"Oh, come on~!" Mina Ashido whines, attempting to get her friends to agree on a subject that begun in the beginning of lunch. "I can totally see it happening."

It was a regular day in U.A high school. Despite the school attendees full of heroes, it have one thing that's normal like any other school: Lunch period. You simply grab food and sit anywhere, whether it with yourself or friends, inside or outside the building within school's wall, or just ahead over to a classroom.

A group of 1-A girl students sat together at one of the round tables in the cafeteria. Some were eerie about what the pinkette was rambling on about, while others fit some pieces together.

"I don't think so, their personality are too different." Kyouka Jirou objects with a dismissing wave. "The ever so quiet goth boy and the very blunt laid-back girl? They're not ideally the match made in heaven."

"I tend to disagree!" Tooru Hakagure chimed with an invisible hand raise in the air. Base on her tone, she completely boarding this idea. "They do have some things in common; they're both mature, enjoy peace and quiet, and they're both a form of animal humanoids. In short, I think those two would make a cute couple!"

"Right~!"

"Shouldn't that be up to them?" Class 1-A's female representative asks skeptical, along with an unamused frown. "We shouldn't be matchmaking our classmates. If it's against the two's wishes, then we should drop it."

"We're not matchmaking," The invisible girl groan. "We're just thinking who would make the cutest couple of our class! And so far Tsu and Tokoyami rank number one possibly cutest couple, ever~!"

"I think Tsuyu would think otherwise. What if she hears us? She'll think we're pressuring her on something that she doesn't need to have on her plate right now." Ochako joins in concern for her best friend of a frog girl.

"UUUGHH! Not you too!" The pink alien throw her head back to exhale in frustration. "What happen to the other most laid-back girl that I know?"

"W-Well, I think l-lo—liking someone isn't necessary for someone who wants to become a hero."

"Come on Ochako! Everyone needs love in their life. Like every action-pack movie, the main character always have a main love interest. They always have that one scene of the lover making out with the hero before saying that supporting one-liner, and then, bam! The hero wins and gets the girl! So what makes our lives any different compare to the movies?"

"That's technically not true..."

"Spider-Man, Green-Lantern, Batman, One of member of The Fantastic Four, the Teen Titan, may I go on?

"Not every main character need to have a love interest in order to become a hero. But a form of support is a special need for the main protagonist. Pride and self-honor is one of them, family and friends support is another, and confidence is a crucial need in fact." Momo argues in a full-grown voice. "As a matte of fact, there's been movies where the role are switched, that the female love interest become the protagonist and the male become the love interest. But the heroine didn't to need to find love and was able to finish business for her own sake and not any other, with the exception of her family.

"For example?"

"The best example would be Chinese legend Mulan."

"Are you seriously bringing Mulan into this?" The long ravenette was about clarify her meaning, but the question was a prime example. Still, the invisible girl continues her argument. "I get that she's a total badass who got the job done completely on her own, with some help from a small dragon and three men in the bromance department, but she still got a potential love interest in the beginning, and then they got married in the second one."

"What about Big Hero 6? There was no love interest to begin with, and the movie represented friendly support for the main guy."

"They weren't intending to create one anyway. I'm talking about movies that do have one, but there wasn't any need for rescuing them.

"Aha! The Princess and the Frog.

"But there was still that love interest!"

"But the love support was from her family. And her own pride brought the woman back on her feet."

"That's true. Besides movies, there are tv shows that have some platonic friendships such as Soul and Maka from Soul Eater. They complement each other amazingly and became the kickass team. Much like Tsuyu and Tokoyami."

"Um, Nisekoi anyone?"

"There's Katekyo Hitman Reborn. Tsuna change in order to protect his familigia and gain support from them in return."

"Rosario + Vampire! Hello~!"

"Haikyuu! The most obvious example of friendships over relationship."

"Uuuuggghhhh, fine... whatever."

Mina brought her head back to face the brunette across from her seat, pouting for this topic wasn't going in the direction she wanted. "Well, no matter how you look at it. I still think they would make a really cute couple." She huffed and turn away from Ochako.

"They complement each other, they both hang out with each other, like almost 24/7, and we all seen how they fight together as a team. They both bring the best out of each other as they know their pro and cons, and they support one another to make it up. And let's not forget who help in babysitting the cute shadowy guy."

A moment of silent as all the first year girls process the reasons for such a ridiculous topic to begin with.

"Honestly, I can't help but agree with Mina." Kyouka finally pipe up with a nonchalant eye roll, expressing sarcasm but her tone is speaking whatever is truly on her mind.

"You too?" Momo ask the small rock-punk girl in disbelief.

"What? I've seen them talk to each other before. The way they interact with each other, it's like they already became a couple, one teasing and the other one bickering."

"They bicker?! Like an old married couple?" Tooru leans forward to with a hidden expression of curiousity. Then she imagine Tsuyu and Tokoyami bickering, as Kyouka said, her action extremely shows excitement.

"O.M.G. Even better! They could get married and move into a house together, and they have lil' shadow, and he's like a pet to them! Forget about getting kids, having a pet is way better, and who to take the part other the little shadow guy!" She squeed as she then ramble on and hope that the two animal-like students will have a romantic future.

"Ummm, Tooru. You're escalating this topic to infinity and beyond. We're just saying they could be a couple, not that they should." Mina teasingly corrected her excited friend. "And all of that is wasay too soon." She extend her arm and swinging it to prove all of that isn't what they should think about yet.

"Hahahaha... Sorry~. I still can't help that they would become endgame and live happily ever after. It's like some shoujo manga on their school life, so cute!"

The rest of the girls were laughing at the invisible girl's ecstatic antics, while she was a bit embarrassed with an invisible raise hand scratching the back of her head.

Meanwhile. A certain small girl with frog quirks heard the whole thing. With a v-shaped grin, she walk out of the cafeteria, and heading to her usual spot to finish her lunch.

When she arrived at the entrance, consisting of a lot of bushes surrounding the destination, she push some leaves away to make some sort of open path. Stepping over some tree roots, some large implanted rocks, and then countering one her companion of darkness.

"Hey Lil' shadow." Tsuyu gently place a hand on his flickering head, petting it with such affection. Dark Shadow cheep as he turn away to lead her to his owner.

At the end of the trail lead to a boy around Tsuyu's age with dark feather as a crow's, narrow eyes of red irises, and with a head of a bird, was none other than her good friend and classmate Tokoyami Fumikage. His back against the base of the tree,

"What took you long?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

The teal-haired girl just giggle as she sat down right next to her bird friend. Seeking comfort she lay her head on his shoulder, in which he didn't mind for he scooted closer to her and lifted his head for better placement.

"You never gonna believe what our classmates is saying about us."

TBH, the examples for the argument was just random shit I threw in to hope make sense. And I did my research on the superheroes movies that does involve with love interest, so no negative feels about that.

But yeah, what side are you on for TokoTsuyu? Relationship or Friendship?
