"Uncle Shouta."
Aizawa looked up from his desk.
"Shouldn't you be out there slave driving two brats?"
Izuku grinned and sat down, "I will shortly. You remember you said you would get me some advice if I needed it...?"
The man put down his pen.
I knew this was coming... I'm not surprised after seeing the way they interact with each other.
"You are thinking about dating them?"
Izuku nodded quickly. Aizawa closed his eyes and nodded.
"Alright then. Let me call them."
It didn't take that long for Midnight to show up with the hero Vlad King and the sidekick Bubble Girl. Izuku looked confused for a moment then he realized what was going on. The three people together was them. His mouth opened but no sound came out. How did they work? Their personalities were so drastically different from each other...
"This is the people I had mentioned. I'll let the boys know you're busy at the moment."
Aizawa left the classroom.
"What did you want to know?" Midnight asked cheerfully, "I heard its you, Todoroki and Bakugou! The next Big Three together!"
He blushed an unhealthy red color and nodded.
"I was wondering how it worked?" Izuku asked, "They've been together for three years... I almost feel like I'm invading."
Midnight smiled.
"It was like that for us too," Bubble Girl said, "Vlad and I were dating for a whole year before we had a drunk night with Midnight... Not really proud that it was at a bar but it started off with her being nice. We talked, laughed, then the three of us started dancing... It never felt weird at all. I wasn't jealous."
Izuku looked at Vlad King.
"Were any of you hesitant?" he asked.
"I was," Vlad King admitted, "I was worried that maybe Kaoruko would think I like Nemuri a lot more. It wasn't like that though. The three of us made things work. Trust me it wasn't easy in some parts but we got along flawlessly."
"It's all about chemistry. The way the three of you are together. It feels natural. Then you start missing being around them both," Midnight said softly.
Normally she was always so intense but a affectionate look over came her face.
"Oh."
"How do you feel when you're with them?" Vlad King asked.
A gentle smile spread across his face.
"That's it! Right there!" Bubble Girl yelled pointing at him, "That smile is everything! You don't have to say anything more!"
Midnight patted him on the back, "You have nothing to be afraid of."
A concerned look overcame his freckled, chubby face.
"Did you guys ever have to deal with mean backlash?"
Their faces fell a little bit but they kept their smiles.
"We did from a lot of people we knew, but eventually they got over it. We had a few people stop talking to us altogether. I think Nemuri was the only one who kept all her friends since she's so eccentric so no one was really surprised," he said.
"What happens if you guy decide to get married or have kids?"
"Well, I can't have any," Midnight answered, "So we were thinking Kaoruko could have the babies. We would be very pro active in their lives like regular parents. We were planning on starting in another year."
"We're excited!" Bubble Girl said clapping.
"Marriage is just a piece of paper anyways," Vlad said with smile.
"All Might said he would be ok with it."
"See! That's one of the biggest people in your life and Aizawa seems ok with it! Hizashi would be fine with it too! We will always be here if you ever need us," Midnight said proudly.
Izuku nodded and ran out of the classroom.
He made his way to the training field where the rocks, grass and trees were when he saw Katsuki and Shouto sitting close together looking at something on the phone. He felt his heart pound a little faster. His stomach twisted just a little bit and it made his heart ache. Midnight's words filled his head.
"It's all about chemistry. The way the three of you are together. It feels natural. Then you start missing being around them both."
Oh.
He smiled looking at them before he ran across the field to join them.

"You're an idiot," Shinsou said, "I don't mind Todoroki but Bakugou is a jerk. You sure you wanna date someone like that?"
"I think the two of them are good for you!" Ochako said with a smile, "I think it's so cute! The three of you work together so well too! You three are really comfortable with each other. Bakugou hated almost everyone for a while. The fact he got over it and started talking to you speaks volumes."
Izuku picked at his fingernails.
"How would I find out whether they like me or not?"
Ochako sipped on her juice box, looking deep in thought.
"It's a shame they don't have diaries."
Izuku snorted.
"I wouldn't do that to betray their trust. I'm not like that."
"Why don't you just ask they separately about how they feel about you? Don't they have to do whatever you say anyways?"
"That's true..."
He jumped up.
"That's perfect! I'll tell you what happens!"
Izuku bolted out of Shinsou's bedroom and down to Shouto's room. He knocked onto the door a few times excitedly before he heard footsteps. The door opened up slowly revealing a shirtless Shouto. He arched an eyebrow at Izuku but he smiled too making Izuku's heart skip a beat.
"Is everything ok?"
"Y-yea! It's the last day of the punishment. I was wondering if you'd like to go with me?"
"Where are we going?"
"We can go on a walk or go into town for a milkshake?" he asked feeling hopeful.
"Alright. Give me a few minutes."
Izuku headed for the living room to wait and Shouto returned to his room. He grabbed his phone.
Shouto: Izuku wants to go into town for a milkshake.
Katsuki: ? That's weird. He never said anything to me yet.
Shouto: Maybe he needs one on one time.
Katsuki: For what?
Shouto: Maybe he's trying to take me from you.
Katsuki: That's hilarious and also not funny.
Shouto: Don't be jealous. You may be next.
Katsuki: I hope so.
Shouto: Talk to you later. Love you
Katsuki: Love you too
Shouto and Izuku sat down at a restaurant sipping their milkshakes. Shouto had gotten peanut butter and chocolate while Izuku had picked chocolate and cherry. They sat there in silence with Todoroki wondering why he was asked there. The freckled boy looked extremely uncomfortable and his face was a pink.
Had something happened?
"Are you ok? You haven't said a single thing since we left except for ordering your milkshake."
"I- I well... I don't know. I have something I want to ask you."
Shouto blinked.
"Oh. Is it a bad question?"
"M-maybe... No... I guess it depends..."
He fidgeted in his seat.
"I promise not to get mad."
"Oh... well..."
He looked down at the table.
"How do you feel about me?"
Shouto almost dropped his cup. He hadn't expected that question. Honestly he was surprised Izuku never asked it before then... He bit his lip staring into those gorgeous eyes wondering what he should say. How should he say it? Was this supposed to be a love confession or a way for Izuku to know he wasn't mad at him?
"You want me to be entirely truthful?"
He nodded quickly.
Shouto grabbed his chair and pulled it around so it face Midoriya. He took the other boy's hand and looked him in the eyes. Izuku looked nervous enough that he might just pass out.
"I had fallen madly in love with Katsuki after the sports festival but it seems I fell in love again. Maybe it was the fight or maybe it was the way you smiled. Maybe the way your eyes looked when you were excited or those freckles on your cheeks. It maybe the way you looked at me. You looked at me like I was me. You didn't see a hero's kid- you saw just me."
He got closer to Izuku enough for him to feel the heat coming off of his face. Shouto brushed back some of those green curls from his forehead.
"I don't see how anyone wouldn't have tried asking you out before. The moment I knew I was in love with you was when I saw the hurt on your face when you caught us... I saw the betrayal and felt like absolute shit. When I was sure for sure in love with you was the day in the tree tops."
The people around them were staring but neither boy noticed.
"I love you Izuku Midoriya."
Shouto's eyes looked slightly watery and the sight pulled at his heart.
"Really?" he asked softly.
"Yes."
He took in a deep breath and squeezed Shouto's hand back. The hybrid boy smiled back at him but he was stunned by Midoriya's next move. He grabbed Shouto's face with a little force and pressed his lips against his. He had no idea what just happened but he was more than eager to kiss him back.
Shouto ran his fingers through those green curls not wanting to let go. They both stayed like that for a minute before pulling away. Someone cleared their throat but they didn't hear it. Neither one wanted to let go so they stood up and held hands. They raced back to UA without stopping.
Izuku had to talk to Katsuki now.
Once they were back at school, Shouto reluctantly let go of Izuku's hand and watched as he walked to Katsuki's door. He let out a shaky sigh and hid in his room. He didn't want Katsuki to see the look on his face. Shouto hardly ever let on with his emotions but he didn't trust himself right now and the explosive blonde would know. He locked his bedroom door and paced around. He needed time to think alone.
Katsuki stood in his doorway eyeing Izuku. He shifted nervously but he had a smile on that sweet freckled face Katsuki had grown to love to see every morning when he walked through that classroom door. Izuku grabbed his hand and pulled him into the hallway. No one was around to see them at that moment which made it seem more strange for him. He had no idea what Izuku was planning.
"Deku, what are you doing?" he hissed.
Izuku slammed his door shut.
"Let's go Kacchan. We have to talk."
The two of them ran the whole way to the training field Izuku had seen the two of them in yesterday. They stopped, out of breath and all sweaty. Katsuki stared at him with a pounding heart and butterflies in his stomach. He felt like something was wrong. Something wasn't right or maybe something was right?
"How... how do you feel about me?" Deku asked.
"What?" Kacchan asked looking at him like he didn't hear him right.
"How do you feel about me? Shouto already told me how he felt about me. I need to know if you feel the same way!"
"I-
Katsuki looked away.
"I won't make fun of you. If... you don't feel the same way, I can walk away now."
"You... I..."
Izuku stood there waiting patiently.
"Why are you asking me now?" Katsuki finally asked, forming together a proper sentence.
"Because. This is the last day you'll be forced to be with me and I need to know now. You still have to give me that."
"I don't have to give you anything."
"I know that," Izuku said, stepping closer to him.
"What are you doing?" he snapped as Izuku grabbed his hand.
The skin was soft and warm. He looked down seeing the faint scars from the damage he had caused in their first battle together. It stung Katsuki's heart and soul to know he did that to him. How could he have hurt someone so innocent and sweet? Someone who dealt with so much pain but at the same time asked for no pity.
He wanted to protect him. Katsuki wanted to protect Deku from the harm of the world.
"What are you doing?" he demanded with his voice wavering.
"Finishing that night in your room."
Katsuki jumped as soon as the boy pulled him close and wrapped his arms around his waist. He had no time to think clearly as soon as Izuku's soft lips touched his own. He blinked a few times trying to understand what was going on but... it felt so right. Katsuki placed one hand on the back of Izuku's neck firmly, pressing their lips harder together.
In that little moment, Katsuki knew exactly how Izuku felt. The feelings he had been hiding away all this time was finally out in the open. Their very first kiss together even thought they had come close quite a few times. The two of them pulled after a couple minutes, breathlessly.
"I want to be with both of you."
"What, are you serious?" he asked.
"I do but I have to know you're ok with it too."
Katsuki looked away.
"Shouto confessed he was in love with me."
Those red eyes locked up with his with an unreadable expression.
"You don't have to be in love with me but if you want me as much as I want you, I can wait for it."
Katsuki closed his eyes for a second. He hadn't expected this. He grabbed Deku's hand.
"Let's go."

Shouto's bedroom flew open revealing Izuku and Katsuki. They both had smiles on their faces but Izuku's was a lot bigger. He ran to Shouto's bed and grabbed his hand, pulling him off his bed. Katsuki slammed the door and ran down the hall way to chase after them. The three of them entered Izuku's room and shut the door ignoring the weird looks they got from their classmates.
Shouto took a seat at the desk chair and Katsuki stood by the doorway. The three of them stayed silent like they were too afraid to speak. What would be right words to say? Katsuki had no idea what to say to his own boyfriend. Falling in love was harder for him where Shouto found it so easy and it didn't make him uncomfortable. Being vulnerable wasn't his thing.
"Are you in love with him?" Katsuki finally asked.
Shouto nodded quietly.
"You know I don't..."
Shouto smiled, "People fall in love at different paces. I don't expect you to feel the same way."
Izuku glanced at Katsuki.
"I don't know what I want at the moment," he admitted looking at his boyfriend and Izuku.
The two of them looked a little disappointed.
"But I know I don't want to be without either one of you."
Shouto rolled the chair across the room up to his boyfriend and took his hand.
"So, are the three of us together?" he asked.
He looked at Izuku who looked nervous but he had a smile on his face.
"Yea, I think so unless you two don't want too."
Shouto rolled his eyes and stood up. The couple looked at Izuku.
"You want to date us?" Katsuki asked.
"Yes! More than anything!"
He tackled both of them into a hug.

"They never came out?" Shouta asked looking at Izuku's bedroom door.
"I don't think they would be doing anything. Bakugou literally goes to bed at eight thirty."
"The light is off."
He neared the door and pressed an ear to it. He hadn't informed All Might of anything yet.
"I don't hear anything."
"You look like a crazy person," Shinsou said standing away from him.
Aizawa shot him a dirty look and opened the door slowly. He had no idea what he was expecting but he seriously didn't want to suspend any of them. His expression softened seeing the three boys were actually a asleep. It was Shouto on the end, Katsuki in the middle and Izuku against the wall. He had no idea how they managed to fit on the bed but they did.
I guess I had nothing to worry about... for now.
He locked the door knob and closed the door.
