Chapter Text
A couple of days later everyone met up at Todoroki’s apartment to host a live Q&A online. It would hopefully be a bit more enjoyable then the interview had been.
“And we’re live!” Izuku bounced back from where he’d been checking their set up and plugging things in and plopped down on Shoto’s thigh. Shoto near immediately wrapped his arms around his waist and settled his head on his shoulder.
“Yo bro you and your boyfriend need to stop being all lovey-dovey and shit, our fans think your pure and cute and shit. it's disgusting. And burying all the actual questions.” Dabi scrolled through the chat and set the phone back on the table.
Izuku reached out and grabbed the phone right back up. “Okay! Let’s start right up! First question; do any of you guys live together?”
Sero was the first to answer, “Me, Denks and Shin all room together. It started out as me and Denks sharing a three-room apartment with another friend, now three, four if you including Shinsou, because apparently all my friends are in relationships except me!, but then Shin moved in with Denks in his room. and yes before you ask they are in fact very loud. And yes it is pure chaos! And yes it is amazing!”
“We’re loud? You're the one that screams with Mina while playing Minecraft at midnight in the living room!” Hitoshi punches Sero in the shoulder and laughs, Denki smiling stupidly while flopped over the edge of the couch and Shinsou’s shoulder.
Izuku snorted while reading through the responses on the phone he showed it to Todorki who also laughed at it.
“What are you guys laughing about? Keigo sneaked a peek at the phone. “Oh! hey Denki! Stop looking high! Our fans can tell!”
Denki smiled and gave a double thumbs up and fliped himself into Hitoshi’s lap. “Would if I could bro!”
“Me and Bakubabe live together!” Kirishima brought everyone back on track with his exclamation.
Dabi raises his hand and gestured to Takami. “Me and the bird obsessed freak share an apartment.”
“You love me and our bird baby.” Keigo pouts at Touya.
“Yeah. I do. But our neighbors fucking hate her, and us for owning em.” Dabi throws an arm around Hawks pulling him in and pressing a wet kiss to his forehead.
“Me and Sho go back in forth. I still live with my mom, but I spend more nights here then there honestly.” Izulku rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
“Your half moved in Izu.” Shoto’s head was right by Izukus ear and when Shoto talked Izuku jumped up a bit, leading to Shoto giving him a quick glance that clearly said ‘sorry’.
“Okay! Next question!” Kaminari reached forward and grabbed the phone. “Were any of you involved in any clubs during high school?” Kaminari paused and looked at everyone, waiting to see a reaction, no one said anything against it so he continued. “I wasn’t in any clubs myself but I’m pretty sure some of the others were!”
“I was on the wrestling team.” Bakugou mumbled, he looked Really tired. And slightly grumpy and he just nuzzled into Kirishima’s shoulder once he said what he wanted.
“I did football for a little bit, but I didn’t really like it so I ended up just joining weight training class! It was super fun!” Kirishima exclaimed, he looked like an overly excited puppy.
“I did track with a friend.” Todoroki supplied.
“Only if you count getting high behind the school.” Dabi rolled his eyes as affirmative noises came from Denki, Hanta, and Keigo.
“I was in the art club.” Hitoshi looked embarrassed to say it.
“I did cheer! I was the only boy on the team, but it was still fun!” Izuku bounced on Shoto’s leg from the force of his excited hand and arm movements.
“I’m reading the next one.” Shoto grabbed the phone from Kaminari. “You all mentioned being friends beforehand, but did any of you go to the same school?” Shoto contemplated before answering. “I didn’t go to school with anyone here. My brother and his boyfriend did go to the same school as me though, but we never actually were in school at the same time, he is 8 years older then me after all.”
“Me and Hanta were in the same middle school and high school!” Denki added on.
“I went to a neighboring district of them.” Hitoshi answers cooly.
“Kacchan and know each other from kindergarten!” Izuku points at Bakugou who simply scowls in response.
“I went to the same school as Katsuki and Midoriya for my senior year.” Kirishima finished, and grabbed the phone. “My turn! Uuuh- he scrolled a bit to get to some more recently asked questions. “Okay! How many hours of sleep do you get at night.” everyone looked at Hitoshi and Denki.
Shinsou rolled his eyes before responding. “I get like three hours a week. Occasionally more if Denki manages to make me go to sleep.”
Kirishima suddenly threw the phone. “EW! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NEVER READING ANYTHING OUR FANS SAY EVER AGAIN! EW!” Eijirou wrapped himself around Katsuki, like he could protect him from what he’d read.
“What the fuck did it even say? If it was what I think it was I’m gonna fucking kill whoever said it.” Bakugou growled.
Todoroki stood up taking Izuku with him, and picked up the phone to read the offending comment. He cringed and took a screenshot. Just in case they were unable to find it later to block the person’s username. “Why. just- why.”
Izuku tried to grab the phone to read it, but Shoto held it away from him. “Oh c’mon Sho! Why can’t I read it?”
“Trust me Izu. out of everyone in here you are the last person who should read that.” Shoto quieted down so only Izuku could hear him. “We’ve worked so hard to get you to an okay place. I won’t let a comment from someone who doesn’t know any better ruin years of work. Maybe ill let you read it in a couple of months. But I would really rather you not. And I’m pretty sure your therapist would agree.”
Midoriya nodded his head. If Shoto said it was a bad idea- and Kirishima reacted like that- it was probably a bad idea.
Bakugou grabbed the phone from Todoroki and quickly read the comment. “I’m gonna kill them. How could someone even think that?” he was angry, and shocked. The fact that someone who calls themselves a fan would write something like that out and send it to them was disgusting. And the fact that it was about such a nice person. it was disgusting.
Dabi snatched the phone next and skimmed it. “That’s it. We’re done. Q&A over. Sorry guys. If you can teach each other courtesy we’ll try again. But for now, we’re done. Have a good day and all that.” he crossed the room and shut off the camera and mics. And then attempted to disconnect the stream. I took a couple of tries but he did manage to.
“You didn’t have to shut it off! Geeze- what did it even say?” Denki crossed his arms. He was having fun! They could have just ignored them.
Dabi looked at Shoto who quickly got the message and scooped Izuku back up from where he had just placed him on the couch and headed toward his room.
Katsuki pushed Eijirou to follow them. “Hey! Why do I have to leave! I already read it!”
“You don’t need to be here. And you have a hard time with the topic too and you know it.” Bakugou lightly shoved him down the hall, just hard enough for him to be standing upright. “Just go, babe. It’ll be fine. I just don’t want you to panic.”
“Fiiiine.” Kirishima walked toward where Todorki was standing with Izuku and followed them into the room.
Bakugou closed the hall door and grabbed the phone from where Shoto had left it and went into the gallery and brought up the screenshot, then shoved it in Denki’s face. “Read it dunceface. What the fuck does that say? Are we gonna have to explain it again or is it finally getting through your thick ass head?”
Denki read the message before shock came over his face. “Sorry. I should probably just listen when you all say it's too much. That’s disgusting.”
“Hey, it's fine babe.” Shinsou hugged Kaminari. “You didn’t know. C’mon, let’s just go home. I’m sure Shoto and Izuku want some alone time after that.”
Sero stood up and followed them out the door. Bakugou stood up and got Kirishima and left as well. Though he was grumbling a bit the whole time. Touya and Keigo said goodbye for everyone to Shoto and Izuku before heading to their apartment. And their bird.
