Love Again?

Chapter 7

'Speaking on the telephone'

Author's POV

It's been 2 years since Izuku quit being a hero and opened up his own bar in a sketchy part of town.
He wanted to create a place for anyone to have a pleasant time.
Although his main objective was to meet more people and listen to their stories so that he could move on from his.

Izuku's POV

It was a normal day, I was making a cocktail for a customer when my phone rang.
'This is GZD, how may I help you?'
'Excuse me, I'd like to book the entire bar coming Friday, would that be possible?'
'Of course. Would you like to pre-order drinks and food too?'
'Yes please. I have sent the list to your bar's email.'
'Okay, I've received it. I will send you the total after 10 minutes. Thank you for your patronage.'
'Sure.'

I guess I have a busy Friday ahead.

Time skip to Friday~

Author's POV

After Izuku finished cleaning up the bar, he put up the 'Reserved for today' sign.
It was currently 7 o'clock, time for the guests to arrive.
As he checks the clock, he hears the door open. Though, he was shocked to see a familiar face, he smiled and greeted them.
"Welcome to GZD."

Izuku's POV

"Ah...Midoriya..."
I was startled to see Dabi at the door, I guess its Touya now.
"Touya-san. Welcome, please take a seat wherever you want."
"You run this place?"
"Haha..yeah. It just turned out like this."
"I guess you quit being a hero."
"Yeah. It wasnt for me."
We have a friendly talk and he returned to his work.

When we took a seat, Chika started bombarding me with questions.
"You know about me being an ex-villain right?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, hes friends with my little bro. We used to be on opposite sides. We're fine now tho."
"Oh ok."

We continued to talk about small things when Midoriya brought us our drinks.
"One strawberry cocktail and one whiskey on rocks." He looks at us and smiles, "Anything else?"  "No. Thank you"   "enjoy"

'He's lost a lot of weight.'
I think to myself.

"Midoriya."
"Yes?"
"Can I ask you something? If you don't mind?"
"Sure. Go ahead."
"Where's the angry pomeranian that's always stuck to you? It's been a long time since I checked the news after I got out of jail."
He looked at me nervously. 'Shit. Was this a bad topic?'
"O..oh.. um... Kacchan passed away 3 years ago." He tells me with a shaky voice. 'I am so screwed'
"I'm so sorry for asking! I didnt know."
"No no, it's fine really. Besides, it's already been 3 years."
"If you say so. I'm really sorry again."

He kept saying it was fine when the door opened and the rest of the Ex-LOV members except Shigaraki came in.

Izuku's POV

I welcomed the other guests as they looked at me weirdly. 'I guess they remember me.'
"Hello Izuku Midoriya"
Kurogiri greets me.
"Hello Kurogiri-San. What can I get you?"
"Something light please."
"Sure. What about you Himiko-San?"
"Deku-kun! You remember me?"
"Of course.  How could I forget you?"
I say smiling.
I get the rest of their orders and let them have their fun.

Time skip to later~

They leave one by one but I dont see Shigaraki anywhere.
"Touya-san, Will Shigaraki-San not be coming?"
"He's busy."
"Oh okay. Get home safe."
"Thanks. You too. And keep in touch with Shoto, he's worried about you."
He smiles at me. I agree to his suggestion and close up the bar.
It was almost 2 Am now. I check the time and see today's date, 19-01-29.
'Ah....its today..'
"Kacchan...."
