Worth Saving

8. Rescue

" Did you think you could stop me? I'd burn the world down and anything in my path to save you"

It's been a week since Izuku has seen Katsuki on their late night taco run and that wasn't because he was hiding from him this time, this time it had more to do with the fact that there was nonstop fire calls lately and the firey blonde had been on the go almost constantly.

It was summer, early August and the city was in the middle of a heat wave and for reasons unknown anytime it's like this the city seems to get restless. Teenagers get restless start trouble sometimes that means starting stupid fires that quickly get out of control. There's over heated and over worked AC units that catch blaze, even cars that seem to combust on their own. In other words it's been a miserable hot, trying week for a crimson eyed male.

Izuku had seen him briefly on a call to check the firefighters making sure to check the blonde as soon as their eyes met.

Right away Izuku noticed those bewitching scarlet eyes looked exhausted.

However not exhausted enough for the cocky blonde not to throw his bad pickup lines at the greenett who would grin and laugh at each attempt but Katsuki was always pulled away soon after.

Izuku had actually been worried about him, he couldn't help it and and on top of that he could not get Katsuki off his mind no matter how hard he tried..but was he trying, really?

The greenett was tired too, something he was currently feeling as he drug himself home, stripping a damp sweat covered work polo from himself as he collapsed face first into his bed.

He had worked late, it was now after eleven. He rolled over onto his back staring up at the ceiling with a sigh feeling fatigue pull.

There's another reason besides heat and crimson eyes that have been keeping him awake the past few nights.

Raiden had been on a full blown rampage lately since Izuku had been trying to ignore or dodge him at every turn, sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't like the times the male would come bagging and screaming at his door nonstop till he got his way.

Izuku groans while emerald eyes flutter twards his open window.

His thoughts wander again back to where they now have full time residents, a blonde firefighter.

He rolls his eyes slamming a pillow over his face.

No way he'll get any sleep now.

He moves the pillow picking up his phone.

He's almost disappointed there isn't a message from the cocky blonde who always sent them even if Izuku didn't answer, now he's starting to regret not answering them all.

He bites his cheek as his fingers dance across a contact name and with a nervousness bouncing in his veins he hits call.

But by the second ring Izuku is losing his nerve and almost hangs up until he hears the rough sleep filled voice of a firefighter who was no doubt asleep.

The greenett curses himself under his breath knowing he just woke Katsuki up.

" Hello?"

Katsuki had picked up his phone without even opening his eyes.

He's on his stomach side of his face smashed into his pillow. He's barely conscious considering he's been up for the past two days with no sleep until he hears a small sheepish voice on the line.

" H-hi Mr Perfect. Gosh I'm sorry, I didn't even think about it being so late. I'll talk to you later, go back to sleep.

One crimson eye opens the voice instantly making a twist of concren hit his system.
