"And, bam!" Jason exclaimed, setting the last box in the trunk. "That's everything!" He offered his hand to Katsuki for a high five. "Good job!"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCJTsFUt4U
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJByRBB9Zfp
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUhzfdfwSY
Katsuki hesitated, before gently giving Jason a high five. It wasn't like he deserved a high five, for Jason did jack shit except talk about himself and occasionally yell at Katsuki to be careful with the expensive stuff. Needless to say, Katsuki did not like Jason, not one bit.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWdJcA8DPC

"So, you're going to like the Battered Yam, Katsuki!" Jason cheered, closing his old apartment door. "I came there when I first moved back to Japan, and my God the food was amazing! I got to get you to try the Katsudon! The spices are immaculate-"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHziZyd5mB

"I'm not hungry." Katsuki lied, hoping that Jason would buy it. "I just want to get back to sleep."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOu6XXfHAMv

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke9ZcMU9LW
However, as if his body was against him, his stomach rumbled, louder than Katsuki had ever heard before! Katsuki blushed slightly out of embarrassment, pulling the hood over his face.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbqlY5LmQL

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5rtDGxjhD
"Heh, it's five minutes from here, so, we can walk there!" Jason chuckled. He couldn't lie, it hurt him a little that Katsuki didn't want to spend time with him, and would even lie to his face about it. He thought that they had made a significant bond. However, it seemed that their relationship was quite the opposite, Katsuki's hatred for him gave the ash-blonde a dark aura. To be frank, it kind of terrified Jason a little. He knew that over time, hell, even after a meal, maybe he'd warm up to him!342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzKSjs4CLQ
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV4BAIu9iO

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyFArIKTDr
"Hey!" Jason called out, running after the ash blonde. "Wait up! Damn, you're fast." He mumbled the last part as he caught up with Katsuki.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMMSMBPfua

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjnJKfrSOe
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR7x76REg0
Katsuki sighed. Jason wasn't wrong. The place looked rather nice, it was just a small, white building that had been through many years of aging and the elements. However, the thing that caught Katsuki's eye was the large, neon orange sign of a yam. Underneath, with large, neon red letters that seemed to illuminate the sky reading;342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KZQjEn6n4

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK7i2BOe41
The two walked up to the door, Jason jumping in front to open the door for Katsuki. The ash-blonde didn't even bother to thank Jason as he walked into the restaurant. The restaurant was rather small, most of the seats filled with couples going out on a date, friends going for a bite to eat for fun, hell, he even saw a couple of families celebrating their birthdays. The small, bright red lanterns hung above each table, the beautiful artwork painted on its sides, barely illuminating the small room. The soft music that played in the room was barely audible, engulfed by the loud conversations. Katsuki could barely hear himself think, To be honest, it felt like home to Katsuki! He looked around, the aromatic scent of cherry blossoms, combined with the elegant scent of food made Katsuki's stomach growl with anticipation. Almost immediately, a short, skinny woman with long, charcoal black hair that was tied up neatly in a bun swiftly walked up to the two, a large smile on her face.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk8VcDNijY

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzp5X4F39h
The two watched as a teenager walked up to the lady, his black hair getting in the way of his eyes. The woman sighed, before forking his hair out of his eyes, whether he wanted her to or not. However, he put on a smile and turned to face Katsuki and Jason.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlLloakXDn

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PKE5qyPwC
"Right this way!" The boy known as Eijiro said before he walked away, holding two small menus in his hand. The two followed the shorter male, to a small booth. They sat down on the fancy, bright red leather seats, Katsuki rested his elbows on the table, his head slumped in his arms. On the other hand, Jason looked up to Eijiro, his eyes filled with warmth and love. "Welcome to the Battered Yam! My name is Eijiro and I'm going to be your server today! Can I start you two off with some drinks?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqlHXoaMjX

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnqNkKx0uA
Once Eijiro had left, Jason's eyes glanced over to Katsuki, who seemed to be disinterested in talking to Jason. "See?" He asked in an attempt to grab the ash blonde's attention. "I told you that this place was awesome! I'm going to get the Donburi! It looks super intriguing! What about you? Maybe you and I can split a plate of spicy edamame! What do you think of that?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eB7rKLAn1
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMJZ6mKti2
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMwB9mXL5z
Katsuki shrugged. Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, Eijiro reappeared, their drinks in his hands. He set them down on two tiny napkins, making sure that the condensation does not leak on the table. After he did that, he took out a small notepad and a pen, specifically, a Crimson Riot pen.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGvwGnwyF6
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCDemHPG8k

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXDRS1bA5K
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxR53nmtXP
Katsuki's eyes wandered over to where Jason's eyes were. Once he saw what Jason saw, his eyes widened in shock.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7GYsMPeKo
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K17t7JC9c
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw59eZzP3TB
On Eijiro's shoulder, sitting clear as day, was a button that had the rainbow colors on it that was all too familiar to Katsuki. Katsuki looked away once more. It was an LGBTQ+ pin, like what one would get if they went to a pride parade or online. However, as he glanced over to Jason, it seemed that he had no idea what the pin meant, yet his eyes showed confusion and hate. How on earth could Jason hate something he knew nothing about?!342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK3MP01GPY
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO14vUZODUV
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cuV4dfzB7
"What?" Eijiro asked as the confusion grew on his face. He looked over to his shoulder to see what Jason was staring at. "Oh! My pride pin! It represents who I am attracted to!"
Jason's eyes narrowed. "What is that supposed to mean? That means you're gay, right?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdZM6imp3W
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHaPwy3wBq
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw84WsA1Uh3
"U-Um.." Eijiro hesitated as he could feel the tension rising. "Yes, that is correct sir. I intend to become one of the first heroes to be openly out!"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDDZu7m3gL

"Since when did they start allowing queers like you into hero programs? You're just going to waste a spot that a perfectly fine straight student could have. I bet you don't even care about saving people. You just want to convert people to have your disgusting preference. Gosh, I can't believe they even legalized gay marriage here. They need to lock people like you up and throw away the key until you can like girls like a normal human. Tch, and to think I supported this restaurant, only to discover they support fucking queers." He stood up from his seat, disgust coating his form. "C'mon Katsuki. We're leaving. There isn't any way I'm going to support this place financially."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpc5LM3zBf
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Qzw2gpO1d
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YwcBsFDg4
However, Katsuki refused to stand up, hell, he didn't even look at him! His whole body shook from rage, the temptation to punch Jason in front of everyone floated dangerously to the edge. How dare he shame that poor kid?! If anything, Eijiro should've been praised for being so brave! Katsuki looked over to Eijiro, the poor boy's eyes were filled with tears, as he tried to hold them back, perhaps as an attempt to not make a fool out of himself!342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYEtr4GYeM

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhIjsJdr9C
"No, it's fine.." Eijrio mumbled, looking away from the ash blonde. "It's my fault... I shouldn't be wearing this stupid pin.." He moved his hands towards the pin and began fumbling with it as he tried taking it off. "It'll just cause more trouble for me...!"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0Loyhatar

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2fJfq2EIv
Eijiro stopped fumbling with the button and looked around, almost as if he was unsure about the ash blondes' offer. It was almost as if Eijiro had pictured it to be a trap! Katsuki couldn't blame him though. After all, he just went through someone berating him over his attraction to men. However, as Katsuki thought about this, Eijiro let out a quiet sigh, before plopping himself in the booth across from the ash blonde.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3hF8Q9BlM

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PHD6buyRq
Eijiro huffed slightly, finally allowing the tears to fall down his face. In an instant, Eijiro began quietly sobbing, muffling his cries with his hands. Katsuki winced at Eijiro's pain. He didn't even know him personally, yet he wanted to hug Eijiro tightly and absorb all of the pain he was going through. A kid like him didn't deserve to go through such a thing.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVN5MaHL75

"No, you aren't stupid for being afraid," Katsuki said, sipping his water. "You're a human. Every person fears rejection, no matter the circumstances.

Eijiro's eyes glanced up to Katsuki's, his eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty. Was this guy telling him the truth? Or was he just lying to him to get his hopes up, and destroy them, like the man he was with did? However, as he studied Katsuki's eyes, he recognized that the ash-blonde was not lying. In fact, he could see that he had compassion in his eyes!342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0FaSNQaAr

"Oh, this? I got it at a pride parade!" Eijiro said, the sadness seemingly disappeared from his face, replaced by his beaming excitement. "It was super awesome! I even have a picture from it!" He stuffed a hand in his pocket, pulling out a small, worn-out, black leather wallet. The words 'Crimson Riot' along with a small design of the hero were etched into the leather. Katsuki cracked a smile. This kid seemed to love Crimson Riot, almost like how Izuku loved All Might! "Ah, here it is! It was my first pride parade and one of my friends helped me with the face paint! It was super fun!" Eijiro exclaimed, handing Katsuki the photo.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiKZQ8ab70

Katsuki took the photo gently, looking over every detail. It was a picture of Eijiro, along with Crimson Riot, standing side by side, both holding up peace signs. He chuckled at the sight of Eijiro, the boy looked like he couldn't stand still from his excitement, his grin practically shining like the sun, almost as if he had won the lottery! Crimson Riot, on the other hand, seemed to have a calmer demeanor as he held up a peace sign as well.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6X8B0JR4S

"Ah! Mina, that tickles!" Eijiro chuckled as Mina slid her finger across Eijiro's cheek. Today was a special day for the two of them! Today was Japan's annual pride parade! The two had finally gotten the opportunity to go to the parade while balancing their school work! However, Eijiro was a little nervous about such an event. After all, it was his first time doing something like this, and he was scared that he would do something wrong. "How do I look?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4clIXKBWi

Eijiro peered into the mirror, completely awestruck by Mina's handiwork. It wasn't much, just the pride flag streaked across his cheeks. But to him, it meant everything! It represented who he was!

"Hey!" Mina interjected, cutting Eijiro's worries off. "I know that this sounds super scary for you, trust me, when I went to my first pride parade, I was just like you! I was scared that someone I knew would see me there, and tell my parents! However, when I got there, I saw so many people celebrating their sexualities, and them being proud of themselves, no matter who watched them! I guess that gave me a huge motivation boost, and it gave me the courage to come out as pansexual to my parents!" She gleefully said, throwing on a black hoodie that she picked up from the floor, one that had a hot pink, a lemony yellow, and a cyan blue frying pan on it. The words 'Yes, I am literally attracted to pans, thank you for asking!' Was etched into the fabric, the letters slowly getting worn out from the years of wear and tear. "Yeah, it certainly was scary to come out, but the reward is so worth it! I've met your parents before Kiri and I know that they'd love you for who you are! Besides, even if we do run into someone we know, I doubt that they'd make fun of you for being gay! And if they do, well, I'm going to hit them with some acid!" She giggled, making a pose as if she were Spider-Man. "But in all seriousness, it'll be lots of fun! Who knows, we may even run into a few pro heroes!"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE6r7j4Ta7

"Whoa!!" Eijiro looked around, completely awestruck by the number of people on the streets. If he was being honest, he thought that there'd be a few hundred people roaming the streets, waving their flags in the air while playing some music. However, his supposed prediction on the number of people was completely off the charts! There were thousands, hell maybe almost all of the people from Musutafu seemed to be out on the streets! Some people wore rainbow flags as capes, while others held up flags with sticks, almost something someone would get on the internet! Hell, he even saw a few families out on the streets, supporting their children for being openly out! "This is amazing!"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfoZUf6Wp0

He breathed a happy sigh, looking around the street. He instantly noticed a float that had two large pride flags on its corners, as it swayed gently in the wind. In the middle of the two flags sat a large speaker, playing whatever song was popular that month. However, Eijiro could barely hear the music, over the cheers and happiness from the crowd, but if he had to guess, they were playing Lady Gaga or something like that. However, as he glanced around some more, he could see a teen, one that looked no older than fourteen, walking silently by himself, wearing only black, almost as if he were mourning someone. his long, black hair seemingly covered his eyes as he walked down the road. Curiosity began to take Eijiro's mind over. What had happened to him? Did he come out of the closet, and had to deal with rejection? However, as the boy neared closer, he could see that his hoodie had a picture on it, along with some text on top and bottom of it. The picture depicted two boys, one with short, almond brown hair, while the other had white, curly, medium-length hair that barely reached his eyebrows. The two of them had large smiles on their faces, their heads leaning against one another. However, as he brought his eyes to the words, his curiosity turned into shock and horror. The words: 'Rest in Peace Hinata Watanabe and Daisuke Ichikawa. May you both live in peace in the afterlife.'342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdKdFxcwO7
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYgW0Ind88
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28g3ZKbw5g
Eijiro let out a shaky sigh. Had those two committed suicide? Was the guy one of their friends? The constant questions ran through Eijiro's mind like bullets. However, as he glanced around, trying to distract himself from what he just saw, his eyes came across a shorter boy, no older than fourteen, and had long, blonde hair, with a small patch of it dyed black. However, what stuck out the most to Eijiro was the bisexual flag wrapped around his back. The flag barely covered his chest, which had the bisexual flag on it, along with the words, 'I just came out to my parents, and now they tell people they have a Bi-son!' Eijiro snickered at the awful pun. While the other kid had an angsty aura, this kid seemed like he was a polar opposite! In fact, Eijiro could tell that this guy had a warm aura, almost like he was always welcoming someone into his life!342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQChhT342i2

He sighed again. He wished that he could have that sort of confidence. However, his mind was quickly taken off of the mystery blonde, his focus going back over to Mina. Speaking of which, where was Mina? Shouldn't she be back by now? Were the lines really that long? Maybe he should go looking for her, and keep her company while she waits. However, she would probably scold Eijiro for worrying about her instead of enjoying himself at the parade. But a part of him didn't care if Mina scolded him, he just wanted to see if she was all right! He began walking in the direction she went in, glancing around at the parade. However, as he was walking, he was unaware of the man he bumped into, sending himself towards the ground.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwdyDSU6we

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHZ1v8LdOr
"Umph!" Eijiro exclaimed as hit the ground. "I am so sorry about that sir! I wasn't looking where I was going! Are you..." His frantic questioning was cut off as he looked up to see who he had bumped into. His eyes went wide and his jaw gaped open.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqknMN5O9w

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TQYE7x8Hy
Standing before him was none other than Crimson Riot. Eijiro had no idea what to think! Why was THE Crimson Riot here?! Was he just supervising the parade just for the slim chance that a villain attacks? Or was he here for himself?342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdBwB0zCqu

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1vycYLsz5
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ2qIEXiiO

342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL26yEpRdA
Eijiro's eyes went wide. There was no way that Crimson Riot, his idol ever since he was a little kid was offering to help him! He was tempted to pinch himself just to be sure that this wasn't just all one big dream. However, this was no dream, and he was really talking to Crimson Riot! He could feel his smile widen at the thought of spending time with his idol.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb4oyGBGPJ

"What made you come here?" He quizzically asked, hoping that he didn't offend him with such a question. "I mean, it's ok that you're here!" He exclaimed, waving his arms around nervously. "I just... I just want to know if you're celebrating pride with us or if you're just on the job."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIlyleE9C8
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppTtTVczzh
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqRT6mVSMO
Crimson Riot frowned slightly, causing Eijiro to panic slightly. Had he offended him with his question? Gosh, his idol probably hated him for asking that. Perhaps it was a personal question and Eijiro crossed the line!342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaxNLjheUD

"It's kind of both, I guess." He said, looking to the side. "A part of me goes to make sure that these people are protected against the people who want to hurt them, while another side of me goes because... I'm gay."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH5Lb5YxTy

"I didn't really know it for a while, until a year ago. I was just curious to see what it was like at first and it turned out that I loved it! Of course, I'd go without my hero clothes on, so it's harder to spot me, but I met a bunch of nice people there. So, yeah.

"T-That's enough, Mina!" Eijiro exclaimed, a small blush forming on his cheeks as he waved his hands around nervously. Gosh, Mina did love to embarrass him a lot. However, he didn't have a big problem with it, because he knew that she would never do it to spite him, just as if he's like a sibling to her! "Excuse me, Mr. Riot?

"So, I see you made a friend!" Mina said, raising an eyebrow to Eijiro. " Oh! And here!" She said, taking out two pride buttons, one that had the pansexual colors on it, while the other had gay pride colors on it. They were no larger than a coin, nevertheless, Eijiro took one, and stuffed it in his pocket.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBkYjqX9q8
