Kaminari is splayed upside down on the couch, head nearly touching the floor as he dramatically groans, “I’m bored out of my mind. Someone entertain me before my brain melts out of my ears.”
Mina, perched cross-legged on the armrest, flicks a popcorn kernel at his face. “Then stop lying upside down like a sad bat and play Smash Bros with us!”
“Only if I can be Pikachu!” Kaminari perks up immediately, flopping over and scrambling for a controller.
“Too late!” Sero calls, already halfway through a match with Kirishima. “You snooze, you lose.”
Across the room, Todoroki sits on the carpet near the coffee table, quietly building a meticulously balanced card tower. Midoriya kneels beside him, holding his phone out like a sports commentator. “And with this card, Todoroki Shoto attempts the most daring move yet—will the tower stand?”
“It won’t,” Bakugo grunts from the kitchen area, where he’s aggressively whisking something in a bowl. “You're breathing too loud. It’s gonna fall.”
Just as Bakugo says it, Uraraka leans too close while trying to see, and the whole tower collapses in a soft papery puff.
Todoroki blinks. “Tragic.”
“I’m sorry!” Uraraka yelps. “I didn’t mean to! You can rebuild it, right?”
“I suppose I can,” he says stoically, gathering cards again.
Jirou, lounging with a blanket and her earbuds in one ear, smirks as she strums her bass quietly. “You guys are such dorks.”
Yaoyorozu walks in with a tray of homemade fruit tarts. “I made these if anyone wants something sweet—please take one before Mineta eats five again.”
Mineta, who had just reached out with a greedy hand, freezes. “I have… self-control. I swear.”
Tokoyami, curled up with Dark Shadow near the bookshelf, mutters, “Your lies darken the room more than my presence ever could.”
“Dramatic much?” Hagakure giggles, the plate she’s holding floating in the air as she moves toward the others. “Oooh, Yaomomo! These look amazing!”
Near the window, Iida is trying to maintain order, waving his arms as he lectures. “Please be cautious with the controllers! That is school property! Kaminari, no eating near the electronics!”
“But I can multitask!” Kaminari says with a full mouth as he dodges another popcorn toss from Mina.
