Diamonds in the Rough *INDEFINITE HIATUS*

Ten Months

"I need the strongest iced coffee you have Sou-chan" Izuku yawned.

"What the hell happened to you??" Hitoshi cried at the sight of his exhausted, baggy eyed friend.

"Training. I was up all night" he mumbled, bouncing up and down to keep himself awake and glancing at his phone for the time. Shinsou shot a suspicious glare at Bakugo, who luckily didn't notice.

"How much sleep did you get last night??" the blonde interrogated while placing his morning order

"Look we can't all have perfect sleep schedules like you Kacchan" he snapped back "If anything, you should be getting after Sou-chan. He looks like he hasn't slept in three days."

"Whoa now!" Hitoshi yelped, sliding their iced coffee's over the counter "As valid as that argument is, let's not drag me into the sleep discussion again"

"He always looks like that" Bakugo answered angrily at the green haired boy before turning to Shinsou "And I swear to god petunia head, if you pulled another three all-nighters in a row again I'm gonna-"

"Yeah, yeah. You'll knock me out and force me to sleep" he sighed, having heard the threat before.

"Shinsou! You're gonna be late for school again!" A voice called out from the back.

"Shit!" he cursed and began untying the blue apron on him "IN A MINUTE!!" he ripped the apron off, balled it up and tossed it under the counter "You guys coming after school?"

"I'll see if I can make it after my anger management classes" Katsuki muttered frustratedly

"Ha!" Izuku cackled "That's right! You have to take those!"

"You're on thin fucking ice Deku" he snarled. Midoriya ignored him, dragging the seething blonde towards the door

"I think I'll stop by while after a 'run' or two!" he called out "Later Sou-chan!"

"Bye Izu-kun! Good riddance blondie!"

"WHAT'D YOU FUCKING SAY?!"

Come on come on Hisoki-sempai~" Midoriya begged "You gotta teach me that wall to wall climbing you did!! Please?~"

"Nope. Knowing you, you'll end up at Toke-san's again." He responded, shaking off the clinging child

"Pleeeeeeeeaaaaseee?~" Izuku pouted. The navy-blue haired boy stood firm. "Fine" Izuku huffed "Guess I'll just have to ask Uta-san then~" he drawled

"Get the fuck over here." Hisoki snapped "Like that prick could do any better than me"

"Yay!!"

"We'll start you off easy" he sighed in defeat "find a space you can climb with by bracing yourself with your legs and arms on like we taught you. Yeah, that's perfect" he said as Midoriya perched with his legs spread out in between the two buildings.

"Okay now what?" he asked.

"Alright, try to push off one leg to the other wall and see how far up you can go" Hisoki ordered and Izuku did as he was told.

"What are you doing?" Hana asked as she sidled up to Hisoki

"Trying to teach this little punk how to wall climb"

"So how's it going so far?" she asked right before there was a yelp and a crash as a green and gray blur fell into a dumpster

"I'm okay!" Izuku piped up, sticking a thumbs up out of the black trash bags

"We're getting there" he sighed

~~~

"Come on!" Bakugo yelled "We have 5 months before the entrance exam!" he angrily sipped the new spicy drink Shinsou had made after Katsuki's years of pestering. "You're all fucking hopeless!"
