My Old Hero

"Kacchan?" 

There was a loud sigh on the other end of the line. 

"Kacchan? Is everything okay?" Izumi asked. 

"They found out where I live." Izumi froze. 

"T-They did?" 

"Yeah, so now I can't even go home." Katsuki said. 

Izumi could tell this had worn him out just by hearing how tired his voice was. 

"So where will you be staying for right now?" 

"I'll find somewhere. I might have to sleep at my agency tonight." Katsuki said. Izumi knew this was bad if Katsuki couldn't even go home, and it wasn't actual villains, but society itself. 

"This is my fault, if only I didn't have that interview then-" 

"Stop putting it all on you, Deku." Izumi froze.

"This isn't something you can fix by yourself, and it's not a big deal. I'll be fine, Deku." Katsuki said. 

"Are you sure?" 

"Yes, so go find a place for you to stay at and don't worry about me." Katsuki said. 

"Okay..." Izumi muttered. Katsuki sighed again. 

"We'll figure something out, it's not like we haven't hidden before." Katsuki said. 

"Yes, that's true..." 

"I'll be busy on patrol mostly now, so I'll try calling you later." Katsuki said. 

"Okay..." 

"Izuku." 

"Y-Yes, Kacchan?" 

"I love you." Izumi blushed. 

"I-I love you too, Kacchan..." Izumi said slowly, watching Emra's reaction. Emra was a bit surprised, but not shocked about it.

Izumi ended the call with Katsuki and sighed. 

"Seems things must be bad on his end?" Emra asked. 

"He said reporters found out where he lives, so now he can't go home. He's going to be doing patrol most of the time now, which means we won't be able to see each other that much right now." Izumi said. 

"I see, I'm sure it's much harder for him because he is the Number 1 hero. He can't really hide from society, can he?" Emra said. 

"Not really. Hah- how did it turn out this way?" Izumi said.

"Stop thinking about the negative and think about the positive. You're lucky they haven't hurt you or harmed you in any way." Emra said. 

"Yeah, but what happened earlier today wasn't a fluke." Izumi said. 

"That might be true, but you're lucky we got here in time to stop them. They were trespassing on your work, so they all could've caused a lawsuit if it got any worse." Emra said. 

Emra noticed how distressed Izumi looked, no matter what she said, it wouldn't get through Izumi's head. 

"Hah- let's just get you to Aunt Inko's for now and think about what to do later." Emra said, Izumi nodded.

"Izuku, I heard something terrible happened at your workplace and got really worried, You're not hurt are you?" Inko asked, panicking to protect her daughter. 

"I'm fine mom, Emra came just in time to stop everything from getting worse." Izumi said. 

"Oh look at you, why don't you go and take a shower, you'll feel a lot better." Inko said, Izumi nodded and went to the bathroom.
