"Kaminari's Birthday Special"

🌸FRI. JUN 26⚡️

[____] opened her shoe locker in a bit of a rush; She stayed up late on Thursday night, studying for a math quiz and was running late thanks to that. She missed the train her friends usually take, and so she ended up asking her mother's personal butler for a lift.

"I knew I should of studied properly, instead of just pushing it back and then trying to stuff my brain with last minute flash cards and pre-tests..." She was angry with herself, but yawned it all out after switching up her shoes and closing the cubby. "Aaah— AAAAH!!!!"

She did not expect to see one of her classmate's face right in front of her; Kaminari Denki was smiling so energetically; it almost blinded her. "[____]! [____]! Guess what?! The other day, I went to the mall and check out what I bought!!"

He was holding onto a magazine that [____] was perplexed by. She was not sure if it was about motorcycles or models in bikinis. "...That's nice, for you..I guess?"

"No! No no, not that one!! This one!!" He panicked a little and switched up the covers; apparently he was holding on to two magazines. "Pay no attention to whatever else you saw. I'm holding on to that one for a friend!"

'Oh...It just looks like a regular teen magazine.'

[____] was relieved to know that her classmate could be normal at times. "'Top ten best karaoke bars in Tokyo'...?" She read out loud the title of the article he was then showing her. "Are we allowed to enter any bars, at our age?"

"Hahah, you're so cute. Acting like you don't know." Denki complimented her at first. "Wait...You really don't know? We can enter, it's not a real bar— They serve alcohol but that's only if you show them your ID. [____], lots of places in Japan are like this. Has it really been that long that you've visited the big city? I feel sorta bad about it."

"I did know. I'm just too tired to think right." [____] lied. "...Okay, I mean...I wasn't allowed to go out much, even while living in other countries. So if I don't know a thing or two about social places, don't make fun of me, please?"

She finally locked the metal door and picked up her school bag to get to class; Denki followed after her. "I would never make fun of you, [____]! You mean a lot to me, come on! Don't be upset—"

"— I'm not. I just really need to get to homeroom, I'm planning on studying a bit more before math class and my brain is up and running with math problems right now that I gotta write down!"

"Well, my brain is up and running with thoughts of you on the daily."

[____] sped up, and so did he. She chuckled. "You're so funny, Kaminari."

"Am I? I wasn't trying to be, really.." Somedays, he thought about confessing his feelings to his classmate; But most of the time she was around, so was her scary team leader and their other friends, and they would of just laughed at his words altogether.

It was hard for him to be taken serious. He knew that, so he constantly played his words off as a joke. "At any rate— I'm actually thinking about renting a karaoke room for my birthday. It's on Monday, and I know it's a school night but I was hoping you and the rest of class A would come. What do you say?"

"Monday? Why not try to celebrate this weekend, if you're worried about who is able to attend?"

"I dunno...Everything's the cheapest on weekdays. Wouldn't you agree?" He hid the truth from her. Kaminari had saved up enough money to throw himself a grand party if he wanted to; That wasn't the real reason he wanted to spend Monday evening with his buddies.

He was actually trying to see who cared for him enough to visit the capital with him on a school night. He knew it was selfish of him to try to do this, but he wanted to feel special, like, genuinely cared for.

"I would definitely go, even if it's just for a few hours." [____] mentioned as they reached Aizawa's classroom. "...Wouldn't you rather have us throw you a surprise party, like we did with Kiri though?"

"Ehh, if I know about it already it wouldn't be a surprise, ya'nnow? I rather pay for it myself, I just want my friends to be there."

"Okay, makes sense...I wouldn't mind paying for it all, though. It's gonna be your birthday, you can consider it a gift from me."

"Actually, I'm glad you brought up the gift wishes!"

'Gift wishes..?'

"I wrote a list— Kind of extravagant, I know, but we can go over it during lunch if you want!"

"Uh, sure—" Just then, a warm hand cased both of their faces and pushed them apart, a good foot or so away from each other. "What the—?!"

"You two are in my way. Move." Katsuki intimidated Denki with one of his ugly, scary expressions and then turned his attention to [____]. "Where the hell were you this morning?! Your fucking coffee got cold so I had to dump it all over soy sauce's fucking hair!!"

"You did WHAT?!"

"He got mad at me 'cause I said you found yourself a handsome lad who offered to drive you to school." Hanta explained his reasoning, his hair and school blazer was definitely damp, but Mina was behind him trying to pat it all dry with her gym uniform. "It's obvious that I was joking— Right, [____]?"

"Yeah, I didn't get much sleep so I asked Hideaki to drive me here today..."

"Even worse!! You don't need that fucking dog driving you anywhere when you can just call me!" Before anyone in class could react in a teasing way towards him, Bakugo added: "I would pull you by your ears and drag you to class in no time."

"Ooh! Like a personal chauffeur!" Uraraka said, astonishingly.

"Nope. It's definitely not that..." Midoriya was upset he had to inform that to anyone; "It's pretty clear Kacchan is just mad."

"When isn't he? kero."

"You extras need to learn to mind your own shitty business!!"

⚡️🌸lunch time🌸⚡️

"So what is this list Kaminari is so excited to share with us about?" Sero, still dealing with his hair that smelled like coffee grounds, asked his friends when most of them gathered around in the cafeteria.

"I bet it's a list of all the hot girls in UA, based on breast size, eheheheh..." Minoru was there; sitting in between [____] and Momo; but a lot of his classmates pretended like he wasn't real.

"Cheeks, the fuck are you doing over there? Sit on this side!" Bakugo was across from her; their table usually wasn't this full.

"But there's not space over there..." [____] pointed out.

That didn't stop Katsuki from glancing over at Izuku, who was timidly sipping on a juice box and knew he fucked up by sitting on the empty seat Bakugo clearly had reserved for [____]. "I-I'll move, Kacchan!! Let me just get my tray of food and—"

When he got up, Katsuki's eyes met with Shoto's, who was right next to Deku and that only meant there were two hellish options for him to choose from:

A: Let [____] sit next to Todoroki. Or B: He moves a spot, and sits next to Todoroki so his crush wouldn't have to.

He chose option D; which was letting Deku stay and giving up his own seat for [____]. It was the most logical, in his head. Considering that option C was him burning down the entire table and letting nobody be happy for the rest of their miserable lives if they chose to call it 'jealousy.'

Plus, on the bright side; he was able to lean forward this way; place his palms on the table and shield [____] from any perverts trying to look at her. That's right, he was glaring at Mineta.

'This is a little bit too much...But I don't really mind the feeling of his chest pressed against the back of my head...I can practically listen to his heartbeat...'

[____] nibbled a little bit on the smallest piece of fried tofu from her plate while the rest of her friends settled down.

"Where the hell is dunce face?! What's he making us wait all this time for?!" Katsuki growled, and so did his stomach right after. He pulled back for a while, embarrassed that it happened.

The cafeteria emitted a lot of different sounds; laughter from other students and forks/spoons clinking with ceramic plates. It was hard to hear someone's intestines playing a symphony unless you had your ear pressed against someone's stomach or be in [____]'s current state to listen.

She grabbed another piece of tofu with her chopsticks and raised it high enough to be close to Katsuki's mouth, keeping an eye on it to make sure it wouldn't fall down to her face. "Wanna try it?"

He lowered his gaze to meet hers; Her eyes fixated on the utensils but his were studying the way her nose scrunched up a little bit when she was far too focused on something.

'Cute...' he thought as he took her offer and played with the chopsticks with his teeth; not letting [____] get them back even though she was asking politely for them.

"Alright, my peeps! Thanks so much for meeting me here!!" Kaminari showed up just in time, with Mina by his side. Her arm wrapped around his waist, it was clear she was more excited about his birthday plans than anyone else in that table.

"We're going to a karaoke bar on Monday, eeeeee!!" Ashido announced to the girls. "Let's go shopping and wear matching tops!!"

"Is that all?!" Bakugo spat [____]'s chopsticks right into Todoroki's plate of soba to piss him off. While his crush tried to apologize, he decided to kick everyone that didn't belong in that table out. "You had these losers gather around here like sheep just to tell us this crap?! Move, Deku!!"

"I'm not done— I have my gift wish list to share." Denki placed his tray of food on top of Sero's since there wasn't anymore space on that table for it.

"Oh, thanks bro."

The soon to be birthday guy winked at him in response. "Ok!! For my birthday, this year, I do not want presents, nor do I want money, or anything of the sort. I just want each of my friends to enjoy themselves with me and sing at least one song."

"Lame." Bakugo interrupted, gripping on [____]'s wrist to move her hand and fingers close to his mouth, taking whatever was left of the small piece of bread she was munching and holding onto.

"Hey!"

"Bakugo; I also have certain wishes for each of my teammates so yours will be first—!"

"We're not teammates, dunce face; go fuck yourself."

Denki respectfully ignored that comment. "For this one day, Bakugo, I would like for you to be nice to me and call me by my name. Just for one day."

"AHA!! No."

"That's a really great birthday wish, bro." Kirishima had to give him credit for being so imaginative. "But isn't that a bit of a stretch? Knowing Blasty...He wouldn't do anything unless he really wanted to, or it benefits him somehow."

"He gets my friendship full-force if he's nice to me. How would that not benefit him?!"

"I don't want shit from you, lightbulb. Suck my dick!"

Half of the students in the table gasped at his vocabulary, Iida almost fainted from shock mixed with disapproval.

"Now, Bakugo, we cant hear your birthday wish list if it's not your birthday— What—!! What did you just throw at me?! Was it a chopstick?! You could of poked my eye!!" Kaminari fend for his life and dodged that pretty quickly. "I was kidding!! Calm down!!"

"Don't hurt Kaminari a few days before his birthday!" [____] stood up for her lively friend.

"Yeah, at least wait til it's all over." Sero joked. "Then you can kill him if you wanna."

"Hanta, no!"

"Will cold soba be served at your party..?" Todoroki thought this was a perfect time to inquire important matters.

Everyone else became side tracked and started talking to each other about what songs they should sing together and whatnot, Kaminari sighed. "Guys, please...Is anyone listening to me?"

"I am." [____] responded while holding on to all the extra chopsticks and other spiky utensils her friends weren't using to keep them away from the angry blond.

"I'm listening too, bro!" Eijiro got up from his seat to take the wish list off of Denki's hands. "Let's see...So, you wrote down specific wishes for each of us?"

"Not all of you guys. You are all pretty awesome already, I'm sure my birthday party is gonna rock as long as everyone attends...But I was wondering if a few of you could do me a favor and consider it a birthday gift for me, if it isn't too crazy to ask..."

"Let me see!" Mina snatched the paper from Kiri, reading out loud a few of Denki's embarrassing wishes. "...You want to go out on a date with [____] and make out with her in front of all of us?!"

Katsuki stole a butter knife from the girl in no time, despite her trying to fight back for it. "YOU'RE DEAD!!"

"Suki, quit it!!"

"She was joking, Blasty. It doesn't say that, see?!" His best friend calmed him down before a teacher could get them all in trouble. "It just says he wants a signed photograph of her mom."

"That's gross as shit."

"Why would you say that? Can't you see [____] and her mom are practically twins?" Hanta tried to shame him for being a jerk. "[____], I'm so sorry you had to hear Bakugo say he thinks you're gross."

"It's okay..." [____] awkwardly laughed. "Nothing really fazes me at this point."

"That's so sad...She has no more confidence left because of you, Bakuho!!" Ashido pretended to cry from heartbreak.

"No! That's not what I meant, you guys!"

"Stop talking [____]-chan! We know you like Bakubabe because he's so hot but think about it! Are those toned abs and that slim waist really worth it?! — Wait a minute, they might be..."

Mina answered her own questions the more she checked out an enraged version of Katsuki, who was being held back by Kirishima and his quirk. "I mean I'd endure a bit of neglect if I can get with a guy like that, most definitely! Minus the attitude."

"Quit dreaming, raccoon eyes. I'd never date a girl like you." Katsuki scrunched up his nose in disgust.

"Who said anything about dating?! I'd hit it and quit it if I was you, [____]-chan!"

"What?!" [____] didn't have enough time to respond.

"Honestly, same." Hanta added. "There is so much hatred in that small body of his. I wouldn't be able to date someone like him longer than a night."

"I'M ONLY TWO INCHES SHORTER THAN YOU, SOY SAUCE!!" Katsuki began to kick the air and yell at his classmates. "FUCK ALL OF YOU!! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"

"Dudes! Quit teasing him, he'll start punching me next!" Eijiro knew there was a series of steps to Katsuki's anger. Right now he was on level 4, and as far as he knows there was about five or six more levels left until he started to actually hurt others.

He warned the rest. "I will let go off him the next time someone asks to get explosions thrown at their faces!"

"Guys!! We're getting off topic!" Denki pleaded yet again for everyone's attention. "Look...just forget about it. I'll text everyone the location of the karaoke bar. I hope you're all able to attend! Remember, no gifts please just bring a smile to my party!"

🌸SUN. JUN 28🌸

'He said he doesn't want gifts, but...' [____] took a look in the mirror one last time, making sure her false eyelashes looked even. 'I can't just show up empty handed to a birthday party..I wonder if others are planning to buy him something?'

She was wearing high waisted blue skinny jeans, white vans and a red velvet spaghetti-strap top when she left her room to head down to the kitchen, where she last seen her cell phone before getting ready.

It was around 6:37 pm and she had plans to go watch a movie with Katsuki and Eijiro. So, she couldn't call it a 'date', exactly.

"Miss [____], would you like for me to drive you and your friends to the mall and wait in the parking lot until you are ready to leave?" Kaito was on duty and in the middle of cleaning the marble countertops when he asked.

"No, thanks. Suki and Kiri are on their way here, I'll order us a Lyft from there and back."

"Please let any of us know if plans have changed and you need our services."

"Yeah. Of course." She smiled at him, then focused on her cell phone since he had gotten a text from Eijiro. "Gotta go, they're outside."

🌸🌸🌸🌸

"Hey, Amachi! We're right here!" The one with spiky red hair waved his arms as she walked out of her home. "You sure you don't wanna bring a jacket? You'll probably get cold later!"

"Oh, yeah. I decided it's about time I start buying myself clothes so I'm hoping I'll get one at the mall, for now?" She seemed unsure of that statement, herself. Though it was only because she could sense the blond guy glaring at her outfit.

'Do I look bad, wearing this...? I don't think I'm showing too much skin...And if I was, that's fine! It's my body, I can wear whatever I'd like...' [____] prepared herself to stand up for herself in case Katsuki was actually upset or not. "Soo..What movie are we watching, you guys?"

"It's called Premium Hero: The Tales of Chivalry!"

"Shitty hair picked it, as you can tell." Bakugo commented. "I wanted to watch the one where the group of friends get slaughtered by crocodiles at a camping trip and then their corpses rot in the lake and it becomes toxic. Whoever drinks from it turns into a human-flesh eating zombie...Heh, it's pretty badass."

"So many plot holes already, I cannot even begin to list them." Kirishima shook his head, "Like, who would drink from a crocodile infested lake, for starters? Who would even camp near one?!"

"Those dumbass kids, obviously."

In the middle of their conversation, [____] order their ride and pre-tipped the driver when it showed that he was on his way. "Well, whatever movie we're gonna see..Do we have time to roam the mall before the stores close, right after?"

"Yeah; the movie doesn't start until eight. We can go eat in the meantime... [____] since you're paying for the lyfts, I don't mind paying for the food. Bakugo is paying for the movie tickets and the snacks!"

"The hell I am!! If I'm paying, then I get to choose the other movie, fuck that!"

🌸💥❤️

After the movie had ended, [____] was happy to know she still had about an hour and a half to look at a couple of places and shop for Kaminari's gift and a cute sweater or two.

Maybe seven...tyfour.

"I'm not carrying all those bags!" Katsuki noted how his crush just walked into one single store and cleared out racks of clothes in minutes. She ended up holding on to fourteen large paper shopping bags already.

"You don't have to! I can handle this!" She claimed, but really struggled to prove him so. "Okay...I went overboard, but whatever doesn't look good on me I can just give away to my friends...Also, Mina told me to wear a specific color for tomorrow.

She told me all the girls are going to wear yellow tops, and I don't have time to try them on, nor would I want you to wait longer for me so I'm taking lots just in case!"

"Half of these bags are filled with yellow crap? The ugliest color. Wear black instead."

"Yellow isn't an ugly color! It's a happy color!" [____] insisted. "Plus, it matches Kaminari's eyes, Mina said."

"Why would you wanna match with dunce face's eyes?! What kind of harem are you all planning with that fucker?!"

"It's not a harem! You know what? I'm starting to think Kaminari's wish is something that you should do, from now on." [____] said in between grunts as she prayed that the thin paper bags wouldn't break on her.

"What are you talking about?"

"Kaminari is one of the kindest people I've met. Sure, he jokes around a lot but he really admires you, and ever since I met him you've been nothing but a jerk towards him. He deserves some kindness on his birthday, it would mean so much to him if it came from you."

"Why would I wanna be kind to anyone?! Especially that idiot?! Here, let me take these—!!" He pulled all of the bags out of her hands once he got tired of stopping every once in a while to make sure she caught up with him.

"Thank you, Suki." [____] was glad she was able to breathe normally again. Carrying seventy four pieces of clothing was no joke, it appeared...Katsuki made it look so easy. "You see? You can be nice to me, that means you can be nice to anyone. You should try it."

"You can't force that 'kind' shit on me, Cheeks." He smirked at the thought. "You should learn from me and grow a backbone, instead. You're too fucking nice to everybody else that doesn't matter in this universe. It should just be about you and I, always."

As much as [____] liked hearing that; she bit her lips together and shook her head at him. "You're insane. Being nice to others doesn't do anything to me...On the contrary, if I'm rude all the time...I'll make nothing but enemies throughout my life. So, no thanks. Let's be kind, together!"

"Fuck, you're annoying and stupid."

[____] gaped, "How can you say mean things like that after just telling me something sweet? I don't like the roller coaster of emotions you put me through sometimes, Suki."

"Get used to it."

"Wha— No! It shouldn't be this way! I—!"

"— Bros! I found you guys!" Kirishima had taken a stroll by himself after the movie, he purchased some workout clothes and multiple energy bars from an essential store. "Are we all set to go home? I'm so psyched for tomorrow. I got Denki a gift, even if he said he didn't want one."

"Yes, lets get the fuck out of here." Katsuki was glad to see his best friend in this particular moment; He had just stopped them from getting into an empty argument. "Cheeks, are you ready?"

"No. I'd like to check out that jewelry store, over there..." She pointed at the bottom level of the mall; Behind a fruit juice bar that had a few employees lingering around, getting ready to close down, a fancy accessory shop remained wide open. "You can wait for me here, I'll be right back!"

🌸💜🌸💜

She didn't tell them this, but there were a couple of reasons she really wanted to enter that place on her own. Number one, she had to take a breather from Katsuki's rudeness once in a while. Two, she had been wanting to purchase new diamond earrings for her mother's upcoming birthday; Three, she figured she could find a golden watch or something cool for Kaminari's gift and lastly, four...

The only other person in that store, besides the worker, was somebody that she knew from school and recognized him by his crazy indigo hair. "Shinso, hello."

"Hey." He was there to look at the sunglasses, he had walked in and asked the cashier if he could try some on. The moment [____] tapped on the side of his shoulder he turned back and decided not to take them off. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to watch a movie with Kirishima and Katsuki. We had some free time, and I wanted to check some stores out. You?"

"...I watched a movie as well." He paused for a bit to remove the glasses and gently hand them back to the store associate. "Thank you. I'll keep looking around."

"Oh, did you see Premium Hero, too?!" For a strange reason, [____] wanted to hear his thoughts on the movie. A chivalrous man saving the world with politeness and consideration of others. "'Kindness Shall Lead This World!' Is what he says all the time, ahahah.'

Hitoshi laughed inwardly at her change in tone. "Yeah..No, I watched the one with the zombies and the crocodiles."

"Oh..That one..." [____] mentally face palmed and cursed herself for that one. "Forget I quoted that other movie. Um, did you like it? Was it as gore-y as Katsuki said it was?"

"Yeah, it got..It got sorta gore-y..." he cut the awkward silence with another laugh. "You know, with the pools of blood and all of that...You like scary movies, such as those?"

"I don't really watch any, but its not 'cause I'm scared of them if that's what you're thinking." [____] decided to glance over at the glass counters to look at some jewelry and asked to see a golden bracelet and some earrings. "I just don't watch many movies in general."

"Well, you're missing out. I mean, it seems like you really liked that chivalrous hero one, you will definitely enjoy others."

The worker showed the items to [____] and she just glanced at them before nodding to the lady and pulling out her credit card to pay for both of those.

When the transaction went through, she sarcastically replied, "Yeah, no. I don't think that anything will top this one. It's my new favorite, so..."

"Is it, now?"

"Yep."

"That's too bad. I was gonna ask if you wanted to catch another film with me next weekend, if you're free...But I guess that's a hard 'no' unless we watch Premium Hero again, huh?"

[____] couldn't believe what she was hearing; She didn't even realize she had accidentally exchanged flirtatious moves with a guy she didn't see on a regular basis. Let alone, this guy who seemed so out of reach and indifferent from her friends— His way of asking someone out came down so buttery smooth; she lost the ability to speak for a second.

"Cat's got your tongue?"

The tall guy teased, and that was when [____] snapped out of it. "Sorry! I..Uh...Katsuki is— He's probably waiting for me. I should go..."

"Sure, then."

'Oh my gosh! What did I just do?! Did I just flirt—?! Have I always been this good at flirting, to get a guy to just ask me out like this?! But this is Shinso!!

He's probably just trying to be my friend. Izuku said he didn't have many; but if that's true then I don't understand how if he can ask a girl out, he can befriend anyone!!'

"Don't forget your items, Miss!" The cashier called her back for the two small golden boxes she left at the counter.

"Right!" [____] laughed it off and walked right back. "Sorry! Uh...Thank you very much, and Shinso...I...I don't mean to say 'no', I just mean that—"

"— Bakugo is waiting for you. I know." As opposed to her, he was still in control of his emotions and it was clear. "It's fine. I gotta get going, too."

"Okay, but like— Look! Kaminari is having a birthday party tomorrow after school..We are all gonna hang out a karaoke bar. It's my first time being in one, so I'm probably gonna find out that suck at singing. It's a once in a lifetime chance to see me embarrass myself, and Kaminari says you two are friends. Maybe you'd like to come by?"

[____] was moving her hands around like if she was in the middle of a small anxiety attack; Hitoshi recognized the way one of them would cover her mouth back and forth as she spoke.

A golden charm bracelet sliding up and down her wrist; caramel colored gel polish on her nails, it seemed as if the more he inspected the smallest features on [____], the more he wanted to learn about her.

"W-What's the matter, Shinso?" [____]'s heart was pounding out of her chest and ringing in her ears, but she had just finished with her little persuasive speech and the guy didn't seem interested in her invitation, or so she believed. "...C-Cat's got your tongue? Ahah.."

He smiled a little. "Kaminari's birthday party? He told me about it, but I'm not sure if I'll go yet. Class A can be like a storm of energy at times. It's too much for me to handle."

"Aw, that's too bad..."

There was a hint of genuine sadness in her voice; the two of them were surprised to hear it. Shinso raised an eyebrow. "Well..I mean, if you're telling me I get to see you embarrass yourself for the hundredth time this school year, then..."

"Hey! It's been half of that, at most!" [____] claimed. "Besides, what if it turns out that I'm actually a pretty great singer and you'll miss out on it?"

"Oh, I'd be pretty pissed with myself, honestly."

"You see! So just think about it! I'll see you there?"

"Maybe." He watched [____] give a little goodbye wave to him before rushing out of the store, as if she needed to catch a flight to somewhere in less than a minute.

🌸💥🌸💥

[____] caught up with her friends, who were waiting for her outside the mall while sipping on carbonated drinks from the nearest vending machine. "Sorry! Did I take a while?"

They both responded at the same time.

"No." — "Fuck yeah, you did. Now you fucking owe me fifteen minutes of my life, cheeks!! What took you so damn long?!"

"I purchased these..." The girl showed both of them the little boxes of jewelry. "I also saw Shinso in there, I invited him to Kaminari's party tomorrow he said he might come."

"Who the fuck is that?!" Katsuki furrowed his eyebrows at the name.

"It's Hitoshi, from class C, dude." Eijiro replied in [____]'s place. "You know, from the sports festival? The one who fought against Midoriya? Crazy purple hair and a smile that resembles Mr. Aizawa's?"

Katsuki didn't change his expression.

Kirishima sighed. "...Eyebags."

"Oh. Him." Just like that, he was caught up on with the turn of events. "The fuck is he doing, talking to you?! Does he want to start a fight?!"

"I really doubt that's what he's looking for." His best friend replied once again. "Amachi can send him to another country with her portals if he gets crazy, right [____]?"

[____] didn't respond, she was too busy remembering their conversation. It took a few 'Hey, helloo? Earth to [____]' from Eijiro and a 'Wake the FUCK UP CHEEKS!! We're talking to you!!' From her crush to bring her back to reality.

"Huh?! What?!"

"HYUH?? WHUUUH??" Bakugo mocked her. "I said call the damn lyft already before I burn all your shit!"

"Not cool, dude. Remember what Premium Hero said? 'Kindness Shall Lead This World!'" Eijiro did a very spot on impression of the actor in the movie. Way better than [____], she admitted to that later. "Apologize to Amachi. She did nothing wrong."

"I ain't apologizing!!"

"Fine. I'll do it for you. [____], sorry that Blasty is a grade A dick to you. You deserve better than this, he knows it too."

Again, [____] doze off to another world after she used her phone app to contact another driver to take them home. She snapped out of it almost instantaneously, however. "No! It's okay, Kiri..I know he's upset right now and just needs to cool down. Our driver is on his way..."

❤️💥🌸

The woman who was driving dropped off Kirishima to his house first; since his address was the closest to the mall. He closed the passenger seat's door when he left the car and waved bye to his two friends who were sitting on the back, only one waved back.

"Bye, Kiri!! See you tomorrow at school!" [____] kept waving until the car started moving again. She checked her texts in silence and Katsuki cleared his throat.

"The movie that we just saw...Did you like it?"

She locked her screen and replied to him, "Hmm..I did. It wasn't what I was expecting, but the ending was nice. I sort of teared up during the part where the hero saved the children that reminded him of his own, that he lost in the beginning...it was so sad."

"Damn, you cry for everything." Katsuki scoffed at her answer, expecting for her to deny it like she usually did.

Though all she muttered was a soft 'maybe' and wondered for the first time in her life that if that was truly the case...

If she actually shed tears of joy, or pain or sorrow as often as he claimed...Would it really be the worst thing in the world, like he made it seem?

After school was over, [____] called Kaito to pick her up to save up enough time to get ready for the party and try on all the yellow tops she purchased the night before.

She FaceTimed Mina for opinions, who was in her own bed room with Ochako, also getting ready. "You know what, Chako-chan? I think we should do each other's nails, this time. 'Cause I can't paint the other hand with my dummy one!"

"Yeah, I'll help you out!" [____] heard Uraraka tell her through another part of Mina's room.

"Anyway, [____]-chan. Show me the next shirt."

"Right..." [____] placed her phone upwards, resting on her laptop screen for support and stepped back, showing her the long sleeve crop top she thought was cute. "I feel like this highlights my stomach too much..."

"Whaaaat?! No! That one is perfect!! Wear that one!!" Ashido called her friend over to give a second opinion. Uraraka agreed, "Yep! That's the one!"

"Are you sure? I still have another twenty or so to show you..." [____] was starting to think her friends just wanted her to wear something so they could go back to doing their makeup in peace. "Am I bothering you two? I could always just ask one of my maids for advice..."

"No!! No, no, no, no, baby girl! I'm here for you!!" Mina finished putting on her lipstick and grabbed her phone to show her full face to [____]. "How do I look? Will I get a date with this makeup?"

"Mina, you look very pretty." Her friend smiled. "I wish I could do my makeup like you."

"I can teach you! Let's have a sleepover!"

In the back, Uraraka chanted 'no' a few times before sharing her experience. "Mina tried to kiss me on the lips goodnight last time I came over!!"

"I told you, I thought you were Todoroki. I was half asleep!"

"So then that means you'd just throw yourself at Todoroki like that, anytime?!"

"...and anywhere. What are you saying? He's so hot. Isn't he, [____]?"

[____] opened her mouth to answer that, but had to pause her call with the girls since she was receiving an audio request from her one and only crush. "Sorry, I'll call you right back. Ok?"

"Don't forget to meet us by the train station, anyway! Just in case you don't call me back!!"

"I won't. I'll see you there, bye." [____] ended the FaceTime call and answered her phone, putting it on speaker so she could figure out what sort of makeup she wanted to go with on this particular night. "Hi, Suki. What's up?"

"I've thought about it." Katsuki responded, serious as he ever was. "....I'm willing to negotiate with you about being kind to dunce face on his birthday."

"Negotiate? With me?" [____] paused whatever music she was playing in her room via her laptop to hear him better. "How does that work?"

"If you decide to forget about the shit I said to you last night at the mall, then...I'll be nice to Pikachu at his party."

"Really?" [____] asked.

"Yes."

"What made you decide this?"

"I don't fucking know. Maybe it was that stupid movie we watched with Ei, maybe it's something else. Who the fuck even cares what it is?! Why are you asking me this bullshit?!" He became more irritated, and that made [____] chuckle.

"Or maybe...You just feel bad about being a jerk sometimes and can't apologize correctly..." [____] whispered to herself.

"WHAT?!"

"I said I won't ask you why anymore...Just know that I'm glad you're doing something nice for Kami. Let's have fun when we meet at the karaoke place, okay?"

"Sure."

Thirty seconds of silence went by, [____] wanted to know if he was waiting for her to spark up another conversation, so she tried it. "Suki...When we get there, will you sing a song with me?"

"Fuck that; bye." With that, Katsuki ended their call.

⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

"Thank you guys so much for coming! I wasn't expecting all of you to show up!" Denki thanked all his friends inside the rented karaoke room at around 5pm through the microphone.

"I'm the only one here." Minoru reminded him of that; He was the first one there and that was only because he tagged along with Kaminari to rent the room and decorate it with cheap party supplies. "Isn't it kind of sad to throw your own birthday party with your own money?"

"Nothing is sad about life when you got awesome friends like I do!! I know most of them are gonna show up; at least for an hour. I'm so hyped, I wrote this entire speech during Aizawa's lesson instead of listening!"

Denki unfolded a piece of paper and tried to read it for practice, but all he saw was a rough sketch he did of him and [____] sharing a strawberry milkshake. "Oops, wrong paper. I think I left the speech in my school bag, actually. It's back home. Should I go get it?"

"No, no, no. You stay put, birthday genius. I'll get it for you..." Minoru could sometimes be genuine and kind with his buddies, this was something only Kaminari knew of; which is why they were great friends. "Just call me when the ladies arrive, alright?"

"Thanks, bro! I owe you!!"

"Anything to see your mom again wearing that skirt...." Then again, Minoru's kindness could come with great consequences for the poor ladies.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

[____] easily recognized her group of friends on the train station near the heart of Tokyo, the girls were all wearing yellow tops with black jeans. "Oh man...I'm the only one wearing blue jeans..."

'Maybe I could go home and change, using my quirk...But I don't know if I should. I could also buy black jeans in the nearest store? Yes! That works out!'

"[____]!! Over here!" Ashido called on to her, ruining her plans to escape the group and text them later, when she was fully matching with the rest. "Wow, girl! You look so hot, I might just pretend you're Todoroki and kiss you tonight!"

"...What?" Shoto was standing right next to Mina, but it's not like that mattered to her.

"Mina...I didn't know we were supposed to wear black jeans, aside from yellow tops...I feel so out of place.." [____] pulled her friend aside to confess. "Any way I can just go to a store and buy something to wear?"

"No! You look fine! I'm serious, none of us knew we were gonna wear black jeans too so it's a coincidence!! Come on, we're all here except for the three dummies in our group; they said they'll meet us at the bar. Stop stalling there and let's go!" She held on tight to [____]'s wrist and guided her somewhere with the rest of her classmates.

"Okay! But where are we going?! Isn't the karaoke bar the other way?!"

"Yes, it is! But it's a surprise!! Come, come!!"

🌸🌸🌸🌸

They all stood in front of a insanely fancy looking pastry shop; but only Mina, Todoroki and [____] walked in. Ashido obviously had to pull the two of them to stand beside her.

"Hello!!!! Me and my significant others are here to pick up a cake I designed for my husband, Kaminari Denki! It's under that name, please." The short-haired girl exclaimed to the store associates, and the various couples having dessert inside the establishment.

"You designed a cake for Kaminari?!" [____] whispered to her friend. "When? How?!"

"Online. You can design and order anything online these days."

"Can I design a new father?" Todoroki wondered, half-joking.

"Shoto, baby, you're so cute. This is why we make the best polygamous couple in Japan! The three of us!!" Mina squeezed the two people wrapped around her arms together, to the point where [____] was being suffocated by her chest and Todoroki's cheek was being punctured by one of her horns. "Think about it, seriously."

"I don't think I'm ready to further explore my sexuality like this, but thanks for offering..." [____] took a gasp of fresh air after her friend let go off them to grab the pink-colored box of cake from the employee. "Can I see what the cake looks like?"

"Of course!! Take a peek, but don't tell Kami!" Ashido opened the sleeve of the box; just to proudly present to them her amazing design.

"Kami's Bi—?" [____] read the black icing letters on the cake. "...Is it not finished?"

"No, I could only afford the smallest size so I guess there wasn't much space to finish writing 'Birthday', so..."

"There's space right there—" Shoto had the willingness to point out.

"Where?!"

"Right here...and here...and over there...Here too..."

"I guess I didn't design it well enough, oops." Mina lied to the clueless guy.

"You could of just purchased a piece of chocolate that says 'Happy Birthday' on it, if space was limited online..."

"Todoroki, quit poking fun at my cake-decorating skills!!"

"Okay. Sorry."

[____] took over Shoto's inquisitions after she made him zip his lips. "Why didn't you just write 'Kami: HBD!' instead?"

"Because knowing him, he'll have a hard time figuring out what it stands for and then he'll short circuit on his big day! Is that what you want, [____]?"

"No, but everyone already knows what HBD stands for, so we could just tell him the meaning behind the abbreviation..Right, Todoroki?"

Shoto nodded, but Mina didn't enjoy being cornered like this, so she had to prove her point to [____]. "Todobaby, can you tell [____]-chan what HBD stands for?"

"Hot boba drink."

[____] rested her case gladly and peacefully for the rest of the night.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

They reached the karaoke bar just in time; [____] was nervous about singing for the first time in front of an audience; but after hearing a few of her classmates sing along and have fun she felt less scared of what sort of reaction anyone in the room would give to the sound of her voice.

That was until her crush slammed the door open and walked in before Sero and Kirishima copied his posture. The three of them looked like a yakuza searching for their money in a run-down business. "WHERE IS THAT FUCKER AT, AHH?!"

There was silence; someone pressed the 'stop' button on the keypad to make the song quit playing but the LED lights were still on; raving on their own like the party was still going.

"...Which one?" Todoroki had the guts to break the silence while sipping on a cold lemonade.

"The little birthday asshole."

"M-Me?" Kaminari was sitting next to Jiro and [____], he figured this was his final execution and he had to say goodbye to his loved ones before dying.

He handed [____] his water bottle and told them that he loved everyone in the room before walking towards Katsuki. "Wait, I'm actually kinda scared you guys. I'm not joking."

"Shut up—" Bakugo, the entire time, was biting his tongue. Making sure he won't snap at the fact that Kaminari was taking his sweet time getting there. "Here. Take this shit and—"

He choked; looked for [____] and saw her smiling at them. Then he swallowed a shit ton of his pride to give him an envelope containing a gift. "I mean...Happy birthday, Kaminari."

Denki shrieked after hearing his own name come out of Bakugo's lips. "...Wha..?"

Jiro used her quirk to reach for the red button and started playing the music again to put an end to Denki's misfortune. "Let's keep this on, always."

⚡️y'all really think ima write them singing, lol I am saving that up for the real story not a special yeee⚡️

At some point during the event, Katsuki sat in between [____] and Midoriya, who were having a conversation about how yummy the apricot sundae tasted like from the menu, and whether or not they should share another one. "What the hell are you two smiling about?"

"Kacchan, Amacchan ordered this really cool dessert earlier and she said we could—"

"—I'm tired of hearing you talk already. Get lost, nerd." It was clear to Izuku that Katsuki had no genuine interest in anyone in that party, other than [____]. He then invested his time with someone who was ready to hear all about his new hero notes for the rest of the night; Tenya and Ochako.

"Katsuki. Be nice to everyone, not just me and Kami!" Every so often, [____] would boss him around and enjoyed every minute of it. "If you're not nice then I won't share my food with you."

"What's so special about sharing? I could just order whatever if I wanna."

"Well, true...But you won't get to experience the indirect kisses if we also share the same utensil!" [____] supported her claim.

"Big deal. I can just grab you and kiss you right now, instead." When he declared it, [____] was glad the place was flashing with bright lights, otherwise the rest could tell she was turning red far too quickly to consider it normal. "...You got quiet all of a sudden. You wouldn't like it if we kiss here? In front of everyone."

"I don't want others to see it." She was trying not to act so embarrassed; but she couldn't do much about that when Katsuki's face came up to her own.

"You're shy for what? We're not doing anything bad." He forgot to mention that he felt that she owed him as well; But the music stopped yet again and this time it wasn't because of him bouncing in there, yelling like a gangster to the birthday guy.

It was actually Denki who paused the music to greet the person standing in front of the door with the microphone he was holding on to. "Shincchan!! You came! Everybody, look! Shincchan is here!! He came to my party! Man I knew he didn't block my number again!"

"Sorry. I must have gotten the wrong room." Hitoshi took a good look at everyone in class A and proceeded to walk out of there, hating the attention he just received.

"Kami, dude...You gotta learn to be less extroverted around some people. You'll scare them." Sero took the mic from his friend and played the music again. He patted his back and told him to go after him if he wanted to; but to not be too pushy.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Minutes later; Kaminari came back with a sour look on his face and sobbed to Mina and their little group of close friends about not finding his new buddy anywhere in the building. "He left and it was all my fault!! Bakugo, what do you have to say about me?! I'm an idiot, aren't I?!"

"You are—" Escaped his lips; but then he remembered his deal with his crush about not making the birthday guy feel any worse. "You are going about this the wrong way. Why not just call eyebags and tell him you're sorry? Tell him nobody really cares if he's here or not but you, and that you won't do anything like that ever again if he decides to come back."

Sero and Ashido gaped their mouths at their team leader and pretty much remained that way for a long time; absolutely frozen. Kirishima was the only one who showed pride in his best friend by clapping his hands as hard as he could. "Alright!! Bakugo! That's some fine advice!! Kaminari! I'll help you text him if you're too scared to call."

"Suki, good job." [____] supported her face on his shoulder for a second in replacement of a hug. "You're cute when you're kind."

"Yeah, well..." Katsuki took her praise with no issues; but on the inside he was thinking of killing Shinso for ruining a perfect moment between him and [____].

Mina, then, snapped out of her trance to announce that she had to use the bathroom. "[____], come with me! Let's freshen up a bit!"

"Alright...I'll be back, you guys. Kami, cheer up, okay?" Telling him so only made Denki cry harder about it again.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

"Did you get Kami a gift?" Mina asked [____] as they walked through the hallway together. Compared to the room they rented; the aisles were so quiet. As expected of a karaoke bar, the walls were made to be extremely sound proof. "I got him this really cute choker I think he'd like."

"Kaminari wears chokers?" [____] had never seen a guy rock one of those in person, but she figured if there was someone in her class who would look good in that grungy-style, it had to be Denki.

"I don't know, but I got it for him anyway. I also got him a signed picture of your mom."

"Stop joking like that." [____] laughed at her comment, but noticed how Mina wasn't laughing with her. "...You didn't."

"Guess you'll have to wait and see. What did you get him?"

"I bought him a gold bracelet, it's in my bag actually. But I won't give it to him till it's time to open presents, um..." She stopped speaking when she peeked at a few strands of indigo-colored hair at the end of the hallway; Mina turned to the right and showed her where the bathroom was, but [____] told her she had to deal with something real fast before she could meet her inside.

"Kay, well hurry up [____]-chan. I want to show you this really cute pair of undies I'm wearing today. I accidentally bought two of the same style online so if you like them, I'll give you the extra pair."

🌸💜🌸💜

Ah, yes...The walls of the rooms were mantle-thick, but the hallway was not. Because of this, Hitoshi overheard their entire conversation and covered his mouth to not laugh at Mina's last words.

"You're hiding from me?" [____] appeared through a portal, right in front of him. He would always be startled by her quirk. "Kaminari is actually crying...he thought you left."

"I was going to, but couldn't do it...I still gotta give him his birthday present." He was sitting on the carpet floor, leaning his back straight against the wall to stretch after a long period of bad posture, being on his own.

[____] squatted down to meet him eye-to-eye. "Are you mad at him for doing that to you?"

"Doing what? He didn't attack me or anything of the sort..." Shinso tried to look away from [____]'s pretty face. She had her eyes squinted, as if she was trying to read his thoughts.

She pretended to be her mother's butler, always hearing what others kept inside their heads and making them blurt out the truth, even if they wanted to keep it a secret forever. To her surprise, it worked.

"I just don't like being the center of attention, that's all. Class A can be lousy in a way or two."

"You find us lousy?" [____] tilted her head to the side and laughed.

"Not you. You're definitely the least lousy one in there."

"I will take it as a compliment, if that's okay with you." She got tired of squatting, so she decided to stand up again and remain that way. "I don't like being the center of attention, either...I know it's hard to believe that when my mother is world-famous and have paparazzi snap pictures of us whenever we're together all the time—

I just..I can't get used to it no matter what. I feel like a failure because by now, I should be enjoying it or something...I feel like everyone expects me to be okay with it but it's hard...So, that's why..I get how you might feel...But you really don't have to hide from any of us, in there. Kaminari looked really happy when he saw you walk in, now he's just all mopey and sad...He likes you, clearly."

"Too much for my own comfort."

[____] smiled at his additional comment. "I know. He gives people this crazy amount of attention; he's done it to me too and whenever it happens, I still don't know what to say to him, but...He's just very nice and compassionate. He will understand if you explain to him that you don't like certain things...Um, anyway...I gotta head to the bathroom. My friend is waiting for me."

"Yeah, of course." He accepted her excuse and got up to offer her a handshake. "I'll see you."

[____] hesitated to touch his hand, but did it to not seem rude. "...You're leaving, after all?"

"Yeah..I guess so. Thanks for chatting with me right now, though. Kind of feel less aggravated, for some reason."

"Well, that's good." Their hands slowly slipped apart. [____] couldn't shake the feeling off that he couldn't just go without at least giving his gift to the birthday guy. Yeah, that's definitely what she felt. "Shinso...You didn't get to hear me sing."

"Bummer. Were you bad, though?"

"Yes. Terrible."

"Then I'm glad my ears were saved."

She stuck out her tongue for a split-second, enough to make it not offensive and at the same time, have him look away to laugh. "...Okay. I'll tell you what. I'll stay, but only long enough to hear you sing another song. Do you feel as if thats fair to you?"

[____] agreed; forgetting to tell him that she had no intention of singing anymore because she had strained a vocal chord a few hours earlier, misusing her voice.

⚡️EXTRA BIT⚡️
"HBD"

Before the party could come to an end; Mina paused the music for the last time to bring the rest of their classmates together. Not many people stayed behind with them, at this point. It was still a school night and many had to follow their parents' curfews.

Bakugo's teammates and Midoriya's were still there; along with Rikido Sato, who couldn't wait to get a taste of cake and Shoto Todoroki; who had fallen into a deep slumber even with loud music playing in the back and no one seemed to have the heart to wake him up when he looked oh, so very peaceful.

Jiro didn't have a curfew; and neither did Shinso so they were both still there, as well— an empty seat in between the two of them and yet they still didn't exchange any words.

It had become apparent that [____] tricked Hitoshi into staying for the entire party, but the guy had to give her kudos for being a good liar when she needed to lie.

"Okay, everyone it's time to cut the cake, finally!!" Mina announced to the already sleep-deprived hero students.

"I'm too stuffed from eating so many different desserts..." Midoriya mentioned. His two best friends agreed with him.

"Awh! I knew you'd people would say that, that's why I bought the smallest cake available!! So we can enjoy it without overeating!"

"I thought you said it was because you couldn't afford a bigger size." [____] recalled her saying those exact same words, actually.

"Shush, my beautiful angel." Ashido pressed one of her index fingers right on her friend's lips to help her zip them up. "Kami— Come here and look at your cake! I worked hard on the design!!"

"Aw, thank you, Mina...But I asked you guys not to— Why does it say that I'm Bi?"

"It was a mistake. It's meant to say Kami; HBD!"

"Ohh, okay. What does that stand for again?"

"Kami: Hot Buff Dude!" Kirishima came up with his own definition. "Such a manly title!"

"It clearly stands for Hanta's Baby Daddy, quit lying to him." Sero was too tired to come up with something better than that.

"I hate every single one of you." Katsuki was clearly tired of all their shit already, it was past eight pm; he had no energy left to deal with the group of losers he considered friends. "Can we fucking ditch this place?! Have him open his fucking gifts at home!!"

"Bakubabe, if you're so tired why don't you fall asleep and look all graceful, like Todobaby over there—" Mina pointed at the main stage of the room, where right in the middle of floor, in the very spotlight, Shoto was passed out cold.

"He looks dead." Kyoka was concerned, so she got up to check his pulse. "Maybe he'll wake up if we put a slice of cake close to his face."

"Good idea!! Kami— You open my gift first while I slice the cake in your honor and show everyone how much I love you!" Mina handed the guy her gift, which she was very proud of.

"Thanks, everybody..I gotta admit, I wasn't expecting any gifts at all. I even asked you guys not to buy me anything, yet you went out of your way to purchase something like this— Whoa, how cool! Is this a shock collar?"

"It's a fashion choker." Mina became a little worried for him, "Why would I buy you a shock collar, Kami?!"

"No reason—! Moving on!!" He laughed it off as if it wasn't actually a huge deal and then pulled out the next item in the bag. "A signed photo of [____]'s mom!! Awesome!"

[____] inhaled so suddenly, she blamed herself for not taking precautions towards situations like this. "Mina!! How did you even get that photo?! My mom isn't in Japan right now!"

"Well, it wasn't easy. I asked your hot butler for her agent's number. Told him I was a really huge fan of hers and wanted her autograph for my boyfriend's birthday gift and to my surprise, your mom express-mailed it to my home within the next two days! She even chose a really revealing photo for this, I didn't expect that, I gotta admit."

'My mom can be absolutely cynical...What did I do to deserve this?' [____] asked the big person upstairs if there was a way to repent for her sins and have her live a normal high school life; well as normal as it would get for a hero-course student.

"I'm placing this on my night stand— Unless [____] gives me a photo of herself to frame and replace it?!" Kaminari was quick to request a trade-off.

"What? No—"

"Ooo if [____] is giving out signed photos then sign me up too!" Mina jumped right into the big ideas. "Make it a party favor and hand them out to our guests! Little keychains with [____]'s face in them, aw how cute!"

"YEA! I will take 15 of those!!" Kaminari vouched for her plan; Katsuki became weary but he still had enough energy to shut them up, sorta.

"Why the fuck would you need that many?! You'll get zero!! Just like everybody else in this fucking room! Nobody gets photos of her but me—"

"—Guys! This is turning into something else; I'm not handing out photos of me to anyone!!" [____] had to put an end to it since the three of them began to argue. "Kaminari, can you please open another gift?"

"Yeah, dude. Chill out with the photo requests and check this out." Hanta pulled an enclosed piece of paper out of his back jeans' pocket and then fixed his hair as his friend opened it.

"An annual pass to that couples amusement park that everyone is talking about?! Sweet, dude! But I don't have anyone to go with..."

Sero proudly pulled out his wallet and showed him his own membership ID. "Uhh..Think again, babe."

"Hell yeah!! We can go there after class and during the weekends!! Just don't call me 'babe' in front of Shincchan, he's gonna think we're actually dating and we don't want any confusion in here, hehe."

"I do not care in the slightest." Hitoshi replied to that, but Denki pretended as if he didn't hear it.

"Kaminari. This is from me." Jiro skipped the slice of cake Mina was offering to her and shyly gave the guy a vinyl record of both of their favorite rock band and a very popular brand of cologne that Denki had been going on about for the last few days. "Happy Birthday."

"Jiro-chan! You're so amazing!! Go out with me sometime!"

"I'll...I'll think about it.." she answered; but the guy's attention was immediately replaced by the guy sitting close to her.

"Shincchan! What did you get me?! Did you get me anything?! If not, it's fine. Just you being here with all of us is enough!"

"I actually did brought you a little something. It's just money in the form of a card." Hitoshi pulled it out from somewhere in his sleeve, kind of like a magic trick, and Denki took off his crown for him, just like that.

"Shincchan...If I'm being honest... this is the best birthday present ever— Not including [____]'s picture that she said she owes me—"

"—I never said anything of the sort!" [____] retorted.

"I didn't put much thought into it like the rest of your friends did, but okay."

"Right, but can you put some thought into going out with me sometime?!"

"You just asked her out—" Shinso was going to ask Jiro for her name, but Kaminari sat in between them to block each other from speaking.

"—She basically said no to me. I'm a free spirit and I have to move on eventually."

"This is getting weird..."

Kyoka crossed her arms; 'Guys are such players...'

⚡️LATER⚡️

"Kaminari...After all we've been through...This is how you repay me..." Minoru was still inside Denki's bedroom when he got the texts that proved their friendship was as brittle and damaged as badly bleached hair. "You had me looking for something that didn't exist for hours!"

⚡️EXTRA BIT⚡️
"late present"

The morning after his birthday, Denki was walking to school with Minoru, telling him every detail of his party since he wasn't there to experience it when [____] appeared from one of her portals in front of them; wearing her school uniform and all but her hair was a little messy. "Kaminari!!"

"Whoa, Princess. What's the matter? Did you get hurt on your way here?"

"No, I just slept late last night and rushed to get here on time, Uh—" She searched her school bag for the gift she forgot to give him on his birthday. "Sorry, I meant to give you this last night.."

Denki shook the small golden box next to his ear and smiled big. "It's a signed photo of you, I knew it!!"

"Huh? The box isn't even big enough to hold anything but jewelry..."

"Could it be wallet-sized?!" Mineta gasped.

"Yes, dude! I can definitely tell it's wallet sized!" Kaminari gasped back. "Wait!! It's the keychain that you promised! One out of fifteen!"

[____] shook her head at the two guys. "No!! Kami, just open it and find out!"

He obeyed her commands and gaped at the most expensive gift he had ever received from friends. "Holy crap...A golden bracelet? Is this forreal?! That's so kind of you, [____]!"

"I hope you like it— I don't know if you can even wear jewelry because of your quirk but it might be nice to use it once in a while, for a few hours...like, enough to watch a movie or eat dinner?"

"[____]-chan, are you trying to ask me out on a date?! YES!! YES, I WILL BE YOUR BOYFRIEND!!" Kaminari desperately accepted an invitation that hadn't been made.

"No, I'm not asking you out!"

"What a tease..." Mineta narrowed his eyes at her. "It's girls like these we have to look out for, Kaminari."

"Nah, [____] is different."

"I'm right here, you two!!" The girl didn't feel like she had to prove her existence to her classmates sometimes but there she was, waving her arm around like a windshield wiper.

"What I meant was that; next weekend...Shinso asked if I could watch a movie with him and I feel like if we go as a group, we can make better memories that way. Are you interested in going with us?"

Kaminari stopped functioning; all he could do was bob his head up and down and repeat himself in various ways. "Yes. Yes I would. I wholeheartedly will go. I agree. Yes!"

"Okay, cool! I'll text you the details on Friday. This is gonna be so much fun!" When [____] left, thinking what it was going to be like to watch another movie with two different guy friends, Minoru mentioned the cold hard truth to the golden-haired guy.

"Dude. You just agreed to being a third wheel."

"Yeah, but does it look like I care?! A date with [____] and Shincchan is priceless! I will make do with what I get!! This is the greatest birthday present, ever..."
