Shorter Chapter while I finish working on the next lot! I have one that's immediately ready to be released after this and another that will follow shortly after, I think...Thanks for all the support! I've been reading alot of fics to get some ideas and I'm very excited to flesh some of the later story parts out! there's some I'm not entirely sure of and I'm afraid people might not enjoy but I'll work on building those up and seeing the reception first before fully implementing them! ANYWAY ENJOY OR DONT ITS COOL
OK...Ok...Okokokok this was it, This morning is when Mitsuki would come in to pick up the flowers and she could finally have an answer.
She was so fucking nervous, it wasn't like her to be this anxious but she couldn't help it, this this potentially Izumi! her Izumi! she was shaking in anticipation at this point. well, anticipation and anxiety. she couldn't help but feel so incredibly nervous at the thought she could potentially be the same person.
Her morning shift went bu fairly normally, starting early preparations on arranging the displays and products before going over any order made during the time they were closed, she mostly just stood there, internally screaming as she waited.
She had waited, and waited and...waited for her to come in, not that is was a long wait, she had only officially opened the store about an hour ago. but still. She was just staring at the door, not even noticing the person about to enter.
That's when the bell of the store dinged, somone had walked in and was approaching the counter, Himiko, although staring at it had completely dissociated and disregarded it, looking at who had walked in, she guessed the lady was maybe in her 30s? She had wild blonde hair and and fierce red eyes, she was beautiful, definitely an eye catcher, she didn't really notice most of her costumers as they never really stood out but she was different. she had a scary aura.
Upon approaching the counter The Blonde happily smiled as she spoke hand resting on the counter, although she looked kinda scary she seemed nice as she spoke. "Hi, I have an order to pick up under Mitsuki"
WAAA IT WAS HER!!! she hadn't expected her to be this early! calming herself Himiko responded.
"O-Oh Mitsuki! Yes certainly, I'll go grab it for you" She tried her best to give a smile but knew it just looked so awkward, Spinning around she headed into the back before emerging a minute later with the bouquet in hand.
Mitsuki beamed upon seeing it, she loved how pretty it was, just like Izumi. She hoped she would like it.
"Wow, It's so beautiful! You did amazingly with it. I'm sure my niece will love this, or I hope so atleast. these were her favourites when she was little so I hope it hasn't changed" Giving a light chuckle at her last comment she reached out to grab it with Himiko happily handing it over. She almost dropped it as she did.
"I'm sure she will! I tried my best to make it as perfect as I could" She beamed happily albeit nervously. Still she had to know and she was getting more and more anxious with each passing second. OK! This was it, she was going to ask!
"So, this is going to sound strange but..This Izumi...I used to know one a little while ago and it got me thinking if it maybe was the same one, Was her last name...Midoriya?"
Mitsuki blinked in surprise at the girl across from her, She knew Izumi? Friend from School perhaps? still that was so long ago.
"Oh, Yeah it is, You know her?"
Ah, there it was, so it really was her huh? she was out, she felt herself start to tear up again but held her composure the best she could. "Yeah! we Went to school together! we were really good friends, I would visit her from time to time in The ward, I had no idea she was out, how recent was it?" She decided this the best way to play this, pretend to be a friend from School and that she visited her while not a total lie, she was there after all.
Mitsuki seemed happy to her her response and beamed at her. "OH!!! I see, so I guess my note for the card made you think it was her huh? Yeah she was released earlier this week! I haven't had the chance to visit yet but today will change that and the flowers a nice touch!"
This week!?!?! GIRAN WHAT THE FUCK?!?! oh she was going to kill him now.
"Mm! Wow! I'm so happy for her, I'll have to visit her sometime, eh, do you know where she lives?" She hoped she would give her an answer based on that she was a friend.
"Of course! I'll write it down for you!" Thank God.
After writing down her address they chatted a little more before Mitsuki started to head off. She still seemed scary but it was more of a 'Don't fuck with me and I won't kill you' kinda scary so she worked around that and kept it pleasant.
"Thanks for the help! I'm sure Izumi will love them! Have a great day, Himiko!"
Eh? She hadn't told her her name, EH?! did she know who she was?! Had Izumi mentioned her before?! 'What I- Oh.'
Looking down she remembered.
Name tag.
Right.
'OH BUT SHIT SHE WAS GONNA TELL IZUMI SHE BUMPED INTO ME?!'
'Wait maybe that's a good thing?! Maybe it'll make her freak out less when I just kinda show up to her house?'
She was so stressed, she had her address now and was freaking about when to see her, maybe after work?? Yeah, that, she'll go after, she didn't have any villain bullshit today, though they did have a meeting tomorrow about something...Big, She wasn't told much other than that. But based on the last few meetings it probably had something to do with U.A.
Ahhhh, she would see her, Her Izumi! She blushed thinking about how their meeting would go, how they would be in eachothers arms again! how they would kiss! how they would drink from eachother! How she would hate her...for leaving her there by herself, shit, now she was starting to think Like that, maybe she did hate her after what she did. She shook her head and steeled herself, she had to think positive, she would understand stand if she explained right? but then again, what could she say? she couldn't talk about the LoV or anything like that, shit this was gonna be hard, lucky she had six hours to think of something.
Izumi had spent the morning telling her mother the events that took place the previous day, with Nezu suddenly showing up and offering her a place at the U.A. Too say she was ecstatic was an understatement, she couldn't believe what she was hearing, she was offered a place there! her own daughter a hero!! she almost cried hearing it, scratch that, she definitely cried.
After they finished up the little recap they quickly finished breakfast and Inko started to get ready for work while izumi mindlessly scrolled on her phone. She had received an email with documents detailing her enrolment that she had to fill out and send back, it was all fairly simple, Quirk info, her own personal info, A costume design. She didn't have any design ready so she quickly came up with something and sent some references, Hs didn't really have a costume idea in mind, she never really thought about it, other than All Might style designs when she was a kid, she Had liked Miruko's costume so she added that as a reference. Now that she thought about it, her taste in hero's had really change, she still loved All Might but people like Miruko were more her thing...Maybe just Miruko when she thought about it, she hadn't actually gained much interest in most any one else, she wondered why that was...Shrugging she turned her attention back to her email, sending it back to the provided email. now all she had to do was wait, wait until they let her know her first day. She was Screaming.
She had to pack aswell, She had to be on campus so they could monitor her, it wasn't necessary for everyone but, certain students like her had to be monitored, at least for a while, she might be able to move back in after a year or so she was told, it was strange and she wished she coulda stayed here but understood what they meant.
Her mother was saddened but was also happy for her, they'd agreed to visit eachother every weekend, Izumi could stay over then and come back late Sunday. it wasn't entirely ideal but It would work,
A knock at the door brought izumi back to reality, getting up from her seat she walked over to the door and opened it up to be greeted by Mitsuki? this was a surprise.
"Izumi!!!" She practically screamed as she grabbed the girl into a one armed hug, the other holding a bouquet.
"Auntie! What are you doing here? it's so good to see you!" she happily returned her hug as they remained like that for a bit, pulling away izumi noticed the bouquet in her other hand.
"Is that for me?" she asked as she pointed at it.
"Yes of course they're for you dear! I hope you'll like them!"
Grabbing the dazzling bouquet from the older woman she was completely entranced by them, the beautiful shades of blue and purple perfectly contrasted the white of the lilies, it was beautiful, she loved them!
"I love them! thank you! they're beautiful! I can't believe you remembered my favourites!"
"Honestly, I had NO idea if you still liked these kinds so I'm happy my gamble paid off! There's a card too! but you can read that later"
Spinning it around she nodded as she found it, looking back up at her she should probably ask her if she wanted to come in.
"Auntie, would like you to stay for tea?"
"I would love to, thank you, Is Inko in?"
Almost on cue said woman was walking down the stairs in her uniform and beamed when she saw who was at the door.
"Mitsuki! what're you doing here?" She walked over and hugged her before noticing the flowers her daughter was holding, ah that's why.
"Just thought I'd come visit Izumi and get her a gift now that she's home is all"
Inko thankfully nodded at her before she also invited her in for tea.
It had gone well! the 3 woman had started to catch up and talk about this and that, Izumi telling mitsuki she was going to attend U.A both made Mitsuki happy and worried, happy she was going to enroll and worried for her son, Katsuki. She still didn't know if he was completely over the...Incident. She didn't blame him but still, she knew it wasn't Izumis fault. She had hoped they would Talk to eachother again, bit she knew her son, she knew how much he hated her.
After around an hour it was time for her to leave, Inko had taken off a few minutes prior and now it was her turn. though she thought she was forgetting something...
...
...OH The Girl!
"Izumi!" She exclaimed grabbing her attention and she shot her gaze to her. "The flowers! A friend of yours that works at the florist I got them from actually put them together! she said as soon as she saw the name and card she thought it was you and asked me to clarify"
Eh? Friend? what does she mean? she didn't have friends? maybe one of the 4 she met on her night out?
"Oh? Really who?"
"Hmmm what was her name again? She said she had visited you a few times when you were in the ward"
Huh?! Now she was really confused, She must've gotten them mixed up, only Inko and Mitsuki had visited her.
"I think Y-" Izumi was interrupted by her Auntie blurting out the name of said someone, a name she didn't expect to hear, at least not from her.
"Himiko! that was it! Lil blondie with the cat eyes and sharp teeth! yeah! she seemed really happy to hear you were out, I gave her the address and she said she'd stop by!"
...
...
...
...
What?
"W-What D-did you just say?!" She started to shake before she lunged out and grabbed her shoulders, staring fiercely into her eyes, almost scaring the older woman.
"H-Himiko? should I not have given her the address? is she no good?"
She...She couldn't believe it, it was almost impossible to believe, She was alive...She...
WAIT COMING HERE!??!!? WHAT WHAT
"SHES COMING HERE?!? WHEN??!? DID SHE SAY WHEN?!?!" She was now shaking her as said yelled this, Mitsuki going limp as she just kinda went along with it, she didn't seem angry or mad, unexpectedly excited? Mitsuki thought.
"UH! I DONT KNOW BRAT BUT STOP SHAKIN ME!" She growled back at her before the greenette sheepishly took her hands off her shoulders As the older lady had a look of murder in her eyes.
"S-Sorry! it's just...I didn't expect that"
Izumi looked away and rubbed the back of her head while casting her gaze to the side "We were, Uh, Very...Close, you know"? She could feel her face heat up as she spoke, she really hoped she didn't notice.
Looking back to meet her gaze after a few seconds of silence she felt the soul leave her body as the older woman had the biggest knowing smirk on her face. she noticed!!
"Uh-huh, Reeeeeeal close I bet, well then, I'm glad I gave her the address, hell she might even show up today, Lucky inkos out huh?" She once again had the biggest grin Izumi had seen her wear, and it made Izumi want to curl up and die.
Ah...She knew...
Mitsuki looked to her to the clock before realising she really had to go, quickly giving the younger girl a hug and walking it the door, she gave the girl a final smirk and a wink before she closed the door.
Izumi stood there, she didn't know what to think if she was honest, Himiko would be here, possibly today?! and she was a florist?? that just raised so many more questions. Questions she would ask when she saw her...Her...she was going to see her again, she felt her heart start to skip and she brought her hand to her chest, she couldnt wait to see her. She was so excited she didn't know what to do with herself, maybe a bath would help calm her.
Himiko Glanced down at the note Mitsuki handed her, it wasn't far from here, 15 minute train and she would be at the station, according to the map it was a brisk walk till she was there, she was so excited to see her, to know she was finally able to hold her again! Her heart fluttered just thinking about it.
She had a pretty good story she would say, it wasn't the whole truth, but it also wasnt a lie. She couldn't just spill the beans that she was a prolific Villian that was involved with the murders of several hero's, that'd be a Lil too much.
After finishing her shift she immediately headed to her house. greeting and saying her goodbyes to her boss before she took off, almost running to the station. 15 minutes of giddy excitement, which the whole time she couldn't sit still.
The Train had stooped and she wasted no time making her way to Izumis.
When she cane to the lovely white and black house she was now considerably more nervous, freaking out even, wanting to throw up and cry.
Walking up the short set of stairs she stood infront of the door, she reached her hand up to begin a knock before hesitation set in, she really didn't know what to expect now.
A kiss?
A hug?
A punch???
All of those possible outcomes. No, she had to do this, she had to see her.
And so, she knocked, 5 taps to the door and few seconds before she heard someone make their way to the door.
Opening it She saw the one thing she yearned for.
Standing there in all her green glory, was the girl she loved more than anything Bright green eyes stared back in shock and she saw her. She was so beautiful, she couldn't believe this was real.
"I-Izu..."
Was all she could mutter.
