Okay, I'm sorry it's been like 2 months!

Love you all lots and hope you enjoy the update!
On a side note, I really want to change some of this but I have so much written that it would be hard to do it well. *le sigh*
As always, let me know what you think! I love reading what you have to say!


Chapter 17

Just Keepin' It Real

"As much as I would love grandkids, you three are too young to be pulling a stunt like this just yet. Get your horny asses down these motherfucking stairs so we can play some games."

With that she turned back around and left, leaving the door wide open.

"Open door policy from now on, Katsuki!" The blond groaned and flopped down on the bed; my eyes immediately shot to the tent in his pants.

"Oi, my eyes are up here, Ren." I made a god-awful noise and fell out of Shinsou's lap, finally noticing his hard on.

Before either of them could say another word, I darted into the hallway bathroom and locked the door.

Oh crap. I think I didn't think this through. Like, how does this even work. Well, scratch that, I know HOW this works. But I have TWO FLIPPING SOULMATES. Okay, calm down. Just because you're horny doesn't mean you're bad or whatever shit your old man tried to brainwash you into believing. It's a normal bodily function; and HOLY HELL have you seen those two?

Splashing water on my face, I made myself calm down, taking inventory of how my body felt so that I would know what to expect next time. A quiet knock on the door made me jump. So, of course, I yanked it open without thinking.

Shinsou leaned against the doorframe and Bakugo stood behind him, both having their arms crossed. The wild look in my eyes had them slowly taking in my appearance, giving me time to breathe before they spoke.

"Okay, before either of you say anything, shut up. I'm not freaking out, nothing happened too fast. It's just… I've obviously never done anything like this before and I sure as heck haven't ever had emotions this strong. I just needed a moment to decompress and to think about my… reactions to you both." I started fiddling with my hair, not sure how they were going to respond.

Shinsou nodded, giving me a small smile. "As long as you talk to us about it, we can work with what you need. Remember, communication is important for all of us."

I nodded and returned his smile. Bakugo's face told a completely different story.

"Wait. Are you fucking saying that I was your first kiss?" When I nodded, he cackled like a banshee.

"Fucking perfect! Are you also saying you haven't been turned on before, like ever?" My face flushed crimson but I nodded again, knowing this conversation was bound to happen.

"And before either of you ask, no, I haven't had a boyfriend before." They shared a shocked look before turning absolutely smug, not even trying to hide how happy that made them.

"Good. We don't need any fucking extras messing shit up." Bakugo leaned over Shinsou's shoulder and gave me a quick peck on the lips. Shinsou quickly joined in and claimed my cheek.

They pulled away and we made our way down the stairs, stopping to stare at the cards on the table.

"Um, I don't think I've ever played this game," I mumbled. Masaru turned around and then started explaining it, saying the game was called Exploding Kittens and I snickered at the name, earning an elbow from the blond on my right.

We ended up making it back to campus with barely ten minutes to spare before curfew. A large group of people were in the lobby and as soon as we walked in, Midoriya walked up to us with a sheepish look on his face.

"Kacchan, Ren told me that I should give you space but I wanted to tell you happy birthday." Shinsou and I tensed, looking between the two.

"Thanks, nerd. Now get out of our fucking way. We're tired as shit." With that, he brushed past the smaller boy.

Midoriya had the biggest grin on his face, obviously noticing the positive changes in Bakugo's attitude. Mina rushed up beside me and grabbed my arm, whispering in my ear.

"We need some girl time! ASAP! Let's have lunch, just you and me tomorrow." I nodded at her and then yelped as I was yanked into the elevator.

"It's a date, Mina!"

Beaming at me, she waved and hopped from foot-to-foot until the door closed.

"Why the hell does alien freak get a date before we do?" Bakugo asked, situating me between him and Shinsou.

"Yeah, that's not fair, Ren. I thought you were saving all your firsts for us." I blushed furiously and covered my face with my hands. Shinsou's suggestive whisper was doing weird things to my stomach.

"Why do you do this to me?" They both laughed as we exited the elevator, heading towards my room seeing as we cleaned up earlier in the day.

I changed into a set of shorts and threw on a soft oversized t-shirt and then waited for the guys to give me the all clear. A knock on the bathroom door told me it was safe to come out and I did, not expecting to nearly walk into a bare chest.

"Hey, if I can't have my tiddies out, then you can't have yours out!"

"Are you saying you want to free the tatas, short stack? Not that I would object but, wouldn't that be taking things a bit fast?"

Shinsou tilted my chin up as he spoke, smirking down at my once again red face. He gently pulled the hem of my shirt up, fingers skimming my belly before I smacked his hand away. Planting my hands on his chest, I pushed him a safe distance away, fingers lingering just a second too long.

"Just because we made out doesn't mean you get to put the moves on me." With that, I motioned at the ladder Bakugo was leaning on.

He rolled his eyes and climbed up, giving me a perfect view of his bare back and butt. His low-cut sweats did nothing to hide his assets. Giving Shinsou a pointed look, I ogled him as he made his way up to the bed.

"Oi, are you done looking at our asses?" I nodded without thinking and they both smirked, having caught me red handed.

I was barely halfway up the ladder before Bakugo lifted me the rest of the way up, settling me between them.

"As much as we would enjoy a repeat of earlier today, I think it would be wise to keep our hands to ourselves on school nights." Shinsou's quiet words had Bakugo propping on an elbow to get a better look at him.

"As much as I fucking hate that idea, it's best for us to not get too distracted. We need to be able to focus on our studies. If we're going to start anything, then it needs to be well before light outs and on nights like this, we restrain ourselves."

They nodded at each other and then looked down at me, trying to gauge my reaction. "Um, I mean, it sounds like you've already made a decision..."

"Fuck, we didn't mean to leave you out of it, Ren." Placing a hand over his mouth, I stopped him before he could say more.

"I think that's a great idea. Let's get some sleep." Feeling brave, I slid my hand to the back of his neck and pulled him into a kiss. Before it could get too heated, I pushed him away and gave him a cheeky grin.

Then, I turned to Shinsou and he leaned down, slotting his lips over mine. I hummed into the kiss and then broke it off, cuddling into Bakugo's bare chest with a tinge of embarrassment.

A dull pain in my ribs had me coming out of my sleep induced state far too quickly for my liking. Gingerly sitting up, I checked the clock we had recently put up to see that it was four in the morning. Somehow, an arm had ended up under me and was the reason for my aching side.

I carefully snuck out of bed and grabbed some workout clothes, knowing I wouldn't be going back to sleep anytime soon. I grabbed a dry erase marker and wrote on the mirror, letting them know that I was going to work out. With a little hesitation and then a flourish, I left a heart at the bottom of the writing.

Exiting the room, I was instantly halted by the sight of Mina quietly closing her door. We locked eyes and I lifted a brow, noticing her clothing was similar to mine. We entered the elevator together and I eyed her, just waiting for her to start gushing.

"Okay! Stop giving me that look! So, Kirishima and I are kind of a thing. It's nothing official and we're keeping it on the down low until we figure things out. He asked me to train with him this morning and I said yes. So now you're all caught up!"

"Really? That's it?" I questioned, knowing she would spill any juicy details with the smallest of prodding. She fidgeted with her top until the elevator opened and then led me to the kitchen. We silently made a few smoothies with protein powder but I could tell she was cracking.

"Okay, so, that night you told me to get some sleep. Well, we stayed up all night playing video games and then for like the last thirty minutes we made out!"

She squealed the last part, grabbing my arms and shaking me until I had to literally pry her off of me.

"That's super exciting, Mina! Was he a good kisser?" She nodded vigorously and went into detail, telling me things I definitely didn't need to know.

"Alright, alright. PLEASE stop. I didn't know there were that many adjectives to describe a tongue!" She giggled and bumped my shoulder with hers, sighing dreamily.

"I wasn't planning on getting into a relationship but Kiri just popped up out of nowhere and had to get all hot and stuff." I snorted at her description and shushed her quickly when a shock of red hair rounded the corner.

"Hey, Mina! Hey, Ren! What are you two ladies up to?"

I held up my shake and he nodded, pulling out ingredients to make his own. Sipping the drink slowly, I watched Mina ogle Kirishima. It was absolutely adorable how smitten she was with him. It was clear by the faint blush on his cheeks that he wasn't oblivious to the attention.

"So, does this mean we're not meeting for lunch?" I asked innocently. I ducked in time to dodge a flailing arm, being careful not to drop my now empty cup.

"OF COURSE, WE'RE STILL DOING LUNCH. We have more to talk about and you owe me deets!" I snorted and nodded before leaving them to begin my workout routine.

Walking outside, I stretched my stiff muscles and then headed towards gym Gamma at a light jog. By the time I got there, my heart rate was up and my muscles were nice and warm. Waving at a few of the upperclassmen that frequented the gym this early, I started a routine to work out my back muscles.

Music blasted in my ears as I started with basic pull-ups, only reaching seven before I had to give my hands a break.

Whoot! Seven! I'll try to do two more reps before I move on to the lat pulldowns.

I completed my reps of pull-ups - barely- and the lat pulldowns before someone tapped me on the shoulder. Quickly pulling an earbud out and turning, I came face-to-face with Shinsou and Bakugo. They both leisurely perused my sweaty body and I flushed, shooting them a warm smile.

"Here to join me?"

"Yeah. Pretty sure we woke up not too long after you left." Shinsou mumbled, taking my spot on the lat machine and giving me a great view as his muscles flexed.

Bakugo quickly jumped on the pull-up bar, putting me to shame with his easy set of fifteen. Rolling my eyes at the smirk they both sent my way when I was caught staring, I took over the butterfly machine and did slow reps of ten. The guys caught up with me and we started rotating machinery before going upstairs to the track to get some cardio in.

Cardio was a must for all of us and I never let the guys skip it, even if I hated it more than soggy bread. We ran two miles before stopping, a great feat seeing as none of us could complete a mile at the beginning of our training together.

I smacked both of them and immediately regretted it, having to wipe their sweat on my shirt. None of us had brought a gym bag so we headed back to the dorms, sweat cooling on our bodies when we walked outside.

"Well, that was a pretty good session. I've missed our early morning workouts." I stretched my back as I spoke, not missing how the breeze tickled my bare stomach when I did.

"How were we supposed to know that your fucking period was going to basically put you on bedrest?" Bakugo stated, making me and Shinsou turn bright red.

He noticed our discomfort and snorted. "Look, it's not a big deal. It's part of your body's natural cycle, just like us guys normally get boners in the morning. Don't you dare be embarrassed that you can literally do what we do while bleeding."

With that, he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into his side, planting a kiss in my sweaty hair.

"In a disgusting way, I guess that's your way of saying I'm a badass…" I wasn't sure if I was making a statement or asking a question.

Bakugo snorted and rolled his eyes.

"Of course you're a badass. You didn't think I would date a loser, did you?"
