Chapter 24

Nico

"Um..." Midoriya says, looking to Todoroki, who looks up.

"Yeah, that's fine." He whispers, and Midoriya steps back, letting me in.

"Did he tell you?" I ask quietly, and he looks at me.

"You knew?" He asks, and I nod slowly, taking a deep breath.

"I found out... him and I teamed up as you could tell... I was pushing him to tell you as soon as he was cleared." I whisper as Midoriya sits next to Todoroki.

"To say I was shocked was an understatement...I don't even know what I feel...I'm happy... angry..." He says, and he looks to Midoriya, who just squeezes his hand.

"He just told me right before you showed up at the door... I don't know how to help." He mumbles, and I take a deep breath.

"I don't know how much he told you about his life, but I can tell you what I know." I say, pulling up a chair in front of him to sit down.

"He lead with him being my older brother...I don't know much. He was a villain...he kidnapped you and Bakugou." He says, and I stop him.

"I left willingly, and I was manipulated by Shigiraki. Katsuki...he told me it was mainly Shigiraki who bothered him...Touya was just there. He helped, yeah, but he was the nicer one of them all...Touya didn't want to hurt innocent people, and he didn't....not really. He only went after other criminals...ones that harmed their families..." I said, and he took a deep breath, sighing, looking conflicted.

"You know... I had an older sister." I say, and he looks at me again.

"You mentioned her briefly." He says quietly, and I nod.

"She died on her first quest in my world... I know you were a toddler when Touya ran away... but I can tell you how you're acting you want a relationship and let me tell you... as someone who lost an older sibling... if there was a chance she was alive... no matter what she did... I'd do anything to see her again. Your brother came back from the dead, basically. He's been cleared by the commission of all crimes and accepted by UA as an assistant teacher. That should say something... at least give him a chance... he saved my life... I owe him this. He talked about you... he wants a relationship with his baby brother." I explain, and he tool a shaky breath and wiped his eyes...

"Di Angelo...give him a minute..." Midoriya says, and I nod, standing up.

"You guys can call me Nico." I whisper and make my exit and take a deep breath sighing.

Did I do the right thing? I don't normally get involved in private affairs, but I felt like I owed Touya this. I also got along well with Todoroki, and I don't want him to make a mistake.

"Is he okay?" I hear, and I look up and see Touya walking up to me.

"He's processing... I tried to help... I owe you that and... I don't want him to make the mistake of not getting to know his older brother." I explain, and he sighs.

"I'd understand. I haven't been a model citizen." He mumbles, and I snort.

"Yeah, but you're trying. Give him time..." I say, and he looks up.

"I just want him to know I thought about him, Natsu and Fuyumi every day. I thought about coming back so many times. I missed out on so much. Especially with him...if he'd let me, I'd love to try to rebuild that with him, I love him... he's my brother." He says, and a voice speaks up behind us.

"I'd like that too...Onii chan." I hear, and I turn to see Todoroki in the entrance of Midoriyas room, and Touya looks at him.

"Shouto..." He says, and before you could say anything else, Todoroki ran up and hugged him.

I step back next to Midoriya, who was smiling.

"We were going to go look for him...Shouto heard you guys... I think they'll be okay." He whispers to me, and I smile a bit seeing the siblings embrace each other.

I turn to walk away, but I hear Todoroki call my name, causing me to turn.

"Call me Shouto." He says with a small smile, and I nod and smile and turn back around.

I'm glad that ended on a good note.

"Maybe living here will be better for me after all." I say to myself.

I barely look up as I bump into someone going up the stairs.

"Watch where you're going." The guy snaps, and I shoot him a glare.

"I don't know who the hell you think you are, but I clearly didn't mean to. Who are you anyway? You don't live here." I snap, getting a better look at him.

He had blond hair and blue eyes and was skinny. He reminded me of a slightly better-looking version of Octavian.

Slightly.

"You class a students are so full of yourselves. I'm Monoma Neito from class b. Now that I think of it, I've never seen you before." He says, and I roll my eyes at his attitude.

We're full of ourselves?  Try looking in the fucking mirror.

"Di Angelo Nico, I guess you could say I'm a transfer student. Again, I don't see why you're here. The class b dorms are next door." I say, crossing my arms. He looks me up and down, scoffing.

"They really will accept anyone, won't they? I have to bring Aizawa something from Vlad, not that it's any of your concern." He says, and I grit my teeth.

"Whatever." I state, turning around, taking a deep breath.

"Wait... I think I have heard of you... you don't happen to be a Bakugous play thing we've heard about, right? The one that got taken by the League? Guess you two are perfect for each other if you both are stupid enough to be kidnapped." He says, and I felt a spike of anger run through me, and I turn around, and he smirks.

I flicked my wrist, and the shadows slowly started to head ever to Monoma, but suddenly someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me back, and I looked to see Shinsou Hitoshi in front of me

"Monoma just leave him alone. We have the match next week. You can let that class hate out then. Go do your business and leave." He says, clearly annoyed, and Monoma scoffs.

"Whatever, Shinsou." He says and turns and walks off.

Shinsou rolls his eyes and turns to me.

"Di Angelo Nico. Shouta and Hizashi said they were adopting you." He states, and I nod.

"Yeah, you can call me Nico." I say, and he smirks and puts a hand out.

"Hitoshi." He says, and I smirk back and stick my hand out, giving him a hnad shake.

"Thanks, by the way, for getting him off my back." I explain, and he nods.

"Monoma can be a real jerk. Especially to Class A students. He isn't so bad at points, but he doesn't know when he's pushed it too far... you looked like you were about to attack him." He states and I sigh.

"My powers are tethered to my emotions. I'm weak right now, I just got out of the hospital... but I was ready. He brought Katsuki into the conversation. It wasn't even fucking nessary." I say defensively and he sticks his hands up.

"I'd be the same way." He says and I smile a bit.

"I can't believe you're with Bakugou. That's not a jab. I'm just surprised. He didn't seem like the relationship type." He says as we head back up.

"It kind of just happened. We clicked well, and you didn't hear this from me, but he's really sweet when it's just us." I say, and he smiles a bit.

"That's good. He has calmed down a lot from the start of the year. Him and I got into it at one point, but to be fair, I antagonized it. I was in Class C or Gen Ed, and a bunch of us went to their class to scope them out. A lot of us wanted to go to the hero course, and they'll transfer students if they score high in the sports festival. They got into a disagreement with Bakugou, but other than that, we haven't spoken. I did well in the sports festival, and Shoutas been training me at home and at the dorms. They just approved me to transfer, I start next week." He says, and I nod a bit.

"I have no place to judge him. You can ask my cousin Percy..... I was a bit of an ass. I massive jerk. I'm doing better now..." I say trailing off, mentioning Percy.

He was quiet for a minute, like he was trying to find the right thing to say.

"I'm sorry about your friend... you passed out, but I was there. I knew about you already, I saw you a few times, but Shouta and Hizashi were already talking about adopting you before you left with the league... I saw your friend... I saw Bakugou...I have never seen him like that before, so I can tell you two are good for each other." He says, and I look at him.

"Thanks... Percy is getting the help he needs, so hopefully, I hear back soon...." I explain and he nods.

"Oi Zombie Boy!" I hear and I look and Katsuki walks up to us. He nods at Hitoshi before turning to me.

"Was wondering if you were coming back, I'll go heat up your food. Though the idiots wanted to watch a movie downstairs." He days pushing my glasses back on my nose.

"That's fine I don't really care." I shrug and he looks at Shinsou.

"You're idiot trying to fucking see how many things he can charge at once." He says and Hitoshi face palms.

"Denki..." He mutters before running off.

"He's with Kaminari?" I ask and Katsuki nods.

"I don't see Brainwash a bunch, but I obviously hang around Dunce. They got together after the sports festival." He explains, and I nod a bit, then turn to him with a raised eyebrow.

"Brainwash? Really? That's just his quirk." I state, and he snorts.

"Shut the hell up. I don't interact with him enough. Plus, Dunce will get pissy if I give him an insulting nickname." He says as we walk to his room, grabbing the food and heading to the elevator.

"You ever try calling people by their actual names?" I ask, and he laughs at that.

"You?" He says, and I elbow him, causing him to smirk.

"I'm your boyfriend asshole. Plus, you still call me Zombie Boy more." I explain, and he just chuckles.

"Deal with it." He states, and I hum as we head to the kitchen.

"What you guys order?" Kirishima asks, coming up to us.

"Food." Katsuki states, and I roll my eyes, and Katsuki passes Kirishima a box.

"I saw your text prior to ordering about the movie." He says, and Kirishima opens it and grins.

"Thanks, Bakubro!" He exclaims, and I peak and see a bunch of grilled meats.

He heads over to his spot where their setting up for the movie, and I look at Katsuki.

"That was sweet." I tease, and he shushes me by shoving a dumpling in my mouth.

"Shitty Hair is my best friend. Deku may be like my brother, but we had our issues, but... Kirishima was the first friend I had made in a long time. Not like the tagalongs I had in middle school." He says, and I smile a bit.

"I get that, Jason was like that to me." I say, and he nods and kisses my head.

"Awww." We hear, and we look up, and Ashido was grinning ear to ear walking up to us.

"Shut up raccon eyes." He snaps but I see a red tint on his cheeks and she just grins.

"I was just coming to get popcorn Blasty. I'll leave your cuddle session in a minute." She giggles and he rolls his eyes.

I press myself close to Katsuki, nothing against Ashido but she has way to much energy. I never know what to say to her.

He finishes heating our food up, and we head over, and Kirishima scoots over, patting a spot on the couch.

"Should we turn off all the lights? Make it completely dark?" Ururaka asks

"Revelry in the dark" Fumikage says.

(Kyrie_Dragonheart I told you I'd add this in the next updated chapter🤣 you kept commenting "revelry in the dark")

"I'll take that as a yes." Sero says turning the lights off.

Katsuki sits down and then pulls me in his lap, making me blush, my back against the corner, and my legs over his legs.

Kaminari and Hitoshi and Shouto and Midoriya sat underneath us on the ground against the couch.

Touya sat on the loveseat near us when someone came bursting in.

"Hey, corpseface, heard you joined the good side." I hear, and I turn seeing a guy with dirty blond hair and giant red wings.

"Oh god, who let you in?" Touya asks, and I raise an eyebrow.

"Hawks, you know him?" Fumikage asks.

Oh, this is the number 2 hero.

"Went undercover on the League. I was closer to this one right here, I always knew you had a good side." He laughs and jumps on the love seat next to him.

"We're about to watch a movie? Would you like to join us?" Yaoyorozu asks and he grins.

"Why not? Nothing like spending time with an old bud and future pros! Just got off of patrol anyways." He says and wraps a wing around Touya.

I smirk a bit, and Touya glances at me and shoots me a glare.

Katsuki chuckles quietly, and I look at the screen curiously.

"Di Angelo, Touya...do you like going by Touya or do you have a surname?" Iida asks and Touya glances at Shouto.

"Perferably Touya, I don't associate with my family outside my siblings." He explains and Shouto smiles a bit.

"Alright, Touya. From what I can gather, you two haven't watched many movies. We wanted you guys to pick." Iida says, and Touya and I look at each other and shrug.

Iida started listing movies off, and Touya seemed not to care at all. A lot of them were cartoons from America,  I listened a bit, but I didn't care until I heard the movie that caught my attention

"I used to read that book." I mentioned, and Iida stopped and looked down.

"Dr. Seuss Horton Hears A Who. I haven't watched this in years." He says as he puts the movie in.

"That came out in the 1950s. How did you read it? Weren't you in the casino?" Katsuki asks me quietly.

"People brought all kinds of things in there. It probably came with a kid who lost it or something, I just remember my sister reading it to me." I whisper, and he nods.

"Never seen the movie?" He asks, and I shake my head.

The movie started, and I started eating my pork gyozas watching it.

I started getting dragged in watching it with high interest. Katsuki played with my hair.

Soon, the mayor's son showed up, and I heard Touya laugh.

"It's fucking Nico." He jokes and everyone busted up laughing. Even Iida and Yayorozu were trying to hide their snickering.

I turned red, and I hid my face in Katsuki's neck, and I felt him chuckling.

"There's a small resemblance." He jokes, and I playfully punch his side.

"He wears black and has black hair, ha ha." I say, rolling my eyes but couldn't stop the smile on my face.

I glanced over and saw Touya leaning against Hawks, who had his wings around both of them, and I smiled.

For the rest of the movie was generally quiet, I found myself lying against Katsuki dozing in and out.

He pulled the couch blanket over me at one point, and soon enough.

I was out like a light.

Time Skip

I hear quiet voices around me, and I curl into something warm.

"You're different with him." I hear a familiar voice.

"I'm different with with fucking everyone Shitty Hair. Depends on the relationship." Katsuki whispers.

"That's true, but with him, your patience. You're caring. Like it or not, BakuBro. You're different with him, and that's okay." Kirishima says, and I feel a stop, and suddenly they start walking.

Is Katsuki carrying me?

"He just makes me feel something..." Katsuki mumbles, and my face flushes a bit, but I try to hide it by acting like I was moving into his chest a bit.

"I'm glad you deserve love. I've been thinking about asking Kyoka out." He says.

"Do it. Don't be a fucking chicken either." Katsuki states and I hear a door open.

"Does Aizawa know he's sleeping in your room?" I hear Kirishimas amused voice.

"I'm going to wake him up in a minute. Up to him if he wants to stay, I'm not gonna make him, Aizawa can come to me if it's an issue. But as of now, the rule is no females and males in the same room." Katsuki snaps, and Kirishima laughs.

"Fair enough. Night, dude." Kirishima says, and I hear him walk away, and Katsuki walks and closes a door before gently lying me on the bed.

"I know you're awake fucking faker." He chuckles and I open my eyes.

"I literally just woke up while we were in the hallway." I groan, rubbing my eyes.

"I know I could tell, anyways do you want to stay in here or your room?" He asks, and I hesitate.

We've napped together. This is probably no different.

"I'll stay...I don't really wanna be alone." I mumble, and he nods, understanding.

"Do you need anything from your room?" He asks, and I nod.

"Yeah, clothes." I snort he shakes his head a bit amused.

"No shit, I'll grab it for you." He says, and I hand him my key card.

He leaves, and I flop back on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

I hope everyone back at the camps is okay... I miss Hazel.

Nico...

I sit up confused, looking around, I see no one.

That sounds like it's coming from my head...

It is.

Oh.

Don't worry, I'm not Shigiraki... you'll see me soon, though.

How can I trust you? The last person in my head tried to turn me insane.

I swear on the River of Styx, I won't do anything to harm you or your loved ones.

Your voice is weird...

It's so you don't recognize me.

I know you?

A little bit, anyways this is the last time you'll hear from me until we meet again.

Again?

Goodnight Nico, don't forget to take your binder off before going to sleep.

Wait!

Come back!

Who are you?

Hello?

It's gone...

I sit on the edge of the bed, frowning. That's when Katsuki comes back. it seems like he changed at some point.

"You alright?" He asks, and I hesitate, then sigh.

I promised I'd be more open.

"I heard something... like how Shigiraki would go on my head? But this is different from the voice...it's muffled sorta but... something about it... I'm probably going crazy." I groan, putting my head in my hands.

Katsuki sits next to me and grabs my hands.

"You sure it's not Shigiraki?" He asked, and I sighed.

"Something about it...it can't be...I'm sure of it..." I say, and he nods.

"I trust your judgment... if it comes back, we should tell Aizawa." He says, and I nod and take a deep breath.

"I'm tired." I mumble, and he hands me my clothes, pajamas for tonight, and clothes for the morning.

He even made sure to grab a clean binder.

"I'll turn around so you can change." He says, and I smile a bit as he did that.

"What a gentleman." I tease, and he waves his hand dismissively looking the other direction.

I quickly change in my skull pajama bottoms and my jack skeleton t-shirt.

"You can turn around, also I've gotten so many of these shirts from Percy and Jason, and the only thing I know about this movie is that the characters name is Jack Skeleton and that it's played through Halloween and Christmas." I state, and he turns and laughs.

"I know the next movie we are watching." He says, and I snort, crossing my arms over my chest awkwardly.

His gaze softens from teasing to a soft, caring expression, and he pulls me in his arms.

"I love you." He whispers almost like he was trying to assure me. And I lean up kissing him.

"I love you too." I whisper back, and he tugs me over to the bed, and we get in, and he holds me in his arms.

"When did you change?" I ask, and he hums.

"I stayed in your room when you were gone. A few of my clothes are in there, so I thought I could knock out two things at once." He explains, and I nod.

"Nico." He says softly, and I look into his crimson eyes.

"I know it will probably take time. But you don't need to worry about being uncomfortable around me. About your binder and things. I will always respect your boundaries." He says sternly, trying to make sure I understood what he was saying.

"I know... I just need time adjusting." I explain, and he nods and kisses my forhead.

"I love you." He says again, and I lay my head against his.

"I love you too, Katsuki Bakugou."
