A/N: Sorry it took so long you guys. Life got busy and I didn't have my laptop for a bit. It's easier to get writing done on this thing. I'm excited to get the villain thing on a roll and to have Izuku and Rin's relationship develop in the next coming chapters. I have a layout of how I want the story to go. I'm seeing another 8-10 Chapters. To do it right at least. Again, sorry its so late.
When Rin woke up she stretched her body and she realized that something was missing. Groggily she felt around for Izuku and he wasn't there.
Sitting up and looking around she did see a note taped to the bedroom door.
She crawled out of bed and was instantly pleased with the comfort of the Plus Ultra shirt. It hung down to her mid-ass. The hem tickling the skin that her underwear didn't cover.
When she made her way to the note she saw that it was on All Might stationary and was sticking to the door with UA Plus Ultra Washi Tape. The decorative paper and tape made Rin smile inward to herself. It was these small adorable things that she liked about Izuku. Add in the fact that he even left a note for her at all.
She took the note off the door and folded the sticky part of the tap over to the back. This note was going to be a keeper no matter what it said.
Girlfriend,
I'm meeting All Might to talk about the Circus case. You were invited to join us but I couldn't bring myself to wake you. Your clothes are folded and on the kitchen table. I couldn't find your phone anywhere. If you would like to join us we'll be at the Mos Burger next to Roppongi Station.
Yours Truly, Your Boyfriend
The goofy grin couldn't leave Rin's face. Her boyfriend. The thought was nice. Really nice. Though she knew she had feelings for Izuku she was unaware that they were this strong.
He snapped a shot of the burger and fries on his plate. Making sure to get the Mos Burger logo in the picture. He'd wait till after they were done eating to do anything with it. He was also sure to have nothing else in the photo that gave any details to where he was at.
Social media was a huge thing that played a part in the rankings. That's why about once a week Midoriya was sure to post something under his Deku Instagram page. He understood the appeal a bit. When he was an extreme All Might fan back in the day he would eat and want things just because All Might had it.
For the most part he didn't want the benefits of being a hero. He was a hero because he wanted to save people. Though he did get free phone replacements due to being a pro hero and that was nice.
He had also heard of various other benefits that could happen. Kaminari had shared a picture of some expensive new headphones and it took off for him. Chargebolt was now contracted with the company to sponsor their stuff. The rewards being money and free tech. He just had to pose for a new campaign every now and then. Though Midoriya was told that in the fine print it said that Kaminari wasn't allowed to be seen or photographed using any rival companies products.
"We think we've figured out what the Circus group is trying to do and it's a bit fictional." Fumikage looked down at a case file that he had brought with him.
"Years ago quirks were seen as fictional. How bad could it be?" All Might was making light of the situation. He was really good at doing that. The comical relief.
Fumikage looked both Midoriya and All Might straight on, "We believe that he is trying to raise someone from the dead."
Izuku almost spit out his drink, "What?!"
"With an ability or….?" All Might dragged the question on.
"The artifacts stolen from the museums all have one thing in common according to a prediction." He pulled out the 3 photos. The first being a black fan with a red circle in the center, "This is gunsen war fan," The next photo was of a statue that Izuku remembered seeing in a textbook from school, "A Dogū from the Jōmon period," The last photo was a scrolled painting of birds, "And finally Cranes painted by Kano Eisen."
"All of these are connected to a prediction?" Midoriya asked. He could feel the seriousness radiating off of him high school friend.
"That is correct. The longevity of the cranes, the light weight fierce gunsen and a statues that's durability has kept it standing since the beginning of Japanese history." Fumikage sighed, "A young man a few decades back had the quirk of prediction. Upon touching people and objects he could foresee the intent of the object. Household items were of just daily use unless someone put a future intent on it."
Yagi raised his hand to pause the bird hero. "So you're saying that these artifacts, which are thousands of years apart in age, were GIVEN a purpose with each other?"
"Theoretically, yes." Fumikage answered.
"A knife's purpose is only for the kitchen. BUT if someone has intentions to use it for murder the purpose of the knife would have changed till the purpose was fulfilled." Izuku murmured not really to the group but more so to himself.
"Exactly, Someone figured out that the three articles could be used in a ritual. When the man touched the items his quirk revealed the items new intent. Our Circus Criminals are trying to resurrect someone." Fumikage started to piled the photos back together.
People were started to recognize who was in the train station burger joint. Sure Midoriya wasn't in his hero suit but All Might was a public figure and Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi did have a raven head that couldn't be hidden when he was out as Fumikage Tokoyami.
"Alright then. Let's find the young man and ask him more questions about his prediction." All Might was being optimistic.
Izuku started to eat his burger sensing that the restaurant was soon going to become a lot busier.
"We have already contacted him. He now goes by MONK Kojofuu."
Both Toshinori and Midoriya heavy sighed. Monks go through a right of passage involving them to give up on their quirks, unless outward mutations, as a sign of dedication to become one with the universe. Many people felt that it was wrong but then again you still have dozens of men over the years joining the temples.
"Okay. Now that we know what they want we're headed in the right direction." All Might stood abruptly after speaking and headed toward the entrance. Looking to see what the sudden distraction was Midoriya caught sight of Rin speaking to the manager. There was clearly frustration brewing on her face from the managers words.
"Looks to me that the manager thought your girlfriend was just another fan." Fumikage pointed out.
"Yeah, but I think All Might is straightening it out." And he was. Izuku watched as the manager started to bow abruptly and apologize multiple times.
Rin had a jump in her step as she made her way toward the table. She slid in the booth next to Izuku bumping him purposely in the process.
Midoriya couldn't help but feel his giddy blush appear on his face. There was a different air around them now that it was official.
"I'm glad you could make it. I was going to message you but I think you lost your phone or I couldn't find it."
"That's okay. I enjoyed the love letter that you left behind for me." She bumped his shoulder with her own and proceeded to interlock their fingers under the table.
"Handwritten letters is a dying art. I'm happy to hear that they're still happening in our generation." Fumikage entered the conversation. Simply adding himself in was better then becoming the third wheel.
"It really wasn't a love letter as much as it was a note. But it was still completely unexpected and the All Might stationary really brought it all together."
Izuku's face burned of embarrassment and it didn't seem to fade as the real life All Might sat across from them.
Toshinori's signature smile bloomed, "He has had the same stationary for years. It did not get used often. Some of the stationary could probably get sold for a good price due to its retro hero nature now." He looked back at the manager, "After speaking to the manager, he has changed the store front to closed for the next 30 minutes while we finish up our meeting. In exchange he would like us to advertise on social media. It appears that in the meantime he is going to call in some workers for the coming dinner rush."
Rin looked at the store entrance and already saw that there were onlookers curiosity in their eyes as they began to take out their phones. With only 30 minutes of solidarity Rin opted on not being a bother to the staff by ordering food.
As if hearing her thoughts Rin felt Midoriya's hand move from under the table and move his try in front of her. "You can have my fries."
She answered his gesture with a smile as she grabbed a fry and brought it to her lips. Midoriya wanted to linger in the gesture but was cut short by the camera clicking in front of him.
"I hope you don't mind my tagging you in this post Young Tokoyami." All Might had taken a selfie with the hero while holding the Mos Burger cup in his hand.
"Not at all." The bird hero answered but the response didn't reach his eyes.
"Perfect. Now back to finishing this up." Mr. Yagi continued.
Rin had zoned out not really understanding any that was being said. They were talking about the villains and knowing contacts and how to figure out who exactly they were.
"I've been contacting a friend in France." All Might stated to the group.
"Oh, The Master Mime guy? He's not French." She pointed out while taking a bite of her french fry. She held the internal giggle with the irony of what she was eating and their conversation.
"What do you mean he's not French?" Izuku was puzzled by her statement.
"I mean, yes he was speaking French but it was Canadian French not France French. The dialects are different."
"That makes a huge difference. Do we know anyone in Canada that could help us?" Midoriya looked around the table.
"I might know someone." All Might pondered, "Also, our time is up."
Rin looked over at Izuku as he saw looking down at his phone. Being a snoop she saw that he was on Instagram under the name of DekuBunny0715 posted a picture of his food. She could not hold in her snicker of the classic basic photo.
"Hey." He bumped into her, "Don't laugh. People actually like this shuff for some reason."
Rin held in the laugher and kissed Izuku on the cheek. "I believe you. I'll be sure to be your number one fan once I get a new phone." They were sliding out of the booth when Rin snagged All Mights shirt sleeve, "Umm, Speaking of, Mr. Yagi, uhh. Weell. Umm."
All Might could see the struggle. "I received your request for leave this week. With your phone gone that's probably why you haven't received your confirmation email."
"Oh. Awesome!"
Making their way out after taking care of their trays of trash, "You request time off?" Midoriya eyed Rin. It was the first that he was hearing of it.
"Well, yeah. It's Thanksgiving. I know you all don't celebrate it but I was hoping to host something for you guys anyways."
Izuku lips grew. Rin was always thinking about others in her own way. "How about in exchange for hosting my first Thanksgiving I help you with getting a new phone tomorrow. I can get you the hero discount."
"Sounds like a date." She answered grinning.
Midoriya wrapped his arm around her waist. "Yes. Now, let's get out of this mad house." He guided out of the the restaurant through the growing crowd of people.
