• Chapter 2 •

Another day at the lunch table. Everything was practically the same as any other time. Only Izuku hadn't gotten to his usual seat yet.

"I wonder what's taking Midoriya so long." Tenya pondered as he looked over to the empty seat next to him.

"He's feeling shy today, that's all." Ochaco reassured.

"Isn't he shy every day?" Shoto tilted his head like a puppy.

"Well, yes, but more so today because-"

Ochaco halted her sentence as Izuku walked towards the table, setting down his platter of food, and covering his head and face with his notebook as he blushed underneath.

"Midoriya, are you okay?" Yaoyorozu worried.

"He's fine! C'mon, Izuku! Show them your new look! It looks great!" Ochaco cheered him on.

"I-I don't think it looks bad... I just... Stuff like this always draws people's attention! I-I don't want a bunch of people l-looking at me..."

"What about your friends? I'm sure they want to see. You don't mind us looking, do you?"

It took Izuku a moment before he took a deep breath and removed the notebook from his face, revealing his new haircut. The back and sides were shaved underneath his long, curly hair on top. It wasn't too different from his old hair but very noticeable.

"You look great, Midoriya! A change in style is one way to boost your confidence!" Tenya informed him.

"I-I don't feel any more confident than usual..."

"It's still a very nice look for you. I always thought about restyling my hair but I'm not exactly sure what I wanna go with." Shoto added.

Ochaco nudged him, "Well when you figure it out, you know who to call."

Meanwhile, over at Bakugo's table, the group were talking about stories that happened over their weekends, as well as bringing up the party Katsuki would be hosting at his parents' house.

Whenever his parents had to go away for business trips, he would be called to house sit. Once they're gone, he'll throw parties. Only the popular students were invited, so everyone else could only imagine how crazy the parties were and how much the popular people were having the time of their lives.

When in reality, the party was more of a small get-together with friends. Of course, there would be drinks and music but the house wouldn't get completely trashed and the most people would do is hang out and talk. It didn't sound like much but his friends enjoyed it so that was all that mattered.

Ashido was going on about how she and Ochaco had to wait in a long line just to try out a new dessert shop that opened a few blocks away from campus.

Katsuki would listen in and out, mostly scrolling through social media on his phone or playing games on it. But the moment is crimson eyes looked up from the screen, that's when he finally saw him.

Izuku.

Katsuki was usually the one to make extras drop their jaws, but this time he was the one with parted lips.

He thought Izuku was cute as he was but who knew it could get even better than that?

Meanwhile, Eijiro laughed at a joke Denki had just told him. He nudged Katsuki as he wiped a tear, "Dude, did you hear that!?" He hysterically laughed again, but it suddenly ended once he realized Katsuki hadn't answered, "Yo, Kat! Did you hear me? Earth to Bakugo!"

The redhead decided to use his brain and look over to where Katsuki's gaze was heading towards. He grinned while Kaminari and Sero copied his actions to also figure out what had Katsuki acting weird.
