Work Text:
Christmas Break lasted one too many days in Denki’s humble and confident opinion.
Everybody besides Denki and Tokoyami went home to see their families for the Holiday. Tokoyami didn’t go because his family was out of the country and Denki didn’t go simply because his family was unbearable. He somehow didn’t wrap his head around the fact that he would be alone without his best friends and partners for 2 weeks until each of them came home.
Tokoyami was good company, sure. He reminded Denki vaguely of a weird mixture between Hitoshi and Hanta, but the birdman preferred to keep to himself. Denki respected that for the most part. He did get antsy though.
And he also started counting down the days until the first arrival home: Katsuki.
He, unlike the rest, had to come home early due to his parents having to leave right after New Years. He sounded a mixture of annoyed and relieved somehow, but Denki would grill him about it later. Right now, he anxiously sat at the window, glancing up from his phone every few moments to see if his boyfriend was here yet.
It felt like years until the bus pulled into the school. Denki’s face lit up and he jumped up from his seat on the windowsill, rushing towards the front door.
When he reached it, it was already being pulled open.
Denki hardly got a look at Katsuki’s irritated expression and hair full of snowflakes before he was flinging himself at the other blond.
“Kat!” Denki squealed, nuzzling his face and nose against Katsuki’s jacket. It smelt like him. If Denki could purr, he would’ve.
“Jesus Christ!” Katsuki exclaimed. “Let me put my fucking bags down at least, clingy bitch—,”
Denki’s smile hurt. Katsuki could pretend to be edgy and unwanting of affection, but his texts towards his partners all break would say otherwise.
“No. I missed you.” Denki mumbled into Katsuki’s coat, voice muffled. “How was home?”
“If you let me put my shit away, then you can ask questions. Idiot.” Katsuki nudged Denki away softly with his knee because of the two suitcases in his hands.
Denki blinked up at Katsuki. Then he nodded. “Okay. What’d you get for Christmas? I know you sent us pictures of some things but not everything—,”
“What the fuck did I just say?”
“Oh! Oops. Right.” Denki scrunched his nose and smiled. “Do you want hot chocolate? You look cold.”
“No.”
“Okay! Hurry up!”

“—I guess they were as annoying as usual.” Katsuki continued his rant about his parents from where the two of them laid in Katsuki’s room, safe from the world under two blankets, Denki’s head laying against his boyfriend’s chest. “So fuckin’ demanding. And Deku’s all like ‘ they mean well ’, but he doesn’t deal with them.”
“I know.” Denki mumbled softly, placing a gentle kiss upon Katsuki’s chest. “I’m sorry. Did you have some fun at least?”
“I guess.” He paused. “They aren’t all that bad. I wish I could’ve brought you though.”
Denki grinned. “That’s super soft.”
“Shut the fuck up.”
“No! It’s cute!” Denki gushed. “I wish I could’ve come too! But explaining our relationship to your parents would be insane.”
“Mm. I’m not looking forward to that shit.”
“Me neither. At least we got Hanta’s out of the way! And ‘Toshi’s!”
“Hanta’s parents are stoners and Hitoshi’s parents are our teachers who we are forced to see. That’s different.”
“Shh. It’s an accomplishment.” Denki smoothed out a few wrinkles on Katsuki’s shirt. “I missed you.”
Katsuki stayed silent for a moment. Either he was processing the words or he was blushing (or both). Denki wasn’t sure, but after dating the boy for 2 years he has learned that Katsuki takes the longest to emotionally comprehend anything good.
Katsuki pulled Denki closer, making the smaller bury his face into Katsuki’s shoulder. He inhaled deeply. “I missed you too. Idiot.”
Denki grinned. He pressed a kiss against Katsuki’s neck before nuzzling it with his nose. “Why’d you have to add idiot for?”
“‘Cause you are.”
“Pssh. Dick!”

“I don’t understand how you can find a farming simulator exciting at all.” Katsuki mumbled a few days later. He laid with an arm over his head as Denki played on Mina’s switch. She gave it to him before she left, wanting to make sure he had plenty of things to do…which is unfairly adorable.
“It’s more than farming!” Denki poked Katsuki with his toe. “You can mine and get married and own animals — oh, can I show you my farm?”
“No.”
“ Pleaseeeee ? Please, please, please?”
“No.”
“Pleaaaaaaaa—,”
Denki’s begs were cut off by a loud knock on Katsuki’s door. The two shared an equally confused look.
Since Katsuki arrived, a lot of other classmates did too, so it could be anyone.
Denki clicked his Switch off and stumbled off of the bed, making his way to the door. He didn’t have any pants on - didn’t care - but Katsuki made him stop.
“Don’t you fucking dare open that door without any pants on.”
“You know,” Denki grabbed a throw blanket Hitoshi gave him for Christmas, “For a guy who has to share me with 4 other people, you sure are possessive.”
Denki wrapped the blanket around his body as Katsuki grumbled out a ‘shut the fuck up’.
Denki pulled the door open.
He gasped.
“Ei?”
Katsuki’s head whipped up. “The fuck?”
“Surprise!” Eijirou exclaimed. Denki could’ve melted at his voice. “I wanted to surprise you guys! Did it work?”
“If I knew you were coming I would’ve waited at the door!” Denki whined, throwing himself at his boyfriend with no further warning.
Eijirou laughed, loud and elated. “You’re like a dog!”
“I just missed you!”
“He’s been sulking all day about it.” Katsuki grunted. The boy stood from his bed, hands on the pockets of his sweats as he made his way towards his two other partners. Denki pulled away from the hug, relishing in the way Katsuki’s everything softened at the sight of their other boyfriend. “Was the trip okay?”
“Oh, yeah! Super long ride though. I think I was excited.” Eijirou’s arms flew open. Katsuki’s reaction time wasn’t fast enough because Eijirou was pulling him into a bruising hug, arms forced downward.
The blond still tried to wrap his arms around Eijirou though. “You’re stupid.”
“Wow, man!”
“He said that to me too.” Denki giggled. Over Katsuki’s shoulder, Denki pressed a soft kiss to Eijirou’s lips. He checked the time. 4:34pm. “Naptime?”
“Yes, please!”

Denki jolted awake as the door to Katsuki’s room slammed open, hitting the wall with a loud ‘bang!’. He was positioned, warm and comfortable, between Katsuki and Eijirou, both of which jumped and jolted awake at the sudden sound as well.
An explosion released from Katsuki’s hands out of habit, causing Denki to squeak and Eijirou to sleepily cover the smaller ones face with his hand - another habit.
“Oh! You were asleep!”
Mina’s voice made Denki wake up instantly.
“Sorry! I was wondering why you weren’t answering in the group chat, just assumed you were busy havin’ sex or something. Would’ve been quieter otherwise.” Mina closed the door behind her with her foot. Her bright smile flooded Denki’s heart with warmth.
“Shit, what time is it?” Katsuki grumbled. He closed his eyes once more, acting uninterested, but Denki could feel him relax yet feel his heart rate pick up at the same time.
“Like, 11:30. It was such a long bus ride home. Make room.” Mina crawled into the bed between Eijirou and Denki. She didn’t waste any time with pressing a dramatic, loud kiss to each of her boyfriend’s lips. “I’m just glad to be back in bed.”
“There’s no fucking room.” Katsuki growled. Denki giggled.
Unfortunately, their dorm rooms really only could fit a twin sized bed. They tried to make do by sleeping sideways, but they absolutely were not doing that right now.
“I’m falling off.” Eijirou squeaked.
Mina snorted, “Let’s move around then.”
“ Fuck no.”
“Yes! I wanna cuddle. I missed you guys.” Mina whined.
“We missed you too.” Denki nuzzled her neck. She nuzzled into the top of his hair in return.
“We so did!” Eijirou agreed loudly.
“Move around.” Katsuki grumbled, his personal way of saying ‘I missed you too’.
The four scooted their positions so they were laying with their legs dangling off of the bed. Denki and Mina both pulled their legs close to their chests. Katsuki and Eijirou didn’t.
Once they were situated, Mina spoke. “So did you guys have sex yet or are we waiting—,”
“ How ,” Katsuki begun. “Are you always horny?”
“It’s a gift.”
“We’re waiting!”
“Cool. I’m excited.”
“Me too.”

Hitoshi, along with Aizawa (who went home for the holidays, meaning Tokoyami and Denki got occasional trips from Principal Nezu) and Present Mic returned the following day at 12pm.
The four were anticipating it this time, all a bundle of excitement in their own ways.
When Hitoshi entered the common room looking as tired as when he left, Eijirou was the first to jump up and envelope him into a bone crushing hug.
“Jesus,” Hitoshi grunted. He hugged Eijirou back, laying his head into the crook of his boyfriend's neck. “You’re acting like I died.”
Denki, Mina, and Katsuki all stood up and made their way over, Denki with a peppy jump in his step. “Knowing these guys, you just as well should’ve.” Katsuki grunted. He pulled Hitoshi into a hug next. Out of everybody in their relationship and despite their constant bickering, for some reason Katauki is most comfortable showing affection towards Hitoshi. Denki isn’t sure why, but it’s cute nonetheless.
“They’re just dramatic.” Hitoshi whispered. He kissed Katsuki’s temple, something you would’ve missed if you weren’t looking.
“Me hug now!” Mina demanded. Katsuki pulled away and Mina flung herself into Hitoshi’s arms, pecking around his face despite her dark pink lipstick.
Denki giggled as the colour showed up on their boyfriend’s skin.
“Okay! You’re worse than a dog, I swear—,”
“I just love you.” Mina nuzzled her nose against Hitoshi’s. “Your nose is so cold.”
“Yes, well I was just outside.”
“Still—,”
Denki ducked underneath Mina’s arms, wrapping his own around Hitoshi’s waist. Mina gasped and stumbled away with a tsk, playfully grumbling ‘attention whore’ which earned her a slap from Katsuki.
“Oh. Hey, Kitten.” Hitoshi ran his hand through Denki’s hair.
“I missed you.”
“I missed you too. All of you.”
“Awww!” Mina gushed. “Toshi~~!”
“Shut up Mina. God, you’re so embarrassing.” Katsuki huffed.
“Babe, be nice!” Eijirou poked Katsuki’s side.
“Yeah babe, be nice.” Mina mocked.
She squealed and bent down to avoid the blast Katsuki sent towards her.

Hanta was the last to show up but definitely not the least.
Mina spent the last of the day counting down the hours and minutes until Hanta would show up at 7pm. The group made sure to have his food cooked and waiting for him as well. It was cold out, snowing, and generally unpleasant. They wanted to make the welcome home good.
At least somewhat.
“Holy shit. You look freezing.” Katsuki said as soon as Hanta entered through the door.
His boyfriend sent him a displeased expression, cheeks flushed bright red as his body shivered. “It’s -15 out.”
“Baby!” Mina whined. Despite the dampness of Hanta’s clothes, she threw herself into him. “You’re an ice cube!”
“We have food waiting.” Eijirou said, placing a soft kiss on Hanta’s lips as he took the boy’s luggage. “Kat made it. Denki bought hot cocoa too.”
“I did.” Denki beamed. He clinged to Hanta too, hugging him tightly.
One by one, the rest of the boyfriends kissed Hanta and ushered him into the kitchen.
Nobody else was there, so Hitoshi warmed up Hanta’s food. He then turned to face him. “How was your break?”
“ Good . Good.” Hanta shrugged his jacket off despite still shivering violently. Denki and Mina attached themselves back to his side when he finished. “They’re still super upset they couldn’t let Denki over.”
“They live in a camper, Han.” Denki laughed, “It’s okay. I’ll beg Aizawa Sensei next time.”
“Papa would let you,” Hitoshi opened the microwave. “ Dad however…doesn’t want us sleeping in the same room and we don’t have an extra.”
“Does he think we’re virgins?” Denki mumbled. Eijirou handed Hanta chopsticks as Hitoshi gave him his food. “There’s 6 of us.”
“I don’t know what he thinks.” Hitoshi laughed breathlessly.
“He’s a dumbass.”
“‘Suki! That is your teacher —,” Mina scolded. She reached a finger into Hanta’s food, grabbing a noodle and slurping it into her mouth.
Hanta didn’t even blink.
“Don’t care.” Katsuki said. “Now, how the fuck do I make hot chocolate?”
Eijirou blinked at his temperamental boyfriend. “How do you not know how to make hot chocolate…?”
“Because I don’t need it? I’m a fucking human furnace, dumbass—,”
“That’s true!” Denki gasped. “Why are Mina and I freezing ourselves in an attempt to be a saviour when you’re right there—?”
“Because you’re both stupid.”
Hitoshi tsked, pinching Katsuki’s forearm gently. “Be nice.”
“I would literally rather die.”
“Kat is grumpy.” Mina cooed, pouting deeply and playfully at her boyfriend. “Are you tired?”
Katsuki sent her a deadpan expression. “I’m leaving you.”
“Yeah right!” Mina cackled. She bounced from her seat, skipping towards Katsuki in confident steps. She wrapped her arms tightly around him.
Explosions went off in Katsuki’s hands but he didn’t do anything to aim them at her. He never would. Despite his whole ‘if we all date, it will never get in the way of me being a hero’ speech, even them training in class takes a huge role on Katsuki.
(For example, Katsuki landing an explosion on Hanta that the black haired boy was too slow to dodge. Katsuki never left his side.)
Mina planted a large kiss on Katsuki’s cheek. He turned red but the explosions in his hands fizzled. “I love you, Kat.”
Katsuki pursed his lips. “Whatever.”
“Wha—say it back, meanie!”
Katsuki glared down at Mina. Then, “Whatever. I love you too. Fuck off.”
“Awww.” Denki cooed loudly. He stole Hanta’s chopsticks from the boy’s hands and ate some of his food. Hanta didn’t care. He was one of the only people in their relationship without hella food aggression besides Denki himself (which everyone takes advantage of).
“I love you guys, man!” Eijirou exclaimed, tears welling up in his eyes.
Hitoshi snorted. He grabbed the milk to begin preparing the hot chocolate as his other partners bickered animatedly.
“Me too!” Denki chirped, “My favourite people!”
“The only people who tolerate you.”
“Katsuki, be nice.” Hitoshi shook his head softly. “Everyone likes Denki. That’s why we’re lucky.”
Denki flushed. “‘Toshi…!”
“That’s true.” Hanta kissed Denki’s forehead. Denki turned redder.
“You’re all too soft.”
“For you, yes.” Mina cooed. She finally released her hold on Katsuki who looked visibly irritated that she did. Denki mentally filed away the fact that he is indeed sleepy, and that they should all definitely have a movie night tonight.
Denki hid his face in his hands with a high pitched giggle. “You guys!”
When Hitoshi was finished with the hot chocolate, he placed it in front of Hanta. He thanked his boyfriend softly before taking a tentative sip.
Mina spoke from where she stood now attached to the side of Eijirou, “Can we please all have sex now?”
Hanta froze. Denki snorted.
“Mina! You can’t say that so loudly!” Eijirou flushed.
“Why not ? I’m a woman with needs!”
Katsuki pursed his lips and shrugged. “Whatever. We can. I’m fucking Denki though.”
Denki blinked, wide eyed. “Oh.” Then, “S…should we go upstairs, then?”
Mina laughed loudly, “Whore!”
“Says you !”
