A Different Type of Hero

A New Opportunity

 " Zuku, baby, it's one in the afternoon. You need to get up, come on." Katsuki said, sitting in the bed next to his partner. Since losing his job, Izuku had been having a little trouble gaining motivation to start his days. So, he simply wouldn't. He'd wake up and just lay there until he was actually needed for something.

This type of behavior wasn't something Katsuki was used to seeing from his partner. Usually, Izuku would be full of energy and ready to take on the day by about six in the morning. Which was actually something he adored about him. He loved how he got excited about the start of a new day. But lately, he just seemed so off. So sad. It hurt Katsuki to see Izuku struggling so bad.

" But why? I don't have anything to do so there's no point. No need to waste the energy I already don't have." Izuku said, rolling over in the bed. He cuddled his face further in the warm blankets and did his best to tune out life. Katsuki, however, was not going to give up. Izuku needed to get out of bed, at least to shower.

" I know you don't want to, darlin. But it's really important that you do. Come on, I don't have to work until tonight. Let me take you out and pamper you today. We can do whatever you want." Izuku turned his head to look at his partner. He was never one to turn an opportunity like that down. It truly would be a crime to do so.

Katsuki smiled, it was at that point that he knew he'd hooked him. Worked like a charm every time. " You really mean it? And we can get katsudon?" The blonde nodded, giving a soft 'mhm' in response. He brushed a green curl from Izuku's forehead, the other quietly humming at the touch. " Now come on, let's go get a shower and get ready to go." Katsuki stood from the bed, the other following close behind.

...

" Oh my All Might, is that pro hero Dynamight?!" Katsuki winced at the squealing sound coming from behind his and Izuku's table. He'd already had to fight off a swarm of paparazzi and now this?

Izuku placed his hand atop his partner's on the table and smiled at him. " Just ignore them, it's ok." He gave the other's hand a small reassuring squeeze and went back to eating his lunch.

He really did want to ignore them. But that proved to be difficult when the two friends walked over to the table and started firing off questions left and right. " Is this your boyfriend?! Can we have a picture?! An autograph?! How did you survive that building falling on you?! That was crazy!" He rolled his eyes, not wanting to answer. He was about to say something when Izuku beat him to it.

" Look, I understand that you two are excited but my partner and I are trying to have a nice day off and we'd really appreciate it if you would leave us alone. Maybe next time." He smiled at them. A kind smile but matched with eyes that showed how he truly felt. In all honesty, it frustrated him that the two of them couldn't just go out and do something without someone bombarding his Katsuki with questions.

The two friends realized their mistake and began to frantically apologize and then ran off and out of sight. " Damn, look at you sayin' somethin'. Good job, babe." Katsuki praised, smirking at his partner. Izuku rolled his eyes and chuckled at the comment. Sure he'd never shut a crazed fan down before but he'd most definitely stood up for himself on many occasions. Yet Katsuki always seemed to enjoy it for whatever reason.

" Thanks, not really in the mood to deal with the batshit crazy Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight fan club." Katsuki choked on his drink laughing at Izuku's brutal honesty. He always enjoyed sassy Izuku. It was a rare sight but always enjoyable.

" Sir, are you telling me you're not a part of the 'batshit crazy Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight fan club'? I am highly offended. You'll need to get a membership immediately." Katsuki teased, poking fun at the new name for his fan base. Who were indeed, batshit crazy.
