The Emerald Prince

Chapter 144: Why don't you do right?

For those of you who read my Haikyuu harem book, this is going to be a bit of a deja vu. I apologise, I didn't intend for this, but in the end it made sense and it results in a ton of flustered 1A boys, so win win!
It's also a good point of conflict for Bakugou and Izuku.

———

"So," began Yaoyorozu uncertainly, "is it over now?"
The whole of class 1A, excepting Izuku who was out with Mei, were lounging in the living room of the Heights Alliance building. It was Thursday night, and the high from getting their licenses had finally vacated leaving them all exhausted.

Kirishima blinked at her confused, "what do you mean?"
She sighed and stretched, "well, All for One is defeated, those quirk erasing drugs and the science behind them was destroyed by Izuku...he is under protection if the government...Endeavour's in jail... Do you think our school year will be... you know..." she seemed faintly embarrassed as she glanced around he group, "normal?"

Ojiro snorted, "normal? You really think...with Izuku in our class, our year's going to be normal?"
Kaminari rose to her defense, "I mean his shitty past has been dealt with...and he's dealt with all of ours too. I don't see what's left."
"Of course you don't dunceface." Muttered Bakugou smirking, Kaminari pouted but was distracted by Kirishima wrapping his arm around his waist.

"There's still love!" Exclaimed Ashido excitedly, "when are you boys gonna pounce?"
Her sharp amber eyes darted between Shinsou and Hiniyuki with stealthily meanders to Bakugou.

Shinsou was lying flat out on a bean bag he stole from Izuku's room, looking a few seconds off unconsciousness. He glared back at her grumpily, "do I look in a pouncing mood?"
Hiniyuki tilted his head, "Pounce? Endeavour said love and combat were similar...but Izuku said I shouldn't trust anything he told me..."
Ashido scowled, "you two are useless! Honestly, Bakubro just quit being self sacrificing and claim him from these idiots!"
Bakugou froze completely at being called out as the eyes of every member of the class looked at him.

"I'm back!"
As one, the group turned slowly to Izuku who was stood kitted out like a ghostbuster, clutching what looked like a mechanical squid. He grinned at them, eyes sparkling.
"IZU-NI!"
Eri materialised from nowhere, racing toward Izuku apparently forgetting she was clutching Kouta's hand and dragging him along with her. The poor boy nearly fell on his face a dozen times as he was dragged over.

Izuku laughed delightedly and picked both of them up, ignoring Kouta's huff of protest.
"Izuku?" Asked Asui, eyebrows raised, "what are you wearing, kero?"
The greenette grinned, giving the kids in his arms each a kiss on the forehead each before returning them to the ground.
"Mei and I have been, well," he looked faintly embarrassed, "experimenting with more dangerous stuff than usual, so this is my new kit!"
"With more dangerous stuff!" Exclaimed Uraraka, "I thought you were already working with the most dangerous stuff!"
The greenette smirked, "now she knows my real quirk...I've been able to contribute a little more toward...inventing more dangerous stuff."
"Oh Gods." Whispered Shouji and Ojiro nodded beside him.

"Anyway, how are you guys doing?" Asked Izuku, hastily.
"Momo was wondering if your have any more plans, or whether the rest of this year is going to be pretty normal?" Said Shinsou without opening his eyes.
Yaoyorozu flushed in embarrassment but Izuku hummed.
"There isn't...well it kinda depends." Izuku counted off on his fingers, "I've a favour to pay back, two quirks to take or copy depending on the users' opinions...and a couple fusions to sort the last issues, and some people I've kept waiting. But nothing that should effect most of you guys."
"Well that..." started Satou.
Uraraka finished dryly, "sounds ominous."
The greenette shrugged, "I'm gonna change, takoyaki for dinner?"

———

Shinsou finished the last question on the maths sheet and levelled his gaze at Izuku, poking the greenette in the back. "Okay, so favour?"
Izuku glanced up from his own work, eyeing the preoccupied teacher warily before turning to reply in a hushed tone. "Well, by taking down the Shie Hassaikai, I lost the local club a lot of patrons. I owe them."
"Wait what?" Hissed Bakugou from in front. So much had happened since then, they'd almost forgotten that had even occured, "what do you owe them?"
Izuku flushed, "a performance...since I'm kinda famous it'll draw enough crowds and advertisement to even the debt."
Shinsou managed to choke on air. Bakugou turned to look fiercely at the board.
"You're going alone?" Muttered Shinsou.
"Oh, no actually, Ochako, Meimei, Mina and Hagakure want to come watch!"
"I'm coming too!" Whispered Kaminari from a few desks across, eyes sparkling.
"Me three!" Added Sero, earning a glare from the teacher.
