Chapter Text
There's probably a right way to be nervous in this situation. Somehow, Izuku thinks he's managed all the wrong ways.
Shinsō wants to see him privately. Chances are, it's about training. They've been getting along well lately and Izuku did offer to help catch him up so meeting alone makes the most sense. The problem is, when Izuku mentioned having to go off to meet with 'someone' privately, the usual culprits immediately assumed it was for a confession.
It's just that Shinsō isn't usually so secretive about their training or even hanging out together. Plus, Izuku's pretty busy with school stuff on a normal basis so Shinsō calling him out like this without checking to see if he actually had the time to spare is pretty unusual. Izuku hadn't thought about it much at the time so now, he's not entirely sure how Shinsō has even asked to meet him. He had seemed nervous but beyond that? Was anything really different about it?
Izuku wishes he could just be nervous about potentially receiving a confession but that's not it at all.
He really, really doesn't want to hurt Shinsō's feelings.
"Ah, you are here," Izuku murmurs. Shinsō looks at him curiously.
"Isn't that my line?" he replies. "I asked you to come."
"Yeah," Izuku says quietly. He really likes being friends with Shinsō so this- he just hopes they can keep being friends. "Is there a reason we couldn't just meet like normal? Is something wrong?"
"Sort of," Shinsō admits, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. This situation is definitely weird. The roof is quiet and serene, though, and the view is always nice. It all just feels a little lost on Izuku. "It's not about training."
"No?" Izuku murmurs, trying to pretend he didn't know that. The worst thing he could do here is get too nervous and accept Shinsō's feelings without thinking.
"There's someone I like, actually," Shinsō says. Izuku can't help the way he instinctively jolts a little. It really is a confession? And here he was just hoping Shinsō would surprise attack him or something. "I thought- you might have some advice?"
"W-well," Izuku says. Somehow, he thinks his face is much, much redder than Shinsō's mild blush. "I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask about this sort of thing but I- I can do my best, of course! Who- who is it?"
Shinsō immediately gets much more coy and much more nervous.
"That's the thing," he says. "It's- a guy."
How do you even let a person down easy and still be friends? It's going to be so awkward no matter what. Izuku sort of wishes he could be normal so a confession from a cute boy like this would be a good thing.
"Okay," Izuku says. "Does this guy- not like guys?" Shinsō blushes harder.
"No, he definitely does," he assures. This makes Izuku bristle a bit. Surely he's not that obvious!
"Then what's the problem?" Izuku asks. He feels a bit like an asshole but he doesn't know what else to do or how else to approach this situation. Shinsō sighs deeply.
"It's Aizawa."
Izuku blinks. Shinsō stubbornly looks somewhere else.
"Aizawa," Izuku repeats. Shinsō does not confirm this again but judging by the pink on his face suddenly being very, very red, he doesn't need to. In the sheer relief he feels, Izuku can't help but laugh. It's immediately clear that Shinsō doesn't appreciate this but Izuku can't help himself. He'd been so worried over nothing, jeez.
"It's not funny," Shinsō says mildly.
"No," Izuku agrees. "I'm sorry. It's just- I thought you were going to confess to me." This makes Shinsō jolt in surprise.
"I-!" he says and for a brief moment, he seems as worried as Izuku has just been. "Do you- feel that way about me?" Izuku shakes his head and Shinsō immediately lets out a sigh of relief of his own.
"But Aizawa," Izuku murmurs. Shinsō rubs his neck awkwardly.
"I kinda thought you'd be able to help because you and Yagi," he says. Izuku can't help his instinctive reaction to panic.
"There's nothing between me and Yagi!" he says at once. Shinsō winces vaguely at his volume but otherwise, just blinks back at him. Izuku covers his mouth. Well that wasn't exactly smooth, was it?
"There's not?" he murmurs.
Oh. They're in the same boat here, aren't they. Shinsō likes Aizawa and Izuku likes Toshinori. And neither are ever, ever going to happen. Izuku eases up on his panic. He plops down on the roof floor and after a moment, Shinsō joins him. Now that they've sorted out that misunderstanding, the awkward tension is gone, fortunately.
"No, there's not," Izuku says. "I- want there to be but- I'm afraid I really don't have any advice for you." Shinsō huffs a laugh.
"You're always disappearing with him," he murmurs. "I didn't want to assume anything but I thought maybe something was up."
"He's actually my mentor," Izuku admits. He knows he probably shouldn't but in that way, too, he and Shinsō are alike, aren't they? Aizawa is privately training Shinsō and Izuku knows about that so maybe it's fair to share this secret in return.
"Oh," Shinsō says. "But you want there to be?"
"Yeah," Izuku sighs. "He would never though. For a lot of reasons."
"Aizawa, too," Shinsō agrees, an assessment Izuku agrees with. Both of their teachers are great heroes and good men. Asking either of them to do anything so ethically immoral as returning their student's feelings would be a nonstarter. And, besides, they definitely have better prospects than a couple high schoolers.
"Sorry I can't help," Izuku says.
"Don't worry about it," Shinsō says with a shrug. "Didn't think there was a chance anyways. Besides, it's kind of a relief knowing someone else is like me."
"Oh, I- yeah, you're right," Izuku agrees in amusement. Now that he thinks about it, he doesn't think he's ever told anyone about his feelings towards Toshinori. Well, he thinks they're rather obvious but he also can see how any normal person would just see him as a slightly too obsessed fan. Izuku has definitely not conflated these two feelings, however.
Maybe it would have been better if he had.
"So what now?" Shinsō asks. Izuku laughs a bit.
"Constant, unrequited pinning?" he offers. Shinsō laughs, too.
"That was going to happen anyway," he says. Izuku nods in agreement. "Well, we could go out."
"Huh?"
"The two of us," Shinsō says. "We could date." No, Izuku understood that part. His blush returns tenfold. "It'll be a pain otherwise, having to come up with reasons we're not interested in other people."
"That's a good point," Izuku agrees quietly. He really hadn't thought it would be that much of an issue but Shinsō is right. Already he fumbles his way through awkward conversations about crushes and 'girls he thinks are cute'. If Shinsō really had confessed to him, things would have turned out a bit better if Izuku could have said he was dating someone, right?
"And we know about each other so it's not like we'll have to hide wanting to fuck our teachers from each other," he goes on. Putting it so bluntly makes Izuku cringe but he's still not wrong. It's not like they'll end up having a messy breakup because Shinsō finds out he wants his much older mentor carnally. So it wouldn't really be dating, they'd just have each other as cover. That makes sense to Izuku.
"It'll be good to have some practice, too, in case our mentors ever do break," Shinsō says.
"Right," Izuku murmurs. Wait. "What?"
X
Somehow, Izuku has a boyfriend?
The truth is, Izuku really does like Shinsō and he likes hanging out with Shinsō so this really all just kind of works out. They can train, hang out, and neither of them really mind if other people know they're dating. In fact, it's kind of the point. Everything is just kind of working out for once.
Well, aside from the glaring issue that they'd much rather be dating their mentors but that's fine. Izuku thinks they're very much the same in that regard, though. He's just happy to be around Toshinori and since dating him is a lost cause, he's happy to make things work with Shinsō. Besides, it was Shinsō's suggestion. If he was unhappy, Izuku hopes he'd say it.
Then again, it's not like there's really anything to be unhappy with, he supposes. Maybe Izuku is just too nervous.
"We should go on a date," Shinsō says. Izuku looks up from his homework at Shinsō sprawled across his bed. In a surprising turn of events, Izuku's dorm tends to be quieter than Shinsō's. Actually, this isn’t that surprising to Izuku. Class 1A gets to exercise their quirks a lot and beyond that, just has a physically demanding rubric. General studies tends to lean more towards mental exercises and assorted skills; of course Shinsō’s class has a ton of energy to burn.
"Have we- not?" he replies curiously. Shinsō gives him a mild look.
"Training isn't a date," he says.
"That sounds incorrect but I can't actually disprove you," Izuku says. Shinsō huffs a little laugh. A date; a fun day out. That sounds pretty nice and like a good way to relax a little. They have a long weekend coming up so it'll be good to take some down time.
"Where would you take Yagi on a date?" Shinsō asks. Izuku immediately blushes too hard for his own good. It's not like he hasn't thought about it but-
"We couldn't, right?" he murmurs. "Even in a fantasy world where Yagi-sensei agreed to go out with me, we couldn't be seen in public or anything."
"Yeah, but if you could," Shinsō insists. It's surprising but this sort of thing? Izuku finds he's the more pragmatic one between the two of them. Whereas all of his idle fantasies about Toshinori are based somewhat in reality and take into consideration actual hurdles, Shinsō seems content to ignore all of those for the sake of imagining up good times. Izuku's been trying to be more like that.
Where would Toshinori like to go on a date?
"Cat cafe," Shinsō says. Izuku can't help but snort a laugh.
"Aizawa would definitely enjoy a cat cafe,” he agrees. “Though you may lose him to the cats if you’re not careful.” Aizawa isn’t a very difficult man to understand, really. He likes what he likes and he tolerates anything else. Toshinori isn’t entirely different, really. He’s a rather simple guy at his core, he likes what he likes but he’ll happily go along with whatever makes people happy.
“That’s okay,” Shinsō murmurs. “If he can relax around them then the cats can have him. Temporarily.”
“I think Toshinori would enjoy a cat cafe, too,” Izuku muses. Maybe not as much as Aizawa but that’s a high bar to scale. “Maybe a nice picnic afterwards somewhere quiet. With his favorite foods, of course.”
“Let’s do it,” Shinsō says. “Cat cafe and a picnic.”
“Yeah!” Izuku agrees gladly. “That sounds like a lot of fun.” For as much as this ‘date’ has been planned around their mentors, Izuku thinks it’ll be a good opportunity to think about something else for a while. Usually he spends his long breaks training and studying which rather inherently means thinking about Toshinori. This will be nice.
“What kind of food do you think Aizawa likes?” Shinsō muses.
“Shōta,” Izuku offers. Shinsō gives him a perplexed look. “Oh, uh, Aizawa’s given name- it’s pronounced Shōta. Toshinori still calls him it accidentally sometimes.” Almost immediately, Shinsō gets this really cute starry eyed look on his face.
“Shōta,” he repeats charmingly.
“You know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Aizawa-sensei eat,” Izuku admits. Shinsō sits up and ruffles his hair in his hands as if to knock some sense into himself. “I think he’s a night eater. I could ask Toshinori? No guarantees he’ll know, though.” Toshinori is a very light eater due to his injury but Izuku knows what he likes. While he’s not entirely incompetent in the kitchen, he isn’t a fantastic cook so maybe this is a good opportunity to do a little practice. Shinsō sits down next to him and Izuku gives him a little grin.
It's not too surprising when Shinsō kisses him. They've kissed a few times but it's always been very brief, very shallow kisses for saying goodbye or hello. This is the same and Izuku hums pleasantly in return.
"Have you properly kissed anyone before?" Shinsō asks. Izuku nods.
"Yeah," he agrees, sheepishly laughing. "Lots, actually."
"That's surprising," Shinsō murmurs.
"What? Why's that surprising?" Izuku asks, pouting a little. Shinsō kisses him again and this time, he pushes forward a bit more than usual. It's obvious he's not too experienced with this so Izuku takes the lead, taking his face in hand and gently prodding Shinsō's mouth with his tongue. This seems to make Shinsō a little too nervous and he pulls away again with a blush. Cute.
"You just seem like someone who'd want to save himself for Yagi, that's all," Shinsō says.
"That-" Izuku can't exactly argue with that, admittedly. At one point, that had been his thought. He huffs a small sound. "Toshinori is a lot older than me, though. It would be embarrassing if we got that far and I didn't know anything, right? What about- what about you?"
"You're the first," Shinsō says. This just makes Izuku blush, too. Shinsō grins at him mischievously. "Well sensei? Are you going to teach me?"
Izuku blushes even harder.
"When do you think the last time Yagi-sensei was kissed, anyways?" Shinsō muses. "You'll probably have to remind him." Izuku knows Shinsō is just trying to be sexy but he doesn't actually want to think about who else Toshinori may have kissed. It's stupid, especially when he's here kissing Shinsō, but he just doesn't like thinking about it. He leans in to kiss Shinsō again.
Knowing Shinsō really hasn't done this before, Izuku tries to be a bit slower about the whole thing. Toshinori would probably be like this, too, too nervous to take the initiative especially with Izuku. Still, their tongues only vaguely touch and it's enough to make Shinsō pull away again, too embarrassed to continue. Izuku laughs a little.
"What do you prefer?" he asks quietly. "For Aizawa, I mean."
"Kissing?" Shinsō replies.
"Oh, no," Izuku says. "I mean, top or bottom?" Shinsō just stares at him a moment and Izuku almost thinks he's intentionally being obtuse. He's not, though, is he? If he's never kissed before, he's definitely inexperienced but Izuku just sort of assumed this kind of thing was common knowledge. Then again, maybe he's just a pervert. Not everyone's first reaction to realizing they have a crush on a guy is to immediately research what to expect in bed.
"Um," Izuku says, doing his best not to sound as painfully awkward as he feels now. "When you think about Aizawa, do you think of putting your penis in him or vice versa?"
"Oh," Shinsō murmurs. He looks down as he considers it. Then considers it a little too hard, turns an impressive shade of red, and promptly develops a nosebleed.
"Hey!" Izuku yips in panic. Shinsō quickly covers his nose while Izuku finds something to mop the blood up with. He hands Shinsō some tissue and he quickly tilts his head back to stop the bleeding.
"Sorry," he mutters. Izuku huffs a laugh. "I know I'm the one that brought up 'practicing' but I'm not really- knowledgeable about that kind of thing. Never really thought about getting that far with Aizawa-sensei." Now that's surprising. Shinsō is a teen boy, after all. How could he not have thought about sex already?
"You don't- masturbate to Aizawa?" Izuku asks, legitimately curious. One tissue is suddenly not enough and Izuku panics to help Shinsō stop the bleeding. He doesn't think he's actually ever met a person capable of blushing so hard they actually got nosebleeds. Once the bleeding finally subsides again, Shinsō scoffs irritably.
"So stupid," he grumbles.
"Sorry, it's my fault," Izuku assures. He tries not to sound too amused by this. "I shouldn't be so tactless with you."
"You're fine," Shinsō says curtly. "And I do, but it's usually just kissing or over the clothes stuff. That's it." And that's enough for him? Izuku is a little jealous. He's definitely a pervert then. "What about you?"
"Oh, I'm a switch," Izuku says without really thinking about it. "I sort of figure Toshinori would prefer to be on top especially since I, uh, I don't have a penis but I don't really care either way. Kind of just depends on my mood what I think about." Shinsō stares at him again.
"What do you mean you don't have a penis?" he repeats blandly. Izuku blushes a bit and averts his eyes as he tugs at his collar.
"That's- Don't worry about it," he murmurs.
"I'm worried about it," Shinsō deadpans back immediately. As weird as this conversation always is to have, Izuku can't help his laugh. For someone like Shinsō, he's probably expecting some medically traumatic history or something. 'Local boy loses penis in quirk accident' type stuff.
"I, uh, I was actually born a girl?" Izuku admits.
"But you're not?" Shinsō confirms. Izuku shakes his head.
"No, I'm trans," he assures. It's obvious Shinsō isn't particularly familiar with this, either.
"So you have a boy vagina," he says. Something about 'boy vagina' and Shinsō's naturally flat tone of voice makes Izuku lose it with laughter. He's never really 'come out' like this before because he's never really had to. He's always passed well enough thanks to mom so people who know are people who've known since forever, like Katsuki, or people who've found out simply through fooling around together. Shinsō grins at him.
"Yeah, that works," Izuku says in amusement. "Does that bother you?"
"Nah," Shinsō says. "I think Aizawa might be trans, too." Izuku blinks.
"Really?" he replies.
"Well," Shinsō murmurs, rubbing his head again. "I don't know. I accidentally walked in on him showering after training once and I thought-" he trails off. Izuku can see how at the time, Shinsō probably wouldn't know what to think about something like that. Huh. He wonders if he could ask Aizawa about that without it being stupidly invasive or something.
Shinsō tosses his bloody tissue on the table and checks his nose for anymore blood.
"I don't mind switching," he says quietly. "Whatever Aizawa wants to do, s'fine with me." Oh that's- kinda hot. Izuku decides not to kill Shinsō via back to back nosebleeds by telling him that implies anal sex. A conversation for later, he thinks. Maybe he'll just find some AVs or something they can watch together.
He is definitely a pervert.
"Want to try kissing some more?" Izuku asks.
"Yeah," Shinsō agrees. "Can you do me a favor, though?"
"Sure," Izuku says.
"Don't let me pull away again," Shinsō says. Izuku can't help the way he jolts in surprise. Whatever he was expecting, it wasn't this.
"Oh, I- I definitely don't think Aizawa would make you kiss him," Izuku argues. "Especially with tongue. It's not for everyone and that's okay!"
"Aizawa wouldn't," he agrees. "But I'm asking you. If I don't like it, we won't kiss anymore but if I keep getting cold feet, I'll never know." Well, if Izuku is a pervert, Shinsō definitely is, too. He sighs a bit but ultimately, nods.
"Alright," Izuku agrees. "If you're sure." Shinsō grins at him.
"I'm in your capable hands, sensei," he assures. Izuku takes Shinsō's face in his hands and sure enough, Shinsō isn't nervous in the slightest. If he were, Izuku doesn't think he'd be able to follow through. He kisses Shinsō again and he still tries to be slow and gentle about it but as promised, he doesn't let Shinsō instinctively pull away when their tongues touch. He can feel Shinsō actually wince a bit as he tries to adjust to the feeling.
Izuku couldn't do something like this to Toshinori. No, that's not right. If Toshinori liked something like this, Izuku would gladly. You'll probably have to remind him. Would Toshinori like something like this? It doesn't really matter because it's never happening, right? The thought of pinning Toshinori down and kissing him breathless turns out to rile Izuku up a little more than he expected. He ends up pushing Shinsō to the floor and Shinsō clutches his shirt tightly as they make out.
It's not entirely clear when Shinsō actually relaxes but he does and from there, it's less holding him down and more mutual exploration. Knowing Shinsō is thinking about Aizawa just as much, it's actually rather nice. Usually Izuku feels too guilty about things to enjoy kissing this much. Unsurprisingly, Shinsō's hard on prods his thigh soon after. That's probably why he kept pulling back before. Izuku politely ignores it.
When it becomes obvious Shinsō is starting to get dizzy, Izuku finally stops. Shinsō blinks, a dazed look on his face.
"Are you okay?" Izuku asks in amusement. Shinsō nods. "You know, Aizawa is probably a lot better at kissing than I am."
"I'm gonna need more practice," Shinsō murmurs.

Izuku is actually very excited for their date today. While most of Yuuie has wandered off home for the long weekend, Izuku and Shinsō stay behind for today. They’ll have their date and then tomorrow morning head to Izuku’s house. Apparently, Shinsō is a ‘ward of Yuuie’ so he would have stayed at the school otherwise and mom is always happy when Izuku proves that he has nice friends. Izuku doesn’t want to prod too much into Shinsō’s personal life even if he is curious.
Really, Izuku just hopes the picnic he put together for them is somewhat decent. He did end up getting a bit of help from Katsuki but ultimately, it’s mostly his own handiwork. If it’s not good, well, Izuku packed plenty and he was sure to include some nice fresh fruits. At worse, they can just eat that. Mom will definitely try to overfeed Shinsō at the house, anyways. He’s way too thin.
“Midoriya-kun,” Shinsō calls as he enters the dorm. Fortunately, all of Izuku’s classmates have already gone home. Shinsō said he had a surprise for their date and in return, Izuku has something of a surprise for after their date. Izuku motions him into the little kitchen and Shinsō immediately comes to sit on one of the counters. He looks a lot different out of his school uniform but Izuku supposes he probably does, too.
“You can call me Izuku, you know,” Izuku offers. “We are dating. Or Deku, for that matter.”
“Izukun,” Shinsō says. Izuku beams happily.
“Hitoshi-kun,” he chirps back.
“Don’t call me that,” Shinsō says immediately. Izuku jolt.
“Oh, I’m sorry! I-” he fumbles.
“It was a joke,” Shinsō assures. Izuku puts his face in his hands as Shinsō grins at him.
“Bully,” he complains. Shinsō leans over to plant a little kiss on his cheek- certainly not an apology. It’s a good thing he’s so cute.
“Hey, I guess I should have asked before, but your mom- does she know we’re dating?” Shinsō asks.
“She knows!” Izuku assures. He doesn’t want to tell Shinsō that his mom was a bit concerned when she found out what his quirk was but that really doesn’t have anything to do with Shinsō. Mom is just a nervous sort like that. Is it any wonder where Izuku got it from? Once she meets him, she’ll adore him, too!
“Does she know about other things?” Shinsō asks curiously.
“No!” Izuku says at once. “I mean- about Toshinori? Absolutely not. She would withdraw me immediately.” Shinsō laughs.
“Fair enough,” he murmurs. “Ready for our date, then?”
“I’m ready,” Izuku agrees, hoisting their picnic bag onto his back.
"I found a park not far from the cafe," Shinsō says. "It should be quiet." They start heading out.
"How lucky," Izuku chirps back. He takes Shinsō's hand and they both blush a bit as they walk. It's one thing for their classmates to know but going out in public together- it's kind of nice. Sure enough, with everyone off enjoying the day, it's quieter than usual, even a little peaceful.
Izuku rambles about his fantasy hero league season as they walk. He's not sure if Shinsō is listening, nor does he really expect him to be, but Shinsō never seems to mind. In fact, he seems to appreciate that he doesn't have to meander his way through a conversation most times. He really isn't much of a conversationalist. Izuku thinks it stems from a time when he couldn't control his quirk and he just taught himself not to talk. Sometimes he surprises Izuku, though. He'll suddenly offer an opinion on something Izuku is talking about or on a very rare occasion, just start talking about something for himself.
And Izuku always listens.
They stop in front of the cat cafe.
"Oh. Young Midoriya, young Shinsō, hello."
It's only now that Izuku realizes he should have been more worried about Shinsō's 'surprise'. To be fair to him, this absolutely isn't something he could have expected nor did he think he had any reason to be worried. Toshinori grins at them pleasantly and Aizawa, well, looks as he usually looks; tired.
"What- what are you two doing here?" Izuku asks. Shinsō elbows him in the ribs gently but the question is already out there.
"Aizawa mentioned this place opened recently," Toshinori says in amusement. "I guess we had the same idea about stopping by." Izuku absolutely does not think that's what happened at all.
"How lucky," Shinsō says. He definitely planned this!
"It's nice to see you actually relaxing on your days off," Toshinori insists. They, unfortunately, head inside together. It's not so much decided as it is that they naturally sit at a table together despite Izuku absolutely not wanting that at all. He does like spending time with Toshinori but something about this situation just makes him feel guilty.
The second Izuku sits, there's a cat in his lap, though, and it's just naturally very hard to be upset with a cat in your lap.
"Didn't realize you were a cat magnet," Shinsō says. Izuku laughs a little.
"I probably still smell like roe," he replies, gently petting the scraggly thing. Immediately, it's purring louder than Izuku can think.
"You made lunch," Shinsō says. "I'll buy you a drink."
"Oh, okay," Izuku agrees. "Your treat, your choice. I'm not picky."
"You look a little busy as well, Aizawa," Toshinori comments. Izuku glances over and sure enough, Aizawa has already managed to commandeer an armful of the biggest cat Izuku has ever seen. "I'll treat you, too. Consider it a thank you for your teaching assistance."
"Coffee," Aizawa says without pause. "Cold, black." Toshinori laughs. He wanders off with Shinsō and Izuku is awkwardly left with his boyfriend's love interest. This is so weird. How did Shinsō not think this was going to be weird? Izuku pets the cat a little more and eventually it's so happy, it stands to push its face into his affectionately. He's never disliked animals, of course, but he's never paid an alarming amount of attention to them, either. He can see why Shinsō and Aizawa are so fond of cats.
"Midoriya," Aizawa says. Izuku jolts and it makes the cat hop out of his lap suddenly. It doesn't go far, though, roaming a few steps away on the bench before plopping down on its side. "You and Shinsō are getting along well."
"Y-yeah," Izuku agrees. "Is that- that's good, right?"
"Yeah," Aizawa says. "Thanks for looking after him." Looking after him? Oh. Shinsō's a ward of the school, right? If Aizawa's been training with him the most lately, then he's probably the closest thing to a legal guardian Shinsō has right now. Is he the one that's allowing Shinsō to stay at his home over the weekend? Aizawa must see him like a son.
That's probably how Toshinori sees Izuku, isn't it?
Some of the people Izuku has fooled around with had this weird idea of him. Apparently he comes across as 'innocent' and too nice to be considered an appropriate partner? He's found the easiest way to stop people from thinking that about him is by just saying something crude. It seems easy here to do the same.
"I- don't need thanks for that," Izuku murmurs softly. Shinsō and Toshinori seem to be talking as they wait for their orders. He wonders if it's the same conversation.
"I know you don't," Aizawa says. The sort of person Aizawa is, he wouldn't so openly say anything he's worried about. This is about something specific but Izuku has no way of telling what. Maybe that's for the best.
Shinsō brings him something nice and cool. It's only faintly sweet and Izuku isn't picky but it's really good. Whatever Shinsō is drinking is an abomination, though, and Izuku regrets accepting the offer for a taste.
They sit down together and pet some cats. Izuku supposes it's not that bad even if he inherently feels nervous with Toshinori so close by. He was right, though, Toshinori seems to enjoy this, sitting comfortably with his warm tea and a dust sprite of a cat perched in his lap- but not as much as Aizawa who's found himself on the floor surrounded by affectionate beasts. Shinsō has quickly become attached to one in particular that's clearly more interested in turning him into a scratching post than anything else. Black and sleek with tired looking eyes.
Izuku can't help but laugh.
"What's so funny?" Shinsō asks.
"Nothing," Izuku assures. "Did you set this up?"
"Yeah," Shinsō says but, of course, that was obvious. He leans in closer to whisper in Izuku's ear. "We can almost pretend it's a double date, huh?" That's not what it feels like to Izuku at all but, well, if Shinsō is happy then he doesn't see how it hurts anything. Shinsō gives him a little kiss first on the cheek, then in the mouth. He will have to be cautious of how bold Shinsō may become in the future, though.
"Maybe we can set Aizawa and Yagi up together," Shinsō murmurs. Izuku gives him a curious look. "If they're together, that's fine, right? They won't get snapped up by anyone else."
If Toshinori is with Aizawa? He sees where Shinsō is coming from but he's not so sure that really solves any problems. Aizawa and Mic seem to have something together, though, and that's if Aizawa doesn't already have something with Midnight. Izuku really wants to hope that isn't a concern with Toshinori but honestly? He doesn't know. Toshinori already has an ex-husband and ex-fiance- two completely different guys! He's All Might after all. Who wouldn't want to be with him?
Except, ironically enough, Aizawa.
"I think that might be pushing our luck, Hitoshi," Izuku says softly. "And, besides, I don't think Aizawa particularly likes Toshinori in that way." Shinsō just kind of shrugs. "We should go, our picnic is going to get soggy."
"Yeah," Shinsō agrees. "Aizawa-sensei, Yagi-sensei, Midoriya and I are going to leave for lunch. Would you like to come with us?"
Bully!
"Shinsō," Izuku says urgently under his breath. Toshinori gently puts down the fluffy black thing he's holding and it mews pitifully in return.
"You're right, we shouldn't spend all day here. I wouldn't want to intrude on anything, though," he assures. "You two enjoy yourselves." Aizawa doesn't look up from the lilac fluff ball he's entertaining with a feather toy.
"You wouldn't be intruding," Shinsō says. "We brought too much food." Izuku really doesn't understand what the plan here even is. They have a super awkward picnic with their mentors? It was a fluke that this wasn't a trainwreck. Toshinori looks at them curiously for a moment and Izuku tries not to look suspicious. That would be easier to pull off if he knew what suspicious looked like in this scenario.
"If it's bothersome, you really don't have to, Yagi-san," Izuku insists. Aizawa gets to his feet.
"It's no bother!" Toshinori replies. Then he looks a little guilty himself. "I suppose lately all we've had time for is business. I'd be happy to join you- if you're sure."
"We're sure," Shinsō says before Izuku gets a chance to say anything. Great, he gets to subject his idol to his potentially awful food. Thanks Shinsō. You bastard. Toshinori grins.
Aizawa doesn't say he's coming but he does.
Izuku and Shinsō lead the way.
"I hope you're planning on catching up on some sleep this weekend," Toshinori murmurs worriedly behind them.
"I'm fine," Aizawa replies mildly. They talk some teacher talk.
"Don't do anything stupid, Hitoshi," Izuku begs quietly. Shinsō grins at him and with little warning, wraps an arm around Izuku's neck to pull them closer together. It's not too hard to keep walking but Izuku is definitely a little flustered now.
"And what stupid thing did you have in mind?" he asks back.
"I'm not giving you ideas," Izuku grumbles back.
"Relax, Izukun," Shinsō assures, a bit gentler. "It's just a picnic with our hardworking mentors." Izuku sighs but he nods. He supposes he really is just a worry wart like his mother. This 'surprise' caught him more off guard than he really appreciated but maybe that's just because he knows Shinsō knows.
Maybe they should get on the same page about this sort of thing. Izuku hadn't realized Shinsō would want to play so close to the edge.
The park isn't very busy, either. It's easy to find a relatively quiet place under the shade of a tree and Izuku quickly unpacks their blanket. He was expecting it to just be him and Shinsō so it’s a bit close but not awfully uncomfortable. Izuku’s just glad he didn’t bring the blanket with Toshinori’s face on it. That would have been embarrassing.
“It’s been a while since we’ve had a quiet day like this,” Toshinori muses.
“Yeah,” Aizawa agrees.
“It’s nice,” Toshinori beams. It is nice but even Izuku can feel the paranoid tension in their mentors. For a moment there in the cafe, it seemed quieter. That’s just what it’s like being a hero, isn’t it? Wondering when the next problem is going to arise. If they can relax, even for a little bit, that’s always nice. Izuku hastily lays out the picnic he’s prepared and sure enough, there’s more than enough food. When Shinsō said to pack plenty, Izuku presumed it was because Shinsō was a bigger eater than he was led to believe.
If Izuku gives Toshinori food poisoning, he will die.
“Ah, everyone please help yourselves,” Izuku insists. Everyone does and only once everyone else has had a pick does Izuku take a riceball for himself.
“Did you make this, Midoriya?” Toshinori asks curiously. Izuku winces a bit.
“I did, yeah. Is it bad?” he asks.
“Not at all!” Toshinori says. Izuku can’t help the relief he feels and immediate starry eyes he gets. “It’s very good! I was unaware you were a talented cook, too!” That’s absolutely not true but Izuku will take the praise anyways. He turns to Shinsō more to confirm the fact that he’s been highly praised but Shinsō seems to be having some trouble. His face is red but definitely not in the usual ‘about to get a nosebleed’ way.
“Why is it so spicy?” he rasps quietly.
“Spicy?” Izuku repeats. He takes the steamed bun from Shinsō to give it a try for himself but it’s not spicy. There’s definitely a strong taste of chili peppers but it’s not spicy. “Can you not tolerate a little spice, Hitoshi-kun?”
“That’s not a little,” Shinsō replies at once. Izuku looks back at Toshinori curiously but he doesn’t seem to be having any problem.
“Is it spicy?” he asks. Toshinori flusters briefly before gesturing for Izuku to get closer. Izuku leans in.
“I do not have capsaicin receptors,” he says quietly. That’s fascinating but Izuku isn’t sure why it’s a secret. So he can’t taste spicy things? “I’m going to assume you don’t either, my boy.” Izuku’s a bit slow on the uptake but after a moment, it clicks. Because they’re quirkless? That’s fascinating. He'll definitely have to look into that more later.
Aizawa takes a bite from the steamed bun in Toshinori’s hand. Judging by the look on his face, he considers this a mistake. He clears his throat.
“Bakugō helped you,” he says.
“Oh, yeah, just a little bit,” Izuku agrees. Shinsō. “Hitoshi! I’m so sorry! Here!” Quickly he hands Shinsō something to drink though the good this actually does for him is minimal. He won’t say it’s good he poisoned his boyfriend instead but at least All Might likes them. “Kacchan didn’t help me make the riceballs. Let’s trade.”
Once he's gotten his mouth to a somewhat normal temperature again, Shinsō scoffs.
“We are not kissing for the rest of the day,” he says. Izuku blushes.
“That's not fair," he complains but it's more teasing than anything. "I am really sorry. I didn't know they were that spicy."
"If Bakugō wants to kill me, he'll have to do it himself," Shinsō says. Izuku gives him a small swat on the arm.
"Don't joke about that," he insists.
Somehow, they manage to avoid talking about school or hero work while they eat. Part of this is because cats keep coming up but no one really minds. Izuku didn't know there was so much to talk about in regards to cats.
"I was wondering," Shinsō says, laying down to put his head in Izuku's lap. Izuku's a bit too content with the day so far to be flustered. This has been pretty nice. "Why don't Aizawa-sensei and Yagi-sensei get along?" Toshinori coughs awkwardly.
"Ah, we get along fine," he insists. This is absolutely a lie. Izuku offers him a partially peeled tangerine which Toshinori gratefully accepts.
"What makes you think we don't?" Aizawa asks. Toshinori breaks the tangerine in half to share with Aizawa. Izuku works on peeling another for Shinsō and himself.
"So Aizawa-sensei is just tsundere," Shinsō says. Aizawa glares at him but this doesn't do much for his case. Toshinori laughs a little- which makes Aizawa glare at him instead. "I just thought something may have happened between you two. I'm glad that's not the case."
"You boys don't need to worry about us," Toshinori promises. "Whatever happens, our students always come first."
"You should come first sometimes," Izuku says. It's only when Toshinori blushes that he realizes how that sounds. Izuku tries to recover quickly. "You two work really hard, that's all! It would be nice to see you get to relax like this more often. I know there's not a lot of opportunity for it but even just once in a while."
"Besides, if we're going to be dating, I wouldn't want our mentors to hate each other," Shinsō agrees. "That would be weird."
"Like I said," Toshinori says sheepishly. "We get along just fine." Aizawa looks somewhere else. Now Izuku really is curious about them. He honestly didn't think they were that close but after today, he wonders if he's wrong about that. It definitely feels like something is going on with them. Though Toshinori seemed to imply they came separately, that doesn’t actually look to be the case.
"That's good," Izuku murmurs.
"If senseis ever need anything, they only have to ask," Shinsō says. Perhaps, hopefully, it's only Izuku that understands Shinsō definitely doesn't mean that in an innocent way but he still thinks that's a bit bold! He shoves a section of tangerine in Shinsō's mouth to quiet him. Shinsō grins up at him.
"That's- very kind, boys," Toshinori assures. "Thank you."
"We should go," Aizawa says.
"Right, we should," Toshinori agrees. "Young Midoriya, young Shinsō, thank you. This was nice." Izuku can't help but beam. Okay, maybe Shinsō was a little right. It does feel a bit like he took All Might on a nice date.
"I'm glad!" Izuku chirps happily.
"Stay out of trouble," Aizawa instructs.
"Always, sensei," Shinsō replies with absolutely no conviction.
It's only once they're out of sight does Izuku realize the tension that's been in his shoulders.
"That went well," Shinsō says. Izuku isn't disagreeing with that.
"I don't know if I liked that, Hitoshi," he admits quietly. Shinsō sits up again to look at him properly. Izuku looks elsewhere nervously. "S-sorry-"
"No, it's fine," Shinsō says. "Just, didn't like what?" That feels harder to put into words than Izuku expected.
"I know I said I wanted more from Toshinori but I don't want him to become aware of my feelings," he says. "That would be- weird. I don't want him to hate me and I don't want anything to change between us. Even if that just means spending time with him normally, that's fine with me. If you want more from Aizawa, that's fine, too, but I don't actually- have any intention of acting on my feelings, Hitoshi."
"Oh," Shinsō says. It's not surprised or anything, Izuku just thinks he didn't think about it like that before. "I get it. Sorry."
"You don't have to be sorry!" Izuku insists. "I had a good day and I enjoyed our date. I just wanted to make sure we're on the same page, that's all."
"Yeah, okay," Shinsō agrees. "Guess I shouldn't try to surprise you like that when we're still figuring each other out."
"I don't want you to feel bad," Izuku says. He laughs quietly. "It was nice spending time with Toshinori like this even if I was way too nervous for my own good."
"Shōta looked like he had a good time, too," Shinsō agrees. Did he? Izuku couldn't tell. "Next date, just the two of us, promise."
"Deal," Izuku agrees. "Should we head back to the dorms? I have a surprise for you, too."
"Should I be worried?" Shinsō asks in amusement. Izuku leans in to whisper to him. Shinsō holds his nose to stop from bleeding all over his nice shirt. "We should head back right now."
X
Izuku isn’t really worried about being found out when his classmates are actually in the dorm. There’s enough room between their rooms that unless they end up getting abnormally loud, no one should really overhear them. Plus, everyone knows they’re dating so it’s not like they should be surprised. Still, knowing there’s no one around just makes it a lot easier to not worry about.
“Hitoshi-kun doesn’t watch this type of thing, right?” Izuku muses as he works on setting up his laptop.
“No,” Shinsō agrees, perched on the edge of his bed. “I have some mags from some classmates but they’re all women.”
“Ah, are you only interested in men?” Izuku asks curiously.
“I’m only interested in Aizawa,” Shinsō answers right away. That was a stupid question in hindsight. Izuku laughs.
“Right. Well this is mostly gay,” he admits. “If there’s anything you don’t like, we can just skip it. I figured, jumping right into sex would be a little much so we can do some kissing and touching if you want or we can just do our own thing.”
“You mean it would be a little much for me,” Shinsō says.
“Yes?” Izuku replies curiously. Shinsō grins at him.
“You’re cute,” he says. Izuku blushes.
“Besides,” he murmurs. “Usually I expect ‘the top’ to bring condoms and I don’t think you-?”
“Well, I could have if you’d told me ahead of time,” Shinsō grumbles. Izuku snickers a little.
“Aizawa-sensei is still pretty young, anyways. If you’re only good at penetrative sex, he won’t be satisfied,” he muses. He comes to sit on the bed next to Shinsō as the first video starts playing. Admittedly, he's not very interested in porn either. Unlike Shinsō, he does find people besides Toshinori attractive but it has less to do with that and more to do with the story. Which sounds stupid but it's true. More often than not, he's more of a lewd stories kind of guy but that's a little harder to enjoy with a partner. Mostly because Izuku thinks he'd die trying to read something like that out loud.
This is more for Shinsō, anyway. Izuku idly sticks his hand in his pants to stroke his clit but otherwise, he zones out pretty quickly. A few minutes pass.
"This does it for you?" Shinsō asks. Izuku glances at him but it seems Shinsō is wholly uninterested. That is a little surprising, he thinks. Most people with dicks he's been with basically got it up over anything- actually, all of them have. Wow, Shinsō is really serious about only being into Aizawa.
And Izuku if previous kissing is any indication.
"Well," Izuku murmurs. "Sometimes, yeah. Honestly, it was more study material than anything but I thought- I thought we could have some fun with it."
"Study material?" Shinsō repeats. Now Izuku blushes.
"If you're okay with switching, then you'd be, uh, under Aizawa?" he explains, gesturing a bit to the video. That gets Shinsō's attention. Ah, that's it, is it? Since he's never really done anything like this before, it didn't really mean anything to him.
"Oh," Shinsō says, far more flustered now than before.
"Yeah," Izuku says. "If he's trans, that probably means with a strap on, though. You- do you know what that is?" Shinsō gives him a mild look and Izuku hastily holds a hand up. "Okay, okay, I was just making sure, is all. Are you still okay with that?"
"Is that how you top?" Shinsō asks curiously. Izuku nods.
"Girls mostly," he says. "But yeah."
"And that feels good for you?" he asks. Izuku blushes harder.
"That- well, yeah," he agrees. "I mean, not like it would for you but Aizawa probably won't top if he doesn't enjoy it. Unless you enjoy it, I guess. Some people, like me I guess, can get off just from their partner getting off? I don't- I don't know what Aizawa likes."
"Yeah," Shinsō breathes back. He's definitely excited now at least, the tent in his pants makes that more than obvious. "I'd be willing to try, definitely." Definitely, he says. Izuku supposes there's a bright side to being as unfamiliar with this sort of thing as Shinsō is. For most guys, something like that would be a nonstarter. Then again, Shinsō is interested in a much older man so obviously he isn't most guys.
"We don't have to keep watching if you're not interested," Izuku assures. Shinsō looks at him again before coyly ruffling his hair. He mumbles something and Izuku just kind of blinks. The look Shinsō gives him says he's not pleased about having to repeat himself but he does.
"You could just show me," he says, a little louder. Oh.
"Y-yeah!" Izuku agrees. "I mean- no," he corrects. "Not- I wasn't expecting to top either and I don't have, uh, I don't have anything small enough to practice with."
"But we can do something else?" Shinsō asks.
"Sure," Izuku says gladly. Since they've started dating, Izuku hasn't messed around at all. He knows they're basically fake dating so it probably wouldn't have mattered but he didn't like the idea. Reading between the lines, it feels very much like the only exception should be Toshinori for him- and Aizawa for Shinsō, right? And it's not like Izuku is desperate or anything.
Shinsō suddenly starts undressing and Izuku hastily follows his lead.
It's only once they're both naked does Izuku realize this is a first. They live separately and train only in off hours so it's not like they've showered together, either. Shinsō is bruised almost everywhere. Some of them are obviously older bruises, turning sickly looking colors, but others are very new. The pattern of them are very clear, too- most of them are from Aizawa's capture tape. Shinsō is still very handsome. He's taller than Izuku but since he only recently started intense training, he's much more slender.
"You look like you've been through a blender," Shinsō says. Izuku can't help but laugh. His scars are a lot worse but that's okay. He likes them.
"You're one to talk," he replies and Shinsō scoffs a little laugh of his own. He pokes a gnarly looking spot on his side and winces when it obviously still hurts.
"Aizawa-sensei doesn't take it easy," he murmurs.
"I don't think that guy has an easy mode," Izuku assures in amusement. "He wants you to quit."
"I know," Shinsō says. "I won't, though." Izuku's glad about that, definitely. Shinsō is going to be an amazing hero. "What about you? Are those from Yagi?"
"Not at all!" Izuku says hastily. "No, these are- ugh, mostly my own fault. My quirk is hard to manage most of the time."
"Because you got it late, right?" Shinsō asks. He reaches out to touch a scar on Izuku's side, almost parallel to Shinsō's bruise. His isn't fresh, though, and it doesn't hurt. Being touched so casually and softly, however, makes Izuku a bit flustered.
"I- right," Izuku agrees. "I'm still getting used to it so sometimes- things just go wrong."
"Yeah," Shinsō says. "I know the feeling." They're not very different, are they? "Well sensei, what now?"
Shinsō is still very hard.
"Oh, uh." Izuku didn't actually think this through that far. He was only anticipating some touching so now he's a bit unprepared. "Is there anything you're interested in doing?" Shinsō glances over at the laptop, still quietly playing video, and props himself up on his forearms.
"Oral," he says suddenly. It catches Izuku a bit by surprise. "If you don't want to, that's fine. I know it might not be fun for you since I've never done it before."
"No, I don't mind," Izuku assures. Shinsō's right, it might be a bit lackluster, but that's what practice is for, right? Besides, Izuku is perfectly fine at getting himself off. He reaches for his bedside table, trying to ignore how he has to lean over Shinsō's naked body to do it. Though that would be easier if Shinsō didn't take the opportunity to touch him; gently, curiously palming one of Izuku's soft tits. It makes him shudder.
"You- I don't mind if you touch me," Izuku says, pulling a couple dental dams out. "But, uh, just check first with other partners, I guess."
"Oh. Right," Shinsō agrees. "Sorry. I've never seen breasts like yours. All the girls in those magazines are, uh, well endowed." Izuku can't help but stay where he is, leaving Shinsō to continue his explorative groping. It feels too nice.
"That's- that's because I'm a guy," Izuku reminds him a bit mildly.
"That makes sense," Shinsō replies, seemingly oblivious. That wasn't Izuku's full explanation but if Shinsō thinks that makes sense, there's no reason to over explain. “Toshinori must like these.” A violent shudder goes up Izuku’s back. “Too much?”
“No,” Izuku assures. Shinsō grins.
"Toshinori has such big hands, too," he muses. Izuku braces himself on the bed above Shinsō's shoulder, biting his lip weakly. Shinsō gently rubs his fawn nipples with his thumbs and Izuku makes a pathetic little noise. "I get why he stares so much while you're training. You're really handsome."
Izuku leans back down to kiss Shinsō affectionately. Shinsō eagerly arches up to meet him. They will get distracted kissing for the rest of the afternoon so Izuku cuts it short before he forgets what he's doing. Shinsō makes a pleased little noise as Izuku backs off and hastily rips one of the dams open.
"I thought you didn't have any condoms?" Shinsō asks curiously.
"Oh, this isn't- well, it's not that sort of condom," Izuku explains. He unfolds it and moves to sit back again. Shinsō sits up with him. "It's for, uh, oral sex and fingering mostly. H-here." He tries not to act too much like a blushing virgin as he spreads his thighs and shows off his already wet cunt. It makes it easy to position the colorful dam properly, at least. Shinsō isn't hesitant at all to move onto his stomach and between Izuku's legs.
"If we don't want to use one later, that's fine, but since it's our first time and it can be kind of messy, better to start with one," Izuku says. He looks elsewhere while Shinsō studies his pussy a bit too closely. It's fine, just a bit embarrassing.
"What do I do?" he finally asks, putting his hands on Izuku's thighs. Ah, right.
"Uh, l-lick?" Izuku offers. Shinsō gets right to it. He doesn't quite know where but he drags his tongue along Izuku's slit somewhat intuitively and Izuku's thighs habitually twitch. Izuku spreads his thighs a bit more and looks away as he shows his clit off between his fingers for him. "Here. Uh, you want to pay attention to my clit mostly. I mean, you can do whatever you want, but this feels best for me."
Shinsō has no complaints with that, immediately changing tactics to lap at his hard clit. It's a bit more embarrassing having to instruct Shinsō on what to do but it's definitely not awful at all.
"You can use your fingers, too. It helps," Izuku murmurs. Shinsō moves a hand from his thigh to rub Izuku's slit and Izuku groans quietly. "Yeah, good, like that." He steers Shinsō in the right direction but otherwise, he kind of just lets him figure it out on his own. Which he turns out to be surprisingly good at. Izuku can't help but think that's because of his quirk being an oral skill to begin with. Izuku shifts back onto his forearms and he sees Shinsō reach down with his opposite hand to stroke his own cock.
Good, he's still hard.
"Shōta's clit is probably pretty big," he muses. "You could probably suck him off properly. He'd like that." Shinsō rumbles a quiet groan and the slight vibration feels really good. He noses at Izuku's clit briefly before pausing to try to figure out what to do next. Without any explicit instruction, he takes Izuku's clit in his mouth and sucks. Izuku grabs the back of his head with a pleased chirp.
"Oh! Yeah, like that," he groans. Shinsō isn't exactly skilled at this, of course, but Izuku's had way worse from people with far more experience. "Though Shōta-kun strikes me as the dominant type in bed. If you're not good enough, he'll probably just ride your face." Even from here, Izuku can see how red Shinsō's face gets. Very cute.
"Actually, now that I think about it, whether Hitoshi-kun tops or not, Shōta-kun is definitely the dom. I should probably show you how to get your face ridden without breaking your nose or spraining your neck," Izuku says. Shinsō makes a very guttural noise and suddenly stops everything he's doing with a tired huff. Izuku blinks curiously.
"Did- Hitoshi-kun orgasm from thinking about Aizawa breaking his nose?" he asks. Shinsō hides his face in Izuku's thigh though this doesn't hide the bright red tips of his ears or neck.
"Are you gonna laugh if I say yes?" he mumbles.
"What? No!" Izuku says quickly. "Why would I laugh?" Shinsō looks up at him briefly before looking elsewhere.
"This is definitely perverted," he murmurs. That's a yes, then.
"Are you a masochist?" Izuku asks curiously. "Oh, masochism is-"
"I know what it is," Shinsō assures curtly.
"Sorry," Izuku offers.
"No? I mean, I don't like being in pain," Shinsō says. "Sometimes I get hard when we're training, though. That's not really the same." Well, no, but it's not different, either. Izuku can't help but be curious. This needs some more investing but not right now.
"We should stop for today," Izuku says, petting Shinsō's head gently.
"Was that any good for you?" he asks. Izuku rubs the back of his head sheepishly.
"It wasn't bad," he assures. Shinsō pouts and Izuku can't help but laugh a little. "You can practice more later if you want. I really don't mind."
"You're too nice to me," Shinsō grumbles back.
"I can be meaner?" Izuku offers. Shinsō gives him a skeptical look. "No, you're right, I can't, I'm sorry. Just thinking of something mean to say made me feel bad."
Shinsō laughs.
