Holes and Misfits (BakuDeku)

Chapter 3

Izuku woke to a loud ringing that seemed to echo and bounce around in his head and he groaned. He hated the morning bell. Everyone did. It was purposefully painful, and after hearing it there was no way you could fall back asleep.

"Up." Dabi said plainly as he walked through the door, hands in his pockets. "You know the routine. Brush your teeth, 5 minute shower and wait outside the room. If I get here and you're not ready, you get punished."

He looked between the four of them before leaving with a blank expression. "Okay! Everyone up!" Iida said loudly and even though they were still tired and exhausted they obeyed and stood up.

The whole day they were at some field testing this new cream. It's supposed to prevent sunburn and keep bugs away at the same time it's drying up your sweat. The orphanage made them all shave their legs that way the cream would be on more skin.

The cream DEFINITELY didn't work. It burned their legs and made them produce even  more sweat that just made it sting even more. Now as they started getting back on the bus their legs were scorched and sun burnt. Not even including how sore they were from all of the running and working out.

Izuku didn't run much because of his lungs, but he didn't get off easy. He was lifting weights and doing other physical activities that killed every bone in his body.

Izuku stood in line waiting to board the bus. He leaned his head back, enjoying the last decaying light of the sunset. "Hurry the fuck up! We have to get back on time or boss is gonna have my ass and I'm going to beat the shit out of all of you!"

Izuku rolled his eyes. He knew Shigaraki wasn't one to give empty threats, but they were always over something so stupid. As he inched closer to the front of the bus Dabi handcuffed him to his partner Todoroki, whose other hand was handcuffed to Iida. Great. He had to sit in a hot bus with not one, but TWO sweaty boys. Just amazing. And with the way they were handcuffed, he knew he was going to have to sit by the window.

The three of them found a seat, and he was right, he had to be cramped and squished against the window. Izuku was too occupied trying to control his breathing, he didn't even notice Todoroki's blush as their hands brushed against each other.

The bus started moving and Izuku stared blankly out the window, eyes wide with curiosity. The orphans at the orphanage never got out. They never got to see Japan. There were no windows there either. They couldn't risk someone trying to leave. 

After a couple minutes the bus pulled to a sharp halt and Shigaraki fell forwards. Izuku's eyes widened as he tried to hide his laughs by biting his lip.

Shigaraki stood back up with a groan as he dusted off his knees. "What the hell!?" He yelled to the driver who looked over his shoulder with a panicked expression.

No one was stupid enough to get on Shigaraki's bad side, and if you were, you wouldn't live very long. That was known by everyone who was either in or worked for the orphanage. His body count probably looked like a phone number. But he didn't sympathize for any of the souls he took. He walked around as if there was no blood on his hands (or his shoes).

That was why Izuku felt bad for the driver. He had made Shigaraki dirty his new jeans. No matter the reason, the outcome was going to be bad for whoever got in the way. He sunk in his seat, praying that it wouldn't be him.

He noticed Todoroki holding back his own laughter and Iida staring into space with a stern face. He scooted over as much as he could but was still pressed against the window. He groaned lowly which caught the attention of Todo. "You alright?" He whispered, only loud enough for the two of them to hear.
