Fandom We Fight to Forge a {connection} | A MHA RP

As Tuesday came rather quickly, Shota hoped that Mela learned her lesson from yesterday. He was positive he taught her well enough the last time she's done this, but apparently, she forgot. Naughty girl. He shook his head, not wanting to think any more about it otherwise he would just get distracted. After the morning meeting, Shota headed over to class 3-A where he just greeted the class and recommended strongly to them that they shouldn't stick with just one partner but to be sure to switch it up every day. He gave a pointed look to Mela and Kurotsuki before heading off to the office until lunch. He can only hope Mela picks a girl, but from what she told him yesterday, she already had decided on someone. Shota let out an annoyed sigh and an even bigger sigh left his lips when he spotted Hizashi and Ayumi by his desk. Great...he just can't get a break, can he?

Once lunch time came, Shota was hoping to just relax with Mela, but apparently, his girlfriend had other plans. He was muttering under his breath as Hizashi dragged him off to eat along with Ayumi. Since when has it been the three of them to eat and hang out together? Wait, since when was he obligated to hang out with them, to begin with!? Shota wanted to run away, but he had no good reason at the moment. Though thankfully lunch ended quick and so the dark-haired pro-hero left the room and headed towards the class. As he expected, Mela picked Midoriya and Shota gave the green-haired boy a warning glare to which the young man had no clue why. Sighing, Shota dismissed the students and headed off to nap until the last half of class. He couldn't take a nap during lunch thanks to two loud people. Tch.

As the last half of class came around, Shota called forth the pairs, writing down their scores and then called forth the one that most were anxious about. Or well some were. Shota noted Mela to be giving him and All Might a pointed look. He let out a sigh as he can only nod his head silently. Yeah, he won't let it escalate too far this time around. It seemed like All Might has also learned that lesson for he was giving Mela a thumbs up with those annoyingly bright teeth shining. The fight between Ruka and Bakugou was...interesting to say the least though thankfully it seemed like the two were a bit more behaved so he and All Might did not have to stop them. Shota wondered why Ayumi was here again, but he wasn't about to point that out to the witch as he didn't want a broom to his head again. "Uede, Midoriya, you two are up next," Shota called out to them, glancing over at Mela he smirked at her as if silently cheering her on. Which he was.

She did not expect Shoto to come over to her house. Sure, she entertained that possibility, but Ruka was certain Shoto wasn't that impatient, guess she uh teased him a bit too much with her match against Mela. So Ruka spent the rest of her afternoon with Shoto and his lesson about how she really shouldn't go teasing him too much. She tried to resist, really she did! But in the end, it was futile. Ruka silently promised to herself that she will start that tomorrow, refusing to get intimate with Shoto, but a part of her was doubtful. Could she really resist that man? That...was very questionable. Ruka spent dinner just talking with Mela and the two discussed tomorrows matches to their respective boys and how effective their little show was. She quite enjoyed Shoto's reactions but she will have to tone it down since it seemed to bother him a bit too much.

~ Tuesday, it's gonna get H.O.T ~

Of all things, Ruka had to have a steamy dream of her boyfriend. She groaned when she woke up, feeling rather hot and needy. Pushing it down, Ruka headed to class and did her best to act normal as she greeted Shoto and others. During lunch, Ruka was fidgeting as she wanted a bit more with Shoto, but no! She told herself she will resist and keep a distance from Shoto starting today! She can't just go back on her own words. And the soft kisses that Shoto gave her when lunch ended definitely did not help as Ruka craved more. Shaking her head, she went to get changed into her hero outfit choice for the day which happened to be her angel-winged one since the choker can cover her neck plus she wanted to save her very first hero costume for when she goes against Shoto hehe. Once Ruka was changed, she knew that Katsuki would come storming over to her and she was right for as soon as everyone was allowed to pick their partner, the furious blonde stormed over to Ruka and grabbed her, leading her off to train. Ruka let out a sigh, yeah this was to be expected.

Training with Katsuki was explosive as she imagined, though to her surprise he used a lot more close combat which was both a good and bad thing. As the matches began, Ruka fidgeted some more as she still felt rather hot. Was she really acting horny of all times?! Really now!? Shaking her head, Ruka headed off to the stage when her name was called. Facing Katsuki, the two glared at each other, Ruka quite annoyed with his little name calling during practice as her hands lit aflame, ready to punch it into his face. Katsuki smirked as his own hands were bursting with small explosions as he tauntingly called out to her, "come on, show me how to fly angel." Ruka's eye twitched in annoyance as she created a large burst of black flames directed towards Katsuki only for him to jump up into the air using his quirk. With his explosions and Ruka's large flame, a screen of smoke blocked her from seeing where Katsuki was. She let out a sound when he landed on top of her, pushing down to the ground. Ouch. As her back hit the ground rather roughly, the two were seen scuffling a bit as one moment he was on top and next Ruka was. Dodging kicks and punches, Ruka jumped onto Katsuki's back, noticing it was quite broad, urgh pushing that thought aside, she smirked as she wrapped her hands on his neck, her hands slowly starting to burn up, "give up now and I'll let you go Bakatsuki." A growl was heard from the furious blonde who was not going to lose. A sudden explosion to her face made her move to the side, sliding off of Katsuki and hitting the ground as the smoke got into her eyes.

Squinting, Ruka tried to roll away only to get pinned by Katsuki by one hand. Really, guys were not fair! Struggling against his hold, Ruka glared up at him as she tried to not take notice of their close distance. It was really bothering her since all she wanted was to feel Shoto's body against her and Katsuki getting this close was just annoying. "L-let go stupid!" Ruka barked out, her knee going up to hit him in the stomach which only caused the blonde to lose his balance. Falling on top of Ruka, he let out a pained groan by her ear, literally next to her ear and the Pinkette's breath was knocked out of her and her eyes widened at the sudden warm gust blown at her ear. Before she can even think, her body reacted as the softest of a moan was heard from her lips. Eyes widening, Ruka kicked Katsuki up into the air, a blast of her flames knocking him out of the ring. Her chest was heaving as she stared wide-eyed over at the fallen Katsuki. "A-ah, are you okay?" Ruka called out to him as she helped him up before heading out the stage. That was...awkward.

Mela had to wonder watching Bakugo and Ruka...if Bakugo may have a crush on Ruka? Or something. There was something there wasn't it? They were both so aggressive, it had to mean something right? Mela looked to Shoto, feeling his annoyance. She took a small step away from him as she went back to looking at the arena. Ruka was doing so well but much to her annoyance, Bakugo seemed like he was keeping up with her. How had their training gone? She wondered if they had been working hard even then and this was them picking up where they had just left off. Seeing Ruka on her back with Bakugo on top of her, made her a bit flustered. What was that guy thinking?! Explosive perv!

She jumped when her name and Deku's was called. She caught Shota's smirk and gave him a sweet unassuming smile as she followed Deku to the stage. She had been working out more and she knew how to handle Deku after having watched him fight. Though throughout their training, she had noticed Deku had been holding back which annoyed her. Why were most of the guys scared to hit girls? It didn't make them bad. If anything, them being so shy made it worse. Sure, Deku's quirk was strength but he had to learn how to hit hard enough to knock her back but not hard enough to break her pretty face. "You better take this seriously." She muttered to Deku as she walked to the other end.

If he threw her out of the ring like so many others had, she would go ballistic and shoot everyone in the face with her arrows. The fight started off, with Mela on the offensive for a change. Deku had expected her to stay away from him due to his strength but she was doing the exact opposite and he clearly wasn't prepared for that. She aimed a few punches at him but he dodged them before he aimed a kick which Mela jumped away from. Why wasn't she using her arrows? Deku was very confused and already adjusted his power to no hurt her. He charged and aimed a punch at Mela who blocked it, quickly noticing it hardly made an impact. "Just hit me!" Mela growled.

Deku aimed another punch, trying to manage how much of his quirk to use before Mela grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground, planting a leg on his chest. This was probably how annoyed Ruka felt against Denki in their first sparring match. She took an arrow and pointed it at him point blank. "Unlike you, I'd be quite fine letting this fly." She glared as she then kicked him hard and fired her arrow, causing him to jump back and right out of the ring as she intended. Sighing, she shook her head and hopping down to help Deku up as they headed off with the others, Deku looking quite guilty. Well, Shota had to be happy at least? "You better do better than him!" She pointed to All Might. Though tomorrow, she'd set her sights on Todoroki. Oh yes.

Even though Shoto was confident in Ruka and Mela's simple assessment, he still didn't like the two fighting. Their quirks were very powerful and two powerful quirks coming together could be dangerous. He was mostly by the other teachers to ensure they did something in needed. He could feel Mela eyeing him as the fight progressed. He was impressed by Ruka's quick work in using Bakugo's body against him though when it came to the end of their fight, his whole body felt like it was consumed by flames. No, he wasn't upset. He was more annoyed at Bakugo for pinning Ruka down and then getting so close to her sensitive ears. Surely Bakugo didn't know about her weakness...

But it was very unsettling to have someone else touch her there. To him, it was very intimate and after Yukito did it, Shoto almost wanted to cover her ears in ice or something. He gave Ruka a smile at her conquest of Bakugo. Was that a second loss in a row for the boy? He hadn't known about the moan but he would put the blame on Bakugo for getting so close. He placed an arm around Ruka's waist as Bakugo went off to go sulk and fume while he and Ruka watched Mela and Deku fight though it was clear Deku still didn't feel comfortable going up against Uede or Uraraka. Shoto glanced to Ruka, remembering how upset she had been with Kaminari who hopefully learned not to pull punches.

He kissed the side of her head but he felt Ayumi glaring at him for some reason. When the match ended, he felt Mela giving him a look now. What did he do?! Shoto let out a sigh and when it was time to go, he walked with Ruka back to the locker rooms. "You did pretty well." He knew she would but it was always wonderful to see those black flames sparkle in the sunlight. "How about we go out to celebrate Bakugo's second loss?" He smirked a little. Yes, after seeing those two get a bit close, Shoto really wanted some alone time with his girl and he wasn't too sure if there was still some sex embargo he didn't yet know about. He hoped there wasn't or he'd have to persuade her otherwise.

Leaving to get changed, he got out of his hero costume and then back into his school uniform. Maybe they could go to the cafe and get something sweet for her? Stepping outside, he glanced to see Mela heading over to Ayumi, Aizawa and All Might. He smiled, good. She wouldn't be hanging off of Ruka today. Shoto waved Ruka over, still able to see Bakugo stomping around and yelling at Eijiro about how he could have won. Right. Looping an arm around Ruka's he kissed her nose. "So how about a little treat for your victory? Some strawberry short cake?" He suggested to her, smiling.

AiAi AiAi
 
Watching Mela enter the ring with Midoriya, Shota wasn't sure what to expect. He knew Mela would be quite upset if Midoriya used the same trick twice and try to throw her out the ring, so hopefully, the younger male was smart enough to not make the same mistake twice. He watched the match carefully, if he noticed Midoriya using his full strength, Shota would immediately cancel his quirk and kick his ass for even trying to hurt Mela. He didn't care what others may think and he certainly will take Mela's scolding to the face if it meant protecting her. That's just how much he cared for her. He may not really show it publicly like Todoroki does showering kisses on Kurotsuki, but he does care deeply for Mela. He just hoped Mela knew that too.

He noticed how Midoriya was cutting back on his hits quite a lot. Hm...he didn't go personally threatening him...so Shota couldn't help but wonder if All Might had a say in that, but judging from how the taller blonde hero seemed, Shota can assume that wasn't the case. He let out a small scoff as he knew that Midoriya just made a mistake and that would be the boy's downfall. And soon enough, Mela had an arrow pointed straight at him and the match came to an end when Midoriya ran out the ring. Shota smirked, Mela was more clever than people gave her credit for. That's one charming point of his lady he'd like to say. Once the matches were all concluded, Shota dismissed the class. He locked up the gym and was heading out to go and find Mela so that they can spend some time together.

He looked over to see Mela coming over to him. Good, at least he doesn't have to go searching for her. Shota lifted a silent brow in question to her while All Might seemed to want to say something to her as well. Hm? All Might gave her a thumbs up as he congratulated her, "good job today, Uede Shoujo! Your skill in pushing your opponent out of the ring was a brilliant idea!" Shota can only nod his head to that as he too thought it was a clever trick. He looked over at Mela, opening his mouth to tell her to come with him to the office to answer her questions, but of course, that was just a cover-up. Though before Shota can even speak to Mela, Ayumi cut him off.

He felt his eye twitch for a brief moment as he looked over at her in annoyance. What did she want now? He felt his eye twitch even more as a frown graced his lips as she grabbed hold of his arm and began to drag him off while talking about doing some paperwork. Wait...what?! "O-oi! Let go of me! What do you think you're doing?" This woman was beyond crazy! Shota would have said more if she didn't just hook him onto her broom using his scarf and just flying off. What.the.hell! He can only watch Mela as he flew off, his eyes telling her to save him because as much as he was tempted to just cancel her quirk, his position really didn't allow much for him since he'd be the first to fall if anything. Tch.

- - -

The match between Mela and Midoriya Shounen was a good one Toshinori will say, but even he noticed how Midoriya Shounen was holding back a lot of his strength during the match. It made Toshinori a bit upset as he knew better than anyone that no one should ever underestimate an opponent just based on gender. No, that would be a fatal mistake. He will probably have to have a talk with Midoriya Shounen about this unless there was more than just that reason behind the younger male's unwillingness to harm Mela? Did he...perhaps like Mela...!? No no no. That can't be it...right? Not wanting to fret and think about such a thing, Toshinori pushed aside his concerning thoughts as he instead focused on the fight. Soon Mela turned the tide as she cornered Midoriya Shounen and the only way out of that predicament was to jump and jump the boy did. Right out the ring. Toshinori must say he was impressed with her calculative skills. That was a very good thing to have especially during fights. If one was able to strategically think while fighting, it would be a great asset.

Once all the matches have ended, Toshinori left the gym alongside Aizawa-kun and Ayumi-san. The three were discussing the overall progress of each student when Mela came over. He gave her a smile, he nearly asked her about going to get the flower pot when he realized he was not Yagi at the moment and somehow Aizawa being there made it all the more hard to ask her about it. Instead, Toshinori congratulated her on her win and was about to take his leave when a very interesting scene happened. Toshinori watched in surprise as Ayumi-san suddenly began to drag Aizawa-kun away and the two left flying off to where the teachers' office was located. Toshinori blinked once then twice before turning to face Mela. He gave her a small smile as he let out a small laugh, "ahaha...those two are quite funny huh...well, it can't be helped that Aizawa-kun must help her out though. He was instructed by the Principal to show Ayumi-san around and so he is technically like her overseer in a sense I suppose." He wasn't sure why he was telling her all this, but somehow seeing Mela watch her boyfriend get dragged away must not be a fun sight for her. He gave her a reassuring pat on the head before heading out as he told her that he had important matters to attend to. Which would be meeting her at the front gates very soon.

Once out of sight, Toshinori changed from his muscle form to his normal lanky form, coughing slightly as he pulled out his phone. He sent Mela a quick text, letting her know that he will be waiting for her at the front gates. He can only hope she was fine. Somehow a part of him just wanted to hug Mela and tell her not to look. Tell her that it wasn't what it seemed like, but even he can see how Ayumi seemed quite fond of Aizawa-kun...for reasons beyond him. Shaking his head, Toshinori waited by the front gates, staring up at the blue sky. No no, he was probably just overthinking things. Mela wasn't sad or anything, so he shouldn't just go assuming such things. Bad Toshinori! As he was waiting, he looked over as he heard Mela's voice. Turning, he smiled over at the brunette as he waved to her.

As the two left the school and headed towards downtown, Toshinori spoke up, "so how was class today for you, Mela-chan?" He gave her a kind smile as he hoped to hear from her own perspective of how school was. As they got on the bus, it was quite cramped as there were many people on their way home from either work or school. Seeing no seats available, the two stood by the doors. As the bus ran over a bumpy road, Toshinori wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her to his chest so no one will go squishing her. Glancing down at her, he gave her a slightly concerned look as he asked her, "are you okay, Mela-chan?" Once the two got off on their stop, Toshinori was bright red in the face as he realized a bit too late about how close he was with Mela earlier in the bus. Not able to look her in the eyes, Toshinori led her to the flower shop that he always goes to for any plants or items that he would need. Gesturing to the various pots, Toshinori smiled over at her as he told her, "go ahead and pick out which one you like the most, I'll help you pick from there, okay?"

Heart hammering in her chest, Ruka's mind was a swirling mess of confusion as she helped Katsuki up after literally throwing him out of the stage with a gust of her flames. She did not mean to do that, but at that very moment, she panicked. Touching her ear slightly, Ruka headed up the stage to the platform with a grumbling Katsuki walking behind her. She could feel the glare on the back of her head and she was quite glad that Aizawa suggested as in that they should pick new partners every day. She knew otherwise, she'd be facing Katsuki again tomorrow. Walking over to where Shoto and Mela stood, Ruka can only give a small smile to the two as her mind was still fuzzy. Feeling Shoto's hand around her waist, Ruka relaxed against his touch, quite in need of his touch actually. It calmed her down immensely.

Watching Mela's fight against Izuku, Ruka frowned as she noted the boy to be not using his full strength at Mela. Now if Ruka was Mela, then she'd be pissed and she smirked as she saw Mela kick Izuku out the ring by making him get out of it himself. She was proud of her best friend for finding ways to get others to realize their mistake that they made on their own. Heh. Good girl~! Ruka walked over to Mela and congratulated her best friend, giving her a hug while exclaiming how she is just so smart and clever. She didn't notice the gleeful shine in Ayumi's eyes as the older woman watched the two girls hug. Nor did she feel the stares her boyfriend was receiving when he kissed her head.

Walking back to the locker rooms to get changed, Ruka glanced up at Shoto at the mention of Katsuki. Her heart jumped a little and she wondered why she was feeling so jumpy around Shoto? She gave him a smile as she nodded her head, "that sounds like a date to me~" Leaning up, she gave Shoto's cheek a quick peck before heading into the locker room to get changed back into her uniform. After a quick shower, Ruka was combing through her hair as she thought over her own jumpiness. Was it because of what happened with Katsuki during the fight? It was the smallest moan ever, but a moan nevertheless. It was a good thing that no one else really heard it, she was certain Mineta would be making a huge fuss about it otherwise. Though one thing for sure was that Katsuki noticed it. He paused for the briefest of moments and gave her the most confused look ever. Ruka felt her cheeks flush out of embarrassment.

That was when she panicked and she just kicked Katsuki away from her and using her quirk she blasted him away, quite literally so. It seemed the kicks have caused Katsuki pain and confusion, she was just thankful the blonde didn't comment about her little slip-up. Though she really didn't understand why she even did moan. Was it because he got her sensitive ears? Yeah, that was probably it, but Ruka knew it was also to blame on her ugh...sexual frustration as well. She let out a sigh as she was quite upset at herself for that. Sure with Mela it may be somewhat acceptable, but with a man other than Shoto? No, that was unforgivable. Ruka shook her head, planning on apologizing to Shoto and explaining it to him once she meets up with him again.

After getting changed, Ruka headed out to meet up with Shoto. Looking around, Ruka saw Mela head off towards the teachers and then she spotted Shoto waving at her. Smiling, Ruka walked over to where Shoto stood. Hearing Katsuki's booming voice, Ruka nearly flinched as she wondered if he was here to confront her about her questionable noise during their match. Though thankfully the explosive blonde was just yelling at Eijiro like always. Letting out a small giggle as he kissed her nose, Ruka looked up at him with happy eyes, "sure! That sounds like delicious! I mean great ehe." She rubbed the back of her head, she got a bit excited when he mentioned strawberry. Lacing their hands together, the two headed downtown to their usual cafe.

As they took a seat, Ruka stared across to Shoto, biting her lower lip. She had to tell him! She had to apologize to him! But...how to even bring it up...? Feeling him to be a bit too far from her, Ruka stood up and sat down next to him on the bench styled seat as she scooted closer to him. She smiled up at him a bit shyly as she wrapped her arm around his as she murmured out, "you were too far..." Feeling his warmth, Ruka closed her eyes smiling slightly. Yes, this was how things should be. After making their order, Ruka fiddled with her teacup. Ah, the guilt was eating away at her and she knew she wouldn't last much longer and on top of that, her head kept bringing up images of her and Shoto doing some more...rewarding activities. Feeling rather parched all of a sudden, Ruka licked her lips as she took a sip of her tea.

Unable to really concentrate nor listen to what Shoto was saying, Ruka spoke up. "U-um! Shoto...I..." what did she want to say? "I'm sorry!" Ruka said as she bowed her head. She stayed silent for a moment before explaining, "um I honestly don't know why but during my fight against Katsuki...I uh...well...at the last part right before I kicked him out the ring...um I kind of made a sound..." she stared down at the teacup, unable to meet his gaze but the more she explained, the more she needed him to believe her, "but really! It wasn't because I'm attracted to him or anything like that! It's just...my ear..." she held a hand up to her ear as she blushed slightly. She really hated her sensitive ears at times. Staring into his eyes, Ruka murmured out, "it may have been an accident, but I would still like to apologize to you...so I'm sorry Shoto." Should she explain to him her other problem on mind? But nooo! She was supposed to refrain from acting out on her sexual urges...urgh now she was the one asking for it.

As their orders arrived, Ruka ate her cake slowly as something else entirely different was now bothering her. She said she wanted to be closer to Shoto, but now it was becoming a bit of a distraction to her. From the way he sipped his tea to the way he ate his cake, she really wanted those lips on her instead. Licking her lips, Ruka leaned up and kissed him suddenly, her tongue swiping out to steal the bite of cake from his lips. Chewing on it, her eyes shined playfully as she smiled over at him, "that was yummy, which cake was it that you got again, Shoto?" Placing her hand on his thigh under the table, Ruka smiled up at him as she inched closer. Damn hormones! After giving his thigh a teasing soft massage, Ruka wrapped her arms around him, her chest pressed up against it as she smiled up at him, "Sho-kun~ Is anyone home at your place right now~?" His place would be a lot closer from here, but maybe they should just head over to her place? "There are a few problems that I need your help with." Yes, there was one big problem she needed his help with and only him. Leaning up, she whispered into his ear, her hot breath fanning his cheek, "I need you, Sho-kun~" her hot tongue lapped out to lick the shell of his ear before she pulled away to resume eating her cake. Ah, well that sort of helped her...sort of.

Genkai Genkai
 
Receiving such praise from All Might was always welcomed, even if there wasn't a whole lot of feedback to get when it came to her fight. Ruka's on the other hand had been a lot more cool and exciting to watch. There wasn't a whole lot she could have done with how nervous Midoriya seemed. She smiled to Shota, wondering if they could get something to eat or hang out but then she remembered her arrangements with Toshinori but it seemed Shota-kun had plans with Ayumi anyway...? Mela rose a silent brow as the pale teacher grabbed her boyfriend and walked off before taking to the sky to make sure he had no means to safe escape. Mela's face crumpled up but it wasn't exactly pure annoyance or heartache. Ayumi's perception of her and Shota made her question if the other teachers knew about her and Shota. DId they at least had some inkling?

Surely by now he must talk about her? But then again, he was quite private. Still it did bother her a bit but she decided it was just Shota's nature. But to have those close to him assume he was single...it made her wonder if he was ashamed or something. She glanced down, not feeling like she could compete with Ayumi-sensei who was so amazing but she heard All Might speak up, trying to explain why they were seemingly so close. "I see..." She sighed. Still, she could tell Ayumi liked Shota. And that she also was under the impression she and Ruka were a thing. Why were things suddenly so complicated? Her cheeks turned a slight red when she felt All Might pat her head before he excused himself, dashing off. There was this sinking feeling in her It wasn't just Ayumi, it was becoming a few little things but if she ignored them, they'd fix themselves right?

Getting a text from Yagi-san, she headed toward the gate, trying to think positive. There was nothing between Ayumi and Shota. And Shota and her were fine. They were soulmates so things would work out. She really cared for him and she didn't want to lose him. She waved to Toshinori as they headed to the bus, "Oh, class was um really good. It could have gone better but I'm really looking forward to our little project." She said, Midoriya's performance combined with Shota being kidnapped had left a bad taste in her mouth but she couldn't just complain to Toshinori, he didn't need to hear about her troubles. She didn't want to bother him with tedious, very minor things that she was sure would be okay in the end. They got on the bus though thanks to Mela's quirk she didn't have trouble staying upright but it was very cramped and space was limited.

So much so that she found herself being pulled into Toshinori's chest. Her face lit up as her eyes widened. Suddenly all of her worries flew right out the window as she let out a small squeak. Mela rested her hands on his waist as she gave him a quick silent nod when he asked if she was okay. She rested her forehead against him as she tried to tell herself she wasn't nervous and this was not complicating things any further. But it was. Oh boy. Getting off the bus, she sighed deeply, her blush fading away. That was very interesting. She tried to think of Shota to calm her nerves. Yes, Shota-kun and that sexy smile of his. Somehow it made her less nervous as she walked into the shop with Toshinori to figure out what pot to use. Though she had done a bit of reading, it seemed it would take several months to see progress.

If only they knew someone who had a plant quirk. But it meant she could spend more time with the cute blonde so she wasn't really complaining. Her eyes scanned the shelves of colored pots, all varying sizes and depths. She tried to think what would look good with the yellow and brown colors. Maybe a bright blue. She glanced over to Toshinori, deciding to get one similar to the color of his eyes. "I like this one!" She finally figured it out after a few minutes of consideration. When they got their supplies, Mela insisted she pay since it was still a birthday present before they headed to his apartment. "Say um..." She was about to ask Toshinori if he had heard Shota say anything about her to anyone but decided against it, already knowing the answer. Shoto didn't seem to tell Ayui, why would he tell Toshinori? Somehow she felt like Shota's secret or something. Was it too much to ask for her soulmate to declare his feelings for her? "Nevermind! Maybe after this we could get a snack?" She looked to him, smiling. Unless he had something at his place but she didn't want to just eat his food. That wouldn't be very good manners for a guest. "Or maybe I could make some cookies for us." It only took a few basic things which he may have. She had to wonder though, what was Shota up to? Was he okay?

- - -

It was a relief to have the afternoon to decompose and enjoy the warm day though there was a bit of a chilly breeze that blew through the streets. Shoto walked along with Ruka, keeping her close to his side. Though he couldn't help but notice there was something different about her. She seemed a bit jumpy or jittery. His mind had already forgotten about the whole ear thing, not thinking too much more about it. He wanted to respect Ruka's, albeit silly, idea for them to wait until Friday. As much as he wanted to drag them into some alleyway and have a sweet treat of his own, he wanted them to enjoy a day out without her feeling like he just couldn't keep his hands off of her heh. As they sat down, Shoto told himself to just keep a clear mind and to be a good boyfriend. Yes, he would talk about their day and how their fights had gone.

Shoto picked up the menu, only noticing two changes this time. He saw apples were coming onto the menu which had to do with the changing of the seasons. Before he could figure out if he wanted to eat something or just have tea, he felt someone brush up against him. He looked up and saw Ruka was no longer in front of him but next to him. He stared at her, wondering what had gotten into her lately. She wa behaving like a very cute cat today. Not that he was complaining or anything, he was just a bit worried if she was feeling okay. He quite liked being able to look at her and hold her hand across the table but having her against him was just as nice. "I never want you to feel like I'm out of reach." He smiled to her. No, Shoto wanted them to be close and if this was what she needed after her fight with Bakugo, he was more than happy to oblige.

It did seem like she was hiding something but he wasn't going to press the issue, not wanting to pry. If it was important, he had to trust Ruka would tell him. If he could help or fix an issue, he would. But if she just needed him to listen, he could do that too. He ordered a simple cup of tea and a slice of lemon cake. Their drinks arrived and he took a sip a he began to mention how his mother was hoping to see them again soon but it seemed like Ruka had something else on her mind. She suddenly burst out in an apology, making him flunch. What was she talking about? Was she okay!? Shoto listened to her explain what happened. It was very odd but to him, she had nothing to apologize for. "Ruka, it's sweet you feel a need to explain yourself but it sounds like an involuntary reaction. I'm not mad." He said calmly, eyes locked with her, his expresion gentle.

"Really, I'm glad you felt the need to tell me." If he heard it from Bakugo, he would have likely reacted much differently to the hot head but with Ruka telling him, it was clear she didn't want to hide anything from him and it meant nothing. "But it's okay. I know you didn't mean to do it and he didn't mean to make you." He said, rubbing her arms slightly. He kissed her lightly, not letting his thoughts get too carried away. She told him they were waiting so he'd have to wait. "I love you, that's never going to change." He said softly as their food arrived. He began to eat, hoping she would put this fight behind her and enjoy her victory. A win was a win right? As he paused in his eating, Ruka lunged out and licked his lips, giving him a kiss, her hand on his thigh. He froze. What was she doing? His face turned red as he felt a flutter in his chest. God he wanted her.

But she said she wanted to wait? He was so confused. These mixed signals were telling him she could just be teasing him again like yesterday. He really didn't like that. Her hand rubbed him before her arms were thrown around his neck. He still wasn't sure if this was some kind of trap. Ruka seemed adamant about Friday being their day. He wanted to respect that but feeling her against him was causing his urges to stir up inside of him. He held back a moan as she asked if anyone was at his place. She then said she wanted him. Oh. Well that was a very clear signal then. Yes. They should go! But he hoped she didn't change her mind. Of course she was within her rights and he'd respect that but just hearing her say she wanted him, made him want her even more. He finished his cake and tea in a few bites and gulps before he left a few yen on the table and got up. "My place should be free." He said, praying that it was. Shoto grabbed her hand and headed back quickly, the bus ride not taking too long. Once at his place, he closed the door and kicked off his shoes before going back to his room, kissing her neck and face as they went. "What happened to waiting?" He couldn't help but ask her as he opened his bedroom door and found himself being pulled in after she entered. Shoto pulled her close to him as he kissed her deeply, his sexual energy sparking his own. His hands already pushing off her blazer, letting it fall to the floor.

Once her extraction was complete, Ayumi set Shota down in front of the building as she pushed him inside. She genuinely didn't think there was anything sexual, much less romantic going on between Aizawa and Uede. The vibes and aura she got from them was that there was some kind of indifference or something. But it wasn't love! But when she looked to Kurotsuki and Uede, she felt so much unbridled love and kindness between them. Now that was love! It was unashamed and on display for the world to bask in! Though she couldn't help but note there was something between Todoroki and Kurotsuki but it wasn't as obvious as her love for Uede. There may be love between Todoroki and Kurotsuki but it wasn't nearly as strong as Uede and Kurotsuki. Yes, that's what she thought. If she knew Uede and Aizawa were actually together, she would have to do some serious apologizing. But they seemed so opposite and not at all affectionate, not to mention Aizawa had never said they were even a thing, she had no reason to believe such a possibility existed. Now Uede and All Might? Yes there may be something there.

Her musings of love were interrupted as they got up to their lounge to do some work. "I think the kids are improving quite steadily." She commented as she took a seat at her desk next to Shota's. She noted his mess papers. No picture of a supposed significant other. Not even of M-chan. Boy, he was very reserved. So uptight. He needed to get laid for sure and she'd be happy to help there if he wanted. "I guess despite your harsh methods, you're doing a great job." She smiled to him. It was obvious he cared for his students and how they'd become heroes in the real world. It was very admirable. "I think underneath it all, you're a total softie." Ayumi winked at him as she looked down at her own papers she had to finish grading. Opening her drawer, she pulled out some chilled cans of lemonade and handed him one. "Here." She smiled. "Sorry for just dragging you off but Principal Nezu insisted I do whatever I could to make sure you caught up on your paperwork as you seem to have a habit of taking off after school." She gave him a slightly apologetic look as she opened her can and took a drink. Not too bitter or too sweet. Perfect~

AiAi AiAi
 
Watching Mela walk around to pick out a pot for them to use, Toshinori thought back to Aizawa and Ayumi. He frowned slightly, wondering if there was actually something going on between them? But surely, Aizawa-kun wasn't interested in Ayumi, right? Well, from how annoyed the dark-haired pro-hero appeared, Toshinori can safely assume that was the case, but he never really did hear him profess about seeing Mela as well. If he was in Aizawa's position, what would he do...? He probably wouldn't be able to keep it a secret, but if word got out that All Might has a lover, a student of his on top of that, well he wasn't sure how the public would react to that. Ah, being the top hero really was hard. Lost in his thoughts, Toshinori barely heard Mela picking out a pot until the said pot was shoved into his face. He snapped out of it and nodded his head approvingly, "Oh, that's a really nice one! Let's get that then!" As much as he wanted to pay for everything, Mela insisted and he wasn't about to fight with her over something small as paying for things.

Once back at his place, Toshinori placed everything they would be working on in the back patio before he came back inside. He looked over at Mela as he thought over what he had at his place for snacks, "well, we can go buy something to eat, but you know. I do love your baking hehe." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as he told her that. After the decision of Mela baking cookies for them with Toshinori helping her out where he can, he couldn't help but ask her, "Mela-chan, is everything okay?" He paused, wanting to see her reaction to it. He could tell seeing Aizawa and Ayumi bothered her and he hoped that he can help her even if it was just to listen to her. "I-I don't know what may be bothering you, but if it helps...I am always here to listen to you." He gave her a soft smile, hoping to just comfort her. It pains him to know that Aizawa could be causing Mela pain. But that also meant she held Aizawa close and was someone of much importance to her. There probably was no room for him on her mind huh. Ignoring the painful stabbing in his chest, he instead reached out and patted her head gently.

- - -

Ruka was relieved to know that Shoto wasn't mad at her or anything. She honestly didn't mean to, but even just her body reacting to the touch of another man bothered her. She didn't like that thought at all. Even with Mela, Ruka felt nothing when the two exchanged kisses if anything it was more of an affectionate cuddle between two friends who were basically like siblings to each other. So after explaining everything to Shoto, she expected him to be mad or upset or something! But for him to be happy that she told him and then tell her that he loved her. Well, Ruka was happy and relieved. But then the next problem was her uh urges. She really hated her body for this.

Glad to know Shoto's place was free at the moment. Good. She watched him finish his tea and cake up in record time, Ruka blinking as she also did her best to finish her side up as quickly as possible too. Once they were finished and paid, they quickly left for his place. As they entered his house, it was silent, a good sign for Ruka meaning his dad wasn't around. A satisfied sigh left her lips as he kissed along her neck and face, showering her with gentle kisses. As they arrived at his bedroom, she opened it and dragged him inside. Once the two parted from their kiss, with Ruka helping him to take his own blazer up, she leaned up and kissed along his neck and jawline as she spoke up, "this whole day I've been wanting you and I tried to resist...but I couldn't." And thanks to her pent-up needs, she felt herself reacting more to anything and that bothered her. Screw it to waiting, it can start tomorrow...right? Pulling Shoto to his bed, Ruka stared into his eyes as she smirked, "what? You don't want me~?"

- - -

Why did life hate him? Shota felt very annoyed. He wanted to hang out with Mela and just relax, but no! Things have not been going his way since Ayumi's arrival and it bothered him. Does that mean he has to dispose of her somehow? No, that wasn't what a hero should do, but he was still very much annoyed argh. He snapped out of his thoughts when Ayumi spoke up about his students. He glanced over at her briefly as he simply let out a scoff, "harsh methods? Since when do us teachers ever go soft on them? Going soft on them will only give them false hope. If they can't overcome this little obstacle, then they won't make it in the real world." Yes, that was all to it, so can she stop calling him a softie and whatnot? He stared down at the can of lemonade, sighing as he took it as it would just be rude if he refused.

Taking a sip, Shota listened to her explanation for suddenly dragging him out to here and it all made sense. Principal Nezu! Shota was positive the small white mouse had something against him. But what has he done!? Grumbling under his breath, Shota decided to just finish up his paperwork so he can go and see Mela after. He wanted to just tell Ayumi that Mela was not with Ruka and that she was clearly with him, but would she even believe that? Holding back a sigh, Shota decided that silence would be the best option as he didn't want to go out of his way to make small talk with the brunette beside him. Pulling out his phone, Shota texted Mela that he'll see her later once he was done with his paperwork. Stupid job and stupid witch. Everyone was seriously getting in his way lately.

Mela couldn't help but wonder if she had someone like Toshinori as a boyfriend, he probably wouldn't be as reserved right? Heck, Mela was surprised at how affectionate Todoroki was around Ruka. But then again, it was Ruka. She was pretty special. If Todoroki indicated he wasn't going to shower her with affection, Mela would happily spoil her in his place. Mela was quite happy to bake for them, as it took her mind off of certain what if situations which were driving her crazy. Hideo had also been one to hide the fact they were together but Shota wasn't like Hideo in the slightest but was this a pattern or just the issue of dating a pro hero? Mela wasn't sure but it bothered her. At Toshinori's question, she snapped out of her thoughts as she realized she must have been eyeing the dough a bit sadly. "Ah um..." Was everything okay?

Should she really burden Toshinori with her worrying? Surely this was just her overthinking things. This would all blow over. She cared about Shota and he cared for her too. Maybe she was just wanting too much. But why did her heart ache a little? She and Shota were soulmates, things would work themselves out. "Thank you." She sighed, putting her own hand atop the one on her head. "I'm just..." She was making a big deal out of nothing right? Yeah, she was being silly. "I'm just being silly, it's nothing...but thank you, Toshinori-san." She had to believe maybe the dance this weekend would smooth things over. But then again...would Shota even want to dance with her in front of everyone? She was now back to worrying again. he hadn't mentioned the dance yet. Hm. She went back to putting their batch of cookies in the oven before she joined him out on the patio.

"Actually I'm...not so sure about Shota-kun and myself. I mean it's probably nothing. But...I could just be expecting too much. Should I be worried that he doesn't really tell people he's in a relationship with me? I understand his need to be discrete but...it's becoming hard not to take it a little personally. But maybe that's just what happens when you're dating a teacher and a pro hero..." Could he be protecting his image? Surely this wasn't about protecting her. But her last boyfriend was also a bit low key. "There's not...something wrong with me is there?" She slouched her shoulders, yes she felt very silly dumping this all on Yagi-san. She didn't want him to worry about her. "I just worry and then seeing him with Ayumi-sensei, he may not like her but I think she likes him. And she assumes he's single but...has he said he's not?"

- - -

Shoto did want her. He really did. He was just a bit confused as to how her mind was working right now. She wanted to wait but now she didn't? Was she sure? Was this a test or something? Shoto didn't know and made a face at her question. How could she ask such a thing? Were his kisses not convincing enough to her? The boy did want her. And if he had to prove it, he would do so. He smirked as she sat down on his bed. The boy pulled her own blazer off and then undid her red tie before undoing his own. Maybe these could come into use soon? "I'm just a bit confused as to why you keep changing your mind, my pet." He said. Women were so confusing. He would never understand them. Maybe it was time he went back to the library for some more helpful reading? Shoto pushed her down onto the bed as his fingers tugged her shirt from out of her skirt. He moved so his legs were now on either side of her.

His hands undid his own buttons as he slid his shirt off and looked down at her. This little tease of his. He was trying to be good but he was always pulled back to the sneaky side of things. He leaned down and kissed her deeply as his hands slowly undid her own buttons. His hips pressed into her as broke the kiss to study her face. She looked very needy. How sexy. Shoto then got up and went back to check the door. It was locked. But he could see his father burning it down if he didn't get an answer. Urgh. Shoto wanted his own place like Ruka. No one would bother them there!! But for now he was going to enjoy what time he had with his insatiable Queen. Turning back to Ruka, he smirked to her. Oh he was ready to pounce and make sure those cute little ears of hers only felt his touch.

Walking back toward her, taking his time heh, he stretched his arms above his head. His muscled flexed and glowed in the soft daylight glow. And he was well aware what him being shirtless did to her. Sure, she said she could resist him but could she? Really? It pleased him greatly to know that he wouldn't have to wait very long to enjoy the sweetness of his girlfriend. He moved over to the bed and laid back on top of her, taking her hands and kissing them all over before he placed them on his abs, also well aware of how much she enjoyed his toned abs. His own hands picked her up and pushed her further back on the bed. No, she wasn't going anywhere. Not anytime soon. "See what happens when you try to resist certain urges? They just come back all the more strong." Shoto teased, his voice low and husky as he kissed her ear, nibbling on it. "My Ruka." He moaned.

She was sure under his layers of crap, he was a good person. He was a hero after all. Heroes wanted to help people. She nodded along with his words, getting the inkling he wanted her to shut up but he wouldn't say it. He was no fun! Ayumi took a sip of her drink, her own pile of paperwork wasn't as monstrous as Aizawa's. Ha ha. She finished grading some essays but kept looking to Aizawa. She really did seem to annoy him so easily. On one hand it was fun but on the other, she hoped he knew she was just playing around. If she didn't like him, she wouldn't take time out of her day to bug him. Plus her investment in Uede and Kurotsuki was because she wanted those girls to be happy. If she knew Aizawa made one of them happy, she'd try to be supportive. But she'd probably be curious and a bit jealous.

She finished her can and tossed it before she got up and headed over to the window. She noticed how lovely the grounds looked. It made her think og home. She glanced back over to Aizawa who looked rather annoyed at each paper that crossed his desk. She walked over and paced around him, her hands locked behind her back. "I don't mind finishing those for you if you want to duck out early." He didn't have anyone to meet up with surely but she knew he'd probably want to go off and nap somewhere or play with that cat of his. Ayumi didn't know why Nezu wanted her to take an interest in the dark haired pro hero but she was going to to do her best to look after him, just like Nezu told her to do! She pressed her lips together, knowing her offer would probably be shut down. But she didn't mind helping in some way.

"You know, I do hope you find someone who makes you happy." He seemed so grumpy all the time. Even Aizawa deserved to find someone. While the whole soulmate thing was stupid to her, she had to imagine Shota's soulmate was out there, napping somewhere in some corner of the globe. Ayumi sat down and rummaged through her own leather messenger bag and dug out a cute cat cookie she had bought yesterday. "Here." She handed it to him before she got up. If he didn't want her help, he could at least make sure he ate something while he worked. Heading for the door, she grabbed her broom and banged it against the wall. "Don't work too hard, Aizawa~" If he did, he'd miss the life happening all around him. And it was so magical~

Deep blue hues stared down at Mela with concern. He didn't want her to look so sad. He watched her struggle with finding the right words to say or maybe she was trying to figure out if she should even confide in him? He gave her a soft smile, it was her choice whether she wanted to tell him or not, but he hoped that she has someone to talk to about all her problems. It doesn't have to be Aizawa per say, even Kurotsuki Shoujo would work, but it all depends on her. As Mela finally told him that she was fine, Toshinori just gave her a nod as he told her, "I'll be setting everything up in the patio." He'll let her come if she wants. As he sat down and began to lay out everything for them to use, he turned to see Mela coming over. Scooting aside, he let her speak as he listened to her tell him everything that was bothering her, Toshinori looked concerned.

It hurt him greatly to know that Aizawa was the cause of all her worries. He was her boyfriend, he shouldn't let her be worried about the relationship! He had half the mind to go over and tell Aizawa to get his act straight, but he also knew how Aizawa worked. Seeing her begin to blame herself, Toshinori couldn't hold back as he reached out and hugged her, pulling her close to his side. Rubbing her back soothingly, he spoke up, "please don't go blaming yourself Mela-chan." He paused as he just held her close, rubbing her back. "Aizawa-kun is a very private person. I mean, even to this day, no one knows what his favorite food is or what his favorite color is and all those things. And he doesn't see the need to go telling others things as well. He's just that type of person, but I'm sure around you, he's different, right?" Pulling back, he gave her a soft smile. Despite it hurting for him to tell Mela these things and reassure her. He much rather see her happy and if Aizawa made her happy, then he will help in any way possible.

Ignoring the pain in his chest, Toshinori stood up and told her, "anyway! The best way to get things off your mind is to move your body! So let's start planting, shall we?" He gave her a thumbs up before guiding her in how to fill the pot with soil and to make sure to break the soil up into small pieces. Then they made a small hole and placed a couple of seeds in there. Once everything was covered and watered, Toshinori placed it by the edge of the patio as he told her, "with this, the plant can grow and we can watch it grow too." He gave Mela a smile and for the rest of their time together, they ate cookies and just talked with each other. Once Mela went home, Toshinori laid down on his couch, sighing as he muttered out, "what am I doing...?" He was clearly not over Mela and he can't see it happening anytime soon...if anything her issue with Aizawa lit a flame of hope inside of him. Something he was disgusted for. What sort of person was he to hope that they break up? That was just wrong.

- - -

Ruka will admit her defeat just this time. She couldn't resist her boyfriend for very long and she learned this the hard way. And who else to blame but herself. After thoroughly enjoying her Shoto and making sure he knew that she wanted him very much so, the two just laid cuddling together in his bed, basking in each other's afterglow. Ruka nuzzled her head into the crook of his neck as her finger lazily drew circles on his chest, "mmm I told myself I'll resist, but I really can't." She pouted up at Shoto as she leaned up and nipped his nose, "you're just too irresistible! What will I ever do with you?" Her eyes were lit with amusement as she gave him a soft kiss. Sitting up, Ruka stretched her arms as she looked at the time. Oh, it's almost dinner time huh.

Glancing over at Shoto, Ruka smiled as she crawled back to her lover's side and kissed him once more. "Are you hungry, Shoto?" As an afterthought, Ruka added, "I'm talking about dinner by the way." She gave him a teasing smile before turning around to gather her clothes, slowly putting them back on. She took a step away from the bed so that Shoto can't drag her back in as she told him while tying her hair up into a ponytail, "let me cook you dinner~ It's the least I can do." She gave him a sweet smile before heading off to the kitchen. Looking through the fridge, Ruka decided on making some traditional styled Japanese dinner with the main being grilled salmon, side dishes of hiyayako, edamame, some stewed veggies and then some cold soba for Shoto and of course some rice.

While Ruka was cooking, she enjoyed her Shoto very much so, but he was a distraction more than a help currently. She giggled as his hair tickled the back of her neck. Turning around, Ruka poked his nose as she told him, "mou, Sho-kun~ I can't finish dinner if you keep hugging on to me~" Ruka let out another laugh before turning around to finish cutting up the tofu. Just then, the door opened and a booming voice echoed in the house as Enji apparently has arrived home. "Shoto!? Are you home?" Ruka blinked a few times as she wiggled out of Shoto's grasp and turned to greet Enji as he came walking into the kitchen. Ruka greeted the older Todoroki, "ah, good evening Todoroki-san, I hope you don't mind me using your kitchen." She gave him a small smile as she lightly nudged Shoto to say something too.

- - -

He was now positive that Nezu had something against him. Some sort of personal grudge or what? Surely he didn't do something that bad during his teaching career here...right? As Shoto focused on the paperwork, trying to no scowl with each new paper placed in front of him, he continued to work in silence. He had nothing to say to Ayumi and honestly he was blaming her for getting in his way of seeing Mela. She's been doing that a lot lately and Shota hoped Mela didn't get the wrong message or anything like that. Maybe he should just tell Hizashi to ask Ayumi out? It'll be doing both a huge favor. Hizashi can get a girl while Shota can get some peace and Mela. That sounded perfect for him.

He was so lost in his thoughts of how to get Ayumi off his back when she spoke up to him, he didn't hear her at first. Huh? When he finally tuned into what she was saying, Shota's eyes narrowed. Hah? Does she really think he's single or something? Did he not tell her that he was already taken? He tried to think back to if he ever told her that before. But hearing her wish for his happiness was a bit...strange. Shota didn't really believe her kind words as it somehow was the opposite of her personality. Yeah, she's so far given him a bad impression and so he didn't hold her that highly in regards at the moment. She'll have to work hard to prove him wrong that she isn't some violent, cold-hearted witch. Glancing at the cookie she handed him, Shota opened his mouth to tell her that he didn't want it, but she was already gone by then. A large sigh was heard as he placed the cookie in his desk drawer before finishing up the papers. He decided to go and see Mela once he was done.

Stretching, Shota left U.A as he finally finished all the paperwork and if he was to somehow magically get a whole new stack of work tomorrow...he was certain, hundred percent positive that Nezu held something against him. Cracking his neck, Shota wondered if Mela ate yet or was Kurotsuki cooking for her again? Not really sure, he decided to buy some cheese pizza and some pasta for her on the way to her place along with a slice of black forest cake for her. He decided he should ask her to the dance now before someone else tries to get in his way. He will literally cancel Kurotsuki's quirk and throw her out Mela's apartment if the Pinkette was there. Shota's patience has run thin by now. As he leaned against the door to Mela's place, finding both her and Kurotsuki to not be home. He decided to wait until Mela came back. Hearing a sound, he opened his eyes to see Mela. "Ah, hey." He stood up, walking over to her, Shota wrapped his arm around her, lifting her up to kiss her on the lips. Holding her up with one of his arms, the other he grabbed the bags as he told Mela to open the door for him. He explained himself as he let them in, "I thought you might be hungry."

Her mind froze for a moment as she was pulled into Toshinori's arms, though this time it was a bit more intentional. She blushed but found the gesture to be quite comforting. She wrapped her arms around him lightly as she listened to him explain a bit about Shota-kun. His favorite food and color? Erm...she had to know that. Yeah, she just needed to think about it eheh. But still, he was right, Shota was just very private and closed off. She was lucky he opened up to her, if no one else. She wasn't about to try and change Shota or make him do things he wasn't comfortable with. He was respecting her issues and she needed to do the same and accept he wasn't much of a sharer. Mela was kind of an over-sharer, feed her some candy and she'd babble on for an hour about her deepest darkest secrets. But Shota? Not likely. Sighing, she smiled to him. "You're right. I'm worrying over nothing." She nodded slowly. "Thanks, I think I needed to hear that from someone else."

Grateful for the change in subject, Mela listened as he talked about how to best plant seeds and even deal with the distribution of the soil. She nodded, hoping there wasn't a quiz of some sort. Once they planted it and set it aside to collect sunlight, she smiled, quite excited to see its progress. It was such a cute idea too, Mela knew she'd probably have to come by once or twice a week to help, she didn't want it falling to Toshinori's shoulders. After eating some cookies and chatting about this week's agenda, as well as the dance coming up, Mela decided it was time to go. She waved to Toshinori before she headed off to go home, feeling a bit better, though a bit mentally drained. Guys may not admit it, but they could be really complicated. Almost as complicated as girls.

Arriving to her apartment, she looked up to see someone there. Yukito-kun!? Oh! Shota-kun! What a surprise! Mela smiled, wondering if his ears had been burning earlier heh. "Shota-kun?" She blinked, approaching him. How long had he been waiting? "Is everything okay?" She wondered aloud. They hadn't made plans today, had they? Being lifted up, she kissed him back with a small noise of happiness before she fished out her key and unlocked the door, him still carrying her inside. "Of course I'm hungry, it's been like 30 minutes since I last ate." She laughed. Cookies were dinner right? Of course. "I hope you weren't waiting too long. I had to meet a friend." She said, for some reason, not wanting to disclose it had been Yagi-san and she had been looking for relationship advice. But his words did give her reassurance and clarity on the issue. Shota was Shota. She would support him, no matter what he chose to disclose to those around him. "I smell pizza~" Mela helped get some plates down for them so they could settle on the couch and relax. "So what did Ayumi-sensei want with you? Did she put a curse on you?" She teased.

- - -

Laying in bed with his beloved, things felt very...right with the world. To him, nothing could go wrong. He had his woman and that was all a man really needed. He kissed her shoulder, leaning over as she rested in his arms, her fingers creating invisible designs against his slightly sweaty chest. Today had gone well. He had already forgotten about the whole thing with Bakugo. He had to hope that maybe Ruka would change her mind about waiting to be his partner though. He really did want to see who was stronger this time, a real fight. He knew her sexy tricks by now and he wouldn't lose the same way twice! "You better not try to resist or you'll be sorry, my love." Shoto teased her. Maybe it was time to not put sex embargos on each other. Yes, he didn't like knowing he couldn't touch or tease his love and she may feign interest. No that wasn't fun!

Smirking at her playful touch, he watched her sit up and stretch. Already he was missing her body heat. He let out a gentle whine as he pulled her back to him. He kissed her lazily, his hands rubbing her sides, wanting to just stay like this a bit longer. Did they really have to move? And who needed to eat when they could dine on one another? "Am I hungry?" He repeated faintly, a sly smirk crossing his lips before Ruka clarified herself. Oh. Real food? He sat up and frowned as he watched her dress. It was quite fascinating to watch a woman get dressed. So much went into it, bra, shirt, panties, so much. He loved watching her, knowing he'd get to undo it all in due time. "Are you sure, babe?" He felt bad his girlfriend came over to please him and then feed him. Shouldn't he be the one spoiling his Queen? Of course he loved her cooking but it seemed a bit in poor taste, as a gentleman to have Ruka do so much for him. He was too lucky.

Getting up he got dressed in his pants and his collared shirt but left the buttons undone as he went out with her to help. Or distract her. Whichever seemed easiest in the moment heh. Coming up behind her, he nuzzled her neck with his hair like an affectionate kitten. Maybe he could have a taste of her while she tried cooking? Maybe if she wasn't holding a knife and couldn't have an accident. Before he could get too into the idea of that, a voice caused him to jump. "Shit." He quickly buttoned his shirt as he realized the crime rate was far too low for their city, preventing him from having a real dinner with his girlfriend. Just great. Shoto scowled as his father entered the kitchen. "Hey." He just said, rubbing his neck. "Ruka-chan is going to cook for us." He said flatly, wishing his father was anywhere but here. "Oh she needn't do that!" Enji laughed. "She offered." Shoto smiled a little, not wanting his father to try cooking tonight. "Well thank you!" Enji declared. "My boy is lucky to have you in his life!" "Yes...I am." Now that, Shoto could actually agree with his father. "Anything I can do?" Enji offered, hopeful.

AiAi AiAi
 
Shota eyed Mela as she asked if he was fine. Was he fine? No, he was dying. He nearly suffered from a metal broom as he was forced to do paperwork. How torturous did that sound like? Okay, so maybe he was exaggerating things a bit too much, but hey can anyone blame the guy? All he wanted to do was spend some time with his lovely girlfriend and everyone in the world just wanted him not to. It was frustrating. Really it was. Walking inside, he kicked his shoes off as he settled Mela on the counter as he placed the various foods down onto the table. At her words, Shota let out a small scoff as he could easily guess what she ate, "sweets aren't considered dinner, Mela." He gave her an amused smirk, leaning over to nip her nose as he let her grab the plates for the food.

He placed the cake inside the fridge for now as he walked over to the couch and settled down next to her. Wrapping an arm around Mela, he pulled her to sit between his legs as he kept one arm around her while the other reached for a slice of pizza. He had to wonder who it was that Mela went to meet with since it was clearly not Kurotsuki. He already checked the Pinkette's place after contemplating for a long while whether it was worth ringing the doorbell or not. But no angry black flames came bursting out the door so he had to assume she wasn't home. And he didn't see Kurotsuki anywhere near when Mela came back. A part of him wanted to ask her who that friend was, but he found no need to. It wasn't his business, well it sort of was, but he didn't want to appear as some possessive boyfriend or something like that. If there was a friend she wanted to hang out with, then she was more than free to do so. He wasn't going to stop her.

Taking a bite of the pizza, Shota answered her question, "ah, apparently Principal Nezu said I've been slacking off and to make sure that I do my work." He let out a scoff as that was complete bull. He did do his work, its just somehow miraculously by the end of the day, there was a large stack, probably at least three times more than his usual load of work, waiting neatly on his desk. He was positive Nezu had something to do with that. Letting out a sigh, Shota nuzzled his face into the back of her neck as he kissed the skin softly. He moved over to kiss and nibble on her ear as he mumbled out, "I missed you..." he blew a hot air into her ear as he nuzzled against her. Ah, this was what he wanted. Just some relaxing time with his Mela.

- - -

Ruka looked between the two Todoroki's as they conversed. She kept a smile on her face, hoping things will end alright and thankfully it did. Ruka waved her hands in the air as she told Enji, "oh no, please just relax and take a seat! I'm actually finishing up." She didn't want him to have to go out of his way to help. As much as Shoto may not like Enji, to Ruka she had respect for the older man since he was still Shoto's father and nothing can change that. Blood ties are strong no matter what. And at least the hero was trying to amend for his mistakes as he tried to reconnect with his son as of late. Ruka will give him that much for even trying. It took a lot of courage to do that in her opinion.

Turning around, Ruka finished up dinner as she placed the various side dishes into small plates and with Shoto's help she placed it all onto the dining table. Taking a seat next to Shoto and across from Enji, Ruka gave him a small smile as she said, "um well please enjoy and I do hope it is to your liking." She handed Shoto the plate of cold soba as she told him with a smile, "here, I know you like these the most hehe." She made them especially for him~ One day she'll have to try her hand at making the noodles out of scratch. It would surely be a fun and new thing to try out.

As they began to eat, Enji was asking the two of how school is and Ruka simply explained that they have been practicing a lot of combat with other students. Enji nodded his head as he stated, "I see, well knowing you two, you must be winning, right? I should come over and spectate one of these days hahaha!" Ruka can only strain a smile as she knew Shoto would not like that at all. Ahaha...ha. She glanced sideways at Shoto, wondering how he was faring so far. After dinner, Ruka was about to clean up the dishes when Enji kicked the two out as he said that the least he can do is clean the dishes. Ruka bowed in thanks to the older man before heading off with Shoto to his room or so she thought until she found herself with him in the backyard once more. Sitting on the bench next to him, Ruka leaned her head against his shoulder as she looked up at the night sky, "so how did you like dinner?" She smiled over at him as she teasingly asked him, "did you need dessert too?" Though an actual dessert of maybe ice cream did sound quite nice right now.

Genkai Genkai
 
Mela gave a whine at his comment. He knew her too well. It wouldn't surprise him to know during most days when she did her gymnastics, ice skating, dance or archery competitions or exhibitions, her breakfast was often a handful of gummy bears and a can of soda along with a cookie or donut. Heh. The breakfast of champions. Mela eyed the cake he put away, couldn't she just eat that now? She licked her lips, deciding not to ask, doubting he'd approve. She could put the cake on the pizza though? No no no. Why ruin two good things? But maybe it could work? She sat on the couch, shaking her head at her own musings. When Shota grabbed a slice, she leaned her head up and took a bite from the side. Mmm!

"Oh?" She giggled. Yes, that sounded like him. Mela hoped she wasn't distracting Shota too much from his work. She had no idea someone was out to get him but she wouldn't believe him even he voiced his concerns. She finished a slice and giggled even more as Shota kissed along her ear and blew into it. Ah so ticklish! Mela blushed and moved around in his lap and kissed him. "How can you miss me? I saw you hours ago!" She teased him. She rested her forehead against his. "I wonder how much Shota-kun missed me." She hummed thoughtfully as she pushed herself up against him, her hands running through his hair, "You know that collar and leash idea still may be on the table." She winked. Of course she never said who would be following who hehe.

- - -

His father looked rather disappointed that he couldn't be of more use but Shoto decided he'd help Ruka in his father's place or something. Shoto helped move the dishes to the table. What Ruka could get done in such a small window of time was always impressive. He couldn't help but wonder if someday he could come home to her cooking every night, able to wrap his arms around her and talk about how their day had been helping people. Yes, would marriage be a possibility? He quietly hoped so. But of course the only thing ruining his day dream was his father. They sat down and he smiled at the cold soba. "Thank you." He smiled. She remembered his favorite food? "It's very good." He said after having a taste.

He almost choked at his father's suggestion. No no no no nooooo. He sank in his seat. "T-that is not necessary." He said, getting pale at the very thought. "Umm maybe another week." Or never. He muttered, not wanting him to come at all, much less on Friday. No way. Once done with their very good meal, he headed off with Ruka to enjoy the night's sky outside. It was dark and they could enjoy the cool air together. He held an arm around Ruka, holding her close. "It was very good, far better than this family deserves." He smiled lightly. But maybe someday he'd be deserving of coming home to Ruka? He hoped so. "You made dessert?" He joked, kissing her. "I do have one dessert I have been craving." He purred against her lips. She would always be his favorite treat.

AiAi AiAi
 
Although his day didn't go as originally planned with having Ayumi get in his way while confirming that Nezu did indeed have something against him...all in all Shota will say that he thought the day ended pretty well. He was able to spend his time with Mela and just shower her with his feelings all over again while making sure to ask her to the dance. He would have probably made both Midoriya and Iida unable to attend the dance if they were to have gone with Mela. That was totally fair, right? Taking his leave after making sure Mela was fed and happy, Shota went home to make sure Mi was fed and happy now. Oh, the girls in his life. Heh.

- Wednesday is hard to spell, but its a pain to go against rivals too -

Shota was hoping that today would be the day he and Mela can go against each other. He would say so himself that he has been a patient and good boy and so Mela should reward him. Yes, reward him with some special training lessons heh. Or so he hoped it would turn out, but as the morning ended without much of an issue except for getting dragged into having lunch with Hizashi and Ayumi, Shota will say that the morning was alright. Now, when it was time for the heroic courses to get started, Shota definitely did not see this coming ever.

Staring across from him in the near-empty training room, Shota held back another sigh as he glared at bright blue eyes. How did this happen? Why him? Were his rules for this week completely forgotten? He recalled back to the start of the afternoon where everyone was picking partners. Shota wanted Mela to pick him, but instead, she walked straight up to Todoroki much to everyone's surprise and picked him to be her partner. Should he worry? But then he felt a sudden dark gaze on him and before he can even think, he was being dragged off by the shorter Pinkette. What were these two girls thinking!? Shota honestly could never understand women and he wasn't sure if he ever wanted to. They can be quite...scary to put it bluntly.

He rubbed the side of his neck as he looked over at Ruka. He couldn't help but ask her, "so why me?" Like for real though...why him? As far as Shota knew, him and Ruka...were not on good terms. But she was supposedly Mela's lover and really good friend...Shota sighed as he saw no way around this. He'll have to butt heads with her and win over her to win her friendship. Or so he supposed was the way to Kurotsuki's heart. Guess there was no other way around this. As the two got ready to train, Ruka answered his question, "because, you're Mela's soulmate and boyfriend. As her best friend, I will see for myself if you're truly worthy of her." Feeling the aura around her darken, Shota couldn't help but wonder if it was because Mela chose Todoroki as her partner. Even he was curious as to what those two were up to! Shota smirked as he got himself ready, "well then, guess I'll have to show you how serious I am."

- - -

Tuesday night was well spent. Ruka enjoyed cooking and if it made others happy, then she was happy too. And if it made Shoto happy, then Ruka is very happy. She can be simple when she wants to be. Hehe. As they sat together under the night sky, Ruka enjoyed moments like these. It was so peaceful and it honestly felt like there was only her and him in this world right now. That it was their world and their peace. She liked to hope that a day like this would happen much more often...even daily if possible. A time where she or he won't have to be going home...a place where they can both call home. Would such a day ever happen? Could she ever be allowed such happiness...? Home, it was a foreign word for Ruka as she realized she never really had a home. Her family lived apart from her whereas Ruka just lived alone. Of course, she had the company of Mela, but she never was able to receive a welcoming hug or warm dinner from her own family...from her mother. Blinking away such thoughts, Ruka enjoyed the rest of her night with Shoto, having to leave a few hours later since it was still a school night...plus having Enji around it'll be...awkward for Ruka to stay the night...though somehow she can see Enji encouraging the two to have 'fun'....haha...yeah awkward.

- Time to get serious! -

As Wednesday came by rather quickly, Ruka found herself thinking of who to go against today. Hm...there was Denki she could try asking, but seeing as how Kyoka was hovering around the blonde, Ruka wasn't sure if that was even possible. Who else was her partners again? Katsuki...Mela...Shoto...Denki...and...Mineta to name a few. Her nose scrunched at the idea of going against Mineta. Was she in the mood to handle his perviness? Hm, that was questionable though the idea of burning him to a crisp and possibly making it so he can't speak any longer? Oh well, that was a tempting idea actually. Though Shoto was out of the option as she promised herself to reserve him for Friday. Even if she can't keep herself away from him, the fight will happen Friday. That much she can handle. Ehe.

As lunch came around, Ruka spent her time with Shoto, the two relaxing and talking about who their partners would be. Ruka gave him a cheeky smile as she leaned up and pecked his cheek while explaining, "I know for sure you'll be my partner for Friday, but I'm honestly at a loss of who to go against today and tomorrow..." should she dare...? "Maybe Mela again? Or Katsuki?" Ruka's teasing grin widened as she listed those two off. She was certain Mela wouldn't mind another fun round while she can imagine Katsuki was more than ready for another rematch. After spending some more time teasing Shoto, the two headed off to get changed. Ruka changed into her second hero costume, the wine red matching with her pale complexion.

Once changed, Ruka went out to see who she will pick when Mela came over and chose Shoto to be her partner. Ruka blinked a few times. What? She looked over at Mela, her eyes narrowing as she knew Mela had something up her sleeve, but before Ruka can even voice her thoughts out, things were settled. Ruka pouted, fine if thats how things are going to go then....her eyes trailed over to Aizawa. She grimaced but with a frown, she walked over to him. "You're my partner." Nothing else. Nope. If Mela is going to take Shoto away then Ruka will take on Aizawa, plus she did have some things she wanted to say to him anyway. She gave Aizawa a smirk as she added, "what? Scared to lose?" That seemed to work as she was now facing him in the training room. There was a moment of silence before Ruka explained why she was here. She smirked at his words, her hands lighting up with her black flames as she muttered out, "good."

Genkai Genkai
 
- - - Wednesday is gonna be tough! - - -

The morning was bright and vivid. Mela eyed the leaves as they were slowly beginning to change color. Walking to school with Ruka, Mela discussed how excited she was for today. She hadn't yet told Ruka but she was going to go after Todoroki. Oh yes. It certainly wasn't personal but she had to challenge the boy after Ruka's sweet heart. She knew Todoroki made Ruka happy, almost too happy. Still, Mela felt that was her job, not Todoroki's! Mela hated feeling like Shoto was stealing Ruka away all the time. And he totally was! So she was going to fight for Ruka's heart and win! She just hoped Ruka wouldn't be too upset when she kicked her boyfriend's butt haha.

Nothing could go wrong today! Mela arrived and sat down in her seat. Iida-san spoke up, asking about wanting a rematch with her since he felt he had done so poorly. "Maybe tomorrow?" She suggested. But no, tomorrow she had her sights set on All Might. And Friday was reserved for a different pro heroes by the name of Eraserhead. Today would be her and Todoroki though, she had to convince him to go for it. When lunch rolled around, she headed off to go eat with Yagi for a bit, both enjoying the outdoors. It seemed Shota was busy with his other two teachers and she hoped he was enjoying himself. If possible hehe.

Mela explained to Toshinori that she'd be gunning for Todoroki, though the lanky blonde didn't seem too thrilled with the selection. "Well tomorrow I'm kinda hoping to track down All Might. Or I suppose Iida-kun or Dekkun if I can't." She considered. Once the bell rang she waved and ran off to change into her second hero costume. Tomorrow she's pick her third and Friday, of course Shota gets her first, kitty cat one! Mela pointed to Todoroki, "You're my partner!" She declared, leaving no room for argument. She could tell many were confused and concerned. If he loved Ruka, then how would this fight go?

She and Shoto headed off to train, Mela looking gleeful as she pushed him along, Shoto just rubbing his neck. "You either go easy on me as to not hurt me or Ruka's feelings. Or you take this seriously, risk injuring me and Ruka's feelings." Either way, Mela felt pretty much in control here. Plus she wanted to get to know the guy better. "Besides I hardly know the guy who is making moves on my best friend. We really should hang out more. Have you practiced archery before?" She grinned to him. Their training was basic, mostly stretching with Mela eyeing her prey. They did some hand to hand but Shoto was mostly being a bit passive.

As it was time for the matches to begin, Mela raised her hand and elected to go first. She leaned over and kissed Ruka on her way to the arena. "Cheer for me, babe~" She winked as she stood in front of Shoto. The boy looked rather uncertain but knew he had to just end this quickly and not give her a chance to use any of her smoke bombs or arrows on him. As the match kicked off, Mela ran forward and decided she was going to do some hand to hand. Shoto breathed in deeply and blocked her attacks fairly easily. He then threw a wave of ce which Mela flipped backwards to evade.

"You're so cold." Mela winked to him. She pulled out a small bomb and threw it and then another, the first was a smoke bomb and the second, an explosive. She ran forward, bow at the ready. Shoto encased himself in ice to protect himself, the explosion doing little to him as well as her four arrows. He melted his ice and threw ice towards Mela, trying to trap her feet but she was too quick. He wouldn't use fire, no. Not on Mela. Running for her, Shoto engaged in more hand to hand before he grabbed her arms and was able to hold her down while he froze her in place, leaving her neck and head exposed. It was good she had a scarf on.

- - -

His evening had been very productive. He and Ruka had shared a very intimate moment together following dinner. More than one actually. The boy went to walk Ruka to the door. He was going to walk her home but she said it wasn't necessary. His father of course gave him a hard time for not seeing her home properly so they spent the next hour working out and training, much to Shoto's displeasure. Come morning, he got up feeling sore for a few reasons, some more enjoyable than others. After a long lazy shower, Shoto got ready for school. He wondered if he could somehow convince Ruka to have them fight today.

Why wait? He fixed his tie on his way to the bus stop while sending Ruka a good morning text as he got on the bus. He looked at his work for the day wondering how he managed to get homework done on top of everything else. His grades weren't slipping but he was sleeping a bit less than usual. He wondered if it would be possible to study with Ruka but not get so easily distracted. Otherwise he would have to study with Momo and Tenya perhaps. His thoughts were broken as he arrived at school. Stepping off the bus, he flashed mild smiles to those who recognized and headed into the main building.

Catching up to his friends, he chatted with the outside the door. Many of them talking about dates. Shoto was quick to express his excitement since he had a date. He had been asked once by a second year not in the hero nor support class, but he turned her down as best he could. No, the only person he saw himself going to the dance with was his lovely girlfriend. And if she somehow didn't want to go then he'd be happy with her, just staying in. With lunch upon them, Shoto frowned at Ruka's pool of possibilities. No. No Mela nor Bakugo. He couldn't handle that again. He would almost prefer Mineta because then she could kick him out swiftly but with the other two...trouble seemed to happen.

"I would prefer you pick someone else. Someone with both ice and fire." He muttered, eyeing her. Surely she knew someone who matched that description? As they gathered around to pick partners, change and disband to train for a bit, Shoto found himself being called out by Ruka's best friend. This was trouble on a new level. What was he supposed to do?! He couldn't beat her but he couldn't lose either. Something told him if he lost, which was next to impossible in his mind, Mela would claim Ruka as her own! Or something! He would do his best to make it a clean fight. Their practice went by smoothly as he refrained from taking her bait as she rambled about Ruka and Yukito and their destination wedding in two months.

Once training ended, finally, they headed out to the arena. Shoto wasn't surprised by Uede's eageriness. He rose a brow at her kissing Ruka but said nothing. He then leaned over and kiss Ruka even more passionately. So ha. The match progressed quickly. Shoto tried to pin her down with his ice but her feet, hands and even scarf were too quick. She was spry on her feet and that only made him more annoyed. He couldn't be too rough on her though. He was sure Ruka and even Aizawa would be a bit bothered if he just threw out flames. While Shoto wasn't one for vocal taunts like Ruka or Katsuki, he was sure his gaze said it all. He wasn't going to lose to Mela or anyone when it came to Ruka.

In the end, he froze her in place finally. She began to hiss and yell at him but as soon as the fight was called, he quickly melted her and made sure she was okay. Shoto rubbed his neck as Mela ran back to Ruka and threw her arms around her friend. Shoto hoped Ruka knew this hadn't been an easy fight since he didn't want to lose but he also didn't want to win either, if that made sense. He walked over and smiled to Mela, "Nice job." He said, hoping it didn't sound patronizing. Next it was Denki and Katuki huh? Shoto leaned over to Ruka, "You're fighting Aizawa huh? You think he'd look nice with a bit of a haircut?" He joked, flashing a bit of his fire before Mela whined about not touching Aizawa's hair.

- - -

Ayumi was quite intrigued by this day's set of match ups. She was wondering why would Mela and Ruka go after two boys? She knew Toddoroki and Kurotsuki were sort of an item but she wasn't sure just how true those wild rumors were. She floated above the arena as she looked down, watching Todoroki fight with such conflicted conviction while Uede looked like she was fighting to prove something. She was mostly interested in Aizawa and Kurotsuki though. She had never seen the dark haired man fight and she was curious to see what he could do. It didn't matter if Kurotsuki was a student but it did matter that Aizawa was getting in the way of Uede and Kurotsuki's lovely relationship.

To her, the girls were so obviously in love. But she had to wonder if maybe they liked to just toy with Shoto on the side? Not that she would blame the girls. He was quite smooth but a bit too icy for her tastes, personally. As she watched Denki go up against Bakugo, she dodged a few volts and flew off to duck behind Aizawa, knowing it wouldn't feel very good to get hit by anything the punk rock boy was throwing out. Soon it was declared a win in Denki's favor. She saw him sway before she flew down to catch him, before she picked up Bakugo and headed off to get them to Medical Girl.

- - -

Though he hadn't seen her over the past few days, Denki had been texting with Namie about the week and his progress. He wished she could come and see him, though not today hehe, but since these were matches held during the school day, it was impossible for her to get out and see them. It only worked on Saturdays because she didn't have class then, unlike the rotten UA school! Denki had told her about the dance though and the time and that he'd pick her up. He was looking forward to it, knowing there'd be some great music and food and company. Eijiro was even teaching him how to dance a little. Kyoka tried but soon gave up, calling him a lost cause.

Harsh.

But Denki wanted to make sure this dance was fun for both him and Namie. He still felt like it was her patronage that probably pushed them over the top and helped 3-A win. As the lunch hour came to a close, he was finding himself feeling brave as he asked to be paired with Bakugo. Everyone seemed to be making tough but bold choices! Bakugo laughed, reminding Denki of his loss last time. Namie had seen it. But this time Denki would redeem himself and be a hero for her, even if she wasn't around to cheer for him, he could feel her in his heart. The blond boys went to go train while Bakugo ranted about not losing this time and how much Kaminari was going to die.

Once training was over and Todoroki was done with Uede, it was his turn. Denki got to the arena and stood there, charging himself up. He could hear a few cheers as he decided to just wait. Bakugo ran forward, using his explosions to propel himself into the air and send a flurry of hits to Denki. Denki dodged them and managed to grab onto Katsuki's arm before he could get away. Giving it everything he got, released several thousand volts into the angry boy who yelled out profanities as he fell backwards, steam coming off of his head. Bakugo was very dazed but not done yet as he aimed more explosions at Denki who dodged, knowing he'd have to amp it up a bit to take him down, the next surge would do it.

Bakugo yelled out and kept firing at Denki who dodged some while taking the brunt force of others. Denki wouldn't give up though. He was covered in burns and scratches but he told himself he was a hero and heroes didn't give up. In the cover of smoke, Denki decided this had to be his second chance to finish the job. He knew Bakugo wouldn't fall for the same trick of being grappled and shocked sos Denki decided to shock the whole area, letting out all of his volts. There was screaming from both sides as the smoke cleared, both boys somehow on their feet before Bakugo toppled over, knocked out first.

AiAi AiAi
 
Training was just hell. Shota wasn't sure if he should be serious against her or if he should go easy on her. He was positive that if he were to even mess up a single strand of Ruka's hair...a certain brunette and a half and half boy would be after him. Now Todoroki shouldn't be much of a problem, but to him, Mela was a big problem. He didn't need to have his girlfriend mad at him. This...was a difficult situation. Either he goes easy and gets the wrath of Kurotsuki and possibly Mela or he goes against her seriously and gets the wrath of Mela and Todoroki if he were to hurt Kurotuski. He let out a loud sigh as he headed over to the gym once the training period was over with. All he wanted was to be paired with Mela and somehow he got the Pinkette instead. Oh, joy.

As Mela and Todoroki went first, Shota wasn't sure if he should feel jealous or bothered by Mela kissing Ruka. He saw the gleeful shine in Ayumi's eyes and Shota held back a groan. Why can't his girlfriend see that she was simply further proving to Ayumi the fact that Mela and Ruka are together. His eye twitched briefly at that thought before focusing on the fight in front of him. If Todoroki were to even scratch Mela...well it wouldn't hurt his grades even if he did score badly. Right? Feeling Ruka's glare on the side of his head, Shota decided against that as he simply watched the fight, smirking in pride when Todoroki couldn't land a hit on Mela for a while. As the ice was melted away, the two stepped back to the platform where everyone else was waiting. Shota held back a sigh as he rubbed the side of his neck, watching as Mela ignored him and ran to Ruka instead. Tch.

Once Kaminari and Bakugou were finished with their match, Shota caught Ruka's look and knew it was their turn. Most of the students wondered why Ruka chose to go against him when he can easily cancel her quirk out. But Shota knew better than to underestimate her. The last person who did got nearly burned to the ground after all. Thankfully, during their training, Ruka told him one thing that made it a lot easier to fight her, "go all out. Don't hold back. Idiot." Okay...the idiot part was not necessary, but Shota will ignore it in favor of having to not hold back against her. As he stood across from her, Shota could hear Mela cheering for Ruka but not for him. He nearly pouted then and there. It didn't help that Kurotsuki noticed that too.

The fight began with everyone tensely watching, but the outcome was something that he expected. If he were to go all out, he, of course, would win. Though he didn't expect Kurotsuki to land a hit on him. Hmph, he'll give her that. After canceling out her quirk, Shota took no more chances as he wrapped her in his scarf and flung her out of the ring. He let out a sigh as he walked back, unsure of what sort of repercussion that was going to give him. He eyed Mela warily, wondering if she was mad.

- - -

Training went by as smoothly as Ruka imagined. She kept throwing questions at him while tossing out her flames left and right. She didn't understand why he wasn't trying to cancel her quirk by using his when she realized he was trying to save it for their actual match later. Ruka smirked as an idea came to mind, but that will be saved for later~ But for now...Ruka threw a flaming kick towards Aizawa as she asked him once more, "what is Mela to you?" Did he love her? Or what? Ruka's eyes narrowed as she would be damned to hand Mela over to some old perverted guy if all he wanted was her body and nothing else! Ruka just wanted Mela to be happy, but if the guy she was dating can't do that, then Ruka will have to silently dispose of him and make Mela happy herself. But in the end, Ruka can only let Mela do what she wants while watching over her best friend silently. That's what basically went down when Mela dated Hideo. Then again, it seemed like Hideo avoided Ruka for the most part.

As the training period ended, Ruka headed out to the gym where she was given a kiss by Mela as her best friend volunteered to go first. Ruka can only shake her head as she smiled back at Mela, "of course I'll cheer for you~" Ruka winked back at Mela before letting out a surprised sound as Shoto kissed her as well, a bit more passionately at that. Her face was red as she can only watch Shoto head down to the stage. A-ah now she wasn't sure who she should cheer for. That kiss...dang it Shoto. Though as the match progressed, Ruka cheered for Mela. Though as Mela was pinned down by Shoto's ice, Ruka can only give her friend a comforting hug and kiss on the head as she rubbed her friend's back soothingly. Turning to Shoto, Ruka chuckled as her eyes shined, "Oh yes, I was thinking he needed a new haircut." She could hear Mela's whining in the background as she stood by Shoto. She gave her boyfriend a small smile as she told him, "good job. That was hard, huh hehe."

After Bakatsuki and Denki's fight to which Ruka loudly cheered for Denki to tick Katsuki off more which it did haha. She was rather happy to know Denki won against Katsuki and had to hold back from laughing at the state the two were in. Denki was laughing as he was barely conscious while Katsuki was fried to a crisp and was unconscious. Oh, she's gonna hear a lot of screaming later huh. Haha. Though after that match, Ruka already had in mind to go next. She gave Aizawa a look and the two headed down to the stage. Turning to Mela, Ruka blew a kiss and a wink, her eyes shining when she looked over at Shoto. Sorry dear, but later.

Facing Aizawa, the match began with Ruka running straight to Aizawa and directed a kick towards his face. He caught it with ease but with him holding her foot, Ruka twisted her body and did a handstand as she kicked him with her other foot. Aizawa caught both and he had to wonder what she was planning though the girl wearing a short kimono dress to do a handstand? Shota looked away and that was his mistake as Ruka created a large blast of fire with her hands which created a large puff of smoke surrounding the two. Shota let out a curse as he saw a large burst of flame directed straight at him or rather in his general direction. It burned a side of his arm as he jumped out of the smoke in time. Ruka smirked as she saw the burn on his arm, "oops, did I do that?" Shota let out a silent curse as he glared over at Ruka, finally using his quirk against her. Feeling a cap on her quirk, Ruka was running towards him for some close combat when he decided to not play nice anymore and so she found herself suddenly tied up in his scarf and being thrown out the ring. Ruka let out a sound as she landed on the ground.

She gave Aizawa a glare, but she smirked as she stood up and walked over to Mela, "the old perv was being mean~" Ruka whined out though she sent Aizawa one final smirk as she unleashed the Mela onto him. Turning around, she walked over to Shoto as she told him with a pout, "I was aiming for his eyebrows, but he got a little impatient." Oh well, there was always next time. Too bad she couldn't try out to see if she can last against him while he was using his quirk until the next time he had to blink? She was curious.

- - -

This week was quite an interesting week with the class dance as an end to the week. Toshinori was in the courtyard as usual during lunch and he spent it with Mela. Hehe. He was quite happy to see her and just to speak to her though upon hearing who she planned to go against for today's matchups, he couldn't help but be concerned. Why would she pick Todoroki of all people? It bothered him and made him curious at the same time. So by the time the matches began, All Might was there watching with concern. He gave Mela a thumbs up as he watched her fight against Todoroki, impressed at her agility skills. After the match with Kaminari Shounen and Bakugou Shounen, All Might was more curious than ever about this upcoming fight. It was against Kurotsuki Shoujo and Aizawa-kun. He watched with slight concern as it was a pro-hero against a student after all though it seemed like he had nothing to worry about as Kurotsuki Shoujo showed some resistance against Aizawa-kun, she was still no match for a pro-hero.

- - -

What the actual fuck!? Katsuki's fiery hues glowed dangerously as he was forced to accept the idiot blonde's invitation to be partners for the day. He wanted a fucking rematching against Ruka or even that half and half! What the hell!? He let out an annoyed grunt as he spent training blasting explosives towards blondie for most of the time. He glared at nothing in particular as he vowed silently to himself to redeem himself today. He will not lose today! Like he can even lose against this loser. He smirked down at Kaminari as they faced each other on the stage, pointing at Kaminari, Katsuki loudly told him, "you're going to die!" More or less an exaggeration, but it got his point across. Though in the end, Katsuki was more than pissed as he found himself waking up to the kiss of Recovery Granny instead of being the victor. A loud yell can be heard from the infirmary as he could not believe he lost...again! No! Never! Tomorrow, he.will.win. Damnit!

Genkai Genkai
 
Watching Shota and Ruka take the stage, Mela gave Ruka a thumbs up. "Goooo Rukkaaaaa!" She cheered. Shota hardly needed the cheers considering she was sure he was going to win the same way he won against her a few weeks ago. Plus wouldn't it be weird for her to cheer for their evil teacher and not her assumed girlfriend? Hehe. Though she was worried that Ruka may do something to his hair or something, her fire could be pretty tricky and she was hoping Shota didn't get burned. Wrapping her arms around All Might's larger arm, she clung to him nervously as she gave her friend a few encouraging cheers.

Seeing some fire catch Shota's arm, she let out a small whine. Be careful, Ruka! She held her breath as Shota activated his own quirk, his hair suddenly standing up. Oh, she had forgotten how hot he looked with his quirk activated. She barely even noticed Ruka being thrown out as she eyed her man looking so sexy with that scarf and hair of his. She finally let go of All Might as Ruka came back over to them. "Aww, you did your best." She offered some words to her friend as Shoto pulled her aside. Mela hurried over to Shota to see if he was okay. He didn't really get burned did he? She gave him a small pout, "Do you need to see Medical Girl?" She asked him, a bit worried.

Though how could she be mad? No no, if anything she was kind of turned on. Oh yes, seeing her boyfriend fight was always a delight. Ruka was fine and that certainly helped matters. Mela eyed him carefully as the other matches progressed. Mela stood by the teachers to see the other strange pairings. When class for the day was called, Mela headed off with Ruka and the other girls to get changed. Out of her outfit and into her uniform, Mela headed out to talk to All Might before she left. "By the way, tomorrow I was hoping to go against you." She mentioned to All Might. "If you're free!" She added before she headed off to locate Shota.

Now she was one on the hunt.

Mela found Shota and pulled him off to a place no one else was and pulled his lips down to hers, kissing him deeply. Sure, she had been cheering for Ruka but Shota had to know she was silently cheering for him too. "You looked sooo good out there." She grinned to him. Yes he did. What girl didn't like seeing a pro hero do his thing? Mela had no shame haha. She then kissed him again before she headed back with him to his office. Yes, she had to make sure Shota was okay. She couldn't believe some of Ruka's flames got on him but he seemed okay which was good. Yes, she wanted Shota to be rewarded for his efforts to not hurt Ruka as well.

- - -

Even though Ruka had gotten a few good hits on Aizawa, Shoto had to think the pro hero was going easy on her. Ruka was good but he knew Aizawa was just better. It annoyed him to think Ruka wanted to target such a slippery enemy but he had to think her motives were to interrogate him as Mela had done to Shoto. He sighed, watching carefully. He cheered for Ruka even though she hadn't done the same for him earlier. Naughty bunny, he'd have to correct that behavior of hers. Then again, he was sure she would always cheer for her friend no matter the circumstances so he didn't take it too personally but he knew Ruka had cheered a bit too much just to annoy Shoto.

A smirk crossed his lips as he noticed some smoke and some black fire had grazed Aizawa's arm. It was always interesting to watch Ruka fight, her fire was so eye-catching and fierce. Just like Ruka herself. As she ran to get closer, he held back a frown, thinking back to Mela's fight with Aizawa. And sadly it ended just the same. He glared, not really happy with the fact Aizawa chose to end it so childishly but it was a way to restrain and end a fight in the real world. Still, he hoped Ruka was okay and pulled her close to him, kissing her head. She looked unharmed. He gave Aizawa a look as he kissed Ruka's nose this time and then her lips. "Good job, hun. You should have just lit his pants on fire." Shoto teased her.

Keeping his arms around her, now standing behind her with his chin on her shoulder, the rest of the matches progressed. Shoto wasn't letting Ruka go anytime soon. He still had to make her cry out his name, if she wouldn't do it on the sidelines of a fight then perhaps she would do it in bed? Yes, he would accept that compromise. Shoto blew cool air into her ear as he decided to have his fun with her, it's what she got for teasing him right? His hips pushed against hers, letting her feel where exactly his mind was. As the day ended, he went off to get changed but not before nipping at Ruka's ear. "You better wait for me and not go running off." He muttered.

Shoto would find her though, but why make them both wait any longer?

Back in his uniform, he came out and spotted Ruka. Good girl. He waved to Midoriya who mentioned something about seeing Katsuki and Denki in the infirmary. Shoto shook his head a little, not wanting to be in Kaminari's shoes. He came up from behind and picked up Ruka in his arms, carrying her bridal style. "Gotcha." He smirked down to her, kissing her softly. "I decided one way or another, you're going to be cheering my name, Kurotsuki-san." He informed her as he headed up to their classroom, this time deciding to go to 3-A and have some fun. He pulled open the door and closed it behind him, locking it before he moved and sat her down on her desk, standing between her legs.

- - -

Ayumi was entertained by Aizawa's struggles and also found herself cheering for Ruka along with Mela and Shoto and a few others. It seemed like Aizawa didn't have any fans ehehe. Ayumi felt a bit bad so she wound up changing sides at the end to assure the pro hero he wasn't totally alone. When Ruka was tossed out, Ayumi flew over to check on her but she seemed fine so she glanced over to Aizawa, a bit amused by his fighting style. And it seemed his hair had fallen back across his back. So he could cancel quirks? Or what? She found that scarf of his to be very fascinating and she wanted to get a closer look at it one of these days, her mind going a few different places.

- - -

Denki jolted awake by a yell from Katsuki. He almost fell off the bed and found himself wishing he was being healed by Namie instead but he was okay now. He gave Bakugo a nervous smile, trying to not rile up the other blond boy. Soon Deku came in to say how well they both did but it was clear Bakugo was pissed about losing once again and Denki felt bad for whoever the guy picked tomorrow. Denki hopped off the bed and hurried out before Bakugo tried to get another fight in. Denki texted Namie about the outcome, feeling quite proud of himself. He wondered how Ruka had done though. A pang hit his heart as he realized he hadn't been there to cheer for her the way she done for him. Was she okay?

AiAi AiAi
 
At her words, Shota simply shrugged his shoulders as he told her, "I'm fine. It was just a slight burn, nothing serious." If he was hit head-on by her flames, then he'd probably need to see Recovery Girl, but he was fine so thats all that mattered. For the rest of the class time, Shota stood by Mela and the other teachers as he silently watched the other matches. He wasn't very pleased about Mela's loud cheerings for Kurotsuki and not for him. She was like that even for her own match where she openly kissed and flirted with Kurotsuki. He glanced over at Ayumi, hoping the brown haired witch did not see that kiss. Now then, how can he teach Mela once and for all that she was his and only his? Really, she should have been cheering for him, not for Kurotsuki.

Once every pair fought, Shota dismissed the class and turned to go outside and wait for Mela. He'll wait for her to change. He needed to have a few words with her after all. Leaning against the nearby tree, Shota had his arms crossed as he waited for Mela. In his mind, he was trying to think of different 'teaching' methods so that she'll learn to only call out his name. He was positive she did this to tease him. Tch, naughty girl. He blinked his eyes open when Mela dragged him off all of a sudden. Huh? "Oi, what are you do-" Shota opened his mouth to ask her what was wrong when she pulled him down for a bruising kiss. Wrapping his arms around her, Shota deepened the kiss before smirking at her words. Oh? She enjoyed it, did she now? Good. Leaning down, he murmured hotly into her ear, "I can show you some even better things." Giving her a suggestive smirk, the two headed to his office for some extracurricular lesson. It went on for quite a while.

Later that night, Shota had to, unfortunately, do some paperwork so he couldn't see Mela, but she was mentioning about having to stop by somewhere anyway. He lifted a brow at that, but can only nod his head. She was a high school senior, he can't blame her for having many activities after school. As he finished up the paperwork with Mi sleeping comfortably on his lap, Shota silently wondered if he should get her anything for the dance. Hm, perhaps a corsage? Girls liked those and it was something the date got for a dance, right? Yeah, he'll probably get her one. Once he completed his work, Shota got dressed and headed out into the night, having to do his hero work now. He pulled out his phone and sent Mela a goodnight text before heading off to work.

- Thursday, it's almost Friday! -

Yawning tiredly, Shota arrived to work with a rather tired expression on his face. He ended up catching some villains attempting to rob a bank so that took most of the night and after capturing them, he had to file in a report to the police and by the time he got home, he barely got any sleep. Shota let out a small sigh as he went to work. He walked over to 3-A, filling them in for the day's schedule before heading off to his office for some sleep. He texted Mela and told her that he'll be napping in his office if she wanted to come by. Though come the afternoon class, Shota could feel his eye twitching as Mela was faced with Bakugou. No no no! That was not allowed! Thankfully, it seemed like he wasn't the only one thinking that as for this one time, Shota will let it slide as he was being dragged off to face Midoriya.

- - -

As the rest of the matches progressed, Ruka stood watching with Shoto's arms wrapped around her. She felt rather comfortable and she thought that perhaps Shoto wasn't that mad about her cheering for Mela and not for him though that all changed when he began to tease her. Ruka bit back a moan that was threatening to escape her throat as his icy breath teased her ear. She let out a small whine and stiffened when he pushed against her. She bit her lip even more as she pouted. She didn't tease him that much, right? Before Ruka can go and get changed with Mela, she was stopped by Shoto. Placing a hand against her ear, she blushed at his words but can only watch him head off. Another pout formed on her lips. He was such a tease!

After getting changed, Ruka decided that yes, she'll be a good girl and wait for Shoto just this once. Plus it seemed like Mela had other plans in mind already. Waiting for Shoto, Ruka didn't notice him come up behind her as she let out a small squeak as she felt herself being lifted up. As he carried her off to somewhere, Ruka felt embarrassed as many students stared enviously over at the couple, "S-Shoto! People are watching us..." Ruka whined out though she kept her arms wrapped around his neck. She enjoyed him spoiling her like this, but she was quite shy when there were so many watching them. Though when they arrived at their classroom, Ruka felt a thump in her heart as she felt herself getting a tad excited. What did he have in mind? Recalling his promising words as they moved to their classroom, Ruka's heart was jumping around as she settled comfortably on her desk, her legs keeping Shoto in place. She smirked at him as she murmured out, "naughty boy..." but boy did she love him.

- Thursday, time to have some fun! Or not? -

After spending the rest of her afternoon with Shoto yesterday, Ruka went home to have dinner with Mela, the two discussing of who they can go against for tomorrow. It seemed apparent that Mela wanted to go against All Might while Ruka had in mind a few options. She wanted to go against maybe Denki or perhaps even Midoriya though she never thought a certain someone would approach her. As Thursday came, Ruka went to school and enjoyed her morning with Shoto, her idea of teasing Shoto until Friday long gone as she just could not resist her lover. After lunch, Ruka got changed into her third costume, her angel wings one as she looked about her classmates, wondering who to choose for today.

Though before Ruka can even try to think of someone, a voice was heard from behind her. A bit too close for comfort. Jumping away, Ruka turned to see that it was Mineta who seemed to be sort of...panting? Her brows furrowed as she took another step back as Mineta took a step forward, "uh yes? Did you need something?" Ruka asked him, unsure what the shorter male wanted from her. Suddenly, the boy was on his knees as he loudly begged her, "be my partner for today Kurotsuki! You and I were supposed to be partners but we never fought! Today can be the day! I beg of you!" Ruka blinked a few times. Oh right, she was sick when she was supposed to have gone against Mineta...but did she really want to? She looked down and jumped when he was sniffing her. Urk....she wasn't sure about this, "uh...I'm not sure..." Ruka mumbled off feeling uncomfortable.

Though at the idea of going against Mineta and burning him without getting in trouble? Oh, that sounded really tempting. She's been wanting to crush the poor grapehead and teach him a lesson or two in not getting near girls with ulterior motives so this might actually be a really good chance? Ruka glanced around to see if Shoto already had a partner. He did, good. This way he can't stop her even if he wanted to. Ruka turned and smiled down at Mineta, the latter getting shining eyes full of hope, "on second thought...." Ruka started, grinning as she was eager to crush this boy and burn him to a crisp. Though before she can even get her words out, Denki stopped her. She blinked over at him in surprise. Oh...well...if he really wanted to..." oh um well I suppose we can." Ruka told Denki as she ignored the fallen look on Mineta's face. Mineta clung onto Denki's leg as he begged the blonde male, "PLEASE let me go against Kurotsuki! Kaminari, my friend!"

- - -

If Mela was worried for Ruka during Ruka and Aizawa's fight, she certainly did not show it as All Might tensed up and did his best to focus on the match instead of the cute girl hanging off his arm. He kept a calm composure in fear of getting the stink eye from Ayumi or something like that. What er happened during the match? For the most part, All Might was focused more on Mela than on anything else. As the matches were done for the day, All Might left in a hurry though he was stopped by Mela herself. He blinked a few times at her declaration for tomorrow. Watching Mela head off to who knows where All Might tried to still his beating heart.

- Thursday is my day! -

For some reason, all of today Toshinori was feeling quite jittery. Maybe it was because of Mela wanting to go against him again, but either way he was quite upbeat for most of the day and had even a wonderful lunchtime with Mela. The two talking about the flower that they planted together. It was a good day so far and he can only look forward to the afternoon even more! Come the afternoon, All Might was heading his way over to where all of class 3-A should be assembled before pairing up and heading to their respective training rooms. He looked around for Mela, wanting to ask her to be his partner though she already made it quite clear to him yesterday that is what she wanted as well. He spotted Aizawa-kun being asked to partner up by a nervous looking Midoriya while....huh?

All of a sudden a loud voice called out to Mela, "OI you acrobatic grasshopper!" Toshinori sweatdropped at the odd nickname that Bakugou Shounen always came up with. He watched the younger male carefully, suddenly getting a bad feeling about all this. Katsuki smirked wickedly over at Mela as he pointed his finger at her, side glancing at Ruka before speaking up loudly, "yeah you! Partner up with me today. I won't take no for an answer!" Katsuki was hoping to go against Ruka again, but maybe picking on her best friend would be just as good? Yes, today he needed to blast someone away and have his fill of victory. Though it seemed like nothing was going his way this week as All Might's deep voice was heard from behind, "um, pardon me Bakugou Shounen...but Uede Shoujo is already partnered with me today, right, Uede Shoujo?" All Might looked hopefully over at Mela, wanting her to say yes as he for one did not want her to go against Bakugou Shounen.

Smiling in relief at Mela's answer, All Might led the way to their training room as he told her, "I remember your words yesterday so I was looking forward to today's fight, but did you want to go practice with Bakugou Shounen?" He was really hoping she'd say no to that. He was just saying that to be courteous. As they arrived at their training room, All Might stretched before smiling over at Mela, "alright! Let's get this started then Uede Shoujo!"

- - -

After not getting Uede as his partner, Katsuki raged even more as his angry fiery hues looked around for a new prey to feast upon. Upon seeing that sick perverted Mineta beg Ruka to be his partner, Katsuki smirked. Oh, he found one alright. As Kaminari stepped in, Katsuki ignored everything else as he stalked over to Mineta. Grabbing him by the scruff of his shirt, Katsuki began to drag the crying grape away as he loudly told Mineta, "I'M GOING TO CRUSH YOU." He's had enough of losing. Today he will win. No matter what! Needless to say, Mineta was in tears for the rest of the day.


Genkai Genkai
 
It was so wonderful that Mela could rely on Ruka to help bother Shota as needed. Of course it was just in good fun and the consequences were far too delightful to make her want to stop. But she also told herself she couldn't make Shota really worry too much. After all, there was no way she and Ruka would ever really become a thing. No no, they were both quite interested in their respective partners and not interested in the same-sex that much. Mela quickly paid a visit to Toshinori's after she had been entertained by Eraserhead though she couldn't stay long as it was getting dark. She talked with Ruka about how their scheme had worked perfectly. Mela found it amusing to know Shoto could consider her a threat.

- - Thursday is here tee-hee - - - -

As Mela finished lunch with Toshinori, she decided to leave Shota alone for the afternoon so he could sleep since she figured he needed it after a long night of crime fighting, she headed off to get changed. She slipped into her white costume and brushed her hair out. Yes, she looked like a perfect knight, ready to save the day! As they all gathered, Mela noticed Shota being approached by Deku and she now wasn't sure which she'd end up cheering for. Oh boy, not again. But she learned her lesson from yesterday so she'll just have to cheer for both boys! Suddenly loud noise was aimed at her, causing her to flinch. What?

"Aww acrobatic grasshopper? I've never heard that before! Thanks!" Mela took that as a compliment for whatever reason. Grasshoppers were cute and lucky right? But her against Bakugo? She was quite scared of him. He was loud and explode-y. But she also wanted revenge for what he did to Ruka. He would never be forgiven! Mela pouted, considering he may be targeting her because he wanted to get to Ruka or he wanted an easy win. Well she would turn him into a real porcupine with her arrows, all he need do is ask. Before she could reply, All Might spoke up and she spun around. Oh yes, how could she forget?

"Mhmm!" Mela nodded, now wondering if Shota would mind if she didn't go against him tomorrow and instead went after Bakugo instead. How could she turn down a challenge from Bakugo? Following All Might, Mela felt rather torn. Why miss a chance to kick Bakugo in the face and get graded for it? But then again she had All Might and needed to redeem herself from their last match when she may have moaned slightly. Ah yes, hopefully he didn't notice or forgot. "O-oh you were?" She blushed. "Well no I don't really want to go against Bakugo but...it was tempting~" Mela had to admit shyly as she began to stretch as well.

"But I'm quite happy to go against you, thank you so much for taking time to help me. It really means a lot." Mela said quickly, not wanting him to think she wasn't happy with him as her partner. Not many could say they got help from the number one hero? Not to mention she quite enjoyed having him all to herself. Ehehe. No, stop Mela! You're with Shota. But still, looking wasn't the same as touching right? Erm. Once they were done stretching, they decided to work on some light sparring, taking it slow. "By the way I never got a chance to ask, what did you do for your birthday?" She asked him as she jumped back away from a punch her threw. What did pro heroes do for their birthday anyway?

- - -

The afternoon had been very good in Shoto's mind. Progress had been made heh. He had been able to ensure that his lovely girlfriend didn't forget about him when she was on the sidelines. And maybe next time she'd be good and cheer for him. Or maybe he'd have to steal her away and listen to her alone, chanting his name. After they finished enjoying one another, Shoto walked her home, hand in hand. He wanted a little more time, that was all. He kissed her before he watched her head inside to begin dinner. He lingered for a moment before he went back to his home, calling his mother on the bus ride back to tell her how his week was going and that yes, Ruka was fine too.

- - Tomorrow Ruka is mine! - -

Come morning, Shoto got ready for school. For a moment he was excited that he'd finally get to go up against Ruka and have a real rematch but then he remember today was not Friday. This week was progressing very slow but he had enjoyed his girlfriend quite a bit so it made the wait for Friday a lot better. He was surprise how easily he could talk her into having some fun. If they had to really wait several days to enjoy one another, he didn't think they'd make it very far. And this week was proof of their need for intimacy. As he walked into the classroom, having spent the morning with Ruka in the library again, he paused for a moment.

Heh he already was imagining what he and Ruka did yesterday afternoon. Of course the desks had been cleaned since then but the memories of her and him would never fade. He walked over to his desk and sat down, unable to keep from smirking as he spotted Ruka entering soon after him, having made sure she was presentable. His eyes followed her as she came to sit down with him. "Morning." He said casually as if they had just seen one another but in fact they had spent the last thirty minutes or so entangle in the back area of the library. Shoto looked back up to the front as Aizawa said his usual spiel and then left.

Lunch was typical as well, him and Ruka enjoying each other and the good weather while it lasted. Shoto wasn't sure who he'd go against. Probably Momo or maybe Fumikage? He wanted to go against Ruka but he was sure she'd insist that they wait just one more day. In the back of Shoto's head, he was considering the dance which was Friday night. He wondered what Ruka would come dressed as? What sort of dress would be eventually be peeling off of her trembling body? He shook his head as he went to get changed. Coming back out to meet at the gym he found some kind of commotion as he saw Kaminari and Mineta crowding Ruka.

HIs eyes narrowed. Did he need to step in there and save Ruka? But before he could, he found himself being pulled aside by Momo who as asking for a fight. He sighed as he watched Ruka, staying quiet as it seemed Kaminari would partner up with her. Was he better than Mineta? Urgh yes but Shoto wasn't happy about it. He wanted to be with Ruka but tomorrow was their fated rematch. He rubbed his neck, leaning over to whisper, "Love you." to her before he went off with Momo who was beginning to talk about her weaknesses and strengths compared to his. Both he and Momo were fairly good at making battle plans so he knew this would be a rather, mundane training session but how would Ruka do with Denki?

- - -

Denki had been feeling pretty confident as the week progressed. He was doing really well that even Kyoka had to admit she was amazed. Denki was wondering if his winning streak would be broken today or if he'd get another win under his belt. Denki had been texting Namie about how hard he had been working and he had in turn asked how her own week had been treating her. He mentioned the dance a few times but he was nervous. He had never really been to one before and he wanted to make sure he did his best to give both he and Namie a great dance experience! He got up after Peachy kept licking his face, demanding to be fed.

After taking care of his furry companion, Denki got dressed and walked over to grab some breakfast. Eijiro and Bakugo were up ahead, talking about some tv show but Denki had already tuned them out as he caught up with Midoriya who said something about today being a good day for challenge. Maybe he had been inspired by this weeks variety of matches? Either way, Denki grabbed some coffee milk and a bagel and headed off to sit somewhere outside and eat. Staring up at the sky, Denki pulled out his keychain with the koala on it and looked at it. It was very cute and he wondered if he could get something similar for Namie?

Before his thoughts could drift any further, the bell chimed and he finished his food and headed inside, making it right on time. Sitting down, he waved to Ruka and somewhat waved to Todoroki before he faced the front. The lessons were boring but the teachers insisted this would all be very important for the midterms in a few weeks but to Denki they were too far away to pay much mind to. At lunch, he spent his time with Deku and the others, all talking about the dance tomorrow night. When lunch ended, Denki got changed in his casual clothes and gear and headed on out to see the usual faces gathered.

He suddenly heard some whining and looked to see Mineta bothering Ruka for a fight. Denki pushed his way over to see the pipsqueak trying to win over Ruka by...smelling her? Dude, what the hell? Denki made a face. "Ah let's team up, Kurotsuki-chan!" He blurted out. No way was he going to give Mineta the satisfaction of working with someone as cool and cute as Ruka. Mineta probably had some creepy fantasy he wanted to play out or something too. "What no! Get off of me!" Denki shook his leg, trying to get Mineta off of him. "Go bother someone else!" Denki yelled. He was sure Ruka wanted to have her fun but she didn't know what Mineta was truly capable of. He was the king of perverts.

Thankfully Bakugo grabbed the poor kid and left. Denki sighed and looked to Ruka but his smile faded. She didn't look too interested in fighting him again. Would she prefer Todoroki or Bakugo? Rubbing his neck a little, he wondered if he spoke out of turn. But he was just trying to protect her from Mineta. "I hope you don't mind me offering like that." He said as they headed off to a room that would handle her black flames and his electricity output. "I was actually hoping to catch up and see how you were doing. It's been a while since we talked..." He said, knowing that was due to his outburst a while ago after confessing his feelings. He did miss her, even just being her friend. "Are you looking forward to the dance tomorrow?"

AiAi AiAi
 
As Mela agreed to be partners today, All Might let out a small sigh of relief. He wasn't sure how it would be if Mela went against Bakugou Shounen. Now, All Might was confident in Mela's abilities, but Bakugou Shounen was known to be rather ruthless and very rough, he didn't want Mela hurt was all. Plus, he can just imagine the rage on Aizawa-kun's face if Mela actually went against Bakugou. Now that was another level of frightening. Walking to the training room, All Might let out a slight laugh at her honesty. So she wanted to go against Bakugou Shounen that much huh? All Might laughed as he jokingly said, "it's as if you want revenge for what he did to Kurotsuki Shoujo, but heroes don't go doing revenge, right?" He let out another laugh as a part of him actually thought that was what Mela meant. Hopefully, he was wrong.

As they began to do their stretches, All Might smiled over at her, "if there's anything I can help you with, just ask and it will be done!" He did his best to ignore his beating heart as the idea of him being alone in a room with Mela was largely made known to his wild mind. He really needed to calm himself down! There was no big meaning behind this, they were just being partners just as Mela wanted! He was just helping her train! They were going to face each other in a match damn it! All Might berated himself for getting excited as he turned his attention to Mela, the two sparring lightly. At her sudden question, All Might panicked slightly. As much as he would love to tell her that he had a lovely day spent with a lovely girl, that can't be because that was as Toshinori, not as All Might. And so, he answered her after a moment of thinking, "o-oh my birthday? Well, I, of course, spent it saving the day! A hero's job never ends after all ahahahaha!" W-was that believable?

Not wanting her to think any further on his answer, All Might tripped Mela's legs under her, sweeping her down and pinning her to the ground. His one large hand held her two smaller pairs above her head as his knee kept her legs separated while his other hand held her waist down. He stared into her large doe-like eyes, feeling himself become quite conscious of their positioning and also just how close they really were. His face slowly turned red as he released her, scrambling backward as he apologized, "s-sorry about that! I uh got a little carried away..." well no, him getting carried away in a fight would be him using a smash move on her. Trying to calm his racing heart, All Might held a hand out for Mela as he asked her gently, "are you alright?" Be still my heart! Just be still damn it!

Shota wasn't sure what to say or do. He was bothered by the fact that All Might stepped in and saved Mela from being partners with Bakugou. As much as Shota was thankful for All Might doing that, he was still bothered by it. Because now, Shota had a whole new thing to worry about and that was Mela spending time alone with All Might. Now, Shota wasn't the type to get jealous much, but when he knows just how much Mela adores All Might...well, he can't help but get jealous. He dodged each punch directed his way as Shota was lost in thought, wondering what the two were doing. Was Mela doing okay? Well, he supposed it was better than her going against Bakugou, but still! Shota let out a sigh as he threw Midoriya into the wall, not really putting much thought into his fight. Glancing over at Midoriya, Shota let out a sigh. Guess he'll have to actually focus and help Midoriya out. The boy did build up the courage to ask him after all.

The morning has been a wonderful teasing time for Ruka as she recalled her fun afterschool activities with Shoto in their classroom. Shoto can be such a tease. As they picked out their partners for the afternoon, Ruka nearly getting her hands on Mineta to crush him once and for all, but Denki came in. Not really minding the change in partners, Ruka blinked as Shoto walked past her and spoke to her briefly. Ruka smiled as she watched Shoto head off with Momo. She then turned her attention to Denki. She blinked a few times as he apologized. Ruka shook her head as she told him with a smile, "oh no! I don't mind at all! If anything I was hoping for a rematch against you so its perfect! It's just I wouldn't have minded crushing Mineta as well.....ah! J-just kidding ehe." Ruka rubbed the back of her head as she accidentally spilled out her little desire of wanting to forever burn the grape-headed boy into oblivion. Now, that wasn't something heroes do, right? But still...it was tempting.

As they walked over to their assigned training room, Ruka blinked in surprise at his words. A smile soon bloomed on her face as she told him happily, "I'm glad to hear that. I've been wanting to talk to you too! I missed talking to you, Kaminari-kun." She gave him a small smile, rubbing the side of her arm she told him, "I've been wanting to talk to you, but every time I do see you, you seem quite busy ehe." She's noticed how Eijiro or Kyoka would be with him and so she can never find a chance to just speak to him. Denki was a good friend to her, her first friend since she moved here and so Ruka was a bit sad when he stopped talking to her...but what can she do about it, right?

Stretching, Ruka told him, "oh, yes! The dance is tomorrow huh? Yeah, I guess I'm looking forward to it." She was so used to formal parties, Ruka wasn't sure how a high school dance would be like, she just hoped it will be more enjoyable than the parties she's been to! "I'm curious how school dances are like, have you ever been to one?" She was curious as she usually passed on going to school dances. It never was of interest to her and Mela was off with Hideo during their last school's one so she found even more of a reason not to go. As the two began a light sparring, Ruka spoke up, "so um, are you going to the dance with anyone?" She wasn't sure what compelled her to ask him this, but she was curious. Was that girl coming along? The one she's seen around Denki lately?

Soon the pair decided to incorporate their quirks into their training session. Ruka sent a flaming kick directed towards him. As Denki dodged it, he sent a bolt of lightning to her. It wasn't strong enough to knock her out, but it wasn't a weak shot either. Something she was glad for, but as she jumped up to dodge it, it hit her leg causing it to go numb. Ruka's eyes widened as she felt herself falling without much to hold herself up with. "A-Ah!" Ruka yelled out in surprise as she crashed into Denki, the two taking a tumble to the ground. Eyes squint shut, Ruka let out a small moan as that hurt. Blinking her eyes open, she felt herself on something sturdy. Huh? Holding herself up with her hands, Ruka was face to face with Denki and her eyes were wide as her mouth hung open. She was left speechless for a moment before she stuttered out while flailing her arms, "a-ah sorry!" but soon a squeak left her lips as she fell back onto him. She tried to scramble up, but her legs were still tingling. "A-ah um sorry...I think your lightning hit my leg..." Ruka mumbled out in embarrassment as she laid on top of him. Her cheeks were red as she was at a loss of what to say.

Of course she wasn't out for revenge. No, that wouldn't be very heroic right? But then again, a hero couldn't let some jerk get away with hurting someone close to them right? No no. No revenge, even if she might enjoy the fantasy of shooting Bakugo in the head, she didn't think she'd actually have the nerve to do so, damnit. Upon hearing he had spent the day saving people, she had no reason to believe otherwise, but it did worry her that All Might hadn't taken a break to at least enjoy the day. To spend it doing so much for other people, it was quite selfless but even pro heroes needed time off to enjoy the little things in life right?

Before she could say anything on the matter of All Might working too hard, she found herself being tripped and falling backwards. Landing on her back, she felt a large warm hand grab at her hands and pin them above her head, preventing her from countering as she then felt another hand press against her waist. Her eyes fluttered as she slowly realized what had actually happened. Mela's face turned red as she stared up at All Might, her mind suddenly going blank as he leaned over her body. She suddenly felt quite small and cornered. And a bit turned on~ Nooo! Mela breathe, stop drifting off into your own fantasies!

She barely even registered his words but she did notice him let go and move off of her. She felt a pang of disappointment but told herself it was good he moved. Yes, maybe now the fog would lift from her mind. "Ye-yeah I'm okay." She replied as she took his hand and got to her feet. No, tomorrow during training with Shota she could get distracted but not today! Mela glanced off for a moment before giving the man a smile. "Heh actually I was going to try and break out of your hold before you moved back." She said. Now whether or not she would have succeeded, was yet to be seen. Mela gave him a slight smirk, "I wouldn't mind trying, if that's okay?" Mela tilted her head.

Of course she wasn't sure if her ideas would really work against All Might. He was quite strong, well that was understatement. And he was obviously holding back against her. Still, she at least had to try right? Mela wondered if Midoriya was enjoying Shota as much as she would tomorrow. Probably not heheh. She gave All Might a rather innocent smile, yes she wanted to practice her ideas. It wasn't like she wanted to have him on top of her again. No no. Her intentions were good and she would stick to that statement. Besides tomorrow, she didn't see herself having much of a chance to break free of whatever web Shota trapped her in so why not try today?

There was an unmistakable flutter in his chest when Ruka mentioned that she had missed talking to him. She had? Really?! That made him so happy and he wondered if one of these days they get to eat lunch again. Even though the school lunches were top notch, he did miss her bento meals and had to be rather jealous that not only did Shoto get a great lunch but he had a great girl on his arm. That guy was so lucky. Eijiro and Kyoka had done a good job of keeping Ruka at bay while his heart recovered, but he did want to slowly try being her friend again, even if it hurt. Even if the pain was a constant dull ache, it had to go away eventually right?

"Oh no no I haven't been to one." Denki waved his hands. Growing up, despite asking girls in middle school, no one had accepted his offers for some reason. When Ruka asked if he was going to dance with anyone, his face turned red. Did...she want to dance with him? Probably not, she had Todoroki but there was some hope right? "I'm going with a friend. I'd like to dance with her." He said, a few sparks coming out of his cheeks as he rubbed his nose a little. "B-but I'd like to dance with you too if you're free." He added, avoiding her eyes, worried he might loet lose a high voltage if he caught her gaze. Soon they began to spar together, Denki making sure his volts were strong enough to give her a good challenge.

But when a spark hit her, Denki found himself catching Ruka as crashed into him. His hands moved to hold onto her waist as he thought back to how he had saved her during their training at the USJ though this time she was the one on top of him. He controlled his quirk so he didn't shock her further with his own, erm shock. Denki could smell her sweet strawberry scent and was very happy to have her to himself and not have her with Todoroki or Mineta. When she flailed and apologized, he kept his gentle hold on her, not minding the closeness. She was quite comfortable against him heh. "O-oh, I'm really sorry!" He blushed as he sat up, realizing she couldn't really move yet.

Sitting up, Denki sat her down and took the leg that was hit and began to massage the area with his hands. "Your nerves are fried so usually it just takes time to get the nerves moving again. I've found this speeds up the recovery time." He explained, his face red as his hands traveled along. He felt really bad he had caused her pain but he hoped this would make up for it. As cute as she looked in her winged costume, he did worry it would only get in her way. "I guess those wings don't give you much flight." He joked lightly as he worked his fingers and palms up along Ruka's calf, making sure not to get too much higher than above her knee. "H-how does that feel?" He asked her.

AiAi AiAi
 
That was nothing! He was just simply grappling her and pinning her to the ground...there was no ulterior motive behind his actions! No, no! Not in the slightest. All Might was having an internal panic meltdown as he tried to reason with his brain. His heart was beating like crazy while his mind was conflicted between listening to his heart to listening to his logical side of the body. His brain kept telling him it was all just his body reacting to sparring and nothing else, while his heart was telling him to pin her back down and have his way with her. No no! That is not what a hero no less a man would do! Shaking his head, All Might helped Mela up before being thrown back into his bundled mess of a brain as she asked if they can try that again. WHAT!? B-but why? He could feel his face heating up, but when Mela gives him such a face, how can he say no!?

Giving her a small smile, All Might can only nod his head as he told her with a thumbs up, "sure thing! We can do it as many times as you'd like!" No no no! What was he saying!? That just sounded so wrong but so so tempting! AHHhhhhh! Stop it All Might! Get a hold of yourself damn it! Swallowing down his desires, All Might got into a defensive position as Mela came charging over at him. In one swift motion, he had her pinned down but this time he was straddling her, careful not to put his entire weight on her, but enough to keep her down. Her legs were locked down while his hand held her wrists up again. He smirked down at her as he wagged his other hand in front of her as he asked, "now then show me what you got!" Oh, how he wished she can show him in more ways than one. BAD ALL MIGHT BAD!

- - -

When Denki asked if she'd like to dance with him, she gave him a smile as she nodded her head, "of course I'd love to dance with you!" Who said she has to only dance with Shoto? Plus she was sure she'll be bound to dance with a few friends of her's. What was the harm in that, right? When he mentioned that he was bringing a friend with him, Ruka was positive it was that girl, Namie was it? She wanted to ask him, but if he didn't want to mention anything then she won't push him to answer her. Instead, she focused on their training, but even that took a different route as she soon found herself in Denki's arms. He was warm. He was always warm she realized. Blushing, Ruka tried to sit back up only to fail as she had no strength in her legs. It wasn't completely numb, but it was tingling.

As he helped her sit back, Ruka watched as Denki began to massage her leg. She waved a hand as she told him a with a smile, "oh it's no big deal, plus I'm happy to go against you with your full voltage haha." It wasn't his full strength, she knew that, but he wasn't holding back which made her happy. Watching his hands work along her calf, Ruka squirmed as it tickled yet felt nice at the same time. A blush covered her cheeks as she let out a small sound. Her hand coming up to cover her mouth as her eyes widened. U-uh hopefully he didn't hear that! Glad for his little joke, Ruka let out a small laugh, hoping to brush that little moan off like nothing else other than a simple sound. Yeah...it was nothing! "I wish I can fly with these, but they're too small for me apparently hehe." When he asked how it was, Ruka's face turned bright as she averted her gaze as she mumbled out, "i-it's a bit ticklish...but it feels good...so um thank you."

If Mela knew of poor All Might's inner turmoil and if she didn't have an amazing boyfriend, she would have gladly said something more teasing to the struggling pro hero. All Might had no idea how sneaky and pervy Mela was, well for now she was going to keep it that way. His opinion of her mattered a great deal to Mela but she also couldn't help but take a tiny bit of an advantage given this situation. Somewhere in Mela there was a tiny villain with so many naughty ideas. Oh boy. Mela forced herself to keep looking innocent, knowing full well no one could resist her doe-eyed look. Of course, Mela was unaware she was teasing poor innocent Toshinori as well. At his comment, Mela's lips twitched, trying to hold back from a sneaky smirk. Ahh he didn't mean that, surely. All Might was totally pure and valiant. Coming towards him, she anticipated being pinned down just like last time and she was. Sort of.

Staring up, she found this was a bit different though. Whaaat?! Her face turned about eight shades of red. No, he wasn't being very fair! Oh, he was such a villain! She pouted, pushing her hips against his. Yes, she was rather trapped wasn't she? "Th-this isn't the same as last time!" Mela whined. She didn't expect him to change tactics because now her own plans were out the window, as she relied on her legs being free to hook around his neck or arm but now she couldn't move at all. "Y-you're not being fair." She arched her back, trying to get her arms free from his hold. One idea sprang to mind but Shota wouldn't approve at all so she discarded it for obvious reasons. No, she would be good. Mela managed to pull one hand free of his grasp, using it to try and get her other arm free of his hold. She knew this was only a small portion of his strength but it still amazed the girl. Gosh, he was impressive and could restrain her so easily too. Her hips pushed against his as she locked her jaw, letting out a faint moan. No, she wasn't going to give up yet, wandering mind be damned. "I never knew All Might could be so villainous~" She taunted, giving him a smirk.

- - -

Knowing that Ruka would like to dance with him, made the boy very happy. He was sure she'd dance with others too like Uede and probably guys like Iida. He hadn't even considered the fact that Bakugo would ask her. Ha, as if Bakugo could dance. Denki was hopeful that Namie would enjoy the dance. Even though they weren't going as a couple, he really wanted to make sure she had a really good time, dare he say the best time! At the same time, he wanted to make sure Ruke and Mela had a good dance, he was sure if it weren't for their cute and interesting looks, their cafe wouldn't have been much of a success. Ruka deserved to have the best night of her life and if Denki could somehow provide that albeit indirectly, he would. As his hands combed her leg, he noticed how smooth and soft her skin was. His eyes tried to stay on her lower leg, trying not to travel to far up to where the hem of her dress was, just teasing the young blonde.

Denki gazed up at her, gauging her reactions to see if he was using too much pressure but she looked to be enjoying it. Gumping, he heard a small noise. Did that mean she liked it? He didn't want to hurt her. She brought up a hand to cover her mouth before she replied to his little joke and then mentioned that it was ticklish but good. His own face turned red. If only she wasn't with Todoroki, he would have pressed further, finding that small noise she made to be very very cute. He wished he could hear more. Well, maybe he could? Or was that wrong? Yes, he would be taking advantage of her! But if she liked it and she happened to let out another noise without his intent, then that wasn't bad right? His right hand cupped her ankle gently while his left hand's knuckles traveled up and down the back and sides of her calf before he used a tiny bit of electric shocks along the top of her shin, his fingers going back down now. "So you're ticklish huh?" He couldn't help but grin a little. If only there was no Todoroki in the picture. If only. "You might not want to tell your opponent that." Denki winked at her. "Do you feel like you can stand now?" He asked her, though he really did like massaging her, he wanted to try out some new tactics now heh.
 
Feeling her hips push against his, All Might froze slightly. He clenched his jaws tightly as he bit his tongue, refraining from letting out a moan at that little contact. She was such a little tease! Did she not know what she was putting him through!? But no no no! She wasn't trying to do anything on purpose. Oh no, far from it. He was positive innocent Mela wasn't trying anything naughty...he was positive she was just trying to find a way out of his hold, just like she said she would! Yes! That was it! It wasn't anything else...it had nothing to do with her soft body pinned underneath him nor the way she would push herself against him....and was that a moan he just heard!? All Might wasn't sure what to say or do anymore. If he made eye contact with Mela right now...he wasn't sure if he can hold himself back any further. Oh, how sweet and torturous this was!

Unable to face Mela directly, All Might pushed her further down as his own hips pushed back at her, making sure she stayed down. Bad girl, no more like bad All Might! Urgh. Leaning down, he spoke into her ear as he wasn't confident about making eye contact with her anytime soon, "villainous? No no, this was far from being villainous...unless you wanted me to play the villain role?" What was he even saying!? T-that was not what he wanted to say! His forehead knocked against the ground beside Mela's head as he let out a loud sigh, a puff of air hitting the shell of her ear as he tried to contain his breathing. He was letting his mind run wild and that was not good! Get a grip!

- - -

Ruka's face was quite red as she can't believe she was letting herself enjoy this massage, he was just trying to help her! Nothing more, nothing else damn it! She tried to keep her sounds to a bare minimum as she kept a tight seal on her lips or at least distract herself with something else. Feeling a bit of electricity running through her, Ruka let out another small moan, that felt...shockingly good. She pouted over at Denki, he was teasing her now dang it. At the mention of her being ticklish, Ruka can only shake her head as she said, "u-uh n-no! I-I'm not that ticklish!" It was a lie...but one she will go with since she wasn't sure how he would react if she said his massages were just too good. She half wondered if Shoto can give a nice massage too? He probably could with that hot and icy quirk of his. Heh.

Blinking as Denki stopped, Ruka almost let out a whine that he shouldn't have stopped, but no no...she shouldn't go saying that. Instead, she focused on the training. Yes, thats what they were here for! Standing up, Ruka shook her leg as she looked down in slight awe. Smiling over at Denki, she nodded her head, "yes! I'm all good now, thank you!" Standing across from Denki, the two resumed their training once more. Ruka trying not to think back to that moment as she deemed him to have quite the skillful set of hands. Erm...what? No, stop that. That was just weird, Ruka. Shaking her head, she sent a kick and punch his way, hoping to distract herself with the training.

Genkai Genkai
 
Feeling his hips retaliate against hers, she shivered. Why did she ask for this again? Oooh, the trouble she got herself into. Put a stop to this, Mela! You have a boyfriend! But this wasn't cheating. No this was just training. Very close combat training. Yeah. Mela felt her heart beginning to thud rapidly against her chest as his deep voice lavished her ear, he seemed rather curious about her statement, almost as if he was amused. Ah...ah did she want him to take a villain role? "W-well..." Noo! She bit down on her lower lip, telling herself to stay focused. The only trouble she wanted was the kind that Shota gave her. Yes. But still, she felt quite frozen in place and was finding it hard to fight back. Her freed hands moved up along his large arms and shoulders. Focus!

Mela let out another tiny moan when his breath tickled her ear. Mela blinked a few times. Oh wait...wait this was her chance! But was this really fair? Yes! Sighing, she enjoyed his weight and warmth for one more moment before she leaned her head back and headbutted him before she pushed him over as she jumped back a few feet, no longer feeling like she was melting heh. Oh he felt so good. Rubbing her forehead, she grumbled. Why did she have to remind herself they were supposed to be fighting? "Or maybe I'm the villainous one here?" Mela grinned at him, taking a few deep breaths. Mela ran at him, aiming a few punches his way, not done with him yet. Mela was going to prove she was the one in control here, not All Might!

- - -

Denki couldn't help himself. Ruka sounded so cute and looked so flushed. Besides he was told by Eijiro these sorts of massages help with stress and acted like some kind of electric acupuncture. Of course he didn't think massaging Eijiro was as nice as it was massaging Ruka. When the pink haired hero attempted to deny how ticklish she was, Denki couldn't help but give her a look of glee. Oh yes, that was valuable information for him. A hero mustn't divulge such secrets to the enemy! And considering how strong Ruka was, Denki had no issues with using whatever means necessary to win. It wasn't manly but a weakness was a weakness right? He had to keep Ruka on her cute little toes! He helped her up and they stood back to get back to their training. Right, they had a limited amount of time to warm up and train and they were warming up plenty now heh.

When Ruka came at him, Denki was ready to dodge. He aimed a punch her way but she dodged it. When she aimed another kick, he grabbed her leg and pulled her toward him, knocking her off balance as his other hand moved up along her leg, his touches light as he tested to see just how ticklish Ruka was. He then pushed her back, using his quirk to send a wave of volts out from him acting like a barrier to prevent her from getting close. Denki was feeling oh so confident now! When the electric waves faded away into the air, he found Ruka coming at him again this time with a fiery punch. He ran spun around her, a kick aimed for her legs to knock her down before he pinned her, his legs on either side of her lower back as he leaned over her, chuckling. "Heh that was close. You almost got me!" He noted as he leaned over and tickled along her exposed shoulders.

AiAi AiAi
 
His mind was running amock as he had no clue what to say or do. When he heard her small moan, All Might froze as he felt his entire face turn red as his chest tightened in joy and pain. As he was conflicted between focusing on the training aspect and enjoying this close proximity with Mela. He blinked a few times, as a sweet smell wafted up to his nose. Was that...vanilla? As he just realized she smelled like vanilla, a sudden headbutt came hitting him on his forehead. All Might stumbled backward and let out a small groan. Ouch...that kind of hurt. He blinked a few times in quite the daze. She was clever, that much he will give to her. Clever and sweet. Heh.

Shaking aside his thoughts, All Might dodged her punches and hits as he moved side to side. Despite his large size, All Might was actually quite nimble on his feet. As she punched once more, All Might moved to the side, reaching his hand out he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his chest. Wrapping an arm around her waist, All Might grinned down at her as he kept her close while letting out a laugh, "now how will you get out of this one?" He smirked down at her. He realized just how much smaller she is compared to him...and how her body felt quite soft. No! Bad All Might! Stop! He should not be thinking like this! No no, he was just trying to help Mela with her training, that was it!

- - -

Ruka let out a sound when he pulled her to him by her leg. When he touched her leg, she let out a squeak as it tickled as his electricity ran along her leg. Her eyes went wide as she jumped back in time to avoid the volts of electricity surrounding him. Shaking her leg, Ruka pouted over at Denki. He was now teasing her way too much now! Flaming up her fist, Ruka rushed forward, determined to punch him with a flaming fist. She didn't expect him to knock her off her feet with a kick. A gasp left her lips as she felt the wind knocked out of her as she fell on her stomach. Grunting, Ruka tried to get back up only to find that she was stuck.

She let out a sound when she felt a soft touch to her bare shoulders. She squirmed under his hold as she let out a small whine, "Kaminari-kun~" As he continued his tickling ministrations, the touches were so light and fleeting, Ruka felt her face feeling hot as she let out a small moan. Biting her lip, Ruka grabbed his hands, pulling him down as she flipped onto her back. Well...that was a mistake. She let out sound as Denki fell on top of her, his electricity lightly coursing through her. Ruka squirmed underneath him as she let out a small laugh, "i-it tickles."

Genkai Genkai
 
Now if he would just stop moving, she could actually land a hit and then she would be satisfied with the idea that this was training and not weirdly distracting. Maybe she should have swapped with Midoriya? Too late now. Mela had settled her thoughts and was feeling a lot more in control of her mind and body now. Yes, she was going to do well today and she could just not think about being pinned down by All Might and she'd be fine. Yes. Mela gave him a glare as she felt All Might's hand grab her wrist and pulled her against him, his other arm snaking around her waist. Wh-what was he doing?! All clarity left her mind once again as she gritted her teeth, her face once again becoming quite hot. It was almost suffocating.

She pouted at his comment and smirk. He looked a little too pleased with himself. Sure, brag about catching a cute little kitten like Mela, not much of a brag though. Whining softly, she tried pulling her arm out of his grasp, even using her free hand but he wouldn't budge. If she used her legs, she didn't see it mattering much. Pressing herself against him, she arched her neck up and made a move to bite his hand holding her wrist but All Might noticed this. Darn. "A-All Might, What am I supposed to do?" She huffed, her face still red. Reaching up with her free hand, her hand brushed the side of his face. "I could just try gouging your eye out." Mela suggested. But she was very open to suggestions, trying not to let her mind wander as to how small she felt in his arms or how comfortable he was.

- - -

Maybe he was teasing her too much now? He certainly considered that but he didn't want either of them using too much of their quirk before their match in front of everyone else began. He was making sure not to use too much of his quirk so he didn't exert himself too much too soon. He could get a boost from Kyoka he supposed but he just enjoyed having some harmless fun with Ruka. He doubted she and Todoroki really had a lot of goofy moments. From what Denki could tell, Todoroki was pretty stuffy and stoic so Denki wanted to make sure Ruka remembered to have fun and smile as much as possible. Not take life too seriously. Denki wanted her to always find something to be happy about.

"Hai, Ruka-chan?" He laughed at her, hearing her whine. Nothing wrong with having fun right and he could tell she was enjoying herself, even if she denied it. Her body was responding quite well to his touches. He knew Eijiro wasn't ticklish and he had a feeling Namie may be. For a moment, he had to wonder how she was doing. He couldn't wait to see her tomorrow for their big dance! He suddenly noticed Ruka had rolled over and pulled him onto her while he was distracted. Oh no! His volts lightly coursed through her as he looked down at her, beginning to laugh as well. Yes, he really did like that laugh of hers. And god, that smile too. It wasn't fair Todoroki kept her all to himself but...he didn't blame the guy. "Say the magic word and I'll stop." Denki winked, moving to boop her on the nose, sending her a very light shock. Hopefully she didn't mind this kind of fun, but he thought it would be good for them to just laugh again.

AiAi AiAi
 
Seeing her helpless inside of his embrace...she just looked so cute! No, wait that's not the point here! Pushing such thought aside, All Might looked back down at Mela and held back a groan. No no, she was very much cute...there was no denying it there. Ah, Aizawa-kun was so lucky! All Might shook his head, no! Why was he getting jealous? That wasn't the point of all this either! Looking back at her as she whined and struggled in his hold, he didn't budge. Easily dodging her hits as he kept a firm grip on her. Ah, she was so warm and soft and smelled like vanilla...wait! No! Stop it already! Holding back a sigh, All Might tried to find his reasoning behind this. The excuse that will let him live another day. He blinked as she whined about being unable to escape. A-ah did he make it that tough for her?

Though upon feeling her hand brush up to his face, he froze. W-what was she doing!? He could feel his face heat up as his heart thumped loudly in his chest. He was afraid she might just hear his racing heart. "H-huh?" He let out in a slight daze before snapping out of it. A-ah yes! A question! Good idea!....but when she mentioned gouging his eyes out, he blinked. What? He felt a bit of panic stir inside of him as he noted her to be looking quite serious about that. Whoa, hold on. Caaaalm down! He didn't even think she was capable of such gruesome tactics...but he should not judge a book by its cover after all! "U-uh l-let's try to not do that...let's see...oh! Well, one way is to use their body against themselves!" It worked better on smaller people too so it was perfect for Mela! "So basically, as I am holding you down like this, you try to shift your body so that you can have a leverage of my own weight and then you use it against me! Try it out!" Jokingly, he lightly squeezed his arms around her as he told her, "I won't let go otherwise~" He was joking of course, but maybe that'll get her moving?

As the gentle electricity coursed through her body in tingling waves, Ruka couldn't stop the giggles escaping her lips. It felt very tickling yet oh so warm at the same time. Denki truly was a kind and warm person. Hearing Denki laugh along with her just made her laugh even more as Ruka could only squirm underneath the blonde, trying to escape but to no avail. Giggling, she heard his words, but what was the magic word with him? Everyone's was different right? Scrunching her nose up as he lightly touched it, Ruka let out another wave of giggles as she told him, "n-no!" Instead, she pushed him forward, pushing him back onto his back as she held him down. The electricity was still running through her as she giggled, clothes become a bit static along with her hair because of all the little volts running around.

Eyes shining deviously, Ruka licked her lips as she told Denki, "now then, Denki-kun~ Tell me, are you ticklish?" Because it was time for revenge! Ruka smirked as she reached down and began to tickle him along his arms and even his neck. She'll find his ticklish spot. "Is it here~? Or maybe here?" She let out a light laugh. She missed this, the easy-going moments she had with Denki. He was always an easy going and fun guy in her opinion. Sharing a laugh with him was always enjoyable for the Pinkette. Laughing a bit more with him, Ruka smiled down at him, knocking her forehead against his gently as she looked into his eyes, "I missed laughing with you like this you know." She gave him a soft smile before pinching his cheek as she tickled his sides which she found out was his weak spot. "Gotcha!" Ruka let out as she laughed lightly. "Say the magic word and I'll stop~" Ruka sang out the same words he said to her earlier as she smirked down at him.
