Work Text:
The last person Izuku Midorya expected to see while catching up with his longtime friend, was a fan of his own.
Even less than that he hadn't expected that fan to be the #17 Hero Shoto Todoroki.
The content Izuku created under the alias Small Might wasn't exactly Safe For Work. Of all the heroes he speculated watched his work, Pro Shoto was last on the list, even if he wanted more than anything for the situation to be otherwise.
"It's a party Icy-Hot, my own Birthday and you didn't even bring me a present."
"I asked you if you wanted anything and you told me you didn't even want me here." A soft chuckle sounds from beside them, Todoroki looks over to see a small green haired man sitting on the arm of the couch. He had a cute smile.
"Here." Todoroki hands him a stack of bills, 109,000¥ to be exact. "Happy Birthday Bakugou." With a small bow, Todoroki steps around his friend and goes to greet the rest of the party.
'Keep it in your pants Deku, he's just a man.'
'He's so hot it's unfair'
Todoroki makes his rounds, greeting his old classmates, to no surprise Bakugo kept the gathering small. The apartment looked no smaller with everyone that was in attendance. Todoroki and Bakugo were similar on that front.
When he makes it to the kitchen Kirishima is sitting at the counter with a drink in his hand and Kamanari at his side.
"Todoroki. Dude how've you been it's been ages." Kirishima walks over to give Todoroki a hug, though he was typically not a fan of affection, he'd grown used to Kirishima's affectionate nature, he'd even argue he liked it.
"Kirishima we worked together last week." Ejirou simply squeezes his friend tighter in response.
"He's a bit tipsy, don't mind him." Kamanari prys Kirishima off Todoroki's body and fist bumps him in greeting. "Dude, have you seen Bakubros' friend?"
Todoroki takes a beer out the fridge and nods in response. "Freckles, Green Hair?"
"Yup. Kiri's totally jealous even though I'm mostly sure they're platonic."
"He sat on his lap and buried his face in his neck. Bakugo punches me if I hug him too long." Kirishima practically whines.
"Dude probably cuz he'd get hard if you held him too long. I'm telling you, he's totally into you."
Kirishima groans and grabs another beer.
"Anyway. Apparently he's Bakubros' childhood friend. Didn't even know he had one of those."
"Aren't we his childhood friends?"
"Well yeah but they've been friends since they were like five. Explody boys been holding out on us, have you seen the ass on that dude."
"No." Todoroki looks behind himself over to the Living Area where Bakugo and his green haired friend seem to be arguing about something. Actually it seemed like Bakugo was arguing and his friend was just provoking him. A brave one he was.
Just as he was about to turn back around the friend stands up and wraps his arms around the blonde's neck. Todoroki's eyes unintentionally drop and sure enough just as Kamanari said-
"Nice right?" Kamanari had snuck closer to him, watching the interaction. And in a rare turn of events Todoroki had to agree.
It really is a nice ass
Before he could respond he notices the boy heading toward them, holding two empty beer bottles in his hand.
"Midoriya what's up. Need another refill?" Kamanari greets excitedly.
So his name is Midoriya
"Yeah. Kacchan is a bit testy right now. I think he's feeling lonely." Todoroki doesn't miss the way Midoriya's eyes drift towards Kirishima, and apparently neither does Kamanari because the next thing he does is offer Midoriya food, and hands Kirishima a beer for himself and another for Bakugo, then he pushes the other towards the door.
"Take care of the Birthday Boy." Kirishima pouts for a little then excitedly walks toward his crush. "God those two will be the death of me. I have to play wingman and third wheel. It's exhausting.
"Yeah Kacchan's pretty stubborn, I honestly think he's scared."
"Makes sense, he doesn't know how to 'relationship' properly." Midoriya hums in response. "By the way, have you met Todoroki yet? Bakugo says you're a fan." The teasing tone doesn't go unnoticed by either boy, Todoroki pauses mid-sip and Midoriya flushes red down to his neck.
"We haven't, No."
"Todoroki bro we've got to work on your people skills." Kamanari uses his bottle to gesture between the two. "Todoroki Shoto meet Midoriya Izuku, Midoriya Izuku, meet Todoroki Shoto." Without another word Kamanari leaves, no doubt to go find his boyfriend.
"Sorry about that. I was working up the courage to introduce myself but I didn't want to seem obsessive since this is a personal event "
"You're really a fan?" Izuku nods.
"I've followed your career since the Sports Festival your 1st Year. Kacchan wanted to introduce us but I wanted it to be more natural ya'know." Todoroki understood. Many people had gone to extensive means to meet the Hero they admired. His own father had fired many Nannies who got the job solely to hook up with THE Endeavor.
"Thank You for supporting me."
It's weird that after that night Midoriya becomes a common presence in the group. Bakugou no longer kept him to himself. And he fit in great, he had the whole mocking Bakugou down to a T, he got along with everyone well, and kept their nightly activities secret from the rest of the world.
Midoriya was great to be around too, he was funny, he was smart, and he made the best conversation.
Things eventually got weird when Todoroki decided to let off some steam by watching his favorite Camboy and by and after multiple rounds of self-completion he watches the man say goodbye and he freezes.
The smile. He knows that smile.
"Shit."
Kirishima orchestrates a Movie Night on their day off and Todoroki is forced to confront Midoriya since he discovered where he actually knew him from.
"You recognize me don't you?" Midoriya whispers to him, the bathroom is small enough as it is, but Midoriya decided to ignore the little space they did have in favor of cornering Todoroki against the sink counter.
"Of course I do. Midoriya we've met before." Midoriya scoffs, a teasing smirk slides across his features. Todoroki feels his back being pressed more into the corner of the sink.
"Come on Todoroki-kun don't play coy, I saw that look you gave me, let's cut the bullshit." Todoroki allow himself a second to be shocked at both the words and the tone of his friend, he intends to play dumb, that would be the smart thing to do but he's sure Midoriya wouldn't fall for it, no matter his good he is at lying.
"So what if I do."
"I just wanna see what you want, are you g'na tell Kacchan?" Todoroki's frown deepens, he couldn't believe his friend thought he'd stoop so low.
"No. I wouldn't do that to you." Midoriya seems unconvinced at first but backs off slightly from his hold on the hero.
"Okay I believe you. Just know if anything happens I'll end your career."
"Understood."
"Kacchan thinks I got a really good tutoring gig. And I did have one at first but rich dumb kids are surprisingly stingy."
As a rich, relatively smart kid himself Shoto had to agree with the statement.
"That's true." After a pause Izuku leans back a bit grinning at the Hero.
"So I've gotta know what gave me away. Was it my ass?" Todoroki feels his face flush at the question, truthfully he should've been prepared for it. "Most people say 'I'd know that ass anywhere''" He imitates in a gruff voice.
"No."
"Really?" The genuine shock surprises Todoroki even, "What was it then I'm curious."
"Your smile." Now it's Izuku's turn to be shocked.
"My smile." He says slowly.
"Yes. I remember watching your streams and seeing your smile. When we first met, when you laughed at a comment I made I couldn't place it but then I watched one of your shows the other day and I realized it."
Midoriya starts laughing, no longer in Todoroki's space he slides down to the floor opposite of the younger, his laughter not dying down for another minute or so.
"Wow that's a first. You wouldn't believe how many people come up to me and grab my ass because It looks familiar ."
"Oh." Todoroki never thought about that, it was a god awful pickup line but with the way his fans talk online it's no surprise they'd approach him that way.
"I mean it's a nice ass, I make sure of it but personal space y'know." The irony is not at all lost on the younger.
"You seem different in person."
"Yeah. My viewers love the damsel in distress bit, they like control. The money's good so I play the role but it's not entirely me."
"That makes sense." They stand in silence for a little while before Midoriya speaks again.
"So did you continue watching?"
"Excuse me?"
"When you realized it. Did you keep-" Izuku makes a vague motion, mimicking a handjob.
Yes
"No." Midoriya scoffs a smirk on his face.
"Liar."
The door to the bathroom swings open revealing Bakugou and Kirishima. Luckily the two had space between them but regardless Bakugo wasn't pleased. He looked between the two and frowned. Grabbing Izuku's hand he drags him put of the bathroom tossing a "Don't even try it Icy-Hot '' Todoroki watches on silently, sharing a look with Kirishima.
By the time he makes it back he finds Izuku gone, Bakugo had put him in a Taxi and sent him home. When he comes back he gruffly walks up to Shoto who is almost positive he was going to get hit. He stops short.
"Text the nerd, he wants to hear from you." "I don't approve of this but he has dirt on me so I couldn't say no. Believe me I hate the idea of you two."
