For the second time that day, Izuku was awoken by a shake to his shoulder. He looked up into Kirishima's eyes, "afternoon sleeping angel," Kirishima snickered, gesturing to the boys wings, "you get it, cause you have giant wings and your personality is-" Izuku cut him off, "yes Kiri, I get the joke." It was only now that the greenette noticed the tv off to the left, "why am I out here, wasn't I in my room?" He turned his head to Kirishima, who had an evil smirk plastered in his face, "Todobroski was worried about you, he moved you to the couch so he could keep an eye on you." Izuku nodded, he'd gotten used to kirishma's way of talking, which wasn't too different than Kaminari's, giving a tired smile before sitting up, rubbing his eyes, hoping to adjust to the bright light of the afternoon sun.

"How are you feeling?" Izuku turned his head to face the dual coloured boy, "much better, thank you," Todoroki gave a subtle smile, even if it was for a few seconds, it made Izuku feel special. He sat up, planting his feet firmly on the carpeted floor, looking up at Kirishima, "was there a specific reason you woke me up?" Izuku asked, Kirishima pondered the question, as if he'd forgotten something that he was supposed to tell the shorter boy. "Oh right," Kirishima chirped, "Denki wanted to start a band, he wanted to know if you'd join!" The red head smiled from ear to ear, radiating in excitement, "that should be fine, though I need to improve my confidence before I sing in front of strangers," midoriya paused for a few moments, his mind swirling with thoughts, he hoped this would improve their bonds as not only roommates, but as friends aswell. "You're the manliest bro, we can help out with your stage fright, I'll tell Denki you're up for it, he left earlier this morning, you were still asleep," Kirishima skipped into the spare room, either going in there to practice, or to contact Denki.

"Kirishima hasn't played his instrument in front of anyone other than us before, to say he's excited would be an understatement," Shinso sat down on top of Izuku's legs, not waiting for them to move. "Why did you sit on my legs?" The taller male looked down at the smaller, smirking, "oh, sorry, I didn't see you there." 'That little' Shinso jumped up, as soon as he moved, Izuku ran after him, following the purple haired boy into the spare room. "Take that back," Izuku huffed, he hated when people made jokes about his height. "I can't help the fact I was born short, don't be a bully!" Izuku whined, stomping his foot lightly, like a closed off angry child. Izuku was trying his best to act angry, but his attempts were futile as Shinso and Kirishima burst into laughter.

Todoroki was standing by the door, a small smile played at his lips, "you're too nice to act angry mido," Kirishima mused, crouching down in front the the greenette, as if their height difference were huge. "Now you're just exaggerating, stop it!" Izuku grumbled to himself, leaving the room, not before asking Todoroki to 'move please,' the group could hear as Izuku gently slammed his door in frustration, causing Bakugo to storm out of his room in a fit of rage. "What the fuck was that, are you trying to act angry!?" Bakugo screeched accusingly. The three teens that were left in the spare room sighed, they were about to get another noise complaint from their apartment neighbours, they hoped their neighbours would get used to it soon. "You have to slam the door like this!" Bakugo proceeded to slam the door as loud as he could, they were all surprised the door didn't break upon impact.

The rest of the day was spent listening to Bakugo attempt to teach the innocent boy how to be angered, Izuku was hopeless at being angry, especially to people he saw and respected as friends. "So like this?" He muttered, once again gently slamming the door, "what the actual fuck!? Are you actually trying here, you're supposed to feel engulfed in anger, pure rage should flow through your entire being!" Bakugo continued to slam the door, making literally no progress with the terrified, green haired teen.
