Paging Dr. Deku

51: Unnatural

'Geez... it's only been 4 days since me and Kacchan 'made up' and ever since that happened, Reed's been busy and I've been spending every night somehow with Kacchan. Is it gonna be like for a month? Me and Kacchan aren't even dating each other!' Izuku thought as she sat there in awe as she felt her body was exhausted from everything that week. 

"Let me get this straight, Reed told you–on Monday–that he wouldn't be able to see you that often because an old friend of his from America is coming to visit him. So instead of you complaining that you don't get to see your boyfriend... You are spending time with someone you shouldn't be with and have been hanging out with Katsuki all week?!?! Do you think any of this makes sense, Izu?" Melissa asked.

"Well when you put it that way, it sounds worse than it really is, but I really do think that there isn't anything romantic between me and Kacchan this time. He apologized to me about the confession and said he wouldn't get in the way of me and Reed, but now that I've been basically hanging out with Kacchan every night, I guess it makes sense why you would think I'm cheating on Reed. But I really am not! There's been nothing romantic between me and Kacchan, I promise!" 

"Oh really, then what have you and Katsuki done for the past 4 nights together, hm?" Melissa asked. 

"Ah- umm... let's see... Monday night, me and Kacchan went back to his place and we had Katsudon and some drinks, but neither of us got drunk or did anything stupid after that! W-We just talked, that's all!" 

"Okay~ and what about the rest of the week?"

"Erm- Tuesday night... he brought me to the arcade we used to go to when we were kids, and we did a little karaoke that night too. Then Wednesday night we went to the movies and had dinner, and last night... oh yeah, last night he said he was busy at his agency so I just went to his agency and we had dinner there. That's it." Izuku explained. 

Melissa raised an eyebrow as she wasn't really impressed by the explanation because everything the greenette said sounded like dates to her. 

"And he didn't try to do anything romantic or in a loving gesture, right?" Melissa asked. 

"No! No way~ Well..." Izuku paused as she thought back to incidents that happened in the past 4 days.

( Flashback to Monday Night )

"Kacchan, are you sure you want to cook Katsudon for me? You're still wearing a cast and I don't want you to get hurt by anything. The kitchen can be a dangerous place if you're not careful." Izuku ushered. 

"Relax, Izuku, I'll be extra careful just for you, but you can still watch me just to make sure I don't get hurt. You are my personal doctor." Kei teased.

( Note: Keep in mind, this is all Kei, since Katsuki's still hiding from Izuku for the time being, but he'll be back soon. Moving on! )

"W-Well when you say something like that, then that means I have to watch you so you don't get hurt." 

"I'm just teasing, Izuku, why don't you set up the table instead?" Kei suggested. 

"Alright, but you better not get hurt when I'm not watching you." 

"Yes ma'am!" 

Izuku walked into the kitchen and tried to figure out where exactly everything that they needed would be located, but she could tell the blond's kitchen was completely different from hers. 

'Where're the bowls? Don't tell me they're in a higher cabinet than I can reach?' she thought. 

Just her luck, one of the tallest cabinets–that just so happened to only be opened if she stood on her tiptoes–did she see that the bowls were in that cabinet.
