The walk to the dinner was a strange one. Both knew that they felt the same but neither attempted to make any more moves to the other, afraid of ruining the moment; so they settled with holding hands the whole way there.
Nearly halfway there, Izuku realized that he managed to confess appropriately to Tsuyu without stuttering once. He felt... proud. Proud of his accomplishments and proud that he was now holding hands with a girl he never knew he cared deeply for. Had he felt this way a long time? Maybe subconsciously but he wasn't going to question it right now.
After running these thoughts through his head, he felt a gentle squeeze of the hand from Tsuyu as she glanced up at him. "I think we're here, Izuku." The green haired girl stated as she points to the glowing sign of the restaurant named Yakisoba.
"O-oh. That was quick," He says with a slim smile then leads her inside, "let's try to get hibachi seating, hm?" Izuku tells her happily as they walk inside.
She nods and was immediately hit by a waft of Japanese cuisine from every angle the second they walked inside. She felt the insides of her mouth water but she kept it closed, not wanting to look awkward in front of her date. Date, that's what this is now. At first she just expected this to be a friendly outing but now that they confessed, it's most likely more. But she just needs to make sure.
As they were seating in front of the stove top, next to a small family of five, Izuku felt a slight tug of his sleeve and turned to Tsuyu. "Hm? Wussup, Tsu?" He asks calmly, sliding a menu to her.
She stays quiet for a bit, poking her fingers a bit then looked at him."I was wondering... if this was a date now..." she says flatly, a small blush growing on her face.
Izuku felt his chest tighten again but he shook it off and stared down at the table, holding his hands together. "I-I wouldn't m-mind," he stops to take a slow breath then smiles, "b-but if it's ok with you, this can be." He said with a soft smile.
Tsuyu stares back at him and gently rests her head on his shoulder, smiling. "I'd like that, Izuku. I'd like that a lot." She says calmly before the waiter came to take everyone's order.
~Time skip line~
Izuku and Tsuyu were full from the chicken and fish feast they just enjoyed. Exiting the restaurant, Tsuyu clinged onto Izuku's arm and wore a content smile. "Thank you for today Izuku. It was a lot of fun."
He felt his face fluster a bit from her holding his arms but nodded his head in agreement. "You're w-welcome, Tsu." He checked his watch and a sad sigh escaped his lips, catching Tsuyu's attention.
"It's 10 o'clock. I guess I should take you home now?..." Izuku tried to give her a smile, but that was short lived by a sad frown.
Tsuyu's grip on his arm lightened and she nodded. "I guess so... at least we had some fun, right Izu?" She blushes a bit from the nickname she gave him but stays smiling none the less.
He blushes from the nickname as well and just nods. "Yeah. At least we had fun. So um... let's get going before it gets too late, eh?" He suggests and holds his arm out for her to hold.
Nodding, she takes his arm and stays close to him, leaning against him to embrace his warmth.
As they were walking along, Tsuyu looked at the passing houses. They were prepared for the winter season, with lights, ornaments, floats and giant trees outside their homes. Christmas was a lovely holiday and she thoroughly enjoyed the sights, even if she hated this sudden cold weather. Shuddering, she pulls herself closer to Izuku instinctively and absorbs his warmth.
Feeling the chill as well, he felt even more determined to get her home quicker, whilst keeping her warm in his arm. The holiday lights were beautiful though. "The lights look amazing down here. I'm surprised it hasn't snowed yet with h-how cold it is." Izuku laughs in between shivers.
"I'm agreeing w-with you there, Izu..." she shudders a bit and sees her neighborhood entrance. "Oh good. Almost home. C'mon!" Tsuyu grabs Izuku's hand and runs with him all the way home, both freezing to death.
Izuku tried to keep up with the frog-quirk girl but kept stumbling until they eventually made it to her home. It was a small house, big enough for a small family but only she lives there now. "I've n-never been here before. I thought you lived in an apartment." Izuku said shivering madly as Tsuyu hurriedly unlocked her door and yanked him inside.
As Tsuyu removed her sandals, she advised him to do the same before sighing from the warmth in her home. "I was going to but my parents gave me this house since they left after we graduated. I'd say this is really lucky for me at least." She smiles her usual smile and looks around. "O-oh, um. I should thank you for bringing me home, ribbit. I don't want to keep you longer than you have to." She said as she gave Izuku a solemn stare.
He shook his head and smiled at her. "Heh, I can stay for a bit longer if you're ok with that. I'd rather not go back out in that cold just yet." He nods his head to the window giving them a view of her small backyard.
"It's ok with me, make yourself at home, Izu." She says before turning around and walking towards a back room. "U-um... if you don't mind... i'd like to shower real quick. You can help yourself to the Tv if you want." She says over her shoulder as she enters the room.
Izuku sits down on the couch and looks around the room as he turns on the TV. Nothing of interest was really on, but he just did this to kill time. "She does have a nice place here. Wish I could buy a house. An apartment is ok, but i'd love to own a house like this one day." He told himself, mentally noting that down as a goal. "And maybe even start a family. Who knows... but I also want to be a hero still. It's quite fun, really. Hard work but fun." Izuku adds on, hearing the shower turn on and then heard Tsuyu yell his name.
"Oh..?" He gets up and walks to the room before realizing what could happen. 'What if she's indecent! I can't look at her like that! But she's probably in need of my help! Just walk in there dammit!' He screamed at himself internally as he knocked on the bathroom door. "Y-yeah, Tsuyu? What is it?"
"I um..." she opens the door narrowly to stick her head out. "I forgot my towel. Can you grab me one from the closet over there?" She asked shyly, clearly a little embarrassed.
Izuku's face was a faint tint of red, knowing that she was naked on the other side of the door. "U-uh yeah, sure," he opens the closet quickly and grabs a random towel, "this one good?"
She reaches her arm out and grabs the towel and quickly pulls it back in. "It's fine. Thank you Izuku." She smiled and quickly closed the door, the sound of her feet hitting the shower floor was confirmation that she was ok now.
Exhaling, he felt his skin return back to his regular beige color and he left the room quickly, sitting back on the couch. "Oh gosh... why was I thinking of that. She's... she's my friend. We aren't dating yet... even if we both like each other. Right? But... but will she be ok with dating? Oh man..." he began his infamous mutter and continued it until the sound of the shower shutting off snapped him out of it.
Tsuyu's wet footsteps padded against the floor slowly behind the door and stopped, rustling inside after then silence again. A ribbit. Silence. Muttering. Silence. Then the door opened to Tsuyu wearing a baggy t-shirt and black and pink plaid sweats. Her hair was untied from the bow and was hanging over her shoulders and was a tad messy from drying.
"Sorry I took so long, Izu... kinda forgot I had company over somehow." She chuckled a bit and sat next to the green haired man.
"It's ok. I think I can leave now if you want me to. I wouldn't want to impose anymore!" He shook his hand a bit and smiled his usual smile: the one filled with nervousness and happiness.
Tsuyu looked down a bit and sighed. "Oh, it was fine if you stayed... i just didn't have an extra bed since my family left and took their belongings and furniture. So I can understand why, heheh." She smiles a bit but Izuku was blushing.
"W-wait. So if I stayed w-we would... sleep... t-together..?" He stuttered again, not even trying to control it this time.
Tsuyu felt her face heat up and looked down again. "N-no. I could always... sleep on the couch if you wanted to stay. Besides... it would be weird to sleep together if we're not even dating, right..?" She joked, then stared at Izuku smiling.
"Y-y-yeah. We a-aren't dating... yet, aren't we?" He smiled and stared back.
"Yeah..." she replied and kept the stare intact.
Their eyes were locked for a brief moment before Izuku looked down. "....so um.... I guess I-I should be the... o-one to ask..." he began but started to fidget in place.
Tsuyu scooted closer to him and her eyes were wide with anticipation. "Ask me... what?"
He felt his face reach levels of heat that could burn down the house if his body wasn't the only thing stopping it. "W-well... after today, I have t-thought about... a-about d-d-dating... and I..." he felt his body shake.
His old nerves were kicking back in from highschool. 'No no! Stop body please! I want to at least clear the water with her about this!' He yelled internally before feeling a soft hand land on his. Looking up, he was greeted with a patient, yet equally nervous smile from Tsuyu. "It's ok Izu. Just... tell me what you want to ask."
'Is he going to ask what I want him to ask? Something I've wanted him to ask me for so long?' This thought raced through her head as Izuku smiled shakily back at her.
"Ok... So Tsuyu... will..." he began and swallows down 'all' his stress and locked eyes with her finally. "Will you... be my... girlfriend?" He managed to squeak out of his shaking mouth, his hands shaking even under Tsuyu's calm ones.
He was expecting the worse, strangely enough. Even though he knew Tsuyu wasn't like that, he still had major doubts, but now was too late. He said those words and now he would suffer the conse-
"Yes." She said bluntly, clearly trying to stay calm.
"W-wait really? I-I mean, I kinda knew you would s-say yes but... it still surprises me..." he said quietly and felt Tsuyu's head rest against his shoulder.
"Well... I already confessed my feelings right? So there shouldn't have been a reason to worry, Izu." Tsuyu claims, nuzzling up into him.
The frog quirk girl's warm body pressing against Izuku's sent his mind into blazes. Even though she did this literally a few minutes ago on the way home, he just felt that was to keep warm, while this one is pure emotion. "I-I-I know but-" he stopped himself quickly as he felt her arms wrap around his waist, obviously wanting the hug back in return.
'Ok, Izuku. You got this. If you can fight villains ad save the world, you can hug your girlfriend... my girlfriend. I have a girlfriend.' He told himself and looked back down at her. His shaking arms slowly raised up and steadily enveloped the frog hero into a hug as well.
Tsuyu could feel his heart beating a million beats a minute and she just laughed softly. "You too? I thought only I was the over excited one." She said, albeit muffled from his shirt.
Izuku just nodded and kept hugging her, wanting to avoid speaking incase he'd ruin the moment between them.
After a while, Tsuyu pulled out of the hug and looked up at him. "You should shower. I don't think my family left any clothes for you though..." she put her finger up to her lip and began to think. "Actually. I have a robe. It might be small but it's better than nothing."
"A-A robe?? B-but I don't have any spare undergarments! A-and what if it is small!? I'll b-be indecent in front of you!" He panicked until she just smiled at him.
"I got it. I can run the laundry and wash your clothes for you as you shower. It'll take a bit but I think that's the best we can do right now, unless you want to wear my underwear." She said bluntly, not saying it to put any thoughts in his head that weren't impure.
But that's what Izuku got instead. His face flushed a deep red and he covered his face. "T-T-TSUYU! W-why would you r-recommend t-that!?" He began to trip over his words and rambled in a panic.
Tsuyu blushed brightly and she covered her mouth. "Oh my! Sorry, you should know I just speak whats on my mind! Please j-just shower and leave your clothes on my bed. I-i'll take care of them quickly! The r-robe is in the bathroom!" She quickly got up and ran to the laundry room.
Izuku did the same except he booked it to the restroom, got undressed and threw his clothes on her bed, quickly hopping into the shower and holding himself. "Oh my god I panicked again! I've gotten so much better and now I just blew it! I embarrassed her again!" He rocked back and forth in the shower as the warm water his his back.
Tsuyu entered her room and saw his clothes sitting on her bed. The sight of them on her bed triggered dirty thoughts in her head and she blushed madly again, grabbing his clothes and taking them into the laundry room. Before she put his shirt in, she quickly put it up to her face and gently smelled it. His scent was strong, a mixture of cologne, a bit of sweat and even the detergent was still strong on there. She loved it then shook her head. "Oh god i'm going crazy. Chill, Tsu. You're acting very strange." She told herself and tossed his clothes in the washer for a quick wash.
Leaving the room, she heard the shower stop then his heavy footsteps a bit after. 'Please fit. Pleas fit. Please fit.' She thought over and over about the robe. When Izuku entered her line of sight, she blushed once more and turned her face a bit. He tied the robe around his waist as a skirt and left his chest bare. He was absolutely ripped! She knew that but never saw it this close in person.
"I-Izu... your c-clothes will be done in 10 minutes at least..." she said quickly and nervously, glancing at his chest from the corner of her eye.
He was clearly just as embarrassed and looked around the house. "T-thanks, Tsu... where... can I sit? Even tied around my waist... it's still a bit revealing." He said nervously, rubbing the back of his head.
She just pointed to the couch and waited for him to sit there. After he did, she sat next to him and kept her face looking ahead, even though her eyes were else were. "Izuku... you're practically naked..." she finally said after the few seconds of silence.
He tensed up and looked away. "D-don't remind me. Once my clothes are done i'll just quickly throw then back on."
She turned her head slowly to him as he looked away. Unknowing to her, she found her hands slowly rising to his chest. His muscles were so defined and she just wanted to touch them so badly. So badly that she even found her mouth watering. "Jeeze..." she muttered quietly, invoking a quick look from a beetroot red Izuku.
"W-what's wrong? S-should I cover up-"
"No!" She quickly yells then shuts her mouth.
"No... it's fine." She quickly adds then looks away, hoping for the washer to go off already so she could be distracted.
Sadly, it still had a few more minutes. Hesitantly, she turned back around to Izuku who was just staring at her. She locked eyes with him and during this moment, Izuku felt a feeling he hasn't felt before. Or at least in a long long time. It made him happy when he locked gazes with her, yet sick when he looked away from her. "Tsuyu..."
"Yes, Izuku..?" She responds quietly, keeping the gaze locked.
He raised his arms slowly at first them pulled them around her, wrapping then tightly around Tsuyu's body then pulled her close to him.
Tsuyu almost knew exactly how Mineta felt whenever he saw the girls back in class. She couldn't keep her hands off of his chest. Her hands explored almost ever muscle on his body during this hug and she even noticed how they felt like pillows when he was relaxed.
Regrettably, she even found her eyes wandering a bit lower than they should be. The robe wasn't that tight. She could easily just... pull and remove it. But she won't. She's not like that and the thought of violating him like that made her hate herself for even considering it.
Izuku was doing the same except with his hands. He found them wandering her slim yet curved body. She was amazingly toned in her arms and waist, but his mind drew a blank as he didn't notice them going a bit too low. Recognizing the unfamiliar territory, he quickly drew them back and resumed the hug.
After what felt like hours, the two stopped hugging when the washer went off, startling them both. "Oh, thats right. Your clothes." She chuckled then got up and walked away, changing then from washer to dryer.
As she walked off, Izuku just observed her body. What he felt wasn't that visible from far away. Her muscles were'y even visible period at a distance. Just smooth, lady-like arms... and her curves got his heart racing way too quickly. He wasn't complaining either, but he hated himself. He didn't want to observe her appearances the way he did. He wanted to respect her, even if she wasn't aware of his staring.
"O-oh Tsuyu." He began, getting the attention of the green haired lass.
"Yeah, Izu? What do you need?"
"Where will I be sleeping now? The Couch or do you perhaps have a inflatable mattress." He asked, standing up and quickly catching the robe as it slid down a tiny bit.
She turned back to him and shrugged. "I'd like to sleep with you. The couch isn't too comfy to sleep on and... we..." she stopped and realized what she said. "B-but if you want we can a-arrange something in a bit."
Izuku and Tsuyu were both shocked as ti what he said next. "I... I can sleep with you... would be easier that way anyway." He shut his mouth and felt sweat bead down his forehead.
Tsuyu just stared at him and smiled. "I guess so, huh, ribbit?" She asked and laughed it off. "Alright. Hope you don't snore, Izu." She joked and threw him his now dried underwear.
"I don't think jeans would be a comfy sleeping material, especially if you'll be with me." She smiled and blushed a bit, still flustered that he'd be sleeping with her in a few short minutes.
Clenching the robe and underwear, he nodded his head and ran into the room, changing into the underwear, then just walked back out and sat on the couch again.
"Ok, Izu. I think 11:40 is a good time to call it a night, hm?" She asked him, glancing at the half naked man on the couch.
"Y-yeah. I guess so." He stood up awkwardly and followed Tsuyu to the bed.
She flipped the sheets open and slid inside them, her back towards his side as he slid in next to her. "S-sorry if I touch you in the night. I-I haven't s-slept with anyone before." Izuku said nervously, tucking his whole body under the sheets.
Tsuyu just reached over and held his hand, pulling it over to her on her belly. "It's ok. Just hold onto me during the night though... ok?" She said a bit quietly, keeping her back turned.
Izuku was bright red but just nodded and pulled himself behind her, wrapping both arms around her.
"G-good night Tsu." He said quietly.
"Good night, Izu..." she responded tiredly, placing her hand on his and falling asleep along with him.
Wow. This. Took. Forever. But it was worth it (I hope!) Sorry for the wait! I had writers block (wasn't just being lazy) and decided to finish up this chapter with some extra fluff, y'know? Who knows though... there might be a Lemon in the future... or maybe not ;)
