Bakugou has had enough for the week. Not only did he fail his exam, but he was also confused about Reiko.

The guys kept saying he had feelings for her, but he didn't know. He had never had feelings for a girl before.

He closed himself in his room for some time to think.

He didn't have feelings for Reiko. Why would he?

Sure, she was pretty, had a cool quirk, was nice and strong, and just his type but-

Oh God, maybe he did have feelings for her.

So what now? She surely doesn't like him back, I mean he's rude and always sweaty.

He can't just tell her, that's... well... there's nothing wrong with it, he just can't tell her. That's it.

He just needed something to distract himself with. At first, he wanted to train but the gym was full and so was the backyard so he decided to study.

Except he'd already done his homework. What else was there? He could take a walk and listen to some music, which would calm him down some.

Reiko was making some Ramen in the kitchen when she heard they had homework she hadn't done yet. "Shit, really? I totally forgot." She looked over to Mina.

"It was hard as hell! And due tomorrow." Mina rubbed her temples. "Oh, Bakugou! Is your math homework done?"

"Of course it is, dumbass!" He was almost out the door when he answered. "Can you give it to me?" "No. Do it yourself." "Come oonn! Please?" Reiko pouted her lips and Bakugou didn't find the strength in himself to say no.

"It's in my room." He hesitated before speeding outside to escape the rest who didn't do it.

This left Reiko thinking. She's never been in his room, who knows what he's hiding. He didn't let anyone see it either.

She washed her hands before entering. Reiko was somewhat expecting the worst, but to her surprise, it was the opposite.

Bakugou's room was neat. He had a few posters and figurines here and there but what shocked Reiko the most was the number of romance books and manga he had.

He even had the Twilight books.

His room smelt a bit burned, but nice in a way. His notebook was on his bed which Reiko took and left immediately.

"Bet his room is a mess." Mina chuckled. The two girls were in Reiko's room, copying Bakugou's homework.

"It isn't, it was pretty nice. He has a bunch of romance stuff." She shrugged. "No way! He totally seems like he wouldn't like romantic things." Mina giggled.

"Yeah, I'm surprised he even let me in."

"He probably likes you." Mina smirked. "Probably doesn't." Reiko glared at her paper. "Wait, do you like him?" Mina asked.

A few moments of silence later, Reiko answered with a no. "At least I don't think so. We've only met a few weeks ago anyway." She shrugged.

"But then again, I don't know what it would feel like." She chewed on her pen. "For starters, you want to, or don't mind, spending time with him."

Check.

"He makes you laugh."

Check.

"Oh my..." Reiko's eyes widened. "But that's just the romantic stuff. It's different for everyone." Mina rambled on. "For you, he probably makes you want to be better, or you like fighting with him or something."

"And what do I do if I like him?" Reiko asked, which made Mina stop in her tracks. "Oh my God, you do like him!" She screamed. "Shh!! Don't be loud!" Reiko shushed her at once.

"Well, you tell him." Mina shrugged. "What? What if he doesn't like me?"

"There's no way he doesn't like you, Reiko. You're gorgeous, smart, nice, and strong. If he doesn't like you, he's probably gay." Mina smiled.

Silence filled the air as Reiko got lost in her thoughts. "I'll wait a bit." She sighed. "Good idea. I'll be cheering." A sly smirk was apparent on Mina's lips.

"Don't cheer too loud." Reiko chuckled. "Are you finished? I'll give his notebook back." Reiko changed the subject. "Yep."

Bakugou was already back from his walk and had already showered. He was lying in his bed, thinking when a knock came from outside.

He pondered on who it could be and for what, then he realized he let Reiko in his room.

"Thanks, again." Reiko smiled once he opened the door. She handed him his notebook. "Yeah don't expect it again." He grumbled but didn't close the door yet.

"If you ever tell anyone about my room, you're dead." He didn't know what he expect as an answer but it was definitely not; "Sure, if you let me borrow a few books."

"Whatever, good night." He scowled before closing his door. Reiko giggled as she made her way back to her room.

It was already past curfew, so everyone was in their rooms.

Reiko went to sleep happily as this week has been successful.
