Izuku Midorya is completely broke. He's spent all of his money going to the arcade with Uraraka and Lida after school. Now what's left in his worn out wallet is a crumpled 1,000 yen note. A thousand yen that could only allow him to buy a bowl of ramen.

Izuku Midorya is completely and utterly broke, and apparently his favourite band, 'Radwimps' are having a concert here, and he isn't going to waste the chance of a lifetime to see them.

Luckily for him, the concert is 2 days away, so there's still (a short amount of) time to mentally calculate how he's going to earn 10,000 yen for the concert in the meantime.

There's no way he would ask his mother that amount of money just for a concert ticket. So he might have to go look for a part time job somewhere.

Izuku puts on his shoes and heads out into the sunny day. He walks along the streets, trying to find posters that say 'HIRING NOW' in big bold letters. About 10 times of circling and walking around the street it seems like no part time jobs are available.

He kicks a tiny piece of pebble, hopelessly thinking of what he's going to do now.

Rare all might plushie- 1,500 yen

All of the famous pro heroes poster also autographed by All might himself- 5,000 yen

A set of all might figurines- 2,000

Collection of his favourite manga books- 1,000 per each manga (he's really sad to sell these away but he gotta let them go because he's broke.)

Cute socks with all might's face on it (don't worry, he hasn't used it yet)- 100 yen

Game boy that kinda works but its also kinda old- 500 yen

A t-shirt with Izuku's iconic impression of  'all might' face on it- 500 yen

Izuku looks at the things he's gathered on his bed. He's taken away most of the things in his room, hesitating if he should sell them. He stares at the first all might merch he had gotten, it was when he was 8 and for his birthday. His mom gave him this really cool standing all might figurine. He decides to keep it, and rummages for more things that he csn probably sell.

He doesn't know if it's enough or too much, or if someone would buy these at all. But it's worth a try.

Izuku has finished decorating his room, with banners like 'FOR SALE!", "CHEAP, GOOD IN CONDITION MERCH," "MANGA BOOKS FOR SALE! BUY ONE TAKE ONE!", "or ONE DAY SALE ONLY! DONT MISS IT," around the inside of his room , the door and the hallway. Izuku plops down on his bed, wiping the bead of sweat on his forehead.

He had told his classmates and friends that he'll be having a dorm sale in his dorm after school. They should be here any minute now.

Someone knocks on the door, it's already open so Izuku wonders why. Izuku's jaw drops open, "All might? Why are....you here," Izuku blushes as the famous hero himself strolled around his room casually, looking at figurines and coffee mugs with his face on it.

Well this is embarrassing. "Er, sorry that I don't sell anything else that doesn't have your face on it,"

All might winks and gives him a thumbs up, "No worries, young midorya! Having my face on it reminds me how handsome I am."

Izuku chuckles with him. All might is always so cheerful and positive and that's why Izuku admires him.

All might shows Izuku a tiny pair of socks. So tiny that only three of All might's toes would be able to fit in it. "Hmm, It's getting colder so this might be useful,"

"Are you sure this will fit you?" Izuku asks, but all might just proceeded to give him money.

"Ahh, no, not for me." All might shakes his head, "It's for my dog, Twice."

Oh. That's more reasonable.

Izuku smiles, imaging a dog walking with those cute socks on. He looks at the money on All might's palm and did a double take.

"Uhh, the socks only cost 100 yen?"

"Yes, but your hard work cost more than that." All might drops the money onto Izuku's palm, pats his hair, then before he can protest he quickly runs out to the door.

"I'll see you tomorrow young midorya!" He hears all mights deep voice echoing through the hallway.

Izuku smiles at the 1,000 yen on his palm.

9,000 more to go.
———-
Not many people went to Izuku's dorm sale. Only a few people from his class did, and most importantly were Uraraka and Lida, who kindly donated some of their money. Of course, Izuku is taken aback by the kindness his friends are giving, but they kept pushing him so, now he has 5 thousand yen in total. Izuku keeps saying thank you to both of them but they just laugh it off together saying that it's no big deal.

Izuku wonders what his life would be like without his friends.

They already left after having some snacks and chats about everyday things. After they left it's already night, around 10 pm. He would need to close in a few minutes because he doubts more people are going to be coming in.

He puts his 1,000 yen and the other thousands of yen he's received in a jar and flops down to his bed. Izuku still needs more, but he didn't expect he'd get this many today.

Then he starts to panic, because, he can't really start another dorm sale tomorrow. It just so happened that they have to practice for their upcoming match with the pro heroes. He still needs to practice on his techniques and get used to his quirk after school to qualify. Izuku doesn't want to miss it, but yet he's also desperate to get money tomorrow.

"Uhh, excuse me, is this still open?"

Izuku shoots up from his bed, hair messy and tangled and his room a mess but Todoroki doesn't seem to care. Izuku nods, busy shoving food wrappers under his bed.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

Todoroki looks around. He whistles, "wow, this is basically an all might heaven. I'd live here honestly." He stumbles around every corner of his room, taking in all of the features and things for display.

"You know what I think? I think it's  a mess in disguise." Izuku says honestly, following Todoroki behind. Todoroki laughs lightly.

"You should see my room. Anyway, it seems like I already have all of these things, except," Todoroki turns around and points at Izuku, "you."

He says it so calmly that it makes Izuku become nervous. "Pa-pardon me?"

Oh no. He's stuttering, this is bad.

Todoroki clears his throat, "Sorry, I didn't get my point across. What I was saying is, I would like to buy you."

"Ah,there must be a misunderstanding. I'm only selling the things in this room." Izuku gestures to all the merch lying on the table, totally confused and flushed with what nonsense Todoroki is saying.

But he ignores Izuku and pulls out something from his jacket. "I'll buy you to go somewhere with me. In exchange, here is your payment." He says, not bother to ask how Izuku feels about all of this.

Todoroki pulls out a shiny and gold piece of card. Izuku cautiously takes it from the other.

He tries not to squeal.

There lay on his hands is the very own piece of card that he was willing to sacrifice all of his merch and money, just to see RADWIMPS, aka his favourite band ever.

"I-is this real?" Izuku caresses it gently, afraid it might crumple because of his destructive hands or something.

Todoroki nods.

But it feels so wrong to just take it. "But I can't just accept it," Even though every fibre in Izuku's body wants to run away with the concert ticket on hand.

"Yes you can, because you're coming with me." Todoroki declares, holding out another card that looks like his.

Izuku feels like he's going to cry. He runs to hug Todoroki, then awkwardly pulls away as he realises what he just did.

He can't believe what just happened. That someone quiet and serious like Todoroki would help him during tough times. Tough times being that he's broke yet somehow Todoroki being a stranger yet a friend just buys him a really expensive ticket out of thin air.

Urachako: So?? How is it??

FasterThanUsainBolt: I hope midorya wasn't too stubborn this time

Shouto: omg
Shouto: iZUKU HUGGED ME
Shouto: Thank u guys so much for helping me out ;-;

Urachako: Ha I'm glad. Have fun and goodluck on ur 'Date'!

Shouto: thanks!

FasterThanUsainBolt: babe what about ours?

Urachako: we too broke to go somewhere..how about come over now and we can watch movies

FasterThanUsainBolt: Ayyeee ok I'm already on ur front door

Urachako: Bish wa

Todoroki switches off his phone, and squishes his face onto the soft cushion. He recalls how he was so confident with Izuku earlier. He doesn't know what has gotten to him, but now he can't believe that he acted like that. So bold and confident, and Todoroki knows that it won't even last for long because Izuku always makes him so embarrassed and shy.

Hopefully Todoroki's father won't find out that he stole that much money from his wallet was the last thing Todoroki thought of before he dozed off.
—
Todoroki waits infront of Izuku's door, waiting for him to get ready. It's the concert day, but the only reason why Todoroki is so excited is because he gets to be with Izuku for a day.

"I'm almost finished!" Izuku says after saying the same thing a few minutes ago. Todoroki chuckles.

"I'm sorry!" A gasping and red faced Izuku bursts from the door, "Sorry I took too long."

Todoroki stares, eyeing him up and down. He thought Izuku would wear something much more fancy than a yellow t-shirt and plain shorts. But he still look effortlessly good no matter how simple he looked, or how messy his green bushy hair is. Todoroki smiles, "come on, we gotta get to the show on time."
——
The field is packed with lots of people. Crying babies and happy laughters are everywhere wherever they look. Todoroki grabs Izuku's hands on instinct, and almost regret it the moment they touch, but Izuku doesn't let go. So their hands stay interlocked until they found an empty spot under a tree, near to the stage.

Izuku lay open a blanket, with all might's face on it of course. He takes out two bento boxes, and gave one to Todoroki, who sat obediently on the picnic blanket.

"Since the concert's theme is picnic, I..brought you something," Izuku blushes.

Todoroki thanks him, "I'm sorry, I didn't really bring you anything." But he did bring a thousand yen just in case they want to buy more food from the stalls.

"It's okay, this is my thank you for letting me have this once in a lifetime opportunity and uh, for coming with me. I didn't really want to be lonely either." Izuku quickly stuffs his mouth with rice balls before he says something awkward or weird.

Todoroki stares at the cuteness before him, which is Izuku munching innocently on his food. Todoroki stares at his bento box and opens it. Heat escapes and the scent of homecooked food travelled in the air.

Todoroki's stomach grumbles at the sight of food. There's a cute rice ball in the middle, with a smiley face on it. There's vegetables and greens on one side, and the other is filled with Tonkatsu covered with sauce.

Izuku stares eagerly, and Todoroki can just imagine an invisible tail swishing back and forth behind Izuku.

Todoroki picks a piece of the pork and brings it closer to his mouth, he licks the sauce dripping on his chin, then chews the whole thing without another thought.

"Is it good?"

Todoroki nods, shoving another piece, "mmh. It's been swo longf since I've eaten a homecooked meal,"

Izuku sighs in relief and watches in amusement as Todoroki practically inhales the entire bento box. "You should come over to my place, I can make as many as you want,"

Todoroki's jaw drops open, "really!? That would be awesome."

"Mhm! As long as you buy the ingredients~" Izuku sticks his tounge out. Then he shakes his head, "Just kidding. About the ingredient part. But you should come one day, and I can teach you too!"

Todoroki suddenly feels warm, "I will."

"Good afternoon everybody! Radwimps here, and we will be performing to you. We hope you enjoy. And it's a better experience if you're next to the ones you love. Anyway, happy jamming!"

Izuku's eyes found Todoroki's, which looks as clueless as his. Izuku blushes, wondering if he felt the same funny and fuzzy feeling. But whatever this feeling is, it makes him happy.

The song starts, and Izuku closes his eyes. He hears the people singing along with the heartfelt melody, the cars from afar honking and Bakugo probably complaining why there's no tissue in the toilet. But most importantly, he hears his heart beating so fast when he feels Todoroki's warmth and body close to him.

Somehow, I feel a warmth and comfort today~

Your ever kind heart, the way you smile, and even how you find your dreams~

I knew nothing, so honestly, I've always copied you~

Now, just a little more,
Only just a little more,

Let's stay here a little longer now.
