The Dorms 4

Everyone piled in the room and started talking about how dark and scary it was, like the amateurs they were. Katsuki Bakugo hung back in the doorway and pretended like he was actually looking at the room in front of him. Behind him, he could hear Deku talking a mile a minute again, and clenched his fist before walking over to the small group in the hallway made up of Deku, Red, and Bird Face.

"...brought my notebook! Are there any drawbacks? Do you get headaches?-"

Red gently cut him off "I'm getting one now."

Her smile came out more as a grimmance and Deku started waving his damn arms around like he was drowning, yelling "AH! I'm so sorry!"

Katsuki shoved past them, shoulder checking the floundering weakling as he passed. "Shut it, you damn nerd!" He growled.

Deku jumped about a foot in the air and stumbled over his words, "S-sure thing, K-kacchan!" Deku quickly walked away after the rest of the class in the next room, Bird Man following after him. Katsuki felt his anger spike at the old nickname and seethed.

"I TOLD YOU TO STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Katsuki yelled after him, but it fell on deaf ears. Needing to let out his anger on the next closest target, his eyes landed on Red, who was grinning. "AND YOU!" She looked up at him, confused. "THIS IS A WASTE OF GODDAMN TIME!" He aggressively pointed at her, feeling like steam was coming out of his ears.

He hadn't considered that he would be required to show his room as well when this started. There was no fucking way he was letting any of those extras near his stuff or near Lord Explosion. That little prideful pain in the ass is too adventurous for its own deaf self's good, and would bolt out the door if it was open for too long. Red moved his finger out of her face with her hand, attempting to stare him down from 8 inches under him.

"You didn't seem to think that when you were yelling about wanting to be class rep." She smiled, before pulling out her phone and walking up the stairs to catch up to the group. He frowned, looking away with a 'tch' before following after her, easily catching up with his long strides.

They walked in silence for a while, until Katsuki noticed they had reached their own rooms, the rest of the class nowhere to be found.

"They skipped our rooms since we weren't there." Red spoke up, answering his unvoiced question. She held up her phone as if to show him proof. "They're almost done with everyones rooms though, so they'll probably be coming back."

"So what?" Katsuki deadpanned, not understanding what she was getting at.

"So I'll make you deal, Kacchan." She grinned, and his mouth dropped open at her boldness. "I'll let you off the hook and tell everyone you went to bed if you show me the kitten!"

Katsuki felt his mind go blank in shock. This girl literally had no boundaries, he realized. It's as if she were drunk with how words just fell unfiltered from her fucking mouth! Oh yeah, that reminds him... he's going to fucking kill Kirishima, seeing as he's the only person that could've told her about his cat.

He heard footsteps around the corner and desperately tried to regain control of the conversation. "I don't know who told you that, I don't have a cat-"

"Yes you do, though Lord Explosion is a poor choice of a nameeEEE-" She was cut off as he pulled her into his room before anyone could hear her, slamming the door shut behind them.

He turned around to glare at her, and the Little Red Shit already had Lord Explosion in her lap, beaming up at him. Caught off guard, he just stared at her for a second. He had never seen someone smile at him like that. When he had come here, he had expected fear, or respect. But as her glowing face flushed with happiness, he couldn't deny that it made him feel… good. It was like she was a ten year old at an amusement park, or a drunk who just got fast food, or…

Katsuki trailed off as his eyes landed on his cat. Or should he say the traitor. The little devil was soaking up the attention Red gave it like it was starved! As if it had never been pet before! That lying little furball!

"Alright, that's it!" Katsuki growled, gripping under her arm and hoisting her up to her feet, the traitor on her lap letting out a small 'mew' of disapproval. Katsuki glared at the cat, knowing anything he said to it would fall on it's deaf ears, before looking back at little Red.

He reached out just in time to grab her around the waist before she fell face first into his immaculately organized desk, and roughly pulled her away from it, into his chest. Her long red hair followed after her, filling the air with the scent of strawberries.

They came face to face, maybe an inch apart, and electric blue eyes wide in surprise as they looked into his. Her face turned the darkest shade of red he's seen all day and he smirked at the accomplishment. As her lips parted, his own gaze was drawn to them. Without thinking, he gave into himself, leaning forward. As he did, a different scent hit him. Wrinkling his nose, he let go of her and leaned away.

"Are you fucking drunk?!" He exclaimed, agast. She blinked a few times as if clearing her head, before shrugging and moving out of his grasp.

"No, I'm Olivia." She replied simply, starting to leave. He gave Lord Explosion one last look to ensure he stayed put, and followed after her, irritated. She was on her phone again, typing a response to something, and walking down the stairs when he caught up.

"Why the hell are you drinking in the dorms, Red?" Katsuki launched right into it, ignoring how she was trying to walk faster, despite her short strides.

"None of your business, Katsuki." She shrugged, turning down the staircase to the first floor and still glued to her phone. He growled and went to grab the thing that was taking her attention away from him, but she put it in her pocket and glared at him before he was even able to move his arm.

"How did you know my nam-" He cut himself off as they walked out of the staircase and saw all 19 pairs of eyes trained on them. At Kirishima's suggestive look, Katsuki 'tch'ed and moved away from her, suddenly realizing how closely they had been walking.

Little Drunk smiled like the sun at the losers, and she was about to say something before Monkey cut her off.

"Sorry Olivia, I let them into your room on the way back since you weren't available." This guy had a key to her room? What the fuck, were they a thing or something? Katsuki tossed away the thought, ignoring the irritation simmering in his chest.

"Did they see the-"

"Yeah, sorry." Monkey frowned as he cut her off, having the decency to at least pretend to look guilty under her stare.

Miss Drunk let out a sigh, "Then since I obviously won't be chosen, I suppose I vote for Speedy- er, him." She pointed to Glasses, who was giving her a conflicted look of disapproval and surprise.

"Then I also vote for Iida." Monkey said, looking at Red like he knew something about her that Katsuki didn't. The irritation rose to a low boil.

"What about you, Kacchan?" Deku spoke up, holding a pen and piece of paper.

"Myself obviously, you damn nerd." He glowered darkly. Deku audibly gulped, quickly scribbling something down.

"A-alright then! Iida is the class rep with four votes, and Yaoyorozu is the vice with 3 votes!"

Groans and cheers went around the room, and Glasses gave a speech Katsuki didn't hear as he stalked back up the stairs.

What a damn waste of time.

As he reached to open the door to his room, he couldn't help but look at the door next to it. He wondered what her room looked like. He had been distracted while he was in it. Katsuki made a mental note to ask Shitty Hair tomorrow, after he was done murdering him for telling Red Cheeks about Lord Explosion.

He put the cat into its cat bed, and changed into just his sweats. After he was done brushing his teeth, he let himself fall onto his bed, giving Lord Explosion a pet as he did. And as Katsuki drifted off to sleep, his thoughts lingered on the woman on the other side of the wall, and on the alcohol that had lingered on her breath.
