My Old Hero

37: Privacy

'Success.'

They left the facility and went to the airport and took the first flight back to the main island. 

Katsuki had to try and act calm and collected, because he knew that if another hero saw them walking together, they would automatically question their relationship. 

They arrived at his agency and went straight into Katsuki's office. 

"Let me guess, you didn't do anymore paperwork this morning?" Izumi asked. 

"N-No... I started... but couldn't concentrate." Katsuki said, rubbing his neck. 

"Well, I'm sure we can get this done in a few hours no problem." Izumi said, as she grabbed the first stack and went to work.

Just before Katsuki was about to sit down at his desk, there was a loud knock on the door. 

'Damnit, who's bothering me?!?' he thought. 

"What?" 

"Dynamite, did you forget you have patrol today?" It was Best Jeanist. 

'Shit, are you fucking kidding me?!?!' Katsuki yelled in his head. 

Best Jeanist looked and saw Izumi sitting on the couch. "Miss Midoriya, I didn't know you were here." 

"H-Hello, Best Jeanist! I'm just here helping Mr. Dynamite on his paperwork, d-don't mind me." Izumi said. 

"I see, well then Dynamite, you'd better remember the next time you're on patrol." Best Jeanist said and shut the door.

'Of all fucking days, it had to be today that I have patrol and can't spend time with Deku! What's next?' Katsuki thought. 

"Sorry for bringing you all the way out here for me to end up leaving." Katsuki said with a sigh. 

"I-It's alright, Mr. Dynamite. I can manage doing all of this on my own!" Izumi said. 

"On your own, you really think you can handle filing all of this?" 

"Absolutely, I'm sure I will finish before you're done with your patrol." Izumi said. 

"Before I'm done with my patrol, huh? Then let's make a bet!" Katsuki said with a smirk.

"A bet? What for?" 

"If you say you can finish all of this paperwork before I'm done with my patrol, then dinner's on me tonight! But if you can't, then you have to pay for dinner!" Katsuki said. 

'D-Dinner, again!?! As much as I don't want to do this bet, I want to see Kacchan's face when I prove him wrong.' Izumi thought. 

"Fine, I agree to a little challenge. You're going to regret this if I win." Izumi said, holding out her hand. 

"Tch- I don't lose to the same person 3 times!" Katsuki said, grabbing her hand to shake it. 

"Then you make sure as the Number 1 hero to do your job first and prove why you're the Number 1 hero on patrol today." Izumi said. Katsuki could feel his heart racing, this bet was taken way too seriously.

Katsuki had left to go on patrol and Izumi was left in a large office and saw the huge stacks of papers on the desk. 

'Hah- let's hope I can manage doing this on my own. My body's still a bit tired from the training, but I can push through it. Let's get to work!' Izumi thought and sat down and started reading. 

Just as she was in the middle of reading though, she felt a bit of pain coming from her joints. 

'Ah- it's going to rain tonight, better remember to take my medicine before it gets any worse.' Izumi thought, setting a reminder on her phone.
