Worlds Apart

New Friends

Shouto flopped on his bed with a sigh, he was pretty tired the tests weren't hard but he was mentally exhausted, Katsuki kept going at Izuku but it was nice that Izuku had finally made some friends and the weight of having to tell Tomura everything was tiring, he didn't like having to train to become a hero, all the rules and regulations annoyed him, vigilantism or villainy was much more fun in his opinion.

Tomura walked into the room "Hey Shou, you look exhausted, you've had a big day haven't you." He sat down on the bed pulling on his special gloves and stroked the boys hair just like his sister used to do.

"Sensei is really proud of you." He continued "They don't suspect a thing and you got second in the results, I'm beyond proud."

Shouto hummed happily "Yeah, I tried my best, I wanted to make you and Sensei proud Tomu-nii." He mumbled leaning into Tomura's hand.

Tomura smiled and stood up "Sleep, you have more work to do tomorrow and you need the rest."

The boy mumbled an agreement and quickly drifted off to sleep breathing softly.

"He fell asleep on top of the bed." Tomura mumbled to himself and chuckled, he pulled the sheets out from under Shouto and tucked him in gently.

Shouto's dreams flickered across his mind, a myriad of colours and voices, they were over as quick as they appeared.

Hours later Kurogiri walked in to Shouto's room to wake him up "Hey Shouto, its time to wake up kiddo." He murmured and gently shook the boy awake.

"Hnn? Is it mornin' already?" Shouto mumbled rubbing his eyes.

"Yes it is, you need to get ready for school, it starts in a few hours and if you want to get in some training time you have to wake up now."

Shouto sat up and stretched yawning "Yeah okay."

He got in a few hours of training before getting ready for school.

He pulled on his uniform and got all of the essentials ready

Soon he was on his way to school, he caught up with Katsuki who was walking along in front.

"Took you long enough." The boy growled and Shouto smiled.

"Sorry I was training and I got a bit distracted." He apologized

"Whatever."

"I wonder what we're going to do in school today? Training? Or something else?"

"I don't fucking know."

"You're such a killjoy Katsu!"

"Well fucking sorry."

They bickered good naturedly for a while before they reached the school entrance.

"Shoucchan! Kacchan! Good morning!" A voice rang out, Izuku was standing at the entrance enthusiastically waving to them.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP NERD!" Katsuki roared.

"Hello Icchan." Shouto said and waved back

Izuku grabbed Shouto by the wrist "I want to introduce you to my friends!"

Shouto blinked "Ah okay."

Katsuki seethed "DON'T FUCKING GRAB HIM LIKE THAT! DON'T FUCKING TOUCH HIM!" To every passerby is was obvious that the explosive boy was jealous, but to Izuku and Shouto it wasn't so obvious.

"I can if I want to Kacchan! He's my friend too!" Izuku replied and pulled Shouto to where his friends were.

The explosive blonde yelled curses and insults at the green haired boy, shoving his hands angrily in his pockets and stomping into the school.

"You know you really shouldn't upset him like that..." Shouto mumbled.

"I know but I want you to meet my new friends! I know you don't like Iida-kun much because of what he said in the briefing but he's really nice! Honest!"

"I don't know Icchan...he was pretty mean..."

"He apologized and we made up! So it's fine!"

"Okay that's fair I guess, I'll meet them."

"Yay!"

Izuku pulled Shouto to where his friends were.

"Uraraka-san! Iida-kun! Shinsou-kun! This is my best friend Shouto Shigamura!"

Shouto bowed "It's nice to meet you three."

They bowed as well "Nice to meet you too." They chorused.

One of them the purple haired one seemed a little cautious of Shouto, staring at him in a judging way.

Shouto stared right back not cowering under the boys gaze then flicked his eyes to Izuku and back to the by in a suggestive way, he raised an eyebrow in question as if to ask if he was correct.

Shinsou went bright red "Maybe, butt out." He muttered and Shouto laughed.

"Don't worry I'm not interested in him like that, we're just friends."

Shinsou breathed out a sigh of relief "Oh thank god, you must like sparky boom boom anger boy right?"

Izuku, Shouto and Izuku's friends started wheezing with laughter over Shinsou's description of Katsuki.

Shouto rested against a tree holding his stomach "Oh oh my god! Ha! Fucking sparky boom boom anger boy!" He wiped a tear from his eyes "Hh I hate how that's so accurate."

Shinsou blinked at them before laughing himself.

After a few minutes they all calmed down.

"So, are you going to join the DekuSquad?" Shinsou asked.

"Hmm, I would but Katsuki would Katsu-kill me if I did." Shouto replied.

Izuku whined in disappointment "Kacchans going to try and keep you all to himself just because he thinks that living closer to someone is a sign that you can have them more than other people."

"Or maybe he has a cruuush." Uraraka chimed in.

"That is highly possible!" Iida agreed.

Shouto sputtered "Pff no! As if! Have you seen they way he acts? I can just control him better than most people is all..."

Shinsou smirked "You totally like him too! Maybe I should tell him?"

"Tell him and I'll tell your crush, better not to cross me buddy."

The two of them had another staring contest before bursting out laughing.

Izuku looked a little jealous at how well they were interacting,

"How can you make friends so easily Shoucchan? It's not faaair." He whined.

Shouto just pat his head "I'm just not an awkward fuck is all."

Izuku pouted "Shoucchannnn."

"Yeah yeah sorry." He pat the boys head and went to say something before the bell rang "Oh we better get to homeroom."

The others agreed and walked to where their homeroom was.
