3 Are Better Than 1

Chapter 1

Third Person POV

Izuku Midoriya starts tossing and turning. He feels so cold, yet so hot at the same time. He's sweating buckets as he continuously squirms in his bed, trying to get comfortable. He whimpers in pain, tears falling from his scrunched up eyes. As this goes on, something else happens. Several All Might figurines, pencils, and notebooks start floating in midair. They move up and down with the tossing and turning of Izuku.

He jolts awake, causing everything to fall. He looks around his now messy room, searching for the cause, before it hits him. He was the cause. Izuku looks down at his hands, wondering how he could have done this. After a long while, he gives up and attempts to go back to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the rooms next to and below him, three boys sit awake, wondering what happened. They each knew exactly what room it came from, and shrugged it off as Izuku, being the night owl he is, dropping a book or knocking something over. They each went back to sleep, hoping their assumptions were correct about one of their secret loves.

The next morning, Izuku woke up looking like shit. His hair was way messier than normal, his eyes were not sparkling as usual and had small dark bags underneath, and he could barely manage a smile. Eijirou Kirishima, Denki Kaminari, and Katsuki Bakugo all took note of this. The dekusquad noticed as well that Izuku just looked plain awful.

After breakfast and a cup of coffee from Aizawa, he was looking much better. On the way to school, Denki tried to lighten his mood by asking if he would hangout with the bakusquad today. Izuku's face brightened and his usual sparkle was back. He loved hanging out with his childhood friend any chance he got. He also loved hanging out with the other two most positive, outgoing, and kind people in Class 1-A. 

"So, what do you think Aizawa is going to make us do today?" Denki asks, flashing a smile. "I just fucking hope that it's way more fucking challenging than yesterday's shitty exercise," Katsuki says, palms sparking. "I'm kind of hoping for a team exercise," Izuku mumbles. 'Cute,' his secret lovers think.

"A team exercise sounds great! Those are super fun when you get paired with friends!" Mina exclaims while jumping on Sero. They continue talking about what they could possibly be doing today until they arrive at class. They got there surprisingly early and continued talking as the rest of the class came in. It surprised many people to see the bakusquad having a peaceful conversation with Izuku. Even Aizawa was surprised when he walked in a few minutes before the bell.

After the bell rang and everybody was in their seats, Aizawa started class. "Alright class, tomorrow we'll be starting a five day training course, which I'll explain tomorrow. Today you all have the day off to relax before you can't anymore. Now leave me alone," he says. Then he curls up into his sleeping bag and falls asleep.

The rest of that day, nobody except the bakusquad saw much of Izuku. He was having the most fun, relaxing day he's had in a while and forgot all about his troubles from the previous evening, playing games and watching movies. That is, until someone at dinner brought it up.

The class had decided that they would all eat dinner together once a week, and tonight was that night. Izuku and the bakusquad sat at one end of the table, next to them was the dekusquad, then the rest of the girls, and lastly the rest of the guys with Mineta on the end. Everyone was talking and chatting away, enjoying themselves, when Uraraka decides to pop a certain alarming question.

"Does anybody know what caused that thud sound last night?" she asks. Izuku freezes while Denki, Eijirou, and Katsuki all look at him. "Oh yeah, I heard that, too," Todoroki says. "It came from the third floor," Jirou stated, twirling her aux cord around her finger. Izuku started majorly fidgeting as they tried to figure out where the sound came from. "Hey Deku-kun you live on the third floor, right? Do you know what happened?" Uraraka says, turning to Izuku who was now hyperventilating.

Denki was closest to him and started rubbing his back. Katsuki and Eijirou decided to go grab him some stuff in the kitchen. Eijirou grabbed some water while Katsuki looked for the emergency anxiety meds Recovery Girl prescribed for them in case of something like this. As they started leaving, kitchen knives started floating. Eijirou noticed just in time to activate his quirk and shield Katsuki from them. "Good catch," Katsuki mumbled with a slight blush on his face. "Thanks," Eijirou replied, his own cheeks turning pink.

The two came back in to see Denki still trying to calm Izuku down. They brought the water and the pills over and he took them immediately. Then they three of them picked Izuku and his stuff up and brought him to his room. Denki unlocked his door with one of the master keys he stole from Aizawa.

"What?" he asks as the two taller males stare in shock. "How did you do that?" Eijirou asks. "I stole one of Aizawa's master keys when I forgot my homework at school so I could sneak out and grab it," he explains. Katsuki would have facepalmed if it wasn't for the nerd in his hands. Denki opens the door and they almost drop everything in their hands.

All of Izuku's stuff is scattered across his room. His All Might merchandise and notebooks are everywhere. He has a small pathway to his bed that forks off to his bathroom, his closet, and his desk. The three slowly make there way through the mess, trying not to break anything. Katsuki places Izuku on his bed and covers him, while Eijirou and Denki put his stuff down and wait for Katsuki outside.

Katsuki exits the room, and Denki closes and locks it. Then they go to Eijirou's room. "We need to keep an eye on Midoriya," Denki says. "He seems very stressed lately, ever since we moved into the dorms." Katsuki and Eijirou look at each other, then back at Denki, who doesn't miss a thing. "What was that look right there. What happened in the kitchen?"

"We were fucking attacked by fucking FLOATING kitchen knives," Katsuki explains, putting emphasis on the word, floating. Denki's jaw drops as Eijirou nods. "It's true. If I hadn't noticed them in time, we'd both be dead," Eijirou sighs. "When did they start floating?" Denki asks, trying to wrap his head around this new information.

"It happened right as we were heading back into the dining room, and a few minutes before we actually re-entered," Eijirou says. Denki thinks for a moment before an idea comes to him. "That's when Midoriya's condition worsened! A few minutes before you came back, he started shaking and breathing even heavier," Denki exclaims.

"How could it possibly have been the fucking nerd? He doesn't have any other quirk that we know about. Just that fucking enhancement quirk that's similar to All Might's," Katsuki says. "I don't know, but this could be a possibility. We shouldn't cast it aside just yet. Let's get some rest and tomorrow we'll continue this, " Eijirou states. They all agree and head to bed, each wondering what the cause of all this could be.

I hope you all enjoyed the first awful chapter of my new book! Thanks and Enjoy!

Happy Pride! 🌈
