Izuku Midoriya has never been so nervous in his life except for when he applied to UA, asked Shouto out, telling Bakugou about One for All….yeah okay he has been nervous before but, not like this. He requested the day off so he and Shouto can celebrate New Year's together. He made reservations at the restaurant Shouto has always wanted to try but, they're always booked leaving him disappointed. He also got a great spot to watch the ball drop yet another thing Shouto could never do due to crowds til crazy schedules. "Now I just need to get my suit from the tailor and the flowers from Rinzu…." He mutters as he walks into the bank checkering his watch seeing that it's just past 5:30 pm. "I still have plenty of time to get this done. He doesn't get out until 6 and our reservation is at 8:30." He's almost to the front when the man in front of him pulls a gun.
"Everybody down or you lose your heads!" A warning shot is fired and everyone screams panic erupting. Another few rounds are fired and woman is shot in the foot before everyone cowers in the middle of the Capitol Bank.
Izuku crawls to the injured woman, "Here take my scarf and apply pressure once I take your shoe off okay?" She nods and he removes her ruined shoe and blood soaked sock. She applies pressure once he carefully pulls the bullet fragments out using the tweezers from his utility knife. She curls closer to her husband whimpering as Izuku crawls toward the counter. He really can't pull the hero card right now seeing how delicate the situation is. He is about to hit the alarm when one of the villains spots him,
"What do you think you're doing baby face?" She says cocking his gun.
Damn it I didn't want to do this today! He thinks to himself as the villain makes him stand up. He sighs and turns socking the villain in the face the crunch echoing in the quiet room.
"You mother fucker!" With that shout the fight begins chaos following shortly after as the people scatter to avoid getting caught in crossfire.
"And in other news tonight Capitol Bank robbery apprehended by a mysterious man that has a striking resemblance to our beloved #1 hero…"
Midoriya runs through the park panting knowing he's late.
You already missed dinner...some date you are! Why would he even bother with the park after you stood him up?!
He skids to a halt spotting Shouto standing in their chosen spot as the final countdown begins.
10!
"Shouto I... I'm so sorry…." He says tears beading in his eyes. "I ruined our evening…"
9!
Shouto walks over to him with a sigh, "Must trouble always find you?"
8!
"I'm so sorry! I know you've been looking forward to this for months…" Izuku hiccups tears dropping off his chin.
7!
Shouto looks away, "When you didn't show up to dinner I didn't know how to feel honestly…. you've never stood me up…" He takes a shaky breath a few tears escaping down his cheeks their breath clouding in the cold air.
6!
Izuku sniffles hanging his head in shame, "I didn't want to stand you up…"
5!
"It still hurt Izu…you got me all excited for tonight only to leave me disappointed." Shouto says turning away as the ball drops lower.
4!
"There's no way to make this up to you is there…?" Izuku asks more tears falling.
3!
Shouto shakes his head the wind ruffling his bangs as they stand crying in the park. Izuku turns to go his shoulders shaking knowing he messed up horribly and that Shouto probably wanted to be alone.
2!
Shouto grabs his arm pulling his boyfriend back toward him. Izuku looks down at him tears still falling from his eyes. The remorse in his eyes broke Shouto's will to stay mad at him, "I'm glad you're safe. When I heard about the hold up at the bank I was so scared that you might have been shot." Shouto says holding onto Izuku tighter. Izuku hugs him tight mumbling soft reassurances. Shouto sheds a few more tears glad to be safe in his boyfriend's arms.
1!
"I love you Shou." Izuku says nuzzling his boyfriend's hair before tilting his chin up and pressing their lips together.
"Happy new year!"
