Shinso opened the door with his usual tired expression, one hand still shoved into the pocket of his hoodie.

You shrugged your boots off, stepping inside. His room was exactly what you'd expected..dimly lit, neat enough to be lived in, textbooks stacked on his desk beside a dirty mug of coffee. He had a few cat keychains and lots of coffee stains. It wasn't the first time you've been here, you've actually had sleepovers, but it still amused you in some way. A soft silence settled between you, comfortable rather than awkward.

"You sure the others are coming?" you asked, looking around the room, you decided to sit on his desk chair thingy-

"Impatient, they'll come in a second..."Shinsou replied dryly, cleaning the room a little

...

"why are you cleaning it? They'll definitely destroy it, why invite them?

"Because you said you wanted them to come"

"Right i didn't know they'd come late asf...when are they coming again?"

Almost on cue, a knock, then another echoed through the room. Shinso sighed too dramatically before getting up to open the door. Denki bounced inside first, grinning from ear to ear.

"Heyyyooo!"

Neito followed right behind him with a theatrical smile, brushing imaginary dust from his sleeve

"I still don't know why I was invited, but clearly its obvious that this gathering would rather be incomplete without me"

"He invited you because He wanted to get closer" Shinso deadpanned, pointing at you.

Denki looked around, he touched some posters, looking at some textbooks, he already made himself at home opening drawers, he might've already knocked some coffee and books but shinso's used to it...When he found the holy grail of manga, he just started reading immediately

While Neito kept judging dramatically

"My room is wayyy better, cheap posters and these books?..ah, not even readable! It's almost as bad as class A's stuff"

-Bang

...

Another bang

"Did somebody die or is the lousy Class A making noise?" Neito asked, putting his ear on the door to eavesdrop.

Bang

"Oh thats bakugo" Denki replied, making neito back up from the door.

The door swung wide open without so much as another knock. Katsuki stood in the doorway with his usual scowl, his eyebrows furrowed.

"The hell is taking so long?" he barked. "I've been standing outside because you idiots wouldn't answer the damn door."
"When were you even there.." You muttered. Katsuki ignored you, pushing past everyone with a grunt.

"Tch. Cramped as hell in here."

"You chose to come," Shinso replied.

"I came because Dumbass"-he yanked an accusatory finger at Denki-"wouldn't stop blowing up my phone, telling me to meet up"

"I sent you one text!"

"It felt like a thousand"

The room fell into a familiar rhythm of bickering almost instantly. Denki complained, Neito added fuel to the fire with smug little comments, Katsuki snapped back at both of them, while Shinso pinched the bridge of his nose..you weren't any better, if anything you have the same temper as bakugo, you just hid it better.

Bakugo started peeking at what your writing, he's finding an excuse to be angry at this point, he notices your handwriting while looking over your shoulder

"You write like shit"

You cover the notebook, and whatever you were writing

"Katsuki shut the hell up. im trying to focus here

you weren't really doing anything important, just scribbling some words on a note

Katsuki looked offended as hell. His fiery crimson eyes snapped toward you sl fast it was comical, eyebrows knitting/furrowing together as if you were a villain who just murdered his entire family. Slowly, he turned his whole body to face you.

"...What did you just say?"

You didn't even bother looking up from your notebook

"I said" you repeated, dragging out each word as you continued scribbling, "shut up. Because I'm trying to focus."

A beat of silence between everybody.

Denki looked between the two of you with wide eyes.

"..Uh.."

"You got a death wish or something?" Katsuki barked

"No," you answered flatly. "i'm doing my peaceful and relaxing writing and you decided to ruin that"

"Oh dear. They've known each other for approximately five minutes and he's already insulting him, class A is clearly setting a bad example."

Katsuki snapped back, it might have been one sided. "The hell's your problem?"

"My problem," you replied, finally looking up, "is that every sentence out of your mouth sounds like you're trying to win an argument that doesn't exist"

"It exists now"

"You made it exist"

"You started it!"

"I only told you to stop yelling"

"I wasn't yelling"

"I'll blow your damn face off"

"There it is again," you sighed dramatically, pointing at him. "High ass voice"

"My high voice?"

"You've only got one voice volume"

"Tch, Better than sounding half asleep."

"Ouch," Denki muttered, you gave him a glare before narrowing your eyes at katsuki "Oh? So now we're making comments about my voice?"

"I'm making comments about your whole attitude"

"My attitude's perfectly fine, unlike yours. Your attitude needs fixing."

"It doesn't"

"It really does"

"It doesn't"

"Atleast I dont ca-"

"Oh my God," Shinsou groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. "You two are bickering like an old couple"

Neither of you acknowledged him, Katsuki stepped closer, glaring down at you. "You can't say anything about my attitude like-"

"You've got the temper of a brittle glass" You interrupted. "And somehow you still think you're intimidating"

A crooked grin tugged at Katsuki's lips for the briefest moment before disappearing just as quickly.

"Bakugo..You've got a lotta nerve, you always this annoying?"

"Only around people who deserve it."

"You saying I deserve it?"

"I thought that part was obvious."

Neito stepped between the two of you with an exaggerated sigh, as if he had been forced to spread the news to you

"As entertaining as this is, I'd rather not get traumatised and witness a murder inside Shinsou's dorm. It would be terribly difficult to explain that a lowly class 1-A student killed another student"

"I'm not gonna kill em," Katsuki muttered

"tch you better not"

"tsk"

You and Katsuki shot each other one last glare before looking away from eachother, deciding that katsuki was probably the most irritating person you'd ever met and will meet.

Then you went on about to continue writing whatever you were.

Everyone seemed to go on calmly and nicely, Neito kept his high ego, denki laughed at almost every sentence and katsuki was abruptly annoying..Now if you really wanted to be true to yourself

You only planned this to get closer to katsuki, using shinso, your best friend, as a pivot point to get on bakugo's good side..and you didn't come off the right foot..
