Chapter 19.

Time skip/3rd person pov

The two boys were walking down on the street, heading towards that certain Japanese Cafe.

"are you sure it was a good idea to leave Roro and Lala at home?" the greenette asked.

"of course, they usually stay there by themselves when I'm on a mission or at work. They're young but they can take care of themselves for a few hours or a day. They already got used to it." the taller boy said confidently.

He wasn't lying, sometimes his mission takes more than one day and his siblings are okay with that. Of course they only know that Rody is at 'work' so they won't spill anyone about his real work.

Shoto pov

"COME ON ICYHOT I'M FUCKING HUNGRY!!" Bakugo yelled as he walked faster. We were going to have a breakfast at a nice Cafe I discovered last time when we were here.

"calm down, I don't think they're open yet anyway." I said, catching up to him. Endeahoe is staying at his own apartment he rented, of course it has two floors and everything. Not like I care tho.

This place remind me of Izuku.. I miss him, I miss his company. Now I could go with him to the Cafe but no, I have to go with this annoying pomeranian.

We walked into the small Cafe, there were a few people already but not many.

I walked to a table in the back. I honestly don't want Bakugo to embarrass me in front of other people with his anger issues.

We both sat down and waited for the waitress. Honestly, when I called Rody I was really hoping he saw Izuku. I mean they're really good friends, I'm surprised he doesn't know anything about it..

After we ordered our breakfast I took a look at Bakugo, who was unusually silent. He was staring at the table blankly.

"what's up with the silence?" I asked, knowing I'll break that peaceful silence. "this place reminds me of fucking Deku." he said. Is he also worried? Or just tired of yelling whole day.

"it reminds me too." I said, then we got back to the awkward silence.

I heard the the Cafe's door open again, I didn't pay much attention until I saw a familiar green messy hair. My eyes widened in shock.

Izuku pov

"admit it, I'm amazing at lying." Rody said proudly as we entered the Cafe.

We sat down to the same table where we sat last time, right next to the window. I looked out through the window, staring at the sunrise.

"uh.. Izu- we have a little problem.." I heard Rody say. "what?" I asked looking at him. He was looking towards the back of the Cafe. I looked there too, what I saw nearly got me a heart attack.

Kacchan and Shoto were sitting at a table, staring at me with wide eyes. "u-um I think we should go.. Right now." I said as we both stood up and walked out quickly, until we got stopped by a familiar yell.

"DEKU!!" Kacchan yelled as he ran towards us. Great. I should enjoy my last moments alive.

I stopped walking as I stared at him. He stopped as he approached me and Rody. "Deku- why the fuck- WHAT THE HELL?!" he asked, catching for air.

Soto catched up to him, running out of breath as well. "Izu- Izuku why didn't you answer my calls??" he asked as he hugged me. I heard Rody clear his throat behind me. Soto looked at him, letting go of the hug.

"you don't say anything liar." Shoto said staring at Rody sternly, almost like he's looking at Endeavor. "he's not a liar. He was just protecting me." I said, crossing my arms.

"protecting you from what? Me?!" he asked, freaked out. "honestly, yes! If you would just run away you wouldn't want anyone to find you either!" I said, more like yelled which wasn't really usual for me.

"but why did you even do it? I thought you were happy." he said. "Kacchan can answer this question of yours." I said, giving Kacchan a death stare. I mean if I can even do that.

"you. You were that fucker who beat him up?!" Rody yelled. "SHUT UP I JUST WANT TO FUCKING APOLOGIZE!" Kacchan yelled back.

Rody stepped closer and kicked him in the stomach. "ugh- what the hell?!" Kacchan made an explosion, making Rody fly back. I'm really about to lose my shit.

"make one one more explosion Katsuki. I dare you." I said starting into Kacchan's eyes. "oh yeah what are you gonna do about it?" he asked with a laughter. "Bakugo. Stop." Shoto said.

"you stay out of this icyhot!!" Kacchan yelled at him, making small explosions in his hands as his eyes wandered at me.

I'm not going to let it happen again. I'm not weak. I'm going to protect myself. "you want a go?" I asked, putting my fists up into a fighting position.

"you know what I'm out. I won't water time on you fuckers." he said walking off.

I let out a 'tch' as I watched him walk away. This isn't over, I'll let him know what it feels to get beaten nearly to death.

"Izuku I-Im sorry if I did something that caused you to run away.. I swear I didn't mean to." Shoto said.

"you didn't do anything, Sho-kun. I just didn't want to continue that lifestyle, and I'm not planning on going back." I said, staring at the ground. "let's go back and have a peaceful breakfast alright..? Without Katsuki." I offered as they both agreed, we made our way back to the Cafe.

"hey Izu, do we tell him about..us?" Rody whispered to me. "no I don't think we should.." I whispered back as we entered the Cafe.

We sat down to the same table as before, but this time with Soto.

"so.. How have you been?" he asked, seemingly trying to avoid the awkward silence.

"pretty good, I'm feeling much better than I did back in Japan." I said with a smile.

"since when are you two like- friends? I mean last time you all were here at Otheon you barely spoke to each other and kept giving Izu cold stares." Rody said.

"well um.. I honestly don't know. I guess we just started talking to each other more, that's all." he answered.

After our breakfast arrived we started eating. Shoto ordered soba, Rody got a plate of matcha flavored mochi and I got a peach boba.

"I have a theory.." Shoto said. Oh come on. Again? His last theory was that I'm All Might's secret love child. I mean it would be cool but I'm not. I thought as I took a sip of my boba. "I think you two are dating." that sentence made me spill the drink out through my nose.

"holy shit- here." Rody said handing me a napkin. I quickly wiped the boba off my face and the table. "also no we're not dating." he said, trying to hide the light blush on his cheeks.

"and would you date Izuku for one million dollars?" what the hell- "nope." he said. "why not?" "because he's too....green." Rody said. Are you fricking serious right now?! Okay well you're too brown!

I crossed my arms as I leaned back in my chair. You will regret saying that, Rody Soul. I thought as I had a proud smile on my face.
