It Will Come Back | AiDeku fanfic

4 - needy thing.

At 6:30 on the dot, Shota was outside Izuku's window balancing on the fire escape, Izuku was still fast asleep curled up with a pillow Shota used to replace himself. He smiled looking back into the room to see Junior perched up on the windowsill watching him, the small kitten had followed him around the room as he got dressed and ready to leave. He quickly snapped a picture of himself balancing on the fire escape and sent it to Izuku before jumping off and disappearing into the early morning hues.

Izuku woke up slowly, beams of sun peaking past his curtain where Shota had hastily pulled it closed. He grumbled to himself subconsciously turning to cuddle up with Shota only to open his eyes and find a pillow in Shota's place. Frowning he flopped onto his back and rubbed his eyes, did he really just get sad at the realization that Shota left? He told him to. Why did he feel a pit forming in his stomach as he felt Shota's side of the bed had long gone cold?

Shaking those thoughts from his head he rolled out of bed, grabbed his phone, and went to raid the kitchen. Walking into the small kitchen he was greeted by his mother who had a mischievous grin on her face.

"What?" Izuku asked his eyebrows furrowed, he watched as Inko's grin widened.

"Who'd you have in your room last night?" She questioned cheekily and Izuku choked on air, his cheeks heated up and he avoided eye contact.

"What are you talking about? I didn't have anyone in my room," Izuku turned to look in the cupboard for a mug, deciding that ignoring the look Inko was shooting him would save him.

"Mhm, and you just had your door locked all night because you wanted to." She teased, she knew damn well Izuku never locked his door unless he was either with someone or doing something he didn't want Inko to see.

"I fell asleep and forgot to unlock it, I didn't have anyone in there." Izuku defended pouring himself a cup of coffee, he chanced a look over his shoulder only to see his mother looking unimpressed with his lying.

"Izuku, don't lie to your mother." She deadpanned and Izuku groaned placing the coffee pot back in its spot.

"Just a friend," Izuku grumbled moving to grab the creamer and milk out of the fridge.

"Do I get to know this "friend"'s name?" Inko pried, she was a gossip and loved to hear everything going on in Izuku's life, "is this also the "friend" that gave you all those hickeys?"

"I'm not talking about this!" Izuku shouted walking out of the kitchen mug in hand, Inko giggled at her son's embarrassed behavior as it completely gave him away.

"Wear protection!" She shouted to Izuku and laughed harder when Izuku groaned and flipped her off.

Monday came and went with an aggressive amount of questions about Izuku's date with Kara. By the end of the day, Izuku was nonverbal and glaring at anyone who approached him. Tuesday was calmer, his friends had worn themselves out the day before and decided to leave him alone for the most part.

"You're seriously not going on a second date?" Uraraka asked at lunch and Izuku had to physically stop himself from slamming his head against the table.

"We discussed this yesterday, I'm not going on another date so fucking drop it Ochako," Izuku growled grabbing his tray of food and standing up. Uraraka gaped at him as he walked away, throwing his half-eaten lunch in the trash as he went. He honestly had no idea where he was going, he just let his feet guide him wherever they pleased.

After 5 minutes Izuku ended up in a deserted hallway on one of the higher floors. He took a seat on one of the window sills and inhaled deeply as he leaned back against the large glass pane.
