The servant dorms were in chaos.

"How's it gonna work, though... you're still an assassin, right?"

"Uh... that's... a good question..."

"Either way, you're a Hero now!"

"Good work, Stachel!"

"This calls for a celebratory feast!"

"N-no, it doesn't-"

She perked up, recalling something.

"What's up?" Isogai hummed, "did you remember something?"

"She should be dropping by any minute now..."

"'She'?"

The door burst open, revealing the blonde in much more casual wear, a white jumper loosely hanging over her shoulders with baggy black pants.

"Oh, it's the bitch," Karma stated nonchalantly, an irk mark appearing on her head.

"Do I need to teach you how to say it? It's Jelavić, not Jela-"

"Same thing," the boy yawned, ignoring her growl, "you finished your mission, huh? Took you long enough, though I wish you struggled a bit more."

"K-Karma..." tried Nagisa

"Have you met the rest of the staff yet?" Maehara cut in, just as desperate to stop the pair from continuing their banter.

"Hm?" she gave them a side-glance, "yup!"

Oh dear... I just realised...

"What's that look for, huh?" Irina accused.

"You and Midnight must get along pretty well, huh?"

The servants paled, coming to the same conclusion.

"Midnight?" she raised a brow, "oh! Yes, I love her, her sense of fashion is so amazing, and I love her personality!"

Aizawa... Karasuma... I'm so sorry...

"Oh, how's Shindo, by the way?"

"It's... it's been 2 hours..."

"Yeah, but he has your number~" she sang, smirking as Karma and Rio's eyes immediately shone with mischief, the girl sighing as the pair slowly made their way towards her.

"He's just a friend, I-"

Her heart skipped a beat.

"Hey, uh, Rie?" The said girl turned to see Kirishima hesitantly gazing at her. "What's... what's your relationship with Shindo like?"

"Huh?" she blinked, "Kirishima, I thought you and Bakugo were-"

"Oh, no, it's... Todoroki..." he stumbled, watching the girl's face fall slightly, "he... um..."

"He's jealous, isn't he..."

"That's one way to put it, I suppose..." he scratched the back of his head, "well... he might be coming to see you tonight, who knows?"

"Guys..." whispered Nagisa, realising why she had suddenly gone quiet, "her and... him."

"Ah-" froze Karma, stealing a side-glance, "we're-"

"No, it's fine..." she sighed, heading towards the elevator as the servants watched helplessly, "if... if he drops by..."

"Do we send him to your room?"

The girl remained silent, entering the elevator.

"Sure."

There was silence among the servants.

"Who's this 'him' we're talking about?"

~TIMESKIP~

The girl groaned, scowling at her phone as it incessantly pinged with messages from the Big 3 congratulating her - it was mainly Nejire and Mirio who were spamming the group chat after she had sent them a photo of her Hero ID card.

"Coming!" she whisper-yelled, rolling off the bed and sitting up and walking over to the door, swinging it open and not fully registering who was waiting outside, "hey, do you need any-"

Her hand remained over the doorknob, her eyes widening as she did a double-take.

"Hey, Rie," the quiet voice of Shoto Todoroki greeted, his heterochromatic eyes unwavering.
