Life Within a Tarot Deck

Tension

Izuku and Katsuki were the last to leave the changing room as Katsuki had to threaten the others to leave before getting killed by the Angry Pomeranian. Izuku was very self-conscious about his body, only Katsuki, Ophelia, Recovery Girl, and Mitsuki personally knew, and those who happened to record him being naked at Tattooin their phones were somehow hacked and any videos of him were erased. Only hearsay now.

Though Mineta was persistent saying that the group would not judge, Izuku didn't doubt it. However, this was a personal matter he does not want to reveal, afraid certain questions were going to be asked. Kaminari did get on the short teen's case telling him he needs to butt out, but when Mineta made a certain comment about Izuku that not only freaked him out but pissed the electric blonde that in one swift movement, he grabbed Mineta's face and electrocuted the poor bastard. Even Katsuki was impressed.

"I like him. He may act like an idiot but somehow he knows when enough is enough." The soft blonde said, smirking as Kaminari dragged Mineta and the others followed in fear.

"Yeah, and he's kinda c-" Izuku jolted and turned red at what he was about to say, and unfortunately for the verdanette, his brother caught on. He smirked.

"You have a crush?" Katsuki taunted, relishing the red look before Izuku started to tear up and look down. "Hey, I ain't gonna tease you too much, Izu...I am just glad that you might have found someone."

"Y-yeah but I am also scared, Kacchan. What if he is like the others, who claim they care and just use me for my body. Would he understand the pain I have been through? Would he just laugh at my misfortune?" Izuku looked into his brother's eyes and the blonde saw that deep hurt that clenched his heart. "It is just too much."

"Do you trust him, Izuku?"

"Eh?" Izuku looked at his brother in confusion at the unexpected question. What does he mean by that? What kind of trust is he talking about? "I don't understand, Kacchan."

Katsuki sighed, he knew this was going to be tough for Izuku. "Do you trust Dunce Face to at least start off as a close friend, like Eevee?"

Izuku got what he was asking and gave it some thought. "I want him to be my friend, and maybe a close friend. I just-I don't know how to do this..."

"If he gives you some comfort, then let's have him hang out with us. Talk little by little, it does not have to be fast like I had with Eeve. Not every romance is instant." Katsuki gave his brother a quick hug before looking over his costume. "Are you sure this will keep your body warm?"

His brother nodded and put on his deep green vest that covered his one-piece. It was solid black and beautiful green flames were embroidered on the sides of his stomach, crossing upwards to his 'stubs' and smaller flames along the sleeves. The lower part of the one-piece also had pouches where he can keep calorie bars and other necessary items. There is even a pouch on his back for Honey once he decides to take her to train, but for now, she is with Aizawa. "Yes, it is made to insulate my heart, lungs, and other organs. I should be fine as long as the temp does not go below the threshold or liquids get inside my suit."

Katsuki looked at the uniform as if threatening to try to end his brother's life before giving a nod of approval. He had another thing to address though. "I doubt you will do this, but if HE wants to talk to you, do not go alone. Bring Eevee, me, or if we aren't available, Dunce Face or even Scales. We may not know her fully yet, but I can tell she has the same protective vibe as Fangs."

"Trust me, me being alone with that Two-Faced bastard is the last thing that I want." Izuku growled and his flames briefly turned red before he reigned it in. "I got something planned for him, and if he tries something stupid it will be his downfall. I know I told you about it, and how you feel about it, but please keep it a secret a little bit longer." He then smiled a menacing smile, causing his brother to shudder in fearful anticipation. "I don't want to put down the horse just yet, just break some bones."
