"How much time do we have left?" Uraraka worried, trying her best to make the streamers stick to the wall, her fingers starting to feel cramped now.
"She's going to be back at any moment now!" Kirishima answered, looking at the social media feed his classmate had posted to a few moments before. "Apparently she got done with dinner at her parent's and is heading back now!"
"We need to hurry than everyone!" Iida instructed as Asui was sitting next to him as they both tried to finished the birthday banner.
Kaminari sulked out of the kitchen, flour coating his entire body as he looked around to see the rest of his classmates running around and trying to gather as many items as possible and put them in their places before the guest of honor arrived back.
"What happened to you?" Jirou paused in tuning her guitar to hold back giggles from Kaminari who resembled a ghost.
"Bakugou is a kitchen hog... and when I tried to help with the cake... he dumped an entire bag of flour on me."
Jirou held her hand to her face as she laughed even harder at the image in her head of Bakugou pouring the flower over the electric blonde's head and how stunned Kaminari must have been after such an action. Even so, her giggles only made Kaminari pout further, going as far as to start to lightly shout at her to stop as it wasn't funny.
"Kaminari-kun." Yaoyorozu silenced the pair with a mere stern voice. "If you're not helping Bakugou-kun then please go change and then help the rest of us get ready before (Name)-chan arrives back."
Kaminari did as told, passing by the duo of Midoriya and Todoroki who were organizing the gift table and making sure everyone had placed their gifts on it. Midoriya was quickly reading out the names, Todoroki saying a simple yes or no as the list went on.
"Ojirou-kun?"
"Yes."
"Asui-san?"
"Yes."
"Mineta-kun."
Midoriya paused as he didn't hear Todoroki's voice answer him back. Eyes of green looking up to see that Todoroki was holding what appeared to be a small purple gift bag. A receipt of a certain store hanging from the gift.
Midoriya blinked as Todoroki suddenly hardened his left hand around the gift, the smell of smoke quickly making its appearance in the room. And soon enough a small little fire was seen by the males and anyone else who was rushing past but had no time to ask questions.
"Todoroki-kun-"
"It's better this way." Todoroki spoke as the flames extinguished and whatever inappropriate outfit had been inside was now destroyed.
At least for today... you'd be spared any strange or uncomfortable interactions with Mineta, courtesy of Todoroki. So even though he burned one of your gifts... Todoroki was sure that in this case you would forgive him.
"This is so exciting!" Hagakure beamed as she hopped between Shoji and Tokoyami who were helping bring out the food from the kitchen. Satou and Bakugou were still working hard to finish the cake, so the three thought it would be nice to set up the food table as they finished up.
"A party seems appropriate after all." Shoji spoke, watching as Hagakaure carried over a bowl of chips.
"It won't be a banquet of darkness on this day." Tokoyami muttered though it didn't fall on deaf ears.
Uraraka couldn't contain her laughter upon hearing this, nearly dropping the last of the streamers onto Mina who was supporting the girl on her shoulders. Mina puffed out her cheeks as Uraraka began to contain herself once more.
"Ochaco-chan!" Mina whailed, arms flailing and this sending the two to start to topple over.
"Mina-chan!" Uraraka yelled, touching her shoulder quickly to make herself float, but missing Mina's hand as they separated.
Lucky for them both, Kirishima had been standing near and grabbed onto Mina before she hit the floor hard. And now seeing as Uraraka was floating like one of the helium balloons that Aoyama had picked up today, Sero was quick to tape the girl and bring her down to Earth once more.
"You two need to be more careful..." Sero chuckled awkwardly.
"Sorry." Mina apologized.
"Yeah sorry." Uraraka nodded.
"Let's forget about it, for now, we have to finish up and fast!" Kirishima cheered, brought the excited mood back easily to the three people he was standing near.
Only a few decorations were left out now, but Aoyama had better ideas than the cute little flowers and quotes that Yaoyorozu had picked out. He smiled to himself and smoothed out the French styled tablecloth that now had food on it. And then went towards the fondue he had helped prepare and took a sample taste.
"Exquisite!" The sparkly blonde declared. "Midoriya you must try this fondue! The cheese is excellent!"
The green haired male nodded, trying to hide the fact that the idea of Aoyama leaving him and wanting him to try cheeses was still a bit strange to the male. But this was Aoyama after all and being strange was just part of his personality. Plus... he did know a thing or two about cheese.
"Iida-kun, I think we're done." Tsuyu spoke, placing a finger on her chin and looking at their joint hard work.
"I agree, Tsuyu-kun!" Iida practically yelled and then spied Ojirou having finished a task and waved him over. "Ojirou-kun! Come help me put this banner up as Tsuyu-kun lets us know if its straight!"
The tailed male did as such, helping the class president raise the banner right above the doorway as the frog-like girl watched with careful eyes. The pair took moment, but then glanced to Asui who was smiling at the duo.
"How does it look Tsuyu?" Ojirou spoke and then sighed contently as she gave him a thumb's up.
"It looks perfect. (Name)-chan is going to love it!" She smiled, excited for her friend to arrive in the next few minutes.
Suddenly the door to the kitchen slammed against the wall, a tall ash blonde strode out. His face was covered in flour and frosting, but no one dared laugh due to the scowl on his face. Bakugou went towards the food, looking towards Kouda who was standing near it.
"Where the fuck am I putting this?" He asked the silent male.
Kouda pointed toward an obvious spot that made been saved for the cake and without a word Bakugou roughly put it onto the table. Satou's head peeked out from the kitchen as he was cleaning up, worry crossing his face.
"You better not have ruined my cake, Bakugou!"
Bakugou's temple throbbed as he looked back towards Sato. His hands stuffed into his pants as he made his way back to help clean up with the sugar-loving male. Kouda merely watched as he walked back, making sure his present of a small kitten was doing okay and resting happily in his arms.
"Yeah yeah... I know." Bakugou clicked his tongue. "So shut your trap and let's clean up this mess..."
The cooking duo was quick to clean up as everyone was finishing their tasks. And then finally only one item remained on their list... a final task to be carried out before this day could truly be perfect for you.
"Why's everyone looking at me?" Mineta asked, sensing that suddenly all attention was on him.
Suddenly all the girls surrounded him, the boys simply turning their heads away. It was bound to happen eventually... and if it was for you, then it was worth it.
Jirou was the first to speak, lowering a gaze towards the male with an anger that made Mineta freeze in place. The other girl's had similar faces, leaving the smaller male to know he was in major trouble.
"Do anything that ruins the party or (Name)'s night... and we'll make it a point that Shinsou-kun will have an open spot by tomorrow..."
Mineta could only gulp and give his nod. And now seeing as he agreed to behave tonight or possibly get killed... all seemed perfect. Now all that was missing was you. And as that thought passed through everyone's heads, the sound of a key unlocking the front door alerted the class that it was time.
Quickly turning off the lights and moving into positions everyone waited quietly as you unlocked the door. Your figure seems to have not noticed anything or your twenty classmates hiding in some rather obvious places.
But as you reached for the light switch you were startled when it was turned on for you and various shouts of "Happy Birthday (Name)!" came from several pairs of mouths who were now out and in front of you.
You blinked a few times, your startled reaction starting to vanish as you took in your surroundings. A giggle escaped your blushing cheeks soon turning into a full-blown and hearty laugh as everyone gathered near you to wish you further birthday happiness.
The girls were quick to hug you, as well as some of the boys. The rest gave you either a friendly pat or a handshake, aside from Todoroki and Bakugou who merely nodded in your direction (a good enough blessing from them both in your eyes).
Everyone chatted excited, saying what you should do first and how they had such a fun night planned for you. And while you couldn't wait to partake in the festivities with your friends you in all honestly could care less about the cake, presents and games when it came to their kindness towards you.
Because in your eyes... knowing they cared enough about you to go out of their way to throw you a party was more than enough in your eyes. And as you made your birthday wish that night... you couldn't help but feel a tad bit cheesy.
But then again... wishing to always have these wonderful people in your life was all you truly wanted.
