Work Text:
Eijirou snores the whole time on the bus. For Christmas break, the class all came to a vote to go somewhere and do something fun. Of course they would miss their parents and wanted to spend time with them but they also wanted to spend as much time as they could together - almost dying in a war will do that to you.
Aizawa took the suggestion to Nezu who agreed but only with the rules of Mic going with them and their parents having some sort of transportation to get to the kids on Christmas day itself, which most parents agreed to while others said they’ll find a ride there.
Katsuki had her headphones on the whole ride but even the blasting of her playlist couldn’t drown out her girlfriend so eventually she gave up. She’s thankful she gave up after almost an hour though rather than earlier into the ride because she recognizes a few landmarks that their teacher said would be near the cabin house (its not mini but its too big to be called a cabin, sue me😭) they rented. She taps the other girls thigh until she’s shaking her awake.
“Ei..Ei, baby wake up.”
“…”
“Eijirou..”
“…”
“If you don’t get up right now, I’m never making you bacon again and I’m throwing away all your hair dye.”
Eijirou’s eyes suddenly open and she takes in a deep gasp for air as she finally awakens. Katsuki startles back thinking she killed the poor girl until she yawns and lays back in the chair.
“Hmm? Oh hi Kat, are we there yet?”
.
..
…
“..what the fuck..”
“What?”
“I- Nothing. Y-yeah, we’re about to be there in like three minutes..”
“Okay!”
As Eijirou starts getting their stuff together and throwing away their trash into the bag attached to their seats, Katsuki slowly leans back into her own chair while staring ahead at the seat in front of her.
‘Genuinely, what in the actual fuck.’ she thinks to herself.
When everyone gets to the house, Aizawa and Mic barely have a chance to speak before everyone's running around trying to find the best rooms.
It takes almost thirty minutes of fighting over one singular room before Aizawa is calling everyone downstairs to assign roommates.
“At this point I shouldn’t even have to be doing this, but since you all can’t control yourselves unfortunately I’ll have to. Automatically and obviously the couples will room together. While I don’t want any..weird shit..going on, I won’t separate any of you. You’re teens in love, you deserve to explore your relationships and what not.”
All the couples sigh out of relief while everyone else pouts and grumbles of how ‘this isn’t fair’ and how ‘Denki and Hanta shouldn’t be trusted alone’.
“I don’t really care to be honest? Anyway..Mina you’ll be with Tsuyu since you two are the only girls left-”
“I wouldn’t be if you would’ve just let Tetsu come!”
Aizawa blinks while Mic tries not to laugh. He pats her shoulder while holding back his smile.
“I know you love him but he’s not from our class. This is a Class A trip only, maybe you should call him later to transfer here?”
Mina groans before burying her face in Tsuyu’s neck mumbling in anger about how ‘Hitoshi isn’t even supposed to be here technically’ and how ‘he wouldn’t get special treatment if he stayed in Class B’ while the other shushes her and hugs her.
“..as I was saying..Mina and Tsuyu, Fumikage and Koda, Yuga and Minoru and finally Tenya with Sato. Any questions?”
Everyone shakes their head knowing Shoji usually sleeps by himself anyway to accommodate his quirk so nobody bothers him about that. Once everything's decided, Hanta immediately bolts up to his room while Shouto follows slowly behind him.
Eijirou lets everyone else go up before her and Katsuki go to their room. When they open the door they see two beds, a fireplace with a tv above it, a balcony, a bathroom connected to the room, a walk-in closet, a dresser and other things they seem to like.
Katsuki flops on the bed closer to the balcony and shuts her eyes.
“Sleepy babe?”
“Yeah, you sleep like no one’s fucking watching!”
Eijirou giggles before tugging Katsuki back up which makes her groan.
“We need to shower so we can go down and get something to eat!”
“I’ll do it later!”
.
..
…
“Don’t lie to yourself.”
“The water better be ready by the time I’m done getting undressed.”
“Yes ma’am!”
As Katsuki undresses, she hears shouts and loud whispers coming from the room next to theirs. Being as nosy as she is, she puts her ear against the wall and covers the other one to hear better.
“I don’t get why this is so important to you!”
“No no, I would never do that to you specifically! It’s just..she’s not you alright? I can’t ever imagine myself doing something so mean to you!”
“But you can do it to another girl?!” is all Katsuki needs to hear before she realizes this is Tenya’s room.
“I gave you a long ass fucking talk and the grace of changing for the past like two months and you were doing okay! I checked on Eijirou everyday and she said you left her alone for a while!”
“I did! So why are you-”
“Clearly fucking not if I had Izuku text me to tell me that you said something so backhanded about her on the bus!”
Katsuki wants to leave the room and knock Tenya’s lights out, naked or not, but she decides against it wanting to know how this is going to end.
“Tenya this is freaking exhausting! I’m not going to stay with someone like you! You were never like this before, what the hell happened? Why are you being mean to your friends and shutting them out, why are you shutting ME out?!”
Katsuki feels bad when she hears Mei start to get choked up while Tenya goes silent. She’s had this feeling before when her and Eijirou argued over something dumb and she made her cry. That was the first and last time Katsuki ever raised her voice at her.
“I don’t even want to talk to you right now..”
“Honey..”
“No just..just leave me alone for tonight okay? If I hear anything from your friends or teachers that you did or said something, we’re over and I mean that. I can’t keep relying on you to be a better person. I know you’re capable but if you’re just doing this to please me and not realize what you’ve done to yourself, I won’t stay with someone who’s taking down others with their self sabotage.”
Katsuki walks into the bathroom not wanting to hear Tenya’s rage when Mei hangs up. She kicks the door shut and hugs Eijirou from behind.
“Ooh! Hi baby!”
Katsuki grunts and kisses her neck before pulling back.
It takes six people to get Katsuki off Eijirou and out the shower. Eijirou doesn’t mind her being clingy and honestly loves it knowing that Katsuki isn’t really big on affection but when they’ve been in hot, steaming water for almost an hour and they’re both hungry, Eijirou wants to get the hell out.
It takes her, Denki, Kyouka, Hanta, Mina and Aizawa yelling and banging on the door before Katsuki gets annoyed, wraps a towel around herself and tries to blast them all - Aizawa ran out the room before she even got out the shower - into the wall.
When the two girls go downstairs to get their plate, Eijirou sees Tenya sitting alone in the living room. She moves to ask if he’s okay but Katsuki grabs her arm gently and shakes her head.
“But-”
“Not right now..ask him later or tomorrow.”
Eijirou looks between the two before nodding and sitting back down at the table. She knows Katsuki isn’t doing this to control her or because she’s still pissed with Tenya, even Eijirou’s still pissed to be honest but he’s been doing better! Plus even the meanest people deserve to have someone to talk to sometimes - in Eijirou’s eyes that’s why they’re mean…to some extent.
———
Two days of peace pass before everything goes to shit.
Everyone - Shoji included who’s the deepest sleeper they know - wake up to yelling and things being thrown. Shouto being the person he is, takes one for the team, throws on a shirt and slippers before leaving his and Hanta’s room and banging on Tenya’s door.
Everyone watches from their doors as the dual haired boy stands annoyed in front of the door. After a few seconds of rustling, Tenya opens it with a glare.
“What?!”
“It’s six in the morning.”
“..okay?”
“We’re all trying to sle-”
“Listen Shouto, I am dealing with something urgent right now. Can you all just TRY to go back to sleep?”
“Is someone dying?”
“No.”
“Then it’s not urgent. Please hang up and go back to bed.”
All everyone hears after Shouto’s done talking is a muffled yell and the sound of Tenya hanging up. When he slams the door shut and redials the person, Shouto’s eyes slightly widen as he’s banging on the door again.
“Baby no..”
“No no, it’s okay.”
“Shou just come back to bed baby, I’ll play us some music..”
Shouto bangs louder before he’s kicking on the door. Nobody knows what he heard but whatever it was definitely would’ve made all of them pissed. Shouto rarely gets angry and even when he does he NEVER goes about it like this.
Katsuki would give him a pat on the back if she wasn’t trying to fight to stay awake and would even kiss him if she was single - or really into men like that.
“Open the door, Tenya!”
“Dude what did he say? You’re acting worse than that time Denki had a sugar rush!”
“Hey?! That wasn’t my fault, Mina binged with me!”
“Why the hell am I dragged into it?!”
Everyone starts bickering until Tenya opens the door again.
“Go to bed, Shouto.”
“What the hell is your problem?”
“She was lying, I haven’t done anything since the day she told me to stop.”
“Mei isn’t a liar, even then she wouldn’t have a reason to lie about this. You’re just a shitty person.”
Yuga and Toruu immediately rush to get their phones while Hanta steps out a bit more in case Tenya tries anything funny.
“You need to be honest with her. If you don’t want to be her friend then fine but if you keep doing this behind her back it won’t get you anywhere. I don’t want to keep being friendly to you if you’re going to do this to people I love. If you want to go on about morals and being a hero, heroes wouldn’t act like this to anyone. They’d keep their negative comments to themselves and if it was genuine concern, express these things in private.”
.
..
…
“C’mon Shou, let’s go to bed-”
“You’re sticking up for her because your boyfriend’s basically the opposite-”
Suddenly everything’s a blur before everyone watches as Hitoshi, Sato, Ojiro and Mic are pulling Shouto off of Tenya without hurting themselves or the other two. Everyone stands there in shock while they hear Shouto yelling all the way down the stairs while Mic tries to calm him down.
Realizing this is about her again, Eijirou takes in what Tenya said and immediately looks at Hanta. Everyone knows he struggles with gaining weight just because of how his metabolism is. It’s been the way it has been since he was born and he’s always been on the skinnier side so hearing things about how he’s ‘tall and lanky’ or ‘his joints rub people the wrong way’ always bothered him.
She sees him make eye contact with her before he nods and gives a small smile. She knows he’s not okay but she isn’t going to force him to talk right now. She holds out her arms and lets him come to her for a hug.
“I didn’t think-”
“Don’t even start blaming yourself.”
“Okay..”
Eijirou stays in the house all day while everyone goes out to do activities. Her teachers beg her to come downstairs to at least make hot chocolate for the class with them but she still refuses it.
She hears the door open but assuming it’s Aizawa again, she stays bundled under the blanket before she feels someone pinch her foot through the blanket. She squeals and pulls it up before hearing familiar laughter.
“Sorry ‘Rou!”
“You fucking suck!”
Katsuki laughs more before kneeling next to the back and stroking her girlfriend's cheek.
“Why so sad baby? Why didn’t you come out with us?”
Eijirou shrugs and shuts her phone off before putting her hand over Katsuki’s.
“I just..nobody would be upset right now if I would’ve just kept my mouth shut.”
“Eijirou..”
“No Kat, I’m serious! Tenya wouldn’t have gotten in trouble with Aizawa, Tenya wouldn’t have gotten into a fight with Mei or Shouto, Tenya-”
Eijirou melts into the kiss on her lips before feeling them pull away.
“All I’m hearing is a bunch of ‘Tenya’s’ and not anything about yourself. Stop revolving your decisions around him. I don’t give a rat's ass that what he says revolves around you, don’t give him the satisfaction that he wants. He WANTS you to lose weight, he WANTS you to become miserable, he WANTS you to become sick, he wants you to become like ME!”
Katsuki’s eyes fill with a small line of tears at the last part.
“Eijirou, all I want for you on this trip is to be happy and relaxed. I want you to have fun with our friends and teachers, I want you to sleep in and not worry about anything, I want you to eat all the shit that you want without feeling bad, I want you to have fun! Counting calories isn’t fun, worrying about how you look isn’t fun, starving until you can barely even support your own weight anymore isn’t fun. So please Eijirou, I’m begging you, stop worrying about him. He isn’t fun and won’t give you anything.”
By the end of it, Katsuki’s crying and Eijirou’s cuddling her tightly while trying not to cry herself.
“You need to promise me you won’t let yourself get to that point okay?”
Eijirou sniffles before whispering a quiet ‘yeah’ and nodding her head before crying into her girlfriend’s shoulder.
If Aizawa and Mic find them an hour later asleep and cozy in their bed, they don’t say anything.
And when the girls wake up to see two mugs of hot chocolate and two plates of warm dinner on their nightstands, they don’t say anything either.
———
Aizawa and Mic monitor the kids from their balcony. It’s almost 11pm but they all insisted on going in the hot tub for some reason in their clothes. It all went fine until someone suggested just going in their underwear in which the two adults did not want to see. Not in any way to be rude to the girls but girls are girls and boys are boys. They do not want to see 16 and 17 year old girls in their bras nor do they want to see the same for the boys even if it’s less awkward.
“How much do you want to bet it was Denki who just got thrown in?”
“Are you kidding?! That scream definitely came from Ochako, it was extremely high pitched!”
The two men bicker back and forth until they see Tenya walk through the hallway. They make eye contact with him for a second before he’s stalking to his room.
“Y’know, I thought Mei would’ve broken up with him way earlier.”
“You know how she is, she’s assertive but not mean spirited. Hell if he actually stuck to it, maybe she would’ve let him finally relax around her by the time third year began.”
Mic laughs before taking a sip from his mug prompting Aizawa to roll his eyes.
“Stop sipping your drink like you’re a talk show host.”
“But it’s fun! I could be like..Jimmy Fallon, that guy in America!”
All he receives is another eye roll and a kiss.
———
Katsuki and Eijirou sneak back inside the house around 1am. They hid from everyone else when their teachers called them all inside so they could be in the hot tub a bit longer. Knowing they couldn’t have gone far, Aizawa decided to let them stay wherever they were as long as he saw them back in the house by 3am.
They giggle up the stairs and quickly jump into the shower.
“Did you see that guy's face?! He definitely knew we saw him!”
“Nuh uh, no way! His pants blew away while he was taking a piss, I’d be shocked too!”
Eijirou giggles before gently grabbing Katsuki’s face and kissing her. They both giggle and laugh into the other's mouth before genuinely trying to clean themselves off.
By the time they’re both in their bed, they’re still laughing - at least Katsuki is, Eijirou’s trying not to.
“Suki stop! ‘M serious!”
“I’m sorry it was funny!”
Eijirou giggles into her neck. She loves seeing her girlfriend feel free and act like there’s nothing going on around them. When she starts kissing Katsuki again, she feels her laughter start to die down and she gets on top of her and holds her hands above her head. Eijirou gets a few more pecks in before pulling away, making Katsuki pout.
“Hey..!”
“Aizawa said no!”
“Aizawa’s asleep and definitely fucked his husband while we were all out there.”
“Nuh uh, they were watching us!”
“Not for the first ten minutes.”
.
..
…
“Ewwwwww!”
“Exactly! I win!”
The two start making out again before Katsuki’s slowly grinding herself against Eijirou. Their kissing grows more heated when Eijirou moves her hands to Katsuki’s hips to stabilize her.
“You really want to?”
“Mhm.”
“You’re loud ya know. Loud at school, loud at your house, loud at my house-”
“OKAY I GET IT!”
Eijirou quirks an eyebrow before Katsuki’s grumbling and pulling both their panties to the side.
“Just shut up and stay laying down!”
“Yes ma’am.”
———
On Christmas Day, Eijirou feels a bit bad. While it’s amazing spending time with her moms and Katsuki’s family, she didn’t expect her teachers to break the news of what Tenya said about her again.
Her dads and Katsuki’s parents nag her about it but she feels better knowing she has their support.
Katsuki sticks with her the whole day and if she walks past their room when she goes up to use the bathroom and hears Katsuki crying into her dads shoulder about how much she loves Eijirou and doesn’t think she deserves any of this, Eijirou stays silent. Katsuki’s feelings are for her to share just like Eijirou’s feelings were hers to share when Tenya started this mess.
She just hopes he ends it sometime soon before he drives everyone away and leaves her without any closure.
