9: Dates

Ochaco's POV

I was down in the kitchen with Tsu making breakfast for anyone that wanted some. Kirishima came down a little after seven o'clock. He said he would wait for Bakugo to come down so they can eat together.

Bakugo came down about ten minutes later. Deku and Todoroki game down together five minutes after him. As they ate I realized there were even more couples spread around the room. Kirishima and Bakugo, Todoroki and Deku, Shinso and Kaminari, Momo and Jirou, and even Tsu and I were starting to date. Seeing all of them together gave me an idea. So, after me and Tsu were done eating I told the teachers my plan. It was already Sunday so we couldn't go till the next Saturday. But once it was approved we told the rest of the couples. To make sure they didn't plan anything else.

"Okay is everyone listening to me? We are going to play a game. For purposes of some people have more money than others, there will be a budget of $150 per person for this game. We will go to the mall and we're going to split up into groups of two. You have to find at least 1 Item in each of these categories for your partner. Favorite color, favorite drink, favorite food, something you think they need, and something you want them to try. If anyone wants to go to another store after the mall then we will go. Any questions?"

"Who is in the groups we're going shopping with?"

"Deku with Bakugo, Todoroki with Kirishima, Momo with Tsu, Jirou with Kaminari, and Shinso is with me."

Eijiro's POV

I wonder what Katsuki had to go see Midoriya for so early in the morning. Maybe Todoroki knows since he's dating Midoriya.

"Hey, Todoroki. Did Midoriya tell you anything about talking with Katsuki this morning?"

"Yes, Bakugo came over to talk to Izuku this morning. Why do you ask?"

"Well, Kat saw some alerts from a heart rate app then ran off saying he had to go talk to Midoriya. He just seemed really worried and I wanted to know if everything was okay. That's all."

"Hey, everything's fine. If you want more details you will have to talk to the two of them for more information." I talked to the two of them later and got the whole story. As the week went by Shoto, Izuku, Kat, and I hung out more. Training sessions, studying, or just playing truth or dare.

When the day finally came for the big shopping trip we load up into the class minibus and went to the mall.

"So what are you going to get Midoriya for this challenge?" I ask Shoto after everyone had split into their groups.

"His favorite color is green so for that I'll get him a stuffed green bunny, his favorite food is Katsudon, his Favorite drink is green tea, he needs a new notebook his is getting full, and I want him to try pumpkin candies. How about Bakugo, what are you getting him?"

"His favorite color is orange so I'm getting him an orange Hoodie, his favorite food is spicy chicken, his favorite drink is orange Gatorade, he needs a new candle, and I want him to try a black magic lemonade."

"Okay, then what Store do you wanna go to first?"

"Let's go to build a Bear first to get the green bunny"

Denki got Hitoshi a purple Gengar hoodie, a burrito, coffee, an anti-anxiety bracelet (it also helps insomnia), and a coffee cake pop.

But while everyone else was enjoying their gifts someone was watching and their plan was about to be set in motion.
