Flashback time

A young Demitri walked into a kindergarten classroom behind a teacher. "Good morning students." She said smiling at the classroom filled with 4-5 years olds at little desks, sitting in pairs. "We have a new student. Kids meet, Demitri Edwards." The young boy stepped out from behind her and waved shyly at the other children before turning his attention to the beautiful ✨floor✨ he looked up at the lady and waited for any instructions he might be given. "Take a seat next to....." She stayed silent her humming loud as she decided who he was going to sit next to.

"Izuku. Yes, You'll sit next to Izuku. Also, Izuku, would you mind taking care of Demitri this week?" The teacher looked over at the Green-haired child who looked up from the book he was drawing in. He stared at Demitri and shrugged before he resumed his drawing. The teacher sighed and ushered Demitri to his seat next to Izuku.

"Hi, I'm Demitri." Said the boy holding out his hand. Izuku stared at him in disgust? or is it confusion?

Demitri pulls his hand back and looked forward as the teacher started the register.

at break

"Hello, Demitri?" The said boy looked up at the girl next to him, her white wings made her and her red hair gave him a good idea about her quirk. "I'm Andrea and my quirk is Cupid. I can make anyone fall in love with me!!" She said happily, Demitri was all of a sudden uncomfortable with the way she was staring at him. "What's your quirk?" She asked getting all up in his personal space. "I- uh, I'm quirkless." Andrea and her friend's staredown at him as he looked down and avoided eye contact with them, he was checking out the ✨smexy✨ floor. "Are you?" Andrea looked at him and glared. "Ugh, you're not worth my friendship. Move." She said pushing Demitri out of his seat. 

"Hello Izuku, you're the son of Mr.Midoriya right?" Andrea sat in the seat where Demitri was sitting a few moments before. The green-haired boy looked at her and rolled his eyes. Izuku got up and walked past her. "Get up, let's go." Demitri looked up and saw Izuku looking down at him, his hand outstretched, waiting for Demitri to grab hold of it. "O-ok." Demitri grabbed his hand and was hauled to his feet. "Thank you." mumbled the shorter of the two(Demitri was the shorter one till they hit puberty) Izuku got ahold of his hand and dragged the ravenette out of the room and towards the playground. 

"Thank you again, sorry for the trouble." Demitri was about to walk away when Izuku's grip on his hand tightened. "Do you need anything?" The green-haired male looked at him and that was when Demitri noticed that said boy's eyes were the most beautiful shade of Emerald green with a hint of Jade at the edges and his pupils were weirdly outlined with a light blue color, They both stayed quiet until Izuku spoke up. "I'm not sure if you remember, but Mrs.Anderson said that I'm supposed to take care of you this week." Demitri nodded and spoke up. "I thought you weren't listening since you haven't said a word yet," Demitri said walking over to the swingset and taking a seat. Izuku sat next to him and looked over at him. "Don't think this makes us friends." Said Izuku pulling out some chips from his jacket(Where did he get it? Noone knows where he got it and they never will) and gave one to Demitri along with some sweets. "Thank you Izuku." both children ate their snacks throughout break time and talked about random things.

Timeskip to the end of the day

"Bye Izuku, thank you for being my friend." Said Demitri as he ran towards an old man in a suit next to an expensive-looking car. "I just told you, this doesn't make us friends," Izuku said as he walked towards his father, who was waiting for him in his hero suit.

"Dad, people are staring." Mumbled the greenette, hiding his head in his father's neck. They were about to walk away when a lady with pink hair and red eyes walked up to them. "Hisashi, Hi." She said as Andrea walked up behind her proudly. "Oh, Mrs.Hernandez, hello, how are you?" Asked the boy's father shifting him in his hold. "My daughter just told me about a piece of news that I think you should know about." She said with a wink as if what she had to say was a national secret. "Oh, what is it?" His father sounded impatient, his suit was hot and He had company coming over tonight. 

"Well, my little angel just told me that your little boy asked to date her in the future today!" She cheered, this made Izuku jump up from his shoulder pillow and blinked thrice. "What?" He asked blinking thrice once more. "Do you not remember Uku?" Andrea smiled and batted her eyelashes at him. "Hernandez, we're not even friends. Why would I date you or even want to date you if we're not even friends?" Asked the boy with innocence in his voice. Hisashi glared at the mother-daughter duo and spoke up. "pardon me ladies but I would love for you both to stop wasting my time." He walked away and Izuku stuck out his tongue and placed his head in the crook of his dad's neck.

Two hours later

A knock was heard and Izuku looked up from his homework and silently watched as his father opened the door. The door was unlocked with a click and the sounds of unfamiliar voices filled the air. A voice was heard, it was familiar. Izuku heard his name being called and got up, walking towards the living room. 

"Dad? Is there something you need?" Izuku turned a corner entering the room. He saw his father sitting opposite a man with red hair, his father motioned him over. Izuku nodded and walked over to his father who picked him up and placed him on his lap(not like that....ya nasty!!!!).

Izuku turned to face the man who was in front of his father and saw  "Demitri?" Izuku asked confused as to why his seatmate is in his home. The man next to Demitri spoke up, "Izuku, how do you know my son?" Izuku blinked, "Demitri is my seatmate." The small green-haired child spoke not looking at the other child in the room. The Red-haired male chuckled, "I didn't know, I just picked him up from our butler and we met up with your dad here." Izuku was still confused but pushed it aside. 

"Putting all of that aside. Izuku, meet Elmorise Edwards, a childhood friend of mine." Izuku looked at his dad and back at Elmore, he smiled slightly got out of his father's grasp, walked over to the adult, and shook his hand. "Nice meeting you Mr.Edwards." Izuku looked at his father "Can I take Demitri to my room?" He asked his father, said man just nodded and watched as Izuku grabbed said boy's hand and dragged him towards his room.

"So." Izuku interrupted him, "No, this does not make us friends."  Izuku got up and walked over to a chest, he opened it and pulled out some toys.

"Are you coming or what?" He asked as he pulled out some toy blocks and some toy cars. Demitri nodded his head and made his way over to the greenette. They played till it was time for Demitri and his dad to go. 

"I'll see you at school tomorrow, Demitri." Mumbled  Izuku not looking at the said boy. "Ok Izuku. Thanks for being my friend!!" shouted Demitri as he got in the car. "I said this doesn't make us friends!!" Yelled Izuku walking back into the house with a huff. 

"Just like you and I. Huh Hisashi?" Asked Elmorise nudging the white-haired man with a smug smile on his face. "Yeah, sadly." Sighed Hisashi as he turned to his life-long friend. "We Midoriya's never change." He said in fake sadness. "Yeah. You guys are all tsunderes." Edwards sighed with a smile of nostalgia on his face. 

"Yeah, you better get him home before he falls asleep and catch a cold," said Hisashi tilting his head towards Demitri who was yawning and rubbing his eyes in the car. "Yeah. I'll see you at the meeting in three days Hisa." Said Elmorise hugging Hisashi and walking off with a wave and smile. Hisashi waved and went inside, locking the door and getting ready for bed. "G'night Izuku." He said kissing his son's forehead. "Night dad." He said as his dad turned off the light and exited the room.

That day started the 6-year-long 'one-sided' friendship. (We all know Izuku considered Demitri his friend.) As the years passed, the two got closer, it wasn't obvious to people on the outside, but to their close relatives, it was obvious. 

When they were in the 6th grade.

"Morning Izuku!!!" Shouted a twelve-year-old Demitri, smiling at Izuku as said boy exited his house with a bored expression on his face, however, as the years had flown by, Demitri learned to read his body language and his eyes. 

As Izuku walked down his front stairs, he nodded at his first-ever nuisance('best Friend'), Demitri.

As they walked to school, they met up with another nuisance(Friend), Andrew. His mother was saved by Izuku's dad and he stayed with them till his mother got out of the hospital as he had nowhere else to go. He(Andrew) somehow got close with both boys and after his mother got discharged, started to go to their school. There they met a boy and girl Grace and James. Both were childhood best friends and they used to bully Izuku and Demitri when they were in the 2nd grade. Luckily a teacher caught them and made them apologize and spend time with each other it took a week for them to talk without an argument, the rest is history. 

"IZUKU!!!" Yelled Grace running up to Izuku and James walked behind her, his hands in his pockets. James nodded in acknowledgment and they all started to walk to school.

"Sooooo," Demitri spoke up after they got to class. "What did you hear now Demi?" Asked Andrew looking up from his book. Andrew and Demitri were class president and vice-president. They had a lot of work to do, especially Izuku who was his Class president and school body president. "Well, Izuku told me we were having a new student today." He said as the teacher walked in and told us to take our seats. The teacher motioned for the student to enter. Izuku walked in with a girl with blue hair behind him. 

"Good morning everyone, this is Lala Frank." Spoke Izuku, pointing to the girl and looking at the class with uninterested eyes. "Thank you, Mr. President. You may go back to class If there is nothing else." Said the teacher. Izuku nodded then turned to the class. "Class president and vice-president, meeting at 3:00, I'll see you both and the others then, have a good day." And with that, he left.

At the end of the day

"Hey, Pres. What's up?" Asked one of the younger students as he took a seat at the large table, there were enough seats for everyone. "As you know, we 6th graders are going to leave the school this year and we need to choose a new school body president and vice-president as well as other positions that need to be filled." He spoke as he watched the 5th graders and eyed them all, obviously judging them.

Two hours later 

"Stay safe on your way home guys!" Yelled Demitri, waving at his underclassmen as they exited the school gate. He stood there waiting for Izuku, who had to do some last-minute class checks. Demitri was on his phone when a boy walked up to him. "Hey, quirkless shit!" He yelled trying to throw a punch at Demitri who dodged. The huge boy tried to land a blow on Demitri who kept dodging. He finally landed a hit, the impact made him fall to the ground. The older boy straddled him and was about to punch him when he was thrown off of Demitri.

"What do you think you're doing?"  asked an emotionless Izuku as he walked out of the school building. "Hey Midoriya(Izuku told everyone to call him by his surname), why do you hang out with this loser? We could have ruled the school." He ranted as he grabbed Izuku's collar. "Because that 'loser' is my best friend. and if you don't leave him alone, I will make your family go bankrupt." Izuku threatened, and the boy let him go and ran away because everyone knew, that any threat made by the young Midoriya, will go through.

"You ok down there?" Asked the green-haired boy staring down at the ravenette, Once again Demitri was reminded of how beautiful Izuku and his eyes are.

"Yeah." He breathed out holding onto Izuku's hand which was once again held out. "I once again have to save your dumbass." Demitri glared at Izuku who smirked at him. "So, I'm your best friend?" Demitri leaned over to his friend's ear. "Yeah, I thought it was obvious since we were kids." Said Izuku genuinely confused. "Izuku, you said we weren't friends- Oh." Demitri got why Izuku never called him his friend. 'Because he thinks I'm his best friend!!!' Cheered Demitri mentally. "Yeah, now let's go. You have a black eye." Izuku pulled him up and glared. "Are you getting taller?" He asked in a playful tone. Demitri had been growing a lot lately and was now the same height by now. "Yeah. Let's go!" Demitri grabbed Izuku's hand completely disregarding Izuku's question, then they ran to Izuku's house where they iced Demitri's bruise and had a sleepover.

A few months later they already left 6th grade and are now in 7th so the group is around 11-13

Demitri had been paired with Lala for a project. They were finishing it up when Lala spoke up.  "Hey, Demitri?" She called. "Yes?" The boy answered, "Does Izuku have a girlfriend or a crush?" She asked wiping up some spilled water and juice. "Ummm, I'm not sure sorry." He said now wanting to know. When he got home he texted Izuku.

In-text

Angel no more: Hey Izuku, how are you?

Izuku answered immediately.

I'm not innocent tho-: I'm Fine, why'd you text? I was doing my homework.

Angel no more: Well, Lala asked me something and I want to know the answer.

I'm not innocent tho-: What is it?

Angel no more: Well she asked if you have a crush or a girlfriend.

I'm not innocent tho-: Well, First off Demitri, I'm pan. And second, I do have a crush.

Demitri was shocked.

Angel no more: Oh? I'm gay and I have a crush.

I'm not innocent tho-: How'd you find out?

I'm not innocent tho-: About being gay, I mean.

Angel no more: I had this crush on a boy back in 5th grade.

Demitri hesitantly sent the text.

Angel no more: I mean I still do, but I don't think he'll like me.

I'm not innocent tho-: Well, any boy who dates you, is a lucky soul.

That made Demitri blush. Heavily at that.

I'm not innocent tho-: If he doesn't like you, he needs to open his fucxing eyes.

Demitri's face was now a dangerous shade of red.

Angel no more: Well, how about we both ask out our crushes?

I'm not innocent tho-: Why?

Angel no more: Well, don't you think the person's worth it?

I'm not innocent tho-: They're worth more than anything I can give them. I won't mind confessing to them but what if they reject me?

Demitri thought it was adorable.

Angel no more: Then I'll comfort you and if I get rejected, will you do the same?

I'm not innocent tho-: Of course, anything for you.

Demitri was swooning.

A few days later

Demitri was walking to his locker with Lala, the others were with Izuku, for some reason. "So Lala, why'd you ask me if Izuku had a girlfriend if you were into girls?" Asked the ravenette as he stopped at his locker, said girl smiled then shook her head, dismissing the question.

"Oh, what's this?" Demitri picked up the paper that had just fallen from his locker. He opened it and read what was written. He smiled, not noticing the green-haired boy sneaking up behind him. "Whatcha reading Mitri?" Asked Izuku, placing his head on Demitri's shoulder and looking at the note. Demitri turned his head, blushing heavily at the lack of space between their faces. 

"Just someone asking me to meet them at the skatepark near your house," Demitri said his face heating up as Izuku turned to face him, their faces millimeters apart. "Ok, well you better come over when you're finished," Izuku spoke kissing Demitri's nose and walking off.  "Dude you good? You're very red right now." Lala spoke, eyeing Demitri as his face turned even redder. "Good luck later, my boy." She spoke as she pulled him along to their next class.

Four hours later

Demitri was walking by himself to the place mentioned in the note. He got there and saw a boy who was in his class. "So, you were the one who wrote the letter?" He asked hiding his sadness. In truth, he was hoping for it to be Izuku and quite frankly, he was so disappointed.

"Yeah, I do. I understand if you don't like me. I just wanted to tell you before it got out of hand." The boy spoke, he smiled awkwardly and looked away from Demitri who smiled at him softly. "I'm sorry but I don't feel the same, thank you for telling me. I hope we can be friends though." Demitri hugged him and waved as the boy walked away with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Uncle Hisa!!!!" Demitri screamed as he entered the house. "What's up Demitri?!" His uncle yelled back from the living room. Demitri walked into the living room and saw Hisashi on the phone, he seemed to be talking to two other men. "Uncle, you and I are talking about the fact that you're blushing after I talk to the asshole you call a son." Demitri seethed, walking up the stairs. "Wonder what happened?" He asked as he went back to talking to the two men.

"Izuku Midoriya!!!" He shouted, slamming the door as he closed it and dropped his bag on the floor. Izuku jumped and turned around to see Demitri with tears in his eyes. "What happened?" He asked walking over to the slightly taller boy and pulling him to sit on his soft bed. "It wasn't who I thought it would be." He mumbled as he placed a pillow over his face and cried. Izuku got up from his place on the bed and walked over to his closet. Izuku pulled out some clothes and a towel, he handed Demitri the items and ushered him into the bathroom, and waited for him to get out. 

Thirty minutes later

"Ready to talk now?" Asked Izuku as he played with Demitri's hair as said boy hugged said his pillow and tried to bury his face in the pillow even further. "I was disappointed, I wished it was someone else." The younger boy said a sob making his voice crack. Izuku stayed quiet and ran his fingers through his 'best friends' hair. "Who were you hoping for it to be?" Izuku asked, Demitri tensed, moved the pillow off of his face, and got up. "What the hell are you doing?" Asked Izuku confused as Demitri rummaged around in his bag. he pulled out a notebook. A pink notebook. He walked over to Izuku and handed the notebook to the said boy. 

Izuku took the notebook and watched on in confusion as the younger laid back on the bed, hugging the pillow he had in his hands before he got up.

"What am I supposed to do with this now?" Asked the older of the two, Demitri looked up, "Read it." He replied turning away once more. Izuku opened the book and read it. He started at the first page, it was Demitri's perspective on the day they met. As he continued reading, he read about Demitri's everyday thoughts, how he would talk about how beautiful Izuku was, and how much he appreciated the life he had. It was good till he got to the last entry. 

It read.

Hey, it's me again. I bet you're getting tired of me huh? Well too bad, you're stuck with me. Now it's time for me to tell you about my day. 

Today, Lala asked me if Izuku had a girlfriend or crush. I was curious as you know, I liked him, in fact, I never said this for fear of him finding out about it. I am in love with my childhood best friend. After finding out he was pan and had a crush, I convinced him to confess to his crush... If his crush is me... I would die of happiness. If it's not me... then I'll be happy for him. Anyways, It's time for bed. Talk to you soon.

Izuku looked up from the book and looked at Demitri who was now on the other side of the bed. He crawled over to the younger and rolled him over. "Come on Demitri, look at me," Izuku begged the ravenette who was holding onto the pillow with a strong grip. "No, you're gonna hate me." The boy whined as the pillow got pulled away from him. He covered his face with both his hands. 

"Why would I hate you?" Asked Izuku getting on top of him, trying to pry the boy's hands from his face. Izuku stopped because Demitri's hands weren't budging. 

Izuku decided to tickle him, placing his hands on Demitri's sides, starting his onslaught on Demitri's side. "HAHHAHHAAA, Ok OK HAHAhhhaaaa. IzUkU, I'll move my hahahahHA hands, just HAHaahha stop." Izuku held Demitri's hands above his head as he panted. "So, you ready to tell me?" He asked as the boy below him turned his face away. "Tell you what? You already read it." He huffed still not looking at Izuku. "I'm not telling you anything till you tell me yourself," Izuku said releasing Demitri's hands, still straddling said boy. 

"Izuku, if I tell you myself, will you give me an answer?" Asked Demitri looking at him, his face red with blush. "Yes, I will," he said staring at the younger boy as he blushed even more. 

Demitri hesitantly reached up, cupping Izuku's cheek. "Izuku, I like you- no I love you. I've been in love with you ever since first grade. I've always found you beautiful and so precious, even though you act like you don't care. You do and that's what makes you so perfect to me. I love you so so much."  Demitri brushed his thumb against Izuku's cheek under his eye. the green-haired boy's face was so red, he stared silently at the boy below him. Izuku and Demitri held eye contact, Izuku placed his hand on the black-haired boy's face, pulling him up. "That's all I've ever wanted to hear out of your mouth." Demitri pulled him closer and Izuku indulged him and they met in the middle and shared a short kiss. Izuku smiled and pushed Demitri down and hugged his neck, nuzzling his face in the space between his collarbone and neck. Demitri wrapped his hands around the greenette's waist. 

"So- Yes Demitri, we're now dating, now sleep so we can confront my dad about the two men later." Izuku interrupted Demitri, he nodded and they slept till dinner time. 

Three hours later

"Dinner boys!" Izuku and Demitri bolted up off the bed as Elmorise burst through the door. "...*Gasp* Hisashiiiiii!!!! Our boys are all grown up!!!" Mr.Edwards ran out of the room with a smile.

"So, Dad," Izuku spoke up as he stuffed a piece of meat in his mouth, his dad looked up and quirked his eyebrows, giving Izuku a signal to continue. "Who were the men you were talking to?" He asked not missing the slight blush as he wiped his mouth. "They were two men who I knew as a kid. We've just started talking again a few months ago."  Izuku smiled slightly seeing his dad talk so animatedly about how he felt like had fallen in love all over again.

"So dad, what are their names?" Izuku asked as the Edwards(Demitri and his dad. Demitri's mother is dead, she died during a mission and Demitri wants to be a hero she would be proud of.) listened in with slight smiles.

"Shota Aizawa and Hizashi Yamada-Aizawa." Izuku sat up. "Isn't Aizawa Inko's maiden name?" He asked taking a sip of his water and eyeing his dad who was looking away not answering. "Shota Aizawa is Inko Aizawa's brother." He said this caused Izuku to burst out laughing. "Oh god!" Izuku wheezed almost falling out of his chair. "I'll take him up to his room." Sighed Demitri, picking his boyfriend up bridal style. Hisashi and Elmorise chuckled as Izuku choked on his laughter.

"Izuku please, stop laughing," Demitri begged as Izuku tried to take a sip of water, however, his laughter made the liquid spill. The ravenette sighed and took the water from him. "Ok at least try to breathe." He said Izuku took about ten minutes before he could talk. "SO you good now?" Izuku nodded and finally took a sip of water. "If Inko ever finds out, I'm gonna laugh my ass off." He said with a cackle, It was cut short by him coughing.

"Ok, Izuku. I have a question." Demitri looked over at Izuku and he looked at me quizzically. "What's up Metri." He got closer to the black-haired boy and sat down next to him, placing a hand on said boy's cheek. "How long have you liked me?" Asked Demitri placing his hand on Izuku's. Izuku blushed and spoke up, "I have since 3rd grade. I never told you because... Of your parents' divorce?" Demitri spoke for him. Izuku nodded and kissed Demitiri's forehead and placed their foreheads together. They stayed like that till late when Izuku took a bath and they fell asleep cuddling each other. 

The next morning

"So, is there anything different today?" Asked Andrew sitting next to Demitri who was at his desk writing notes. "No, not really." He said taking a sip of water and going back to writing. The others walked in five minutes later and asked the same thing, they all received the same answer, however, they never commented on the lie he blatantly told them.

"Morning everyone!" Yelled the class president as she burst through the class door, she had pale blue skin with aquamarine hair, had two deer-like antlers protruding from her head, and her eyes were completely black with yellow radioactive symbols for pupils.

"Morning Darling Dear!!!" Shouted the class as the happy girl walked up to the board and started to do attendance. "Demitri." She looked up and deadpanned at the boy. "Are we not gonna address this?" She asked annoyed, not at the boy but at what Izuku was doing. "Izuku please let go of my student and go to your class." She said to her friend. "Darling, no." He said hugging Demitri's waist. 

"Whatever." Mumbled the girl as she sat in her seat. 

At lunch

"So, what's up with this?" Asked Andrew chewing on a piece of carrot. "Oh, We're dating, Bye Metri" said Izuku kissing Demitri and getting up as a teacher called him. "Bye Izuku." Said Demitri waving. "No, we're not going to talk about this." Demitri said as he started to eat.

'At least he's happy.' Thought the nameless boy who confessed to Demitri with a smile.
