From Despair to Delight (BakuDeku)-(KiriDeku)

---------- 19 ----------

Izuku had made it home safely after leaving the restaurant. The riots were in the basement practicing as it was that time so he had to be alone for a while. He changed out of his nice clothes and into some pink fluffy pajama shorts with a matching cropped tank top. 

As soon as the group returned to the main floor of the house they could tell Izuku had had a bad day. He was seated on the couch wrapped in a blanket, his legs pulled up to his chest, his eyes were red and puffy from crying. The four went straight towards him when they saw him. In the rush to get to him Denki tripped over his own feet and ended up landing with his face between Izukus legs. "Damn, Izubro if you were a girl I'd be in heaven." Denki said with a chuckle at the end. Izuku giggled. "Yeah you'd be in heaven for thirty second before both Koko and I slapped the shit out of you." Izuku replied with a lilt of laughter in his voice. "Exactly, of course then I could probably write one hell of a break up song" Kyoka said as she glared at her boyfriend. "I bet it would be super awesome" Izuku said in reply to the music obsessed girl. "Yeah right as if I'd let your dumbass anywhere near my precious bean," Mina said as she shoved Denki away from Izuku. The pink haired girl sat down in front of the little greenette and pulled him down to her lap. She instantly began comforting him by cording her fingers through his curly locks. If Izuku had been a cat he would have purred. Eijiro just watched, shaking his head. Mina allowed her hand to be replaced by Eijiro's for a couple strokes, then the red head shifted Izuku and sat so that the small man's legs were over his lap and his head was still in Mina's. Izuku was completely soothed by the four band members. While Mina, and Eijiro comforted him, Denki and Kyoka were arguing about his idiocy. To Izuku it was the perfect ending to the crappy morning that he had. Little did he know the man he considered his brother was at that moment on a plain headed home thanks to his friends and there big mouths.

Later that evening, Izuku with the help of Denki made a quick dinner of spaghetti with a side salad. After dinner the riots and Izuku watched a movie. Izuku eventually falls asleep in Eijiro's arms. The redhead couldn't help but stare. Denki and Kyoka said their goodnights and headed to bed, while Mina and Eijiro had a quiet conversation. Though the green eyed man had only been in his home for a few days, he had already fallen back in love with him. Truth be told he had never stopped loving Izuku, he had just hidden it. Mina stared at the two men. "You're falling in love with him again, aren't you?" She asked her best friend. Eijiro looked up from the male in his arms to the woman. "Not like it's hard. He's just so beautiful, and perfect. Truth, I don't think I ever stopped" came his soft reply as he hugged Izu closer. Though there was sadness in his eyes. "Then why do you look so sad?" Mina asked with concern. "It's just... Look what Bakugo did to him." Eijiro says with a sigh as he holds out Izuku's burnt arm. "If I had... I don't know, fought harder for him in high school. Told him how I felt sooner. Exposed Katsuki when I caught him with Cami at their wedding reception, maybe he wouldn't have had to go through all of this." Eijiro said as tears began to fill his eyes. "I just feel like if I had said or done something sooner this might not have happened. Kinda like it's my fault and I don't know if I could ever deserve the feelings I have for him." Eijiro said as his tears began to fall. Izuku moaned painfully and readjusted in his arms. He was now clinging to Eijiro like a koala, with his head buried in Eijiro's neck. "Not your fault, all his" Izuku whispered quietly into his ear, startling the red head. Izuku had been awake since Mina asked about him being sad. "You were trying to be a good friend to both of us. That's my favorite thing about you Ei. Your compassion, even when we hurt you, you still tried to make sure we were both happy" Izuku said softly. Both boys were now crying and hugging each other tightly. Mina just smiled and got up. "Goodnight you two" She said before kissing both men on the forehead and leaving the room.

"So um Izz?" Eijiro said. "Mhmm" izuku replied. "How long were you awake?" Eijiro asked as he rubbed circles on Izukus back with his free hand. "Since Meme asks why you were sad." Izuku sleepy replied. "O...okay" Eijiro sighed. Izuku had fallen back to sleep, which caused Eijiro to chuckle. The two continued to cuddle there on the couch for about another hour before Eijiro carried Izuku to his room and put him to bed. He then kissed the man on his lips ever so softly and went to bed himself.

Back with Shoto and Hitoshi. The two men had finished their dinner and went straight to Shoto home office. There was much work to be done for the next day. They spent the next four hours making calls and setting things up for tomorrow, and for Hitoshi to make the move back to there home town and in with Shoto. Shoto had called his legal department, his secretary, and human resources. He had given each of them instructions that they would spend the rest of the night caring out. Hitoshi had called his apartment manager, his current employer, and talked with the human resources department of Todoroki's company. He now had a new job as head of the tech department at Endeavor talent agency, and had a moving company set up to pack and ship all his belongings to Shoto's home. It was almost midnight when the two had finished. The two men went to bed with a bit of anticipation in their minds.

Katsuki was passed out drunk on the floor of the living room in the condo when his phone started ringing. He groaned not even opening his eyes to see who was calling. "WHO THE FUCK IS THIS AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?" he screamed into the phone. "No need to be so rude Mr. Bakugo." a woman's voice came through the phone. Katsuki recognized the voice of Todoroki's secretary. Fucking great he thought "Oh sorry Hagakure, I didn't check who it was before I answered." Katsuki said as he sat up rubbing his head. "Umhum." she said, rolling her eyes even though he couldn't see her. "Mr. Todoroki has requested a meeting with you tomorrow morning at ten am." she stated flatly. She did not like Katsuki Bakugo, she thought he was arrogant, rude, and just mean sometimes. She didn't understand how he could be married to the office angel Izuku Midoriya. "Okay, do you know what it's about?" Katsuki asked. "All he said was something about a contract and for you to be here by ten am sharp. I would not be late if I were you." The woman said through the phone. "Tch. Whatever I'll be there" He said then hung up before she could say more. "He is such a asswhole" Toru said to herself before getting ready to head home.
