All Might walked Izuku back to his dorm room mostly because he didn't want him going back. Even though he saw him throughout the school day, he had grown quite attached to the green haired boy. The boy was almost like his own kid now and he gushed over him when they weren't in the teacher-student setting. It no longer seemed odd for either one of them.
Izuku watched as his favorite hero/dad left the dorm leaving him sad and feeling somewhat empty. He hadn't thought about his hot kiss with Shouto all weekend until he met the eyes of Katsuki Bakugou again. There wasn't a scowl or a pissy expression on his face. It was... something else. He had never seen that kind of look... expect it came from Shouta, Hizashi and Toshinori when his parents had died.
OH DEAR GOD SHOUTO TOLD HIM
The strangest thing was, Bakugou walked away. He didn't say anything but Izuku's poor head was screaming. This was quite unusual and he wondered if the blonde boy was that angry at him or was he upset? Much to his surprise, Izuku felt hurt. Empty.
He had grown so use to the closeness Katsuki and Shouto had thrown onto him against his will and he ended up liking it anyways. Seeing the back of the blonde made his heart ache. Izuku was skittish because he was embarrassed but now he was hurt... Did someone let it slip? Did someone find out?
What was that look? What kind of look was it? I think he would've beat my ass into the ground if Shouto told him unless he's that sensitive?

The next morning, Izuku was in the laundry room. He had expected Shouto to be there but he wasn't. He actually had gotten use to the boy showing up with tea and donuts. He at least wanted him to show so he could talk to him. He wanted to know why Shouto had some weird attraction to him.
Izuku just felt sad. He looked up and around to see there was a mirror in the small bathroom. He had never went in there to use it but he was going to look in that mirror. He shut the door behind him and locked it. He checked out his face and his eyes. He had freckles and bright green eyes. He looked quite unusually normal.
Maybe I don't get it? I haven't really liked anyone since middle school since I've been so focused on being a hero...
He splashed water on his face and sighed.
Why am I so bothered by this? Why would I be? I don't want to be in some fucked up triangle.

Wednesday rolled around. Izuku sat inside the classroom, in front of Aizawa, writing down notes. He had been trying to stay absorbed in school work so he wouldn't have to think about it. He just kept seeing the weird looks on the couples' faces and he couldn't figure out what it was.
Even Hitoshi had taken notice.
"This is your last make up class."
Izuku jumped and looked up at the man.
"Huh?"
"Your last extra class."
"Oh, already?"
"Are you ok? Normally you're really good at paying attention but you've been distracted."
At least Hitoshi isn't here to make any comment.
"I don't know. I feel weird."
Aizawa arched an eyebrow, "Like... puberty weird?"
"I..."
"Toshinori said something like you caught between two boys."
Color creeped up into Izuku's face and he placed his head down.
"Oh, so it is true? Then are these boys Bakugou and Todoroki by any chance?"
Izuku's head snapped upward with a shocked look in his eyes and his mouth hanging open.
"Shinsou tells me everything pretty much. He said they were being clingy with you lately. Have you told them anything or did they find out something?"
Izuku shook his head quickly.
"Well, I have to say I'm rather surprised but I'm not. You three worked so well together in the Sports Festival but I didn't think anything more than that. You can date whoever you want. If you want, go for both. It's really uncommon but it does happen."
"I-I-I-
"I won't say anything to anyone, not even your dad. Calm down."
Izuku put his head in his hands shamefully.
"I didn't want this..."
"Hey, I didn't think I would end up with a loud ass boyfriend either but hey, you can't help who you fall in love with. He probably didn't think he would fall in love with an asshole with a monotone voice and a weird obsession with cats. Sometimes those who are different belong together. Just how the world works."
Izuku sighed.
"We talk more on it later when we both aren't busy. You still have an hour left so look alive."
"O-oh ok."

"You all know the rules. This time, I'll allow you all to break into pairs and one group of three," Aizawa said.
Shinsou wasted no time as he threw an arm around Izuku making him jump. Katsuki growled under his breath but Shouto elbowed him to be quiet. They had been super secretive and lately- they've been watching him like a hawk. It was expected of Bakugou to be moody but Shouto on the other hand- it was weird.
Aside from the weird protectiveness they leaked for Midoriya, there was Present Mic and Midnight with them this time. Izuku kind of thought it was because of the recent attack on school grounds. He really hoped he didn't see anyone quirkless and hurt again. He hadn't thought much about the attacks because he didn't want to trigger his PTSD but there was something so weird about it.
I wonder if Dad had run into him before?
The thought was cleared from his mind quickly when Hitoshi forced him forward.
"Let's go!"
Bakugou and Todoroki had been thinking about Izuku Midoriya. They had been trying ways to not hurt him. Shouto had completely avoided the green haired boy's eyes in fear that he would say something he shouldn't. Those bright eyes were big and wild with emotion and he just couldn't handle looking at them.
Katsuki couldn't even muster a word. He would just stare at Izuku without moving his lips. Izuku looked sad, terrified even but the couple never made a move towards him. They wanted to do their best to keep him safe. To keep him from the horrors he may end up seeing and patrol was going to be no different. They just had to be sure to listen and make sure Izuku wasn't near any problems.
Things had seemed fine for the most part. People were thin on the days they went on patrol like they were trying to avoid the students of UA. Katsuki Bakugou had a reputation for not taking crap so they usually thinned out people on the days they were out. It was rumor but something not really known that Shouto Todoroki was his boyfriend, only the kids in UA really knew they were.
Shouto was the son of Endeavor. That cleared people out too and it kind of hurt his feelings a little since he was nothing like him. This time, he was glad. They could keep Izuku safe from harm even being away from him. Keep him from bad people.
An hour into it, hushed voices were heard and there as a giant crowd. Katsuki barked at them to move and some people cleared out. Shouto saw the lifeless body of Edgeshot, the number four hero. He didn't really think about it when he pinged their location that Izuku would see it and possibly coming running.
The thought didn't enter his mind until his phone started ringing. He answered quickly not looking at the ID on the screen to know who was calling.
"Hello?"
"It's Shinsou, we are coming."
SHIT
"NO!" he yelled more loudly than he should have.
Shouto shot him a look. He knelt down and checked the burnt hero's pulse. He was alive.
"Then why the hell did you send out a location pin-
"Call Aizawa and let him know where we are... Um..."
"Well, what? What's the problem with us going over there?"
"Edgeshot... I don't want Deku seeing him... not like this... Like Heatwave."
Silence.
"Alright. Gonna call him now. Asshat."
"You fucker-
Click!
Katsuki growled.
"Damn it..."
"He's alive."
He looked down at Shouto.
"He looks out of it like Heatwave did. This isn't good."
"He looks better than what we heard about for the other heroes. Must've been a surprise attack."
Katsuki nodded as he shooed people away and started putting up caution tape around the area to keep people back. Aizawa showed up five minutes later.
"Good job. Go join the others. Go back to UA."
"But-
"Now... before someone who sees, shouldn't."
The couple nodded and they were gone. The teacher rubbed his temples. Things were way harder than they needed to be.
I am now having issues with my tablet and I preferred to post it through the website than the app but apparently I can't do that now lol
Have a great week everyone!
