Chapter 22
She was having a lot of fun with the children. Thomas with the fireworks quirk was actually also dressed up at Ground Zero. Jet Black made rounds about the different rooms but ended up staying in this room with Henry. Who during the hour had his head light into flames once and had to get his feathers and bandages taken care of.
Deku had to make sure all the different heroes were checking in and see the children that requested them. In all honesty though she thinks that he just didn't want Katie reading his thought any further.
Leo ended up leaving the room at one point and it was just Thomas and Katie.
"I'm going to be the number one hero one day!" She turned to see Thomas come behind her.
"Pew Pew."
"Oh really?" She jumped turning around to chase the boy, "Pew Pew!"
He jumped onto the bed and faces her, "You can't beat me. You're not the REAL Ground Zero!"
Bakugou was late. He hated to admit that he liked being around some of these brats. He had been stopped a few time by some of the children on his way to his destination.
When he was in the doorway to the hospital room he couldn't take his eyes off the woman wearing his costume. It was the type of pride that a man felt when a woman was wearing his shirt the next day.
He also couldn't wash away the narcissistic feeling to be taking her from behind in his costume.
She was chasing the boy around who was also dressed as him. It was a playful scene that felt like a husband walking in on his wife and son.
"You can't beat me. You're not the REAL Ground Zero!" The boy had said.
He took the opportunity to make himself present. Hands turned toward them he did his own, 'Pew Pew.'
"Bang! Bang!" Was his preferred sound effect though. He then grabbed the boy and lifted him onto his shoulders. "You got that right! No one is better than the real Ground Zero!"
He looked down at Rin at he stood on the hospital bed.
Rin looked up at the man in front of her. She'd always found this hero attractive but there was a different allure to him with the playful attitude he displayed.
"I didn't know you liked kids?" She folded her arms and watched him brace the little boys ankles and jump off of the bed.
With his landing he was directly in front of her. Rin's eyes were in line with his lips. She wanted to taste them.
"There is a lot you don't know about me." He smirked down at her.
"I'm going to check on Henry. Do you want to come Thomas?" Katie was on her feet and looking away from the adults.
'I'm sorry.' Rin couldn't help but think because she knew that the sudden appearance had causing impure thoughts through the air.
Henry had agreed and left the room with her leaving Ground Zero with her. They both sat on the hospital beds opposite each other. Katsuki thought it felt like he was looking in a gender swap mirror.
"I'm happy to see you found your gloves." She eyes the glove and couldn't help but feel upset that her stain was nowhere to be seen. She was going to go to hell one day for what she did with those gloves.
She watched his face warp and a twisted smirk appear. They had both waited for this moment. The moment of confirmation. The moment when they both had the clear understanding of what their situation was.
"My neighbor actually returned my glove with some interesting stains on in. I'm really curious what she needed it for." He sat on the edge of the bed now and moved his leg out so that is crossed hers. He felt his body craving to be in close proximity to her. This is all he could go for now.
"Hmm, Maybe she's just a dirty girl. Perhaps you should teach her some manners." She found herself smirking back at the hero.
Katsuki watched her and couldn't help but stare into her masked eyes. He specifically had them made for her. His eyes rolled down her face, neck and to her toned biceps. The 1# Fan button was there.
"It appears that I have a number one fan." He laughed at the situation.
Rin had never heard the hero laugh. Neither as her neighbor or as a hero. It was a nice smile.
"Apparently." She rolls her eyes at his antics. "I'll have to show you just how dedicated I am later. Show you some fan service."
Before their conversation could continue Rin watched as Izuku as Deku walked into the room. That was going to get some use to. But this was a good opportunity to make an excuse to get a little closer to the hero.
"Hey Deku look. I found my twin." She jumped up from one bed to the other. Rin was right on Ground Zero's side and put her arm on his shoulder. "What do you think? Aren't we a good match?" The smile on her face was huge.
Midoriya tried to see the situation as innocent but couldn't get passed the fact that that was his partner. His friend. And her neighbor. But for her it was just another hero.
"I don't know Rin. I've worked pretty closely with Ground Zero." He laughed off her words. She wasn't teasing him but her felt like it could turn into teasing really quick.
Rin now turned her attention to Ground Zero. "Would you say we're a good match? You can't lie to your number one fan." She was still hanging on his shoulder and Amy's comment on her being an invasive lionfish came to mind.
You know what though? Those fish are fucking beautiful.
She knew she was putting Bakugou on the spot. She really didn't care though. Midoriya knew she teased. For her to not tease Ground Zero would have been a little strange. It was too fun to not do it either.
Katsuki watched her and knew that she was enjoying this game of messing with their minds and emotions. She was fishing for a reaction. He'd bite.
"You do wear my clothes pretty well." He smirked down at the woman and then backed up from her, "But that might be only thing we have in common."
"Rejected." She laid down on the bed and over exaggerated her reaction. "Okay okay. Could you do me a favor then and take a picture of me and Deku? I want a perfect picture."
She took out her phone and handed it to Ground Zero. Who simply responds with a 'fine.'
Rin looks at Midoriya, "Is this okay?"
He can't help the smile. "Just make sure to send it to me."
Bakugou felt oddly like a third wheel. He held the stupid phone and found the camera. "Ready?"
Rin stood next to Deku and did the classic 2 peace signs. They were strangely close without actually being close.
"I want another one. Did that one turn out okay?" Rin has headed over to check the photo but Ground Zero was already clicking into the albums.
"Oh." He tuned into the small icons on the screen of her stripping off the suit the night before.
Izuku new exactly what Bakugou had probably seen on Rin's screen. He couldn't help but feel jealous that he had seen the photos. Especially after he had the opportunity to last night if he had just asked.
"Hey, those are for my eyes only." She snatched her phone.
Izuku watched the interaction and how Kacchan smirked down at the girl. "I lied earlier. You don't look good in my clothes. You look better with them off."
He watched her eye the hero. "And to think those were just photos."
The anger pulsed through him watching her tease and flirt in front of him. But she couldn't with him.
Needed it to come to an end. "Come on you two this is a Children's Hospital. And we have our first activity with the kids. We're making bird houses."
Rin saw the red on Izuku's face. Embarrassment or anger? Maybe both.
"I have a child with a hawk head. Isn't the bird house racist?" She questioned.
Midoriya rolled his eyes at her statement.
"Wait. I really do want another photo. But I'll be the one to take it this time." The girl stood next to him and made sure they didn't touch. "It this okay?" He saw the look in her eyes and knew that the okay question was a bit more.
If it was a few moments earlier he would have said yes. But now in his current jealousy state he couldn't not want a tiny bit more.
He wrapped his arm around her waist pulled her close and made his own peace sign. "This is okay."
He watched her smile. She leaned her head against his and made a cheesy smile and a peace sign.
After the picture was taken she turned to him and she dared to ask him, "Would you like to see the pictures? I could send them to you if you like them."
She said it with the intentions of the innocent photos but she and Midoriya both knew what pictures she was really referring to.
He wanted to say yes so bad but instead, "I trust you."
Rin's sad smile was picked up by both Izuku and Katsuki. "Okay."
