"Welcome back to the Sports Festival!" Midnight yelled with a big grin on her face, "The first round will be a Quirk Race! You can team up from two to five people. You must use your quirk the best you can to pass the finish line and you must work together! The first six teams to win are going to the second round. You have thirty minutes to get together and work out a plan!"

This isn't good. I'm fast but I don't think I can beat Iida at all. I don't know anyone's quirk at all. This is Class 1A, 1B, General and Supporter. If Iida wasn't first, I would be surprised but... how could I be in the top six?

Hitoshi took one step forward towards his friend when Denki stopped him.

"Mina and I are ready."

"What?"

"You promised to team up with us, remember?" he said throwing an arm around his shoulders with a big smile.

"Oh yea, well let me ask Izuku-

It was too late. Shouto and Katsuki had cornered him. Izuku jumped when they rushed at him. He looked surprised at first then then his face became serious.

Damnit, he could've been our speed on Mina's acid. Oh well.

He turned around and started talking to Denki about their plan.

"You want me to help you?"

"Why not Deku? We have to be in the top six."

Izuku scratched his cheek.

"I suppose that would work. My quirk isn't as powerful as yours but I can try to keep up. It's a three mile track right?"

"Yes it is."

"I'm the fire power, so I should be in the middle," Katsuki declared looking quite proud of himself.

"No, Shouto should be."

"What?" he snapped.

"I can force heat out of my hands after I absorb enough."

"Shut the fuck up."

Izuku arched an eyebrow.

"It fuels my fire breathing actually. I can take Shouto's left side while you take the right side. He emits more heat on that side and it would be more beneficial for me that way. I want to win."

Shouto looked shocked but Bakugou gave him a grin.

"You think we can win? Against engine legs over there?"

Izuku nodded quickly, "I do. You and I need to fire off at the same time with one hand while we link arms with Shouto. It'll help me at the same time and get us across. What do you think?"

"So that's how you launched yourself into the air?" Katsuki asked.

Izuku nodded quickly.

"I can use my ice to create a slippery surface to prevent resistance and we go further."

"Do we not know what the other two rounds will be?" Izuku asked.

The couple shook their heads.

"It's a surprise. We will be stuck together through this whole thing."

"That's fine by me."

"Would you be ok with second place?" Shouto asked, "A lot of the others have gotten faster- stronger."

The boy scratched his head.

"Second is the lowest I'll allow but I want to win all three rounds."

"I fucking love that. I want to win too."

"FIVE MINUTE WARNING!"

Shouto could see the twinkling in their eyes making him shake his head. He never aimed to win but he usually did anyways.

"I suppose there's no talking either one of you out of being aggressive about this?"

They both shook their head with devious grins on their faces.

"Let's get ready."

The trio walked over with the rest of the students who were gearing up to race. Izuku could see Hitoshi and waved to him. The purple haired boy rolled his eyes but smiled anyways. He wandered what his plan was considering he could only control minds and he didn't have his capture tape. Mina had acid and Denki... he had lightning.

"GET READY SET GO!"

It seemed like seconds as Shouto created a sheet up ice and they crouched down. Katsuki yelled 'go' and they fired off speeding passed the others. They weren't in first place yet but they had to jump over the other. Izuku frowned looking at Katsuki who had the same thought but Shouto had a soft smile on his face.

"Oh no!" the blonde yelled but it was too late for Izuku to brace himself.

Ice shot out in front of them into a giant ramp. Katsuki barked out 'go' whenever they needed it and Izuku listened. Shouto continually funneled heat out his body for the boy to use his quirk. It seemed like things were going well until they neared the inch of the ramp. Izuku swallowed hard almost scared for his life.

He didn't want to screw things up for them. He didn't want to be the reason they failed.

"DEKU NOW!"

The three of them went sailing through the air, over everyone. A few of them looked up to see the top three of 1A sailing through the air like birds. Another ramp of ice appeared and they started sailing downward after Izuku struggled to land back onto his feet. Ice continued to spread out further in front of them until it stopped at the finish line.

"ALMOST THERE!" Shouto yelled so they could hear him.

"DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH HEAT?!" Katsuki yelled.

"HOW MUCH DO I NEED?!"

"I WANNA FLY THROUGH THESE FUCKERS!" the blonde yelled with a big grin on his face.

"SHOUTO TURN IT UP!"

Flames started to flicker off his body burning his shirt a little bit.

"GOOD ENOUGH?!"

"YES!"

"READY?!"

"READY!"

"GO!"

Between Katsuki's blast and Izuku's abnormally large heat wave, Iida, Ochako and Tsuyu were blown backwards about six feet. They were on the trio's tail but it didn't last long and it wasn't intentional they were blown backwards but it happened anyways. They slid through the finish line hitting dirt and all three of them fell face first. Izuku stumbled to his feet first with a bloody lip, firing One for All and forcefully grabbing his teammates to their feet.

Shouto wiped the dirt off his face and started laughing. Katsuki had a bloody nose and it dripped down his lip mixing with blood but he couldn't help but laugh too. They won- they really won! Izuku grabbed their hands, making them stumble out of the way of the others who would pass through, laughing triumphantly.

The couple's faces turned bright pink suddenly realizing that Izuku was holding their hands with a big smile on his freckled face.

"WE DID IT!" he yelled.

"BAKUGOU, MIDORIYA AND TODOROKI FOR THE WIN!" Midnight screamed.

The crowd roared with excitement. Iida's team came in second, then a five man team from class 1B, Eijirou's team and Hitoshi's team. Izuku cheered for his best friend and jumped onto him giving him a hug. The two of them laughed as they rolled on the dirt covered ground.

"WE WILL HAVE A FORTY MINUTE INTERMISSION BEFORE THE NEXT ROUND! EVERYONE GET READY!"

"I cannot believe you teamed up with them."

"What do you mean?"

The purple haired boy sat up.

"You didn't tell me you spent the night in Bakugou's room."

Izuku's poor face turned an unhealthy shade of red.

"IT WASN'T LIKE THAT!" he screeched and Shinsou laughed.

"I'm playing. I do think they like you though."

"Shut up!" he hissed quietly, "It was just video games!"

He rolled his eyes and got up then helped Izuku up.

"Let's get something to drink!" Hitoshi said and the two of them ran off.

Shouto and Katsuki looked at each other with weird glances. They were both thinking the same thing. They were both really surprised by Izuku suddenly affection but he was so excited they had won. It was pretty nice.

"Would you like a victory kiss?" Shouto asked.

"What-

Shouto caressed his face and pulled him in for a forceful kiss. The couple embraced each other not seeing Izuku come back. He had thought it was rude he didn't ask his teammates if they wanted something but he stopped in his tracks to stare at them. For some odd reason his heart dropped and he felt ugly... with jealously.

Oh... well I mean they are together. What's wrong with me...?

"I um..."

The couple broke apart and stared at him.

"S-sorry," Shouto said clearing his throat.

"I was going to ask if you need a victory drink?" the green haired boy asked quietly.

They both nodded. The two of them were flustered like they were caught cheating.

"Sorry for that," Katsuki said with a light blush across his cheeks.

"It's ok! That's what couples do, right?" he said laughing it off.

The couple joined Izuku and Shinsou at the drink stand. The purple haired boy arched an eyebrow at them like he didn't think they belonged there. He could also sense the awkwardness between the three of them. It was very... weird?

"What do you guys want?" Izuku asked trying to make things better or just to ignore the weirdness going on.

"Sure. Water," Katsuki said.

"Lemonade please."

Izuku bought everyone's drinks and handed them off to his friends. They still had twenty minutes left before they had to go for the second round. No one spoke a word until All Might came up to them with a big grin on his face.

"Hello boys! You did a good job out there! Congrats for making the six passing teams!"

"Thanks Da- All Might," Izuku said with a guilty grin.

"You're welcome my boy!"

"I'm excited for the next round! I want to see how you four are going to do!" All Might said.

"Me too!" Izuku said grinning.

"Good luck boys!"

All Might left them alone, leaving them more relaxed than they had been.

"Ready to head back down?" Katsuki asked.

Shouto nodded and looked back at Izuku and Shinsou.

"Do you want to go with us?" he asked, addressing them both.

"Be there shortly."

The couple left them alone. Izuku ran a hand through his hair.

Why would I feel so weird? I mean... We are just friends. I shouldn't feel like that but I do. I'm jealous. What the hell am I thinking?

"Let's go!" Izuku said jumping up with a fake cheery voice.

Oh my god. He really is a problem child, Hitoshi thought and shook his head. He followed his friend to the field for the next Sports Festival round.
