3rd POV

Noya walked into the mall with Candy. "Where do you wanna go first Noya?" Noya just shrugs, and Candy hums, "clothes or shoes?"

"C-clothes I guess" Noya mutters.

Candy smiles, "now all we have to do is wait for Mina and Shock boy." Candy smiles, and waves, spotting the two walking together. He smiles, "hey pinky, shock boy."

"Hey guys!" Karmianri says.

Mina waves at us, "you guys ready?" She asks.

"No," Noya replies.

Candy looks at Noya, "oh?" Noya looked down, and Candy looked worriedly at Noya, "you ok? We can go somewhere else if you don't want to go to the mall." Mina and Karminari nod their head in agreement.

"Really?" Noya asks, her eyes widening.

Candy nods, "I don't want you to feel uncomfortable, since this is all for you, where do you want to go?"

"Somewhere not crowded," she says.

Candy hums, looking at Mina and Karminari, "any ideas?"

"Uh a thrift store maybe?" Kami asks.

Candy looks at Kami, "what the freak is a thrift store?"

"It's like a place that sells clothes and other stuff at a marked down price and not usually crowded," he explains.

Candy nods, looking back at Noya, "what'd you think?"

"We can try it," Noya shrugs.

Candy smiles, "to the thrift store! Lead the way Kami!" Kami nods leading the way.

TIMESKIP TO THE THRIFT STORE

"We're here!" Mina exclaims.

Candy looks around, "yeah, they are cheap, hopefully still in good condition through." He mutters.

"They normally are," Kami says.

Candy hums, "let's go in." He looks back at Noya, "call us if you need us." Noya nods and walks inside while taking a deep breath. Candy placed a hand on her shoulder, giving it a reassuring squeeze. "I'll be here."

"I haven't been out of my house in five years exepct to go to the LOV base" Noya mutters.

Candy looks down at her sadly, but grins at her nonetheless, "I'm glad we can be your first," he says, giving her shoulder another gentle squeeze.

Noya nods "let's just get this over with."

Candy walks in after Noya, "we are so gonna pamper you."

Noya chuckles "I'll find a way to pay y'all back"

Candy shakes his head, "not needed." He grins at her, "just enjoy yourself." She sighs and nods. Candy spots a white dress, "hey Noya, do you like dresses?"

"Yea, I do," she says.

Candy nods, and grabs the dress, handing it to Noya, "here, try it on." Noya went into the dressing room and tried on the dress. "So, how is it?" Noya walked out to show him, and Candy gasped, "we're so getting that for you."

Noya chuckles "you think it looks good on me?"

Candy nodded, looking around, to see if there were other dresses, he grins grabbing a navy blue one. "Yeah, it looks really good on you, here try this one on." Candy says, handing her the dress. She nodded and went to try on the navy blue dress. "So?" Candy asks, excitement in his voice. Noya walked out, and Candy hummed. "The white one looked better." Noya nods in agreement and Candy's eyes sparkled. "You think so too huh?" He asks, and she nods. Walking to the cashier, Candy looks at Noya, "anything else catch your eye?"

"No," Noya says.

"You sure?" Candy asks.

Noya looks down, "well actually, I saw some really cute boots," she mutters.

Candy smiled at her, "then let's go get them!"

"Are you sure?" Noya asks, looking up. Candy nodded, and Noya went to grab the boots.

"Did you try them on?" He asks, and Noya shakes her head. "I'll do it now" she says, trying the boots on, and they fit perfectly. Candy's eyes sparkled, "they would look perfect with that dressed. She smiled and walked up to the cashier.

"I like your smile," Candy says, softly.

"Thanks."

"Come on, let's go pay." Candy says, softly, as he looks around, "I wonder where pinky and shock boy went."

3rd POV

Noya nods and goes up to the cashier "i-i wanna uh b-buy uh uh uh....." she freezes. Candy tilted his head, a light bulb going off in his head. Understanding what was happening, he went up to Noya, placing a hand on the small of her back. Noya began to shake "uh uh."

"You ok?" Candy whispers.

Noya shook her head no, as her breathing quickens. Candy grabbed her shoulder, gently turning her around. "Hey, hey listen to my voice, calm down, just breath." He said softly. Noya closed her eyes, and tried to take deep breaths, but instead it came out as weezing, as she also began to shake. "Noya, I need you to listen to me, to follow my voice, breath in." I tell her, as I also take a deep breath in, and Noya also took a deep breath in. "Breath out slowly," I tell her, as I let my breath out, and Noya did so as well. "Ok, let's do it one more time, yeah?" He asks, and she nods. "Breathe in." I say, as I breathe in, and Noya breathes in as well. "Breath out." He hums as he lets the breath out, and so does Noya. "Better?" He asks.

She nodded, but was still shaking slightly, she looked at him, "c-can you handle b-buying it p-please?"

Candy nodded and took the items from her, "sure thing."

"T-thank you," she mutters, as she sits down on a bench.

Candy walked up to the cashier, placing the items on the counter. The cashier scans the items and looks at her, "that'll be 2.55 please." She says, and Candy nodded, handing her the money.

The cashier gave Candy the items, and he walked back over to Noya, "here."

"T-thanks" she mutters.

Candy smiles, "where do you wanna go next?"

"The dorms"

"Back at U.A.?"

Noya nods, "I can't handle going anywhere else."

Candy nodded, "ok, but can we stop somewhere else on our way back?" Noya took a deep breath and nodded. "Don't worry, it won't get crowded there." He says, walking to the flower store in front of the thrift store. Noya nodded, as she followed.

Candy's POV

I walked around the flower store with Noya, looking for a certain flower, until I spotted it, "buff beauty." I mutter, under my breath. I bought the three pieces of the flower, and walked to the exit, "ready Noya?" She nods, and we both walk out together. After about ten minutes of walking, we reach our destination, the cemetery. "We're here"

"I'll just wait for you here," Noya says and I nod, walking over to the grave where my service dog was buried. I placed the flowers down, giving a sad smile, before walking back over to Noya.

"Thanks for waiting."

She nodded, "of course."

We started walking and I looked at her, "not curious?"

She shook her head "it's your business."

I smiled, but still told her nonetheless, "that was my service dog, her died here when we came for vacation, I didn't want her to lay in Korea, so I decided to let her lay here." I explain, looking up at the sky.

"...Oh..."

I chuckled, and looked at her, "I'm not ill I swear, she was just there to look over my sugar levels when my quirk first appeared." I looked in front of me, "She's like this meter, she would give me candy or something sweet when my sugar levels dropped, and sometimes she would make me chase her to drop my sugar levels, I was a mess."

"You don't have to explain and you aren't a mess"

I looked at her, "you should tell that to my old school." I pause, "thanks again, just dumping all that on you."

"No it's fine i don't mind"

"Want ice cream?"

"No thanks "

"You sure?" I ask, and she nods. We end up just walking back to the dorms together. I turned to her, "do we have homework?"

"I don't know" She responds, and I sigh.

I picked her up, and started sprinting back to the dorms, thankfully I had long legs. I looked at her and grinned, "we better get back faster, just in case." Noya nodded, and I saw her legs were still shaking.

TIMESKIP TO THE DORMS

3rd POV

Candy placed Noya down gently "we're here." Noya nodded and walked inside sitting on the couch. Candy walked in behind her, and went to the kitchen, spotting Shoto and Bakugo, he waved. "Hey guys,"

"Hey" bakugo replies, and Shoto just nodded in acknowledgement.

Candy opened the fridge, grabbing two juice boxes, he turned to the other two, "right do we have homework?" He asks,the other two.

"Don't think so," bakugo says. Candy nods, and walks past him, poking his cheek, as he walks back to the living room to give Noya one of them. Bakugo rolled his eyes at this, and went back to doing what he was doing. Shoto looked at Bakugo and wiggled his eyebrows, giving him a cheeky smile.

In the living room, Noya had taken the juice box from Candy and sighed, as she sat it on the coffee table, and brought her knees to her chest. Candy sat down beside her, placing his legs on the coffee table, he turned to look at her, "you ok?" He asks, poking his juice box.

"I will be later" She mumbles. Candy looked at her, tilting his head, and Noya looked around "Shoto cone over here," she called out. Shoto walked over, and she hugged him out of the blue. Taking the hint, Candy stood up, and walked out of the room.

Noya's POV

Shoto went rigid before hugging me back.

"Sorry i just really needed a hug" I mumble

Shoto pulled me to the couch, "how was your day?"

"I-I freaked out and couldn't talk" I looked down. Shoto looked at me and nodded, so I continued. "I had an anxiety attack in front of candy"

"What did Candy do?" He asks.

"He helped me calm down a bit."

Shoto smiled, "did you have fun?"

"A little bit"

Shoto smiles, "that's nice." He says, looking behind him, then back at me, "what did you buy?"

"You'll see on saturday" I grin. Shoto quirked his eyebrows, his cheeks dusting pink, and I chuckled at his response. At this point, Shoto was beat red, so red that his fireside started to flicker a bit. "Shoto can I ask you something?" He nods, and I look at him, "Do you actually care for me? Or is it just a cruel joke? Or pretend?"

Shoto looked at me, bringing a hand to my cheek, "it's not a cruel joke or any of that, I really genuinely like you, I may be bad at expressing my feelings and all that, but I know that everything I do for you is real, none of that is fake," he says, cupping my cheeks gently. I nod my head glad to head it, my anxiety had been telling me he didn't care. He held me tighter, "please remember that, we don't have to be together after Saturday, we could take this slow, I'll wait for you," he says, smiling down at me. I nod not sure what I wanted, he looked at me, "do you like cuddles?"

"I dont know"

He grins, "wanna find out?"

"Uh sure, but I dunno how to cuddle "

He picked me up bridal style, "wanna go to my room?" I was smiling, and laid my head on his chest. "Welcome to my room," he says, as we enter his room.

"It looks nice"

"Thanks, I worked hard on it." He says, sitting me down on the bed. Shoto laid down on one side, and patted the space beside him, so I crawled over and laid down beside him. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close. I scooted closer to him, nuzzling him, and he buried his face in my hair, "this is nice."

"It really is" I mutter, agreeing with him.

"Have you eaten already? The class already had dinner."

"Yea, I ate," I lie, since I didn't feel like eating.

Shoto hummed, "what did you eat?"

"Uh...." i think "a potato"

He hummed again, "should I ask Candy what y'all ate?" He asks, going to grab his phone.

"No you dont need too" I mutter

"Then did you really eat a potato?"

"Yea" I lie.

Shoto sighed, standing up, "come on, I'll make you a sandwich." He says, pulling back a bit.

"Noooooo come back"

He smiled softly, we'll come back after you eat something, even if it's just small...ok?"

"I'm not hungry through."

He sighed and picked me up, shaking his head, "you didn't eat dinner, you'll get hungry later, and you are already an unhealthy thin." He reminds me, and I pout. "Nope, no pouting missy," he says, rubbing my arm.

I blush and sigh "fine I'll eat something."

Shoto carried me down to the kitchen and placed me on the counter, "wait here."

I sigh "i'm really not hungry. " He just ignores me, and continues making the sandwich. He placed the sandwich on the plate, and handed it to me, putting his arms on either side of me, so I was trapped, I couldn't leave. I held the plate in my hands and stared at it, and Shoto stared at me, like he was waiting for me to eat.

"We can stay here the whole night Noya," he says, as he looks at me.

"Im not hungry."

He looked down at the sandwich, then back up at me, "ten bites?" He tries to bargain. I groan and give in beginning to eat, I didn't wanna stay here the whole night. Shoto smiled at me, as I ate. I close my eyes trying to keep the nausea down. After I ate ten bites, he handed me a warm cup of milk, "two sips is all I need." I sigh and drink a few sips, Shoto then takes the cup, finishing the milk, and washing the cup and plate, he turns to me, "how's that?"

"I dont wanna cuddle anymore....or sleep....or move."

Shoto looks at me worriedly, "was it too much...? Be honest."

"I feel like I'm gonna throw up."

Shoto nods, "that's normal, your parents deprived you, it'll take time for your body to adjust." He says, picking me up slowly.

"This is why i didnt wanna eat"

"But not eating is also not good." He sighs, as we head back to his room, "I guess ten bites were just too much." He looks at me, "if you can't handle ten bites, please tell me, I don't want to force you." He squeezes my arm a bit, "please?"

"I don't know what i can handle."

Shoto hummed, "at least we know now, right?"

"Yea i guess"

"Come on, let's stop by your room, so you can change." I nod, and we head to my room. He opens the door, "did you not redecorate?"

"I don't own anything"

He grinned, lifting up the bag from the thrift store, "now you do."

"Give me that" I say, taking it from him. "I said, you have to wait till Saturday." I chuckle playfully.

Shoto grins, "don't worry, I didn't look in it.

I chuckle and put the bag on my bed "good." I smile getting pajamas out of my dresser. "Could you uh turn around?" He nodded, turning around, and facing the door. I quickly change clothes "ok you can turn back around now." He turned back around, and I looked at him.

He smiles, walking up to me, wrapping his arms around my waist, "you look very cuddleable right now" he whispers.

"Can we still cuddle?" I ask shyly. He nods, blushing. "Let's go then" I say, exiting my room.

He looks at me, "where are you going?"

"I thought you wanted to cuddle in your room? I mean if u wanna do it in here that's fine.I chuckle "I figured you would rather your room, it has more stuff in it anyways"

"No, no, my room, we're going to my room." He announced, walking up to me, and picking me up bridal style again. He smiled, and walked to his room. We got there and he sat me down on the bed, "wait here, I'm gonna change" he says, walking up to his dresser, grabbing a shirt and sweats, then heads to the bathroom. A few minutes later, he comes back out, with his pajamas on, and laid down, once again patting the space beside him. I once again crawled over and laid beside him. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close, "this feels nice."

I snuggled close to him and nodded "yes it does." He once again buried his face in my hair, not saying anything else.

"Good night Noya," he whispers.

"Night shoto" I whisper back falling asleep.

Candy's POV

I look behind me to see Bakugo staring at me, "yes?"

"Want some fucking company?" Bakugo asks.

I shrugged, "I dunno." He rolls his eyes. I opened my arms, "want a hug?" He gave me a hug, and I think he secretly enjoyed it. I pulled back from the hug, and lifted Bakugo's face, squishing his cheeks in the process, and I saw that he was blushing a bit. I just stared at him, admiring his facial features.

"Oi! Why you staring?" He asked.

"Just admiring your beauty" I hum, and he blushes beat red. I giggled at his red cheeks, squishing his cheeks.

He smacks my hand "don't squish my cheeks." I whined, but released some of the pressure, and he smiled at me. Bakugo grabbed my hand and dragged to his dorm room

I started to freak out, "whe-where are y-you taking me..?

"We're going to cuddle" he says, to me, blushing a bit as he says it.

"H-huh??? C-cu-cuddle?" I stutter out, blushing like crazy.

"Yes cuddle," he says, and I just let him drag me, my face as red as a tomato. We got to his room, and he pulled me into his room, closing the door, and laid down, also pulling me down onto the bed. I laid there beside him, not sure what I'm supposed to do next. He snaked his arms around my waist, and I hesitantly wrapped my arms around his neck, burying my face in his air.

Bakugo smiled a bit, and closed his eyes, so I started to play with his hair, "it's so soft" I giggled out. "You're a cuddle bug, huh?" I ask, grinning.

"Tell anyone about this and i'll kill you." I chuckled, and hugged him tighter. "Hey, Candy...what are we?"

I shrugged, "what do you want us to be? We don't have to move fast, it is only the second week of school," I remind him.

"I know that," he mutters.

"So that means we don't have to be anything" I point out.

"Alright."

"Sleepy?" I ask, since he was almost asleep.

"Yea it's already 8:30" he mutters.

I laughed, "nerd" I mumble, poking his cheeks.

"Shut up" he grumbles.

I laughed even harder, "you're so cute, Mr.s Porcupine."

"Shut up," he grumbles again. I giggled at his response, humming, I buried my face into his hair again.

I smiled softly, feeling his breath even out, "good night Bakugo" I mumble, as I fall asleep.
