(Denki's POV)

I stopped to catch my breath after running 50 laps around the park. Training sure is tiring, but it'll be worth it.... eventually. A certain girl came into mind. What's she doing right now? Wonder if she came up with an answer to my confession yet.

It's just about lunch time, I should stop by a café and grab a bite, maybe buy some coffee for Kyoka? Yeah, that sounds good!

As I entered the cafe I noticed a boy with striking violet hair, looking pretty tired despite the amount of caffeine he seemed to have indulged. I call out to him, having recognised my friend from class C.

"Hiya, Shinsou! Whatcha doing here?" I asked, waving.

"Oh, it's you, Kaminari," He nodded in my direction. "What brings you here?"

"Lunch, I was nearby, so I thought it'd be easier to get a bite on the way back. Can I join you?"

"Sure, could use the company."

Shinsou is a little dull sometimes and had a bit of a cold attitude but he's a good friend and I really admire his determination to join the hero course despite people looking down on him because of his villain-like quirk, it's not his fault he's born with it.

I ordered a burger with miso soup (a weird combination but it actually tastes good, to me at least), some lemon tea and a coffee for Kyoka. I'll drop by her dorm later when I get back.

It was getting awfully quiet, so I decided to make some small talk.

"So, how's the progress with getting into the hero course?" I inquired.

Shinsou chugged down his remaining coffee and shrugged. "Not too bad, I'm getting there. Aizawa sensei might let me join your class, if I'm lucky."

"Good luck then," I smiled, giving him a thumbs up.

"I'm gonna take my leave now. See you," Shinsou stated, looking at his watch.

"Yup, bye then!" I continued chowing down my food. Better head back to the dorms soon before Kyoka's pumpkin spice latte gets cold.

(Jirou's POV)

I was studying with Momo in my dorm, namely algebra and physics. Math. It just doesn't make sense to me, who invented it anyway? I pouted in frustration as I tried to solve a very complicated problem. Momo peeked over my shoulder at my progress, then picked up my worksheet and frowned as she examined it.

"No, no, Kyoka-chan. You should move the 'x' there, then you substitute the 'z' with your answer from the previous step here," Momo pointed out, marking the parts I'm supposed to correct with her pencil.

"I freakin' hate math," I growled, irritated. "It doesn't make sense. It's nonsense and unnecessary."

Momo put a hand on my shoulder. "There, there, it takes practice and patience. It's important for your future, for money, accounting, loans, salaries, budgeting-" I stopped her there. I don't really want to hear any more about math and money. Yaomomo has it easy, being born with a silver spoon in her mouth and she could probably create money with her quirk if she wanted to.

I flopped onto a chair, feeling tired and stressed... I could kill for some coffee right now, maybe a nice pumpkin spice latte. I bolted up as soon a I heard knocking on the door and opened it to reveal Denki who shot me a bright grin. I tried to suppress my giggles... he looked like a puppy! That was merged with Pikachu. A Pikapup?

"Heya, Kyoka! Yaoyorozu," He smiled, then noticed the stack of books overflowing from my desk. "You guys studying?"

"Yeah, math," I said, feeling frustrated all over again. "It's all bogus."

Denki gave a slight chuckle. "Yeah, I can relate, it's all an alien language to me. Oh yeah, here." He pushed a cup of coffee into my hands. "Pumpkin spice latte's your favorite, right? I was at a café for lunch and I thought you might want some coffee."

"Yeah, I love it, thank you. Are you my guardian angel?"

The blond boy flushed, making me blush realizing what I just said. "I-i, mean, uh...!" I tried explaining but my mouth couldn't seem to even form a proper sentence.

"Heh, maybe I am," he said, nervously rubbing the back of his neck. "Do you want to uh, study at a café sometime? I know I'm an idiot and no help at all so you don't have to-"

"Sure, I'm down."

Denki beamed, blinding me with all the sunshine he's radiating. "YEA- I meant, cool!" He gave out an awkward laugh. He cleared his throat. "So how about tomorrow at five, after school? We meet at the common area."

"Alright, sounds perfect" I nodded my head.

"Yay! See you, then," Before I knew it, he gave me a quick kiss on the forehead and left. What. Just. Happened?

I heard a snicker from behind me. I forgot Yaomomo's still here.

"Looks like you're booked for a date with your boyfriend. I'm proud," she gushed, making blood rush to my cheeks.

"Yaomomo! It isn't like that! We aren't an item!"

"Yet."

I pushed her comment aside. "The thing is, I don't even know how I feel about him yet. I've never thought of him than more than a friend 'til he confessed to me!"

Momo rested her hands on my shoulders. "Kyoka-chan, you need to figure out what you feel, and soon. Who knows, he might be snatched away by someone else by the time you make a decision," she scolded.

"I'll try, Momo." I sighed in defeat.

"Great! Now, where were we? Don't you think I forgot about studying." She sat down and started writing down problems for me to solve.

The whole world just decided to turn against me, huh?

(Shinsou' POV)

Aizawa Sensei: Your hard work paid off. Fill in the paperwork and give it to me tomorrow. I'll be expecting you in my class tomorrow, don't be late.

I looked at the text that was just delivered to my phone. I've been a class C student for almost two years now, but not anymore. I've finally done it, I'm now officially a student in the hero course.

I raised the form to my face to inspect the tiny printing and filled in the fields and signed my signature. I'll be transferring to class A tomorrow. No more being seen as a villain. No more being teased for my quirk. Best of all, I'll be seeing more of the person I love. Kaminari Denki.

I've had a crush on him since the day we were teamed up for the Joint Training Battle. He's one of the first people that ever supported me and even defended me when I was picked on by that Bakugou kid, though I can handle him myself. Kaminari even thought my quirk was cool. It made me happy that I was able to see him today.

I glanced at a selfie we took together last year.

"I can't wait for tomorrow, Kaminari."
