Izuku is trying to train.

Even if at first it was like death himself came upon Izuku to mock him himself, just like Static predicted, he did actually feel a bit better, for once he isn't vomiting blood each time he wakes up, he still doesn't get the logic behind why he's getting better when he's been dying the past few weeks but he's a fool if he wants to complain.

"Playing with your balls under the desk?" Shinso asks.

"Yeah. They're real heavy."

"Huh." Shinso mutters, looking at him.

"You're getting toned, Izuku."

"I am?"

"Your uniform is a bit tighter." He says, picking on his sleeve, pinching it, "at the start of the school year, you were really scrawny and this part was really loose but now if I pinch on it I can see your flesh making an imprint, kind of weird since you've been sick the past few days but atleast you're filling in."

"O-Oh, thanks?"

Why does he know that about me? Does he look at my sleeves when I'm not looking? He doesn't touch me that much though, how did he know that?

Some things are better left unsaid, Izuku.

If you know the answer to it then just say it!

Some things are better left unsaid.

Despite his hesitance, he actually goes to meet up with Toshinori again. The man was very regretful of the thing he's done and the first thing he does is get Izuku his favorite flavor of ice cream, cotton candy, with granola bits ontop. He doesn't know why this man knew, and Static is not telling him again but he doesn't care because it's his favorite flavor of ice cream, why would he complain?

They start cleaning the beach the next day, it's actually somehow kind of easy since he could already lift 30 kilograms by the time he starts, not like really easy, but somehow his previous experience helped him a bit. He doesn't know why but whenever he glances at the blond he somehow looks disappointed, and he's not sure why, at all. It makes him push himself up to the limit since he kinda of want to impress the blond but for some reason, Izuku feels like even if he cleans the beach in one day the man still wouldn't be happy with his results.

"You did great today, do you want to get ice cream?" Was what he always say after he's finished with the workload for today. The man happily takes him to get ice cream everyday. The biggest cup. He's not about to complain but seriously, how did this man knew his favorite flavor? Also why are granola bars so goddamn delicious?

He starts asking him mom to buy him some. And Katsuki in his class gives everyone one every single day so when someone doesn't want to eat their granola bar they usually just give it to Izuku to eat now. It's really good, no matter the flavor it's good. Katsuki seems pleased on his development in taste and gives him two now. His mom also leaves some on the table along with his bento. God bless her.

"Deku, go die in a ditch or something." Katsuki taunts as he walks past Izuku's table, the greenet just ignores him and continues to eat his food.

"He does this everyday, does he have like, nothing better to do?" Shinso asks, glaring at the blond and sighing.

"I personally think that it's a call of friendship, he wasn't to be friends with Izuku but is too shy to do it!" Katsuki says.

"I-I agree." Yamikumo adds.

"I'm pretty sure I'll die if I try talking with Kacchan though." Izuku insists.

"I think you should be more confident, Izuku-kun..." Yamikumo says, "Katsuki-kun might be scary but I'm sure that if you make your intentions clear, he won't be too angry at you if you try to befriend him."

"The keyword is won't be too angry." Shinso adds, "he's a ball of anger, I think it's best if Izuku just leaves him be, can't risk getting yourself killed because you tried to make friends."

"I'll..."

I do think you should try to befriend Kacchan. It will be good for later.

Why?

Trust me.

"Okay, I guess I can try..." Izuku mutters.

"Don't worry, if he tries to hurt you I'll take care of him." Shinso says.

"Wait do I have to do it right now?"

"No-"

"Yes!" Katsuki says, standing up and cutting off Shinso, "you absolutely should do it right now, for the best impression?"

"Why the hell does he need to impress that piece of yellow spiky turd?" Shinso mutters, looking at Izuku, "you don't have to do it today. You can do it tomorrow, trust me, no one minds."

"No, you should do it today." Yamikumo says, "today is the best day for it."

"How do you know that?" Izuku asks.

"Instinct. Katsuki doesn't look as angry today as he did in other days."

Izuku nods, Yamikumo stands up so that he can leave the table.

Actually now that he's standing up, he's actually not sure how he's going to talk to Kacchan since he actually has you know, friends from his own section, but it was all clear when he accidentally makes eye contact with one of them ( the one with red hair and eyes ) and he grins bright at him before calling out.

"Hey! Why don't you join our table?" He asks, Bakugou turns to look at him, looking like he's ready for murder, well you know what Kacchan? Good thing for you because he's given up and ready for death already.

"I mean... if you don't mind!" Izuku says with a smile, walking towards their table.

"Deku." Bakugou says.

"Hi Kacchan."

"You two are friends?" Kirishima asks.

"The best."

"Oh cool! I didn't know Bakugou was capable of making friends-"

"Fuck off I have many friends!" Bakugou screams.

"Sure, Kacchan." Izuku says, sitting next to Kaminari who made space for him.

"Hey, what's your name, dude?" Kaminari asks, "I see you sometimes with that Bakubro look alike and your twin, and sometimes that's purple haired dude! Not meant to pry but are you two boyfriends?" Izuku nods.

"Yes, he is my boyfriend-!"

"No he isn't, why would that fag ever like about a Deku? He's a quirkless fuck afterall."

"Hey! Not cool Bakubro! Just because he's quirkless doesn't mean he isn't cool!" Kirishima is haste to defend Izuku, "I mean look at him uh... he has pretty green eyes! Do you have pretty green eyes?!"

"My eyes are fucking red."

"See? There's one thing you don't have and is easy to fall in love with!"

...am I being flirted with?

I don't know.

"I get it ugh! Shut up, I don't wanna hear you flirting to Deku anymore!" Katsuki hisses. Kirishima gasps.

"There's Nothing Gay about telling your homie he has pretty green eyes, I'm not flirting! Plus he already has a boyfriend-"

"It's a fucking fake relationship no matter how you look at it!"

"It's not good to assume their relationship by yourself Bakubro-"

"I think Kacchan is just jealous because we were married way back then-"

"Shut up Deku I'm not a fag anymore!"

"But he was back then-"

"Just shut up!"

"You're giving me a what now." Izuku slowly blinks.

"My quirk, it can be passed down to another person, young Midoriya. And I believe that you are a right fit for it." Izuku blinks.

"Yeah, no thanks?"

"Why not?"

"I..I don't think I'll ever be that heroic or be that confident to fill in your shoes, you should find someone else, sorry." Izuku mutters, "But I hope this doesn't stop our training?"

"Worry not, it won't, don't you want to reconsider though?" Izuku shakes his head.

"You should give it to someone else with a more useful quirk, since you said it's a stockpiling power. People with quirks are pretty much stronger than people without quirks, even if I try my best there's no way I can catch up to Kacchan even if I tried and even if he's not actually using his quirk, seriously, just give it to someone else more capable." Toshinori sighs, nodding.

"I see... very well then, do you want to get ice cream instead?"

"Yes please."
