The Music in Us

Chapter Thirty-Three

Todo's POV

The bell finally rings for the end of first period, so I quickly pack my things up and head on to my next class.

However, I don't make it far because a certain green headed broccoli boy decides to jump on me and take me down to the floor!

...

Not fun.

"Izu... what the fuck?"

He looks behind him in a panicked way then looks at me. "You have to help me!"

He gets up and pulls me up, and he's about to run when a teacher comes over.

I don't even know his name. I've never seen him in my life, and I don't care to know.

"What were you boys just doing?"

We look at him, and Izu seems tense, while I just shrug. "Being boys."

Izu hits me on the arm. "That's no excuse. It's a very misogynistic way of thinking, Shoto."

I look at him with wide eyes telling him to be quiet.

I know that! But this is an old, clearly, white man in front of us... Of course he's going to (hopefully) think like that!

He chuckles and shakes his head amusedly. "Boys will be boys. Just make sure to get to class on time."

He walks away, and Izu hits me again. "What was that for?"

He shakes his head. "You said some very wrong things."

I sigh. "It was that or get in trouble, and I really don't want to get in trouble. Besides, it's not like I actually believe the things I said."

He huffs. "Still..."

"Oh, Izuku~"

He tenses up and looks behind him.

I look over him to see Momo and Ura looking crazy while they smirk evilly.

He grabs my hand and starts to back away. "Gotta go to class now... bye!"

He sprints away, and I just let him drag me, even though my class is the other way.

He stops at a bathroom and goes in, still continuing to drag me around. He let's go if my hand and sighs from relief.

"What the fuck was that for?"

He chuckles. "I kinda let spill that we talked about something serious, and they wanna know what, but I didn't want to tell them without asking you first."

"What serious topic?"

He snorts. "Kacchan."

"Oh, right." I chuckle. "Kinda thought I imagined all that happening."

He laughs. "Nope. But now we should decide if we're gonna tell everyone."

I shrug. "I don't really care, honestly. Shin already knows though."

He furrows his brows. "How?"

"I told him, because I was having a hard time about it, and I didn't want to go to my brother and bother him about him more than I already have, and he has a lot going on, so I didn't want to pile on that. So... I went to Shin."
