Izuku woke up with a pain in his right side. He was laying on the ground, feeling a sting on the right side of his forehead. He put his index finger on his forehead and winced in pain as he immediately pulled it away. He looked at his finger and saw blood. 'What the hell?' He heard breathing that wasn't his own and looked up and saw Uraraka standing over him with her arms crossed. "What is wrong with you? Ugh, why are you so forgetful?" She let out a frustrated sigh when she noticed Izuku's confused expression. She grunted as she grabbed Izuku's phone from his nightstand and threw it on his lap. Then, she stomped over to his closet, looking at his clothes and picking out the ones she liked. She glanced at the greenette only to see him still staring at her. She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Check the time, you damn idiot." Izuku grabbed and unlocked his phone. His eyes widened. "OH MY GOD, IT'S 7:45 pm!! I'M LATE!! I'M SO LATE!!" He screamed as he instantly pulled himself upwards, immediately falling back down on his ass with a thud.

Once Uararaka was happy with her choice of clothing, she threw the outfit over Izuku's head as she walked towards his door and opened it. "Panick later. Just get ready, and don't forget to bandage your forehead. You'll get an infection if you don't cover up your cut." And with that, she shut the door behind her and skipped over to her room.

Izuku scrambled upwards and undressed himself as he threw his wrinkled clothes on his bed, and put on the outfit the brunette picked out for him. He was dressed in some regular light blue jeans, a plain white t-shirt that had the words PLUS ULTRA!! embroidered into it, and a red flannel. He walked over to the end of his room to grab his signature chunky red sneakers and began searching his drawers for some rubbing alcohol and bandages.

After 5 minutes of slight panick, he grabbed his phone and dorm keys, then ran out his room and down the stairs, tripping and falling over his untied shoe laces. "Damn it, Izuku. For once in your life, stop being such a clutz." He quickly tied his shoe laces and continued sprinting downstairs.

Katsuki was leaning against the wall while scrolling through social media, waiting for Izuku. He was wearing skinny black jeans, his signature skull t-shirt, a light blue denim jacket, and a pair of red high top converse. A few minutes had passed and he had grown bored. He looked up to check the time on his phone when he noticed that Izuku was 15 minutes late. It was 7:45 pm and he wasn't down yet. He looked around the living room and noticed that Todoroki and Iida were sitting on the couch, watching TV, so he must still be here 'cause he definitely didn't leave with those two.

He sighed as he looked back at his phone. 'Ok Katsuki, don't freak out. He probably lost track of time. Maybe he's with Round Face? She's not here, so maybe she's with him? Ugh okay, just five more minutes, Katsuki. He'll be down by then, stop freaking out.' Katsuki put his phone in his pocket as he stared at the staircase, waiting and hoping for the greenette to arrive.

Katsuki's arms were crossed, his head now leaning against the wall as he tapped his foot rapidly. 10 minutes had passed and he began to lose hope. He decided to keep on waiting. After a few more minutes, he sighed in defeat as he pulled himself off the wall. He opened the door, planning on going to his parents's house to let off some steam. Just as he was about to step outside, he heard footsteps behind him. "KACCHAN!!" He then heard a yelp and turned around just in time for the male to trip over his legs and fall straight into Katsuki's chest.

Once Izuku found his footing, he pulled himself away from the blonde as he shut his eyes tightly and lowered his head to avoid embarrassment. "OH MY GOD!! KACCHAN, I'M SO SORRY!! I DIDN'T MEAM TO BE LATE!! IT'S JUST THAT I FELL ASLEEP AFTER YOU TOLD ME ABOUT TONIGHT AND URARAKA WOKE ME UP BY SHOVING ME ON THE FLOOR WHICH MADE MY HEAD BLEED, SO I SPENT A FEW EXTRA MINUTES FINDING STUFF TO COVER IT UP, THEN ANOTHER EXTRA MINUTES COVERING IT UP SO IT DOESN'T GET INFECTED. AND THEN, I FELL MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE RUNNING DOWNSTAIRS BECAUSE I DIDN'T TIE MY SHOE LACES PROPERLY. AND I KNOW THAT ISN'T AN EXCUSE, B-" Izuku's muttering got stopped by Katsuki's arm covering his mouth, stopping the greenette from talking any further. Izuku opened his eyes and looked up at the blonde as he then began muttering incoherent sentences.

Katsuki let out a soft chuckle as he removed his hands away from Izuku's mouth and then ruffled his hair to stop him from muttering once again. "Jeez, Deku. Calm down. It's fine, better late than never. Come on, let's go." He nodded his head towards the open door, signaling for Izuku to exit first. He closed the door shut after they both left and began walking, side by side, towards the UA gate.

Izuku kept his head down while he twiddled his thumbs. "I really am sorry, Kacchan. I d-" "I already told you it's fine, nerd. I'm just glad you didn't.ditch me." The blonde muttered out as he looked down at Izuku. "R-Right. So, um, where are we headed?" Izuku looked up the blonde and pushed his hands into the pockets of his flannel. "It's a surprise." Katsuki answered as he looked away before he could blush at the smile he knew Izuku would have.

Just like Katsuki had thought, the corner of Izuku's eyes wrinkled as he smiled, his eyes sparkling as jumped up and down like a little toddler. "I love surprises. Is it a good one?" Izuku's hands were no longer in his pockets, but were now jumping up and down with his body as he continued walking beside the blonde. Katsuki scoffed as he shook his head in disbelief. "Of course it is, you damn nerd. What did you expect?" Izuku let out a nervous laugh as he rubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "Sorry, that was a stupid question to ask." Katsuki ruffled his hand through Izuku's hair once again. "Stop apologizing, nerd. It's fine." "So- I mean, yeah, you're right." He let out another nervous laugh as he slowed down his pace, slightly behind the blonde, to follow him to wherever they were headed.

They've been walking for 40 minutes now, and for the past 30 minutes, Izuku has been skipping while humming songs as Katsuki would glance at him every now and then just to end up blushing at his goofiness. He'd sometimes humm along with Izuku if he knew the song. The rest of the times, he'd just tap his fingers on his phone case, creating a beat with whatever song Izuku was humming.

After a few more minutes of skipping and humming, Katsuki suddenly stopped in front of a tree as Izuku bumped into him and was about to fall down before Katsuki grabbed his arm and pulled Izuku towards him. "Did we arrive?" Izuku's eyes began to sparkle as he looked up at the blonde. Katsuki stared at him for a while before lightly shaking his head and letting go of the greenette's arm. "Not yet, you need to cover your eyes before we walk any further." 'Oh God, that was so cringey. Close your eyes before we walk any further? Ugh, what the fuck is wrong with me?' Izuku stared at the blonde for a moment before nodding his head and shouting out an excited okay as he closed his eyes and grabbed Katsuki's arm. "Lead the way, Kacchan." Katsuki stared at him as a blush crept onto his cheeks. He shook his head, once again, as he grunted and lead the greennette forward.

After about 3 minutes of walking, Katsuki stopped and felt as Izuku's arm was no longer holding on to him. He glanced sideways and saw Izuku jumping up down with a huge smile plastered onto his face. "Kaccan?" He looked to his side, eyes still closed, and raised an eyebrow. Katsuki chuckled and lightly pushed Izuku in front of him. "You can open you eyes now, nerd."
