A/N: Hello! I could not sleep last night so this came to mind to write. I can see this being continued, but I would love your thoughts on this. Also, I feel like Ojiro x Hagakure is the most cannon relationship in My Hero. They are always hanging on each other or talking to each other. We need to put them in more stories. But of course, my main ship is here is Tokoyami and Tsu. I love those two. I will go down with this ship! So, let me know if you would like the next step in this. Find out what Hagakure learns…

Thank you,

Traditional Twist

Mushroom Mishaps

Tokoyami thought he smelled something bad coming from downstairs. He couldn't identify the earthy tones, but there they were wafting around his head. A group text started to clear everything up.

Sato: Hey! I made lunch for everyone. Come and get it.

Tokoyami could feel his stomach growl. "What say you, Dark Shadow? Shall we see what Sato has created for us?"

Dark Shadow crawled out of Tokoyami's back and chirped. Tokoyami smiled and walked downstairs to see the rest of his classmates already gathered around the entryway. That's when he saw them. That's when he realized what the smell had been; mushrooms.

Sato stirred a large wooden spoon in a saucepan. The brown liquid twirled around each piece of the large fungus. Most of the class seemed thrilled. They jumped at the table filling their bowls and thanking Sato.

Tokoyami stayed back, not inching towards the earthy food. He wasn't the only one. A set of floating shirt and shorts rocked back away from the group. Tokoyami watched the invisible girl debate on her actions.

"Better move fast if you want some of Sato's cooking," Kaminari hollered at Tokoyami.

It was that moment Tokoyami made his decision. He bowed. "Thank you for preparing this meal for the class Sato, but I shall be dining elsewhere." He turned to the front door and stuck out his elbow. "Would you care to join me, Hagakure?"

Silent confusion fell on the class as all eyes turned to Hagakure. The rest of the class was highly confused as to why Tokoyami would specifically call out to this girl. Though hard to tell, Tokoyami would swear he saw the girl's shoulders relax.

"Yes, please!" Hagakure sprinted over to Tokoyami. She wrapped her arms around his extended arm. Tokoyami smiled and the pair walked away.

Ochaco looked to the rest of the room. "Did I miss something? Are they like… together?"

"I didn't see that coming," Kaminari said laughing. He patted Ojiro on his back. "Tough luck, buddy."

"Yeah." Ojiro let out a disheartened laugh. He lowered his head, tail drooping as well.

"You are looking too much into this," Shoji interrupted. "This is for sure a friendly outing."

"How can you be so sure about that?" Kaminari asked.

"The two of them have both shred with me about their new repulsion to mushrooms. After our battle with class 1-B, neither has been able to handle being in a room too long with any form of mushroom," Shoji explained.

Midoriya placed a finger to his chin. "Now that you mention it, those two did receive the blunt of Kinoko Komori's mushroom quirk."

"Yeah, she ended up choking Tokoyami by growing one in his throat," Ochaco added.

"Well that certainly explains Tokoyami's disdain for mushrooms, but why was Hagakure so needed to go?" Iida looked to Momo and Aoyama, who both had a plate in hand. "You two were also impacted by the mushroom quirk."

"We were both separated from Hagakure and Tokoyami," Momo clarified.

"Oui," Aoyama said with bite.

"It's really not that hard to understand," Shoji stated.

"Could you explain it then," Jirou asked. "It's hard to understand why anyone would skip out on Sato's cooking."

"I think everyone understands that Tokoyami being choked by a mushroom growing in his throat makes sense." The group nodded. Shoji sighed. "Hagakure… think about her costume. There was mushroom at ever exposed place."

Ojiro and Jirou both turned bright red. Tsu thought a moment and then ribbited a blush. Koda looked confused to her, and she leaned and whispered it into Koda's ear. The boy's face flushed, and he hid behind his hands. Mineta began to drool, which both Sero and Kaminari smacked him and chastised him for such a prude reaction. Midoriya was still confused.

"I still don't understand."

"Deku, you idiot!" Bakugou snapped. "She's fucking naked. There must have been mushrooms coming out of every orifice of her body!"

The room fell silent as everyone processed what the explosive teen had said. Sato broke the silence. "Did anyone not get any lunch?"

The room laughed and a line for the meal continued as everyone

Tokoyami and Hagakure made it off campus and found their way to a local cafe They both ordered a drink and meal. Tokoyami had an iced coffee while Hagakure was sipping on a cup of tea.

"I'm so glad you asked me to leave with you! I don't think I could have stayed in that room any longer!" Hagakure's shirt waved in different directions.

Tokoyami nodded. "I realized that if I was having trouble stomaching this concept, you would as well."

"I just hope Sato is upset with us," Hagakure said.

"I'm sure he will understand," Tokoyami said taking a sip through his straw.

"You're such a good friend, Tokoyami. Why don't we eat out more often? We should do this regularly!"

"I see no qualms with this," Tokoyami said.

"Yay!" Hagakure cheered. "I want to talk about everything!"

"Alright, where should we begin?"

Hagakure took a drink from tea as she thought. "Hmm, I know! Who do you like?"

Tokoyami, taking a drink at the time, coughed and blushed. "That's… cough a bit personal to begin."

"Oh, come on, Tokoyami! It's not like we haven't known each other. Here I'll share first. I have a crush Ojiro." She swayed back and forth in her seat.

Tokoyami chuckled. "Knowing that, I don't feel guilty telling you he shares the same sentiments."

"He does?" Hagakure slammed her hands on the table and leaned forward.

"Indeed," Tokoyami nodded. "I'm surprised you didn't realize it. It's rather obvious."

"Why hasn't he asked me out, then?"

"He is a rather shy individual if you think about, he."

"But he is such a nice guy! We always talk! He's one of my best friends!"

"That friendship is something he probably doesn't want to jeopardize. Admitting a crush on someone you already have a relationship with will change that relationship."

"That's wise," Hagakure said. "I will have to approach him then."

Their food arrived and the two began eating. Hagakure carefully watched as Tokoyami gracefully guided the chopsticks through the side of his mouth. He was so slow and methodical. It was clear that eating took much more patience for the bird headed teen.

"Have you always had to be so careful while eating?" She asked.

Tokoyami's beak flushed as he was about to take another bit. "It… it is hard to eat when not everything is designed with your mutation in mind."

Hagakure's body rocked in her seat. "I didn't mean to make you self-conscious! I was just curious. You are always so careful. I just wanted to know if that just came with your personality or if it was something you had to adapt to."

Tokoyami cocker his head. "That's an interesting way to think about it. I suppose my physical features have had an impact on my personality; nature versus nurture sort of debate."

"Exactly!" Hagakure spoke with a full mouth. She swallowed before explaining. "Like I have to be so loud to get noticed. If I'm quiet no one thinks or sees me, but if I'm loud I'm ready."

"I can see that." At that moment Dark Shadow emerged from Tokoyami's back. It shot over to Hagakure, who happily pet the quirk before it returned to its host's body. "Sharing a body with a sentient quirk would make me cautious as well."

"That is why you are observant about Ojiro. That's also why you can explain how he must feel. You can relate." There was a hint of knowing in her voice.

Again, a blush crossed the bird-headed teens face. "I suppose I cannot hide the truth."

An excited inhale came from the invisible girl. "I knew you had a crush! Come on spill! Maybe I can help you!"

"I fear risking the relationship that we already have established. Do you promise to keep this between us?"

"Of course! Unless I know I can set you up. So, spill! Who is it?" She took a bite to keep her mouth quiet as she waited for the answer.

"It's hard for me the explain, but my heart has grown rather found of Tsuyu Asui." He covered his eyes with his hand. He couldn't look up now that he had admitted it out loud. This had only been spoken internally, with Dark Shadow. Not even Shoji had known this.

Like a balloon with a small leak, Hagakure's squeal was soft but high pitch. "Oh, my, goodness! I knew you had a crush! This is so exciting!"

"I would rather not invest too much into it," Tokoyami sighed. "It's not like she will feel the same."

"You don't know that," Hagakure argues.

"I don't see anything remotely attractive about have a birds head. I've been informed by many my whole life it's quite a turn off."

"well that's not true! And there is more to liking someone then just looks. Don't you like Tsu more than for her appearance?"

"Of course. She is always so calm. She gives anyone more confidence and is an incredible hero."

Hagakure leaned against her elbows on the table. "What if I do some digging? I can find out what she thinks of you and report back."

Tokoyami's eyes widened. "You don't need to do that."

"But I want to. It doesn't hurt to look into it. We are having a girl's night tonight anyway. It will give us something else to talk about who Ochaco likes."

"That's between Midoriya and Iida, right? She seems very protective of those two."

Hagakure almost spit out her food. "You see it too!"

Tokoyami nodded and the pair laughed. Despite the unfortunate mushroom encounter, the two had an enjoyable time. They shared more conversation and after an hour out the two paid and began to head back to the school.

"I hope they are finished eating," Hagakure said.

"I plan on finishing some homework once we return."

"That's smart, Tokoyami. I'm going to meet with the girls and make a plan."

"A plan?" Tokoyami asked.

"Yep. I'm going to figure out a way to confess to Ojiro. I'm going to surprise him."

Tokoyami smiled. "Let me know if I can help. I'm sure he would be happy."

"I will let you know. Besides, I have to tell you what I find out about Tsu."

"You really don't have to."

"But I want to."

The walk continued silently. "I just don't want to be rejected, even by myself."

Hagakure patted Tokoyami of the shoulder. "That won't happen. You are a great guy. Any girl would be lucky to know they have caught your eye."

"Thank you. You are too kind, Hagakure."

They two approached the school. Out front, Ashido and the other girls were sitting and talking in the shade of a tree. Hagakure huffed.

"You all started girl time without me?" She yelled.

"You were having Tokoyami time!" Ashido yelled back.

"Yeah, and we had a great time! And there were no mushrooms!" Hagakure replied.

"Indeed, it was an excellent time. We will have to make this a regular outing." Tokoyami walked toward the entrance. "Enjoy your girl time, Hagakure."

"I hope you finish your homework soon," the invisible girl hollered. Tokoyami waved and walked inside as Hagakure moved to her friends under the tree. The girls all laughed, as they each shared what they planned to bring to their girls' night in Momo's room.
