-feel free to listen to the music while you read-

"Will you two shut the fuck up!" Shinso screeched for the fourth time that car ride, "Izuku just got let out of the hospital, don't give him a fucking headache assholes!" Shinso turned the corner, trying to shut Kaminari and Bakugo up so he could drive. Izuku smirked, guilt tripping was surprisingly easy with his new found friends, "guys... my heads kinda hurting, could we turn it down a little?" All ear splitting noise dissipated into thin air, leaving library voice conversations as Izuku rested his head on the passenger seat. "Hey Shinso, why did you bring everyone?" The insomniac sighed, waving his free hand around, "I was too tir- I didn't want to fight with them, so I let them come," he caught himself before he revealed his sleepiness. He didn't feel like eating a shoe that morning.

"If you say so," Kirishima chuckled from the middle back seat, in between the quietly arguing teens. "Ahem, I do, I do say so!" He cleared his throat, glancing at the green haired boy, only now noticing his sleeping state. "He doesn't remember much from when he was drugged, so he doesn't know about me barely getting sleep, don't mention it," Shinso tried to reason, before an evil smirk appeared on Bakugo's face. "HEY DEKU!" He yelled, effectively waking the smaller boy, "yeah Kacchan?" Shinso sweat dropped as Bakugo continued, "Shinso, Kirishima and Kaminari haven't been getting much sleep lately-" "HEY, neither have you!" Kaminari retorted, crossing his arms defensively. "Midoriya, I was the only one who remained on the usual sleep schedule," Todoroki informed, "as well as Lumine," Izuku frowned, gazing at the group, picking up the unusual slouch from Kiri, and the dampened energy from Kaminari. He saw the way Bakugo's threats felt more empty and slow. "Ok," Izuku replied coolly, trying to keep an unreadable expression as the banter silenced. "...ok..." Kirishima continued wearily, sending a worried look to the green haired male. "I'll deal with it when we get back."

When the group reached the apartment, it had only just reached afternoon. Izuku went to the kitchen, fetching a few pans and utensils, placing them neatly on the counter, he turned around to get the ingredients needed to make an energy filled lunch. But instead of reaching the shelf, he slammed right into someone, looking up to meet bring yellow eyes. "Hey Midoriya~," Kaminari teased, wrapping his arms around the shorter's waist, "look at you falling into my arms," Izuku sighed, trying to back out of the electric users grasp, proving unsuccessful. "I need to make lunch, let me go," Izuku whined, "please." Kaminari chuckled, booping Izuku's nose before backing away to let the boy move. "Shouldn't you be resting, those eye bags are bigger than usual," Shinso accused, taking a carton of eggs from the slightly flustered boy, "like you can talk, your usual eye bags pale in comparison to whatever the heck those are," Izuku spat, looking into the insomniacs eyes. "Well I didn't just get out of a hospital, now did I?" Shinso tried to argue, "mhm, and I haven't been working on our bands first song day and night, now have I?" Izuku smirked at the defeated frown the taller had. "I'll sleep more than an hour tonight, just sit down and relax," Izuku suddenly froze, slowly turning to face the purple haired boy, a look of utter shock painted on his face. "I'm sorry, how many hours did you get again?" Shinso directed his attention to the kitchen tiles, never once opening his mouth to speak.

"Guys, let's make up for the lost sleep tonight, we can't sleep in the middle of the day, that's just uncomfortable, even if it is cold," Kirishima started to push the three teens out of the kitchen, grabbing the eggs from Shinso before sitting them done on the couch. "How about you tell Mido about how the songs going!" He chirped, whisking away to the kitchen to finish lunch before Izuku got any angrier. The last thing he wanted was Shinso strapped to a bed and forced to sleep, wether the short boy just left him there, or if he forced sleeping pills down his throat, Izuku would find a way and prove it successful.

Btw, has anyone realised what WKMI stands for. When you find out, it's gonna be so dumb, I came up with it on the spot, so I didn't have any future plans to tell you all what it stands for. But if someone can guess, or at least get close, then I'll mention it somewhere in the story, I guess.
