After healing from his multiple cuts from the confrontation with the Hero Killer: Stain, Todoroki made it back to school. The police and news released that his father Endeavor had saved them and detained Stain, which was true for the most part. Todoroki just didn't want to relive that nightmare.

He walked into class quietly, listening to everyone rave about their own internships, and sat down by his desk. His mind kept wandering back to those last minutes of being in the alleyway. He had questioned Iida when he woke up but he shook his head and told him to relax, there was no need to stress over a small detail.

But Iida didn't know. He didn't know who the person was. How would he? Midoriya didn't go to school at UA, he probably brushed off his vision from the lack of blood and oxygen when he passed out.

He let out a small sigh and looked down at his hands. He couldn't shake the thought that he made friends with a villain. A teenager who went the wrong way.

He didn't notice Kirishima and Kaminari walk up to his desk until Kirishima got his attention with a pat on the shoulder and smiled.

"Yo! Hero Killer, huh? That must've been scary, bro! How are you doing overall?" Kirishima asked, his smile not wavering. It was almost a comforting smile, trying to warm Todoroki with his own sunshine.

Todoroki waved his hand as if to dismiss the question, "I'm healing. I don't really want to dwell on anything from that night."

Kaminari looked at Todoroki and gave a thumbs up, "Gotcha!"

There was laughter that broke out in the front of the class as Bakugou made his way inside, his usual spikey hair flat and parted to the side. Sero and Kirishima took note of this and had exploded into laughter, tears forming in the corner of their eyes.

"It won't go back!!" Bakugou had yelled at them. As if the universe wanted Bakugou to get laughed at, his hair popped back into its usual explosive look. The boys laughter only got louder. Todoroki chuckled under his breath and started getting his books out to get ready for class.

It was almost a week since the Hosu attack happened and Dabi and Toga were introduced to the League of Villains. Midoriya warmed up, for the most part, to the new villains; Shigaraki was annoyed beyond belief. Dabi had made it his new life goal to be a piece of shit to his new boss, and Toga just obsessed about random things and Midoriya. Kurogiri wanted to disappear.

"I'm just saying, if you wanna get kinky, you'd give into that adrenaline rush of giving a killer hand-job," Dabi had directed to Shigaraki. Toga giggled and even Midoriya had to bite down a laugh.

Shigaraki snarled at him and drowning himself in a bottle of cheap whiskey. He still wasn't over his loss from Hosu; Toga and Dabi reminded him plenty about it. Midoriya and Kurogiri were smart enough to not be in the same room when they brought it up.

Dabi not only took a twisted liking to Shigaraki, for some weird reason Tomura didn't push him off when Dabi got too close, but also to Midoriya. While Toga would frequently ask Midoriya about his "boyfriend" Todoroki, Dabi started asking him what he knew about his new friend. But not quirk-wise. No. More of "what's he doing now?" or "how's that shitty UA treating him?"

Midoriya learned quickly not to pry, but he had a hunch that Dabi and Todoroki knew each other… Somehow.

Once the weekend of their first week back rolled around, Ashido thought it would be fun for the Bakusquad (Bakugou still gets angry at that) to go to the mall to hang out. Sero quickly agreed, calling it "quality friend bonding time". Kirishima excitedly asked Todoroki if he wanted to join, it wasn't like he was going to take no for an answer anyways.

"Hm, yeah, I'll go," Todoroki had nodded softly. He was about to ask if he could bring a friend, but brushed it off quickly thinking it would be rude for the others.

Bakugou was a bit harder to crack for a positive answer. "Huh? You shitty kids wanna go to the mall? For what?"

"To chill!" Kaminari had announced from behind Sero. "Maybe we can go to the arcade! I bet I can beat you at that Mr. Pac Man game!" His eye sparkled with a challenge.

Bakugou was not the person to back away from a challenge, no matter how stupid. "You're on, Pikachu," his smile curved upwards in a vicious smile.

Ashido smiled, "Then it's settled! Friday, after school we'll head over!"

Midoriya was startled from his nap on the couch with a vibration from his phone. He shuffled himself to find his phone, which somehow got from his pocket to under him. He grabbed it and squinted at the brightness, opening it quickly. It was a text from Shouto.

Hey Izuku. How are you? -Shouto

Midoriya quickly sent a I'm fine and waited for a response. Dabi walked into the bar from the stairs as he felt vibration run through his hand.

I was wondering if you wanted to meet up again this weekend? I'm going to the mall Friday afternoon with some classmates, but I'm open Saturday. -Shouto

"The mall?" Midoriya had mumbled out under his breath. Dabi looked over to him from the bar counter, where he proceeded to grab a bottle of liquor.

Sure, what did you have in mind? He sent the message with a confused emoji face.

"Who ya texting, Bunny?" Dabi asked into the open air. The nickname, originally from Toga, stuck on quickly. Midoriya figured he'd keep it, it was better than "Deku" anyways.

"Just Shouto, he wants to hang out again. Supposedly he can't on Friday, something about going to the mall with friends from his class."

"We should surprise him then. It's not like his friends know you anyways. Plus, it'd be good to get out of this sex dungeon for once," Dabi chuckled.

Midoriya thought about that for a long minute. He didn't know any of Todoroki's friends anyways and he could brush it off as a separate random thing and not planned at all. "Yeah, okay. Let's do it."

His phone vibrated. Maybe dinner and the park? But eat at a restaurant first, then chill at the park. -Shouto

Perfect, see you then.
