My Pawfect Rebirth

67: Shall We?

Izumi and Katsuki walked out of the hospital after what felt like an eternity since Izumi's hands were being taken care of longer than expected. 

"I'm sorry about everything that happened today, Kacchan. At least we can finally do something today." Izumi said. 

"Tch- not a lot, it's already night." 

"N-Night?!?! Were we really in the hospital all afternoon!?!? Aw man, now I feel really bad about everything." Izumi said with a pout. 

'As much as I should be mad about this, at least Deku's hands are taken care of.' he thought. 

"Hmm, what should we do now, Kacchan?" 

"Hah- let's just walk around for right now until we think of something." Katsuki said.

So the two of them walked together through the busy streets of Japan, the only difference this time was that neither of them were holding hands with each other. After a bit of walking, Izumi could tell her body was drained after everything that happened that day. 

'Why did everything have to be on Christmas Eve? Why did I think leaving the crime scene yesterday was a good idea? Hm? Oh!' 

"Hey Kacchan, let's stop up there and sit down for a minute." Izumi said, pointing ahead of her. 

Katsuki looked at where she was pointing, it was nowhere special, barely anyone else was in that area and it seemed like a good place to stop and sit for a second. 

"Fine."

The blond followed her and they sat down on a park bench that was placed in front of a large Christmas tree. 

"This spot should be good." Izumi said, sitting down. 

Katsuki didn't say anything, he just sat down after her and the second he sat down, she rested her head on his shoulder. His dog ears perked and he could feel his tail wagging behind him. 

'Shit.' 

"I wanna thank you again for standing up to Neito like that. It makes me feel better knowing that's how you think of me, Kacchan." Izumi said. 

"Tch- that shithead knew it was comin, he doesn't know you like I do." 

"Hmph, and I'm glad! Hah- it got a lot colder out here, this wind is blowing right through me." Izumi said, lifting her head off the blond's shoulder and shivering.

Katsuki looked at her and realized the greenette was missing something. 

"Oi-" 

"Hm? What is it, Kacchan?" Katsuki pointed right at her. 

"Where's your scarf?" Izumi thought about it and realized that she wasn't wearing her scarf. 

"Oh no! I forgot that I left my scarf at the Station and didn't grab it after we left! Aw man, and that was my favorite scarf." Izumi whined. 

"So are you still cold?" 

"Yeah, but it's fine, I'll just suck it up and deal with feeling-" 

Katsuki pulled his scarf off and wrapped it around the greenette's neck. Izumi looked up at him and felt her cheeks blush. 

"K-Kacchan... wait- but this is yours, I can't-" 

"Just keep it on." Katsuki said, as she tried to unwrap the scarf, but he held his hands onto hers.

"I'm not that cold, so wear it." he said. 

"Ah- o-okay... Thank you, Kacchan." Izumi said nervously.
