The first two chapters of parallels are out on Patreon as well as all the character profiles (SOME profiles are in chapter 61 I think). Patreon is also in the midst of getting extra chapters, NSFW stuff, and commissions so I'm very bussyyy lmao
As always thank you for your readership and Patreon is 6 chapters ahead <3
Class dinners were always a fun time. Everyone gathered around, all twenty of you in the common room, the conversations both too loud for some and too quiet for others. The lights were dimmed, the mood set by Denki and Jirou playing music in the background while Iida and Deku set the table.
Katsuki usually didn't help with anything, just strolled downstairs in his sweatpants, hands in pockets, strolling in like he just wanted to grab food and leave. Thankfully, Mina and Sero did an excellent job at trapping him whenever he tried to get away while Kirishima left a nice spot on the couch open just for him.
It made for a humorous night when he pretended to be annoyed. In fact, everyone from Deku serving you dinner, to conversing with Momo, to spending time with everyone, this night was one not so heavy with the weight of everything.
Eventually, Shoto fell asleep too soon with his head on your shoulder, Bakugo and Kirishima arguing about something or other on the other side of the living room.
Surrounded by warmth and some seemness of comfort and distraction, it was actually quite easy to forget time and simply exist with your loved-ones.
Once the dinner was over, everyone began to yawn and retreat to their rooms. You went back to the kitchen to help clean up.
Katsuki not-so-discreetly slammed the door open, yelling back at his pestering crew of idiots, he was just putting his plate away in the sink. Of course given that you were at the sink doing dishes and the only one in these, it didn't take long for that plate of his to clank against all the others and his hands to slip to your waist instead.
He mumbled sweet, yet grouchy and annoyed little gibberish sounds against your neck, kissing a few times, making you smile back at him. After a few seconds of him indulging in your very limited alone time, Katsuki said goodnight with a kiss to your cheek, retreating back out of the kitchen and up to his room.
As soon as he left, someone else came in you were actually sort of surprised to see.
The water trickled down from the tap over your hands, soap sudsing over your fingertips as you washed the plates. The sound of footsteps interrupted your peaceful, yet mindless task as you looked back over your shoulder.
"Hi, All Might," You said, giving a brief smile as he walked in, ugly yellow suit oddly still on and far too big, his body deflated as ever.
"Y/n," Your teacher greeted, standing awkwardly, scratching the back of head, "how are you fee- no wait,"
It seemed he remembered what happened when he dared ask such a question- sarcasm and over-sharing would only follow.
"It's fine," you laughed, in a far too happy and sedated mood to further torture your poor teacher. "I'm doing well, and you?"
Instantly the man's face fell as he blinked with concern.
"What? What is it?" You asked, thinking there might've been something on your face.
All Might's eyebrows creased with sadness, his hands cupping his face in complete and utter sorrow as his student was in such rough shape she couldn't even take a jab at him.
"My poor child, what have they done to you?"
You had to laugh at that again a bit.
After the Hassaikai incident- what happened at Camino too, All Might earned more of your respect than he used to have. Now that he was close to powerless, retired, he truly did try and care for his students. Did what was best for everyone, Bakugo included.
