Hanahaki

Chapter 21

Izuku's pov

I can't believe Kacchan would do something like that. I know he and Todoroki don't get along well, but attacking him like that? It was uncalled for.

I watch as Todoroki goes over to Shinso and they talk for a good while before he retreats back to my side.

"What was that about?"

"My talk with Shinso or the thing with Bakugo?"

"An explanation for the second one is preferred but I'd also like to know what you and Shinso were talking about, if you don't mind?"

He looked at me and smiled while reaching past me for a marshmallow. He roasted it in his hand before eating it and looking back at me.

"Bakugo was asking what was going on with you. Don't worry, I didn't tell him. But...the next time you have an episode like that, he's finding out. Whether that's from you or me, is up to you."

I nod my head. "I'm sorry. I just...I didn't think the game would last that long. Thanks for getting the pills for me."

"Don't worry about it, I was already here anyways." He shrugs and looks away. "I asked Shinso to bring a few extra items with him when he came tonight."

"...and?"

"He brought them."

I quirk my eyebrow at him and cross my arms. "What great elaboration skills you have. What did you ask him to bring?"

"On your list it said you wanted to get drunk and have someone record it. So I asked him to bring enough alcohol for everyone to get wasted and a video camera."

...he what?!?!

I'm fucking speechless. I don't know what to do. How does he even remember that? He saw the list like 2 or 3 weeks ago?

"I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?"

"No no, it's just...how did you remember that?"

"I have an eidetic memory." He shrugs his shoulders before chuckling with an amused smirk, "Something you can add to your hero notes I suppose."

I launch myself at him and squeeze him in a tight hug. I whisper, "Thank you," and squeeze him tighter. At first he was reluctant, then he started hugging me back.

We both slowly pull back and I'm 100% positive I have some stupid grin on my face. He smiled back at me though, that's what matters.

His smile is really beautiful. He should really consider doing it more.

I was about to tell him such but was interrupted by Kaminari's cheerful shout saying, "Let's play truth or dare!"

The girls squealed and we all sat around the medium sized fire. Shinso and Kaminari passed out the alcohol (they handed me a whole fucking case! How much alcohol does it take to get drunk?!?).

Shinso handed the video recorder to Todoroki who blushed a little at something Shinso said and then nodded.

He started recording and set up the camera close enough to be able to see and hear everyone.

When he came back he opened up one of the Corona's for me and clinked our bottles together before he took a sip.

I took a small sip and felt the warm liquid travel down my throat and settle in my stomach. It heated my ears up a little as well. The taste wasn't something I was used to, but I could definitely get used to it.

I smiled at Todoroki as we started the game of truth or dare.

We decided that since Shinso brought the alcohol that he would go first and whoever he asked would go next.
