"Time for a quiz." Aizawa Sensei spoke from his sleeping bag.

You groaned along with the class. "What did we do to deserve thissss," asked Kaminari. Aizawa shot a glare at him. "Education is exceedingly important if one wishes to become a hero."

"I thought the point of being a hero was to get chicks," stated Mineta. The sticky balls on top of his head bounced a little as he spoke.

"That's enough, Mineta," said Asui. "Your reasons are so shallow. No one wants to hear you talk about them."

"That hurts, Tsuyu!" Said a shocked Mineta, his mouth hanging open. "Is it so wrong to want to have girls?"

"If your reasons are lewd, then yes, Mineta," answered Asui.

"If I may interrupt..." interjected Aizawa. "We are taking a quiz."

His gaze swept around the room. Silence fell. You had a hard time keeping from laughing.

Aizawa wriggled out of his pill bug-resembling position and turned to Ida.

"Pass these out." He handed him a stack of quiz papers.

"Yes, Aizawa Sensei!" Chanted Ida, turning to give one to Bakugo, who took it grudgingly, then picked up his pencil and started twirling it between his fingers.

Ida went on to pass out the papers to everyone in the class. You took yours, and waited for the signal to start.

At last, Aizawa Sensei zipped himself into his sleeping bag and lay down, planning to nap until the end. He said, "you may begin," then closed his eyes and fell asleep at once.

You looked down at your test paper. It swam before your eyes. You rubbed them and yawned, putting a hand over your mouth to conceal it. Ashido smiled at you from the left. You smiled back and looked down at the test paper. You stared at the first question: "How can you tell the difference between a Power-up quirk and a Muscle-enhancing quirk?"

You squinted at the page. I know this... you thought. You glanced up, checking Aizawa for signs of movement. There were none. You directed your (e/c) eyes to the right, where Todoroki sat, and stared at the back of his head, willing him to comprehend the depths of your love for him.

After a minute you snapped back to reality and fixed your eyes to the test again. You answered the first question and read the second. It was easy. You wrote the answer and then promptly scanned the whole page and answered all the easy questions, just to head them off.

The others were working hard too. Yaoyorozu was almost finished. Kaminari and Ashido were struggling. Todoroki was completely unreadable. He moved from one question to the next, unmoved.

By the time fifteen minutes passed, everyone except Kaminari had finished. He was almost done.

Then Aizawa Sensei called out, without opening his eyes. "Three minutes." Kaminari flung his pencil on his desk and grinned widely, turning over his paper. He turned to smirk at you, as if  to say, "look how smart I am".

You rolled your eyes and finger-gunned him. He grabbed his neck and made choking sounds, pretending to die. You smiled to yourself and grabbed your pencil, starting to doodle on the back of the paper.

Aizawa Sensei's eyes flashed open. "Time's up. Hand them in, everyone."

The scraping of chairs was cacophonous, and you gritted your teeth, scooting yours back slowly. Grabbing your test, you placed it on Aizawa's desk.. Then you walked back to your own (much smaller) desk and lifted your bag up. Someone tapped your shoulder, and you turned to see Kaminari standing close behind you.

"Hey, (L/n). I wanted to ask you if you'd like to get pizza with me today?" He grinned at you, a slight pink tint creeping up his cheeks. "A new place just opened up, y'see, and I'd rather go see it with someone I like than with the squad."

You blinked. Was he asking you out? Okay, it was pretty obvious he was asking you out. How do I respond to this? I like Todoroki. But I don't want to hurt him...

As you silently agonized over it, your belly growled. Kaminari chuckled. "Your stomach is saying yes! Please, (L/n), don't you want to get to know each other better?"

You fidgeted with the hem of your skirt. "Sorry, Kaminari, but I have plans with the girls." You searched for Mina by the exit. Spotting her, you jerked your head in Kaminari's direction with pleading eyes. Ashido was at your side in a second. Linking arms with you, she exclaimed "(Y/n)! You don't wanna be late for lunch in the park! Come on, we have to gather all the other girls!"

The two of you dashed off, leaving Kaminari standing by himself.

"I was so scared, Mina!" You wailed aloud.

"There, there, (Y/n). You're safe now." Mina patted your head reassuringly. You were sitting on a bench under an overhang. The drip drip of rain was all around you, and the sky was obscured by light gray clouds.

You leaned against Ashido's shoulder, sniffling. "What if I've incurred the wrath of the Bakusquad? Who will protect me from Bakugo?"

"What's this about the wrath of the Bakusquad?" Shinso walked up to you, his bag slung over his shoulder.

"I got your text," he said, holding up his phone. "Need me to punch him for you?"

"Ugh," you slid down in your seat.

"I guess that's a no, then." He sat on your other side. "I could stalk him on the Internet? Brainwash him so he runs through the school in his underwear? Help me out here."

You laughed. "No and no. A hug might be nice though."

"You want me to hug him?"

"No, me."

"...you want to hug him."

You stuck your tongue out at him. "Now you're doing it on purpose."

He grinned. "Can't a guy mess with his best friend?"

"AHEM." Ashido cleared her throat. "It's clear that I'm the third wheel here, so I'm gonna go find Denki and hang out with him. You two have fun sitting in the rain." She winked at us and ran off, holding her embroidered purse above her head.

There was silence for a minute. You put your head on Shinso's shoulder.

He started talking quietly to you, telling you about his day. He had met a cat this morning. His hair was too tangled to put a brush through. Midnight was mean in class. He bumped against someone in the hallway. Silly little things.

Hitoshi is a good friend, you thought to yourself as you fell asleep.

A/N: That was more Shinso fluff than anything else, huh? Sorry about that. I wanted to establish what close friends you two are.

He'd be a good wingman.
