"You're not trying to use me are you?" I asked and Tamaki choked on his food. After a minute, he was able to stop coughing.

"Why would you ask that?" He asked.

"I'm sorry." I said, I was getting a little anxious myself. "It's just, it wouldn't be the first time I'm used for my quirk. And my friends are also a bit worried."

"Oh, no no no." Tamaki said and waved his hands. "It's not like that at all. I-I mean you're the first person to make me feel calm in a long time, but that's not why I'm doing this."

"Then why are you?" I asked. I felt like I was digging myself a hole.

"Well before we first met, when you grabbed my shirt and I looked at you." He said. "You're the first person to not be a potato."

'A what?'

"A potato?" I asked. "Oh, it's a defense mechanism."

"Y-yeah, it helps me get through when I'm around a-a lot of people." He said. "But the first time, when I looked at a new face you weren't a potato. Although your quirk is . . . is quite fascinating to me, but that's not why I wanted to get to know you. With or without your quirk, you make me feel different. A . . . . a good different."

"I'm sorry." I told him. "I didn't mean to ruin the night."

"No you didn't ruin it." He told me, his stuttering was at a minimum and he felt a lot calmer. "I understand."

"I'm also sorry for counseling you." I told him. "It's become a little bit of a habit."

"You do this often?" He asked me.

"Yeah, I'm basically my entire class's therapist." I said and we laughed and moved the rest of the food to the side and laid down on the pillows. "But it's okay, I like helping people."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I opened my eyes to being shaken awake. I lifted my head and saw that I had fallen asleep and was laying up against Tamaki, who had his arm around me. I looked to see who shook me awake.

"Bakugo?" I whispered.

"You weren't answering your texts, and you weren't in your room." He said and I sat up. "I figured I'd check on your dumb ass."

"Thanks brobro." I said and shook Tamaki awake.

"Huh?" He hummed and woke up to see Bakugo and I felt his anxiety rise.

"Calm down." Bakugo said and helped me up. Bakugo helped pick up all the stuff and we went headed down the stairs.

"What time is it?" Tamaki asked.

"About fifteen minutes before curfew." Bakugo said and we walked into the hallway of the third year students dorms and followed Tamaki to his room so we could hand him his stuff. After he got it all into his room he came back to the doorway.

"Umm, do you want me to walk you to your room?" He asked me.

"No, that's okay." I told him and I eyed Bakugo who was waiting by the stairs. "I can tell Bakugo wants to talk to me anyway."

"Oh okay." He said, and got nervous. He turned red and quickly leaned forward and kissed me on the cheek before closing the door in my face. I couldn't help but laugh a little. I gently knocked on the door and Tamaki slowly opened it. "I'm sorry I panicked." I grabbed his face and gently pulled his face to mine and kissed him on the lips. I stayed like that for a couple of seconds and I could feel him melt in my hands. I pulled away and he looked relaxed.

"Text me tomorrow?" I asked and started walking away.

"Uh, yeah." He said, and I walked up to Bakugo and we walked up down the stairs together to our floor.

"The hell did he slam the door in your face for?" He asked.

"Oh stop." I said.

"What?" Bakugo asked and we laughed. He walked me to my door. "So?"

"So?" I asked back.

"Are you going to see him again?" He asked me.

"I think so." I said. "I really, really like him."

"Good." Bakugo said and nodded. "I think he'll be good for you."

"Really?" I asked him and crossed my arms.

"Well I've seen him around a lot, and Kiri works with him." Bakugo said. "He's not the easiest person."

"Neither are you." I said.

"Mhm." He hummed annoyed. "But, he's different with you."

"So are you." I said back and couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, yeah." He said, and I looked at my feet smiling.

"He thinks I can be a hero." I said.

"We all think that." He told me.

"Oh, come on you and me both know I'll probably end up a counselor or something." I told him. "He thinks with the right work I could be a more of a defense hero. I hadn't even thought of that."

"Well, I'll be there when you make it." Bakugo told me, and hugged me. "As number two hero, cause I'll be number one." I snorted and he kissed my forehead. "Sleep good, thing two."

"You too, thing one." I told him and went into my room, and went to bed.
