Chapter Text
Shota Aizawa wasnt one for socializing.
Sure he would when he had to, but for the most part he would keep his head down and avoid it all together. That was until he'd met Hizashi, no matter how hard he'd try he couldn't get him to leave him alone. He was.. persistent to say the least.
Which leads him to today, a year from the day they'd first met, the day the man clung to his side like if he'd left he'd never see him again.
And no matter how much he'd denied it, he enjoys his company, he's gotten him through the toughest times.
"So.. Shou.. what do you say?"
"I.." "you were zoned out again weren't you?"
That smile.. that goddamn smile..
"I asked if you wanted to hang out tonight, my place?"
"Uh.. yea, sure."
"Yo Hizashi! Shota! What're y'all taking about!"
He turned around to sees Oboro running towards them. he'd met him not long after Hizashi, and he, similarly to Hizashi, clung to him immediately. What was it about him that attracted the loudest people? opposite attract I guess.
"I was just asking Shou if he wanted to hang out tonight! Wanna join us?"
"Yea I'm down!" "Epic! My place!" "We should order pizza!" "Hell yea!"
He zoned them out as they made plans for the night, he doesn't mean to, just habit I guess. He'd looked at Hizashi, watching the way he'd smile and laugh, leaving a red tint in his cheeks.
"So Shou! How's that sound?" ... "Shou?" .. he got knocked out of his thoughts with Hisashi grabbing his shoulder.
"hm?" Oh God he was staring..
"You'd really oughta stop that"
"Sorry.."
"What are you even thinking about?" Oboro asked.
"Nothing.."
"Oh come on it has to be something! Look at your face your blushing!"
He'd quickly covered his cheeks. "I am not!"
"Oh you totally are! Isnt he Zashi?"
He'd covered his face further, covering his eyes. but then he felt hands on his, his hands tucked into the other's palms, being yanked to show his face. Opening his eyes he sees Hizashi inches away from him, Shou took a close look of that bright smile of his, his face turning an even darker shade of red.
"You totally are! Come on shou what were you thinkin' bout!"
"Nothing! I swear!"
"Then why are you blushing? Come on just tell us! We're best friends arent we?"
Right.. best friends.. that's it.
"Its nothing just drop it-"
Hizashi sighed and looked back at Oboro "So should we head to our own places and change or do you wanna get straight into it?"
"Let's just get straight into it! why wait? I have a change in my bag" Oboro smiled.
God these two are so bright.
"I should probably check in with my parents.."
"Cant you just call them?"
"I guess.."
With that, they started walking down to Hizashi's house,, Shoto got into his own head again.
Why do I keep thinking about him like that.. I shouldnt.. hes just so..
"Yo Shou you ok?" He looked up and met eyes with Hizashi.
"Uh.. yea." "You sure? You seem a bit out of it today? You need to talk?"
"I'm fine."
"Alright well I'm here if you change your mind!"
"Mhm" he turned his head to the floor, Hizashi wrapped an arm around his shoulders and they continued to walk.
Somewhere alone the way Nemuri ended up hanging out with them and before he knew it they were playing some stupid sleepover game.
"Shou you're up next!" He looked up from his phone.
"What're we playing?"
"Oh come on you weren't paying attention at all?" He looked at her and shrugged. "Just not too interested."
"Truth or dare!" ...
"Truth I guess.. if I have to."
"You do! And who would you miss in this room?" ... "this is stupid.."
"come on its hypothetical!" ..
"still stupid" "just answer the question!"
"If I had to I guess Zashi.."
"Aww really! Little ol' me?!"
"Shut up." "You're blushing!"
"This game is stupid." He hid in his hands.
"Ok well now it's your turn!" Hizashi patted his shoulder. "..fine, Oboro, truth or dare."
"Dare!"
"Talk in a whisper for the next 10 minutes"
"Easy!" Oboro wisper yelled.
"Uh-huh, sure."
"Ok Hizashi, truth or dare?"
"Bro I'm gonna be honest I can barely hear you-" "Hizashi he can barely be classified as whispering how can you not hear him?"
"I just cant!"
"You should get your ears checked"
"Yea.. My mom said the same thing, she thinks it's related to my quirk I guess" he shrugged, and leaned against the side of the couch.
"So why haven't you gotten it checked out?"
"I just don't wanna I guess"
"Zashi your gonna lose your hearing if you keep this up"
"Yea yea whatever, can we continue you game?"
"Ok, Zashi, truth or dare?"
"Uh, dare!"
Shota watched as he saw the smirk grow on his face. "Whatever your thinking I don't like it-"
Oboro got close enough for Hisashi to hear him "I dare you to kiss anyone in this room"
Hizashi's face turned a bright shade of red "Oh come on!"
"It's a dare you have to do it!"
Shota watched as he sees Oboro look over at Nemuri and winked.
Oh.. I see.
Hizashi sighed and turned to Shota, he leaned in and kissed him on the cheek. Shota's face turned bright red as he hides in his hands.
"Oh come on that's cheating!"
"You never said where! So no!"
"I also didn't say whoo~"
"Wha- it's not like that! I already said I could barely hear you!"
"But you can hear me fine fight now"
"Come on Zashi we see the way you look at him!" Nemuri chimes in. "You're in lovveee~"
"Guys I'm right here-"
"And what're you gonna say? You don't feel the same? Yea right!"
"Nemuri please can you not do this right now-" Hazashi asked.
"Agreed.."
"Okay, okay, but then you guys get together-"
"Nemuri-"
She rolled her eyes and leaned back on her hands.
Shota grabbed his phone to check the time. "guys it's getting late I should probably head out.."
"Already? It feels like we just started"
"I don't want my parents to get upset.."
Shota picked up his bag and flopped it around his shoulders while walking towards the door, his reach for the knob was interrupted when--
Ding dong
"pizzas here!"
Everyone in the room perked up while Shota eyed the delivery man.
