Rumi woke from her slumber slowly, and for a second she was confused why there was someone in bed with her. As rays of sunlight filled the bedroom, she remembered what had happened the previous night and smiled happily. Opening her eyes, the pro-hero looked up at the man sleeping peacefully next to her.

Izuku's chest rose and fell in time with his breathing, his arms still wrapped around Rumi like a child holding their favorite teddy bear. His face was calm and undisturbed, and the stubble on his jaw gave him a handsome and roguish look that would not look out of place on the cover of a cheap romance novel.

If only there was a way for her to preserve this moment for future viewing.

Grinning cheekily, Rumi reached under Izuku's shirt and began softly running her hands over his torso. First she started up near the neck, tracing the collarbone and slowly working her way downwards. Next were the defined pectorals, which were then followed by Izuku's chiseled abs. Reaching the waist, Rumi slowly ran her hands over the v-shaped musculature that pointed teasingly to the area below Izuku's waistline.

Feeling Izuku's breathing change, Rumi watched as her partner slowly woke up and looked around blearily. Finally realizing that Rumi's hands were still greedily tracing his torso muscles, Izuku looked down at her with a confused look.

"Uhh...good morning?" He said in a slightly raspy morning voice that made Rumi's spine tingle.

"Good morning handsome." Rumi replied lovingly. "Don't mind me, just doing a physical examination."

Seemingly too drowsy to get flustered, Izuku simply let Rumi continue as he yawned.

"No nightmares…" He said in disbelief. "I actually feel...rested."

Smiling wider, Rumi pulled her hands out from under Izuku's shirt and nuzzled her face into his neck. "See? I told you it would work. Guess you will just have to keep sleeping with me."

Izuku was quiet for a few moments before speaking softly. "Umm...about last night…"

Already knowing what Izuku was thinking about, Rumi propped herself up so she could look at her partner. "I have a feeling I know what you are going to say, but go on, might as well clear the air."

Shyly trying to avoid meeting Rumi's gaze, Izuku fiddled with the edge of the blanket nervously as he spoke. "I don't know if...if this is the right choice. I mean, what would the press say if they found out? Your reputation would get torn to shreds if people found out that you were romantically involved with a nobody like me. Not to mention the fact that I am quirkless. We also work together, and I don't want to damage your professional reputation…"

Sighing in disappointment, Rumi gently reached over and held Izuku's hand. "So is that a no?"

His cheeks starting to redden, Izuku awkwardly continued to stare at the blanket. "It's not a question of yes or no. I just don't want you to make a hasty decision that you might regret later."

Frowning slightly, Rumi moved so that she could stare directly into Izuku's emerald eyes. "Izuku, this was not a spur of the moment decision. I love you, and that is a fact. Screw what other people think, I could care less what the world thinks of me or you."

Reaching out to gently stroke Izuku's jaw, Rumi gave him the most earnest look as she desperately tried to get her partner to answer the question that was burning inside her.

"Just give me a straight answer." She pleaded. "I just want to know whether I should give up on you or not. If you don't feel any connection then just tell me. We can pretend like this never happened and go back to arguing with each other over stupid crap."

Izuku only turned redder as he stayed silent. After what felt like years of waiting, Rumi finally got the answer she wanted.

"I-I-I…" Izuku stuttered nervously. "I p-probably also have...f-feelings for you…"

Resisting the urge to jump up and cheer in celebration, Rumi settled for something just as exciting.

Making sure Izuku was watching, Rumi leaned in and gave him a long but gentle kiss.

Feeling like her heart was racing a mile a minute, Rumi closed her eyes and poured as much love as possible into the simple act of affection.

Did it always feel this good to kiss someone?

Finally needing to take a breath, Rumi broke the kiss and smiled shyly at Izuku as her cheeks burned bright red.

It looked like Izuku's brain had to reboot, as it took a few seconds for him to finally react.

"Wow…" He said breathlessly as he looked at her in awe.

At this point Rumi was desperately restraining herself from jumping on Izuku to sate her lustful desires.

"Calm down Rumi." She thought to herself. "Take your time. When the time is right, then you can enjoy yourself."

Laying back down, Rumi pressed herself against her new boyfriend and idly played with his curly green hair. "You are not so bad yourself." She admitted. "A little rough around the edges, but nothing a little practice won't fix."

Taking Rumi's hand in his own, Izuku chuckled softly as he looked up at the ceiling.

"So what now?"

Taking a moment to think, Rumi smiled and teasingly kissed Izuku's neck. "Well we both are taking the day off. I can think of a few things we could do without leaving the bed."

Well that definitely got Izuku's attention.

Coughing in surprise at the lustful tone in his girlfriend's voice, Izuku sat up and looked down at her warily. "Can we um...take a rain check on that?"

Giggling at how shy her partner was, Rumi sat up and stretched as she yawned.

"Don't worry about it Izuku." She said honestly. "I was just teasing you. We can take things slow."

Nodding gratefully, Izuku slowly got out of bed as he replied. "Thanks Rumi. I just...I have never really gotten this close to someone before."

Mimicking her partner, Rumi got out of bed and padded over to plant a quick kiss on Izuku's cheek.

"You are so cute you know that?" Rumi giggled lovingly. "I swear, probably half the people in your department have crushes on you."

Blushing slightly, Izuku waved away Rumi's assertion as they walked out to the kitchen. "You are exaggerating. I just work well with others. There is a difference."

As Izuku rummaged around in the stainless steel fridge, Rumi sat down on the counter and started her high-tech coffee maker.

"Izuku, I love you but sometimes you can be really dense when it comes to flirting." Rumi said honestly. "I am honestly surprised that nobody has tried to get in your pants yet."

Suspiciously, Izuku stayed silent and seemed to have taken a sudden interest in the labelling on a carton of eggs. Frowning, Rumi got off the counter and leaned closer to the green-haired man.

"Wait a sec. Are you telling me someone tried to sleep with you already?!" She asked incredulously. "Was it at least before we started working together?"

Again, the only response Rumi got was more silence.

Throwing her hands up in mock disbelief, Rumi pretended to be angry at the sudden realization.

"You sly dog!" She said loudly. "So while you were bullying me you were flirting around with your co-workers!? So much for not getting involved with people you work with!"

Finally emerging from the depths of the refrigerator with his hands full of ingredients, Izuku looked like a puppy who was getting yelled at by their owner.

"N-nothing ever happened!" He said desperately. "It was just one time a-and I turned her down immediately!"

Walking closer to the confused and distressed man, Rumi smiled cheekily and took a few ingredients from Izuku's hands.

"I'm just messing with ya Izuku." The rabbit hero said truthfully. "I would be a pretty shitty girlfriend if I got mad at you over stuff that you had no control over. Dont worry about it. What matters is that now you are with me, and I don't plan on letting anyone take you away from me. Not without one hell of a fight."

Walking past her partner, Rumi teasingly flicked his nose with one of her rabbit ears as she grabbed a raw carrot from the refrigerator. "So what are we making?" She asked curiously as she inspected the ingredients in her hands.

Letting out a heavy sigh that was a mixture of relief and exasperation, Izuku walked over to the nearby stove and began turning it on. "We are making scrambled eggs. Simple to make, but can be paired with many different ingredients to change the flavor and style."

For the next hour Izuku walked his new girlfriend through the process of making scrambled eggs. The biggest hurdle for Rumi was learning how to crack eggs without smashing them, but after several messy failed attempts she finally managed to get a single egg yolk into the bowl with minimal pieces of shell left over. As the lesson continued, Rumi found it hard to concentrate on Izuku's directions.

Mostly because she was constantly admiring him and daydreaming about various escapades they could get into.

Finally, their breakfast was ready to eat. After a few finishing touches consisting of various condiments, Rumi proudly took her plate of scrambled eggs over to the table in front of the couch and sat down with a fork in hand. Trying to hide the fact that she was proud to have completed her first home cooked meal, Rumi devoured her food with gusto.

"Damn that tasted good!" She exclaimed happily. "Man, if I knew cooking your own food made it taste this good I might have given it a try long ago."

Izuku chuckled as he slowly ate his food while taking the occasional sip from his cup of coffee. "Well I guess that means you are interested in learning more?"

Nodding vigorously, Rumi quickly retrieved her phone and began looking up recipes as she leaned against her green-haired boyfriend.

"So if I buy the ingredients, will you teach me how to make stuff?" She asked.

Finishing his food, Izuku leaned back against the couch and absentmindedly put an arm around Rumi's shoulders as he stroked his chin in thought.

"Well I might need to go with you when you get ingredients." He said astutely. "At least for the first few meals. You can make a meal perfectly, but it will still come out badly if the ingredients are not of good quality."

Rumi blinked a few times as she tried to focus on what Izuku was saying. However, internally she was squealing in delight at Izuku's casual touching while also resisting the urge to lean in and kiss him again.

"Uhh...then why dont you get the ingredients." Rumi said in a slight daze. "I can pay you back for what you buy. Right now I wanna focus on the actual cooking. The way you are talking about ingredients only makes me think of homework."

Laughing softly, Izuku nodded in agreement. "Sounds good. Knowing how to make even basic meals is a useful skill I think everyone should know. Plus, if you ever want to learn some really advanced techniques we can ask Lorenzo for some pointers."

The rest of the morning passed quickly, and eventually Rumi managed to cajole her handsome partner to work out with her in the training room.

Seeing the green-haired agent now dressed in his workout clothes, Rumi grinned excitedly as she watched him stretch.

"I don't think I have ever seen him work up a real sweat." Rumi thought to herself. "If I am lucky I might be able to convince him to take a shower with me...to save water of course."

The first half of the workout was the standard type of exercises you would find anyone doing at a gym. Lifting weights, using resistance bands, jogging on treadmills, the usual kind of stuff.

After working up a good sweat with Izuku, Rumi moved on to the second half of the workout.

More specifically, some sparring practice.

Rumi had been keeping track of Izuku's number of wins, and today seemed like as good a day as any to finally get a win on the handsome agent.

Bouncing lightly on her feet as she squared off against Izuku on the rubber mats, Rumi grinned cockily at her partner who had adopted a standard fighting stance.

"Today is the day I finally beat you Izuku." Rumi taunted. "I feel like I could jump to the moon if I wanted to. You better put up a good fight."

Smirking, Izuku rolled his shoulders before bringing his arms up into a close guard. "Well there is only one way to find out. Give me your best shot!"

Smiling excitedly, Rumi charged forward so fast that she was nothing more than a blur.

As time seemed to slow down, Rumi marvelled at how light she felt. Maybe it was just a placebo effect from all the happy endorphins from the morning, but she felt like she could take on ten high-end Nomus with one hand tied behind her back!

Unleashing a flurry of blows, Rumi laughed excitedly as she pressed forward. Like a veteran martial artist, Izuku easily blocked all the blows and counter attacked with a kick and punch combination aimed at Rumi's midsection. Dodging the attack with inhuman speed, Rumi grinned ferally as she kept raining attacks on her partner.

While Rumi definitely had put Izuku on the defensive, the two were so well matched that neither were able to get the advantage over the other.

With sweat rolling down her face, Rumi decided to try something unorthodox.

Suddenly changing her stance, Rumi leapt at Izuku and tackled him to the ground.

The change in tactics definitely took Izuku by surprise, as one of his biggest advantages over Rumi was his height, weight, and experience in grappling.

The gutsy move succeeded in knocking the green-haired agent off his feet and soon the two were rolling around on the floor in a fierce battle for dominance.

Like he had done previously, Izuku eventually got on top of Rumi and began to pin her to the ground.

But that was exactly what Rumi had wanted.

With Izuku pinning her arms to the ground and straddling her waist, Rumi put her plan into motion.

Suddenly moving her head like a striking snake, the white-haired hero gave her boyfriend a fierce french kiss while gently biting his lower lip.

Totally caught off guard, Izuku flailed in panic as his body locked up like a nervous teen on their first date.

Breaking the kiss, Rumi grabbed hold of one of Izuku's arms and pulled it forward while wrapping one of her muscular legs around his neck and shoulders. Using her other leg to lock her constricting leg in place, Rumi began to viciously squeeze Izuku's neck.

If Izuku was not in the middle of an intense fight, he would have praised Rumi for perfectly executing a flawless triangle choke that would commonly be seen in various mixed martial arts events.

The green-haired agent did his best to escape the triangle choke, but from his position it was only a matter of time until he lost consciousness.

After several moments of intense struggling, Izuku rapidly tapped Rumi's leg, signalling his defeat.

Releasing Izuku from the chokehold, Rumi staggered to her feet and cheered ecstatically.

"HELL YEAH!" She yelled triumphantly while pumping a fist. "I finally took you down Izuku!"

Kneeling on the ground to catch his breath, the still blushing Izuku looked at Rumi with a shy smile on his face. "You g-got me. I certainly did not expect an attack like that."

Offering her hand to the defeated man, Rumi grinned cheekily as she pulled Izuku to his feet. "Hey, I learned from the best. Now I have to think up a different way to take you by surprise."

Izuku was silent for a moment then suddenly enveloped Rumi in a tight hug that made her yelp in surprise.

"Thanks Rumi." He murmured into her sensitive ears. "That was really fun."

Not wanting to waste the opportunity, Rumi hugged Izuku back and teasingly nibbled on his ear.

"I love you Izuku." She said breathlessly.

Izuku paused for a second before responding in a warm and caring tone.

"I love you too Rumi."

- A/N -

- Gonna admit, writing fluff is a lot more fun than I expected it to be.

- I am predicting that this will be a big question so I will answer it now. At this point I am still undecided if I will include a lemon chapter. I have never written something of that type so I am a little hesitant to commit to it.

- Thanks for all the nice comments! I always have lots of fun reading your comments/reviews!
