Traumatized

Chapter 43

IZUKU POV

"So does it look better since we're at a festival?"

Kyoka's arm was locked around mine as we walked through the crowded street. Everywhere we looked there were stalls for food, games, and drinks. I couldn't remember the last time I actually went to a festival. Mama Joke had tried to get me to go to a few of them, but I always found some kind of excuse to stay in.

"Yeah, the atmosphere really adds to the look and the choker was a nice touch as well."

Kyoka looked up at me with one of the biggest smiles I had ever seen on her. Her onyx eyes sparkled as they met mine. These were the moments I had missed out on for two years and I wasn't planning on missing them ever again.

"That's more like it." She laughed before holding onto me tighter. "I can't believe we actually got the ok to go out the night before the exam."

"I can't believe the majority of the class came as well."

We looked behind us to see a group of our classmates enjoying themselves. Even though it had barely been a month since we all went out together, it seemed like it had been forever. Everyone had been working hard since the camp so this was the perfect opportunity to blow off some steam.

"We all needed this, we have the exam tomorrow and then classes start the day after that. This was our last chance."

"That makes sense, I am surprised about who all came."

She looked at me before tapping a jack to her lip. "Really, there was maybe only one or two people that surprised me."

I looked at her surprised. "Seriously?"

"Yeah, I mean Koda doesn't seem to like big crowds, Bakugo is in bed by eight almost every night, and Todoroki is Todoroki."

"Then what about Mineta and Kaminari? I was fully expecting them to come and enjoy the sites."

Kyoka rolled her eyes at me. "Fair enough, but last time they tried to do that you almost turned them into eunuchs. I think you scared them for life."

"They have nothing to worry about as long as they don't try anything with you..."

"Awww Izuku, that's so sweet." She leaned up and kissed me on the cheek.

"Or Yaomomo, or Uraraka, or Mina, or Higakure, or Tsu."

She sent an annoyed glare. "Seriously, did you forget anyone?"

"What the hell, I guess I'll throw in Yukihira, Sasaki, and Yusa as well."

Her forehead began to twitch. "Izuku remember the other week when I said you went one comment to many... well that was a little more than one comment to many. That was closer to eight."

I looked at her suspiciously. "Would you prefer me to let them creep on all the girls?"

She looked away embarrassed as she fiddled with a jack. "No, but you didn't have to say all of them... you could have left it at me."

I smirked as I patted her head. "Awww is someone feeling jealous. I promise to give you plenty of attention tonight."

She softly growled at me as she turned deep red. "Izuku cut it out."

"Could you two please cut out all the lovey dovey stuff for a few minutes? You're going to give me diabetes."

We turned around to see Mina and Hagakure snickering at us. Kyoka looked annoyed while I just laughed at them.

"I think that might be from the ten pound bag of cotton candy you two are eating."

Mina huffed as she put her hands on her hips. "It's a festival, this is what you do!"
