One More Time ~ A Thundering Hearts Sequel

12. Born for the Job

Kirishima goes wide eyed at the words just spoken to him.

" Seriously bro? You.... you want me to go with him not you?"

Katsuki grunts with annoyance.

" Weren't you listening? I can't go because I have a fucking business to run and I can't be away that long or trust me I'd go, I want to go, everything in me hates that I can't be with him the whole time, but it's just not realistic for me to be able to drop all this shit and open projects and leave, but you can."

The redhead nods with a smile.

" Right, but what about you losing another mechanic ? Isn't that gonna throw stuff behind here man? Maybe Mina should go! She'd be super excited to!", Kirishima grins.

Katsuki scoffs with an eye roll.

" The fuck is Pinky gonna do if that bastard comes after him huh? Threaten to paint his nails?! I need someone there I know can kick his ass if it comes down to it until I can get there and no offense to Pinky but like I said you're the only one I trust with him. The shop will be fine without you, I will not be fucking fine if something happens to him again."

The redhead let's his eyes soften as the concern his best friend has always held for the greenett who had become more of a little brother to him then friend. Before he can answer Katsuki speaks again.

" Why? Is there a problem? You don't wanna go or some shit? Cause if I absolutely have to I'll send Insomniac out there, he can kick ass when push comes to shove too so.."

Kirishima quickly cuts him off with furrowed brows.

" No way man! Don't you dare! Yeah of course I wanna go! And like you said I'm the only one you trust and I'm the only one I trust and I love Shinbro and all that but not with something like this. I got it man! I'm super proud to do it!"

Katsuki smirks sitting down at his desk looking through some paperwork.

" I knew I could count on you Shitty Red Wolf."

Kirishima chuckles with a large sharkish grin.

" No doubt! But umm.. have you told Mido yet?"

The blonde sits back in his chair with a sigh, crimson eyes shifting to the framed picture on his desk of the greenett.

" No, not yet, but it won't be an issue for two reasons. Number one being that Deku will always do what I think is best for him in the end and two, it's you, and he always sought out you when I couldn't be there first."

Suddenly rose red eyes grow glassy with emotion as the redhead sniffles.

" That..that really means a lot bro, you have no idea. I'm.. I'm deeply touched, like.. like seriously I'm.. I'm soo..."

Katsuki gets up with a smirk and an eye roll as he heads to the door.

" Don't get too ahead of yourself Shitty Hair, all I'm hearing here is you'll always be second best, first loser, in other words... not me"

Kirishima rolls his eyes following behind the blonde.

" Awe man, why you gotta ruin it like that?! You couldn't let me just have the moment?! Mean man, just mean."

The blonde continues to move out the door with his signature smirk etched onto his features.

" Yup, I am. And don't you forget it fucker. Oi, don't say anything to Deku about this yet, I'll tell him tonight."

As soon as the blonde enters the garage from his office Izuku stops his conversation with Shinso and Sero to meet crimson eyes that are looking back at him.
