Hana gasped as she ran quicker, the beasts being knocked down one by one with her quirk, she used smaller plants to trip them but using it continuously slowed her down. Running faster she saw the camp in the distance. Smiling widely she was about there until a large beast made it in front of her. She had enough power to knock this thing down but she won't have any more energy to get to the camp.

Taking the chance, she got an idea.

------------------

Katsuki exploded yet another beast. He was starting to get mad. Hana was nowhere near him. Getting to the camp, he looked around quickly to find the girl but she wasn't in sight.

Suddenly loud thumps echoed throughout the area. One of the heroes who made the earth beasts looked confused as well.

A large beast popped out of the trees, and on the shoulder of the said beast.

"HANA?!" everyone turned to Katsuki surprised. Hana slid off the Beast and crumbled to her knees huffing tiredly. Katsuki walked over to Hana quickly and bumped shoulders with several of his sore and tired classmates. Hana smiled up at hway meekly. Midoriya was still recovering from Kota's punch.

"I did it!" she sighed tiredly. Getting up she walked over to Aizawa and stood by his side. Katsuki sighed and walked back over to the four heroes.

"Great Job! Though we thought you would get here earlier, we were timing ourselves seeing how long it would've taken us to complete that. But good thing, you made it for dinner. Go wash up in the baths and then get your food!" everyone tiredly cheered except a few people.

Hana jogged over to Katsuki, "Are we taking a bath?" Katsuki nodded, "It's going to be separated by Gender. But we'll be able to talk to each other---!" Katsuki felt himself be dragged off to the hot springs as Hana was dragged by Mina and Toru.

As Hana was getting undressed, she took out her hearing aids. Yaoyorozu tapped Hana's shoulder, "You can talk to me and I'll translate for the other girls." Yaoyorozu signed. Hana could tell that she was speaking while doing so.

"Thank you, " Hana signed back. She smiled softly.

As the girls lowered themselves in the baths. Hana was the last to get in the bath.

"So...Hana, how old are you?" Uraraka asked. Jirou was disinterested. Yaoyorozu translated.

"16 years of age."

"You're older than everyone!" Yaoyorozu called out.

"She's 16?" Asui questioned. Yaoyorozu nodded shocked as well. "I was born in February, " Hana added.

"A February baby, ooh!"

Jirou suddenly shivered, "I wonder what the boys are thinking right now---!"

"THESE WALLS ARE MEANT TO BE CLIMBED!" Mineta screamed from the other side.

"I FUCKING SWEAR IF YOU SEE HANA YOU PIECE OF SHIT I'LL EXPLODE YOUR ASS!" the girls glanced at the oblivious Hana as she lowered herself more in the water.

Kota shot Mineta down before he got to the top. Turning around he caught a glimpse of the girls.

"Thanks, Kota Baby!" Mina called out. Taking a glance at Hana who smiled gently at him. He fell on the other side, seems like Midoriya caught him from the sounds of it. Of course, Hana couldn't tell.

Hana got up from the water getting out and drying off with her towel. Turning to the girls she waved goodbye and went to change.

Seeing Kota on the way to her room. She smiled at him. He frowned. "You're not a hero...right?" Hana read his lips. She shook her head.

Katsuki rounded the corner and saw the too 'talking'. Hiding around the side, he watched as Hana squatted to Kota's height and opened her arms for a hug.

Surprisingly, he accepted it.

"It's only because you're not a hero!! So...don't get any ideas!" Kota began to get his tough-guy act chiseled away by Hana's welcoming arms.

"Oi." Katsuki called out.

Kota ripped himself out of Hana's arms making the deaf girl confused. Turning around she smiled brightly.

"Kagtsuuki!" she called out softly. Kota looked at her weirdly.

"She's Deaf, dumbass." Kota blushed darkly before running off the opposite way. "What's wrong?" Hana asked. Katsuki clicked his tongue before signing back, "I came to get you for Dinner, " Katsuki held his hand out for the girl to take and she smiled before holding it and walked back with the teen.

Sadly, some of the girls and Katsuki's group of boys saw them holding hands and dragged the two away and began to question them.

"Are you and Bakugou Dating?" Yaoyorozu asked. Mina and Toru had dragged the poor rich girl so they could talk to Hana. Hana looked around for a pen and pulled out a notebook.

We are not dating! We are just friends!

Hana shoved the notebook in their faces embarrassed. Mina wiggled her eyebrows.

"So what do you have to say about your crush on him, hm?" Hana barely heard what she said and she was thankful she was wearing her hearing aids.

Going beat red, she nearly thought that steam was coming out from her ears.

NO! I'm so screwed! If he finds out he might not want to be my friend anymore, or, or be my neighbor!

The three girls looked at the notebook and then looked up behind Hana and covered their mouths. Noticing their stare, Hana turned around and squeaked and hid her notebook under her hands. Smiling sheepishly, she waved.

"Hey, Katsuki!" she signed. Her heart was pounding. Katsuki glanced at the girls and the deaf girl.

Grabbing Hana's hand he dragged her off towards the rooms they would be staying in.

"Katsu--!" Hana was interrupted by Katsuki pinning her to the wall. They were in the boy's room to be specific. Glaring down at her form she squeaked and glanced away. Stepping closer, Hana looked up and they brushed noses.

"What were you so worked up about?"

Katsuki could see panic flash through her eyes. "Nothing! It was about what happened in the baths! With Mineta trying to climb up the wall. The girls were telling me about it--" Hana stopped completely as she looked at Katsuki's expression.

"Are you...jealous?" she signed gently, Katsuki faltered and backed up slightly. Suddenly some of the boys started to walk toward the room. Katsuki grabbed Hana's hand and ran to the nearest hiding spot.

Denki, Kirishima, and Sero entered to room. "Man! That hit the spot!" Denki stretched as he yawned. "Bakugou left right after we mentioned Hana." Sero pointed out. Kirishima nodded in agreement. "True, but wasn't that a little bit out of character for him? He would've either denied it or accept it. I doubt he would've told us, but.." Kirishima looked around the room.

"I thought I saw them walking over here." Kirishima sighed. "Let's head back." Sero and the other two boys left the room. Katsuki made sure that they actually left before pushing himself away from the blushing girl. They had hidden in the closest and the only way they could fit was being very close.

It wasn't as if they haven't been that close to each other before, but it was different now for Hana. She liked him. She liked him a lot.

It turns out that Katsuki wasn't good for her heart, she was scared at she'll have a heart attack before she even confesses her feelings to the ash blonde.

Speaking of which, Katsuki his eyes darted to Hana and then the door, reaching behind him he slid the door open and backed out. The corner of Hana's eyes crinkled as she realized the thought of confessing. Shifting her weight on her right foot she accidentally bumped into Katsuki him to grab her collar and drag her down with him.

They both grunted(Katsuki mostly) and Hana glanced at the boy. Her face burning as Katsuki's ears turned red. The door slid open to show Midoriya and Iida. The two boys looked at Hana and Katsuki. Hana was straddling Katsuki's waist her hands at either side of Katsuki's head while the ash-blonde had a fistful of Hana's shirt.

"WAH! I'M SORRY KACCHAN!!" Midoriya cried out he shoved Iida out of the room and slammed the door closed. Hana gasped and babbled out her signature broken Japanese and stumbled off the boy. Katsuki rubbed the back of his head.

Hana bowed at a 90-degree angle before dashing out of the room.

Katsuki sighed and thought back to where Hana was on top of him. Her hair slowly falling off her back and tickling his neck and jaw, her eyes shined with surprise and slight embarrassment. He covered his face.

He wasn't worthy of having the deaf girl as a friend.

It was clear to him.

He liked Hana.
