The bell of the small coffee shop dinged, indicating that Hizashi Yamada had a customer.

The blonde, that had been previously snoozing on the store's counter, bolted awake at the sound of the bell.

"Good morning, welcome to HuggaMugg, what can I get for you" he said adjusting his glasses to see his close friend, Shota Aizawa.

He wore his school uniform, and the ever so slightest smirk on his lips, as he saw his close friend in job mode.

"Oh, hey Shota! I've got your order right here!" He said with a new boost of energy upon seeing his friend.

He took a coffee cup that had been placed next to the register and held it out to Shota.

Shota took it, slightly bumping there hands together as he inspected the name on the paper cup, "This is labeled, 'babe' Hizashi" he said looking at the blonde, "with a heart"

"No, duh it's for you, silly!" He said taking off his apron, revealing his school uniform.

Shota sighed and placed a crumbled bill on the counter, "Don't call me babe"

"Why not?" Hizashi asked opening the register and placing the bill inside, "what are we then?" he closed the register and walked to the other side as both boys exited the shop.

There were no hidden feelings between them, at least not anymore.

It was a little over a week ago that their kiss under the umbrella happened.

Shota felt like it was straight out of a story book.
Hizashi felt like it was straight out of a movie.

But both felt like they had taken a huge weight off their shoulders. Hizashi seemed more happy than usual, while Shota manged to crack a smile every once in a while when Hizashi held his hand or hugged him from behind.

But nothing more was spoken between the two, no plans of dates nor going in public as an official couple.

Shota just shrugged at Hizashi's question. He couldn't help it, he was hopelessly in love with the him, but he was afraid that Hizashi's feelings were only temporary, and that he'd move on with someone else in the future.

"How much more money do you need, anyway" he changed the subject.

"I'm almost there!" Hizashi said with an enthusiastic smile, "I'll be able to buy them with my next pay check at the end of the week!"

Shota rolled his eyes and shook his head, "you idiot! Remind me again why you need to buy 200 dollar glasses?"

Hizashi gave a small laugh, he didn't mind at all being called an idiot by Shota, in fact he loved the nickname.

And he has officially diagnosed himself as a love sick child who is hopelessly in love with Shota. He wants to desperately kiss him again, say I love you and go out with him, but he didn't want to pressure Shota into it, he didn't want to scare him away, he loved him too much to lose him.

"There 200 hundred dollars cause there custom made prescription glasses! I won't need to wear these basic boring black ones no more!"
Then he added "plus, they'll make me look cool and I'll be able to hang out with the popular kids!" He said, his hand lingered near Shota's, "they'll actually like me, Shota!" the countless memories of being shoved in a locker by Nemuri Kayama, or being teased and called names by Enji Todoroki came to his mind.

"Hizashi you don't need to be popular" Aizawa simply stated, looking away as he interlocked their hands.

A slight blush appeared across Hizashi's face.

"You don't need them to like you, Hizashi," Shota said, he's voice was soft, "cause I do..." He hesitated, before his heart gave in, "I love you"

An ear piercing scream broke the silence of the street.

Shota let go of Hizashi's hand and covered his ears, "agh! What the heck, Yamada!"

"OH MY GOSH I'M SO SORRY!" He quickly apologized and embraced Shota in a bone crushing hug, "I LOVE YOU TOO, BABE!"

Aizawa released himself from the hug and smashed his lips against Hizashi's, just like he's been craving to do since their umbrella kiss.

The kiss lasted half a minute, before Shota pulled apart, ever so slightly, their faces still centimeters apart, "don't call me babe" was all he said before continuing there walk to school.

Hizashi was left standing, in shock, for a split second before a huge smile spread on his face and he skipped next to Shota for the rest of the way to school.

××××××××××1 week later××××××××××

Nothing changed between the two, there was still not a single, "go out with me?"

But there were secret kiss and "I love you's" from both of them.

It was more from Hizashi than, Shota. Hizashi would hold his hand and give him hugs, just like he usually did.

"OH, SHOTA! COME CHECK IT OUT, BABE!" was how Shota woke up one morning.

He groaned and rolled out of bed, wishing he could just attend school in sweatpants. He changed quickly and left the house to see his... well, his... boyfriend? No, they haven't even been on a date, but he wanted to be his boyfriend, he wanted to be together with him.

A small tint of red appeared in Shota's cheeks as he thought about the subject.

"GOOOOOOOOD MORNING, SHOTA AIZAWA!" Hizashi said loudly, placing a hand on his brand new glasses.

The rim was thin and white, and the lens were triangles and a nice shade of tangerine orange.

He moved them up on top of his head revealing his bright beautiful green eyes that Shota loved, "what da ya think?" He put them back down on his face, striking a pose.

"Charming" Shota replied walking past Hizashi.

"As in Prince Charming?" Hizashi asked ecstatically catching up to Shota, grabbing his hand and swinging their hands back and forth, bringing the smallest smile on Shota's lips.

"Sure" He said turning to place a quick peck on Hizashi's cheek making it burn pink, "but I already told you, you don't need to be popular"

"But, I'll finally be able to hang out with the cool kids, Shota!" He said.

"You don't need to be a cool kid, Hizashi!" He said letting go of his hand.

"But, then Kayama and Todoroki will stop calling me names and shoving me into lockers!" He said, "They've never picked on you, that's why you don't care about me being popular!"

"If I didn't care about you then I wouldn't have woken up at the crack of dawn to meet with you every day!" He snapped walking faster, "and you think I've never been picked on? I've told you before! I've told about the names I was called for having this-- this villian quirk!"

Hizashi stayed quiet as he walked behind Shota.

"I'm sorry" he said biting his lip, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, babe" he was nervous with glossy eyes hidden behind the glasses.

Shota stopped walking and looked back at him.

Hizashi was standing fidgeting with his hands, looking up at him.

Damn why was he so cute... he can't stay mad at him.

Shota walked up to him and took the glasses off revealing his green eyes... doing puppy dog eyes to top it all off.

"I'm sorry too, maybe I shouldn't have said it so harshly," he said, "I do care about you... a lot"

Hizashi gave beautiful smile and wrapped his arms around Shota's waist, "aw, babe we just had our first fight!" He cried out.

"Hizashi, were not even dating" Shota said, not returning the hug, although he loved the feeling of Hizashi's arms around him.

"What are we then?"
××××××××××
"HEY GUYS! CHECK OUT MY NEW GLASSES!" Shota heard as he neared the lockers.

"There stupid! Oh wait, were we supposed to LIKE them?"

Shota walked faster.

"I don't know, Todoroki-kun, I kinda like them"

"REALLY!" He could hear Hizashi smile.

"Well I don't!"

Shota heard something clash against the lockers.

He turned the corner and saw Todoroki's large fist holding Hizashi against the lockers, with his quirk half activated. The glasses were missing on Hizashi's face, they were on the floor, broken to pieces.

The 200 hundred dollar glasses that Hizashi worked nights shifts and still came to school with perfect grades, broken in less than a day.

It made Shota fill up with anger, that they hurt the love of his life, "Todoroki let him go, you asshole!"

That made Todoroki look at him, just like Shota wanted.

His hair flew up and his eyes turned red as he activated his quirk.

Todoroki's hand extinguished as he let Hizashi go and yelled, "oh look, your boyfriend had to come save you, nerd!"

Hizashi whimpered loudly as Todoroki stomped on his hand.

"DON'T HURT HIM!" Shota ran up to Todoroki, ducking as a giant fist swung, then hit Todoroki in the back of his knees making him buck down to the floor.

"Run Hizashi!" He said as punched Todoroki in his jaw, then held his hands and looked straight into his eyes, his own eyes glowing red, "don't ever hit Hizashi, ever again, you got it?"

Todoroki struggled against his grip, but successfully head-butted Shota, then he rolled over pinning Shota to the floor as he head-butted him again.

He stood up and pressed his foot on Shota's chest, the weight making it difficult for Shota to breathe, "or what? Huh? What are you going to do about it?"

Shota saw a pink smoke in the air and held his breath, before Todoroki's weight fell on him, crushing him.

He threw the unconscious bully off him, and took a breath of air as the pink smoke disappeared, and someone offered their hand to pull him up.

He didn't take it however, "I didn't need your help, Kayama" he said as he got to his knees, and collected the broken pieces of the glasses.

"Don't tell me you planned on taking on 'The Flame Hero'" she did quotations in the air with her hands, "all by yourself?"

"I was fine by myself" he said getting up from the floor.

"Here, gimme those, I'll take them to Maijima to fix, go with Yamada, I'll take care of this mess." she gestured towards Todoroki.

"Do you really like the glasses?" Shota said looking down at the broken parts in his hands.

"Of course! If they were hideous I wouldn't even bother to get them fixed!" She laughed.

"And you'll give them back to him?" Shota said before giving the pieces to Kayama.

She gave him a smile and nodded, "come find me near the Development Studio, when you want them back!"

He nodded and ran off following the loud echoey sobs that rang through out the halls.
××××××××
Shota ran through the hallways twice before hearing a loud bang.

The hallway was empty though, he slowly walked down the corridor, and stopped right in front of Hizashi's locker.

A small sniffle came from it then a loud, "go away, Aizawa"

Shota opened the locker, to reveal Hizashi shoved inside with puffy red eyes and tear stains down his red cheeks.

Seeing him like that made Shota feel like fighting Todoroki again, and never leaving Hizashi's side, he wanted to be there for the rest of his life, to protect, care and love him, "I'm not going anywhere" He stated and pulled Hizashi out of the locker and into a hug.

The roles from this morning were reversed as Shota's hands pulled Hizashi's waist closer, Hizashi rested his head on Shota's shoulder and after a few minutes returned the hug.

Then fresh tears spilled from Hizashi's eyes, "I-I-I thought--"

"Shh" Shota soothed his back, "it's ok... babe" he knew that would cheer him up.

Hizashi gave him a tight squeeze before parting, just enough to kiss his lips.

Shota broke the kiss, "you're the most popular and coolest person I know," then he decided that to make his statement official, "d-do you want to go out with me?" he blushed and looked away.

Hizashi tucked a strand of Shota's hair behind his ear, making Shota look at him, "are you kidding me! All it took was to get my 200 dollars glasses broken for you to ask me out?" he gave a wide smile, "yes, of course I want to go out with you, babe!"

This brought a smirk to Shota's lips, "don't call me babe" he said as Hizashi released him and grabbed his hand.

"We need to stop by the Development Studio real quick" he said walking in that direction.

"So... babe?" Hizashi asked.

"Mhm?" Shota hummed.

"What does this make us?" He said with a cheeky smile, "what are we, babe?"

Shota turned around sharply, his hair floating up and his eyes turning red as he locked eyes with Hizashi's green ones.

"I'm your fucking boyfriend, you idiot!" He said, his hair and eyes going back to normal as he dragged behind a shocked Hizashi, who was mumbling nonsense with a goofy smile.

**Extra!**

"So I'm your boyfriend?"

"Yeah"

"And your my boyfriend?"

"Yes, that's how it works"

"And you love me?"

"Unfortunately"

"And I love you?"

"I hope so"

"Aw, that's the sweetest thing you've said to me, babe" Hizashi's eyes were basically filled with hearts as they arrived at the Development Studio.

"Hey you two!" Kayama said walking up to them, "Yamada, right?" She held out his glasses, "I love your glasses! There so chic!"

"You fixed them, thanks!" He exclaimed taking them and placing them on his face, "how do I look?" He said striking a pose.

"Very cool!" She giggled, "how's it you sit with me and the others during lunch tommorow? Oh, and Todoroki won't be there, I dumped him" she examined her nails, "you won't be seeing any more of him"

"I'D LOVE TO!" Hizashi said loudly, and looked at Shota, "can Shota come too?"

"I really don't--"

"If he fixes that gorgeous hair of his then yeah, he can join us as well!" She smiled, "I'll see you two tomorrow then!"

Hizashi waved and waited till she was out of sight to happily yell, "DID YOU HEAR THAT BABE? SHE SAID I'M COOL!" He exclaimed with a wide smile.

"Yes, I'm sure even Australia heard you, babe" Shota said with a small smile as Hizashi danced around excitedly.

"You should stay over at my house today, Shota!" Hizashi said as they exited the school building.

"And why would I do that?" He said, moving a strand of hair out of his face.

"You heard Kayama! I need to do something with that gorgeous hair of yours!" Then he gave an excited squeal, "I'VE GOT CAT CLIPS...your gonna love them!"

"What the fuck are cat clips?" Shota wondered.

"Come stay at my house and you'll see!" He said in a sing song voice.

Shota sighed in defeat, "fine"

"YAY!" He happily jumped up and down, then held Shota's hand, swinging it back and forth, making Shota smile.

Shota's agreement had nothing to do with the cat clips, but with the fact that he'd get to cuddle with Hizashi that night.
