The Undying Boy

16: THE OLDER BROTHER AND RELATIONSHIPS

It was two days after New Year, Izuku decided to go grocery shopping, it was not too late, but it was dark and the roads were pretty empty.

Izuku heard a faint noise from an alley, curiosity taking the best of him he peeks, "I was waiting for you." A deep voice came, one that Izuku understood easily from who it was.

"This is our fourth meeting now, Chizome Akaguro." Izuku said, coming into full view of the vigilante, "I see that you followed my advice and are not killing more heroes." 

"The best way to change society is by causing no deaths, nor threaten civilians, right?" Izuku nodded, "Anyway, I'm here because of this." Stain drops something in front of Izuku.

"This is a person?" Izuku asks, not really sure of what it is. 

"That kid doesn't belong in the dark. Burning villains for the heck of it, but not touching civilians, I met the kid some times now, he doesn't belong in this place." Stain said, as the person on the ground groaned.

"If he killed someone, you know I can't really take him in, right?"

"Don't worry, he sent every criminal he met to a station, anonymously, he didn't kill until now." Izuku sighs in relief.

"I will be going now." Stain finishes leaving without waiting for a response.

Izuku noticing that, takes some steps forward, looking at the man on the ground, he tapped the black haired guy. The guy groans again, Izuku gave up and just decided to get him on his back and take him to the cafe.

Once in the cafe Izuku laid the guy on the sofa, now taking in his details as they appeared in the light of the cafe, the 'kid' had pitch black hair, burn scars under his eyes, and a massive one that was ear to ear and only finished in his collar-bone, checking for wounds Izuku discovered some more in his arms.

Why so hurt? Is it from his quirk? Body not compatible with the quirk? Izuku thought has he bandaged the kid, even if Izuku thought of him as a kid was at least 18, and from what Izuku could see, his skin was being hold by crude surgical staples or hoop piercings.

Izuku was preparing some easy to eat food, for the passed out guy when he woke up, He got up fast, "Where am I!?" He demanded, blue flames appearing in his body, that were extinguished fast, by the grumpy man, on the other corner of the room, that was trying to work.

Izuku approached him, a kind smile on his face, "Nice to see that you are awake, a... Friend left you in my care, said that you don't belong on the dark side of society." Izuku says, making the grumpy man rise an eyebrow.

The guy did not relax at all, keeping his guard up at all times, Izuku handed him his food, the black haired young man took in his surroundings, "Why am I in a cafe?"

Izuku chuckled, "From now on, if possible you will be our new employee." He said, making the young man skint his eyes.

"Who do you want me to kill?" The guy was not kidding.

"No no no no," Izuku waved his arms in a defensive manner, "You will be working here."

"Why?"

"Unfortunately, you don't have much choice, you will work here, or I will need to hand you to the authorities, the up side is that after 2 years you can go!" Izuku informed.

He squinted harder, "Why?"

"Pay your fine." Izuku said, making the young man's eyes go wide.

"What is my job?"

"For the next three months, you will be learning the ropes of the job by being an attendant and helping in the kitchen." Izuku let the information sink in, "After you will be on the counter, taking the orders and attending the clients."
