...
The next morning after the attack on I-Island, Izuku woke up to a pleasant sight. A still slumbering Shouto with the red and white of his hair tousled together from sleep. It was kind of like themselves cuddled close together on the bed. The greenet was curled into his friend's left side and they were holding each other close. It was really nice.
So cute, Izuku thought as he quietly gazed at his crush.
He could get used to this, waking up next to Shouto. The first time had been at the sleepover that seemed like forever ago. They also got to cuddle the night before coming to I-Island but were rudely awakened by Aizawa. On brand but not appreciated. Though having Shouto sleepily lean on him after had been nice. Also, so so cute.
Shouto had become bolder when it came to sharing touches in public. Not in a shout-from-the-rooftops sort of way but more openly than when they first started getting to know each other. Well other than when Shouto had impulsively taken his hand after their first training session, but that was part of who he was. For so long his life was controlled by his father but this was something that he could control, not Endeavor. That it was his decision to do what he wanted and was comfortable with. And it was something that Izuku would support him in.
Besides, he didn't mind in the slightest. Izuku liked Shouto and enjoyed spending time and being close to him. Holding hands, hugging, cuddling, and generally being in each other's personal space. Izuku's certainly had room for two if it was with Shouto. His special friend.
The room was quiet except for the sounds of slumbering breathing. The fond huff Izuku let out easily blended with them, however, the ever so slight movement of his body was apparently enough to prod Shouto awake. Grey and blue eyes slowly blinked awake staring up at the ceiling to then lazily turn to connect with green.
"Mornin'," Shouto mumbled, still too sleepy to speak properly.
Izuku giggled quietly before whispering, "Good morning. Did you sleep okay?"
His friend hummed in reply as he shifted to his side and pulled the shorter boy close. Their foreheads were close to touching and their legs became tangled together. Shouto once again closed his eyes and began to snooze in their new position. Izuku thought about doing the same but decided to continue watching his friend instead.
Shouto's two-toned hair was cascading to the side in even more of a mingled mess. This close Izuku could see that much like his hair and his eyes, his eyebrows and eyelashes were different from one side to the other. His right a light grey rather than white fanned against pale skin. In contrast his left the same fiery red as his hair that blended into his scar.
It was an unfortunate mark from his past but did nothing to deter from his looks. The scar was a part of him and Izuku liked it all. Shouto was so amazing. So strong both in Quirk and personality. Blunt, stoic, and a bit naïve at times, but all in a very Shouto way. It was just him.
Noting the different sides of him so close, Izuku wondered where exactly the two sides met. Where hot and cold converged to make the whole that was his special friend. Was he split evenly down his body like how he wore his hair every day? Or was it uneven as the divide twisted and turned internally amongst his organs? Or even a combination of both or something else entirely. Though that could just be him overthinking things as he often does.
A way to find out would be to touch Shouto directly on his skin but the thought made Izuku blush in embarrassment. They were close, yes, but that was with their clothes on. The only time they were undressed around each other was when they changed for training. Once Izuku had figured out he had a crush on Shouto, he hadn't been able to even look in his direction getting flustered seeing him without a shirt. Hitoshi of course found his embarrassment hilarious much to his own frustration.
So that option was out. He already knew there was a temperature difference depending on the side from how many times he's held Shouto's hands. But those experiences didn't help him with his current spout of curiosity. What did it feel like right where hot and cold met? How could he feel that without feeling up his friend in a way that was way too embarrassing? Green eyes subconsciously found themselves drawn to Shouto's lips.
He didn't know why exactly but he was suddenly fascinated by them. They were slightly parted as Shouto laid there before him sleeping. Izuku wondered what they felt like. Were they cool on one side and warm on the other? A perfect split in temperature or the same across? It was hard to tell just by looking as there was no visible sign. Despite that he still searched for one while also wondering how they would feel. Were they as soft as they looked?
"Would you like to try?"
Green eyes shot up to grey and blue as Izuku gasped and stared at him in shock at the mumbled question. Shouto himself was entirely serious about the offer as it was one of the new touches he had been wanting to try. He had already tried some with tying his friend's tie for him or latching onto his clothes when his hands weren't free. Those among other things that he's carefully spread through their stolen moments with each other.
But Izuku didn't know that. All he saw was his friend looking at him through half lidded eyes of gray and blue. Was he still half asleep? Not entirely aware of what he was saying. Or was Shouto offering just so the Quirk obsessed boy could sate his curiosity? Pushing himself just so Izuku could learn more about his Quirk. Or was it something else entirely though he couldn't think of what that would be in this moment.
"Huh?" he muttered, thoroughly confused.
He watched as Shouto's eyes glanced down intently at Izuku's lips before purposefully turning back to green.
"Would you like to try?" Shouto offered again just as quietly as he leaned in.
Oh…oh, my.
Izuku was a blushing mess as they were now a breath apart, their foreheads now touching. It was the closest they had ever been face to face. He found himself flittering his focus from one eye to the other then down to his lips and back again. Was he actually considering his offer?
This would be a kiss. His first kiss. With his crush no less, but Shouto didn't know that Izuku liked him as more than a friend. To him the moments they shared were probably just friendly touches, but this…this would be different. Kissing wasn't something just friends did. Or at least not to Izuku. Kissing was more intimate and he found himself wanting to so much in this moment.
An unexpected but very tempting moment. All he had to do was lean forward and…
"Could you guys stop being disgustingly cute?" Hitoshi suddenly called out breaking the moment. They looked over to see a mess of purple as the other boy sat up rubbing the sleep from his eyes. That and the sight of them almost kissing. "At least wait for me to leave the room."
The brainwasher lumbered out of bed with an annoyed huff and made his way to the bathroom. The other two watched him leave before turning to each other as they heard the shower running. Izuku took note of how close they still were and blushed remembering what they had almost just done. He almost kissed Shouto who was showing no signs of embarrassment or discomfort. More like curiosity wondering what they would do next.
But Izuku couldn't do it. He couldn't take advantage of his friend like this. Kissing him wouldn't be out of only curiosity for him. He would want it to mean more than that but he didn't know what Shouto would think of it. And it was too embarrassing to even consider asking him. So instead, he gave the other boy a soft smile as he tucked a lock of hair behind his ear.
"Let's start getting ready too, Shouto."
There was a flicker of something in his heterochromatic eyes. Disappointment? He couldn't tell for sure as it was gone a second later as Shouto schooled his features again and nodded. They both got out of bed and went about their routines. At least what they could until the bathroom was free.
Shouto accepted the offer to go first once Hitoshi was finished. To be honest he was kind of mad at him for interrupting them. He needed a moment to collect himself so he wouldn't snap at the purple haired teen. A quick shower allowed him to wash away some of his anger but a little still lingered as he too finished in the bathroom.
Izuku perked up at the sight of him and gave a wave as he took his turn to shower and finished getting ready for the day. Leaving Shouto alone with Hitoshi with that flicker of anger that remained. Hitoshi who was used to reading people, even the stoic ones, took notice. He let out a sigh knowing why and could guess how lover boy was frustrated for being interrupted.
"Look, I'm sorry for earlier," Hitoshi said, breaking their awkward silence.
Grey and blue eyes flickered to him before going back to what he was doing in his bag as he said, "Sorry for what?"
"For interrupting you," the brainwasher replied, taking notice of the sudden stiffness of the other boy's shoulders that was forced down.
"There's nothing to apologize for," Shouto insisted though he still appeared tense.
"I'm still gonna," Hitoshi countered as he folded his arms. "You were about to get some action and I cockblocked you. I'm all for you two being together and all that, but seriously, no lovey dovey stuff when I'm in the room. We're friends and you two are fucking cute as shit together, but I really don't need to see anything beyond G-rated, okay? Next time get your own room."
Shouto stood there considering what he said. That he wasn't against it and just didn't want to see what they had almost done. Kissing if he remembered correctly from his research. Yeah, kissing. Shouto definitely wanted to try kissing Izuku. Wanted to be close to him in any way possible. But perhaps Hitoshi had a point and that particular action perhaps should be kept to themselves. He had become less self-conscious when it came to being close to Izuku when out in public but perhaps there were some things that would be better shared privately. It would be more…intimate. Special. Full of that same warm feeling just for them to experience and no one else.
"I see," Shouto responded after a moment as his posture loosened. "Thank you, Hitoshi. And I apologize to you as well. That won't happen again."
Hitoshi walked over to his friend and patted his shoulder as he said, "It's not a big deal, but thanks anyway. Besides, it's kind of nice seeing you two pining idiots making some progress."
"I'm working on it," the element wielder replied simply though his stoic delivery made the other snort.
"Got a grand plan or something?" Hitoshi joked with a smirk.
Grey and blue looked into purple that was filled with mirth. But there was also support and absolutely no judgement in his chosen someone who was special to him and so very warm.
"Something like that," Shouto said with a small smile of his own.
The purple haired teen nodded in approval before offering, "Well if you need any help, let me know. Like I said, you two are grossly cute together."
And the sooner the pining could stop the better. It was becoming more and more painful to watch as time passed.
"What are you guys talking about?" Izuku asked as he walked out of the bathroom while dabbing at his damp hair.
"Nothing you need to worry about, Green Bean," Hitoshi replied with a dismissive wave before going back to his own things. Izuku would find out sooner or later anyway. Again, preferably sooner.
Shouto's eyes were drawn to his warm friend who gave a shrug. He noticed how his green curly hair appeared to glisten in the morning light. He traced his gaze down to bright green eyes, freckled cheeks, and then landed on his tempting lips.
Not now. Not yet.
He forced himself to take in the casual clothing his friend chose for the day. A simple white t-shirt under a short sleeved green flannel and dark gray shorts. In fact, they had all gone casual in their own styles not wanting to be dressed as Heroes for the day. They've done enough Hero-ing on I-Island thank you very much.
Instead, the plan was to meet up with the others from UA as well as Melissa and hang out exploring the expo. Now that they were ready, the three boys left their shared room and joined Mei and the three Heroes who were already in the common area of their hotel suite. The pinkette was in her overalls as per usual while Present Mic, Hound Dog, and All Might were in their Hero costumes. With their group assembled, together they left to join the others for breakfast.
Tenya and Momo were able to coordinate with everyone and they decided on a restaurant that served both breakfast and lunch so that they had plenty of choices to choose from. Izuku himself went with the grilled salmon breakfast set with a side of natto. A more traditional Japanese meal, but I-Island housed people from all over the world and provided its citizens with a variety of cuisine.
It also gave Izuku a sense of home. It had only been a full day apart but he missed his mom and her cooking. Perhaps he wouldn't have so much if he could have enjoyed the I-Expo without a Villain attack, but noooo, not him. The universe just couldn't give him a break from being caught up with Villains for gods damn once. It was like he had been cursed the day he had gotten attacked by that Sludge Villain. Or maybe even before that.
Bakugou had been his bully since he was four and had escalated over the years to the point of telling him to kill himself. So essentially the Quirkless boy's own personal villain of sorts. Then Sludgy came along trying to force himself down his throat. Then All Might with his words acting as daggers stabbing into Izuku's Hero loving heart, acting as an enemy to his aspirations. Not now anymore but back then very much yes.
At least with Chizome his interactions had nothing to do with his Villain status. The Hero Killer even ironically gave him encouragement to keep fighting to become a Hero. Though they had their own fall out of a sort having to fight against each other in Hosu with Izuku ultimately taking away his freedom. He couldn't help feel guilty about that but also have a sense of relief that one less Villain was on the streets.
With the I-Island attack, more Villains had been caught thanks to the tip off they had gotten for the raid. It could have been a lot worse without that warning. Wolfram could have actually taken the entire island hostage and detained the Heroes with the emergency capturing devices. Helpless to stop them getting their grubby hands on the device David designed to help All Might regain and maintain his powerful strength.
It had been made with good intentions but it was dangerous. A device like that in the hands of a Villain? Disastrous. It was like his analysis. If it were to fall in the wrong hands the world as they knew it would be in trouble. A shiver shot down his spine just imaging someone like Shigaraki or even All For One getting their hands on such a thing. Nope, that would not be good at all.
Now those two were Villains that they needed to work towards taking into custody. Though Izuku still found himself wondering how Shigaraki ended up getting involved with All For One. Were they related or did one find the other? Did they join forces sharing similar goals or was one groomed to follow in the other's footsteps? Was the decayer born with the drive to be a Villain or was he raised to become one?
They just didn't know.
There were too many unknowns for Izuku to form a clear opinion of Shigaraki. Yes, he was a Villain, but why? What drove him? What were his motivations past what he had said at the mall? Why exactly did he hate All Might so much? Izuku really wanted to try and dig up the handy man's past. There had to be more to the story than just a man child covered in hands wanting to kill All Might out of spite.
Perhaps that could be something he could bring up with Nezu next time he saw his mentor. He knew the principal was busy with his various take down projects, but he was sure the chimera would be intrigued. A new puzzle to try and solve so they could see a more complete picture than from the few pieces they had now. There was just so much more they had to learn to better understand the situation. Because Izuku preferred to believe that no one was born to be a Villain.
Well, maybe All For One.
Izuku based this thought on all he had heard and read about the boogey man of the underworld. He just sounded like evil incarnate. Manipulating others to control them. Forcing a Quirk on his own brother to do the same only for that plan to backfire. Surviving through all these years and fighting the wielders of One For All trying to beat them into submission. Trying again and again to get what he wanted without a single care for others.
It made him wonder how Shigaraki was treated by the man he called Sensei because he had a hard time imagining the one considered the Number One Villain as a doting father. It just didn't seem possible for a man like that. His mind even conjured up a ridiculous imagine of All For One, dripping with evil, fondly cooing over a baby. Which unfortunately looked like himself thanks to Shigaraki having told him All For One's interest in him. Izuku forced that thought out of his mind and focused on his food while being internally thankful his dad was nothing like that monster.
While they ate their respective dishes, All Might stepped away to take a phone call. Izuku watched him go in curiosity while he talked at a discreet distance. The man was buffed up as he usually was while out in public and of course was smiling. However, whatever the phone call was about must be a hard subject as that smile became more strained as the call continued. Izuku's brows furrowed in concern while he finished up his food as the others sociably ate and talked.
After a time, All Might came back and said, "Present Mic, Hound Dog, would you come with me for a moment?"
The two Heroes shared a look before standing up from the table. The teens watched them step a short distance away and the Number One Hero talked to them quietly. Again, it was clear that whatever was going on couldn't be good news. All Might spoke with that same strained smile as Present Mic paled and Hound Dog's mane bristled. The three men shot quick glances at the table too quick for them to be sure who they were looking at. Though Izuku had a paranoid thought that it might have been him but he quickly brushed it off.
The adults talked for a few minutes before they all nodded coming to some form of agreement. They then approached the table with schooled features as the waiting teens watched. All Might was the one to address them as the other two Heroes flanked him.
"May I have everyone's attention?" he asked though he already had it. "There has been a change of plans as there was a…development back in Japan. Therefore, we and those who came with us must leave early."
The teens shared concerned looks wondering what was going on, but the Heroes wouldn't say. Those that would remain lamented that they wouldn't get to spend time exploring the expo together. Which would have been nice but at least the group that was leaving had been shown around by Melissa before all the craziness. The older blonde girl promised to keep in touch and would for sure work with Mei to discuss her babies. It was nice to see his eccentric pink haired friend make a new one who also had a passion for Support.
Izuku and his friends went back to their hotel suite with the Heroes and quickly packed before leaving for their awaiting jet. There was a bit of tension in the air as they took off bound for Japan. The teens didn't know what this 'development' was and the Heroes didn't offer any further explanation. In fact, they left the students to themselves to discuss whatever was going on in the private compartment in the back.
Mei was distracting herself tinkering while Hitoshi and Shouto were taking naps. Izuku was busy searching the news for what this 'developlment' could be. There were some short stories here and there of a few low-ranking Heroes being called in for remedial training for minor mistakes made on the job. Nothing too serious other than mentions of minor property damage or civilians being injured due to collateral damage. But all that could be righted easily with insurance payouts and public apologies.
There was also an article that mentioned the investigation into a local foster center as well as a number of foster families associated with it. They were facing possible charges ranging from Quirk discrimination to child endangerment and/or abuse. There was a single allusion to the finding of a 'vocal restraining device' that made Izuku think back to the night Hitoshi had finally told him about his foster situation. The word muzzle came to mind as he wondered if the news story could be related to his friend in any way.
Perhaps Izuku could ask Aizawa once they got back. Surely, he or Nezu would know and wouldn't be at all surprised if they were the ones that instigated it. The principal seemed to have had made progress on his list of take downs as there was a scandalous article about his middle school. Aldera and its teachers, staff, and students were under investigation of similar charges to the foster center. Quirk discrimination, child neglect, child abuse, child endangerment, and the list went on and on.
Accusations of teachers neglecting their duties and insinuations of rampant bullying that had been turned a blind eye to for years. Which all of it was true as Izuku had experienced it firsthand. But seeing the dirty laundry of his youth being aired out like this…honestly, he didn't know how to feel about it. To him it was in the past and he had already moved on. Sure, there were lingering effects on his mentality but he had been working on those with Hound Dog.
There was a part of him that didn't want to poke the bear that was his past, but another wanted to see what kind of consequences his past teachers and peers would face. To see them suffer as he had suffered by their hands or lack thereof. Perhaps some of Nezu was rubbing off on him kind of like how Chizome had on his view of Heroes. Though Izuku would never go full blown revenge like Nezu does much like how he could never commit premeditated murder.
But this still left Izuku wondering why they were being summoned back after only a day. He didn't think anything he found in the news warranted any of their specific presences. Well, maybe him and his connection to Aldera or even Hitoshi and his potential one with the foster center investigation. Mei didn't have any association with the news stories and Izuku didn't see any particular ones with the Heroes in the back. That could only leave…
Izuku looked over at the slumbering Shouto beside him. He looked at peace resting with his eye closed and face slack. It was the same expression he had this morning when they had woken up together. Which reminded the greenet what they had almost done as he found himself glancing down at his friend's lips and forced himself to look away.
Perhaps this all was the start of the take down of Endeavor? Or at least the lead up to it. This certainly would be a good place to start. First with low-ranking Heroes being held responsible for their mistakes. Along with a middle school and a foster center being investigated as well. If they used the notes he had given Nezu about the Heroes targeted by Stain, maybe they could even slowly reveal why he had chosen them.
Izuku decided to suggest that to his mentor once they met up again. Revealing the Hero Killer's motivation and his criteria of what a false Hero actually was no matter the rank. Because it could be a perfect way to ease the public into actually believing anyone could become corrupted in the current system. Even the Number Two Hero.
The people had already started to question the legitimacy of the news claiming that Stain was just a mad man. But by slowly introducing them the reasons behind his actions and who he targets, perhaps it would help others better understand Chizome. To see him as more than just some random murderer who targeted Heroes for no reason.
Honestly Izuku really liked that idea. Then it could ease them into seeing the imperfections of their current system. That there were flaws and those flaws could be anywhere. Not just criminal behavior, association, or neglect of duty, but also hidden behind closed doors while off the clock. Maybe even motivate them to step up and hold those in power responsible for their actions, or lack of action, no matter how high they ranked in society.
Starting low and working their way up would help acclimate the people to this idea. Like placing a frog in water and slowly raising the temperature. Only this time Endeavor would be the frog and hopefully his future consequences would boil him alive. Because that bastard deserved whatever comes to him for all that he has done. At least Shouto was away from him finally and his friend had even told him that his sister was looking into apartments now that he was out of the house.
Fuyumi seemed like a kind and caring sister when Izuku had met her briefly after the Sports Festival. Perhaps she had only stayed in the Todoroki home for Shouto? His friend had mentioned once that he had more than one sibling but she was the only one left living there other than him. His older brother Natsuo was a college student living near campus.
Then there had to be another sibling because Shouto had mentioned once that he had three, but the third he didn't really talk about. Well, to be honest, the bi-color teen didn't talk about his family much anyway. The most had been during the Sports Festival concerning his father and his reason for being born. Other than that, it was passing comments and brief check-ins to see how he was faring at home.
But now Shouto was living in the dorms away from his father. Hopefully forever out of that bastard's reach to never again suffer his expectations or 'training'. Perhaps that was the reason they were coming back early. That this 'development' was in regards to Endeavor and taking the abusive father down. Seems a little too soon for him but maybe? Either that or it could be them finally getting Shouto into the loop that they were investigating the Number Two Hero.
Izuku could speculate all he wanted but they would all have to wait until they got back. At least them coming back early meant he should be able to see his mom soon. It may seem pathetic to some that he couldn't even last two days away from his mother. But Inko and Izuku were close having only each other for most of his life. Of course, Hisashi was still in their lives but they could only share their love with him from afar.
Seeing as he would have to wait for answers, Izuku put away his phone and decided to follow Hitoshi and Shouto's example to nap the rest of the flight away. The greenet was getting comfortable when they hit a small pocket of turbulence and the plane jerked. Mei gave no reaction and Hitoshi didn't even stir. Shouto though was woken up and gave a grunt as he blinked awake.
"Are we there yet?" he asked groggily.
"No, not yet," Izuku replied quietly. "Just some turbulence. You can go back to sleep."
His friend hummed in response as he closed his eyes. Izuku smiled endearingly at his restful face and settled in to nap as well. The overall quiet atmosphere of the cabin with the small sounds of Mei tinkering lulled him to sleep. In what seemed like no time at all, Izuku found himself being gently shaken awake. Green eyes blinked slowly open and peeked up to see Yamada looking down at him.
"Time to get up, listener," Present Mic said quietly with a smile. "We're almost there."
"Mmm, five more minutes," Izuku replied as he closed his eyes and snuggled into his warm pillow.
Wait, pillow?
The Voice Hero chuckled as he watched the greenet force himself to open his eyes and see he was snuggled up against Shouto. Huh. He must have ended up leaning against his shoulder while they slept. Another snicker drew his attention back to the loud blonde.
"You took pictures, didn't you?" Izuku accused as he carefully moved away from his friend.
"Guilty as charged," Yamada admitted with no shame. "I'll share them with you later. Anyway, care to wake up the other listener? I gotta handle Toshi who is just as stubborn as Shou is when it comes to his naps."
The Quirkless teen nodded and his teacher left to go wake up his grumpy kitten of a foster kid. Izuku carefully placed a hand on the shoulder he had been leaning against and gave a gentle shake.
"Shouto, time to wake up," the greenet prompted quietly.
The element wielder did not open his eyes and instead leaned his head down to nuzzle Izuku's hand.
"Five more minutes," he mumbled.
Izuku chuckled as he had said the same exact thing just a few moments ago. He gave another gentle shake.
"We're almost there," he said earning a grumble in complaint from his friend.
But Shouto forced himself to wake up doing his best to blink the remaining sleep from his dual-colored eyes. Once they landed on green, he turned his arm that was on the arm rest so that his palm was face up. An open invitation to hold his hand that Izuku immediately accepted. He intertwined their fingers and gave a squeeze before looking around the cabin.
There was some moving around as everyone was preparing to land. Mei reluctantly putting her current project away. Yamada chose to just sit and buckle in next to Hitoshi who either was refusing to wake up or was playing dead just to mess with the blonde. Or even both to get a few more moments of precious sleep. With no sight of Hound Dog, Izuku could guess he was in the back with All Might.
A pressure on his shoulder made him turn his attention back to his immediate area. Green eyes were met with a wall of red and white as Shouto's head was leaning on his shoulder. A switch to their positions from earlier. Izuku let out an amused huff as it seemed his friend had fallen back asleep. He gave a loving pat to his head before checking they were both safely buckled up. Izuku then leaned his head on Shouto's and closed his eyes to enjoy a bit more time being close to his crush before they landed back in Japan.
In retrospect that had been a bad idea as they had both nodded off and once again Izuku was woken up by Yamada. Only this time he actually witnessed the loud man taking pictures of them. All while Hitoshi smirked doing nothing to stop his foster dad. Jerk, as always. Mei just stood there smiling as she usually did though she did shoot him a wink.
Mei-chan too? Ugh.
"Alright, alright, you got your evidence," Izuku waved them off as he straightened up. He then turned to Shouto as best he could and gently shook him awake once more. "C'mon, Shouto. It's really time to get up now. We're here."
The element wielder was slow to open his eyes and blankly stared at everyone for a few seconds. He finally processed the situation and nodded as he sat up. The two let go of each other's hands and worked on unbuckling and gathering their things. At the same time, the private cabin opened and All Might stepped out followed by Hound Dog. Together they all disembarked the plane with their luggage and got into the discreet van waiting for them.
