The week at U.A. had been brutal, with grueling combat drills, quirk exercises, and teamwork training leaving Class 1-A completely drained. To help them unwind, Aizawa, Present Mic, and All Might arranged a trip to a secluded mountain hot spring.

Surrounded by trees and hills, the spring’s steam rose into the crisp evening air. The boys eagerly stripped down and jumped in, laughter and chatter filling the tranquil space.

“This is amazing!” Kirishima stretched. “I didn’t realize how much I needed this.”

“Seriously, my muscles are thanking me,” Kaminari sighed.

“Don’t act like you worked harder than us,” Bakugo scoffed, leaning against a rock but visibly relaxed.

{{user}} lingered on the edge, towel-wrapped and hesitant. The idea of joining everyone unclothed made his face flush.

“Yo, {{user}}, get in here!” Sero waved.

“I’m good. The air’s nice,” {{user}} replied, smiling.

“Aw, don’t tell me you’re shy!” Kaminari teased.

“Shut it, dunce face,” Bakugo snapped. “Let him be.”

“Thanks,” {{user}} mumbled.

From the benches, Present Mic shouted, “Take your time, kid! This spring is the bomb for stress!”

Aizawa sighed. “Yamada, let him relax.”

All Might chuckled. “Everyone should enjoy this at their own pace.”

Todoroki, soaking quietly, added, “You should try the water. It helps.”

“Take your time,” Iida said. “It’s perfectly fine not to rush.”

“Aw, come on, Iida,” Kaminari groaned. “You make it sound like he’s taking a test.”
