Together (TodoDeku)

Chapter 19

I woke up the next morning warm. 

I look and see Izuku and me in the same position we had fell asleep in. I wrap my arms around him tighter. Not wanting to ever get out of bed. Soon I felt his arms tighten and his head moved. Izuku looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back and gave him a small kiss. 

He then goes back to cuddling with me, "What time is your interview?" I ask him. 

"Noon, it's Sunday so they're closed." he said. I look over to the desk where an old clock lay. It was only 9. We had time. I lean down and kiss him deeply. We pull back for a second and Izuku gives me a kiss on the chin. I unwrap my arms from Izuku's waist and crawl on top of him. I look down at him as Izuku smiles up at me. I kiss Izuku once more, going on longer than the previous. 

Izuku hummed happily into the kiss. I try to pull back but am stopped by Izuku grabbing the back of my neck and continuing to kiss me; Izuku pushing his tongue into my mouth. I moan quietly as Izuku began to take control of the kiss. He pushed his hands into my already messy hair, reminder I had just woken up. 

He finally pulls back, saliva on the bottom of his lip. He widely smiles up at me.

"I love kissing you." Izuku said with a blush. I smile also and kiss him again. Izuku pulls me down completely so my chest was pressed against his.

"You're heavy." he said when we stopped kissing. 

"Are you calling me fat?" I said. 

"Yes." Izuku pushes me over and climbs on top of me, "I'm not." 

I hug my light boyfriend as we just lay there. 

(hehehe timeu skipeu)

We stood at the door of the tavern. I look over at Izuku, he had a nervous look on his face. 

"You'll be fine. If you're half as good as your mother's cooking you'll be perfect." I told him, he looks at me and gives me a small smile. He squeezes my hand before letting it go and walking in. I wave as he enters the door. 

He told me it'd take only about two hours. 

I had two hours to myself. I haven't exactly had alone time not chosen in a while. I stood there looking around. Not know what to do. 

Something I can do in two hours, so I can be back to pick up Izuku. 

After a few minutes I was hit with boredom. I stared up at the sky. I give up on thinking up ideas and decided wandering back home was a best idea. I hadn't exactly seen all of the home, there was a basement we barely glanced at. It was a locked door.

"Most likely empty." Momo said. 

Once I was back at the wooden home I make way for the basement, maybe there was a key in the house? I look around the door. As I stepped I heard a creek. I look down at a loose board. I pull it up to reveal a key. I grin in accomplishment.

 Right when I open the door a musty smell hits my nose, I grimace at the old smell. I begin my journey down the stone stairs into the dark. At the foot of the stairs was a dingy lantern that I lit with old matches sat next to it.

The light dimly lit a room filled with cobwebs and dust. Among the dust and spiders boxes and old chairs sat. I guess I had something to do. I saunter over to the boxes opening the closest one. I look through them, they were in a language I couldn't decipher. The only languages I know are English and Latin, this looked like Latin but if it was the words made no sense at all. No illustrations could aid me in finding out what the papers in this box meant. 

In confusion I sit down the mysterious papers, pushing the box to the side. I go over to the next boxes. Most of them were in the strange writing. Until I finally found an illustration. I was far back in the room so I walk over to the lamp to see the paper better. 

My confusion was just added to even more. 

The picture depicted a man, the man looked in pain. Whoever drew this wanted the viewers to know he was in pain. Next to the main was a drawing of some sort of power, the labels of everything was in the illegible language. I look at the man. Something of him looked familiar. 

The man was drawn to show dark hair, shadows or scars were on his face and arms. Why he looks familiar eluded me. Deja vu? 

I flip through the papers, there was writing on almost everything but there was a few illustrations of the man. One he looked scared, another plain, angry, tired... all emotions most people don't enjoy. The powder was next to all, each powder looking slightly different. One seeming crystallized, some liquid almost and others just the powder. Did these powders all have these emotional effects on this man?

I walk back to the box and set the papers down.

I view onto a locked box. An unsettling feeling rising into my chest. I felt like I shouldn't be seeing this. There was a reason this room was locked. A reason this box was locked. One half of me said to search for the key while another wanted to return back to Izuku. 

All the flooring was stone so the key wouldn't be under the floor. I look, the boxes and chairs were all that were in there. I go over to the chairs. Old wooden chairs. I set my sights on a book that sat on one of the chairs. 

The dusted book was written in the same language as before. 

What is this language. 

I flip through pages, stopping when I saw the powder substance I recognized. There seemed to be directions underneath it. Was this like a cook book for this absurd stuff?

I pause when I saw an illustration that showed a man covered in burn like scars. My hand immediately runs up to the scar on my face. They look similar, but don't all burns? 

I didn't remember how I got my scar. My mother insisted it was a birthmark, that was until I found pictures of a younger me, scarless. Maybe the pain was bad enough to make me forget and my mother didn't want to relive whatever happened to me. 

Whenever I brought it up my mother would go spiraling so I didn't want to ever press her farther. I wish I could ask her again. 

I shut the book. I go over to the lantern and blow out the light, I make my way up the stairs from the strange room. i quickly make it out of the cottage, as if it was unsettling now. 

I start as a brisk walk that soon turns into a run from the house. My head pounding for a reason unknown to me. I run all the way to the tavern. I waited outside not to long until Izuku walked out with Mina. A smile on his face. 

I walk up to him my breath rigid from running. 

"Todo, are you okay?" he asks putting his hand on my chest, feeling my racing heart. 

"Yeah, I just went for a run." I reassure him. 

"Well don't run away cause Izuku is now our cook!" Mina exclaimed making Izuku light up and smile at me. 

I just smile back at my happy lover, wanting to forget about the room in our basement. 

(Dannnngggg we getting a plot now :))
