. Hiding his smirk, he came back as he bounced to stand in the center along with an excited Mina, "okay~! Now that everyone is here, let's play games!" A series of cheers could be heard here and there. Smile in place, Momiji held the bottle up as he winked while explaining, "so, of course, the first game we should play is obviously spin the bottle~So one person spins it and whoever it lands on...you two will have to go into the closet~! For you know what ehehehehehe." He giggled slightly as he pointed at the large storage closet in the lounge area.

When Iida began to raise complaints about it and Bakugou looked just about ready to go, Momiji zipped up to Iida's side and whispered into the taller boy's ear, "you can do annything you want~ From kissing...to you know, who knooows, you might get lucky and land on...ehe." He giggled as he saw Iida's face slowly turn red as he saw the glasses boy take a quick glance towards Mela. Momiji grinned as he then spoke up loudly, "aw, it's just a little game...you can't possibly lose in it...or can you?" He sounded like he was pondering over that when Bakugou's movements stopped rather abruptly. The spiky blonde marched back over and sat back down next to Ruka with a rather angry 'hmph'. Momiji hid his grin, ah boys, they were just too easy. Heh. Smiling around, he said, "alright! Who wants to go first~?"

- - -

Ruka smiled up at Shoto, laughing slightly, "yeah...we both got dragged into this alright." But hey, at least they'll have each other? Plus, Ruka didn't want to leave Mela alone. She couldn't do that to her best friend. No no, Ruka will be right there and if anyone tried anything funny to her Mela, Ruka won't stand by and be quiet. Nope! Though hopefully, she won't have to. At Shoto's suggestion of taking a nap, Ruka wholeheartedly agreed. If her gut instincts were correct, tonight was going to be a long night. Walking to Shoto's car, the two headed back to her place. The two got comfy in her bed, enjoying a bit of cuddling together before taking a nap. Ruka was woken by Shoto and enjoyed herself greatly.

Once they were full of each other for now, they packed. Ruka just threw her clothes in with Shoto's, not really minding to share a bag. It was easier that way, no? Somehow, these little acts always made her quite happy. They really were a couple and she felt even closer to him. Hehe. She was debating whether she should just give Shoto a spare key to her place since he came over quite often lately. Not like she minded his company, no no. If anything, she loved it and would welcome him over anytime. The idea of going to bed with Shoto and then waking up to him beside her, it was a happiness that Ruka never knew of until she met Shoto. She was also looking forward to their little vacation away into the woods. She was going to do her best against Yuki so that she can enjoy herself with Shoto afterward! Yes, it was a good motivation for her to try her very best against Yuki tomorrow. Oh, but seeing the little Prince's fallen expression as she wins would be another nice motivation too...just kidding. She wasn't thaaaat mean...heh.

Once they were done packing, the two drove back to U.A. where Ruka was surprised to see Mela already there. She smiled slightly at that, glad to see Mela happier. Yes, that was how Mela should be. Ruka was glad. Spotting Tohru and Yuki up ahead, Ruka greeted the two with a smirk, "hey you two." She would have let out a few more teasing comments, but she'll hold back for now. Heh. Ruka was eyeing the smores brownies that she knew Mela had to have made when she turned her attention back to the conversation at hand. Hm? What were they talking about? Oh, the party? She glanced up at Shoto, lightly squeezing his hand as she said with a smile, "I'm sure it'll be just fine. We'll win, right?" She gave a teasing smile to Yuki and Tohru when Tohru couldn't help but comment out with a slight gush about how they were so cute wearing matching couples outfits. Hm?

Glancing down at her clothes which was a pleated black skirt and an equally black button up sleeveless shirt with a strip of white down the center and a red ribbon and black thigh high socks and boots, Ruka noted that she and Shoto were quite matching in colors and style. She blinked a few times before smiling over at Tohru, "why thank you, but this was quite a coincidence hehe." She gave Shoto a sweet smile, guess they matched without even thinking? That was a nice thought hehe. Ah, but she forgot to bring a jacket, hm well maybe she can borrow from someone. Eh, she'll worry about that when that happens, but something told her that Shoto will gladly keep her warm. Hehe.

As everyone arrived, Ruka walked over to greet Mela briefly before meeting a rather grumpy Katsuki. She lifted a brow. She didn't think the grump would come. She gave Katsuki a slight smirk in greeting but then a sudden commotion caught everyone's attention. Hm? All Might? Deku seemed the most surprised out of them all while Momiji bounced over as if it was all planned. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she was glad she decided to come. She wasn't sure what the young blonde had in mind, but something told her All Might was here for a certain brunette who was her best friend. Urgh, she never gets a break from keeping an eye on them old geezers huh?

At Momiji's instructions, Ruka moved over to the couches, taking a seat next to Shoto on one of the couches. At the mention of games, Ruka looked quite curious. She's never really had a slumber party other than just hanging out and staying the night at Mela's place which would only result in the two girls just cooking and baking while talking about everything and anything...so it did make her quite curious and a bit excited. But when Momiji returned and began to explain what sort of game it was, Ruka blanched slightly. Eh? D-did she have to participate? Seeing some were not liking the idea, Ruka thought she could squeeze her way out of it as well when Momiji said something to cause both to stay. Ruka blinked in slight surprise as even Katsuki stayed, though that little provocation was more than enough to make the blonde snap. Ruka sweatdropped as she glanced over at the spiky blonde who sat next to her.

When Momiji asked who wanted to go first, Ruka was surprised to see Izuku raise his hand first. She blinked slightly before glancing over at Mela briefly. Was he? Her eyes narrowed as she watched Momiji happily skip over to give Izuku the bottle before moving over to sit on the ground by Mela's feet. She didn't like any guy going after her Mela, but she supposed Izuku was alright compared to All Might. She watched as the nervous green-haired boy spun the bottle and to her surprise, it landed on Ochako. She watched as Momiji happily pushed the pair into the closet and began a timer of sorts. How long was that timer for...? Only the happy blonde knew from the looks of it. After what seemed like forever, Izuku and Ochako came out of the closet looking quite red. Ruka blinked a few times, did they..? Well, why wouldn't they, right? But then he liked Mela? Ruka was tilting her head to the side in question when Momiji then asked who wanted to go next! Eh...? Wasn't there like a turn base from here on out?

Having a bad feeling all of a sudden, Ruka wasn't that surprised when Katsuki snapped, demanding to give the bottle to him. Of course, if Izuku his rival went, he had to go next. Ruka watched Katsuki spin the bottle rather aggressively, it nearly toppling off the table when it...pointed straight at her. "Eh...?" She blinked a few times...how was this possible? She was sitting next to him for crying out loud! Ruka sat there rigid before she was suddenly whisked away from Shoto's grasp and towards the closet door along with a growling Katsuki. Wait, how did she even get here? She looked over her shoulder to see Momiji pushing them inside with a wide smile on his lips, "have fun you two~!" Momiji chirped out while Ruka was pushed inside without another warning. Eh? Wait! Shoto!

"H-Hold on!" Ruka squeaked out but the door was shut in on her face. No way. Outside, Momiji turned to face Shoto before things got out of hand. Holding his hands up, he told the half and half boy, "they're just in the closet~ They don't have to do anything you know! But...maybe something will happen? Just kidding~" He giggled slightly as he glanced over to the still blushing Ochako and Midoriya. He gave Shoto a slight smirk. Hopefully...things don't get out of hand in there. Hah.

If Shota knew the stories Hizashi was telling Ayumi, he would have personally tied the blonde up and fed him to the sharks...but no...heroes don't do that, right? Well, friends can do that to each other is his rather valid excuse. He wasn't a bad drunk! Really, he wasn't! It's just he didn't drink too much that often, but around people he is more used to, he would...unwind a bit more he supposed. But that was rare and if he knew he was the cause for All Might not going out to get drinks...well he'll just smirk at that and revel in it. Heh. But no no...the first thing he should really focus on was getting rid of this dang headache before the patrol tonight. As the afternoon went by rather quickly, Shota woke up in the teacher's lounge in his sleeping bag...ah? When did he take this out? Not really questioning it as he would do that without thinking at times, Shota went home to feed Mi and well, feed himself too.

After giving some food to Mi, he ate a quick meal himself before deciding to take a power nap before the patrol. He had about an hour or so to spare so that was good enough. Laying down in his bed, Shota ignored the memories of him and Mela shared in this room as he pulled Mi close to his side before falling asleep. When he woke up an hour later, he found Mi sleeping by his head. Holding back a sigh, Shota got up and went to get ready for the night. Heading out, he arrived at his agency where he checked in and did some things before heading outside. He leaned against the wall, knowing that Ayumi was the one coming to pick him up. He scrunched his face up in distaste at that idea. Why was he the one getting picked up? Wasn't the guy supposed to do that..wait but no what the hell? Why was he even thinking like that? This was just between two heroes patrolling together, nothing else nothing more...right?

That was when Ayumi's words came ringing back into his mind, just think about it. Eh..why was that coming to mind now of all times...? Shaking his head, Shota noticed that she was late. He felt his eye twitch. Was she pulling his leg by making him wait, or did something happen to her? He had half the mind to just give her a call, but as he was pondering over what to do, she came....finally. He gave her a slight glare, she definitely did that on purpose. But he wasn't about to point that out. Hearing her question, Shota looked over at her with a blank look, "I'm fine." Yes, his headache was finally gone so he was perfectly fine.

He looked over at her broom then back at her face. Hop on? She made it sound so simple. Letting out a soft sigh, Shota walked over to take a seat behind her, his arms instinctively wrapping around her waist. Hm, it was becoming a habit. Propping his chin onto her shoulder, Shota spoke up next to her ear, "ready to go anytime...Witchya." Thankfully, she didn't go making a scene and so he'll forgive her for being late. As they flew off into the sky, Shota looked out below as he spoke up, "there isn't much that I heard of going on lately so hopefully tonight will be a peaceful one." Yes, the best nights was when there were no villains to fight. As much as he would love to kick a villain and throw them into jail, he rather not there be a crime occurring. A peaceful night meant they were doing a good job as heroes and that was the best news a hero could ever receive. He'll just leave the route up to Ayumi. Leaning his head against her shoulder, he closed his eyes as he told her, "you can pick the route for tonight..." Yeah, he'll just relax here for now. Opening his eyes, he spoke up, "did you want to grab food after?" He was certain there would be some places open plus by the time they were done, it was basically morning anyway.

Namie let out another dreamy sigh as she stood next to her classmates for their final midterm matches. She still couldn't get her mind off of the little picture Denki sent her this morning. Oh! He was such a tease! He did have quite a nice body which he hid quite well she must admit. She held back another sigh of longing as she couldn't wait for after school to come already. She was already missing Denki and she was quite excited about meeting up later that day. She was told there was some sort of party and to bring a change of clothes, meaning she was staying the night? Oh! How exciting~! But that was a good idea since that way she won't miss Denki's match tomorrow! Yes, it was a perfect idea!

Once her final tests were done and out of the way, Namie quickly went home to pack a bag and get ready to go! She was told to come around seven so she had plenty of time but she was just so excited! Namie, of course, left a note for her parents in case they did come back, but she doubted they would. After packing her bag with a change of clothes and pajamas...wait...hmm. Her eyes lit up as a rather devious idea came to mind. Oh, she won't be needing a pajamas hehehe, not when she can just borrow Denki's shirt~! She let out a happy hum, praising herself for her grand idea which she'll pull later tonight. Hopefully, it'll just be her and Denki by then, and if not then oh well~ It was well worth the try hehe.

Once she finished packing her bag, Namie went to cook herself a light meal. She didn't have to worry about homework since she just finished her midterms so thankfully she only had to clean up her house a bit before heading off. Taking a quick shower and then changing into a baby pink babydoll shirt that had white ruffles on the edges where the front was cut short right above her navel while the back swept down to her mid-thigh area. She wore white shorts to go with the soft colors and knee-high boots. Pulling her hair into a side bun, Namie grabbed her bag and headed off to U.A. She knew where the dorms were since she would often go by and hang out with Denki and the others at times and so she easily found her way around the campus and let herself in the dormitory.

She was told to head up to the fourth floor and so she did just that. As she entered the fourth floor, she easily found the area where everyone was congregating due to the soft laughter she heard from the hallways. Heading inside, Namie soon found everyone there and her teal hues landed on Denki's figure. Smiling brightly, Namie hurried over to her boyfriend where she launched herself into his arms as she greeted him happily, "Denki-kun~! I'm here!! Thank you so much for inviting me over hehe." She smiled happily up at him, tiptoeing to give him a sweet kiss on the lips. Oh, she just couldn't resist! Hehe. Hearing Eijiro's playful whine, Namie turned her attention to the red-head, giving him a brief hug as she giggled, "sorry sorry. Hello to you too Eijiro-kun." As the three talked for a while longer, Namie turned to see All Might enter the room. Oh? What's this? She smiled slightly at Momiji's cute antics but when he mentioned a game, Namie lifted a brow. Hm, interesting. Her eyes shined slightly as she tugged on Denki's hand and happily seated herself between Denki and Eijiro. When Momiji explained the game, Namie's eyes shined even more. Oh, this boy was a clever one...she liked him. Hehe. She glanced over at Denki, wondering if it was possible to get him when they were right next to each other? Oh, should she move spots? But she was quite comfortable next to her boyfriend, hmmm decisions decisions~
