"Katsuki, do you want to meet another friend? He's about the same age as you." Izuku says, they were currently hanging out in Katsuki's village, atop of the trees. Katsuki seems uninterested, picking on leaves before placing them in his mouth.

"Do I need to? I already have you." He says, Izuku giggles, a small blush on his face.

"It's good to have friends your age you know? And while I think it's not that bad to only have one person as a friend, I still think it's more healthier for you to make other friends."

"Why?"

"So incase if there's something you don't want to talk about with me, you can always ask your friends instead!"

"That's stupid, why would there be something I don't want to tell you?"

"W-Well you're a teen, it's only natural for you to be curious..."

"Don't worry my mom already gave me the sex talk, don't need you to give me one."

"W-Well um... I mean don't you have someone you have your eye on? Girls or boys or anything?"

"...You-"

"That's because you're looking at me! Geez give me an honest answer, isn't there anyone you like from your village?" Katsuki ponders a bit.

"No."

"..."

"What?"

"Nothing. Well I still think you should have a friend."

"Fine but if they're as bad as the last guy I'm not talking to them."

"It's fine! Don't worry he's the complete opposite of Kirishima!" Izuku chirps.

"He's really cool and really nice! I'm sure you'll get along with him, he's really amazing too you know? He's a perfect mix of ice and fire, isn't that cool?" Izuku says, a bit starry eyed, Katsuki let out a scowl.

"Whatever, just let me meet him." Izuku nods, hugging him tight.

the next time Katsuki opened his eyes, they were standing infront of an altar and although there was no fire infront to them, raging flames were from everywhere, strangely, Katsuki feels calm.

"Come on, we gotta go before Enji catches us." Izuku whispers, running to a room to their left, Katsuki follows. They moved through what seems like a maze before Izuku slams a door open.

"Shoto!" Izuku calls out, the person who seems to be Shoto stilled before slowly looking at them, he was making an ice sculpture of sorts.

"Izuku." He replies, Izuku smiles and hugs the teen. Katsuki somehow felt very annoyed right now. Like he wants to strangle him or something, the person glances at him, looking uninterested, well good for him Katsuki's hella uninterested too.

Izuku pulls away and immediately, Shoto walks to him, extending a hand. Katsuki stares at it like its the most disgusting thing he's ever seen.

"Shoto. God of Temperature. Nice to meet you." Katsuki huffs, shaking hands with the teen, "I'm a year older than you, call me senpai."

"I'll call you obnoxious how about that."

"Katsuki-kun..." Izuku pouts.

"He started it! Don't look at me like that!"

Izuku didn't look amused but sighed, "I'm gonna keep an eye out for Enji, here." Izuku stands on his tip toes, kissing Katsuki's forehead and eliciting a small blush from the teen.

"There so once I'm gone, I'm bringing you with me." Izuku smiles, "make friends with Shoto okay? For me?" Katsuki nods, mostly because he can't deny a request from the greenette. Izuku looked satisfied before he left the room. Leaving him alone with Shoto.

"I want you to know that I'm only considering this because Midori told me to."

"Midori? Kinda childish but I see why Izuku would let you call him that. And don't worry, I'm also only considering this because he told me to." Shoto humms, "I'm making a statue of him, feel free to tell me any missing details." Katsuki nods, staring up from what Shoto was doing.

"His fingers are too thin, they're delicate and you did a great job on that but he's not stick and bones."

"Ah... I see."

"You made his eyes too round, there's a bit of sharpness on it and his eyelashes too long. They're average but dainty. He has 42 freckles on both cheeks, 27 of them fainter than others- he has a slight bump on his neck it's not completely smooth- biceps are too thin give him some muscle-"

"Okay okay okay." Shoto says writing them down.

"His calves are too high and sharp, his thighs are thick, they're too thin here. He has a feminine body but this is just too feminine, haven't you ever seen him with a shirt off-?"

"No."

"That explains why, he has light abs, really light, he's feminine but you can tell that he's a boy. His hair looks messy here, they're supposed to look effortless, cute and curly not whatever scraggly thing you made there." Katsuki mutters, taking a sketchpad from the floor and a pencil. He starts to roughly sketch before giving it to Shoto.

"Oh... that's... really good."

"Tche, of course, it's from me." Katsuki says, a bit smug. Shoto takes it before staring at his own work.

"Yeah... this is more accurate." Shoto touches the ice sculpture he made before it starts to melt into a pool of water, then he starts again with a basic humanoid shape.

"Thanks for the help, I guess you should be the one I'll be calling senpai." Shoto says.

"What're you doing that shit for, anyways?"

"...A gift."

"Yeah but why?"

"When you like someone, you give them gifts and stuff."

"You like Midori?" Shoto nods.

"So I'm giving him a gift."

"...Huh."

"You know, since you helped me and all. I'll teach you how to carve something. It's only the basics though."

"Good enough."

Shoto leaves the room and comes back with two large blocks of wood and a couple of tools, sprawling them down another desk, far from where the ice sculpture is.

"Wood is pretty easy to get to work with. Well, atleast it's better than ice." Shoto mutters, "your high boy temperature will probably never let you play with ice so you're more suited to play with-.... actually wait here." Shoto says, taking the blocks of wood. He then returns with blocks of stones instead.

"This is probably the most basic material you can mess around with. Here, I'll show you how to carve around it."

They spent sometime, Shoto shows him how to make a bird, which is simple enough. Katsuki picked up on it pretty easily but it's a bit rough and sharp, Shoto's was more delicate but with enough practice, Katsuki can probably catch up.

"Wood is more pliable but to not accidentally burn anything I think it's best you play safe with stone or clay first. It'll be frustrating if you worked hard on something only for it to burn just before you've finished." Katsuki nods, accepting the box of tools Shoto gives him.

"You're free to come here- well, if you can. If you ever have troubles, you can ask your senpai."

"I'm not calling you that."

"That's fine as well-" Katsuki yelps when in an instant, he disappears, reappearing in the same tree Izuku and him were on earlier.

"S-Sorry, Enji appeared and I had to leave before he could see me! I'll never hear the end of it if he caught me!" Izuku whines.

"It's fine."

"Did you and Shoto get along?" Katsuki nods, showing him the rough sculpture of a bird he did, Izuku gasps.

"It's so cute! Kacchan!" Izuku takes it in his hands, a wide smile on his face as he holds it while Katsuki sputters.

"K-Kacchan?!"

"I thought it'd be nice to give you a nickname, Katsuki so cute, so why not Kacchan? Do you like it?"

"...It's not bad but you're the only person I'll ever allow to call me that."

"Aww, thanks." Izuku says, hugging him, "can I keep the bird?"

"Eh sure, I'll make a better one anyways."

"Of course! Kacchan is super cool after all!"

"..."

Katsuki realizes what Izuku meant earlier when he said that there are things he probably wouldn't want to talk about with Izuku.

"Kacchan, are you okay?"

"I'm sleepy."

"Eh? You are?" Katsuki nods.

"Aw, well sleep well, I'll see you next time, Kacchan." Izuku says, crawling over to him and kissing him on the forehead before he disappears

Katsuki sighs, Izuku definitely knows he doesn't sleep so why'd he let him get away with it?

He shouldn't question it that much, he should just be happy that Izuku didn't interrogate him or anything.
