what are they...?

team todobakudeku schemes

Okay, so maybe Eijiro got excited a little too soon about working with Izuku.

If he knew that this was part of the plan, he never would've agreed.

He values his life and following through with Izuku's admittedly insane plan would most definitely jeopardize his. Especially if what Katsuki had told him was true.

Eijiro did not want to get on their bad side.

"- shima?"

Snapping out of his anxious thoughts, Eijiro looked up at the green haired teen across from him. "Sorry, Midoriya, what were you saying?"

Izuku smiled at the red head, eyes alight with mischief. "Just running through the plan with you one last time."

Gulping, Eijiro nodded. "I got it."

Katsuki snorted from Eijiro's side. "You sure sound confident."

"I'm nervous, alright?" Eijiro admitted, looking at the trio that sat with him. "If this plan doesn't work - "

"It will." Izuku smiled serenely, Shoto nodding from next to him.

"Okay, but on the off chance it doesn't, not only would I be upsetting our class, but I would be pissing off - "

"We have it under control." Izuku spoke matter of factly, his smile not wavering. "They won't be bothering you."

Eijiro was less than convinced.

The four teens continued their scheming in hushed tones, seeing as they were at the kitchen table of the dorms at two in the morning. They were trying to be polite and also not get eavesdropped on.

Why were they meeting in the kitchen at two in the morning?

Simple, really.

Izuku was hungry and wanted food, his boyfriends are too whipped to say no to him, and Eijiro was still awake, running into them on his way back from getting a glass of water. It worked out in everyone's favor, really, at least according to Izuku.

Eijiro scratched his head, looking at Izuku in confusion. "I just told everyone that I support the three of you dating. Why would I then do this?"

"There's a rather simple answer to that." Izuku took a bite of the pancake Katsuki had made for him. He chewed and swallowed before continuing. "You only said you support us to throw everyone off the fact that you're dating - "

"Fake dating." Eijiro corrected the other teen, not liking the looks he was receiving from Katsuki and Shoto. Sighing, Eijiro bit into the pancake that Izuku had forced Katsuki to make for him as a thank you for helping. "I hope this doesn't ruin my chances with Kaminari."

Izuku pat Eijiro's hand. "Hey, you help us with this, we'll help you with Kaminari."

"What's this 'we' shit?" Katsuki grumbled, chin resting in one of his hands while the other twirled the ice in his water.

"Kacchan." The blond grunted, making eye contact with Izuku. "You said you wanted to mess with the class while coming out. The least we can do is help Kirishima here with his crush as a repayment for his help." Katsuki rolled his eyes. "You agreed to this plan, so stop pouting."

"Make me."

"Can we not do this? It is two in the morning and we are in semi public." Shoto was promptly ignored as Katsuki shot out of his chair the second the two words left his mouth, regretting them as soon as he said them. Izuku leapt over the table to chase after him, narrowly missing Eijiro. Shoto sighed, watching his two boyfriends chase after one another and throw pillows at each other. He turned to Eijiro, face blank. "See what I have to deal with?"

"You love us, Sho." Izuku called across the common room, right before he tackled Katsuki to the ground.

Eijiro looked between the three boyfriends, puzzled. Shoto caught the confusion coming from the red head and took mercy, explaining what was happening to him. "We have a sort of...understanding that if one of us says 'make me' to one of the other two, the recipient of the two words has full permission to make them." He gestured to where Izuku was straddling Katsuki, one hand pinning his boyfriend down while the other tickled him. "Usually one of those two says it."

"Not you?" Eijiro looked away from Izuku and Katsuki as the blond tried to hold back his laughter.

Shoto smirked. "I'm not a brat like those two."

"Fucking f-fight me, IcyHot!" Katsuki yelped, a small chuckle escaping his lips.

"At least I'm an adorable brat." Izuku bat his lashes innocently at Shoto, hand still tickling Katsuki.

Shoto smiled at the two of them. "Maybe when you're done losing to Izu I'll fight you, Kat. And you're both adorable, Izu."

"Fuck you!"

"Not in front of Kirishima." Shoto hummed.

Eijiro blinked at the interaction, taken aback by their behaviors and how natural it seemed for them. He didn't expect them to act so...throuple-y in front of him so soon. Sure, he knew about their relationship status but he still thought it would take some time before they behaved so openly in front of him.

It was a tad jarring for him, if he were being honest.

Izuku finally let up his tickling of Katsuki, the duo rejoining their boyfriend and co-conspirator at the table.

The red head looked at Shoto with wide eyes. "Do I...do I have to act like that with - "

"No, no. Just add in some flirting and 'subtle' touches here and there. Nothing too dramatic or the class will know it is fake." Izuku reassured his friend, a yawn escaping his mouth.

Shoto nodded, a small smile creeping onto his face when Izuku dropped his head onto his shoulder. "Well, I think we've done enough for tonight. Let's all go to bed and put the plan into action tomorrow, okay?"

Katsuki groaned from his place by the kitchen sink where he was putting their dishes. "Thank fuck. I am so tired."

Izuku and Shoto snickered at their boyfriend's sleep habits, following after Eijiro as they all made their way to the stairs. They said goodnight to the red head, the three boyfriends making their way into Katsuki's room as Eijiro closed his bedroom door, hoping that sleep would help give him the confidence to follow through with the plan.

Eijiro fell asleep a few minutes after crawling into bed, his last conscious thought was anxiety over whether Izuku really had everything under control.

If he didn't, Eijiro could be in for a world of pain.

Eijiro sneezed in class, a chill going down his spine.

Thinking he was just coming down with a cold, Eijiro had no idea about the storm heading his way.
