Izuku was so confused. Even Hitoshi shot him weird looks and Izuku was pleading for his friend to rescue him. Shouto, Katsuki or both of them at the same time started smothering him with their idea of 'friendship'. Neither boy cared if they crashed their alone time.

What is with them?

Katsuki was looking through his All Might magazines and Shouto was looking through his book collection. Hitoshi only shook his head. They couldn't discuss anything together with them there. Even when Toshi came by after Izuku's extra class, they were plastered at his side. There had to be something he wasn't seeing.

Finally he made it outside alone and called Shinsou.

"Hey."

"What's going on with you three?"

"I don't know!"

"What happened at the pizza shoppe?"

"They talked to me a little bit and they figured out who I was. Well... They've been keeping everyone off of me so I don't know..."

"I guess that's an upside to the weirdness that's been going on."

"I know but..."

"Tomorrow we can train with Shouta. I already asked him if I could. I'm sure he would love it if you went too."

"Alright. I would love that."

"I figured as much," he said laughing.

"I miss the beat downs. He keeps me on my toes."

"I bet. One day, it would be fun to see you and All Might go at it. I know One for All is kind of iffy for you still but it would be awesome."

Izuku smiled. It would be awesome to go against the hero he admired and wished to be like.

"Well, see you when you come back in."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Izuku wandered around the training areas around the school then settled for putting his feet in the water. His great mood plummeted quickly. He had always wanted to fight against his dad. Not to fight like he was mad but to see how strong he was. Izuku would never have that chance.

Why do I have to think about that now? Yea, having a match or two against All Might would be fun but it's not Dad. Would he even want to do something like that?

His eyes started to water. He wiped a few tears away from his face.

"Deku."

He jumped and saw Katsuki standing by the fence. He wiped his face quickly.

"What?"

"Are you crying?"

"No," Izuku said flatly.

"Liar."

The blonde kicked his shoes off then pulled his socks off. He sat down by Izuku, dipping his feet into the water.

"Something bothering you?"

Izuku sighed and shook his head.

The two of them sat there for a while. Izuku was doing his best to hold back the tears but it wasn't working. He only stared into the water trying to calm himself. Katsuki wasn't the emotional type but Shouto always told him that just sitting there was sometimes the best way you could make a person feel better.

It seemed there was a lot going on with Flamethrower's kid. There were no recent stories about him. It was like he almost didn't exist. The only proof he was ever alive and well was the fact that his son was sitting there beside of him.

"Um, hey."

Izuku looked up at him. His green curls were plastered to his face where he had been crying. Much to his surprise Bakugou brushed his hair off his face and wiped his tears. It was very surprising gesture and one that definitely wasn't like Katsuki Bakugou at all.

The both of them were just swept up from the emotion of the situation that they couldn't help but stare. It was odd indeed since Katsuki only ever did stuff like that for Shouto. He barely treated his friends right but hell he practically worshiped the ground his boyfriend walked on.

But...

Here he was staring in those big emerald eyes. They were unnaturally bright and full of life. Katsuki forgot where he was and leaned in slowly. Izuku squeaked leaning back, breaking the odd spell that overcame the blonde. He blinked for a minute and got up.

That small moment wasn't private though. Shouto saw the whole thing.

Instead of being pissed off that his boyfriend of almost two years kissed another boy, he felt... Jealous. How the hell did that work? It didn't work like that but Shouto had never gotten that close to him yet. All Bakugou did was brush the hair off his face.

It looked like Midoriya had been crying. His face had a pink tinge to it. His face turned bright red when the blonde leaning towards him.

He turned around and walked away.

Katsuki walked quickly away from the pool when he saw his boyfriend. His poor heart almost stopped. He had fucked up worse than when he blew up the couch. He almost kissed that boy. What the hell was wrong with him?!

Oh fucking shit. Shit shit shit-

He didn't want to travel too close to him since he was panicking and might say something to make things worse. He jumped as Deku sped past him at an insane amount of speed. His face was still bright red and he looked like he was panicking. What the hell did he do?!

I am the biggest fucking idiot. I swear to god. Now I gotta look him in the face-

"Are you ok?" Shouto asked putting his right hand against Katsuki's face, "Do you have a fever?"

"No... I'm sorry."

He blinked giving him a confused expression.

"You shouldn't be sorry if you got sick."

"What?"

Did he not see anything?

"Katsuki?"

"It's just hot is all."

"Oh, let me help with that then."

He let out a very thin layer of frost across his forehead.

"Is that better?"

The blonde nodded.

"You wanna watch Tv for a bit before bed?"

He nodded again and Shouto flashed him a bright smile.

Damn I don't see that smile enough.

What was that?!

Izuku had flipped off his lights as soon as he came into him room. He locked the door and kicked off his shoes. He dove right into his bed, grabbing a pillow and squeezing it for dear life. He was freaking out. How does that weird stuff keep happening?!

None of that happens with Hitoshi! Why is it always those two?!

Izuku screamed into his pillow trying to figure out the problems racing through his brain. He heard his phone ding and he knew it had to be Hitoshi. He didn't want to talk to him. He didn't want to do anything.

Izuku squeezed his eyes shut and ignored the world around him.

Throughout the day, he would sneak peeks at Katsuki. Izuku had no idea why he did but yesterday was like a little weird dream he secretly liked. He tossed and turned all night thinking about the blonde boy. He shouldn't be thinking about him like that.

He had a boyfriend.

He had considered Shouto, Katsuki and Hitoshi his rivals without outright telling them that.

"Problem child!"

Izuku jumped in his seat. He looked around to see the room was empty with only him, Shinsou and Aizawa remaining.

"Uncle Shouta?"

"Go get ready."

The two boys raced for the dressing room.

Izuku collapsed on his bed in his hero costume. He had hoped Shouta beating the shit out of him would work but it didn't. He hadn't stopped thinking of Bakugou. He had chapped lips, bruises and cuts for no reason. Even Shouta had noticed he seemed off.

Damnit

He flopped over onto his back and stared at the ceiling.

I'm in trouble.

Well, I am updating again but some bad news. My laptop is a piece of shit lmao well my battery won't charge while plugged in and after several hours of trying to fix it I'm going to put it down for a while and see it will fix it. Apparently a lot of window users had this same problem and i've been having it for a while. Only difference this time was I had fixed it and it stopped working n I didn't know. The battery dropped to 10%. so this is the last chapter for a while until I can post again.

BUT we will still be working on it! Raimundo is still alive and well lol

I love you guys and thank you for your patience!
