Chapter 47: Returning Class

Second update of the day. 

*Izuku's POV*

The day after Shoto and I went on our date, our fellow students began to return to the dorms. Iida was the first to arrive back. He bowed and apologised to Shoto, Kacchan and I profusely before we told him it was ok and he could stop bowing. I was quite concerned about his back health with how much the poor boy bowed. The next few people to return were the Bakusquad and Kyoka. They burst through the door energetically and bounced into the kitchen where Kaminari and Sero wreaked havoc by attempting to cook on the stovetop. Only for a tea towel to burst into flames because they didn't take it off of the hob. Shoto had to put it out with a chilly breeze. Next Ochako walked through the front door with a wide smile on her face, although she seemed to have a different aura around her. She just seemed stronger. After Ochako, all of the rest of my classmates returned quickly, most of them filtered off into their own rooms or their friend's rooms. Only Kyoka, Kacchan, Ochako, Momo, Shoto, Tsu, Mina and I remained in the sitting room. We were all talking about our internships.

"It was awesome. Gunhead is so sweet! He taught me how to disarm someone who's attacking you with a knife. Oh, also he taught me martial arts, only a little bit though. It was so fun! What about you Yaomomo?" Ochako was bouncing in her seat. Her and Tsu were sharing a sofa with Mina who was poking fun at Kacchan whilst simultaneously asking Kyoka to give her singing lessons. Yaomomo fiddled with her hair slightly before losing her upright posture and slouching into the sofa. "I must say that I was expecting a bit more from my internship. Uwabami made Itsuka Kendo and I do a hair spray commercial. I didn't get to see any sort of hero work being done, just Uwabami being swarmed by her fans." Momo sighed in defeat. Kyoka patted her arm gently in reassurance, her face was slightly red as she did so, her crush couldn't be any more obvious. Yaomomo, whilst smart, didn't seem to realise Kyoka's feelings for her and just blushed in return. "My internship was quite eventful, kero. I helped Selkie take down some smugglers. It was an eventful fight, kero. Selkie fought very well." Tsuyu croaked. My eyes shone as I heard about my friend's internships. "What about you three? I heard you came across the Hero Killer: Stain!" Mina shouted enthusiastically. Kacchan tutted and let his head roll back so that it was leaning against the sofa. I had noticed that Kacchan was reluctant to speak about the incident. Whenever either Shoto or I brought it up he snapped at us and told us to shut up about it. I had a feeling that Stain's words were getting to Kacchan. Kacchan hated being doubted and Stain kept saying he wasn't worthy of being a hero, it had really put Kacchan down. "Yes, we came across Stain. It wasn't a pleasant experience by any means. We were all injured and Iida lost litres of blood. The experience was traumatic and it will forever be on my mind. I have no doubt that it will contribute to the PTSD that we will most likely develop when we graduate from school." Shoto drawled monotonously. Everyone looked at Shoto in shock. He had put a big damper on the general mood of the room. I looked around at everyone and saw the solemn looks on their faces. I laughed, sort of hysterically, and thumped Shoto on the arm. "Wow, Shoto! You're so funny! Geez, kill joy much!" I laughed trying to raise the atmosphere of the room. Everyone broke out of their horrified trances and laughed awkwardly before turning to the people sitting next to them and talking. 

"You really need to work on reading the room," I whispered to my boyfriend. Shoto looked confused for a second before comprehension dawned on his features. He looked down at the floor somewhat embarrassed, "Sorry. I'm not the best at social interactions." he muttered abashedly. I smiled at him sweetly and took his hand into my own, "There's no need to apologise. Everyone does something a bit awkward. You'll pick it up soon enough." I assured him gently. He nodded slightly, a small smile working its way onto his face. He laid his head on my shoulder before quickly pecking my cheek and squeezing my hand. "OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD!" Mina screeched like a pterodactyl. Everyone flinched at the volume of her voice. I covered my ears for a second whilst making sure that Mina wasn't going to assault my eardrums again. "Wanna explain why the fuck you found it necessary to make my ears bleed!" Kacchan roared at Mina. She ignored him and started excitedly pointing at Shoto and I's intertwined hands. "Are you two dating?" She asked excitedly. We both nodded reluctantly, we didn't want to make a big deal of our relationship but Mina had just blown that plan. "That's so cute! Y'know, I thought that Todoroki would end up with Yaomomo and Izu would end up with Ochako but this is so cute as well. I didn't even know that you both liked boys. OMG! I could have totally helped you get together! I'm so happy for you.OMG! I can't wait until you get married! You should totally do a winter wonderland themed wedding!" Mina rambled. With every sentence she spoke I became redder and redder. I wanted to disappear from existence. Somehow, Shoto didn't seem very affected, he just looked into space and rubbed his chin. "If I hadn't met Izuku then I probably would have pursed Momo. She is very attractive after all, however that would never have worked since she's a lesbian. I'm not sure about Ochako and Izuku, if they had gotten together I would most likely have been very jealous." Shoto literally outed himself and Yaomomo without even batting an eyelash. "SHOTO!" Yaomomo and I exclaimed at the same time. Both of our faces were red with embarrassment. Shoto once again looked around the room in confusion before his brain caught up with his mouth and he had the audacity to look embarrassed.  "Oh, I wasn't meant to say that," he whispered. I wanted to facepalm so hard at that moment. I looked over at Ochako to see that her face was red as well. Tsuyu had her hand on Ochako's thigh in what looked like a reassuring gesture. I narrowed my eyes and decided to ask about it later, seeing as Dad was yelling for everybody to serve themselves dinner from the food he and Papa had cooked.
