Everyone was comfortable in the warm blankets and pillows provided as the night darkened outside. Midoriya had fallen asleep on Bakugou's shoulder half way through the movie. Some were drowsy, some were wide awake. 

Bakugou looked at his phone. It was 23:36pm. It was getting late, how was everyone else still awake? Bakugou adjusted his position as he adjusted Midoriya at the same time so he wasn't uncomfortable. He watched as Kaminari slowly fell asleep on Jirou, who was a flustered mess at the moment. Mina was wide awake on the beanbag while she paid full attention to the screen. This is gonna be one hell of a night, he thought.


Aizawa walked into the dorms to see pure chaos. Kirishima, Kaminari and Sero were arguing over something in the dining area. Koda, Sato, Shoji and Ojiro were cooking breakfast. Bakugou and Midoriya were asleep as Todoroki wrapped a blanket around them. Ashido, Uraraka and Hagakure were talking about something, most likely gossip. Jirou and Kaminari were asleep, the blonde asleep on her shoulder. Asui was getting the streamers down with with the help of Iida who was packing them away in a box. Momo, Mineta and Aoyama were putting away the leftovers of the treats from last night.

"I won't even begin to ask what happened, anyway I came to tell you that class will start as normal on Monday. Can someone tell the others when they wake up?"

Iida smiled proudly, "Of course, Mr Aizawa!"



Izuku woke up to feel someone caressing his hair. He turned slightly to see Bakugou arguing quietly with Kirishima while gently stroking the greenette's hair. 

"Kacchan?.. What time is it?" he yawned.

Bakugou pulled Izuku closer, "It's 10:34am, nerd. Seems like you had some good rest."

He smiled. That was a rare thing to see Bakugou do, as he was either always angry or not in the mood.

Kirishima sat up straight, "How are you doing, Midobro?"

Midoriya chuckled at the nickname, "I'm quite alright, Kirishima!"

Iida walked into the common room, surprised to see the greenette awake.

"Midoriya! Mr Aizawa came by earlier to tell us classes start normal on Monday, but you were asleep."

Midoriya sat up a little, "Thank you, Iida! I should probably get something to eat now."

Bakugou showed pure annoyance on his face as Midoriya left his side. It felt as if he was leaving him alone again, like before. Kirishima chuckled slightly as he noticed Bakugou's mood change.

"What's so funny, dumb hair!?"

Kirishima calmed down a little, "Nothing, Bakubro!"



A knock sounded at his dorm. He put down the clothing he was folding and made his way over to the door.

Todoroki glanced into the room, "Hello Midoriya. How are you doing? It seems we haven't had a proper interaction."

Izuku opened the door a little more, "I'm alright, Todoroki. The incident shook me a little, but I'll be fine. What about you?"

"I'm doing great, Midoriya."

Izuku realized the awkwardness between them, "Oh, sorry! Do you want to come in?"

Todoroki nodded, "Thank you, Midoriya."

"Don't mind the mess, I was tidying up a little."

The room that once was like an All Might gallery now only had very few figurines or posters in sight. Todoroki almost didn't recognize the room he was standing in at first. It was clear to him that what All Might had done had affected Midoriya in a way many couldn't fathom. He used to be full of joy with a clear obsession for the Symbol Of Peace, but now the room reflected the opposite. Shoto knew Bakugou had to know about this sudden change, as he was the one who cared the most about the young aspiring hero.

"Todoroki? Are you alright?" Midoriya asked as he waved his hand infront of the boy.

"Yes, I'm fine Midoriya. But, are you okay? You don't seem as cheerful as before and you've taken down most of your All Might merchandise which is unusual, considering you had a clear obsession over him."

Izuku paused. He didn't know himself if he was okay. Ever since he was rescued, he felt off, scared, on edge. He looked around the room. He didn't know if he did this out of feeling hatred, betrayal or anger. He just knew he didn't want to see his face again.

"Midoriya? Are you alright?"

Midoriya snapped out of his train of thought, "I'm fine, Todoroki. I was just lost in thought."

"Well, I must go now. I just remembered I had to meet up with Yaoyorozu for a training session. I'll see you later, Midoriya."

He left the dorm room as Midoriya said goodbye, making sure to leave it ajar. He had to tell a white lie, just this once. He felt guilty about it, especially since Midoriya was his first friend. But, that guilt could wait. He headed towards the elevator as he made his way to the fourth floor. His thoughts were overwhelming him as he thought of what Midoriya could be feeling right now or what he could be going through, including the fact that his idol and mentor had left him behind. He had just stood there and watched him get taken. That's what Bakugou had said, according to Kirishima. Shoto didn't know much about what went down, as he was attending to his classmates who were either badly injured or unconscious. He walked down the hall and finally reached his destination as he knocked gently on the door.

"What the hell do you want, Icyhot!?"

Todoroki sighed as he looked Bakugou in the eye, "It's about Midoriya."
