Chapter 2: Save the Unsavable
"That bad?" Endeavor asked Moe that nodded over the phone.
"Yeah, he overdose pretty badly so... you don't mind I skip a day or two of work?" Moe half lied. Izuku was really intoxicated last night, but they needed to talk and figure out what to do now.
Endeavor hummed "Are you going to take him to a rehab center anytime soon?"
Moe bit her lip "I... I think so."
Endeavor sighed "I wish I could give you more advice on this but..." There was silence on his side for some seconds before he talked again "Anyways, you can take a couple of days off. Make sure everything is good there."
Moe nodded "Thanks Boss." And with that she hung the phone and sighed. And part of it, was because Izuku was acting like if last night didn't happen.
As she walked to the kitchen, Izuku with an apron saying 'Kiss the Chef', was making breakfast "Hey you. I was just about to call you, foods ready." He said with a smile, the bandage she placed on his head gone already.
Moe sighed "We need to talk."
Izuku lost his smile "Babe, I know yesterday was weird-"
"You are the Wild Rose." Moe stated "You work for the Garden, you are a trained assassin. Am I missing anything?"
Izuku chuckled "Not really. That's what's on my file after all."
Moe gave him a look "What file?"
Izuku smiled and shook his head "Never mind that. Let me serve you some scrambled eggs, extra spicy!"
"Izuku, this is serious." Moe said as she walked to him and he sighed.
"It is not that big of a deal Babe. It is only my job."
"I thought your job was being a bartender."
"That's more of a side gig or hobby."
Moe placed her hand on his shoulder "Izuku." She started and Izuku frowned "Let's talk." Izuku gave her a side glance "Please."
He nodded "Okay." He turned off the stove and took off the apron as he walked to the table "What... what exactly do you want to know?"
He sits down and Moe moved a chair to sit next to him "I want to help you. I know you might have committed some crimes, and... I can ask some friends to make you avoid jail time, so you can be free from The Garden."
Izuku raised an eyebrow confused "You... want me to snitch?"
Moe nodded firmly "Yes. Let's work together, so we can put this behind us."
Izuku frowned and closed his eyes "I can't do that."
Moe frowned "Can't or won't?"
"Both." Izuku pinched the bridge of his nose "Moe, why can't we just forget that I am part of The Garden, and move on. Go back to normal."
Moe frown intensified "Because you are doing something wrong! I saw the crime scenes where you were involved. And I don't want to think that this whole time, I was with... with-"
"A villain?" Izuku asked giving a sad look to Moe who calmed down hearing that.
"You are not a villain Izuku."
He laughed "Yes, I am. You said it, I do crimes. I kill people. Sometimes I torture if they asked me to." He shook his head.
"Izuku..." Moe grabbed his hand "Let me help you. I know you, and... there's a reason why you are doing this, and it is not because you are evil or something like that."
Izuku let out an empty chuckle "I do it because they pay me well, and The Garden gets a good commission of my work. I was taught well, and I grew into a fine specimen as the Director says..."
"Izuku..."
Izuku shook his head "I stand by what I said last night. I won't fight you; I won't resist arrest if you want to do so. And if you want me gone, I will walk into the nearest police station and give myself in." He then looked Moe at the eyes "But I won't talk."
Moe frowned "Let me ask you this; when you met me. When you gave me that beer. Was that an elaborated plan to get close to a hero whose chasing you?"
Izuku frowned, like if he was insulted by the mere idea of what Moe just said "No! Of course, not!"
Moe kept her stare right into his green eyes "Then what was it."
Izuku tightened his grip on her hand "Love at first sight. For more cheesy that it can sound, I just loved you since the second I saw you."
Moe looked down "Then why-"
"It is complicated. But... one day I will tell you. I swear."
Moe nodded "Is that the reason you barely talk about your past?"
"I just don't like talking about it. There's nothing worth in my past."
Moe smiled lightly and caressed his cheek "Your past somehow made you into the man that I love. There must be something of worth telling."
Izuku chuckled, a more lively laugh this time "Not really. I had a childhood like everyone else, I was raised certain way and one thing led to another and I met you." He smirked "I like talking more about my present that my past."
Moe laughed and went to the stove "Sure." She grabbed the pan with the now cold scrambled eggs and placed it on the table "Say, will I ever meet your parents?"
Izuku shrugged "Who knows. They are not really nice people. Mom had a pretty face but always an ugly expression."
Moe grabbed a fork and dug into the food "What's her name again?"
Izuku hummed "That's not important really."
Moe sighed "You are really going to keep me in the dark, are you?" Izuku frowned "Can you at least tell me your last name?"
Izuku rubbed the back of his neck "You really want to know?"
"I think it is time I know it. We've been together for a year and our anniversary is next month."
Izuku nodded "I know, I couldn't forget about it..." He hummed before sighing "Midoriya. Izuku Midoriya is my full name... but..."
Moe raised an eyebrow "But?"
"When we get married... I want to be Izuku Kamiji."
Moe blinked before kissing his cheek "What you say if we start now with the name change? Not legally, but let's introduce you as Izuku Kamiji from now on."
Izuku hugged her "I love Moe."
"And I love you Izuku Kamiji." He chuckled as she grinned "Can you put a movie? I have the day free."
Izuku broke the hug and nodded "Sure, give me a second." As he went to bedroom to set everything up, Moe took her phone, her work phone and typed into the database, the name 'Midoriya'.
