Monoma entered the common room, wiping the sweat off his brow with a towel. He had gone running, heeding Midoriya's advice to try and build up some leg muscle and stamina, and had made his way back to the dorms when he was done.

It was relatively early, only around eight in the morning. And only Bakugou, Todoroki, Iida, and Shishida were up at this time, especially on weekends. Bakugou and Todoroki were still training, and Iida and Shishida were no doubt studying now instead of training, wanting to let their muscles rest after the provisional license exam the previous day.

He went to go sit down on the floor, and instead, was surprised to see what appeared to be someone sleeping on the sofa. He wasn't too surprised, it was probably one of his classmates, since UA had upped their security and there was no way that this was a stranger or an outsider.

He was surprised to see that it was Midoriya curled up on the couch, with Shinsou and Kota snoozing next to him. When did Shuzenji let him out of the infirmary anyway?

Monoma checked the temperature of the room, and found that it was actually slightly chilly. No doubt Midoriya was going to catch a cold if he was sleeping there in just a t-shirt and shorts.

He made his way upstairs, and knocked on Shishida's door, but was surprised that no one answered. Maybe Shishida was also sleeping in. He did expend a lot of energy using his quirk. He found Iida's room, which was right next to Shishida's, and knocked on the door. Almost immediately, the door was flung open, and Iida was standing at the door.

"Hello, Monoma. What brings you to my room at this time? Did you just finish your workout and require something?"

"Actually, I was wondering if you needed your blanket?"

"Monoma, you shouldn't be sleeping right after you finish a workout." Iida frowned.

"No, not for me. Midoriya's sleeping in the common room. No idea how he ended up there… but he's gonna catch a cold and I'm not waking him up. He needs sleep." Monoma defended himself.

"If Midoriya needs it, then I'll gladly lend him my blanket." Iida nodded, "Thank you for telling me. As the class representative, it is my responsibility to take care of my classmates. I'll bring him the blanket. You can go cool down and shower first."

"Thanks, Iida." Monoma replied, before making his way to the elevator and going up to the fifth floor.

He was back down in the common room in twenty minutes with some homework, having finished his shower, and made his way to sit on the floor at the low table in front of the television to do his work. He was glad to see that Midoriya was still asleep, this time wrapped up in blankets like a burrito.


Sero yawned, and stretched.

It was Sunday, and after weeks of training non-stop, as well as studying, it was good to finally be able to sleep in for once before a new school week started.

He hopped off his bed, brushed his teeth, cracking his sore neck, before he changed.

He peered at his clock. It was already ten in the morning, and it was surprisingly quiet. Living on the second floor, he was relatively close to the common room, and it was usually bustling with activity at this time, either from people playing video games, arguing over something taught in school, or his peers just chatting really loudly.

He took a good look at the hero licence that was placed on his desk, smiling proudly at himself before shoving it into his wallet and pocketting it. He grabbed his phone, and made his way downstairs. Hopefully, Awase was up and already playing Beat Saber. He was dying to beat the other male's high score.

He walked into the common room, surprised that so many people were up and about, but the entire room was eerily silent. Awase and Kaminari were playing Mario Kart, with the volume turned all the way down. Bakugou was having a hushed and whispered argument with Kirishima and Ashido, and Shinsou and Kota were watching the ongoing game from their position on the couch.

"Hey, guys, what's -"

He was promptly met with death glares from everyone in the room, and was silenced when Tokage shot a hand out to cover his mouth, using her other intact hand to put her finger over her mouth in the gesture to keep quiet.

"What's going on?" Sero whispered, as Tokage called her hand back and reattached it to her arm.

"Come on." Tokage dragged Sero over to the couch, and to his surprise, he saw Midoriya wrapped up in blankets and sleeping soundly.

"Ok. Got it." Sero nodded, and quietly made his way to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of apple juice.


Midoriya groggily opened his eyes, and found himself wrapped in a blanket.

Huh, that's weird.

He didn't remember sleeping with a blanket on, but he just dismissed it. He was nice and warm, and it didn't bother him that much.

He carefully unwrapped the blanket from around his body, and stretched out on the sofa, before he sat up and blinked, trying to figure out what was going on.

He was surprised to see the back of Awase's head, before he realised that Sero and Awase were sitting on the floor playing Mario Kart. Kota was sitting next to them, eating a cookie, while Shinsou was trying to complete a sudoku puzzle with Kaminari, and Jiro was just smacking her forehead in exasperation as Kaminari placed a nine in a box that already had a nine.

"I'm sorry! I fell asleep on the sofa and you guys have to sit on the floor!" Midoriya yelped, almost tumbling off the sofa.

Awase paused the game, and turned around, "Don't worry about it. You need more sleep, and we usually sit on the floor anyways. Bakugou made lunch. I think he left a bowl on the table for you."

After thanking him, Midoriya walked to the table, and was surprised to see a covered bowl with a note on it.

To Deku: Eat you stupid lunch, you idiotic little shit. The dipping sauce is in the fridge.

To IcyHot: THIS IS FOR DEKU YOU STUPID FUCK. IF YOU EAT IT I WILL KILL YOU!

Midoriya just stared at the note, not knowing what to make of it, before crumpling the note and stuffing it in his pocket. Too many swears.

He took the lid off, and found that the bowl was filled with udon. He opened the fridge, found a bowl of sauce, and took it out, before taking the chopsticks and made his way to eat.

He was actually pretty hungry, having skipped both dinner and breakfast, and he wolfed down the noodles. Bakugou's cooking was awesome as usual. He was going to have to remember to thank Bakugou for leaving something for him.

He finished the meal and washed his dishes, before walking back to the common room, finding Kaminari, Awase, and Ashido playing, some sort of realistic looking racing game, as Kota tried to figure out how to play with the fourth controller.

He lost, unsurprisingly, and Midoriya came to sit on the floor beside his friends, as Kota handed the controller over to him.

"Hey, Midoriya, know how to play?" Sero asked.

Midoriya just looked at the controller, confused, "What is this?"

"An Xbox controller. Have you never played before?"

Midoriya shook his head, and his classmates shook their heads in shock.

"Well then, you're missing out. Just use the circle pad to move and …"

Ashido gave Midoriya a lengthy explanation of what each button did, and in the end, it took twenty minutes to realise that tilting the remote did not, in fact, change the direction the vehicle moved in.

Midoriya groaned, as Ashido finally realised what Midoriya was trying to do, before configuring his controller to sense the tilt in order to control its direction.

And Midoriya was still doing horribly in the game.

"Do you have, like, a motorbike or something?"

"There is, but it's like the worst vehicle you can use in this game." Awase muttered, as his sports car drifted.

"Well, anything it better than this." Midoriya grumbled, as he crashed his car into the sidewalk for the twentieth time in five minutes, completely flipping the vehicle over, somehow.

"Note, do not let Midoriya get his driver's licence." Sero laughed, as they ended the game to allow Midoriya to change the car he was using into a motorcycle.

"But seriously, do you want to try the other cars? This is like, the worst vehicle. All of us have tried before, we can't control it." Kaminari asked.

"Yeah, whatever."


"What the actual!?"

"What's going on?" Jiro asked, as she moved out of the kitchen, "You're still playing that game?"

"Midoriya, how?!" Awase yelled, and Midoriya's motorbike passed by him for the tenth time that afternoon.

"Woah, who's using the bike? I thought we all agreed it was the worst?" Tetsutetsu asked.

That caught everyone's attention. Even those who didn't play, the game had been sitting in the common room long enough for all of them to know which were the better vehicles, and generally, which vehicle each gamer chose.

And it was one of the well known facts amongst the hero course students, that the motorcycle was literally the worst. It had speed and power, but absolutely zero control, and no one wanted to use it because they crashed more times that Midoriya did with a regular slow car.

"Midoriya, who else?!" Sero groaned, as the cycle zipped past him, skidding across the screen, before zooming off again.

"At this point, I'm not surprised anymore." Monoma groaned, "Midoriya can probably be thrown in the worst possible scenario, and somehow turn it into the best."

Awase sighed as he accidentally flipped his car over trying to sabotage Midoriya, "Dude, this guy crashed the slowest car like, twenty times. In one game."

"Deku is just being a stupid Deku." Bakugou huffed.

"Ah, yeah, Kacchan, thanks for the food. It was delicious!" Midoriya grinned, leaning backwards and not looking at the screen at all, and was still somehow able to control his motorcycle properly.

"Shut up. It wasn't made for you. It was just leftovers from my lunch. And if you collapse one more time in training, I have one less chance to kick your ass!"

Monoma just sighed, but he let out a small smile. No one was bringing up the licence exam. For once, Midoriya could just relax and act his age. Shinsou and Kota could relax and not have to worry about villains.

It was nice, but it's not going to last. He knew that at the very least.
