Y/n laughed awkwardly, nerves and anxiety spreading through her chest. She chose to ignore her heart, yet again and continued to lean on his shoulder, welcoming his warmth. Her eyes closed as they sat in a comfortable silence. Her nose wrinkling at little when she smelled something sweet in the air. Y/n's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, getting closer to Katsuki, and inhaling his sent into her lungs.

Katsuki grimaced and cursed under his breath. Scolding himself for not taking a shower after his work out, he probably smelled like caramel.

Y/n stared into his vermillion eyes, with mischief swimming in those e/c eyes of hers. "Katsuki, why do you smell like candy?"

Great, Katsuki thought.

If he told her about it, she wouldn't let him live it down. Embarrassed and with tinted red cheeks, he cleared his throat to spill his secret.

However, before he could say anything. They heard a couple of footsteps and rushed talking outside the training room, both looking away momentarily from each other.

Katsuki almost thanked the heavens when he was saved by Shouto running to where they sat and practically shoved him out of the way.

"Fucking, hell! Icy-Hot, calm down, she's fine!" Katsuki whispered-yelled after being shoved away from Y/n and so brutally too.

Shouto with his right hand at the ready with his ice quirk, placed it over Y/n's eyes without a second thought. She winced from the quick change of temperature then sighed in relief when her eyes stopped throbbing.

"Thank you, my prince." She gave him a closed eyed grin.

"Princess, I cannot express how upset I am at you right now." He scolded her right away. Ignoring Katsuki's grumbling protests from being shoved away.

"Here we go..." Y/n mumbled when Shouto began to reprimand her.

Y/n heard Izuku giggle when Shouto started to whisper yell at the girl for being so reckless with herself. However, still remembering to keep his voice down and being considerate for the headache she had.

Still, wanting to get his point across he let his unfiltered mouth ramble off. While handing her the pain medication to take.

Y/n opened her eyes obediently when he told her to open them and gave her the eyedrops she requested. It stung at first, but after a few seconds the feeling went away. Then he put his cold fingers on her eyes again. Still ranting about how this could permanently damage her eyesight if she continued to ignore the warning signs.

"Y/n, I think you've become a masochist at this point. In some situations that is fine. There is a fine line between pain and pleasure. However, never with your health." Shouto grumbled agitated.

Y/n almost choked on the water she was sipping. Sometimes, Shouto's bluntness knew no bounds.

Her, Izuku and Katsuki turned bright red from his comment. Shouto didn't seem to notice how they all avoided eye contact, as he kept going off.

How could she treat her health like it was nothing?! Shouto thought to himself. "You need to start listening to your body when it tells you to stop... Of all the things, we already have a careless Izuku and Katsuki we don't need another one! I didn't even feel the pain, which is weird –"

"Oi!" Katsuki protested, while covering his reddened cheeks.

Izuku only rolled his eyes, already used to Shouto's rantings.

However, Shouto didn't give them any mind and continued. "– because last time, I was able to pinpoint you right away when I felt your anxiety. I don't understand." He mumbled quietly. "If you don't start saying anything sooner young lady. I am going to follow you around. Who else is going to take care of you if you don't do it yourself –"

Y/n covered Shouto's mouth with her hand stopping him mid rant. "Shouto, I'm sorry for worrying you, but I'm okay, really." She gave him an amused smile, finding him cute for how worried he was.

"Your health is no laughing matter." He mumbled on her hand with expressionless eyes.

Y/n flabbergasted looked over at Izuku who was trying his hardest not to laugh at the whole situation. "I'm glad you find this amusing Izuku, you're not going to scold me too?"

Izuku shook his head while holding on to his stomach. "Nope, I'm sure Shouto will do it enough for the both of us."

Shouto nodded his head agreeing with his best friend.

He's only ever seen Shouto worry this badly about someone he deeply cares for. When they became best friends, Shouto would always be somewhere nearby, making sure Izuku was okay. He would yell at Izuku when he wasn't taking care of himself too.

Shouto didn't feel the need to worry about Katsuki nearly enough as he had to worry about Izuku. Katsuki was always better at taking care of himself.

Izuku just thought it was funny to see it happen to someone else other than himself though. This meant, the two-toned haired man really did care for her. A sign that he was starting to become attached to her too.

However, Y/n groaned from all of this. "For the love of God. If you guys are just going to yell at me, I'm gonna leave." She got up ignoring their protests, walking away from a worried Shouto and Izuku.

Katsuki tried not to laugh when he saw the direction she was headed to, deciding not to say anything.

Surely soon, she'll realize she was headed straight towards a wall.

Izuku appeared in front of her in a flash. Green electricity wrapping around his figure as he used his quirk. Making Y/n yelp, scared from his sudden appearance. "I don't think so angel. You're not leaving here until we're done with you."

Y/n gave Izuku a deadpan expression, stomping her foot and crossing her arms. "Dammit Izu, let me leave."

Izuku still chuckling shook his head. "Nah-uh you're getting the whole lecture. Besides, the door is the other way. Don't want your pretty face to run into the wall." He playfully booped her nose with his finger, making her wrinkle it in displeasure.

She heard Katsuki and Shouto chuckle from behind her. All she could do was whine in annoyance, wanting to run away from them. She should feel embarrassed about all of this. However, this has happened to her so many times before – already used to people laughing at her for how blind she was.

She's lost count on how many times she's ran into things. With her eyesight cloudy and unable to direct herself, Rosalinda would always guide her around to places, whenever she overused her quirk. Making fun of her to lighten the situation they were in.

Having the three of them laugh at her now though, irked her and annoyed her in away.

"I hate all of you..." She grumbled, then yelped when she felt Izuku throw her over his shoulder. "Izu?! Put me down!" Holding onto his sides for dear life, she tried to scramble off him.

"Nope, you could end up hurting yourself." Izuku chuckled at her when she started to kick her dangling feet.

"Guys, this isn't funny!" She let herself hang like a sack of potatoes, attempting to make herself heavier so Izuku would let her down. However, he didn't budge.

If anything, he carried her with ease. He was used to carrying multiple people at a time from saving them during his work studies, so this was nothing to him. He smirked at her attempt thinking it was cute though.

"Aww come on sweetheart, it's a little funny." Katsuki laughed along with Shouto, adding more fuel to the fire making Y/n's eyes flash scarlet.

"Yes, definitely amusing." Shouto smiled wider when he saw the glare Y/n was giving them all.

Izuku, gently brought her down to stand on her own feet, once they were close to their little group again. Grinning at her puffed-out cheeks as he pinched them. "Come on now, you don't want to ruin that pretty face with frown lines, now do you?"

Y/n still feeling irritated, pushed Izuku away, annoyed at how they were ganging up on her. "Don't antagonize me broccoli boy." Her voice came out sly, sweet. Almost too sweet for Izuku's liking.

"Oooh, she's in trouble now." Katsuki chuckled. His voice mocking and a little bit louder now that he noticed her headache was probably going down.

"Horrible decision." Shouto standing next to Katsuki, crossed his arms and nodded, agreeing with the blond.

Y/n not backing down, squared off against Izuku. Still, only seeing a smudged silhouette, with a mesh of green and black colors. "I'm not scared."

Izuku clacked his teeth with his tongue. Sighing heavily from her stubborn behavior, shaking his head at her. "You really do know how act like a brat don't you angel."

"That's worse than calling him Deku." Katsuki pointed out.

"Or even, problem child." Shouto agreed again.

Y/n rolled her eyes to glare at the two behind her, who put up their hands up in surrender.

"What, don't give us that look. He hates it when people make fun of his hair, not his fault it grows out that way." Katsuki shrugged knowingly. "Shit, I get mad when people call me an 'Angry Pomeranian' I look nothing like that rat of a dog." He smirked when Y/n rolled her eyes at him.

"Yeah, I don't look like a candy cane either." Shouto added, remembering the first time someone told him he looked like a candy cane.

Confusing him for the whole day, he stared at pictures of the candy on his phone, trying to find the resemblance. In what way did he resemble a cane made of candy? He thought internally.

Izuku groaned annoyed at them both. "I swear, it happened once. Only once, did I snap at someone and you two won't let me live it down..."

"Don't start with your shit, you know you scared the crap out of Endeavor. Your eyes even flashed with your quirk and everything." Katsuki pointed accusingly at Izuku.

Making Shouto laugh softly, remembering the traumatized look his father had when Izuku snapped at him.

"I don't get mad when people call me that. I was angry because, I hadn't slept. We had a final exam. Then work studies that same day, and he was yelling at me. Sue me for lashing out. Believe it or not I get irritated too, not just you Kacchan. I just know how to control it better." He told them incredulously, arms flying around at how ridiculous they sounded for believing he got mad for something like that.

"Sure, sure. Whatever you say." Katsuki smirked from Izuku's bewildered expression.

Shouto getting close to Izuku, patted his hair like he would to a dog trying to console him, "There, there. You don't look like a vegetable at all."

The green haired young man gave a small glare to his best friend, "Shouto, you're not helping!"

Y/n unable to hold back, laughed from the way they interacted with each other. They seemed so close it reminded her of herself and siblings when they would bicker. All three boys turned to Y/n, who was laughing with small tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." She put her hands up in defense. "It's not funny, I shouldn't be laughing. You guys just act so much like siblings..."

"I am not related to these twerps..." Katsuki's eyebrows furrowed in disgust, offended she would even think that.

"I'm an only child." Izuku almost pouted from being reminded he didn't have any siblings. He did always want to have a little brother or little sister.

"I think we have a beautiful friendship too." Shouto smiled widely with closed eyes, ignoring the glare from Katsuki.

Y/n squealing, took small steps towards Shouto and squished his cheeks, bringing him closer to her level. "Shouto you pure soul!"

"That's Deku, Icy-Hot is on the other side, dumbass." Katsuki grumbled.

"Oh! Whoops, sorry still can't see that well." She grimaced. "Still, Izu's soul is pure too!" she felt Izuku smile into her smaller hands when she began to squish his cheeks more. "I love those freckles too! I wish I could see them right now. They always remind me of the stars..." she pouted slightly, sad that she couldn't trace them properly with her finger.

If Y/n wasn't blind as a bat she would have noticed, how Izuku turned red as a tomato.

"Anyways..." Katsuki grunted to gather their attention. Y/n half turned still holding on to Izuku's cheeks messing with them a little as he whined for her to stop. "Are we going to ignore, what Icy-Hot for once, smartly deduced?"

Shouto not understanding him, cocked his head to the side. "That we are best friends? That is nothing new? And I consider myself as an intellectual person. I did beat you, on last year's exams."

Katsuki wanted to strangle Shouto, for what felt like the millionth time this week. "No, you idiot! You said you didn't feel her pain. Neither did I, and I'm assuming the nerd didn't either if he didn't say anything. Which means, we can only feel Y/n's emotional pain, not physical."

Y/n oohed and awed, making grabby hands towards Katsuki's voice, after letting Izuku go.

Katsuki rolling his eyes grumbled that she was acting like a damn child, but still took her excited hands into his with no resistance.

"Suki, you're so smart!" She touched his arms, trying to find his face and earning a small hey, from the blond. Never one to like being groped in front of other people, he growled for her to stop until, "Ah there it is!" she giggled softly, patting his face.

Turning him slightly and giving him a big smooch on his cheek, when she found what she was looking for. Katsuki smirked at the other two boys, who were fuming quietly, each giving him their own scowl.

"Enough of that, let's take you to the dorms." Izuku took Y/n's hand gently into his, pulling her towards his direction.

Katsuki narrowed his eyes at the gesture. However, decided to stay quiet to not disturb their found bliss. Y/n just got out of her cheerless mood, and he didn't want to ruin this for her. The three of them felt when her spirits lifted while they were bickering, making them sigh in relief. It always did happen when they were all together.

"Wait, aren't I going to train with you too?" Y/n cocked her head to the side confused, looking like a small puppy to them.

Shouto, Izuku and Katsuki glanced at each other. It was such an innocent yet trained question. They somehow, had to get that trained soldier mindset out of her. It wasn't her fault she never prioritized her wellbeing. They were catching on to the small details of the life she lived in captivity. And they did not like what it showed them one bit.

Shouto reached out grabbing her other hand into his larger one. Purposely using his left side to warm her cold hand. He didn't miss the way she shivered and held onto his hand tighter, wanting to feel his warmth and getting closer to his left side.

"We're done for today princess, and besides it's late. I'm sure Izuku wouldn't mind skipping what he had planned for today and work on it tomorrow?" Shouto asked over Y/n's head towards his best friend.

Izuku twirled a lock of Y/n's hair in between his fingers as he talked. "Of course, we don't want to over work her either." He smiled down at Y/n as she turned towards his voice.

Katsuki getting in front of the trio, pushed Y/n's bangs back from her face, poking her cheek in the process. "It's settled then, let's take you back to the dorms, yeah?"

Y/n nodded at the three, happy that everything didn't turn into a fight.

Katsuki walked in front of them, ready to defend them against any danger, while everyone walked behind him. Izuku held onto Y/n's left hand, while Shouto held onto her right. Making sure she wouldn't trip as they walked back towards the dorm.

It seemed like the morning's quirk accident, didn't create any tides between any of them and she was grateful for that. They chatted as they walked, riling up Katsuki a couple of times and each one managing to get threatened in some form with mini explosions.

Y/n genuinely smiled, feeling light and blessed. I can get used to this.

Little did they know, someone had been watching them the whole time and recorded their conversation.
