Midoriya's POV

Damnit.

How am I supposed to react to Kacchan apologizing to me? He's never been that kind to me before and it's got my heart fluttering.

That's bad. That's really, really bad. What if I start liking Kacchan and he's dating Kirishima?

But Kirishima is also really sweet and when he asked me to walk to breakfast with them and go to the mall my heartbeat quickened.

What am I supposed to do with these feelings?! Their dating each other for crying out loud!

I can't like them, let alone both of them! That's not even possible!

What's wrong with me?! I know I'm bi and everything, but this is too much!

I can't have feelings for either of them. It's just that Kacchan's attitude towards me changed rather quickly and it startled me, that's all, and Kirishima is just really sweet and we never really talked before so.... This will all go away within a week. Just watch.

Morning had come rather slowly. I didn't sleep much again last night, but surprisingly it wasn't because of nightmares.

It was because I couldn't get my mind off of the two boys that sat in my room only several hours before.

Now, they should be on their way here again so we can walk down to breakfast together.

I only sprinted around my room making sure I have everything before glancing in my mirror to make sure I didn't look like a train wreck.

I had my uniform on neatly, but my hair was curly and messy as always. My face had a bit more color in it today, but I still had bags under my eyes.

I sighed. There's no point in putting foundation on seeing as that bruise was healed and gone.

A simple pattern of three knocks was heard from my door and I quickly grabbed my bag before pulling it open.

Two boys stood in front of me, both wearing their uniforms. Kacchan was missing his tie, like always. While Kirishima had his as neatly done as mine, but his hair was pulled back by a headband today.

Kirishima flashed me with a wide smile. "Hey Midoriya!"

I blushed slightly, but looked down before they could see it. "H-Hey, good morning." I said back to both of them.

"Ready to go?" Kirishima asked.

I lifted my head up back to theirs and nodded.

The three of us walked to the elevator before riding it down to the main level.

Right outside the elevator was the common area. Not many people were in here since most were in the dining room.

Kaminari, Sero, and Mina stood up from the couch as they noticed us and ran over. "You guys are actually on time for once." Kaminari praised.

"Shut the hell up, Pikachu. We'll get here when we feel like it." Kacchan replied. Though I noticed that when he talks to his regular group of friends, the malice behind his voice is barely even there.

"Hey Midoriya, what are you doing here?" Mina noticed me right behind Kirishima and Kacchan.

"We invited him to join us." Kirishima said so easily.

The three other friends seemed to freeze up momentarily.

"You mean to tell me that you-" Kaminari pointed at Kirishima. "Convinced Bakugou to let Midoriya join us?" He said shocked.

I only glanced at the floor. Part of me felt like maybe I shouldn't be here, after all, this isn't exactly my friend group.

"Got a problem with it?!" Kacchan said rather aggressively.

"No! Not at all. It's just surprising." Kaminari finished before Kacchan blew him up.

I felt a hand lay on my shoulder and I looked up to see Kirishima looking at me with concerned eyes.

"Are you ok, Midoriya?" He asked.

I nodded my head.

"If it's too much, then you don't have to eat with us. It's ok."

"I-I'm fine. Don't w-worry." I said simply.

He gave me a hesitant look before all of us walked into the kitchen.

"What are we having today? Chef Katsuki!" Kirishima teased joyfully.

"Tch. French toast, bacon, and eggs. We have a little extra time this morning." Kacchan replied while pulling ingredients out.

"Ooh! Can I have some?" Kaminari called.

"No. Get your own damn food."

Kaminari pouted at Kacchan. "You're so mean. Why do you always make food for Kirishima, but no one else?"

"Because Eiji's the only person in this entire group I can stand. Plus, he's my boyfriend." Kacchan pointed out.

Kirishima kissed Kacchan's cheek. "Thanks babe, love you too."

Kacchan's face turned red slightly before turning away to turn the stove on.

I separated from the group momentarily to pour myself a bowl of cereal.

Though, I couldn't decide what I wanted, so I just grabbed a random box out of the cabinet.

Then I went to a separate cabinet to grab a bowl.

Before I could even pour the cereal, the box was ripped out of my hand.

"Hey! I was-"

"I'm making you food, damn nerd. Don't eat." Kacchan said, affectively shutting me up.

Wait, why is he making me food? I'm not Kirishima and I'm certainly not dating him.

"That's not fair! You make Midoriya food, but not us!" Sero complained.

"Shut the hell up."

"Does Bakugou actually like Midoriya all of a sudden?" Mina teased.

Kacchan growled before turning, ready to kill Mina.

"U-Uhm, Kacchan!" I shouted to gain his attention. He stopped and turned to me.

I looked down towards the ground. "I-It's alright. I'm fine with a bowl of cereal. You don't need to be making any for me."

I don't want to cause a fight between him and his friends. Kacchan and I only made up yesterday and it really isn't fair that he'd make food for me and not his other friends.

"I'll do whatever the hell I want, damn nerd. I'm making food for the three of us and the others can fucking make their own damn shit, for all I care." He said, going back to preparing the food. Even though he cussed, his words were still gentle towards me and his friends.

His friends probably know Kacchan meant no offense by it, besides, if he did, it would've been a whole lot harsher.
I would know.

"Bakugou! That language is not appropriate!" Iida yelled from the other side of the kitchen, with a text book in hand.

"Like I fucking care." He said, his back facing the blue haired, robot like boy. "Go sit down with Eiji. I'll be there in a moment." I nodded my head and Kirishima and I took a seat at the dining room table.

"Hey Deku!" Uraraka shouted.

"Hey guys!" I called back to Ura and Todoroki.

They sat across from me, a plate of food in front of each of them.

"Morning Midoriya, how are you feeling?" Todoroki asked.

"I'm doing better, thanks." I smiled at them.

"Did you sleep last night?" Ura asked and Todoroki looked over at me, waiting for a response.

I couldn't help but notice that Kirishima seemed interested in the question as well.

I stiffened and my face turned red. I know they meant did I have any nightmares last night, which I didn't, but I still didn't sleep.

I couldn't exactly tell them I couldn't sleep last night because I kept thinking about Kacchan and Kirishima.

"U-Uhm, yeah I did. Better than the o-other night." I said, hoping they won't catch me lying.

They both seemed satisfied with my answer before finishing their food.

Kacchan came over to us and placed food in front of Kirishima and I before taking a seat on my left.

"Thank you, Kat!" Kirishima called.

"Thank you, Kacchan." I also said.

"Tch. You're welcome." He said simply before digging into his own food.

"Did you really get sleep last night, Midoriya?" Kirishima asked me, only loud enough for me and Kacchan to hear. Kacchan looked up at his words and stared at me.

"U-Uhm. I-I did. Not a lot, but I did." I explained.

"Liar. We over heard your conversation with pink cheeks and Icyhot the other day." Kacchan pointed out.

I tensed up again.

They heard that?

"You know about the n-nightmares?" I asked, hesitantly.

"We just heard of them. We don't know what they're about or anything. We just know they keep you up. Has that always happened?" Kirishima asked.

"N-Not really. They started a few years ago, but they're not a big deal." I quickly explained.
Neither boy seemed to respond to my explanation. "It's fine! Really. I actually didn't have one last night." I tried to lift the sour looks off of their faces.

"Then why didn't you sleep?" Kirishima asked.

"U-Uhm. Its-"

"Alright everyone! It's time to clean up and get going! We don't want to be late." Iida interrupted.

Perfect timing.

"We should go." I said standing up to head to the kitchen.

I surprisingly finished all of my food even though we didn't have much time.

I cleaned my plate off before setting it in the dishwasher and grabbing my bag.

Kirishima and Kacchan didn't seem that far off from me when I joined Uraraka and Todoroki.

Our two friend groups were a little distant from each other, Kaminari seemed to be trying to annoy Kacchan as Kirishima, Mina, and Sero just laughed. Todoroki, Uraraka, and I talked about about next week's exam.

Five minutes later we arrived in class. Aizawa was early oddly enough, since class doesn't start for another fifteen minutes.

"Midoriya. I wanted to speak to you." He said and the two of us left the room to talk outside. "How are you doing?" He asked me, arms crossed.

"I'm doing well, sir. I'm sorry for troubling you and recovery girl."

"No need to apologize for that. Did you happen to remember the names of the people who did this to you?"

I shook my head at the question. I partly forgot I had told him a bunch of teenagers beat me up when in reality it was my dad who did it.

Aizawa sighed. "Midoriya. I really need to know. The people who did this need to be punished."

"I know." I said, looking down.

"Are you trying to protect them?" He asked.

My eyes shot up. "N-No! That's not it at all."

Ok, maybe a little. What kind of son would I be if I tattled on my dad for roughing me up a little bit?

A terrible one. He's my dad after all and even though he's hurt me, I still love him.

"I hope that's true, but Midoriya, if there's something you're not telling me, then I need to know."

"I-I'm sorry sir. I just can't." I closed my eyes tightly and slumped my shoulders.

"Alright. That's enough for now. Class is about to start."

The two of us walked back in and the lesson started.
