~Third Person P.O.V~

*Edited*

*Time Skip: One Month// Two more months until the assignment is due*

"Midoriya? Midoriya. Midoriya!"   

Izuku snapped his head forward, his eyes flickering to Uraraka and everyone else at the table who were looking at him. His mouth twisted into a sheepish smile, tugging at the pieces of hair that stopped at his neck. 

"Sorry guys, were you saying something?" He asked, biting the inside of his cheek.

The muscle in Uraraka's jaw twitched, her eyes zeroing in on the boy in front of her. "What the hell has been up with you lately? Is it because you got partnered with Bakugo and Todoroki?"

He didn't like the way she said their names as if it was some type of disease like it disgusted her- which he had no doubt it did. Still, it took a lot out of him not to strangle her for it. If he was being honest, he doesn't give a shit about his 'Plan'- he doesn't know why most people hate them, nor does he care anymore. If anything this past month has taught him, and from his own personal experiences, don't judge a book by its cover.

Katsuki, for example, he's very tough, loud, and angry on the outside, but no matter how many times he yells at someone- or send them a death glare, all Izuku can see is him laughing at one of his jokes. Or Shoto, quiet, looks incredibly emo, but on the inside...he's a complete softy, at least to Izuku and Katsuki he is.

Even if they did some- horrible, terrible thing...he wouldn't judge them. Who was he to judge someone? 

Hell, if there's one thing Izuku actually cares to understand- it's why is he still sitting with them when he could be sitting with his real friends.

"They're not so bad you know?" Izuku defended, keeping his tone light as a feather.

"Not so bad?! Not. So. Bad?!" Uraraka scoffed, ignoring the protests everyone at the table gave her. "No offense Midoriya but- you haven't been here as long as we have, you haven't known them as long as we have. Most of the kids here have been in the same school with each other since Middle School. You don't know what they're like!" She sneered, catching the attention of half the lunchroom.

Izuku narrowed his eyes, never in his life- has he wanted to punch someone so damn bad.

"She's right, Midoriya. So, either you're with them...or us." Lida said, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

The green-haired boy smiled a fake, honeyed smile. He stood up, slinging his bag over his shoulder, making his way over to his friends' table.

He sat down, in between Shoto and Himiko- everyone gave him perplexed looks but didn't say anything. They continued their conversation, dragging Izuku along into it as if it were the most normal things to do. It felt nice, here instead of over there.

Here, he didn't have to have a filter- he could say some sarcastic shit and everyone would laugh. Despite hiding the fact that he was at an anger management program, he felt like he could be himself...of course with a few restrictions.

But said restrictions were on his terms because he wanted them to be there.

"Okay, not that I'm not happy or anything," Mina started, motioning her spork in Izuku's direction, "But why'd you ditch the 'Bitch squad'?"

Everyone chuckled, but still awaited Izuku's response to the all too serious question.

The freckled teen locked eyes with Shoto, then with Katsuki, "I guess...I just can't believe everything people say about you guys."

--------------------

Izuku laughed as Katsuki did a spot-on imitation of Shoto, the duel-haired boy looking quite unpleased with the whole situation- but the corners of his mouth tugged up into a smile when the other two weren't looking.

Katsuki flopped onto the bed, looking up at Shoto and Izuku from where he laid. "Huh? Now I know how you feel talking to us, Deku."

Shoto let a small laugh break out, earning a smack to the head from Izuku. "Fuck off Kacchan, I'm not that short!" He whined, pouting and leaning back onto the headboard.

They were currently in Izuku's bedroom, it was the middle of the week, their mother's were all at work leaving them there. Izuku had to admit, at first he didn't like the idea of having to spend extra time with the two, but now? He couldn't imagine not hanging out with them.

He may or may not have developed a slight crush on them both in the process.

Katsuki's eyes twinkled in delight, he rolled over so he was lying on his stomach. "Really? How tall are you then?" He challenged, smirking in triumph when Izuku's mouth snapped shut.

"5'5'' Now, I grew like an inch since a few months ago- thank you very much!" Izuku playfully growled, which turned into a yelp of surprise when Katsuki flipped his position- now holding the shorter teen in his lap.

The doorbell rang, signaling Shoto down, they guessed it was the food he ordered prior to them coming upstairs into the room.

Katsuki ran his fingers through Izuku's hair, twirling the curl around his index finger a few times before releasing it- repeating the process for a minute. Izuku turned around, he was straddling the boy now- something that would have made him blush a month ago, but he's gotten used to them. What? He shows a lot of platonic affection- even if he does have a crush on them.

He had planned on chiding him for the short remark earlier but stopped- Katsuki's scarlet pools mesmerizing Izuku, he always did find his eyes pretty. Izuku licked his lips, the blond's gaze flickering to his mouth, his eyes now trained, fixated on them. Before Izuku could comprehend what was happening, his mouth was pulled into a kiss.

It was rough, but that was to be expected by Katsuki, however, it slowly melted into a slow and steady kiss- Katsuki's hands roaming to Izuku's waist. Izuku was the first to pull back, staring at the boy wide-eyed, that's when it finally settled in.

"What the hell Katsuki! You-you're dating Shoto, oh my god-" Izuku scrambled out of the boys grasp.

He paced back and forth, mentally yelling at himself for allowing the kiss to happen. Did he enjoy it? Of course! But it doesn't change the fact that Katsuki has a boyfriend, who he also has a crush on.

Shoto came back up, looking back and forth between an amused Katsuki and a panicked Izuku. "What happened?" He asked, setting the bag of food down on the dresser.

"I kissed him," Katsuki said smugly, knowing Shoto would be pissed- but for a completely different reason.

"Kat! I wanted to kiss him first," Shoto hit his boyfriend's shoulder, "asshole."

Izuku stopped pacing, staring at Shoto as if he'd gone mad. "Um, did I just hear that correctly?" 

Katsuki and Shoto both chuckle at Izuku's perplexity, motioning for him to sit down next to them. Izuku sat, still holding eye-contact with them both.

"We both like you, Izuku."
