Just for the Summer (TodoBakuDeku)

Chapter 9

~Time Skip to about half way through break~

Izuku's POV~

"Kacchan! Give it back!" I yelled as the taller boy held the hoodie I wanted, above his head.

"But this is just so entertaining." He said with a smirk, dodging all of my attempts to get it.

The hoodie in question, was plucked out of his hands by Shoto, who was even taller than him. He handed it to me and earned a hug as a reward. "Thank you Sho!" I said, slipping Kacchan's hoodie on over my head.

"It's literally my hoodie!" Kacchan exclaimed.

"But I really really like it." I said, trying to justify it.

He rolled his eyes at my excuse. "You're so lucky you're cute." He huffed.

"I know!" I said, smiling at him. He ruffled my hair and walked past me to drop himself onto the couch. We were in the common area, not having anything to really do.

"Remember Kacchan, Uraraka's coming to hang out today, so please be nice." I reminded him, walking into the kitchen, trying to find something to eat.

I heard him groan and then footsteps coming to the kitchen. "Why the hell does floaty bitch need to hang out here? She has a house and a family that's actually there, meaning she should be there to." He complained, pushing himself up to sit on the counter.

"Please don't call her that. She's my best friend Kacchan, just try to be a decent human to her, please? For me?" I asked, turning and giving him my best puppy dog eyes.

He pushed my face away from him in annoyance. "Fine! But don't get used to it, it's only for today." He warned me.

I smiled and hugged him, standing in between his legs. He hugged me back and placed his chin on top of my head.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to this." I heard Tokoyami say, walking into the Kitchen.

I pulled away from Kacchan, just enough to see the other student. "Oh, hey Tokoyami!" I greeted.

"Hello Midoriya." He responded politely.

Shoto walked into the kitchen a few seconds later. "Did someone feel left out?" Kacchan teased as he took a seat on the counter next to Kacchan.

Shoto rolled his eyes at Kacchan's question. "No, there just wasn't any reason for me to stay out there by myself." He explained.

Another new development for all of us really. We don't like being separated or left alone for to long. It's worse for Shoto and Kacchan though. Shoto has an irrational fear that we're either going to forget about him or just decide we don't want to deal with him anymore.

Kacchan get's overly paranoid when he's left alone. Shoto and I discovered that a few weeks ago when we left him alone in his dorm for to long. When we got back, he was huddled up in the corner of his room, wrapped up in blankets and shaking. It freaked all of us out and we haven't left him completely alone for more than an hour, since then.

I looked up at Kacchan and smiled the sweetest smile I could manage. "Hey Kacchan?..." I asked, trailing off.

"What'd you want?" He asked me suspiciously.

"Can you make some katsudon? Please?" I asked him, using my puppy dogs eyes again.

He threw his head back and let out a sigh. "Yeah, but owe me, nerd." He said pushing himself of the counter and landing on his feet, right in front of me.

"Thank you Kacchan! You're the bestest!" I said happily. I pushed myself on the counter, taking Kacchan's now empty spot.

Shoto put a hand over his heart. "I'm wounded Izu. Am I not the bestest in your eyes anymore?" He asked me overdramatically.

Kacchan scoffed from the stove as he grabbed a pan. "Of course not, I'm making him food." He pointed out.

I shrugged, not disagreeing with him.

Tokoyami waved at me as he exited the room, seeing as I was the only one who noticed. I waved back. He had been pretty good to live with over the past month and a half. He didn't even bat an eye at our weird relationship. He may say he isn't used to it, but he wasn't judging us for it, which is what was really important, at least in my opinion.

"As much as I hate to ruin your guys' good mood, we kind of need to talk." Shoto said, instantly catching Kacchan and I's attention.

"Well don't stop talking now Icyhot, that would just be a dick move." Kacchan scoffed, using rudeness to hide his anxiety over what Shoto could be meaning.

"So Uraraka is coming today," he started. He looked at us like we should know what he was referring to.

"What about it?" I asked him.

"He wants to know if we're telling her." Kacchan answered for him, keeping his eyes on his cooking. I had seen him make katsudon many times over the month we'd been... good... with each other, and I knew he didn't need that much concentration. He was avoiding eye contact and focusing on something else.

Realization dawned on me after he spoke up. "Oh, well I kind of assumed we would, but if you guys aren't comfortable with it, then we don't have to. It's up to you guys." I said. I obviously wanted to tell my best friend about, whatever it was that we had going on, but I would totally respect their decision, if they didn't want her to know.

"I'd... I'd be okay with her knowing, but maybe wait on telling the rest of the class? I have... stuff I need to sort out at home before everyone finds out about... this." Shoto struggled to explain.

I nodded in understanding. I didn't think Endeavor was the 'supportive parent' type. I was actually a little scared about what would happen if he found out.

I looked over at Kacchan, wanting to know his thoughts about everything. He seemed even more uncomfortable with it than Shoto did, which really made me worry.

Personally, I was already out to my mom, and she was really the only person who's opinion mattered to me, besides Shoto and Kacchan of course. But something was telling me there weren't judging me for being gay.

"Yeah, same as Shoto. I have shit at home to... figure out."

Shoto and I exchanged a worried look. We were both more than aware of Kacchan and his parents rocky relationship. We had been avoiding the talk about parent's reactions to, whatever it is we were at that point, so neither of us had any idea how Kacchan thought his parents would take it.

But from that, I didn't think it'd be good.
