#1 In My Heart

Strange

Todoroki POV

I wake up to the sound of water. Is it raining? No. It's the shower running. I pat the empty space in front of me. Still groggy I get up to see a peacefully sleeping Ei next to me. I walk to the bathroom inside my room to see Kats stepping into the shower.

"Finally utilizing the second bathroom I see" I say to him as I lean against the doorway.
"Shut up, idiot" he says with a smirk. "Are you gonna get in too, or are you just gonna stand there staring?" The smirk still saying on his face as he talks.
"No. That's okay. I think I'll just enjoy the view" I say smirking back, still leaning against the doorway.
"You guys always have fun without me" Ei says suddenly, making a pouty face.
"How'd you sleep?" I question him.
"Sober cuddling is a lot better than drunk cuddling" he says while laughing and wrapping an arm around me.

The three of us still haven't talked fully about what we're doing. But the weird tension that was between us is slowly lifting, the more we act this way with each other. It's weird, in a good way. Have I always felt this way for them? Maybe this is why I turned down every girl that came after me. Maybe I subconsciously knew what I wanted, or should I say who, I wanted. They said that they've felt the same for a couple months now. But, maybe they too, have only just realized. I think back to all the interactions we've had for the past 10 years. Still wondering when I could've developed these feelings.

"Strange." I accidentally say out loud, not realizing my own thoughts have turned into actual words.
"What?" Ei asks politely, not trying to pry in fear of yesterday happening again.
"Oh? Hm? Sorry. I was just thinking..." I say as I hear the water turn off and see Kats stepping out of the shower.
"Thinking about what?" Kats says as he wraps a towel around his waist.
"We should just talk. About what it is we're doing." I say glancing at my phone to check the time.
"Can it wait till after work?" Ei says as he lets go of me.
"Of course it can" I say with a smile. "I just think it would be a good idea, don't you guys?"
"Yeah. You're right." Ei says. "I'm proud of you for wanting to talk about your feelings" he gives me a kiss on the cheek. I smile at him.
"You dumbasses are about to be late if you don't start getting ready" Kats says, interrupting.
"Fine. Fine. You're right. Thanks dad." Ei says, rolling his eyes and laughing as he runs away to escape whatever Kats plans on doing.
"You." Kats looks at me. "Go get ready."
"Ugh fine." I look at him rolling my eyes.
"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" He questions. I giggle slightly.
"You're being a brat." He says in a stern but calm voice. "Why? What happened to that dominant demeanor that you had yesterday?" He says slowly walking over to me.
"Mm sometimes I feel a little bratty. Sometimes I feel a little dominant. Is there a problem with that?" I say as I walk away to get ready.
"Nope... Brat." He says to me. I can't help but blush a little. "Who's the brat?" Ei walks in already ready for work. "Sho's being a brat."
"Guess we'll just have to fuck it out of him then."
I can feel them both smirking at me. I can also feel my face turn bright red.
"Mmm nope" I giggle.
"No?" They both question.
"No." I say back my voice a little more stern. "We can't do anything like that until we talk about everything" I say as I undress to get ready for work. "Not only that, but we don't even have time for that to happen. We don't want to be late." I finish my sentence to feel a hand on my waist. "Yeah. You're right." Kats whispers in my ear. It sends a shiver down my spine. "Consider this payback. For yesterday." He says, pressed against my back. He lightly pulls my hips into him, making me let out a soft moan. "Now finish getting ready, brat"
Ei let's out a giggle as he watches us. "You keep this up and we're definitely going to be late" he says walking towards us. "Kats. Stop teasing poor Sho and go get dressed" he giggles again.

"Fine." He releases me and leaves to get ready.
"I'm not sure which version of you I enjoy more. The bratty one or the dominant one. Both are incredibly hot" I blush as he lets out a giggle.

"By the way" he says walking away. "If you grind like that against me again while we're cuddling, you're gonna get it." I blush even more. I didn't even know I did that. We all finish getting ready. It was... weird. I have no idea what's happening or going to happen. But, I can't think about it until our talk tonight. It'll distract me from work and the last thing I need is to bring work home today.

Work is always so boring. And honestly, I can't stop thinking about this morning. Which is making work drag on even more. I feel a buzz in my pocket, it snaps me out of my thoughts. I pull my phone out to see a text from Kats.

K: I'm getting off work early today.

Another text comes in from Ei. I guess they made a group chat for the three of us.

E: Sounds good. Why?

K: I'm doing something.

S: Something? Should we be worried.

K: Stop trying to pry idiot. It's a surprise.

E: I don't like your surprises. They're always mean.

K: Shut the fuck up before I murder you.

E: You can't murder me if I don't come home.

S: You two are always so weird.

K: You wanna say that to my face, Halfie?!

S: I gladly will.

K: Still being a brat I see.

E: I told you what we should've done. But Sho said no.

S: You're so desperate for me. It's cute.

I laugh to myself as I press send on the last message. I choose not to look at my phone for the rest of the day, knowing that last text probably put me in trouble with Kats. Although, I'm curious to see his surprise.

I finally finish my day at work, excited to head to the apartment. Our apartment? My apartment? I guess that's something else we need to discuss tonight...

"You're always in your head" I hear Ei's voice. He's leaned up against the car. "Kats told me to pick you up" he says opening the door for me. "You'd probably look a little less startled if you picked up your phone once in a while. We didn't make that group chat to be ignored by you, you know." I laugh as he keeps talking. "Sorry. I'll try to answer it more" I say back. "Liar." He retorts. We both laugh as I get into the car. "Why can't I drive?" I make a little pouty face. "Sorry. No can do. You always drive us around. Let me drive you this time." He laughs getting into the drivers seat. "Do you know what the surprise is?" I ask, trying to get information on what to expect. "Nope." He responds bluntly. "We'll be home soon. Just be patient."

When have I ever been known to be patient when it comes to Kats and Ei.
