Chapter 21: Green Eyed Monster
"You bought another console?" Dabi asked staring at the new system in Izuku's room.
"I did so Tenko had one to play."
"It's been nice not having to split screen," he said.
"How do we want to do this?" Izuku asked, "There's six of us, since Kurogiri went to get some rest."
Tomura put an arm around Izuku's waist.
"I'm with you."
Dabi rolled his eyes. Of course. He had the evil thought to pit his hero boyfriend against him but never mind.
"I'm with Izuku too!" Himiko yelled grabbing his arm.
"Ok, then," Dabi said, "Ready to get your ass beat?"
"I don't think so," Tomura said giving him the finger.
"Call of Duty?" Shouto asked.
"Fucking finally. I'm tired of playing Halo," Tomura said, "Let's get started."
"I didn't even get a say!" Jin yelled.
"We don't have a third console otherwise you would've been with your baby momma."
"Awww, I'm your baby momma," she said giving Jin kisses all over his face.
Dabi gagged at the affection earning him a dirty look from Jin.
Shouto, Dabi and Jin sat on the couch. Izuku, Tomura and Himiko sat on Izuku's bed. They started up their game against each other. For the next two hours, there was lots of yelling from both rooms and occasionally Izuku could hear Shouto yelling too. He was pretty quiet until people got to know him.
He was an ass too but not as bad as Katsuki.
It took time for Shouto to get used to other people because of the things that had happened to him when he was younger. His trust was not cheap making him a little like Tenko in that sense. The fact he was willing to play in the room with Dabi and Jin spoke volumes. He might've not known his brother well, but he trusted him completely, even if he was a villain.
Much to Tomura's dismay, Shouto was an excellent gamer and he could hear Dabi's evil cackle whenever they won a game. He wanted to throw his controller but Izuku had just bought it three weeks ago. He didn't want the game system because he knew how much it was and he protested but Izuku wouldn't hear it.
"You ok over there?" Izuku asked.
"I will kill him," he hissed.
"You've been saying that for years. You would miss him too much," Himiko said with a grin.
"I'll kill you too."
"Go ahead, Uncle Tomura."
He dropped the controller in his lap.
"Really?!"
"Uncle Tomura, look alive. The next round is starting," his boyfriend teased.
He grinded his teeth but didn't say anything,
"Aww, he does love you," she said,
"SHUT UP!"
Himiko fell into a fit of giggles.
They all decided on a thirty minute break. Shouto and Izuku were in the kitchen making sandwiches since it was already one in the morning and everything was closed. Izuku made one for Shigaraki piled with twenty pickle slices earning him a weird look from his best friend. Shouto placed down the knife on top of the mayo jar.
"So.... that night Bakugou decided to drop a building on.... you didn't wanna go in because....?"
The dual user gave him a guilty look.
"I was afraid I would see him in there and I couldn't fight them."
"I see. I didn't wanna fight them either actually."
"Well, he was there and I was afraid that if I let you stay with him.... You might've ended up dating him anyways or he would've made you break something. I would've had to hit you with a fist of ice if you tried convincing him to date you."
Izuku looked horrified.
"You would do that to me?!"
"Damn right I would."
Izuku stuck out his tongue.
"I really don't like Bakugou. It's not the way he talks or the amount of cussing he does. I can handle the sarcasm and everything but not the way he treats you. That's why I don't like him."
The hero said nothing.
Once everyone ate, they jumped back on but they switched teams up. It was now Izuku, Dabi and Jin VS Himiko, Tomura and Shouto. The game was way more intense as Dabi and Shouto continually sought each other out to keep killing each other to the point Tomura was getting annoyed. Himiko wasn't the greatest player since she liked to knife people instead of shooting them.
By the eighth game, Tomura had enough. He stomped back to his boyfriend's bedroom, grabbed Dabi and forced him onto the couch.
"I'm tired of your shit. The two of you have been separated forever and you're a alike. It's fucking annoying I had to deal with his bullshit now I gotta deal with yours."
Shouto and Dabi stared at each other before looking back at him. Neither one of them said anything so he stomped away.
Well... It was the worst mistake Tomura had made because the Todoroki brothers started killing him and him only non stop.
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"
"Wait! Don't!" Izuku yelled.
It was too late.
Tenko's temper flared up and he chucked his game controller at the two brothers. They moved out of the way in time. The villain had thrown it so hard it had embedded into the wood of the entertainment stand. Needless to say.... gaming night was over at four in the morning. Izuku could tell they made him mad on purpose but he had to admit it was pretty funny.
Izuku looked at all them being squeezed into one couch and one the floor thinking he needed to get a love seat or something. Or maybe a pull out couch for Dabi.
"You're muttering," Tenko said.
"Huh?"
"Let him be. I find it quite endearing," Shouto said.
Oh no. That was the wrong thing to say.
Tenko's eye twitched.
"Watch what you say," he hissed.
Shouto grinned evilly, "Really? He was my friend first. How do you know we didn't date?"
Dabi's head snapped to the side so fast it almost broke. Tomura's eyes were blazing with a new type of fury.
"What?"
"NO! Don't say stuff like that Shouto!"
"Did you date him?" Tomura snapped.
"No! I never dated anyone but you!"
"This is fun," Shouto said looking pleased with himself.
"I already don't like him," Tomura muttered with pink cheeks.
"Stop both of you."
"Hey, that donut place is open," Shouto said, "You want to go?"
Izuku frowned and looked away.
"We can't."
Shouto frowned and scratched his head.
"I have an idea," he said, "Give me ten minutes."

"I cannot fucking believe this," Tomura said glaring out the windshield.
"I think the pink wig looks good on you," Izuku said.
"I look like fucking cotton candy!"
"Shouto trying to be nice."
"He isn't because I look like a fucking drag queen Izuku! A drag queen!"
"Himiko had to make you look different. There's nothing wrong with having black eye liner on."
"Whatever."
"Shouto wanted us to go together. Be nice."
"Why? You like me looking like a girl?"
Izuku looked offended.
"If I wanted a girlfriend I would've gotten one. You look like a whole different person. The disguise worked. I want to go out with you."
Shigaraki crossed his arms. Izuku pulled over and parked the car. They really needed to talk.
"Look at me."
Tenko did as he asked.
"I have no intentions of stopping being a hero. I love what I do and you know that. People are going to flock to me. Guys and girls will want my autograph. Sometimes now..... they're all over me and that's why I work at night. It pays a little more and it keeps the people off of me but when I'm out it happens."
Tenko didn't say anything. Izuku could see the anger in those crimson eyes.
"This is my life. I didn't do it for the fame or glory. I didn't ask you to change.... but you did all those things on your own and it does make me happy. Are you sure you want to be with someone like me? I know we are so different but... that's what I like most about you. You get me thinking. I like that about you."
This was not the time for this kind of talk. He was in the worst, foul mood thanks to his pink hair. He couldn't come up with an answer but just stared at the hurt hero. Did Tomura want to be with someone like him? The person who took on All Might's legacy to be the greatest hero after him. He had sworn to kill the hero but now his Master which was his father figure was gone....
Was he having a mid life crisis? He wasn't even that old yet to have one. Was he having a hard time coping and he was acting out?
"Are you ok?" Izuku asked.
"I um....."
"Are you jealous about Shouto?"
"No."
He was a horrible liar.
"You're lying."
"Really?" Tomura snapped.
"I don't like Shouto like that. If you seriously aren't jealous of him and you think he's picking on you, then I can talk to him."
"Fine. I was. I see the way he looks at you."
Izuku made a face.
"He told me he would literally die for me because we are best friends. He's in love with someone else."
"Who?"
Izuku shifted in his seat with a weird smile on his face.
"I don't know if I should say. It's um.... unorthodox."
"I'm a villain and you're dating me."
"Point taken.... Well... I will say it in the words that he spoke. Shouto has a thing for cougars.... So he's dating our old teacher.... Midnight."
Shigaraki's face was indescribable. He opened his mouth then a weird smile appeared on his face.
"The reason I mentioned the fans is because if you're going to be jealous of Shouto, you're going to jealous of all of them too."
The villain said nothing. Izuku reached out and stroked Tenko's cheek.
"You have no one to worry about because I only have eyes for you, ok? You have to dump me first to get rid of me."
"That's fucking unfair."
The hero cracked a smile.
"Why? What makes you think that?"
"Because you act like I would just come out and hurt you like that.... You probably also know I wouldn't be able to do it either."
Deku grinned, "I know, that's why I said. So you're stuck with me."
He started the car back up.
"Let's get some donuts."
After an hour of eating breakfast, they all headed back to Izuku's apartment with donuts for Kurogiri when he decided to show up. The hero left a little note for him to let him know they were all probably going to sleep until early afternoon. Izuku searched the closet for stuff for Shouto to sleep on since he decided he wanted to stay and hang out with Dabi.
"So, they all just hide in the other room?" Shouto asked.
Izuku nodded, "That or Kurogiri warps them out of here."
"Ah ok."
"Mom knows already."
"Really?"
He nodded. Shouto smiled oddly.
"What? Did I say something weird?"
The dual user went to open his mouth but Shigaraki cleared his throat.
"Can we go to bed already?" Tenko complained standing in the hallway without a shirt on.
Izuku chuckled.
"Goodnight Shouto."
Izuku gave Tenko a kiss before they headed back to his room together.
