The Cucumber Kids

Summary:

Tenya laid back on the plush fabric of his queen-sized bed, phone in hand and completely lost in thought.

"Am I making a mistake by doing this?" He muttered aloud, tapping away at the screen and filling out the required information. "Aizawa-sensei insisted that I do something about this, but... Would it really be worth it?"

He thought back to what his teacher had told him earlier that day. "You could always create a group chat with the other students involved. That'd be a good way to involve everyone."

 

'If Aizawa-sensei really thinks that this is a good idea, then I'll do it!'

 

Iida glanced down, reading over his phone's screen once more. A large, bolded "Create Chat?" bubble stared back at him. With a small sigh, he pressed "OK".

The engine-quirked teen flopped back on his pillow, groaning. "I need an Aspirin... This headache is killing me."

In which Iida makes the mistake of starting a chat for Class 1-A.

Notes:

hi!! I haven't forgotten about this fic, I swear! :(

4/24/2022: I'm currently rewriting the chapters for the fiftieth time!! This will (hopefully) be my final rewrite though, so please expect consistency from here on out. Chapter 1 is complete, keep an eye out for the other chapters to get a rerelease + a brand new chapter! :)

Anyway! A few of the characters diverge a bit from the official story for a few reasons. First and foremost, it's been over a year since I've immersed myself in the material, so I'm kinda shooting in the dark here lol. Second, I plan to alter a couple backstories, add a few elements, and flesh out some of the less important characters. I hate that some of the characters just exist to fill space... And I would love for their appearances in my story to be more beloved! I mean, wouldn't it be so nice to appreciate Hagakure as a character and not just some one-note "invisible girl"?
