From Despair to Delight (BakuDeku)-(KiriDeku)

---------- 23 ----------

The next morning Izuku woke as always to the sounds of birds chirping, and the sun peaking through his window. He was super excited, today he got to have dinner with his brother and bestfriend in the whole world. His bruises were almost completely gone, his lip, and cheek had healed without any left over mark, and he didn't have to cake on the makeup to cover his eye. The burn on his arm however was still healing and was going to scar badly, but he could deal with it. Izuku got out of bed and began his morning routine, he washed and scrubbed his face, brushed his teeth and hair though it never helped. He got dressed in pastel green fluffy socks, a plain green t-shirt, and pale denim overall shorts, then went down to make breakfast. 

When he got into the kitchen he smelled coffee and saw Eijiro sitting at the counter. Eijiro is dressed in black socks, black ripped jeans, a red muscle shirt, with a red and black flannel tied around his waist, and a red bandana around his head. 

"Oh, good morning. What's got you up so early?" Izuku asked. "Have a meeting with our manager at ten, plus I wanted to help make breakfast for a change." Eijiro replied. "Okay, It will be nice to have company. I was going to make quiche for breakfast today." Izuku told the red head. "Quiche?" Eijiro questioned having never heard of it. Izuku chuckled "A quiche is a French tart consisting of a pastry crust filled with savory custard and pieces of cheese, meat, seafood or vegetables. But I am going to make the crust out of hashbrowns then fill it with ham, sausage, bacon, egg and cheddar cheese." he said. "Sounds amazing, what can I do to help?" Eijiro asked. While they were speaking, Izuku gathered ingredients and cooking utensils. "Here, start by putting the bacon on the baking sheet," Izuku said, handing the items to the other male. "On it boss" replied Eijiro as he collected the items. Izuku preheated the oven to cook the bacon, then began to crack eggs into a large bowl. The two finished almost simultaneously. Izuku put the bacon in the oven and set the timer. There was a pan already on the stove. "Can you brown up the sausage for me while I get the crusts going?" Izuku asked. "Sure thing, just check on me every so often." Eijiro replied, stepping in front of the stove. Some time later and everything was prepped and ready to go. Izuku had pulled the bacon when the timer went off. It was now crumbled to a bowel. Ham was cut into small bits and in a bowel alongside the sausage that Eijiro had cooked up. The hash brown crust was read. Izuku filled the pans with the crusts half way with the beaten eggs, then half in one and half in the other of all the meat. The pans were then placed carefully in the oven and it was closed up tight, a timer set.

Eijiro sat at the kitchen counter just watching as Izuku hummed and danced around while he set the table. He bobbed his head, swung his arms, and swayed his hips, all the while placing cups, plates, and silverware at the table for the five people who pretty much lived in the house that Eijiro owned. Eijiro just smiled loving the scene before him. The other eventually woke and came down, joining Eijiro at the counter watching the green haired male. They all thought he was adorable. Mina nudged the redhead with her elbow before leaning in and whispering in his ear. "You might want to deal with your problem before someone else notices," She said. "What are you...." Eijiro went to say when he noticed the stiffness in his pants. Shit he thought then quickly got up and left the room.

Once Izuku was finished setting the table he noticed the group watching him. He blushed "O..oh morning guys. Eiji and I made quiche for breakfast. I hope you like it." Izuku said, that was when he noticed that Eijiro was absent from the group. "Well I don't know what quiche is but I bet it's delish just like everything you cook for us Izuku," Kyoka said. Denki nodded his head in agreement. Mina, and Kyoka took their seats at the table, while Denki helped Izuku bring the food and drinks to the table. Eijiro had returned just a few moments later, having taken care of his problem. The group ate breakfast with some small conversation, and many compliments to Izuku on the food just like every time he cooked. Once they were all full Mina began taking care of the leftover food, and Denki and Kyoka offered to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen.

Izuku and Eijiro went to the living room and turned on the tv. Izuku cuddled up as close as he could to Eijiro, who just smiled down at the man in his arms. He didn't have to leave for an hour so he was perfectly content with what he was doing. When the others finished they joined the two men in the living room. "So I know Eijiro has got something going on today, how bout the rest of you?" Izuku asked the group. "I'm spending the afternoon with my girlfriend." Mina said. "Aww Meme, I want to meet your girlfriend. You talk about her a lot. Why don't you bring her home for dinner tonight, I'll make something special." Izuku said all excited. "Ok but don't you have dinner with Todoroki tonight?" Mina asked. "Yeah but I can make it earlier and then come back and cook. I know just what to make too." Izuku said. "Alright if you insist." Mina said, also excitedly none of her friends had met her girl yet they had only been dating a couple months. "YAY" Izuku shouted.

"It's been like three weeks, Denki and I need to go and check on our apartment," Kyoka said. "You too should just sell that place and move in here permanently like Mina." Eijiro said. This confused everyone. "What do you mean Kiribro?" Denki asked. "Mina actually lives here. She pays me rent, and has her own set of keys. That's why when she asked if she could paint her room pink I said yes." Eijiro told his other two friends. "Really we didn't know that. How long has she been living here?" Kyoka asked. "Lets see, yeah it's been two years now right!" Eijiro said. "Yeah that's about right," Mina replied. The couple looked at each other and had a quick whispered conversation before looking back at their redheaded friend. "That would be so great," They both said. With that it was settled Denki and Kyoka would be selling their apartment and officially moving in with Kirishima and Mina.

Eijiro then turned his attention to the little green bean in his arms. "What about you? I know you said you just needed to stay for a week or two until you got better and found a place, but I have eight rooms. You seem to have gotten comfortable in the room you're staying in and as far as I'm concerned you already pay rent by cooking for us all the time." Eijiro said to the small man he was cuddled up with. "I really do like it here. And it would be nice to not be alone all the time like it would be if I got a place of my own. But are you sure?" Izuku asked. "Yes, The others and I enjoy having you here. We also really like your cooking." Eijiro said with a smile. I also don't know what I would do if you left, he silently thought to himself. "O...Okay then. I would really love to live here with you and the riots!" Izuku exclaimed, he leaned up and kissed Eijiro on the cheek. Eijiro's eyes were wide as saucers, his hand went to his cheek. Izuku blushed so hard at what he had done that with his green hair, red face, and freckles he looked like a strawberry. "YEAH!" Mina shouted. "This will be awesome," Denki replied. "I believe this will be fun," Kyoka replied.

Suddenly an alarm sounded, Eijiro looked at his phone. "Sorry guys, I have to go," Eijiro said. He stood smirking and kissed the top of Izuku's head then walked off and out the door. Izuku was again a strawberry. The other three just smiled at him before getting up and heading to their rooms, leaving a very flustered izuku alone in the living room.

It took about five whole minutes before Izuku could function properly again. He went to his room and made a quick call to his brother, changing the time for their dinner get together. He was now going to be there at four and dinner would be at five. After that he began going through his closet to find what he wanted to wear that night.
