Izuku's POV

"Izuku, I've closed up the shop." I heard a knock on the doorframe of my workshop, I look up to see one of my employees standing there with her purse on her shoulder.

"You should take a break, the others and I are going out for drinks. You should come with us, and get out of this stuffy old room for once." She joked with a smile on her face.

"No thank you, I hope you have a wonderful time." I tell her with a timid smile, as I set my new hat I was working on back on top of the workbench I'm seated at.

"All right, if you insist." She says as she walks back towards the front of the store. One of my other employees suddenly rushed past my doorframe and smushed herself up against the window.

"Look! It's Katsuki's Castle!" She exclaimed, practically bouncing up and down in sheer excitement. The other girls suddenly rush to the window as well and start girlishly giggling.

"I wonder if this means that Katsuki's in town?" One girl asked.

"Look, the Castle is hiding from the soldiers."

"Hey, did you hear? Remember Martha, from South Haven? They say that Katsuki tore her heart out."

"How scary..."

"Don't worry, he's not going to want yours, Katsuki only steals the hearts of pretty girls." They all giggled together before walking back to the door.

A few minutes later I hear a latch and stand up, brushing the excess thread off of my pants. I slung my bag over my shoulder and headed out of my shop as well, and decided to go and pay my friend a visit at the bakery that she works at. Walking down the cobblestone street, I pass numerous cars and shops, and houses. Including people walking their pets, or children playing with toys. Just an average, ordinary day in my town, including all of the military planes flying in the sky, and the amount of soldiers walking around the streets. As I hop on one of the trolleys, I notice horns and instruments and what sounds like large crowds.

"There must be a parade today." I mumble to myself as I look at the town around me. Getting off of the trolley, I start walking down alleyways to get to my destination. I'm not really watching where I'm going, so of course trouble decides to find me in the form of two wayward and drunken soldiers.

"Hey, looks like a little mouse lost his way." One soldier says lewdly, leaning his forearm against the brick wall that was now touching my back.

"No, I'm not lost." I say back to them.

"I think he's kind of cute for a mouse." The other one says.

"How about you join me for a cup of tea?" The first one asks me.

"No thank you, my friend is expecting me." I try to say as passively as I can, to escape from the situation that I found myself in.

"Aww, he doesn't like you, what did I tell you? Your mustache scares everyone away."

"How old are you little mouse? Do you live around here? Let's go have some fun."

"No! I said leave me alone!" I yelled. Suddenly we all heard slow, calm reverberating footsteps echoing down the alleyway, and a heavy weight is slung across my shoulder. That's when I heard the deep voice call out right next to me, and I can not believe who is standing right before my eyes.

"There you are asshole, I've been looking for you everywhere!" He practically growled at me, before taking his arm off of me and crossing them in front of his overly large...and muscled...chest.

Oh. Dear. God.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing, man? We saw him first!" One of the soldiers shouts out in frustration. But the man in front of me merely smirks, as his blonde bangs hang down to throw his eyes into shadows.

"What the fuck are you going to do about it? You looking for a fight? You're not even worth my time. Now both of you march on out of here and kindly fuck off." He says, making a gesture of walking with his hand, and suddenly the two soldiers were snapped into a type of clunky motion. As if they weren't in control of their own bodies. The complaining soldiers suddenly dissappear from our view. The man then turns his attention fully on me, and his hand grabs the back of my head by the roots of my hair, and I make a slight yelp in shock.

"Now, tell me where the fuck you were going all alone in this part of town. You looking to get mugged or something, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"N-no! I was just trying to get to my friends bakery!" I try to explain myself to this angry Wizard. But it just seems like I'm pissing him off even more, as he picks up his head to look at me, burning coals for eyes and I'm terrified yet oddly mesmerized.

"Well I guess this means I gotta escort you there now, don't I?" His lips curled into a menacing smirk, promising both mischief and violence. He leaned in closer towards me, his face almost touching mine as he spoke quieter.

"I'm being followed, so act casual." And with that he grabbed me by my right arm and drug me through different alleyways wit him. Suddenly, these sort of blob monsters appeared out of nowhere and flooded the alley at all ends. The wizard then slung my arm around his waist as he glanced at me from the corner of his eyes.

"Hold on." He said, before practically ascending into the sky, I yelled in shock and fear. But all the wizard did was let out a harsh, deep laugh at my embarrassing display.

"Now straighten your legs like you're walking, nerd." He commanded before taking off in a sprint through the air with me by his side. We passed atop roofs and chimneys, and it seemed that no one on the ground seemed to notice the two figures walking hundreds of feet above their heads.

"Okay, so maybe you aren't complete shit at this." The blonde wizard at my side sort of complimented me.

"Thank you, I guess?" I said, in confusion. Wondering if that could even truely be considered a compliment. We arrived at the balcony atop the Bakery, and he led me to stand atop of it by my hand. He released it almost ruluctantly as he stared back down on me with his piercing ember eyes.

"I'll draw them away from you, just wait a while before you decide to leave, okay?" He asked, his eyes searching my own for confirmation. He looked almost ethereal with his ash blonde hair blowing in the breeze as he literally stands on air.

"Thank you so much! Oh, and I'll wait for a while before I leave so you can lead those blob monsters away from here." I rambled on, bowing my thanks to him. There appears to be some sort of gleam in his eyes in that moment, as he smirks down at my form on the balcony. His crimson orbs scan my body from top to bottom, and I can feel the flush heat up my face and ears. We stay silent for a few moments just gazing at each other before he clears his throat and smirks at me once again.

"Good boy." He says, and with a flourish he dropped down and dissappeared back into the crowd in the street below the shop. I could feel my heart beating through my chest and inside of my ears after he is gone. That totally just happened right now.

Going downstairs in the Bakery, I see my old friend Uraraka busy with customers left and right. But once she sees me, she immediately rushes over to me and envelops me in a huge hug.

"Izukuuuuuu! What happened? Are you okay? Someone told me they saw you float down onto our balcony!" She exclaimed, gripping to me and nuzzling her face into my chest. I chuckled at her antics and grabbed her arm, asking if it was alright for her to go on break so I could tell her everything. She nodded and led me to a nearby storage room, and had us sit on a couple of large boxes.

"I was on my way here when I almost got jumped by two drunken soldiers, when out of nowhere this Wizard appeared and got them to leave me alone and then escorted me here himself. He rescued me, Ochako." I told her, almost dazed by everything that happened within the last hour.

"Izuku! You need to be more careful from now on, it's dangerous out there! They even say that the Witch of the Waste is on the prowl once more." She scolded.

"I know Ochako, I'm sorry." I said bashfully, feeling guilty for worrying my friend like that.

"You're so lucky, Izuku. If that Wizard were Katsuki, he would of eaten your heart."

"No he wouldn't, Katsuki only eats the hearts of beautiful Women. And besides, I highly doubt that he would even be interested in me, unless he's gay." U said with a laugh, watching as Uraraka let go of her pout, and started to laugh as well.

"But oh my god, let me tell you how absolutely handsome this Wizard was. He had this striking ash blonde hair, and almost ruby eyes. And he was so tall and intemidating, and brash. Everything about him was rough from his muscles, to his voice, to even his personality. If only you could have seen him, even for just a moment." I tell her, feeling the familiar thumping in my chest, as my cheeks grew flush once more. Uraraka started giggling once more, as she laid her hand on my shoulder and pushed me in a teasing way.

"You sound positively in love with him already. Does my little Izuku have a crush finally?" She practically screamed in glee, bouncing up and down.

"As if, there's no way that someone like him could ever possibly notice someone like me." I tell her with a roll of my eyes, before getting up and taking my leave. But what I didn't know, was that my life was about to change forever.
