SHOTA LOOKED UP AND down the hall as Izuku exited his office and once he was satisfied that no one would see him watching Izuku walk away he turned his attention back to the boy walking away from him, musing with his headphone. He resisted the urge to call out something like, 'I hate to see you leave, but love to watch you walk away' with a grin on his face. Soon enough he lost Izuku in the crowd of students returning to their classes, he schooled his expression into his usual glare as he looked over the students passing in the hallway before turning back into his office and shutting the door.

Friday ended and Saturday quickly came, Izuku was hoping to just relax in bed for the day and recover from the nasty training session Shota had cooked up for class at the end of the day. But as usual, Izuku wasn't that lucky. It was around 11 when multiple people bounced into his room while he rested in bed, he groaned as Mina, Uraraka, Denki, Sero, Momo, Tsu and Jirou walked into his room unannounced. 

"Izuku!" Mina announced her presence as she opened his door and walked in, the rest of her gang walking in behind her. Izuku laid on his stomach in bed playing on his phone when he was so rudely interrupted. "We've made a decision!" She chirped hopping up on his bed while everyone else filed into their own spots in his room. 

"Do I have any say in this decision?" Izuku questioned rolling onto his back, looking over at Mina as she rested her legs across his stomach with a grin on her face.

"Nope!" Everyone replied in unison, Izuku grimaced and covered his face with his hands. Denki jumped up and straddled Izuku's lap splaying his hands across Izuku's bare stomach.

"You're going on that date man!" Denki grinned drumming on Izuku's stomach, "Everyone is here to make you look pretty!" Izuku lowered his hands and gave Denki an unimpressed look. 

"Oh don't look like that, like you said your little fuck session was a one time thing, we want you to have a relationship Izukuuuu," Uraraka chimed in climbing up beside Mina, Izuku was glad his bed was big, he could comfortably fit everyone in their little group on his bed if he wanted to but Sero and Tsu had taken a spot on the floor playing with his kitten Junior while Momo and Jirou stood in front of his desk, Momo setting up what looked like her own personal makeup station while Jirou was looking through all his jewelry. 

"Come on, your date is at 4 and we have some work to do." Mina ordered moving her feet to Izuku's side and not so gently pushing him off his bed, Denki and him landing in a heap on the floor. Izuku grumbled as he untangled himself from a whining Denki and stood up, stretching until he heard a satisfying pop. 

"How'd you get in here anyways?" Izuku questioned leaning down to grab his shirt off the floor, he had gotten too warm the night before and stripped down to only a pair of short shorts which showed his boxers even when standing.

"Your mom let us in," Sero hummed holding a small black kitten with white paws and a tuff of white fur on it's chest. 

"Of course she did," Izuku mumbled watching as Mina and Jirou started raiding his closet for the "perfect" outfit. He loved his friends, he really did, but they were overbearing and pushy more often than not. "And what if my answer is still no for this date?" 

"Denki and I are here to make sure you get in the car," Sero responded nonchalantly and Izuku gritted his teeth, case in point. Izuku took a seat on his bed and folded his arms on his legs as he watched the chaos unfold, he fucking hated it here. 

The small kitten, Junior seemed to notice Izuku's stress and wriggled free of Sero's hold before proudly prancing up to Izuku and taking a seat between his feet. Izuku quirked a brow at the small kitten staring up at him, Junior ever the patient kitten screamed up at his dad until Izuku gave in and picked him up. Izuku smiled softly as Junior curled up in his lap and quickly fell asleep, he remembered telling Shota June's story and in turn Shota telling him about Husker and Snow. Izuku smiled at the thought of Shota showing him the picture of Husk and Snow with a look of pure adoration on his face, he'd have to return the favor and show him the multitude of pictures he had of June tucked away in his camera roll. 

"Alright! The outfit is sorted, Izuku go take a shower and shave, you got some stubble coming in," Mina ordered snapping Izuku out of his thoughts, Izuku rolled his eyes and moved Junior off his lap, passing him off to Tsu before taking his clothes and walking to the bathroom. As he turned on the water Izuku's mind wandered back to Shota, what was he up to today?

-

Shota was having a shit day, first thing in the morning he was called into the station instead of sleeping in like he was planning to and now he was chasing down a serial mugger that had elevated to not only mugging his victims but also sexually assaulting them. He just wanted to sleep for as long as he could before his patrol that night, now he was getting trash thrown at him while he ran in a darkened alleyway. 

"Will you," Shota grunted as a handful of trash was thrown at him, "Fucking stop that!" he growled, his serial hopped a fence but clipped it and fell face first onto the ground with his pants and socks caught on the top. The man struggled to pull his pants off the fence as Shota caught up and hopped the fence with ease. "What'd we learn?" Shota questioned pulling a pair of cuffs from his belt only to see the man make a swift move for his own belt and take off his pants. 

"Shut the fuck up!" The man yelped as he tripped and stumbled to start running, in his boxers, and one sock. Shota rolled his eyes and used his scarf to catch the man's ankle and drag him back.

"Has anyone told you to keep it in your pants, pervert?" Shota grumbled leaning against the man's back and cuffing him, he dragged him onto his feet and started dragging him out of the alley.

"Wait, Wait! Aren't you going to let me at least put my pants back on?" The man asked trying to tug at the restraints, Shota rolled his eyes and pushed the man forward.

"No, you took them off dumbass." Shota was already done with today, he loved being a hero and helping people but shit like this makes it a bit hard to enjoy his profession. The man smelt of cigarettes, sweat and an overwhelming amount of cologne, even the officer grimaced at the smell when Shota handed him off.  Shota decided he needed a shower, a really hot shower, more sleep and maybe if he's lucky, some time to see Izuku. But, Shota wasn't that lucky as he went back to the station and was pulled aside by detective Tsukauchi about one of the cases Shota was currently working on.

"Any leads?" Tsukauchi asked handing Shota a cup of coffee that was gratefully accepted.

"None of my people have any info on the guy, I'm trying to get them to ask around but so far nothing," Shota sighed before downing the entirety of his coffee and tossing the empty cup in the trash. Tsukauchi frowned and looked over the case files on his desk, he was drowning in work. 

"Well, I guess I'll let you get back home, you'll call me if you catch a break?" Tsukauchi looked up at Shota and Shota nodded.

Time to get home, shower and sleep until 6.

Izuku sat in the passenger seat of the uber, an XL, curtesy of Mina. There was minimal fighting to get Izuku in his seat and buckled, only one headbutt and an extremely concerned look from their driver and they were off to the small cafe the date was scheduled at. Once they arrived Izuku was all but pushed out of the car as Mina commandeered the front seat, Izuku quickly straightened himself out and brushed himself off.

"Just remember, be yourself! You look cute!" Mina called rolling down her window, Izuku rolled his eyes and flipped her off before walking into the cafe. He glanced around the cafe before settling on a small table in the back corner, he straightened out his jacket after settling his bag on the back of his chair. He gave himself one more look over in the window beside him, he wore black jeans, a white shirt and a grey zip up under a black baseball jacket. 'Cute and lowkey' as Mina called it, Izuku had to agree as he fixed his hair one last time before sitting down. 

He scrolled on his phone for a few minutes until someone walked up to his table gaining his attention. "Izuku?" They asked curiously before grinning when Izuku looked up at him. The man was slightly taller than him with olive skin and freckles that rivaled Izuku's own, he had dark brown hair and ember eyes that almost seemed to glow under the low lighting of the cafe. "Hi I'm Karayan,"

Karayan held out his hand and Izuku shook it with a smile, "Karayan, like vampire right?" 

"Mhm, more like dark-souled," Karayan grinned sitting down across from Izuku with a soft smile. Izuku had to admit he was good looking, he had a few piercings and a pretty smile but Izuku was going to stick to his no relationships rule no matter how cute the boy in front of him was, also he wasn't exactly his type.

"Interesting, so what exactly did Mina tell you?" Izuku asked tilting his head and Karayan shrugged.

"She had a cute friend that was extremely lonely and thought we'd look cute together." He chuckled as Izuku scoffed, "don't worry, I'm also extremely lonely."

"Welcome to the club Kara," Izuku leaned back in his seat with a small smile, "but I'm gonna be completely honest, I'm not looking for a relationship at the moment." Kara tilted his head with a curious look silently asking, 'then why are you here?' Izuku explained that Mina and his friends basically forced him here because they thought he was lonely but he was doing just fine on his own. Kara nodded and hummed thoughtfully.

"Well I would like this to be a date still, but we can agree that we don't have to date after, if that's alright with you?" Izuku shrugged before agreeing, he could work with that as long as Karayan knew it wouldn't go any further.

-

Izuku laid sprawled out on his bed in his boxers and shirt, he was absolutely exhausted from all the social activity he endured today. If he was being honest he enjoyed his date with Kara a little more than he was expecting, after they had coffee and talked for a couple hours Kara talked him into walking around the local park which turned into playing in the nearly deserted playground for a few more hours before Kara got a call and had to leave. It was fun but Izuku was sticking to his guns and refusing a second date or relationship. 

Izuku grumbled as he rolled onto his stomach and curled up into his pillow and blankets completely missing the quiet tapping coming from his window. But you know who didn't? Junior. Junior, who was curled up on one of the unused pillows, looked up at the window and immediately puffed up.

"What's up with you, silly boy?" Izuku murmured reaching towards June who hissed and kept his eyes on the window. Izuku startled by Junior's actions followed his gaze only to see a dark figure halfway in his window. Running on pure instinct he jumped up and pulled the figure through the window and threw them on the ground, foot pressed harshly into their chest. 

"It's me!" Shota whisper yelled holding his hands up in surrender, Izuku paused staring down at Shota dumbfounded. 

"What the fuck?" Izuku whispered back pulling his foot off Shota's chest while Shota just smiled at him from the floor. "What are you doing here?" 

"I just wanted to see you, did you not get my text?" He questioned brushing off his shirt and sitting up, Izuku furrowed his brows and looked towards his phone, which was turned off and on the charger. Shota followed his gaze and chuckled, "guessing not."

"I didn't, but still why did you just silently climb in my window? You scared the shit out of Junior, and me, but mostly June." Izuku sat on his bed trying to calm down the puff of a kitten that was silently stalking towards Izuku's side, eyes not leaving Shota. 

"I didn't know who was home or if you were sleeping," Shota shrugged scooting to the bed and holding his hand out towards June, who eyed him suspiciously but nevertheless sniffed his hand and calmed a little.

"What were you gonna do if I was sleeping?" Izuku teased and Shota hummed pushing off the floor and flopping onto Izuku's bed.

"Joined you, I've had a long day." His reply was muffled by the blankets he pushed his face into, Izuku fell back by his side and Junior curled up in the crook of Izuku's neck still watching Shota with an unsure look.

"I guess I can take in a hobo for a night, but you aren't wearing those clothes to sleep." Izuku playfully scrunched up his nose at Shota's clothes which Shota retaliated by pushing Izuku's face to the side, Junior wasn't too pleased, but he let it slide when he saw Shota get up. The next 20 minutes were spent finding Shota clothes that fit, they settled on Shota's boxers and a Black tank-top that Izuku refused to tell the story of. "Alright you have to be out by 6:30." Izuku murmured cuddling into Shota's chest.

"I feel like a mistress." Shota joked and Izuku snickered looking up at him.

"A very handsome mistress." Izuku ran his thumb along Shota's jaw feeling the light stubble under his fingertip while Shota melted into his hand. He silently studied Izuku's face as Izuku slowly nodded off still gently tracing Sho's jaw. it was a quiet tender moment that Shota wanted to soak in forever even more so when Izuku pulled his arms to his chest and cuddled closer to Shota. Shota pulled the covers over Izuku's shoulders and moved June off the blankets and onto the pillow above Izuku. June was still slowly warming up to him, the kitten curled up on the pillow with his face stuffed into Izuku's hair. 

Shota took a mental image and closed his eyes.
