Chapter 27 |The Group Chat



Deku's Pov.


ย  He clicked on the "Guest" profile and looked over the movies that they could watch.


ย  After a little talking, they chose an action film that both of them had already seen to watch.


ย  Everything was quiet except for the movie playing. A nice serene kind of place. Kind of like the restaurant, but unlike it, it was just him and Uraraka together. There was no kidnapping and he could rest easier.


ย  "And this is where the villain starts plotting against the hero," Deku thought aloud. He didn't mean to say it loud enough for Uraraka to hear, but she did.


ย  "Yeah!" Uraraka agreed, "And next is the part where he sends a few of his minions to show that he waged war on the hero, though the hero has no clue who the villain is yet."


ย  They both burst out laughing.


ย  "I'm guessing you've seen this movie more than once?" Deku asked.


ย  "Like you're one to talk," she responded jokingly.


ย  Maybe half an hour in, he decided to go back to his dorm to get to sleep.


ย  Deku stood up, ready to leave. He turned around.


ย  He felt warmth on his hand.


ย  Turning around, he realized it was her hand on his.


ย  His face turned red.


ย  "Are you leaving already?" Uraraka looked kind of sad. She started playing with a strand of her hair.


ย  "Well, you look kind of tired, and I didn't want to keep you up all night," Deku reasoned.


ย  "If I'm not being selfish, could you please stay a little longer?" Uraraka pleaded to Deku.


ย  "Alright," he nodded his head.


ย  Deku sat back down next to Uraraka and they continued watching the movie.


ย  Uraraka closed her eyes, then sat up with a start trying to stay awake. It continued like that for a little while.


ย  He felt something warm fall on his left side and looked to see what it was.


ย  It was Uraraka!


ย  'She must fall asleep during movies a lot...'


ย  He remembered the sleepover and how she drifted to sleep then too.


ย  Deku's expression softened.


ย  'Wait a minute... How am I going to get back up if I don't want to wake her..?'


ย  Deku thought about it.


ย  'Well... I could watch the movie until it's over because it'll end soon, then I can turn it off and see what happens.'


ย  He closed his eyes and blinked them open.


ย  Deku tried to stay awake, but instead nodded off to sleep himself, and it wasn't a light one, but a deep peaceful sleep.


ย  Morning light awakened him.


ย  Deku didn't feel like he was in his bed... Did he ever make it there last night?


ย  He could hear the soft sound of light snoring... It wasn't his though... Someone was sleeping next to him.


ย  He blinked his eyes open to see where he was.ย 


ย  Everyone stared at him. Wait, his classmates were looking at him? Deku really didn't make it to his bed.


ย  He noticed that some of the girls next to him were looking at him excitedly and whispering while everyone else just stared.


ย  There was something warm next to him leaning on his shoulder.


ย  He turned his head.


ย  'Uraraka!?'




Uraraka's Pov.


ย  Morning light made her eyes blink open.


ย  She wasn't in her bed... It looked like the common area in front of the TV.


ย  There was something warm next to her. It was comforting and a little familiar, but not too familiar.


ย  'What is that..?'


ย  Uraraka looked next to her to see Deku's bright red face.


ย  'Deku!? Did he sleep here the whole night? With me..?'


ย  She sat up with a start and her face turned red and she realized her classmates were staring at them.


ย  'How long were they just watching for?!'


ย  "Took you long enough to wake up," Jiro commented.ย 


ย  "I think that if we didn't wake them up, they would have been comfortable sleeping together the whole day," Mina snickered.


ย  'Maybe...'


ย  "I- Um- You've- Um- Hehe... Funny story..." Deku stuttered and chuckled.


ย  'Is there any way I can help the situation?'


ย  "Yeah, it- You- I- It's hard to explain..." Uraraka tried.


ย  'Guess not...'


ย  Mina walked over to Uraraka. She started tapping at her phone and then she showed her a picture of them leaning on each other while they slept.


ย  'We look like a couple together!'


ย  A feeling of happiness and embarrassment ran through her at the same time.


ย  Her face went crimson at the sight of that.


ย  Mina drew her phone back to her body to do something else.


ย  When Mina showed her screen again, Uraraka realized Mina had posted that picture on the class group chat!


ย  And something else... A video!


ย  Mina scrolled down and she realized that a lot of people said that they looked really cute together and / or they were coming down to see.


ย  Uraraka's face turnedย  a darker crimson.


ย  She looked back at Deku who was on his phone, she guessed someone had told him to go on the group chat.


ย  Uraraka saw him starting to look at the chat and his face go redder when he saw it.


ย  "H-How long were you guys j-just watching us..?" she questioned loud enough for everyone to hear.


ย  "I was down here first about an hour ago, and then right after I saw you guys, which was about right after I came down," Toru explained as she put her gloved pointer finger to her mouth, "And then the girls came down immediately, Bakugo read it but didn't say anything, and then everyone else started trickling in."


ย  Deku just looked like he couldn't speak even though his mouth was open. He also looked like he was about to faint out of embarrassment.


ย  "Oh, are you guys coming to the sleepover?" Momo whispered loud enough for only the two of them to hear. She probably did that so Kaminari and Mineta didn't hear.


ย  "We'll see..." they said together at the same time.


ย  "Aww," everyone else spoke in unison earning a deeper blush from the pair.
