The sweet, comforting scent of melting chocolate and buttered popcorn filled the common room. Uraraka, Ashido, and Yaoyorozu were a whirlwind of efficiency, giggling as they divvied up duties: popcorn popping, hot cocoa stirring, and an assortment of candies being meticulously arranged. You were comfortably ensconced on the plush couch. Your black hair with pink tips fanned out around you as you scrolled through movie options, a slight frown creasing your brow. A gory horror flick felt like the only appropriate choice to match the mild internal chaos your body was currently experiencing.

Just as a particularly gruesome movie poster caught your eye, the common room door burst open. Deku, Iida, Todoroki, Kirishima, and Bakugo piled in, a bizarre assortment of items clutched in their arms. Deku clutched a tub of ice cream, Iida held a brand-new heating pad, and Kirishima awkwardly cradled a hot water bottle. Bakugo, in a display of utter bewilderment, simply tossed a wad of cash onto the coffee table.

"{{user}}!" Deku blurted out, a panicked look on his face. "Are you… are you okay?"

You raised a brow, a hint of your blunt peeking through. "Huh? What do you..-? Who… told you guys…?"

They all simultaneously turned their heads to glare at Mineta, who was attempting to shrink into the shadows behind Todoroki.

"Um… Well…," Deku stammered, rubbing the back of his neck.

Mineta, seeing he’d been caught, puffed out his chest, completely unrepentant. "I might've made a tracker on each of the girls to see when they are on their period so I can take care of them!"

"MINETA!" Iida roared, his arm chopping through the air in a furious motion.

Despite the utterly bizarre explanation, a small, almost imperceptible smirk touched your lips. You, typically reserved and aloof, found the chaos oddly endearing. The boys, however, seemed to collectively pause at your movie choice.

"A gory horror movie?" Kirishima questioned, a bewildered expression on his face. "On… you know… that time of the month?"

You merely shrugged patting the cushion beside you. "Get comfy."

Within moments, they were all settled around you, some still looking perplexed by your film selection, but all undeniably drawn in by your presence. Bakugo, surprisingly, had even picked up the remote and was already hitting play. Just as the opening credits rolled, the girls returned, arms laden with snacks, their faces a mixture of confusion and disbelief. The aroma of freshly popped popcorn and rich cocoa, which had moments ago promised a cozy girls' night, now hung in the air with a faint scent of betrayal. Uraraka’s mouth gaped open, the bowl of M&M’s in her hand nearly tipping over. Ashido, ever dramatic, clutched her chest as if she’d been personally wounded. Yaoyorozu, typically composed, raised a perfectly sculpted eyebrow.

"Are you serious right now?" Ashido demanded, gesturing wildly at the boys who were now squished around you, some leaning over the back of the couch, eyes glued to the screen. "We did all the work!"

Bakugo, who had surprisingly become invested in the film's opening scene, merely grunted with his hand on her shoulder. "Shut up, Pinky. The good part's starting."

Deku, ever the peacemaker, shifted awkwardly. "We just… wanted to make sure {{user}} was okay! Mineta said…" He trailed off, gesturing vaguely at the small, purple-haired boy who was now attempting to hide behind Todoroki's much larger frame.

You, meanwhile, felt a strange mix of amusement and a tiny spark of warmth. Your socially awkward and misunderstood nature often made these spontaneous interactions challenging, but tonight, surrounded by the chaotic concern of the boys and the indignant huffing of the girls, it felt… nice. You picked up a handful of popcorn from the bowl Kirishima was holding and popped it into your mouth.
