palm trees on the beach

lets both take it easy (izuku and shoto)

"okay everyone! there's only two hours until the end of term party! so go get changed, eat, and meet up back here at 7!" izuku rubbed his head as he felt mina's voice echo through the living room.

he was already so tired from schoolwork and all the training he had put in for the week. midoriya's muscles ached as he pushed himself off of the couch and headed towards his room. "deku!" he turned to see uruaka waving him down at the entrance to the girl's hallway.

"hey, uruaka." izuku tried his best to greet his friend, but yawned loudly while rubbing his eyes. "deku, you look tired. are you gonna be okay to go to the party tonight?"

"as good as three hours of sleep will get me." he did his best to make a joke but was feeling the effects of his drowsiness. "okay, but todoroki will be there..." she sang the last part of her sentence as she skipped towards her own dorm.

"uruaka!" he whisper-yelled without drawing attention from his yelling. he shook his head and walked quickly out of embarrassment. he sighed on the other side of his door, sliding down to the ground.

izuku was way too tired to worry about todoroki, who he had been crushing on ever since the festival. but right now, he had a huge, fat crush on his bed. midoriya quickly set an alarm on his phone and jumped onto his bed, wrapping himself in his covers and allowing his mind to meet slumber.

-

he awoke to a loud tapping that seemed to come from his door. he groggily slumped to it, hearing the sounds of music and various cheers and laughter coming through the walls. he slapped his hand on his face when he realized he had probably slept through the start of the party.

"uruaka, i slept through my alarm but i'll be down in a- oh..." midoriya opened his door expecting to see his worrying friend checking where he was but instead, a boy with dual-colored hair stood towering over him.

"sorry to disappoint, but it's just me." shoto smiled while scratching the back of his neck. a blush crept on both of their faces, but neither of them would say anything.

"hi." "hi." they shared a laughed after speaking over each other. "may i come in?" deku quickly stepped back, allowing his crush to step inside.

he stared as shoto took in his room. "you know, i feel like i'm always seeing this for the first time everytime i come in here." he chuckled as he pointed towards the various all might merch scattered around the room.

"yeah, i get that a lot." they both laughed until it got silent. "how come you're not at the party with everyone else?"

"oh, i uh... i slept through my alarm. if you hadn't knocked, i would probably still be asleep." izuku got nervous as he explained himself.

"which would explain why you're still in your uniform." he pointed to deku's clothes. "right." he went over to his dresser to get out casual clothes to wear once he was fully awake.

"are you okay?" he turned to the boy who asked him the question. "you said you were asleep, but you still seem really tired." deku blushed as shoto pointed this out.

"i've been going insane over school lately, and all the endurance training aizawa's been throwing at us has been a drain." he tried to shake the grogginess as he was still rummaging through his drawers, pretending to look for something so shoto couldn't push it. "but don't worry, i'll be down in a sec."

"ahh, its okay. you're not missing much, midoriya. kaminari's just doing lame magic tricks again." shoto sat on the bed, which had an all might comforter he thought was cute.

midoriya put his clothes down before joining his classmate on the bed, "you know, you can call me izuku or deku, right?" shoto had a crismon red hue come onto his face. "r-really? does this mean we're... friends?"

unaware to them both, but they were inadvertently scooting closer to each other with every other exchange. "of course!" deku smiled before he yawned again.

"then you can call me shoto, but are you sure about going to the party? you seem like youre not even awake yet." he now reached his hand out to deku's shoulder. "shoto, im honestly still tired." he stretched, "do you... maybe wanna stay and watch a movie? i grabbed my laptop from my house?" he looked up at shoto, hoping that he would say yes.

yes, he did want to spend alone time with the boy he's been crushing on. but at the same time, he felt the chains of sleep tugging at his mind.

"yeah, lets both take it easy." shoto smiled before sitting back and getting comfortable on deku's bed. he could melt the sight of todoroki looking at him from his bed, with a smile on his face. he grabbed his laptop and scooted closer to todoroki.

as he loaded up a random movie, deku felt shoto put his arm around him. he pressed play and leaned into shoto. they stayed like this until todoroki felt a weight lightly fall on his shoulder. he turned to see deku had fallen asleep again, this time on shoto. he kissed deku's head, taking an inhale of izuku's shampoo.

todoroki rested his head onto deku's, both of them falling asleep.
