≡Izuku POV≡

◃Lunch on Monday▸

"So the time has finally come."

"For us to put you in your place."

"And prove how much better we have become."

"And that we deserve to be heroes, working at the same pace."

"Are they always this dramatic?" A confused Pikachu knockoff asked as he sat down at the table of 4.

"No. Sometimes. Ok, yes," Mei confessed as she began to eat her mochi.

"We are not dramatic!"

"We merely speak the truth."

"And if the truth is too much for you."

"Then go eat a boot."

"What the hell? A boot?" Shinso asked as he quirked an eyebrow at me and sat back down to slurp up his ramen.

"I'm sorry Toshi! We were on such a roll and I couldn't think of anything better to say that rhymed!" I pouted as I shoved some pork into my mouth.

"I don't know, if someone told me to go eat a boot, I'd take mine off and shove it down their throat instead," Kacchan commented as he stole some of my pork.

"Hey! If you want katsudon, you can make me some!" I complained as I hit his chopsticks away when he went for more.

"Bakugo can cook?" Mei asked with a mouth full of mochi.

"That's unexpected," Denki added.

"Why the hell are you looking at me like that?!" Kacchan yelled as he stood up and started swinging his chopsticks around like he was going to hit someone. Unfortunately, he did, and that person was me.

"Ow! What the fuck?! Sit down already and stop swinging your utensils around, jackass!" I hissed as I pulled him down.

"Stop being so dramatic! You probably barely felt a thing! It was all absorbed by your hair," he snickered as he pulled me into a head lock and ruffled my hair.

"This is so weird," Kaminari breathed as he watched me and Kacchan wrestle each other trying to stay seated.

"You get used to it," Shinso sighed as he began a conversation with the 3 remaining people.

Once Kacchan and I had calmed down, we went back to eating and joined in on their conversation.

"Yeah, Izuku told me that if we do good enough, we can get transferred into the hero course," Shinso explained as he finished his ramen.

"Whoa! So we can be classmates? Cool! Hey, Izuku, do you want to get transferred too?"

"Yup! This is all a part of my evil plan to completely embarrass Kacchan. First, I let him go to a different class to make sure everyone knows how he acts. Then, I suddenly get transferred in and totally kick his ass and show that he is truly a soft boi deep down," I smiled evilly as I continued to mutter about how I will treat Kacchan.

"Shut the hell up nerd! Like I'd let you beat me!" He crossed his arms and stared down at me.

"Just keep telling yourself that Katsuki. I'll prove I can beat you by winning the festival," I smiled and crossed my arms, mocking him. "And what is up with you calling me a nerd? You're the one who goes to sleep at 8:30 and wears readi-"

"SHUT UP!!"

"Oh hey Sparky! Did you get addicted to the chaos from lunch and come back for more?" Mei asked as she opened the door after we heard a knock.

I rolled on the floor around my miniature city until I was within eyeshot of Kaminari.

"Whoa, this is your guys' classroom?" He breathed as he looked around at all the inventions.

"Nope, this is our workshop. The actual classroom is next door where everyone else is. They gave us our own room because we were too 'destructive and distracting' for their taste," I said as I began to sit up.

"Is that a city?" He asked as he walked over to me.

"Yup, built it last week. I'm working on adding a little spice to their settings so that it's more realistic."

"Whoa," he walked around looking at my carefully constructed structures and citizens.

"So, what brings you here, Sparky?" Mei asks, getting impatient for the potential for a new project.

"Oh, yeah. I was wondering if you guys could make me something to help with my quirk. It's always all or nothing. Whenever I use it, it's hard to control so I always end up brain dead and zapping people around me as well."

Me and Mei made eye contact and walked towards each other. We both stuck out our fists.

"Uhm.. what are you guys-"

"Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" We both yelled in unison.

"Ha! Ha! I win! Sorry Izuku, looks like I get this one, maybe you'll get the next one," she smiled as she waved Denki over and walked towards her work bench.

"Ok, let's get started! You might want to sit down."

"So, you free to help me study right now? Dunce Face could use some help too," Kacchan asked as me and Mei met up with him and Denki with Shinso soon coming over.

"Nope! Today's Monday, I got work," I said as I sipped the coffee from my thermos I always have on hand.

"You have a job?" Kaminari asked.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that!" Mei said as she put her latest 'baby' into her bag.

"Didn't you say it was at a cafe? Do they have good coffee?" Shinso asked, intrigued by coffee.

"Of course it is, I'm the one making it!" I crossed my arms and pretended to be insulted.

"Although, my boss has told me a few times to lower the caffeine amount..." I mumbled.

At this, Kacchan completely burst out laughing. "Knowing you, there's probably more coffee grounds than water!"

"Shut up! Shota likes it!" I punched his arm, not so playfully...

"Wait, Aizawa goes there?" Denki asked.

"Yeah, he's a regular, he usually just sits in the corner with a laptop or papers. Although~ he started bringing Present Mic around a few times. They usually just grade papers together, but I have seen them glance at each other and I swear they look like clueless teenagers."

"Of course you have gossip on our teacher's love life," Kacchan rolled his eyes.

"Wait, I thought that Mr. Aizawa was Shinso's dad?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"I mean.. They do look similar.." I mumbled.

"Now that you mention it, they do act similarly too," Mei added.

"Holy shit, Dunce Face said something smart for once," Kacchan breathed as he stared at Shinso.

"Thank you.. Wait-"

"Guys, I'm not his son," Toshi said as he ran a hand down his face.

"Are you adopted? Maybe he saw you one day and thought 'that kid looks way too similar to me, I need to adopt him and make him legally my child, now!'" I asked, doing a spot on impression of Shota.

"WHOA! You sounded just like him!" Denki said with eyes blown wide.

"Why thank you," I said with a smug grin.

"Ok! Back to the important topic! Who wants to go to Izuku's work?" Shinso asked, trying and succeeding in changing the subject.

"Sorry, gotta work on my babies! I'll see you guys tomorrow!" Mei called as she walked away, already playing around with the wires again.

"And then there were 4..." Shinso said in an ominous voice.

"I'm down," Denki said as he grabbed out his phone, supposedly telling his parents.

"You know, you've been working there for like 7 months and I've only gone like twice when you're working. I'll come," Kacchan said.

"Uhmm... ok? Let's go then, my shift starts soon and it's close enough to walk," I gestured for them to follow as we walked the few blocks to the cafe.
