A Hero and a Villain

Scene 20: Waifu, Husbando, or Both???

[Andeddo]

Andeddo yawned and stretched his stiff limbs, opening his eyes as he took in his surroundings.

He was curled up on Hitoshi's couch, tangled up in a white cotton blanket. The apartment was quiet, aside from the refrigerator humming. It seemed he was alone.....

He sat up, pulling off his white T-shirt and laying it on the back of the couch. A flashback of the night before appeared in his mind, and his cheeks burned at the thought. "What did he mean? Was he really serious about all that?" he muttered to himself. He shook the thought out of his head, "I'll worry about that later. Right now, I need breakfast."

Andeddo slowly rose from the couch, wandering into the kitchen the next room over. After a quick inspection, he somehow managed to find a carton of vanilla almond milk, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, eggs, butter, and a large container of fresh blueberries. He also spotted a blender next to the sink.

He sure had his work cut out for him. But he wasn't one to back down from a challenge.

He tied up his hair in a small man bun, sticking a wooden chopstick through it to keep its place, and put on an apron he found in the closet. It was a bit...odd.....but he decided not to question it. Then he strapped on a pair of plastic safety goggles (don't ask where he got them, because I can't answer that) and washed his hands thoroughly, setting to work.

—Time Skip cause I'm lazy and don't want to list the entire process—

By the time Andeddo was finished, he was covered in powder, had a disaster of a messy kitchen, and ended up with two plates of blueberry pancakes and an entire canister of blueberry smoothie.

He lifted his goggles, smiling. He was proud as all high hell, because as perfect as he usually was at everything, he was a useless cook when it came to anything other than small snacks or treats. But this time it didn't turn out all that bad. Of course, he taste-tested both of them to make sure they were edible.

He was about halfway done with the process of cleaning when he heard the front door open. He poked his head into the living room to see Hitoshi walking through the doorway, fully clad in his Hero costume. He looked a little out of breath.....

Hitoshi tossed his gear onto a rack mounted next to the door, plopping down on the couch. He hadn't even noticed Andeddo yet.....

Andeddo smiled, grabbing the frying pan he used to make the pancakes. As hard as he could, he slammed it into the metal rim of the sink, and busted out laughing when Hitoshi's head nearly hit the ceiling.

"THE HELL WAS THAT!" Andeddo held back a giggle, "Oh, sorry. I was making breakfast and I dropped the pan." Hitoshi gave him a flat, tired look, "Yeah, there's no way in hell I would believe that." "Well, at least I tried. So where were you?" Andeddo asked plainly. "Hero work. Chargebolt needed some backup with a villain break in at the power plant downtown. He managed to fry himself halfway through the battle, so I had to take the villain down myself." Andeddo chuckled, "Sounds like you had a pretty rough day."

Hitoshi shrugged and  Andeddo stepped out of the kitchen into view, a smug grin plastered across his face, "Need some fuel?" Hitoshi's face turned red when he saw Andeddo, no doubt because he was shirtless and wearing a pink frilly apron.

Andeddo flipped the pan and caught it mid-air, "You hungry?" Hitoshi's stomach audibly growled in reply, and he blushed, "Uh.....I guess that's a yes." Andeddo walked back into the kitchen and picked up the two trays he'd set up, balancing one on each hand. He set them on the counter and then took out the dark chocolate syrup he'd found in the door of the fridge, drizzling hearts on each of the pancakes. He always had to be just a little extra.

He called Hitoshi over, and he was amazing when he saw the spread. Andeddo grinned at him, beaming with pride, "How'd I do?" Hitoshi nodded in admiration, "Pretty damn good. What's with all the blueberries?" Andeddo chuckled, "Well, I gathered that you liked blueberries....."

Hitoshi stared at him for a while, and Andeddo shifted nervously, "What?" The corners of Hitoshi's mouth curled into a smile, "You've changed..... Before today, I'd never seen you genuinely enjoy yourself. You're so much more energetic.....are you sure you're really a villain?"

Andeddo's eyes darkened slightly, "On days like these, maybe not." His expression turned hopeful, "So...uh...about last night..." Hitoshi flinched, his face turning red, "What about last night?" Andeddo twirled the string of the apron around his finger, "Is.....is it official?"

Hitoshi jumped with a start, "W-What do you mean?!" Andeddo blushed carnation pink, "Does.....that mean you feel the same way?" Hitoshi stared at him with wide eyes, "Same wAY?!" Andeddo sighed exasperatedly, "Oh, for God's sake, I'm asking if you like me back, genius." "BaCk?!" Hitoshi nearly screeched.

Andeddo facepalmed, "Shinso, oh my God. You're going to make me say it, aren't you?" Hitoshi was silent, and Andeddo looked him dead in the eye, "Shinso Hitoshi, will you be my boyfriend?"

[Shinso]

He actually did it. He actually popped the question. Out loud. And he was dead serious about it.

There he was, standing there shirtless in a sexy pink apron, with handmade pancakes covered in chocolate hearts, staring at Hitoshi with his gorgeous green irises shining like jade stones.

"Shinso Hitoshi, will you be my boyfriend?"

The words struck true, freezing time and matter as his heart throbbed wildly in his chest. His blood was pumping so hard he could feel it pounding in his head. His thoughts were running at a thousand miles per our, his body growing hotter by the second. The feeling was intoxicating.

The last time he'd felt something like this was during his fight with Izuku at the Sports Festival. But back then, he was fueled by determination and rage. This time was different.

Everything went still, and suddenly his mind was completely clear. He knew exactly what he wanted to say.

"Y-Yes. Of course."

The world came back into focus, and Andeddo was smiling, no doubt in relief, "That's good to hear, then." Hitoshi sighed, shaking the fuzz out of his head.

What the hell just happened?

Hitoshi smiled and walked over, sitting down at the counter. Andeddo sat with him, and they gazed at each other thankfully, picking up their utensils and digging in together.

Hitoshi's eyes widened when he took the first bite. "Hot damn! This is amazing! You made this?!" Andeddo looked very surprised, "Uh...yeah. Is it really that good?" "DUDE, THIS IS THE BEST PANCAKE I'VE EVER HAD!" Andeddo blushed happily, looking away, "Aw...thanks. I've always been terrible at cooking."

The tension from earlier melted away as they ate, laughing over jokes and stories late into the night.
