The Talk

Natsuo wished he pushed this onto their mother. Or Fuyumi, who was a teacher. But really, it was probably for the best that he was the one to talk to Shouto about this. He was the most qualified as he was 1) another guy 2) also attracted to other men, and 3) going to be a medical professional.

They were ninety percent sure the youngest of the Todoroki siblings was gay. Based mostly on the fact the friends he talked about most were Yoyorouzu and they knew nothing was happening there, Bakugou-kun, and Midoriya-kun. And when Shouto talked about either of the latter two, particularly Midoriya, there was a gleam in his little brother's eye tha he recognized when Fuyumi talked about her first crushes. And probably when he talked about his.

As a bisexual man, Natsuo could see the appeal to either of them, though Bakugou-kun made him think of their father sometimes, which worried him a little, but there was nothing he could do to stop Shouto's heart from wanting what it wanted.

So, here he was, sitting at the kitchen table. Mom and Fuyumi out having a girls' day. With a bag of supplies to help give Shouto 'The Talk.' Fuyumi had gotten it from their grandmother, and Natsuo had gotten it from their grandfather (though he had needed a second one when he got his first boyfriend, that had been given by said boyfriend's mother, and the most embarassing moment in Natsuo's life). And now he was going to give it to Shouto. This was good practice, he reminded himself. He'd probably have to give it to kids who's parents were uncomfortable with giving it. He'd have to give to his own children if he had any.

He heard the door open and looked up to see his little brother walking into the house. "Shouto," he said, offering a smile he hoped wasn't too nervous, and waved him to sit down. "Mom and Fuyumi are out, so I figured we could talk."
