Chapter 1: Bad Job, Worse Tendencies
Moe hummed as she turned on her bed and hugged the torso of her longest relationship yet, Izuku. They were on her bed after another great fuck and the worse aspect of her life, her love life, has been solved.
Izuku stirred awake and looked at her "Hey you." He said with a smile and kissed her forehead.
Moe hummed contently "Hey handsome." She looked up with a grin "How you did you sleep?"
Izuku smirked "Great, how could I sleep any other way after last night?"
Moe barked a laugh "You say that every time we fuck, y'know?"
Izuku shrugged "That's why I can say that every two nights, I have a great sleep."
Moe slapped his chest and cuddled some more "I don't want to go to work... Can you call Endeavor and tell him we want to cuddle?"
Izuku hummed "Sure, I bet he will hear the boyfriend of his favorite sidekick." He joked and looked at the cat clock that was in the nightstand. "Besides I have some stuff to do."
Moe frowned "Really?" She gave him a questioning look "You didn't tell me you have day shift at the bar."
Izuku stretched as he hummed "I don't have day shift today. It is just something I have to do, and I might come back late today."
He frowned seeing the suspicious look on her face and hugged her tightly "C'mon, don't look like that. I like seeing you smile not frown."
Moe hummed in his chest "You promise me, you are not cheating me?"
"I promise you. I only have eyes for you after all." She knows he is smiling, that smile that she loves so much and that always calm her down.
She hugged him back "I believe you... at what time you have to be there?"
Izuku looked at the clock "I have time for some breakfast. Want some scrambled eggs?" He smiled "Extra Spicy?"
Moe huffed and broke the hug "If you make them, always."
As Izuku got dressed and went to the kitchen to make them breakfast, Moe put on a hoodie of Izuku and went to bathroom. The hoodie was black, and it was big on her, so she didn't bother putting anything under it.
As she opened the cabinet, looking for her hero's mask, she accidently bumped a drawer and a small navy bag fell to the floor.
She raised an eyebrow and carefully picked it up. She opened it and saw that inside, there were pills. Lots and lots of pills. And from what she can tell, from her experience busting drug deals or breaking into drug dealers' homes, they might be painkillers.
They have some few painkillers in the medical cabinet but this... she didn't know they or Izuku had so much.
She gulped as Izuku called her "Babe! Food's ready!" Moe nodded as she closed the bag and stuffed it into the pocket of the hoodie.
As she sat down with a plate of scrambled eggs with a mug of coffee in front of her Izuku grabbed some sugar from a portal he made.
His quirk is useful. It is called 'Storage', he can place anything into a pocket dimension, that acts as a storage. And as long he knows what he wants, the storage will hand it to him.
"Sugar?" He offered after he put some in his coffee. The sugar had on a yellow tag 'Sugar', an easier way for the storage to know what it is going to grab, is, for some reason, be labeled.
Moe, wanted to ask him about the pills, but... if he needs help, he can ask her, and she didn't need to force it. So, she smiled "Sure, some for my coffee and some for my lips."
Izuku chuckled as he leaned to kiss her as he poured the exact amount of sugar she likes. If he needs help, he will ask for it. Because he looks fine.
*Endeavor Agency*
She has desk duty today, and while doing her job, she searched something, that her boss wasn't supposed to see.
"How to know if someone close is a drug addict?" Moe closed that window as she heard Endeavor behind her, read out loud the window she just closed.
"Jesus Boss! How come you are so quiet!?" Moe complained and Endeavor huffed.
"You didn't answer the door or react to it opening. But," He made a motion to the pc "I can see you might be worried."
Moe sighed and grabbed the bag from her pocket "I found this in the bathroom today and..." Endeavor opened it and his eyes widen for a second.
"These are a lot of pills." He simply stated and Moe nodded.
"I noticed that. All seems to be painkillers though." she sighed "I found it today and... I don't know how to tackle it."
Endeavor hummed "Just confront him. If he has a drug problem, he might need to realize it first. And once it is done, you can take him to a rehab center."
Moe hummed "It... is a good idea. Thanks Boss."
Endeavor nodded and left. Moe looked at the bag and nodded. She can do this.
Once she was back at their apartment, she sat on the couch, put the bag in front of her, at the table and waited him to come back, as she practiced what she was going to say.
She arrived at their home at 8PM. Once the door opened again, it was dark and 4AM.
Izuku groaned, in a combination of tiredness and pain as he noticed Moe's green flame hair glowing on the dark "Moe? What are you doing awake?"
He sounds... concerned as she tossed him the bag "Found this in the bathroom. Care to explain?"
Izuku sighed as he opened the bag "Look, can we talk about this tomorrow? I am tired and dirty, and I want to take some rest."
Moe frowned as she turned on the lamp to look at him directly "No, we are talking about this now! Why do you have so many- holy shit!"
She stopped her speech, seeing that Izuku was bleeding from the head. She rushed to him "What happened!?"
Izuku frowned "Nothing. I am fine."
She dragged him to the bathroom and noticed that his clothes were... odd. A tight black shirt, a white baggy gi pant with a black martial arts belt around the waist and tai chi shoes.
He never wore anything like that before.
As she sat him down on the bathroom, and started to see the wound, she found some glass shards and Izuku sighed "You can go to bed, I'll clean myself up."
Moe gave him a worried look "Izuku, what happened? Why are you dressed like this?"
"Where were you?"
Izuku closed his eyes "I... don't worry about it."
Moe looked at his wound and let out a breath "Look, you tell me here, and we will solve it together. We... we are a team. You and me, and no matter what, I will never leave you alone in a bad place."
Izuku slowly looked at her with a pleading look "You mean that? You will stay with me?"
Moe smiled and hugged him "I promise."
Izuku nodded and sighed "You work in a hero agency; you are a hero working under Endeavor... you are investigating The Garden too."
Moe eyes widen and broke the hug too look at Izuku conflicted expression "How do you know that? The Garden isn't public knowledge."
Izuku gave a hollow smile "Yeah... The Principal is good at hiding..." Moe started to shake; she didn't like where this is going "But anyways, you know about them, an organization of assassins, hired guns, whoever you want to call them, all the members going with flower related names. Thorn Princess, Petal Dancer, yata, yata..."
Moe took steps back as her hair became active... "Anyway... Endeavor had been assigned one..." Izuku sighed "Wild Rose. A violent member of the organization, always leaving the targets brutalized. Effective but dirty."
Moe felt tears coming to her eyes "You..."
Izuku eyes were filled with tears "I'm sorry... but I am Wild Rose."
Moe grabbed a piece of her hair and threated to throw it "Stay back!" She screamed as tears fell from her eyes and Izuku laughed an empty laugh as he raised his arms and stood up "You... You are under arrest!" She breathed heavily as Izuku came closer.
"Babe..."
"Don't call me that! And I told you to stay back!" She cried and Izuku looked struck.
"Let's... hear me out, okay? I can explain and everything will make-" Moe threw the fireball to his face and Izuku didn't even flinch. He didn't react. He wasn't even burn. He dropped the arms to his sides as he looked... broken.
Moe run away, out of the building and once she was on the streets, she screamed. What the fuck is going on!
Thankfully she had her phone with her and glared at it. They had been chasing the Wild Rose for months, almost a year... but... she knew Izuku before that.
Izuku who hear her complains.
Izuku who watches cheesy movies she likes with her.
Izuku that her parents love.
Izuku that she loves.
Izuku that loves her.
She let out another frustrated scream and sat against a light pole. She should call for backup and arrest him... she should arrest the Wild Rose.
She wants to help Izuku.
As she opened the door of their apartment, the first thing she noticed was Izuku with a lost look, sat against the kitchen counter, with the navy bag on his hand, eating the pain killers like it was candy.
Izuku gave her a glance "The backup arrived soon..." he commented, and Moe walked to him.
"You didn't run away."
Izuku nodded "What's the point... if I am not with you... what's the point..." Tears started to fall from his eyes and let an empty laugh combined with a sob "I understand if... if you want to cut me out of your life. I won't fight you. I won't resist arrest... If you want me gone I will-"
He stopped as Moe hugged him "We... we need to talk. But I won't leave you, okay?"
"But-" Moe grabbed his face carefully and looked at his eyes.
"I won't, leave you." Moe said "I love you Izuku. And I will save you. Not because I am a hero, because I am your girlfriend."
Izuku hugged her back as he cried "I love you Moe... I love you..."
Moe hugged him back "And I love you too... Now." She grabbed the bag "Stop the painkillers for now. Let's clean that wound and let's sleep a bit. Tomorrow we will skip job, and we will talk about... all this, okay?"
Izuku nodded "Okay..." He tried to stand up, but he was way too high on painkillers, so Moe carried him to the bathroom.
Izuku, in a half sleep and mind clouded with the painkillers, just kept muttering 'I love you.'
As Moe put him on bed kissed his forehead "I love you too Izuku..." She said as she started to plan for tomorrow.
