Happily, Tai converses with the schoolgirls going about their weekend, gushing, gawking at the hero rookie before them happily munching on his food which he happily offers to said girls just as a car drives by them.
"I can't believe we're talking to a real hero!" Squealing, the blushing high schooler squeals.
"Heh…thanks but I'm no All Might." Meekly, he scratches the back of his head only then to jolt up at the sharp squeak of a car. But he ignores it happy to talk to the civilians while enjoying his food that is until…
"Oh my gosh she's so pretty!" Surprised, Fatgum flinches from one of the girl's gushes.
"Hey isn't she a model?" Her friend asks as Fatgum munches on his food.
"Yeah I think I saw her on a magazine once!" She adds.
"Wait a minute wasn't she at the sports festival!?" The other gasps as Fatgum finally turns to face the girl, the girls who were once gushing at him were now gushing about only then for his own bright yellows to widen, feeling his throat dry up, choke up at the sight of the goddess before him almost as he stares stunned at her. He feels an ice cool breeze brush against his cheek lightly slapping him trying to snap him out of his stare as he shakes his head, a ruby red tint coming to his cheeks at the thought of gaping at the student at someone so young at that. But he just couldn't help it, she was gorgeous. The teasing touch of the wind that once tousled his wild blonde roots causes the girl to shiver, tucking a stray strand of brown behind her ear making Fatgum internally scream at the cute sight.
"Yeah she was the winner!" Stunned, Fatgum's eyes widen when seeing the girl before him, recognising the high school uniform of U.A anywhere, the elite of the elite school for heroes. He remembered her well on the festival, she was amazing, she blasted away robots without a second thought! Excitement flows through Fatgum's veins at the sight of her at the prospect of working with someone with such an amazing quirk, he feels a blistering blush cross his cheeks without even realizing it, his feet move. He had no idea what had happened all he knew was that he had to meet her, he had to introduce himself, he had to be friends with her.
"Hmm Katsu?" Groaning, Taishiro grumbles, slowly opening his eyelids looking up at the ceiling his vision blurry from the trip down memory lane. He winces at the sore sensation of his neck, craning it from left to right. He stands up, his brow furrowed when taking note of the lightness on his chest turning to look down, his features faltering, a sharp pang of disappointment swelling in his chest at the lack of a certain bombastic brunette on his chest.
Sighing, he stands up from the sofa, he had remembered sleeping on top of her guess he must have moved in his sleep. Eh, Taishiro brushes it off releasing a wide huge yawn as he stands up scratching the back of his neck once more then his stomach. He makes his way into the kitchen stopping briefly faltering from the mirror his eyes widening when seeing the mirror long gone bringing a small shy smile to Tai's lips at the sight.
He shakes his head chuckling lowly under his breath before making his way into the kitchen where his gold expand at the sight before him, he looms over the table seeing the foiled up food on display. His soften smile widens when seeing the food for him, seeing a note attached to it.
Went out, made food for you. Heat it up for a few minutes. He reads it making him shake his head as he then perks up at the sound of the door opening.
"Oh you're up." Katsu's eyes widen when seeing Tai whose gold widen when seeing her attire, noting how stylish she looked even in her hero form, no matter where she went to Tai she always looked so stylish even on patrol he'd notice a fair few eyes on her he didn't know if she did it on purpose or not but honestly, he wished he could be as stylish as her sometimes….
"Yep!" Chirpily, he smiles as he notes the bag on the table, curiosity getting the best of him yet as he leans towards the bag his hand greedily grabbing it but…
"You haven't eaten it yet." Annoyed, Katsumi sharply slaps his hand back making him squeak slightly, cradling his arm alarmed at her sharp scowl.
"I wanted to eat it with you." Happily, Taishiro smiles unfazed by the light hit.
"I'm not really hungry." Sighing, Katsu grimaces, a dark look in her eyes making Tai furrow his brow.
"Have you eaten anything?" Gently, Taishiro places his hand on her shoulder clearly concerned for her, had she had her meds today? Maybe that was the reason, he knew she didn't eat often but sometimes that could be a factor for it whether it be due to not remembering or the stomach issues she'd get from time to time…
"I drank coffee…" Sighing, Katsu offers as a weak defence.
"Katsu you can't just drunk coffee." Frowning, Tai crosses his arms over his chest, brow furrowed firmly.
"I don't know it works normally." Feebly, Katsu shrugs glancing to the side.
"Come on eat." Tai tells her, placing his hand on her back having her take a seat as he then approaches the microwave, hearing the ding of it as it pops open, the food now warm and ready for the day.
"You're not going to let this go unless I eat aren't you?" Grumbling, she huffs glaring as he sets the utensils down.
"Aw you know me so well." Happily, he smiles gathering up some food from his fork offering it to her.
"Urgh…I ain't a brat!" Annoyed, she snaps chomping down on the fork like a fierce feral creature only making Fatgum chuckle at the sight that many would see as lovey dovey if not for the chain chomp on the other side of the table.
"Amazing breakfast Katsu." Impressed, Tai tells her.
"It's nothing really." She sighs, furrowing her brow at him, she made it for him now that they split it, it barely covered for them both, she supposed they could get something when they went out.
"You kidding me this is superb, amazing." Animatedly, Tai gushes cheering raising his hands in the air as Katsumi scowls, a ruby red tint to her cheeks only deepening.
"Stoop with the compliments." Scowling, she snaps at him as he drapes his arms over her side.
"I'm just saying how it is." Joyfully, he hugs her as she practically drags his tall lanky form as if he were a cape.
"Yeah well here." Sternly, she shoves a bag to his chest, the one from before.
"Huh?" Tai blurts out wide eyed at the sight of the bag befuddled.
"Get changed." Curtly, she commands him.
"What?" Tai repeats still lost.
"We're going to get you some clothes. Ones that fit for slim." She tells him.
"But this may not last." He argues.
"That doesn't mean you shouldn't have sizes just in case. Not to mention you can't wear your hero get up you need more than that." Truthfully, she tells him.
"But I like baggy clothes." Meekly, he bows his head.
"Tai I love baggy clothes too but you need to prepare for when a situation like this happens again your clothes could slip off during an investigation or something." Sighing, she places her hand on his shoulder.
"So?" Tai wiggles a brow.
"Trust me when I say you don't want the media on your ass now come on get changed we're going shopping." Strictly, she shoves him towards her room to change.
"Aye aye captain." Coyly, he smiles saluting her making her roll her eyes at him, ignoring her big blush from his bright broad grin as he goes to change…
"Whoa there are tons of shops here…" Surprised, Fatgum takes note of as he follows behind Katsumi in his own civilian attire which he had to admit he loved. He didn't know how she did it but she always knew what to wear, it made him feel bad sometimes during their past patrols he always felt like he left her down with what she swore or when they would talk about fashion. He would try to keep up with trends to talk to her about but he just couldn't ad she knew that, but she appreciated the sentiment even offering him some advice.
"Huh…I guess I never really noticed." Katsumi shrugs unsure, not quite sure what to really say as she looks around the displays peering into a fair few shops while patrolling, Taishiro by her side holding tons and tons of bags as he has his hands shoved into his hoodie pockets, the bags of all sorts of brands dangling down his arms.
"Nor have you noticed the bags." Drily, he remarks looking over at the pile upon pile of clothes, feeling his blush deepened at the thought that this was all for him. He wated to pay but she insisted no matter how hard he tried to intervene and insist she swiftly shot him down. He felt bad of course he did but he also knew how Katsumi worked, arguing her about this was a war he knew he had no chance to win.
"Hey if we're shopping we go all the way got it?" Passionately, Katsumi tells him bringing a small smirk to his lips amused almost at the endearing glint gleaming in her eyes. He knew that look anywhere, he had seen her have it time and time again when it came to fighting or training.
"All…the way?" Chuckling, he quirks his head to the side at her endearing excitement acting like a child on Christmas.
"Of course think of it like some food challenge you don't just stop halfway you eat it all." Sighing, Katsumi compares.
"Yeah…I guess? You know there was a dumpling challenge I was tempted to back home." Sadly, Tashiro smiles at the memory.
"Aren't you banned from them?" Chuckling, Katsumi recalls, a small smirk upon her lips.
"…Yeahh." Shyly, Taishiro bows his head, deflated, defeated almost at the reminder, feeling the raw red tint to his cheeks deepen from her words.
"Got to give the others a fair chance of winning." Katsumi points out faltering from the sight of the saddened rejected Taishiro, patting his head trying to console him through this as he bows his head to a height she could reach, earning a few looks as the two briefly flinch from the flash but brush it aside.
"Still not fair." Frowning, Tai pouts glaring to the side bringing a small smile to Katsumi's lips at the endearing sight.
"Oh come on don't pout." Chuckling, Katsumi lightly pats his cheek as he looks over at her.
"I'm not pouting." Huffing, he leans into her touch.
"Suuure." Smirking, she shakes her head at him.
"Is that…Bombarda?" The two furrow their brow at the voice turning to see the crowd forming around the two making her groan scowling.
"Hey who's the cutie she's with?" A woman nearby ponders as Katsumi concerned glances over at Taishiro flinching.
"He's hot." Another adds as he grimaces tensing up.
"People are staring." Grimacing, Taishiro grumbles.
"Relax they're complimenting you." Gently, she tries to be positive.
"Hmmm…" Unfazed, he huffs.
"Look don't let those extras get to you what matters is finding you your clothes." Sternly, she slaps his back guiding him inside a shop.
"Yeah…" Taishiro smiles shyly down at her as they enter said shop being greeted warmly by the people throwing discount upon discount at the bored Bombarda and shy sheepish Taishiro.
"Hey you think they're dating?"
"Bombarda dating?"
"I thought she was with Hawks they were patrolling the other day…"
"You know for someone who loves jogging bottoms you sure know your fair share of fashion." Frowning, Taishiro points out eyeing the staff staring at them as Katsumi looks over the clothes hanging on display.
"For your information baggy clothing is fashionable." Firmly, she huffs furrowing her brow at him.
"It is?" Surprised, he arches a brow.
"Oh for the…it's called alternative Tai I've told you this before." Sternly, she scolds him lightly.
"And you said to me not to pout." Playfully, Taishiro teases making her grumble, glaring to the side.
"I do not pout." Sternly, Katsumi states only making Taishiro chuckle.
"Heh…still even when we were under Kazz I remember you eying the shop displays." Fondly, Tai smiles at the memory.
"They had good stuff okay?" Defensively, Katsumi crosses her arms over her chest.
"I have nothing against it if anything I remember sometimes patrolling around I'd feel a bit…" Shyly, Tai squirms shuffling to the side.
"A bit what?" Lost, Katsumi furrows her brow.
"Well like I was dragging you if you know what I mean?" Guilty, Tai sighs sadly.
"I don't." Katsumi answers.
"Urgh you just you always knew what to wear whether it be casual or not your hero costume was fashionable too winter or summer both were amazing and mine was just bland in comparison I'd feel like I'd let you down sometimes." Truthfully, Tai confesses to Katsumi.
"You serious?" Stunned, Katsumi does a double take from his words.
"Well yeah I mean you are a model." Meekly, Tai smiles, the ruby red tint to his cheeks darkening.
"I was one Tai not anymore and since when have I ever made you think I gave a crap about that? Tai looks isn't what attract me to people sure it may be an added bonus for some but at the end of the day if you're going to be with someone it's for their personality a personality that mashes well with yours if not then there's no way it's going to last upon one pillar, a pretty pathetic pillar at that." Sighing, she explains, reminding Tai.
"Katsu…" Tai begins his features faltering from her words noting her eyeing her prosthetic pausing briefly.
"Fat. Thin, whatever you are I don't care you are you by the end of the day, you are saving lives and if any of those extras have anything bad to say about it then they can go to hell! Now come on we got to do one last round…" Resolute, Katsumi snaps stating the fact of the matter making Tai beam brightly from her words.
"Aye aye mam." Pleased, Tai winks cheeks at her as the two continue on with Katsumi shopping to their hearts content and Tai simply smiling, following after the fashion stylist that is Katsumi.
*What do you think of Fatgum and Katsumi's relationship? Would love to know!*
