Change of Plans

~ 4 ~

Shoto stood there now covered in coffee feeling it start sticking against his chest.

He wasn't mad but annoyed still having this morning headache beside that Sana was acting up far worse than the other times she would. She even tried getting her brother to join along hoping that would help but failed and the small boy ended up crying. His foot stayed down not letting Sana's behavior win. Dropping off the twins at daycare was even a hassle but he would rather forget that especially the stares.

" I said no! I want to go work with you" Sana yelled holding onto his pant leg while Shoto tried pulling her off.

With red face Shoto pulled her off his leg, holding her out "Sana" he sighed trying to figure a way to calm her. He hated it but he promised at his lunch break he would let the twins join him at work this quickly grabbed her attention. Her smile soon grew wide, nodding her head.

The twins didn't fully understand time yet so around some time later they will sure forget about the promise.

He clutched his bag strap keeping his cool down while he listened to the guy in front of him frantically apologizing for bumping into him.

"I'm sorry! I...I'll pay for dry cleaning! Or..or maybe a new shirt? " Deku panicked, stumbling with his words once more.

Shoto sighs letting his grip loose just walking past him "no thanks"

Deku stood there thinking for sure he hated him now. That's one way to meet someone.

Ochaco, still a little shocked at what had happened, held her hands out, stopping Shoto from walking any farther "you can't work in that." She had a little lightbulb glow in her head "I'll take over your shift until your back."

"I don't mind it" walking past her only having her rushing right back in front of him stopping him once more. Shoto sighed not wanting to start an argument "fine i'll go change"

"Why not let Deku drive you?" she asked, having a little smile as she walked over to Deku placing hands down on his shoulders.

The two males looked at her with confused looks on their face "huh?"

"Ochaco I don't think-"

"This is the friend you've been mentioning isn't it?" Shoto said glaring at the two. Should have known by now his coworker doesn't give up that easily "was this your plan this whole time?"

With a panicked tone Deku replied back to Shoto "No! I came on my own! I had to pick up some muffins and drinks..." didn't want his friend to get in anymore trouble even if it was their plan. He rather take all the blame than making work for everyone worse.

"I don't mind really" Deku said, giving Shoto a small smile. He heard another sigh Shoto had given up.

"Fine but i'm done playing games" walking out of the cafe.

Deku nods shaking at what he got himself into. He turned back to Ochaco who had thumbs up silently cheering him on. This was her plan for sure. It had to be. He can't back out now "Ochaco I didn't want to meet him like this. He probably hates me."

His friend gave him a pat on the shoulder, pushing him on his way out of the cafe "he doesn't I promise Deku."

Deku turned back having the bag of muffins he dropped pushed into his chest and the door shut in his face. Both Ochaco and Deki gave him a thumbs up.

He turned around looking around the parking lot for Shoto quickly spotting the two toned hair by a silver car parked in the employees spot "let's take mine" he suggested, pointing over to his car over down a few cars from where they were standing.

There was a small hesitation from shoto but he quickly agreed "alright your car it is."

The two had climbed in sitting in a little silence before they went to Shoto's apartment. Deku held his hand out "my name Izuku Midorya but Deku is fine."

"Shoto" shaking his hand back.

The drive to the apartment was rather silent only speaking for the directions. The both of them didn't really know how to start a conversation without it being awkward. Deku was trying not to freak out about having a hot guy in his car. He was a little flustered while Shoto made sure he didn't ruin anything in the car.

"I'm sorry" Shoto spoke up, cutting their silence.

"Huh?" Deku asked giving Shoto a little glance than it right back to the road "I should be the one sorry"

Shoto shook his head "I'm making you late for your work"

Deku smiled giving off a small laugh "I think Kirishima can handle the kids on his own."

There was only a small nod as Shoto looked back out the window hearing his laugh had hit him somehow. It made him comfortable. He couldn't explain it but he suddenly had a warm feeling. He even had a little smile appear.

He did start to wonder what Deku worked after the mention of kids. So maybe a school or is he a babysitter. He couldn't help his curiosity bluntly asking what he means by working with kids "kids...So like a school?"

"Well..it's something like that I suppose"

Shoto gave a small nod keeping to himself after that making things go back to a silent awkward.

When they made it to the apartment building Shoto invited Deku in knowing it wouldn't take long but wanted to give the green haired male another shirt. He showed him the way walking up a few flights of stairs until they made it on fifth floor.

Shoto unlocked the door and walked in already started to unbutton his shirt as he turned down the hall where his room would be. "You could wait in the living room" walking off to the bathroom first needing to try and get some of the stain out before it fully dried.

"Oh alright" Deku mumbled, slipping his shoes off noticing the extra pairs of kid shoes by the door. He thought it was odd thinking Shoto had lived alone but didn't question it. He sighed, stretching out his arms walking down the little hall shoto walked straight into the little living room that was right by the kitchen. From where he was standing he noticed a few toys neatly away and papers on the fridge. He walked over to the couch only to do a 180 going over to the fridge. He was getting curious. He noticed a few drawings looked rather familiar.

After a few times trying shoto tried getting coffee out of his shirt holding it up seeing it still not as noticable anymore which was what he was going for. He hung the shirt over the tub then went to clean his chest and stomach getting the stickiness off of him than to his room getting another shirt out. He slipped it on, going through his drawers going all the way to the bottom pulling out a shirt he wouldn't mind losing.

He walked out going over to the living room "here change into this" tossing the shirt to Deku who was sitting on the edge of the couch making him fully fall after tossing the shirt to him.
