the class starts taking bets on which reporter is going to die and they judge it by how calm Katsuki is. AND THEN SOMEONE SAYS "do you think one of the dads are going to step in?" (meaning Eraser, All Might and Mic, but someone hears them and thinks their own dads and the press think it's Endeavor and...a fashion designer?)
someone (probably Jirou) is like, "nah, it'll be mom." meaning Midnight. Because Midnight felt left out when the kids started to jokingly call the other three dad(s)
Iida thinks everyone should stop and just leave them be
and then Kacchan can't take it anymore and starts picking fights/attacking his old classmates/friends
and Izuku gets it the worst
"WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME! I'VE DONE NOTHING KACCHAN?!?!"
Shouto is just confused and turns to Momo for an explanation and she doesn't know what to do, because on one hand this is getting out of control but on the other it's really funny
and none of it is life or death
so it can't be that bad, can it?
Izuku just messaging Todoroki like, why does Kacchan hate me again. did I do something. I swear I wasn’t the one who broke his mug at work!!! and Shouto’s like ? and shows it to Katsuki which leads to more yelling (stop being such a pushover, damn nerd) but also Shouto notices something is bothering Katsuki, because that crease between his brows is almost permanent and his mouth is all pouty
and then finally, Momo looks at a newspaper headline discussing Shouto’s love life during their lunch break and just looks at it meaningfully and then at Shouto and it all clicks.
and Shouto feels so dumb and a little guilty so when both his and Katsuki’s agencies are being called in for backup he walks up to Katsuki and kisses right there him in front of the reporters and says good luck and Bakugou just stares like what the fuck just happened while Deku’s just like oh my god, finally and Momo just shrugs her shoulders, that boy can’t do anything not bluntly, can he.
Aizawa is the most relieved because he thought he seriously would have to have a TALK with those two dumb skulls and boy, would that have been awkward. totally. also yes, they are all their parents. definitely
