Paging Dr. Deku

65: Good to Me

"Are you sure you don't want us to drive you home, mom? We don't mind." Izuku said. 

"Oh Izuku, you don't need to worry about me, I'll be just fine. You two should be careful getting home yourselves." Inko answered. 

"Yeah, but it's still the middle of the day and anything could happen to you." Izuku noted. 

"Don't worry about me, Izuku, as you should never worry about your mother. Katsuki, please make sure to protect her for me, and make sure she gets enough rest and eats enough too." 

"Y-Yeah." 

Though he was informed about everything that happened earlier when Kei was in his place, Katsuki was still confused on certain things, but he wasn't gonna ask any questions right now. 

"Bye mom, and let me know if you ever need help at the bakery and I'll drop by." 

"Alright, just don't overwork yourself! Take care, you two!" Inko said as she waved them goodbye while driving off.

"So... your mom still owns that place?" 

"Hm? You mean the bakery? Of course, why wouldn't she?" 

"Nevermind that, are you..." Katsuki paused as he was unsure if it was okay to ask this kind of question out in public. 

"Hm? What's wrong, Kacchan? Am I what?" she asked. 

"I was gonna ask if you're... sore..." 

"Sore? Sore from what?" 

"Well uh... from last night?" he asked while his cheeks blossomed bright Red. 

"Hm? Pfft! Was that what you were wanting to know? And here I thought you were gonna be confident in asking me something like that!" Izuku laughed. 

"Wha- I'm serious! Knowing you- You're... small and... s-sof– c-can easily get hurt!" he yelled. 

"Hmph, you're so silly, but yeah I am a bit sore, but you don't need to worry." Izuku answered. 

"Are you sure, Deku?" 

"I'm positive, now let's go get some lunch, I'm starving." she said as she grabbed his hand and they started walking. 

"What d'you want for lunch?" 

"You pick, Kacchan." 

"Wha- Why me?" 

"Because I always pick, so now it's your turn." 

"Fine."

"Woah~ Kacchan, you picked a good place! I've never been here before." Izuku said as she was in awe of the brightly lit restaurant. 

"Being the Number 1 hero has some perks, I guess. I used to come here all the time, but stopped for reasons." Katsuki noted. 

"Well then it looks like you need to stay as the Number 1 hero and work harder than ever! Especially since you've been on a small hiatus because of your arm." 

"Tch- it wasn't my fault I broke my arm, and you could've just used your quirk to heal me." 

"Ah ah ah~ I've told you before, Kacchan, that my quirk can't reverse things completely, especially since your arm was completely fractured. Be glad that it only took 8 weeks for the healing to finish, but that doesn't mean you can probably use your quirk at it's full potential right now. You're still gonna have to come in every couple of weeks to make sure your hand is completely healed and that nothing bad happens to your quirk." Izuku explained.
