"You've lost your damn mind," Hitoshi said looking desperate.

No one in their right mind would take on Shouto and Katsuki at the same time. It was absolutely absurd he would consider doing it.

"What do you have to prove?"

"Everything. Katsuki looks at me like I'm the biggest loser. Shouto gives me that pity look. I don't want pity. I'm going to prove myself. I am allowed to be here and I belong here."

"Alright. Tomorrow is Friday."

The class looked at each other.

"We aren't doing class work tomorrow. We have something else going on."

Aizawa gave them a weird, amused smile they all didn't see often enough.

"We are having a battle tomorrow. Though any of the three of them can decline."

Everyone started talking among each other.

"It's Midoriya versus Bakugou and Todoroki."

The class became quiet.

"You can all leave."

Izuku grabbed his bag and he was out first wanting to stay away from everyone else. Either they were going to tell him he couldn't do it or that it was insane and he needed to give up now. He wouldn't hear it from anyone and he did not care if he broke every bone in his body- he was going to defeat them both in a crushing victory. He was tired of their shit.

Mostly Bakugou's though.

It was sometime later when his phone started ringing. Izuku picked it up and answered it.

"Izuku... Are you sure you're up to this?"

It was All Might.

"Toshi!"

"Are you trying to hurt yourself?"

"No."

"What happened? Shouta wouldn't answer me-

"I want to prove myself. I want to show everyone I am meant to be there."

"Is this because of what happened with Heatwave?"

Izuku sighed.

"A little but... I want to do it for myself. I need to prove it to myself."

"Izuku... I... I'll be there to watch."

"Really?" he asked sounding more cheerful.

"Yea. There is something I have to tell you though."

"You sound off?"

"I want you to be careful and I'm not trying to scare you but Heatwave... She lost her quirk."

Izuku felt his heart almost stop.

"Wha- what?"

"They said she lost her quirk. She said she couldn't activate it anymore. The doctor said it might be trauma but..."

"Is this something you want to tell me in person?" Izuku asked.

"It might be."

"Alright."

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye Dad."

"Bye."

Izuku was in a room that he was locked in to keep Katsuki away from him. All Might stood outside of his door just in case anything happened. Izuku had stared at his costume his mother had made him some time back. It matched his sketch perfectly. He smiled fondly at it as he pulled it out.

I'm ready. With Dad's quirk and Mom's handy work... I can do this.

He felt they were the two strongest in his class next to himself. Honestly, he would take them all on if they would let him. He wouldn't mind the training against different quirks. He almost wished Hitoshi's worked on him so he could fight it off.

"Are you ready?"

It was Aizawa.

"Yes Uncle Shouta."

He opened the door revealing himself to All Might and Aizawa. The two of them stared at him funny.

"Um..."

"What? I designed it off of All Might... a long time ago... my Mom made it for me too."

All Might smiled, "I like it."

Shouta rolled his eyes and walked off with Izuku behind him.

They were in the middle of the giant stadium where they held the Sports Festival. There were some pro heroes there and a lot of students. He didn't think that many people would be there for it. He spotted Endeavor easily. There was a blonde woman with red eyes that could be Katsuki's mother but he wouldn't know without asking.

Izuku stepped onto the concrete platform to see the couple was already there. The two of them weren't holding hands and they had visible distressed looks on their faces. Izuku found this slightly odd and wondered if it had to do with Shouto's father. Maybe he wasn't ok with the fact his son was gay?

"Anything goes," Aizawa said, "No murdering or permanent maiming. Knock out completely or give up."

I plan for it be a knockout. Both of them.

Aizawa blew a whistle and Bakugou charged in at him first even with Shouto yelling at him to stop. Shouto already knew how calculating Izuku was and that was the blonde's first and biggest mistake. All that racing he had done with Tenya was not for nothing. Izuku took the blast from Katsuki head on and slammed a fist into his gut.

Spit went flying and Bakugou landed on the grass outside of the platform. He wasn't unconscious so it wasn't a knockout. Shouto stared back at Izuku with big eyes. He had not expected that. Izuku hadn't seen too many of Shouto's moves because he was able to finish his matches quickly.

He was ready for anything.

Shouto flung his arm upward making jagged ice race towards Izuku but he had a big counter for it. Flames shot out of his mouth almost in a bluish hue melting the ice quickly in a flash and the concrete had turned an orange color. Shouto had moved out of the way but the expression on his face was clear: WHAT THE FUCK.

If he wanted a battle of flames, he could counter it with a hottest hit that Shouto wasn't able to manage just yet apparently. He could hear Endeavor yelling something but he couldn't hear it but apparently Todoroki could. He looked upset and annoyed. Katsuki finally managed to get up with a pale face.

"That was a fucking hit," he choked out.

"What did you do to make him mad?" Shouto asked looking annoyed.

"Nothing."

Shouto sighed angrily.

His flames are way hotter than my own. I don't know how he could produce something like that and be ok. He looks so determined to beat us...

"What are we going to do?" Shouto asked.

Midoriya looked like he had nothing left to lose.

"He looks like you."

"Use your flames and ice at the same time."

Shouto frowned, "Are you trying to KO him?"

"He's one person and that's the only way we win."

"It'll short out my bracelets. I don't want heat stroke or frost bite."

"Fine, I'll go in with my gauntlet attacks."

"Isn't that a little bit of overkill-

"He launched me across the arena!"

Shouto snapped his mouth shut.

"Let's charge him at the same time."

Not a great plan but what else can we do? Shouto thought sourly.

They didn't have time to charge him like they wanted. Izuku sent himself flying through the air and sent out a thin stream of flames at them catching the grass on fire. Shouto put it out quickly when his boyfriend jerked him forward. Izuku looked like he had expected them to go running together but he landed on the ground making it buckle under him.

What the fuck is with this kid? He was... useless! I beat him and here he is displaying power like... like I wouldn't fucking believe.

Without warning, Shouto wrapped an arm around his waist and shot them into the air on ice. The two of them watched as Izuku walked over and grabbed the ice. The bottom of his pillar started to melt rapidly. The tower came tumbling down. Bakugou tried grabbing Shouto's hand but it was too late.

The boy came flying upward at Shouto. A cocky grin appeared on his face as he grabbed Shouto's right hand with one hand. Ice shot up Izuku's arm but he looked like he wasn't phased by this at all. He maneuvered them both in the air and flung the dual user downward.

Katsuki had no idea how Izuku managed to fire himself downward like a bullet when his feet connected with Shouto's stomach. They slammed into the platform below, shattering rock. The blonde felt his stomach knot. There was no way his boyfriend was conscious after that.

Fuck- Shouto! FUCK!

He landed back on the ground, not very gracefully. He raced towards the clearing smoke to see Shouto laying in the rock without moving. Izuku was checking his pulse and nodded to Aizawa that he was ok. Izuku whipped back around to Katsuki. The look on the boy's face was almost a little scary.

"Don't you think that was a little harsh?" Katsuki asked looking at him.

"You didn't seem to think so when you threw me against the wall and kept calling me Deku. I'm not so defenseless now, am I?"

The blonde said nothing.

"You wanna keep going or you want to give up?"

"Why couldn't you have knocked me out first instead of him?" Katsuki asked so quietly no one but Izuku heard.

His expression softened. Katsuki ran a hand through his sweaty hair and ran in at him. Izuku dodged and dropped down, kicking him legs from underneath him. Katsuki let off a blast and threw himself into the air but it was a fatal mistake. Izuku threw himself higher and slammed his balled fists together into his back.

Bakugou slammed into the concrete blasting more rock everywhere. Izuku ran into the dust to see if the other boy was ok. He was hell bent on defeating him, not killing him. Katsuki was fine, he was just dazed somewhat. Izuku snapped his fingers in front of his face.

"Fuck... I can't..."

His head flopped back.

Izuku had won.

A few hours later Katsuki and Shouto woke up in Recovery Girl's office. Shouto was still out of it a little but he sat up and rubbed his eyes. He blinked the black spots away to see Izuku Midoriya sitting there with a box of donuts and three foam cups. He had no idea what to say.

"Goddamn..."

Katsuki rubbed his temples then saw the green haired boy sitting there. Angry was sparked inside of him but it wasn't because of Izuku but because he had messed up. He caused his boyfriend to get his ass dropped in front of his asshole father.

"Why the fuck are you here?" he snapped.

"I wanted to make sure you were ok."

"What's wrong with you?" Bakugou yelled.

"Your mother said to tell you to umm... knock your shit off?" Izuku said with a smile, "I suppose Uncle Shouta told her everything and she was mad."

"Goddamnit."

"I thought since you had shared your donuts and tea with me once, I would get you some back. To make up for it."

He scooted his chair in between the two beds and then dragged the small table with wheels between them.

"You don't have to eat if you don't want too but Recovery Girl said it was ok."

Shouto said nothing as he took a donut and a cup of tea from him.

"Thank you," he murmured.

Katsuki shot his boyfriend a dirty look.

"I don't want any."

Izuku smiled and said nothing. Once he finished his donut and tea, he left leaving the couple alone to rest and recover.
