My Old Hero

21: His Place

Izumi couldn't believe it, as she stood in front of the large and tall building. 

'Kacchan... lives here?' Izumi thought. 

"Hurry up, or I'm leaving you behind." Katsuki said, entering the building, as he carried the large dog carrier. 

Izumi quickly picked up the pace and followed Katsuki into the elevator. There was a long silence while in the elevator, it felt like both of them were suffocating. Finally, the elevator came to a stop and opened, and Katsuki started leading the way. 

'I knew he would live somewhere nice since he's the Number 1 hero, but nothing like this place.' Izumi thought.

Katsuki stopped in front of the door and pulled his keys out of his pockets and unlocked the door. He opened the door and looked at Izumi. 

"Aren't you gonna come in?" Izumi reacted and immediately rushed through the door. 

She entered and was stunned at the place. It was a penthouse, it was clean, no... it was spotless! He closed the door behind him and put the dog carrier onto the floor. 

"The bathroom is to your left, laundry room is that way. And don't go to that room over there." Katsuki said, pointing at the farthest room from them. 

"Why that room?" 

"It's my office, just don't go in there." Katsuki said. 

"Okay..."

Katsuki sighed and then went straight to his bedroom, he shut the door and felt his heart racing. 

'Shit, I wasn't expecting to have her come to my place this soon! Keep it together, you piece of shit! Nothing will happen... It's just Deku... a very attractive and c-cute Deku... FUCK!' he yelled in his head.

Izumi looked around the penthouse and was amazed at how spacious it was. 

'This feels like a dream, this place is so cool!' Izumi thought. She saw an entire wall covered in merch and pictures of Katsuki from when he was a student at U.A.. 

'Wow, Kacchan's got stuff like this?' Izumi thought. 

She heard the sound of water starting, it was coming from Katsuki's bedroom. 

'He must be taking a shower, I can understand why. It's been a long morning for the both of us.' Izumi thought. 

She started to hear the sound of something rustling and she turned her head to notice the little dog in the carrier was waking up. 

'Oh yeah, I forgot that I'm only here to take care of Kacchan's aunt's dog. Guess I should let him out.' Izumi thought walking up to the carrier.

As soon as she was about to unzip the carrier, the dog started barking. 

'Woah- that scared me! Oh yeah, Kacchan didn't seem that thrilled to do this job. I wonder why he doesn't exactly like this dog.' Izumi thought. 

She got a full view of the little dog, it was a Pomeranian and it had ash blonde and spiky fur. 

"Huh? It looks like Kacchan, how cute." Izumi said. The face of the dog looked angry, kind of like a certain someone too. 

"Hey there, little buddy. I won't hurt you. I'm a friend of Kacchan's. Can I pet you?" Izumi said, holding out her hand.

The dog stared at her, and waited for the dog to do something, she was getting a bit scared as she wasn't sure what he would do. Suddenly, she felt soft fur hit the palm of her hand. The dog's expression was softened too and didn't look angry at her.
