On a rooftop far away, Deku came in for a landing, set Kuri. down gently.
"This is where you get off." Deku said.
"Promise?" Kuri said.
He turns to go, but she held onto him.
"You're bleeding!" Kuri said.
She pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped it around his hand, where the boomerang slashed him.
"Does that hurt?" Kuri said.
He shook his head, in heaven, thrilling to her touch. She moved her hand around on his arm, feeling him.
"Wow." Kuri said.
She slid her other hand lightly over his chest.
"You are built." Kuri said, pretending she didn't know that already. Pretending she didn't always have her magical eyes on him.
"I... got to go..." Deku said.
He leapt up onto the side of the building, doing a mid-air flip so he was clinging to the wall upside-down, right above her head.
"Hey! Don't I get to say thank you this time?" Kuri said.
She stretched up, on her tiptoes, and leaned in close to him. She kissed him, open-mouthed, brushing her lips along the outside of his mask. He nearly swooned, leaned in for more, giving her a long kiss.
"I really gotta go." Deku said.
But he didn't move. She whispered, close and breathy.
"How come? Got a Mrs. Deku waiting somewhere?" Kuri said.
He pivoted and took off, disappearing over the edge of the building. Kuri rushed forward and watched him swing away into the city. She was breathless.
"Amazing." Kuri grinned.
