**Chapter 35: Midnight Mayhem**

Mina's voice pierced through the darkness, waking us all up from our slumber. "Hey, guys! Before we go to sleep, why don't we have a pillow fight and see who wins?" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Todoroki groggily opened his eyes, rubbing the sleep from them. "A pillow fight? Really?" he asked, his voice husky from sleep. Mina nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! And the winner will get a prize!" I sat up, intrigued. "What's the prize?" I asked Mina, my curiosity piqued. Mina giggled, her eyes glinting with amusement. "They will get to beeeeeeee close to you!" She pointed to me, a sly grin spreading across her face. I immediately had a surprising reaction. "Oh ok… wait what?" I stuttered, my face heating up with a blush. The others started to stir, their faces lighting up with excitement. Kirishima let out a whoop, while Bakugo grumbled good-naturedly. Izuku just chuckled and shook his head. Todoroki's eyes locked onto mine, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. I could sense a competitive spark igniting within him, and I knew he was already planning his strategy. Mina clapped her hands together, her eyes shining with excitement. "Alright, let's get started! Everyone, grab a pillow!" The room erupted into chaos as we all scrambled to find pillows and prepare for battle. I grabbed a pillow and held it up, trying to look defensive, but Mina was already charging towards me, a fierce look on her face. The pillow fight was intense, with feathers flying everywhere and pillows thwacking against each other. I ducked and dodged, trying to avoid getting hit, but Todoroki was relentless, chasing me around the room with a determined look on his face. As the fight continued, I found myself laughing and having a great time, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that Mina's prize was going to be a lot more complicated than I had anticipated. What did she mean by "be close" to me, exactly? And who was going to end up winning this pillow fight? Only time would tell.
