Shoto was having a really nice dream. A really nice dream which involved Izuku bathing with him, in his dream, Izuku has their soulmarks, it was cute, it looked nice on Izuku like it fit him perfectly.

Shoto wakes up a few minutes after, Izuku was leaning on his shoulder, still sleeping.

They were going on the camping trip, Katsuki doesn't seem happy with anything so he's currently acting like a prick but when was Katsuki not a prick? Around Izuku of course but Izuku is sleeping right now and the three of them fought over who gets to sit next to Izuku, Izuku picked him so he can lean over his cool side. Shoto has never felt more happy with his quirk at that time and right now.

Izuku was hugging his arm like a little koala bear. Shoto takes a picture and sends it to the GC just because he can before he drifts back to sleep.

He has the same dream. Izuku dipping his feet in the hot springs, only a bath towel hiding his modesty, the soulmarks were on him. This wasn't the first time he had this sort of dream, the first time he met Izuku, he dreamt about him being his soulmate, his mark on him, Shoto wants nothing more than to check for himself but Izuku doesn't like removing his clothes which is very very understandable.

Plus, what reason would Izuku need to have to hide his soulmark from them? Not that he ever needs to hide one since he doesn't have any // or so he says //, but what kind of stupid reason would Izuku have to hide it? They're boyfriends now, you would think that a soulmark reveal would do that but no, they loved Izuku for you know, being him and a soulmark intervention wasn't needed. Never was needed.

Of course Shoto would be happy if Izuku was their soulmate but right now? They don't need that soulmark just to love him, and whoever has their fourth soulmark? Well they better be fine with loving Izuku too.

Shoto spends the rest of their ride just relinquishing on the warmth right next to him. They stop at their break spot but Shoto doesn't move. Aizawa around the bus to see if anyone is left and his eyes lands on Shoto.

"What are you doing?"

"Izuku is asleep, I'm afraid I won't be able to move until he wakes up." Shoto says bluntly, Aizawa looks about to say something before he sighs.

"You don't need to pee or anything?"

"No, Izuku is sleeping next to me, I don't need those things."

"...If you pee on the way to the base-"

"I have an extra water bottle."

"Gross, okay don't talk to me for the rest of the drive."

"Aren't we waiting for the others, sensei?"

"Nope, be glad that Izuku is sleeping on you." Was all he before he returns back to his seat and the bus drives off.

Halfway unto the trio, Izuku wakes up.

"Shou...?" Izuku murmurs, sleepily, he yawns and stretches before notices only Shoto was the student around.

"Shoucchan, where are the others?" Shoto shrugs.

"Aizawa-sensei said they were safe. Aizawa-sensei let me stay since you were sleeping on me."

"O-Oh..."

"Don't be sad, don't worry, I'd rather be with you than with them." Izuku turns into a shade of pretty.

"O-Oh hm, t-thank you..." Izuku smiles bright at him, Shoto thinks he should keep smiling like that forever.

They arrive at the base camp, since Shoto was already here, Aizawa decided it was okay for him to start training ahead of the others instead of alone. They did already have set up the training grounds of tomorrow.

"You can stay and do whatever you want instead-"

"No it's fine, I think I want to help Shoucchan train."

"...I'll call you two back if the others return, make sure he trains, okay?" Izuku nods, Aizawa pets his head before he leaves.

"That looks fun, can I pat your head too?" Shoto asks, Izuku nods.

Shoto spends a couple of moments just petting his head before Izuku whines and forced him to go training.

First of all, boiling water. It doesn't bring up good memories at all, and he just doesn't like how it feels on his skin, second of all, he's in a cauldron, it makes him feel like he's about to get boiled down into a soup, Izuku sits a few meters away to not get in the way of the fire and ice. Shoto had taken everything off, his clothes sitting folded next to Izuku as the greenette shouted encouragements at him.

He felt very satisfied when Izuku flushed red when he saw him stripping down to nothing. He wants to see Izuku strip down to nothing too but those are thoughts that can be saved for later before bed.

Izuku leaves every now and then and comes back with water that he makes Shoto drink, not wanting him to get dehydrated or anything. It was about 3 hours of tireless practice before Aizawa comes back and tells them that Bakugou and Kirishima are here and is screaming. Apparently Aizawa has told them that Izuku is being held hostage in the base and has arrived earlier than others, demanding to see Izuku.

"So in short, they abandoned their class just to see me?"

"Yes."

"..." As soon as Shoto finishes wearing his clothes he grabs his hand and walks into the forestry area of the base of the training ground, he hides behind a tree and sends Aizawa a thumbs up.

"Izuku? What are we doing here, should we see them? They came all this way for you." Shoto says, Izuku huffs.

"They abandoned their class to get here, not everything should be about me, you guys will be heroes one day, you can't abandon your work for me." Shoto takes note of it.

"But, aren't you glad?" Izuku pouts.

"Of course I'm glad that they care about me but... this kind of thing is unhealthy for work, I'm just worried for them." He murmurs, he takes out a rope out of the bag he's carrying.

"Shou, tie me up." Izuku says, "so it's more convincing."

Shoto has never tied anyone of before so he just thinks of the last time Kirishima sent to him a picture of someone tied up and decided to do that for Izuku. Izuku lays on the ground and Shoto sits next to a tree and leans on it like he's limp or something.

A few moments later, Katsuki finds them.

"Oi Eijirou, I found them!"

"You did?"

"Yeah, Izuku's tied up weirdly, you know those uh, 'bondage' things you sent?"

"Wait what the fuck?" Kirishima runs over to them, "holy shit." He takes a photo.

"Seriously? Izuku's tied up like that and the first thing you do is take a picture?"

"Don't judge me."

"Fucking pervert, I'll untie him, you go wake Shoto up."

"I can do that-"

"No fuck off, you'll do something weird. Go wake Shoto and ask him what the fuck happened."

Kirishima pouts but goes to wake up Shoto anyways, shaking him awake.

"Hey buddy, do you know what happened?"

"...No, I hit my head, who are you?"

"Katsuki! Shoto has-"

"Ah, your name is Katsuki?"

"No, my name is Eijirou."

"...You don't look like an Eijirou, I'll call you Katsuki." Eijirou sighed.

"Katsuki, Shoto has amnesia and his attitude is more horrible than usual!"

"Got it! Hey Izuku, you okay?" Katsuki asks, finally managing to untie all the knots and loops on the rope.

"...Kacchan?"

"Yeah it's me, you okay?" Izuku nods, "do you remember what happened?" Izuku shook his head.

"Where's Shou? Is he okay?"

"He has amnesia."

"Oh... let me see him?"

"Are you sure? Aren't you injured anywhere?" Izuku shook his head.

"I don't think they hurt me, atleast I don't feel it or anything-"

"Ah we should check-" Izuku shrieks when Katsuki tries to tug up his sweater,

"I-I'll check later!"

"But-"

"I said later! S-Shou's condition is more bad if he can't remember anything-"

"Seeing Izuku's angelic face made my memory return, I feel 100% better now." Shoto says, Izuku looks so betrayed.

"Well I guess we should check on you now, right, Izu?" Kirishima asks, looking at him with intent.

"U-Um um I-I can c-check by myself er, can you stop looking at me like that?!" Izuku whines at their predatory-like gazes as he backs himself away on a tree.

"We need to check if something is really wrong Izu, we can't have you hiding injuries from us." Kirishima says.

"Hear hear." Shoto follows up.

"You've been held hostage, who knows what they did to you while they had you, we need to check, Izu." Katsuki says.

"E-Er, um-"

"Are you perhaps having trouble moving? You've been tied for quite awhile, are your arms not feeling well?" Shoto asks.

"N-No-!"

"Oi nerd, I'll help you out, just stay still-" Katsuki was interrupted when a familiar set of bandages wrapped around him and lifted him up.

"Forced PDA is not allowed in UA, act like heroes." Aizawa gruffs, letting Katsuki down.

"Midoriya, you're injured, I'll take care of it, you three, go meet with your other classmates."

"Oh, thank you Aizawa-sensei!"

"Stop getting in trouble." He sighs, carrying Izuku up, Izuku waves at them good bye as Aizawa carries him away.

"...Ah I want to do it with him." Shoto sighs.

"You two are fucking perverts, I'm going back." Katsuki says with a gruff as he stands up and leaves. The two follow after him.
