On today's episode of Things Izuku Did for Inexplicable Reasons (Even to Himself): allowing Fukui to post the video he'd filmed with the intention to show no one and then delete. Something inside him had prompted him to share it with them, and they got so impressed and excited about it that when the suggestion was made in the groupchat, he just went along with it. That was before he was told their account had rocketed to almost sixteen thousand followers overnight. That was quite a lot of people.

He got a little more panicked when Narumi sent a text to the groupchat during lunch break.

COLLISION COURSE!!

Asama: deku-kun

BeachHairDontCare: that song was gorgeous, though, seriously!! you were so emotional, I actually cried (┬┬﹏┬┬)

Asama: I second that

spiderqueen: I didn't cry

Asama: LIAR. how could you not

spiderqueen: it was still a good song, I just don't cry much

Asama: you emotionless being.

Izuku felt himself smile unabashedly at his phone, tucked into the back corner of his classroom and wishing he were with his friends in person. He honestly couldn't wait for band club after school, and that made him feel incredibly warm. He'd never had something like that before, never had a place where he could be completely himself and still have appreciative eyes on him. He was starting to think the fleeting looks from Kacchan didn't count for much.

Small-Might: thank you for being my friends and being so kind all the time. I'm very lucky to have met you all :)

spiderqueen: . . . oh my god

BeachHairDontCare: awwww midoriya-kun!!! ~\(≧▽≦)/~ we love being your friends too!!

Asama: I'm coming to your classroom to hug you right now deku-kun

spiderqueen: are you actually a real person

Small-Might: last time I checked...yes?

Asama: I don't know what the hell blondie was thinking but he for sure missed out, damn

BeachHairDontCare: seriously!!! you're the whole package with an extra bow on top✨
