Our hand dealt (bakudeku/dekubaku)

-5-

      After the plane ride Deku was exhausted. He couldn't sleep or eat on the plane for fear of getting sick. All the nerves got to him. I mean he had only been on a plane once.
     Deku left the plane and found his bag. He called a cab and they left. In the car he realize nothing looked the same. New buildings were built. Old building were gone. Even the park he and Bakugo played at when they were younger was gone and turned into a gymnasium.
     "So kid" the cab driver said "have you been here before?"
    "When I was younger" Deku replied "I'm finally coming home"
    "Your family must be worried" the driver replied
    "They're not" Deku said bluntly stopping the conversation from continuing.
      The driver thought it was weird that Dekus family wasn't worried. I mean Deku looked like he was 16 not 18.
    Eventually they arrived at the apartments and Deku got out. He didn't say anything and just payed the driver and took his stuff.
    The way up to his apartment was a little difficult, mainly because he was carrying his suitcase and there was no elevator. Deku looked around quickly and noticed no one was around. Deku activated his quirk and jumped up to his building.
     'Those stairs are gonna be a pain' he thought.
He had to be all the way up on the 6th floor. Of course he didn't want to walk those stairs but if he got caught using his quirk that would be hell.
   
     After deku unlocked his room he explored the apartment. Something about it seemed familiar but he couldn't exactly figure it out. He pushed the thought to the side and walked to his room. The room wasn't very big but it worked. After all he didn't need a big place.
     Deku spent a few hours unpacking and figuring out the layout of the apartment. After he finished he decided he wanted food so he got dressed in a decent outfit and went out. He searched the town one store after another to figure out where everything was. Eventually he found a store that looked familiar to him. A store that he used to go to a lot with his mother.
 
      He walked into the store and searched around. Nothing too important in there. It was definitely different though. The cafe that used to be in the store was now turned into a restaurant.
     Deku was hungry, so he went into the restaurant. There was families sitting together laughing and having a good time. That hurt Deku, not physically but mentally. It hurt him that he couldn't have a proper dinner with his mom. That he couldn't hug her and tell her he loved her anymore.
     "Sir," a lady said snapping Deku out of his thoughts "are you going to eat here or are you going to get it to go"
    "To go" Deku replied. He couldn't bear the thought of eating alone in a public place while everyone else around him was with someone.
     "Ok what would you like to eat?" The lady asked
    "What do yall have?" Deku asked looking at the lady. She had long lilac color hair. It reminded him of Eri. The lady's eyes were a bright blue, it was like the color of the sky in day time.
     "Here I'll give you the menu and a few minutes to figure out what you want" she said smiling and handing him the menu.
     Deku took the menu and looked over it as she walked away. Deku finally decided, after a few minutes, that he wanted sushi. He hadn't had it in a while and thought it would be good.
    The lady came back and took Dekus order. A few minutes later she came back with a bag in her hand and handed it to him. He paid and walked out.
    On his way out he ran into someone. He wanted to scream at them and tell them to get out of his way but he was new. He had to be nice.
    "Oh I'm sorry I wasn't watching wear I was going" Deku said brushing off his clothes.
    "It's fine" a guy said back and froze when he looked at Deku. The guy had a brown color hair and it spiked up in a way that reminded him of Kacchan.
    "Izuku...." The man said questioning himself
Deku stared at the man confused "I'm sorry do I know you?"
    "Makes sense you wouldn't remember me" the man said laughing "I'm Katsuki father. Masaru."
     "Wait Kacchan?" Deku said absent mindly.
"It's been a while since I've seen you" Masaru said excitedly "how have you been? You're about 18 now right? What are you doing here?"
     Masaru bombarded Deku with questions but Deku couldn't just leave. He had to talk to him, I mean he actually had a chance of seeing his best friend again.
   "I just moved here from London. I'm going to UA to become a hero" Deku said smiling a fake smile hoping the man wouldn't notice.
    "No way!! Katsuki is to" he said "maybe yall could meet up sometime"
     "Um yeah" Deku said a little upset.
He wasn't upset that Masaru was making plans for them. He was upset that Katsuki wasn't with him. He was upset that he couldn't see his childhood best friend at that moment. Deku had no idea what he would say to him but he would at least say hi.
     "How about we meet here tomorrow night?" Masaru suggested "I'll bring my family and we'll catch up"
    "Umm yea ok" Deku said trying to hide the happiness he was feeling.
    "What time will you be free?"
"All day. I have nothing to do" Deku laughed nervously
    "I'll see you at, let's say 7" Masaru suggested
Deku nodded in agreement and left with a wave.
     Masaru was worried in a way. The happy little child he used to know, is now this depressed looking adult. Masaru knew Deku had it rough so he didn't judge too much, but the look in dekus eyes bothered him. Deku looked like he hated everyone. Masaru did notice that Deku softened up at the mention of his son, Kacchan. Maybe seeing Kacchan would be good for Deku. Maybe it would help him get on the right path.
      While Deku was headed back to his apartment he kept thinking of tomorrow. He would see his friend again.
    Deku may have forgotten about the wish he made when he was younger but for once the universe didn't. The universe was on his side. Deku and Kacchan would meet each other again.

    Ooooooo Deku and Kacchan. Next chapter. They see each other again!!! What do you think will happen???????
      😋😋 well anyway till next time 🤞🏼
