Heart-Strings

CH 5

Izumi checked her phone. The time was 7:47.

"Almost 8."

She looked at Shouto who was resting next to her while breathing slightly heavy.

She smiled. Her face slightly flushed again when she thought of what happened that morning.

"Thank you again Shouto-kun. I think I might have ended up on the bed again, had you not come."

She gave a slight smile, a bit embarrassed.

Shouto glanced at her and gave a nod. "Anytime, I didn't mind."

"I'm sure you didn't." She said with a bit of giggle.

He was too nice for his own good

But who was she to say? She, as many people would say, is too outgoing and friendly.

She shivered slightly.

"Now it wants to be cold." She thought with a bit of helplessness

Shouto noticed and realised that he still had his quirk activated. "Sorry, are you cold?"

He deactivated his quirk.

She blinked and smiled as she realised.

"Just a bit, but thanks to your quirk I didn't get heat overload." She chuckled.

"Besides I can just use my quirk to warm me up again, even though it will tire me out slightly." She complained a bit at the end.

"Hm."

Shouto nodded as he made a short humming sound.

"Would you mind if I used my quirk to warm you up?" He asked, remembering what had happened before.

The thought itself made him feel slightly embarrassed.

"Ah, I forgot you had 2 quirks. Yes, I wouldn't mind at all!" A bright smile came up to her face.

Shouto nodded as he smiled a bit.

Contagious smile.

He chuckled in his mind at the small thought.

He came up to her and touched her cheeks with his hands.

He had not gone for her forehead this time because the heat might do damage, rather than good.

He doesn't quite know how to use his fathers quirk as much since he rarely used it.

He uses it only for absolutely necessary things.

He chuckled in his mind as he realised he did something unexpected of him again.

He never thought he would live to see the light of him offering to use his father's quirk on something as simple as warming someone up.

Izumi smiled, probably for the 100th time that day.

"Thanks Shouto. Your quirks are really amazing."

She said softly as she felt herself loosening up and laying her face in the palms of Shouto's hand.

Something she did that, and still does, when her mother calms her down with whatever other quirk she has.

His quirks.

She said that two times.

He smiled at that, as he realised something.

He looked at Izumi to nod, only to realise what she was doing.

Izumi quickly lifted her face off his palms and rubbed her cheeks, which turned a bit rosy, to ease the pain of heat.
