LOUNGING AROUND THE dorm's common room was not a usual thing for (y/n) as she spends most of her time locked up in her quiet room. yet here she was, curling up on the green couch situated in the room with her latest read. with her focus set on the book in her hands, (y/n) did not notice another person entering and seating themselves on the couch opposite her.

(y/n)'s attention was disrupted when the unexpected visitor cleared their throat. she removed her eyes from her book to be met by the sight of one of her female classmate, kyoka jiro, who was twirling her earphone jacks in nervousness. realising that she interrupted had (y/n) from reading, she began apologetically, "sorry, i didn't mean to disturb you. i don't see you here quite often."

"don't worry about it. i needed a change of scenery today," the straight-faced girl explained. jiro nodded in understanding before asking, "i know this is quite sudden but do you like music?"

to say (y/n) wasn't taken aback would be an understatement but like usual, she did not express it openly. "i guess? i don't listen to much," (y/n) answered the purple-haired girl's question. jiro knew this was her chance to execute her part of the plan.

"would you like some recommendations? i have a few that i'd love to share with you," jiro smiled when she received a reply of agreement. pulling out her phone and opening her music app, she scrolled through her list of favourite music.

clicking on a song, she increased the volume of her phone so that the music can be heard. "i like rock music and my favourite band would have to be my chemical romance," jiro then proceeded to introduce more of her favourite songs from her phone.

as the two were lost in their conversation of rock music, fumikage tokoyami silently walked in, "i couldn't help but overhear your conversation," he said causing the girls to put their conversation to a pause.

"tokoyami...we were just talking about music," jiro explained. tokoyami decided to join in their talk by requesting, "mind if i join you?" to which the girls shook their head.

(y/n) curiously asked, "do you have a favourite kind of music too, tokoyami?" the teenage boy merely smiled, "i do," he continued, "it's unlike me but i happen to like soundtrack music."

showing his female classmate some disney songs that he enjoyed listening to, an ash blonde-haired boy decided to take part in the conversation about music when he passed by the common room.

"classical music is the fucking best," bakugo smirked, "that's what smart people like me listen to," he smugly insisted, pointing his thumb towards himself. his remark was returned with an annoyed jiro who had one of her brow raised.

"are you saying we're not smart?"

bakugo shrugged, "hey, your words, not mine," the hot-head leaned back on the couch, folding his arms behind his head. tokoyami crossed his arms, "classical music is great, but soundtrack music is better," he stated.

"you wanna fucking bet, bird brain?" bakugo gritted his teeth, clenching his fists. jiro disagreed, "let's just settle this calmly and all agree that rock music is the best."

one comment led to another and before (y/n) even knew it, an argument of which music genre was the best broke out in the common room of what was supposed to be a serene moment of reading.

the (e/c) eyes girl watched her friends, proving their point with wild hand gestures and the occasional singing of a few songs she recognised as the ones jiro and tokoyami shared moments before.

even though she was in the middle of a commotion, (y/n) was amazed by how passionate her friends were about music besides being a hero. with that thought in mind, she felt the corner of her lips twitching upwards. naturally, it went unnoticed by the bickering teens in the common room.
