My Old Hero

143: This is Love

Izumi and the rest of the bridesmaids went to change their dresses, Izumi stood in front of the mirror and realized the third dress that Emra bought her back then was a bit more revealing than she thought. 

"C'mon Izumi, I'm sure we're missing all the fun!" Saeko said. 

"Right..." 

'I'm so used to sleeves, that I didn't realize this was just off the shoulder and didn't have sleeves. Will Kacchan like it?' Izumi thought and constantly got what Katsuki said to her when she was trapped as a cat. 

"You are beautiful to me no matter what shape you are, and I will always love you." 

'If Kacchan thinks of me that way... then maybe I can change...' Izumi thought and changed into the dress.

Izumi got dressed and opened the door and was surprised to see Katsuki leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, he was waiting for her. 

"K-Kacchan-" 

"What took you so long, Deku?" Katsuki said. 

"Ah- did I take a really long time? I'm sorry, I just... wasn't sure if this dress was fine to wear..." Izumi muttered. Katsuki tilted his head, he couldn't see all of her since she seemed like she was hiding behind the door. 

"Well I don't know if you keep hiding like that." Katsuki said, as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him. She stopped hiding behind the door and quickly placed her hand on his chest.

Katsuki went wide-eyed, as Izumi was wearing an A-line, sweetheart neckline that was off the shoulder, dark green, silk dress with a large slit that went up to her right thigh. She had her hair in a high bun, and she seemed pretty nervous to look at him. 

"I-Is this okay, Kacchan?" Izumi asked like a child asking their parents if it was okay to have a cookie! Katsuki couldn't help but stare at her exposed shoulders, because reasons. 

He grit his teeth, took off his coat and wrapped it over her shoulders. 

"K-Kacchan?" 

"Only I can see this, stupid. So don't take this off, got it?" Izumi nervously nodded. His giant coat made her feel warm right away, and she gave him a soft smile. 

"Okay, Kacchan." she said, he blushed again. She grabbed his hand and felt much better after seeing Katsuki. 

"We should get to where everyone else is! I saw so many heroes that I want to meet!" Izumi said and pulled him to follow. He immediately groaned at the thought. 

'Damnit, I just went some time alone with Deku.' Katsuki thought.

Izumi's eyes lit up after seeing all the guests in the large hall, as the thought of meeting all these new but familiar faces was exciting to her. 

"There you are, Izumi!" Saeko yelled, walking up to them. 

"Saeko." 

"Emra told me how you're a big fan of heroes, and so I'm sure you want to meet everyone here, right?" Saeko asked. 

"Ah- of course I do!" Izumi hyped. 

"Great, then come with me and you can meet some that used to work with Emra!" Saeko said.

Izumi was about to go, but she remembered she was holding Katsuki's hand. She turned her head and looked up at him and started to pout. 

"Is it okay if I meet some new people?" Izumi pouted.
