Izuku had been working at the camp for about 3 months when they had their fall party. Shota had surprisingly let them throw a party with alcohol, most likely because the children weren't going to be there. They were having a party by the lake, giving it a 'makeover' as Ochaco described it. She got rid of the long grass around the corners, she checked way too many times for any animals in the lake, there wasn't any. She put fairy lights on the dock, she made it seem like a really fun party, probably because it was going to be.

All the workers were showing up, except for one. Izuku decided he didn't want to go because he wouldn't want to ruin the fun by not drinking too much. Ochaco and Mina, someone who had joined near the last month, insisted that it didn't matter and that nobody would mind if he didn't drink, but he declined their offer. Mina and Ochaco were the type to spread gossip, they were definitely the chatty type.

Due to Mina's habit of spilling all the facts she knew, Katsuki had found out about Izuku refusing to go. He decided to take a visit to his house. He walked up to his front yard, glaring at all of the bright flowers scattered around. The garden was very taken care of, the grass cut perfectly with everything neat, no soil spilling over the plant pot's. He figured this was his mother due to the fact that Izuku couldn't keep shit tidy. He smirked at the thought, stepping up towards the door and knocking. He whistled as he slipped his hands into his pockets.

He heard a small voice shout, "I'll get it!" Katsuki smirked again. The keys in the door twisted, the handle clicking down. Izuku popped his head around. "Kacchan!" A smile beamed on his face. He opened the door fully. He was wearing a black t-shirt and some really, really small shorts. Katsuki's ears went slightly red. "What are you doing here?" He leant on the side of the door.

"The party's in 2 hours. Why aren't you coming?" Izuku gave him an embarrassed look, straightening himself off the door. He blushed slightly. "Deku."

"Sorry. I don't drink as much as everyone else does, I don't wanna ruin the party by being the only sober person." He looked down at his feet. "And there's no point in showing up and leaving, right?"

"That's how parties work, unless you're sleeping over. Fucking idiot. I'm not drinking much either. I'm the one who has to drop all these bastard's off back home, so I'm having like a couple beers or somethin'"

Izuku looked up, raising his eyebrows. Katsuki smirked and Izuku smiled back. "I'll see you later, Kacchan." He grinned wider when Katsuki waved, walking back out of the garden. He shut the door, locking it again. He stomped his feet up and down, giggling in the process. His mother smiled softly in the other room. He raced upstairs, shakily grabbing his phone and calling Ochaco.

"Izu-"

"Ochaco!" He cut her off. "I'm coming to the party! What should I wear? I don't think I have anything!"

"Izuku!" She screamed down the phone. "I think you forgot that your co-worker is a professional stylist?" She wasn't. "I'll come over with an outfit and some makeup!"

"Makeu-"

"Okay, cya, love ya, baii!" Ochaco hung up. Izuku turned his phone off, lying down on his bed.

Katsuki had been the one to pick Izuku up, he expected other people to be in his car, but it was just him. He honked outside of the house. Izuku walked out in his outfit that Ochaco had prepared for him. It was a black, oversized shirt, which was flowing at the back due to the slight wind. He had a fishnet body suit underneath that the legs had been cut off, so it was only covering his upper body.
