《Just for the Summer (TodoBakuDeku)》Chapter 8

~Time Skip~
Izuku's POV~
It's been about two weeks since the first night we all fell asleep on the couch. After Kacchan turned up at Todoroki's dorm the next night, we've all just gotten into the habit of all sleeping in one of our dorms. Between Kacchan's nightmares and Todoroki's insomnia, they both needed help to be able to get any sort of sleep.
Besides all of us just sleeping together, we've also got a lot... closer? More friendly? I don't really know how to describe the change.
Kacchan rarely yells at either of us anymore, at least in a malicious way. It's Kacchan, so he yells a lot, but like, he isn't mean about it anymore, if that makes sense.
Todoroki had opened up a lot more around us. He's just... getting more used to being around other people. He had been isolated for so long as a child, and then even getting to UA, he still managed to keep himself separated from everyone. The past few weeks he's walls have been slowly coming down.
Kacchan and I had also discovered his sense of humor.
Besides just those things, we had all gotten more... affectionate? Like we were nearly always holding hands or leaning on each other. If we were just hanging out around the common room, I was usually laying on one of them or being used as a teddy bear, which seemed to be my job title at that point.
Currently, Todoroki and I were both hanging out in my dorm, waiting for Kacchan to get back from his parent's house. His mother had asked him to go and check on everything, since she was still gone on her trip and his dad was... I didn't actually know where his dad was. Doing something, I assumed.
"Hey Midoriya-" He started, but I cut him off.

"Todoroki, would you please direct your attention to the way we are currently laying?" I asked him politely. I was finally going to bring up something that had been bothering me ever since our second night of being... cuddle buddies?
He looked down at how we were positioned. He had his back against the wall and I was laying on his chest, facing him as our legs were intertwined. "What'd about it?" He asked me, probably more confused than he was letting on.
"Do you think we're past last names yet?" I asked him. I had actually been worried about bringing that topic up. I wasn't sure what any of us were to each other, or how actually close they considered us, so I wasn't sure if I was opening a door I'd rather have stay shut.
Realization crossed his features. Another new thing about him. He had been letting us actually see what he was feeling, dropping his stoic expression. It was a relief if I was being honest. It was just to hard to figure out what he was think or how he felt before. Now, it was getting easier.
"Well yeah, I just wasn't sure what you were okay with." He said honestly.
I looked up at him in surprise. "Really?" I asked him.
"Yes Izuku," He said, emphasizing my first name, "I'm always cautious with you two. I don't want to make either of you uncomfortable or anything." He said with a shrug.
"Awe Shoto! You can be so sweet when you try." I said teasingly, pinching one of his cheeks, earning a small smile.
"I wish you smiled more." I said randomly, before slapping my hand over my mouth.
He reached up and moved my hand away. "You know you're allowed to say stuff like that, right? I won't be upset or offended. I like knowing what you're thinking about, especially when it's about me." He said, actually winking at the end.

I giggled at the gesture. "Have you been hanging out with Kaminari lately?" I asked him as a joke.
"I wish. I've had all my time lately, taken up by two certain boys. They're quite the handful." He said back, deciding to continue the teasing.
"Well I'm sure you're no walk in the park either." I retorted, sitting up on his lap and crossing my arms sassily.
Just then, Kacchan walked into the room. He took one looked at our position and snorted. "What'd you do this time, Icyhot?" He asked.
"Kacchan!" I said happily, trying to get up and go to the other, but Shoto decided that I wasn't allowed to, and grabbed my hips, successfully keeping me in place. "Hey! Let me go." I pouted.
"No, I don't really feel like it." He said casually, shrugging his shoulders.
I knew I couldn't take him without the use of my quirk, and I wasn't about to Detroit Smash him because he wouldn't let me get up, so I resorted for back up. "Kacchan, Shoto's being mean." I said to the blonde.
He chuckled at my predicament and walked over to my bed, taking off his shoes as he went. He dropped himself down on the other side of the bed on his side, propping himself up on one of his elbows. "Sounds like a you problem, nerd." He said.
I gasped at him. "But Kacchan, you didn't hear what he said about us!" I exclaimed, smirking at Shoto. I knew I'd get Kacchan on my side quickly.
"Izuku, I was kidding!" He said.
"What'd he say?" Kacchan asked, his curiosity peeked.
"He was complaining that we were taking up all his time! And that he'd rather be hanging out with Kaminari." I explained.
"Did he really now?" He asked, looking over at Shoto.
"Oh c'mon, I was joking!" He tried to defend.
"I think I'll just be taking the nerd then, and you can go hang out with dunce face." Kacchan said, quickly grabbing me out of Shoto's arms when he wasn't expecting it and booking it out of his dorm.
He set me down once we were outside his dorm. He grabbed the handle and pulled tight, making it so Shoto was locked in. "Oh for the love of God, you two! Let me out of my room!" Shoto yelled through the door, trying to pull it open.
"Listen to me Deku," Kacchan said, grabbing my attention. "Go hold the door to the stairwell open for me. I'm gonna let go of his door and we're gonna book it down the stairs, got it?" He whispered to me, so Shoto couldn't hear us.
I giggled and nodded, making my way to the stairs. I held the door open and got ready to run when Kacchan let go. He mouthed a count down from three.

An Unwilling Monster
In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally? Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey. This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.

Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.
