Notes See the end of the work for notes ***** A Big Sleep ***** Tooru stood outside the apartment, hesitating before she knocked. She felt as though she looked like a ghost from afar, inhabiting a uniform that some visible body had once worn, wholly out of place to the apartment block. Behind her, the sun was dipping in the sky, and twilight would be gloaming soon, shining in a crimson glare through the gaps where her skin would be showing. This whole affair had been Mina’s idea, but it was definitely borne from the fact that she, Tooru, had confided in her that she’d never been to a sleepover before. Mina’s reaction was appropriate.“WHAT?? Never? Okay, we’re fixing that this weekend. I’ll get everybody else on board. The more the merrier, yeah? Your first sleepover oughta be special!” Which, of course, not for lack of trying—she was generally an outgoing person, at least she thought—and she didn’t have any issues fitting in with people at school. She wasn’t dreading it, obviously, but there didn’t seem a lot she could DO at a sleepover. No painting of nails for her, given that it wasn’t practical for school. She’d brought her favorite robe, which she adored, with the swallow designs on the sides. Nobody was expecting PJs, right? There was a twisting feeling in the pit of her stomach. Tooru always wanted to be noticed. She craved people noticing her. But this all seemed a bit… fast. Mina was almost too good at noticing her, and she was thankful for having a friend who was so outgoing, even to a much greater degree than her. “Mn! I’m overthinking this,” she whispered to herself. Before she could rap her knuckles on the door, however, it swung open to reveal Mina, scantily clad in a top and yoga pants, wreathed in light from the common room, with pop music roaring out the doorway. She was like some kind of lavender angel, bursting from the mouth of heaven, as she reached forward and grasped Tooru’s wrist, to wrench her whole body, even if it were unseen, into the foray of teenage girl interaction. “You’re late, lady of the hour! Come on inside!” Mina’s apartment was surprisingly spacious, and she lived alone, so she’d pretty much immediately volunteered it for their stomping grounds.  By the time the other five had arrived, she’d already put out futons in the living area and mugs of hot cocoa, and their party was well underway before the sun was even beginning to dip in the sky. Somewhere into their conversation about their Quirks, which was pretty much the ever-present topic of discussion with each other at school, Tooru felt it: the shift from being nascent heroes to being just teenagers with superpowers. “Man,” whined Mina, “all you guys have such cool Quirks! Mine’s just weird.” “Oh, I love yours, Mina-chan! It’s so flashy,” Ochako mused. “It’s very suited to being a combat hero.” “Yeah, just sometimes I wish it were a little more toned down, like Tooru’s.” “You really think this is toned down, Mina-chan?” asked Tooru, motioning to herself with one seemingly empty sleeve. “Well,” stumbled Mina, “not toned down, per se? Just, I guess, less destructive.” “I imagine your Quirk lends itself to mishaps quite readily,” said Momo. “You wouldn’t believe how annoyed my dad got when I was growing up. I had to wrap my bed in this, like, corrosion-resistant tarp because one time when I was eight I had a nightmare, and I burned through it in the middle of the night.” Mina’s eyes trailed upwards in thought. “I’ve got so many good stories from when I was little, kyu~,” said Tsuyu. “Pretty much every time I figured out something new I could do I would drive everybody in my house nuts.” “Like what?” asked Ochako. “Ohh, you know, everything,” grinned Tsuyu. “Walking on the ceiling, changing the channel on the TV with my tongue, taking my stomach out at the dinner table. Everybody in my family has the same kind of Quirk I do, but my dad’s pretty strict about not doing that kind of stuff around the house. I kept doing it until they basically just got used to it. I was pretty much the worst child ever.” “One time, when I was little, these big dudes in black suits showed up to our house, and they offered to teach me to become a spy and work for the Russian government,” giggled Tooru. “Whoa, really?” asked Tsuyu, incredulously. Tooru bounced furiously, her version of a nod, which was a difficult motion to get across when you were invisible. It had been a real thing that had happened, and it was oddly frightening to think back on; their calm voices, speaking in lightly-accented Japanese, and the ominous locked briefcase they had brought with, which Tooru hadn’t seen the inside of. “Man, I totally would take that deal! That sounds awesome,” said Kyouka. “I’ve got like, one, maybe two practical applications for my Quirk. I have literally never bought a pair of headphones in my life.” “Yeah, I mean, Momo-chan has us all beat for practicality,” said Tsuyu. Momo’s face turned pink, and she hid a little behind a big stuffed bear she had brought along. “Well,” she mumbled, “I can’t deny that. I can’t handle a lot of very fine detail, but I can pretty much make anything you would normally need in a house.” Mina stuck out her bottom lip. “Ugh, see, Momo-chan has such a cool Quirk. Actually, all you guys have super cool Quirks. Mine just causes tons of problems.” “You seem like you got a pretty good handle on it, though,” said Kyouka. “Yeah, I haven’t, like, melted any more beds or anything.” Mina cracked a mischievous smile. “Sometimes I burn little holes in my clothes and shoes and stuff when I’m careless. I’ve gotten really good at controlling the acidity, so like, usually the worst is a little tiny bleach spot here and there. Although, there was this one time…” She trailed off. “’This one time?’” needled Tsuyu. Mina looked around at all of them, her eyes narrowed and a wide smile on her face. “Oh my god, if I tell you guys, you gotta promise to not share it with anybody.” Ochako looked around everybody else. “We promise, Mina-chan.” “Mmmmm, okay, but…” Kyouka looked extra interested. “Just tell us.” Mina took a deep breath, absentmindedly running a fingertip across the palm of her hand. “Well, um, I have pretty good control how corrosive the goo on my hands and feet gets, but, uhhh, I’ve had less success with my vaginal fluid. Like, normally, it’s absolutely nothing, just like, regular levels, and then… well, if I’m hooking up with somebody, it gets a little harder to control.” Ochako and Momo looked aghast, but interested. Kyouka and Tsuyu looked like they were about to burst with excitement. “No way,” Kyouka breathed. “There is absolutely a story here and you’re going to tell it,” said Tsuyu impishly. “Okay, it’s only happened once and like, this totally doesn’t leave this room.” Tooru was entranced. “Absolutely.” “So, like, last summer was kinda hectic and all with getting ready to apply to U.A. and stuff, and my older sister’s boyfriend was staying with us because he was starting this internship with a place in town… anyways, he was around a lot and we hung out like every day and he was really cute and he had a nose ring and really pretty horns and…” Mina shook her head. “Sorry, getting away from myself. So one day we were both around and both had spent so much with each other, and… well, it was my first time, and like, I think he just surprised me is all?? Maybe with how big he was. It was going really good for like, three minutes? Maybe four? And then he just like, yelps and pulls out and…” Kyouka had a delighted expression on her face. “Yikes.” Mina’s lavender face was ribboned with pink. “Yikes is totally right. I mean, he didn’t lose his hardware, or anything. But, I ate through the condom, and like, gave him the equivalent of a bad sunburn. God, I was so embarrassed. We didn’t try anything for the rest of the summer. We didn’t even kiss!” “I can’t wait to tell the whole class about this,” said Tsuyu. “Tsuuuuuuuuuuu!” “Joking, kyu~! Besides, I can’t mock you with anything more successful. I’ve never had sex,” remarked Tsuyu, whilst playing with the tip of her tongue. “Me neither,” said Ochako wondrously. “That’s so cool that you’ve gotten that far, though! I’m a little jealous.” “Yeah, I’m jealous too,” chimed Tooru. “I’ve never even kissed anybody.” Everyone gaped at her. Tooru’s voice was incredulous. “Really? Everybody but me? Even Momo-chan?” “Hey! Do I really seem like that much of a prude?” asked Momo huffily. “Well, I don’t r-recall liking it very much, but it was an experience for sure.” Mina snatched Tooru around the midsection with both arms from behind and lightly roused her back and forth. “Hee hee, it’s a good thing you’re at a sleepover, where you can get in plenty of kissing practice.” “Mina, this isn’t a low-budget American high school comedy movie,” said Kyouka reproachfully. “Anyways, you’d better let go of her, I can literally feel Tooru blushing from here.” “Look, Tooru-chan, I just wanna let you know, if you want to kiss me, we can kiss.” “You should go for it, Tooru-chan,” Tsuyu goaded, her eyes wide with scandalous personal investment. Tooru looked back and forth from Mina to Kyouka to Tsuyu to Ochako to Momo. “Um, this is what you all normally do at sleepovers?” “I don’t think there’s, like, an official schedule for sleepovers,” said Tsuyu. “I think it’s at least common,” said Ochako helpfully. Almost as if on cue, Momo blushed harder. “But I don’t think kissing girls really counts though, does it?” asked Ochako. “Yeah, ‘if it’s between girls it doesn’t count,’” Mina added silkily. “Your call, Tooru-chan.” It felt like, in her mind, Tooru had already made the decision. She was naturally impulsive, she just had trouble getting noticed. The mood in the room was dreamlike, all splattered in bright colors and perfumed by their presence. It was as if Tooru had taken a portal to a different realm, one that obeyed different laws, and she closed her eyes to right herself, steeling her own resolve. When she opened them, the colors were all melting into one another, and her heart sounded like a fanfare in her ears, and Mina was face to face with her like some kind of aposematic predator, dangerous and beautiful. She was extremely beautiful, now that Tooru took a closer look. ***** Riled ***** “Yes. I wanna kiss you, Mina-chan,” Tooru blurted out, to a round of giggles from Tsuyu and Kyouka. “You sure made up your mind fast,” said Kyouka, drinking a protracted quaff of cocoa. “Oh, don’t tease her. Tooru’s never kissed anybody before, I think it makes sense she’d be eager to.” “Tooru-chan, seriously, you don’t HAVE to do it,” Ochako said conciliatorily. “No! I’m all riled up now,” Tooru shot back. “C’mere and let’s do this.” The other girls huddled around them as Mina faced Tooru at looked, more or less, at where her face was. “Um, uh, Tooru,” Mina giggled, “I don’t know where your lips are so, uh, you’re gonna have to drive.” Tooru faced Mina, took hold of her cheeks, summed up her courage, and placed a kiss on her lips with a soft smek. Mina burst into giggles again. “Oh, come on!” “What? That was a kiss!” “Tooru, that was, like, a peck.” “Well, I don’t know how to… do anything more intense than that.” “Look, just put your lips up to mine and I’ll show you how.” The room was oddly electric, with the girls thronging around them. Mina started slow, each roil of their lips ending with a wet smack, moving up to putting her tongue into Tooru’s mouth. Tooru felt her energy and pushed back, wrapping her arms around Mina while the two kissed. Time seemed to pass in glassy slowness. Tooru was aware, suddenly, that there were only two people making noise in the room, and the rest of the girls were waiting with baited breath. Mina had a hungry look in her eyes when they pulled apart, and she brought a finger up to trace the wet edge of her lips. “Wow,” said Kyouka readily. “That sure was… something.” “Wasn’t that fun, Tooru-chan?” asked Tsuyu. She was still breathing heavily, and it seemed to take a while before Tooru had the breath to speak. “Totally.” “You, uhh…” Tsuyu’s lips curled into another smile. “You were moaning towards the end.” “What? I—I was?” “You really were,” said Ochako, her face bright pink to match the others. “It was like, heavy breathing plus you moaning. Plus lip sounds.” “You were like a romance novel protagonist,” piped up Momo, and at this, Tooru curled up under a blanket and sank from view, thankful that the others couldn’t see the expression on her face. “Ohhh, come back!” said Ochako. Mina drummed her fingers on the lump in the blanket. “Look, sorry for teasing you, Tooru-chan. That was really fun and you’re a really good kisser.” “Really?” Mina gave a big grin, showing two rows of pearly white teeth. “Totally! Guys love it when you’re really loud and expressive, they eat that up.” “Just remember, Tooru-chan,” said Kyouka, “despite all those good feelings, ’kissing girls doesn’t count,’ or something.” “Oh.” Tooru faltered a little. It seemed like, for a few seconds, that she’d embarrassed herself in front of her friends and ultimately didn’t solve anything about her own experience. “What? I definitely think that counted,” said Mina. She looked around at everybody else. “I mean, right? Tooru, you definitely made that count.” “Doesn’t stick unless you test it on a boyyyyy,” drawled Tsuyu, rolling around on the floor and glancing, with eerie accuracy, right into Tooru’s eyes. “Nah, Mina-chan’s right. If she did that to a boy, she’d knock him senseless. I don’t think she needs to prove anything more,” Kyouka remarked. “Let’s just say it counted and stop teasing the shit out of her.” “No,” said Tooru, with a conviction that took everybody aback. A bit of a pause followed. “Tooru-chan,” Ochako began, diplomatically, “nobody’s gonna force you into—” “No,” Tooru repeated. “Get me a boy, and I’ll kiss him in front of you guys. Then we’ll all be on even terms. I mean, except for Mina-chan, who’s, you know, actually had sex.” “Gave a guy dick blisters, you mean,” Tsuyu said, through a wide, shit-eating smirk, and Kyouka stifled a snicker with one hand. Mina shot daggers at both of them. “What do you mean, ‘get you a boy,’?” asked Ochako. “Like, any boy?” “Uh, well…” Tooru thought for a second. “Probably not, like, any boy.” “I think, if you were really serious, it’d be most feasible to do this with somebody we already know,” Momo pointed out. Once again, a gravid pause. Mina broke the silence, trying to keep a straight face. “Soooooooo, who, out of the boys in our class, do you guys think is cute?” ***** Upon the Topic of Reasonability ***** Momo wrinkled her nose. “I’m not certain there are any boys in the class worth kissing, to be honest. Well…” She trailed off in thought. “What, were you gonna say Iida?” asked Kyouka. “I wasn’t—I—look, I admire his passion.” Mina and Tooru both burst out laughing. “What? It’s not as bad as the crush Kyouka-chan has on Kaminari-kun,” Momo shot back testily, to the intense and immediate recoil of Kyouka. “I do NOT have a crush on Kaminari—” “You absolutely do—” “That guy is a pig and an idiot—” “Well, you’re so abusive to him on a daily basis, but I think I remember a certain day when you were very moody,” sneered Momo, “and it was the very same day that Kaminari-kun started flirting with Ochako-chan.” Ochako’s jaw dropped. “I just—I thought he was just being friendly,” said Ochako hastily. “Did I end up leading him on??” “I think he was just trying to get friendly with your pussy,” said Tsuyu crudely. Momo nearly winced at the mention of ‘pussy.’ “I’ve kinda had a thing for Kirishima all year,” Mina said sheepishly. “But, to be honest, it’s mostly because I think his Quirk at max hardness could stand up to… whatever my vagina is pumping out.” “I’d kiss Kirishima,” Kyouka conceded. “Kirishima is totally cute,” added Tsuyu. “He’s also pretty dumb, so you’d have to spell it out on a sign or something if you wanted to make out with him.” “I think anybody is better than Mineta,” Ochako said, to a round of full, vigorous nodding from everybody. “What about Todoroki?” “Angst.” Kyouka listed off reasons with the fingers of one hand. “Arrogant. Daddy issues.” “Too brooding! But he is kinda cute,” Mina apprised. “Okay, don’t tell anybody, but I think Tokoyami’s kinda cute,” Ochako admitted with a smile. “I just think he’s kinda too intense for me.” “Do you think you could make out with his beak?” “Mm,” thought Ochako. “Maybe? Not like, right off the bat. I would need like, a bit of prep time.” “I think I agree with you on that,” said Momo. “You guys are so unadventurous! Okay, if we’re at the ‘don’t tell anybody’’s already, I think Bakugo’s kinda cute,” said Mina, clearly thinking out loud. Kyouka spat out a short, barking laugh. “What? Do you disagree, Kyouka-chan?” “Honey, Bakugo is 100% gay. Have you seen that look in his eyes when he glares at Midoriya? They’ve had that, like, blood feud since they were in grade school, and I just know that Bakugo wants to get his hands all over him.” “’The fated battle between men,’” Ochako breathed. “The fated battle between dicks, probably,” murmured Kyouka. “Seriously, imagine them kissing.” “Actually, you know what?” Tooru piped up, having not contributed to the discussion thus yet. “I think Midoriya’s super cute.” Most of Tooru’s inner aesthetic opinions on boys from school were more or less within the realm of reasonability, but she thought Midoriya Izuku was at least cute and seemed like a genuine person. At this comment, however, everyone chimed in. “Really?” said Kyouka. “He’s so… plain,” Momo mused. “Not to mention awkward,” giggled Mina. “He seems a little high-strung.” “I think he’s kinda cool, though. He’s got that weird Quirk that he can’t handle, and he freaks out any time somebody compares it to All Might,” Tsuyu pointed out. “I mean, yeah,” said Tooru. “All of those things are true, but, I dunno. I don’t really know what he’s like outside school.” “Occhan,” Mina said, turning to Ochako,”you guys are always together. What’s he like?” “Deku-kun? Well none of you guys have ever really hung out with him, right?” asked Ochako. Everybody else shook their heads. “I think he’s super cool. We’ve hung out a bunch,” Ochako said, a finger posed on her chin as she thought. “He’s a pretty… thoughtful and passionate person, I think. Like, all things considered.” “I do like his fluffy hair,” Mina tossed out as a consolation. “Occhan, would you kiss Midoriya?” Ochako snorted in laughter a little. “Um, probably not on, like, a whim? Maybe? Mm, probably. I mean, I think he’s pretty cool, and like, pretty reasonably cute? I think mostly because I don’t associate him with, you know, ‘kissability.’” “Yeah, you know what? I’ll change my stance a little. I think he’s cute,” Mina declared. “I’ve definitely thought he was cute for a while,” said Tsuyu. “You could do worse than Midoriya,” Kyouka acceded, cleaning her nails absentmindedly. The conversation about boys slowed to a grinding halt after discussing Izuku, and a brief wave of quiet spread through the six girls in the plush bastion of the common room. Again, it was Mina who spoke first. “Hey Occhan,” asked Mina, “do you have Midoriya’s number?” “Hm? Yeah, I do.” A devilish smile slowly spread across Mina’s face, and her yellow eyes were alight. “You, uh, think he’s free right now?” “Probably? I don’t know what he gets up to on the weekends. Why?” “I wanna get him to come over.” ***** Puerile and Conspiratorial ***** Ochako laughed. “Oh my god, no.” “Why not? Tooru-chan thinks he’s cute.” “I literally don’t think there’s any way for this situation not to be awkward,” said Ochako, her smile crossed with uncertainty. “Besides, that’s super embarrassing for Tooru-chan and Deku-kun both.” “Who says it is for me?” Tooru asked. “I mean, now that I think about it, I do walk around naked like 90% of the time.” “Tooru-chan, you got embarrassed because we pointed out that you got really into kissing, and you went and hid,” said Kyouka. “Like, this would be funny if you got Midoriya to come over, but I’m inclined to agree with Occhan. Even if you do work up the courage for this, Midoriya will probably die from embarrassment.” “I think, maybe, there’s a way we could make it not awkward for Midoriya-kun,” Momo said, conciliatorily. “Seriously, Momo-chan, you too?” Momo blushed a little, and shrugged. “Look, I can’t deny that I’m not at least a little invested.” “Have you guys gone nuts? Jeez,” Ochako said, looking around at all of them. “C’mon, Occhan, gimme your phone,” Mina said, with a bouncy girlishness. “No.” “C’monnnnnn,” Mina whined. “It’ll be funnnnn. It’ll be a bonding experience for the girls of 1-A.” “Oh, knock it off, Mina-chan.” “Mmmmmmmmm,” Mina continued, pouting loudly, as she reached across the circle for Ochako’s phone, a pink-and-white affair in a heavy-duty case. “Oh my god, stop, Mina,” Ochako laughed, reaching her phone first. Mina pawed at her hands as Ochako played keep-away. A chill went through the immediate vicinity as Ochako used her Quirk, and lightly batted it away from Mina, to float lazily toward the kitchen. Just as it seemed like Ochako had won, however, Tsuyu’s pink tongue shot out of nowhere, and she retrieved it and quickly gave it to Mina. “Not you too, Tsu-chan!” wailed Ochako. “Nice save, Tsuuuu,” Mina trilled. “Kyu~! Of course I’m down for this,” Tsuyu said. She bore a look of intense, focused anticipation, and she stared at Mina with her eyes wide. “If you can convinced Midoriya to come to a house full of cackling girls and kiss Tooru-chan without him spontaneously combusting, I will literally never doubt you ever again, Mina-chan,” wagered Kyouka. “What’s your passcode, Occhan?” “Like hell I’d tell you!” Ochako tackled Mina, knocking her on her back. Mina wriggled a little, to which Ochako responded by grabbing her wrists and holding her in place. “Please, Occhan?” Mina went limp under Ochako’s grip. With Ochako towering over her, she looked a little crestfallen. “Look… I’m not trying to piss you off, Occhan. I’m just trying to make this night a little more fun. Like, not just for Tooru. For all of us. And you said that like, Midoriya was super cool, and none of us have hung out with him outside school, so… I kinda wanna get to know him better.” Ochako paused. “Just… please promise me you’ll be gentle.” “I promise. I’m the gentlest person you know,” Mina said, her voice syrupy. Ochako surveyed the room, scanning her eyes across each girl, still posed above Mina, holding her in place. “Seriously, am I the only person who thinks this has the potential to get weird?” “Yeah, it totally does. But weird is good, right?” Giving her most innocent smile, Mina stared up at Ochako with the same hungry look that she’d given Tooru. “Tooru-chan, are you really okay with this?” Ochako asked her, her voice pleading. “Yes,” said Tooru. “I mean, I trust you. And I trust Mina-chan and everybody else.” Ochako gave a long sigh, and her voice softened with a little “Fine.” She dismounted and released the hold she held on Mina’s wrists. “Awesome! Thank you, Occhan.” Ochako held her arm out, palm up, and stared directly at Mina, her expression set. “Mina, give me my phone back.” “What? But you just said—” “There is no way that you’re going to be able to make this not seem like a joke. If anybody’s gonna convince Deku-kun to come over, it’ll be me.” Her brow was furrowed, and Tooru could see that Ochako was determined. “That’s fair.” Mina proffered Ochako’s phone back to her, which the latter took, gingerly and stared at for a couple seconds. “Whoa, Occhan, that was super cool,” said Kyouka. “You’re like a cowboy. You’ll make a crazy cool hero someday.” Ochako seemed to remember where she was, and the gravity of the situation. She blushed. Turning to Tooru, she asked her, “Look, you’re cool with all this, right? You’re gonna end up the main attraction, after all.” Tooru thought back to the years of feeling lonely, her friends losing track of her and playing without her. She thought about how a boy had never called her cute, or ugly, for that matter. She wanted to be cute, or ugly, or anything and everything in between. She was sick of being neutral. She was going to be noticed, even if the night took a turn for the worse. She had already staked her bets on Mina to help her out to begin with. She took a bracing breath. “Yeah,” said Tooru. “This’ll be fun.” Izuku, as it turns out, was free. Given that his Friday evenings were normally spent in front of his computer, checking up on the reports from recent heroes, scrobbling the threads on the bigger hero fandom websites, he was very free. The sun was setting now, and he was lazily doing curls with his favorite dumbbell while scrolling with his other hand. His phone ringing was a wholly alien experience, and when he turned it over and saw Uraraka Ochako’s name, emblazoned in bright white letters, he nearly dropped it. His heart was pounding fast when he answered. “H-hello? Uraraka-san?” Ochako’s voice came through, loud and cheery on the other end. “Deku-kun? Hey! What are you up to right now?” “Uhh, n-nothing. What’s up with you?” “Do you wanna come hang out?” Izuku heard a smattering of giggles, nebulous background noise as Ochako wrestled the phone back. “Hang out? Like, now? With you?” “Um, yeah!” “Yeah, sure! Where are you right now?” “We’re at Mina-chan’s apartment. It’s all the girls in 1-A,” Ochako said. Izuku distinctly heard “Tell him to bring an overnight bag” from someone in the background, probably Tsuyu. “Are you guys having like, a party, or something?” Another round of furious giggling. Ochako sounded like she was holding back a laugh also. “Uh, no, we’re just… kinda hangin’ out. You should really come by! It’ll be fun.” “Okay! Yeah, I’ll come by! Um, should I really p-pack an overnight bag?” Mina’s voice cut across Ochako’s. “Yeah, can’t hurt!” Ochako was back. “I’ll text you the address for Mina-chan’s place. See you in a bit.” The call ended as strangely as it had begun, and Izuku was shaking a little from excitement. He took a deep breath. Was he really going to get to hang out with Ochako? He interrogated himself, and the situation at hand wildly in his head as he packed a bag. In comic books, there was always, inevitably, an arc that involved leading a male hero into some kind of trap by feminine wiles, and Izuku thought to himself about the possibility of an ambush, but then dismissed that possibility as both puerile and conspiratorial, given that there was no reason that Ochako would end up being bait for him. He gave himself a smack with both hands on his face as a simplistic preparatory measure, dismissing any of his fanciful paranoia, and headed for the door. “Bye, Mom.” “Where are you going?” “To hang out with a bunch of girls from school.” “Oh! Of course you are, honey. Text me if you’re staying the night.” ***** Harpy Claws, Broker's Fees, and Staring Down the Barrel of a Fully Loaded Mina ***** When Izuku arrived at Mina’s apartment, twenty or so minutes past, he found the whole cadre of girls waiting for him outside. “Hey, Midoriya-kun!” Mina greeted shrilly before he even got to the stairs. “Hey,” he managed. “There’s something we need to, uhh…” Momo looked around hesitantly. “…brief you on, before you come inside.” “Only if you feel up to it.” “And if you wanna,” appended Ochako. When they were finished explaining the situation, which, in even its shocking brevity, took many little conversational twists and turns by its multiple narrators, Izuku stood in brief, shocked repose. “Okay, so l-lemme get this straight,” he said, immediately flustered. “So Hagakure-san hasn’t k-kissed anybody before—” “Never kissed a boy before,” corrected Kyouka. “And you called me over here to f-fix that.” “Only if you feel up to it,” said Mina, sweetly. “And if you wanna,” appended Ochako. Izuku looked around, spying no floating garments to indicate Tooru’s presence. “Um, where is Hagakure-san, actually?” “She’s waiting in Mina’s bedroom,” Tsuyu snorted. “So, is this like a b-bet, or something?” A chorus of “no”s came from the semicircle of Izuku’s classmates, with the exception of a resounding “yes” from Kyouka. Mina eyed her dangerously. Stepping out of the cadre of girls, Mina closed distance with Izuku surprisingly fast and peered directly at him with her black-and-yellow eyes, with the softest expression she could muster. “Look, we just wanted to make sure that Tooru-chan had the best slumber party experience she could hope for,” Mina said, her tone soft, smoothing the creases on the sleeves of his shirt with her strangely dainty fingers, a gesture wholly set apart from Izuku’s previous recollections of Mina’s fingers, which mostly focused how fast she could melt through steel and concrete. “We’re not doing this to embarrass her, or prank her, or anything gross like that. We just want her to have a fun, nice experience. And what better way with a nice, cute boy?” Izuku felt his face grow hot. Mina was close enough that her breasts were pressing into his arm, and given that she was taller than him, her face, as soft and cute as she was, gave off the quality of something vulturelike as she looked at him. “Also, we want Tooru to feel cute, and, yanno, liked. I mean, you like her, right?” “Oh. Okay, I understand,” said Izuku, who definitely didn’t understand. “Um, but if she hasn’t kissed anybody before—” “A boy,” Kyouka corrected, again. “—does it really make sense to, like, p-push her into this decision?” “She suggested it,” Kyouka snorted. “She thinks you’re really cute. And you’re definitely the best choice out of all the boys in the class,” said Tsuyu. “We checked and took a list, kyu~.” “It’s just one kiss. You don’t have to do anything more than that.” Mina squeezed his arm a little tighter, and her chest was peeking a little out of her top. There was a moment of extremely bizarre, liminal quiet as they all stared at him. The sounds of dogs barking and chirping cicadas spread softly around the surrounding roads, under the hum of fluorescent streetlamps. It was a highschool summer, a lazy, balmy night that echoed back to every sweat-stained evening that Izuku had spent alone before U.A., before All Might and One For All. Finally, though, Izuku’s eyes fell on Ochako, who gave him a determined, excited smile, which prompted another wave of blood to flow to his face. “Um, uh, j-just like let me think about it for five minutes.” Izuku was inside within three, almost before he knew it, being dragged along in by both arms in a vicegrip from a giggling Mina and Tsuyu both. “If you need anything, just call! We’ll be in the other room,” Mina said brightly, immensely pleased with her own handiwork. “Pay attention to her and don’t do anything she doesn’t want you to do,” said Tsuyu, her voice husky with her own vicarious excitement. “And above else, have fun!” said Mina, as she and Tsuyu parked him in front of the doorway to her bedroom. “Deku-kun,” asked Ochako from behind him, and he paused to look over his shoulder. “Please be gentle with Tooru-chan.” Izuku gave a small smile, the first since he’d gotten here. “I promise.” Ochako smiled back, her expression soft. Izuku took two or three deep breaths, and with one outstretched, shaking hand, he opened the door to the bedroom and went inside, closing it behind him. The whole common room sighed a collective sigh of accomplishment. “That was really impressive, Mina-chan,” said Momo. “Right? I didn’t think I had it in me,” Mina said, exasperatedly, as she slumped on the sofa. “Jeez, Mina-chan,” Kyouka said. “Alright, well, I can’t doubt you ever again.” “I hope they both have fun,” said Ochako, her voice a little weary. “It seemed like we really forced him into it.” “So what now?” asked Tsuyu. “Hm. I hadn’t really thought that far in advance,” Mina said, through a wave of giggling. “No, seriously,” said Kyouka. “What happens after he comes out?” “He’s welcome to stay and hang out,” said Mina. Her attention was elsewhere as she lay back on the sofa. “I dunno. We probably shouldn’t just kick him outta here, that seems shitty.” “Yeah, but do you really think he’ll want to stay and hang around with six girls at a slumber party? He looks embarrassed enough for the relatively simple task we put him up to doing.” “If he’s not going, and he’s not staying, do you all have any ideas for what you think we should do?” Momo, who had just been calm before, suddenly looked stressed again. Everyone looked at Mina, who was splayed across the sofa, texting idly on her phone. “Well,” she began, “Tooru’s not the only one who could have a slumber party to remember.” “…you CANNOT be fucking serious, Mina,” Kyouka said, her voice incredulous. “Wait, what? What’s she saying?” asked Ochako. “She’s suggesting that, as long as Izuku-chan’s here, we all should try to have some fun with him,” said Tsuyu, through a wide smile. Ochako was absolutely speechless. “You did NOT implicitly sign us up for… a fucking seven-person makeout party without our consent, Mina,” snarled Kyouka. She stood, her shoulders squared and arms crossed as she bore down over Mina. “Look, we don’t all have to go at once,” Mina retorted. “But hey, I’m sold! I think Midoriya’s cute also, and before he ends up leaving, whenever that is, I want to at least get in, yanno, like, a kiss! Probably nothing more! He looks too nervous to go any further. Call it a broker’s fee,” she said, beaming over the lip of her phone. Momo was hiding behind the pink stuffed bear again, her arms wrapped around its neck and her black bird-of-paradise hair wobbling overhead, giving the impression of a large mohawk. “M-maybe it could be worth our time,” she mumbled into the bear. “God, you’re gonna give Momo-chan a fucking nosebleed,” Kyouka spat. “How could you be so careless?” “Maybe my problem wasn’t that I was careless,” said Mina, as she rolled around to sit upright, then rose to her feet with uncanny quickness to come face-to- face with Kyouka. “Maybe my problem is more that I’m opportunistic and somehow I’ve been going along with the current ever since I got ahold of Occhan’s phone. Seriously, Kyouka, when’s the last time you kissed somebody?” Kyouka puffed her cheeks a little, and looked away. “I seriously don’t think that’s at all relevant.” “I just… I really hope that Deku-kun’s being gentle,” said Ochako. “I don’t doubt that he is, Occhan. He seems like a considerate person,” said Mina with immediate softness, without taking her eyes off of Kyouka. “Mina, I just wanna say, from one girl to another, that you are a fucking harpy.” “Oh, thank you, sweetie.” “God, I wanna punch you in the face.” “What? Kyouka-chan, do you want to fight me over this? Like that’ll be any more productive??” “Hey,” said Tsuyu. Mina’s lips were curling into a pugnacious smile. “Because, you know, if we fought, I would absolutely win.” “Heyyyyy,” said Tsuyu, more loudly. “No, I just think that—” “Hey!” Tsuyu interrupted. “What, Tsu-chan?! What?!” snapped Mina. Tsuyu looked extremely pleased. She was smiling widely again, with one finger oriented lazily toward the wall, on which the other side lay Mina’s bedroom. “Listen.” Kyouka and Mina’s argument was cut short as a loud moan sliced through the air. “Given that I think those two have already gotten started,” said Tsuyu, “we should either listen in or put our efforts into figuring what to do, yeah?” ***** Spun-Sugar Air ***** When Izuku had stepped through the doorway, he was startled to see Tooru, waiting in a thin robe, with its folds seemingly draped into thin air. “H-hey, Hagakure-san.” “Hey, Midoriya-kun.” Izuku crossed to the bed clumsily and sat down next to Tooru’s figure. The light coming in through the open windows flowed with a deep velvety-blue sheen that permeated the dense blackness of the bedroom. Tooru’s robe shimmered in the light as she sat up. “So, I guess Mina-chan told you the score, right?” “Yeah,” Izuku said. A bead of sweat rolled down his temple. “One kiss?” “Mm-hm!” Tooru tried to keep her tone down from nervous excitability towards more of a demure-maiden type of vibe, but it was difficult. She wondered, momentarily, how Mina-chan managed to do it, appearing so interchangeably reckless or shy at consecutive moments. “She’s persuasive, isn’t she?” “Yeah, jeez. I thought I was just going to come over and hang out with Uraraka and you guys, and then… this got sprung on me.” Tooru’s heart sank. “You don’t have to kiss me if you don’t want to. I understand.” “Oh no! I—I mean, I didn’t mean it that way. I think you’re cool, Hagakure- san.” “Thanks. I think you’re cool too, Midoriya-kun.” “T-that robe looks good on you,” Izuku said. He meant it, too. Being in such close quarters with Tooru, Izuku saw that she was extremely slender, with a very thin waist, and relatively shorter than the other girls. She had a surprisingly big chest, and it felt stranger to be seeing it in this context, where the shape of her breasts were defined now, than in practical exercises at school, when she was normally naked, just a pair of gloves and boots in mid- air. “I’m sorry I’m so awkward,” he apologized. “It’s totally cool! You can’t see how much I’m blushing right now.” Izuku took another deep breath. “Is this your first time kissing somebody?” asked Tooru. Izuku nodded shakily. One of Tooru’s sleeves lifted, and he was startled at the sudden touch on his lips by her invisible finger. Tooru felt an immense wave of relief, as well as some arcane satisfaction knowing, in some sense, at what kind of role she was playing at the moment. “It’s my first time too. Your lips are really soft,” Tooru said, marveling. “Do you wanna feel mine?” “Yeah,” Izuku said. His heart was racing in his ears. Tooru took his hand, gingerly, and ran the tip of his index finger over her lips. “Yours are really soft too.” As she leaned forward, one edge of the robe’s inner collar fell, presumably over her shoulder, and Izuku could envision the outline and curves of her body in the soft twilight. She would look at home on the cover of a gravure magazine as an idol of some kind. “Hagakure-san, you’re… you’re really cute.” “Really?” Tooru slid a little closer to Izuku. She was so happy, she felt like her chest would burst, her heart thrumming like an engine. “That’s the first time a guy has said I was cute.” Izuku felt her hands on his shoulders, and he could feel the heat of her breath as she moved dangerously close to him. “Ready?” “Hagakure-san…” “You can call me Tooru,” she said, as she pressed her lips to his. Electric was the only word to describe it, like energy was coursing through Izuku’s brain, the rampant physicality of her body, which she had always thought invisible, forgettable, pressed against his. As she moved her lips, delicately at first, he moved his; as she used her tongue, he used his. The smell of cocoa and marshmallows from her breath flooded his nostrils and mouth, and she tasted like spun-sugar air, her body feeling unimaginably light against his chest. Both of them were clumsy, fumbling this way and that, but they made good dance partners. When her lips left his, Izuku was left in a spinning daze, and it was certain to him that they were floating in space, like nothing existed outside of Mina’s candy-colored bedroom. “That was… one kiss?” "Yeah,” Tooru breathed, close to his face still. She was slumped against his chest, looking upwards into his eyes, and he matched her gaze, unsteadily. “Could we do it again?” When they kissed again, both of them went into their exchange with renewed vigor, their awkwardness and youth cracking away like a shell as they felt one another. This time, they kissed with their whole bodies, Tooru almost in Izuku’s lap, the two of them swaying back and forth in desperate experimentation. Their fervor trailed out on their lips and necks, as Izuku gently steadied one side of her head with one hand and kissed her neck, feeling the short brush of unseen hair atop her frame, and tracing around the topography of her body with his lips, trying his hardest not to bump into her. Reflexively, a loud moan escaped Tooru’s lips as she, likewise, ran her fingers through his coarse hair, the vibrations of which ran through her neck, thrumming under his mouth. Impulsively, Tooru took the back of Izuku’s hand and guided it up to her chest over her heart, letting him caress her through the thin robe. They continued to kiss, her moans stifled and piteous as they echoed around in his mouth and down his throat. She ran one hand down his T-shirt and felt the jutting bulge through the rough material of his shorts, and was immediately taken aback by its hardness in her cupped palm. Tooru giggled a little. “Wow. You’re, uhh, you’re really hard.” “Yeah,” Izuku admitted, somewhat sheepishly, and he couldn’t help but laugh a little also. Though she was nervous and unsteady, she felt courage in the unblinking forwardness that she always showed in her progress towards becoming a hero, like it was nothing more than conquering a self-imposed impediment. She was here, now, with a boy who found her cute. Tooru needed not to interrogate herself further to figure out what she truly wanted, the biggest takeaway from her first sleepover. “Do you—do you wanna have sex?” “Um… here?” “Well, yeah.” “In Ashido-san’s room?” “I think Mina-chan’ll be okay with it.” “Okay.” Izuku nodded, his freshman unsteadiness returning in waves, his heart resuming its heavy and slow tatoo through inside of his ribs. “Here.” Tooru laid on her back on the bed. Izuku awkwardly disrobed for a bit, stripping off his shorts and socks, and Tooru took sight of his tool, dangling under a little shock of dark hair. Even from far off, it looked a little imposing. “Aw, c’mon, take off your shirt too,” Tooru teased. As Izuku did so, he noticed one of Tooru’s sleeves migrating down toward her thighs, and realized that she had one hand between her legs. “I’ll lead you. Just, um… go slow, okay?” Tooru’s voice was shaky, a loose mix of embarrassment and feverish anticipation. She reached out and put her hand on his dick, attempting to assuage her own nervousness for a brief moment before they started. Her grip was a little too fierce on Izuku to begin with, and he winced, recoiling a bit. "Sorry! Sorry.” She replaced her hand and felt him, keeping up a slow pumping motion with her wrist. “I’m sorry! Does that feel okay?” She felt his original, almost painful hardness return as she kept up a steady upkeep of strokes, moving the head between her thighs. “Here. Can you move a little closer to me?” “Is h-here good?” “Put your hands on my thighs.” “Like this?” “Yeah. Right there.” Tooru moved him around with her wayward hand, making the head of his dick kiss her entrance, ever so slightly pushing her folds apart. She wriggled a little, the motion tickling her, and she took a deep breath and stared right into the eyes of the freckle-faced boy whom she’d chosen—no, summoned—as her first. “Okay, go ahead and push it in. B-be gentle.” Her silhouette, a shapely divot on the covers of Mina’s bed, seemed to almost contort, little areas of pressure releasing and shifting as her back arched. She let out a loud whimper, and Izuku stopped suddenly, halfway inside. "Are you okay?” “Yeah… go a little slower…” Tooru’s insides were tight, an invisible gauntlet locked around Izuku, and with every successive thrust, her tightness subsumed into the background of gyrating stimuli; warm, slick, a thin layer of sweat forming where Izuku’s hands were grasping her thighs. With every thrust, Izuku’s dick disappeared from view inside invisible nothingness, their intercourse aetheric. Tooru laid her head back, her eyes closed, letting herself be awash in the simplicity of the moment and its constituent strata, the minutiae of every action that led her to this point. She exhaled. “Should, um, I should go faster now?” “Yeah…” Her replies grew more breathy and soft-edged, more dynamically rising and falling into moans and uncontrollable bursts of pleasure-veined squeaks. When Izuku went faster, using all the muscles just in his hips, he saw little balled mushrooms of bedcovers where Tooru’s fingers grasped into fists. “Oh, Izuku…” ***** Small Blind ***** Outside of Mina’s bedroom, and concurrent with the events therein, the five remaining girls of 1-A were posted outside of the wall, listening in on the tryst between their friends. “That, uhh… that absolutely sounds like sex,” said Kyouka. “No way,” said Mina. “They could still just be, like, heavy petting or something.” “Wanna bet on that?” asked Kyouka, silkily. One of her earjacks extended and wiggled in front of Mina’s face. “You’re on.” “You’re gonna loooooose,” said Tsuyu, her tone low and mocking, with one ear clasped to the wall. “Shut up. Loser runs down to the convenience store and grabs a bunch of snacks for everybody,” Mina countered. “Now plug that shit in, and let’s find out.” Kyouka felt the wall’s variable thickness in places, scanning with the edge of the jack, finally finding a suitable spot and jamming into the drywall, cracking it. “You gonna fix that after you’re done walking to the store?” Mina sneered. “I’ll get Momo-chan to spackle it. Now shush.” All five of them were deathly quiet. Another muffled squeal from Tooru pierced the calm air. Kyouka made a series of expressions with her face that could only be indicative of deep and consternative thought. “Hmmmm. Hmmmmmm. No, they’re having sex.” “What? You’ve gotta be kidding me. Here, gimme your other jack to listen with.” When Mina tuned in, holding the tip of Kyouka’s jack almost against her eardrum, she could hear the inner workings of the bedroom with uncanny clarity; from the shifting weight on the bedframe to the slow collision of bodies and finally to the intermingled breathing of Izuku and Tooru’s moaning, it felt almost as if she were inside the bedroom with the two of them, and her mouth fell slowly agape into reticent offense. She handed Kyouka’s jack back to her, and one by one, each of the rest of the girls listened in briefly. “Um… Mina-chan? Are you okay?” Momo asked her, tiptoeing over each word. “I mean, I think I got into this because of how… I don’t know, rebellious and indecent it’s seemed, but you seem really upset.” “She’s fine. She’s a little pissed because she had this scheme to bring Tooru- chan up to speed with the rest of us, and now Tooru-chan’s officially gotten farther than her with a guy,” asseverated Tsuyu, who was enjoying fanning the flames a little too much. “Hey, Mina-chan, how’s it feel to have the student become the master?” Ochako was blushing furiously. “Guys, why are you fighting?” Mina turned to fix her caustic gaze on Ochako. “No, seriously, I mean… why are you all making each other so angry? I mean… well, I kinda didn’t think that Deku-kun had it in him, but shouldn’t we just be happy for Tooru-chan? It—it sounds like she got to spend a really fun moment with him, so…” Mina nodded, then stood up, her expression softening a little. “You know what? That’s a really good point, Occhan. I didn’t really think of it that way.” “Good. I’m glad—” Ochako sighed wearily, before Mina brazenly interrupted her, mid-sentence. “I also didn’t think that Midoriya had it in him. And I don’t even mind that I lost, because I’m going to go down to the store for a second and clear my head.” “You sure?” asked Kyouka. “You don’t have to—” “It’s literally a five minute walk from here. I’ll be back before they finish, probably. Maybe I’ll bring something back that’ll up the stakes a little, Kyouka-chan.” And with that Parthian shot, Mina had her shoes and a sweater on, and was out the door in a flash. ***** Way to Stick the Landing, Kid ***** “Tooru… I’m gonna…” “What…?” “I’m gonna come soon, d-do you want me to pull out?” “Um, yeah, lemme just…” Izuku extricated himself from Tooru’s insides as fast as he could, his dick pulsating slightly, giving off the same feeling as a live grenade attached to his hips. “Where you do you wanna fin—” As Tooru curled one hand around Izuku, he shuddered and came, laying two or three contractions’ worth of cum across Tooru’s stomach in a staggering line, a stippled spatter reaching nearly to her breasts, suspended and gleaming on her invisible skin. It surprised Tooru enough to make her gasp. It was almost spectacular. Tooru gave a long exhale. “Wow.” She gathered up a fat, pearly droplet between finger and thumb and brought it to her mouth. It tasted, much to her chagrin, like pretty much nothing at all, more a globule of warmth with the bouquet of thigh sweat and the texture of runny mucus. “Yeah, jeez,” said Izuku, slumping, hanging his head as he lapsed unceremoniously into refraction. “Gosh, Izuku,” Tooru teased. “You had me going, and then you went and finished before me, and I didn’t get to come.” Izuku looked immediately apologetic. “Do you wanna keep going?” “No, um… I think I actually might be too tender, right now.” “Um, do you want me to go down on you?” She took another deep breath. “No, just let me chill out… for a second, I’ll finish myself off.” “Are you sure?” “It’ll just be easier if I do it by myself.” “Um… okay.” Tooru could see that Izuku looked like he’d wronged her in some way. “I—I mean, it’s really hot how you like, painted me. That made for a memorable first time.” “Yeah. Um, I’m sorry if—” “Izuku, it’s okay. I had fun. I’m… I’m glad you were the first person I got to have sex with,” Tooru said, as meaningfully as she could. She meant every word, speaking from the slow, smoldering center of happiness that she felt deep in her chest. He couldn’t see the smile on her face, or the rudiments of little tears forming in her eyes. Izuku felt the palm of her hand touch one side of his face, and he put his hand over hers, finding her fingers and entwining them with his. “I’m glad too. I mean, it was my first time too.” He fumbled a little, but kissed her hand lightly, and she giggled. They sat in the stillness of Mina’s bedroom, now wreathed in nighttime. They sat in their moonlit repose, again, transformed in the wake of their delicate waltz. Eventually, it was Tooru who broke the silence again. “Would you mind going and getting a towel, or something? I’m still… all messy.” ***** Six Demon Bag ***** When Izuku opened the door to the bedroom, he met face-to-face with Mina and the others, beaming broadly, which making him flinch. “So? How was it?” “You guys sure sounded lively.” “Tell us all the details, kyu~.” “Was it romantic??” “You were gentle, right, Deku-kun?” “It was, uhh, it was r-really fun,” Izuku stammered through a wide, genuine smile at the cavalcade of inquisitive faces blocking the doorway. “How about you, Tooru-chan? Was it funnnn?” Mina asked, wearing an immensely satisfied expression on her face. Tooru hid her face in the sleeve of her robe, giggling softly. “It was so much fun,” Tooru said happily. Izuku accidentally made eye contact with Ochako, and blushed when she gave him a smile. It was amazing, he thought to himself, that he could’ve forgotten that Ochako had been outside the entire time, maybe even listening in. The whole nature of his encounter with Tooru felt so constructed and alien, the fact that he had managed to lose himself in the act and actually have a fun memorable time seemed, in a sense, miraculous. “Could I, um, could I get by? I need like, a towel or something for Ha— for Tooru.” “By all means,” Mina replied, allowing him passage through. She turned back to Tooru. “Do you need anything, Tooru-chan?” “I’m good, I think.” Returning with a washcloth, Izuku gave it to Tooru, who mopped her stomach up. “Thanks, Izuku.” “You guys should come out and be in the common room for a bit. It’s cooler than the bedroom. You want a glass of water?” Not even one hundred and twenty seconds later were Izuku and Tooru clothed and sitting awkwardly out in the common room, drinking ice water. Izuku had joined the circle to make seven all sitting around the common table, flanked by Mina and Tooru on either side. Mina smiled right into his gaze, her black and yellow eyes drilling into him. She began, immediately in gear. “So. Here’s the—admittedly tentative—battle plan for the time being, we’re thinking. You,” Mina stated imperiously to Izuku, “go five more rounds, twenty minutes apiece, with the rest of us.” Izuku’s shock was more than immediate. The blush colored his face cataclysmically fast, giving him time for only one real garbled interjection, which didn’t serve to slow Mina down. “Five…?!” “More rounds. Yes. Five more rounds. Like, one for each of us?” “Uhhh… this… Ashido-san—” “You can just call me by my first name. In fact, just use everybody’s first name if we’re gonna… yanno…” Mina motioned, mentally grasping for a suitable term. “Gosh, there’s like, an English expression for this kind of situation, right?” “What, like ‘running a train?’” snorted Kyouka. Mina wrinkled her nose. “Really?? Ugh. Nevermind, I hate how that sounds. Anyways, I think we can stand to be a little more familiar.” “M-Mina-ch-chan, this seems kinda exhausting.” “It really does, if you phrase it how Mina-chan does,” said Momo. “Just think of it as, like, a workout. We’re here to share you, if you’re so willing.” “This doesn’t feel real, to be honest.” Mina moved closer to Izuku, which was clearly shown to be a favored tactics of getting boys to agree with her. “It’s small fry compared to the boy who single- handedly downed an Obstacle-Class training mech on the day of the entrance exam, with just. One. Punch.” Her three latter words were accompanied by one hand trailing up Izuku’s leg. “Uh—” “Because all of us have seen you in training and we all know what you’re capable of.” Izuku gulped. “And Tooru-chan had so much fun with you… so I’m curious how much fun you’ll be.” Mina was so close, she was basically whispering in his ear. Izuku could feel the soft susurrus of breath across his upper cheek. “Occhan’s always telling us how cool you are, Midoriya-kun. How about you stay the night and play with us for a while? You already brought over a bag, even though Tsu-chan was messing with you. It’ll be funnnnn,” teased Mina, her expression rapacious. She toyed with the shopping bag on the end of two fingers, which she waggled playfully. “I even went out and got us some… provisions.” With Mina encroaching on his arm and so close to his person, Izuku eyed the bag with intense wariness. “Is everybody really in on this?” There was a brief lull in the air of the common room, and, everyone nodded, like a slow wave rolling through the group. Then, Ochako burst into a fit of giggles, and then Momo, and then Tsuyu, Kyouka, and finishing with Mina’s measured snicker. “Oh gosh, I was gonna faint waiting for everybody else to nod,” Ochako quavered. She took a self-congratulatory gulp of hot cocoa. Kyouka fought back a chortle. “I mean, I think… okay, for me, it was the sound of you and Tooru hooking up next door. I’ll admit, I’m curious.” Tooru was blushing again, but she gave a little unseen smile toward Izuku, a motion that went criminally underrepresented by her corporal persona. He scanned the room nervously, for what seemed like the thousandth time. “If we were g-gonna go through with this… what exactly does everybody w-want?” Mina tittered, squeezing his arm capriciously, moving it to rest in her cleavage. “Sex, obviously.” “Sex.” Tsuyu had been quiet throughout Mina’s lengthy diatribe, but when the esurient, somewhat mischievous word escaped her lips she sounded as tumultuous and turned on as Mina. Kyouka was engrossed in something on her phone. “Sex, mostly.” Momo’s voice was soft, but she sounded set, pulled into the surreal fervor that encapsulated the slumber party. “Um… sex-related things.” Ochako was blushing, again, but she managed a shy look towards Izuku. “I haven’t really made up my mind yet, so I’ll just go last.” “Well, if it’s everybody else also, how come Mina-chan’s the only one trying to convince me?” “Probably because she managed to convince you to come here and fuck Tooru. She’s the most persuasive one,” Kyouka said, her tone sagely. “Wait,” said Tooru, “you wanted us to hook up the whole time?” “Well, not like… whatever. It doesn’t matter,” Mina replied. “What matters is you’re here now, Izuku-kun.” “Jeez, this is really weird.” “I think it feels a little weird for us too,” Momo pointed out. “Well, I mean… um… a-as long as we’re all on the same page…” Izuku looked around at all of them, all beaming onwards, fixated at him with intractable attention, his mind churning out image after image of girls from his class locked into poses both indecent and coy, and his teen brain struggling to make sense of the situation before catastrophic meltdown. Eventually, he made an executive, albeit spur-of-the-moment decision. ***** Standard Operating Procedure ***** A wave of exhales went through the group, and then a slow roll of affirmative giggling surfaced briefly, before quieting back down. After that, Mina brought her hands together for a short, sharp, self-congratulatory clap. “Well, now that that’s all settled, why don’t we move on to logistics?” Ochako looked bemused. “Um, what?” “Yeah, logistics. Like, we don’t even really need the bedroom, do we? Why don’t we have our fun out here?” Kyouka rolled her eyes. “I think if we’re going in a discrete order by partner, it makes more sense to separate the bedroom and common room,” Momo said, an oddly operational facet showing through her voice. “That way, people can use the common room to sleep and do other, non-sex activities. Also, um, cleanup will be easier.” “Totally!” Mina agreed. “That makes sense. Should we let other people listen in on the people hooking up?” “Um, well, I think Kyouka-chan has the most potential for um… intrusive surveillance on the people in the bedroom, and there’s not a straightforward way for the bedroom pair to enforce the people outside from listening, so I would say that it should come down to the preference of the bedroom pair whether or not they’re okay with… um… voyeurs,” Momo stammered, averting her eyes to the ceiling. “A-as unreliable as it has p-proven in the past with other exercises, I still advise we use, um, an honor system. We should be able to rely on each other’s trust as classmates, I think.” Mina was bubbly with excitement, fidgeting lightly and still glued to Izuku’s arm. “Now that I like, really think about it, this whole thing feels kinda like an exercise, yanno? We oughta treat it a little more like one if we wanna plan it out.” “Mina-chan, this whole thing has been unplanned from the start. Why don’t you just charge in this and start this off already?” Tsuyu asked, in an oddly curt fashion. “Well, we’ve at least decided that there’s going to be, like, an order, right? If this is like, a training exercise to bring us all up to speed, do we wanna lay any ground rules? Any boundaries for the whole group not to cross?” “Technically, that’s not logistics, Mina-chan. That’s protocol,” Momo corrected. “Whatever. Anybody?” “Listen to Izuku-kun, don’t do anything that would make him uncomfortable, first and foremost. Don’t listen in if people don’t want you to. Abide by your time limit? Oh! Use condoms, how could I forget that,” stipulated Kyouka, as she crossed to the kitchen. “Is anybody else, just like, fucking starving? I think I might make some food.” “Yeah, I’m hungry also,” Ochako chimed in. “You want help, Kyouka-chan?” Izuku genuinely felt like he was losing his mind. He piped up for what felt like the first time in forever. “Um, who’s going f-first?” “Hm?” Kyouka turned back to him. “Well if I’m gonna get food started, I don’t mind going last, or second-to-last. Momo-chan, you got a preference?” “I also don’t mind going second-to-last. I think Ochako-chan wanted to be last, though.” “Hm. Okay. Conservative estimate says that I’ll want at least to have SOME food done before going, so for now, I’ll plan on going third? Then Momo-chan, then Occhan.” “Mm-hm! That sounds reasonable,” Momo acceded happily. Ochako nodded, excited to have lots of tasks to accomplish. Kyouka smiled broadly. “Okay! Then that just leaves Mina-chan and Tsu-chan. You guys duke it out over who gets Izuku-kun first. Oh, and Tooru! Did you want another round?” Tooru hopped to her feet. “I think I’ll be ok for the night! Maybe I’ll sleep next to Izuku later, if he’s ok with it. Do you guys need me to run out and grab groceries?” “I’ll get started on a list. Let’s figure out what we wanna eat first. Occhan, could you prep a full pot of rice? I think we’ll make more if we need it. Mina- chan, where’s your apron?” Mina pointed towards the balcony door. “The main one I use is the green one on the clothesline! There’s a spare folded up in the drawer with the like, hot pads and potholders.” “Um, everybody?” It was Ochako who was speaking now. She looked at the floor, and in her hands, she was worrying the frayed edge of Mina’s spare apron, pleasant and beige-colored, grown reliably worn with years of use. The room was struck dumb in a strange reverie that reflected the oddity of their companionship. “Can I suggest two more… um, ground rules?” “Go for it,” said Tsuyu, at once without a smirk on her face. “Um… I know this sounds kinda lame, but… could we not treat this like a competition?” She wiped her eyes with the corner of the apron, and Izuku saw she was tearing up. “I know you guys have seen me get really fired up for stuff in the past, and I love competing, but it’s kinda hard to watch when it’s my friends tearing each other apart over things we shouldn’t fight about. I really hate seeing you guys fight each other over really dumb stuff. Let’s just have fun and like, learn a little about ourselves, okay?” Mina’s odd exterior, her devilish coquettishness, appeared more human and vulnerable when her expression softened. She smiled, a toothy, bare, heartwarming smile. “Yeah, of course, Occhan.” “And the other one is… I love you guys a lot, and I love being friends with you, so whatever happens, let’s still be friends, okay?” Ochako smiled at Izuku, her eyes pink. Tooru bounded over and hugged her. Kyouka hugged her too, the three of them cradling their heads together. There was another brief moment, a repose of feminine solidarity in myriadous form, a chorus of “aw”s and “I love you too”s and good will between friends, teammates, eventual comrades. The six of them spun a diamondlike armistice and agreed that if anything should cause them internecine strife, they would think back on the night they all promised each other to be friends. Midoriya Izuku felt a little disconnected from this show of good faith. Yet, right as he smiled and consigned himself to being just a tool for interpersonal growth, he was blindsided by a hug by Ochako, and then the rest of them, all six girls of 1-A, together. They sat for a little while like that, nobody moving, just a slow, rollicking breath moving through them seven, and the smells of sweat and hair. “We didn’t forget about you, Izuku-chan. You’re one of the girls now, officially,” said Kyouka. In a sense, it was the strangest development that he felt like he was party to. He felt metamorphosed by the moment he had shared with Tooru, bore down on by Mina and challenged, but in a night crystallized by tumult, this narcotic slowness was the precursor to something stronger, and larger. They broke apart after their productive respite. “What were you gonna make, kyu~?” “Probably some onigiri to start. You got a preference for fillings? I was gonna do kombu, maybe kimchi? I like hamburger in mine, so I’ll do one or two of those.” “Hamburger? Really?” “Yeah, the trick is to mix it with something spicy, and not overcook it.” ***** Freckle-Faced Boys' Parts ***** Tsuyu abdicated her spot to Mina, letting her go first; it was a straightforward delegation, given that the whole thing had, in a sense, been due to her machinations, and given that she was already four-fifths of the way into having sex with Izuku in the common room, it was a neat choice. Kyouka watched the pair of them disappearing, Izuku nearly being dragged by one arm, into the bedroom, as the door closed with a resounding click. “I think we’ve upgraded from a low-budget sleepover movie to a low-budget American porno,” she commented to Ochako, whose thoughts were elsewhere on softening potatoes and soybean paste and freckle-faced boys’ parts. Tooru was all ebullient and mesmerizingly happy to have something to do, and after peeling off her robe and putting on a random skirt and top she’d borrowed from Mina’s dirty laundry, she was set on retrieving groceries for the grand dinner Kyouka had wanted to make. Mina’s pantry was full of vegetables, and she had tofu and most of a bag of rice left, but Kyouka and Ochako judged that they needed far more supplies. Kyouka handed her the list she had formulated with Ochako. “I can’t ever remember what’s in season for summer, it’s like mackerel or seabass? Get whatever’s cheaper in the frozen section and we’ll defrost it for cheap sushi. Oh, prawns, too. They’re on there. Here’s all the cash we pooled for dinner.” Kyouka tossed her the roll of sandy-colored notes. “My bike’s out front! The basket’s pretty big and I do shopping in it sometimes, so you shouldn’t have any troubles getting stuff back. Oh, and be careful! Watch out for cars.” Ochako gave her a big smile, and handed her the key to her bike lock. Ochako and Kyouka stood, shoulder to shoulder in aproned regalia, looking forcibly domestic against the backdrop of Mina’s apartment, which over the course of the last hour had changed from just a domicile to some kind of transformative sin den. As Tooru crossed to the door, putting on her shoes, a canvas bag swinging haphazardly from her unseen shoulder, there was a beautiful, simple caprice in how she carried herself. Kyouka smiled. “Hey, Tooru-chan!” Tooru turned back to face her. “What’s up?” “You’re glowing.” Ochako laughed warmly as Tooru, abashed but aflutter, hurried out the door. Momo was reading, running a brush through her long black hair while Tsuyu was parked by the listening wall, squatted down, her ear cleaved, her face screwed up in concentration. Ochako stirred the pot full of root vegetables, checking their consistency, while Kyouka leaned against the countertop, bored by the slowness of the rice cooker. She looked over at Tsuyu. “How’s it going?” “Hmph! She’s so quiet!” Kyouka inattentively ate a spoonful of chili paste, chewing on the seeds. “Maybe she’s embarrassed that we’re listening in and doesn’t want to spoil the mood?” “Maybe. She said it was okay for us to listen in, but maybe she’s rethinking it and doesn’t wanna lose her façade. Maybe she’s using, what, eighty, ninety percent of her willpower to not give Izuku-chan dick blisters.” Her eyes widening, Kyouka was suddenly way more interested. “Aw, right! I’d momentarily forgotten about that. Wanna take a bet on whether or not she melts his dick?” A grin cracked Tsuyu’s face. “You’re on, kyu~. What’s at stake?” “Hmmmm. Loser has to act really overly slutty during their turn, loud enough for the other to hear.” “What does ‘overly slutty’ entail?” “Yeah, that’s kinda vague… you have to at least act sluttier than Mina does during HER turn.” Tsuyu let out a husky rasp of a laugh, clearly tickled. “Deal. I vote she gets it under control.” “Well, if Mina-chan loses control and um, b-burns Deku-kun, won’t we end up taking him to the hospital?” asked Ochako, suddenly looking dire. Kyouka smacked her forehead. “Fuck, I’m dumb. Which means she’s definitely been like, thinking about that all evening, like, either to avoid it or work through it.” “I don’t think she’ll get that far, kyu~. She definitely doesn’t want a repeat of the last time a guy fucked her.” “Well, yeah. She told me that she had a plan, although Mina-chan’s plans have been less successful in the past,” Kyouka said. “Nah, it’ll probably be okay in the long run. Maybe Mina won’t even go for it and will just stick to doing stuff that doesn’t involve Izuku-chan’s dick. I had originally suggested to Mina-chan that we do different days of the week for each girl rather than one night, so she could get a little more time to prep, but she was pretty set on this,” said Tsuyu. “We could set up a contingency in case of injury,” said Momo. “That way your bet can keep the same stakes.” “Yeah, and then if she ever finds out that we bet on whether or not she was gonna maim Izuku-kun, she will be seriously PISSED.” Tsuyu cocked her head a little. “It’s also just, um, not nice for Izuku-chan. He’s our friend.” Momo thought for a second, looking up from her book and running the brush through her hair with a placid expression. “A possible solution? You both could bet on whether or not Izuku-kun and Mina-chan even try, um, penetrative sex, or simply stay with something different.” Both parties considered this with furrowed brows for a bit. Eventually, Kyouka nodded. “That’s totally a reasonable read, Momo-chan. So what’s your call, Tsu-chan?” “She’s gonna play it safe. She has enough sense to know when to exercise caution, it’s one of her strengths in class.” “Totally. But, she has the tendency to like, totally try to tackle things head on, because she knows she has the strength to do it. By that logic, whatever plan she has, she’ll probably use.” “This’ll be an interesting bet, hm?” “Die’s cast, Tsu-chan!” Her words were punctuated by the sound of Ochako using all of her arm strength to hack her way through an especially woody parsnip, and shoveling its ragged remains into the pot of boiling vegetables. “They’ll be okay,” said Ochako, her face motivated and supported, as she proceeded onto a radish, chopping it into chunky little semicircles. “Whatever they end up trying, Deku-kun’s gentle, and he’ll probably do whatever he can to help. I have faith in him.” ***** Aqua Regia ***** They were there, through the door. Mina’s lips were on Izuku before they were even sitting on the bed, and she ran her fingers across his bare chest and sucked on his lower lip, dragging her teeth softly on his shoulder. She was all made up of looping flirtatiousness on the outside, concealing her straightforwardness and her hungry sense of passion; unlike Tooru, who was one soft, bright leap of faith from here to there, Izuku could feel her prior experience coming through in her deep breaths and venturesome squeezes of her hands. She lacked the air of exhibitionism that Izuku thought she would show, blushing a little when he put his hand to her chest. When she undressed, Izuku caught himself paying attention to every inch of her. He felt a little more reluctant now, more awkward and vulgar for him to be gazing at her naked in front of him, her thighs thick with muscle, her chest broad, her nipples were the same soft purple-pink as the rest of her body. “Don’t stare, you’re embarrassing me,” she whispered. He sat upright on the bed, with her perched in his lap, her fingers wrapped around and working his dick with one hand while they kissed. Izuku reached down with one hand to touch her between her legs, and was taken aback when she snatched his wrist. Mina looked like she was about to cry. “What’s wrong?” Without much warning, she broke down. “Oh my god, I’m sorry, Ash—Mina-chan,” he apologized, but she shook her head. “It’s not your fault.” “Are you okay?” “I’m fine. I’m sorry, I should’ve told you before we started. Please don’t get angry at me.” And with that, through a spate of tears, Mina gave him the short version of when she lost her virginity. Izuku was stunned. “And I-I think it was just that he w-was rough and he was big and we went a little fast and maybe I freaked out a bit. He didn’t force himself on me or anything. Like I really don’t want to do that to you.” “Hey, hey. It’s—it’s okay. If you’re too scared to try it again, we don’t have to do it.” “I should’ve told you from the start. I was so caught up in just… in trying to…” “W-well, I mean, it’s really good you told me,” he stammered. “Thank you for that. I really wouldn’t want to be surprised, i-in that way.” “I just don’t w-want to fall b-behind everybody else. I just want s-sex to work for me. Earlier, I was jealous because you were fucking Tooru, and Kyouka and Tsu were making fun of me, so I went and got a bunch of lube, so I thought, maybe like, we could at least dilute it a lot if I lost control, but I really don’t want to do that to you because you’re so nice to me…” “Remember what Uraraka said? I don’t think anybody would judge you if you didn’t, you know… make having s-sex work for you.” “I know,” she cried. “I’m just selfish, is all.” She sat, huddled against his shoulder, leaving a little wet spot where her face had been resting. “Um, Mina-chan?” Still with her body pressed against his, she didn’t look at him when she answered. “…yeah?” “You say that y-you have pretty good control over it normally, y-yeah? If you want to try, then, let’s try.” “Are you kidding?” He felt the little corona of pride for his friends, for wanting them to learn and grow and change alongside him, and it steadied him into making his decision. “I’m serious. We can go really slow to start.” Sniffling, she looked at him, and Izuku caught a glimpse of her gleaming black eyes, the irises sharp and yellow like lemon skin. “Really?” “Yeah.” “Promise me you won’t get angry if I can’t d-do it.” Izuku picked up the washcloth he’d given Tooru, which was laying at the foot of the bed, and dabbed at Mina’s cheeks. “I promise I won’t get angry.” She sniffed, then burst into laughter. “Did you just wipe my face with the cumrag?” “Oh j-jeez, I’m sorry!” “No, it’s fine. It’s actually kinda funny,” she giggled, some of the color returned to her voice. The air of resolve around him melted away like a puff of smoke in a gust of wind, as Izuku fumbled to apologize, but as Mina watched him, stammering and flustered, she thought about what he’d said, and she was glad by his companionship. She kissed him on the forehead affectionately, and after a spell of light giggling, her smile and earlier manner returned, for the most part. Mina wiped her eyes and looked at his. “Izuku-kun… are you sure?” “Yeah. Let’s try.” Out of the grocery bag that she had brought with, she retrieved a condom and relatively large bottle of water-based lube. Wearing the condom felt alien and cloying, and it took a bit before he got used to the continual stimulus of having it wrapped around a sensitive area of his body. “Okay,” Mina said softly. “If you feel anything off, or bad, or like… whatever, just pull out. You don’t have to say anything.” Izuku took a concatenation of soothing, readying breaths, focusing himself. “Okay.” Orienting herself with a hand on Izuku’s shoulder, Mina moved her hips downward, and slid his cock inside her. “You can start moving now,” she shuddered, her voice breathy. When Izuku moved, he found himself staring right into her eyes as he rolled his hips as slowly as he could manage. Her insides weren’t as crushingly tight as Tooru’s had been before she had acclimated, and so their complete, glacial movements felt a little less clumsy and more synchronized. Mina closed her eyes and rolled her head back, letting the rhythm of the encounter guide her, in an oblique fashion; the comfortable feeling of a long-awaited stretch in her quadriceps as she rose and fell. Mina smoothed his hair comfortably as he leaned forward, planting kisses on her neck and upper chest. Their sex was dreamlike and nearly silent, both of them pointing all their attention towards themselves, in a sense; almost feeling precarious while at the same time soothing to both of them. When their rhythm was perfect, it felt like trapeze, moving fluidly from partner to partner through somersault, catch and release. Mina wrapped her arms around him for a better grip. She was focusing so hard, but she wanted to whisper what she was thinking into his ear. Izuku, you’re amazing. ***** Upon the Topic of Anal ***** “Are they fucking yet?” asked Tsuyu. “Can you make anything out?” “They’re still so quiet! I can hear the bed a little, though.” “Momo-chan, would you come and watch this skillet and make sure the garlic doesn’t burn?” Momo crossed to the kitchen as Kyouka hurried over and got to her knees along with Tsuyu and a blushing Ochako. Kyouka extended one of her earjacks and plugged it into the previously-made hole for listening purposes, and at once, she could hear the inner goings-on of the bedroom. “Ummm... I think they’re having sex? Maybe not like, vaginal sex?” Tsuyu’s eyes were wide with excitement. “Whoa, you think he’s in her butt??” “God, no, Tsu-chan, I mean maybe Izuku doesn’t have his cock in her.” “Could I get a jack?” Tsuyu listened in, the wheels of investigation turning behind her bright black eyes. “No, I think they’re fucking. Like, vaginally.” “I disagree? I think he’s maybe got his fingers in her or something.” “Whoa, I feel like maybe that’s more dangerous, kyu~.” “Why?” “Running the risk of losing a finger while in training to be a pro hero?” “Beats having your junk reduced to meat paste.” Ochako snorted. “Mina-chan didn’t melt off anybody’s junk that we know of. I think the worst case scenario is that he ends up with a bit of a burn. Besides, Deku-kun nearly destroys his arm every time he uses his Quirk! Seems small compared to, I dunno, helping out a friend.” “Imagine if putting your fingers in a girl was an occupational hazard, then.” “What’s the word for that, when somebody else is fingering you?” “Um… ‘being fingered?’” “No… like, ‘manual sex’?” “I think you mean ‘digital sex,’” Momo replied from the kitchen. “Kyouka-chan, I think your garlic is done.” “Well, whatever,” Kyouka huffed, clearly disappointed with her listening abilities. She unplugged her jack from the wall and went back to tending her stir fry. “Although, Tsu-chan brings up a good point… if Mina has problems with vaginal sex, maybe anal would work for her? I mean, I think you really have to work up to doing that, but at least, if Mina’s really like, eager to be penetrated—” “That’s really not the issue,” said Momo. “I think it’s just that Mina has some degree of trouble controlling her Quirk during sex. The problem isn’t in getting around the danger. She laughs about it, but it’s plain to see that her own lack of control bothers her, and she’s headstrong. I think all of that combined poses a danger to her partner, basically no matter what they decided on doing for their, um, ‘action.’” “Hm. Well, that’s fair.” “Speaking of being eager to find out just what they’re up to in there…” Momo began, her cheeks pink and a little smile on her face. “…we’ll find out what they’re up to soon enough. Their time’s basically up.” ***** A Baptism of Sorts ***** The two of them were going as fast as they felt they could without pushing Mina. There was a thin sweat beading on Izuku’s forehead, and Mina still had her eyes closed, her lips twitching, with the two of them connected at the hips. At points they both moved, or else they traded off with one another, moving forwards-backwards, up and down. Looking at her face, Izuku saw that Mina was biting down on her lip, a glimpse of little white teeth peeking over her purple flesh, her head cocked downward with her yellow horns showing through her mess of pale pink hair. When a sharp rap came from the door, it broke the still reverie inside the bedroom like a stick of dynamite arcing through a bunker window. Mina instantly gasped, jumping a little, and wrecking their complex duet. Izuku, likewise, had kept going, and Mina’s trip caused him to push at an uncomfortable angle, tweaking himself inside her. He came to halt also. “Ah! Shit.” Then it happened; like a glass lazily sliding off a table, and the perilous silence as it falls toward the floor. Izuku felt the pressure of the condom change, variably, ever so slightly, and then a snap as the latex gave way. Then, a dangerous, chemically-laced tingle began. Mina saw his eyes widen in fear. “Shit!” He pulled out as fast as he could, and Mina was ready, snatching up the lube and squeezing out a heavy dollop in her palm, splashing it on the bare areas where the rubber had broken. Reaching down to try and prise the sections of the condom off, Mina stopped him. “No! I’ll do it.” She slid the pieces off of his dick, the area where it had broken just visible with a ragged, thinned edge. With a brusque quickness, she had them off, gathered in her other hand, while she rubbed around the lube with her other hand. “Are you alright?” “Y-yeah. Just, wow.” Izuku realized how winded he was. “Where does it hurt?” “It d-doesn’t hurt. I’m serious. I was just scared when I felt the condom break.” Mina closed one balled fist around the pieces of the broken prophylactic. She immediately looked downtrodden and frightened, and Izuku saw her lip quiver. “Mina-chan, it’s okay. You dealt with it just like you said you would.” “I thought I could control it. I thought I was doing w-well,” Mina said, her voice shaky. “Um, you were doing really well! I think it just spiked when you got surprised. And then you got it under control really fast!” Izuku reached out a hand and touched her arm, squeezing it apologetically. “Did—did you have fun?” Sniffling a little, she nodded. “Yeah. It felt really good. U-up until that.” He smiled, and Mina thought, just in the way the moonlight caught his face, his sincerity felt resolute and bolstering, like a person who truly does help others. “That’s all that matters, okay? I had fun with you and it felt really good.” She wiped her eyes. “You’re too nice to me, Izuku.” “Huh?” “You’re too nice, and you’re patient and cute and you have great abs. You’re too good for me,” Mina said, blinking away tears. “I d-don’t think th—” The rap at the door sounded again, and Momo’s voice came through muffled from the other side. “Mina, your time’s up.” “C-could you give us a minute?” Izuku responded. He looked at Mina. “I guess our turn’s over.” “We did last for a while, right?” “Yeah.” Izuku smiled at her, and Mina gave him a light kiss on the cheek. When she opened the door and stepped back out to rejoin the others, fist still clenched around the broken condom, she had a little shining sense of accomplishment; equal parts exploration, frustration, and vulnerability. “How’d it go, Mina-chan?” asked Kyouka. Mina was still sniffling, a little bit. So what if she’d melted another condom? She focused on the time that felt the most wonderful of it all, that Izuku hadn’t been humoring her or deigning to try something at his own expense. He’d just been a friend. “I lasted longer than last time,” she said, half laughing. She looked up, eyes still wet, wearing a little smile, brimming with pride. “I counted. Six minutes, thirteen seconds.” Kyouka’s expression faltered a little. “Whoa, is Izuku-kun okay?” “I’m good,” Izuku’s voice called weakly around the corner. “He’s fine, he didn’t get burned at all. He was really cool about it, too.” Mina gave a toothy grin to the room. “Wanna see the rubber I melted?” “Totally,” breathed Tsuyu. While the five girls in the common room huddled around Mina to inspect that damage that she’d wreaked, Izuku trudged past them toward the bathroom and furiously washed off his member in the sink, internally screaming. “Whoaaaa,” said Ochako. “That must’ve been really scary for Deku-kun!” “That’s really brutal to look it,” Kyouka managed, after a pause. Momo just blushed a little. After they were done reconnoitering, Mina retrieved a soda from the fridge and slumped on the sofa next to Momo, having exhausted herself emotionally. “Tsu-chan’s next,” said Momo, peering over the edge of the book at Tsuyu, who winked at her. “Yeah. Her turn oughta be really fun to tune in on,” Kyouka smirked, tossing a spatula-full of frying vegetables around the skillet and adding another dollop of oil. “I lost the bet,” remarked Tsuyu to Mina. Mina’s eyes widened. “Did you guys seriously—“ “Oh, Tsu-chan voted for you to play it safe and just stick to kissing, Mina- chan,” said Kyouka. “If you’re gonna get mad at anybody, get mad at her.” Tsuyu shrugged, and Mina giggled a little, feeling back within her normal senses. “So? What’s she gotta do?” Mina asked, most of her embarrassment washing away in a deluge of piqued interest. As Kyouka opened her mouth to answer her, Izuku walked out of the bathroom, still barely clothed, and headed back in to the bedroom. He stuck his head through the doorway. “Um, I’m just gonna chill out in here until Asui-san wants to start.” “You can call me Tsu-chan, Izuku-chan,” said Tsuyu, beaming from the couch. “Oh?” said Kyouka, leaning nonchalantly with her back to the counter. “You want anything to drink, or something?” “No, I’m f-fine. Um, Jiro—Kyouka-ch-chan, when did you say you were gonna have food ready?” “Tooru’s not even back from the store yet,” said Kyouka. “I’ll get started on the onigiri as soon as the rice is finished. Aiming to have those done after you finish up Tsu-chan,” she said, through a mischievous smile. “How you feeling?” “Good!” said Izuku, with a genuine look of bright, well-meaning contentedness on his face. “I’m, um, s-starting to get the hang of it, I think.” Ochako giggled loudly. “Deku-kun, you’re so cute.” Izuku’s ears turned red, and Kyouka snickered a little. “Well, um, whenever you’re ready, Ts-Tsuyu-chan,” he mumbled. At this, Tsuyu rose to her feet and stretched on tiptoe. “Kyu~! I’m ready now, Izuku-chan.” She strolled to the bedroom doorway and pressed herself into his trunk, pushing the two of them into the bedroom, and pushing the door closed behind her with a rapt slam. ***** Weirdo ***** The whole room felt electric and spasmodic. Everybody was expressing some kind of inner enthusiasm for Tsuyu’s turn, and simultaneously hiding it. Ochako took the tofu she was frying out of her skillet and beamed at her handiwork, a mound of impressive little golden brown prisms. “Tofu’s done. Ahh, they turned out so good!” “Thank you,” said Kyouka. “Wanna take a break for a second?” “Mm-hm!” Disaproning, she fetched a soda from the fridge and leaned against the counter, pulling the tab on the top and letting it open with a satisfying crackle. She let out a deep, contented sigh. “Gosh, this is all so exciting,” she said, her face in her hands, beaming like a maiden. Mina laid on the sofa lazily, slumped partway between the cushioned back and Momo’s tall frame. She ran one hand through her unruly pink hair, and looked over at Kyouka, who was already looking back at her. “I’m like, kinda impressed with all of us. I mean, I think that’s maybe a little early to be saying, but like, this feels like something that could’ve been just… totally outta hand?” said Ochako cheerily, halfway drinking a gulp of soda. Kyouka cut the gas to the stovetop and waved a cloud of billowing white steam off her stir-fry. “What about it could’ve gotten outta hand?” Mina asked. “Like, I mean, it definitely could’ve ended up way more awkward than this.” “I think you’ll agree, awkwardness is something we like, can’t really avoid when trying to talk somebody into something as wild as this,” said Kyouka, stretching her shoulders. “Operational and tactical hazards,” Momo rephrased, a kind of sagelike detachment in her voice, without looking up. She turned a page of her book. “’Operational and tactical hazards’ imply that I had something strategic that I was working toward,” Mina said, checking her fingernails idly. Kyouka issued a look of confusion. “Well, I mean, wasn’t your whole plan to, like, hook up with Izuku?” Mina laughed. “What ‘whole plan’? Kyouka, have you ever seen me make a real, actual ‘plan?’ I ‘scheme,’ like, at best.” The byzantium-haired girl at the kitchen counter, the one who was Mina’s perennial foil, gesticulated with both hands, as if to indicate a holism that encompassed themselves, the environment, and the social situation at hand. “Oh c’mon… the sleepover, Mina-chan?” “What about it? The sleepover’s a sleepover.” Momo looked down at Mina, her head resting against her shoulder. “You did pounce on the opportunity to make this whole night, um, risqué, though.” “Oh, no. It wasn’t to like, ‘get into this whole thing and get a boy to come over so I could make out with him.’ It was a lot simpler than that, to begin,” Mina said. She turned away, casting a wistful looking glance towards the door to the apartment. “I guess maybe, it was still, like, to spend the night with somebody. Not even close to sex. Maybe just a kiss.” Kyouka opened her mouth to posit yet another query, but almost as if on cue, the door opened, and Tooru squeezed through, dressed loosely in Mina’s clothes, her arms laden with groceries. “Tooru-chan!” “Hey!” Tooru was bubbly cuteness as she moved to the kitchen and set down her haul. “Back to it, Occhan,” said Kyouka, cracking her knuckles, as she unpacked a bag of frozen chuck and filled a bowl with hot water to defrost it. “Thanks, Tooru- chan.” “No problem! I locked up your bike on the railing out front. Where should I put your bike key, Occhan?” “Just tuck it into the outer pocket of my bag!” Tooru went and plopped down next to Mina and Momo. “Gosh, those clothes so cute on you. All soft and boyish! That shirt fits you pretty well.” Mina ran one hand across the stomach of the thin black v-neck that Tooru had donned, and Tooru giggled. “Aw thanks! I didn’t wanna wear my school uniform out so late. Sorry I borrowed them without asking.” “No, it’s totally fine! If I trust anybody with my clothes, it’s you. Although,” Mina said, peeking through Tooru’s midriff at the back of the skirt, “can’t help but notice you’re not wearing panties, you weirdo.” “You’re the weirdo for noticing, Mina-chan! I was trying to get out the door quickly!” Tooru said, making a wriggling motion out of embarrassment, and pulling the shirt down to cover the view. “But c'mon, how was your turn with Izuku-kun?? I was gone for the whole thing and I couldn’t tune in!” “Um,” Mina thought momentarily, attempting to pick out a word, “it was, like, a learning experience, to be fair, but I had a lot of fun. He’s nice.” “Yeah! Izuku’s really awkward, and like, I don’t think I would try anything, like, too crazy with him, but he has really good rhythm!” “Right? He’s got, like, weirdly good muscle control. And he’s way more like, shredded than I thought he’d be. Well, I mean, I guess he DID get into U.A., but you know what I mean.” Momo mumbled something inquisitive, but a little too softly for Mina to make it out. “What’d you say, Momo-chan?” “Uhh… i-is he… ‘w-well endowed?’” Momo stammered out, hiding behind the lip of her book. “Not really,” said Tooru. “It looks way bigger close up. Although, he was a little, um, thicker than I thought, and we were going pretty fast by the end, so I was kinda sore right after.” Mina’s eyes were twinkling, in a manner characteristically gossipy. “Did you guys do anything other than like, vaginal? Did he go down on you?” “He didn’t get me off! Close, though. He offered to but I figured he was just gonna be fumbling around for like ten minutes and not get anything done, so I just opted to get myself off after.” “Aw!” “Oh, it’s fine,” Tooru said, laughing. “Just one of the drawbacks of the Quirk. I didn’t actually get any time to finish, because you guys burst in like you did. Did he manage to get you off?” “We ended kinda fast because of, yanno, the whole condom melting thing. He’s totally fine, by the way,” she added, seeing Tooru’s silhouette visibly tense up. “Kinda a shame, he got me like 90% there. What a loser, right?” Her tone was overly girlish and clearly in jest. “Maybe you’ll have better luck, Momo- chan.” Momo smiled broadly. “I’m still… trying to decide if I want to.” “Well, nobody will hold anything against you if you decide you’re not ready.” “Oh, it’s not that. I’m absolutely ready. It’s just…” She thought for a moment. “I think that maybe this whole situation’s moving too fast for me.” Tooru bounced a little in place, her version of a nod. “Well, maybe you’ll do some kissing or something, if you feel like it! You should do what you feel!” “Even if you don’t, Izuku-kun’s a really good listener and he’ll just talk if you want,” Mina added, and at this, Momo blushed a little, an expression half in self-uncertainty  and crimson thought. “Just listening would mean the world.” There was a sudden, amorphous thump from the bedroom, and it was as if a siren was blaring in the apartment. Everyone immediately turned their attention towards the wall. ***** "This is Just Like One of My Japanese Animes!" ***** Tsuyu was the shortest of the girls. When she stretched on tiptoe, you could see her body proportions, evidence of her heteromorphic Quirk; a limber, long- legged look, with a slightly shorter torso, ending in big hands and feet. She’d tied her green-black hair up in a loopy bow right up to the back of her head, complementing her soft, oversized sweater-dress. She looked playful and rakish, the tip of her tongue hanging out the corner of her mouth, as she moved toward Izuku. The two of them took their place on Mina’s bed. After a pause, a section of uneasy stillness, Izuku made the move to speak, but was immediately cut off by Tsuyu. “I think you’re really cool, Izuku-chan.” Izuku noticed how she held her hands, cocked at the end of her wrists. She had shiny black eyes, perpetually wide, and there was a touch of pink in her cheeks, and there was something oddly feline about her movements on all fours. Izuku genuinely couldn't tell if she was nervous, which, in reciprocity, made him slightly more nervous.  “Um, thanks. I think y-you’re really cool too, Tsuyu-chan.” Himself in ever- present, indispellable sheepishness, he didn’t know how to move the conversation forward much more productively. Like Mina, there was a vulnerability in the room between the two of them, where seeing Tsuyu in this context, without her uniform, clad in soft fabric, made him more embarrassed than the fact of having had sex with two girls prior. Furthermore, he was still a little worked up from his time with Mina, which returned as a steady trickle of blood back towards his nether regions. “Can we kiss?” asked Tsuyu, leaning forward a little. When they kissed, the pacing for their encounter sped up, faster and faster. Tsuyu was moving, pushing into him, kissing harder and breathing harder with each exchange, and letting him catch up. Each breath felt like an acceleration. Tsuyu’s tongue, or at least, the first dozen or so centimeters of it, was in his mouth, rolling around his own and probing every inch of its insides, over teeth and gums, until it was basically penetrating his throat, and he was sucking it, with drool running down his chin. “Wow,” he said, feeling the drool on his lips. “Tsuyu-chan, you’re really lewd.” She giggled a little, her intense satisfaction with him brimming the surface. She ran a finger across his shirt. “Can I see you naked?” she asked, her tone happy and greedy-sounding. Izuku obliged her, pulling his shirt up over his head, and she undid the buttons on his shorts and slid them, boxers included, off of him with impressive speed. She towered over him, drinking in the sight of his chest and trunk and crotch before laying atop him and kissing him again, traveling down his neck to his chest and nipples, the soft fabric of her sweater against his bare skin. Izuku let out a moan as she caressed across almost his whole upper body, and she giggled, showing her tongue. With her hips in the air and her mouth to his chest, her sweater bunched up and fell lazily around her as she licked at him, revealing a pair of black panties and her wriggling hindquarters. Eventually, she peeled the sweater off, showing off her teardrop breasts, with tiny, dark nipples. “Izuku-chan, could you stand up?” “Y-yeah.” She met him with another deep, throat-tickling kiss, and pushed him backwards until his back struck the wall with a soft thud. He felt her chest with one hand while she moaned, grinding her crotch up and down the knee he was using to steady himself, leaving a damp smear. Tsuyu reached down with one hand and felt how hard he was with a cursory, loose squeeze. “Can I blow you? I’ll probably be good at it,” she smirked, spooling out a length of pink tongue and waggling it in front of him. Izuku gave a fast nod, more or less the first time he’d shown real, outward excitement toward a partner tonight. She dropped to her knees and put his cock in her mouth. The first several strokes were mostly all the inside of her mouth, but slowly, surely, her tongue furled around him, snaking down the shaft and coming to rest under his balls. The sensation was warm, slick, squeezing from all angles, and as much as he attempted to stifle his moaning, she coaxed it, swaggeringly, from deep in his chest, and gave a little raspy giggle when he gave a full-body shudder, or let his eyes roll back. “Jeez, Tsuyu-chan,” he laughed, abashed at how forward and intense she was, her technique oddly astounding him. “You’re really g-good at this… is it really your first time?” “Is it really yours?” she riposted, before going back down on him. The feeling went rollicking over him as she kept going, her intensity unabated. “Tsuyu-chan…” He had surfaced so fast, the stimulus was crazing his senses. It was as if his climax was ripped from him, the orgasm white-hot and wracking his body with aftershocks, both of his hands dug deep into Tsuyu’s hair as he exploded in her mouth. His organ rippled softly, pumping against Tsuyu’s tongue, which wrapped around him like a morning glory on a streetlamp. The cum dribbling from the tip of his dick slowed to a runny trickle, and Tsuyu swallowed the considerable amount in her mouth with an audible gulp. An expression of grading its taste went flitting across her expression, although she opted not to add any verbal commentary. Izuku physically felt his vision blur slightly, and he swayed, and in response to this, Tsuyu hopped up and steadied him. “Are you okay, Izuku?” “…holy shit, Tsuyu.” ***** Upon the Topics of Slaking Thirst, Technique, and Efficiency ***** Kyouka was breathing heavily as she listened. Ochako was too, her face red from ear to ear. “I think they’re slowed down for now,” said Kyouka. “Wow, though.” “That was really graphic. Um, well, really graphic sounding,” said Ochako, removing Kyouka’s jack from her ear. “Yeah,” said Mina, who was still sitting on the couch with Momo. “We like, didn’t even need the jacks to hear what was going on.” “Gosh, I could hear them from over here,” said Tooru, who was minding the stovetop. They were in rapt attendance towards the wall, where behind lay intercourse that Momo would later describe, her face beet red, as ‘combative.’ In the silence that they had cultivated within the common room and kitchen, the only sounds to be heard were the steady, murmuring bubble of the rice cooker and the sounds of soft frying from the skillet, the air thick with the smell of cooking beef, curry powder, and the sugary tang of open soda cans. Checking the clock on her phone, Kyouka realized they had nearly nine minutes left. Mina shifted a little. She was worrying at her lip with her teeth, and felt increasingly more and more worked up from her turn with Izuku, where it ached like she could still feel him, materializing between her legs. She sighed, and moved to the kitchen area where Tooru, a green apron floating over a shirt and skirt, was standing, helpfully scooping and moving piles of beef and vegetables in the skillet around. “Tsu-chan’s good, isn’t she?” asked Tooru, her voice wondrous. “Yeah, she sounds… energetic,” Mina said, trying to keep a note of jealousy from dripping out in her voice. “I kinda wish I could… um… see what’s going on,” Tooru said, her tone softening. “Just to, you know, see her technique. Although, I know there’s not a lot of really intense stuff you can do if you can’t see your partner. I dunno. It just sounds so impressive.” Her last word was tinged with a mixture of adoration and envy. “I kinda do too,” Mina said. “But, I mean, it doesn’t really feel like it’ll do too much to change my technique, or anything. I don’t think there’s a lot I could really, like, accomplish with somebody who’s not paying really good attention to me. Like, I might have to rethink… just how I have sex, for safety’s sake.” She smiled at Tooru, weakly. “We’re dangerous girls, the two of us,” Tooru said, a little uptick of caprice in her voice. Mina felt Tooru’s fingers entwine with hers, and she squeezed her hand softly. “So, um…” Mina began, not knowing how to phrase the question. “…when this night’s like, all over, do you think you’ll ever hook up with Izuku-kun again?” “I’d definitely try,” Tooru affirmed. “He’s a sweetie. Not too fast, not too slow. I still would probably get annoyed with how much I have to lead a guy around, like, physically, during sex. How about you?” “Oh, still thinkin’ on it! I think, like, he’s absolutely got the potential to be the kind of attentive guy that would keep helping me figure out like, the weird ins and outs of my Quirk.” “Kyouka-chan asked if I was gonna want another turn with Izuku, and I kinda do.” “Same. But, if we go again, then everybody else’ll wanna go again. Then what?” “Then we juggle him until we all fall asleep, or something,” Tooru said, through a conspiratorial laugh. “Or we figure out something more… I don’t know. Efficient?” “Guys!” It was Kyouka, her face alight again. “They’ve started up again,” she said greedily, in a stage whisper. Ochako took a deep breath and replaced Kyouka’s other jack in her ear. And just beyond the wall, Tsuyu kept at it, the bed thumping like the heartbeat of the apartment itself. The rice cooker beeped, almost in accordance with all of them. ***** Rode Hard, Put Away Wet ***** Tsuyu was on top of him, naturally. Her panties lay discarded to one side of Izuku, black with a sizable wet patch on them. She had been extremely timid when she had rolled the condom on with her fingers, and even more when she’d clambered on top to start and lowering herself onto him, her cheeks accented by little pink circles of blush. She had uttered a squeak when it was inside for the first time, but when she had settled into a squat and begun moving her hips, she had taken off with overwhelming ferocity, far outstripping the pushback that Izuku had been contributing to their intercorporeal conversation. Eventually their conversation reached a fever pitch, where the other discernable sounds of the shifting, rocking bedframe and their panting and moaning all melted slickly into the background. Tsuyu ran her fingers up his bare chest while keeping up the same rhythm, her hips striking the same place over and over again. There was something about her, about how powerful she felt, on top of him, visibly dripping sweat, her taut, ropelike muscles showing like bunches of paracord through her velvety skin. “Izuku-channnn,” her voice frying to a desperate croak, the strength between her squeezing thighs making him feel like he was going to burst. “I’m… coming…” She halted, a spasm coursing through her, visible on her shivering skin and in her hardened, dark nipples, her large, flat toes undulating and squeezing the flesh around his legs. She stayed upright as it went rippling through her, satisfying and alien as the touch of a peregrine ghost, the movement of a disembodied heart clenching and unclenching, tightening around him, which became too much for him as well, and he wordlessly climaxed, either by sheer exhaustion or resigned admiration. It was oddly enough, in a sense, at this sticky, grinding, striating, sweat-soaked toe-curling moment, that Izuku knew that Tsuyu would become an amazing hero someday. Her voice was still shivery, and she had managed to shake loose a handful of stray strands from the looping bun at the back of her head. “Did… did you come?” “Yeah.” Izuku managed a single affirmative before passing out from sheer exhaustion. Outside the room, Momo was posed, about to knock on the door to signal the end of Tsuyu’s turn, when the door opened suddenly. The sudden rush of air from the common room whipped through, carrying with the smells of cooking food and the conversations outside of the bedroom. The rest of the cadre stared at Tsuyu in her oversized sweater and still glistening with sweat, impressed at her punctuality. “Tsu-chan? Wow, you’re right on time,” said Momo. “Are you two done?” “I think I broke Izuku,” she said, frantically. “What?” “Could I get some water for him, or something?” Sure enough, everybody came to investigate. Momo held a glass of ice water while Kyouka attended to the husk of a boy on Mina’s bed. Kyouka roused him with one hand. “Jeez, Tsu-chan, what’d you do to him?” “Is he dead?” asked Mina. “He’s limp all over.” “Um, maybe I was a little overenthusiastic?” “Did you suck out his fucking soul?” asked Kyouka, her voice incredulous. “I got two shots out of him,” Tsuyu said, trying to crack a weak smile, as she redid the bun at the top of her head. “I was really proud of myself up until when he fainted.” “He came twice? In twenty minutes? Are you some kind of succubus??” “Deku-kun looks so drained,” Ochako whispered, trying to avert her eyes from his junk. Kyouka gathered up a small handful of ice water and tossed it on Izuku, which resuscitated him quickly. He awoke to find himself surrounded by the girls of 1-A, who looked amazed, like coroners who have successfully resurrected a corpse. “Huh!? What?!” Realizing he was naked, and fumbling to cover himself, Izuku rose groggily. Mina giggled. “Hey, Deku-kun. Tsu really did a number on you, huh?” “How long was I out?” “A couple minutes,” Kyouka proffered, pushing the glass of water on him. “C’mon, rehydrate a little.” Izuku drank the water thirstily, then blushed when he realized that Kyouka was letting him drink from it like a tired horse. “Okay, maybe another ground rule? Max of one load, per person,” Kyouka promulgated, laughing a little. “Tooru, could you grab the rag and like, wipe him down?” “Sure!” Tooru issued cheerily, and she went to work peeling off the condom as gently as she could. There was a brief moment wherein the two girls, nursing him while four watched, was far and beyond the weirdest thing that happened that night. Tooru giggled a little. “Sorry,” Izuku mumbled, his voice shot through with fatigue. “Nah, it’s fine. Why don’t you take a bit of a break? Like, a short nap and regain some of your strength, then we’ll see how you’re doing. The rice is done and we’ll have food ready in a bit. You got a preference for onigiri?” “Curry potato,” Izuku said, his own voice far away and spiritlike. “I’ll save you a couple. Maybe some protein?” “Sounds great,” Izuku said before greedily dunking his face back into the water glass. One by one, the girls departed the room, as Izuku set the glass aside and pulled the covers over himself to sleep for a spell. Kyouka sighed, outside the room. “We gotta be careful not to kill that boy.” “I’m so sorry,” Tsuyu apologized, on the verge of tears. “We just kept going and going. I swear he was fine up until the end.” “It’s okay, Tsu-chan,” Momo said. “I think, maybe with a little reprieve and some nourishment, he’ll be back to normal.” “Occhan, let’s get back to making food,” Kyouka said, beckoning her over. “Can you prep the fillings?” “How long should we, like, let him sleep? He really just passed out again,” Mina asked, looking over at the bedroom door. “I don’t know. Let him go for like, an hour, then we’ll wake him up for food.” “Gosh, Kyouka, didn’t realize you were such a mom,” Mina teased. “I was the one who started this, but you’ve really taken control of it, huh?” “Mina-chan, sweetie, you never had control of it,” Kyouka remarked brusquely, with a smile. She moved to the stove where Ochako was already working and began washing her hands in the sink. Mina sat down next to Tooru on the sofa. “Doesn’t look like we’ll get second turns.” Tooru sighed, leaning her head against Mina’s shoulder. “I was just thinking that.” ***** Racehorse Pee ***** After about an hour of extremely productive sleep, Izuku awoke, a modicum of his strength returned, and roused himself to stretch. It was well into nighttime, and the kind of magical stillness that had begun in the bedroom seemed to have contaminated the outside. The temperature had dropped considerably, and a cool breeze wafted in from the window. The lively sounds of conversation thrummed from the common room, and Izuku went to join them. Opening the door felt like traveling through a portal to another world. Six pairs of eyes, one invisible, gazed back at him as he entered the common room. “Hey, cutie,” Mina said teasingly. “Rested up?” “Y-yeah, for now,” Izuku said. He took a seat at the little recess between Kyouka and Tooru. Kyouka handed him a plate filled with stir-fry, onigiri, and several nigirizushi rolls of varying crustacean and fish. “Wow, these look great, Kyouka-chan.” Izuku bit into one of the onigiri, exposing the bright yellow of the curry center. He sighed with contentment as he chewed readily. “This is the best thing I have ever eaten.” “Thanks. I snack a lot and I can make basic foods. I’m not a chef,” Kyouka said, picking up a roll with a fat slice of seabass and popping it into her mouth. She grinned at Izuku, her eyes piercing. “Tsu-chan was just telling us about how she cut a path right through you, Izuku-chan.” A loose, looping string of titters went through the group. Tsuyu blushed a little, but mostly looked proud of herself. Their conversation was totally normal, for the most part. The food that Kyouka and Ochako had prepped was fantastic; the girls conversed about anything and everything, happily, and while Izuku barely got a chance to speak, he didn’t feel like he needed to. It felt nice to be locked into the circle of laughing schoolmates on a Friday night, disregarding the weird circumstances of their ingrouping. “Izuku-kun, you really think you’ll last through all six of us?” Kyouka asked him concernedly. Izuku nodded, his mouth full of rice. “Yeah. I mean, I th-think so.” “Maybe I’ll go retrieve my secret weapon,” Mina said, her voice full of scheming and silky tone. “What’s that? Another boy to relieve Izuku-kun?” “Okay, look,” Mina giggled. She got up, traipsed over the refrigerator, and dug around in it, finally retrieving a black can with a bright blue logo, labeled ‘Canned Lightning.’ “I went and bought this along when I was pissed with Kyouka-chan and went out to get condoms, and it was like, 1300 yen, so it was totally a spur-of-the-moment thing. I was uh, saving it for when you were halfway? But it seems like you might need it now.” “Thanks, Mina-chan.” “It totally brings back your stamina and gives you a little burst of energy? I assume it was adapted from some random guy’s Quirk. Anyways, they actually do kinda work and I used one for pulling an all-nighter once. You’re not supposed to drink more than one in a certain span of time, and you do kinda crash really hard after a bit, so like, if you do drink that, make it count!” “Mina, let him put actual food in his body before giving him an energy drink, or a steroid, or whatever the hell that is.” “Oh my god, Kyouka, quit babying him and let him make his own decision.” “Y-yeah, give it here. I’ll drink it.” “Ugh, have some water also.” Kyouka looked him up and down. “In case you forgot, I’m next, and I don’t want you dying during my turn.” “Deku-kun’s so strong and capable,” Ochako said admiringly. “He won’t die.” “This was endorsed by Supercollider!” Izuku remarked, getting that bright and invested look in his eyes whenever his superhero knowledge came to tow. “That’s cool.” “Whoa, really?” Ochako got up and sat next to Izuku, and the two of them became embroiled in an intense discussion of superhero endorsements and Quirk-created commercial products. It was so sudden that Izuku forgot to be embarrassed. “Well, c’mon,” Mina prodded him. “Drink itttttt.” She began a mock chant of “Drink it, drink it” which Tsuyu and Tooru joined in on until Izuku stopped perusing the label. He popped the tab, and downed half of it in one gulp. “Ugh. That’s really bad.” “Oh my god, right? Like racehorse pee.” Kyouka sniffed gingerly at the can’s top. “Jeez, that smells like train fuel.” Nevertheless, as Izuku drained the rest of the can, he felt an immediate buzz, and much of the strength returning to his hands and hips. Mina had a look of such pure, unadulterated excitement at the newly recharged Izuku that it was almost cute, if a little alchemical. “You sure look pleased with yourself, Mina-chan.” Kyouka snatched a fat red prawn roll off Mina’s plate and chewed it down with the kind of grin only rivals have for one another. Mina returned her grin with one more gladiatorial, looking feral and delighted. “He is going to wreck you, and I am going to listen to every second of it,” Mina said to Kyouka, through a venomous smile. Dinner slowed to a crawl after everybody was full, and Ochako and Mina began clearing plates, with Tooru wrapping up the remaining food in plastic and stowing it in the fridge. Kyouka downed the rest of a glass of water and popped to her feet. “Wanna chill out for like, another ten minutes? Then we can get started?” “Y-yeah,” said Izuku, a little taken aback by how businesslike Kyouka seemed. She had vacillated wildly from joker to motherly and ended up oddly set on her turn with Izuku. Kyouka headed in the direction of the bathroom and disappeared inside. Izuku felt a light, anxious tap at his shoulder, and turned around to come face to face with Momo. “Hey,” said Momo. “Hey,” Izuku repeated. “Um… Kyouka-chan doesn’t show it, but she’s really excited. I think she’s really impressed by you.” “Huh. Really?” “Mm-hm!” “Do you, uhh, h-have any pointers?” Izuku asked, mostly jokingly. “Hmm,” said Momo, her tone pensive. “She looks cool and composed, but she can get timid and flustered at times, and she’s clearly a little nervous for her turn with you. I think she’s practicing what to say in front of the mirror right now. At any rate, I think just listening to you, um, being with three other girls has won her over.” “Wow. I think Kyouka-chan’s really cool.” “She is very cool, and she’s so harsh all the time, but she’s, um, a little self-conscious about herself. Just make sure she has fun, okay? And don’t tell anybody what she’s like when she’s flustered, because she’ll actually punch you.” “Thanks, Momo-chan.” “You use my first name so easily! And to think, before tonight, you were just a boy from school.” Momo blushed. “Good luck, I-Izuku-kun.” ***** Girl Boy Tom ***** Kyouka was skinny, the least curvy of the girls, with little handfuls for breasts. She discarded the ragged tank top and boyshorts she’d been wearing, running a hand through her purple-black hair and steadying herself mentally. In the moonlight, her muscles showed when her grip tensed on the edge of the bed. Izuku couldn’t help but smile when he saw that she was wearing aquamarine- colored panties, and Kyouka spotted him. “What? What’s so funny?” “N-nothing, I just… didn’t expect that color of underwear from you.” “And I didn’t expect you to still be going strong after fucking three girls. It’s a night to be surprised, I think,” Kyouka retorted acidly. “S-sorry. Are you n-nervous?” Kyouka snorted. “No.” She sat on the bed and looked up at Izuku, her piercing gaze coming up from under her sharply-cut bangs. After a minute, she shifted a little, visibly tense. “Okay, maybe a little. Who isn’t, with their first time?” “Look, w-we don’t have to do anything if you don’t w-want to—” “No, I’m cool. I want to.” “You’re, um, you’re not, like, doing this just to be competing with Mina-chan, right? I mean, you guys have been taunting each other all night.” “I don’t know. Maybe I kinda am. Maybe I’m nervous because Mina and I have been at this thing all night, maybe I’m competing with her because I’m nervous, I don’t know. Part of me really really wants to, like, share a nice moment with you, Izuku-kun. And part of me really wants to lose my virginity, even though virginity is made up and a meaningless thing that I shouldn’t be worried about. But all jumbled together like this is just making me a little anxious, y’know?” “Yeah. That sounds like a lot.” She fidgeted, almost imperceptibly. “God, I want a cigarette.” “I didn’t know you smoked.” “Well, you don’t hang out with me, do you?” “Kyouka-chan, we’re hanging out right now,” Izuku said, a weak grin on his face. Kyouka smiled warmly. “Fine, be a smartass. It’s not like a daily thing, or anything, just the few that I can pinch off my mom, but I quit, given that I’m in training, and it sucks. I mean, it was just time to start taking being a hero seriously.” “Why do you wanna become a hero, Kyouka-chan?” “I don’t know you well enough to tell you that, to be honest.” She gave him as inoffensive a look as she could muster. “But maybe, one day I will.” They sat there, the air slightly chilly, and she leaned against his chest and exhaled briefly. “Are you gonna… tell the other guys about tonight?” He laughed, a miserable ragged edge in his voice. “Who would I tell? Iida-san? Kacchan??” “Right, dumb question. Can I ask you something kinda weird?” “Um, okay.” “Why’d you agree to do this if you have such a big crush on Occhan?” He was quiet for a bit. “I don’t know. I felt a little roped into kissing Tooru-chan, to be honest. That was sprung on me super fast, and I figured it would be over without like, anything really bad happening. But when she and I were there, and we started having sex, it was just…” Izuku was grasping for the right words to elucidate. “It felt so g-good and nice, and normal? I guess I’m a little s-selfish for wanting to feel like that over and over again.” “I think you’re just a teen boy and you’re kinda ruled by hormones.” “Right. But also, I felt like I got to know Tooru-chan better. And I wanted to get to know everybody else better. I mean, not if they didn’t want to do anything with me, but… and then, Ura—I mean, Occhan’s here too…” “So is Occhan like the grand prize at the end of this race, or something?” He tried to shake his head, but it came out unsteady, his nervousness apparent like a badge on his skin. “I’m doing this for myself because it feels good and I feel like it’s helping me be a little less timid with people, and especially with people I want to be friends with, and also for Occhan, and then also for everybody else, because I’m here, and this all just sorta fell into place. Not perfectly, but… kinda perfectly. So I understand how you feel anxious about this, because I feel that too. And I’m s-still a little nervous, to be totally honest.” “School’s gonna be weird after this.” “You can say that again.” It was the strangest context for Kyouka, to be alongside a boy she'd seen undergoing excruciating bouts of pain, staring down adversaries with a savage expression; to hear the way he sputtered out every sentence, wracked by minor tides of anxiety every time he opened his mouth, was honest and comforting. She could feel his breath through his chest as she leaned against him and said nothing for a bit. Eventually, Kyouka sat up and looked him right in the eyes. “Thanks. For talking with me a little bit. It helped take the edge off. Birds of a feather, you and I.” She booped the end of his nose with one finger, such a characteristically un-Kyouka gesture that it took Izuku by surprise. “Nah, I’m not as cool as you, Kyouka-chan.” “Bullshit,” she said, and she leaned in and kissed him. Kissing Kyouka was stiff and unyielding. She didn’t overflow him like Tooru did, or attack him with a hungry sultriness like Mina, or have the strange and mutative quality of Tsuyu. It felt grounding, to a certain degree. She put one hand over his while their lips were together. When they broke apart, she smiled at him. “I think I do wanna have sex with you, Izuku.” “I’ll be gentle, if you’re still nervous.” “I’m still really nervous. But gentle’s not really my thing. Just pick a speed and I’ll catch up.” ***** Antediluvian ***** The room outside wasn’t exactly bustling with activity. Tsuyu had joined Momo on the couch, playing her DS beside Momo, who was still quietly reading. Ochako was dozing comfortably out on a chair on the balcony. Mina eventually gave up listening at the wall after several minutes and laid alongside Tooru on her futon. “Ugh, I can’t stand this. I’m still so worked up,” she whispered to Tooru. “Me too,” Tooru agreed. “I think if we’re lucky, we’ll get a turn with Izuku- kun in the morning?” “Mmmmm,” whined Mina. “It’s not a huge deal if I have to hold out for that long, but that kinda sucks.” “It’s kinda masochistic for us to be sitting out here and be like, whining about how horny we are while at the same time wanting to listen to people having sex, right?” “Yeah, it is.” Mina sighed. “Maybe I’ll go jerk off in the bathroom or something,” she said, her tone facetious. “Whoa,” Tooru said. “R-really?” “Uh, I mean, probably not. I was joking. It seems kinda weird to do that.” “Why? Have you forgotten you’re hosting an orgy at your apartment?” “It’s not really, like, an orgy though, if you think about it.” “Segmented, group-sex-round-robin thing,” needled Tooru. “Are you seriously suggesting this, as like, a real, plausible solution to a problem that neither of us ever imagined we’d have?” “Well, I guess I am now.” “How fast do you think you could finish?” “Probably like, between five and ten minutes.” “So, between the two of us consecutively, occupying the bathroom for like, half an hour?” “Do you seriously need twenty minutes to jerk off?” “Kinda, yeah.” “Well, we could break it up,” Tooru suggested. “You go first, because you’ll take longer, and I’ll just hold out until a later point and finish then.” “No,” said Mina. “You oughta go first. You’ve been waiting longer than me.” The soft sound of bed sounds and hushed voices started up next door. Tsuyu cocked her head, bearing a furrowed expression, one ear nearly stuck to the wall. “What’re they doing? Can you make any of it out?” Momo asked. “I hear the bedframe, and the two of them, and what sounds like a vibrator low on batteries,” Tsuyu said, puzzled. “A vibrator low on—oh!” Momo blushed. “I know what Kyouka-chan’s doing.” “Well, um,” Tooru started up, lowering her voice a little more. “I know a way we could shave off ten minutes, easy.” “How?” “Um, we go at the same time, and umm, k-keep each other company.” Mina was taken aback, and her heart was fluttering, knocking against her ribs and loud in her head. “Wh-what?” “I mean, we ARE both girls.” “G-girls don’t go into a single toilet bathroom together at an apartment. And even then, what do we do when we’re there?” “We could, um, go back to back while we’re both doing it.” Mina’s errant anxiety was cut, and she laughed softly. “That's something, like, frat boys would do.” Tooru shifted a little. “Well… what if we took a shower together?” “That, um…” Mina, wide-eyed, had no answer to this, a question sprung on her by Tooru, her silly, outgoing, and yet still-so-shy-about-sex friend. Mina bit her lip a little, quiet for a brief moment, blindsided, scared, but wanting her to continue.   “I just,” Tooru began, a little abashed, “I just think that it’s no weirder than like, everything else that’s happening tonight. I mean… we’re all… ‘experimenting,’ aren’t we?” Mina closed her eyes, swallowing to realign her thoughts and senses, fighting to calm the ringing spell in her chest. There was some feeling that was twisting in Mina’s throat, digging around deeper and deeper, that told her to refuse Tooru, even though she desperately wanted to go with her, the feeling present between her legs and spiraling on the tip of her tongue, her brain feeling like a battlefield of emotional turmoil and sexual frustration. With her voice quavering and nervous, Tooru asked her. “Would you come and take a shower with me, and, um… and b-be with me?” “Tooru-chan. For the sake of the sleepover. What’s gonna happen at school afterwards?” It was Tooru's turn to laugh softly. “I don’t know. But, I feel like I’m asking you because I know I feel comfortable around you, and I like you, and no matter what, you’re my best friend.” “Really? You’re my best friend too, Tooru.” Mina felt a soft peck on her forehead from Tooru’s wet lips. It was calming, driving her towards her decision. “L-let’s go for it.” “Okay.” Mina slowly got up, shakily. Luckily for her, Tsuyu and Momo’s attentions were both held by the wall, and the cryptic activities within that Kyouka was undertaking with Izuku. Ochako was still on a chair out on the balcony. The two of them held hands as they crossed to the bathroom as inconspicuously as they could, knowing that they would be noticed afterwards. Even if the two of them had kissed earlier, in front of everyone, it had felt playful and unserious, like some kind of girlish in-joke; they were in uncharted territory now, more grave and intimate. They cast their clothes off on the bathroom floor, and when they were naked, Tooru held Mina’s hand again, just to let her know she was right beside her. When they were through the doors, their caution felt like it was evaporating by the second, being replaced, bit by bit. Tooru was immediately in her arms, and Mina could feel her breath across her neck. The shower was little, and the two of them could barely fit standing upright. The words were icepick-sharp with longing when they came out of Tooru’s mouth. “C’mon, Mina, you were my first kiss. How about you finish what you started?” ***** Screamin' Eagle ***** Their hands were thrust between the other’s legs when Kyouka, breathing heavily and with a smile on her face, asked him, “Wanna try something kinda weird?” And given that it was a night heavily fraught with experimentation, Izuku did not tarry in delivering an affirmative answer. Spooling out one of her jacks, she tucked it between her middle and ring finger, and with a loose hand on Izuku, sent the thumping vibrations of her heartbeat into her palm, stroking him slowly. Izuku steadied himself with a hand on her shoulder. “W-wow.” “Do you like that?” “Yeah.” “I’ve been doing this to jerk off for like, ages. I know it’s kinda narcissistic, but…” She spooled out her other jack and tucked it between the fingers Izuku was rubbing her with, instantly shuddering, making her heartbeat go faster, making her shudder again. She leaned a little, and let both of his fingers slide in her. The two of them shared with back-and-forth motion of separate hands and wrists and thumping heartbeats. “Ahh… Izuku…” The vibrations coursed through her hands and hips and rattled her lower body. “I think… I think I’m warmed up. Do you wanna fuck me?” “Yeah.” She grinned and laid back while he fished out a condom and slid it on. From her view, he was just a dark shadow in the light of the moon around him. She didn’t gasp when he put it in; she simply closed her eyes. Izuku started slow, soon swelling to a brisk pace, rolling his hips to complete revolutions like a mechanical piston. Kyouka tucked her legs to her chest and locked her arms under her knees, moaning softly. She looked down him, working away inside her, and stifled a little giggle. “What’s up?” “…I dunno… I was so psyched out to have a dick inside me… but this is, like, easy.” Izuku couldn’t help it. He laughed also. “Are you doing okay?” “Yeah! I’m proud of myself.” They kept up the same position and pace for a bit. Kyouka gave one of his wrists a little squeeze, a nonverbal motion to slow down. “Mm! Sorry, my leg’s cramping a little bit holding this position. Can I flip over?” She turned over, laying flat on her stomach with her legs knitted together, and looked over her shoulder at him. He was immediately enamored with her heart- shaped butt, with the little line of dark hair running from her crotch up to her asshole, spreading her cheeks and seeing her fat-lipped vulva. “Can you grab me the lube?” He gave her the bottle, and she smeared a generous portion with two fingers inside her entrance, applying it up to her knuckles. “Kyouka, I’m gonna put it in now.” “Go for it.” He reached a little deeper inside her now in this position, with his hands on his hips, the front of his hips running up against her butt with each stroke. Kyouka turned her head to one side, her eyes closed. She murmured something soft under her breath, in the middle of a thick exhale. “Harder…” Izuku sped up, thumping against her, the sounds of skin on skin pattering away. He leaned forward, supporting himself on his arms, planted around her shoulders. She let out a long, low moan, pushing back on him. “Harder.” Her breathing was louder now, intermixed with moans and the sounds of the bed around them. With one hand, she was reaching between her legs, the jack between her fingers. Izuku felt the vibration, almost intrusively, of her heartbeat through her as she sawed away at her clitoris. She curled her other hand around Izuku’s neck and held him as close to her as she could, her back curving a spectacular arch. “Harder!” Kyouka came like shattering glass, sharp, like her whole body breaking and reforming underneath him, her mouth open and fixed in a heady snarl. It was a supreme fulmination that left her limp and panting, and Izuku felt her skinny, boyish body with an intense clarity as it set off his own orgasm as well. Instantly, there was a crackle at his arms, and he nearly collapsed on top of her, breathing heavily, his muscles feeling pliable as rubber. Kyouka twitched a little as he pulled out, sweat from his forehead dripping on the small of her back. Izuku saw it, within a little flash that went sparking across Kyouka’s expression as she rolled over; a bright, curious shock, vulnerable, almost timid, where her brow loosened and her fierce-looking eyes grew watery and wide. “Whoa, what the fuck? Did I…” She felt between her legs, and Izuku was suddenly aware of a nebula of wetness covering his crotch, running down to a damp spot on the bed. Kyouka’s eyes trained from Izuku and back to the bed, and she felt it with an investigatory hand. “…did I squirt?” She looked at him with an expression of wondrous exhilaration as he was trying to catch his breath. “I’ve never done that before. That’s… kinda cool.” But, before long, a weird paranoia crossed her face against her naked feelings of flustered amazement. “You cannot tell Mina about this.” “I w-won’t, I promise.” A wave of exhaustion suddenly spread through her as the adrenaline eked out of her system, and she toppled sideways onto the bed with a soft fwump. “Man, I’m so glad you’re not an asshole, Izuku.” ***** Upon the Topic of Unmemorability ***** Kyouka emerged from the bedroom leading Izuku by the hand, having toweled off the sweat and girlcum from her legs. The common room’s communal feeling was quiet now, having loosened from a spun-tight, libidinous carnival into a simple, quiet confederation; Momo, studying on the couch along with Tsuyu, laying upside down and playing video games, the sounds of burbling water coming from the bathroom. Kyouka sat down on Momo’s opposite side, and the latter turned to face her with her characteristic glance, somewhere between passive and quizzical. “So? How was it?” Momo asked, the tinge of excitement showing through on the edges of her words. “You were lively towards the end.” Looking over at Izuku, who was drinking a glass of water by the fridge and remedying a kink in his neck, Kyouka struck an appraising face. “He’s really grounding. It was fun. He listens to you, I think that was the most valuable part. Oh, and he’s surprisingly strong when it counts,” she finished, breaking a smile while still feeling the residual quivers in her hips, and the weight of most of his body on top of her. Momo was also looking over at him. From a distance, Izuku really didn’t look like much, being short, skinny, befreckled, and as painfully shy as he was, even when attempting to look natural while drinking a glass of water. The longer Kyouka gazed over him, the more she came to associate all the aspects of Izuku’s person with him just as another member of her friend group, the same way Tooru was upbeat, or Mina was impulsive. “I advised him not to share with Mina how flustered you can get sometimes,” Momo said, looking benign. “I hope he got to see it at least once.” “No comment. More importantly, you made up your mind yet?” Momo sighed a little, and turned a page, her attention bouncing elsewhere in the room. “I think I’ll go through with it. I’m here, I’m curious… I should.” “I know you’re stressed out because you’re comparing yourself to everybody else, but just think about what Occhan said.” “Yeah.” Momo closed her book, in a capitulating way. “It’s just… it doesn’t feel as simple as that.” “You don’t have to be good at sex to like, just have fun. You should be thinking more about yourself and figuring out how you tick.” “You have to be good at sex to not be forgettable,” Momo said, an ominous, anxious tone behind her voice. Kyouka scooted a little closer to Momo and hugged her around the midsection. “Hey. Izuku-kun’s not gonna forget about this night, and that’s something I could probably bet money on. And, I mean, I’m not gonna forget that you were here, outside, probably listening to me fuck.” Momo smiled warmly. Kyouka continued. “I think everybody who came over for the sleepover contributed in making this night unforgettable. I have faith in you. You’re like, my best friend.” “Thank you,” Momo said softly, feeling Kyouka’s arm locked around her and squeezing affectionately. She took a gamut of soothing breaths, feeling the soft warmth of Kyouka’s arms seeping into her skin. “H-hey, M-Momo-chan?” It was Izuku, attempting to get her attention as casually as he could. Momo put her book aside and rose to her feet, her nightgown fluttering at the hem. “Shall we?” It was Izuku who offered out a hand to Momo, to guide her softly through the bedroom door. Before she disappeared from view, she turned to Kyouka. “Kyouka-chan?” “Yeah?” “Since I listened to you, could you… um… could you l-listen to me?” Kyouka had that look, somewhere between exhaustion and simple surprise. “Sure, Momo-chan.” The door to the bedroom closed softly. With it, the netherworld inside that room was sealed off. Inside that room, where Kyouka had let that cute, short, freckle-faced boy feel her inside and out, she had emerged feeling more close to her friends than she ever had. If she never slept, the night would never end. “Hey Tsu-chan, whatcha up to?” “Playin’ Spirit Clash III. How about you?” “Wiped. Can I cuddle you for a bit?” “Please do.” ***** Purple + Clear ***** Mina could see the outline of Tooru’s body in the steady wash of water, ghostly and ethereal, and they came together without words at all, tasting every inch of the other’s body within the constant, cleansing deluge of warmth. They were kissing, with locked tongues, squeezing each other’s shoulders, breasts, and hips. Tooru led Mina gently to her chest, letting her teeth drag across her nipples, on the cusp of constant moaning as Mina sank lower and lower, navigating the topography of her body with her nose and tongue, burying her face between her thighs and sliding her tongue inside her. With her fingers in Mina’s tousled hair, stuck wet around her face, Tooru was stuck up against the wall, one hand over her mouth, trying not to scream in ecstasy. When Tooru came, it was white-hot wires, a slow, rolling tide saturated in energy that made her feel for a moment as if she were swimming. They traded places when Tooru regained her senses. Mina was bent over and Tooru was licking her from behind, both hands on her ass, lapping with long strokes, all the while as water ran down and around the curves of Mina’s body, dribbling and running into Tooru’s eyes. Tooru drank from Mina’s body as if she were drinking dew from a cupped leaf, and not once was there any moment where Mina was surprised or taken off guard. When Mina came, it was a riptide from her toes up that turned her legs inward, letting the water stream off of her face, dripping from her nose and cheeks. When she leaned her head back in simple nubilous afterglow, letting her indistinct bliss ring in her ears, Tooru was holding her, hands trussing her from falling. Tooru bore no burns. It was like Mina had been baptized in the breath of a storm. Fingers between each other’s legs, pressing one another’s buttons, they kept going even after their orgasms had subsided to a dull roar in their eardrums until slowing to a drip, holding each other’s bodies under the stream. Tooru pressed her lips to Mina’s forehead and left a kiss there, and they sat in a stupefied, dreamlike haze before moving, or doing anything further. Eventually, they transitioned, cleanly, into washing themselves and each other, lathering soap onto each other’s backs, paying attention to each other’s legs and breasts. The thick steam of the shower was perfumed by the smell of shampoo and conditioner and body wash, and when they emerged from the shower, almost fifteen minutes into Momo’s turn, they had been bathed and turned inside out by steam augury, having seen and felt it within each other’s chests. It was simple ecstasy through and though. Tooru nuzzled the back of Mina’s neck and hummed a little orison to herself, as Mina paused with her hand gripping the knob. ***** A Start and a Finish ***** All of the girls in 1-A were cute, Izuku thought. That was a given. But Momo was beautiful. Tall, buxom, with a curtain of glossy black hair done in a loose ponytail and slung over one shoulder, she was so pretty it was almost intimidating. He felt like he was going to burst into a cold sweat just being too near to her, forcing himself into a kind of rigorlike stillness when she walked over and set herself down next to him. She looked demure and soft in her midnight-blue nightgown, and her face was so pink he could clearly see it, even in the tinted blue of the moonlight coming through the window. “H-hey.” It was all she managed before turning away in embarrassment. “Hey,” Izuku responded. For the first time tonight, he felt like his nervousness was outstripped in strides by his partner, who looked fidgety and fit to burst. “D-do you wanna kiss, or something?” Izuku wanted to die, not knowing what to say, or how to alleviate any of her anxiety. She turned back toward him, but kept her eyes angled away, toward the floor. “Could—could you close your eyes?” He obliged her, and felt a light kiss on his lips. When he opened them, she was looking at his face, so closely. Her face, her eyes, they all came together for a picture of oddly fierce features, stunning and otherworldly beautiful. “Momo-chan, you’re really pretty.” The words came out almost without him thinking, and at this, Momo turned away, her lip curling a little. “I know.” “H-huh?” Her voice was resentful. “I’m just pretty. I can’t really do anything. Tooru- chan and Mina-chan both, they’re so outgoing and happy. Kyouka-chan’s so witty and composed. Ochako-chan is so sweet to be around. Tsuyu-chan’s so intense, and just so… herself. I’m not really anybody. I feel like the only thing I can be is pretty.” She was looking away, staring furiously at the floor. Izuku shifted a little closer to her and put a hand lightly on her shoulder. “That’s not true. You have a really awesome Quirk, and you’re super intelligent. I think everybody in class is pretty much in awe of you and your abilities.” “I wish I could believe that. I wish Kaminari-kun and Mineta-kun would treat me like a normal person.” “Kaminari’s kind of an idiot, and… Mineta is just a garbage person. But c'mon, I think Kyouka-chan thinks really highly of you, though.” “Kyouka-chan’s so wonderful. She’s my best friend. She basically dragged me to this sleepover. I don’t know what I would do without her.” “Momo-chan, you look r-really uncomfortable. We don’t have to do anything, honest.” She shook her head a little. “Well, I was excited, in a sense, for just all the… rebelliousness of the night, b-but I can’t say I haven’t been dreading my turn with you. It’s, um, not your f-fault, just, Mina-chan kept talking about how this was an ‘exercise’ and in my mind, I can’t associate that with anything other than, um, an exam. B-but it’s not really an exam I can s-study for. I can’t feel anything other than, I don’t know, useless. Just a pretty face…” “It’s not an exam. I mean, it’s not something you can get graded on. It’s more important, um, just to like have fun.” Izuku chuckled a little, softly, mostly to himself, but stopped when he glimpsed Momo’s aghast expression.“I-I’m sorry, Momo-chan. Um, it’s just, Kyouka-chan and I, w-we had a similar conversation because she was so nervous. I think, you guys are r-really alike and it makes sense why you’re such good friends.” At the mention of this, Momo looked up, her eyes a little watery. She seemed halted, almost on the verge of tears. “I think, um, and this is j-just a thought,” Izuku stumbled, “that m-maybe when you’re having moments when you feel like, you’re not good enough, you should think about Kyouka-chan and how wonderful and cool you think she is. B-because, um, you’re just as cool as her. I promise you that you are.” “Really?” Momo’s eyes lightened. “I might disagree with you on that last part, but that means a lot to me.” “Besides, I think the way you act in exercises is really really cool, M-Momo- chan. I think you’re a born leader, even if you doubt yourself a little.” Something in Momo’s chest gave a little start at Izuku’s comment, and she felt herself glowing golden at his compliment. Her eyes flitted away, their gaze bouncing around the room. “Um, w-w-well, exercises are clear-cut and have objectives, parameters, a start and a finish. Nothing that I’ve ever heard about s-sex ever talked about it like that.” “Why not?” Izuku said, and after a deep, exhaling breath, he continued, “you could just tell me what you want from me.” “B-but is that… what you want?” He repeated his deep breath, filling up and emptying his chest, letting the blood flow around his face. He leaned in, looking right into her eyes, feeling steadfast in his conversation with her. “Momo-chan, I want you to t-take charge of me and tell me exactly what you want me to do.” “Take… charge…?” Momo looked down at him, her look a mix of frenzied excitement and catastrophic embarassment. “G-give orders?” “Yeah, exactly. I just wanna show you how cool I think you are.” Izuku gave her a little smile, and Momo felt like she might burst into tears. “I mean, I really don’t want you to do anything you don’t feel like doing, so you, um, should call the shots. And I trust you to not put me in any situation that I can’t do.” “Okay,” Momo said through several deep breaths and a steely expression. “I don’t know if I want you to f-f-fuck me, but…” She had to say the word ‘fuck’ with closed eyes and a red-ribboned face. “…I do think I w-want to have f-fun with you, Izuku-kun.” She closed her eyes. There was a little bluish-pink flash as she used her Quirk to materialize a length of rope, winding out of the palm of her hand. “Um, you s-said to make this cl-clear-cut. So, I thought maybe I’d add some parameters?” ***** Godspeed You! Purple Emperor ***** Mina and Tooru emerged from the bathroom, both enrobed, and holding hands. Tsuyu and Kyouka were still cuddling on the sofa, a jack running from Kyouka’s ear and plugged into the wall. Kyouka looked up, a little groggy, and saw Mina’s outstretched arm grasping what she could only conceive was Tooru’s. “Momo and Izuku are still going, but their turn’ll be over soon if you need to get into the bedroom.” Mina nodded, absentmindedly. Kyouka detached herself from the wall, and extricated herself from around the soft sofa and Tsuyu’s frame, coming to her feet. “I had kind of a revelation with Izuku. I just wanna say,” Kyouka came face to face with Mina, and hugged her with both arms, squeezing her tight, taking care not to undo the towel covering her. “I’m really glad I’m friends with you. Sorry I’m so difficult all the time.” “You’re not difficult,” said Mina, squeezing back. “You’re just Kyouka-chan, and you’re wonderful.” “I love you a bunch. I really admire just like, everything about you.” “I love you too. You’re so cool, and punk, and smart, and funny.” Kyouka laughed. “Thanks.” When she withdrew from her embrace, she saw Mina’s eyes were a little wet. She took her seat, next to Tsuyu again. “So? You guys were in there for a while.” Mina’s lip quivered a little. “Um, yeah.” A million questions were swirling in her head, asking if Kyouka would judge her, if Tsuyu would judge her, but she couldn’t fit word to word enough to make a sentence, and they stood there for a bit. She was grounded a little by Tooru’s remarking squeeze around the edges of her hand, wonderful, warm and trusting. “You looked really happy. Like, when you came out of the bathroom.” “So, you guys gonna tell us how it was?” Tsuyu prodded, her tone exploratory. Mina bit her lip in expectation of stress. “It was… really amazing.” Tooru was wiggling, squeezing onto one of Mina’s arms. “It was, like, magical. Mina’s so hot.” The purple-skinned girl managed a flushed little smile, but her stress was tenebrous, overpowering. “Look, um, you guys won’t tell anybody about us, right?” Mina asked. Tsuyu looked up from her DS, meeting Mina’s gaze. “Of course not,” Kyouka said. “No way,” said Tsuyu. “No more than I’d tell anybody about anything else that’s happened here tonight.” “Um… do you guys, like, swear you won’t tell anybody?” “If you want, I can tell you about something really embarrassing that happened to me when I was with Izuku,” offered Kyouka. “Then we’ll be on even terms.” The stressful, scared factor apparent in Mina’s eyes flashed away a little, replaced by her characteristic gossipy nature. “I think that sounds like a fair trade.” Kyouka exhaled to calm herself a little. “Um, so when Izuku was fucking me, he was going really hard towards the end—” “That’s an understatement,” Tsuyu added. “You were like, screaming. The whole bed was shaking.” “Okay, fine. So towards the end, when Izuku was, like, railing me, I had my hand on my clit, and um, I kinda came so hard I squirted.” A feeling of simple, snickering embarrassment ran through Kyouka, who was shaking ever so slightly. For Tsuyu, Tooru, and Mina, the feeling was enrapturing, less a tool by which to deal social damage and more something to deepen their sisterly wonder at the goings-on of the night. It felt like a first. There was a moment of odd silence, strange given that everyone's face immediately unfurled into the same wondrous expression. “Whoa,” Tooru marveled. “Did you leave a puddle?” “That’s actually really hot, kyu~,” Tsuyu said, her face alight. Mina burst out laughing, almost doubled over. She gave a wide grin, clearly delighted with that information. “Okay, that’s pretty good. Deal. I trust you.” “Sooooooo, who’s gonna end up spilling the beans to the rest of the class?” Tsuyu asked. “For maximum dramatic effect, it should probably be Kyouka-chan who turns on us.” “Yeah, lemme just grab my phone and text Kaminari-kun about the orgy that’s been happening at Mina’s place.” Kyouka got back on the sofa and resumed her cuddle with Tsuyu. “That joke falls a little short when you consider that Kyouka-chan’s actually been texting Kaminari-chan all evening,” said Tsuyu, not looking away from her DS. “Ugh, yeah, against my better judgment, I’ve been doing that.” “Really?” asked Mina. “So, whatcha guys been talking about? Anything fun?” “Nah, just like… I dunno, mostly music.” Kyouka gave a little shrug. “It’s kinda what we do on the weekends. He asked me for recommendations one Friday, and we’ve been talking ever since. He keeps trying to get me to go out and get coffee with him, and I keep deflecting. I can’t tell if he has a thing for me, or what.” “Oh my god, Kyouka. Seriously?” “He and I like a lot of the same bands,” said Kyouka defensively. “Besides, I have this weird theory that he’s like, actually a nice, compassionate person behind all the…” “'Poonhounding?'” “Yeah, Tsu-chan, wasn’t gonna use that word, but sure.” “At least we confirmed that there’s one nice boy who can be rough if you want. And speaking of which, sucks you didn’t get to hear Izuku-chan just, like, taking Kyouka-chan to church,” Tsuyu giggled. Kyouka cuddled Tsuyu a little harder, her skinny arms fitting snugly under her breasts. “That expression, Tsu-chan, is fucking sinister, as someone who went to church as a child.” “I didn’t! I missed it,” whined Mina. “I was like, teasing you so much about it over dinner. How rough was he?” “Totally as rough as I needed. I might go sit on an icepack for like, five minutes.” “Man, this place really turned into a circus over the last like, half hour,” said Tsuyu. “Kyouka-chan was getting pounded in the bedroom, you and Tooru-chan fucking in the shower… I half expect to find that Occhan’s been touching herself on the balcony.” “So, since I missed your show with Izuku, should we get Kaminari-kun to come over next?” Mina taunted. “I didn’t realize you’d been giving him blue balls this whole time! He probably, like, desperately wants to fuck you. He’d probably do literally anything you wanted.” Kyouka sat up and stretched, yawning softly. “Let’s finish up the debacle with Izuku first, Mina-chan. And speaking of which…” Kyouka proffered, delicately enough, plugging into the wall again and spooling out her other jack to wriggle in front of Mina’s face. And, naturally enough, Mina took it. ***** "If I Need Something, I'll Just Invent It!" ***** Izuku was kneeling on the floor, naked, with both hands tied behind his back. With Momo’s considerable height, she was towering over him even when sitting down on the edge of the bed. When she crossed her legs, the light caught the gloss on the black nylon stockings she had created for herself. Momo had happily elucidated that one of her favorite romance novels involved some combination of black stockings and a man being given orders in between shivers of excitement. “Should we get started?” “Oh, wait,” Izuku said. “Um, if I ask you to stop, would you stop?” “Oh! You’re right. Yes, of course I’ll stop.” Izuku nodded, glad to have convinced her to take the initiative. “Then let’s get started.” “Um…I think you should kiss my feet,” Momo said, softly and without much presence to begin. Izuku bent over and did so. Momo moved her foot around, giggling, while Izuku ran his face over and around the topography of her feet, which seemed so elegant and stately in the soft moonlight and with Momo’s continued, almost statuesque beauty. “Mm… that tickles. Kiss my thighs next,” Momo purred. Izuku moved up, tracing with his nose and lips, each kiss ending with a silver-tinged smack of his lips, Momo mockingly gasping at Izuku’s forwardness. “Mm! You’re so cute, Izuku-kun. Kiss me through my nightgown next.” With his face mushed into her stomach, the soft nightgown filling his nostrils and mouth, and his nose filled with the smell of her sweat. They played simon- says like this for a while, Izuku groveling at her stockinged feet, running his tongue along the seams, along the inside of her thighs, and she quivered, but kept up her passionate stare. Momo had his bound presence in the palm of her hand, teasing him incessantly with fingertips on his neck and sternum, stopping her strokes below his bellybutton with a measure of cold-blooded control. “You’ve been such a good toy, Izuku-kun. As a reward, you get to kiss me on the lips.” “Th-thank you, Momo-ch—Momo-sama,” Izuku improvised at the last moment, which brought a smile to Momo’s lips. “So polite! Come here and take what you’re owed.” When their lips met, it wasn’t like before, where Momo had been too shy to open her mouth. There was full contact, her breath hot in his mouth, her tongue moving softly and gently around his. It was something indelible and erotic in the way she moved, one hand guiding his chin, posing it in place. She was breathing heavily, the fierceness having left her eyes and instead relocated to her actions, the movements of her hands and how she held her shoulders, and she removed her hand from his chin to pull her nightgown off the top of her head, her magnificent hair brought up in a whirl and falling back down, majestic as a regal crown. Izuku stared at her chest, somewhat taken aback by how intensely beautiful she was. “Izuku… suck on my breasts.” Her nipples were small and pink, and her breasts somewhat firm for their size. Momo immediately responded, tensing a little. She shifted her legs, and Izuku felt a sensation on his cock. He stopped, abruptly, and looked down to see one foot petting him, moving up and down the shaft slowly. It was Momo’s voice that brought him back to the task at hand. “Don’t stop.” She was working his cock between her toes, the soft nylon pressing and sticking to the bare skin, her movements controlled and calculated, each stroke yielding him harder and harder. The slow trickle of stimulus, to Izuku, was oddly heavenly as he kept away, manipulating her nipple between his teeth and tongue, sucking it into his mouth, drool running down his chin. Momo was quivering, her breath heavy, and she ran her fingers through his hair, gathering a loose handful on a grip on his head. With her other hand, she felt her other breast, running her nails over her nipple, squeezing with a full hand. “Mm… ah! Izukuuuu!” There was a sudden, tensing wave going through her body, bouncing off of her curves and reverberating through her muscles, and she gave a slight shudder that seemed to emanate softly in the tips of her fingers and breasts, then a pleasure-laced breath. She stroked his head, running her nails across his scalp. “J-jeez.” “Did you just come?” “Y-yeah. I’m, um, pretty sensitive.” "Oh." Momo looked a little embarrassed, her face pink again. It took a bit for her to regain her proper dominatrix attitude, and she shook her head, grasping her leaderlike fortitude after a sharp spell, and started up again. “Stay still. You don’t get to make a sound.” She was behind him, crouched down around him, feeling and ruffling his hair capriciously. Izuku felt her lips on the back of his neck, leaving slow, soft kisses, gradually progressing into little nips by the sharp edges of her teeth. Her breasts pressed into his back while she ran her nails down the front of his pecs. Izuku felt a moan slip out of his mouth as she sucked on his neck, feeling the flat, nebulous laps of her wet tongue within the recesses of her bite. She spoke into his ear, her tone low and dangerous. “No moaning. Only speak when you’re spoken to.” She had one hand around his cock, pumping with her wrist. “Did I make you this hard?” “Y-yes.” “Should I let you come?” “Yes,” he said, pleadingly. It was maddening to not be able to moan. “Yes what?” “Yes p-please.” The sensation was almost painful for how hard he was, and she was speeding up, bit by bit, twisting her hand on his shaft lightly. He was screaming inside his head. Everything she was doing was pushing him farther and farther toward the edge, and Izuku could tell she was enjoying herself, savoring every moment. “Yes please what? What’s my name?” “Yes please, Momo-sama,” Izuku was moving his hips now, as she was stroking him. There was a soft knock at the door. “Momo-chan! Your time’s up,” came Tsuyu’s voice, low and raspy, through from the other side. Momo stopped in response, lightly removing her hand and replacing it on the floor to steady herself, the magic of the moment dispelled somewhat. Her reflex was as mechanical as if a teacher had called for pencils down after a quiz. “Oh.” She looked down at Izuku, whose dick was twitching in silent protest. Izuku was panting. “Um, it’s okay, Momo-chan. I’ve kinda come enough for today. I’m starting to feel a little deadened, to be honest.” “Oh, well, alright.” The room was back to the same awkward liminality that they had managed to circumvent. In a sense, the feeling that they were classmates bled back into the bedroom, making it more stilted. Momo, with a flushed face, put her nightgown back on, and, barely looking at Izuku, asked him the oddest possible question. “Izuku-kun, do you mind if I… um… take a souvenir?” “A what?” “Um, something to remember you by.” “I’m, um, n-not sure I understand, b-but okay.” Momo knelt down with her face almost touching and put one hand around his dick, which was still engorged, and felt it from multiple angles, looking over it and analyzing it. Withdrawing her hand, she touched a finger to her forearm, and the same familiar bluish-pink zap of her Quirk occurred. After the flash, and his vision corrected, he saw she was holding a glass replica of his penis, complete with a complement of veins and texture along the shaft, a simulacrum of intense detail. Momo kissed him on the cheek, and Izuku was speechless. “You were my first toy.” She got to her feet and bounded out the bedroom, before Izuku could come to his senses, or say anything. ***** I Hereby Award You the Title of Big Boss ***** It wasn’t long after Tsuyu knocked on the door that Momo burst out of the room, clearly ringing with external and internal excitement. “Momo-chan,” said Kyouka breathlessly, still crouched by the wall, having just unplugged. Momo looked elated in body and spirit, her manner almost aggressively girlish, and she beamed widely. “Izuku-kun is so cute,” she said, in a singsong voice, beaming. “I had so much fun.” “You sounded so confident!” Mina said. She looked her up and down. “Wait, have you been wearing nylons all night?” “What are you holding?” asked Tsuyu. “Um,” said Momo, and she proffered it to Tsuyu, whose wide eyes grew wider with delight. “Momo-chan,” said Tsuyu, “you should ask Mina-chan and Tooru-chan what they did in the shower together.” Momo’s face turned pink, and she immediately launched into an inquisitorial barrage of questions for Mina and Tooru, mostly centered on and around the content of “forbidden love” she’d gleaned from forays in and out of pornographic novels, and Tooru happily sharing every detail, hanging on Mina’s side doting, while Mina blushed and smiled. Meanwhile, and wholly unforgotten, Ochako had wandered back into the common room sleepily, just in time to catch the scintillating conversation between Momo and Mina and Tooru, with the latter two still draped in pink towels and holding hands and the former brandishing a glass dildo, and Tsuyu talking with Kyouka about squirting, and the mechanics of such. The icing on the cake, so to speak, was Izuku’s weak, unheeded voice coming from the open bedroom.“Momo- chan? Can you come untie me?” “How long was I asleep?” asked Ochako, more to herself than anyone else. The recharged and bizarrely interlocking dialogue occurring in the common room tugged at her, but she made a beeline into the bedroom to find a naked Izuku, bound with his wrists behind his back. “Ur-Uraraka-san!” He struggled to hide his still-halfmasted erection while she worked at the knot behind his back, blushing wildly. Ochako picked away at the tightly-woven material, her brain still groggy, tracing a little mental constellation between the tiny moles on Izuku’s back while she worked. “Hey Deku-kun. Did Kyouka tie you up?” “No, it was Momo-chan.” “Oh?” She managed to pull the rope through, and he freed his wrists, snatching his pair of boxers to put on. “So that means I’m supposed to be next, huh?” She yawned, her face a little pink. “Y-yeah.” He rushed unceremoniously off to the bathroom, half embarrassed at being rescued by Ochako and half terrified about his turn with her. Ochako set down on the bed, testing it with her hand, still in a kind of fugue state, fumbling around and feeling, almost as if she’d drop off again into the vast ocean of textures and smells beaten into the fabric and stuffing. The bed smelled like six different flavors of sweat coiled around one another, combined with the watery effervescence of lube and the dark notes of condom latex, forming a coarse rope of fragrance that stung at her nostrils. Her foot touched the ominous wet spot that Kyouka had left behind. Outside the bedroom, Kyouka had made another round of hot cocoa for everybody, and they were gathered around the table, talking with renewed vigor. Mina and Tooru had simply resigned to remaining naked in the common room, and no one else was objecting to it. When Izuku went zipping by in his drawers, everyone giggled. “So what do you think Occhan’s turn will be like?” asked Mina. Tooru squeezed her close. “Hmmm! Probably difficult to say.” “She’s the final boss,” said Momo, over a bright smile. “Just like, the toughest girl?” Tooru looked over at her. Momo perked up, her nightgown fluttering around her shoulders. “Oh, well, um, so, in reasoning, I’ve approached this whole night like an MMORPG,” Momo appended, taking a sip of cocoa. Everyone stared at her. “What?” Kyouka asked, quizzically. “You play MMOs?” Tsuyu asked, her tone enjoining and incredulous. “Um, well, I, um, I don't anymore, but I did in middle school!” “Are you serious?” “Yeah! They’re really good for learning how to direct others, and form tactics, and—” “What kind of virgin bullshi—” Kyouka snorted, to an argumentative gesticulation by Momo. “If you take this in the vein of MMORPG logic, which I feel is germane—” “What, we’re all like, different classes, or something?” asked Mina, trying to keep a straight face. “No, like, bosses. In, um, a raid.” Momo looked around, awaiting any disputing comments, before launching into an explanation. “So, raids are generally set up to get more difficult as you keep going, which, I feel is pretty adequately represented through, um, us, the gauntlet of girls that we entrusted Izuku-kun with. Right?” Everybody nodded, at different odd intervals, all following her, as Kyouka rolled her eyes, dramatically. “Well, Tooru was the gear check. Nothing too stressful, but still extremely important for making sure you’re at least up to the task of running. In a sense, making sure that Izuku-kun had what it took and wouldn’t, oh, collapse dead. Mina was ‘threat management.’ Tsuyu-chan is the DPS race, where you have to race to beat the boss before you get overwhelmed—“ “Um, what’s ‘DPS’?” asked Tooru. “’Damage-per-second,’” Tsuyu piped up, before Momo could respond. “Which he barely squeaked through, kyu~.” “Oh! Oh! Me next! What’s ‘threat’?” Mina had one hand thrust in the air, fidgeting so much her chest was bouncing. “What’s it sound like, Mina?” snickered Kyouka. “Kyouka was… the gimmick boss? I’m probably the, um, ‘nontraditional mechanics’ encounter.” “Fine, I’ll agree with that. My sex was gimmicky. But isn’t all sex gimmicky?” “Kyouka-chan, it’s not a judgment for how good you are at sex, it doesn’t matter. Momo-chan?” Tsuyu replied, squeaking the conversation along. “Continuing that thread of logic… Ochako-chan’s the final boss. Generally, final bosses are multi-stage encounters, a diverse combination of everything that comes before.” “See, you say this like you know exactly what’s in store for Izuku,” Kyouka said, a disbelieving smile on her face. “But c’mon, Momo-chan, we’re all real human beings with like, real thoughts and wants and desire and priorities. You can’t really reduce people like that, especially not involving an action that’s like, as emotional and physical as sex.” “Mm! You’re correct. The model is, like all models, imperfect on some level,” Momo said perfunctorily, blowing a waft of steam off of her cocoa. “But, you’re forgetting the most important element of Izuku-kun and Ochako-chan’s encounter, and with it, arguably the biggest obstacle to passing off their tryst as nothing more than something casual.” Momo’s words, as mechanical as they sounded, were oddly sagelike, curling and rousing like temple incense beyond her prophetic smile, amidst the attentive stares of the common room. “Which is? What is it??” Mina asked, wholly invested in her analogy. “He loves her,” Tsuyu replied simply. “Tsuyu-chan’s correct. But, that’s not the thing that makes their encounter difficult. It’s not that he loves her. It’s that he’s too scared to tell her.” Momo turned her cold, beautiful expression on the bathroom, and Izuku within. ***** The Great Tether, Pt. I & II ***** When Izuku emerged from the bathroom, having splashed his face with cold water and toweled himself dry, the common room was utterly quiet when five pairs of eyes, one invisible, tracked him across to the bedroom. Izuku paused with his hand on the knob, almost imperceptibly. “Izuku.” It was Tooru. “Yeah?” “Good luck.” Everybody else shared in the same look, a warm and soft smile, yet confident, all wishing him the courage on the same thing. The skinny, freckle-faced boy nodded shakily. Inside, Ochako was dozy again, still in her pink PJs. She sat up when the door opened, sleepily, and stretched her arms, letting her pajamas ride up, and exposing her stomach. “Hey, Deku-kun.” “Hey, Uraraka.” He sat down awkwardly beside her, and they had a little interim of not knowing what to say to one another. Ochako tugged at his arm. “Lay down with me?” Izuku obliged her. The two were sideways on the bed, and Ochako was staring into his eyes, which seemed watery and skittish. His heart was pounding in his ears, and he closed his eyes and swallowed forcefully to try and reset his brain. There was a little wet feeling on the end of his nose, and Izuku opened his eyes to find that Ochako had kissed him there. She cracked a wide smile. “Are you nervous, Deku-kun?” “Y-yeah.” “Tell me what you’re nervous about.” “Oh, um… e-everything.” She laughed softly. “That’s a lot to be nervous about, for sure.” “Are you nervous, Uraraka?” “No,” she said, the single syllable soft as a murmur. “R-really?” “Well, I think there’s a lot to be shy and embarrassed about. But I’m not nervous, because I trust you.” Izuku smiled, still in a haze of self-uncertainty, and nodded. “I trust you too, Uraraka.” “You can call me Occhan, if you want. Otherwise it feels like we’re in school.” “R-right. Okay.” “Wanna see something fun that I used to do as a kid?” “Yeah.” “Okay. You’re gonna have to hold me for it to work.” Izuku put his arms out unsteadily, and let Ochako worm her way into his embrace. He closed his arms, feeling the warmth of her skin through her pajamas, and the smell of her hair filling his nostrils. There was a warm, comforting presence to her, pressed against him. “Here. I can’t do it for very long, so hold me tight.” She put one hand on her chest and one hand on his, the backs of her hands almost touching with how close they were, and Izuku could feel the five little rubbery pads of her fingertips making contact with his skin. A chill went through his chest as she used her Quirk, and the two of them rose, weightless, off of the bed. They seemed to be rising, maybe a millimeter a second. Ochako tucked her head to his chest. "When I was little I'd just float myself above my bed for a bit when I was tired. If I do it too long I get queasy, but maybe a minute or two always helped me get my bearings. I never thought I'd get to share it with another person." “I’m so glad I’m here with you,” Izuku said impulsively, his voice almost without its quaver. "Me too," Ochaco giggled softly. "It's been a fun night." “It’s weird to think that, at around this time, if you hadn’t called me, I’d be reading forum posts and masturbating and falling asleep.” He held her close as they floated. “That doesn’t seem like a bad deal on its own, though,” mused Ochako. “I wouldn’t be up to much more. Watching action movies and eating ice cream and reading hero reports.” "Deku-kun?" "Yeah?" "You don't have to if you don't want, but can I kiss you, just once? Everybody else got to." Her eyes were galactic, sparkling with a thousand points of light, her hair floating on all ends, spread out around her head as if they were suspended in water. Their faces were so close, and moving ever closer, and when it seemed like they could come no closer, their noses nuzzling one another’s cheeks, their lips touched, and they shared their first kiss, floating, swirling in the night air, with a soft susurrus of energy traveling between their lips. When they separated, Ochako brought her hands together, and they fell back to the bed, the mattress issuing a soft thump. They shared a soft moment of tinkling laughter together, still close enough to feel one another's hands, their foreheads touching. She was a clumsy kisser, and the two kept going even under the yoke of gravity, slow and soporific, their bodies entwined, her tongue wet and probing in his mouth, moving and tracing along his teeth, tickling the underside of his tongue. Izuku could feel her pillowy breasts pressing into his chest, her pajamas soft and thin. Her grip around him softened and softened and they slowed, kissing more and more lightly, eventually slowing to a stop, just sharing the same space to breathe in. Izuku opened his eyes to see that Ochako had fallen asleep in his arms. He watched her, rosy-cheeked and slumbering, her shoulder rising and falling gracefully with the rhythm of her breath, until he felt the contagion of sleep creeping up on him, suddenly aware of how tired he was in his muscles and hips and fingers, the burst of energy from the drink Mina had given him long since depleted. He smiled, brushing a stray lock of hair out of her face, and carefully extricated himself from her slumbering embrace. Yawning a little, he rose to his feet and tiptoed to the door, opening it as softly as he could, and left the bedroom. * Izuku moved through the doorway backwards, closing it as softly as possible. When he turned, he came face to face with the rest of the cadre of girls. They stared at him, silent, until Kyouka started up. “So?” “Oh, um, she fell asleep,” Izuku said sheepishly. “I can’t really blame her, I’m tired too.” “Wow, Izuku, I didn’t think you were THAT bad,” Mina said, and Tsuyu snickered. “Did you get to say it to her?” “What?” “Um, that you love her?” Kyouka snarled through gritted teeth, her arms crossed. He shrugged happily. “Oh! Nope. Some other time.” “You sure are blasé about this, Izuku-chan,” said Tsuyu. “You were so nervous going in.” “Um, y-yeah. But we kissed and it was really nice and to be honest, it was all I really needed,” Izuku said. “I’ll get to tell her when I’m ready. There’s not really anything more to do, with her, being asleep. I’m too tired to be nervous anymore. Um, can I borrow a futon out here and sleep with you guys?” “You gotta be fucking kidding me,” Kyouka said slowly, her face in utter disbelief. “Oh my god, Izuku,” Mina said. “Get back in there.” “You should sleep with her!” suggested Tooru, forcefully. “You should fall asleep next to your beloved,” Momo said, her hands grasping her pink cheeks vivaciously. “Tsuyu-chan, tell him.” Tsuyu, at the head of the group, looked right into Izuku’s eyes. “Izuku-chan, you’ve had a long night with all of us, and it’s definitely been exhausting, and you can do whatever you want. But, I, and the rest of the girls, as your friends, would strongly advise sleeping in the same bed with Occhan. She deserves it, kyu~.” Momo chimed in. “Yes, she deserves it. I think you demonstrated that you were a trustworthy, patient, wonderful person to everybody in this apartment.” “Maybe a little awkward, but like, nothing that can’t be worked on,” Tooru added. “There’s definitely something between you two. If she deserves to sleep next to anybody, it’s you.” Tsuyu planted one flat, thick finger on Izuku’s chest with a light flourish. “Get back in there, for your sake.” Izuku made a nebulous motion past Tsuyu, and started to push his way through his welcoming party. “Look, I should—” “Mina-chan,” Momo ordered, imperiously. Mina cracked her knuckles. “Gotcha.” She grabbed Izuku by one arm, taking him by surprise, and yanked him back with considerable strength, as Tsuyu opened the door, and thrust him through the open doorway. “No, wait, I need to brush my teeth—” The door closed with a click, not loud enough to wake a mouse. Izuku stood there, stunned at how fast they had foisted him back, but quickly reconnoitered how tired he was again, and decided that he could stress about revealing his love for Ochako at a different time. When he climbed into Mina’s bed, he managed not to wake her. Ochako shifted in her sleep, a little smile on her face. She snuggled close to him, into his arms, and breathed out a little “De…ku…kun.” Izuku drifted off, her soft weight against him, content after a full night. It was the cold, still time of night, past the witching hour. He had dreams of weightlessness. ***** Serendipity ***** It was the wee hours of the morning, where the first light of the morning was piercing its way through the clouds and washing away the darkness bit by bit, when Ochako woke up. Outside, the crows were starting to sound off, their calls ringing in the air from up the road. It was ominous, even cacophonous, but it signaled the start of a new day, hailing in the cool, dewy air of the morning. She snuggled a little closer to Izuku’s chest, taking in the smell of his skin, still stuck with the sweat from physical exhaustion of the night past. He awoke soon after, rubbing his eyes and stretching, yawning loudly, his eyes coming to rest on Ochako, slowly to the point of serendipity. “Good morning.” “Good morning, Occhan.” She smiled and kissed his chest where her face was laying, beaming up at him. Her eyes continued to catch and scatter the light in brilliant ways, and her chestnut-brown hair was in full view of the sunlight, casting a brilliant and sun-dappled glow on her face. “How’d you sleep?” “Good,” he said, unoriginally, planting a kiss on her forehead, still somewhat wreathed in sleep. She giggled. “Um, Deku-kun?” “What’s up?” “You’re, um, poking me.” “Oh god, I’m s-sorry.” He made an effort to wrest himself away from being so close to Ochako, his morning wood uncomfortably swinging in his boxers. She kept her eyes on it the whole time, laughing as he pulled away. “Have a fun dream?” “No. I-I mean, I c-can’t remember. I mean, no, th-this is just how guys get in the m-morning.” “Relax, I’m just teasing.” They laid for a moment, and Izuku still was wrestling with his sleepiness, willing himself awake, but he could tell she was breathing a little faster than normal, one of her hands fidgeting on his abdomen, the kind of nervous reluctance bursting forth from curiosity and abashed shyness. It was less unrestrained and hormonal; just to explore. “Hey.” She tapped his chest lightly with a finger. “Can I, um, see it?” She had, of course, seen it several times over the course of the night previous, but each encounter was like seeing some wild specimen of animal cloistered away in zoo cages, to where she had a picture of what it looked like, a kind of theoretical example; when she pulled his boxers down, it was literally coming face to face with it. “It’s kinda cute looking,” she said, which, aside from its almost aggressive- looking hardness and comminatory twitching, was putting truth to words. She studied it from every angle before touching it, gingerly, putting an expeditious hand around it and stroking it slowly, eliciting an immediate response from Izuku. “Ah! Jeez, Occhan.” “Oh!” She took her hand off it. “Sorry! I should’ve asked before I did that.” “No, y-you’re okay. I trust you.” Izuku gave her a little smile. Ochako kept an eye on his face as she replaced her hand apprehensively, moving just the tips of her fingers around it. Slowly, she closed her fingers as softly as she could around it, and started to move her hand. “Um, does that feel nice?” “Yeah…” Ochako pumped her hand slowly, feeling the skin of the shaft, and looking up at Izuku’s face, taking in the plethora of expressions he pulled, with his mouth and tongue and eyes half-lidded. There was a thick, burning longing emanating from between her legs, her crotch almost instantly wet, her curiosity overpowering any and all residual anxiety she had been carrying. Bringing her face closer and closer to it, still keeping up the same pattern with her wrist, she suddenly gave it a prefatory lick across the head, causing Izuku to shudder visibly. When she had determined that it wasn’t poisonous, she put it in her mouth. The inside of her mouth was warm and wet, rubbing the head of his cock with the back of her tongue. Granted, it was basically already at maximum hardness and wasn’t going down, so Ochako was mostly just playing with it, for her own sake. Her technique sieved out into a slow, lengthy slurp with her lips and tongue, which she kept up for several minutes. She was still clumsy and the most virginal of the girls, genuine and vulnerable feeling, and none of it troubled Izuku. He was as happy as when he’d first met All Might, and since before his dreams had begun to spring into reality. He sat up. “Ochako, can I um, s-see you too?” She nodded shyly. Her striped black-and-white panties were hugging the curves of her butt when she removed her pajamas, slowly. They suited her, Izuku felt, the curves deflecting around her wide hips, showcasing how hourglass-shaped she was. He was kneeling on the floor just off the edge of the bed, with her sitting on the edge perpendicular. His hands were shaking a little when he took the edges of her underwear and pulled them off, Ochako assisting him by lifting her hips, revealing a triangle of brown hair, which she immediately covered with her hands. “Sorry—I’m not shaved,” she said, her face a little pink. “It’s okay, it doesn’t bother me,” he said, and slowly she removed her hands. He moved his face closer, close enough for the tip of his nose to touch the lips. Her smell was alight in his nose. She giggled a little. “Don’t stare, you’re embarrassing me.” He laughed softly too. Looking up at her, he asked, “Can I… um…” “Oh my god, Deku-kun, you’re already right there, you don’t have to ask.” He ran his lips over her labia, feeling her pubic hair tickling against his nose, breathing against her entrance, which was weeping a slow dribble of pearlescent wetness. Instinctively, he ran his tongue up and down her lips. She tasted ever so slightly sour, honeyed, her fragrance flooding his nostrils. “Ah! That feels really good…” She gasped when he pushed the tip of his tongue up and around, touching her clitoris, which, after last night’s crash course, he had cursory knowledge of locating. Her breathing heavy, she took off her shirt and ran her fingers through his hair, stroking his scalp softly as he went down on her. She leaned back, awkwardly, across the bed width-wise, her head nearly lolling off the other side, as he propped her thighs up on his shoulders and moved his tongue faster. She was moaning, looking at him affectionately, as he came up, looking at her, her chest rising and falling, her breasts large and soft, with puffy pink nipples. She put one hand on his face, her expression angelic and blissful. “Deku-kun, I think I'm rea—when did you come in!?” Her eyes were suddenly wide, looking past Izuku, and she suddenly shrieked in surprise and curled up, attempting to cover her breasts and crotch. Mina’s voice sliced through the air like a thrown hatchet. “Kyouka-chan wants to know if you guys want one or two eggs.” Izuku attempted to do so as well, unsuccessfully, and yanked up the covers after clambering onto the bed. Mina was standing, naked, in the doorway. She watched this double act for about thirty seconds, her black and yellow eyes still cracked with sleep. She yawned a little, rubbing her eyes. “What? M-Mina-chan??” Mina repeated her query, like a tired secretary. “For breakfast. Kyouka-chan’s making breakfast. She wants to know—” “Oh my god, Mina, get out!” Ochako said sharply. “It’s my bedroom,” Mina huffed. She crossed to the dresser and retrieved a pile of clean clothes, and got dressed in front of them, checking her face in the mirror, while Izuku and Ochako sat naked on the bed, awkwardly. “You c-could’ve kn-knocked first,” asked Ochako, her face pink and her eyes closed, her heart fluttering. “The door was literally open. Tooru opened it last night to get a crossbreeze. Did you guys not notice?” said Mina, hopping one leg, then the other through a fresh pair of panties. “We’ve been hearing you guys fuck for like, the past twenty minutes. Like, not even needing Kyouka to listen in.” A raspy “Hey, Occhan!” and a crass-sounding wolf whistle heralded Tsuyu’s and Kyouka’s voices through the open portal. Mina continued. “We assumed you guys were, like, just going with it, which, honestly? Total power move, Occhan.” She issued a breathy imitation of Ochako’s moaning voice, giggling a little. “’Ohh, Deku-kun…’” Ochako buried her face in the comforter, the tips of her ears pink. “Should I clear out and let you two finish? Because you guys were going, like, soooo slow. I was just trying to let you guys know that breakfast’ll probably be done soon. Cold eggs are just like, gross.” The couple on the bed looked at each other awkwardly. “It’s gonna be difficult to finish now, I think,” said Izuku. “Even better! You can come help clean up my apartment,” Mina said, animatedly, as she pulled on an ostentatious-looking yellow croptop, draping an extra set of clothes over her arm. “Oh, Tooru and I were gonna head down to Ikebukuro later today and do some shopping, there’s a thrift store she wants to check out there. You guys are welcome to, yanno, tag along.” Mina left as abruptly as she had come, and Ochako started giggling, almost out of maddened desperation. She calmed down quickly, though. Izuku squeezed her hand lovingly. “Maybe next time?” Izuku asked her. Ochako nodded vigorously, and kissed him on the cheek. The two sat next to one another for a bit, savoring each other's warmth, before pulling on something to cover themselves, and departing from the bedroom to rejoin the others. ***** Spit Sisters ***** To Ochako’s intense chagrin, Kyouka, Tooru and Tsuyu began clapping when she exited the bedroom, sufficiently clothed, to retrieve her bag. The common room had taken on a negative-space kind of feel, like the polar opposite of the sedate nature of the sleepover, where with the sunlight and breeze streaming in through the windows and the quietude of the girls, cleaning, amongst the sounds of the vacuum that Tsuyu was pushing, the orgy had bled away from the space itself, slipping into the cracks and escaping to find another hovel to inhabit. Izuku pulled on the clean shirt he’d packed, brushed his teeth, futzing with his hair the whole time. “So, uhh, Izu-kyun,” said Kyouka, bending over the stove and tossing whatever leftover vegetables into a mound of fluffy, yellow-white egg, “you good for this next weekend?” Everyone giggled. “We should really look into doing this in a love hotel,” Mina said. “If we keep doing this here, I bet my neighbors will think that I like, started a cult or something.” “That’s a pretty good idea,” Tooru added. “How much do love hotels cost?” “The cheap ones are what, six thousand to stay the night? Each of us can chip in a thousand, and like, Izuku wouldn’t have to pay anything, because he’s doing most of the work.” “Where would we sleep? I don’t think love hotel beds are that big.” “We can bring bedrolls. It’ll be like camping,” laughed Tsuyu. “Kyouka brings up a good point. We should get another boy,” said Mina. “I mean, if Izuku’s cool with giving up half the labor.” “I’ll probably get better at pacing myself with time,” said Izuku. “Yeah, that’s the spirit!” said Tooru. She squeezed his shoulder briskly as she went past. “While I think that it’d be nice to have a second body around,” said Momo, “I think it’ll be difficult to find another boy who’s as obedi—um, as good as Izuku.” She smiled at Izuku, her face a little pink. “Yeah, we need somebody who’s not gonna just brag to every other boy in the class. Is dating against the code of conduct for U.A. students?” Kyouka asked Momo. “Not officially, but it's frowned upon.  I think the reasoning is that it causes issues with practical exercises. Better to err on the side of caution.” “Right, so, let’s like, keep all this under wraps at school,” Mina proclaimed, as if that wasn’t the default attitude of the group to begin with. “Oh, Ochako-chan,” Momo said softly, “to be honest, you have way more claim to stop this… arrangement… than I think anyone else does. Except, of course, for Izuku-kun himself.” Ochako smiled weakly, too shaken from being surprised earlier to actually blush. “Um, why do I…? No, I have siblings, and I’m used to sharing.” “Perfect,” said Mina. “Izuku, could you grab the comforter off my bed? I need to like, wash it pretty thoroughly today.” “Sure,” said Izuku, glad to be of some use. “School’s an interesting topic,” Tsuyu apprised. “Each of us could get him for a different day, and we would keep this going without needing to crowd up Mina- chan’s apartment.” “And on the seventh day, Deku-kun should rest,” said Ochako. Mina tapped her chin thoughtfully. “What, like everybody gets designated a day? That could work, I guess.” “Oh, but that’s not fair! Then one girl gets him for Saturdays every week,” said Tooru. “What if we did a rolling schedule? You may be Saturday some week, then the next you’re Friday, then Thursday, et cetera,” Momo offered. “I think, really, the main issue is we run the risk of killing him if this goes on for a full week. Besides, he has like, his own stuff to do most of the time. Right, Izuku?” Kyouka said. Izuku almost answered “no,” given that he did somewhat waste a lot of his quotidian time on comics and hero worship, but restrained himself. “Y-yeah. Where do you want me to put the comforter, Mina-chan?” he asked her, both arms clasped around the puffy bed topper. “If you could stuff it in the hamper that’d be wonderful! Thanks.” “Come to think of it, we should all be on birth control if we’re going to commit to this,” said Tsuyu. “Oh gosh, I need to head to the pharmacy today and get morning-afters,” Tooru fretted. “Izuku and I didn’t use a condom.” “Don’t worry, Tooru. We’ll get to it today, I’ll go with you,” said Mina, comfortingly. “Are you two dating now?” asked Momo. Mina opened her mouth to retort, then closed it, visibly deep in thought. “Probably!” Tooru answered, brightly. Tsuyu poked Momo in the side, playfully. “Does it matter? We’re all spit sisters anyways,” “Hey, food’s ready. Who all wants coffee?” They took a break from cleaning, most of it basically finished, to eat breakfast, crowded around the table in the common room. Over the warm smells of coffee, warmed-up rice, cream, and eggs, they had a mostly quiet meal. “Do you guys wanna figure out like, a group activity that we can do when we’re together?” asked Ochako. “Didn’t we spend all night doing Izuku?” “God, Tsu-chan, I think she means like, something to do when we’re not having sex,” said Kyouka. “We could watch a movie or something?” suggested Ochako. “That seems kinda awkward to do with people flitting in and out, kyu~.” “We could start running, or do extra exercise. Wait, the sex itself is like, pretty good exercise. Scratch that,” said Tooru. “You all could join my guild in Phantasm Wars Online,” Momo piped up, which was more or less immediately vetoed. “Barring that, we could study when we’re all together,” Momo tried, a little flaccidly. “Momo-chan, are you serious?” Mina laughed, doubled over. Momo sniffed haughtily. “Well, if you didn’t like my suggestion, you could’ve just said no.” Mina picked rice out of her teeth. “How about playing dress-up? Make a list of cute outfits, then fuck in them?” “For Izuku, or for us?” asked Tsuyu. “For, like, whoever.” “Maybe a little too expensive as a hobby, but I’m all for sharing clothes. Unless we get Momo to make everything, which seems a little tiring for her,” said Ochako. “You guys wanna start a band?” Kyouka inquired, facetiously. “Or at least just listen to music.” They were all silent in thought for a minute or so, racking their brains for options. “I think we should just do whatever we normally do by ourselves to pass time. We get along pretty well on our own,” Ochako finally concluded, a little unsteadily. “So, just, hang out,” Tsuyu appended. “Yeah.” It was amazing to watch this conversation eddy around Izuku, who was laying on the floor, daydreaming, that he could say nothing and still feel as immutable a pillar of this friend group, to which he had no ingress twenty-four hours prior. It was a testament to the girls of 1-A. After a while, their conversation stopped and they joined him in a pile on the floor, staring at the ceiling, lazing, dozing, breathing together. Ochako gave him a kiss on the cheek and whispered something in his ear. The sunbeam coming in the balcony door struck him like a spotlight, pouring a steady dripping of light into his chest and spreading out to engulf all them seven. Tooru touched Mina’s lips with one outstretched finger. It had felt less like a sleepover and more like the start of the rest of her life. It was summer. The nights would get warmer soon. ***** Epilogue ***** Over the succeeding weeks, the first-year boys of the hero class of U.A. began to notice a marked difference in the actions and behaviors of the six girls of their class. It started small, as these things did, and became gradually more and more recognizable, like Hagakure Tooru’s omnipresent peppiness culminating in a willingness to physically cling to those classmates in her general vicinity, especially Ashido Mina, whose presence became even more fierce and formidable during practical exercises, a kind of goofy haphazard nature overtaking her interactions with those around her. Jirou Kyouka, who normally didn’t have a great deal to do with many of the boys, openly started a conversation with Midoriya Izuku which contained such cryptic fragments and half-truths as concerning the nature of “the weekend,” or “this weekend,” or “next weekend.” And to speak of Midoriya Izuku, Asui Tsuyu had assumed a tendency to grab Midoriya and disappear during the lunch hour or before school for little spates of time peppering the week, returning him to his earlier junction looking flush-faced and noticeably ruffled. Past this, there seemed to be some kind of grand collusion between all six of the girls, who had become much closer; many walled-off, somewhat isolationist conversations occurring girls-only. There was an across-the-board increase in huddled dialogues and whisperings in ears. Some of Yaoyorozu’s reflective haughtiness had crumbled away; she was a lot more talkative and giggly alongside Jirou, and this behavior didn’t seem to totally transfer to the boys. And then, of course, there were the unexplained events that none of the boys could touch upon with any degree of explanation. Mineta swore up and down, on every gravestone of every extended family member he could cerebrally check off, that he thought he saw Hagakure and Ashido ‘totally making out in the girl’s bathroom’ one Wednesday nigh on fifth period, refusing to answer as to why or how he managed to be in said bathroom at said time on said date, and, even given that everybody knew Mineta had a tendency to spread lurid rumors for basically no reason anyways, the phantasmal image of that mythical excursion was kept floating below the surface of several boys’ minds for days at a time, yet it made no waves in the grand scheme of goings-on at U.A. This existed in opposition to the day when Midoriya came to class one morning to find an enigmatic green gift wrapped with a soft white ribbon stuffed in his shoes locker, which Bakugo had noticed and immediately in rash anger snatched away, and after disemboweling the package in front of the entirety of 1-A, was flummoxed to be holding what appeared to be a black leather collar with a matching leash. Even more odd were the shiny, monogrammed green letters on the collar, which spelled TOY in looping curlicue English. Bakugo had been too taken aback to even destroy the incomprehensible object with his Quirk, instead just handing it back to Midoriya and walking back to his desk, pissed off for no real reason, in silence. Arguably the strangest development, all the boys could naturally agree upon, and which Iida could attest to personally, was the complete split between Midoriya Izuku and Uraraka Ochako, who had normally done almost everything together, now avoiding one another like the plague, exiting the classroom at different times and eating at different ends of the cafeteria. This was bizarre because the two of them, separately, denied having had a fight, a falling out, a breakup, or anything bad to say about the other; to dispel any credence to the rumors that they harbored any feelings for one another. On the contrary, Midoriya and Uraraka both seemed to be all-around much more friendly with all of the girls, and by proxy, more friendly with the subject of each other. When Hanta spotted the two outside school at a ramen place downtown, talking excitedly with one another, the jig was up, in a sense; Uraraka and Midoriya resurfaced and resumed friendship at school, falling back into their normal routine with one another, as if none of this inexplicable charade even happened. Nobody could figure out what the hell was going on. Some of the boys took notice, and aggressively pulled their attention away (Bakugo), some took notice and attempted to intervene on levels professional and social (Iida, Kirishima), some took notice and opted not to interfere (Todoroki, Tokoyami), some found it intriguing for personal reasons (Hanta, Kaminari), and some were merely perplexed (Mineta). Some experienced some combination of the above listed. At any rate, they were only able to pry one single, unsatisfying answer, kicking and screaming, from Midoriya: “I honestly don’t know what girls are thinking.” * “Gimme your phone, Kyouka. You’re just gonna stare at it all night,” said Mina, snapping her fingers in front of Kyouka’s face. It was a seasonably warm night, and a tumultuous one at that. They were back in Mina’s apartment again. Momo and Tsuyu were chatting on the couch, Tooru cuddling Mina from behind as the latter was haranguing Kyouka, running her fingers through her hair and feeling her gnarled horns. It seemed no different from the other nights they had spent here, except they were all naked, given how hot it was, and that was the easiest way to cool off. It was a slower night than most.   Izuku and Ochako were sleeping in each other’s arms on the balcony, as they had taken to doing. The night was still fresh on their tongues, all wet air and peeling heat. Tooru stared out the balcony window, letting Kyouka’s stammering voice fade into the background behind the constant hum of a running boxfan, letting her mind fall back into the feelings of frenzy and saturnalia she had experienced between these sets of walls. Tongues and lips and teeth and soft skin, and abstract, formless sex in piles of flesh, ringed with eternal torpor, moving from partner to partner in abstruse, undrawn orders. There are many ways to understand your friends, and this was how Tooru felt understood hers, in a myriad of sleepovers, all tied together by the proximity of bodies. She was formless, unseen, a pleasure-wraith of indivisible air, the paradox beauty. This was how they understood her. Would any other way have been as perfect? She was uncertain of so much. But, for once, Tooru loved being invisible.
