“Alright,” Izuku claps once, getting the attention of his boyfriend and best friend. “I’m gonna press record now, sit still.” They both nod, one more enthusiastically than the other.
Izuku grins, and presses the record button on his camera. He plops back down in between the two, and smiles broadly at the lense.
“Hello guys, and welcome back to my channel. Today I’m joined with two very special guests…” He trails off for either of them to introduce themselves.
“I’m Shoto, Izuku’s boyfriend.” Shouto drawls, waving awkwardly at the camera.
“And I’m Ochako, Izuku’s best friend!” Ochako greets excitedly, slightly bouncing in her seat.
“My favorite people on earth.” Izuku grins sheepishly, and then continues. “As you can see from the title of the video, today we’re going to be testing who knows me better. My best friend,” He gestures to Ochako, who puffs her chest out dramatically. “Or my boyfriend.” Shoto smiles sheepishly.
“Place your bets in the comments.” Izuku says, conspiringly, then continues on explaining the game. “I have written down ten trivia questions about myself for the two of them to answer on their whiteboards. Whoever has the most points in the end, gets to take me out to eat!” He finishes cheekily, not missing the glares he received from both parties.
“Okay, enough with the introduction. Let’s get started!” Izuku cheers, and grabs a notebook he had placed behind the camera. “I’m gonna move away from the camera so that they don’t cheat.” Izuku says, standing up from the bed, and sitting in a chair he had placed in a chair next to the tripod.
“Okay, now we can get started. Are you guys ready?” He asks the pair, who are squinting at each other playfully.
“Born ready!” Ochako growls.
“Yes.” Shoto answers shortly.
Izuku lets out a giggle, and begins the game.
“Alright, first question. This is an easy one. How old was I when I had my first kiss?” Izuku says, and watches the two of them scribble down their answers.
He calls time, and on three they both turn their whiteboards over. Ochako wrote down the number five, while Shoto wrote down the number fifteen.
The two glance at each other’s answers, and Ochako downright squawks at Shoto’s answer.
“ Fifteen?! Who has their first kiss at fifteen?! ” She exclaims.
Shoto blinks at her. “Izuku.”
The girl rolls her eyes at him, and turns to Izuku who’s busy laughing in his seat.
“Who’s right?!” She demands, staring him down.
He calms himself down and says, “Neither of you.”
“What?!” She squeals. “What's the right answer, then?!”
Shoto looks at him with the same amount of confusion written on his face.
Izuku grins. “I had my first kiss when I was ten .”
Shoto frowns. “I could’ve sworn I was your first kiss.”
Ochako splutters on a laugh as Izuku turns a bright red. Thank God he’s not on camera right now.
“M-Moving on! Nobody got that point.” He says, and the pair send him a pointed glare. “Next question, what’s my favorite color?”
“Easy,” He hears Shoto mutter as he writes down his answer in a flash. Ochako, on the other hand, looks like she’s struggling a bit.
“Has it changed since last time?” She asks herself, looking off into the distance before hesitantly writing down her answer.
Izuku tells them to show their boards, Shoto does very confidently.
“It’s red.” His boyfriend states with a subtle smirk on his handsome face.
Ochako looks at his answer nervously, eyeing her own with doubt. “I wrote down green…” She trails off.
Izuku smiles apologetically. “Shoto’s right. My favorite color is red!” He states.
A smug grin takes over his boyfriend's face. “Well then.” He says while erasing his board.
Ochako sends him a death glare. “Wipe that smile off your face! I’m gonna win, this was just a fluke.”
Izuku snorts quietly, and calls their attention again.
“So far, Shoto is leading by one point. Let’s see how the rest of the game plays out.” He smiles, and then reads the next question. “What did I dress up as for Halloween last year?”
“Oh, I know this!” Ochako chirps, scribbling down her answer, while Shoto blinks down at his board.
“Why would you ask that? You know I have a bad memory.” Shoto pouts at him, and Izuku smiles cheekily.
“Okay, turn your boards!”
Ochako wrote down broccoli. Shoto wrote down I don’t know.
Izuku grins. “Ochako’s right. I was a broccoli last year! C’mon Shoto, how could you not remember?”
His boyfriend groans. “I barely remember what I did yesterday, Izuku.”
Ochako laughs teasingly. “Excuses, excuses.” She taunts. Shoto frowns at her.
“Alright, so now we have a tie. Kind of surprising, to be honest. I thought you guys would’ve gotten these all right.” Izuku hums, and the two look away in mild shame. “But anyway, onto the next question!”
The game continues on for six more rounds, both his best friend and boyfriend proving themselves less and less worthy of being able to take Izuku out on a date.
“How do you not know what shoe size I wear?!” Izuku gasps at Shoto, who is burying his face in his hands, as Ochako does a little dance of victory.
“I don’t know. Next question!” He groans.
It all comes down to the last question. The two were tied up, seven to seven. Izuku could feel the tension in the room.
“Okay..” He says, peering over his notebook at the two. “This is the final question. The question that will end this game. Are you ready?”
“Hurry up, I can’t take this anymore!” Ochako shrills, bouncing in her seat. Shoto stares at him with the same amount of intensity.
Izuku smirks. “Final question, for five points, who was my favorite teacher in high school?”
Ochako and Shoto both gape at him.
“That could be anyone .” His boyfriend whines, looking lost.
“Yeah, Izuku! You had plenty of favorites!” Ochako gasps.
Izuku blinks at them. “Th-That’s not true. I had one most favorite teacher. C’mon you guys have to know this!”
“I’m just gonna guess.” Shoto mumbles, writing something down on his board while Ochako stared at him with a frown.
Izuku exhales a breath. “Wow… this is low even for you two. How do you not know?”
Ochako shoots him a sharp glare as she writes down her own guess.
“Okay, let me see your wrong answers.” Izuku says, and watches as the pair turn their boards over at the same time.
“Aizawa sensei?!” He splutters as he reads Shoto’s answer.
His boyfriend immediately rushes to defend himself. “Well, he was my favorite, and we have similar taste so I just figured he’d be the best guess.” He explains, and Izuku shakes his head.
“That wasn’t the answer I was looking for, sorry.” He tuts, and moves into Ochako while Shoto melts into his chair dramatically.
“Ochako, what's your answer?”
The girl reveals her board with a wobbly smile. “Is it, by any chance, Midnight sensei?”
Izuku deadpans at her. “You’re kidding.”
“I’m sorry!” She begs, hiding behind her board. “What’s the right answer?!”
Izuku clicks his teeth at the pair in playful disappointment. “It was All Might sensei.”
The two seem to have an epiphany just then.
“I totally forgot about him!” Ochako sighs, and Shoto agrees quietly.
While they’re busy discussing teachers, Izuku walks out to stand behind them in front of the camera. “Well, the result of this game is a tie, sadly. I guess that means you’ll both have to take me on separate dates.” Izuku smiles cheekily, and then begins doing his outro.
“Thanks for watching! See you guys in next week's video, bye!” Izuku says, and makes the other two say their own goodbyes.
Once the camera is off, he turns to them with a sharp glare. “I can’t believe you two, honestly.”
Shoto shrinks into himself. “I have a bad memory?” He tries, and looks away when all Izuku does is squint his eyes at him.
He spends the rest of the evening with the two of them sulking at his side, trying their best to make up for embarrassing themselves for Izuku’s viewers to see.
The nerve of them...
