Izuku woke up feeling incredibly refreshed and rested. When he opened his eyes, he was met with an incredibly familiar room, though he was lower than he would usually be. The walls were grey and decorated with a few posters of heroes, predominantly All Might. The room was clean and modern, it could be nobody else's but Katsuki's.

"Finally awake, Nerd?" Katsuki's voice sounded from somewhere to Izuku's left. With sleepy movements, Izuku rolled over on the futon and beheld Katsuki sitting up in his bed with a textbook open in front of him.

"Why am I on the floor?" Izuku croaked.

"I didn't know if you would be comfortable sleeping in the same bed as me without knowing, so I pulled out the futon the hag forced me to keep," Katsuki said matter of factly.

"That makes sense," Izuku hummed as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. Sleep still clung to the edges of his consciousness and his eyelashes, he could easily sink back into the futon beneath him and sleep for another hour. "What time is it?"

"Half-past eight," Katsuki answered shortly, his attention was directed solely to the textbook. Izuku was a rather studious boy, much like Katsuki, but he couldn't focus properly on independent study so early in the morning.

"Have you had breakfast yet? I can go and get you something," Izuku said. He finally pushed himself off of the floor and stretched, his back clicked and cracked as he moved, the sounds were satisfying though Katsuki grimaced at them.

"I've already eaten. I got you some food as well," Katsuki gestured vaguely to his desk where a plate of toast and glass of apple juice rested, "Also, we need to talk about something you said last night."

A jolt of fear shot through Izuku. He'd been extremely out of it last night, all he remembered was a vague journey from the lounge to Katsuki's room and possibly saying thank you to his boyfriend. He had no idea what he had said that could prompt a discussion.

"What did I say?" Izuku stuttered, "Was it something bad? Cause if it was something bad I swear I didn't mean it, I was really tired and you know that I say weird random stuff when I'm tired." Izuku rambled. He twisted his fingers and looked anywhere but at Katsuki, desperately trying to recall what he had said the previous night.

"How do you know you didn't mean it if you don't remember?" Katsuki asked with a raised brow, he watched as Izuku squirmed, even more, his brow beginning to shine with sweat. "Don't stress yourself out, Nerd. It wasn't particularly bad. You just said that you're going to go out and prove that the Hero Safety Commission had set you up. And you said something about being suspicious about the League..."

"Oh!" Izuku exclaimed. Obvious relief flashed across his face before it crumpled ever so slightly, "So... I told you about that?"

"Well, not really. You just said that you wanted to go and then some incoherent words about shit," Katsuki muttered, "Explain, Nerd."

Izuku sighed heavily and fell onto the foot of Katsuki's bed, the textbook bounced and flipped off of the bed at the sudden movement but Katsuki didn't seem to care, all of his attention was devoted to his boyfriend. Ruby eyes met with emerald and a silent agreement was made. Neither one of them would mention what they were about to talk about unless it was vital for somebody's safety. Being a hero course student came with the ability to keep secrets, even from your closest friends. Katsuki gestured for Izuku to move up the bed so that he would be sitting next to him, Izuku obliged quickly.

"I just don't think that arguing back and forwards with the Hero Saftey Commission is gonna do much. They're adamant about taking me down, and I'm sure that they'll start going after others soon," Izuku started without preamble, "So... I think that I should just take things into my own hands. At least then I'll actually be doing something instead of just sitting around doing nothing."
