Life Within a Tarot Deck

Uncomfortable Praise

After getting a drink to help Izuku replenish what he had lost in tears, the duo went back to the living room and talked about Eevee's unusual Quirk and what she can do. By that time, Eevee transformed back to her daily form, with light brown skin and a tail with a tan at the tip.

"So, depending on the situation if your body heat goes above what you consider a fever of 108 degrees your body automatically goes into your Flame Forme and you can deal with a temp of up to 2200 degrees which is very useful in a actively volcanic area, and you can breathe fire up to 3000 which can melt steel?"

"Yep, I was surprised when I breathed fire and accidentally melted the head off of Endeavor's statue."

Izuku looked at her in shock. "Noooo." He said in disbelief.

Eevee just nodded. "Uh huh! Caused my mom hell as everyone who witnessed the scene rounded on her." She then looked sad. "I remember people calling us names and that mutants are a bane to human society. It would have gone downhill if we weren't saved by Endeavor himself."

Izuku grits his teeth at the Quirkism that this Godforsaken society had created, and he also had a pang of guilt. The Quirkless wasn't the only one seen as a blemish. Mutants, Undesirable Quirks, and those with Unregistered Quirks are always assaulted with looks or harmful items. Many went to Villany or committed suicide due to stress and lack of support.

"He looked at the statue in question, then looked at me. It was scary, Endeavor never smiled or showed any emotions and I could not determine if he was angry or happy. Mom was covering me just in case things went south, but instead of reprimanding me, he praised me."

The verdanette choked on his juice. "P-praised you? Endeavor praises no one!"

"I know right!?" Eevee yelled back, wagging her tail again in happiness. "He told me I had a powerful Quirk and if I ever wanted to go into Hero work, I am welcome at his agency for training. I am just as glad that he didn't order us to pay for damages."

"Jesus, you must have really impressed him. Does he know that you have other forms?"

"Just my base, Flame Forme was the first to appear. I had a fever where mom was trying to take me to the hospital when it happened. I transformed in the middle of a crowd and sneezed, creating a massive flamethrower."

"Tsuke~," Izuku said in surprise, writing all the information down. "Do you have any other forms?"

"Sea Forme, but I would like to tell you that later."

Izuku widened his eyes and pouted. "Why noooot?"

Eevee smiled mischievously and said. "Because you will be here for a while and I don't want to spill all of my aces." She smiled when the verdanette huffed, she did another jab. "And I just want to see you pout with that bunny face."

That caused the boy to squeak and blush red at his round face being teased, and Eevee laughed at his cute shyness. He is so innocent that she could not help but tease him a bit.

"I see you two are hitting it off nicely."

Eevee and Izuku both yelled in surprise as Ophelia appeared out of nowhere, carrying bags in her arms and tail.

"How did you get by me!? Jesus, it has been a long time since you did that." Eevee said, holding her chest as her heart thumped painfully. Ophelia just deadpanned.

"You got that stealth from me, Eevee..."

"O-oh, right." She said sheepishly, and then pouted when she heard a snicker from the greenette.

The serpentine smiled at the duo's interaction. "How did you two introduce yourselves once you woke up, Izuku?" The duo blushed in embarrassment and knew it must have been funny and she smiled mischievously. "Oooh, I want to hear about that later."

"M-mom!" The fennec lookalike waved her hands frantically, not wanting to give the serpentine any ammo. "We were talking about my Quirk, and Izu-kun was writing down the information." She then smiled as the greenette hid behind his book once more, this time labeled Eevee's Handbook. "I am surprised he is able to break down my Quirk so easily and he even made suits or gear that may help. He even thought of some moves I can use that may enhance the potency of my Flame Forme. He is an absolute genius!"

"U-uuhhhh...Th-th-thank you..."

He was so red at the compliment that the duo thought he was about to explode like a nuclear reactor. "Easy on the compliments Eve, he is not used to a lot of praise."

"I will tone it down a bit." Eevee said with a look of worry and sympathy. Poor guy. She then smiled as she thought of something interesting. "Hey, Izu-kun, wanna take a look at my homemade plush collection before dinner? If you see something you like I can make one for you."

That made Izuku excited. "You homemake items? Yes, please!"

Eevee and Izuku then went up to her room, and the verdanette was so excited at the homemade plush of different heroes. She had made Endeavor, Eraserhead, Present Mic, Midnight, and was in the process of making Recovery Girl. Needless to say, the girl could tell he wanted all of them, and the fact that she found someone that liked her passion made her feel that she can't refuse anything he asks.

He will get the entire damn collection.
