Chapter Text
Hanta knew he was screwed the moment Denki caught him and Shoto stumbling across campus together.
Originally he was distracted by how openly affectionate and expressive Shoto was, clearly no longer caring about the world around him—then again, Hanta supposed it being seven in the morning with very few students roaming about had something to do with it, but he was proud of Shoto nonetheless.
But, all it took was a split moment for Hanta to take his attention off of his boyfriend to notice a blaring yellow mess in the near distance. Hanta stopped for a moment, focusing his eyes and clarifying that he was, indeed, staring at Kaminari Denki who seemed to have ordered several coffees. Hanta assumed the coffees were for Denki given that he had a major assignment coming up that Hanta was actually supposed to be his hype-man for.
Yeah, Hanta supposed he deserved the resulting chaos.

RIOT: HAH

KJ 🎶: and there he goes...again
static shock ⚡: HE BLOCKED US???? WE CAN’T ADD HIM BACK???
RIOT: oh that’s cold
mina: i think it’s deserved
static shock ⚡: man you really aren’t a morning person, huh?
Hanta chuckled at the group chat, glad that they seemed to have gotten off track, although he knows the relief won’t be for long. As soon as they see him in-person later, Hanta fully expects that they’ll bombard him with questions and demands for details.
“Hanta?” Shoto brings Hanta’s attention back to him and away from his phone. He decides to mute the group chat for now and deal with the consequences later.
“Sorry, just the squad, you know?”
Shoto smiled. “Did they find out already? I can’t imagine what they would be texting about otherwise this early in the morning,”
“Yeah.” Hanta drew out in an exasperated exhale. “We crossed paths with Kami just now. He went straight for his phone,” Hanta huffed out a tired laugh which was succeeded by a vicious yawn. He’s never been up this early before, to the point where he was certain the world didn’t start until near noon. The peace and quiet was refreshing, but he’d love nothing more than to go back to bed.
“Well if they know, then I’m sure it’s only time before my friends know. I mean, if it’s not going to be Uraraka hearing it from Kirishima, then it’ll certainly be Izuku, who’s probably already with Bakugou and saw the messages,”
“Maybe not, because Bakugou left the group chat and blocked everybody,” Hanta recounted with a laugh.
Shoto laughed as well, figuring Bakugou would do something like that. “Either way, I’m glad I don’t have to bring it up myself…I never anticipated how embarrassing it’d be to say that I’m dating someone officially now.” Shoto continued, a light blush on his face. Hanta’s chest swelled and he and Shoto got absorbed in kissing each other for a few moments before they remembered their surroundings and continued on back to Hanta’s dorm.
Thankfully, Denki wasn’t there, probably holed up in the library trying to finish his assignment. Hanta considered being a good friend and going to be his hype man after he failed to show up for him the previous night; however, Shoto made a comment about them picking up from breakfast on the way back to his place, one that he promptly followed with an insinuation that they probably wouldn’t even get the chance to eat it, though, which had Hanta’s desires beating out his reason by a long shot as he started packing his clothes and other essentials faster.
And Shoto hadn’t been lying about not getting the chance to eat breakfast. The next time Hanta woke up, it was half past two in the afternoon.
Hanta walked into the living room after only pulling on some boxers and finding Shoto on the couch in one of Hanta’s oversized shirts. Shoto’s phone was buzzing relentlessly and Hanta could only imagine what chaos his group chat was at the moment.
OCHA!: OH, SO I WAS WRONG TO CALL HIM WHORE
OCHA!: WELL LOOK AT HIM NOW
Iida Tenya: Uraraka-kun, you’re being dramatic
OCHA!: HE’S DITCHING CLASS FOR DICK!!
Tsu 🐸: Ochako-chan, Todoroki-chan is a grown man, he doesn’t need you coddling him.
Iida Tenya: While usually I would be more concerned about Todoroki-kun’s behavior, I can recognize that this is a good thing for him.
OCHA!: AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO CARES???
Tsu 🐸: Yes
Iida Tenya: Unfortunately
Deku: I care a little, if that means anything
OCHA!: your support means nothing to me
OCHA!: YOU’RE THE ORIGINAL WHORE
Deku: damn right he is
Deku: Clearly that was Kacchan stealing my phone
Deku: And I am NOT a whore!
Shoto: I don’t mind being a whore 🤷🏻♂️
Shoto: Hanta’s good at what he does
OCHA!: TOO MUCH INFORMATION
Iida Tenya: Well hello there, sleepyhead
Tsu 🐸 : And to think you were so worried about things going well
Deku: We’re all happy for you, Shoto 🥺💚
Shoto: Thank you
Shoto: I’m happy too
OCHA!: ok, well
OCHA!: when you say it like that, i can’t be mad anymore :(
Shoto: I understand skipping classes is a bit unlike me, but I wanted a breather today
Shoto: It feels nice to relax for once
Iida Tenya: Your professors love you, so I’m sure they won’t mind you taking one day off for yourself
Tsu 🐸: If they do, I know how to send a good passive aggressive e-mail
OCHA!: you’re so evil and fucked up tsu-chan
OCHA!: marry me
Tsu 🐸: Not in the group chat, Ochako-chan
Tsu 🐸: Besides, it's well within my right as an overpaying university student to be a little evil and fucked up
OCHA!: 😞😔
Prince Yuuga ☆: I can’t BELIEVE you’re all having this conversation without me
Prince Yuuga ☆: The AUDACITY, the GALL
Prince Yuuga ☆: But so true, queen! @Tsu 🐸
Shoto: The other’s can catch you up to speed, Hanta is awake and I’m hungry
Prince Yuuga ☆: Scandalous~ ☆
Deku: keep it in your pants, half n half, i can see your
Deku: I am NOT letting him finish that message
Shoto: I mean for food, not Hanta
Prince Yuuga ☆: Too late, you dirty dog~ ☆
OCHA!: my EYES
Tsu 🐸: Bye, Todoroki-chan
Iida Tenya: Eat something filling and healthy suitable for…rigorous activities!
OCHA!: NO!!!
OCHA!: STOP ENCOURAGING HIM
Having caught the tail end of the conversation, Hanta was currently doubled over in laughter while Shoto tried to ignore him while scrolling through food options. He eventually settled on getting takeout from the same restaurant they went to before, and by the time he finished and went to put on some pants, Hanta managed to reduce his boisterous laughter to small giggles wracking his body.
“Are you done?” Shoto asked upon coming back to the living room, fully clothed, though he didn’t look like it; Hanta’s shirt just crept past the length of Shoto’s shorts, but Hanta wasn’t complaining in the slightest.
“Yeah, I’m done…” Hanta said, but the way his words trailed off could only mean that a few more giggles would escape him before he could truly stop. Shoto rolled his eyes, but he re-joined Hanta on the couch to cuddle and flip through channels while waiting for their food to come.
