Chapter 2
Friday
POV: Izuku
It's been so slow for being close to the weekend! Usually there's at least a few pickpockets around trying to benefit from people's paydays. Of course the day I have my first date would drag on!
"Huh?" A crunching sound and shouting came from around the street corner up ahead. I activated Full Cowl and shot over to the commotion.
A villain had smashed the front of a modest looking car. "Come on! I know you have to have money!"He growled as he pounded his fists on the hood and flicked a strong, lizard-like tail. The man inside trembled, "I-I'm sorry! I just spent what I had on an engagement ring! Please don't hurt me!"
"DELAWARE SMASH!" I flicked my finger shooting a wave of air pressure knocking the lizard villain away from the car. Analyzing the guy, he very clearly has a mutation type quirk that boosts his strength and damage resistance. And it makes him look a lot like an overgrown iguana.
"Aw come on! There's already a hero here! Guess it's your lucky day tightwad!" Lizard man remarked as he stood and dusted himself off and turned to run. "Oh no you don't!" I shouted after him. I summoned Blackwhip and reeled the villain towards me.
The police should be here any second to take the man into custody. I could hear a crowd of people saying my hero name. I turned my head to the crowd and smiled with a thumbs up, "I am here!" The crowd cheered and sirens approached.
"Alright hero Deku, we can handle this guy from here. Thank you for you work! This guy had recently escaped from a crime scene in a different ward. His name is Shishido Hiroya. We think he may be linked to several robberies and some assaults." The officer speaking to me gave a polite bow and proceeded to cuff the villain.
I gave a small bow in return. "I'm doing my duty as a hero to protect the people. I'm always happy to help." I posed for a couple pictures and signed a few autographs. That helped pass some time! Only a few minutes left of my patrol before I can go home to clean up. I'm really hoping my mask is hiding the very serious blush I have.
POV: Ochaco
"Why did I let my hair get so long!?" I've never been very good at styling it. I must have been so busy near the end of school that I kept putting it in a ponytail or bun and didn't even notice! Mina sent me dozens of YouTube videos, but they were all above my skill level. I ended up putting my hair up with a nice clip.
My makeup was simple. Just a light smokey eye and petal pink lipstick on top of the basics. Mina was very proud of the necklace. It's a gold choker that has a moon charm on the front, but the back has cascading delicate chains with little star charms. It accents the open back of the halter dress.
Alright! Heels are on and I'm feeling pretty good about how I'm looking! I'm ready. I'm ready to stop hiding my feelings! I don't know for sure what his intentions are for meeting me tonight but, "Let's do this!"
POV: Hiroya
The cop who cuffed me is calling in to the radio operator, "We have a suspect in custody. Hero capture. Minor damage to a civilian's property. We're bringing him in now." Like hell.
There's only 2 officers here. I got this. "Is this how you treat a man just trying to make a living? How rude!" I willed toxin out of my venom gland and shot it straight to the eyes of the officer escorting me towards his vehicle. He went down fast, clutching at his face. I doubt that hero knew about my venom, but he still managed to stay just out of range.
The other officer who had been taking statements rushed to his partner. The people gathered scrambled for safety. He pulled his gun but I was faster. I swept his legs with my tail, and grabbed the gun from his hand and tossed it under a nearby car. "Can't have you following me, now can I?" I couldn't help the grin on my face as I planted my foot on his hip and grabbed his foot to hyperextend his knee. CRUNCH. "Sorry I couldn't come over for tea boys, I already have plans tonight."
I grabbed the key off the policeman and manipulate it with my tail to unlock the cuffs. "That's so much better! They weren't really my size."
I flick out my tongue. "Ah, there you are. Mr. Deku, you barely introduced yourself. We really should get to know one another."
POV: Izuku
Uraraka sent me the address for the ramen shop. I'm almost ready to go, just gotta get this tie tied…crap! "How am I still bad at this?" Well, I may be going without it unless I want to be late. That's more modern, fashionable anyway right?
The slate gray dress pants, black dress shoes, and white button up shirt should be enough I think. I tousled my mostly dry hair and was out the door. The restaurant is pretty close so I should be on time without too much of a rush.
Rounding the corner I could see her waiting in front. Oh, oh no. How did she get even more beautiful in just a few months? Am I already blushing? She turned her head. I've been spotted and there's no going back now. "Oh! Hey! You're already here! I'm glad nothing major came up during your patrol," she beamed.
She walked over to me, "It's really good to see you again Deku. I missed you a lot these last few months." Maybe if I don't look directly at her, she won't notice my face is on fire. "I-I've missed y-you too Uraraka-San." A giggle. The best giggle on earth. "Uh, you CAN call me Ochaco you know? I've only been asking you to for years now." Gah! What are my arms even doing?! Trying to hide my face? I'm just making it more obvious! "O-ok. O-Ochaco."
I might explode. Am I dead? I think I'm dead.
POV: Ochaco
Alright, so far so good. I haven't blushed so hard you can see it from space yet. But he is absolutely not playing fair! Did he not wear a tie so he could leave the top of his shirt unbuttoned on purpose? You can clearly see how muscular he is! And as much as I always adored his fluffy, bush of hair, his new haircut really highlights how masculine his jaw has gotten.
"Do you want to head in now?" He smiled at me and held his arm out, clearly intending for me to hook my own into. And there it is. I have gone supernova. Forget just seeing me from space. You could see me from another galaxy!
POV: Hiroya
I won't be so bold this time. Not until I've learned a little more about you, my new friend. "Ah, have a pretty lady friend do you? That could make things easier. Let's just see." Every person has a weak point. You just have to be patient enough to figure it out.
Have a lovely date hero…
Ok! We're getting rolling now. I was going to wait longer to write Ch. 2, but the fact that the 1st chapter even got views sort of spurred me on! I'm glad that so many are enjoying this so far. Thank you all for reading!
