Hello everyone. I know it's almost been a year since I updated this and I am so very sorry. My pregnancy took a few bad turns and it was very overwhelming. In the end, my son came out fine. He's just a little different but overall he will be fine and he's almost 6 months now!
I was very depressed and I quit writing and even talking to my friends. I feel horrible about it. I hope with posting this, raimundo gardell my friend and co writer can forgive me as I post this as an apology.
I'm very sorry for the long wait everyone!
"Todoroki, you need to wake up."
Aizawa sighed on the computer screen, rubbing his temples. Shouto had nodded off five time in the last three hours. Surprisingly enough, everyone else stayed awake and without faking a weak wifi connection.
"ICYHOT WAKE THE FUCK UP!"
"LANGUAGE BAKUGOU!"
Izuku sighed and got off the couch. He walked into his room to see Shouto sitting up, rubbing his eyes.
"Are you ok?" Izuku asked looking at Shouto.
"Yea... Stayed up late studying."
"Midoriya! Back to your computer!"
Shouto groaned as he rubbed his forehead. Izuku sat down on the couch and placed his laptop on his lap.
"Sorry Aizawa sensei."
"Whatever. As I was saying."
This online school shit was not working for anyone. Not even Izuku who sighed internally as Aizawa sensei rattled off information he was barely paying attention too.
Once 3PM hit, Izuku shut his laptop and headed into his room to see Shouto surrounded by homework. Aizawa made it a point to send everyone a box of work books. Izuku sat down at the edge of his bed, watching as his boyfriend scribbled stuff on paper.
"My sister has been calling me really late. She can't do it with Dad around. Mom had called me a few times and she has problems sleeping sometimes too. I explained why I couldn't see her right now and she sounded a little sad."
"It's my fault."
The dual user gave him a soft smile.
"That asshole would've came to the school and destroyed it whether you were there or not. No reason to feel that way."
"Yea I guess you're right."
"Want to do our homework together? I need some help with the history paper."
"Let me get my computer and we can do it."

It was later that night. Izuku moved around in his bed, staring at the wall. Shouto wasn't holding him anymore. He rolled around slowly to see his boyfriend staring up at the ceiling. He looked tired as hell but he he was wide awake. Izuku reached over, stroked his face and gave him an understanding smile.
"You ok?"
"I don't know anymore."
"You want to talk about it."
He turned his head to look into those green eyes.
"I don't know how to say it. I don't know anything other than the fact everything is falling apart."
"I'm sorry for that..." Izuku said.
"Oh, not that part. Just with my Mom and Dad. I wanted to make things ok for Mom. I wanted to get her out and maybe help out Fuyumi. She works really hard and deserves a lot better than she got. Even if I leave the world behind, she's going to need more than that."
Izuku reached for his hand and gave it a little squeeze.
"I can fix it... we can fix it. We can talk about it with Katsuki when we have our sleep over."
"Alright."
The freckled boy held out his arms wide to Shouto and he snuggled right in.
"Things will be ok. I... I love you."
Shouto smiled as he buried his face into his chest.
"I love you too."

"Um... Dad?"
Toshi opened the bathroom door.
"You ok?"
"I need a favor. Can you do it without letting anyone know?" Izuku asked.
"Probably. Are you and Shouto ok? Are you two fighting?"
"No, nothing like that. Can you... Can you set up a will or something for me? In the event of my passing and Shouto's can you make Mrs. Todoroki the beneficiary for Dad's money?"
All Might stared at him.
"What?"
The boy's face bright red.
"If there was a fight that involved students it would involve pros right? So... It was something that Shouto's been losing a lot of sleep over and I wanted to make sure things will be ok."
Oh shit. How do I answer him? the older man thought.
"I'll um... see what I can do. They don't really have you do that kind of stuff until you're offically signed on at an agency but it wouldn't be too hard to do."
Izuku smiled big, "Thank you!"
"Can you two clean up some and I'll grab Katsuki and some dinner before we come home tonight. How's that sound?"
"Sounds good!"
Toshi ruffled his green curls up with a smile on his face.
"Be good and don't leave."
Izuku nodded and walked off for the living room.

Katsuki waited out on the front porch with his book bag full of stuff he needed. It was unforunate his mom was only ok for one night but he would take what he could. He was tired of being in the house all the time with his mother. It was like he was a prisoner of some sort. He had a whole new respect for Izuku now. He wondered how he could do it his whole life.
I hadn't told her the whole truth but the moment I mentioned his last name she's been acting weird. I wonder what she told him that night with the dinner she forced us to have. I heard her in the kutchen muttering but I didn't hear exactly what she said. I wonder if she knew his mom or something.
Katsuki ran his hand through his spikey hair once again. Everything was falling apart. The moments they had together were just fleeting. It could be days or maybe even just a few weeks before that psycho and his fire wielding asshole friend were back for revenge. The night the school was busted up, the power his green haired boyfriend wielded gave him the chills.
It was just how could someone have that much power unless it was an aderaline rush? He was cute as a button but it hid the horror he had faced throughout his life.
Despite all that... he was happy. He smiled even when things were hard.
I wish I was that strong.
He was broke out of his thoughts when he heard the sound of a car engine getting closer. He watched as the car got closer and he could see that messy blonde hair that belonged to his favorite hero.
"Young Bakugou! Are you ready?!" the pro hero called from his car.
He nodded as he stood up.
"Mom! I'm leaving!"
"Be good and stay out of trouble!"
Katsuki threw his bag in the back seat and got into shotgun.
"I have to pick up stuff for dinner. Is that ok with you?"
"Yea."
All Might drove off from the Bakugou's house and to the store.
"What are you making?" Katsuki asked, breaking the strange silence.
"Fried rice with eggs I think. Izuku doesn't seem to mind the simple dish, he asks for it twice a week."
The teenage boy blinked.
"That's it?"
The pro hero blushed a little, "Well, I can cook some really simple stuff really good. I used to just fry eggs all the time. Or boil them. Good protein. Then some veggies... Stuff like that."
"Uh huh. Can that just be the side dish? I can make home made egg rolls."
"You're a young boy. Let me be the parent."
Katsuki stared at him.
"You need a woman."
All Might snickered as he turned down the road for the small market.
"Naw. If you're that insisting for it, then I'll let you cook with me. I know the boys are excited for you to be there. Izuku asked me to buy extra controllers just in case you got mad and blew one up? They don't play that much but he really wanted a few new ones."
"Gee thanks."
All Might grinned.
It didn't take too long for them to grab everything for dinner. They were in and out in fifteen minutes. The pro hero was rather impressed at how careful the boy was at picking out ingetrients for dinner. His mother must've taught him because Izuku was rather clueless and Shouto only really liked cold soba. He made it almost everyday he had stayed with them.
Once they made it the hero's place, they unloaded the car and headed inside. Izuku was sitting on the couch fast asleep and Shouto was reading a giant book on medicial history. He waved to them both as they walked in. Izuku looked to be out of it with the blanket that was drapped over his slepping form.
"We're making dinner."
Shouto's eyes lit up.
"You are? It's been awhile since you cooked for us!"
"Stay still. We got this."
"Let me take your book bag to the room while you get started."
Katsuki tossed it to him after he got up. Shouto disappeared quickly. The blonde boy watched as Izuku slept like he didn't have a care in the world. He hadn't slept right since he got back home. All he did was toss and turn- only wondering when. Every night he would swear it would be then but 'then' never came.
"Are you ok?" Shouto asked softly.
"Yea. Enjoy your book, nerd."
When dinner was almost done, Shouto shook their sleepy boyfriend awake. Izuku rubbed his eyes and yawned loudly looking around.
"What's wrong?" he asked blinking.
"Dinner time."
"I slept that long?"
"Only three hours."
Katsuki popped his head in, "Wash your filthy hands and come eat. I don't have all night. Mom wants me back when All Might goes to work."
"Awww, she didn't let you stay longer?" Izuku whined as he stretched.
"We can try every other week until we go back to UA. I don't want to push it. She's mean when she's mad. I've cleaned the basment six times since we've been out."
Shouto snorted like he knew why and headed for the bathroom too.
Katsuki served everyone their plates before sitting down his own. They dug in and stayed silent for a little while. It felt a little weird for the three of them. They just couldn't say anything in front of their teacher, favorite hero and boyfriend's dad. It was a wonder if this dinner would happen again or this may the last one.
Katsuki couldn't help it but fell negative. He should've been happy to be there.
"Was it that guy? The one that killed those people at the mall?"
All Might stared straight ahead at Katsuki.
"Um... well considering the evidence and we already know what those two are like... We think yes. Did you see them again?"
"No."
Izuku stared at him.
"It's going to be ok. I'm here," the pro hero said with a smile.
Shouto glanced at him.
"We're here too."
Katsuki didn't say anything.
"Well, boys... I'll do dishes. You can play your game on the big TV. I plan on going to bed early anyways. Don't get the cops called on us."
Shouto got up first, practically skipping to Izuku's room. The green haired teenager followed him, leaving Katsuki to drag his feet last to the room to help them move the game system.
"Call of Duty or Halo first?" Shouto asked, crouching in front of the games.
"Call of Duty while it's still daylight and I can scream."
Izuku snorted. He leaned over and kissed the angry blonde making him turn bright pink.
"Can you stop that shit! Your dad is here."
"Are you embarrassed?" Shouto asked, "You kissed me in front of your mom all the time."
"Yea but my Mom didn't threatened me with death."
The dual user snorted as he grabbed the new controllers.
"I'm ready to kick ass. Let's do this!" Katsuki shouted.
Only thirty minutes in, Katsuki was screaming and cussing up a storm. A few times All Might had poked his head in the living room to make sure they were ok. Just as they finished another round and lost to some assholes who liked to hide and snipe, the controller exploded in Katsuki's hands. Izuku pulled a plain black one out of the box and tossed it to Katsuki. Shouto didn't even flinch when the pieces went flying.
"Maybe we should play some Halo?"
He grinded his teeth and shook his head.
The next few games, they creamed their opponets putting the blonde into a better mood. After several bags of popcorn, they began Halo. It wasn't as intense until some asshole continued getting them with the energy sword whenever they had their backs turned. After five or so hours, they gave up and settled on a scary movie.
They sandwiched themselves under the comforter and played the movie. For a while, none of three of them spoke. As funny as it was, Shouto was the one who clung and jumped the most. It was rather hilarious with how stoic he was.
"I think this was the wrong movie to watch," Katsuki whispered, "If he screams All Might would come running out."
Izuku snickered and Shouto gave Katsuki a pinch on the arm.
"Shut up!" he hissed.
After the movie finished, Shouto didn't want to move off the couch and Katsuki had to pry him from the couch. Izuku laughed as they made it into his room. They shut the door softly, the three of them jumped into bed together and snuggled in. The three of them laid there silent for a little while before Katsuki cleared his throat.
"Um... are you guys worried?"
Izuku turned in bed a little, "About what?"
"This whole thing. Aren't you scared? Even a little bit?"
"I am but I am worried about other stuff. Like my Mom and sister," Shouto answered.
"I don't know how I feel. I guess I haven't tried to think of it too much? It just seems like another part of my life. The grand finale."
The blonde hummed.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It could be or mean anything. I don't know what else to say about it. I just know when the time comes, I'll be there. With One for All I should be able to make a difference in what happens."
Izuku slipped his hand near Katsuki's and gave it a squeeze.
"You have to know, no matter what happens... I'll be there," Shouto said, "Once we over come this, every villain after should be just as easy."
Katsuki let out a laugh.
"You know what I think?" Izuku asked.
"What?"
"We have to be heroes?" Katsuki said.
"No! Let's take a week long vacation to the beach or something."
"I like that idea," Shouto answered.
"I guess. We're broke though."
Shouto and Izuku raised their eyebrows at him.
"Alright, alright! We can go but you two have to pay for the poor kid."
"You're not poor. Your mom is great," Shouto said flicking his forehead, "Your dad works hard too."
"I know."
"I can't wait for school," Izuku said.
Katsuki smiled at the ceiling, "Me either."
"It's the best home and generally everyone is pretty nice. It's shame we only have a few months left."
Izuku sighed, "Yea."
"We are going to do a vacation then find an agency and then find a place to live."
"You... you want to live with the three of us?" Izuku asked in shock.
"Of course nerd. I want to have our place. Where we can be ourselves and Mom isn't yelling at me."
The three of them laughed.
They talked for a while, like they had back in UA. It was nice to feel that normal again... or what normal they could feel for them. It was shame it was just one night and it was a little sad. They really missed each other.
It didn't last long. They became a tangle of limbs and soft breathing and slept well until morning.
