It's the next morning, and just like yesterday, Izuku was up much earlier than Ochako. He made breakfast and started heating up the kettle for tea before she woke up.
The kettle began to whistle and he took it off of the stove, and perfectly on cue, Ochacko entered the room.
"Good morning, Love" Izuku said to the girl who clearly looked like she rolled out of bed and walked right in.
"Izu, what's your excuse this morning," she asked, wasting no time, then followed by a yawn. "Is everything alright? Seriously." she asked, looking into his eyes with concern.
Izuku set the kettle down onto a pot holder and grabbed her hands pulling them to his chest.
"Everything is fine, I promise!" he explained.
He was a bit nervous however. He had got the message last night notifying him that his order at the jeweler was ready for pickup.
"Hey, so there is one thing," he began. "I have to run a quick errand this morning downtown," he explained vaguely.
Ochako was starting to get a bit suspicious about where he was going.
"What is the errand? Maybe I can come with you?" she asked.
"Unfortunately, I cannot let you," He began. As he finished that sentence, she started to show signs of frustration. "It's nothing bad. It's a surprise!" She was a little taken back by what he said.
"What's the occasion?" she asked a bit flustered, worried that she forgot their anniversary or something.
"No occasion. Just something I want to do for you." he started. "In fact, how would you like to go on a date tonight?"
"You know, I would like that" she responded, easing up. She gave him a quick kiss and they moved on to grabbing breakfast.
They talked about work for a few minutes and everything regarding the new Paranormal Liberation scare.
"Okay, I'll see you at the base!" Izuku said as he was walking out the front door.
Instead of floating around town to run an errand, he instead opted to take his car. After yesterday's battle, it was probably best to stay under the radar as much as possible.
He pulled up down the road from the jewelers building, which was a part of a strip mall connected to several other stores. He had anticipated getting recognized, and thought it would be bad if any photos were seen of him going in.
His plan was to walk down the road casually and hope nobody recognized him. However, that didn't go to plan.
"Akio, Look! It's the number one hero!" a kid across the street yelled out.
"Where!?" Deku shouted all excited, taking him a second to realize it was him. Sometimes he forgets that he is more than a fan boy now...
Panic began to set in for Izuku, because now he had to find a way to shake off the attention before going into the store.
The kids ran up to him asking for autographs and pictures, with a few adults running up as well. He was quickly getting swarmed, not liking the attention in this situation. It was then, Izuku had an Idea. There was a costume shop in the same complex of buildings not too far.
He gave everyone the attention they deserved and he announced, "Look! A villain!"
He then let out a large smoke screen and ran into the costume store, grabbing a new jacket, a wig, and a fake mustache. He went to the counter throwing some money and telling the cashier to keep the change. Now back into the smoke storm, he quickly switched out into his new disguise.
The fog quickly dissipated and everyone looked for the hero who they believed was nowhere to be seen.
"I guess he must have grabbed the villain and went off somewhere," said one of the older fans.
"Awesome!" cried out the little kid that pointed him out earlier. "I want to be a cool hero like him when I'm older!"
Izuku resisted with every fiber of his being to hold back the 'You too can become a hero' quote and moved on to the jeweler.
Izuku went up to the counter and greeted the lady.
"Hi Auryn San, I'm here to pick up an order." Izuku began
"Umm, sure? What's the name?" she responded not recognizing him.
"Oh, sorry. I forgot about the disguise." He lifted the wig and peeled the mustache a bit: "It should be under Midoriya."
Auryn stook there in shock for a second trying to process what just happened.
"You know, at first I didn't recognize you, but in my defense I'm tired" she began. "But now that you did that, I realize how bad that costume is."
"Is it really that bad?" Asked Izuku.
"Yes." The jeweler responded without hesitation.
They move on and go through with business. Izuku finally saw the ring in person for the first time, and felt the butterflies all over again.
"I'm very happy for you and Uravity." Auryn began. "I am such a huge fan of you two. I hope for the best!"
Izuku thanked her and left after a few moments. He got back to the car and realized he had taken way more time than he had anticipated. He hurried to HQ and wasted no time to get in.
As he was entering the lobby, he received a message from The Director asking him to meet him in the Briefing sector. Deku was not running late at all, and Tsukauchi actually knew what Deku was up to this morning, so he could only assume there was new development in the Liberation Army Case.
He quickly went below and straight to the sector. Once inside, there were a few other heroes in the room as well, waiting for the rest who were called on to show up. However, once he stepped in, everyone gave him a strange look.
"Is everything all right? Why is everyone looking at me like that?" Deku asked without thinking for more than a second.
"Well, maybe it has something to do with Ron Burgundy walking in on our meeting," Shoto replied.
It took a moment for Deku to realize that he was still in disguise from when he was in town.
"Oh Crap!" Deku expressed all flustered. "I can't believe I forgot!"
"I can't Believe Icy Hot made a movie reference!?" Bakugo expressed equally shocked.
