It wasn't the first time this had happened. Just the first time it had escalated to this point. Over the course of their growing friendship, others in Hope's Peak Academy had not only expressed an obvious dislike for the large biker gang leader but also for his new hardass counterpart. The sneers and whispers had only been growing louder as the two walked across campus together.
"Watch it jackass! One more word outta any of the lot of ya and my fist is going up someone's a-"
"M-Mondo, language please, you know how I feel. Use it at home to your discretion but tone it down when we're at the academy!"
The smaller boy snagged the biker's sleeve and tugged it back. He didn't appreciate the newfound attention as much as he knew Mondo didn't either, but nothing was worth either of them landing themselves in detention for something that clearly could be avoided. Mondo cleared his throat and stepped back from the group of Reserve Course students now walking away and snickering amongst themselves.
"I know Ishi I just have such a hard time lettin people speak 'bout you like that, 'specially cuz it's only cuz you're hangin around with me of all the other damn Ultimates."
He twirled his pointer finger around the loose black hairs at the bottom of his meticulously styled pompadour as a nervous twitch, tugging his own sleeve back from the raven-haired boy. He was gracious that the man cared enough for him to try and calm him in situations like these where his emotions tended to get the better of him.
"Mondo we've talked to you about this, Daiya and I both. Our friendship is nobody else's business. Our other friends approve of us working together and what matters is so do we. I've really been enjoying your company as of lately."
Taka hummed quietly as he grabbed the brunette's sleeve again, but more gently this time as they finished making their way to their home ec class. They took their respective places on opposite sides of the room next to their partners, Taka with Chihiro and Mondo with Leon. Mondo bit the inside of his cheek as he watched Taka tie the pink and ruffled apron over his pristine uniform. The way the garment clung to the smaller boy's frame while also making him look delectably cute made Mondo want to be so much more than close friends. Alas, if they were getting this much backlash for being friends, he couldn't imagine the turmoil that would come from the two of them opening up about being in a relationship if it were to ever come to that. Mondo tore his gaze away from the boy and tried to focus on not screwing up the confection in front of him.
"So when are you and Rule Book gonna fuck?"
Mondo nearly spilled half of the box of sugar into the mixture as he choked on his spit, blushing slightly as the red-headed punk snickered into his hand.
"It's not like that Leon shut it."
He mumbled but he knew the other had seen the blush on his face. He looked back over to see Taka gleaming cheerfully at his creation as Chihiro decorated with finely detailed delicacy. Mondo smiled fondly and placed his own monstrosity in the oven, preparing himself for a failing grade. Not that it would be a surprise to him, the biker had been used to barely skating by for years on end, school work not being something he entirely thought would ever be of use to him or his talent. However, as of late and due to his blossoming friendship, Mondo's grades had begun to raise. The strict man never forced Mondo to do his work, but if they happened to be hanging out while Taka was working on something, Mondo would be reflex also try his best to figure it out. It was a small change but albeit a welcome one, not only from the teachers and Mr. Kirigiri but from Daiya as well.
"Earth to Oowada...the cake is done hotshot, c'mon man it's gonna burn in the-"
"Then you fucking get it! Why the hell do I have to do everything Kuwata?!"
