Mafia Darling

Chapter 2

The weekend passed by in a blur for Izuku, as did most days lately. He didn't do much besides lounge around at home. He'd occasionally leave his apartment for food, but other than that he was a homebody. It was one of the reasons he had needed a job so badly, he didn't do anything. 

When Monday rolled around, he sluggishly got himself ready for his first day. He was silently hoping the whole time that he'd actually find the job enjoyable. It was kind of hard to top his last one. 

Despite what others may think, Izuku had actually enjoyed being an assassin. The good outweighed the bad mostly. He enjoyed the power he held, always being the smartest and deadliest in any given room. He liked the research, the planning, even the killing. A little bit. Call him fucked in the head, he didn't mind. 

He left his apartment with enough time to swing by and grab a coffee from the cafe down the street. Yes, the cafe that didn't hire him. They had good coffee. 

Which is how one new coworker was insanely lucky he was a highly trained assassin. A blond man, roughly the same size and build as him, had his nose stuffed in a file as he walked down the hallway. When he and Izuku rounded the same corner, they collided instantly. 

"Whoa!" the man exclaimed. 

Izuku's mind went right to saving his coffee, his arm twisting quickly. He let the cup go, just to grab it out of the air with his other hand. 

"I'm so sorry!" the stranger said after he'd steadied himself again. Izuku couldn't help but marvel at the fact the file hadn't somehow flung paper everywhere. "Are you alright?" 

Izuku wore an easy smile, trying to come off as friendly and easygoing. It'd be the best mask to wear in the workplace, it'd guarantee the highest percent of likability. "Yeah, I'm good. Even saved the coffee," he joked, shaking his cup slightly. 

"Are you new?" The man seemed to jump from topic to topic fast. His personality was way too energetic for Izuku, especially in the morning. "I'm Denki Kaminari, nice to meet you!" 

Izuku didn't hesitate to shake Kaminari's outstretched hand. "Yeah, my name's Izuku Midoriya. Nice to meet you too." 

Kaminari's smile was nearly splitting his face in half. Izuku couldn't help but wonder who could possibly be that excited to meet a new coworker.  "You're Todoroki's new assistant, right?" 

Izuku blinked at him, actually surprised by the information. "Uh, I'm the administrative assistant," he clarified. That was pretty much all the information Yaoyorozu hadn't given him the previous week. 

Kaminari chuckled at his statement. "Todoroki is the administrator. It's just a fancy title for his assistant." 

Izuku's heart dropped into his stomach. He knew that Shoto had a five hundred million bounty on his head. Fucking hell, I need to keep that motherfucker alive now? 

"Don't look so scared," Kaminari teased as he bumped Izuku in the ribs, under the impression that he was worried about his new boss. "He's not so bad, pretty quiet honestly." 

"Great," Izuku said with a forced smile. He didn't care to make it believable. His thoughts were already on finding his boss and trying to figure out how hard it would be to keep him breathing. 

It didn't take long to find the said boss. As soon as the elevator doors opened on the top floor, Izuku was greeted by a tall man, half of his hair white and the other half red. 

"Hi," Izuku greeted, a little stunned to find him standing right outside the elevator. 

"I was starting to worry you got lost," Shoto stated, looking Izuku over fully. "You're late."
