Away

Forty-Four

"-na wake them? Because I am not risking getting burnt or turned into an icicle."

"They do need to eat, but it would also be rude to wake them up." yeah, I wanna go back to sleep.

"Sounds good, but first."

"Why are you taking a picture?"

"Their siblings would want to see this."

"Shinso, if this one wasn't half on me and I wasn't comfy I'd snatch your phone."

"It's not like I got anyone's number to send it to."

I wanna cuddle Hitoshi too. Maybe I can migrate later tonight.

"Well food down stairs. Chicken Tacos, unless you want us to bring a plate up."

"Might be best." I feel Toya moves a bit "Do the works, but no salsa."

"You got it." Footsteps leave.

"I've been wondering, Takami." Yaoyorozu remarks "Why did Aizawa assign you to the girl side? If you know that is."

"No clue other than to scare Mineta. But she," I feel a tap "can do that on her own."

I roll over onto my stomach to hug Shoto.

"I see." Iida remarks. Ooo, my head feels dizzy, probably from not eating in I don't know how many hours.

"I swear you two can sleep through a nuke when you're cuddling something." Toya sighs.

"Not sure about a nuke." Shoto mumbles through a yawn.

"Well good morning to you, you wanna wake 'Zula up so she can eat too?"

"I wanna fall back asleep." I mumble.

"How long have you been awake for?" Toya asks.

"Not for much longer." I yawn, starting to feel sleep lassoing me back in.

"We need to eat Sis." Shoto yawns.

"I already texted your boyfriend to bring you up a plate." Toya adds.

"Who told ya Hitoshi was my boyfriend?" I mean, I've barely told Shoto, unless Toya was teasing...

Then oops.

"Wait he is, for reals?" Toya asks "I thought you were gay?"

"Nah, I'm the gay twin." Shoto yawns as I sit up.

"Welcome to outside the closet Shoto." I remark "And it looks like you need your gaydar re-tuned Toya." I joke

"I hope you realize how fucking hard it is to carry four plates of food up without spilling them." Hitoshi states, walking in the still opened door.

"It just takes practice 'Toshi." I stretch a bit before rubbing my eye as my boyfriend hands me a plate.

"Yeah it takes a hot minute to be able to do more than three plates. plus cups." Toya adds, accepting his plate.

"Nah-uh, I will spill the cups or try to use my quirk on the cups and still spill everything." Hitoshi sits down next to me after giving Shoto his plate.

We eat our food in silence. Hitoshi occasionally brushes either a hand or his leg against mine.

"So Shinso," Toya says "you made the mistake of dating Azula?"

"Pretty bold from the guy that'll need a strap-on if he wants to top his husband." I remark, earning a thwack from Toya as Shoto and Hitoshi nearly choke on their foods.

"My dick wasn't burnt off." Toya states.

"I don't think it's a mistake, but yes I'm dating Azula." Hitoshi answers, taking my free hand in his.

"Hurt her and we will kill you." Shoto warns.

"And how much you suffer will depend on what you did." Toya adds.

"Not gonna hurt her. So don't worry about it."

"Really Toya? You were out of the room when I threatened Keigo." I eyeroll "And I did a better job."

— —

"So what caused ya to tell Toya?" Hitoshi asks as we cuddle in his dorm.

"He was trying to tease me about us being a thing but actually not, so he thought, kinda like Damatachi calling you my 'boy toy'." I say "So my barely awake ass asked him who told him."

"That's funny." Hitoshi snorts.

"Yeah, surprised him a bit because he thought I was gay."

"Pfft He definitely needs his gaydar checked because you're doing a better job at clocking gays."

"Only guys, and it's not foolproof."

"Still better than him."

I give a shrug. I let out a deep breath, relaxing a little bit. Not that I'm tense, just a lot on my mind still. Hitoshi squeezes me close as he kisses the top of my head "You doing good?" he asks.

"Yeah."

Knock knock "Yo Shinso, it's Kaminari, can I come in?"

I get up, pointing to myself then to the closet as Hitoshi tells Kaminari to give him a second.

I shut the closet door behind me the majority of the way, just so Kaminari wouldn't see me.

Ooo hoodie. "What's up Kaminari?" Hitoshi asks, after I hear the dorm door open.

"Um, do you mind if I come in, it's a bit of a private question."

"If it's about my quirk-"

"Are you gay?"

Hitoshi pauses before answering "I'm pan, why do you need to know?"

"I-i like you, someone else too but she is very intimidating, but I really like you and the other person. And I really want to date you, both of you ideally but I know polyamory isn't everyone's thing. And, well, yeah, would you want to go out with me?"

"Who's the other person?" Hitoshi asks.

"W-why do you want to know?"

"To see if you got some taste, because it's already looking iffy at the moment." Hitoshi, Imma smack you.

"Well, you promise you won't tell her? Because I'm pretty sure she would kill me."

"So Azula?" Nah, can't be me.

"How did you figure that?"

"The other option was Jiro, but I've seen Azula scare grown men."

Know what, I think both of them have bad taste, just saying. Like why me?!

"But anyways, please please don't tell her that I like her. And please let me know if you want to go out with me, you don't have to give me an answer right now. Maybe by the end of the week while I try to grow my balls back to ask Azula?"

"Sure, I'll let you know by then." footsteps leave as the door closes and Hitoshi opens the closet door, red in the face. "Not what I was expecting," he admits.

"Ya think? Jesus Christ, one guy liking me is a fucking miracle, but two? Who da fuck is paying y'all?"

I get a flick to the forehead "No one is paying me, idiot and with how fucking red Kaminari's face was I doubt someone is paying him." Hitoshi states "And isn't that my hoodie?"

"Mine now, and the only thing keeping the dorms from being on fire at the moment."

"You look cute."

"Not helping the fire hazard."

"Nor will this." and Hitoshi hoists me up by my thighs and carries me over to his bed "But we do need to talk about Kaminari's confession."

I nod.
