The Apartment

Katsuki led the green eyed cutie back to the front of the bar.

"See that door there" he pointed to a beautiful wood door. "That is an old secret entrance to a speakeasy" He pulled out the keys and unlocked the door, opening it for the nerd. Closing the door, the noise of the bar was instantly hushed. Izuku's eyes grew wide in the dimly lit hallway. A staircase ran up the right side of the wall and the hallway ended in inky blackness to the left. Katsuki flipped a switch on the wall. Beautiful wall sconces lit up the staircase and hallway in soft warm light.

"Wow, this is amazing," Izuku took in the stunning decor running his hand over the beautiful banister railing. The walls gleamed brightly along the bottom with natural wood tones with beautiful wallpaper that gave an aura of the early 1920's above the wood.

"This is probably one of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen." he whispered

Katsuki smiled proudly.

'He fucking gets it'

"Yeah, it took a lot of work, especially the wood. Most of it had rotted out and matching it all was a fucking bitch."

Izuku looked back at the blonde, in the soft glow of the scones the red eyes and jawline seemed less harsh, softer.

"Wait?! you did this?"

"Well, not by myself, but most of it I either did or helped."

"Kacchan, that is amazing!"

Katsuki looked at the nerd blinking.

"What did you call me?"

Izuku froze.

'Oh Shit'

"Oh-oh when M-Mina said your name, I thought I heard, oh my God, I am so sorry." he slapped his palm on his forehead sweeping back riotous curls. "I-I am so sorry."

"It's okay, calm down nerd." the blonde looked down into emerald pools. "You can fucking call me Kacchan, I kind of like it coming from you." His voice was low and husky. Flames of red spread across the nerd's face. Katsuki was starting to like this game.

"But, for the record, it is Katsuki."

He guided the nerd up the staircase until they came to another long hallway. Walking the length they passed more doors. "These are just storage rooms." He pointed out as they came around the corner. Two more doors, one at the very end of the hallway and one to the right. "This door" he hit the one on the right, "leads back to the bar, down by my office. This door," he pulled out the keys and jingled them into the lock, "leads to the apartment." Katsuki opened the door and the faint smell of cleaning products hit their noses. The early afternoon sunlight flooded the windows to the left of the door. There was another door right off the main entrance. Katsuki opened it revealing a small bedroom. He pointed to a random door on the wall inside the small bedroom. "Ignore that door, there are a lot of strange hallways and doors in this place." he looked sideways at the cute nerd as he nodded looking around the open space.

"This is really nice, a perfect office for me." Izuku looked out the windows at the far end of the room, pausing to look at the door.

Katsuki had left out that the door also led back to a secret staircase that ended in his office. He held back a grin as he wondered how that might come in handy later. He walked into the main room. "This is your living room and dining room."

"Wow this place is amazing" Izuku gasped taking in the big windows that dotted the long room. A small kitchen on the right end and two more doors on the left end.

"Master and bathroom" the big blonde threw open both doors. "I haven't gotten around to this part of the building yet, the floors are still old and the walls need fixing. But everything works and it is clean." He walked to the kitchen and set the keys up on the tiled kitchen counter.
