Work Text:
Ochako excitedly carried the last box of her belongings into Heights Alliance. She was definitely going to miss home, but moving into the dorms was also something new and exciting.
She fondly watched Deku as he helped her carry up her things and Iida tried to wrangle some order into the ever-chaotic class 1-A. With everything they had gone through together, it felt like they were one big family, bickering and teasing each other.
It was all incredibly domestic; she could get used to sights of her friends making dinner and bustling around the common room. She could definitely get used to the sight of Deku's back muscles flexing as he walked ahead of her, carrying three boxes at a time.
"I-It's ok Uraraka-san! You don't need to use your quirk. I need the strength training after all!"
Ochako was brought of her reverie by her pink-skinned friend waving and shouting her name across the common room.
"Ochako! When you're done with moving your stuff in, come join us girls for a chat!"
"Sure thing Mina!"
Ochako let out a sigh of relief as she set the last box down in her room and moved back into the common area, joining the circle of girls that had gathered in the corner.
"So, what did you want to talk about Mina?"
"Oooh, nothing much... just excited to be moving in with you guys!" the excitable girl responded.
Yaomomo nodded, "There will certainly be changes. I hope we can count on each other to make sure the boys stay on their side of the dorms."
Ochako expressed her agreement. She, alongside Jiro, was known for being friendlier with their male classmates, but neither had any particular desire for their friends to spend time in their rooms. Todoroki would probably ask awkward questions on account of his obliviousness to most social norms. Iida would probably scold her for not being neat enough and she just didn't need that kind of judgement. Deku would... what would Deku do if he was in her room?
"Wow Uraraka-san, your plastic stars are so cool!"
"You really think so Deku-kun?"
"Yeah, I've always admired your love of Astronomy... as well as other things."
"R-Really? L-Like what?"
Deku would probably blush and fidget like the cute nerd he is. Then, maybe he would say...
"You're such a cool hero Uraraka, and your quirk is super cool too." He would reach out to hold her hands next. "Your finger pads are super cute, they really suit you..."
"...I think your pretty cute overall Ochako..."
Then he would lean in slowly and...
Okay, so maybe there was one boy she wouldn't mind having in her room.
Amidst her fantasizing, Hagakure had objected to their class-mom. "Come on Yaomomo! What if one of us wants to have a secret midnight rendezvous?"
Mina grinned sharply, "A bunch of hormonal teenagers under the same roof? I'm sure the teachers are going to have their hands full this semester trying to keep us in line."
Tsu, never one to hold back her thoughts, asked their resident gossip, "Are you implying people are going to try and make out in the dorms Mina?"
Several of the girls blushed, but Mina was only spurred on. "I bet you at least one couple is going to be caught before the semester is over!" She then turned and looked at Ochako with beady eyes, "Whaddya think the chances are someone'll get caught kissing a certain Midoriya Izuku?"
Ochako knew her friend was only teasing her about the crush Mina suspected she had. Still, that wasn't what immediately came to mind.
'Deku gets flustered whenever he's paired with Yaomomo for hero training... What if she was purposefully teasing him?
Tsu would always go on about how heroic Deku was when he saved Mineta and her at the USJ... Does she have a crush on him too?
Todoroki and him had developed a really strong bond very quickly... Bakugou was his childhood friend and acted like a tsundere around him...
Hatsume never respects his personal space and always just feels him up... that trollop touches him like he belongs to her!
Deku doesn't belong to anybody but ME!'
Something within Ochako snapped and her hands curled into fists.
Oblivious to her classmate's angst, Momo loudly shouted, "Mina! We will not have any make out sessions in the dorms!"
Suddenly, everyone was coming over to hear the gossip.
"Oooo! Who's smoochin?" teased Kaminari
"What are you losers talking about? Who would want to make out with you stupid girls?" Bakugou insulted
"I want a kiss!" Mineta whined
"Yeah! Make out party! Love is super manly!" Kirishima seemed hyped
'A make out party?' Ochako looked at Izuku, sandwiched between Todoroki and Mina, either of whom were liable to kiss him on his vulnerable lips. 'I need to make it clear that cute face is off limits.'
"I CALL DIBS ON DEKU!"
The room was silent as Ochako shot up and made a B-line towards the blushing boy.
"W-Wait, U-U-Uraraka!"
Izuku let out a squeak as he was picked up and roughly thrown over his best friend's left shoulder in a fireman carry.
'S-She only activated her quirk halfway through. S-S-So strong!'
"Call me Ochako from now on."
Izuku hid his face in his captor's back and she continued her journey to her room with her prize in tow, not pausing once and keeping a determined fire in her eyes.
Although, it was quite hard to stay focused when she was pretty sure Izuku's overheating face was burning a hole through her shirt.
The common room stayed silent for a good minute after the pair disappeared up the stairs. And then...
"LIKE HELL DEKU'S THE ONLY ONE GETTING SOME ACTION TONIGHT!" Katsuki may be primarily focused on competition in heroics, but he had a crush of his own and he would be damned if Deku surpassed him in the romance department.
"KIRISHIMA! WE'RE HEADING TO MY ROOM!" Katsuki grabbed the redhead's wrist and started to pull him.
Eijiro didn't put up any physical resistance, but did object verbally, "H-Hold on Bakubro! Slow down a little! What are you talking about?!"
Katsuki didn't respond, and disappeared upstairs with his prize just like Ochako did earlier.
It was at this point that chaos erupted.
Everyone started claiming dibs on everyone else. Love rivals were sent flying. Sato and Shoji seemed to simultaneously trying to pick the other up.
"I call dibs on Yaoyorozu!"
"No. Absolutely not Mineta."
"Dibs on Todoroki!" shouted Toru
"What! No way you're hogging the class heartthrob!" objected Mina
Shouto ignored their claims and walked over to the raven-haired heiress.
"Yaoyorozu-san, I think it would be in our mutual best interest if I called dibs on you to prevent any guys from making you uncomfortable." Shouto had a blank face and a flat tone, but his cheeks were tinged pink.
Momo sported a much more pronounced blush. "O-Oh, that does seem beneficial Todoroki-kun."
As the two absconded, their courters turned to pursue others.
Denki nervously shifted closer to Kyouka, "S-So, w-would you mind if I..."
He was cut off by Kyouka shouting, "Dibs on Kaminari!" and throwing him over her shoulder. Grunting, she commented, "Damn, Ochako made this look a lot easier than it is."
Mineta scrambled around with a grin on his face, but all he could see was a huge dust cloud as everyone barreled over him. Mina had made a point that they were a bunch of hormonal teenagers. Even if someone didn't have a particular crush in mind, they saw this as a golden opportunity to experiment or get their first kiss.
With a final, "I better check on Hatsume to ensure the chaos doesn't spread to the other dorms!" from Iida, the common room was left empty, with only Mineta left to fall to his knees and weep.
About 10 minutes later, Aizawa showed up to check on his class, only to see the common room abandoned with only a crying Mineta left behind.
'I specifically told them to be in the common room at 8pm for a quick announcement, which can only mean... damn hormonal teenagers.'
Their homeroom teacher then proceeded to wrangle every single member of class 1-A back into their own rooms. Luckily, he didn't walk in on anyone doing anything more than cuddling. Quite a few students had actually returned to their own rooms alone, confessing that they had gotten caught up in the excitement but weren't really looking for romance at the moment.
Finally, he stopped at Uraraka's door. He had thought he heard something, but figured that the only person she possibly could have ended up with was Midoriya, and the two cinnamon rolls would probably need two hours to stammer out their mutual affection for each other. The problem child needed a break anyways.
Meanwhile, Izuku was really glad that he had learned how to be quiet while hiding from bullies during his childhood.
The Next Morning:
Mina groaned, "Man, I know our sensei is scary, but I always forget how scary he can really be until he actually acts on his threats."
"I know!" Eijiro responded, "Katsuki and I were just cuddling after we confessed our feelings and I was almost suffocated by his capture scarf! I was honestly a little scared when Kats dragged me to his dorm, but it turns out he's just like a grumpy teddy-bear!"
Katsuki, noticeably more subdued this morning, grumbled "Shut up Shitty Hair" in response.
Class 1-A continued to share their gossip about the aftermath of the chaos last night. Bakugou and Kirishima were dating now, as were Kaminari and Jiro. Todoroki and Yaomomo had agreed to 'mutually protect the other from any love interests' but everyone pretty much agreed they were in denial about their relationship.
Mina and Tsuyu had each wondered what it would feel like to kiss a girl, and Mina had concluded she was bisexual while Tsu was going to try and figure out if she was a lesbian or not. Overall, there was quite a lot of revelations about people's sexuality.
Despite the fervor in the common room, nobody had done anything more exciting than cuddle or share a few pecks with their partner.
The atmosphere was awkward, but a bit lighter now that they were all a little bit more intimately connected. Mineta, of course, was still sulking in his room so there was only... 17 students in the common room?
"Wait, where are Midoriya and Uraraka?" questioned Kyouka.
At that moment, a disheveled Ochako appeared in the stairwell. She stopped to turn around and yell, "Izu! Get down here!"
Class 1-A heard another, more distant shout, "Coming honey! Just need to finish getting dressed!"
Ochako went ahead and poured two bowls of cereal. When she sat down on the couch, a beaming Izuku came into the common area.
His smile was wide and unmoving, looking like it was slapped on his face. He wore a baggy t-shirt that hung low and revealed a neck and collarbone that was almost completely purple, with the color extending below his shirt as well.
Ochako patted her lap, saying, "Come here honey."
Izuku trotted over and obediently placed his head in her lap. He closed his eyes and smiled in bliss and his girlfriend ran her fingers through his fluffy locks.
Their classmates whispered to each other, "Shouldn't Midoriya be a blushing mess?" "He's usually so shy around girls." "What happened to their concept of personal space?"
Deciding to find answers to their shared questions, Tsu told her friend, "Ochako, I think you broke Midoriya. He's not even slightly blushing."
Ochako just chuckled and looked down at the young man in her lap. "I just taught him that he deserved to be loved. My boyfriend's a real quick learner. Isn't that right Izu~"
Izuku hummed. Tsuyu swore her fellow greenette honest to God purred when his new girlfriend lightly scratched his scalp.
Mina smirked. "It looks like the make out party was a huge success! We should have one again next year!"
Ochako pressed a kiss to Izuku's forehead and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry Izu; you won't have to wait that long~ I'll be sure to maintain the color of your pretty little neck~"
