Shouta Aizawa clutched the small paper cup in his hand and tried to disappear by leaning harder into the wall. His wrinkled button up shirt was tucked into his suit pants, the matching jacket a little baggy on him. He hadn't bothered with a tie either. He had been less than prepared for this event, deciding to attend his high school reunion last minute.

"I can't believe you talked me into this. Aizawa grumbled, taking a sip from the red liquid in his cup. It was way too sugary and he made a face, audibly sighing. "Please tell me it's almost over..."

Present Mic let out a loud laugh, drawing way too much attention to them as he nudged Shouta with his elbow. He looked sharp in a black button up and leather jacket. His hair was of course spiked way too high and his signature sunglasses covered his eyes despite the fact that it was night time and they were inside.

"Lighten up, Eraser. We just got here. Besides, aren't you read to partay?" Eraser rolled his eyes and responded by taking another sip of punch. He knew Hizashi meant well and was just itching for a chance to get out on the dance floor but was being kind enough to not abandon his friend right away. Secretly, he appreciated it but wasn't going to say so. He scanned the crowd, recognizing faces, names and quirks, realizing even deeper how little he cared. That was until he saw Toshinori Yagi enter the building and his heart stopped beating for a moment. He couldn't help but notice how adorable looked waring a loose-fitting UA T-Shirt and swimming in his way too big letterman jacket.

It had been a little over a year since he'd completely lost his quirk and the world had discovered he was All Might but he continued to teach at UA and the world still loved and valued him. He seemed to be doing very well despite everything. Back in high school, Aizawa had the biggest crush on Toshi and truth be told, he still did. Toshi was the only one who was completely oblivious to it.

"Looks like your man has arrived," Mic teased with a wink in Aizawa's direction. "You're smiling like you don't get to see him every day."

"I don't know what you're talking about, he mumbled but his smile said it all. With a mischievous smirk, Hizashi cupped his hands around his mouth, not that he needed to, and shouted Toshinori's name, his voice shaking the walls and making some of their old classmates cover their ears. He then began waving one hand rapidly through the air, signaling him over. Aizawa choked on his current drink but Toshi looked relieved to have found his friends. Now, Aizawa could hold his own against the Symbol of Peace, remaining calm despite the butterflies invading his stomach and his increased heart rate. They were friends after all and had been back then but tonight he just didn't want to deal with these unnecessary feelings he had. He glared at Mic, that lovestruck smile disappearing from his face once Toshi actually approached. He had his typical reserved smile on his face. He lacked a lot of his usual confidence now that he was quirkless.

"Shouta. Hizashi." He nodded at both of them. "You both clean up nicely."

"Enjoy it while it lasts," Mic joked, "This is probably the last time you'll see ol' Shouta here in a suit. He'll probably wear that damn sleeping bag of his to his own wedding." Aizawa rolled his eyes and snorted.

"Ha ha."

"Wedding huh?" came a new female voice and all three boys turned toward it. There stood Kumori Tenki, a part of their old high school troop, All Might's ex-girlfriend, and a friend they hadn't seen since graduation. She stood before them in a skin tight blue dress covered in glitter, a sizeable slit up the side. The black high heels on her feet made her slightly taller than Aizawa and although he was happy to see her, the twinkle in Toshi's eyes made him bubble with jealousy.

"Has our darling Aizawa finally found someone special?" she continued, one hand on her hip. Her dark hair had been carefully twisted into a braided bun on top her head, then sprayed or patted with glitter to match her dress. Mic was speechless just looking at her and that never happened. Kumori had been Hizashi's high school crush and first love despite having never been with her. He'd thought he was over it but now that she was standing before him, he wasn't so sure.

"You know me, Kumori," Aizawa said with a forced smile. "Forever alone." They all laughed.

"It's so good to see you," Toshi said, giving her a delicate hug. This left both Hizashi and Shouta feeling jealous and they both looked away awkwardly.

"What have you been up to these days?" Toshi asked after letting go. She swirled the wine in her glass before answering.

"Well, after high school I joined the Sunburst Hero Agency. I don't know if you remember that from my letters but shortly after we broke up, Sunburst himself took me under his wing and began training me. Three years later we got married and had two beautiful girls." All of the color drained from Hizashi's face and he bit the inside of his cheek to keep focus.

"And here I was going to ask you to dance," he said half-heartedly, trying to make light of the situation, "Congratulations though."

"Who said we can't dance?" she asked, amused as she grabbed his gloved hand. "One, the bastard isn't here and two, even if he was, my divorce papers say I can do whatever I please." All three of the boys' eyes widened and she laughed.

"We can finish catching up later. If you two will excuse us." Kumori pulled Hizashi onto the dance floor, leaving Aizawa alone with his crush. An awkward silence blanketed them as they watched the two. Toshi was the first to speak.

"I can't believe Kumori is here. After I spent that summer in America and we broke up, I lost contact with her. I haven't seen or heard from her in a long time. She was quite the catch you know. I should have never let her slip away. Maybe things would be different now..."

Each work he spoke cut Shouta like a knife and he scoffed. He didn't have to sit her and listen to this. In fact, he wouldn't.

"Of course, you think that." He turned on his heel and went back through the doors that lead outside. He didn't expect Toshi to follow him.

"Shouta, what's put you in such a foul mood?" He sounded genuinely concerned. "Was it something I said?"

"How are you so naïve?" he snapped, trying to find the car. He didn't want to strand Mic here but he could always come back and get him when he was through having fun. "It was everything you said." Toshi frowned, grabbing his wrist to stop him from stalking off again.

"Shouta, someday you're going to meet someone and feel the same."

"Again, your naivety is pissing me off. I already found someone."

"That's great!" he said with his over the top optimism. "Do I know him."

He tore his wrist away and pinched the bridge of his nose. His patience was wearing very thin... "Just let it go."

"Oh, come on. How long have we been friends? You can tell me."

Fed up with the whole situation, Aizawa confessed. "You idiot! It's you. It was you in high school and it's you now. Satisfied?"

This time when Aizawa walked away, Toshi let him.
