His Twin

Seventy-one

Couple Days later

I...have not lectured All Might on his training methods, yet. But I am kinda planning to, ice I get more time or more organized with my time. I haven't even decided yet date for Hawks' interview! Good thing I didn't give him a timeline of when it will be.

I sit on my bed, waiting for Izuku to return from his work study since I finish work early Tenshi is  asleep on my lap while I run my fingers through my slightly longer hair, it's almost as long as Shoto's was before the haircut. 

We had both agreed to have the same style, that's not the hard part, Sho said that I get to choose it since when we were little he got to choose. 

I swipe through my Google search if different hair styles looking for more unisexual styles that will work for our duel hair. There are so many options but most of them I don't think will work, or I am being picky. 

I know I want hair long enough that I can do something with but not too feminine on Sho. That's all I am asking for right now.

"Hey Azula." I look up to see Izu coming through the doorway with an almost tired look on his face. "Hey, you okay?" I ask sitting up more. He shrugs "Tired I guess." he tries to smile, but I know there is more to it than tiredness.

I gently pick up Tenshi before getting up myself. "Wait here." I tell him, placing a kiss on his cheek as I walk by to put Tenshi in her crib.

"What's wrong?" I ask him as I sit down beside/behind him on the bed. The normally bright boy gives a sadden shrug, not looking at me. "Hey," I say softly, gently turning him toward me "you can talk to me. We're partners, if there is anything going on you can tell me."

"I know, just-" he pauses like he is thinking, the boy's cheek resting in my hand. After the pause, Izuku takes a light breath "Okay, have you heard of Overhaul?" he asks me, I nod, there isn't someone associated with the undergrounds that hasn't. "I ran into him today on patrol, or I saw him." he says before explaining what happened in those few minutes from when the girl that was with the villain running into Izu and Togata on patrol to the former two leaving.

By the end Izu had his head on my lap as I run my finger through his hair. "There was nothing you could do." I tell him "If you did there there might not have been a chance that any of you would've gotten out." not very encouraging, but true. "I know, but I still feel guilty about letting her go." he tells me. "I am sure it's only temporary." I say.

"Which part? The guilt or her being used by Overhaul."

"Both," I answer without a doubt "I don't think Sir Nighteye would leave a little girl in the hands of a very dangerous villain, and I think with time you will come to terms, or you'll get her back." I give him a smile that he normally give others.

I see him give a smile, a more him smiles "Thanks Azula." 

"Glad to be of service." I reply putting a kiss on his forehead, this brings more of a smile from the greenette. He takes a hold of my left hand, the one that wasn't playing with his hair, and rubs his thumb across the top of my knuckle. There's something else on his mind. I ask him if there is anything else he wants to talk about. He nods "Yeah, I'm still curious about the scars on your wrist." 

Oh. I think a bit of discomfort must've shown because Izuku starts doing his hand waving thing saying that I don't have to tell if I don't want to.
