"Yagibro! How did you and Bakubro get so far in the rankings already?" Kirishima begged now that we are sitting in class again. Kacchan and I didn't come out of our room again until the morning and it's been a few weeks since then. The only time we bothered with leaving our room was for classes and missions. Most of the time we just ate leftover dinner from the night before just to return to our room and either get ready for more training or another mission.
Sadly Dad got worried about us and let himself into our room when we didn't answer but thankfully we were just finishing packing for a mission in Mexico so at least we weren't naked. This time. I gave him a long lecture about personal space that by the time he left he was sulking and apologizing and he completely forgot about why he came in, in the first place. "Dad, what if we were having sex?" I asked him and he froze as realization dawned on him. We had already told him, bluntly, that we were going to proceed with trying to have a baby so by now he should assume that we weren't virgins anymore. And he still rushed into our room without a thought. It's been a long few weeks.
"We've worked our asses off," Kacchan answered when my thoughts drifted from his question to the stresses of this past week in particular.
"Dude, when did you two start live streaming? Your videos are freaking amazing!" I looked up to see him watching a video of us rollerblading in America a couple months ago. I guess they've been binge watching our videos since the news displayed the one that we accidentally caught the snuggling incident. Oh well, I'm not going to complain about the extra cash flow. We get paid from all the views and likes not to mention the donations from viewers.
"I think it was right after school started? We wanted to wait until we talked with Nezu to make sure that we weren't violating any rules first," I shrugged the question off.
"Where are you going this week?" Ashido asked and I rolled my eyes and just shook my head. Obviously we have a mission this weekend and it has to remain confidential until we finish it.
"Raccoon eyes, we can't tell you that until after our mission is complete," Kacchan rolled his eyes before picking up his bag. We travel with only three bags total, one for our personal items each and one for our hero suits and equipment to share. All of them stayed with us during our flight.
"Are you really leaving from school? But don't you need to change first?" Sero asked and I feel a little bad that we weren't giving them any answers but they are only teenagers and they were likely to give away our mission details even if it was an accident.
"We'll change on the plane, they have a separate lounge for heroes on most flights because of this, it's standard practice plus it's helpful for when they need help with something they can ask heroes for assistance," I smiled as I answered their questions. Kacchan and I walked to school with them, carrying our bags at the same time.

"Dude! Is that chocolate?" Kaminari asked with stars in his eyes and I looked at where he was pointing.
"Oh yeah, that was from our mission in Fiji, I forgot all about it. I guess we took out the juice and forgot all about the chocolate they gave us," I shrugged the thought away. It's not the biggest deal in the world so it shouldn't be anything to worry about.
"Wait, they gave you chocolate and juice?" Iida asked, frowning and I can only guess as to what he is thinking about now.
"It's pretty normal for hotels to give heroes complementary stuff when you're there for missions, although most find out about you after your mission is done so they are scrambling to try and leave a good impression on us. Sort of like a bribe, make us think good about them and maybe recommend them to other heroes," Kacchan answered, sounding sleepy. Have I been too much for him lately? I mean I know we shouldn't have really stayed up last night but the way he was just undressing for bed was just too much. He is my walking fantasy, every moment of every day.
I looked back up at him to find his ears tinted a light pink. Oh, right. He can hear all my thoughts. At least now I don't need to worry about him not knowing how much he truly means to me, how beautiful his smooth marble-like skin was, or how much his eyes sparkled in the light; like glowing embers in the early morning, rubies throughout most of the day and like a raging fire just before sunset. He really is beautiful.
Kacchan cleared his throat and I shook myself out of my thoughts and looked around again to find Uraraka looking at me.
"Sorry I was lost in my thoughts, did you say something?" I asked, smiling shyly, I know it's cheating but I can't help it. I really didn't hear what they asked.
"You really do get lost in your head sometimes don't you?" She laughed and now I feel even more nervous for some reason. Is it just me or is she too close? "I asked, if the lounge area for heroes was private? Or are there a lot of people walking through all the time?" She tilted her head, inching closer and I took a step back.
"Uh, well, the stewards and stewardesses walk through the area to get from business class to first class so there is plenty of traffic, well except for a small room that you can change your clothes in," I smiled nervously. Why is she making me nervous? I feel so uncomfortable.
"So," I looked over at Mineta for the first time in ages, relieved that he was here. "You two could join the mile high club pretty easily huh?" He wiggled his eyebrows and I take back my earlier thoughts. He is terrible to be around ever.
"Fucking nasty ass pervert!" Kacchan exploded and Mineta took off running, already well aware that Kacchan is more than willing to actually hurt him if he caught him. The fact is that we joined that club on our way back from Fiji, right after our first time. It's how we were able to sleep so soundly for the rest of the trip. It also wasn't the only time we've done it, any time we were the only heroes in the hero lounge we would usually slip away at some point during the flight, usually the beginning, and expend a little energy before sleeping. Sadly there was more than once that we've walked in on other heroes and the fact that once it was Midnight with some random hero will forever haunt me. Of course, just because she is a teacher doesn't mean she doesn't go on missions too and that particular time we were just going to a different part of Japan, not leaving the country.
"I'm a part of that club," Midnight walked up behind me and I groaned.
"Don't remind me, I would rather forget ever seeing that," I closed my eyes and rubbed at my eyelids. I really wish I could forget but I'm pretty sure it's been seared into my mind. Needless to say we didn't get to expend our frustrations on that particular flight.
"You saw the forbidden treasure!?!" Mineta demanded before grabbing me, a big mistake. Kacchan was finally able to catch him and he gave him more than one punch to the face, not that our teacher cared, she was laughing at the whole thing.
"Gay men don't need or want to see that," I answered, least of all from our teacher but I kept that part to myself. Well other than Kacchan of course.
Momo and Jiro however smiled and actually came a little closer to our group. I think our friends' dynamic has changed a little bit but not enough for us to actually worry. Kacchan freely loved me and I was able to show my love in return and the rest of our friends weren't making a big deal about us getting along like in our first life. Thanks mostly to the way we changed how we interacted with each other from the beginning.
"Oi Nerd, stop daydreaming. It's time for us to catch our flight," Kacchan laid an arm across my shoulders and I relaxed against him. I just love him so much. The fact that he smiled so big right now only told me everything that I needed to know and that was that he loved me too.
"I'm ready whenever you are," I smiled brightly at him and we picked up our bags and I followed Kacchan while we wore our gear out.
"Boys be careful!" Dad yelled, only just running in just to see us off. I called back that we would and we waved before leaving.

"So today we were given permission to climb to the very top of the pyramid as well as film it!" I practically sang out. "We were going to live stream this one but there was a bit of a hiccup with the mission we just finished so we have to wait to post the video until they finish with whatever paperwork they need to finish. Anyway! There is a ton of paperwork and permissions that you need to go through in order to climb up here. It literally took us a week before we even came to the country to finish filling them all out!"
Kacchan was the one filming today and he has been smirking to himself a lot but he has also been mostly silent.
"Oh Arsenall," I looked up smiling, he has also been using my actual pro hero name while we did these videos and a lot of times even while we are working but he still slips and calls me Deku, not that I mind. In this life only Kacchan can call me Deku. Period.
"Take the camera, I want them to get your view of things too," he handed me the camera and at first I'm confused but I guess it makes sense, I'll look at and zoom into different things than he would so I guess that's it.
I'm looking out at all the different things that I could before Kacchan called out for me to look behind me. I spun around, the camera already zoomed out so I could catch whatever it was only to freeze in place.
Kacchan was down on one knee with a hand held up holding a small black box with what looked like either silver or white gold ring inside, with intricate carvings along it. I looked back at Kacchan's face to see him smiling brightly at me.
"Arsenall, Yagi, Izuku, my nerd, My Deku; will you marry me?" He never looked away and I couldn't make a coherent sound but I was blubbering something before I dropped the camera (oops) and all but tackled him in a hug. Tears streamed down my face while Kacchan chuckled lightly and took the ring out and slid it on my ring finger. And I was finally able to kiss him.
"I can't believe you actually dropped the camera," he playfully teased me and I laughed through my tears. He actually asked me to marry him! I thought…
"I wouldn't ever just leave it to our parents. I love you, I just wanted to ask you in the perfect place. A place where I can promise to see the world with you," he answered and I couldn't bear to let him say anything else so I kissed him again and again and again. We'll have to leave soon, go back down the way we came but for now Kacchan is all mine and I'm not sharing with anyone.
"Can you say your answer at least once? I love the kisses but you kind of ditched the camera on me," he chuckled and I blurted my answer out.
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes!" I giggled feeling silly but kissing him with each one anyway. I love him so much.
