3rd POV:








December was right around the corner and Izuku still hadn't found himself a new roommate. He knew he couldn't afford the bills all by himself, so if he didn't find a new roommate in time then he'd probably have to consider moving back in with his mom, and her boyfriend, Toshinoro.

It would be really awkward considering that Izuku and Toshi weren't very communicative. Yes they greeted each other when around one another, and could hold a decent conversation, but it was still extremely awkward.

Toshinori didn't want to impose in on Izukus life, and he also wasn't looking to replace his father. So they usually avoided each other when in the same area. He only recently moved into his mom's place after he graduated so he moved out pretty quickly wanting to give the couple some space.

Izuku loved his mom. She was always so kind and generous, and she would work her ass off so her son could have a wonderful future ahead of him. But after his dad died his mother was never the same. She lost a piece of herself that day, and Izuku never thought she'd find it ever again, but that wasn't until she met Toshi.

Izuku knew that Toshi made his mom happy, so he was willing to try and move on as well. For his mothers sake.

"Okay, I made an add to help you find a roommate, it should be in this week's newspaper." Todoroki said as he sat himself next to the greenette currently sitting on the couch. Izuku looked away from his phone, "you what? Don't only old people read the newspaper?" Izuku questioned,

Todoroki chuckled lightly, "well I'm sure young people do as well Midoriya." Izuku shrugged, "I'm not sure that would do a lot, Todoroki. But I'd rather just hang up a roommate wanted poster somewhere. Im sure I can get it on the board at Kaminari's work." Izuku mumbled looking back at his phone. Todoroki sighed, "I still feel bad for moving out. Your my best friend Midoriya. I hope this doesn't change anything." Izuku turned off his phone putting it on the coffee table in front of him, "Todoroki,  you don't need to worry about me. Im happy for you. Momo seems like a really great girl to have by your side and I don't want to get between that." Izuku smiled softly at his friend, Todoroki returning the smile.

"And besides, once I'm out of college and have a stable job, I'm probably gonna move out of here anyways." Izuku added,

"Momo keeps saying when you get a girlfriend we should go on a double date." Todoroki said, Izuku cringed, "Listen, Todoroki, my best friend. Even if I did have a girlfriend I would never, and I mean nev-er, go on a double date even if it costed my life." Izuku said tender- heartedly, Todoroki chuckled, "no hard feelings Midoriya, I feel the same way."
They both chuckled simultaneously.

As the day carried on Izuku drove himself Down to his friend Kaminari's work, Silvers bowling alley.

It was a pretty popular place for teenagers to hang out, which is why Kaminari works there because he is a man child and will always be.
Izuku walked in to the building being met with strobe and disco lights, lighting up the place.

The floor had black carpet with different coloured shapes spread out everywhere, and there was always loud music playing. It was basically a club for children minus the alcohol.

Izuku looked around then to the front counter seeing his blonde friend giving out shoes to a group of girls. Izuku waited till they left to approach his friend.

"Hey Kaminari! Been awhile." Izuku said leaning his arms on the counter, catching his friend's attention, " Ay-yo! Midoriya, what's up man? You here to bowl?" Kaminari asked mimicking his friends pose, Izuku shook his head, " No, it'd be pretty boring alone. I was wondering if I could hang a flyer up on your leisure board?" Izuku asked, Kaminari took a quick look at the board at the other side of the room, he noticed it wasn't as full at the moment so he nodded his head, "yeah man, give it here!" Kaminari said enthusiastically, he reached his arm out receiving the paper from his green haired friend, he looked at it as he walked out from behind the counter, Izuku followed him over to the board, "still haven't found a roommate yet i see" Kaminari said as he thumbtacked the flyer to the board, Izuku hummed, "yeah, it's harder then I thought, especially when I don't want a sociopathic killer as a roommate." Kaminari chuckled, "Man, I know a guy who's been looking for a place for a while now, but I'm sure your apartments too far from his local college." Kaminari said, he walked back over to the front counter as Izuku's followed once again, "ugh, Part of me hates Todoroki for this, but the other half of me is really happy for him!" Izuku complained, Kaminary smiled, he started spraying some shoes with some anti-smell and anti-disinfectant chemicals, "maybe your just jealous of him. He's got the perfect girl, the perfect house, and the perfect job. I mean who wouldn't want that" Kaminari listed, Izuku sighed leaning back on the counter, "No, No it's not that it's just-... gah, I don't know, Todoroki's like my emotional support animal! Yeah that's it! Ever since my dad I've just been able to talk to him more about personal things, but now that he's got his own life, I don't know what to do with mine anymore..." Izuku sighed looking at the people bowling, he wished he was in high school again, he didn't have a care in the world, and his Homework was so simple back then.

"Midoriya...my man, my bestie, my dude.. My guy-!" Kaminari started but was cut off, "get to the point Kaminari" Izuku instructed blankly, Kaminari puffed nervously before continuing, "listen man, you got me and Uraraka, though we might not live together but we're here for you man. And if you ever need to get your head out of the books y'know I'm there." Kaminari reassured, Izuku's eyes squinted and his frown turned into a smile, "Thanks, Kaminari. But speaking of books you should be the one studying more then me," Izuku replied, Kaminari sighed, "like seriously, your just barely passing the course. How are you going the help people with not knowing how to actually help." Izuku lectured.
Kaminari put the recently sprayed shoes back on the shelf were they belong, "and he's back." Kaminari mumbled incoherently.





Izuku drove back home not long after. He picked up some takeout for him and Todoroki.
Since it was Sunday and he finished his homework, he asked Todoroki if he had any plans for the night and they were both free so tonight was to make up for all the missed game nights from the past few weeks.
He ordered some pizza, half Hawaiian, and half meat lovers only because Todoroki thought pineapple on pizza was a disgrace and wouldn't eat it if it was the last thing on earth.

"Hey, I'm home!" Izuku shouted, he placed the pizza box on the island then took his jacket off hanging it on the coatrack. Todoroki came out of his room in his pj's, it was only 7:35pm but he didn't have anything to do today so he got ready for bed earlier then usual, "you split the Pizza right?" He asked as he approached the box, Izuku nodded with a smile, "Yeah, you don't need to worry I won't make the same mistake twice" Izuku reassured, Todoroki sighed in relief, "good. Because I would have made you drive back there and get the right order." Todorki said as he opened the box. "I'm going go change, I'll be out in a few minutes" Izuku said as he left to go to his room. He changed into some plaid gray pyjama pants and thew on an old shirt along with a baggy red hoodie. He came back out into the living room to see Todoroki setting up their first board game of the night.

Izuku grabbed a plate from the kitchen cabinet and put a few slices of pizza on his plate, "whats on the agenda for tonight?" Izuku asked, he walked to the single chair across from the couch placing his plate of food on the coffee table next to his friends plate.

"For firsts I was thinking, guess who, then sorry, and we might have some time for scattergories." Todoroki listed.

Izuku nodded with a grin on his face, "your going down!" Izuku said fervently, Todorki chuckled, " it's on!"

The two played till around 10:00pm, Izuku ended up losing at Sorry, and guess who, but he won scattergories with ease. Although they did play four rounds of guess who Izuku only won once out of of the four rounds.

"I gotta be up early tomorrow, so I'm gonna get some sleep." Izuku said as he helped the duel haired boy clean up the game pieces."

Todoroki hummed in agreement, "same here, business school really isn't as fun as studying the human body." Izuku shook his head with a soft smile on his face, "G'night Todoroki" was all the green haired male said before leaving the room.
