BNHA AU Little Bedtime Stories

Satisfied (Tododeku, Izuocha)

Tododeku warning! No hate pls! We're all family and nice people here. (I guess a bit of dekuxuraraka....?)

This is it. The day has come. The day my sister gets married. It's kind of ironic that she gets married before me. I'm the oldest, normally I would do things first. But now there she goes, into married life before me. There were a lot of people in the room. I kept looking around, trying to see if Mina didn't get into trouble, my other little sister. I was beside Ochako, trying to eat something while everyone was in animated conversations. I've had given permission to Mina to go wherever she wanted.

I was nervous. Not because my sister was about to begin one of her biggest part of life, though I was nervous for that. No, that night, I was nervous for my little toast. I shouldn't have been nervous, it was really small. It was mostly his eyes that kept my hands all sweaty. It's just a little speech, I kept thinking, nothing more.

"All right, all right, that's what I'm talking about!" boomed Kirishima, one of Izuku's man of honor. "Now everyone, give it up for the man of honor!" he said as he turned to me. "Shoto Schuyler!"

I took a deep breath. It's time.

"A toast to the groom," I said, raising my glass. He was looking at me, smiling. I took another deep breath to calm myself down. "To the bride." I continued, glancing at my sister. She was also smiling. I smiled at her. "From your brother." I could feeling my eyes tearing up. "Who is always by your side." I smiled at the newlyweds.

"To your union!"

"To the revolution!" yelled someone in the crowd. The people laughed a bit. I cleared my throat, pushing back the tears.

"And the hope that you provide," I said, glancing at my glass of champagne. Some chuckles were heard in the big crowd.

"May you always," I looked into those eyes as I raised my glass, "be satisfied."

He looked at me, his eyes showing terror. Those determined eyes I saw that night. My sister looking helpless. The room crowded. Memories started filling my vision. Fast-paced, everything was fast-paced. I'm drowning, drowning in them. I remember that night. That night, the greatest night. The ball, the people, the actions, the words said. I might regret that night for the rest of my days.

I remember those soldier boys, and some girls might I add, the one fighting for us, for our country. They were trying to win our praises. I couldn't care less, as long as I had an eye on my sisters. I just smiled at those soldiers, trying to kept up the status. The candles were illuminating the room, like a dreamless dream. Praises and praises, compliments after compliments, jokes and laughter. But Izuku, I'll never forget the first time I saw your face.

To be quite honest, I have never been the same. Your intelligent eyes in an hunger prang-frame. Those green eyes of determination. When you came close and said "Hi," I forgot my dang name. I felt ashamed and blushing. How can this boy make me feel all of that? You set my heart in flames, every part aflame, but this is not a game. You tried to begin a conversation.

"You strike me as a man who has never been satisfied," you said casually.

"I don't know what you mean," I replied stubbornly. "Go forget yourself."

But you stayed and continued.

"You are like me, I'm never satisfied," you confessed to me, a total stranger. I smirked at you.

"Is that right?"

"I have never been satisfied."

You looked almost disappointed. As if life hadn't gave you its most precious treasure.
