100 Challenge - 5 triumph

Midoriya leaped to his feet, his arm waving about like mad. His eyes were wide and he was grinning. "Oooh, ooh! I know! Bicycle!" He spoke in English, as they all had to since they were in that class.

"Idiot," Bakugo sneered, pointing at the chalkboard where their teacher was furiously doodling circles over and over again. "It's ah... ah, fuck." His face drew up in an incredible pout as he forgot the word he wanted.

Present Mic slapped his own face with a fingerless gloved hand. As per the rules, he wasn't allowed to talk and it was <i>killing</i> him. The little bastard knew his curse words in the language, but not much else. Why on earth had they picked this game?! He wanted to scream!

Jiro snickered from where she sat in the back. That's exactly the reason they had chosen it, and she, for one, was glad they didn't have to hear his screeching for at least a little while today. She knew the answer but held back, liking the silence more than winning.

Mic rubbed at his face and glared at them all, one eye squinted narrowly. He erased everything and then drew two circles again, then connected them with a "v" shape. He held his hand underneath them, as if to show he hadn't just drawn them smaller this time, it was their actual size.

Mineta chuckled wickedly. "Balls."

"Ughhh, have you learned <i>nothing</i>, you little pervert? Also, there's no way he would draw that." Mina banged her head on her desk. 

Mic blinked. That had been a pretty decent sentence! He grinned at her on the side, giving her a thumbs up. He turned back to the board and frowned. He really couldn't think of anything else to tip them off, so he started adding more circles, and then a long, oblong shape with lines through it. He speckled the other circle and added little leaves...

"Oh, fruit."

Bang. He slammed the desk and nodded vigorously. And then pointed back to the two circles, drawing out his hands.

<i>That makes these...?</i>

When they still stared blankly at his little drawing, however, he gave up and started doodling sunglasses on the banana, much to the students' delight.

"Cherries!" Uraraka burst out all at once. 

Mic gasped, sinking down to the floor and pointing at her with a shaking finger. "Yeahhhh! We have a winner!"

"Those are cherries?"

"I'm not an artist," he sniffed. "Still, that one took you guys wayyyy too long to get. I betcha I can guess anything in half the time."

"You're on!" 

"It's my turn."

Mic stared at Mineta. "You're going to draw boobs." The teenager slunk down in his chair, a defeated look on his face. "See? No challenge there. Okay, all right! Uraraka won, so how about it?" He handed her the chalk, dusting his leather gloves off.

The girl thought for a second, then held up one finger. What emerged from her scrawling was a fuzzy, striped cat and another oblong with glasses.

It certainly looked like a cat and a banana.

"Uh. How many words?" 

She tapped her arm. Held one finger up.

"One." Present Mic's face turned bright red. He gave her a shocked look, his eyes widening. "You..."

She giggled, her hand covering her mouth. 

"Uh. Okay, I get it. I'll bite." He started to swrat, aware that the class was openly amused by his embarrassment. "Dating? Romance? Love?"

She shook her head but waved him on in encouragement. 

"Look, this is clearly me an' Ches, right. What the heck is... erk." This close up he saw the banana had a colored-in square in front of it with a thing sticking out.

"Really?" He threw his hands up. "Y'all wanted to see this, you just had to ask!" He lifted his hand and bit the leather near a finger, yanking the tight-fitting gloves off. "It's not a wedding ring, it's for promising I'll ask her later."

Most of the class jumped up, rushing him in their frenzy to view the much-talked about ring.
