(It was originally two individual chapters but I wanted to cut down my drafts so I combined them)

You're welcome chicken nuggets✨💞

💖💖💖

"Oh... My... God..." Mina said after the music faded. "THAT WAS AWESOME!!!"

Aiko chuckled nervously as they turned the lights back on. "I mean it wasn't that great-"

"Uh... Yes it was, you made Kaminari sound good. Believe me... That's hard." Jirou said pointing at Denki. "My family is full of musicians, so I can spot actual singing talent. You've had lessons haven't you?"

"Well yeah... When I was a kid, my grandma paid for them." Aiko shrugged. "So I have had some practice..."

"Do you play any instruments?" Jirou asked.

Aiko smiled. "No... I wish I did though, I just haven't had the time or resources to learn." She said wistfully.

"What would you want to play?"

"I'm not sure, probably guitar. But the piano would be pretty cool too." Aiko said glancing over at Jirou.

"I could uh... I could teach you." Jirou offered and Aiko turned to her.

"Really?"

"Could you teach me too?! I could play the bass! And then we can be in a band!" Denki said with a giddy smile. "I can play the bass, Aiko could sing and play guitar, Jirou could play... Well anything and sing and Bakugou could play the drums!"

"HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW I PLAY THE DRUMS?!" Bakugou screamed.

Everyone in the room slowly turned to look at the expensive drum set in the corner.

"Just a guess?" Denki said with question.

"So?! Who's the winner?!" Sero asked, trying to look at Mina's notebook.

"Hmm.... Well you and Kirishima were terrible. Bakugou wouldn't let Jirou sing and he also stopped while singing to yell at us... So I guess it's Aiko and Denki!!!!" Mina pulled out her phone. "Introducing the winnersss!!!!" She said, videoing Aiko and Denki.

"Let's gooooooo!!" Denki yelled and Aiko giggled. Jumping up and down beside him.

"Congratulations!!" Mina said.

"THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!! IT'S MY BED!!" Bakugou screamed.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Aiko asked.

Denki quickly looked away, he had completely forgotten the 'prize' of this stupid Contest.

"Oh yeah! The winners get the bed and the losers have to sleep on the floor! I forgot you weren't there for that part! You see we were trying to figure out who should sleep on the bed and then we decided to compete for it!" Mina explained.

"Oh... T-together?" Aiko asked, glancing over at Bakugou's king-sized bed. "I think I'll just sleep in the floor-"

"What? No! I'll sleep on the floor! You're the reason we won anyways!" Denki said immediately.

"No it's okay, you can have it!" Aiko said sheepishly.

"No! I can't sleep knowing it's my fault you're on the floor."

"W-well me neither!" Aiko stuttered with a blush.

"Well, I'm not taking the bed if you're on the floor." Denki crossed his arms.

"Fine! Then we'll share!" Aiko said crossing her own arms and turning away so he couldn't see her blush.

The group looked between the two, eyes looking over back and forth whenever one of the spoke.

"...okay then! I guess we figured that out!" Mina clapped, trying to make the atmosphere less weird. "Let's go do stuff!"

💖💖💖

All hell broke loose when Sero accidentally found Bakugou's stash of candy.

Turns out the explosive blonde had a sweet tooth. There were several hot candies but there was also a lot of sweeter ones as well. It sat on a pile on the ground and the others sat around it. Bakugou was complaining in the corner. The only thing that stopped him from attacking everyone was his mom. The woman came up to say goodnight the same time Bakugou was punching Sero for taking some of his candy.

Then his mother demanded he shared with his 'adorable friends'

To their surprise he actually listened. He relented and didn't beat anyone else up. He just watched with a glare as they ate it.

"Here." Aiko turned to see a piece of candy being held up. Mina smiled as she held up the brown wrapper. "A tootsie roll for my tootsie roll." She said with a smile.

Aiko stared at the candy for a moment.

'Chill out, it's just a nickname.'

'You're cute tootsie roll, forget about Neito. He's a dick anyways.'

"Well are you gonna take it?" Mina asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Oh! Sorry I was just thinking." Aiko chuckled nervously, taking the candy. "Sora used to call me that."

"Who's Sora?" Jirou asked tilting her head. "Wait was that your sister?"

"No her sisters name is Tora. With a T." Denki corrected, pointing his sucker at Jirou.

"Yeah it was... Uh Sora is the name of... Neito's sister." Aiko said with a frown.

"He has a sister?!" Sero asked.

"Yeah, she was nice." Aiko, shrugged.

"I'm surprised someone nice can be related to that guy." Denki said with an eyeroll.

"Well I mean... He wasn't so bad." Aiko said, running her hands through her hair. "But I feel like defending him at this point is pathetic."

"Yeah, cus he cheated on you." Mina said.

Jirou punched Mina. "She's not pathetic!"

"That's not what I meant!" Mina whined, rubbing her arm. "What I meant is you don't need to defend him! He was a jerk!"

"Yeah..." Aiko said quietly. Looking off to the side nervously. She honestly regretted bringing him up, it wasn't really on purpose. She just mentioned Sora and... He sorta came along with her.

It probably would be good, to talk about what happened. To talk about everything that happened with them. But as much as she hated Monoma... She still loved him.

It was stupid. She loved him but didn't like him. But Monoma was really complicated, she knew he had a shitty family life. She knew he had problems and that he might even be addicted to his current lifestyle

"Do you... Want to talk about him? Or any of it?" Kirishima asked nicely.

Out of everyone, she trusted Kirishima. She trusted that he didn't just want information for entertainment. She knew he meant it. "I... I wouldn't even know where to start..." She mumbled with a small chuckle.

Jirou grabbed a handful of candy. "From the beginning, tell us everything."

💖💖💖

"So you told him not to take off your shirt and then he did?" Mina asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Maybe... I don't know... I can't really remember that night." Aiko admitted.

"Why the fuck not?!" Bakugou asked with a scoff, not wanting to admit how invested he was.

Aiko smiled a fake smile and stared off at a wall. "Because... I made a mistake..." She admitted.

"Such as?" Mina asked, narrowing her eyes.

Aiko sighed. "Let's just say... There is a reason that uh... That you shouldn't drink alcohol until you turn twenty one." She said before shoving chocolate into her mouth.

"You were drunk?!" Denki gasped.

"I was wasted. Turns out I'm a light weight." Aiko admitted sheepishly. "But it was a horrible idea and I have learned my lesson... So please don't snitch on me."

"So wait... You told him not to you know... Do stuff. And then he got you drunk and did it anyways?! That's horrible!!" Kirishima said, shoving m&Ms down his throat. He definitely hadn't expected Aiko to tell them this stuff. But he wasn't complaining.

"Yeah... But he was drunk too. I think." Aiko scrunched up her nose. "The next morning his sister gave me a whisk."

"You spent the night?!" Jirou gasped.

"What else was I supposed to do? Let him drive me home?! It was my only option." Aiko pouted. "Plus I basically passed out anyways. When I woke up he was playing Fortnite and I was late for work."

Sero giggled. "Fortnite."

"Yes, he plays Fortnite." Aiko sighed.

"So was that the only time you turned him down?" Mina asked, eating popcorn they had made earlier in the night.

"No, the last time I actually said 'i don't want to have sex with you' was... Actually it was the day we went to the theater. We went to his house afterwards."

"Damn, you straight up told him?" Jirou asked, taking Mina's popcorn.

"I mean... Yeah? I don't know, he was weird about it. But eventually he understood. Or at least acted like he did." Aiko said. "That's probably what made him go to Tris." She groaned.

"Well good for her, getting your leftovers." Mina said sarcastically. Crossing her arms. "What a whore."

"Tris? Or Monoma?" Denki raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Mina responded simply. "I'm just glad you found out so soon afterwards... Wait, how did you find out?" She asked, looking over at Aiko. She hadn't even explained that to Denki. She could barely tell him that he even cheated on her.

"Oh, his sister texted me." Aiko said. "She even sent a video..."

"Wow, his own sister snitched on him. That's gotta be rough. Good for you though." Sero said.

"Yeah, she also said I was cute and that she would date me if I was older. Which was nice. Then Monoma called me so I guess she told him that she was going to snitch."

"Did you answer him?!" Mina asked.

"No, I ignored the call. But we ended up texting. That's how I ended it and blocked him."

"Goodgirl." Mina nodded in satisfaction.

The door suddenly slammed open. Revealing Mrs Bakugou in a pink, lacey nightgown with a purple robe over it. Her spiked blonde hair pulled back with a headband.

"Kids! It's one o'clock!! Stop eating candy and go to sleep!!" Mrs Bakugou whisper-yelled at them. "It might not be a school night but you still need rest." She lectured the kids. Before slamming the door closed again before they could argue.

"Damn bro... She's ho-"

Bakugou didn't waste anytime before killing Sero. The others laughed as Bakugou wrestled with his friend aggressively. "Shut the fuck up!!!!" He whisper-yelled.

Aiko giggled a little bit watching the display, until she glanced over at the bed she would be sleeping on.

It wasn't that Denki made her uncomfortable. She would honestly prefer sharing a bed with him then with Bakugou or Sero. But she was still nervous. What if she did something wrong or embarrassing? What if she moved around too much and embarrassed herself?

She blushed and looked away, at the exact moment Denki glanced over at her.

Yeah, this was gonna be a long night.

💖💖💖

Denki Kaminari grumbled to himself a little bit as he woke up, his eyes remained shut tight.

He couldn't hear anything, no voices or footsteps. So he assumed the others weren't up quite yet. In fact it seemed quiet enough to still be deep into the night. He moved around to get more comfortable. His arm was asleep and something was tickling his nose.

He forced his eyes open when he noticed her weight on his left arm. He couldn't see anything really because his face was buried in a cloud of hair. Aiko's soft brown hair was covering his face and her head was resting on his arm, making it numb.

Denki's face flushed as he realized their position. He began to pull away but Aiko gripped his left arm tightly. She mumbled something and nuzzled her nose against it, humming to herself contently when he stopped his struggling.

He was being held hostage by Aiko Zhu. The sweetest and arguably prettiest girl in his class. He lifted up his free hand and moved her soft hair away from his face. It felt nice and ticklish, and smelled strongly of vanilla. He felt to nervous to move a muscle, the back of her body was pressed firmly against the front of his.

He looked backward to see there was a big space in the bed where he was supposed to be sleeping. It would've been less embarrassing if she had rolled over to his. But that unfortunately wasn't the case.

Aiko was huddled under the blanket while he was almost completely exposed. Showing he had probably gotten cold. The clock on Bakugou's desk read four, so he still had plenty of time before the others got up.

But he still didn't really want to move. He kinda liked this position. He nervously lowered his hand, gripping the blanket and pulling it over him as well, hiding himself from the chill of the night air. Aiko was warm and the area under the blanket felt so comforting. He could get over being picked on in the morning if someone should find them.

His hand settled over her waist and he pulled himself closer, settling his face by Aiko's shoulder and neck. He took a few breaths in, calming himself. His hands were trembling nervously. What if she woke up and hated him? What if this made her super uncomfortable? Was she going to be embarrassed?

Not that the others would tease her as much as they would tease him. He was really in for it if Sero and Jirou saw them. They would never let this go. Jirou would fuss at him for being a 'pervert' and Sero would just snicker about him liking a girl.

But he didn't care, he wrapped his arms around Aiko protectively and she didn't seem to care. She just mumbled something indistinct against his arm and let out a small snore before going silent again.

He pressed his eyes closed. Trying to calm his pluse. His heart was beating rapidly and it probably wasn't healthy. He felt tingly, like he was about to sneeze or like his quirk was about to activate. And he really didn't want to let that happen. Though Aiko would definitely survive it, because of her own quirk. The rest of the kids on the ground would have a rude awakening.

That's what happened with his first kiss, he accidentally shocked the poor girl and she literally never spoke to him again. Calling Him a freak behind his back. She told the whole class what happened and they all laughed at him.

Third grade sucked.

He took deep breaths and held back his quirk. Soon the jittery, static sensation went away and he was left with peace in his body. His quirk sucked, it had the worst drawbacks and he couldn't even control it right. 'How was I even accepted into UA with-'

He was snapped out of his thoughts by Aiko grumbling in her sleep, she wiggled around and turned onto her other side. She frowned in her sleep and settled against his chest again. Throwing her arms around his shoulder's and leaning against him completely. Throwing a leg over one of his own.

Denki inhaled sharply and looked down at Aiko, who had a small smile on her face now that she was comfortable.

Denki nervously smiled back down at her. He knew that out of everything in the world... He wanted Aiko. He wanted to be able to protect her and hold her. He wanted to see her smile and and laugh. It hurt him when she was upset, like they shared a heart.

He knew it would be way too soon, he knew that they both needed to change themselves. They both needed to improve their own mental wellbeing before getting into another relationship.

He knew he wasn't ready.

How could he love her I'd he couldn't even like himself?

He wanted to be better, for her. He wanted to be stronger for her. He knew that she might never be more than his friend. That one day she might meet a guy way better than him. He knew now might be his only chance to have her. That when she moves on to Monoma she might move on to another guy.

But he was okay with wasting that chance.

Because if he took it they wouldn't be at their best. They'd be a mess together, and they would rely too much on each other.

So he would wait. No matter how long it took.

Even if he wasn't the one.
