Chapter Text
As soon as the words left Mr. Aizwawa’s mouth, Izuku began flipping his pen counterclockwise. He glanced over at Denki and saw that he was doing the same. Everyone else was looking around at each other, disbelief on their faces. It only took a few seconds before voices began pipping up.
“Woah what?” Kirishima.
“That’s impossible!” Uraraka.
“In our class?” Iida.
“Two of Us?” Todoroki. That caused a brief pause as everyone let the revelation truly sink in.
Outcries flooded the room, more and more voices joining the crowd as Mr. Aizawa tried to quiet everyone down. It didn’t work, especially since Kacchan stood up, hands smoking.
It was at Kacchan’s “Alright, fess up you bastards!” that Izuku dared another look towards Denki. As soon as their eyes met they knew exactly what the other was thinking. Izuku would contact the League later tonight while Denki took over damage control. Turning their eyes back up to the front, they both started their plans.
“Are you sure Mr. Aizawa?” Denki spoke up, perfectly practiced notes of confusion decorating his usually bright voice. Mr. Aizawa’s eyes narrowed slightly, but his comment was already working. Jirou spoke up next, sparking a new wave of commotion amongst class 1-A.
“He knows…” Izuku thought. “Although he may not know it’s us exactly. From the look he gave Denki, he’s definitely going to be watched. Shit.”
He flipped to a secret portion of his notebook, where he kept his encoded notes for the League. Izuku was already crafting his latest note, letting the League know that the heroes were onto them and that Denki may be compromised soon. Shigaraki was going to be pissed. And with the dorm systems in place, it was already far harder to meet in person.
Before, Kurogiri would simply open a portal in Izuku’s room and he’d either go stay at the bar or hand off his most recent notes. Now they had to use an abandoned house’s mailbox. Izuku would drop off the note and Toga would come in disguise to pick it up. It was inconvenient and took longer to transfer information, but they couldn’t risk simple texting now that the class would be monitored more closely.
Denks
So what are we going to do now?
Zuku
I already have a plan, don’t worry
Denks
I should have figured lol
What’s the plan babe?
Zuku
It’s pretty simple, but it’ll
take a few weeks to carry out.
Basically we’ll have you cut the flirt act
By having you flirt exclusively with me
Denks
Wait, do you mean…
Zuku
Yeah baby, we’re gonna come out
Denks
Lemme guess
I’m gonna let it slip to the
bakusquad that I have a crush on you
And a few weeks later
we’ll come out as dating
Zuku
I knew you’d get it fast
That’s my boyfriend ^-^
Denks
<3
Izuku locked his phone, tossing it somewhere on his nightstand. This was going to be difficult, Denki had made quite the reputation for himself. Hopefully, the shift in flirting towards him wouldn’t be met with too much confusion. He’s sure that Mina dn Sero would notice right away and rumors of Denki’s “crush” would begin to crop up. It would play directly into their plan, sure, but Izuku would have to play the flustered and oblivious fool. An easy task, but it would take a lot of self-control to not flirt back. At least not at first.
Once they came out as dating they could sink into their true relationship dynamic. They’ve been dating for a few months already. Keeping track of two anniversaries may be a bit tricky, but if everything goes to plan, their dating announcement should land on their 7 month mark.
“Everything is going to go over well. It has too…” Izuku said out loud before trailing off. He was certain their plan would work. All that was left was contacting the Leauge and informing them of both the current situation and their own plan to do damage control.
Pulling out his notebook, Izuku prepared to finish off this note. Once he’s done with the note, he’ll do some homework and studying. After all, he
did
have a role to play.
