The Dragon & The Kitsune.

Chapter 55 - Izuku.

It was mid-afternoon of the third day into the internships, and Izuku was in Creator's lab, packaging up the specially modified mask order for Daemon, over in Germany. He'd finished it yesterday and it was a thing of beauty! All classic lines, smooth surfaces, fine detailing, pristine workmanship etc. One of his best works so far, and yes, he'd taken photos etc of it too to store away in the abundance of work albums he had. Sealing up the box with thick masking tape and then taping on the delivery address, and stamping on Creator's logo, he carried it out to where Dabi was. The man was on his lunch break, watching a video on his phone while happily eating his lunch. The door opened and in came Hawks, being much happier since being released from the grip of the Hero Commission.

"Hey boss man." Hawks grinned at him, causing Dabi to spin quickly.
"Where the bloody hell did you just come from? I thought you were working." The man gasped.
"I literally just walked out the lab. I just wanted to ask you to post this for me later, as I'm heading over to Hosu in a few minutes." Izuku remarked before putting the box down at Dabi's feet. He was already in his full hero gear, so it saved changing. He was doing a night shift in Hosu, as Aizawa had requested him for help as they'd been given a tip that the Hero Killer, Stain was going to be there, and they'd need all hands-on deck. Izuku was glad that Eiji wasn't working from there, as he was over at Gran Torino's getting more training on OFA considering the retired jet pro had been the one to personally train All might when he'd first been given the quirk.

They'd come up with the excuse of why he now had a new quirk, saying he'd been hit during the middle of last week with a syringe of an unknown substance after being ambushed by some unknown lowly villains looking for an 'easy' target when he'd been out with Izuku after school getting some things to surprise his family with. They'd had two days off from school, 'being in hospital getting tests', when in fact, they were secretly holed up at TG (after also telling Eiji's mums so they didn't panic and to keep it a secret, not the whole reason but he'd thought of something to calm them down), training his quirks and now the red head could use OFA at twenty percent with zero drawback and no broken bones. Thank god Izuku had a healing ability, that's for sure! Mix that in with Eiji's hardening ability, and his beautiful love was a formidable opponent already.

He couldn't wait to see what he'd be like when he reached the full potential. Even All Might and Nezu (who had been informed that Eiji was now All might's successor) had been highly surprised when they'd facetimed wondering how it was all going. They'd been amazed at seeing the spectacular red sparks and red lines that had appeared around and on Eiji's body, showing the quirk was activated as well as the control he already had. When they'd asked the red head how that had been managed so quickly, he'd informed them that it was thanks to Izuku and thinking differently in how to use it that they'd done that. Not only could he use OFA at twenty percent for upwards of a straight hour, but they'd managed to get Eiji's unbreakable mode advanced more too, resulting in now using it for half an hour instead of five minutes before it began to exhaust him. Izuku was just immensely proud of his sunshine boyfriend and his progress.

"Sure. What is it?"
"Thanks. It's a new mask for the German world hero, Daemon."
"Wait, you've finished it already? You only took that like, just over a week ago." Hawks wandered around the desk to drape lazily over Dabi's shoulders with a happy grumble as he buried his face into Dabi's neck. The two were now, finally, going out, considering Izuku had sat them down and spoken about it. They'd been extremely oblivious to the others' feelings, despite all the flirting and shit they did. Plus, they'd both confided in him privately about it, knowing he'd give honest advice. Crazy right, the teenage genius giving two adults advice. But then again, Izuku was anything but normal of course. Now that Hawks was free to do as he pleased, it'd be better for the hero to have a relationship without having to worry about what the commission would say. Contemplating the fact that the cannibal now worked for him, under as Creator, Izuku couldn't give a shit about what relationship he had, only if it didn't interfere with his job or that it was with a villain. He was a human, not a mindless robot. The man was allowed to show his love to someone, regardless of gender, without worrying about what his boss or anyone thought. Love was love after all.
