Izuku and His Dragon Maid

Chapter 11-Battle Trials, But Can I Be...A Hero Like Him?!

Izuku slowly opened his eyes, due to the annoying amount of light that was filtering through his bedroom, and directly hitting his eyes. He rubbed the sleep out of them and looked over to the other side of his bed. It lacked a certain someone; so he looked to his door to see it slightly ajar. He looked through the crack, and saw Tohru, already in her maids outfit and dusting something. He heard the rising volume of a tea kettle whistling, which caused Tohru to tend to whatever type of tea she was making. Izuku blinked once, then twice, and swung his leg over the side of his bed before grabbing his phone. He turned it on and looked at the time and date, it was 6:48 and the 4th of August. Why today of all days he thought as he stood up, stretching as he did. He wore gray sweatpants to bed last night, but had to take them off in order to get dressed in his uniform for school.

   After about seven or so minutes, Izuku walked out of his room to see Tohru sitting on the couch, a still piping hot cup of tea rested on the coffee table in front of her. But she was clutching something with an odd shape, and so Izuku tried to peer over her shoulder, until the floor creaked beneath him. Tohru quickly hid the thing and turned around to look at Izuku, "I didn't know you were awake Izuku." She nervously said, "how did you sleep?"

   Izuku scratches the back of his neck, "pretty good," he said. He yawned, "by the way, what did you just set to your side, I'm curious?" A bead of sweat appeared on her face, and slowly rolled down. "It's...it's nothing for you to see. Kanna just wanted me to make her something for her friend," she seemed to be anxious, because she was tapping her foot against the floor. "Oh, well thanks for taking care of her Tohru." He walked until he was next to her, and sat down, surprisingly the object wasn't there.

   "Who's her friend anyway?" Tohru's foot stopped tapping, she seemed to freeze up, "uhm, it's Saikawa...I believe." She quickly muttered the last part, "What was that, Tohru? I couldn't hear you," Izuku grinned smugly, knowing that he had caught her in what was most likely a tiny lie. "I said her friend's name was Saikawa, nothing but that, Izu~" He hung his head low, he was hoping to see what she was making. He leaned in and gave her a peck on the cheek before standing up.

   "I'm gonna make some breakfast before I leave, you want any?" Tohru shook her head, "I made some omurice for you, it should be on the counter next to the stovetop." She said, letting out a sigh of relief as Izuku walked away. She grabbed the object from between her thigh and the couch, and used some teleportation magic to move it into Izuku's room. She followed Izuku, who was somehow already sitting at the table with the dish of food she made earlier, and sat down opposite of him.

Tohru believed she had moved the object into his closet, but she didn't really know where it was since she moved it in a hurry. Izuku sighed, "so who is this Saikawa anyway, and how come Kanna hasn't told me about her friend?" Izuku took his fork and cut into the omurice, steam poured out of it as he lifted it up to his mouth and took a bite. He melted into it because it was delicious, "I don't really know, I thought she would've already told you..." Tohru responded; her tail stirred a bit as she waited for Izuku's reaction to her food. "Hmm, this is really great Tohru, probably better than I could make." Izuku said with a smile growing on his lips, it only grew because of how excited Tohru looked after he said this.

"Thank you Izuku," behind her the door to Kanna's room opened, and Kanna came out of it with her yellow cap for school on. "Good Morning Kanna-Chan! Are you already ready for school?" Tohru said as she turned around and followed Kanna—with her eyes—as she walked over to Izuku's side and tugged on his sleeve. He looked down in a fake confusion, "Did something just tug on my sleeve Tohru? I don't think there's anything here," Kanna puffed up her cheek. "It's me Izuku-Kun, I tugged on your sleeve." She said cutely, "Oh Kanna! I didn't see you there. Good morning," he laid his hand down on her head. "So, I've heard that you made a friend," she nodded her head and Izuku's eyes lit up. "That's amazing to hear Kanna! I'm proud of you," her face became brighter because of Izuku's recognition.
