Omake: Feelings p 2

"Texas Smash!" Izuku blew away more of the armored pirates who had chosen to raid the town. Their armor cracked as they were launched through the air into their comrades.
Yamato swung Takeru into a large man carrying a bazooka, his armor shattered as he was launched through the air like his comrades.
A large tank thundered down the street towards them. It was clad in the same rounded, orange armor that the pirates wore. Before its turret could take aim, Izuku and Yamato kicked it together and completely destroyed the gun and much of the cockpit, leaving a fainted driver and gunman.
"Who are these guys?"
"I don't know, even the New World has relative no names."
"Their armor is pretty tough, my hands are starting to hurt," Izuku considered using Black Gloves as Harumeg had called them to reinforce his hands, but Black Whip would doubtlessly reveal who he was. Yamato was wearing Uta's oversized jacket as a disguise and Izuku had a face that most didn't connect to a criminal.
"HEY!" A thunderous voice called them out.
Izuku and Yamato turned to see a massive man, in excess of 500cm, garbed in a more ornate version of the armor of the attacking pirates.
"Looks like the captain showed up."
"So..."
"So..."
Harumeg and Uta sat in uncomfortable silence as Harumeg pushed another pirate off the raft onto the shore with her foot.
"Izuku is something, isn't he?"
"He is, that's why I'm so happy that I'm engaged to him,"
"That you are."
Another squad of pirates ran at the raft, some firing guns that missed the nimble Harumeg by a mile. Uta was hidden behind a reinforced wall that easily stopped anything they had from hitting her. Harumeg shot forward and delivered aa flurry of kicks that struck each man in the head and brought him to the ground. She had almost no experience fighting, but she was still a daughter of Charlotte Linlin.
"I like him."
Harumeg let out a deep sigh. "I know that, but he's my fiance, Uta. My Fiance. I would be so happy for you if he had been anyone else, but he's mine. I understand why you feel this way about him, but It's not okay for you to try and date him."
Uta shrank in on herself in shame.
Harumeg had the decency to realize that was a little harsh, if true.
But before she could say anything else, an explosion rocked the town.
...And a familiar figure was launched into the air.
"IZUKU!"
'Everything hurts' was all that crossed Izuku's mind as the blast from the bomb shook him.
The pirate captain had been smarter than expected and had his men fire a large cannon at the ton hall that housed many of the townsfolk. Izuku hadn't hesitated in diving in front of it.
He may have died if he hadn't wrapped himself in Black Whip as a shield. His ears didn't even ring.
"Shinsoku Hakujaku" Yamato screamed as she obliterated the upper half of the captain with a Conqueror Haki-infused strike. The coward died before he knew it.
Yamato sprinted to catch Izuku, leaping into the air and embracing him before he hit the ground.
"Hi Yamato," Izuku muttered and placed a hand on Yamato's cheek. "I can't hear."
"His injuries are moderate, but outright mild considering the circumstances. Either way, your friend will be alright. Try to communicate nonverbally; his hearing won't return for a bit." The doctor informed the girls as gathered around Izuku's injured form.
Harumeg gently grasped Izuku's hand while Uta and Yamato leaned over the bed on the other side.
"Izuku, I know you can't hear me, but I'm glad to see you're okay."
Izuku groggily looked up at Harumeg's concerned face and gave her a small smile. Silently, he rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb.
Harumeg smiled back at him.
Yamato smiled at her lucid friend.
Uta couldn't help the small frown as she watched Izuku and Harumeg bind further. She felt terrible for it.
