Eventually, we arrived to the hotel and. . .oh, boy. Where do I even begin?

The sign said 'Super 8' but half of the '8' was burned out so it looked like a '3'. Mina screeched and said, "YOU BROUGHT UP TO A SUPER 3 HOTEL? EWWWW!!"

"It's not like it would be a Hilton!" Deku replied.

"I don't even care. I'm so tired, I could fall asleep on the sidewalk!" I commented.

Katsuki replied, "The sidewalk might be cleaner, babe, than the rooms."

"At least there's another girl with me this time," I said, glancing at Mina.

Mina replied, "I hope the rest of our friends are okay after Bakugou BLASTED them out of the building."

He replied, "Eh, they'll show up when they show up."

So, we entered our hotel room—if you could call it that. The orange, shag carpet had more stains on it than Hero Killer. The wallpaper was scratched, ripped, and torn. The smell was nauseating, but Mina pulled out of her Victoria's Secret perfume and spritzed the room with it.

"Thank you, that smells so much better now," Katsuki snarked while rolling his eyes.

"Thanks! It's called Bombshell!" she grinned.

"How relevant," I chuckled.

The ceiling was black from mold. Katsuki walked over and turned down the comforter then quickly pulled it back up again, while saying, "Wow, it's like a portal to Narnia under here. Don't pull down the comforter if you know what's good for you."

"I call (Y/N)'s bed!" Mineta interjected.

"No way I'm sleepin' on that death trap! I call dibs on the tub." I walked over to the bathroom and opened the door, but the tub was missing. "Never mind."

Tenya said, "This place is an abomination! I demand to see the manager!"

"You mean that guy face down in the pool?" Deku replied, pointing outside.

Tenya rushed over, dove into the water, and brought the guy to the poolside. "Sir!! Are you dead!?"

He slowly opened his eyes and muttered, "Err. . .well, there was a building explosion off in de distance and it blew meh back in the water and I've been here 'er since."

Katsuki casually whistled.

"Oh, well—alright then! Could we get some clean towels then? And room service while you're at it?"

"I don't work here, but sure." The man staggered off and I swear, I think I saw him collapse a few yards away behind some trash cans.

"Katsuki?" I whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Wasn't that Present Mic?"

"Don't know, don't care. As long as we get some clean towels."

"Don't be mean!" I mothered. "This is all because I lost my Quirk anyway."

"Technically, it's my fault for getting kidnapped in the first place and making you vulnerable."

"No, it's mine because I put you at risk ever since I started dating you!"

He finished with, "Technically, it's Deku's fault. I don't know how, but I just know."

Deku approached Katsuki with an ancient Capri Sun and said, "Kacchan! I got this out of a hobo's pocket. Want some? Don't worry, I didn't drink it."

"Sure." Katsuki accepted it and starting slurping it.

I crossed my arms. "I thought you hated Deku."

"I don't hate Capri Suns."

"But you don't know where's it been!"

"I don't know where Deku's been but I still have to endure him."

Present Mic presented a present of pristine towels. "Alright, here's your stuff."

"Hey, Present Mic!" I tried to begin. "Have you seen All Might since he got whacked?"

"I don't know what I see at this point." He then waved me off and left. "Lost my mic, lost my glasses, lost my hair—but at least I still have my good looks."

Tenya only ignored him and continued dictating, "Alright, everyone! I will be assigning sleeping spots so everything is orderly! Remember, don't take off your blankets and keep them perfectly symmetrical on both sides of your shoulders so you won't catch the bubonic plague!"

Mineta squealed, "PLEASE ASSIGN ME CLOSEST TO (Y/N) OR MINA!!!"

By this time, Mineta's Quirk was losing stickiness so he and Tenya weren't practically handcuffed anymore.

Tenya lifted up Deku and placed him on the bed then tucked him in. "Alright, Midoriya can have the bed. I'll take the couch, Mineta takes a drawer, Bakugou gets the bathroom, and the two girls can have the other bed."

Katsuki put down several towels to make a DIY mattress. But when he opened the door, the smell knocked him back. "No way, not a chance." So, he threw Tenya on the bed with Deku and stole the couch.

Deku screamed so loud the windows shattered more than they already were.

Tenya spoke, "Trust me, I'm not happy about this either, young padawan. But urgent times call for urgent measures."

"Okay, Yoda," Katsuki retorted.

So, Deku crawled off the bed and slept on the floor. I felt bad for him and gave him my pillow, but five minutes into it, Deku screamed again, "A MOUSE JUST CRAWLED OVER MY FACE!!!"

"THEN SAVE IT FOR GRAN TORINO!" Katsuki screeched back.

"STOP YELLING!" Mina yelled.

I said, "Why don't some of us just share the couch with Katsuki? He's super warm and scares off the rats too!"

"Don't know what you're talkin' about."

But before he could finish, we all piled on top of him and around him. He was suffocating underneath us all, but he couldn't get enough oxygen to complain. I looked up at the ceiling one last time and saw Mirio's face sticking out—just staring at us with that goofy grin.

"Hi, friends."

But I was so used to it, I didn't even respond.

So, this was my new level of normalcy.

The next morning, I woke up to find all of us piled in a mountain on top of Katsuki. It was like Twister gone wrong. Tenya was using the armrest of the couch as a pillow—which probably gave him a cricked neck. Deku was falling off the couch with his red sneakers (which were still on) in Katsuki's face. Mineta was sinking beneath the armrest and the cushion. Mina was sprawled out across everyone while snoring.

"Hey, I have gum in my hair!" Mina complained.

"Sorry, that's mine," said Mineta.

"EWWWWW!!!" Mina rushed outside and jumped into the pool.

I awoke with a fierce headache because I had apparently slept with my head hanging over the side of the couch.

Katsuki started growling in frustration and boomed us all away from him. Thankfully, I was already off the pile before he exploded the guys.

"Erghh. . ." I tried standing up but I slammed into the wall because I was so dizzy from sleeping upside down. At some point, Mirio had come into the room because he was snuggled up in one of the beds, blissful and content.

As Katsuki stood up, took one look at Mirio, he stormed up and rolled him up in the blanket then shot him out the window.

I stumbled over and tripped into Katsuki, but thankfully, he caught me before I fell to the flea-infested carpet.

"Got you, babe. What's wrong?"

"I slept upside down like a bat and now I feel all dizzy. Ow." I closed my eyes to relieve the pain, but it didn't work.

Katsuki suddenly placed his hand near my forehead. I could feel the familiar warmth as he heated his hand to provide me some relief from the pain.

"Aww~ I wish I had a boyfriend that would do that for me!" Mina sighed.

"I VOLUNTEER! I VOLUNTEER!" Mineta breathlessly squalled. "I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!"

Tenya said, "Well, Mina. If you want a boyfriend, all you have to do is ask!"

"I was thinking more like Todoroki. He's got one hot hand and one cold hand! He's perfect!" she daydreamed.

"I'm surprised at you, Mina. That you would stoop so low as to only date a boy for his Quirk!" he scolded.

She replied, "Oh, Todoroki is so much more. He's HAWT and hes COLD. He's YES and he's NO."

So, we all did our morning apocalypse routine. As I was waiting for the other guys to finish up, I turned on the horrible quality box TV because someone it still worked. I changed it to the news and heard the most ridiculous claim.

"We've had an All Might sighting in the woods outside of the city! Apparently, he was in his gaunt form as shown from the last fight he had with All For One. The video clip of him showed him taking giant steps in the forest while turning his head over his shoulder at the camera, just like Bigfoot."

Deku sobbed and placed his hands on the screen, yelling, "ALL MIGHT!?!?!"

"So, viewers. Do you think there's a possibility All Might may still be alive? We have been flooded with calls from viewers who have claimed to have had All Might sightings. Who is this hobo that keeps appearing? Is it really All Might or an impersonator? Call us if you have any information at 1-800-TRUTH-OR-REAL."

Deku immediately pulled up the hotel's rotary phone and dialed the number. He began crying in incoherent speech, as if he confessing to a court of law. "HEH HEH, IT'S MY FAUL-FAULLLLT!! I SORREH I CAN'T BE STRANG!!!"

Not able to take it anymore, Katsuki ripped the phone out of the wall and chucked it out the window to join Mirio in the pool.

Katsuki said, "Alright, guys. We spent enough time in this stink hole. Let's get outta here and get some grub."

"But Katsuki!" I stopped him. "What about the news?"

"What about it?"

"All Might could be alive!"

"So, whattaya want me to do about it?"

"He could save us all!"

"I hate to break to ya, babe. But he has the physique of Willy Wonka. What can he do about anything?"

"Fine," I dropped it for now.

Picking up on my disappointment, Katsuki asked, "What's wrong, babe?"

"I'm just worried about All Might. He could have gotten eaten by bears."

"Why would the bears want him?"

I looked down again. He then pulled me close and said, "Don't worry. Deku's his love child. The geezer's bound to show up sooner or later. He's just waitin' for the cameras to roll again."

"You think so?"

At that point, Deku threw a grape ball at the back of my boyfriend's head and said, "Don't talk about All Might that way!!" he wailed.

"Don't deny it. We all know your dad's been "out of the country" for a while now."

Deku began thinking about it himself.

"Ya ever seen your birth certificate?"

"I must look further into this." Deku then walked off.

We headed out to get something to eat. Luckily, we came across a gas station. Maybe there would be food in there. The sign said 'Last Chance Truck Stop'.

"How convenient," Katsuki commented.

"Do you think there's Nomu in there?" Deku wondered.

"I dunno, why don't you walk in and find out?"

I nudged Katsuki's arm. "Man, I'm so hungry. Let's just go in."

"So, the fried Twinkies just aren't doing it for ya, babe?"

"It never did."

"Can I have one?" pleaded Deku.

"Sure." Katsuki pulled a half-eaten one out of his pocket and chucked it at him and it hit him in the forehead and knocked him down.

"Let's just get inside already!" I ran in the gas station, followed by the others.

When we walked in, I was pleasantly surprised that the place wasn't wrecked. We all made a beeline for the freezer section and pulled out pizzas, taquitos, fried chicken, and mac and cheese. We brought our goods to the deep fryers and microwaves.

"How do you do this?" Deku asked, plopping his frozen pizza in the deep fryer.

Mineta just took out the taquitos and started eating them raw. We heard loud crunching.

I turned on the hotdog rotator and placed my mac and cheese on the rollers. The frozen block of pasta slid off onto the floor. So, Mineta ate that too.

"Lemme help you, babe. If I hadn't had learn to cook, I woulda starved cuz my mom's cooking is trash," said Katsuki. "This place has got to have a cooler in the back with the good stuff."

Katsuki and I went to the back storage section and we found a walk-in cooler. We looked inside and found hamburger patties, buns, condiments, and French fries.

I tried to reach for the hamburgers and begged, "Oh, Katsuki! Please cook me a cheeseburger and fries."

"Sure thing," he responded. "But first thing's first." He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. "Just wanted to hold you for a sec and enjoy the sense of privacy."

I shivered as I said, "Okay~" And held him tighter with a smile.

"Here." He raised his body temperature and I immediately felt much better. I melted into the embrace and closed my eyes contently. Maybe that obnoxious snowman from that one movie was right. Warm hugs really were the best.

So, I said, "Olaf?"

"No."

Suddenly, the door opened and to my surprise, it was that wind guy Inasa Something-Or-Other from the provisional license exam. Of all the people, it had to be who Katsuki hated most.

"OH, GOODNESS!" He bowed, slamming his head into the floor. "AM I INTERRUPTING SOMETHING?"

Katsuki sharpened his eyes. "Wait, you're that loser who caused me to fail that exam!!"

"Technically, I was fighting Todoroki the whole time," he excused.

"I sensed your presence and it ticked me off! Now make like Scarlett and begone with the wind!"

Inasa marched toward us and saluted me. "I admire your crystalline qualities. You are a rare tulip in a midst of weeds."

"Uh, thanks?" I answered, eating a frozen hamburger bun.

"My name is Inasa Yoarashi! If you ever get tired of that firecracker, I'm available!"

Katsuki started to fume. Sparks were flying from his hands.

After every guy had hit on me since this apocalypse began, I finally had enough.

"Look, windbag. Don't think for one second you can waltz in here and use your overused pickup lines on me. I don't know you, creepo. I don't wanna know you! So, make like a tree and leave!"

As he walked out the door, he grabbed a can of chunk meat, bowed to the floor again, and said, "My apologies, ma'am."

After he left, Katsuki stared at me, mesmerized. "That's my Queen Explosion Murder."

I only giggled.

"Now, it's chow time," he exclaimed.

It was at that moment, Katsuki became the embodiment of Gordan Ramsey.
