HOARDING AROUND THE BUILDING!!? GO AWAY!!" An angry blonde stomped out of the tower, his head practically throbbing.
Behind him was a green haired boy, along with a two toned haired boy. "What's his problem?" Nejire huffed.
"Oh! Those are the pro heroes Deku, Shoto, and Bakugo!" Mirio recalled.
(ik bakugo has a hero name now, but i don't wanna spoil it for non-manga readers)
"YOU GUYS ARE SO FREAKING LOUD!!" Bakugo seethed, Deku grabbing onto his arm. "Kacchan! You can't yell at citizens like that!"
"LIKE HELL I CAN!!"
"Hm. I like him." Ginger approved.
"Excuse him." Shoto stepped forward. "But I must ask, why are there so many of you crowding the Endeavor agency?"
The crowd fell quiet, no one having the courage to speak up. Y/n sighed, taking a step forward. She took a deep exhale in. "Well...
Your father has been trying to shut down all of our small family owned businesses and threatened that if we didn't pay a ridiculous amount of money by tomorrow that we would be shut down permanently and we're here today to stand up against Endeavor because it is unfair to us who can barely afford rent!!" She rambled.
The crowd went silent, before erupting into cheer and clapping excitedly.
"That's right!"
"What she said!"
"It's so unfair!!"
"We wanna speak with Endeavor!"
Tamaki stepped forward, holding hands with y/n. She turned behind her to see him nod in approvement. "I'm proud of you." He whispered.
Y/n chuckled. "I'm the one who should be praising you."
"CAN YOU GUYS SHUT UP!!?? What are you, morons!!?—" Bakugo hissed, Deku slamming his hand over his mouth. "QUIT YELLING AT THEM!!"
"Sorry but...Who told you that Endeavor was buying out your companies?" Shoto asked kindly. Y/n tilted her head. "Well, a woman did."

"A woman?"
"Yeah! She had short, pink hair. A mean face. And wore a navy shirt with a patch labeled Endeavor Agency! She said Endeavor wanted to build a new tower."
Shoto and Deku glanced at each other, Bakugo struggling to remove Deku's hand from his mouth. "I'm sorry but...Endeavor doesn't pursue anything else other than hero work-"
"Meaning he's got no interest in buying out little businesses like yours!! Now leave-" Bakugo growled, Deku quickly stepping in front of him and pushing him back towards the building. "Sorry about him!" Deku excused.
Shoto turned back to y/n. "There must be a misunderstanding-"
"YOU DUMBASSES WERE CONNED!!" Bakugo chuckled, Deku pushing him into the agency.
Y/n raised her eyebrows. "Conned?"
"Like a con artist?" Ginger questioned.
"...I suppose Bakugo would be correct. The agency has no intention to build a new tower. We wouldn't dare to think to shut down small businesses. It's not right."
Y/n and her friends stared at him in disbelief. "So...this whole thing...
WAS SOME SCAM!!?"
"I'm afraid so." Shoto bowed. "Sorry for the trouble we may have caused. If any of you paid this woman money, please let us know. We'll pay you back in full."
Y/n leaned back onto Tamaki, him catching her in his arms. "Oh my god! We almost paid a random woman 400,000 yen!!"
"Thank you for your help! Sorry for the ruckus." Mirio apologized, patting Shoto on the back. "I-It's no problem, really." Shoto mumbled.
As the crowd celebrated, a woman, the same, pink haired woman, peered around a corner of a building a few meters away.
She hissed under her breath, walking down a nearby alley. Her skin suddenly started to fall, it melting off like butter.

Her whole appearance changed, a young blonde girl being revealed. "Awww maaaan!! I even bragged about my huge scheme to Tomura!...Guess I gotta find a different way to find money." She whined.
"Cheers!!! To Expresso Express being saved!!" Ginger shouted, clinking glasses with his friends. "Cheers!!" They cheered, downing their drinks.
Hailey slammed her glass on the table, running her fingers through her hand. "Sorry for lying to you boss."
Y/n glanced up. "Hm? Oh, it's really not a big deal. You were just trying to keep me distracted!"
"I'm surprised you kept her distracted for so long." Ginger joked, Hailey stepping on his toe with her boot.
Y/n stood up from her chair. "Hey, Tamaki? Can I talk to you? Outside?"
Her friends went silent, all turning to Tamaki. "U-Uh, sure."
"Ooooooo." Nejire and Ginger whispered as they watched the couple leave from the apartment.
"Hey, Hailey? I actually was wondering something." Mirio turned to her as Tamaki and y/n stepped into the hallway. "Hm?"
"You always call y/n, boss, even outside of work? Why's that?"
Hailey stared down at her drink, giving a small smile. "...It's simple...
I look up to her."
Tamaki closed the apartment door behind him as they walked outside into the hall. "...Is something-"
Suddenly, y/n crashed her lips into his, pulling his face close to hers. Tamaki's eyes shot open, his body slowly melting to her touch. He relaxed and closed his eyes, pulling her towards him by the waist.
Y/n backed away, then hugged him around the neck, burying her face into his chest. "...I'm really proud of you." She whispered.
"...You are?"
"Mhm. If it weren't for you, Expresso Express would've lost 400,000 yen in savings...so thank you. You really are amazing."
Tamaki felt his chest warm up. He hugged y/n closer to him, kissing the top of her head. "I just...did the right thing...You deserved it."
Y/n smiled into his chest. "Tamaki?"
"...Y/n?"
"...Can I admit something?"
"Y-Yeah of course."
"..,I actually had a huge crush on you in high school."
Tamaki's face grew a deep red. "H-Huh?! Y-You did?!" He pushed her away, gazing into her eyes. She giggled. "Yeah! I started talking to you because I though you were cute!" She pinched his cheeks like a grandma.
"I-I can't tell if you're joking or not." He muttered. Y/n smiled, leaning forward a giving him a kiss on the cheek. "You were just the cutest!...still are."
Tamaki felt his heart start to beat faster. He leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips, bringing her toward him. Y/n felt the sudden passion he had when kissing her, him growing more confident with each peck.
He reached down to her hand, intertwining his fingers with hers and caressing the back of her hand with his thumb. I...I don't wanna stop kissing her...
I don't think I can stop even if I wanted.
