Chapter Text

“How about 7? Does 7 sound good?” Ochaco asked while turning off the stove. She just finished making All Might shaped pancakes and brought the fluffy stack of goodness to the table

“Yeah, 7 sounds fine.” The green haired boy at the table replied back while looking at the daily news on his cell phone.

“What about snacks, cups, and alcohol?” Ochaco’s mouth started to water at the thought of getting her hands on her favorite bottle of vodka.

“I texted Todoroki, he said him and Momo will come over soon and go shopping with us.” Izuku responded, and finally put down his phone to dig into his special pancakes.

Yes, they were special because they were in the shape of his idol but they were special x2 because they were made by Ochaco. He loved when she cooked even if she was making something new for the first time. He still appreciated everything about her.

“So how are the pancakes?” Ochaco asked from across the table.

“Delicious!” Izuku said with kid-like enthusiasm. Ochaco looked over at her green haired lover.

“What?! You already ate your stack?!”

“I told you babe they were delicious” Izuku gleamed with a big smile and a little bit of syrup on the corner of his mouth.

They both shared a laugh. Izuku went for seconds and started filling his plate up again with that same kid-like energy. Ochaco couldn’t help but stop and stare at him. He was perfect to her. His green, curly hair that she loved to run her fingers through oh so much. His deep emerald colored eyes that she would get lost in from time to time when they would lay down together. Of course, it was also a huge perk that Izuku was jacked. The transformation he went through from the training days with All Might at Dagobah beach to now was truly remarkable. Ochaco loved sneaking peeks at his muscles whenever he would go to shower or change clothes. It was a fun little game she played with herself. Alas, Ochaco snapped out of her Izuku fueled daze.

“So what time is Todoroki and Momo coming over?”

Izuku swallowed his mouthful of pancake before answering. “He said around 1:30” Izuku responded after taking a sip of milk.

“Plenty of time for us to get ready and write down a list of essential things we need”

“Ok, well you can hop in shower first once you finish up your pancakes” Ochaco smirked, she wanted to set in motion a devious plan to play her little game.

“Well if I go first I’m going to take all the hot water so you should just join me if you want a warm shower.” Izuku had caught onto this little game Ochaco liked to play a while ago, he just went along with it.

“Uh oh I was caught red handed” Ochaco said to herself as the redness in her face began to rise like a thermometer. Izuku noticed this and automatically knew what he said was super effective.

Satisfied with himself, Izuku stood up and took his plate over to the sink. He placed the dish in the sink then walked past Ochaco. He bent over slightly so he could whisper in her ear.

“If you want that warm shower you better hurry.” Izuku smirked and then ran for the bedroom like a child who was up to no good. .

“D-D-Deku wait up!” Ochaco hollered and shot up from her seat following Izuku in hot pursuit.

At 1:30 right on the dot there was knocking on the door. “Babe can you get that I’m getting dressed.” Ochaco yelled out from the bedroom.

“Yeah I got it” Izuku replied while lifting himself up from the living room couch. When Izuku flung the door open he wasn’t expecting to see Momo’s face beat red and Todoroki looking down at the ground with a light flush of pink going across his face.

“Ummm is everything ok you guys?” Izuku asked cautiously. “Y-y-yes-e-e-everything is p-p-perfectly fine” Momo managed to stutter out, her face still cherry red. “Ummm ok well come on in, please make yourselves at home. Ochaco will be out momentarily then we can head out.”

Unbeknownst to Midoriya, an old lady that was sitting on a bench in front of the complex saw Todoroki and Momo walk in and complemented how cute of a couple they were. Normally, this would be totally harmless but not to Todoroki and Momo. The known couples from the old class were Midoriya and Uraraka, Ojiro and Hagakure, Kirishima and Ashido, Kaminari and Jiro. The newest one out of the class was Todoroki and Yaoyorozu. They have only been dating for 2 months so all of this stuff is still new to them.

After stepping into the apartment, both of them managed to calm down and normal color returned back to their faces. Ochaco just finished getting dressed and walked into the living room to greet the couple. The four of them were gathered around the coffee table discussing their course of action for the party shopping endeavor.

“So Todoroki and I will go grab the snacks, cups, and other essential things while you and Momo grab the alcohol?” Izuku said with a concerning tone.

“Yep!” Ochaco nodded, her minding thinking of that mango Ciroc vodka she wants oh so badly.

“Ochaco, is alcohol really a good idea? Do you remember what happened last time” Izuku said in the same tone as before.

Ochaco scrunched her nose and eyes and started making cute grunting sounds to try and act like she was brain blasting the memory to her. Izuku did not find it amusing.

“Ok smart ass, I’ll remind you. Long story short, it ended up with you getting drunk, mouthing off to some very low end villains at a bar then it turned violent and I had to step in.” Izuku remembered that it ended in the 3 criminals being arrested and a little worse for wear thanks to One for All. He also remembered that the rest of the night drunk Ochaco was clinging to him saying how strong and protective her man is.

“Oh yeah I do remember that, now that you mention it” Ochaco said with a slight embarrassed look as she threw her hand behind her head. She knew exactly what he was talking about; she just wanted to tease him a little bit. After Izuku got done reciting that story Ochaco walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his back.

“Ummm Ochaco everything alright?” Izuku heard sniffling coming from his chest. Ochaco looked up so that she was face to face with her boyfriend. Barely any space was between them. She had little tiny water droplets forming at the corners of her eyes.

“Pretty please Izuku I promise I’ll behave” she did little sniffs between every couple words. This absolutely melted Izuku and he could feel his chest tightening up.

“So cute oh my god” Izuku said to himself. “F-f-fine but you promise to behave?” Ochaco nodded slowly, still making sure to keep her big brown eyes locked with his for maximum efficiency. “Ok I give in, get your alcohol” Izuku sighed.

“WOOHOO thanks babe!” Ochaco immediately perked up and gave him a kiss on the lips. “I knew you’d see it my way” she giggled.

“We will meet back here around 3 ok? Don’t be late” Ochaco said as she gave Izuku a kiss on the cheek before departing for the liquor store with Momo.

“Alright 3 sounds good and Ochaco don’t go overboard please” Izuku said with a light yet worrying tone.

“I will keep her in line Midoriya, you can count on me” Momo gave a reassuring smile. At the same time Ochaco rolled her eyes, not liking being treated like a problem child.

Izuku and Shouto stopped at a local market to pick up some things they needed on their list. “So what time does it start?” Shouto asked in his usual monotone voice. “Around 7” Izuku replied while putting a bag of red solo cups in the shopping cart.

“Who is all coming?”

“We invited everybody, even Mineta,” Izuku said with a cautious laugh.

“Everybody? How did you manage...” Izuku cut him off before he could finish

“Well it wasn’t easy getting everybody. For instance, It's not that Tokoyami didn’t want to come, it's just that he was working very hard now that he was the right hand man at Hawks agency.” Tokoyami was quickly rising through the hero ranks under his hero name, Tsukuyomi. He was a very busy man but still after some pleading from Izuku he agreed.

“Who else? Oh yeah, Iida was pretty tough to convince as well” Izuku continued. Iida was in the same boat as Tokoyami. He now fully embraced the Ingenium legacy his brother left him and was working hard over to carry on the tradition. “At first he was very adamant on not going because of the work he needed to do over in Hosu so I had no choice then to pull out the best friend card and it worked like a charm” This got a good chuckle out of Izuku and even a small smile out of Shouto.

“And last but not least, Bakugou” Izuku trailed off a little bit. “Oh yeah how did you manage that” Shouto tapped his chin.

“Well the thing is I didn’t” Izuku scratched the back of his head with an uneasy smile

“I knew I could never convince Lord Explosion Murder myself so I enlisted the help of Kirishima”

To everyone's shock Bakugou signed onto Best Jeanist agency and began his hero work from there. He was still dead set on becoming the No. 1 hero and beating Midoriya and Todoroki to the top.

“So what did Kirishima say to convince Bakugou to come?”

“Apparently he told Kacchan he could drink more beer then him and you know how Kacchan gets when you tell him you are better at something then he is” Izuku and Shouto shared a small laugh together, both of them reminiscing about the old times at U.A. and the dysfunctional family they both came to love known as Class 1-A.

After a brief silence, “Ok enough questions for me it's your turn now” Izuku said with a devious smile on his face

Todoroki suddenly tensed up because he knew exactly what he was about to ask. “So how are you and Momo” Izuku said teasingly.

“Ummmm we are fine” Each word Shouto said got quieter and quieter.

“Come on man it's just me and you right now, the girls aren’t here so lay it on me” Izuku said with confidence hoping to inspire his friend. Shouto was still a little hesitant to speak up about his relationship even if it was to Midoriya, one of his closest friends.

“It's just I don't know what to do. I have never been in this situation before. I really like her Midoriya.” A light flash of red came across his face.

“You remind me of exactly how I was when I first started dating Ochaco” Izuku laughed. The redness on Todoroki’s face got slightly brighter.

“You getting all flustered like this is a good thing Todoroki. When I would get all nervous and freeze up around Ochaco it made me realize how much I loved her.” Izuku finished with a pat on his friend's back. “Yeah, maybe you are right,” Todoroki said, now in deep thought.

The two young heroes finished up their conversation, grabbed what they needed to and headed to the checkout line. Izuku looked at his watch and a panicked look came over his face. Todoroki noticed this change in expression. “What’s wrong?”

“The girls are going to kill us if we are late, we have to hurry” Izuku’s voice hastened with some fear attached to it.

Midoriya and Todoroki left the market at a quickened pace as they headed for the meet up place. Ochaco and Momo were already there waiting with brown paper bags in hand. Ochaco looked very pleased with herself.

“What's got you all excited babe?” Izuku asked his girlfriend who looked like she was on cloud 9.

“The alcohol I wanted was on sale!” Ochaco said while rubbing the bottle to her round cheek.

“She is so freaking cute” Izuku sighed and smiled.

“Come on we gotta get home now” Her mood quickly changed and started speed walking towards their home.

“O-o-ochaco slow down, wait up” Izuku realizing he had to get her under control so he grabbed her hand to reel her in. This brought Ochaco back to her senses and she, now realized that she is holding his hand, grabbed onto his arm and walked with this floatsy look on her face. Momo and Todoroki were walking behind them watching this whole thing go down. A soft, light chuckle broke out between the two as they watched Midoriya try to control the determined Ochaco. The two weren’t paying attention and got close enough to each other that their hands bumped for a brief moment. Momo’s face lit up like a fresh, ripe tomato and Todoroki immediately looked down at the ground or the sky, anywhere so that his embarrassment wasn’t showing.

After a few seconds of awkward silence Shouto remembered a pep talk Midoriya gave him a while ago before Momo and him were dating. Shouto had just told Midoriya he liked Momo and asked for advice. Deku tells him how he managed the courage to ask Uraraka. Deku told him “ I have been a nervous wreck my whole life. I always over think, and over analyze things, but when I’m around her everything feels right so I threw caution to the wind and took a chance. It felt good to control my fear and actually muster up the courage to do it and I haven’t regretted it at all.” These words echoed in Shouto's mind as he was walking next to Momo.

“I took Midoriya’s advice back then before I asked Momo out. I can do it again. Stop being scared Shouto” Todoroki internally battled with himself.

With Midoriya’s advice still ringing in Shouto’s mind he closed the gap between him and Momo. Before she could back away from being too close to him again he grabbed her hand and interlaced their fingers. Nothing was said between the two but nothing needed to be. The redness escaped Momo’s face as she looked at Todoroki who now donned this look of the most confident man in the word although you couldn’t really tell because he still had his usually blank stare going on. The two walked hand in hand the whole way back. Izuku managed to look over his shoulder for a brief moment to see if they were still following them. What he saw gave him a warm feeling in his chest.

“Good job Shouto”

A few hours have passed and the four of them have been working hard to set up so the night goes as smooth as possible. The snacks and alcoholic punch have been set up on a table in the corner of the living room. On the opposite side was a long foldable table that was set up for drinking games such as beer pong, flip cup, or stack cup. The stereo was ready to go for when Kaminari and Jirou showed up. There were multi colored lights hung up around the different rooms to help create a relaxing, chill atmosphere. Throughout the entire time Ochaco convinced Momo to sneak a few shots for the pre game before the party actually began. Ochaco thought she was being sneaky but like always Izuku noticed. He just sighed and let it go because he didn’t want to bring down the mood for tonight by being a grouch.

“Hey Izuku, me and Momo are going to go change then after you and Todoroki can” Ochaco said as she grabbed Momo’s hand

“Ok me and Todoroki are just going to finish up the lights now” Izuku responded from the other room. The two girls walked into the bedroom and shut the door behind them.

“You think Todoroki will like it?” Momo said in a worried tone as she pulled her outfit from her bag.

“Oh stop your worrying he is going to love it I promise, now hurry up and get changed so you can knock his different colored socks off” Ochaco said with a reassuring smile which in turn helped calm Momo down.

20 minutes went by and the girls finally stepped out from the bedroom into the living room. Izuku and Shouto were getting a little bit of a head start and were sipping on some of the alcoholic punch since they finished putting up the lights. When both of them stopped in their tracks once they saw their girlfriends.

Ochaco was wearing black jean shorts with suspenders attached at the back but they weren’t being used at the moment, a pink long sleeve button up with the sleeves rolled up to her elbow. She was always wearing her silver necklace with an infinity symbol that was studded with small emeralds Izuku got her for her birthday last year. He told her it symbolized that his love for her is infinite.

Momo was wearing black leggings, an all white color short sleeve skirt. Near the collar of the shirt was outlined in red. She had a flashy red designer belt that had a shiny gold buckle at the center and it also had gold buttons running up the length of it cutting off right before the skirt started.

“S-s-so h-h-h-ow do I look Todoroki?” Momo shifted around from side to side as a flash of red came across her face. Shouto was silent for a couple seconds trying to put into words how amazing she looked.

What he came up with was. “You look very nice Momo” Todoroki said as he titled his head slightly and gave a small smile.

Ochaco looked at Momo with a smile and a thumbs up. “See I told you nothing to worry about” she whispered to her friend who seemed to have calmed down from before.

“Now how do I look, Deku?” Ochaco turned her attention to Midoriya who was still standing there frozen. When Izuku woke from his daze. He walked up to her and grabbed her by the hips and pulled her in.

“You look absolutely gorgeous” he said as he gave her a soft kiss on the lips.

“Why thank you kind sir” Ochaco giggled as she returned for seconds on that kiss.

“You would look beautiful even if you wore a trash bag” Izuku laughed.

“That's bonus points but you aren’t getting a third kiss Mr. Sneaky” Ochaco played back.

“Darn but I still mean what I said. You look stunning babe” Izuku smiled back

“Thank you Izuku, now go change the first couple people should be showing up soon” Ochaco reluctantly let go of Izuku and momentarily felt a wave of sadness wash over her.

“Right, lets go Todoroki grab your bag. We can change in here”

Todoroki closed the door behind them as Izuku started rifling through his closet. Todoroki went into the bathroom to change. Izuku threw on a pair of grey slim fit jeans, a white undershirt that had “100%” in green lighting script written on the front and then he threw a green button up shirt over top but he left it all the way unbuttoned. Todoroki came out of the bathroom a few minutes later wearing a button up shirt that on the right side is white and the left side is red, the color split evenly down the middle, and black slim fit jeans cuffed at the bottom.

“That's a nice shirt, you get it to match your hair” Izuku teased

“No...Momo got it for me last week” Shouto responded quietly. A small tinge of red covered his cheeks. “Alright well let's not keep them waiting” Izuku opened the door up to the living room. The guys took significantly less time changing then the girls did so they were in and out in about 5 minutes.

“Oh my god he is so hot” Ochaco bit her lip as she saw Izuku walk out of the room.

“Your turn to rate my outfit Ochaco” Izuku giggled

Ochaco walked towards him, still a little starstruck. She noticed his biceps were snug fit with his shirt and his pecs were protruding out of the front of the shirt perfectly. “Well I rate my outfit a 9 and yours a 1” Ochaco threw her arms around the back of his neck. “So if you add 9 and 1 you get 10 out of 10” Ochaco teased.

Izuku put his hands around her hips “Ha ha ha that's so funny, you are hilarious have I ever told you that” Izuku teased back. “Yeah, once or twice now give me a kiss please” Ochaco pleaded. Izuku happily obliged and planted a nice soft kiss right on her perfect lips. “I thought I wasn’t getting a third kiss,” Izuku smirked.

“Oh shut up you know I can’t resist you” Ochaco ran her fingers through his hair.

“That's good to know I’ll add that to your page in my hero notebook” Izuku teased one last time before reluctantly breaking their embrace

Todoroki walked up to Momo who was clearly struggling with something since she was slightly rocking back and forth.

“How do I look Momo?” Todoroki asked softly

“Oh my god he is actually wearing the shirt I bought him and he looks so hot in it” Momo screamed to herself “You look very handsome Shouto”

“Thank you, I really like this shirt”

“AAAAAHHHHHH” Momo began bouncing up and down a little faster and covered her mouth so as to not let out her internal screaming.

“It suits you well Shouto” Momo smiled at him.

All the prep work was complete, the four of them were in their outfits and just in time because at 7 o’clock there was a knock at the door.

“Coming!” Ochaco shouted from the living room, Izuku following close behind her to welcome the first guests of the night.

Ochaco opened the door to find a tall, formal looking man standing next to a small peculiar looking woman. The man was wearing black dress shoes with gray dress pants and a light blue short sleeve button up shirt. The woman next to him was sporting a pair of jean shorts with a salmon colored crop top and green converse.

“TSU!” Ochaco screamed as she pounced on her best friend. Ochaco gave her a big welcoming hug that was reciprocated by her froggy friend.

“Hey Iida, long time no see” Uraraka beamed at him.

“Greetings Uraraka, Midoriya” Iida spoke in his formal tone.

“It's been awhile you two. Come on in, the party is just getting started” Izuku said with a smile as he gestured for them to come inside.

The four of them head to the kitchen where Shouto and Momo are waiting. “Ah Midoriya, I forgot, here take this,” Iida bows and presents a bottle of wine to his gracious host. “Ah thanks Iida” Izuku laughed. “That's our Iida, so formal even at friend gatherings” Izuku chuckled again at this thought.

The 6 of the party goers gathered around in the kitchen. Midoriya went and grabbed some punch for the 2 new comers. Uraraka got Asui to take a shot with her but Momo graciously declined.

“Thank god Uraraka is not a pushy drinker” Momo breathed a sigh of relief.

“Are we the first to arrive?, ribbit” Asui asked after taking down her shot.

“Yep but we managed to get a yes from everybody so tonight is going to be epic” Ochaco threw her fist up in the air in a victory pose. This got a good laugh out of everybody.

10 minutes had gone by since Iida and Asui showed up. The former classmates were making small talk when a knock was heard at the door. Izuku and Ochaco went together to see who had arrived.

“Wanna place bets on who it is?” Ochaco teased Izuku as they were walking up to the door.

“You’re on. It's definitely not Kaminari and Jirou because Denki takes longer to get ready then most girls.” Izuku said with confidence.

“I don’t know about that. Jirou has whipped that boy into shape ever since they started dating” Ochaco replied.

“Well let's check behind door number 1” Izuku said as he turned the knob to the front door.

“Hey Midoriya long time no see bro!” The eccentric voice that uttered those words also matched the eccentric outfit he was wearing. He had on yellow, high top converse, black slim fit ripped jeans, a white under shirt that had a lighting bolt in the middle and a black jacket over the top with yellow trim on the sleeves and hem.

The woman standing next to him was wearing black high top boots, black fishnets, a black skirt, with a white baggy shirt that had her favorite band on the front, and a black choker.

“What's going on Denki and Kyoka” Uraraka said as she side eyed Midoriya with a small smug smile wiped on her face.

Midoriya internally sighed. “I’m not gonna hear the end of how she was right”

As Midoriya was still processing his defeat to his girlfriend, Denki came up to him and wrapped his arm around Midoriya’s neck. “Man don’t look so gloomy the party has just arrived!” Denki said with much confidence. Unbeknownst to him why Izuku was a little bitter.

“It's so good to see you Jirou!” Ochaco beamed as she gave the same loving embrace she gave Asui to Jirou. “Likewise Ochaco” Jirou responded back with a small smile.

“Well come on in, already got the stereo hooked up and waiting for you two” Izuku beckoned for them to follow.

“Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about,” Denki said as he waltzed inside. Jirou just rolled her eyes. This got a small giggle out of Ochaco who walked with Jirou.

Denki stopped by the kitchen real quick to give greetings to Momo and Asui. Iida and Shouto followed Denki and Izuku to the living room where the stereo was hooked up.

“Yeah so when you invited us over I made this killer playlist just for tonight” Denki was very happy with himself.

“If the playlist is bad I’m going to have to kick you out” Izuku teased

“Very funny Midoriya but get ready to have your world rocked” Denki said as he pressed play for the shuffle to begin.

A rhythmic beat with a nice melody came over the speakers. The song filled the apartment and had a nice relaxing vibe to it. Denki looked to see Izuku and Shouto slightly bobbing their heads and managed to even see Iida slowly tapping his foot to the beat. If there was one thing Kaminari knew it was how to be a people pleaser. Also his music selection greatly increased because of his relationship with Jirou.

Satisfied with the music selection the boys gathered around in the living room to talk about their hero work they have been doing at their agencies. The girls on the other hand were having a blast in the kitchen. Uraraka poured 4 shots and they clinked their glasses together and made a toast to still being friends after all this time.

After around 2 songs have been played, Midoriya heard a faint knock coming from the door. He passed by the kitchen to get Ochaco along the way who was in the middle of performing a duet with Asui to the current song playing all the while using a bottle of alcohol as their mic.

“Wanna bet again?” Ochaco teases with a grin

“No I don’t” Izuku was still bitter from last time.

Uraraka opened the door and instead of greeting the next guests to have arrived she was attacked by a floating outfit. “Ochaco!” a mysterious voice squealed before leaping onto the confused brunette. It only took a few seconds to realize what was going on before Ochaco replied back. “Hagakure! it's so good to see you. You look fantastic” Ochaco followed up.

The invisible girl was wearing light blue jeans cuffed at the bottom, low cut white vans, and an electric blue tank top with pink stripes running horizontally. To bring the outfit all together she wore her signature white gloves. Standing behind her was her boyfriend who was looking flashier than his usual outfits. He wore white air force ones, sea green ripped jeans, a white under shirt, with a peacock blue hoodie, and gray button up shirt over top the hoodie, unbuttoned of course.

“Hey Midoriya, and sorry for the scare Uraraka” the man seemed slightly embarrassed for his girlfriend’s behavior.

“It's no problem Ojiro, as you can see Uraraka is perfectly fine” Izuku responded with a relaxing tone.

Izuku and Ojiro both looked over at the girls who were in each other's embrace rubbing their cheeks together in a cute display of affection. “Well come on in, got some people waiting to see you guys” Izuku smiled, inviting them in. Ojiro followed Izuku into the living room where the rest of the guys were while Uraraka and Hagakure headed to the kitchen.

“What's going on Ojiro” Denki greeted him.

“Greetings Ojiro” Iida waved.

“Hello, Ojiro” Shouto said with flatness

“Hey guys it's good to see all of you again” Ojiro was a lot more relaxed then before. Right after the greetings were exchanged energetic screaming could be heard from the kitchen. “HAGAKURE!” and “TORU!” were a part of those chants.

“Ha that's the difference between dudes and chicks” Denki laughed. Right after the screaming died down, Izuku returned with refills on everybody's drinks. Midoriya raised his cup in the air.

“So I know not everybody is here right now but I do want to thank you guys for showing up. It means a lot to me and Ochaco. So with that being said tonight is for us, for all of us” Izuku finished.

“Here Here” Denki chimed in.

“Cheers!” Izuku said as the 5 guys clinked their cups together in the middle.

A few minutes later Ochaco called Izuku from the kitchen.

“Hey Izuku, I think somebody is at the door, can you get it” Ochaco asked her boyfriend.

“Yeah I got it” Izuku replied.

As Izuku walked up to the door he could hear a bunch of chatter outside from multiple different voices. They seemed to be bickering about something.

“I think we are at the wrong house.”

“No, I followed the directions exactly.”

“You suck with directions, why did we let him lead us?”

“It’s gonna be awkward if this is the wrong place.”

Izuku opened the door to see a group of guys all standing in a circle. Expressions of relief and disbelief had marked the faces of the young men when they saw Izuku standing at the threshold.

“Wow, can’t believe you got it right” One of the men remarked.

“Sato, Shoji, Mineta, Sero and Koda so good to see you guys” Izuku gleamed.

Class 1A was still very close even after graduating and going their separate ways but this group of boys seemed to stick together like glue even after graduating. They even managed to work at agencies all within 20 minutes of each other.

Shoji was the first to walk up and greet Izuku. The 6’2” multi-armed hero towered over the mere 5’5” Midoriya and if he didn’t know how nice Shoji actually was it would be pretty intimidating. Shoji was rocking a nice pair of flip flops with green camo cargo shorts, and a beige tank top along with his signature light blue bandana around his mouth and neck. Izuku noticed that Shoji was putting his 6 arms to good use because when he walked up to the door he had a case of beer in each hand.

“Good to see you again Shoji, come on in” Izuku greeted him again

“You too Midoriya thanks for having us” Shoji replied as he walked past Izuku.

Next to walk up was Sato. This gentle giant was wearing a white shirt with the word “SUGAR” written in white script within a red box , black khaki shorts and low cut black converse. Izuku noticed that Sato was carrying something too.

“Sato what's up man, long time no see, come on it” Izuku gestured for the big man to come inside.

“Thanks again Midoriya, here I made you and Ochaco a cake,” Sato looked pleased with himself.

“Oh wow thanks, you know how much she loves your cakes” Izuku smiled

Sero followed behind Sato. The lanky tape hero was sporting some ripped slim fit jeans with black vans, and a gray v neck.

“Thanks for coming Sero” Izuku said

“Thanks for inviting me, sorry I don’t have a gift for you like the others but I did pay for two of those cases Shoji was carrying” Sero seemed embarrassed.

“Don’t worry about it, we have more than enough. It's really no issue” Izuku didn’t seem bothered at all, just happy his friends showed up.

Mineta and Koda walked up together. The pint sized, self proclaimed “Purple Pervert” walked up wearing a nice, flashy outfit. He was wearing high waisted slim jeans, black and white high top vans, and a white button up shirt with purple polka dots. The quiet man standing next to him was dressed pretty casual compared to his small counterpart. He had on black jeans with timberland boots, a tawny brown shirt with a yellow "A" in the middle.

“What's up Midoriya” Mineta said with his usual lisp.

“Mineta, Koda, it's good to see you guys again.” Izuku said with a welcoming smile.

“Thanks for inviting us, Midoriya,” Koda said meekly.

“No problem at all buddy” Izuku replied. Koda walked past Midoriya but right as Izuku was going to walk in he felt a tug at the bottom of his shirt. He turned around to see Mineta beckoning him to bend down to his level.

“What’s up Mineta?”

“So what's the chick situation like in there? Invite any girls from the old class 1B?” Mineta said with a sly smirk.

“No, no we didn’t Mineta. Just about every girl in there is taken. I heard even Tsu was talking to somebody” Izuku laughed. Mineta looked absolutely defeated.

“It's alright go inside and grab yourself a drink and have a good time” Izuku laughed again.

“Easy for you to say when you have a smoking hot girlfriend like Ochaco. You lucky bastard” Mineta grumbled as he walked past Midoriya.

Izuku smirked as he said to himself “You know what. You are correct Mineta I’m extremely lucky” before following behind him and shutting the door.

It was now around 7:30 and the party was now in full swing. More than half the invited classmates had arrived, Kaminari had his amazing party playlist going with the help of Jirou. The drinks were flowing, the girls moved out of the kitchen and everybody started mingling in small groups catching up with each other over small talk. Shoji and Sero were playing Uraraka and Asui in beer pong while Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida were watching from the sidelines. When all of the sudden Midoriya felt a strange presence behind him and a chill shot down his spine.

“Bonjour, mon ami” the strange voice whispered into Izuku’s ear.

“AAAAHHHH” Midoriya damn near jumped out of his skin and turned ghostly pale for a second.

He turned around lightning fast to see Aoyama standing there wearing a sparkling, bedazzled t-shirt that spelt out his hero name on the front and his signature naval laser belt.

“Oh Aoyama it's just you, you scared me half to death!” Izuku took a breath of relief as he clutched his racing heart.

“It is I, was my entrance absolutely stunning Midoriya?” the flamboyant boy struck a pose.

“Yeah, you could say it was pretty special but when did you get here?” Izuku chuckled and the normal color returned back to him now.

Before Midoriya could get an answer Uraraka and Asui exploded into a huge celebration. High fives, jumping up and down while hugging was the scene playing out over at the beer pong today from the two girls. They had just come back from a 6 to 1 cup deficit in beer pong to win and beat Shoji and Sero. This caught Izuku’s attention so he turned away from Aoyama for a second. When Izuku turned back to Aoyama he already disappeared into the kitchen or somewhere else leaving Izuku very confused but he is used to Aoyama’s antics by now. He just chuckled and faced back towards the excited girls. As he turns towards the table he is greeted with the sight of his girlfriend jumping into his arms and only had a split second to catch her.

“Deku! Deku! Deku! did you see?! Did you see?! We won! Aren’t you proud of me?!” Ochaco slurred slightly and started rubbing her cheeks against her boyfriend's face. Izuku could literally do nothing but smile. “I love you so much Ochaco”

“Of course I’m proud of you sweetie” Izuku smiled and patted his intoxicated little cinnamon roll on the head then kissed her forehead which in turn made Uraraka melt into his chest.

“Alright Ochaco I gotta put you down now” Izuku said reluctantly

“No, no you don't,” Ochaco said with a relaxed smile as she snuggled her face into the side of his neck.

She wanted to stay just like this for as long as she could. Besides a mochi shop, being in Izuku’s arms was her favorite place to be. Whether that was under a blanket watching a movie together or coming home after a tough day of hero’ing and just embracing each other. It was her favorite thing in the world. Ochaco's heavenly peace was broken up by Shoji and Sero saying “awwwww” in unison upon seeing the two of them in their passionate embrace.

“Get a room you two” Sero teased

Ochaco pulled her head back from Izuku’s neck and looked back at Sero. “We just might,” Ochaco said with mischievous eyes and a smirk.

Ochaco hesitantly climbed down from her boyfriend and rejoined Asui in the kitchen to take more shots. Izuku headed over to the door because he received a text from Kirishima saying they are about to walk up to the door and mentioned Bakugou seemed to already be in a bad mood. Izuku took a deep breath and exhaled before he opened the door. Immediately he is attacked by Kirishima who wrapped his arm around the back of Izuku’s neck and brings him in close.

“Midoriya! What's going on buddy” The spiky, red haired hero’s energy was through the roof. His high energy also played into his outfit. He had on a red shirt with the words “RIOT” in black graffiti script on the front, blue jean shorts, and red crocs. Also he was wearing his Hachimaki headband to complete his outfit.

“What’s going on Kirishima!” Izuku said with the same enthusiasm, also wrapping his arm around Kirishima.

“Hey, try to get along tonight will ya, I put in a lot of work to get him here” Kirishima whispered.

“That all depends on him” Izuku replied

The two of them released their embrace just in time for Izuku to be greeted by his female counterpart. “Midoriya!” The pink skinned girl called out as she embraced him for a warming hug. The eccentric Ashido of class 1A was wearing just an outfit to match her personality. She was wearing daisy duke shorts with a gray tank top and a red jacket over top. She started adding more red to her wardrobe once she and Kirishima started dating.

“It’s great to see you Ashido, Ochaco is going to be so excited you are here. She is in the kitchen right now” Izuku said cheerfully.

“Let’s go babe I need some shots asap” Ashido said as she grabbed Kirishima’s hand to pull him along. Awkward silence filled the air as now all that was left was Izuku and his blonde haired rival staring at each other. Kacchan leaned up against the railing of the balcony with his hands in his pockets and didn’t say a word. His calm demeanor on the outside did not reflect his explosive personality. Izuku was surprised to see him out of his usual casual wear instead he was wearing a black v neck t-shirt and a navy blue button up over the top which was unbuttoned, black jeans and black high top air force ones. Bakugou had this annoyed “I’d rather be anywhere but here” expression on his face. Then finally the silence was broken.

“Well you gonna let me in, nerd?” Bakugou snapped.

“This is going to be a long night,” Izuku said to himself. “Sure, come on in”

Izuku smiled, even though they were always fighting Midoriya was genuinely happy Bakugou came and decided to leave his apartment for once.

“You better not have any shitty beer, nerd” Bakugou scoffed as he passed by Midoriya.

“Only the best for you princess” Izuku retorted back with a sly smile.

Bakugou kept walking towards the kitchen but a vein damn near popped in his forehead from Midoriya’s comment. Kacchan didn’t snap back because before they got there, Kirishima had a similar talk with him about behaving just like he did with Midoriya. Izuku giggled, pretty happy with himself for that comeback.

The first of the classmates arrived around 7 it was now 8:30 and there was still one missing. Izuku was sitting in a chair in the corner of the living room staring at his phone looking at his text message screen. On the screen was a text sent out from Izuku that said “you still coming?” It was read at 7:45pm. Izuku, downtrodden a little bit, sunk in his chair. Uraraka noticed her boyfriend being a sad boy from the kitchen and walked up to him. He didn’t notice her until she knelt down to get eye level with her emerald eyed lover.

“Everything ok babe?” Uraraka said in a soft gentle tone.

“Yeah, just hope he can make it tonight” Izuku immediately downed the rest of the beer he had in his red solo cup after finishing his sentence.

“He will, you know he always pulls through. Remember the calvary battle at the sports festival during our first year at UA, and the work he did behind the scenes for the Shie Hassaikai raid, also don’t forget when your agencies teamed up last month to take down that human trafficking operations in Kamino Ward” Ochaco tried her best to cheer him up.

“Oh yeah I got pretty messed up during that operation” Izuku laughed. This made Ochaco remember how badly he got hurt and she donned her pout face because she didn’t like when her man comes home to her all bloody and beaten up.

“Thanks, Ochaco I feel much better now. I know he will show'' Izuku seemed to have perked up. He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and just as he was about to get up his phone lights up with a text.

“My deepest apologies Midoriya I got caught up in some stuff I’m making my way over now” the text read.

Not even 5 minutes after the text was sent there was a knock on the door. Izuku ran to the door and flung it open.

“Midoriya good to see you” The light from the balcony illuminated the shadowy figure that spoke. He was wearing a black hoodie, unzipped, with a purple undershirt that read “Revelry in the Dark” in Halloween font, black jeans and black low cut vans.

“Tokoyami!” Izuku exclaimed. The two embraced in a manly hug.

“What am I, chop liver?” a strange voice spoke up seemingly coming from nowhere.

“I could never forget you Dark Shadow” Midoriya chuckled as Dark Shadow appeared from Tokoyami’s chest.

“How are you buddy?” Izuku said while patting Dark Shadow on his head. “I’m not bad, this guy is overworking me though” Dark Shadow said in a whimpering tone. Tokoyami did not find it as amusing as Izuku did.

“How did you get here so fast? You just sent that text” Izuku pondered.

“Dark Shadow and I have some new tricks up our sleeves” Tokoyami smirked with his arms crossed.

“Oh not ready to show me yet? Well I can't wait to see it.” Izuku's hero admiring enthusiasm was showing. "How about we head inside for a bit and since everybody is here we can officially kick the party off" Izuku gestured for Tokoyami to go inside.

"Sounds like an excellent idea Midoriya" Tokoyami nodded. The two walked inside and Midoriya shut the door behind him.

Chapter Text

With everybody now present at the party it was time for it to actually begin. Even though all of the classmates had been enjoying the get together so far it was time to kick it up a notch. Kaminari and Jirou were playing Ojire and Hagakure in beer pong while Mineta watched from the sidelines. Asui and Ashido were playful, forcing Iida to drink beer even though he vehemently protested. It seemed each cup they made him drink he got more and more relaxed. Kirishima and Bakugou were in the middle of having a chugging contest in the kitchen while Sero, Shoji, Sato, and Koda cheered them on. Uraraka and Aoyama were giving Momo advice, in the bathroom, to help her be less nervous around Shouto. At the same time, Todoroki was wandering around the party looking for Momo because he was trying to loosen up himself. Tokoyami and Midoriya were sipping their alcohol, in the corner of the living room, catching up.

“So what was that thing you were talking about in your text?” Izuku questioned after taking a sip of his drink.

Tokoyami pondered for a second while trying to recollect what he meant. “Ohhhh that thing”.

“Hawks and I were in the middle of taking down a drug operation near Tatooin Station. That’s why I was late. I apologize, Midoriya” Tokoyami said with sincerity.

“Wow, actually I’m sorry Tokoyami I didn’t know. Did everything turn out ok?”

Tokoyami let out a chuckle “it's fine Midoriya, but yes everything did turn out fine. Hawks actually let Dark Shadow and I handle those lowlifes. I used Black Ankh then combined it with my new special move” Tokoyami teased knowing full well that Izuku was about to go into hero nerd mode.

“Wow, a new special move?! What is that like your 4th or 5th one?! You and Dark Shadow are awesome! You gotta show me this new special move next time we spar” Izuku had this child-like gleam in his eye. It was like if a 5 year old had a lollipop waved in his face.

“Of course my friend but you might wanna prepare yourself. It's pretty powerful” Tokoyami smirked.

“I’ll be sure to bring my A game” Izuku gave him a thumbs up. The two continued their chat in the corner when all of the sudden it was interrupted by Kirishima.

“Hey Midoriya, have you seen Bakugou anywhere? After I beat him in beer chugging he disappeared” Kirishima seemed slightly concerned because he knew how Bakugou operated.

“No I haven’t Kirishima, I'll keep an eye out for him though” Izuku responded.

“If you’ll excuse me Tokoyami I have to go find a pissed off, intoxicated hot head that hates my guts. Wish me luck” Izuku grabbed his mixed drink that Ochaco made for him and began his search for the aforementioned hot head.

Midoriya and Bakugou have never been on the best terms even since childhood. Midoriya followed Bakugou everywhere and always looked up to him. Kacchan developed his quirk earlier than most kids and it was quite powerful at that. This made Kacchan have an inflated ego and he began to look down on people including Izuku who was quirkless. Even though Deku was picked on by Kacchan relentlessly he knew that kid like the back of his hand and knew exactly where he would be. Kacchan would want a nice quiet place to get away from the noise. Izuku stepped outside onto the balcony and closed the door behind him. Standing in front of him was just the guy he was looking for. He was facing away from Midoriya, leaning on the railing overlooking the complex.

“What are you doing out here by yourself, the party is insi- WHEN DID YOU START SMOKING?!” Izuku was reeling from this development. Bakugou took a drag of his cigarette and scoffed before answering.

“What's it to you nerd?” Bakugou replied, still facing away from Izuku.

“You know I’m not going to accept that as an answer” Izuku replied. He had calmed down now and donned a more serious tone.

Bakugou took another drag. “I smoke occasionally and when I’m stressed, it's not an everyday thing. So stop your complaining nerd”

“Just because you lost to Kirishima in a stupid drinking game isn’t a good reason to smoke” Izuku went on. Bakugou looked deep in thought as he leaned on the railing. He stared intently at the burning end of the cigarette seemingly ignoring Midoriya.

“That's not why I’m stressed…” There was a small pause before Kacchan proceeded. Midoriya said nothing. Bakugou almost never opens up and especially to him. Midoriya had a sneaking suspicion that the alcohol had something to do with Kacchan’s sudden need to talk. This was rare so Izuku just let Bakugou speak and vent it out.

“I’m stressed because I can tell you guys are getting stronger and closer to the No. 1 spot then I am” Bakugou finally got it off his chest.

“Bird Brain, Icy Hot, Shitty Hair, Fast Legs and even you Nerd. You all are improving. I need to get better, I will get better.” Bakugou took one last draw from his cigarette before flicking it into the street and turning towards Midoriya with his hands in his pocket and a calm yet serious expression on his face.

“I will surpass all of you, even surpass All Might and Endeavor, every single last one of them. I will be the best. You can count on it” Bakugou said with a cold, calm calculation before he walked back inside.

“I guess we shall see Kacchan” Izuku smiled.

Momo locked eyes with Todoroki from across the room but quickly looked away as a flash of red appeared on her face.

“What's wrong with me?! We have been going out for 2 months and I still get like this around him” Momo said to herself.

Uraraka noticed Momo struggling and came up with a plan to help out her apprehensive friend. She cracked a cute but suspicious smile. Ochaco ran over to Deku who was in the middle of watching Iida down his fifth cup of alcoholic punch. Asui, Kaminari, Jirou, Sero and Shoji looked on as well, cheering the former class representative on.

“Babe, Babe, Babe can you help me out?” Ochaco said with a big smile.

“Oh my god she is so cute” Izuku internally screamed. She knew her smile was one of Izuku’s weaknesses and in fact it scored a critical hit on him.

“Sure what is it, Ochaco?”

Ochaco got on her tiptoes to whisper her plan in his ear. An uncertain expression came across Deku’s face.

“I don’t know babe I think we should stay out of it. Let them figure it out on their own. Remember how we were when we first started out?”

“Buuuuuttttt babe pleaseeeee” Ochaco said in a soft and whimpering tone and just for good measure she fluttered her beautiful brown eyes in front of him. Izuku’s chest tightened up like he had just been shot point blank with a 12 gauge shotgun.

“Fine but only because those two are my good friends...and because I love you” Deku said the second half of the sentence in a trailing voice that was barely audible.

“What was that?” A sly yet adorable smile slid across Ochaco’s face.

“I said it's because I love you” Midoriya replied in a defeated tone because he knew he lost.

“Aw I love you more babe” Ochaco said in an upbeat, victorious tone. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek then ran off to set her plan into motion.

“I hope you know what you are doing babe” Izuku sighed and mumbled to himself as he watched his slightly intoxicated little cinnamon roll prance off towards Momo.

Deku grabbed Todoroki like Ochaco said to do and brought him to the pong table. A minute or two later Ochaco showed up from the kitchen with Momo behind her.

“What's going on Midoriya?” Todoroki questioned.

“We are going to play beer pong” Midoriya nervously laughed. “This is going to end badly,” Midoriya said to himself.

“Ok let's do this! Couple versus couple get over here and play with Momo, Todoroki” Ochaco ran over to the side Midoriya is on and Todoroki walked over to Momo’s side. As Todoroki took his place next to Momo, Izuku noticed both of them were a little ridged and red streaks were starting to appear on their cheeks.

“You guys ready? You can shoot first” Ochaco rolled two white ping pong balls across the table towards the awkward couple.

“You sure this is a good idea Ochaco?” Izuku whispered in his girlfriend's ear.

“Relax babe and just follow my lead” Ochaco said with a confident smile and a seductive wink towards her green haired lover.

It took a couple minutes to actually start the game because Todoroki and Momo had an awkward match between each other to decide which one of them shoots first. It was just one of them saying “please I insist you shoot first” and “No, I insist you shoot first.” Meanwhile, Ochaco and Izuku alternated between staring at each other and the awkward couple across from them. Ochaco gave Izuku a nervous smile while Izuku looked at her with an “I told you so” expression. Shouto finally broke the stalemate and said in a little bit of a stern tone “Please Momo, I insist ladies first.”

This shocked Momo slightly but she took the hint and lined up her shot. She released the ping pong ball from her hand and SPLASH. She made it in the front most cup of the 6 cup triangle. Momo, Izuku, and Ochaco all had pure shock on their face. When Momo turned to face her boyfriend she was struck with even more shock because he had a smile on his face. It wasn’t big or wide but it was a slight subtle one that melted away all the nervousness she previously had.

“See that's why you should go first because you are amazing” Todoroki said as he tilted his head a little and flashed that subtle smile he gave her before.

Momo lit up like a Christmas tree but it wasn’t nervousness this time it was something else. Something warm and hot bubbled up in her stomach then shot up to her chest. She quickly turned away from her adorable boyfriend to try to hide her sheer excitement on her face. This got a laugh out of Ochaco and Izuku who watched the whole exchange go down from across the table.

“Was it something I said?” Shouto questioned his actions in his head.

Todoroki looked over at Midoriya who gave him a reassuring smile. There was an unspoken message Midoriya sent to Todoroki with that smile, it told him that he was doing a good job more or less.

“Todoroki…Todoroki...earth to Todoroki” Ochaco was waving her hand at him from across the table. He snapped out of his little daze thinking about Momo’s smile.

“Y-yes?” Todoroki answered back.

“It's your turn to shoot slowpoke, I’ll be a grandma by the time this game is over if you two keep this up” Ochaco playfully teased the monotone boy.

“Right, here I go” Todoroki attempted to line up his shot then he released the white ball from his hand. The ball seemed to be in the air forever just for it to completely whiff and miss the cups entirely. Todoroki, for once, looked kind of defeated because he couldn’t follow up his girlfriend's amazing shot but suddenly a familiar and warming voice spoke up.

“Hey, don’t look so down it was your practice shot that's all.”

Todoroki picked his head up and turned to face where the voice was coming from and it was of course Momo except this time there were no flush red cheeks or nervous eyes. What he saw blew him away and stirred feelings in him he didn’t know he had. There was a big grin and a soft, calming expression on her face that seemed to evaporate all of Todoroki’s nerves in an instant.

“I’ll make it next time I promise” Todoroki smiled back.

Izuku couldn’t help but crack a grin at what he witnessed between these two. Then he heard a monotone voice that shook him out of his daze.

“Midoriya, drink.” The voice said.

“W-wait what” Izuku replied.

“We made a cup so you and Ochaco have to sip your drinks” Momo finished the rest of Todoroki’s sentence.

“Come on babe don’t space out on me now. We haven’t even shot yet” Ochaco already took a sip of her drink and was ready to go. She was bouncing back and forth psyching herself and her boyfriend up. Even though this was her plan to get Momo and Shouto closer together she still didn’t like losing.

“It's not a competition Ochaco” Deku laughed nervously knowing all too well how his girlfriend gets when competition is involved and on top of that she had been drinking. Midoriya was about to take a sip of his drink when Ochaco got right up in his ear and cupped her hands so that only he could hear her.

“If we win this I’ll let you [inaudible whispers].”

Midoriya got wide eyed and started coughing up the drink he had in his mouth and his face turned redder than a tomato. It reminded Ochaco of who he used to be when they first started dating. This made her happy and laugh seeing him still get a little flustered around her. Ochaco was pleased with herself now that she gave a little inspiration to her boyfriend.

“Ok, I’m going first!” She exclaimed.

Ochaco steadied her arm, took a deep breath in and flung the ball on the exhale. SPLASH! The ball perfectly swished into the middle cup.

“WOOHOO I did it babe” Ochaco jumped up and down and turned around to grab her boyfriend. She latched on to his waist and looked up at him. Midoriya already knew what she wanted so he leaned down and gave her a kiss which in turn put a huge grin on her face. Momo and Shouto looked on at this display of affection with slight nervous apprehension. They weren’t really sure what to make of this but they both ended up scooting closer to each other.

“It's working.” Ochaco said to herself.

“Ok, my turn” Izuku stepped up to the table and tried to line up his shot.

“Ummmm Ochaco it's a little hard to shoot with you latched onto me like this.”

Ochaco was attached to him from the back and was resting her head on his muscular back rubbing her cheeks up and down it.

“S-s-sorry babe I-I-I can’t help it, you are too sexy.” Ochaco did cute little hiccups between some of the words.

“Oh no, she drank too much,” Izuku sighed. “But she is still adorable though.”

Midoriya still managed to shoot the ball and make a cup even though he has his drunk girlfriend latched onto him like a cute, adorable backpack. The rest of the game continued and it actually managed to draw a crowd because of how close it was. Kirishima, Ashido, Sero, Shoji, Kaminari, Jirou, and even Bakugou stopped by.

It came down to each team only having 1 cup left. The entire match, anytime Midoriya made a cup Ochaco would perform some type of affection towards him and vice versa. Whether that was kissing him, hugging him or whispering suggestive things in his ear her plan was to show Todoroki and Momo how to be comfortable with one another in public. Midoriya thought it was a risky plan to begin with and thought it would backfire causing Momo and Todoroki to be even more nervous around each other but it actually managed to work. By the end of the match those two were hand in hand laughing and smiling enjoying each other's company. This caught the eye of both Midoriya and Uraraka.

“Mission accomplished, good job Ochaco” Midoriya smiled at her. Right after he said that there was a look in her eye and Deku knew this look all too well. It was intensified now that she was drunk.

“Oh no” Midoriya managed to let out right before Ochaco pounced on him.

Midoriya was a young adult with a well built body so she didn’t budge him but she did manage to land on his chest and Midoriya now had to hold her up and support her so she didn’t fall backwards.

“Why don’t you ever act like that with me babe” Kaminari nudged and teased his girlfriend.

“Because you aren’t strong enough to do that” Jirou teased right back which resulted in getting a solid laugh out of the crowd. Kaminari hung his head in defeat.

“Let’s go Midoriya shoot already, me and Kirishima want to play Kaminari and Jirou next,” Ashido said from across the room.

"Right! Sorry!" Izuku stammered.

At that moment Midoriya locked eyes with Todoroki. “I’m sorry Ochaco would kill me if we lost” Izuku chuckled.

While still staring at Todoroki and a smirk on his face, Izuku threw his make or break shot towards the final cup. SWISH! The ball landed perfectly in its home at the bottom of the cup. This got a loud reaction from the crowd they drew and an even louder response from Ochaco who was still being held up by her boyfriend, attacked him again with kisses and hugs.

Midoriya and Todoroki shook hands followed by each other saying “good game.” Izuku headed back to get more love from Ochaco when they both noticed Todoroki and Momo headed towards the balcony hand in hand.

After the intense pong match, the party continued into the night. The music was flowing, the lights were swirling and spinning in rhythmic circles to the beat. Kirishima and Ashido challenged Bakugou and Tokoyami to a case race in the kitchen. Sero, Koda, Shoji, Mineta, Sato, Asui, and Iida set up flip cup on the pong table. Hagakure, Ojire, Todoroki, and Momo were in the kitchen talking about how their sidekick jobs are going. Jirou and Aoyama were comforting Kaminari who was throwing up in the bathroom. Lastly, Midoriya was sitting in his chair in the corner of the living room taking it all in when Ochaco walked over to him and sat on his lap. She wrapped her arms around him but he seemed different then before.

“Whatcha doing Izuku? Why are you by yourself?” Ochaco seemed concerned.

“I’m just soaking it all in Ochaco, the last time we were all together in one area was when we graduated from UA. I just wanna savor this moment for a little bit.”

This sparked an idea in the cute brunette’s brain. Ochaco shot up from her boyfriend’s lap and walked to the middle of the living room.

“Hey everyone can we all gather in the living room?”

Ashido, who was the closest to the stereo, turned it down to a low volume. “Whats up Uraraka?” Kirishima replied to her request.

“Well Deku brought up a good point. The last time we all gathered together in one area was at graduation...sooooo I was thinking maybe we could get a big group photo?” The bubbly brunette waited for a reply.

Ochaco’s request got a resounding approval by everyone. “Hey, that's a great idea,” Ashido said enthusiastically. “I’m so down,” Sero said and Shoji agreed. “Omg I’m gonna look so cute” Hagakure squealed out and Ojire facepalmed.

“Ok lets do it everybody” Uraraka said with determination.

Everybody dropped what they were doing and gathered in the living room. They were starting to arrange themselves in the best order so that everybody was clearly visible.

“Come on babe” Ochaco said while pulling Deku up from his chair.

“Everybody means everybody you aren’t exempt from that Bakugou” Kirishima said while managing to catch Bakugou trying to run off.

“I’m not taking some dumb, cliche, feel good photo with you extras” Bakugou scoffed.

“Wow harsh man” Kirishima chuckled “Now stop being a hard ass and get over here bro.” Kirishima put his hand on Bakugou’s shoulder.

It felt like an eternity but Kacchan finally caved. “I’m taking one and that's it” Bakugou begrudgingly stated.

“I knew you would come around” Kirishima threw his arm around Bakugou and they walked back to the group amassing in the living room.

“Hey Bakugou, you better not be trying to steal my man” Ashido teased. A vein in Bakugou’s forehead started pulsating and he gritted his teeth.

“FAT CHANCE PINKY!” Bakugou finally snapped.

This got a good laugh out of the crowd but with everybody now in the living room Ochaco set up her phone’s photo timer and ran back to be next to Deku.

“Say Plus Ultra on 3” Kaminari, who was feeling much better, said out loud.

Sero, Koda, Sato, and Shoji threw their arms around each other's shoulders in the back line of the photo. While Mineta sat atop Shoji’s shoulders so that he could be seen. Ojire held Hagakure in a bridal carry with an uneasy smile on his face. Tokoyami was off on the far right in his usually mysterious pose. His arms were crossed and Dark Shadow snuck out last second to be in the photo.

Kirishima and Ashido were crouched next to each other in the front row throwing up the peace sign. Bakugou was on the far left with his hands in his pockets obviously not smiling and it looked like he would rather be anywhere then in front of that camera.

Aoyama was laying down in front of the whole group on his side doing an eccentric pose, trying to steal the spotlight like normal. Momo and Todoroki were sitting down in the front row next to Aoyama. Momo was leaning on Todoroki’s left side while giving a warming smile. This managed to throw Todoroki off and when the picture was taken he was caught staring at her and not the lens. He is, however, giving a small smile aimed towards his beautiful girlfriend.

Asui was sitting in her classic frog-like stance right next to Todoroki and like Ashido and Kirishima, she was throwing up the peace sign. Iida was in the back row next to Shoji, standing at attention like the robot he is. Kaminari, who managed to pull himself together for the photo, now had his arms wrapped around Jirou’s waist while he stood behind her and rests his head on her shoulder. Jirou laid one hand on top of his and the other hand cupping his cheek. She had a cute little smile to match her boyfriend’s.

Last but not least was the keystone of class 1A, Izuku and Ochaco. They were standing in the center of it all. Right before the flash went off Midoriya looked at Ochaco.

“Thanks for everything tonight babe. This was a great idea” Izuku said with a heartwarming smile that melted Ochaco from the inside out. Before Ochaco could react the flash went off and Izuku planted a soft kiss right on her lips.

“Lets see! Lets see!” Ashido and Hagakure both said in unison. Ochaco pulled up the picture in her camera roll and showed the crowd.

“Damn, I look good,” Mineta said confidently.

“You wish short stuff” Sero chimed in jokingly.

“Look how cute I am Ojire!” Hagakure beckoned to her boyfriend.

“Yo, send that to me ASAP gotta upload that to Instagram” Kaminari said while still using Jirou as a crutch to stand up. Everybody got their turn to look at the photo until the crowd dissipated and they returned back to what they were doing before the photo. All that was left was just Ochaco and Izuku.

“Turned out better than I could have asked for,” Izuku said over her shoulder.

“Yeah the picture looks amazing Izuku!” Ochaco turned around to face her boyfriend.

“It's all thanks to you, babe” Midoriya said with a smile. “I was seriously worried this night was not going to go as smoothly as it did” Izuku still seemed in a little bit of a funk.

Ochaco wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest. “It's ok Izuku class 1A isn’t going anywhere and neither am I, ever. I love you so much.” Ochaco said in a relaxed, calm manner perfectly at peace wrapped around her boyfriend and face nuzzled in his chest. This put all of him at ease. “I love you too Ochaco” Izuku followed suit and wrapped his arms around her. He rested his head next to hers and together they swayed to the slow rhythm of the music in each other's embrace.
