"You three, are given special permission to stay here during lunch time if only you promise that you won't harm yourself just to see Izuku!" Recovery girl scolds.

"A great deal." Shoto nods, "I'm not good with promises but yes, I promise."

"Same."

"Same."

Recovery girl looked satisfied and left them again, Izuku sighed.

"Seriously... what am I going to do with you three?" Izuku frowns, "Kacchan, are you gonna stop hugging me soon...?"

"No."

"Kacchan..."

"I go next." Kirishima says.

"I'll go after you." Shoto says.

"Can I get a hug too?" Shinso asks.

"No." The three replied at the same time.

"Don't be mean!" Izuku huffs, pushing away Bakugou who let himself be pushed because he's physically unable to deny Izuku anything. Izuku marched to Shinso and hugged him. The teen happily accepting it and hugging a Izuku just as tight before releasing him.

"Ah now I see why there's a queue for it, that feels really nice." Shinso mutters, Izuku smiles at him brightly before returning his attention back to his friends who apologized before squeezing the heck out of him.

Chiyo was quick to dismiss Izuku for lunch, telling him he can just go back later, he went off, Shoto, Katsuki and Eijirou following after him. He brought his own food of course, although lunch rush seems to be okay with giving him a meal, he kinda wants to improve on his cooking and cooking for himself everyday has become sort of a hobby now.

They sat on a table, just the three of them. Shoto's eyes widen at his cooking.

"...I remember when all you fed me was fried rice that was black on the side-"

"Shoucchan, I accidentally burnt that one and told you not to eat it but you still did anyways."

"It's good, as long as it's from you I can eat lots and lots." Izuku nods, pulling his wooden chopsticks apart before he started eating.

"Izu I'll give you my lunch let's exchange." Kirishima says, sliding his tray over.

"Eh? I already ate some of mine through."

"That makes it better."

"Why? That's not fair..." Izuku pouts, "I'll just make you one tomorrow, okay?"

"Can I-"

"I'll make some for you two as well." Izuku mutters, "But I'm sure what I'll make won't be better than your lunch right now..."

"Izuku, you can put a rock infront of me, I'll eat it and tell you it's good." Shoto says.

"That's the problem! Just because I made it doesn't mean it's automatically good, you know? I can't keep improving if all you do is praise me, you know?" Shoto looked genuinely shocked.

"O-Oh..."

"Eitherway, I talked to Fumikage-san earlier." Izuku frowns, "Shoucchan, why aren't you talking with any of your classmates? Having connections early on is great- especially since there's a large chance that you'll probably end up teaming up with your classmates atleast once once you're pro heroes."

"They're not worth my time, I came here to be a hero-"

"Do you seriously think you can be a hero and yet not communicate with anyone? Aside from Kiri and Kacchan, Fumikage-san told me you weren't talking with anyone at all, how would you feel if I only talked to Kiri and Kacchan and not you?"

"...Like dying."

"Shoucchan..." Izuku frowns.

"I'm not that close to my classmates and I don't like any of them the same way that I like you, why would I need to talk with them when I have you?"

"Shoucchan, I'm gone 5 days a week and the only time we ever really have the time to hang out is on weekends, the only reason I'm here is because of my internship and it won't last for longer than a month- there are people here that you get to meet with and talk with everyday, just give them a chance, okay? Do you know what I would do to spend that much time with you guys?" Shoto nods although he looks a bit down with the thought of talking to someone else aside from Izuku.

"And Kacchan." Katsuki stilled.

"Kacchan, there are people who want to be your friend, why would you think that it's appropriate to use your quirk against them- especially when you're not doing hero training. You're an upcoming hero, you shouldn't abuse your quirk like that! It's fine if you want to tease or joke around but blowing up someone on the face isn't a nice way to make them go away! Your explosions hurt, you know?" Katsuki looked away and just stuffed his face with food, feeling guilty.

"Kacchan, stop stuffing food in your mouth, I'm talking to you."

"...Ugh, fine if I stop blowing them up, will you let me go?" Izuku nods.

"Fine, I won't blow them up anymore." Katsuki says, sticking out his pinky, Izuku smiles and intertwines their pinkies together and connects their thumbs, making a pinkie promise,

"Shou, tell me if Kacchan blows up anyone outside of hero training."

"Got it."

"Why the shit would you hand him that task?!"

"Kiri's nice and would probably let you get away with a lot of them, I'm not risking it." Izuku says with a huff.

"Kiri." Kirishima slowly looked up from his food and to Izuku.

"Stop excusing their behavior- why didn't you tell me any of these was happening?!" Kirishima squeaks and lowers his head.

"I-I'm Sorry- I Uh, thought it wasn't that important-"

"It's like sports fest all over again- these sort of things are important, Kiri!" Izuku hisses, "Seriously, just because it doesn't involve me doesn't mean it's not important, okay? You would've been all good if you just told me!" Kirishima nods.

"S-Sorry, won't do it again." Kirishima mutters.

"U-Um Hey, Izuku?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you Uh... give me a new nickname? You call Katsuki and Shoto by their first names but you call me with my last- can you change it up a bit?" Izuku blinks slowly, thinking.

"I have a suggestion, Ei-chi sounds cute, it's different from the chan than you use with me and Katsuki-"

"O-Oi! What are you-!"

"Why the hell not, Eichi is a nice sounding nickname, right Izuku?" Izuku blinks before slowly nodded, Kirishima felt horrified.

"Eichi then! It's alright if I call you that right? It sounds really cute and I think it'll really fit you!" Izuku chirps, looking at Kirishima, stilling when he sees the disgusted look on his face before he pouts, a bit anxious. "I-Is it...- don't you like it? I mean if you don't want me to call you that then it's fine but I think it's really cute and-"

"N-No it's fine! You can call me that!" Kirishima hastily says, Izuku grins at him bright.

"Okay, I'll start calling you Eichi now!"

Katsuki snickers, a crooked smug smirk on his face while Shoto continued to just slurp on his soba but the amusement is clear in his eyes, Kirishima sighs.

He really preferred Kiri from this.

____________________________

While the others weren't paying attention, Kirishima was somehow able to convince Izuku of calling him Eichan instead which is honestly a really really good improvement from Eichi, Kirishima isn't sure how he'll handle it, hearing Izuku say that word so casually and so brightly and innocently- it's a nice save. Actually, Kirishima isn't sure how he'll handle it if Izuku ever swore at him.

The picture of a foul mouthed Izuku while kinda funny isn't something he would ever ever wish to happen.

"Oh since you three are here, I want to give you something." Izuku mutters, they were escorting Izuku back to the clinic. Izuku went in and after a few moments, came back, holding a silver box, handing it to Kirishima.

"...Please take care of it, and um, I guess you shouldn't open it here? Can you open it after school? Sorry I won't be able to come with you guys, so go home early, okay?"

They nodded and quickly left to go back to their classroom, they agreed that Kirishima should keep it first since it was entrusted to him by Izuku but they plan to switch places every now and then.

The moment the bell rings, they waited until their classmates are gone before they gathered up in a desk, the metal box in the middle. When they lifted it up they almost yelped at the hologram that comes up with it.

'Hi! Um sorry I'm not really good with these kind of stuff- I really should've just written a letter." Izuku says, looking a bit bashful, a shy smile on his face.

"So um, by the time you're reading this, school is over- or well, atleast I hoped you waited until school was over because I feel like you'll end up freaking out people around you." He mutters, Katsuki is thankful he urged them to open it only after school.

"I...Well um- it's really not that special but- I hope you take care of this very well- it's mine and um... I want you three to have it... please don't play with it or anything like that or give it away for someone else to take care of, it sounds a bit selfish of me but I... I really want you three to be the only one to even ever see it or hold it. And don't freak out, okay?"

"T-That's all, bye!" Izuku chirps before the hologram disappears, Kirishima wonders what the thing is, once the distraction of Izuku's hologram is gone they actually looked down and they almost freaked out ( well Kirishima ) at the beating heart laid down in the box, a small note rolled up at the side.

'It's my heart! Well not really, it's a different heart but it beats the same time as mine and I've been wanting to give it to you three, please take care of me ó0ò'

"I call dibs on it." Shoto says, shutting the box and taking it.

"Oi who said you can take it?! I get to take Izuku's heart first- fuck off!" Katsuki screams, trying to tug it out of Shoto's hold.

"Hey don't move it too much! Not even three minutes in and you're already shaking it around like a toy!" Kirishima hisses, taking it from them.

"I'll take care of it, then Shoto then Katsuki, okay?!"

"Why do I go last?!"

"You're the one tugging on it like crazy- be gentle with Izuku's heart!" Kirishima scolds, holding it protectively and cradling it. He opens the box and sighs in relief, seeing it mostly undisturbed aside from it being an inch off from its original spot. He kinda wants to touch it but he shouldn't experiment with Izuku's heart like that.

"Do you think Izuku will find it weird if I lick his heart."

"Shoto what the fuck."

"I was just asking, no need to be rude."
