Once everyone had their own plates, they looked at each other, waiting to see who would take the first bite.
"Ohhhhhh~!" More than one almost had a heart attack when Toru's sharp scream was heard. Everyone just watched as the chopsticks floated motionlessly. Did the ramen have poison in it and paralyze her?
"It's the best thing I've ever tasted!" In a rather rude manner, the invisible girl pounced on the bowl and began eating at full speed.
Seeing one of their classmates eating with such confidence, the others joined in, and the reactions were immediate.
"Wow! Guys, this is good!" Kaminari was the next to use his chopsticks to eat at full speed, almost putting his head in the bowl.
"It's good..." One of the few who remained calm, Tokoyami ate quietly but with pleasure, implying that he also enjoyed it.
"I could get used to this," Shiori thought to herself, imagining herself with the shinobi cooking for her every day. Although that would be strange since it was usually the other way around, that didn't bother her in the slightest.
"This is better than anything the hundreds of cooks who work in my home have ever made," Momo said thoughtfully as she ate with the manners of royalty, which was not surprising given where she was from.
"..." Aizawa had to blink at the good taste, though he had to frown when he saw that Mt. Lady was eating like her life depended on it.
"Naruto-kun, this is really good! I didn't know you cooked so well!" Ibara said, taking the floor and praising her friend, who was only eating in moderation.
"Well, I always used to cook for myself... and my family," although the last part was just a thought, Naruto continued eating while accepting the compliments from his classmates and even the pro heroes.
"Mr. Whiskers, you're not only adorable, but you're not a pervert, you're polite, and you know how to cook. You're definitely a great catch. Do you have someone special in your life?" Pixie-bob was curious if the boy had a relationship. Who could blame her? She was already thirty, and the boy was almost 18; no one could judge her.
"I was in a relationship a while ago," Naruto said, frowning. He had finished eating and was now staring into space, debating what to say. "She and I... we loved each other." With a somber gleam in his eyes, the blond ignored the curious or sad looks from some of his closest companions.
"Because?"
"Pixie-bob, that's private," Mandalay scolded the blonde, who just snorted and crossed her arms.
"No, it's fine," Naruto said, drawing attention again. He looked at the cat heroine with indifference. "Things just didn't go as planned, and I had to distance myself from her... It's funny how we distance ourselves from the people we love because we want them to be happy." With that, the shinobi simply poured himself another helping and continued eating. As the minutes passed, the atmosphere grew awkward, as it was rare for the most reserved student in the class to speak so much.
"It's strange..." With his chopsticks, Mirko took a small piece of carrot that had been a garnish in his ramen. Apparently, the brat had gone to the trouble of giving him a vegetarian ramen made mainly of vegetables, including carrots. With a sigh, he continued to look at the strange teenager for a while, who was becoming increasingly difficult to understand.
...Hours later ....
It was already 11:00 PM, and the teachers had allowed their students to socialize a little longer; after all, they were still young and deserved a little fun once in a while. Right now, everyone was sitting around a campfire, both Class A and Class B, sitting on logs around a large bonfire and roasting marshmallows.
"Truth or Dare?" It seemed the boys were now playing a game that none of them refused to participate in. Even under the strict supervision of the pro heroes, the teenagers didn't hold back on their dares or revealing secrets. This time, it was Sero's turn to give the dare to his classmate Ojiro.
"Challenge." The blond with a ponytail smiled defiantly and did not hesitate.
"I dare you to stroke Darkshadow's head." With that, the shadowy figure emerged from the bird boy's stomach.
"Oh wow." Smiling fearfully, the teenager with a tail saw the menacing creature approach him, and when he tried to touch it, he was bitten.
"You lost, old man!" Unable to contain his laughter, Sero won the round, and the challenges continued, to the amusement of some and the dismay of others. "It's your turn, Tsuyu," he said, leaving the challenge to the frog girl. She thought about it before finally deciding.
"Uraraka-chan, truth or dare?"
"Uhhh..." The brown-haired teenager tensed up and, seeing the challenges she had been hearing, decided on something simpler. "Truth."
"What's the strangest place you've ever had to go to the bathroom?"
"Huh?!" The round-faced girl exclaimed, not expecting such a bold question from her friend. Feeling betrayed, she became the center of attention. "I... I... had to go... behind a bingo booth at a fair. The line for the bathroom was too long! My Oka-san helped me not to be noticed."
"Ohhhhhh~ I understand. I had to do it in a photo booth at an amusement park," Mina admitted shamelessly, happily grabbing the ready-made marshmallow. Looking up, she saw everyone staring at her incredulously.
"What? I just peed," she shrugged and ate her marshmallow with a smile. "Well, it's my turn," she said, glancing at her classmates before turning her gaze to Shoji. "Truth or dare?"
"Challenge." The six-armed giant was ready for anything, or at least that's what he thought.
"I dare you to say which girl I'm willing to take on a date!"
"..." With his eyes blank, the giant looked around for a moment and, with a heavy sigh, lowered his head. "Hagakure Toru..." Just saying that made some girls, like Mina and Itsuka, squeal sharply at the revelation, while the invisible girl trembled like a leaf caught in a draft.
"I don't mind the idea, Shoji-kun!" the teenage girl squealed enthusiastically, only making the other teenagers more excited. Among them, a calm Naruto simply smiled gently at the interaction between his classmates.
"..." With her gaze fixed on the fire, she felt only peace and calm, which she hadn't felt in a long time. When was the last time she had smiled so much or even laughed? Days? Weeks? Months? Years? She didn't know, and she didn't care; now she just wanted to continue enjoying these small moments.
"Uzumaki Naruto! Truth or dare?" Coming out of his thoughts, the blond was challenged by a smiling Toru.
"Challenge." Taking the small risk, he was intrigued by what the invisible girl, who was bouncing in her seat with excitement, would ask him.
"I dare you to kiss Todoroki-san!" More than one girl's jaw dropped at such a challenge, and everyone stared intently at the quiet Shiori sitting next to the Uzumaki. The girl tensed and stiffly turned around to look at the calm shinobi, who only blinked in surprise at the challenge.
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" The constant shouts of the Hagakure girl were followed by her other classmates, who couldn't believe that the two students with the coldest personalities would dare to kiss.
"Wait..." Trying to be the voice of reason, Ibara didn't want this game to go that far. She was only sitting inches away from Uzumaki and could see how he and the half-redhead were looking at each other. "Don't you think this is too much...?"
"Okay," interrupting his friend, Naruto focused solely on the Todoroki girl, shocking the religious girl and her other classmates, who thought he would refuse. "May I, Shiori-chan?" Smiling, the blond approached the half-redhead, who simply nodded, her expression always static, adorned by a blush that became more and more visible.
"Am I ready?" Shiori froze, watching as the teenager's large, calloused hands gently held her cheeks. Her eyes glistened as he slowly leaned closer. "Will my breath be good? I haven't brushed my teeth in hours. He's never kissed anyone before. Should I use tongue or just press my lips to his? If he kisses me, will I get pregnant?" With that last, almost childish thought, the girl simply closed her eyes, awaiting the moment she had been longing for. Her mind raced, and the young Todoroki felt a strange sensation in her stomach, as if time had stopped.
"..." Finally, she saw the Uzumaki's face just millimeters from hers. Closing her eyes, she waited for that magical moment.
It didn't go as planned, since Naruto only gave her a soft kiss on her forehead, but that was enough to make the girl's mind explode.
"Hey, that wasn't the challenge!" The invisible girl's complaint was shared by several others, who felt cheated.
"You said a kiss, but never that it had to be on the lips," Naruto shrugged, simply smiling at Toru's annoyance. Looking at the half-redheaded girl, he stroked her hair and smiled humorously. "Next time."
"..." With a blush on her cheeks and sparkling eyes, Shiori simply nodded. After a few minutes, the students continued their game, where the final challenge was about to take place.
"My turn! My turn!" Bouncing up and down, Setsuna Tokage was the next and last to give the dare. With a mischievous smile, she looked at her classmates before finally pointing at Yui Kodai. "Truth or dare?"
