Candy's POV

"If I wasn't, I wouldn't be holding now would I?" Bakugo asks me, but before I could reply I saw Sho's face, so I tapped Bakugo's arm indicating I needed to do something.

"Hey, can you let me go for a moment?" I asked Bakugo. He sighs and let's me go. "Thank you" I give him a soft smile. I walked over to Sho and Noya. "Hey you guys ok?"

"I don't know...he didn't catch onto my hint" she says quietly. I turned to look at Sho, who was looking at the ground. I than looked back at Noya.

"I'll talk to him, than you should too...yea?" She just nods, as tears fall down her face. "Hey don't cry, all we need is to communicate. We'll work this out...ok?" I whispered wiping her tears. I could hear Bakugo growling in the distance.

"It's my fault through" she mutters.

I shook my head "it's just a misunderstanding, wait here" I say, softly before walking over to Sho. "Hey Sho, you do know it was a misunderstanding right? Noya didn't mean what she said" I explained, hoping he understood. He looks up at me, his eyes so conflicted. I sigh "you know her, she used to be isolated and all that jazz" I say, waving my hands a bit. "Talk to her and let her explain, I know you like her." I gave him a knowing look, and he began to blush. "If both of y'all have problems, it'll be hard, so come to me when y'all need advice...yea?" I grinned "now go get her Sho!" I exclaim slapping his back as he walked passed me. As I watched him walk back to Noya, I subconiosuly walked back over to Bakugo. "I'm back" I whispered , giving him a small smile. "I also heard you growl...mind telling me why?"

Bakugo smirks "I didn't growl" but I could tell he was lying.

I smirked at him "sure whatever floats your boat Mr. Porcupine" I poked his cheeks. I watch as Bakugo blushes and holds me again. I chuckled "am I that huggable?"

"Yes," he responds quickly.

I giggle "ok" before turning back to Sho and Noya "I really hope they work this out" I mumbled.

Noya's POV

"Noya..." Shoto walks up to me, and kneels down in front of me "please don't cry."

"What are you doing here? You hate me" I mumble.

Shoto shakes his head "I think it's better to talk it out. Candy kinda slapped me in the face with that." Sho says, lightly scratching his cheek.

I just looked down "you need to learn to read in between the lines.

"Yea sorry, I never really had anyone who does this" he says, gesturing to us.

"I was trying to tell you, I didn't mean what I said, I just didn't want the class knowing, and now your mad at me" I whisper, as tears fall down my face.

"I'm not mad, I'm just shocked really...I didn't mean to hurt your feelings" He says, glancing at me and I feel him wipe a tear off my face.

"I'm sorry...I should have just straight up said, I didn't mean it."

"It's ok, we make mistakes don't we?" He says, as a small smile grows on his lips, and he pats my head. I just nod and fiddle with my fingers.

3rd POV

Shoto glances up at Candy and Bakugo, than back at Noya "are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Noya looks up at him and smirks "probably."

"Mina...?" Shoto guessed.

"Oh...now I'm confused," Noya admits.

Shoto gave her a blank look "Mina is the only one who could tease Bakugo, and get away with it" Shoto explains.

"Oh, yea your right..." she grins, "hey Mina!" Mina looks over to Noya, and see's Noya pointing at Candy and Bakugo. Mina's eyes sparkled with pure joy and excitement.

"GUYS! BAKUGO'S BEING A SOFTY!" Mina shouts. The whole class went quiet, and then chaos erupted.

"OH MY WORD, GET THE CAMERA!" Kaminari shouts.

"That's so manly dude!" Kirishima exclaims. Mina proceeds to take a camera out and takes pictures.

"I'm never gonna stop mentioning this!" Mina exclaims jovially. At this point Candy's face was cherry red, and he buried his face into his hands.

"He's gonna kill y'all" Noya chuckles, and Shoto nodded in agreement with her statement.

Bakugo then proceeded to let go of Candy and looked away, hiding his blush. "Shut the fuck up racoon eyes! You have a death wish or something?"

"Maybe I do...what about it?" Mina asks, acting all preppy. Candy looked down, obviously bummed that Bakugo let go, and was pouting a bit.

"Aw, come on Bakugo...hug Candy again, you made him sad." Noya pouts. Mina nods in agreement.

Bakugo made small explosions with his hand, "Tch! Shut up" he grumbles, pulling Candy into another hug.

Candy broke out a huge grin, hugging Bakugo back, burying his head into Bakugo's hair. "You smell like carmel, Mr. Porcupine" he mutters.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Shoto looked at Noya, "I want a hug too" he pouts.

"Wait really?" Noya asks, blinking. Shoto nodded, spreading his arms out a bit. "Ok, well don't judge....I don't really know how to hug." She admits, going and giving him a hug.

"Same" Shoto mutters, wrapping his arms around Noya.

"Awh, you guys are so cute! I've never felt so single" Mina pouts at the last part, as she takes pictures of Bakugo and Candy, then takes pictures of Noya and Shoto.

"You could always go date Jiro," Noya smirks at Mina. Candy smirked at Mina, when Noya said that.

"I-" Mina looks at Jiro then back at Noya, "I honestly don't mind." Candy chuckles.

Bakugo grins "Of course you don't" Kiri was in his desk sulking, trying not to show it.

"I mean who wouldn't wanna date Jiro? She's hot and super cool, and has great taste in music, I already love her, so dating her wouldn't be too bad." Mina shrugs.

Candy chuckled, and looked up at Bakugo "someone's jealous." Kirishima felt his heart breaking when Mina said what she said, but hid it knowing that it wasn't manly to show his weakness. Bakugo chuckled and nodded, smirking at Kirishima.

Noya looked at Candy, realizing her mistake "I changed my mind, Mina should date Kirishima."

Mina looks at Kiri, then back at Noya "I-I wouldn't mind that either." Candy nodded, and Bakugo rolled his eyes.

Noya chuckles, "then do it."

"We should go on a triple date or something," Candy suggests, wrapping his arm around Bakugo's shoulder.

Noya blushes "d-date? With Sho?"

Shoto shrugs "I'd like a date if you don't mind."

Bakugo shrugged, "I wouldn't mind going on a date with you." He whispers, in Candy's ear.

"That would be so cute! I'll stalk your double date and take pictures!" Mina exclaims.

"Your part of the date too, y'know" Candy says to Mina.

"Who am I supposed to go with?" Mina asks.

"Uh sharky boi over there" Candy says. Kirishima who really wanted to go out with Mina, blushing softly.

"So, Mina...w-wanna go out with me?" Kiri asks.

Mina turns around to face Kiri "u-um yea, sure" she says, turning back around to try and hide her blush. Kirishima sighed in relief

Candy grins, "then it's settled, how does saturday sound?"

"Yea, that works" Bakugo nods.

"I'm good with Saturday," Noya says.

"Sounds good," Mina agrees.

"Alright," Kiri says.

"I'm excited for this," Candy grins, poking Bakugo's cheek.

"Don't do that weirdo" Bakugo grumbles.

"But your cheek is so soft and fluffy! Candy exclaims, poking his cheek again to prove her point.

"Shit," Noya mutters.

"What's wrong?" Shoto asks, Noya.

"Oh, nothing to worry about" Noya chuckles, nervously.

Aizawa sighs, when no one heard the lunch bell. "Get out problem child, it's lunch time." Noya groans, and Shoto gives her a curious look, wondering why she would groan about it being lunch time.

Noya looks down at the ground and sighs "I guess we should get going."

"Food!" Mina exclaims, as her eyes sparkle, as she taps her chin. "I wonder if they have ice cream."

Candy turns to Mina, "they have ice cream?" He asks, a huge grin appearing on his face.

"I've been asking them to add it to the menu for a while now, but they haven't done it yet" Mina explains. "Wanna go piss them off till they say yes?"

"Yea!" Candy exclaims.

"I wonder what ice cream tastes like" Noya mutters to herself.

Shoto gave Noya a shocked look, "I am so letting you taste ice cream on Saturday."

Mina turns around "YOU HAVEN'T HAD ICE CREAM BEFORE?" She asks, shocked.

"No, it's fine, I honestly don't even have the money" Noya mutters.

"Nope" Candy says.

"Suddenly, I'm not broke," Mina grins.

"Come on, let's go," Candy says to Mina, then proceeds to drag Noya out of the classroom, but only gets to the doorway before Bakugo stops them.

Bakugo grabs Candy's hand, "You're sitting with me today."

Candy pouted, "But I wanna see Noya taste ice cream for the first time."

"Then she can sit at our table as well" he huffs.

"What about Sho?"

"Fucking fine!" He growls.

"Wait, isn't he with the deku squad?" Candy asks, tilting his head.

"Then they can sit with the fucking Deku squad" Bakugo growls.

"Come with us to the deku table instead?" Candy suggests.

"Like hell, I would sit around Deku" Bakugo hisses.

"Please?" Candy asks, pouting a bit.

"Fucking fine!" Bakugo grumbels.

Candy giggles, poking his cheek "Thanks Baku."

Mina gasps "Is deku and kacchan going to become friends again?"

"NO!" Bakugo hisses.

"I doubt it, but you should try" Candy scoffs, then turns to Bakugo.

"Hell no!" Bakugo hisses.

Mina turns around, wide eyed "I called him kacchan and I'm still alive!" Shoto's eyes were also wide.

"It's because he's found love" Noya smirks.

"Yea, it's definitely gotta be that" Mina agrees.

Shoto smirked at Bakugo, and put an arm around Noya. She looked down, blushing not sure what to do next. Shoto looked at Noya, realizing his arm was around her "uhh sorry" he mutters, hesitantly removing his arm.

"Can you guys stop making me feel so lonely and single?" She whines, then shakes her head "I'm kidding, this is adorable, don't stop."

"You have Kiri through!" Candy exclaims.

"We aren't dating" Mina mumbels, "he probably doesn't even like me that way anyways." Kiri was blushing and looking at the ground.

"Mina, stop being stupid." Noya mutters.

"You really are one dense person" Candy smirks.

"I am not!" Mina exclaims.

"You are when it comes to yourself" Shoto chimes in.

"I'm so confused" Mina whines.

"You think Sharky doesn't like you," Candy says, gesturing to a blushing Kirishima.

"No, we're just friends" Mina says, shaking her head, and looking a bit disappointed. Kirishima sighs, and walks away. Candy gave Mina a dead look.

"Sharky" Candy whispers, walking over to Kirishima.

"Yea?" He asks sadly, as he looks up at Candy.

"Let's go get some ice cream" Candy whispers, also dragging Noya out of the classroom.

"I can't ask you to pay," Noya says to Candy.

"Nonsense Mina, I'm paying" Candy says.

"Fine," Noya sighs.

And with that Noya, Kirishima, and Candy walk out of the room leaving Mina, Shoto, and Bakugo in the classroom.
