    Summary

    "After that disaster, the HPSC press director gave Shouto a call, kindly explaining how he would not be invited this year. It was a new era, an era of national rebuilding, of forming new bonds between society and its celebrity, baby-faced heroes. The Symbols of Victory and Hope, the Twin Stars of Japan, who did not share blood with villains and disgraced former heroes. It was not personal, Shouto was a great hero as long as he kept his head down and did his job in the background. But Japan had no need for a “Todoroki” to be in the spotlight."

    Or

    Shouto is not invited to the yearly hero gala.

    Where Shoto is not invited due to the Todoroki scandal with Endeavor and Touya or Dabi. Apparently Shoto was invited to the Hero Gala last year and did a certain Hairstyle that showed his scar and it was controversial and mentioned how Shoto was trying to gain pity points and thus Shoto wasn't invited this year since people still aren't doing well with the whole Todoroki event and war. Izuku ask if Shoto is okay and Shoto says he's fine and Bakugou just looks at Shoto and they leave while Shoto goes on patrol. Shoto helps a girl with a quirk and says her quirk is amazing when a man says her quirk is dangerous and needs to be locked up since it had burnt him but Shoto just gives him burn cream and tells the girl her quirk is good and tells the girl's mother to encourage her. Shoto continues on patrol and hears family arguing inside the house and knows he can't go in there and punch abuser since he did that last time and got in trouble but the woman comes outside with her child and Shoto takes her to a safe house or a shelter for domestic abuse that Rei apparently made for charity. Shoto gets boba and likes the pictures of his friends at the Gala and Izuku ask if he's okay via text and Shoto says yes and boba girl ask why Shoto isn't at the gala and says her and her friends enjoyed his appearance in the last gala and the hair. Shoto saves a lady from a robbery and she makes him sign her grandchildren's autograph. Shoto goes to the hospital to visit Dabi or Touya and gives him tangerines and they watch tv together with the therapy cat and Shoto is happy that he is able to do this with Dabi but then thinks that their family would have been happy if Shoto wasn't born which makes him sad but the therapy cat must have noticed Shoto's stress since it starts to purr and comfort him which Dabi notices and he looks at Shoto, and just takes his tangerine so he must have been worried but he doesn't say anything about it. Shoto goes home to the apartment and there's a video trending on his Twitter with Bakugou and Izuku on stage since they're considered like the important hero duo and the interviewer ask about their clothes and Izuku mentions that both their hairs are like Shoto's hair from the last gala and hint that Shoto wasn't invited while Bakugou bluntly says that Shoto wasn't invited and how people are treating him is not fair and the audience claps at this. Shoto signs and turns off his phone and thinks it's not good that Bakugou and Izuku made a scene about him not appearing in the Gala but is not surprised either. Shoto thinks about how when they were back in UA, Bakugou and Izuku had asked him if he wanted to open up an agency with them and even mentioned they will even get a cat and soba for Shoto to join them and Shoto was just surprised that they wanted him. Shoto had accepted but now thinks that maybe he shouldn't have accepted back then since he thinks he's hurting Bakugou and Izuku's hero status since Shoto thinks he has too much bad past that will hurt them. Shoto lays on his couch when there's knocking on the balcony window and just says it's open before Bakugou and Izuku come in and Bakugou says Shoto shouldn't be so lazy since they could have been villains trying to kidnap him before nudging Shoto with his knee and foot since they brought food from the Gala for Shoto. Izuku goes to eat the ice cream that Shoto always keeps stocked up for him. They're on the floor eating and Shoto stares at their hair which makes both Izuku and Bakugou tense before he says he thinks their hair looks stupid and they both know that Shoto has seen the video. Shoto says they should have been quiet about him not being invited to not cause a scene and says he doesn't need them to stand up for him. Bakugou says that Shoto can stand up for himself but he won't and says Shoto never ask for things or demands things for himself and says that if Shoto doesn't then he and Izuku will do it for him. Shoto thinks how Bakugou doesn't know it feels to be in a world where he's a burden. They all go quiet and Shoto's throat is tight and his eyes are watery but he doesn't cry while Bakugou aggressively eats his food and Izuku licks the ice cream with a wobbly smile, trying to not cry as well. They just spend time talking about their day and Shoto feels happy.
