Epilogue

(y/n) didn't end up getting fired. She was however, forced to do unpaid overtime work for a month to make up for all the damages. On top of all that, her car's engine had fallen right out of the vehicle. Luckily it was parked at the time, but it did mean she was forced to walk home from work every night until she got around to buying a new one.

Our heroine walked along the quiet stretch of storefront for half a block before she paused and turned to look behind her. "You know, you could just walk next to me instead of lagging behind like a creep." Shouta emerged from the shadows and approached, reaching down to grab her hand. "You're less of a target to supervillains if you're not seen walking around with a Hero." He explained, kissing her knuckles.

She gave him a withering look. "You did not seriously just tell me that a woman walking alone at night in heels is less of a target than one walking beside a fully decked out ass kicker."

"That's a fair point." He squeezed her hand in his before continuing to walk beside her.

"So, this is where you always went directly after dinner was over. You patrolled the city at night? No wonder you were falling asleep at five in the afternoon."

He hummed along. "I would have stayed, but I was never sure if I was welcome to stay any longer after dinner was over."

"You're always welcome to stay longer." (y/n) assured him.

"I'll have to remember to take you up on that." He purred suggestively near her ear.

She sighed. "I kind of miss living so close to you. We don't get to spend as much time together as we used to."

"… We could always just live together." (y/n) paused mid step.

"Was that a serious offer?" He shrugged. "If you want it to be."

They faced each other, and she looked deep into his eyes, trying to flesh out if there was any mirth in his gaze at all. Finding none, she smiled, and poked the tip of his nose. "I'm not saying never, but I think we should give It a bit more time. Besides, I haven't even seen what your apartment at U.A looks like. I'm not about to just move in blindly."

He took advantage of the position they were in to encircle her in his arms and pull her flush against his chest. "Would you like to see it now?" he leaned down, brushing his nose against hers before sealing their lips together. Soft and sweet, it was over after only a second, but it still left her breathless.

"Lead the way, Stud."
