Katsuki's POV:

We're on the couch watching Ant Man, and I'm next to Shoto with his arm on my shoulder. It's kind of hard to enjoy the movie when I know my mom has been texting me. She texted me earlier when we were coming downstairs, so that's why I took a while upstairs. She was very upset. She told me that I was really in for it when I got back home. I dreaded the end of the weekend. At least I had until Monday after school until I had any punishments.

After a while, the movie finally finishes, and we're all very tired so we decide to head to the rooms. "I have to wake up early, so I'll see you guys tomorrow at around noon," Izuku says. Me and Shoto nod. Izuku says goodnight and heads to his room. Me and Shoto are stretching and when he lifts his hands over his head, his shirt rides up a bit. I can see his abs for a split second before he stops stretching. We're still wearing the clothes we put on in the lockers. We then walk upstairs and head into the room.

When I walk in, I walk towards my bag and pick it up. I walk to the restroom and Shoto just has a questioning look on his face. "I'm gonna go change in the restroom, I'll be back in a bit." When I close the room door, I dash into the restroom. I take out my phone and see that I have 24 texts from my mom. They say things like "dumbass" "Idiot" "Useless" "Faggot" "Disappointment". You know, the usual. I turn off my phone and take out some comfortable pants and a long sleeve. I think about cutting before telling myself that Shoto would ask why I took so long.

If that happened, it would be hard to not tell him. So, I just leave and walk towards the room. Before I enter, I knock just to make sure he's done changing. He just opens the door and I see that he's in a T-shirt and some pajama pants. When I walk into the room I put down my bag and realize that there's only one bed. Izuku is already asleep, so we wouldn't be able to ask him for an extra inflatable bed or something. "Uhm, I'll be at the edge of the bed," I tell him. He just nods. "Hey why were you so nervous when you checked your phone earlier?"

I just play it off and say, "I just forgot to tell my mom that the sleepover was all weekend and not just today." I think I played it off pretty well and he just nods hesitantly. "You can tell me about your problems Katsuki, I won't judge you," he says while getting under the covers. I walk towards the bed and say, "Thank you Shoto, I appreciate it." I'm so exhausted from today.

I wait for him to get into bed because I'm taking the edge. He notices that I'm waiting so he grabs his phone and scoots further into the bed. I turn off the lights and get under the covers too. I have my phone in my pocket, so I take it out and check it. I see that Kirishima texted me. His text says 'Hey Bakubro, I know you said you had plans, so do you wanna hang out next Friday?' I really do miss hanging out with them. I just started taking what they said seriously, even if I knew they were joking. I miss them so I'll go. 'Sure whatever' I respond.

I turn my phone off and let out a sigh. Shoto is on his phone and after a while he turns his off. I'm looking up at the ceiling and have my left arm hanging off the bed and my right one is on my stomach. "Hey do you think that it would be fun if Kirishima and the others joined us tomorrow?" Shoto asks out of nowhere. "Um, do you think Deku would mind?" I ask him. He thinks about it for a second before responding, "I don't think so, he likes everyone from the class. Do you think Kirishima and the others would come?"

"Yeah you're right about Deku being friends with everyone. I do think they'd come over though. We'll just ask him tomorrow when he gets back," I say. He hums in agreement. It's like 1 a.m. now so we're pretty tired. "Goodnight Katsuki," I hear before he turns his back to me and faces the wall. Eeeee I'm in the same bed as Shoto and we're gonna sleep next to each other. Ahhhhhh! I need to stop thinking like this. If anyone knew that this is what goes through my head, I'd be ridiculed.

"Goodnight Shoto," I reply. I'm tired, so I should try falling asleep too. I close my eyes and try to go to sleep. After a what seems like an hour or two, I fall asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up, but I'm in my room. It's dark, but I can make out my dresser and where the door is. I get up and open the door only to see that the kitchen light is on. I walk towards it and see my mom there. I stay still and make sure that she doesn't see me. She's looking in the fridge and if she sensed my presence, she turns to me and looks me straight in the eye. I completely freeze up as she walks towards me with this angry look on her face. "What are you doing up you disgrace! No one wants you here! Leave! You little brat! You're so ugly and dumb, why are you still here!?" She yells. She's right at my face and she lifts up her arm to throw a punch, but right before she makes contact with my face-

I wake up in a panic, only to see that I'm still in Izuku's guest room and it's still dark outside. I sit up and see that Shoto is still asleep. At least I didn't wake him up. His hair is kind of messy and he's laying on his back now. He's a very good-looking person. I go to move some of the hair off of his face, so that I can see it better. He stirs a bit and when I'm closer to him, I can feel his warmth and I can also smell him. Oh, that sounds weird Katsuki, don't say that.

I check my phone and see that it's 6:22. Ugh I maybe got 4 hours of sleep. I should try to go back to sleep. I lay back down and try to go back to sleep, but I keep replaying my mother's words over and over in my head. I let out a shaky sigh as I'm trying not to cry. Shoto turns and puts his arm over me. I stiffen up, thinking that he's awake. I turn and see that he's still asleep. All the other thoughts go away as I think awww he's so adorable. I sigh again and get closer to him. Why not? I close my eyes and manage to fall asleep again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wake up to rustling. I open my eyes and see Shoto, with an embarrassed look on his face, trying to get out of my grip. I'm hugging him, I realize, so I open my eyes in shock and let go. I didn't mean for him to wake up before me, I was going to scooch away from him before he even knew.

Whoops.

I'm red and so is he. "Um, what time is it?" I ask. He takes out his phone and says, "It's 9:18." I nod, still embarrassed. At least he didn't wake up last night when I had that nightmare.

"Midoriya texted me that we could make breakfast if we wanted to, just to clean up our mess," Shoto says.

"Okay, let's just go to the restroom and brush out teeth and stuff."

He nods in agreement and grabs his bag. He's headed for the guest restroom. "I'll take the one downstairs since I know where it is," I say. "Okay Katsuki." He continues walking and I see that his bed hair is worse.

I giggle.

Wait giggle?? AGGHHH! In front of Shoto. Way to go Katsuki you dumbass.

He turns around with this smile on his face. "What was that?" He asks.

I turn red and say, "You're hair. It's um, kind of, um, a mess." I try not to laugh again. "Your laugh, or should I say giggle, was cute." He says smugly before walking out. He left me there dumbfounded and with a face as red as a tomato.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We're putting away the dishes that we used to make food and eat. I actually ate. It's because of Shoto, I can't have him knowing that I'm a freak with a small eating disorder. Breakfast was really good and it's almost eleven now. Izuku should be getting here at around 1, and we can ask him then if it was cool to ask some people over to the sleepover. After the thing where I giggled earlier, me and Shoto had only talked about what to eat for breakfast. He's drying the dishes and I'm putting them away when he speaks up.

"Hey you wanna talk about whatever is going on in your life?" He's so blunt.

"Um, what do you mean?" I ask. He dries the last dish before looking at me like 'really you're gonna act dumb'.

I look around nervously and say, "Um, I- Um-"

"Hey you don't have to tell me anything, it's just that if you do have anything you want to talk about, just know that I'm here and I will listen. No matter how small the problem may seem. I'll be here for you Katsuki." He's so great. I don't know why he's being so nice to me. I'm the biggest ass in the class and I suck. He could befriend anyone, so why'd he choose me?

"Thank you Shoto, you've really helped me. I'll tell you about my problems, but later. I just want to chill for a bit." He nods and says, "Yeah, some time to relax would be very enjoyable." I chuckle at his choice of words. We head to the couch and watch a movie before Izuku comes back so that we can ask him about inviting some others to the sleepover.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Izuku finally comes back and when he walks in me and Shoto look at each other and then he asks, "Hey Midoriya, do you think it would be fine to invite Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, and Mina?" Izuku thinks about it and then gets this look of pure joy on his face. How does he do that so easily? It seems so effortless, but it's so real. I'm jealous. I sigh. "Yeah! That would be so fun! I could also invite Iida and Uraraka! Good idea guys. Let me go invite Iida and Uraraka while you guys invite the rest." We nod and he runs to his mom to ask permission just in case. She says yes, and once we get the go-ahead, we start inviting.

I text Kirishima first.

Me- Hey, Shitty Hair, are you free?

Kirishima- My hair isn't all that different than yours!!! And yes I am, why?

Me- Deku is having a sleep over and we wanted more people over so we can hang out.

Kirishima- YEAH! I'm free, what time should I head over there?

Me- Start heading over here like at 4 and tell Kaminari, Mina, and Sero.

Kirishima- Will do! See you later bro.

I look up and see that Izuku is getting mattresses ready and putting them in his room and in the guest room. Me and Shoto help him out and he starts getting snacks. We don't open any bags of chips yet since it's barely 3 and we might not even eat any chips until around 7 or 8. Who knows, maybe at around 5 Kaminari will start chowing down on them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At around 4:10, people start showing up. The first person to arrive is Iida. Then Kirishima and so on. By 5, everyone is here, and so we go upstairs to Izuku's room to play some games. We start with Truth or Dare. Of course because no one ever plays this game at sleepovers. We start with Izuku and he asks Uraraka. She picks dare, and so she has to call her mom and tell her that she's scared and that she wants to go home. Not very extreme, but it was quite funny hearing her mom freak for like 10 seconds.

Then Uraraka asks Mina. "Dare," She says. "Hmmm, okay, I dare you to eat a Jalapeno." Izuku runs downstairs and comes back with the spicy green thing. Mina takes it and eats it no problem. "Tch what? How can you eat that so easily?" Uraraka asks. "My family is always making salsa and stuff like that. Also my favorite chips are Turbos, Takis, and these Habanero chips from Mexico." Uraraka sighs and nods. Mina then goes to Shoto.

"Truth or Dare Todoroki?"

He thinks for a second before saying, "Truth."

Mina then asks, "If you have a crush, are they in this room?"

He's taken aback before nodding. Is it her or Uraraka? He doesn't seem into dudes or anything, so I don't think it's a guy. I can't say for sure though, so it could be Izuku. Shoto then chooses Sero, who chooses truth. "Have you ever had a crush on someone in this room?" He nods and then chooses me. I pick dare. "I dare you to sit right next to Todoroki and side hug him for the rest of the game."

I look at Shoto and then at Sero and then say, "Tch whatever Tape Boy." I get up and go to Shoto. I sit next to him and give him a side hug. I keep it there and I see that his face is red and mine probably is too. Mina takes a couple of pictures and so does Kaminari and Kirishima. We stay like that for a while and then the game finally ends after what feels like an hour or two. I got used to sitting like this next to Shoto, so when we start talking about regular stuff, we stay like that.

"What are you guys gonna do for Halloween?" Kirishima asks. Everyone says that they weren't gonna do anything, so we all decide to hang out. Crap I'd have to ask Mother and I don't know what she'll say this time. I don't say anything, but I'm pretty sure Shoto felt me tense up. He just gave me a look and I have him an 'I don't wanna talk about it' look. He just nodded. Then we realized that I was still hugging him, and that sometime between the beginning of the dare to now, his arm had snaked around my waist too. We both blush and pull away. Awkward.

The rest of the weekend is really fun, and I dread Monday because I'd have to go back home to an extremely mad Mother. She didn't get to beat me all weekend, so I think she's definitely going to go to town on my body. But, I just enjoy the rest of the weekend and don't self harm once. The only nightmare I had was the one on Friday night, so thankfully no one noticed anything. Everyone, except Shoto, thinks I'm fine and I'm going to keep it like that for as long as possible.
