First time?

Musutafu Japan- 6:00 P.M
Izuku P.O.V
Izuku was sitting on the couch watching one of his favorite T.V shows when Katsuki burst into the room, a look of disdain and pain on his face. "Hey Deku... Can you pause that? We need to talk." Alarm bells started ringing in Izuku's mind at about a million miles an hour. Usually when someone says they need to talk, that never means anything good. "Sure Kacchan..." He paused his T.V show and continued. "What did you want to talk to me about?" Katsuki sat down on the couch next to him, and looked Izuku in the eyes. "Izuku... Are you seeing anyone else?" Izuku's eyes widened and he looked at Katsuki like he grew a second head. 'What does he mean, am I seeing anyone else? I only love him. I've only ever loved him.' He pauses for a moment to answer the question. "What brought this on Kacchan? Did something happen today?"
Katsuki sighs and leans back on the couch. "I was hanging out with the squad today, and raccoon eyes mentioned that if someone is spending extended periods of time outside of the house, not answering phone calls or texts, and generally just not as involved with their partner... they're usually cheating. So I wanted to ask... Are you cheating on me?" Izuku's eyes narrowed. "No Kacchan, I'm not cheating on you. Why would you think I was cheating on you." Katsuki pauses before answering. "You've been spending a lot of time with IcyHot recently, and you hardly ever answer my texts, or calls when you're with him, or your squad." Izuku, now realizing that this conversation is quickly getting out of hand, tries to explain.
"Kacchan, I'm not seeing Todoroki." He puts it bluntly. Not wanting Katsuki to continue down the train of thought he's currently stuck on. "Then why do you keep seeing him. Why do you both keep going to undisclosed locations, and spending HOURS there." Izuku doesn't have an answer for him here. Well, he does, but he was sworn into secrecy. Hanta and Shouto wanted to keep their relationship a secret from both squads. The only reason Izuku knows, is because Shouto asked him for relationship advice in their second year, and they've been keeping him up to date since then. He's also been spending time with Sero, but he's not going to disclose that little piece of information to Katsuki. He's been helping Sero plan his proposal to Shouto for months now, and keeping Shouto busy so that he doesn't get suspicious of their activities. "That's what I thought. You're looking down on me again Deku. I thought we got over that in our second year at UA. But I guess not."
~Present day: 6 years after UA~
Kyoto Japan- 4:00 P.M
Izuku P.O.V
Izuku and his band walked out on stage, waving and smiling at the crowd as they took their places. The crowd went wild, screaming their names, and jumping up and down in their excitement. Izuku on the microphone, Tsu on the drums, Ochako on the backup vocals, Shouto on the guitar, and Tenya on the Keyboard. "Hello Kyoto! My band, the Veridian Vipers, are proud to welcome you to our concert tonight!" The crowd's screams grew louder as the lights dimmed in the concert hall. "Our first song is one you've all probably heard before, and love very much. If the spotify listens are any indication. So, without further ado, this is Nightmare."
"They're coming, creeping from the corner."
"And all I know is that I don't feel safe."
"I feel the tapping on my shoulder."
"I turn around in an alarming state."
"But am I losing my mind? I really think so."
"Not a creature in sight."
"But, what you don't know."
Izuku flashes a predatory smile at the audience, his green hair falling into his face, adding to the effects. His eyes shine with a feral light, one that sends fear into his enemies and something... prey inducing in his captive audience. The other band members aren't much better, with Shouto bent backwards, his hands on his guitar like it's his lover, not an instrument. Tsu is banging on the drums like they're her lifeline, feral and desperate. Ochako and Tenya keep giving each other the same dark look from where they are on the stage, Ochako waiting for her time to shine on the backup vocals had picked up her own guitar and was walking over to Tenya, playing in the most seductive way she could. And Tenya? His fingers moved across the Keyboard in deft, practiced movements that sent shivers down Ochako's spine.
"Wait, something doesn't feel right (feel right)"
"No, something seems wrong (wrong)"
"And I've been feeling this way (oh, that's too bad)"
"For far too long"
"As my vision gets blurred, my skin's getting colder"
"Appearing young, while I'm growing older"
"I collapse to the floor and scream"
"Can anybody save me from myself?"
Ochako, finally able to sing her backup vocals sang them directly to Tenya, and his returning smile sent the audience to their knees. This band was like nothing anyone had ever had the pleasure of witnessing before. They had chemistry and character. They had stage presence. They had sex appeal. And most importantly, they had talent. They were gods on that stage. The audience their willing benefactors. The screams, and gasps, and noises the audience made in response to them was music to their ears. If anyone had told them six years ago that they would be on a stage performing for a live audience, they wouldn't have believed you.
"Walking to the ledge, I find myself looking down"
"Frozen still with fear, now I'm plunging to the ground"
"If only I knew how to fly"
"Then I could convince myself this isn't my time to die"
"Instead, I'm rocketing faster and faster"
"I dive-bomb to the floor"
"And when my body crashes to the pavement"
"I'm right back where I was before"
Now though, now is a different story. When Izuku went to his friends and explained to them what had happened to him. Told them the sheer amount of heartbreak, and hurt he was feeling... Todoroki took it upon himself to right the wrongs that had happened because of him. He told Sero what happened and they decided to tell the squads about their relationship. They didn't want anyone else in pain for their naivite and the mistakes that they made in keeping their relationship a secret. It was much more freeing, when the squads knew, they noticed. But, Izuku and Katsuki didn't get back together like they had hoped. And now, Shouto was in the Veridian Vipers as Izuku's top guitar player. He decided he would support Izuku however he could after Izuku and Katsuki broke up because Izuku was supporting him.
"With nowhere to go, I'm out on my own"
"My mind impaired"
"Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)"
"Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)"
"Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)"
"Awake me from my nightmare (I'm so scared)"
"Awake me from my nightmare!"
The lights shut off completely at the last line for dramatic effect. Bathing the concert hall in darkness, before the lights all turned back on slowly. "I wrote that song in a time when all I could feel was pain, and hurt." Izuku revealed to the audience, and they coo'd in response to his confession. "A person I loved thought that I was cheating on him with FreezeBurn over here." He said, gesturing towards Shouto, and he smiled sheepishly at the audience. "But we picked up the pieces of your broken heart Viper! Don't forget about that!" Ochako said coming up next to him and wrapping her arm around his shoulders. "Yeah!" Tsu piped up in the back. "You aren't alone, and you've never been alone with all of us here!" Izuku looked down and smiled softly. A direct contrast to the look he was giving the audience just moments before. "We're going to take a break, and we'll be right back in a moment." Tenya told the audience, while ushering the Veridian Vipers off of the stage and into the back.
