"Yeah?"
"Yes off course it will be fine"
"Off course he will help you"
"Okay, talk to you later bye!"
Nana put down her cell phone a smile slowly creeping up her face as she shouted out Izuku's name. "Izu could you please come here for a bit i need to talk to you" She asked as her sweet voice echoed through the halls of their house.
Izuku was in the kitchen getting himself some water as he heard her voice calling him. He put the bottle of water back into the fridge and casually walked over to the living room where Nana was. She was sitting on the couch wearing blue jeans and a white top as her hands played with the remote.
"Yes Nana?" He asked rather bluntly as she turned to face him. "Could you please sit down for a sec?" He quickly followed her request, jumping over the couch and sitting next to her. "Anything wrong?" He asked only for her to look at her phone and then back at him.
"Well you see, Nemuri had an accident at work and she hurt her ankle" She answered as Izuku tilted his head ever so slightly. "Oh, is she okay?" He asked concerned for the older heroine as Nana smiled.
It made her happy to know that he was always worried about them even when he didn't have to be. Yes they did have dangerous job and yes anything could happen but life sometimes is but a straight line with no turns or twists.
"Don't worry Izuku, she is fine, it's just that she hurt her ankle and now can't move around her own house under doctor's orders" Her answer made him calm down as his shoulders lowered, a slight smile covering his face.
"I am guessing when you say doctor's orders you mean Chiyo's orders?" He joked making Nana chuckle. She, along with anyone else that was a hero or just a patient at her hospital has been at least once under Chiyo's orders and they are strict.
"Yeah she is under Chiyo's orders and in order for her not to break them she wanted someone to help her move around the house and do most of the chores" She said and as Izuku pieced everything together he smiled.
"I am guessing you want me to go" He said throwing his shot and hitting the bullseye as she nodded. "I personally want to have you all to myself but i guess i can let her borrow you for some days" Her voice becoming hasty as she sounded almost jealous.
Izuku blushed, as she grabbed his hand bringing him closer to her. "You are mine, aren't you~?" She asked pausing between the mine and aren't as now both her hands were cupping his cheeks, her fingers hidden under the green mess Izuku called his hair.
"I, ah- i don't k-know what you mean by that" He said honestly making Nana giggled as her face glided closer to him that before. "Oh nothing, you shall see" She said and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before getting up to stretch.
"Well, i am sure that Nemuri will want something for dinner so you better get going" She said and quickly left the room sporting a big blush of her own.
It took Izuku a minute to recover and even after he did his mind was still drowning in the many answers it had along with the comfort and warmth he suddenly felt envelop his heart and body, he was confused but in a way . . . happy.
At Nemuri's House.
It had taken him about ten minutes to get to her house as he found himself enjoying the outside world and taking a bigger walk than he had to. He jumped up the steps of her walkway and knocked on her door.
He got no answer so he knocked again until his brain finally put two and two together. She is hurt and she probably couldn't get up without being in pain. His mind raced as he tried to figure out what to do when suddenly the door opened revealing a tired yet at peace Nemuri.
"Oh Nemuri" He said surprised at the door opening sounding as if she had visited him. "Hey Izu, you came here faster than i thought you would" She said a small blush on her face as she seemed to hide herself behind the door.
The two paused for a second as their blush grew all the more wild when suddenly a grey cat started nuzzling on Izuku's foot purring loudly breaking the two out of their flustered states. "Hey Sushi how have you been?" Asked Izuku as if waiting for an answer from the grey cat.
"I am going to go change so could you please um- step in and look the other way until i tell you not to" She asked rather quickly and he nodded as the cat on his feet started tugging the laces of his shoes.
He smiled and picked it up without any screeching like other cat sometimes do. Nemuri smiled but quickly focused again on the real mission and let Izuku while hiding behind the door all the time.
"Okay now turn around. . . Unless~ you actually want to see me in the state which i am in" She whispered as she pressed herself onto Izuku's back. His body froze as her hands went around his waist and held him tight onto her.
"Come on Izu dear~ wouldn't you like to turn around and use that body of yours to do whatever you wanted to me in my weakened state?" She purred as she lightly bit his earlobe. "Well depends on what that whatever is" He said in a completely out of character move as he turned around and wrapped his hands around her waist.
He wanted to keep her close, not to feel her up but because he wanted to be able to see as least of her as possible, even if his mind had already pictured her almost naked body. "You should be careful what you wish for Nemuri because one day, i might just *sigh* do whatever i want with you" He whispered in her ear as she shivered.
Nemuri was thrown into a loop, she wasn't used to being teased back, she wasn't used to having counter play to her teasing. Izuku, who wasn't known to even flirt even a little, minus his unconscious blurs of compliments and remarks was now playing game with her!
"I-i 'll just go now" She said and hurried off to her room leaving his arms as he turned around to be even a bit respectful after what he just did. The moment her door close he broke as his back hit the wall with force.
He held his head, his hands shaking as he bit his lower lip. "What- what was that" He thought to himself unsure of his own actions. "I-i kn-ow what it w-was but still . . . why would i . . ." He continued to rumble in his head as his mind went back to a doctor's appointment he had with Chiyo.
It was another standard appointment where he got his bloodwork done but nothing more than that. They talked about his ever improving physic and the utmost perfection he had hit as his body seemed to balance everything out perfectly along with some more medical stuff he didn't quite catch.
Though when they got near the end of their appointment she turned to him with a big blush on her face.
"So Izu, how um- have you been getting any urges recently?" She asked as she tried to hide her ever growing blush behind her clip board. It was getting close to cat mating season so she wanted to find out if it had an effect on him.
Though he didn't really understand what she meant so his brain just translated it the best it could.
"I have been craving fish for some time now but i guess that goes hand to hand with my cat quirk?" He said almost making it seem like a question because he himself didn't know if what he had said was true.
"Oh, haha- well no, i meant as in, towards you know, females?" She asked finally getting her sentence out as it was his time to blush. "Oh what am i even asking him he still is just a boy!" She chastised herself as Izuku well out a long and almost pained sigh.
"Well, not in the way i think you mean it. I haven't had the urge to jump let's say Nana for example" He said trying his hardest not to look away in pure embarrassment. She nodded and quickly changed the subject as the two had a hard time to look at each other for some time.
If it had been any other patient of hers she wouldn't have had any problem asking them something like this but with Izuku it was quite different. She knew him well, she knew that if he had a problem they all would probably never learn about it and . . . that he was dense.
As Izuku lost himself in the endless realm of his mind it was not a person that woke him it was a grey cat named Sushi. Izuku was honestly glad Sushi had 'woke' him up as the young boy now stood on his feet with the cat in his arms.
"You grew didn't you?" He asked the cat and it nodded as it understood what he said. It was off course part of his cat quirk something they had figured out by putting clues together. Like the fact that Sushi always seemed to follow Izuku's orders unlike Nemuri's or anyone else's.
He went over to Nemuri's couch and sat down as he looked at the mess that was her house. Okay it wasn't that bad but the sink was full of dishes and the clothes were unwashed and there were cat hairs everywhere and, and, and . . . . okay it was that bad.
He sighed and put Sushi down as he got to work.
Now, while Izuku had recovered Nemuri was still in a world of her own. She was flustered and she was basically moaning into her pillow about how much she hated him and loved him at the same time.
It was quite apparent that she had a crush on the young man and to be honest she had every right to. Except for the fact that there was a bit of an age difference. She didn't mind but had set her mind to only confess to him after he became 18.
She knew she had competition, she was definitely not the first pick from the roster as she had to compete with Nana and the likes of Rumi and Ryuko who she was unsure of if they even liked Izuku in that way but still put herself in a good position none the less.
She had the assets as she told herself but when it came to Izuku she knew quite well that he didn't care about them, he was more of a character and skills kind of guy, sweet and cuddly and warm and nice and so many more things.
He had grown onto her and she liked it.
Now finally out of her moaning into her pillow phase she decided to finally put something over her underwear, that something being a white robe and limped over to her door. She was barely able to open as the sudden sound of a loud and annoying vroom filled her ears.
"Izuku!" She shouted and the sound stopped as he popped his head out of the corner of the room to look at her. He shot her a smile and she slowly opened her arms signaling for help. "Would you mind getting me over to the couch?" She asked as her eyes glanced over at him.
"Oh sure" He said as he quickly got next to her and put her arm around his shoulder. "Really? What are we going to do? Dance to Greek music or something?" She asked slightly annoyed at how ungentlemanly he was being.
Or ungentlemanly was the wrong word maybe he was just being a bit too unforwarded. "Well i guess i will go with plan B" He told himself as he quickly picked her up bridal style and got her over to the couch.
"Thank you" She said honestly as he smiled at her. "Well i am here to help you so if you need anything just tell me" He said as he went to leave the room. "Wait i thought you were staying with me" She said as she pouted cutely like a little girl that wasn't getting something she wanted.
"I am, but i need to organize this mess you have made" His cheerful voice making it seem as if he was talking about another kind of . . . mess. And Nemuri being the closet pervert that she was immediately blushed at the thought of making that other kind of mess.
"But i wanted you to stay with me so we could talk" She whispered under her breath as her fingers played around with Sushi's ears and tail. "We can talk later just give me a sec to clean everything" He said and finally left the room to finish his work.
Nemuri sighed, having forgotten that he could hear even the lowest of whispers dew to that advanced hearing of his.
After an hour he was done with everything and as he looked at his work he smiled proudly. Nemuri on the other hand wasn't smiling, she was bored and in pain. Izuku could hear her pained groans as his supercharged hearing sprung into action.
"Guess i should make her a cup of tea" He thought to himself as he did just that, joining her some time after. "Thanks Izuku" She said as she took a small sip of her drink which he had just handed to her. It was nice and warm as it helped her relax her muscles.
"So how is your leg?" He asked making small talk as she turned to face him confused. She then finally remembered that she was injured and let out a big ah. "It's not hurting that much but my soles are on fire" She said as she tried to reach for them and massage them.
She didn't quite make it, she didn't even get close actually but it was enough for Izuku to ask a rather unique for him question. "Want me to massage them?" He asked as her hands froze stunned after what she had just heard.
"I can't ask you to do something like that" She said giving him an awkward smile as he looked at her confused. "I asked you" He said as her mind froze once more. He was . . . right, he had asked her and she would be a fool not to accept his offer.
"Then sure go on"
Nemuri's feet were bare having only been covered by her slippers before. They were elevated on pillows and her right ankle had been wrapped up nicely. He looked at her soles that were red and seemed rather tense as he let his fingers gently caress them.
He started off light and gentle going into a more normal pace afterwards. His fingers made sure not to miss a single spot and Nemuri was sure they did just that. She was enjoying herself a lot as she could feel the strain on her legs leaver her.
"This feels amazing" She thought to herself as she took another sip of her drink.
"So Nemuri how exactly did you get injured?" He asked as he broke her out of her thoughts. "A villain fell onto me as he fell asleep and made me have a bad fall" She said sharing with him her embarrassing story.
He let out a light laugh as he looked up at her. "You know one time me and Kau were sparring and as she charged me we both tripped because it was raining and we fell onto each other with her horns almost puncturing my head" He said rubbing the back of his head making her giggle.
"What do you think Izuku; have you finally been able to adapt to this new life of yours, it has been 4 years after all" The bomb that Nemuri dropped was quite large in magnitude. It blew away any other thought in his mind as he stopped to think about it.
"I- i guess so" He said rather unsure of himself. "It has been a long time and even after some bumpy relationships everything has worked out fine but it still is quite hard for me to fathom that i am being liked for my quirk"
"The quirk that has made my life hell for so long. The quirk that took me away from my mother and the quirk that in the end brought me to you, all of you"
"I hated it, for almost all my life but if i had to go through all of that just to get back to where i am now i would"
"I am . . . happy. Happy to have all of you and happy to be part of this family of ours. Even when we first begun 'this' i was happy, not because i was liked, i didn't realize that i was until two years ago but because i was virtually free"
"Though even after all that i am sure if i have completely adapted yet. I still don't know what kind of relationship i want to have with some of you. We have certainly cleared it up that you aren't even close to mother figures. No offence but even when you act like older sisters it is still hard for me to see you as that"
He was finally done taking a deep breath as Nemuri opened her mouth to speak. She was smiling, her smile warm and inviting as she lightly inched her head to the right. "Well, Izuku. It is up to you what kind of relationship you want with us"
"And remember, the kind of relationship can change any time but always know that we will care for you until the end"
Izu took a long and emotion filled breath. He looked up at her and as green met sky blue he smiled. "Thanks it means a lot" His honest words hit her hard but she was prepared for them. "I shall always be here Izu, always"
