Shouto pulled himself from his pillow and rubbed his eyes. He hadn't slept like that in a long time. He looked over to see his boyfriend still sound asleep. He smiled as he ran his fingers through his spiky blonde hair. He looked so innocent while he slept.
I wonder how today will be. I hope he'll behave this time around.
"Time to wake up."
"Ughhhh."
"Come on. It's six in the morning. We have to get for school."
"Unnnnn."
"You promised to get up at six. We are breaking the rules and I don't want to have to bribe someone be quiet."
"Fuck 'em."
Shouto snorted. He shook Bakugou a little harder until he got up. They got out of bed and headed for the door, ignoring the fact they were in their boxers. Shouto opened the door yawning and they walked through. He opened his eyes to see Izuku Midoriya staring at him and his cheeks were flaming red.
Oh no...
Shouto almost started to panic until Bakugou grabbed his hand.
"What are you staring at?!"
Izuku let out a soft squeak and ran for the bathroom.
"Ugh, we are going to the bathroom too," Katsuki groaned.
"What did you expect?"
The couple held hands down the hallway and walked into the bathroom to run into Izuku again. His head whipped around to face them as his cheeks started to color pink again. This day was already awkward enough as it was. It was making Katsuki mad because he just wanted to shower with his boyfriend.
"Can you fucking leave or something?"
"I have to s-shower."
Shouto walked passed the blushing boy into one of the showers. Izuku went to one of the other showers turning to hide away from the couple. It was obvious he didn't want any problems with them but Katsuki still found him very annoying. Probably half of it was because he got caught looking at him.
He didn't blame his boyfriend though. The boy was so cute looking in general. He had just the biggest, innocent eyes but they looked so different that day with the ball. Shouto saw the way his eyes lit up with a fire he had only ever seen in Katsuki's eyes. The determination in his eyes was undeniable. It fascinated him.
"Fucking weirdo."
"He's nervous. You blew up a couch in front of him," Shouto stated as he washed his hair.
Katsuki closed the curtain with a jerking motion and rolled his eyes.
"I wonder what we have to do today," he asked rinsing out his hair now, "Last year we faced Aizawa and All Might."
"I'll win regardless of who I'm against."
Shouto rolled his eyes with a smirk on his face.
"You're still with me for the Sports Festival, right?" Bakugou asked poking his boyfriend on the cheek.
"Of course. I don't know why you ask."

Class 1A was gathered outside in their blue training uniforms waiting on Aizawa to get there. Shouto noticed Izuku was off more by himself instead of being by Shinsou like he had been the last two days he was there. He had a weird look on his face like he was scared somewhat unless he found out who he was up against. He wonder if Shinsou had told him something.
Izuku looked up in time to see Shouto staring at him and he shrank away then turned his back on the dual user. Was Midoriya really that afraid of Katsuki he wouldn't lock eyes with him or was it because he was embarrassed from this morning? It wasn't that awkward for him but it was for Bakugou since he was the walking definition of jealously.
"Alright everyone. I randomly drew names. Myself, Midnight, Present Mic, All Might and Nezu will be assessing your use of your quirk. So this year you will face each other."
Shouto saw the excitement on everyone's faces except Izuku. The green haired boy paled like he saw a ghost. He was beginning to wonder if he was even cut out for the hero thing.
I wonder who he would be up against. I guess Mineta or Kaminari would be better for him or even Ashido...
"Midoriya versus Bakugou."
Shouto snapped out of his thoughts. His eyes went to Midoriya's face. There it was... horror. His boyfriend looked so annoyed and Shouto knew he wouldn't take it easy. He didn't care that Izuku was a new kid or even behind. He didn't take it easy on Uraraka either in the Sports Festival the first year either.
This isn't good.
Izuku looked like he was going to vomit as his turn got closer. He watched as Shouto had taken out Kirishima without too many problems. The red haired boy laughed it off and thanked Shouto for the fight. Midoriya had three matches to go before it was his turn. He had noticed Aizawa would glance over in the new boy's direction.
The teachers watched without saying a word but at some point he saw All Might look at Izuku. He gave the boy a thumbs up and he managed a wobbly smile in return but it wasn't a confident one.
That's unusual. Do they know each other?
"Midoriya, Bakugou. Step up."
Here it goes.
Katsuki flashed him a grin and winked like the cheesy dork he was sometimes making Shouto blush slightly. Midoriya didn't look any more confident than before. He saw those nervous green eyes look back up at All Might. He really wondered what was going on.
"GO IZUKU!" Shinsou yelled.
A small grin appeared on the boy's face. He looked back and gave Shinsou a thumbs up. There it was... the fire in his eyes was lit.
"Start."
Bakugou wasted no time. He blasted himself forward and swung at Izuku at a fast pace that Shouto barely had any time to follow. The new kid blocked it without much effort before letting out a blast of fire from his mouth. There was a few gasps from their classmates. No one really had too much of an idea what his quirk was and there... It looked so...
Familiar.
"Fuck!"
Bakugou ripped off his shirt and threw it to the side. He had been so surprised by this. He noticed that the green haired boy waited. He wasn't stupid... his green eyes watching diligently. There was a lot more behind that timid look and those scared green eyes... he was analyzing everything so easily and that made him dangerous.
Katsuki didn't see it that way though. He charged in again and swung at Izuku again but it didn't work. Izuku blocked it and threw a punch. It connected with the blonde's gut. The look of surprise was hard to miss as Izuku swung his leg sending Bakugou flying.
For someone of Izuku's size, he was surprisingly powerful.
Bakugou went to get up and Izuku let out another blast of fire. He narrowly missed. The angry look on his face was a little scary even for Shouto. He already knew what he was thinking. Was he even surprised? The quirk tests on their first day screamed hero but the paper test yesterday would've been enough to expel even the best student...
Midoriya is about to get the full blast of his power. He was holding back on purpose but why?
Izuku didn't look like he was getting cocky or anything. He was just calculating everything as it happened. Katsuki let it all out and blasted at him at full speed. The new kid didn't look like he was surprised or in shock by any means... It was like he expected it. Shouto glanced up at All Might who looked like he was on the edge of his seat.
What is it that All Might sees in him?

Oh no oh no oh no
Izuku was screaming in his head like a crazy person. He was good at keeping a calm expression but inside he was a wreck. Katsuki Bakugou was not someone to mess with and that was very clear. Izuku had to calm and rational because if he went of the handle he would fall and be defeated.
"What's wrong with you?!" Bakugou screamed.
I was hoping he was going to be quiet. Ugh.
"Are you a fucking chicken or what?!"
Without meaning too, Izuku arched an eyebrow at him.
What's he trying to do?
He heard a few of them snicker and giggle. Izuku remained silent though.
"I thought you were their special boy?" he taunted.
The color drained from his face quickly and he swallowed. He saw the weird look on Aizawa's face like he was pissed.
"Are you just going to keep running your damn mouth or you actually going to put up a fight?" Izuku snapped.
Katsuki's face turned pink with fury and embarrassment. Shouta slapped his face in annoyance. Normally Izuku wouldn't snap at anyone but he was losing patience really fast. This boy was trying to make him made but instead, Izuku made him mad.
Battling live people wasn't some Izuku did often. He wanted to fight. He wanted to get better because one day he would have to go out there and face a villain. He would face someone like Stain and he needed that experience now even if he lost. This wasn't some game.
Bakugou went flying at him and hit in the side of the face. Izuku slammed back into the ground as Katsuki came flying down at him. He swung a leg out and it connected with the explosive blonde's side. He grunted as he was flung to the side. He went flying into the wall cracking it.
Ugh, my leg feels like it's bruised now. I didn't mean to force that much power out at once.
Izuku got back up and limped a little. This was not good. He knew Katsuki would end up beating the shit out of him now. The best he could do was use his fire as best as he could. This was a quirk control test. He had two of them and he just felt like he failed considering he hurt himself because of One for All.
Shit. It was about quirk control not winning. I don't think he understood what this was about.
Even if he understood, he didn't give a crap. He came back and attacked Izuku with a barge of quick attacks. The One for All user had no time to react offensively but he could take every hit until he had a chance for an opening. He held up his arms and left his palms open absorbing every ounce of heat from Bakugou's attacks.
"FIGHT ME!"
Katsuki found a way and punched Deku in the face. He fell backwards and went to swing at him while he was on the ground when he was stopped. Aizawa's capture tape was wrapped around him tightly. Izuku sat up seeing his opponent was frozen in his spot. Bakugou let out an inhuman growl.
"I was fine!" Izuku yelled feeling slightly angry.
"Your arms are bleeding badly. Any further you may have to stay in the hospital," Shouta said, "Calm yourself."
The capture tape disappeared from Bakugou's body.
"What does it matter?" he sneered, "You're just the defenseless little Izuku Midoriya. Fucking Deku."
The blonde walked away leaving Izuku to get up by himself.
"Go to Recovery Girl-
"No."
Izuku went back inside of the school. He went out the front and towards the dorms. He didn't want to talk to anyone and he wanted to be alone. He was mad at himself. He could've defended himself if he had the chance.
His green eyes watered up as he slammed his bedroom door.

The rest of the matches were finished. Aizawa decided to call it an early day and everyone headed back for their dorms. Shouto stood there staring at his boyfriend. He had never seen him so angry to actually hurt someone so badly like that. Not even a villain. Did something happen between them?
"Kat-
"Bakugou, classroom. NOW."
Katsuki scoffed at him but did as he asked.
What happened?
Shouto went back to the dorms. He knew his boyfriend would be beyond pissed but he went to Izuku's door. He stood there staring at it for five minutes when Hitoshi saw him standing there. It was a strange sight to see since Shouto only really talked to Katsuki, Tenya and Ochako. Shouto raised his hand to knock but the purple haired boy grabbed his arm.
"Don't you think you two caused him enough problems?"
"What do you mean?" Shouto asked.
"I see the way the both of you look at him and quite frankly, it freaks me out. He's trying hard enough to do for himself."
Midoriya's bedroom door swung open.
"Oh."
Izuku hid his face from Shouto.
"What do you want?"
"I'm here to say sorry."
Hitoshi looked shocked. Izuku didn't say anything.
"He shouldn't have done that to you."
Izuku rolled his eyes.
"That was literally my second real fight ever. When Aizawa whooped me repeatedly almost two hundred times, I didn't actually fight until the last time so that was my first fight. I spar but I don't count that since no one really used their quirks."
"You haven't fought before?" Shouto asked in shock.
"No."
"Damn Izuku... That's impressive," Hitoshi said with a smile.
"Then... it was a complete beat down... You're inexperienced," Shouto said.
"Don't say anything to him. He can have his win. You'll probably say something to him anyways but the next time, I won't lose."
Izuku backed into his room.
"Wait- aren't you going to go to Recovery Girl?" Shouto asked looking concerned.
"No. I want a reminder of what I need to do. Wouldn't be the first time I got scarred."
Hitoshi shook his head.
"You wanna play some games?"
"I can for a couple hours. I have to meet Aizawa for lesson at four."
Shinsou nodded. He closed the door in Todoroki's face leaving him slightly baffled.
