Merry Christmas readers, my gift this year will be over 6K words of 2 chapters in 1 day!

I think I'll update how I refer to the Susanoo modes of Sasuke. Ribcage will still be ribcage, but the upper body that's just flesh and muscle will be v2 Susanoo and the Armored Susanoo will be v3 Susanoo.

All the students once again reunited back at UA in the lounge area. Their voices overlapped one another as they bombarded the students who participated in the raid with questions.

"Is everyone OK?"

"We saw the raid on the news!"

"That looked like some nasty business!"

Iida got between them and everyone else, "Yes, yes, they all know we were worried about them! But calm down! We all saw the broadcast and the extent of what happened! As their classmates, we should give them time to rest their weary spirits!"

Tokoyami thought, 'It's a blessing that what happened at the Edgeshot agency stayed under the radar...'

Midoriya raised a hand, "Hey, Iida, thanks but... I'm fine."

They maintained eye contact until Iida said, "If you're sure." Iida's mood swapped instantly, "I WAS SOOO WORRIED ABOUT YOU GUYS!"

Sero said, "You're worse than the rest of us."

Momo went to make lavender tea, and with that, most of the students dispersed.

Sasuke approached Midoriya, "Midoriya."

Midoriya replied, "Sasuke! Hey."

"Did you ever achieve 20%?"

He nodded, "Yeah, good thing, too. Things got messy back there, but it all worked out. Have you learned anything new?"

Sasuke thought about his brother's quirk that now resided within him. "It's complicated. I have something, but I can't use it as I am now."

Midoriya scrunched his brow, "Uh... alright? That's good... I think."

Sasuke recalled the fear-mongering Danzo implanted in him about Midoriya, and his eyes turned into their pinwheel pattern. "Midoriya, hold still for a minute."

He put his hand on Midoriya's shoulder and he straightened up, "Huh?... Ok."

Sasuke focused on his aura while Midoriya had an oblivious smile, 'What's he doing? Is his quirk active? Is there a spider on me?'

Sasuke observed the clear green aura that danced around Midoriya. It wasn't sickly, like Danzo's, but serene and calm.

Some students like Hagekure noticed the silent close-up staring between the two and she cupped her cheeks, "Is this... BL?!"

Mineta chipped in, "Does that mean Mina is free now?!"

Sasuke smirked, not noticing their banter, and separated, 'He's fine, it doesn't seem like he has a shortened life span. Could it be because he never had a quirk? I suppose it doesn't matter.' Sasuke spoke up, "You're good, that's all."

Midoriya blinked, "Huh?"

Kaminari stood nearby snickering, "I understand now, Sasuke..."

Sasuke side-eyed him, "What?"

Kaminari looked up at him, "I get why you haven't done anything with Mina yet; Midoriya piques your interest, huh? It's cool."

Sasuke took his hands out of his pockets, "What the hell are you talking about?"

Hagakure raised her hands, "Hey, if you want us to keep it a secret, then we can!"

"There's nothing to keep a secret, idiot. I was... checking his aura."
