The Boy Who Loved Candy

CHAPTER FOURTEEN:

Evergreen orbs scanned around the busy street as a wide grin threatened to split his face in two as familiar figure emerged from the crowd. Izuku dashed over to him as he wrapped his slender arms around his torso, nuzzling into his chest as Shinso chuckled as he stumbled back a couple steps, "This greeting is an improvement, I'm not on the ground this time. It's nice to see you, sweet-tooth."

A faint pink decorated Shinso's cheeks as he leant down to hide his face in Izuku's green locks, arms lazily wrapped around the smaller boy. The fluttering of butterflies in his stomach and the soothing warm sensations that warmed his insides like consuming a freshly brewed coffee – these sensations are something he could lose himself in. It was comforting. It was almost similar to the feeling of returning home or to family after being away for a long time. He adored that feeling. Alongside the sweet scent that lingered around the green boy was something that he would not tire over.

It was intoxicating.

Slender arms gradually uncoiled as evergreen beamed up at the taller teen – flashing him a grin so bright that it was blinding – his emerald orbs sparkling with a childish admiration and something sharp, something slightly darker but it was extinguished with the fluttering of his long lashes. Izuku's soft voice caressed him as a hand reach up to cup an ivory cheek, thumb brushing lightly over the dark bags beneath his eyes, "I'm trying my best to not break you with my excitable behavior! Now, come along! We have a date and kitties to meet!"

The greenette entwined their fingers as he was pulled into a store, not having enough time to take in the buildings external appearance as his nose was assaulted with the alluring smell of pastries and the rich bitter scent of coffee. Shinso released a faint sigh at the almost familiar scent as he was continuously dragged to the back of the small shop to a separate room that was decorated with warm oak wood tables and benches, fresh flowers and plants littered the room in varying sized pots and vases. The faint floral smell was almost completed drowned out by the other sweet scents that the café produced. Izuku gently pushed him onto a bench, his eyes crinkling with mischief as he sat down next to him, giving his hand a firm squeeze.

"I've wanted to come to this café for a while now," Izuku's gaze was glued to their conjoined hands as his other slowly and tentatively brushed over Shinso's forearm to his bicep where he hugged the arm to his chest, "I planned to ask you before the sports festival, but I chickened out. I'm really… glad you agreed, tho."

Shinso's felt the heat rise to his cheeks as he softly squeezed Izuku's hand in return, his thumb running over the greenette's. A fond smile curled at his thin lips as basked in one another presents, barely even noticing when someone made their way over to the table. "Excuse me, are you two ready to order?"

A slight giggled part Izuku's lips as he gave the waiter a charming smile, his emerald orbs taking in her mundane appearance as he adverted his gaze to quickly scanned his eyes over the menu, "I'd like a chocolate milkshake with a slice of red velvet cake. What about you Toshi~?"

Shinso flushed a bright crimson as he cleared his throat, trying to will away the redness from his pale cheeks, "Ah, just an ice coffee would be fine."

"Okay, your order will be done in a couple minutes." His crimson cheeks had cooled down to a slight pink as he tensed slightly when he felt something brush against his leg. His amethyst orbs quickly darted to the ground where he saw a beautiful feline who was a plain beige colour with milk chocolate paws that looked like the magnificent creature had be walking in deep mud puddles. He cooed at the adorable cat that released content purrs when Shinso scratched at her chin and rubbed her head. He could feel his insides melting to mush as he lifted the cat onto his lap, running his fingers over the silky short hair.

Izuku released a string of giggles as he watched Shinso interact with the cat, how his eyes lit up like polished gems and as a wide smile curled at his thin lips to reveal his pearly white teeth. He was nearly jealous of how the cat made Shinso look like he had received the best gift on Christmas day, although Izuku's soft giggles had snapped Shinso out of his trance as his bright eyes looked at him. The purple haired teen's smile softened as Izuku's freckled cheeks flushed at the fond look that was directed at him, it made his insides flutter like thousands of butterflies in his belly. And, for the first time, Izuku was nearly overwhelmed with emotions that crashed into him like fierce wave against rocky cliffs, his heart felt like it had stuttered in his chest as his emerald orbs drunk in the sight before him. Messy fluffy lilac hair, soft porcelain flesh that was practically hidden by the grey turtleneck sweater that hugged his thin form, glistening amethyst orbs that were framed with thick lashes and dark bags that hug his bottom lids.

Izuku hadn't realized that he was reaching towards the other, gently caressing the other's jawline and then cheeks, slowly leaning towards the other as he got lost in the polished purple orbs that were swirling with ardor. Izuku's tongue ran across his bottom lip as his eyes fluttered closed, his lashes brushing against his freckles cheeks as he felt Shinso's breath fan across his lips. He brushed his thumbs over the purple hair teen's cheeks, hands drifting from his cheeks to his soft lilac hair where he combed his finger's through his locks. He inhaled almost shakily as he felt his lips brush against Shinso's, it sent a spark down his spine that caused gooseflesh to breath out on his skin. His cheeks burned a bright crimson as he was so close to kissing this beautiful man.

His heart thundered in his ears as slender fingers gently cupped his face, pulling him closer as their lips met one another, the spark that had jolted down his spine now buzzed with electricity as it coursed through his veins. His mind went completely blank as their lips moved against one another in an attentively but passionate manner. They gently pulled apart, enraptured emerald staring into passionate purple as flushed decorated both of their cheeks as grin contorted their lips upward.

"Uh, here is… Here's your order." The woman awkwardly stood to the side as she sat down the two drinks and slice of cake before quickly walking away, a faint squeal leaving her lips as she left. A soft giggled bubbled from Izuku's lips as he pulled away, grabbing his chocolate milkshake, and sipping at the sweet treat.

The purple hair teen gently stroked the sleeping cat's back as he grabbed his coffee, taking a small sip of the bitter liquid before softly speaking, "Sooo, I heard that because of the missing students, they're planning on moving other students into class 1-A, though I'm not sure if it's going to be temporary or not. However, anyone who did well at the sports festival has a chance at getting in. So, what if it is you? Would you join the hero course?"

"No, I have no interest in being a hero. I have a different dream." Izuku gradually swirled his straw in his milkshake, smiling almost lazily at the other as his eyes flared with a hidden amusement and curiosity at the surprised expression that contorted Shinso's features.

"Wait, you don't want to be a hero?" Purple orbs stared at the smaller of the two with curiosity as the greenette took a sip of his chocolate milkshake.

"Nope, I want to run a confectionary and maybe make my own candy. I did want to be a hero, when I was younger, I still slightly do but I'd like to build myself a business. Would you like to try some candy I've made, I'm still trying to get the flavoring right…" Izuku beamed as he dug in pocket and pulled out a small handful of blue wrapped candies, unravelling one to reveal a small brown sphere which he placed it on his tongue. His emerald orbs flashed in excitement as the purple haired teen grabbed his own.

Slowly unwrapping the treat and placing it in his mouth as he released a pleased hum, "This is quite nice, it's a chocolate-based candy with a hint of something else…"

A giggle parted Izuku's rosy lips as he leaned forward, eyes flaring with mischief as he place a finger over Shinso's mouth, "Yes, it is chocolate based but the after taste is something I'm trying to fix. How about mixing some blood orange with it? Do you like chocolate and oranges?"

Izuku hummed as he forked a mouth of red velvet cake in his mouth, emerald orbs watching Shinso carefully as the teen shrugged his shoulders, "I don't mind the combination, but it's not one of my favourite mixes."

"Understandable, personally I'll eat anything that's sweet, maybe even you~" Izuku cooed at Shinso, who nearly choked on his drink. A giggled rumbled in his chest at the bright flush that painted the purple teen's cheeks and ears.

The remnants of their date went on smoothly as they spent another half hour playing with the cats, before Izuku payed and they left covered in cat hair. A wide grin stretched Izuku's lips as he Shinso's arm to his chest, leaning against him as walked around for a bit enjoying one another company before Izuku's phone went off.

Emerald orbs turned on his phone and noticed he had a message from Shigaraki needing him back now. A heavy sigh parted his lips as he wrapped his arms loosely around Shinso's neck, pulling the taller teen closer to his height, "I have to head home now, the boss of the house wants me home. I had a lovely time and I hope we get to go on another date soon~"

Izuku pressed his lips against Shinso's in a soft and fond kiss before squeezing the teen once more in an embrace before pulling away, saying goodbye to the taller teen as he turned and began his trek home. Slipping into a dark alley as he pulled out his phone as he was about to called Kurogiri to pick him up, however, his phone was knocked out of his hand as he pushed into a wall.

"Look what we have here, a pretty little thing~" The man purred as he Izuku's orbs widened at the three-man towering over his small frame. Izuku's eyes darted around seeing if anyone was close enough to help him but did not see anyone, he almost let out a giggle as he looked towards the ground pressing his back further into the alley wall. He could easily get rid of these disgusting men; they didn't deserve to be here. He felt his candy quirk flare underneath his skin as he began to shake, a faint whimper leaving his lip as he felt a calloused hand roughly caress his face.

"P-please don't hurt me… Please don't…" Izuku had tears cascading down his cheeks as the group of three surrounded him, one of the thugs roughly grabbed a hold of his mint green locks, harshly pulling his head back as the thugs other arm wrapped around his waist, firmly pressing Izuku's small frame to the man's larger one. A whimper left his rosy lips as the group chuckled, snake like eyes narrowed as a forked tongue darted out of his mouth, licking across Izuku's freckled cheek leaving a trail of saliva that began to burn his skin.

"Sssh, just let us have our fun and it'll be over before you know it, princess." The man's voice was low and basically dripped in a sadistic lust as the other two figures moved forward to begin undoing and pulling Izuku's clothing off. However, before they could remove Izuku's shorts, he let slip a slight giggle as the know silent alley became eerily quiet.

A voice like silky velvet caressed the mans' ears as a bright pink glow emerged from Izuku's hands, both hands firmly clasped onto one of the arms of both males undressing him, "Got ya~"

The two grown man released a scream before they quickly morphed into sickly coloured spheres, the man holding Izuku quickly pushed him away as the greenette huffed as hit the ground harshly. A frown twisting his lips downward as he stared up at the snake like man, "Ow, that was rude you know mister. Not very nice pushing me."

Izuku slowly rose to his feet as his emerald orbs dulled, an impossible wide grin contorting his lips as he outstretched his hands towards the stranger, giggling, "Weren't you going to have some fun with me~? Can I have some fun with you~?"

The teen lunged towards the man, wrapping his glowing hand around the man's arm who tried to hit Izuku away but not being able to as he quickly swirled into a murky green sphere. Izuku's eyes flashed dangerously as he picked up the three murky coloured pieces of candy and his phone, quickly dialling Kurogiri to pick him up before looking at the three pieces of candy, whispering to them, "I hope this was the fun you ask for because it's only just begun~"
