Chapter Text
"Dude, seriously, what's the plan here?"
Denki holds up a cheap box cake mix, standing in the middle of a Dollar Tree isle. He turns to Hanta who's holding a camera. "We can be the team that thought about dessert! Ei, Kyoka, and Mina are only going to think of like, two courses! Also... everyone knows I'm the best at baking."
Katsuki, standing off to the side with his arms crossed, just nods. "Anything to keep you away from the stove while I cook."
Hanta scoffs, "We get it, you're the only one who can cook, but they have Kyoka and Mina and they're creative. Who do we have judging again?"
"Izuku from the Deku channel is coming. He said he'd be in town and wouldn't mind judging if we linked his channel under it." Katsuki said, grabbing things from the shelf.
Denki just nodded excitedly, "Then we should do a Hero SMP themed food courses! I can make a cake with the members on it!"
"You're going to draw Minecraft Heroes from a six year old Minecraft role play series?"
"Didn't Izuku's channel only start because he did skits and video essays about the Hero SMP Lore? I'm sure he'd love it."
"He did that nerdy shit in middle school-"
"You were in half the videos just as exited Katsuki."
"Shut up! Cut that out—"
________________
"Hah, I'm so not cutting that out."
At the kitchen Island, Kyoka sat editing that days' filming on her laptop as the others unpack their Dollar tree haul to cook for the next day.
"Hah?! I swear, I'll cut your guitar strings if you do." Katsuki groans, putting things in the cabinet.
Mina's sitting on the other side of the island, snacking on gummy candies she got for herself at the store, "No you won't, you respect instruments to much, 'suki!"
Katsuki just grumbles to himself and Eijirou just laughs and puts a hand around his shoulder. "He won't, I'll watch him, don't worry Kyo!"
Hanta smirks and closes the fridge after putting the rest of the stuff in, mumbling something about "gay" and runs down around the island, using Kyoka as a shield from Katsuki tossing an apple at him, laughter filling the kitchen.
Denki smiled, going over to the seat next to Kyoka and watching over her shoulder, content in watching her work.
He doesn't remember exactly when he was brought into this, just a kid on the internet doing skits with his best friend Hanta, meeting other kids... years of ups and downs, the journey through their lives, content, and internet, and end up bestfriends. They started doing content together, and surprisingly...
People liked it.
People loved the found family shenanigans of a group of rowdy young adults, too many loose cannons so to say.
That's how they started the 6 Loose Cannons channel. 6LC for short.
That's how Denki found his family. After barely surviving living with his parents, filming dumb YouTube clips at his best friends house and stay there for nights in a row, getting into college by the skin of his teeth-
His family.
Then Kyoka groans loudly, shutting her laptop and laying her head down on it, "I'm so tired of this editing thing oh my god. Half of this stuff I can barely use, mostly because the camera is either slightly offset or a tiny finger in the corner- or in Mina's case, a nail-"
"I get distracted! And we just kinda... forget we need to hold the camera right."
"Yeah, its bad footage. The only people who ever record correctly is Hanta and Katsuki!"
Hanta nods and laughs, "That's 'cause me and Denks have been doing this for years, and I was usually the one recording."
Katsuki adds on, "Y'know I've been doing YouTube since college, I know how." Then he then around to face Kyoka, "But, if your really that tired, we can hire a camera man and editor."
"You know we don't have the money to hire someone." Kyoka deadpans.
"My friend will do if for free if we let him stay here."
Everyone looks at Katsuki in both shock and confusion.
"Wait, when were you going to tell us?"
"When you guys started complaining about it." He shrugged.
Jiro rolls her eyes and puts her head in her hands, "So, you're telling me I could've asked a loooong ago?"
"Well, he needs a place out of his dads because he streams at night and doesn't wanna bother them. He only asked a week ago, I said I'd ask and tell him when the room was clean."
"I'm down! I would love a new roommate to chill with. He already knows how to edit videos?" Mina ask esstatically, getting up and into the fridge.
Hanta nods to, "I'll help clean out the room too. I know it has a couple boxes of storage, but its dusty as shit."
Mina passes everyone a lucky beer they're all obsessed with, the cans crack open in unison, and Denki smiles at the thought of a new roomie.
And oh, does he have no idea.
