Class Rep Elections

"Quiet, everyone!" Iida's deep voice cut through the noise of the early morning classroom, causing his classmates to pay some attention to him. "As you all may know, I have been serving the role of temporary class representative until we grew closer together and learned more about our temperaments and skills. Today, Aizawa-sensei has given his class time for the purpose of the class rep elections. Let us begin this process orderly and fairly, please."

Yeah, right. Class devolved into shouts and riot pretty quickly, as everyone wanted to get a word in or vote for themselves. "ORDERRRR! One by one! Stop shouting!" Iida tried to rein them in, but it was to no avail. Chaos took over for a solid half-minute, but eventually, Momo Yaoyorozu got up from her seat, quietly advancing towards the whiteboard before she began writing down each of her classmates' names by alphabetical order. The noise slowly died down while she did; by the time she was done, the class was mostly silent.

Momo drew a slight breath, facing the classroom with a neutral, professional expression. "We should vote one by one for our preferred representative. Why don't we walk up here one by one, by the order seen in the board, and express our feelings on who should represent our interests with the school's board?"

Surprisingly enough, this worked. Mina went in first, since her last name was Ashido and thus she was the first by alphabetical order. "Okay, I'm first! Hmmmm... I think I'm gonna go with Midoriya!" A loud thump was heard at the back of the class, as Izuku's head had dropped against his desk. Why did it have to be him, he thought. It was probably just because she had willingly had intercrural sex with him or something-

"I mean, he's suuuuuper smart! And when he didn't even know me or Jiro, and she asked him for help with her notes, he sat with us and taught us instead of eating with his friends! I bet someone with that kind of heart would make a great rep if any of us had any troubles we'd need to relay to him." Izuku's head slowly tilted back up, his eyes slowly beginning to water. That... actually took him by surprise. He never realized any of that meant anything to them.

"Aww he's gonna cry! Nonono-!" She quickly hopped over to his seat, giving him a big hug by hunching over a little. "-I'm sorry! Did I get too sappy for you? Eheheh..." A bit of hair ruffling later, she went back to the front of the class, though her own eyes also seemed watery. "Midoriya it is! Next please~"

Tsuyu was next. She walked up, her massive eyes staring at Midoriya for a few seconds with her unreadable expression. Then, her vote finally went through. "Uraraka-chan is a good friend, and I feel she's qualified for the position, kero. She's gentle, listens to others, and tries to help with their troubles. If Mina is to be believed, those two are made for each other; maybe they could be Prez and Vice Prez." Of course, both of them went red in the face as she moved back to her seat.

Bakugo's turn was a surprise to exactly no one. "Vote for me, you extras! I'll show you a dedicated rep when I win this. You need someone brash to stand up for you and speak without reservation, unlike that spineless Deku." Iida cut him off: "Bakugo-kun. This is for your own vote, not to advertise yourself. I'll put your vote towards yourself, now please take a seat." While Bakugo told him off and wrote his vote himself, he did eventually sit down. Not many in the classroom seemed interested in voting for someone so abrasive.

Hagakure voted for Todoroki, mostly because "She's so cool!" Of course, Kaminari had to make a joke about also being hot, but it still made most of the class chuckle.

Iida followed. "I cannot in good conscience vote for myself when I remember the things Midoriya-kun has taught me. During the entrance exam, you sacrificed yourself and your chance to win in order to save a single person. During the Battle Trial, I learned the value of listening to your own teammates and of teamwork. During the Quirk Apprehension Test, you ran your body ragged in order to secure your position in this privileged institution. My vote is for Izuku Midoriya, in the hope that he's as inspiring to everyone else as he is to me." Unsurprisingly, everyone clapped at such an honest and heartfelt speech, with Kirishima nearly sobbing while calling him manly.

Jiro seemed to be having some difficulties making up her mind, or casting her vote. "Hrm... yeahhh I'm gonna have to agree with Mina's vote, as much as she'll be teasing me forever about it. Midoriya was super helpful to us back then and he didn't expect anything in return. But I did say I'd make it up to him, so here you go, you have my vote dude. You better win this." She went back to her seat, but very quickly started regretting it as Mina and Kaminari started teasing her.

Yurei Kagami stepped up next. She seemed very hesitant, slowly walking towards the front while holding one of her arms in the other's hand, rubbing it a little all the while. Half-lidded, ever-moving eyes, labored breath, and more arm rubs followed. Maybe she had no idea who to vote for - Midoriya couldn't remember her ever approaching others, and she mostly ate on her lonesome during lunch, if she didn't disappear altogether. "Um... since everyone is voting for Midoriya... he's alright... can I sit down now?" Just like that, she sat back down in a bit of a hurry. Maybe she just wasn't good with people and wanted to go with the flow. He could heavily relate to that.

Kaminari's vote went towards Yaoyorozu mostly "cuz she's so hot! I can't in good conscience vote for anyone else!" He got zapped by Jiro on his way back. Meanwhile, Kirishima's vote went to Bakugo because he was swayed by his 'manly words' earlier. "No offense to Midoriya or Iida, though, you guys absolutely rock, I just feel we need someone like Bakugo to represent us!"

Midoriya took a deep breath once he was in front of the metaphorical podium. "I'd like to nominate Tenya Iida for the position. Ever since I met him, I was convinced he had what it takes to be a great class rep, and he's been doing a great job of it so far." Iida nodded at the speech, but said nothing about it, probably wanting to keep things impartial and fair. His smile betrayed his gratefulness, though.

Sherry's turn was wild, and left the majority of the class laughing their asses off - she simply stood in front of the class with her laptop facing them, pulled up a high-resolution picture of Izuku's cock back from the painting class, and then scrolled through pictures of every girl's drawings of him, most of which focused precisely on it. "Enough said, ahahahah! Yeah I'm voting for the cute hung bush-head like almost every other girl here, I'm just being honest about it~." And with a wink going his way, she went back to her seat amid the chaos and laughter. She really wasn't helping his embarrassment, but it still got a nervous chuckle out of him.

Sakuya didn't even stand up in order to cast her vote, simply saying "Love you Sher, but you'd make an awful prez so I'm not sure who to vote for... eh, screw it, Momo can have it. I'd rather it be a girl and she looks really capable and smart." Sero, on his part, voted for Katsuki much like Kirishima did. "He seems like he has a plan in mind, and I wanna see it!"

Shinohara was checking her phone when her turn came, so she silently pointed at Midoriya and kept typing afterwards. It seems like she hadn't even paid any attention, looked to the board, saw he was leading by far, and voted for him just to get it over with.

Meiyu did step up to the class, still looking as voluptuous and oversexed as she had ever since the second day of school. Izuku could swear her shirt was body paint sometimes, and she was clearly not wearing a bra. "I must vote for Midoriya Izuku. Ah- forgive me for using your full name so casually, but the circumstances required me to do so." As she walked back to her seat, passing by a confused Midoriya, she whispered next to his ear - "I wonder if I deserve a punishment for that..." Well, now he was confused AND flustered. Had he ever even talked to her???

Todoroki's turn came up. "Momo Yaoyorozu's keen insight and intelligence would be great gifts for any class representative to possess. My vote goes to her." Tokoyami, on his part, voted for Asui. "We fought together during the Battle Trial class - I respect her level-headedness and teamwork spirit."

And then, it was Uraraka's turn. Izuku could already picture how it would go for someone affected by Attraction of Hot Things for so long, so he tried to clear his mind of any thoughts that could influence her true feelings. "First of all, I want to thank Tsuyu-chan for her vote, but I don't think I would meet her expectations if I were to become class rep. I would like to vote for Dek- erm, Midoriya-kun for this position. While it is true that many of us are good at listening to others' troubles and giving advice, I'm only here studying with you all because he saved me from that entrance exam robot, and as the days have gone by and I've gotten to know him a little better, he's become someone I feel I can trust with all of my self."

While she was still going red ever since Tsuyu made that comment about her and Midoriya, the latter was slightly horrified. She trusted him. She was admitting that she cared for him and appreciated his friendship. And he was still keeping a terrible secret from her. He didn't deserve this. None of this. The great majority of the votes had been plain simply because of Attraction of Hot Things doing its thing. If he was Quirkless, if only he didn't have that Quirk... at least he'd know what their honest thoughts would be.

"Hey." His gaze rose to meet Ochako's, now next to him while Momo got ready to walk to the front. "Can we talk later? There's been something weighing on my mind a-and I can't really keep it a secret any longer..." A secret? His heart felt really heavy all of a sudden, like a knot had formed around it. Was she about to confess to him, maybe? Or maybe... something different? Was she also keeping something bad from him? He couldn't stop thinking about it in circles, so he made sure to quickly respond lest he shut down from overthinking. "S-Sure! Let's talk at the dorms, then...?"

Yaoyorozu, understandably, went last. "Your votes mean a lot to me. For the good of the class-" She took a quick look at Katsuki, who was tied with her in votes so far, before continuing. "-I will vote for myself, and make sure to return your trust with my actions as Vice Representative."

Tallies were counted. Eight votes for Midoriya. Four votes for Momo. That made them Class Representative, and Vice Rep, respectively. Both stood in front of the class as the others clapped loudly, though eventually it died down enough for them to speak.

"I... will do my best to pay back your trust in me with m-my actions!" Midoriya started, and Momo simply nodded, having already said her piece earlier. Instead, she extended a hand towards him, as part of the UA tradition of taking a picture of a handshake between Rep and Vice Rep, to hang on the wall for future generations to see what their predecessors looked like.

Not great news for Midoriya, though. He was about to touch yet another girl, and he had **** in the matter. As the handshake was happening and their classmates were taking the pictures, time once again seemed to slow down for them, and her thoughts began seeping into his.

Huh? Why is everything so... foggy and sparkly?

Has he always had those freckles? And those glossy eyes and long lashes... he looks a little girly, and somehow that looks so good on him.

Wait, am I staring for too long?

We've been like this for a while now... but I don't hear the camera shutter, so we should just stay like this until it happens, right...?

His hand... it feels soft, with just a superficial layer of roughness. Did he only start training months ago? With a little skin care, it could feel wonderful to hold...

Time finally snapped back, and the shutter of a camera app startled Momo out of her trance. She stepped back a little as if she was a frightened cat, but soon managed to compose herself despite the blush on her face. "S-Sorry, that was rude of me, I didn't mean to recoil from you like that. That sound just took me by surprise..."

Classes were a bit more uncomfortable, and dreamy at the same time, when Izuku realized what his new position would mean when it came to building his harem. But Uraraka's words still had him anxious. Just what did she want to tell him?
