Chapter Text
"You're being catfished," Bakugou grumbled as he slid a few pancakes onto his roommate's plate.
"I totally am not!" Kaminari argued, angrily stabbing his pancakes and shoving way too much of it into his mouth.
"You totally are," Bakugou argued back, turning off the stove and leaning against the counter.
"Yawn~ what are you guys fighting about so early?" Kirishima asked as he walked into the kitchen and made his way over to his boyfriend, wrapping his arms around his waist and burying his face in the crook of the other's neck.
Bakugou almost immediately leaned into the touch and wrapped his arms around the red head in turn. "Just about how your best friend is being catfished," He mumbled.
"You're what!?" Kirishima demanded, whipping around to look at his friend at the kitchen table, his boyfriend whining at the sudden lack of attention.
"I'm no-" Kaminari started but was cut off by himself choking on his mouth full of food.
Kirishima untangled himself from Bakugou, much to the other's dismay, and made his way over to thump his friend on the back. "Woah dude, chew your food!"
Kaminari swallowed thickly. "Oh, like you don't know anything about choking," he coughed. "Do you guys forget you have a roommate when you decide to fuck or do you just not care?"
Bakugou laughed loudly from the side. "I don't give a f-"
"Hush up, both of you, not the time," Kirishima said, looking between the two with a steely gaze. "What's this about bring catfished?" He asked.
"I'm not being catfished," Kaminari said grumpily, stabbing his pancakes again but this time taking a considerably smaller bite.
"You definitely are," Bakugou shot back. "Tell this red haired idiot exactly what you told me and he'll agree,"
"He always agrees with you! You're his boyfriend!" Kaminari yelled an argument.
"I disagree with Katsuki all the time," Kirishima states plainly. "Just because you're usually wrong so I almost never agree with you has nothing to do with favouritism, now tell me the deets," he grinned.
Kaminari huffed. "Well, he's really sweet, a tad bit reckless, absolutely adorable, I'm head over heels in love with him-"
"The important stuff, dumbass," Bakugou grumbled.
Kaminari let out an annoyed sigh. "Buuut, we almost never share phone calls and I've never had a video chat with his and theres always the chance that the photos of him are just taken off the internet," he glanced back at Kirishima who was cringing at the news. "Oh come on!" Kaminari yelled prematurely.
"Sorry bro," Kirishima sighed, shaking his head. "It sounds pretty suspicious, I'm with Katsuki on this one," he said, quirking his head in his boyfriend's direction.
"Of course you do," Kaminari grumbled, pulling out his phone and scrolling through it, blocking out everything as the other two talked next to him.
About a minute into scrolling, however, Kaminari received the most exciting and well timed notification in his life.
Brocc-star: I'm going to be in Naruhata next week, that's where you live right?
Electric-hoebag: i- yeah
Electric-hoebag: wait, does this mean I finally get to meet you????
Brocc-star: Haha, hopefully, if I'm not too busy when I'm there
Electric-hoebag: you can't make time for me? I'm hurt
Brocc-star: I'm a busy man, why should you get special treatment?
Electric-hoebag: because I'm your boyfriend in waiting?
Brocc-star: you're not my boyfriend until we meet
Electric-hoebag: which is EXACTLY why you should take the time to see me, I need to kiss every single one of your oddly placed freckles that I'm still not convinced are natural
Brocc-star: you'll just have to see for yourself
Brocc-star: my mom isn't exactly sold on the fact your not a catfish
Electric-hoebag: my roommates are the same, though you're definitely the suspicious one here since you're the one who doesn't like phone calls and stuff.
Brocc-star: I know, sorry, and I told her that the only reason why we don't call was because of me not because of you but she's still not convinced
Electric-hoebag: well just have to prove them wrong when we meet in person pretty please?
Brocc-star: All of your pleases are pretty, and I'll do everything in my power to be able to spent time with you
Electric-hoebag: YESSSS!!
Brocc-star: Haha, I gotta go to work right now if you wanna see me later though, talk to you later buttface
Electric-hoebag: ttyl shithead ♡
"Oi, what are you grinning at dunce face?" Bakugou asked, getting Kaminari to look up from his phone to see see both of his friends looking at him curiously, though Bakugou looked more annoyed then actually curious about whatever Kaminari was doing.
"He's coming into town next week," Denki replied immediately, cutting to the chase and a grin spreading wide across his face.
"Oh! Great, then you'll get to meet him!" Kirishima cheered.
"If he's real," Bakugou grumbled but Kaminari wasn't paying attention, grinning dumbly at his phone and daydreaming about what it will be like talking to Izuku in person.

"Mooom," Midoriya whined as his mother, Inko, dragged him along with her into another store.
"What is it?" She asked innocently, picking up a cute figurine from the display to examine it closer.
"I came here for work, you really didn't need to come along," Izuku said, casually hinting something.
"Nonsense!" Inko chirped happily, placing the figurine back and turning to her son. "Naruhata was well over due for a visit, this was a perfect excuse,"
"But this is my only day off this month," Izuku pleaded with her.
"What? And you don't want to spend time with your mother?" Inko asked, placing a hand over her heart in mock offence.
"Mom, I LIVE with you, I spend almost all my spare time with you! I was going to do something today," he practically begged.
"Nuh uh," Inko shock her head. "I know exactly what you want to do and I won't allow it," she said, poking Izuku hard in the chest.
"Huh? What do you mean?" He questioned.
"You wanna meet with that internet boy and I'm doing everything in my power to prevent it"
"What!? Why?" Izuku asked incredulously.
"Because I don't want you getting drugged and abducted," Inko stated simply, smacking her son on the arm lightly to drive the point home.
"I'm not going to be abducted, I can handle myself," he grumbled, rubbing the spot on his arm where he was hit despite it not hurting.
"No means no honey" she said sternly.
"Mom!"
"What?"
"I..." he looks down and muttered pitifully. "But I really like him..."
She immediately felt bad the moment she saw this but attempted not to loose her ground.
"You-" Inko's words were caught in her mouth as her resolved slowly deteriorated. "You don't know him," she struggled out and her heart officially shattered when he looked back up at her almost furious.
"I do know him!" Izuku countered angrily. "I know he works at a bookstore and has almost been fired ten different times, I know that he's roommates with two of his best friends who are dating and are really loud when they fuck, I know that theres a coffee shop across the street from where he works and his two other friends work there and know his order better then they know the menu, I know that he snorts when he laughs, I know that when he gets really excited over something, he can talk for hours about it, I know that we've spent hours apon hours talking to each other either late at night or just morning texts and I know that I've wanted to meet him in person ever since I first started talking to him almost two years ago!" He rambled on, but very poignantly. Inko practically melted at the fond look on his face and finally gave in.
"If... if he really means so much then-" she sniffed, on the verge of tears. "Go get him loverboy," she smiled up at him.
Izuku blinked for a moment, surprised, before breaking out into a huge smile and hugging his mother tightly. "Thank you mom!" He said, pulling back to wipe away a few tears that had accumulated in his eyes as well. "You won't regret this, I promise, you're gonna love him too," and then he practically ran out of there.

Mina leaned over the counter to poke her brooding friend in the cheek.
"What's got you down in the dumps kami-kam?" She asked playfully, willfully neglecting her job as the cash register.
Denki bitterly sipped his drink as he glared at his phone, not answering the question.
"Ah, Denks," Jirou hummed, coming up behind Mina and raping her arms around her girlfriend's waist. The coffee shope didn't have any customers at the moment aside from Kaminari himself so they could get away with a little slacking. "Is he not coming?" She asked over Mina's shoulder.
"Who?"
"His boyfriend,"
"Oooo, the online one?"
"Does he have another one?"
"No, i was just checking,"
"I don't know if he's coming, if we were going to meet, it was going to be today but he hasn't texted me anything since this morning," Kaminari whined, aggressively rubbing at his face in frustration.
And just then, his phone rang.
Denki looked at the screen in shock for way longer than necessary which got the two girls to question him.
"Who is it?" Jirou asked.
"It's him," Kaminari breathed, in shock.
"Him? Your boyfriend? But I thought you two never talked over the phone?" Ashido said incredulously.
"We don't," and with that, Denki slid the answer button and slowly brought the phone up to his ear and greeting with a tentative; "Hello?"
"Hi *huff* hey Kami!" Came loudly from the other end of the line.
"Izuku? You never call, what's-"
"It's h- *wheeze* hard to text and run *cough* where's that coffee shop again?"
"Uhhh, [insert random adress here]?" Kaminari said uncertainly but got nods from the two girls next to him. "Why are you running?"
"The sooner I get there *huff* the more time I can spend with you,"
Denki's heart swelled with warmth and he couldn't stop the dopey smile that spread across his face even if he tried.
"Okay, I'll see you soon then,"
"Yeah!" Midoriya chimed happily from the other end. "See you!"
Click.
Kaminari turned to look at the girls again who both had matching mischievous grins but he paid them no mains and looked down at his phone screen and smiled even more, practically just staring at the name on screen with heart eyes. Izuku Midoriya. They were finally going to meet.
"You are so gay..."
