They managed to lose the once villains, hiding out in Katsuki's room for the time being. They figured it wouldn't be long before one of them checked there.

They were all softly panting, having just run around the entire campus trying to get away from Izuku's four siblings. "So, boyfriends huh?" Shoto piped up, figuring they'd have to talk about it at some point.

"Oh yeah, sorry about that. I kind of just wanted to piss them off as much as possible and that's the first thing I thought of." Izuku explained, dramatically dropping to the floor and spreading his arms and legs out like a starfish as he tried to catch his breath. "God damn, I need to train more." He said to himself.

"Thanks for that. I hope you know you just signed out death warrents." Katsuki said, sliding down one wall so he was also sitting on the ground.

"Well if everyone else is gonna do it." Shoto mumbled, taking a seat on the ground as well.

"You were already a dead man Kacchan. Shoto should be fine, Dabi wouldn't touch him or let anyone else, he's got to much guilt." Izuku explained, resting his hands on his stomach as he finally started to even out his breathing.

"Good." Shoto said shortly. What Dabi did, abandoning their entire family and then turning around and getting a new one? It completely fucked with Shoto's head. He thought he deserved the guilt.

Izuku raised his head until he was looking at Shoto upside down. "I know you're mad at him, but he really does hate himself for leaving you guys. He really wanted nothing to do with the League other than, you know, villain stuff until he fell in love with Tomura." He said, trying to defend his- Shoto's- someone's brother.

"I really don't care." Shoto responded, staring intently at an empty wall.

"C'mon Shoto, I know what you're thinking. He left your family and got a new one, but that's really not what happened. He just couldn't deal with you dad anymore, you have to understand that more than anyone-"

Shoto quickly cut the green haired boy off. "No, no I don't understand that." He snapped. "If anyone had the right to up and leave, it was me. I'm the one that bastard pushed and pushed until I couldn't stand anymore, until I was puking my guts out, until I needed a hospital, and guess what? I still stayed. I put up with all of it... Why couldn't he?"

Some small, rational part of Shoto knew he was being unfair. Everyone has a different level of tolerance for abuse and pain, and Shoto wasn't even sure what Dabi had gone through when they were kids, so he really had no right to compare them. But he was hurt. He had been hurt so many times in his life, that physical pain barely affected him anymore, but this hurt, this pain, it was different and it cut deep.

"Look Shoto, I understand that. I really, really understand how hurt you must be, but you should know his side of things before you decide to hate him. You have to remember, he was the first kid. He was the first mistake, and your dad never let him forget it." Izuku said softly. He didn't want to upset Shoto even more than he already was, but he couldn't just let him hate Dabi without knowing exactly why he left.

The room was quiet for a few seconds before Katsuki broke it. "Can we circle back to the boyfriend thing? Because we really did not cover that enough."

"Read the room Katsuki." Shoto mocked.

"Fuck off, if you don't have to then I sure as hell don't." The blond shot back.

Shoto rolled his eyes, but turned his attention to Izuku. "If you wanted to date, all you had to do was tell us you know." He said, his voice back to being it's constant monotone.

Izuku's eyes widened at his words. "Wh-what? That's not what- I was just- I'm not-"

"Seriously nerd, you make it so obvious." Katsuki said, referring to all of Izuku's gay panic, which was a lot.

"Excuse me? I don't- What would- I don't even-"

"We've already covered this, we're well aware that you have a crush on both of us. Why're you even trying to deny it at this point?" Shoto asked, moving so he was sitting at the top of Izuku's head, leaning over him.

Izuku was a deer caught in headlights, staring up at Shoto. He had absolutely no idea how to handle the situation.

"Jesus, let him breath half and half. He's gonna have another panic attack." Katsuki said, still in his original place on the opposite wall.

Shoto quickly moved as Izuku shot to sit up. "I am not gonna have another panic attack." He said back in an offended tone.

"Sure, tell that to you're heavy breathing." Katsuki remarked.

That's when Izuku realized that was breathing quite heavy. He placed a hand on his chest, feeling it move up and down quickly. "That's doesn't mean-"

"Before you have an attack, you start hyperventilating. Heavy breathing is how that starts, until you just can't catch your breath, which makes you freak out even more." Katsuki explained nonchalantly.

"You... how do you..." Izuku wasn't sure how to say exactly what he wanted to ask without sounding like an absolute asshole.

"How do I know that? Because I've watched you have multiple by now. I'm observant as fuck, deal with it." The blond said with a shrug.

"Observant in general or just when it comes to Izuku?" Shoto questioned, his tone sounding quite suggestive.

"Oh shut it half and half-"

"-Shoto-" The duel hair boy cut in, but Katsuki kept talking anyway.

"- You can't like you aren't. You were the one who got him to calm down before he bitch slapped his sister." Katsuki pointed out.

"I was not going to bitch slap her!"

Shoto sent Katsuki a smug smile. "If you were really observant, you would have known that he wasn't about to hit her. If anything, he was gonna hit himself."

"I wasn't gonna hit myself!"

"He wouldn't have hit himself. He would have tried to break a bone using his quirk on a wall or something, but he wouldn't just out right hit himself, he wouldn't be able to say it was an accidental injury then." Katsuki argued back.

"That's not- well actually..."

"It would have been to risky with all of us in the room, he wouldn't have done something like that and risk any of us getting hit in the cross fire." Shoto said with a shrug.

"You're not wrong there. Wait..." Izuku said, realizing what Shoto had just done. "Smooth Shoto, smooth." He mumbled to himself as he waited to see if Katsuki would notice.

"So what the hell do you think he would have done? Ripped his fucking hair out or something?" Katsuki challenged, not buying.

"Damn, Shoto's good." Izuku whispered.

"Who knows? He was pissed, probably pissed off enough to not realize he had switched to yelling in perfect English." Shoto said, way to smug.

"What the hell? That's doesn't even- You little asshole!" Katsuki yelled once he finally connected the dots and realized that he was in fact arguing in English.

"I was wondering how long it'd take you to figure it out. Seems like our help is paying off." Izuku said, clearly amused by their bickering.

"Whatever, that was pointless." Katsuki said, directing it at Shoto.

"Nah, it was fun." The duel haired boy corrected.

"How was that fun?" Katsuki asked.

"Because I got to piss you off and trick you." He elaborated.

"Plus we got off topic." Izuku mumbled to himself.

"Heard that Izuku, and don't think we forgot about it. We were literally fighting over who knew you better." Shoto pointed out, looking down at Izuku, who had once again laid back on the ground.

"Why must I mumble all the time?" Izuku, once again mumbled to himself as he flipped so he could hide his face in his arms.

"Been asking myself that since we were kids." Katsuki teased.

"You've been asking me since we were kids." Izuku said back with a joking tilt to his voice.

"Maybe I'd stop asking if you'd stop responding with 'I don't know', every time."

"Katsuki, I do believe we're getting off topic again." Shoto helpfully pointed out, bringing both of the boys back to the whole... boyfriend thing.

"What? Do you two seriously want me to ask you both out?" Izuku said, propping himself up on his elbows so he could look at Shoto with a daring gaze.

"Exactly." Shoto said back, not phased by Izuku's stare.

"No." Katsuki said at the same time.

"Ouch Kacchan, seriously." Izuku said, looking over his should with a hand over his heart.

"Like hell I'd let you ask me out." Katsuki said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Jeez, wound me why don't you." Izuku mumbled, turning back to Shoto. It was obvious Katsuki's words stung, how could they not? Izuku had been in love with him since they were five.

Katsuki slightly panicked when he realized how his words had probably sounded. "Wait, that's not what I meant, you damn nerd. I meant you couldn't ask me out because I'd ask you out."

Izuku flushed red at his clarification. "Oh." He said softly, not sure what else he was supposed to say.

"Dear God, you're both terrible at this, like seriously. You're both worse than me." Shoto commented, watching their interaction.

"No one is worse than you." Katsuki shot back.

"At least I actually say what I mean and don't get so flustered I can't accurately talk." Shoto said, nodding at Katsuki and Izuku in turn.

"I-I can't accurately t-talk!" Izuku argued.

"Sure Izu, sure." Shoto said with a nod, which earned a pout from the smaller boy.

"F-fine! Then guess what? We're all actually dating now. How's that for accurately talking?" Izuku said, finally regaining his confidence as he shot Shoto a glare.

"Starting a relationship with a fight? Yeah, sounds about right." Katsuki said with a nod.

"It's not a fight." Shoto said while shrugging.

"It's a fight." Izuku said afterwards.

"How is this a fi-"

"You made fun of me and now I demand apology cuddles and Netflix." Izuku said as he sat up and crossed his arms, turning up his nose.

"We've been dating for all of two minutes and you're already making demands? Damn, someone's controlling." Katsuki joked.

Izuku opened his eyes as he looked between Katsuki and Shoto. "Wait what? I'm not- I was kidding! I'm sorrying! I didn't-"

Shoto wrapped his arms around Izuku from behind and pulled him to his chest. "Izu, he's kidding, calm down." Shoto said, clearly amused with how freaked out Izuku had gotten.

Izuku pouted at Katsuki. "That was mean Kacchan."

"Apology cuddles and katsudon?" Katsuki asked with a raised brow.

"Oh look at that, you were just forgiven." Izuku said with a beaming smile.

Katsuki smiled while shaking his head. "Yeah, yeah. I'll be back." He said, pushing himself off the ground and going to the door.

"Wait, we can go with and help or something." Izuku offered, moving to get up as well.

"You're being hunted down, remember?" Katsuki said, turning back to them.

"But so are you, at least if I'm there they won't try and beat you up again." Izuku countered. He honestly didn't trust his siblings to not try and break Katsuki's nose again and that wasn't an idea he was very fond of.

Katsuki groaned at the reasoning, but gave in. "Fine, but neither of you are helping. I don't trust either of you with the burners." He said.

"You realize one of my quirks is fire, right?" Shoto asked, letting an overly excited Izuku pull him to his feet.

"You realize I had to use a fire extinguisher on you so you didn't fry Izuku, right?" Katsuki shot back, heading out the door.

"Touché." Shoto said as he followed his two boyfriends.
