• for clarification, UA High School is the same except it is similar to college where you pick jobs/classes
(it'll make more sense as this continues)

This was it. The final time Izuku Midoriya would present in UA's showcase. The first and final time Izuku Midoriya would present in the Senior Showcase. The final time Izuku's blades would grace the school's ice. The final time Izuku's name would fill the stadium.

The final time Katsuki Bakugou's machines would be on display for all to see. The first and final time Katsuki Bakugou would let little kids try those machines on UA grounds. The final time he would proudly boast about everything that went into the building of each machine.

The final time Eijirou Kirishima would interview his friends and others on the stage. The first and final time Eijirou Kirishima would reflect on his written works in Freshman year. The final time he would ask audiences for random stories and make them something new and catchy.

The seniors were dreading and anticipating the Senior Showcase. It would be the first and final time any of them had the opportunity to do something /new/. The final time they could all show the world what they, the students of UA, could give the world.

The final schedule had been posted weeks before, and it only made the showcase seem that much closer.

Every year the showcase had been in the exact same order. That's how the students liked it. But this year, it was the same, sure, except in reverse.

Izuku didn't start the show this year, with Ashido right after him. He, instead, ended the show with Ashido right before him.

But that's okay. Why? It meant that he would have as much time as he wanted to see all of his classmates, friends, and lovers. That's all he wanted.

Out of the three boys, Katsuki's segment was first. He was already beaming, and a quiet glimmer of tears sat in the corners of those jaw-dropping, magical eyes.

When those curtains opened, revealing the tall blonde, the audience freaked out.

The applause was deafening, especially the screams and shouts that came from his boyfriends. He took a deep breath, brought the microphone close to his mouth, and began.

"Welcome to UA's 2022 Senior Showcase!!" More applause and more screams erupted.

"As much as I hate to say goodbye, I'm also hella thankful to say au revoir to this hell hole," some laughter to ease the growing anxiety that bubbled in Bakugou's chest.

"Today, all of you will see some pretty cool shit. We'll start with the best," he gestured to himself and coaxed more laughter, "and we'll end with the best, Izuku Midoriya."

Suddenly, all UA students began screaming and chanting the greenette's name. Of course, Katsuki joined, taking the mic away from his mouth. Izuku, who sat in front row with Eijirou, turned bright red and buried his face in his hands. The blonde chuckled, and looked at the crowd.

"Alright, now how about we get this show on the road?!" Cheers and shouts, again, filled the open space. Katsuki let out a laugh, (Izuku turned even more red), and began his presentation.

Eijirou's presentation was a mix of thousands of emotions. Laughter, some anger at certain stories, and, obviously, sadness. Tears were streaming down everyone's cheeks by the end of it. Ashido and Izuku looked at each other, mentally preparing for their displays.

Everyone's acts/displays/presentations had been in the same location - the auditorium. Except Izuku's, of course. As he stood in the locker room, preparing to face everyone in the stands, he heard the distant shouts of excitement. Happy conversations were being held.

Bubbly laughter echoed throughout the skating rink. Tear-filled eyes looked at Coach Nemuri, otherwise known as Coach Midnight, and a saddened smile was shared between the two. Izuku wiped his eyes before reaching out to hug his mentor of four years.

"Thank you. Thank you for everything, Coach." One sob sent the two into a chorus of more. Nemuri brushed her fingers through his curls, and smiled to herself.

"No, thank /you/ for everything. You've been an amazing student, Izuku. Thank you for letting me be your coach."

Izuku sniffled, and pulled away, "You'll still come to competitions, right?"

Nemuri chuckled and nodded, "Of course I will, Izuku. I wouldn't miss any of them for the world."

"This is a cute moment," Aizawa interrupted, scaring both people, "but can you two go by rink side, now? We want to start as soon as possible so the Senior Party can go on for as long as possible." Izuku nodded, and began walking outside, Nemuri close by his side.

As soon as he stepped outside, everyone started cheering. The greenette started giggling, along with Nemuri, and walked closer to the rink. He looked at the ice and smiled, remembering the dances that had been done on this ice.

He took off his blade guards and his 𝓘𝔃𝓾𝓴𝓾 𝓜𝓲𝓭𝓸𝓻𝓲𝔂𝓪 robe. He looked around the stadium one more time, before his eyes fell on his boyfriends. He smiled even wider as tears bubbled again in his eyes. This was his moment, his final hurrah, and he was damn excited.

He took the microphone from Present Mic, and smiled. His favorite coach and teacher stood behind him, and nudged the boy onto the ice with a smile.

As he stepped onto the white ground, he felt at home. His blades seemed to take him away, and so did the crowd.

He circled the rink two times, before finally going to the middle. He stood there, listening to the deafening shouts lessen and fade into nothingness. He smiled wide and held out one arm, "Welcome to the final three minutes of the Senior Showcase!"

The applause increased again, and Izuku's sweet laugh accompanied the noise. It died down almost as quickly as it had started, and he smiled wider.

"As Kacchan so wonderfully said beforehand, you all have seen some impressive shit today." Some laughter was sprinkled throughout.

"I am honored that I get to send off our lovely seniors, and finish this incredible showcase. I would say more, but I know I won't make it three more words without crying, something I know how to do well. Without further ado, let's do this!"

With more applause and cheers mixed with fast skating, Izuku dropped off the microphone to Present Mic, squeezed Nemuri's hand one final time, and went back to the middle. He set himself in his beginning pose with eyes closed and smile sat on his face.

You see, Izuku hadn't told anyone the song he would be skating to because he knew the reactions he would receive. However, when "Happiest Year" started playing, tears began filling his eyes. He chuckled hearing the shouts of excitement as his routine began.

He finished his routine and felt the world shift a little. This was it. His favorite routine by far was done. His eyes stayed glued to the ground, and his hands covered his mouth. Everyone continued screaming and shouting and applauding as Izuku crouched down.

His fingers rested on the ice, and he traced an infinity symbol. He smiled to himself as the tears traced their own patterns down his freckled cheeks. He stood back up as the tears quickened, and he looked around the stadium. Izuku took a deep breath, as he spun around.

He giggled as his eyes landed on his parents, his mom was crying into his dad's chest, and he even had a few tears streaming down his cheeks. He spun back around and faced the student section. He observed his friends' reactions, and started crying harder.

Katsuki, Eijirou, Ashido, Shoto, and Ochako were in the front row. Katsuki, who never cried, was full on sobbing while being held by a crying Eijirou. Ashido and Shoto were hugging and jumping around with joy, while Ochako was leaning on the glass with tears falling down.

Izuku sighed, and began his bows. As he faced each side of the stadium, that part would progressively get louder. As he finished his bows, his final one was directed towards the students. He blew two kisses, one for each of his boyfriends, and did his final bow.

Since it was the final performance of the night, they allowed Izuku to take a little longer on the ice compared to prior years. He started in front of the family section, hugged his mom and dad, skated to the two sections filled with fans and others, and then the students.

He sped right to Katsuki and Eijirou, and hugged them both as tight as he could manage. His hands sat in the boys' hair, one in Eijirou's red locks and the other in Katsuki's blonde spikes. He kissed their foreheads and felt Katsuki's grip tighten on his wrist.

"You better not stop doing this shit, you dumbass nerd." Izuku giggled before kissing Katsuki.

"Why would I? Who knows, I may dedicate a performance just to you!" Eijirou and Izuku let out watery laughs, and Katsuki just scoffed.

"You fucking better. For both Ei and I, okay?" Izuku giggled again.

"Of course I will!!"

"Oo! Oo!! Me too, Mido!!" Mina joined the hug fest, along with Shoto and Ochako. Izuku nodded in comprehension.

"Of course I will."
