Izuku was thrilled that he got to spend this time with Shoto. The stream had been about two hours and had just ended, it was mostly just Izuku and Shoto mainly just messing around and laughing. Despite the fact Shoto didn't speak, his laugh was gorgeous nonetheless.. even if it was silent.

"That was fun.." Izuku giggled out happily, Shoto offering a half smile. He was also enjoying himself quite a lot.

"Would you want do to this again?" Izuku gave him puppy eyes as he said this causing Shoto to roll his eyes playfully before nodding with a small grin.

Izuku actually found himself longing to hear his voice again.. it was always deep and soft back then.. so soothing. He loved it really.

The greenet realized what he was thinking when Shoto snapped in front of his face with a concerned expression making Izuku's cheeks flush a little. "I-I'm fine!!"

He... he really was falling in love with Shoto all over again...

"..hey Sho?" He couldn't stop himself, staring at the floor as he spoke softly, getting a hum in reply. "..can.. you talk..?"

Shoto visibly froze. Of course his mind screamed something much more different at the very mention of words.

'Don't say a word.'

He felt himself pale and shake a little, raising a hand to hold his head before something soft tugged it down.

Shoto blinked, staring at Izuku who was holding it, tracing lines into his palm which made him shiver.

"..I heard you mumble some words when you're drunk... your voice is really pretty Sho." He smiled, never meeting Shoto's eyes. It looked like Izuku was too scared to. "..can.. can I be the first to hear when you're ready... Sho..?"

Shoto was really shaking now.. but not from anything internally. Izuku was.. familiar...

He didn't understand what it was, but it's like something clicked inside his head. Just... a sudden realization that he knew Izuku.. from somewhere.. and it wasn't because he was an idol.

For the first time ima. Long time the halfie.. forced himself to dive into his memories, searching for his face.

But that mental block was in the way.

In the next second Shoto blinked Izuku was right in front of his face, cheeks quickly flushing as he leaned back a little, though it as as if the greenet wasn't even looking at him but more like through him.

"..do you finally remember me?"

Izuku spoke, lips barely moving as he stared into him.

This took Shoto aback greatly, enough so to make him gape in confusion. What did Izuku mean, they only met like a month ago-! Yet Shoto felt like he did know Izuku. At some time he couldn't ever remember.

For once since the time that his life was ruined, sober and sane, Shoto felt his lips moving on his own before he could stop them.

"...I..zu..?"

He almost didn't even notice he spoke, mouth still hanging open, Izuku practically in his lap by now from how far forward he was leaning.

Both of them stared at each other in total shock.

"You.." Izuku breathed out, light practically flooding into his emerald eyes making them sparkle as a grin took over his face and he tackled Shoto in a hug. "-said my name!"

Shoto was somewhat still in denial at what just happened, holding the back of his shirt gently as he touched his own lips.

'I.. really did talk..'

There was no demanding voice screaming at him right now. Only the awe of the fact Izuku really was changing him. For the better this time..

Izuku laughed and beamed at him, holding him tight.

If Izuku really got so happy... if anyone really got this happy... maybe he should really try more.
