It was later in the afternoon now and Izuku hadn't come out unless it was to use the restroom. He couldn't face the couple, especially Shouto after what had happened. Never in his life had that ever happened AND it just had to happen while he spent the night in their room of all places. It had to be the way Katsuki was looking at him. The way he was so close, it was almost criminal for the way he felt.

I just wanted to be a hero. I didn't ask for any of this.

His face started to heat up again thinking of Katsuki. The way his red eyes were so fierce and hungry looking. He grabbed his pillow and screamed into it like a crazy person but at least no one was there to see it. Was he missing something? Was he sending mixed signals? When did wanting to win the Sports Festival become the quest for his virginity?

How can I even ask Toshinori anything? I don't know what to even say... What would Shouto say if he knew his boyfriend was getting too close to me when he wasn't looking? He could beat my ass...

Izuku screamed into his pillow again. He only wanted to be a hero... not be a boy involved into a love triangle.

"I know he likes me."

Shouto pulled out a DVD from his bookcase.

"Why's that?"

"You should've seen the look on his face. I was inches away from kissing him."

The hybrid boy stared down at his boyfriend.

"I thought we were going to ask together?"

He gave Katsuki a pouty look and he almost laughed.

"You're right but I wanted to know what he felt being near us."

Todoroki popped the movie in and sat down.

"I haven't really had a turn to try anything on him."

"Are you jealous?"

"A little bit actually, yes."

"I heard the others saying he didn't really want to come out of his room any. I know he's going home on Friday."

"I have today and tomorrow then. After the movie, I'll take him dinner."

The blonde shrugged, "He's been avoiding everyone because his secret was out."

"Being the son of a hero isn't easy. It's just hard to believe Flamethrower had a child. I never even heard of him talk about his family."

"The fact is Deku is talented. Smart and observant but it was like he was hidden in a cave. No one knew about him and it was like he kind of never existed."

"He must've had his reasons. It's dangerous because the children become the target."

"That's true."

They barely made it half way through the movie when Shouto got up and grabbed his hero costume case. He had always made it a habit to use his temperature control bracelets since Mei had made some alternations to them so he could use his power at full strength. Shouto had almost given himself frostbite a few times.

"Can't sit still huh?"

"No, not right now. I'll see you later."

He bent down and kissed Katsuki's lips quickly and headed out.

"I love you."

"I love you too Icyhot."

Shouto made his way down to the training field and let his ice and fire loose. He had come a long way since his first year. He could barely use both at once for more than a few seconds. He still loved using his icy side more since it was a reminder of his wonderful and caring mother.

He hadn't realized Izuku had been watching him for fifteen minutes when he took a break. His poor arm felt like it was sun burnt a little. He turned to see Izuku standing there in his costume with a weird look on his face. He looked conflicted.

"Did you want to train?" Shouto asked.

Izuku nodded slowly.

"Come on over. I don't mind sharing."

Izuku's face flushed some but he nodded before walking over. He stood by Todoroki putting a crooked smile on his face. His cute freckled face looked so unsure about being there. He looked like had something on his mind but he stayed quiet.

Shouto said nothing either as he returned using his quirks, switching between them occasionally. Midoriya made no move to he watched without a word. He started murmuring to himself but Shouto couldn't make anything out he was saying. After another fifteen minutes he rested again.

"Why is your ice stronger than your fire?" he finally asked.

Todoroki stared at him.

"You could tell that? Just from standing there and watching?"

Izuku nodded.

"I had noticed at what great lengths your ice could go but the fire paled in comparison. I was never too flashy with my quirk and I held myself back but you... you were trying really hard and it made no sense."

A dark look overtook Shouto's face. His usually calm and soft expression was gone.

"I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have bothered."

Izuku went to leave when a cold hand grabbed his arm. He turned around to stare at Todoroki. He saw it- the pain in those gray and blue eyes. Without thinking about it, he hugged the dual user tight like he was trying to fix all the broken pieces of his soul. Shouto hugged him back and let out a shaky sigh.

"I'm sorry... I don't know what's hurting you but... I am sorry."

"Thank you."

The boys broke apart and Shouto's face was a little pink.

"I um... hate the fire. That's all."

Izuku scratched his head.

"Why is that?" he asked quietly.

"I hate my father. I hate his power."

Izuku looked shocked.

"That's ridiculous."

"Why is that?" he snapped back, looking terrifyingly angry.

"It's your power and you're body. None of that is his at all."

Shouto stepped back like he was just shocked by the revelation of it all.

"Oh. Oh."

"Are you ok?" Izuku asked looking slightly worried.

"I-I'm fine! You want to train with me?"

"I don't mind watching. I do have a question though. Does it hurt when you use your fire?"

Shouto shrugged, "After a while, why?"

"Why don't you use your right hand to cool down your left while you use your fire? Or maybe spread a thin layer of frost onto your left to keep you from overheating? I think that's what your bracelets are for but maybe that would help too?"

Shouto looked thoughtful.

"I can try."

Izuku watched and gave out tips every few tries the hybrid boy had given. It seemed like the fire was burning hotter and brighter than before. His left side wasn't aching as bad as it had in the past from overuse. He felt so much better. It was all thanks to the words of boy who worried about him.

"Want to practice in the woods?" Shouto asked.

"Dodging techniques?"

The boy nodded and Izuku shrugged before agreeing.

"I could do that."

Izuku took off sprinting, powering One for All though his legs. Shouto trailed behind him with a playful smile on his face. Izuku jumped and sailed through the air into the tree tops with Shouto looking for him. He didn't use his fire since he didn't want to burn the trees down but instead threw chunks of ice at the green haired boy.

Izuku was definitely a lot faster than he had thought but it made perfect sense how he beat them so easily. Soon, they were playing around aimlessly playing tag. Shouto held out his hand and iced Izuku's foot to the ground. He whipped around and stared at Shouto.

"That's cheating!"

"We never agreed to any rules though."

Izuku shut his mouth and turned pink.

"Let me free you."

Izuku waited patiently while Shouto melted the ice off of his foot.

"There."

"Thanks!" he said cheerfully.

Izuku leaned against the tree with one hand rotating his foot to get the cold out. He felt Shouto's hand on his against the tree. He looked up to meet the same kind of gaze Katsuki had given him the night before. Izuku was frozen in place as the other boy inched closer to his face.

The sensation of hot and cold hit his face from Shouto's breath. He pinned Izuku against the tree making his face turn bright red while Shouto had a light blush. He couldn't say anything about Todoroki getting away from him but he was completely speechless and entranced by those bright eyes. He blinked just for a second when Shouto's lips touched his.

Next thing Izuku knew, his back was against the tree as Shouto lifted him up. The green haired boy acted on instinct and wrapped his legs around his waist. Izuku had no idea how to kiss but Shouto was absolutely amazing at it. He pulled away from Midoriya for a moment to look into those green eyes. Izuku opened his mouth to protest their actions but it was cut off as that cold and hot tongue entered his mouth.

He let out audible moan making Shouto crush him against the tree, grabbing Izuku's ass softly enough without hurting him too much. His right hand tangled up in those messy, green curls making him shudder. Izuku felt himself melting away from Shouto's skilled tongue he had almost forgotten the boy had a boyfriend.

The thoughts of Katsuki seemed almost far away when Shouto broke their heated kissing. There was something in those gray and blue eyes. Was it lust or longing? He couldn't tell the difference and Izuku suddenly felt jealous.

Shouto didn't give him time to finish his thought process as he crashed their lips together again more hungry than the last. The hybrid boy let out a low sigh as he started kissing down the other boy's neck. Izuku shivered again, feeling how much Shouto was really enjoying himself. They were both hard and ready to lose it.

"S-Shouto-

"I don't want to let you go," he whispered.

"But-

Katsuki! Oh shit! Oh no-

His eyes flew open and he pushed away from Shouto. Izuku's bottom hit a tree root and it as definitely going to leave a bruise. He got up rubbing his ass from his fall. Izuku could not believe he let this happen. He let it happen. He betrayed Katsuki's trust if there had been any at all.

"Izuku-

"No! You- you have a boyfriend!"

His big puppy dog eyes watered up and he sped out of the woods leaving Shouto all alone as the green blur disappeared from his view.
