Chapter 29

Izuku wasn't happy when he was dismissed from the building. He was officially added to the investigation just a few days ago before coming back to field work. Now Detective Tsukauchi was sending him off. He wasn't happy but he understood the reasoning when the detective firmly asked that he make sure Ms. Samson made it home safety.

The walk through the streets was silent and Midoriya knew that both of them were in deep thought about what had just occurred. It was a regular thing for him to encounter villains. That wasn't the same case for Rin though. Her hand hadn't let go of his arm since the attack.

After the manifested box they were trapped in had vanish she was still wrapped around his body. Izuku remembers feeling her tremble against his body and all he could do was embrace her. All the conflicted feelings he had for choosing her over the villains was gone. This is what heroes do. They protect people. But he couldn't shake that this particular person did hold a bit more significance.

He looked down at Rin holding his arm. She didn't have a frown but her face was neutral. He'd have much prefered a smile.

"Did you still want curry tonight? All Might had messaged me that he could still meet at the CoCo's not far from the apartment. I know it's not the same one you normally go to but being a franchise it should still taste the same and have the same menu."

Rin noticed that he was rambling on and on again. Her hand slide the few inches down his arm to his hand and squeezed it. It sent tiny butterflies in her heart to know that Izuku was trying to make light of the situation.

"I'd really like that." She took her hand back and pulled out her phone to check the time.

19:45

Under that she saw unread texts too.

She chose to ignore them for now.

"Do you eat out with Mr. Yagi often?" Directing her attention to Izuku.

"Yeah, we make a point to get dinner at least twice a month. It's the 2nd and we thought to start November off right. Of course I thought that we'd skip till I got his message saying he still wanted to meet." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"So, you have almost like Father Son meet ups? I think that's nice. Maybe we should set up dinner dates."

"Dates?" She saw his head do a sharp turn facing her.

"Dork. Not like dating dates. It's just that now that you're going to be doing hero work I'd like to know when I'd get to see you."

"Oh." Izuku wasn't sure why but he felt a bit disappointed. Clearing his throat, "How about Thursday? I sometimes have patrols on the weekends. But Thursdays seem to be not to busy."

"Thursdays it is. I also had an embarrassing question that I wanted to ask you."

They reached the restaurant and entered. He hummed for her to continue.

"Well I wanted to see if you could help me develop my quirk."

Suddenly a hand was on her shoulder causing her to jump. Turning she saw All Might. "I think that's a terrific idea. I didn't know that you would be joining us today Ms. Lynn Samson."

"I hope that you don't mind that I invited her." Sitting at the table, "Also, I'd love to help you with your quirk. Is there anything you specifically want help with?"

Rin couldn't help the heavy sigh. "I felt it for the first time in a long time today. I haven't felt my quirk twitching in almost 4 year when I went to Canada. I just need to figure out how long it takes me to develop language and if there is a way to improve it. I felt hopeless today when the Bearded Lady showed up and I couldn't at least hear what she was saying. I felt like I was of no help."

Izuku wanted to grab her, hug her and tell her that she was amazing today. That was likely not the best course of action though. "Rin, if it wasn't for your translations with Master Mime we wouldn't had been able to figure out as much as we did. You did hero work today."

All Might ordered his food, "If the hero work isn't enough incentive for you keep in mind that it was worthy. Then just think about how you get paid triple for the hours."

Rin's head shot up to look at him. "What?!"

"Yep. All field work is triple pay. For heroes it can be a bit tricky to keep track of but thats why the reports and news are actually really important. All patrolling and reporting office work are paid by the hour."

"In that case I'm paying for dinner and I'm getting take out."

Both men giggled and they all took there orders. Rin having 3 orders with 2 of them being of take out.

"We could have a foreign movie night. You had said in the past that your got your Japanese from watching anime. Wouldn't other languages work in the same way?" Izuku chipped him.

All Might and Izuku were sitting in front of her in the booth.

"Yeah." She groaned, "But it's easy to watch something you actually have interest in."

Her friend laughed and started to dig into his food. "Thass th ssass-sser-ffiss of-" He swallowed, "That's the sacrifice of having an awesome quirk."

"How did you discover your ability?" The waitress brought her her take-out in a bag as All Might injected himself into the conversation.

"Oh, well. I don't remember it but my mom said that I started to become a fluent speaker at the age of two. When I had my two years appointment I was at the level of a preschooler. My quirk actually had a pretty negative effect during school though."

"How so?" Yagi

"All through school I never really tried when it came to English or Language Arts classes. I figured that my quirk was enough. I had to go to summer school a lot."

"What's summer school?" Izuku

"I guess it's the fun term for remedial classes."

"Interesting. A linguistic quirk failing her native language." Yagi

"I know. It was really embarrassing. Sometimes I feel like I don't really even understand it." She shrugged and started in her food.

Izuku and All Might started to converse about an upcoming event and Rin ended up zoning it out when her phone vibrated.

Killer Explosion Murderer

Oh yeah. She did have messages. Opening up the oldest.

Killer Explosion Murderer

-Send me more photos

Unknown

-Bakugou gave me your number. Heard what happened at the prison. I hope your safe. Riot

Amy

-Tell me you're okay.

Killer Explosion Murderer

-Better be alive so I get my fix.

Killer Explosion Murderer

-Receptionist at Might Agency confirmed your fucking alive. Tell me next time. *boom emoji*

"Everything okay?" Looking up to see Izuku smiling over at her. He was teasing her.

"Hey, sorry I'm on my phone. It's the age of technology. And I had Amy, Bakugou and Kirishima asking if I was okay."

"It's a vast and yet small world. You're making yourself more friends. I'm glad." All Might put a hand on Izuku's shoulder. He could sense the mixed feelings radiate off the boy.

"That's true. I hate being alone and love having company. Apparently Kirishima heard about the incident and asked Bakugou for my number."

"Hmmm, close with Bakugou? He has come a long way since his extra efforts."

Rin replies back to Kirishima and Amy. Also added Kirishima in her phone as Riot.

"Bakugou Katsuki has a bit of a temper even now. But since his Anger Managment and Social Skills Courses he has gotten a lot better. It took his behavior affecting his rank to make a change but a change is good either way."

"Rank?" Her confusion showed.

"Yep. The rankings will be coming out tomorrow. I'm sure mine dropped after my month away. Kacchan's ranking jumped when he started to work on his attitude. From 37 to 23 on the charts. He's ahead of me now." Rin watched Izuku smile but it felt more to himself then anything, "I've figured out a while ago that although I want to be at the top I just want to be a hero and help as many people as I can. Kacchan's dream is to be number one though. And unfortunately the polls aren't just based on your hero work but also how much you're liked by the people."

"Speaking of people popularity-" All Might was once again talking to Midoriya about stuff she couldn't really relate to. Something about a interview.

Rin looked at her phone again and was trying to figure out how to respond to Bakugou. It was nice to learn a bit more about the guy but it also felt a bit strange because her dynamic with his was completely different.

Looking at his messages if was clear that he wanted to have a booty call. She'd already told herself that she wasn't going to make the first move but she didn't expect him to make the first move so fast either. She did buy him some curry as a thank you though. But she had only intended to just drop it off at his door.

She bit her lip and took the plunge.

-Convince me.

It's all she wrote because she didn't want to be too direct. The annoying '...' appeared and it felt like it took forever for him to respond.

Just when she thought to give up on the matter her phone vibrated and she checked it.

-*Attachment*

He sent her a photo and she was unsure if she should open it here and now. To be fair she was on the other side of the booth and the wouldn't see the photo.

She felt herself sink a bit more into her seat. Her heart raced as she clicked the attachment.

The picture popped up and to her surprise it wasn't a dick pick. It was a simple selfie of himself. It was taken in a mirror and you couldn't see his face.

He was only wearing a pair of black boxer briefs but they hugged him nicely. They were low cut showing off the sexy V that pointed to the bulge the was semi hard.

She thought of what that body could be doing to her.

Convinced she was.

"Everything okay?" Her attention turn to Izuku who was eyeing her.

"I'm fine. But I think that I'm going to head out now." She stood up and grabbed her take out bag. "I got Bakugou some Spicy Thank You curry for dealing with me last night. Best I get it to him while it's still warm."

Midoriya on a mission stood from his side of the booth. "I'll go with you."

Rin's heart raced a bit. Did he know?

"You don't have to. Besides, I feel a bit guilty for being the third wheel on your Father Son outing." She held his eyes trying to get clue but couldn't find any.

"I-" He was about to shoot another fire.

"Izuku, I didn't know these were Father Son outings. We're going to have to tell Mom." All Might brought Midoriya into a hug.

"See you." And Rin fled the scene.

She felt like she was rushing to apartment building and when she got there she sent him a text.

-Entering the Elevator

When she was in the elevator she couldn't help but think about what they were about to start. Were they going to do it at his house? At her house?

The answer to that question was simple when the elevator door opened and she saw Bakugou waiting outside her door with gym shorts and a black tank.

She couldn't help but stop and stare for a moment.

"Quick staring and get that ass over here." He growled.

Rin wasn't going to put off sleeping with him any longer.

All Might and Izuku were sitting in the booth at the curry place and it was completely silent now.

What Rin didn't realize was that Izuku could see her phones reflection in window next to them. He had seen the photo of Katsuki and he knew what it meant.

He had told her that she could sleep with him and he had gotten over the conversation. But here is was coming up again.

The photo was confirmation that he still clearly cared about the topic.

"You know. I'm getting a feeling that your Mighty Might isn't the problem here. Have you considered that you might have feelings for her." All Might said the words that Izuku was scared to admit himself.

"I think you're right. But I don't think the feelings are strong enough to do anything about them. At most I have a small crush on her."

All Might let out heavy sigh. "Whatever you say Izuku my boy."
