Both Katsuki and Shoto started to notice each other more in class and in the hallways. Picking up on who they were hanging out with, realizing who the other was friends with.

Shoto was quite surprised that Katsuki would be friends with someone so bright like Kirishima. But they seemed like compatible friends, Kirishima's kindness outweighed the rude aura that was Katsuki next to him.

On the other end Katsuki wasn't so surprised Shoto would be friends with a brat like Deku. To him Deku was the perfect amount of happy go lucky to bring the double eyed boys spirits up.

At one point they started to nod slightly at each other in the halls. Or even simply going to each other if the one needed to copy notes or get a pencil. No one around them really picked up on this. Not only did they not tell anyone they were sharing a lunch spot. But they still weren't crazy close! To them they made a huge step, but to others they were just being friendly.

Either way the small conversations filled with insults and questions became a bit longer. And now they may even actually answer the questions asked instead of ignoring it.

=================================

"You're an amazing cook." Shoto repeated. This must have been the 100th day in a row he said this. Who knew Katsuki would get sick of a compliment?

"I get it! You don't have to fucking say that every damn time I bring you food!" Katsuki opens his bento box "Look at that you're making me lose my appetite"

"Sorry. But thank you, my dad doesn't let me cook so I can't really make myself lunches" Shoto said this as if it was normal which confused Katsuki. He wasn't joking was he?

"Why the fuck dosent your dad let you cook? Is the dumbass sexist or overprotective?" The blonde takes some tofu into his mouth.

"No. He just doesn't like my cooking. He doesn't like my brothers either, but he is college."

"That's fucking stupid! Has he ever heard of a thing called practice!" Katsuki waves his chopsticks in the air.

"He prefers natural talent." Shoto builds a sad look on his face.

"Ha! Than maybe I should be his son!"

"You don't want too" Shoto suddenly changes his entire attitude when he said this.

"Yeah no duh, he sounds like an asshole! I was saying I was great and talented dumbass!"

"Yeah."

A silence creeps over them, but this time it's different. It's an awkward silence.

"What do you plan for college?" Katsuki wanted to end the silence. Which is new for him, he never felt awkward much before and he wasn't a fan of it.

"I'm not sure yet." Shotos usual plain voice is now back and all the resentment has been left behind with the previous conversation.

"I want to be a lawyer!" Katsuki says this sounding more excited than he wanted. He couldn't help it but still flushed at the sudden show of care he gave.

"Maybe you should get your anger under control first." Shoto snickered.

"YA KNOW WHAT! FUCK YOU! I make lunch for you and everything and you give me a shitty attitude! Who the hell do you think you are!" Katsuki shouts.

"I'm Shoto."

"YOU'RE ANNOYING"

"Shoto."

"ANNOYING!"
