《Just for the Summer (TodoBakuDeku)》Chapter 8

~Time Skip~
Izuku's POV~
It's been about two weeks since the first night we all fell asleep on the couch. After Kacchan turned up at Todoroki's dorm the next night, we've all just gotten into the habit of all sleeping in one of our dorms. Between Kacchan's nightmares and Todoroki's insomnia, they both needed help to be able to get any sort of sleep.
Besides all of us just sleeping together, we've also got a lot... closer? More friendly? I don't really know how to describe the change.
Kacchan rarely yells at either of us anymore, at least in a malicious way. It's Kacchan, so he yells a lot, but like, he isn't mean about it anymore, if that makes sense.
Todoroki had opened up a lot more around us. He's just... getting more used to being around other people. He had been isolated for so long as a child, and then even getting to UA, he still managed to keep himself separated from everyone. The past few weeks he's walls have been slowly coming down.
Kacchan and I had also discovered his sense of humor.
Besides just those things, we had all gotten more... affectionate? Like we were nearly always holding hands or leaning on each other. If we were just hanging out around the common room, I was usually laying on one of them or being used as a teddy bear, which seemed to be my job title at that point.
Currently, Todoroki and I were both hanging out in my dorm, waiting for Kacchan to get back from his parent's house. His mother had asked him to go and check on everything, since she was still gone on her trip and his dad was... I didn't actually know where his dad was. Doing something, I assumed.
"Hey Midoriya-" He started, but I cut him off.

"Todoroki, would you please direct your attention to the way we are currently laying?" I asked him politely. I was finally going to bring up something that had been bothering me ever since our second night of being... cuddle buddies?
He looked down at how we were positioned. He had his back against the wall and I was laying on his chest, facing him as our legs were intertwined. "What'd about it?" He asked me, probably more confused than he was letting on.
"Do you think we're past last names yet?" I asked him. I had actually been worried about bringing that topic up. I wasn't sure what any of us were to each other, or how actually close they considered us, so I wasn't sure if I was opening a door I'd rather have stay shut.
Realization crossed his features. Another new thing about him. He had been letting us actually see what he was feeling, dropping his stoic expression. It was a relief if I was being honest. It was just to hard to figure out what he was think or how he felt before. Now, it was getting easier.
"Well yeah, I just wasn't sure what you were okay with." He said honestly.
I looked up at him in surprise. "Really?" I asked him.
"Yes Izuku," He said, emphasizing my first name, "I'm always cautious with you two. I don't want to make either of you uncomfortable or anything." He said with a shrug.
"Awe Shoto! You can be so sweet when you try." I said teasingly, pinching one of his cheeks, earning a small smile.
"I wish you smiled more." I said randomly, before slapping my hand over my mouth.
He reached up and moved my hand away. "You know you're allowed to say stuff like that, right? I won't be upset or offended. I like knowing what you're thinking about, especially when it's about me." He said, actually winking at the end.

I giggled at the gesture. "Have you been hanging out with Kaminari lately?" I asked him as a joke.
"I wish. I've had all my time lately, taken up by two certain boys. They're quite the handful." He said back, deciding to continue the teasing.
"Well I'm sure you're no walk in the park either." I retorted, sitting up on his lap and crossing my arms sassily.
Just then, Kacchan walked into the room. He took one looked at our position and snorted. "What'd you do this time, Icyhot?" He asked.
"Kacchan!" I said happily, trying to get up and go to the other, but Shoto decided that I wasn't allowed to, and grabbed my hips, successfully keeping me in place. "Hey! Let me go." I pouted.
"No, I don't really feel like it." He said casually, shrugging his shoulders.
I knew I couldn't take him without the use of my quirk, and I wasn't about to Detroit Smash him because he wouldn't let me get up, so I resorted for back up. "Kacchan, Shoto's being mean." I said to the blonde.
He chuckled at my predicament and walked over to my bed, taking off his shoes as he went. He dropped himself down on the other side of the bed on his side, propping himself up on one of his elbows. "Sounds like a you problem, nerd." He said.
I gasped at him. "But Kacchan, you didn't hear what he said about us!" I exclaimed, smirking at Shoto. I knew I'd get Kacchan on my side quickly.
"Izuku, I was kidding!" He said.
"What'd he say?" Kacchan asked, his curiosity peeked.
"He was complaining that we were taking up all his time! And that he'd rather be hanging out with Kaminari." I explained.
"Did he really now?" He asked, looking over at Shoto.
"Oh c'mon, I was joking!" He tried to defend.
"I think I'll just be taking the nerd then, and you can go hang out with dunce face." Kacchan said, quickly grabbing me out of Shoto's arms when he wasn't expecting it and booking it out of his dorm.
He set me down once we were outside his dorm. He grabbed the handle and pulled tight, making it so Shoto was locked in. "Oh for the love of God, you two! Let me out of my room!" Shoto yelled through the door, trying to pull it open.
"Listen to me Deku," Kacchan said, grabbing my attention. "Go hold the door to the stairwell open for me. I'm gonna let go of his door and we're gonna book it down the stairs, got it?" He whispered to me, so Shoto couldn't hear us.
I giggled and nodded, making my way to the stairs. I held the door open and got ready to run when Kacchan let go. He mouthed a count down from three.
Three...
Two...
