Izuku gives Shouto a long look- it certainly seems that way.
But before he can actually say anything Aizawa arrives and starts herding them out to test their quirks. Whoever is the lowest will be expelled?
And Izuku's panicking. He can barely control his quirk, it's either 0 or 100%, and 100% means breaking limbs.
When it comes to the ball toss, things go as usual. He only breaks one finger- and then Kacchan's mad as hell and stalking towards him like he's about to start a fight.]
[ Class is easy enough, even when they get to the demonstrations and tests. Shouto got in on recommendation, so it's nothing to him - he does it, he passes, he observes what little sneak peeks of the other quirks he gets in these.
And he watches Izuku, shocked by the display - for a myriad of reasons.
He breaks a finger as he sends the ball soaring, and Shouto's mind works through all of his memories of their childhood. A quirkless Izukkun, his mother levitating things over to them, the brief moment where he met his father before he left for whatever trip it was he was going on.
But he pushes those thoughts aside when he sees Bakugou advancing on Izuku, and - and it's instinct, from the playground, even years later. No one expect the aloof Todoroki to intervene, but rather than being face-to-face with Bakugou, Izuku gets to see Shouto's back as he steps between them without batting an eye. ]
[Izuku's never had a quirk. He's always been quirkless, and it's hard for him to lie. Especially when he's going to be around Bakugou and Shouto both. There are two people who know for certain that Izuku has no quirk and this is a weird development.
He's not sure if he's going to be able to keep it underwraps.
For now though, he's looking at Todoroki's back while he's trying to protect him. It seems some things never change.]
Shoucchan...? It's okay.
[It isn't and Aizawa's wrapping Bakugou up in his capture weapon. Heroes do not attack each other for some perceived slight.]
