Idol and The Hero

25: Back to Normal

Time Skip (A few weeks)

Izuku POV

'Finally!' I thought happily as I exited the building for my physical therapy for the last time. It had been a long month but I was finally done. In my opinion, I was fine a week ago but my doctor and therapist wanted me to stay for another week. Ugh. It was so boring. I want to go out on a date with Kaachan or have a concert just to dance on stage. Unfortunately, Kaachan was called in for a week-long mission a few days ago and we don't have a concert until Christmas. How sad.

I walked to the car that was waiting for me and hopped in. We then went to the dorms where I was going to have dinner and then to the apartment for the weekend. When I arrived I opened the door and got a massive surprise of green confetti blown in my face. I yelp in surprise before looking before me. I gasp and rushed forward, "Kaachan!" He caught me as I jumped for a hug.

"Congrats on finishing therapy!" Hiroshi and Susumu exclaimed. So that's what is going on. "Makoto hyung cooked all of your favorites as a surprise!" Daisuke said. My gaze was drawn from Kaachan to the spread of food extending across the dining table. "Wow," I said with stars in my eyes, "Thank you so much hyung! But Kaachan what are you doing here? I thought you were on a mission?" I tilted my head curiously. "Tired of me already, Deku?" He responded with snark causing me to sputter and stumble over my response to assure him that I wasn't. At that Kaachan started to laugh, "Your too easy sometimes Izu."

I pouted and grumbled under my breath. Kaachan calmed his laughing before responding, truthfully, "The mission ended early because we were able to track down and capture the extras when they messed up and practically handed themselves to us. Bunch of idiots for villains." He mumbled the last part under his breath but I heard it anyway. "Anyway," he continued, "I'm here to have dinner with you guys and then we get to have a boyfriend weekend." I jumped excitedly, "Yay!"

Dinner went smoothly and soon it was time to go home. We got in the car and I couldn't stop thinking excitedly about how Ryo mentioned during dinner that we would start practicing for our concert next week when I come back from my special weekend. I finally feel like things are going back to normal in my life and I couldn't be happier.

(The bakudeku weekend was pretty standard with them just hanging out and being a fluffy and cute couple so there is no need to write it out)

I woke up around 8 am and jumped out of bed. I was super excited because after my amazing weekend with Kaachan I'm finally back at the dorms and am allowed to participate in practice. I ran down the stairs and saw some of my hyungs in the kitchen, "Good morning!" I exclaimed. "Why are you so excited this morning?" Ryo asked while Kenta mumbled, "It's too early for this much excitement," as he rested his head on his arms. I shook my head at Kenta's comment but responded to Ryo, "I can finally join in on practice and then I can join in on the showcases next week!" Everyone laughed at my excitement.

The day went by way too fast in my opinion. I was having soo much fun dancing and singing like normal that the day flew by. I practiced till my legs were sore and I was out of breath. It was the normality that I missed having as part of my daily schedule. I was doing therapy for a month after my rescue and I was kidnapped for a while before that. So overall, anyone could tell I was antsy and missed practicing. Singing and dancing had always given me peace of mind.

Third POV

When the day of the showcase came and everyone was set to perform, Izuku had to be told multiple times to settle down so that his hair and makeup could get done. His hair had been stripped of color and was now blonde. Izuku loved it because he couldn't stop comparing it to Katsuki's hair and claiming that they were twining. When he had posted pictures of his hair, ARMY had gone crazy. Comments flooded in and the internet was going crazy.

"Hiroshi hyung!" Izuku exclaimed, "have you seen everyone's reaction to my hair? They are saying I look like an angel. Isn't that so sweet of them!" Hiroshi chuckled but nodded, "It does suit you. I didn't think you would ever go blond but I'm glad you did." Hiroshi walked over to where Izuku was getting his hair curled after getting his out hair and make-up touched up.

"So are you excited to be back?" Izuku looked up at his hyung and nodded before getting swapped in the head with a hairbrush. "Stop moving, please" the stylist insisted. Izuku pouted and moved his head back down to be at the angle the stylist needed. Makoto laughed from his seat across the room at the unfortunate circumstance Izuku had worked himself into. "That's what you get Izuku. You need to calm down if you don't want to get hit again." Izuku pouted even more at being teased by the older.

Once everyone was dressed and hooked up with microphones, they took their places on stage. Izuku was in the center and couldn't help but feel the rush of anticipation bubble in his stomach. He had waited long for this and now he was back in his element. He was on stage where he belonged and with the people, he saw as family. Katsuki couldn't come due to patrol but Izuku knew that he was supporting him from afar. Izuku released a breath and relished in all the love and support from fans, family, and friends. He may have gone through some hardships, but he really did have an amazing and plentiful life and he knew it would get even better in the future.
