Chapter 15

She knocked on his door and waited for a response. There was a moment when she heard the shuffling and knew he was at the door but just wasn't answering it.

When he did answer it his face was unreadable.

"Izuku, I really don't know what I did wrong today for you to hate me but I'm extremely sorry. You're one of the only friends I have and I don't want to lose you after just making friends with you."

Midoriya suddenly felt ashamed in himself for acting out in jealousy. She didn't know that he was jealous and it makes it even more unfair of him to act the way that he was.

"I found out that I really like curry last night and bought take out specifically for us to eat."

"You didn't have to do that."

She took the daring step to touch his hand with the scars and looked at only the hand. "I wanted to."

When she had gone out grocery shopping she hated feeling completely alone. Then she felt stupid for wanting company to go shopping with.

Izuku felt a heavy weight of emotion coming off of the woman. It felt like she was broken and was asking for a bandage when she needed a cast. He had learned something about himself a long time ago. And that's that he always plays the role of the hero. Even now when his new friend came knocking on the door.

He himself knew the hardship of friendship with his time with Kacchan.

"Okay, but it'll have to be at your place. I don't have any furniture." He answered with a smile.

"Awesome. We can listen to music and play cards. Are you okay with water? Because I completely didn't think that far ahead."

Izuku couldn't help but compare her to a puppy that's owner just got home.

"I can bring a few drinks." I will be right there he turned back into his apartment.

While Rin waited for Izuku she cleaned up a bit. Mostly just made sure all of her clothes were in the cheap pop up hamper she had in the bedroom.

Out of sight.

She made her bed couch because she knew that's where they would be. She threw an extra blanket on the bed so the the comforter could act as a cushion.

Looking around the room everything looked to be fine. She heard the knock and told called for him to come in. When the knock came a second time she went to the door.

"I told you you could come in."

Izuku was holding a big bottle under his arm and a 2 bottles of green tea.

"I'm sorry. I've just always been taught that it's rude to walk into someone's house."

"Yeah. I think that was something my parents tried to tell me too." She giggled. "Mi Casa Su Casa."

He walked into the house. "Was the English?"

"Nope. It was Spanish. 'My home is your home.' I kinda said it more jokingly but I guess it was only one way."

She watched Izuku analyze her home. It was a funny thing how excited she was about showing her home off.

"Your house seems just as empty as mine." He pointed out. "I thought that since you lived on your own before here you would have more stuff."

He wasn't judging just observing. "I know but stuff cost money and I just didn't ever get around to it. I never had free time."

She walked to the kitchen island and looked at the big bottle. It was a bottle of Sake.

'Oh yeah! I'm of drinking age here!' She had thought she said it in her head but Izuku's laugh confirmed that she didn't.

"I debated bringing it because I didn't want you to think that I had bad intentions. Then I thought that you might want to try it."

She pulled out 2 matching plaid green mugs. "Thank you. Would you mind? My ugly mugs are my celebratory mugs."

While pouring them their drinks he had to ask, "Why do you have them if you think they're ugly."

He saw Rin think about his question. "Well," She looked at the mugs pattern, "I actually bought them because I thought they were ugly." She took her first drink.

It was super dry and her throat wanted to smack her for assaulting it. She made a pinched face and then smiled.

"I bought them because there's beauty in loving something no one else wants."

She was on her third cup of sake and felt the influence. For every cup she had she would puppy dog pout for Izuku to stay in time with her.

That meant Izuku had to chug the second drink.

Laughing together now while playing war. "This game is really long."

"That's what she said." Rin kept flipping her cards in time with Midoriya. And she kept swiping his cards until she got the last one. "I win! What's my prize?" She giggled laying down on her bed.

Midoriya shuffled the deck and looked over at his friend being a giggling mess next to him. He was actually enjoying himself more so then her though he would and while drinking too.

"Where do these go?" He showed her the deck.

"That drawer right there." She squinted her eyes and pointed to the drawer like she was aiming a gun. "But I'll put them away later."

She sat criss crossed now and was violating that unspoken arm length distance rule.

Because of his liquid courage he didn't keep these thoughts in his mind though.

"Why are you so easy to be in people's personal space?" He wasn't sure he said that right.

Rin giggled at his question, "I think it's because I like seeing people tense."

"Do you get off on that?" Izuku laughed and found himself leaning back on his elbows watching her.

She smacked his knee. "Now I know you've been drinking Izuku. Asking such daring questions."

He shoot his head and the curls went a bit wild. "The sake is taking over. And I want to know more about you."

She laid on her stomach next to Izuku. They were pretty close but it didn't feel uncomfortable or like they needed to make anything of it. "How about 20 questions?"

"Okay. Start with answering mine." He tilted his head and smirked at her.

"I do get off a bit on it. It gives me a power trip to get into people's personal space." She played with the handle on her mug and took another drink.

"Oh, the truth." He over exaggerated and put his hand on his heart.

"Hush. I get to ask you 2 now. Hmmm, It's only fair that I know what gets you off now."

He through his head back. "Is that sexually or mentally?"

"Depends. Is that your next question?"

"What? No I was just confirming." He sat up now and leaned over to grab his drink.

"Well a confirmation will result in a question deduction. You want confirmation then you have to pay the price."

"Fine. I'll pay the price. What it is?"

She snorted and took her last drink. "Sexual. I want to know what gets the innocent Izuku off." He poked his head while she said that.

"Gosh. I knew you'd take the dirty route." He laughed finished his drink.

"You really want to know what gets me off?" Izuku leaned into her personal space this time and in what he thought was a quiet voice he told her, "What really gets me he off is right here."

Rin could not hide the blush on her face and the way her heart started to race.

He watched her face change colors and he bursted out laughing and waved his hand in her sight. "I was talking about my right hand man." He winked at her.

"You are such an ass." She pushed him and took both of their cups to get refills.

Midoriya watched the fabric of her sweat pants hug her ass as she swayed to the kitchen. When she reached over he noticed her shirt lifted to show the sliver of pale skin.

"Does that disappoint you?" He asked as he watched her drink a bit more.

"YES! It would make me really happy if you got off to me."

"If that's the case then I'll be sure to call you the next time I need a release." He was joking but a bit of him hoped for truth.

"Why were you avoiding me today?"

"Are we still playing 20 questions?" He walked over and grabbed the ugly mug.

"Sure."

"Do you want the truth?" He watched as she took another drink.

"I would not be asking otherwise."

He huffed and chugged his sake which was not normal for him to do Rin had observed since they started to drink.

"I was jealous you called Ground Zero sexy."

Rin looked super confused. She left that to be even she'll chug her drink too.

"Why would you be jealous of that?"

Izuku could have said many things that he shouldn't so he stuck with a half truth.

"Because I want you to think that way about me." He went to sit on the bed/couch to avoid the situation.

She followed him though and she sat with him. "I never told you that I didn't think that way about you. Izuku, take off your shirt."

He was thrown off by her request but he did it.

She pushed him on the bed and laid half on him. "Relax. We're going to bed."

"I'm confused." Ever as he said the words he wrapped his right arm around her and she cuddled into his side.

"That's okay." He started to rub small circles with his thumb on her arm. The touch was soft. "There is nothing sexier than having someone you can cuddle to bed with."

With a half smile he accepted this. He got better adjusted and pulled the blanket over them.

As the last bits of sake hit him while he was drifting to sleep he pulled her in a bit and kissed her temple.

"Good Night Rin."
