"I'm so glad that I get to go to school with you, Izu~!" Himi exclaims from her seat on my lap while excitedly kicking her legs in the air, her arms wrapped around my neck. "And the way you basically told Nezu that we'd be together whether he liked it or not was so hot~," she purrs as she nuzzles her face into my neck.
I can't help but chuckle before kissing the top of her head. "Himi, we both know the rat was always going to put us in the same class, he just likes his little games too much to come outright and say it." A smirk pulls the corners of my lips up. "Though, it's probably a good thing none of the staff was there to witness it. They would have been in shock at how casually the three of us ignored their boss!"
Himi rolls her eyes before giving me a pointed look. "And how many of them have seen you go off on a quirk tangent?"
"…Point taken." I'm pretty sure that I've actually only gone on a quirk tangent around Midnight and Present Mic. I just can't help but feel like they can do so much more with their quirks than they do! Like Midnight: why can't she get support equipment to condense her gas so she can send a more powerful sleeping gas at her opponents? Not only would they get knocked out quicker, but it would also reduce the risk of bystanders getting caught!
Don't even get me started on Present Mic's quirk! He's always using it to attack, defend, or communicate! Does he even consider the fact that being able to freely manipulate the sound waves he produces could let him copy what people with other voice quirks do? No! Still, he's not the worst when it comes to quirk creativity. I really can't believe how much of a fan of Eraserhead I was when I was a kid, he's such a jerk. And the support he has for his quirk is so basic! All anyone has to do is through dirt in his eyes to stop it! Get rid of those stupid holes on the goggles!
"Are you excited to meet everyone?" I ask Himi, pushing my mental complaints about the so-called teacher out of my mind. "There are a few people I think you'll get along super well with! I'm pretty sure, er…" I blink for a moment, blanking on that one girl's name. I know the hero name she chose since I convinced Midnight to let her use it, but- "Ashido! That's her name," I snap my fingers. "I'm pretty sure you and Ashido will get along well. Well, except for the fact that she's friends with Izumi."
Himi shrugs before saying in a sing-song voice, "Nobody's perfect~, you live and you learn it~."
I raise an eyebrow at what are definitely song lyrics I haven't heard before, but shrug it off a moment later. It's been a few weeks, we've both had to find other things to do with our time. Himi listened to random songs. I started sneaking into people's rooms to steal their underwear and frame other students as perverts. Nobody we cared about got hurt, so it's not really something that needs to be brought up. Though I'll probably have to stop now that Eri is on campus, given how I don't want any risk of her getting corrupted. Which is partially why she's up in our new dorm rooms instead of staying down here to meet the class! Well, that and the fact she's shy. When she visited last time doesn't count according to her since she didn't expect to ever have to talk to any of them ever again, so she's counting the next time she meets them as the first time.
Anyway, speaking of perverts, Himi being here will make the grape's 'correction' all the better since she was there too~.
"There's also Jiro and Kaminari who kind of feed off of each other's personalities. Jiro also seems to be friends with Yaoyorozu too, so she'll be able to play mediator if anything pops up." I frown and rest my chin on top of Himi's head when I feel her lose her patience and sink her fangs into my neck to drink my blood. Really, I'm surprised she managed to hold out so long. "Though I'm convinced that there's something off about her quirk, I have no idea what it is, but I know there's something!"
Himi makes a noise of acknowledgement without withdrawing her fangs. I'm about to remind her not to overdo it until it's time for bed, but at that moment the sound of raised voices reaches my ears and I perk up. "Oooh, they're here! You ready, Himi?"
It takes another moment before she responds, but she does withdraw her fangs and lets out a sigh of disappointment. "Fiiine." She leans in close as I hear the dorm's door rattle in its frame and confused questions about it being locked. "But don't think you'll be getting away tonight~. You're going to have to fill yourself back up at least twice by the time the sun rises~."
I barely manage to fight off the blush by the time someone unlocks the door and pushes it open. Then the students fall silent, and I know that they've seen me. I spin the chair I'm sitting in around and give the group an arrogant smirk. In my lap Himi sits crosswise, her legs thrown across the armrest while leaning back, supporting her upper half only with the arms around my neck, and my arm around her waist. "I've been waiting for you… heroes."
It's the perfect picture of a villainous mastermind greeting his enemies after they've finally managed to track him down to his hidden lair, except that villain presses a button and reveals that they knew that the heroes knew and set up a trap for them. Too bad Mei was busy, I was really hoping that I would have a button to push right now.
The heroes (in training) themselves just stare at me in surprise for a moment, silent. Even Kachan doesn't seem to know how to react, his face ranging from confused anger to annoyed anger. It's not very surprising when the silence is broken by the one who's closest to me, her voice cold enough that there's a visible frosty mist emanating from her. "Hello, Izuku." The others rapidly get out of her way as she walks towards us, her head lowered so her hair covers her face. "I don't think we've been introduced, who is this?"
I ignore Izumi's whispered 'oh shit' to grin at my first real friend. "Oh, this is Himiko Toga," I bounce Himi a little with the arm around her waist and briefly wonder why I just heard a growl, "she's from the LoV and is joining 1-A from today onward!"
I don't hear whatever it is that Shoko says next, her words buried under the outraged shouts of the rest of the students. And that's just the initial reaction, it doesn't even take a minute for them to start shouting at each other. Some about having to deal with a second villain in their class, others at the first group for being close minded. In fact, they seem so mad about the fact Himi will be joining us that they don't seem to notice that Shoko freezes all their feet to the floor, or that Himi jumps from my lap and drags Shoko out to another room.
"A-hem," I clear my throat loudly, trying to get their attention. When that doesn't work I contemplate digging the grenade out of where it replaced my kidney and holding it up as a threat, but luckily Yaoyorozu makes a megaphone that she holds the trigger on, the screeching sound forcing the others to shout in pain and hold their hands over their ears. I give the heiress a smile and a nod before turning to the others.
"Thank you kindly, m'lady." I clap my hands. "Now, the decision has already been made, none of your opinions on whether or not she joins our class matter. But just keep in mind," the grin abruptly falls from my face as I give them all a murderous glare. "Hurt her, and the threat I made to you all last week about Eri's quirk will be carried out." I let another grin stretch my lips, one that's very, very ominous, I know, I've practiced it to make sure. "Oh, and Eri will be staying at the dorm with the two of us as well. If you hurt her, the threat I made will look pleasant compared to what I do to you. Is that understood?"
There's silence from them, so I narrow my eyes, enunciating each clipped word. "Is. That. Understood." The rapid head nods are good enough for me… for now. I clap my hands and let my threatening aura dissipate. "Good! Now-"
My words are interrupted by two Shokos coming back from the room Himi and her disappeared into, causing me to raise an eyebrow and look between the two. The one on the left is the first to answer. "We want to see if you can tell who the real one is."
The one on the right continues. "But instead of saying who the fake is, you have to kiss them."
"On the lips," the left one finishes.
My second eyebrow raises to join the second one in its surprise as I look between the two of them. "And… you both decided you were ok with that?" Himi and I have played this game a few times before when we take a third partner to bed, though it's pretty easy since I'm so familiar with my girlfriend. Really, it's more to build up the excitement of our third partner than anything else. Though I am surprised that it didn't even take five minutes for her to convince Shoko to participate. Then again, it's not like we're actually taking Shoko to bed, so I guess it's all in good fun. Though I really didn't think Himi could convince her to do something like this after a five minute conversation.
Still, they both nod, so it's fine, I suppose. I shrug, not hesitating to step forward and wrap an arm around the Shoko on the right, bringing her close and grabbing her chin to lower her head while raising my own to reach her lips. I close the distance and lock our lips together, feeling a rush of amusement as her eyes widen visibly enough that the others (shocked silent at how little I hesitate, presumably) can probably see it as well. I make sure to put all the practice I have into the kiss, though since we're in public with an audience I also make sure not to overdo it like I would if Himi and I were about to have a threesome. Plus I don't want to embarrass her and ruin our friendship.
I have to say though, the blush that takes over her cheeks is rather adorable. Not that she's never not adorable, but the blush really does ramp it up to the next level. Regrettably, this isn't a pre-sex game, so I pull away without building it up, turning to Himi-Shoko and smirking, which falters a bit as she smirks back. I look between her and Shoko for a moment before nodding that I did kiss the right one and pointing at her.
"Nice try, but you aren't going to make me think I lost the game!"
She snorts and shakes her head. "Not why I'm smirking, Izu~."
I let my eyes narrow in suspicion, looking back at Shoko whose left cheek has burst into flame and the right grown a coating of ice. Even with the accidental quirk activation, though, the deep red of her blush is still visible. Seeing me look, it somehow manages to deepen even further as her quirk flares again, ice and flames now enveloping her hair. "You're a good kisser."
I blink in realization, but before I can respond and offer her lessons she turns and runs up the stairs to the girl's rooms. Tilting my head, I turn to Himi-Shoko to ask about that before the grape decides to make a comment. One that is inexcusable.
"I know what I'm dreaming about tonight."
My lips pull back in a snarl as I round on the midget, and everyone takes a step away, clearing the space around for the quickly paling boy. I've put this off for too long, it ends now.
