"Oh hey Shinso!" Kira waved to the boy when she passed him in the hall. "You going to lunch break?"
"Uh... Yeah." Shinso said slowly. Looking from her to the rest of her group.
"Yo! Come sit with us!" Denki said, standing beside Kira with a smile.
"I usually eat with Tammy..." He mumbled, glancing around.
"She can come too!" Kira and Mina both invited.
"I feel a little bad for that chick. How she talked about no one liking her... I'm determined to be her friend!" Mina smiled at Shinso. "She seems nice!"
"Why are we asking out Insomnia and Wednesday Adams?!" Bakugou thought, glancing away with a scoff. Kira elbowed him subtly.
"Um... Maybe..." Shinso thought, totally conflicted. "I'm getting an offer to hang out with the cool hero course students?! This is pretty cool but... Well I can't just throw this on Tammy. And I don't want her to feel like I'm replacing her-"
"What's going on?"
Tammy asked, appearing out of nowhere. As usual.
"Ah!" Denki shrieked, just like last time he grabbed Kira's arm. "Oh hi Tammy!" He smiled nervously. "A warning would be nice!"
"Me and Kira just wanted to see if you guys would eat lunch at our table!" Mina smiled at Tammy.
"Oh." She said. She looked between Kira and Shinso with an unreadable expression.
"Whatever, while you guys make up your minds I'm gonna get my damn food." Bakugou snapped, stomping away.
"He seems more pissy than usual." Sero noted.
"Maybe he's mourning Mineta." Denki joked, nudging him.
"Who?" Shinso asked.
"Oh Mineta. A guy who used to be in our class. He dropped out and Kira took his place. Turns out he was totally murdered afterwards." Mina explained. "Isn't that spooky?"
"...quite." Tammy said with a frown. "I think I'll pass." She decided, then she looked up at Shinso. "You should go though, I need to do something in my room."
"You're not gonna eat?" Shinso asked.
"You do remember... I don't need to eat right?" Tammy asked him with a blank expression.
"Oh yeah. No food for the dead, no rest for the wicked. Right." Shinso rubbed the back of his neck. "Is she mad at me? I can't tell if she's acting weird because something is wrong... Or if she's just being herself."
"Right." Tammy nodded. Before she disappeared again.
"She... She doesn't eat?" Denki asked with a horrified expression.
Shinso shrugged. "Sure she does. She just doesn't really need it. She's like... Kinda immortal? I don't know. She's dead."
"Thats sick man." Sero whispered. "So she can't die again?"
"No she can, I think. She has to have her heart restarted every week or so. With a defibrillated or something. If she doesn't her body goes into like... a coma state and then her heart will eventually stop and she'll die... Again." Shinso shook his head. "It's hard to explain and I don't know half of it."
"Sounds like a baller quirk honestly." Denki chuckled.
"Awh, I wish she had stayed! I want to make friends with her." Mina whined.
"She'll come around." Shinso Mumbled.
"I hope."
°.•.°•.°•.°
Shinso did spend lunch with the hero course group. He had never really hung out with a whole friend group before. He had always felt like an outsider. But UA was changing all of that. Kira and the others were changing all of that.
Well, the others minus Bakugou. Bakugou didn't say much all day, but he sure was thinking about a lot.
"Where were you at?" Bakugou asked Kira with a curious frown. It was late, just a few days after the Mineta investigation was started.
"Well I was at the police department, came back and changed. Then did some training." Kira yawned. And shoved him aside to sit down next to him.
"Really? Since when do you train by yourself?" Bakugou asked, looking up at her.
"I was with Aizawa." Kira shrugged.
Bakugou face changed just slightly. "And Insomnia?" He guessed. "What's with that guy anyways?"
"Nothing, he just needs help. Aizawa asked me to help him out with stuff. Adjusting to what life would be like in the hero course, since I was the one student to be thrown in late." She explained. "Please don't make this a big deal."
Bakugou shook his head. "Yeah... I won't. Sorry." He mumbled, rubbing his eyes. "So what about you? You've been acting weird these past few days. Is it because-"
"I've just been thinking a lot. That's all." Kira interrupted.
"About what?" Bakugou asked.
'Us.' Kira thought. But she didn't say anything. She couldn't, it felt like it was stuck. It wasn't his fault, he just needed time. They were going through a little rough patch. She could wait it out. She'll be okay. They'll be okay.
"I don't know. Just stuff." Kira shrugged.
Was she a hypocrite? You'd think out of all people the mindreader would be the one that was best at communication. But here she was, keeping it all bottled up.
Bakugou gave her a doubting look. But didn't press it. Trusting that if it was important she'd tell him about it. "Alright." He Mumbled. Then he sighed and stood up off of the couch. "I'm going to bed now."
"Did you stay up for me?" Kira asked, looking at the time. It was pretty late for Bakugou.
"Why would I do a dumb thing like that?" He asked. "I wanted to see you... I don't know."
"Good night Kitty." Kira said, leaning back with a smile.
"D-don't fucking call me kitty!!" Katsuki snapped. Face bright red from embarrassment. "These nicknames really are escalating..."
Kira giggled. "What about Kitten?"
"That's fucking worse!"

"Hey."
Kira turned, trying not too react to the shock of having someone appear out of nowhere. "Sup Tammy." She said with a smile.
"Is it true you're investigating that one case. About the boy from UA that died?" She asked, face as straight as ever.
"Kinda, I'm just helping out at my internship with the police department." Kira shrugged.
"How do you get an internship?" Tammy asked. She seemed interested, as interested as she could seem with her lack of expression at least.
"Not sure how it works with general studies students, but you could always talk to principal Nezu." Kira offered.
"Hm... Alright." Tammy said after thinking about it. "Oh and Kira?"
"Yes?" Kira raised an eyebrow.
"You should be careful. If you don't watch your step... This could get... dangerous." The girl said, staring right at her.
"Dangerous how?" Kira asked. She got an odd nervous feeling. Like she was in danger, but not immediately. Like it was coming, just at the edge of the horizon.
But where was the danger coming from?
"There's a murderer out there Kira Kokoa." Tammy said with a blank expression.
"And they really don't want to be found."
A/N: RAHHHHHH murderer
