My Old Hero

174: Lifestyle

It was the next morning, and Izumi felt very sore from the previous night. 

She opened her eyes and saw Katsuki was laying right next to her, his arm reaching out and over her chest. She looked at him and noticed all the hickey's he had on his neck and around his collarbone, she smiled. 

'Kacchan's happy, and I'm happy too. I guess that means we'll be doing hero stuff together when we get the chance. I'm still not prepared for everyone to know about it yet, but... at least Kacchan's okay with it.' Izumi thought.

She placed her hand over his arm that was resting on her chest and watched as his face seemed so relaxed and tired. 

'He didn't have to go so rough last night though, but at least he was really sweet doing it.' Izumi thought and giggled to herself. 

"Oi-" 

Izumi opened her eyes and looked up to see Katsuki staring at him. 

"G-Good morning, Kacchan." she said, covering half her face with the covers. 

He moved his body and was laying on his chest and moved his arm and touched her cheek. 

"Why're you awake already, go back to sleep." he said, caressing her cheek. 

"Sorry if I woke you, Kacchan. I'm already wide awake, and... a little sore..." Izumi mumbled.

"If you're sore, then we're not doing anything today. So-" He pulled her towards him and got her into a hug. 

"Go back to sleep." Katsuki said, trying to go back to sleep.

Izumi could feel how warm his body was, and she noticed just how small she was in his hug. 

She looked around her room and glanced to see Katsuki's hero suit was laying on the floor. 

'He must've come here after he got rid of the villain yesterday. He seems tired after everything yesterday too, but it's fine.' she thought. 

She turned her head to see her phone laying on the nightstand and tried to reach it. Luckily she was in arms length to grab it and looked at the screen from a far.

The second she turned on her phone, she saw Merry Christmas over and over. 

'Oh yeah, I forgot it was Christmas today.' Izumi thought.

She put her phone down and turned her head back and looked up at Katsuki, as he looked like she was trying to sleep. 

"Hey Kacchan~" 

"Erm, what?" he said, peaking his eyes open. Izumi smiled so sweetly and said; "Merry Christmas, Kacchan." 

He froze, and then tightened his hug and she felt like she was getting squished.

"Kyaa- Kacchan! You're crushing me!" she yelled, trying to push him. She'd noticed that he loosened his hug and she looked up at his face. 

"Is something wrong, Kacchan?" she asked. 

"Arg- now I gotta show you." Katsuki muttered. 

"Show me? Show me what, Kacchan?" she asked.

Katsuki let go of her in their hug and sat up from the bed, and soon rubbed his hair as his clearly muscular figure was in full sight for Izumi. 

Izumi covered her eyes and tried to stay calm. 

"Hah- get dressed." Katsuki said, getting out of bed. 

"Huh? Get dressed? Are we going somewhere?" Izumi asked.
