Despite the few days passing by and college starting so soon, I couldn't forget the warmth I felt. He had used his ice quirk through his hand when he had felt my sweaty palm, so why did it still feel so warm?

"Are you crying aga- oh, you're not," my mother's head poked in and I pursed my lips.

"It was once in the car when we were coming home," I cleared.

"It was to the point of where you couldn't breathe and you clutched your chest with all the life left in you."

"I hate when that happens," I spoke softly, my head hung low. "Why does that family keep bouncing with ours, I don't want any ties with them anymore," I felt my voice waver before I stopped talking altogether.

"I'm sorry."

My eyes went wide and my lips parted before my head snapped up to speak in disagreement to her two words yet she held up a hand to silence me before I could say anything.

"I had heard rumors of the last Todoroki attending U.A. University yet brushed them off in pure hope of him not ending up in your class or it being false altogether. I had no idea that it was confirmed, and my mind hadn't gone as far as to prepare for his father being there as well," her calm voice made me feel safe as she talked. "Good news is that he's not any part of the college staff and encounters with him will be minimal, but still required due to his son being in the same class as you."

"I know it's not your fault or doing and anything related is out of your control," I explained and she quickly spoke up.

"The same thing applies to his son."

My eyes widened slightly at her words.

"Shoto, that is," she clarified and I found myself nodding in agreement with her. "See him for who he is and what he can do as an equal and classmate. His father acts on his own awful accord, with no influence of Shoto's being at all, whatsoever. Got that?"

"Yes."

She blew a breath out, stepping towards me to pull me into her hold.

"Remember this as final words on this," she brushed my hair back to look me in my eyes.

"Of course," I nodded.

"You can't go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending."

I blinked, the words registering in my head as I nodded again.

"Don't punish someone for a crime they never were guilty of committing, okay?"

I nodded barely before I buried myself into her hold, her arms tightening around me.

"Thank you."

"It seemed like you needed it."

"I did," I felt my chest crumble again, clutching onto my mother. "I really did."

"Gonna cry again?"

"I don't know anymore."

"And that's alright, take your time and know you're not alone. That's what matters so breathe, baby, breathe."

The night of moving into the dorms had came and we were told that the roommates had already been assigned. When our class would gather in the main room, the pairs would be told, not available for debate unless under drastic measures which sounded reasonable enough to all of us.

"My baby girl is all grown up!" My mother gushed on.

"Mom, you're a teacher here, it's not even like we'll be far from each other," I sighed at my sobbing mother when we came to the entrance of the building.

Each grouped class had a different building so the sections wouldn't get jumbled together for main rooms.

"I can't believe you're leaving me like this," she clutched her bag close to her.

"Mom, we've got to part now, I'll go greet my classmates and you group up with the rest of the teachers," I told her and she lit up at my words.

"You're right, I've missed the others so much! See you soon, my cinnamon pumpkin!"

With a wave, she ran off before I could say something else. So much for her being dramatic about me leaving.

"Kayama! Over here!"

I grinned, getting closer to the few classmates that were grouped together while others came in as well.

"I heard you were nominated for best dressed girl for the event we had a few days ago," gravity girl gushed and I furrowed my brows.

"I didn't know that was a thing."

Oh, but my mother must have.

With a sigh, I brushed it off, turning to see the rest of our classmates greet us.

"Hey guys, it still haunts me that they said they'd be having a group of three for the boys," Kaminari shivered.

"It'd be a delight if they mixed genders, imagine all the sights we'd see," purple boy drooled.

"Get your jaw off of the floor, we don't know if they changed the policy or if it's confirmed or not at all," Kirishima sighed. "I did hear them say it when I was getting cookies though, but who knows about teachers?"

"Got that right," Kaminari leaned back against the wall.

"Hey, get out of my way, you fuckass sparkling water cunt!"

I rolled my eyes at the familiar voice, nearly smiling at the sight of the green boy's light blush as he walked in with Katsuki.

"Sorry, Suki, I wanted to know more about the rooming arrangements," I laughed lightly, knowing the question Kaminari would ask after.

"If we have mixed genders, who do you want to room with?"

"Zuku."

I answered without hesitation, my eyes staring dead center into the red ones that roared with rage.

"That's no surprise, he'd be a great roommate," acid girl added on. "And it'd be like having sleepovers with a best friend every day!" She cheered.

"Quit your yapping, you pepto bismol bitch."

"Very rude, Suki," I tsked him. "It's not our fault that Zuku would be such a perfect person to be all paired up with for the entir-"

"Shut your ass before I blow it to bits," he gritted his teeth, his palms emitting small bubbles of his flaring fury.

"How cute, light bulb wants a battle? I'll give you war," I spat back, narrowing my eyes as we both leaned in, our palms ready as they held sweat.

"Hey hey," Izuku came between us before anything could become, his hand over Katsuki's chest relaxing him.

"Alright, listen up."

Our attention turned to Aizawa as he stood before us now, shuffling the papers in his hands before he called us over to stand around a table. Unfolding what was in his hands, he spread it over the table, stepping back to watch the commotion that was to occur in a second.

"The pairs for dorms have been decided."

Each of our eyes went down the paper to search for our names and who would be next to them. Shy boy, lips boy, and organ boy were the first on the paper, also listed as the only group of three. That meant there'd be a pair of both genders.

Fucking fucker of fucks.

"I'm with Sero, that's really nice!" Tail boy smiled while tape boy cheered in excitement to the other's tail wagging about.

"I'm with Aoyama? What a bummer! I wanted a hot chick!" Purple boy groaned while sparkle boy smacked the back of his head.

"Be grateful for me, for I have blessed us with my glitter!"

"Tokoyami! Our pair was very well made, it'll be an honor to room with you!" Glasses boy shook bird boy's hand while they stood together as well, the rest of us left still standing around the table while we read ahead.

"We're t-together."

Kaminari and Kirishima's eyes went wide at the words they spoke together, their lips in shy smiles as they stared at each other before nervously laughing and making their way to stand beside the rest of the pairs.

"You're with that pasta sauce fucker?" Katsuki's enraged voice called out to Izuku.

"I guess so, I'm happy to be friends with Todoroki!" The green haired cheered before turning to the other.

"I'm not here to make friends."

Neither was I but here we both are buddy. I mentally said, laughing internally.

"Mina, I'm so relieved!"

Invisible girl and acid girl rejoiced while they walked to the pairs.

"Uraraka, we're paired, ribbit!"

"Yeah, it'll be so fun, Tsu!"

Gravity girl and frog girl talked to each other while the final pairs were coming together.

"It'll be a pleasure to be paired with you for the dorms!" Creation girl smiled, walking away with headphone girl.

"Oh, fucking hell no."

My words were met with my name over the paper, wanting to rip it apart, yet it seemed my quirk was quicker to act as my arm burst to flames to burn the paper.

"I'm not fucking rooming with light bulb boy."

"Bitch, if you don't shut your ass, I'll-"

"You'll fucking what? You can't do fucking shit, asshat. We're already paired together, so fuck off with the empty threats."

"You think they're empty? Let me fill them for you then!"

He charged towards me, his palm emitting smoke and I let the sparks fly over my hand to shock him, stepping towards him.

"Quit it, both of you idiots!"

Our quirks were cancelled out, bumping into sides of a person. We both groaned slightly, staring up at our teacher.

"This is exactly why you two were paired up. This pair was actually done by my hands, so I'm pretty proud of it and it will not be changed under any sort of discussion."

He flashed a dead smile at us, turning back to the rest of the class while Katsuki and I made our separate ways back to the paired up group.

"Now then, now that everyone has found out who they're going to be living with for the rest of the time here, I want to clear up the fact that these pairings were mostly made randomly and under close examination of your class during the introduction ceremony you all had attended a few nights ago," he let out a breath, looking over at us. "Get settled into your rooms, they will have your name plates. Sleep if you'd like or do as you please because I couldn't care less and tomorrow will be focused on the dorms. As in, if any customizations want to be done or decorating, any finishing up on unpacking can also be done, so stay up as late as you'd like, or don't sleep at all. That's all. Farewell, we shall meet again sooner than I'd prefer."

"What the fuck."

My words were said out of frustration and I snapped my gaze towards Katsuki.

"Hey, bitch," I called out to him, watching his eye twitch. "We've got to get to know each other like the sweat on the palms of our hands if we're going to be doing this shit, which we are because we don't have a fucking choice, so can you not be a cunt about it?"

"I'll show you cunt, yo-"

"Actually, show me your dick instead, if we get this shit out of the way first, there won't be any awkwardness between us as we progress," I explained and he stared at me. "I'll show you my tits too so it's only fair," I deadpanned.

"Some roommates they're gonna be, huh?" Kirishima laughed lightly while we both began to argue.

"Kayama is like the babe version of Bakugo."

Katsuki and I even fell silent at purple boy's words.

"It's hella hot."
