You Need Saving, Too

Chapter Twenty

CHAPTER TWENTY
Enchanted

Izuku feels so lucky.

Todoroki Shouto is in front of him, smiling and sharing dinner with him. Everyone in the restaurant looked at Izuku with so much envy- so much jealousy. Todoroki Shouto may be once married, but with his wife gone, he's good as a bachelor for everyone. Plus the fact that he's an alpha, a pro-hero, and an overall sweetheart. How can anyone not fall for this man?

And Izuku feels so lucky, because the very man he never knew would want him, want him. But still, Izuku cannot help but feel jealous. Everyone just wants Shouto.

"Are you okay?" Shouto asked him, tilting his head and reaching out for Izuku's hand on the table. Izuku only smiled, appreciating the gesture. His eyes were looking everywhere. He can feel everyone bore holes into his skin. "Do you want to dance?" Shouto asked him again, this time his smile bigger, and his hold on Izuku's hand tighter.

"I- Uh..." before Izuku could answer, Shouto was up to his feet, dragging him to the dance floor. Shouto guided Izuku's arms to his neck and the alpha's hands to Izuku's waist. They sway to the rhythm the band is playing. Izuku sighed, leaning into Shouto, listening to the alpha's heartbeats. "Thank you."

"Don't mind them." Shouto answered, confirming Izuku's hunches that the alpha knew he's concerns. "I only got my eyes on you." Shouto smiled, scenting Izuku.

Izuku melted into him, contented.

It's not long since they had danced in the night, Shouto and Izuku confessing to each other. After two weeks of pull and push of skinship and I like yous and kisses, here they are, on their very first date, finally .

Shouto came up with the plan four days ago, while they were in Izuku's room, the kids were already sleeping in their rooms. If Izuku would be honest, he never thought how casual it was, sleeping next to each other, occupying each other's beds. It was natural, as if they are craving for each other.

"Go on a date with me." Shouto declared. "We should at least have a night outside the house to ourselves." he added, as a matter of factly.

"What about the kids?" Izuku inquired, his right brow perking up, challenging Shouto.

"Let's leave them with Momo. They love the kids." Shouto said eagerly.

Izuku chuckled, "Okay, I will." happily agreeing to the date. Shouto beamed. And Izuku can't help but think he had thought about everything already. "Ah, right." He exclaimed, seating up and rummaging through his desk.

Once he found it, he showed it to Shouto. Shouto blinked, eyeing the new earpiece. Shouto had wanted to change its color to green, saying it's Izuku's colors and Izuku is his partner on the job. "Ah-" Shouto's eyes gleamed, taking the new support item.

"And look!" Izuku excitedly said, showing Shouto Shouto's old earpiece. "They are mine now." He declared happily, showing the bicolored earpiece on his ears. "Now, we have each other's colors!"

Shouto laughed and launched himself to the omega. "Thank you." Shouto nuzzled onto him, scenting him.

Izuku came back to the present when he heard Shouto, "My Mom wanted to meet you." Shouto stated, still swaying with the music. Izuku's eyes widened in an instant, looking at Shouto. Shouto chuckled, "The kids kept telling Mom about you."

"I hope they say good things about me." Izuku stated, collapsing on Shouto's chest. Shouto hugged him more, still dancing, chuckling. "Should I meet her?"

Shouto nodded happily, "She'll love you." He reassured Izuku.

In the two weeks of their relationship, only the time when Hitoshi-kun came to visit did they have an argument. But, not like an argument, argument . More like Shouto having tantrums because Hitoshi-kun knows Izuku longer than he did. The alpha can be a bit... immature whenever Izuku is the topic.
