"can't believe you got that old fart to actually let you in. like no offense but he doesn't let just anyone in. so you must be the real deal," the blonde stated nonchalantly behind the booth.

izuku grimaced at the phrase. he remembers the blonde bombshell saying those exact words.

"I mean, I guess?" izuku rubbed his neck nervously.

"well, do ya' wanna test that theory? got any songs you want to play for us?" the man asked. he had a smirk on his face. he really wanted to test this boy. he seemed too soft for the industry, surely to get overwhelmed with the scene.

"yeah, come on. play something for us," the girl smiled. she had purple hair and face tattoos that made her look softer than what she was hoping for. she always had a pair of earphones in and a beanie.

"sure? what genre?" the smaller boy asked while he stood up.

"what're we talking about? the happy vibe?"

he made his way to the booth on the other side of the wall. he sat on the stool and started to swindle with the strings.

"I wrote this one awhile ago but here goes nothing."

"I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car.
he's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel, the other on my heart.
I look around, turn the radio down, and he says, "baby is something wrong?"
I say "nothing, I was just thinking how we don't have a song, " and he says," izuku voice sung out. the lyrics fit his voice well.

"our song is a slamming screen door,
sneaking out late tapping on your window. when we're on the phone and you talk real slow, 'cause it's late and my mama don't know.
our song is the way you laugh, the first date man I didn't kiss him when I should have. and when I got home, before I said amen, asking god if he could play it again," izuku smiled at his guitar. the memories flooded in of he and kacchan talking late and acting like their parents hadn't known of their odd relationship. they both knew that inko would not have been okay with katsuki rubbing off on her izubaby.

"I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day, had gone all wrong, had been trampled on and lost and thrown away. got to the hallway well on my way to my lovin' bed, I almost didn't notice all the roses, and the note that said," they felt their hearts swelling from the sweet notions the greenette found himself getting. even deku knew it was for his Instagram, just to look like a good boyfriend to his fans.

"our song is a slamming screen door, sneaking out late tapping on your window. when we're on the phone and you talk real slow, 'cause it's late and my mama don't know. our song is the way you laugh, the first date man I didn't kiss him when I should have. and when I got home, before I said amen, asking god if he could play it again," izuku could remember their first date. even if they were just twelve, katsuki still was a softy at heart. he took izuku to a comic store and bought izuku two hero action figures and a comic. after he took him to get a slice of pizza at the hub, he dragged him to the arcade.

izuku had never laughed more that night.

"I've heard every album, listened to the radio, waiting for something to come along, that was as good as our song," he knew that no matter where he looked, izuku always found katsuki in everything. and he'd always be his first love. and he figured that he'd never find anyone quite like katsuki.

"cause our song is a slamming screen door, sneaking out late tapping on your window. when we're on the phone, and he talks real slow, 'cause it's late and my mama doesn't know. our song is the way he laughs.
On the first date man, I didn't kiss him when I should have. and when I got home, before I said amen,
asking god if he could play it again," izuku kept singing his heart out. tears trickled down his cheek.

"I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car.
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
and I wrote down our song," izuku sang the last lyric out. his voice was incredible.

the two sat with their mouths wide open.

"I told you guys he was something else," a voice rang out.

jirou shut her mouth and push denki jaw up just for it to fall again.

"you weren't wrong. I just didn't realize you were this right. like damn. yagi really hit the jackpot with this one," jirou smirked. she clicked a button to end the recording. they felt it was good luck to record their first time in the booth.

it was always something the fans appreciated seeing later on.

izuku stepped out to greet the three.

"oh hey, uh todoroki. right?" izuku asks, sending a quick wave to him.

before shoto got the chance to reply, denki interjected. "oh my god. you're awesome kid. how did no one scout you?"

"toshinori did. why do you think he's here?" todoroki said in a monotone voice.

the other three deadpanned. izuku's words the other day might need to be changed to, 'nice and dense.'

"uh- I think he meant, like other than mr. yagi, todoroki," izuku said timidly, not wanting to upset the taller man.

"Oh, my mistake," todoroki shrugged.

izuku kind of froze. he was so used to getting scolded almost every time he corrected katsuki.

the man before him just understood what he meant and shrugged it off.

"you good man? you're staring holes into todoroki," kaminari asked worriedly.

"oh yeah. sorry," izuku coughed.

"It's okay midoriya. don't worry about it," todoroki grinned at him.

izuku smiled back.

"d-did todoroki just smile? the colder than ice todoroki just smile?" the blonde asked, faking the shock. he looked at jirou surprised.

"do you think izuku melted his heart? quite literally," jiro bumped elbows with denki.

"I don't know, do you think todoroki has it in him to actually start something with the piece of broccoli?"

"first day and you're already getting paired up with someone, huh," todoroki joked, looking to izuku.

"i-i guess-," izuku looks down blushing.

todoroki leans in close to izuku's ear, breathing lightly on his neck.

"well, I'm glad it was me," he said, his voice suddenly turning husky and masculine-like.

he leans back and waves at the frozen two and winks at the greenette, making izuku join in on what looked like the ice age from on-goers.
