A/N: There are some Japanese terms that I used, you'll find their definitions at the end.

Over a cup of tea

Finally, exams were over and Izuku can take a break. His body ached and his mind was throbbing in pain, most likely a migraine from the continuous headaches he' been having all week. He missed interacting with his friends the entire week, but mostly he missed Shouto, the only time he ever saw him was during the exams, otherwise they hadn't spent much time together the past week.

So, when he got a text from Shouto telling him that he's prepared some herbal tea in his room, Izuku all but ran upstairs, almost bumping Bakugo in the process and earning a yell from him. He was unfortunate when he slammed into the invisible girl and in turn spilling her drink over the person standing next to her, who happened to be Uraraka. "Don't mind" she brushed him off, "WOAH Deku you look like you haven't slept in days"

"Well I gotta go and rest" he yells as he makes a quick dash towards the fifth floor, luckily, he made it without bumping into anyone else. His eyes burning in exhaustion and was unsure if he could give Shouto his undivided attention.

The aroma of green leaves and herbs fills his nostrils and make him relax. If the corridor smelled this nice then he wonders how relaxing the room would smell, adding the Japanese style of the room he wonders of he will just fall asleep then and there. "I missed you" he beams as he closes the door behind him and hugs Shouto, taking in that strawberry scented shampoo that he uses.

"That makes two of us" Shouto chuckles as he leads Izuku towards his chabudai1, kissing his hands with a soft smile, "I made us some tea to relax and please let's not speak about school"

Izuku smiles and presses his lips against Shouto's, sighing in content and satisfaction, "Yes please".

Sitting on the tatami covered floor, Shouto pours some chamomile tea in an all might mug and hands it over to Izuku while he pours some for himself in a blue yunomi2 before setting his teapot aside. Taking a whiff of the tea, Izuku blows over his mug before taking a sip and letting out a hum in delight, a soft smile dancing across his face, "this tea is why I love you".

Shouto says nothing but returns a smile back, they say nothing as they drink their tea in a calming silence and bask in each other's presence. Shouto fills their cups with tea each time they finish until the entire pot is empty, too tired to focus on anything they find themselves tangled in each other's arms as they slept in the middle of the room, too tired to do anything or hear the yells and laughter of their classmates.
