When Izuku returned home from patrol (after getting his ass chewed out by Iida, who did, in fact, see him), he fell into his couch. After sitting at home for days in too much pain to move, running around the city had really drained him. He wouldn't be surprised if he fell asleep in his living room. 

A sigh dragged itself from his lips as he pulled his phone out. TV didn't sound like it would hold his attention at the moment, so doom-scrolling would have to do. That plan went out the window when his device clicked to life, and the newly added contact was still pulled up. 

He'd nearly forgotten Eijirou's request to text him when he made it home. Should he comply? Even to Izuku, it sounded like a horrible idea, but... Eijirou had been sweet, oddly sweet for a villain. Even without all the flirting, he was still borderline nice. Plus, Izuku was the one who had declared he was going to save the redhead and his childhood friend. Maybe that started with a text. 

Or maybe that's how he loses his hero license. It was honestly a toss-up, one Izuku decided was worth the risk. 

Made it home without dying

There, he thought to himself, short and sweet

He closed out of his messages and opened a random game Uraraka had downloaded onto his phone months ago. Every once in a while, he found himself bored enough to actually play it. 

It couldn't have been more than two minutes later that his device buzzed, and a new notification showed.

I'm pleasantly surprised by that

No offense but you've got to have the worst luck I've ever seen

Izuku chuckled quietly at the absolute understatement the redhead had just made. 

You have no idea

I swear to god I just attract villain attacks at this point

Doesn't that come with the territory tho? 

Seeing as its been that way since high school 

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its me and not my rank

Hot Guy In A Mask~

Oh ya I think I remember hearing about that

Didn't the league have a hard on for you or something?

Or something

It's like 4 am

Shouldn't you be passing out by now?

Do you remember how we first met? 

Sleeping isn't one of my strengths

Ramen?

Are you asking a pro hero out to dinner for the second night in a row?
