Fallen Guardian

17. Unexpected Ally

A green eyed angel sits alone on a cold iron bench in the middle of a dark cemetery.

To anyone else this might be creepy, something no one else would dream of doing.

But doesn't bother Izuku in the slightest and that's for a couple different reasons.

One, he doesn't fear death, he's protected then walked some of the owners of these graves right through the gates of heaven when their time came.

And two and probably the most prevalent right now is he feels dead inside, so this seems to be where he fits in at the moment.

He closes his eyes letting his mind shift to a warm bed and an even warmer blonde who he had spent hours in the embrace of in a cozy apartment in the city.

He opens clear emerald eyes slowly looking up at a stary inky black November sky.

It's been a week since he saw Katsuki on those dark winding roads in the rain where he finally got to tell him what happened.

He hasn't layed eyes on the gorgeous male since and with each day that passes his heartache seems to grow.

The greenett has been trying to set up a meeting to talk to All Might but he's had no luck so far. He still doesn't have another charge yet which isn't all that unusual to have a break in between when they try to find you another one.

He doesn't want one anyway. Has even considered refusing another because if he can't watch over crimson eyes and ash blonde hair he doesn't want to look over anyone ever again.

He's heard Katsuki daily, in fact the firey blonde doesn't miss a chance to pray to him and often does several times a day and although it always makes Izuku happy when it hears that voice it also makes him incredibly sad because he can't answer.

He desperately wants to answer, he longs to hear Katsuki say, " Deku are you here?" , like he had many times before on the high-rise so he could smile and answer, " Yes Kacchan, I'm always here".

But he's not there, he's not there and he hates it so deeply it's burning a hole in his chest.

There's a sound behind him suddenly, a twig snapping.

He doesn't even flinch doesn't even make a move while he speaks.

" Stop lurking like a creep Touya, you don't have to hide in the bushes like a werido"

Suddenly an angel of a different kind emerges from the darkness.

The dark angel with deep glowing blue eyes and scars on his skin dressed in raven black clothing that matches the color of his hair jumps over the back of the bench and sits beside the greenett with a smirk on his features.

" Guardain Izu. Damn I didn't think you'd say a word to me"

Izuku looks over and meets a blue eyed gaze.

" Why wouldn't I? I haven't seen you since you left heaven but that doesn't mean I wouldn't have said anything to you if I had. I always liked you Touya, that hasn't changed"

The angel in black gives a slight smile.

" Yeah, I always liked you too runt. And I don't know, I figured since I was the outcast turned dark side all you guys were probably forbidden from even looking at me let alone talk to me", he says with a chuckle.

Emerald eyes grow dark as the greenett shifts his gaze out over the empty cemetery.

" Yeah well, I don't care much for heaven or its rules lately, so even if that's true it wouldn't matter, I'd still talk to you. And for the record Touya I don't think you were wrong for rebelling, I never have, and now I understand even more."
