Chapter 22: Peppermint

Shoto scratched the back of his neck, silently yawing as he walked into the kitchen. The moonlight shinned through the windows as he grabbed himself a glass. He slumped over to the sink and held out the glass.

"hi"

"Jesus fuck," Shoto yelled as he turned to the voice. His eyes were met with the blueberry boy, staring straight at him. His glasses that were usually positioned on his nose were nowhere to be seen. Shoto gulped.

A low chuckle escaped Iida's lips, "Prince, your going to wake someone up."

"Oh, uh, sorry," he muttered, instantly burning up.

"Why aren't you asleep?"

The red on his face faded as he responded, "I was just thinking about stuff." Iida hummed before Shoto turned the faucet and filled his cup with water. "What about you?"

"Nightmare," he answered, "I don't think I'll be able to sleep after that."

"Then, let's hang out in my room," Shoto suggested.

"Like a sleepover?"

The two boys released a stifled laugh before Iida continued, "Lead the way, your highness."

Shoto wandered down the halls while Iida followed slightly behind him. Shoto noticed his droopy eyes and how he really wasn't watching where he was going. He quietly yawned. Suddenly, Iida fell over his own feet, grabbing onto Shoto. 

Ah, sorry! I'm a little clumsy," Iida apologized while trying to releasing him.

Shoto grabbed onto his arm, "It's fine, are you okay?"

"I'm good," Iida answered, eyeing his hand that was clasped in between Shoto's. He turned and continued walking, yet still holding Iida's hand. His hand is warm.

 All of Iida's sleepiness had disappeared in a second.

"We're here" he said as he opened the door, "You can sit anywhere you want." Iida walked in and instantly collapsed onto one side of the bed, Shoto following a little while after. They locked eyes.

"What are you thinking about?" Shoto asked.

"The nightmare I had. About what happened to my brother. What about you?"

Shoto was hesitant, "What would happen if Endeavor just— I don't even know at this point." He cut himself off, "Right now, everything just seems too good."

Iida reached for his hand. "Nothings going to happen. He's locked up for good."

Shoto smiled, "Thanks for reassuring me."

Iida's eyes lit up and his cheeks grew pink.

"What?"

He grinned back, "This is the second time I have seen you smile today!"

Shoto's face flushed red. He quickly covered his mouth.

He quickly shook his head, "I didn't mean it in a bad way! You look really cute."

He slowly led his hand cascade back down, as his eyes flickered up to meet Iida's. His eyes were tender and gentle. It made Shoto feel more relaxed and comfortable around him. He could stare into his dreamy eyes for eternity and never get bored.

Shoto gulped, "Really?"

"Yeah.."

They slowly leaned in, closing the distance between them. Their eyes carelessly shut as their lips gently touched. Iida let his hand travel up to Shoto's neck as his tongue explored his mouth. He really does tastes like peppermint...

Their lips steadily separated from each other.

Iida shot up from the bed, his face replicating a tomato. "I think I'm going to go back to my room.."

"Okay," Shoto nodded, equally as embarrassed and red as Iida, "good night."

Iida paced through the hallways. He just kissed the class prince. The oh so very handsome prince! 

He snapped out of his thoughts when he reached Uraraka's room. I really want to tell her about what just happened.. She'd get mad if I told her in the morning instead of right now. He knocked on her door and received no answer. He was deciding if he should just barge in. 

We have that assignment due tomorrow and she said she didn't even start it.. And she had changed her clothes while I was present in the same room before.. It should be fine, if she was doing something personal she would have locked her door! Iida sighed while opening the door and letting himself in.

His bottom lip dropped to floor as his eyes widened. Toga and Uraraka were on her bed, Toga on top of Uraraka, her shirt tossed on the carpeted floor. 

"Oops," Iida said before shutting the door gently.

He blinked once more. 

His face grew pink.

"what the actual fuck."
