Meanwhile, Shoto was being dragged off for a much dreaded photo shoot..
"Come oooooon, you're our income! Just like, look all brooding like you usually do and you'll be fine!!" Momo encouraged with a sadistic snicker.
"..."
"I'm kidding- jeeze Sho!" She laughed after receiving the driest look ever from him.
He turned away with a small hum of disapproval, glaring sourly at the floor. He headed through the door, the photographers beamed with joy just at the sight of him, it made him feel the slightest bit better. At least he was wanted.
"Hello!! Shoto Todoroki correct?" Before Shoto could even respond in a small nod the peppy 40 year old woman ushered him over. "Oh who am I kidding everyone knows who you are! Right this way hehehe!!"
He was dumped onto a white background with blaring lights in his eyes. Big cameras stared at him intently with even more intent stares from the photographers who worked them..
'Why can't they take photos of the others..' He despaired as he was already being positioned like a doll.
"Yes yes, that's it- no a little more to the left- yes, perfect! Now, all you need to do is stare. Three, two, one!" On one the lights flashed violently, Shoto still barely able to contain his flinching after doing this for at least a year or so..
One pose after another hands grabbed and twisted his limbs excitedly like a kid on Christmas. The halfie let it all happen, though he was filled with disgust when their hands lingered for too long..
He was doing this for his friends, his group, Saving Harmony.
Nothing else would ever convince him to do this. Not even if his life was threatened again.
Though he felt pretty threatened when they always started to get too touchy feely.. different photographers, same people. He didn't like that he had grown used to it.
"Laaaast one.. and..." the camera clicked a final time. He was free to leave.
Then someone called for him.
God he wished he was free to leave.
"Shoto! Do you have a few minutes? I'd like to discuss a business opportunity that you'd love!"
He gave the younger women a formal shake of his head and made a beeline for the door.
'I can't deal with all these business offers anymore..'
"Please, just one moment, it's all I ask!!" But Shoto had already escaped to find his friends, internally screaming, 'ASK TENYA, NOT ME,' inside his head.
She caught up, panting. 'She's really desperate for this..'
"I beg you, I've already asked your colleagues and they said that it sounds like a great idea! I just need the all clear from you before I proceed!"
'So I don't even have a choice..?'
He let out a very weak, airy sigh before nodding slowly. She exploded with happiness as she was granted the blessing of giving him a business proposal.
"Are you familiar with the pop group 'Beyond Plus Ultra!'?"
Shoto's expression visibly dropped. They were loud and way too happy for his taste.
"Hear me out - this group has reached out to my agency to find some bands who would be willing to team up for a limited time and dish out some albums!"
'Them.. the group of unprofessional lunatics that get drunk at bars and one by one amass a list of minor crimes large enough to barely rival the size of their ego...'
He conveyed his train of thought with a displeased frown at their name.
"I understand that you are both opposite genre type groups, however if you teamed up I think it would do you both a lot of good to introduce new audiences to each other! More fans is more money, right?!"
His eyes were looking more and more tired with uninterest. But then again everyone else accepted already. He really didn't even have a say in this.
"... I'll cut to the chase. My company is offering 2,000,000 yen to any group that teams up with them."
The halfie's mind flicked back to when Momo called him their income.
"..."
He wasn't sure what to do, apparently the staff that worked for his group knew about this and thought it was a good idea. Did his group even actually know?
"Todoroki? What do you think?"
He raised a hand to signal for her to wait, pulling out his phone to text Tenya. He said he thought it was a good idea too...
He sighed despairingly and nodded, the women lighting up and squealing for joy and then proceeded to chant 'Thank you!' fifty times...
He let out another drawn out sigh. This week was going to be a long week.
"LEMME GO YOU HOES-" Izuku screeched through a mouth full of fabric as he was pinned to the floor. Someone sat on top of him, he couldnt tell who as he was currently being suffocated with a pillow.
"Show some respect Izu! I do have your life in my hands after all~" The person sitting on him teased.
"GEt oFf mE MinA-" he screeched again, recognizing her voice. She sighed dramatically before clapping, automatically his restraints let go. He wheezed, overreacting to get the chance to pretend he was dying.
"We got some news youll love by the way~" Uraraka smirked, this cut off his drama.
"OooOoOo~?" He sat up, clearing fake tears from his cheeks. They were all used to this by now: his odd ability to cry whenever he felt like.
"Yeah- we got news earlier about this~" Mina practically purred, leaning down to Izuku's face before promptly getting thrown off of him. She giggled before whining, "You ruined my hair!"
He stuck his tongue out at her before giggling himself, playful fights were always common.
"Whale-" Denki was smacked by Katsuki promptly.
"Just say well like a normal person!!" He growled out.
"Bold of you to assume Im normal-" They all erupted in giggles again.
"Guys-! Lets just tell the little fanboy!" Ochako barked out.
"Im not a fanboy!" He hissed dramatically, throwing a hand over his forehead with a drawn out, "How daaarrreeeee yyyoooooouuuuu-"
He was smacked with a pillow again, this time by Katsuki.
"We sent out a collab offer and got one back just a few hours ago!" Mina chirped with a smirk, "You wont believe who it was!"
Izuku perked up, growing more interested. "All Might!?"
"No you fucking weeb! He's a superhero from a manga, why would he-" Katsuki's rant was but off by Mina who tackled his legs making him fall over in a string of curses, Ochako jumping to suffocate him with the pillow he just threw at Izuku.
"The Saving Harmony accepted it!!" Eijiro cheered, pumping his fists in the air.
The greenets eyes widened, "Todoroki's group?!"
"tHe FaN bOyS gOinG iNtO gAy pAnIc-" Mina jumped up to joke- tackling the greenet now.
He had actually came out to them not too long ago, they accepted him openly and even pretended to be surprised. It was totally a surprise! Even if he went to gay bars and strip clubs with Eijiro just to see all the juicy boys~
He flushed, "aM NOT-"
"But like- Seriously??" It honestly came as a surprise to everyone.
"Yeah, I was shocked when I saw their name! No joke!" Ochako grinned, she was the first to see it as she was in charge of sorting out the business part of the life of being an idol since no one else wanted to. Though, she was the second youngest, 22 years old. Bakugo was oldest and most grumpy, 25 years old. Everyone who was in the middle were 24 and 23.
Izuku was the youngest in the group of the age 21, and ironically the lead singer, lead dancer, and lead member of the team even though he was also the last to join it.
They all lived in the same flat, though they had separate rooms but were close enough to be blood related. All of them basically knew everything about each other, they were all gremlins too. Though, Izuku secretly had some.. several.. secrets no one knew about. Even Katsuki, who faded out of his life around high school and.. well a part of his life where some.. "things" happened, didn't know.
But it was all fun and games, everyone agreed if they didnt meet each other they would have missed out on a huge part of their lives.
"..wow-.." Was all he could say, already getting giddy. He was going to see Shoto and even talk to him..!
"We should go out and get some drink to celebrate!" Denki grinned, wiggling his eyebrows. They all cheered in agreement, Mina was already calling up a ride for them...
They were sure to get wasted.
