The Hero Beyond the Gears of Time (Izuku x Kendo)

Ch 33: The Mall

I really suck with updates... don't I? But for real, I'm ready to start updating regularly again. I'm trying to get all that motivation back when I started writing this story, and I'm actually getting into it. I don't know how consistent I'm going to be, but I hope I'll be able to start updating normally again; This, and my other two stories.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this pretty lengthy chapter, because there will be a lot of dialogue and drama, so a bit of a break from action before we really get into the craziness of the next few chapters (might wanna read last chapter just to remember where the story left off).

Without further ado, here we go:

Nobody's POV:

2 PM

"Money?"

"Check."

"Ride?"

Izuku opened the Uber app, making sure he booked a ride. "Check."

"Anything else?

"Uhhhh... no, I think that's all we need."

Izuku was flipping through his wallet, making sure he had enough money to potentially cover everything they would buy today.

Most of the money in his pocket came from a job he had while in his last year of middle school at a nearby cafe (believe it or not, they were hiring middle schoolers), and he had never spent a cent of it for himself, only using it to help his parents out with the house and such. He had kept a lot of it tucked away in his savings, although he wouldn't necessarily need it to pay for school since he was going to UA.

Now was as perfect of a time to spend some of it (not all of it of course, always gotta expect the unexpected when it comes to life), especially now that he had a girlfriend to spoil. Of course, spoiling her would be a difficult task to do, mostly because Itsuka was one of the most humble and generous people in the world outside of himself, so she would refuse anything he wanted to buy her (unless he really insisted).

"So are we all set?" Izuku asked her, watching her ginger hair sway around while she paced around her dorm room.

"Where is my... hair clip?" She muttered, skimming through the things on her dresser, before walking into her small bathroom.

"Why don't you go like that?" Izuku asked her curiously, watching her eyes and mouth open wide, almost as if she was offended by that question.

"Because that's my signature look! No one has ever seen me with my hair down... outside of you and Yaomomo. Even at the sleep over our class had, I made sure to put my hair clips in before leaving our room."

'Talk about commitment...' Izuku thought to himself, a bead of sweat dripping down his forehead while he saw the latter begin to turn the bathroom upside down. "Maybe it's time for a new look? You look beautiful either way."

"You're not going to flatter me into doing it. Although I do appreciate the compliment." She beamed, trying to suppress her smile as her eyes darted around the sink cabinet. She sighed in frustration slamming the cabinets shut, and walking into the bedroom again. Izuku watched as he threw herself onto the bed, laying there while running her fingers through her hair. "I think I lost them."

Izuku chuckled to himself, shaking his head. "Looks like hair down it is!"

"It's not funny! Go buy me some before we leave!" She demanded, a pout flashing across her face. Everyone would be caught off guard if she went out into public like that, and probably view her in a way that she did not want to be viewed in. Izuku practically drooled over her – well he always does when they have their alone time and she's able to unwind and let her hair fall... so you can only imagine the other guys if she goes out into public with her hair down... it'll probably cause a storm.
