My Old Hero

38: Get You Alone

Katsuki was eager to get back to his agency once the patrol was over. 

"Hey Bakugo, wanna join us for drinks?" Kirishima yelled. 

"Hard pass, I got other things to do!" Katsuki yelled and literally ran from the Bakusquad. 

"He sure has changed." Sero said. 

"It has to be because of Midoriya, who else?" Kaminari said.

Katsuki sprinted through the agency and straight to his office and busted the door open leading to his office; it was silent. 

'Where's Deku?' He thought and looked around the office. He looked everywhere, but she was nowhere to be seen. 

'Did she... leave?' Katsuki noticed all the stacks of paper were neatly organized and filed properly. He looked at his desk and saw a sticky note, it was Izumi's handwriting. 

Took care of all the paperwork and organized everything, so you don't need to worry about it! Had to get home, but I'll see you tomorrow at the museum. 

'So she left... and I won't see her until tomorrow....' 

"Damnit..." Katsuki said, crumbling the piece of paper. He rubbed his face and felt how tired he was after running all the way there. 

'I should've gone with them for drinks...' Katsuki thought and took off his suit and left his office.

Katsuki was walking home in his normal disguise and noticed how busy the streets were. 

'Did she want to win the bet that badly? Why does she keep running away from me? I just want to... hold her...' Katsuki thought. 

He remembered the night before and how tightly he held her hand walking her home. He wanted to do that again, but he wanted to hold her for much longer, much tighter.

Katsuki walked through the empty halls towards his own door and stopped in front of the door. 

'It's too empty in there, I hate coming home now.' Katsuki thought. He looked down and entered the 6 digit passcode and it unlocked for him to come in. 

'This fucking sucks, I just wanted to spend some alone time with Deku, but now I just wanna go to sleep.' Katsuki thought. But as he entered the penthouse, he stopped at the entrance, he smelled something. 

'What the- who's in here? Is it mom?' Katsuki thought, as he crept through the entrance and peaked his head out to look. 

Though he could only see their back, he recognized the dark green long hair. 

Is this a dream? 

He took a deep breath and walked out to see what was going on in his kitchen.

Izumi seemed like she was in her own little world as she was finishing up with making dinner, she never heard the door unlock and open. She turned her head to see the spiky ash blond hair and piercing red eyes. 

"Ah- Mr. Dynamite! Welcome home!" Izumi said happily, holding a large pot. 

'What the fuck, am I losing it?' Katsuki thought. 

"Oi- what're you doing here?" Katsuki said, his eyes were squinting to make sure this was real. 

"Can't you tell, I'm making dinner." Izumi said. 

'There's no way, Deku would never come here on her own, would she?' Katsuki was in deep thought.

Izumi noticed how deep in thought Katsuki was and decided to thump him on the forehead to face reality.
