After climbing twenty-four floors, we finally made it to the penthouse. Yuga opened the double doors, revealing a beautiful—but gaudy—interior. The walls were painted gold and the floor was rose marble. The furniture looked almost too palatial to sit on, but all of us were so exhausted he crashed in every red velvet chair we could find—breathing a sigh of relief from the comfort.
"This is as fancy as Donald Trump's bathroom!" Denki commented, sinking into the cushions.
"Oui. It's also getting quite dark. It's about time I light the scented candles~" Yuga lifted up a butane lighter and proceeded to light over fifty scented candles in the room. The blending of that many different essences was nauseating, but at least it wasn't the smell of dead rats and hobos.
As my friends relaxed in their newfound haven, I noticed Katsuki on the balcony. He had not spoken much since Yuga found us, so I knew it was really bothering him. I walked up behind him and snuck my arms around his waist and squeezed him tight.
"Yo," was all he could get out. He was so deep—he couldn't even express any words!
"What's wrong?" I asked him. "Don't you like it here?"
"Long day, I guess."
"Yeah, but you've been acting off ever since Yuga showed up. Something's wrong!"
He stared into the great unknown of the city and said, "I promised I would always protect you—and I failed."
"How so? I'm still here."
"I was showed up by a guy who wears Skechers Twinkle Toes. I keep thinking—what if he hadn't been there? I was so scared I'd hurt you with my explosion, that you almost got hurt anyway. . .or worse."
The wind blew dramatically through his hair and I swear, Yuga was playing 'Flightless Bird, American Mouth' on his cellphone Denki had just charged for him.
The song may have been cheesy, but it did make Katsuki look ten times hotter. It really set the mood.
I took Katsuki's hands in mine and interlaced our fingers. As we locked eyes, the depressing background of our beloved city destroyed enhanced his features even more. I heard the faint screeching of Nomu in the distance and explosions erupting everywhere. None of that mattered, however, because I was loved by the greatest guy in the whole world. . .or U.A. High School at least.
"It's okay, Katsuki," I comforted. "Even in the apocalypse, I've never felt safer than when I'm by your side~"
Katsuki's eyes softened at my response. He leaned in to kiss me, but saw all of our friends staring at us with their noses pressed against the plate glass. "WHY YA STARIN', STALKERS!?"
"Get a room!" they heckled.
"WE'RE ON THE BALCONY FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD!!" he yelled. "GET A LIFE!"
Katsuki stomped back in, leaving me abandoned on the balcony.
"Wait! Missing something?" I hinted.
"Oh, yeah." He returned and picked up a bag of Fritos. "Forgot my corn chips." Then went back inside.
I followed him with a groan.
"Yo, are those corn chips?" Eijiro goggled. The growling of his stomach was louder than Chewbacca.
"Don't even think about it!" Katsuki protected his bag with a sneer.
Yuga chirped, "Do not fret! There is more tortilla in here~!"
Denki then turned to Hanta who was eating tater tots on the luxurious sofa. "Yo, Sero. Gimme some of yo tots."
