Their Hot Romance (BakuDeku)

Chapter Nineteen

Katsuki wasn't surprised. Really, he wasn't. The fact that Best Jeanist swapped his patrol route after Deku asked him to is just so something he'd do! The old, one-lunged geezer was probably shipping the new development between Katsuki and Izuku, or some shit!

So there Katsuki was, walking down the street alongside Deku, who could patrol wherever he wanted because he owned his agency.

"I just thought it would be a way we could spend more time together." Izuku replied after being asked why.

Katsuki rolled his eyes. Izuku gave him a playful nudge in response. "We're working, Deku. The lives of the people come before our own. Don't fucking forget that."

"I know, Zero. But I just really wanted to see you, and this is the best way to do it. Now we can take out villains together too!" Izuku cheered with a happy grin. Katsuki scoffed, turning his head towards Ryuu to hide his very obvious blush. Izuku placed a tender kiss on his temple.

"Huh!?" A voice from across the street yelled. "Is Deku courting Ground Zero!?" Then more slowly started filtering in.

"That's so cute!"

"Ah, man! I wanted him for myself."

"But aren't they both alphas?"

"Yeah, that's a little odd..."

"Who cares!? They're, like, perfect for each other!"

"Maybe they're fated mates!"

"That's gross!"

"Those don't exist!"

"Two alphas together is a little scandalous..."

"They're going to get a lot of hate."

"It's okay, Kacchan." Izuku whispered into his ear. Katsuki hadn't even noticed he'd started slipping into his own mind again, but those three words from Izuku pulled him back like he was attached to a rope. "Don't listen to them."

Katsuki nodded his head. He reached down, petting Ryuu's head as they walked along. He focused on his own breathing while tuning out the words of those who passed by.

Their walk continued on through the streets. Izuku talked about this and that to him, and he just focused on his voice as well as the brush of Ryuu against his leg.

They walked around until lunch. Izuku invited Katsuki to a nearby fast food place, and Katsuki obliged. He wasn't going to pass up food. The pair ordered what they wanted then took a seat at a booth, sitting across from one another.

"So, Kacchan. Is there anything new going on in your life?" Izuku asked with a tender, sweet smile.

"Just this, I guess." He motioned between them as a small blush covered his ears. Izuku blushed as well. "Started with your damn smell. Then I had a... y'know, and fucking Dunce had to help me through it while muttering that stupid nickname."

Izuku's blush darkened.

"So it took a bit for it to really sink in that I've caught fucking feelings for the same nerd that used to follow me around, but I could never get rid of because you're a fucking leech." Katsuki said with a wide grin.

Izuku chuckled softly. "I've always known I liked you as more than just a friend. I've liked you like that since we were small. But I never thought we'd be where we are now, and soon to be a lot closer come Friday."

"Tell me about it." Katsuki whispered with a scoff. He couldn't really believe it either. "You're, uh... you're gonna have to try to be a little gentle on the first day, okay? I've never, um..." A dark blush came over Katsuki's face, ears, and neck. "I've never, y'know..."
