Chapter 3: Overheard
_ones shot_

Its a very nice day for Izuku to take a stroll around the beach.

It's barely five and he is doing some stretches besides a lamppost, his only source of light in the darkness. It doesn't bother him, not at all.

He finally started to jog, breathing in deeply as adrenaline started to shot through his system. The shore is silent and vacant. The only sound he heard was the rock music playing on his earphones and the crashing of the waves on the sand.

Very relaxing and contented...

That's when he spotted two persons sitting on the sand, feet bare as the sea water touched their toes. They looked like they are arguing about something.

Izuku shrugged it off and went to keep going, but as soon as he is ten meters away, he stopped. The sun finally peeked through the horizon, scaring the darkness away.

One with pale blonde hair, and another with two evenly colored white and red hair. Katsuki and Shouto.

He wasn't expecting this.

He looked around for anything that he can hide to, but there was only palm trees seven meters away from him. He panicked, don't know what to do.

If he stopped by and said hello, Katsuki might give him another mouthful. But if he run away, he might be seen by them. So he decided to stay and hide, thinking that they won't take long to argue.

Sneaking on, he wounded his way towards the clumps of palm tree and sat on the roots. He sighed and paused his song.

"-why don't you want to let them know?" He suddenly heard as soon as he hit the pause button.

"Fuck no!" Katsuki responded.

The voices kept coming closer, as if the two are walking towards his spot.
Mostly, Izuku felt guilty for listening like this but his curiosity got the best of him.

"This is bullshit Shouto, can we just wait till graduation?" Katsuki's voice turned gentler this time. "That's like three more years. I cant stand it" Shouto explained.

Izuku turned his head slowly to peek, they are standing just two meters away from the place he is hiding. They are facing each other with a look of frustration etched on their faces.

"Why are you so fucking wiling to tell?!" Katsuki exclaimed, his hand flinging around. "Isn't it obvious?" Shouto asked before sighing.

The taller teen stepped closer to the blonde one and took his hands.

Izuku's eyes widened in surprise. He is totally not expecting this.

But after minutes of staring at each others eyes,  Katsuki stepped back and pulled his hand, blushing weakly. "I'm not dumb bastard, I clearly know why...but its still too early" he said.

Shouto frowned, "Too early you say but you kept nagging me to stay away from Momo and Midoriya. How ironic." He said before smirking.

Katsuki clearly didn't like that, "Its because Momo looks perfect for you and Deku is too fucking adorable for my own comfort. I just don't like cute...that's the point" he growled.

Izuku smiled uncontrollably.

"Then we will announce it tomorrow" Shouto decided, voice hard. "Screw you bastard! If you announce it, I'll just act as if I don't know you...no one will believe you anyways" the blonde said mockingly.

"Your really very hard to persuade" Shouto sighed, then his arms snaked around the shorter man's waist and pulled him closer.

"You ass-" There was a long silence and Izuku covered his eyes.

This is so wrong. He shouldn't be listening to this, nor watching them kiss. He peeked after five seconds but they aren't finished yet.

Honestly, he saw hints of them together but he ignored it, thinking that it might be just some kind of accident. But what he is looking at right now is not something done by accident.

He finally heard the gasping, as if sucking in for air.

They are as still hugging, and Izuku is starting to feel uncomfortable in this awkward situation. He wanted to run but that's too risky.

"Fucking pulling young trump card huh" Katsuki said, a small smile on his face. Shouto shrugged, "can't resist..." He tried to lean in once again for another kiss but the blonde teen pushed his jaw upwards. "Fuck off, that's enough for this morning" he mumbled.

"It won't hurt you if we announce it"

"You will get hurt bastard, your father will not like this kind off news"
Then they started to argue once more while walking away.

Izuku sighed, he never knew that they are this close and he is happy for his childhood friend. The sun is already halfway on the horizon and that is his cue to leave.

He continued his jogging...

Classes rolled by.

Izuku decided to talk to Shouto since Katsuki is still annoyed at him. "Hey, Todoroki-kun, do you have a minute?" He asked, eyes catching the blonde teen glaring at him.

"Yeah sure"

"Um, when I was jogging...I uh..." He is now fidgeting with his sleeves. "Uh...saw you and Ka-chan...um..." He bit his tongue when he said kissed.

"What?"

"I mean... Do you have relationship with Ka-chan? You two seemed so close and all...it's not like I'm against it, you two are really fine. I just...um...wondering, yes, I'm wondering" he swallowed. Katsuki is now starting to head towards them.

"My relationship with Bakugou?" Shouto asked, not surprised at all.

"Yes"

"He is my boyfriend"

He heard explosions nearby and the loud laughing of Kirishima. Izuku sighed, the guilt finally leaving his system.

"I expected this much" Ochako said, grinning. "They are too obvious" Asui added.

Katsuki stumbled next to Shouto, face beet red as he tried to cover his embarrassment. "I knew it" Momo said, sadness visible on her voice. Izuku felt really sorry for her...

Many congratulated them...

Izuku smiled as he watched them...

Extra:
Izuku sighed and went to sit down on his chair, flipping his hero analysis journal.

He stared at the last page, where there is a written statement: 'life is unfair'. How come Katsuki got all the happiness;

And he, who is suffering the most, doing his best, the weakest, and the one who has the most sacrifices got nothing?

His phone vibrated, he opened the message and chuckled weakly. 'I guess were the same' Shinsou texted as if reading his mind.

He looked around the room and gazed at all of his classmates smiles. He picked up an eraser and started to erase the statement on his notebook.
