The streets of the city were not quiet when a large group of heroes were out in force, clearing the area for traffic to move. Thankfully, no one was hurt when a fast-moving vehicle sped down the road.
The vehicle was a bank armored car escaping after the excellent planned capture of the vehicle. The robbers were enjoying the moment, readying their Quirks with elation and their blue tongues protruding when they saw Ryukyu flying over to track them down.
"Kikai, you've got him on your trajectory." Warns the heroine from her communicator.
"I'm on it!" Izuku exclaims, running and jumping at high speed over the cars with his Quirk activated. His excellent accuracy meant that he didn't generate any weight on them.
"Nejire, prepare to hold them off in case his plan fails; Floppy, Uravity, prepare to assist either of them."
"They're ignoring my attacks! That dissipation Quirk is really annoying!" complained the light blue-haired one when she noticed her spiral attacks being faded by the guy on the roof who was waving his palms like he was amateur kung fu warrior.
The girls prepared themselves in the sector freed by the crowd, seeing Izuku running directly towards them from the left. That's when they saw the vehicle approaching from the right at full speed... There would come an impact.
"Get ready." Floppy warns, clutching her friend's waist with her tongue. Uraraka looked firmly ready when she heard her. "I'm still wondering how he'll stop it..."
"Ryukyu-san said that both of them have already simulated it before to that..." The chestnut muttered with some annoyance, her friend noticed and elbowed her to react to the spot. She noticed and sighed.
Izuku passes them, which overwhelms them and prepares them for an angled throw. But then they are worried when they see him jumping out just as the vehicle seemed to be about to run over him, stomping with all his might on the front of the vehicle which immediately devastated, bursting the engine and bumper, lifting the entire front of the vehicle. The guy facing Nejire flew away, disoriented, reason why Uraraka didn't even take long to be launched to catch him, activating her Quirk on both of them to prevent them from tragically impacting the ground.
Upon landing, they were shocked when they saw the huge vehicle towering above them, covered by Izuku who had hugged it as best as he could to hold it, being then that Ryukyu appeared flying over, taking it with her claws to lower it, allowing Nejire and the boy to tear off the respective doors to seize the thieves dizzy by the brutal jolt. They both watched as the heroine watched them with folded arms, calm, as the heroes assistance they requested analyzed the wreckage for a possible fuel tank explosion.
"I hope I don't have to see any resistance from you. You don't want me to ask her to hurt you." Ryuko warned him.
"Huh? Who? AGH!" The thief asked, being quickly embraced by Floppy's tongue, who apprehended him while the police quickly took care of the rest.
As the girls took it upon themselves to assist the cops in arresting the criminals, Ryuko looked at the boy out of the corner of her eye and smiled at him with pure love. He noticed and raised an eyebrow, infected by the smile.
A month has passed since that declaration between them. Since then, their relationship changed in parts; except for certain things that added up, and for the good that she no longer tried (as much) to have him to herself all the time.
"What?" He whispers to her with amusement.
"You were excellent. That you mastered 30% of your Quirk and could hold that vehicle for a few seconds on your own is a pure demonstration of your excellent training performance." Assures the heroine in whispers, satisfied. "Excellent work everyone." She loudly reaffirms for the approaching girls to hear. "Especially Uraraka and Floppy for keeping that guy from breaking his teeth. That was very reckless and irresponsible, Kikai. The practice was to only hold back from behind, not from the front. That guy relying on your partners is a big mistake."
He nodded seriously, without rebuttal. He knows his... Partner... When she's right. The rest listened attentively as he was the only one scolded. In one respect, he understands. In another, he just tenses up at how she tries to disguise how little she cared that the guy got away unscathed being that she had just complimented him.
"Don't do it again if possible..." She warned seriously, which made the guy tense up even more for feeling that she did mean it. "Okay, it's time for a break. I'm going to be a while because of paperwork with the police, I'm going to assist them."
"Oh, I'm coming with you!" Nejire said just to go to her side. Izuku looking sideways, knowing how suspicious it would be for him to go, sighed and approached his companions with his usual sympathy.
They moved on to a tent. They ordered some drinks and sat at the tables outside. Uraraka and Tsuyu in front of him, who is engaged in watching the street, distracted, but in a good way. Full, healthy and even very happy. That was very different from the usual Izuku.
"Kikai-kun, are you okay? You've hardly spoken." Ochako asks with honest concern. He just looks at her calmly, doing a grimacing thing to explain, trying not to say how obvious it is that he's chatted so much with his... Girlfriend, that he almost didn't even feel like talking as he felt satisfied with her company... And other things...
"And drink." Floppy notes with those eyes so piercing that he can't help but have a twitch just as he avoids them. He fears that this one has hunches about him from the time she caught him almost in red handed with Ryuko. "Is it because of Tatsuma-san's scolding?" he sighs at that.
"I'm fine. Ryuko's right, it was a mistake to do that knowing that there was someone on top of the vehicle... It's just that I'm worried about the assault that's soon to come. The investigation included Endeavor and Mirko... That means, with so much power in need, we'll run into something bad... Or someone very bad."
Part of it wasn't a lie. He was worried about the future operative who confirmed the need for two big top heroes... His conclusions do not vary in the face of only one probability: a nomu or one of the villains that are part of Shigaraki's group.
He fears because, with this new relationship, they will both have to take care of each other and make sure that everything goes well. He knows perfectly well that he must obey the orders of whoever it is for the success of the operation, he has been preparing for this for so long.
Ochako encourages him, assuring him that everything will be fine. However, he doesn't notice that they both seem to have paid a lot of attention to the treatment he had with the heroine. Asui suggests him not to think too much about it and stick to the safe thing: The now. He can't help but smile with some amusement at the frog's words.
"Always with something wise to say, right, Onee-san? Maybe you should open up a psychology center when you get enough money together." He plays with a recent nickname, which totally surprises her, along with Uraraka, but makes the former laugh, being that she is mysterious with her answer.
"I'll keep that in mind. I'm running around in practice with a very volatile patient lately."
He raises an eyebrow at that response, but doesn't get to consult when he sees Ryuko and Nejire approach. His expression brightens, noticed by his companions who turn as well, but they all tense up quickly when they see the seriousness in both of them. In the blonde's hands, a briefcase.
"Today's service is over." She whispers with some distaste. "We have an immediate meeting. Let's go back to the office."
He can't help but swallow deeply as his suspicions are clarified...
...
He wasn't wrong. Izuku's expression is extremely tense in his civilian attire when he sees everything in front of him in the conference room they had attended: Ryukyu and his interns were in front of Endeavor and his son. To the outsider's eye, he recognizes low-ranking heroes known for their holding roles, of the recent popular ones "Kamui Woods" being the standout.
"Endeavor." Greets the blonde earnestly, this one looks at her, nodding. "Ryukyu." He returns the greeting, noticing how his son was already talking to Midoriya.
"You look terrible." Shoto informs, which makes Izuku sigh with some amusement. "How are you doing with so many women?"
"And you look great, huh?" his friend greets with amusement, intriguing Shoto by how different his friend is from his usual personality. "Pretty good. What's more, it's better than hanging out with Torino... Although, considering it, anything's better than that... Anyway, why is so much effort needed from the heroic team for this operation?"
"Ah, it's because it was discovered that they're producing Trigger in a newly installed position. The heroine Mirko discovered it, but reported that the problem was that there were several villains with Transformation Quirks that would be transported to generate a smoke layer in case the location was discovered. Because we know this in advance, we should prepare to prevent the assault team from being available to follow while we take care of the distraction."
Izuku blinks twice with his eyes wide open as he looks sideways at his friend. The latter notices the intrigue and raises an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Todoroki-kun, your father telling you this is for you to keep it to yourself, I would eventually find out..." He notifies the boy with a tense expression how much less.
"Shoootooo!" The flame hero exclaims, catching both of their attention as he approaches. "You mustn't tell them the plan yet, we're here to evaluate it!"
"We waste time with formalities." He acknowledged with his typical flat to serious expression. The man fell silent, seemingly agreeing with his son, which brought a tear to the back of everyone's neck for seeing how they both thought alike.
"Keigo would die to see this. Like father, like son." A new voice announced, catching everyone's attention and seemingly tensing the blonde. "Hey, Ryuko, it's been a while since we've been to a bar! Let's go for a drink later!"
Everyone then notices Mirko, the rabbit heroine, walking in with Katsuki, who is impassive but calm. The blonde heroine made a groan of discomfort that Izuku was quick to notice. The two clashed glances for a second and she made an obvious gesture that she owed him an explanation with her head.
"Stop yelling, you old goober!" the blond exclaims, embarrassed at how the bunny had the luxury of being so free for the time and place.
"Haaaa?! But you're yelling too, you little brat?!"
"And who's to blame?!"
"Are you insinuating that I'm trouble?! You were the one who was shaking not to make a sound when we saw those jerks mobilizing those canned Nomus into those portals!"
Surprise captured Izuku. Nomus! Shigaraki was on the rampage!
"Calm your tits, ladies." She stops everyone's phantom demands for what she knew, earnestly. "They took everything and rearranged the place for the making of more Trigger, just like it failed last time when Ryuko and her boys broke in with the police. I didn't go in just because we were passing through and it was a fluke that we heard all the racket they were making there."
"The assault by three giant villains. Yeah, they use them as smoke trails." The blonde explained, glancing sideways at Izuku who was looking frustrated.
Mirko laughed and pointed at the green-haired boy cheekily. "I understand now why Ryuko accepted you into her agency. Not only your Quirk, but also the fact that you've been raiding twice already for a first year brat... You're good at this whole business of getting into trouble thing, aren't you?"
Shoto looked at her as one would look at a god of truth. Ochako and Tsuyu looked at this one and the boy back and forth, with the frog snagging Katsuki looking at her from time to time. Izuku was practically embarrassed at how everyone had that perception of him.
"That... That's too accurate to be speculation." Shoto agreed, causing his friend to give him a dirty look. "What? She's right."
"That's enough." Catches the eye of the detective who settles into one of the seats. Everyone goes along with the act, settling in where it belonged. Izuku sat down next to Ryukyu, on his own being left in the corner next to her. Ochako watched this out of the corner of her eye on the other side of the heroine, certainly frustrated. "The main call came from Ryukyu-san's and the intern, Kikai-kun's, report of new incidents with Trigger two weeks ago in his idle activities. After the limited investigations were confirmed, a thorough investigation was prepared and raided, under my participation, a week ago. The whole thing was a fiasco as there was nothing there and 3 villains, affected by drugs, broke in to generate distractions. Mirko just presented photographic evidence of the new location, intending to storm it with major reinforcement to avoid the smokescreens of an instant escape. Endeavor-san presented a plan of action. I want us all to be weighing in on it..."
...
The meeting was over. Izuku sighed as he waved goodbye in the distance to Shoto who waved back as he left. He then noticed Katsuki beside him with a calm face that he couldn't help but be terrified by it; the blond was infuriated by that reaction.
"Ryuuuko~!" greeted with a certain sweetness the rabbit who tried to, apparently, hug the blonde. Izuku shivered, ignoring Katsuki's tantrum and threats, who was surprised that his attention was focused on the women. Ryuko prevented this by enlarging her arm enough to catch her with one hand. The rabbit's catty grin only signaled trouble, they all understood. "Let's go have a drink, just like old times!"
"I have work. What's more, I don't go out anymore and I don't want to, Mirko-san." She replied coldly and looking at her with her usual professionalism. The brunette giggled, evidently not giving a shit about that answer, which made the green-haired boy grimace.
"Waaaaa! How boring and cold you are now!" Mirko complained between laughs. "Invite us to eat at your agency!"
"And so do I just pay, just like all the times before?" She answered her, even colder and now annoyed.
They all grimaced at that. It was clear they had history and the dragon seemed to have come off badly in it.
"Alright, alright, I'll leave you alone, but I'll drop by to see you sometime soon!" She explained to her with a small blush and a beautiful smile that only managed a protruding vein on the dragoness' forehead who, more annoyed, released her after a shake to which the doe reasserted herself in mid-air, unharmed. "Hey, Kaboom, we're leaving!"
The blond didn't even argue and went after her. He seemed to have gotten used to her witticisms. It was when he turned around and Izuku waved at him, that even though he showed he wanted to insult him or something, he just grunted and turned his back. The green-haired boy turned around, seeing Tsuyu smiling with her arms behind her... It seemed like Katsuki was never looking at him in the first place...
"Okay, that's enough. I want to go home." Ryuko muttered at a lazy pace towards the exit. Everyone followed her with a tear drop on the back of their necks at the obvious exhaustion in the woman.
...
Afternoon off. After a quick lunch out, they returned and everyone did their own thing. Izuku settled in his room, writing in his Quirks analysis book, rambling about Ryuko.
He traces a few lines as he thinks... Ryuko Tatsuma. Short blonde hair, bangs forward covering one of her eyes. Slit, golden eyes. He doesn't deny having lost himself in them on more than one occasion. Even she admits that they are so beautiful that if they were jewels she would have ripped them out (creepy jokes with a rude sense of humor hidden in her noble and reserved bearing. Only seen by those who could deign to meet her). Sharp teeth; he has seen her use them on raw meat once. One of her shameful habits (and almost all perfect and permanent reminders of her powerful Quirk).
Her family lineage. The inheritance of a Quirk that preserves its secret under exclusive scientific administration, with the conception of giving it all to the Japanese government on demand. It's the only way no one would know anything but the Quirk's potential, plus nothing about the family line and various other things.
And yet, even coming from a family of wealth and power, Ryuko was a dignified, kind and humble woman. Lending her all, giving more than she should and helping everyone. Her weakness for children, shiny things and endless other things surprised him, because she does not hide them from anyone, but only people who are not afraid to approach her because of her appearance and presence know about them.
Before the world, she is an unattainable jewel. Current tenth place in the Hero Billboard Chart in Japan, which makes her a strong and respectable person, more than she thinks she deserves...
That's why he is grateful to meet her on another level. He has seen that she loves to spoil others, but also loves to receive affection very much. She loves chocolate, as well as junk food (which she tries to restrict herself for fear of losing her figure). She loves to cuddle and watch TV series (the whole group did this more than once. There he discovered that she loved to snuggle with him). She cares about looking good, more for herself than anything else... He's gotten to know so much about her in such a short time, in such an intimate way, that he's only grateful to have spent the time together.
Suddenly, hands cover his eyes, and he becomes exalted by it. But he can't do anything when he hears a totally recognizable voice.
"What are you doing, Izuku?" greeted Ryuko looking at what the boy stopped doing. She was surprised to see a detailed drawing of her along with other sketches of her face, which she let go and took the notebook to admire it. "Waaaa~! You draw beautiful~! I look great~! I love it~!"
"R-Ryuko! H-H-How did you...!" He was surprised, embarrassed by the unexpectedness of the act. That's when he saw a sort of aisle where his bookcase should be. He was surprised at this and looked at her, to which she put a finger to her lips with a mischievous smile.
"Shhh..." She whispered, as a childish prank. Her beautiful face embarrassed the young man even more. "'Later I'll show you how to use it so you can go to my room. Since they are connected; each room goes to the other. Only ours is shared~." She explained vaguely, then laughed as she saw him blush. "I'm kidding, i'm kidding! Well, not so much. They're emergency exits for whatever, but it's still true that only yours connects to mine. Nejire is next to yours and I covered it with your bed just in case... I never told her this because I well know she is dangerous and would use it many times just to annoy."
Izuku had a tear drop on the back of his neck as he scolded her with his gaze. As if she almost didn't scare him to death for sure...
"Anyway, I'm bored and wanted to see you. You drew me beautifully. I want a portrait someday." She expressed with amusement, handing back the book which he took, ashamed.
"I'm not that good, I've only been practicing for years..."
"Well it's good for me, so it must be good for you." She expressed, giving him strength. This one just sighed in embarrassment at the vote of confidence. She sat on the bed, watching him put down the book to look at her from the swivel chair. "Then, I owe you an explanation I think."
Izuku reacted. Mirko came back into his mind just then. He nodded in anticipation of a story, interested.
"We were friends at the hero school we trained at. Though we both had our... Stuff with each other." She tried to explain vaguely, giving it a better form. "Rumi is particular, you know? She liked to hit on everything and would go out with guys just to see if they had character, strength or just to have fun with them. Most of them thought they could take her... Only to be demolished because of the way she is. She's rough and very few can cope."
"Kaachan seems to carry it well." He says, then corrects himself as he sees her get serious at that. "Sorry, I mean, Bakugou."
"Izuku." She caught his eye. "I totally understand that you ignored and forgave all the bad things he did to you, but we talked about it. He doesn't treat you the same way, so I ask you to stop treating him the same way... Now, as your girlfriend, I can't allow you to be so nice to him... It's either that or I beat him up until he apologizes."
"Ryuko, please, no beating." He asked her with a heavy sigh. His gaze on the floor as he thought about what she said. When they were getting to know each other, they shared some of their past (more him because he couldn't help but blow it all out when she really wanted to hear him talk). It was hard to use OFA to stop her from activating her Quirk to search for the blond and dissuade her from not hunting him down to kill him.
On the upside, it looks like the blond has been calming down with Mirko around. That's a good sign. But Ryuko insisted that he should call him by his last name until he deigned to apologize for everything he did, something Izuku reluctantly agreed to. He didn't care anymore, he was a hero, that was all that mattered to him.
"It's not so much about you, Izuku. But you must make yourself respect you, well you know I've told you that." She reminds him more gently. "You're too good and kind for your own convenience... That's why Ochako has eyes on you..." She ended up whispering in annoyance which intrigued him.
"Hmm? Who what?"
"Nothing, nothing." She dismissed it then leaned back as she looks at him with a beautiful smile. He knew where that would go. "A little kiss?"
He stood up from the chair and knelt beside her. She was quick to rearrange herself and hug his head as he gently caressed her cheek. The expression on her face was lovely, but he couldn't help but be annoyed by her fringe, brushing it aside, much to her surprise, when he planted a kiss on her eye, closed by the unexpected act. That made her laugh delightedly at the affection manifested.
"You know I hate those bangs." He reminded her with amusement as he gave her another on her now uncovered cheek. She laughed again, enjoying the closeness to stroke his curls between her fingers. "But it looks so good on you..."
"Maybe I'll consider cutting it. I can try a change of look... You will too." She assured herself, which made him raise his eyebrows.
"Is there even a good cut for this kind of hair?"
"Leave it to me. We'll go to a cool hair salon for it." She stated confidently, gently biting his cheek and tugging, to which he let go and mumbled something unintelligible. Releasing him, she licked the affected area as he resigned himself.
She pulled him in and they kissed. From sweet and tender, it quickly turned to something more intimate as their tongues collided and he rearranged himself on the bed, on top of her, who welcomed him with her legs crossed around him, grasping him with pleasure as they caressed each other.
Purring. Izuku had gotten used to that, as it started to happen whenever he lay on her. He never asked about it, as it didn't bother him either, much less upset him... That, on the contrary, assured him that he was doing something right.
Then, when his hand was about to caress her hip, someone knocked on the door, interrupting them. They both looked intrigued, to which she then broke away from him and fled through the gap in the bookcase. As she passed, it reappeared and adjusted itself on the wall. That explained everything...
"ONE SECOND!" He exclaimed as he conditioned himself and made sure everything was okay, praying that they had heard him. The concrete walls were good at retaining noise, making them almost soundproof. "Damn it, Ryuko. I can't live like this..."
Opening up, he was surprised to see Tsuyu quietly standing by. This one just analyzed everything with her eyes quickly to then look him in the eyes and speak to him.
"Midoriya-kun. Can we talk?"
He blinked twice to finally nod and let her pass. This one closed the door behind her, which made him raise an eyebrow. It seemed like no one else was supposed to hear this... He sat down on a stool, offering her the chair (Ryuko bought it for him because she and Ochako used to come over to hang out).
"So... What do you want to talk about?" Started the boy hesitantly. She looked at the surroundings for a while, then looked at him seriously. This worried him for a second.
"You called Tatsuma-san by name. Ochako-chan has her doubts about it too, and pointedly, I wanted to know a little more..."
"FUCK!" the boy shouted inwardly, remembering when he talked to them in the break and had let that slip. "O-Oh... That... Emmm..." He tried to think of something that made sense, then let himself go with the idea. "You know she and I have talked quite a bit, since we connect on some things. So, she was telling me about her problems and, well, she appreciated that I'm a good listener, so she said I could call her by name while we were alone... I-I thought I could do that in front of you too since, well, she lets you say it too... Right?"
Asui looked to the side, something that made him swallow deeply. Then she just resigned herself.
"No idea, we never asked her. I guess we should see if we won her affection for it..."
Whew, masterful save. As he thought about how to preserve that alibi, she was nervous and settled on asking him something outside of his expectations.
"You... How do you get someone to call you by name?"
"Huh? Are you saying that because you always want us to call you by it?" he asked genuinely, intrigued by how she was being coy about the subject.
"Yes. There's someone who doesn't and I want to get him to do it; to treat me differently."
Ryuko popped into his head. He remembered perfectly how she took advantage of all the time together to emphasize that closeness between them and how, as long as they were alone, they could relax in a lazy way and enjoy each other's familiarity. Jokes, comments, and endless activities. All to bring them closer to each other...
She was direct with him about it, maybe that would do the trick.
"Well... Being you, Tsuyu-san, I think you should be direct with that person."
"But I am!" she despaired at that answer, which surprised him. Then he thought of another approach, where she could be more blatant to the affection.
"And of trying a physical touch like Ashido-san?"
Izuku suddenly felt uncomfortable. Perhaps the suggestion was unpleasant or was hasty. She would be uncomfortable at the idea, which would only make her see him as a pervert for suggest-.
"You're right!" The girl understood, enlightened by his wisdom. He got a tear drop on the back of his neck for it. "Be more aggressive! Got it! Thank you!"
"H-uh...? Su... re..." He tried to reply, but she scurried off after a slam of the door, disappearing from the scene.
Truth be told, he didn't understand a damn thing about what just happened.
...
Dinner. The night came and so it was when calm settled the group normally as they accompany the cooking with a formidable job.
"Taraaa~!" Ryuko presented her homemade curry noodles. Everyone was so hungry that they didn't even notice Izuku's western experiment with minced meat and directly moved on to eat. The exhausted cooks had a tear drop on the back of their necks at how they tasted rather than opined or chatted.
"At least they liked it." Enjoyed the boy calmly.
"I love this, Izuku, what did you use?" Ryuko consulted trying to remain calm. The boy got a tear drop on the back of his neck as he saw her semi-transformed, with her tail swaying to the side.
"Oh, it's something from the west. Minced meat, onion, pepper, oregano, flour... It uses a lot of things really, but they're meatballs. They're delicious, and raw they smell really good." He explained, which left the blonde fascinated.
"That explains why it cost so much. Red meat is certainly something else..."
"Yeah, haha... That's why I decided to buy it just this occasion, to have something different. Besides, Halloween is coming, isn't it?"
"Yes, although you all will be back before it. According to the results of the operation, you guys would be coming back before the U.A. festival."
"Then let's enjoy this weekend, as we will have a lot of work to do." Asui assured happily.
And so the dinner went on with pleasure.
...
Teeth cleaned, bathed. Izuku headed to his room while mentally preparing everything he should keep from Ryuko's gifts (and that he didn't want to show or it would be hard to explain). He looked at his cell phone screen, perfectly discreet contact between them. Her blatantly announcing that she was waiting for him in his bed, which made him sigh as he entered his room.
"Moo~! You took too long~!" she pouted, hugging her pillow and kicking the air like a little girl. He closed the door and sighed, again.
"We didn't both fit there, Ryuko..."
"Then let's go to my room~!" She resolved, giving him a tear drop on the back of his neck at the simplicity of her resolution of things. "You're leaving already and I don't want it to be like this! There would be going away party if it wasn't for this trouble! I want cuuuuuddleeees~!" she whined and kicked. Izuku couldn't help but understand why Nejire got along so well with her, they were alike.
"I guess we can do that..." He resigned this one, walking towards her, who didn't even take long to raise her arms, waiting for him to lift her up. This one complied, looking at her seriously for a moment.
"No funny business, silly. We have to wake up early if we want to get everything done before the others wake up."
"Tomorrow I'll wake you up, don't worry! Kissy~!" she insisted to which he couldn't refuse, gladly giving in. As he made his way cautiously through the gap in the wall so he wouldn't end up hitting her by accident. "Waaa~! Now we really look like a couple~!"
"Ryuko, stop moving. I can't see." He asked as he tried not to bump into some furniture on his way out. She, in response, didn't abide by the request and shook herself making him laugh at the wayward attitude. "Stop, we're going down!"
"Let's do it on the bed then~." She insisted, dragging him towards the bed where she made him fall with her weight for his amusement. "A big bed, perfect for both of us!" She enjoyed as she began planting kisses all over his face as he let himself be loved. "You have no idea how much I'm going to miss you here..." She murmured as she leaned back against his chest, feeling him breathe. Her hand reaching for his to finally intertwine their fingers.
"I think we've moved on pretty fast with our thing." He confesses, enjoying the way she fondly caresses his hand. He smiles to see her so happy, kissing the connection of fingers with pleasure.
"Does it bother you?" She queried him with concern, he denied but emphasized.
"Not at all... But this is all so new to me, as I've never had this kind of relationship with someone, you know? This is so... Unbelievable to me. Ryuko, I love being like this with you. I love all the time we spend together, you know that very well, but I don't know if I can stand to be like this... Hiding... And at the same time, apart..."
She looks up and he looks down. They both look at each other, expressing their anguish in their gazes. She plants a quick kiss on his lips and he just strokes her back, knowing full well that she had already half transformed by her scales well noticeable around it.
"I will reduce my service. I'll come visit you. I'll join the U.A... I'll do anything to avoid it..."
"Ryuko..." He was surprised at her statement, more she reinforces her words.
"The agency is working well. I know that the current recruits will be able to work well in this city without my full authority; anything, they can always call me... But you, our thing, I need you Izuku. You fill me up in a way that is unmatched." She explains to him. "You heard me, I heard you. We are so committed to each other that I can't just let go for a few months like this... Not when this will go on for another two years..."
He kisses her, something she gladly reciprocates as she hugs him and curls into his body. Izuku is used to it by now, she used to do it when she transformed.
Then the fur rubbing brought the horniness. The usual one for him, but he had settled another way. Ryuko caught him with her tail, encircling his waist, to which he laughed against her lips, seeing how she had a sensual smile.
"Hey, hey, it was just a few little kisses."
"Oh really? I don't remember promising something like that..."
Tongues dance again, more boldly now that there are teeth involved. She enjoying prodding his tongue from time to time, generating shivers in his body from the sensation, while in retaliation he squeezes her ass against himself.
"Ah~. I love it, Izuku~." She whispers against his lips, something that turns him on in a direct way, she perfectly feeling his erection against her belly. The touch of a woman, the feel of her skin... He couldn't deny that he was coming to understand Mineta if only just barely.
Her hands slipping underneath and he groaned in pleasure at her delicate touch against his bulge. His hand sliding upward, squeezing a breast that makes her let out a strange squeal at her half transformation.
"That's new." He enjoys to her embarrassment. "What's more, I admit I really liked it."
"I can see that." She chided him, slipping her hands inside his pants. The coolness of these against his hot body made him shiver. "You're quite the fetishist, Izuku. You are turned on by a dragon."
"Not one, this one in particular." He answers her amused, moaning as she shamelessly prepared to pull down his pants.
"Then it's my responsibility to take care of this, isn't it?" she amused. This obviously wasn't the first time they had a run-in like this, but more than obvious to say it was the first one where they would be more exposed to each other's bodies.
"God, Ryuko..." He muttered, together when she pulls his member out of his pants and her eyes widen in surprise at what she finds. She certainly recognizes that she didn't expect something like this...
"God gave you this? I should be worried, I'm sure I need two hands to get a good grip on it." She was overwhelmed, stroking the boy's thickness. Honestly, she saw it previous times way over the situation (i.e., express hotties they had on the outside), but she couldn't help but not be surprised each time. She masturbated him a bit, feeling his thickness and how it throbbed at her touch. Her gaze directly on the expressions of the boy who was agonizing with pleasure. "Izuku, look at me. Ah, yes, like that..." She murmured in their dueling gazes, watching the boy agonize as she masturbated him. "I'm going to try something new..."
"Something new-? AGH!"
Saliva. Anyone would know that a very basic form of lubrication was that. Izuku simply couldn't believe that the beautiful woman beside him, the one who always displayed a noble and discreet bearing was now looking at him with desire, enjoying how she spit and slobberingly kissed the boy's dick while with her hand she worked to make everything arranged to facilitate her movements. The throbbing of his cock just screamed all over the place how eager he was to explode in front of a Ryuko fascinated with his anatomy.
And something new was entirely. The thing's they practically did were to masturbate together in order to avoid uncomfortable inconveniences so soon... This was something else already...
She started her right hand in a back and forth up and down. He can't help but clench his buttocks (and almost any muscle he can) so as not to give in to the pleasure and come shamelessly by these new touches. However, the attempt was short-lived as she ran her thumb against the tip of his penis and then her palm, rubbing them wetly and noisily, enjoying how the boy looked like he was about to pass out from it. She watched this act and gasped with some relish at the deplorable sight of him, attacking his lips immediately with ravenous hunger.
"She's going to kill me..." It is the green-haired man's compression as he feels his consciousness fade as he cums heavily, watching in wonder as numerous strands of semen shoot against her hands, landing on the shirt of the boy who can do nothing but gasp totally knocked down. "R-Ryuko..." He whispered as best he could, trying to catch his breath.
"Okay, from now on, all advice from Nemuri will be a TOTAL 'we must do it'." She understood with total happiness at the current experience. He barely mumbled something in acknowledgement of Midnight's civilian name as he tried to collect himself, his hand sliding to Ryuko's ass, which he squeezed making her moan. She smiled in amusement at seeing him still able to continue, watching in surprise as his penis became erect again. "Oh, that's unexpected. I must admit I didn't really- Eek!" She came to exclaim as the boy brought her with him and began massaging her breasts from behind. She could only bite the index finger of her left hand while with the other she made futile force to try to pull out the muscular arms that imprisoned her. "I-Izuku... That's cheating! Y-You know they're sensitive... Ah~!"
"I love you, Ryuko." He whispered against her ear, generating a huge electric shock throughout her body. She couldn't help but moan again as the wetness in her pussy became more evident. "You're adorable when you moan that sweet." He explained to then gently bite her ear, which made her moan even more as her mouth became overly wet, part of it turning into a snout.
"Ah~. How bold~. I love it~..." She rambled as one of his hands travels down her belly to her pants. "Oh, yeah~. Like that~..." She mumbled in surrender as she tried not to hold back at all. The purrs being more blatant, her tail hugging his entire torso as she caresses the marked pecs he has.
As his hand does the work of exploring a lady surrendered to his touch, he doesn't take long to turn his head to kiss her. She doesn't even take long to return it, being that Izuku manages to notice by chance how her ears, semi-transformed (which made them stretch and prickle) twitch from the pleasure of everything that was going on.
"Izuku..." She whispered in a gasp against his ear as he sped up, resting his face against her shoulder as he closed his eyes and kept up the frantic momentum of his hand. "I-I can't hold on anymore..." She struggled with her attempts to hold back.
And yet, she was unable to achieve her goal when she felt a shock thanks to the hand on her breast pinching and stretching with some pressure that she enjoyed to the fullest. Her gaze half lost after coming so outrageously, not being able to say a word as she was totally anesthetized by the pleasure... Him dropping down with her, both of them so badly arranged on the bed that they would surely sleep horribly... And yet, neither could murmur anything else as they lost themselves in dreams. She laughed in amusement before closing her eyes as she saw him so exhausted... How nice it would be for them to end up like this after a good intense sex...
After all it was important to prepare him for the mark she so intended to make on him.
...
Nejire woke up and got up almost at the speed of a comic book runner. She left her room in her pajamas, still knowing that this usually happened on Saturdays and that she had no time to waste. She knocked on the door of Ryuko's room and didn't even wait for an answer as she did the same with Izuku's door. She folded her arms, already even annoyed because this used to happen almost always on this particular day. Indeed, a few minutes without activity confirmed to her what she knew.
She quickly flew to the end of the hallway, seeing how her suspicions were confirmed as she reached the kitchen. There she saw those two she was looking for.
"Nee~, nee~! You guys had breakfast without us again!" the blue-haired girl complained with a pout. Ryuko laughed lightly as she finished drying the dishes while Izuku calmly dried his hands. That's when the girl noticed several things: they were very close to each other, and that both had cut their hair. "Waaa~! Ryuko, you look gorgeous with that cut~! Oh, but Midoriya-kun got a cut too~! You two look great~!"
"Gosh. Nejire, dear, you scream a lot." Murmured Ryuko who now had her bangs cut with some light braids on the sides of her head, highlighting her pierced ears. She now had some sort of brooch around these that seemed to have the design of a dragon with the color green. Izuku just had a cut too barbaric for him, giving a more aggressive look to his appearance. All sides shaved, except for everything else on his head. A Mohawk cut.
"Come on, you two don't even bother to hide your relationship, you know?! Half the city is busy guessing!" Complains the girl as she folds her arms, annoyed that they never confirmed anything to her despite the obvious. Ryuko smiles at that and squeezes a buttock of his who is startled by it.
"So she knows..." Izuku resigns himself. He knew that at least someone here must know or suspect it...
"Oh, almost the whole agency knows about it. Ryuko uses the staff to isolate you with her when she wants to... Anyway, you two don't dissemble." She corrects the boy, which causes him to score a vein for anger at what Ryuko whistles to the side, as if she hadn't heard.
"Don't use your agency like that..." He scolded her, she just feigned dementia and continued in her own.
"We just ate something quick to get everything done before everyone woke up, Nejire. If you keep quiet, we'll make you something homemade." Ryuko assured, ignoring the scolding.
"We will?" the boy falsely complained. "So now we're a couple?"
"Please, I love the food you two make!" Begged the light blue-haired girl, surprising the boy who clarified that he was only joking and that there would be no problem.
And so, they set out to get everything settled before the rest woke up.
...
Asui was not stupid. Well, maybe she was because she was in love with Katsuki Bakugou, but not so much that she didn't notice that Ryuko's influence on Izuku was being immense.
"Does it look bad on me?" The boy asked shyly with concern at how they both looked at his new haircut. It certainly didn't look good on him at all with that attitude...
"Not at all, Kikai-kun!" Uraraka assured, though Asui well knows that she lies. She found it funny in every aspect and didn't judge her for it, she understood. "But it sure doesn't match the way you are..." She joked to make him understand why they both saw him as a weirdo.
"Well, asking my hairdresser friend for the cut was definitely a wise move. I love it, Izuku. It will strengthen your character." Ryuko assures while enjoying the freshly baked cookies she had made with him. This one was only embarrassed because he trusted her for the cut; his mother would faint when she saw him and think that her son was now a gangster...
"Anyway, it looks to me like he's already done it... Look at you, Midoriya-kun, you used to even be able to be around us and now you even make homemade food." Acknowledges the light blue-haired girl to the respect of the boy who thanks her with a nod and a smile. Ochako and Tsuyu don't get to see, because they are concentrating on tasting the cookies, Ryuko who sharpens her gaze on Nejire who quickly intimidates and with her hands she gives to understand that she is not interested in the boy for fear that her teacher would make a scene right there. The latter sighs in relief, still annoyed by the compliment to her partner, which gives a tear in the back of Nejire's neck for her obvious jealousy.
"I really appreciate it, Hado-san. Honestly, it's Ryuko who helped me in this whole getting along with you guys and being able to relax here. I owe her a lot." Explained Izuku who couldn't see the scene because he had been staring at his cup, pondering.
"HAAAAAAA!" jumped Uraraka, seemingly elated by what she had noticed. "Kikai-kun, since when do you call her by her name! And you too, Tatsuma-san!"
They both looked at each other slightly, then at the brunette. Ryuko smiled calmly, knowing that they had been dodging the subject for Izuku for a while now. She was thankful that he didn't even bother to react with fear or even nerves, maybe last night gave him more confidence regarding both of them...
"Well, he's kind of like my psychologist. He's a good listener and I really appreciate his opinion... However, you guys can also call me that outside of work. I never made it clear because you never asked. You never noticed that Nejire calls me that too?"
Suddenly, both young women's cheeks are red with embarrassment at what Ryuko confirms to them, worse when Nejire herself looks surprised because they seemed to be the only ones who didn't know anything. Izuku refrains from voicing his opinion, taking a big sip of his tea and enjoying the cookies.
Looking on the bright side, he could now say her name without guilt or worry...
...
Patrol duty, time to work. Suit on, Izuku reported for action with Ryuko, as fortunately she was his patrol partner today.
Returning to the street after the morning walk, where Ryuko bought him some other nonsense he didn't ask for, was awkward. People saw them a lot and more than one had gotten used to seeing them particularly together. It didn't make him uncomfortable, but he worried about her. Her reputation would be immensely affected by this, plus the impending disaster of the relationship being revealed. (Among the things she bought him was a new cell phone. He will never forget the look on the faces of the employees who clearly understood what the deal was all about, let alone the embarrassment with which he longed to hide under 500 layers of dirt while she paid for and even suggested his choice of device. It should be clear that he is NOT going to use it EVER after this).
In a way he enjoyed the fact that Ryuko proved to be happy with the group gift they all made on her birthday, as giving her something on her own was sure to be impossible with her spending level. Nothing he could offer her would match the amount of jewelry he had seen that time she showed him her jewelry box. He claimed that one of those jewels was worth a house or worse... The horror of when she wanted to give him one of them was forever etched in his brain.
When he told her truthfully that his greatest treasure was miserable battered notebooks, he had to be more detailed because the next day she came to his room with a package of 30 brand new notebooks of the best brand... He sighed. He still couldn't deal with that wasteful side of her... He had to get her something or it would surely get worse (it already had).
Luckily he had saved the money his mother had given him for an emergency (this was it).
"Are you okay, Izuku?" Ryuko consulted with concern because he seemed disconnected from everything. The gun of her doing bangs was something he could do nothing but hate; she had a beautiful face to show off. He wanted to see it.
"Y-Yes... I was just distracted for a moment, sorry... By the way, we're on duty, Ryukyu-san..." He scolded her while giving her a sidelong glance. In response, she feigned insanity at that. "I was just thinking that you give me a lot of gifts but I didn't give you anything. It's unfair, which is why I intend to give you something as soon as I can... I just don't think I can give you something you don't have or want." He explained resignedly, to which she had to restrain herself from hugging him and showering him with kisses for his (banal to her) concern.
"Your company is always enough for me, Izuku. I like you for how you are and who you are. Whatever you give me, I will treasure it as the most valuable treasure i have, for it is you who gave it to me." She explained to him calmly as her gaze remained straight ahead. Izuku couldn't help but look at the surroundings in embarrassment, praying that no one was around and had heard that. "Besides, the gifts I give you aren't expensive at all. I simply make them because you like them; if you like them, I like them."
"Thanks for reminding me of the fact that I'm low class..." He muttered with amusement, still embarrassed. He himself never suffered financially from his biological father's mandatory designation, but yes there were times where they were tight and his mother never told him about it... Ryuko just cocked her head to the side, intrigued.
"Your mother needs mone-?"
"Stop right there. We're fine, thanks." He held her back. If his mother saw him walk in with a briefcase of cash and that hairstyle, it was certain that Izuku would end up in prison and his mother a step away from the afterlife. "Geez, Ryuko. How the hell do you not care about spending money?"
"Oh, that's because I've never used it... I guess I haven't told you, but my whole hero life was monotonous until now; Rumi helped me have a good time at bars and sleepovers. The truth is that I never had a really important motivation to use my money... In fact, I lived on ready-made food. Thanks to you and the girls I started cooking." She thanked him, moving closer to him to brush her cheek against his continuously. This one was embarrassed and worried, but he did nothing but resign himself because he enjoyed the gesture. He was sure someone saw them... "I so longed to see your expressions with what I was doing that really motivated me to learn and experiment... Then you decided to do the same and I really enjoyed us being together like this. Izuku, I love you, that's why I do everything I do."
"I love y-you too, but Ryuko we're in public. It will bring you trouble..." Embarrassed muttered he as he watched as the ice cream man they knew greeted them with a smile, more his gaze assured the boy of a clear 'I told you so'. He just averted his gaze, pretending not to have seen it.
"It doesn't worry me much. I'll still be a hero, whether I have to cut hours from my service to be at your side, lose my place at the top or have to kidnap you from everyone's sight."
"What?" he asked as he hadn't heard the last.
"What of what?" she asked now with a feline smile.
Izuku's wristwatch beeps. All Might's forearms expression pointing to the break. He looked at Ryuko who smiled seeing perfectly where to go, to which he sighed when he saw that they went to THAT particular bar again.
...
"So... What do I give the lovebirds." Insisted the woman who was watching them with a suggestive smile. Ryuko laughed blushing at what she called them to which Izuku resigned himself.
"Just tea for both of us, Mishoju-san." Izuku asked, reviving the blonde. "We can only stay for a few minutes, since we're on duty."
"Waaaaa! Izuku's going to leave! I want him to stay a little mooooreeee!" She whined exaggeratedly, hugging the boy and squeezing him to herself. The elders present only smiled at how outrageous the couple was while Izuku tried to calm her down because she had already half transformed.
"Now, now, Ryuko-chan! Let go of your boyfriend, you'll kill him if you shake him like that!" The woman scolded her as she dropped the order to them. "It's on the house. Seeing you two together is always cute... Ah~, youth~." She mutters as she leans on the bar and watches them be. Izuku, who tried all the time to keep his distance, just walked up to Ryuko and hugged her with one arm, pulling her to him. Ryuko just purred as she wagged her tail, smiling with a blush.
This place was one they had been to a long time ago. Ryuko said that she had been friends with the owner (in her forties) for a long time because she knew her when she was young, which is why she later found out that this was where she drank to drown her sorrows because Izuku didn't notice her flirtations in the past. This one just had to grimace ruefully at how he was scolded for it...
The problem with this place was how Ryuko didn't disguise how affectionate she was with him at all. It was like her secret place. Once they walked around kissing for so long that they noticed how the owner looked at them in wonder letting them know that she enjoyed witnessing everything.
"Forbidden and secret loves are the best!" Declared this one, her liking for such things being totally evident.
The problem with all this was himself: he loved how Ryuko always treated and pampered him in public, but his concern on the outside was so great that he could only try to keep his distance, even though there was no danger where they were walking because the people there knew them well or were people she trusted...
The problem of this place was like him... It was unleashed...
The hand on her hip explores a little more and caresses her thigh. She doesn't fight it, as her smile shows she enjoys it, and she moves closer for his relentless touch. His hand feeling her bare skin so poorly covered by her hero costume only makes him warm up more to a level he himself knows is not good for him to forget. His face tucked under her arm, pressed against one of her breasts. A suit of latex alloys, Lycra and god knows what else, for he is only interested in touching now and feeling the touch. She gasps against his ear and he feels he should SQUEEZE in response.
"Hue, hue..." Laughs heavily the brown-haired pervert who watches everything from afar with some pleasure. Luckily the elders left before the show and she was alone, watching everything from behind the couple. Ryuko's tail appearing and hugging the boy's waist to entice him more.
They both start kissing and she already pretends to close the door and make it clear that it was closed for business if they continued like this. But after a few caresses, they stop after a slobbery tongue kiss and they seem to rearrange themselves. Fuck, this wasn't a brothel but she intended to do one just for these two if they came often...
"Hehehe, you should invite me to see them one of these days, Ryuko-chan." The pervert mutters, something the blonde ignores with amusement.
"Oh, but we'll come back someday. I want Izuku to have his first drink."
"Ryuko, I'm 16." He reminds her earnestly.
"Then we'll have it at home." She gladly reaffirms. He just gave in to it, this whole corrupting him thing was getting out of hand...
But, even at that, he couldn't deny that he enjoyed it. Ryuko represented that total freedom to do whatever someone wanted as long as it didn't harm the rest... A liberal dragon, too direct and not at all submissive. A woman who wanted to show him that it was possible to do more and be more...
And so, as noon approached, they both continued their patrol.
...
After joining Nejire and the girls, everything went on. Fortunately there were no relevant incidents and they were able to carry out their patrol in peace.
Dusk is approaching, the artificial lights are turned on. The group continues to wander as they return to the hotel/house/office and prepare to rest as Izuku enjoys the sights of this place that housed him for two months... A beautiful place.
On Monday the operation would come. Everything was ready and there were no qualms... Ryuko told him that she wanted to have one last night before that, because in spite of everything, it would be the last time together when they came back (or that's what she intended if they accepted her secret plans in the U.A.).
That's why when evening comes, after eating, he takes a bath and goes to his room. He sees the bookcase, for he knows Ryuko is waiting for him tonight too and can't help but swallow deeply in anticipation of what was to come...
Finally, he ventures into the dark corridor to the other side, watching in surprise as Ryuko was shocked by putting on a baggy T-shirt that took up her entire body... With nothing else. She was embarrassed to be discovered, but gave in to her intentions anyway.
Izuku just knew that tonight sleeping together would be intimate again, and he couldn't be anything but eager to see how far they would go tonight...
