A journey of discovery

Third stop: San Francisco

Arriving in San Francisco the two teens spent the first few days looking around at the popular tourist attractions and their stay in this city mimicked their time in New York City. But this time around both Kyoka and Izuku were more conscious about the other and their feelings toward the other. Nonetheless both had plenty of fun exploring the city. One day they were standing at the Golden Gate Bridge, when an idea popped into Izukus head and he decided it was time to act a bit more on his feelings towards Kyoka.

Izuku: *standing on the bridge beside Kyoka and looking onto the bay* Hey Kyo?

Kyoka: *also looking out* Yeah what up?

Izuku: Do you want to maybe go on a date tomorrow evening?

Kyoka: *shocked and flustered* W-w-what?

Izuku: You know a date? Dressing a bit fancy and going out to eat at a restaurant?

Kyoka: Eeehm. (I mean i would like to but ...) why with me?

Izuku: *looking at her* Why not?

Kyoka: Come on. I know i am nothing much to look at and *lowers voice* i am sure you are doing this out of pity for me.

Izuku: *gets a bit angry* Ok listen here. I am NOT doing this out of pity.

Kyoka: *shocked at his sudden outburst but hears he is genuine*

Izuku: Why would i invite someone out on a date i do not like?

Kyoka: But why me? I am nothing like the other girls in our class. I am sure you would have more to look at with the others.

Izuku: (God damn how insecure is she about her body? Well not that i can say much to that. Would be pretty hypocritical of me.) Listen Kyo, it is not just about your looks ok? I like you for who you are. That includes all of you. Personality, looks, everything all right? I would be more confused if you would actually accept my invitation, because there are a lot of better guys in our class.

Kyoka: (What?!? Has he looked at himself recently? Better guys? None come to mind. So why is he saying this?)

Izuku: You know what. Let us get back to our hotel room and talk for a bit. I think we both could need that.

Kyoka: Ok let us go.

Both teens went back to their hotel room. The way back was filled with silence. Both not beeing sure what to say. Once they arrived Izuku got comfortable on his bed and signaled Kyoka to lie next to him. Lately whenever they were in their room relaxing both found themselves together on either of their beds. Most times the two would even have a small cuddle session before going to bed. Kyoka found the safety of Izukus embrace always comforting and even now it made her break down the walls she build in order to tell him what she was so insecure about. She told him about her insecurities about her body not beeing as developed as the rest of their classmates. Izuku managed to assure her, that despite feeling that way, that she should not worry.

Izuku: Beauty and such things are always subjective. Hell most guys that only think of a womens body are only it for just that. They only want to satisfy their sexual desires. We have two experts on that in our class. But i am not like that. I like you for who you are. I like that you stand up for yourself and what you belive in. I like that you have such a hard outer shell but once you are comfortable around me you show me you vulnerable and soft side. And by the way i find you extremely attractive and sexy.

Kyoka: *looking at him in shock* (WHAT?!? WOW WOW WOW. HE FINDS ME ATTRACTIVE AND SEXY?!?) *blushing hard now and buries her face in his chest* Thank you for saying that. But i do not understand one thing.
