Only the Truth

"Yo! Dynamight, that was awesome man, you must work out a ton to be able to move like that," some nobody asked, I turned and looked her up and down and saw her bright smile as she ran up still wearing a blue police officer's uniform. Odd it doesn't really suit her at all and the fact that she ran up to ME out of all the heros here is very telling.

She is either a villain trying to trick me or... Another groupie. Dear All Might, I think I'm starting to hate groupies more than villains.

Honestly the villain option was far more appealing at the moment. I was only just able to shake the last groupie that managed to latch on. Not like any of these... Women... Could actually know that I was gay or anything. I kept that very close to the chest. The only person who knew was Kirishima and as my best friend I would still not hesitate to murder the fucker if he told anyone.

I just let my glare land on her and waited, I would know the answer soon enough with whatever the fuck she said next.

"I was thinking that maybe if you wouldn't mind a bit of company we could go and get some coffee? My shift ends in about a half hour," she started twirling a strand of hair with one of her french tip nails, guess that answers that.

"I don't drink coffee," I turned to leave before pausing for a moment and adding, "Good luck though." Okay I'm not a complete ass like I was in highschool. It's not like I haven't grown at all or anything, I'm just so tired of all of these very unwelcome advances. Why can't they leave me the fuck alone?

"Bro!" I turned to hear Kiri calling out for me. "Hurry up or we'll be late for..." He trailed off as if only just now noticing the woman close by.

"I'm coming, I know who's birthday it is today," I called back, rolling my eyes before nodding at the "officer" again and leaving her behind while she tried not to cry. I really hate groupies, not only do they force themselves on you but then when you shut them down they try and make you feel like a villain. Just why? So much effort just to hurt.

When I was next to Kiri we started making our way towards headquarters only for me to feel something hit me on the back of the head, fucking hard.

"WHAT THE FUCK?" I demanded turning around only to see the woman, tears dripping down her face.

"Why do you have to be gay? Why couldn't you just put it on your hero profile instead of rejecting us like this?" She demanded, what the fuck is happening right now? What the literal fuck is actually happening right fucking now?

"Yo, what are you doing? Even if you are an officer you can't just go around attacking heroes like that!" Kiri lectured her gently. "Besides, what are you even talking about?"

She started laughing hysterically before she spit at my feet, fucking gross ass bitch. She looked back up and glared at me, "My quirk makes it to where you have to tell me the truth. Are you sleeping with Red Riot?"

I looked at her like the fucking dumb ass bitch, "Fuck no, and even if I was it's none of your damn business! I don't even know who the fuck you are, before today have I even once seen you before?" I started laying into her and for some reason I couldn't stop. I mean I know I don't come off as nice by any stretch of the imagination but I DO still have a filter and for some fucking reason it was not working right now. No matter how hard I was trying and I WAS trying.

"Look at yourself! You asked to get coffee, did you even bother to think that maybe I already had plans? I was actually really fucking nice about it too, I even wished you fucking luck but was that enough? No! You didn't get your way so your just going to assault the number four hero of Japan in the back of the fucking head and spit on him too. Are you fucking psychotic? Why can't I stop fucking talking?" I couldn't stop and the fact that the girl was shocked into silence was more than irritating. "How long is this shitty ass quirk of yours going to fucking last?"

She looked at me blankly and someone, who turned out to be her partner or supervisor or who the fuck cares, came running over apologizing for her and bowing, forcing her to bow as well. "I'm very sorry Dynamight, she is still new and doesn't understand that this isn't highschool anymore. It won't happen again!" It did not escape my notice that neither he nor her answered my fucking question so I asked again.

"No it's not fucking highschool! When I was in highschool I was KIDNAPPED and TORTURED, I was fighting for my fucking life all while trying to learn how to save other people! When I was in fucking highschool was chained to a fucking post by my fucking teachers after I WON the school summer festival! This is way fucking easier than fucking highschool!" I was ranting again and why in the fuck did I actually say all of that? She didn't ask, fuck no one asked! But the moment he brought it up I couldn't stop myself.

"How fucking long is this shitty ass quirk going to fucking last?" I was gritting my teeth trying so hard to contain the anger in my body but it wasn't helping, if anything it was only making it worse.

A lot worse.

"I'm sorry but there isn't a real answer for that, it depends on the person and it varies. You will tell the truth regardless of who asks you or what they ask you. The harder you fight it the more you will say and the longer you are under it the more the effects will affect you," The man answered. Wait a minute I know this fucker.

"You're that detective friend of All Might's," I narrowed my eyes at him, he was the lie detector. Wait that makes his quirk really fucking similar to hers...

"Is this your daughter or niece or some shit?" I asked next and he let out a sigh and while rubbing the bridge of his nose he nodded.

"She is my cousin's daughter but she has been living with me for the last few years. Look Dynamight the quirk can last anywhere from an hour to a week."

"A WEEK!" I started cursing while Kiri tried very fucking hard to muffle me or talk over me so that those walking nearby wouldn't overhear me.

"It's Auntie's birthday today! July 4th! How in the fuck am I supposed to hide this?" I started shaking Kiri who was nervously trying to laugh it all off. "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! The last time I ruined her birthday I was fucking six! SIX I couldn't sleep for a month after the fucking demon went back to sleep!" I was still shaking Kiri but at this point he was just as confused as the detective and "officer" and I was fuming. "She is going to fucking kill me!"

"Bro? Midobro's mom? What?" He couldn't even fake laughing anymore, he was so confused.

"YES!" I set off several explosions. "I can't even cancel or tell her I'm busy because of the hag. Dear All Might the last time I MISSED her birthday fucking Deku dragged me back FROM RUSSIA! I was working a sting op and I was literally dragged away after Deku knocked them all out. If it wasn't for his body cam they ALL would have walked!" I was still fuming.

"Wait, Midobro did what now?" Kiri asked, shocked. To be fair that was top secret intel. Not anymore I guess.

"That was still classified! UNDO THIS FUCKING QUIRK NOW!" I demanded before reaching for her only to veer away when I saw the look of excitement on her face. "Fucking gross, this is why I don't fuck around with fucking groupies!" I hissed.

"Now wait just a minute-!" The detective started getting defensive but the fuck if I care.

"How exactly do you think she hit me with her fucking quirk? Hmm? Fucking coffee? Fucking right because it's TOTALLY normal to attack and spit on someone when someone says no to fucking coffee! Tell me groupie wannabe what exactly is it about me that you like so fucking much? Hmm? You don't know the first thing about me, not outside of my public hero profile. Then you have the fucking audacity to accuse me of being gay? Who in the fuck are you to even ask that?" I was on a roll and I stopped caring about the no longer working filter I usually used. If she wanted the truth so fucking much she can have it.

"Fucking fanatics, I swear I get attacked by you fuckers at least once a month and why? I'm not fucking nice! That's for damn sure! What about me is so fucking appealing so that I can destroy it!" I demanded holding up a hand and setting off several explosions.

"NO!" She yelled and the detective pulled her back when she jumped forward. I feel no shame at the fact that I dodged back well out of her fucking filthy reach. 

"Disgusting," I couldn't help the face I was making. The fact of the matter was it was all true. I mean she said so herself, her quirk makes me tell the truth so they really couldn't say anything that I said was wrong or false or anything. They just got hit with the brutal honest truth. "Bet you wish you would have left when I said good luck now don't you?"

"OKAY! Bro, deep breaths. Look at me, we will figure this out. Look at me, I can just call Mrs. Midoriya and tell her that you were hit with a quirk. Okay? Look at me, she won't hold it against you." Kiri butted in and turned me to face him and away from the other two.

"You don't understand! THAT WILL NOT WORK!" I hissed at him and he honestly looked shocked.

"Bro, I've met Mrs. Midoriya she will totally understand-"

"You only met half of Aunty!" I barked and I could easily see that I had all three of their attention but I couldn't stop. "She has another side, the Green Demon. As nice and sweet at Aunty is,  the Green Demon is her other half and she is what nightmares are made of! If you don't believe me, ask Deku! He isn't stupid and he won't lie," I tried to lower my voice but suddenly I felt a chill go down my back.

"Ask me what?" I froze at the voice that suddenly sounded from behind me and when I turned around I saw Deku, his broad shoulders hugged tight by his suit while his mask lay around his neck. He was covered in dirt but nothing all that noticeable or at least nothing a quick shower couldn't fix.

Kiri looked at him then me and then him again before just going for it and asking him. "Is your mom the Green Demon?" I saw Deku's eyes go wide before he looked at me, terror filling his eyes.

"Kacchan, I thought you said you wouldn't-"

"I was hit by a quirk! I can't keep my mouth shut and everything is just spilling out. How in the fuck am I supposed to go to her birthday party? She is going to fucking kill me! What if she asks about middle school? Hmm? I will die, they will never find my body. Fuck as a ghost 'I' won't be able to find my own damn body. It will be nothing but fucking dust in the wind and you fucking know it!" I hissed all while trying to bite my fucking tongue. Why can't I just keep silent? Just why?

At first he was starting to panic but then he took a couple deep breaths before pulling out his phone. "Don't say anything unless I tell you to."

"I can't even keep quiet! The quirk is forcing me to answer everything! To blurt out whatever comes to mind and apparently it's only going to get worse!" I hissed back at him.

"Fine, Kiri, can you gag Kacchan for a minute? I need to call mom." Deku turned his attention back to Kiri who looked as shocked as they fucking come.

"Get your ass over here Shitty Hair!! I do not want to die today!" He jumped and ran over and awkwardly covered my mouth. I rolled my eyes and bit him. "You can do better than that." I said when he pulled away.

"I can't believe I'm doing this," I heard him mumble before he clamped down on my mouth and Deku called, putting the phone on speakerphone.

"Hello?" I heard the sweet woman's voice.

"Hey Mom! So there is a little issue picking Kacchan up for tonight," he paused and I could hear crackling through the phone but he decided to keep talking.

"Kacchan was hit with a quirk so he can only pop in to wish you a quick happy birthday and then I'll need to take him away again. We won't be able to stay, I know how much birthdays mean to you but my birthday is next week and I was thinking maybe Kacchan and I could take a few days off and the three of us could go somewhere? Maybe some hot springs? I know you haven't gone since Dad died and I thought it would be a nice way to make up for today?"

I was nearly ready to have a heart attack, I would gladly pay for the trip if it means the Green Demon stays asleep!

"Is Katsuki alright? What kind of quirk was he hit with?" She had to ask a question. Of course she did! Kiri was now latched on tight while I was trying to yell out answers but Deku took several steps back so she wouldn't hear any of the noise.

"Don't worry Kacchan is alright, he just can't hear questions. Sorry it's really embarrassing and he doesn't want to ruin your birthday party. So what do you think? Hot springs?" Deku tried to distract her and she obviously could understand that but at the same time...

"Will he still come? Even if he is only here for thirty seconds?" She asked hesitantly.

"Of course Mom, he would never miss your birthday on purpose!" Deku answered, his smile growing bigger as he talked.

"Well okay then, a few days with my boys sounds a lot better than a couple hours. Alright but I still want to see you both here tonight," I could hear the smile in her voice and I could feel my body relaxing.

"Great! See you after we get cleaned up!" Deku said goodbye and hung up the phone at last.

"Okay Kiri you can let Kacchan go now," Deku sighed and I was cursing up a storm.

"How in the fuck did you manage to get her agree to that? She never gives up on birthdays!" I demanded and I saw him give a sly smile.

"I might have read her diary trying to figure out what to give her for her birthday but if you tell her we are both dead." He looked at me meaningfully.

"It was the Green Demon's wasn't it?" I narrowed my eyes on him.

"Of course it was the Green Demon's! My mom doesn't put a wish list in her own diary and the Green Demon keeping a diary is the only way we are able to keep it happy!"

"Fucking damnit Deku! Why did you have to tell me while I basically have a word vomit quirk being used on me? What if she fucking asks?" I demanded getting pissed off again.

"How long is the quirk supposed to last?" His eyes widened when he realized just how he fucked up.

"Anywhere from an hour to a full week. Aunty is going to kill us!" I sat on the fender of the detective's car not even fucking caring anymore. "My atoms are going to be around fucking pluto by the time anyone notices we are even gone."

"Deep breaths Kacchan, The Green Demon should be appeased and the fact that we got permission and didn't just show up saying it, should give us some options. Let me call Aunty and I'll suggest that they take Mom out for dinner so that they can leave at the same time we do?" He put his hands on my shoulders only for me to knock them off before I tsked. Old habits popping up? Bad one's at that, just fucking great.

"I'll call my old Hag," I grumble before pulling out my phone, good thing I never use my fucking filter with her.

"So my fucking brat knows how to actually call? I KNOW you aren't going to be late for Inko's birthday tonight!" She answered, bitching as soon as she did.

"Fuck no! Do I look fucking suicidal? I'm calling to ask you to take Aunty to dinner tonight. I was hit by a quirk that will get me killed if I'm around her too long. And before you start, Deku already called her and suggested we take her to a spa next week to make up for the shortened visit tonight." I rolled my eyes, I could hear her as she was starting to get pissy only to calm her ass back down when I kept talking.

"Where are you wanting us to take her?" She asked and I could practically see her cocking an eyebrow at me even though it's not even a video call.

"Where the fuck else?" I rolled my eyes at her stupid ass question.

"You know that's not cheap," she groaned through the phone.

"Did I ask for it to be cheap? ¥60,000 enough? or should I send 70?"

"Do you need to ask?" I heard her scoff.

"Sometimes I wonder if you only want me for my wallet," I grumbled before pulling away from the shrieking that was her voice before I went ahead and sent 100 while she bitched about me being an ungrateful brat. When she paused to suck in air I interrupted her. "I sent the money literally, just please keep her happy tonight and if you can go ahead and take her out again this weekend. Maybe that cafe you two are always fucking talking about?"

"You're lucky I love you," she responded.

"Yep love you too old Hag. Tell Dad him too," I sighed, rubbing between my eyes while taking deep breaths. We hung up and I turned back to Deku.

"She agreed and maybe their lunch date this weekend will help keep the Demon asleep?" I sighed putting my phone away. "Fuck, I'm exhausted already."

"Don't worry Kacchan, even mom said 30 seconds so she already understands at least the concept of what's going on." Deku smiled and I groaned again.

"Midobro? Bakubro? Please explain? I've met her before and I don't think there is a sweeter woman alive," Kiri begged while the two extras standing nearby were unsure what to fucking do.

"Aunty is amazing, it's the Green Demon that will haunt your very soul all the way until you reincarnate," I muttered only for Deku to huff in response.

"You could have maybe thought of that before middle school?" Deku glared but the look really didn't suit him and I'm more than sure the look on my face said as much before Deku blew out a deep breath.

"Right well now to get all the paperwork sorted to get us off for the next week," Deku pulled out his phone and pulled up a blank copy of the form. This really does happen far too often.

"Wait, why would you both have to take off? Bakubro was the only one to get hit right?" Kiri asked, still confused as all hell.

"Normally yes, but we were hit with a quirk last week that bound us together for the month. Anytime one of us is hit we are both affected. Yesterday we both had to go home because I was hit with a vomiting quirk. Not fun," Deku answered quickly, filling out the form with both of our names. "The day before Kacchan was stabbed in the leg while I was just patrolling my route, not fun," he mumbled as he worked. "Plus you know as Japan's number 1 hero I have far too much classified information to be at risk. And... Done." he put his phone away and my phone beeped and when I pulled it out, only for Eraserhead to call.

I picked up, "I was assaulted by a fucking cop because I didn't want to get fucking coffee after work today." I didn't even wait for him to start screaming at me. He has been appointed my handler until the quirk binding Deku and I wore off and he is a fucking asshole about it.

"You said no to coffee?" Was his actual question, I rolled my eyes.

"You know I don't drink the shit but I WAS fucking nice about it before she assaulted me with her "truth" quirk. Fucking bullshit word vomit is a better name for it. I can't stop the shit from coming out." I groaned, putting the call on speakerphone.

"Deku knows?" His voice filled the air between us.

"Yes Eraserhead, I'm right here and I'm the one that filled out the paperwork, while Kacchan tried not to blow up his phone." Deku answered and I'm taking deep calming breaths again.

"I don't care what any extra says you're a fucking asshole and you know it," I glared at him not even trying to keep my voice down.

"Learned from the best," Deku answered before his eyes went wide and he covered his mouth as quickly as he could.

"Dear All Might, so the one time everyone else can see your shit we both have to fucking lay low? This is un-fucking-real," I threw my hands in the air, tossing my phone at Kiri. I turn towards Deku, it's finally time to get some fucking answers.

"Fucking Deku I have some quesions and you are going to answer them instead of running off at the last fucking second or getting saved by All Might," I was actually smiling as I slammed a fist into my other palm letting my knuckles pop as I did.

"Bro, please no fighting. The press is already running up and if you get anymore bad press you'll get knocked down the rankings again," Kiri groaned before turning to Deku. "Midobro? This means I can leave him to you now?"

"Yeah Kiri, I've got him," Deku smiled at him.

"I'm right fucking here and I don't need a damn babysitter," I ground my teeth keeping my voice low.

"I disagree, at least until the first quirk wears off. This new quirk however is a big problem. You both know far too much classified information, you're both on lock-" Deku's quirk started going off and my phone broke disconnecting us. I raised an eyebrow at Deku, I'm not even getting mad. Honestly I'm kind of impressed.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't have a death wish either. The Green Demon can't destroy another top secret research facility," he rolled his eyes and I shrugged agreeing. I was with him when she appeared and the Green Demon is now classified as a national disaster and anything and everything is authorized to contain the situation including disobeying direct orders. When we get the paperwork for our disciplinary action we only have to write the national order in response and then we would have to go and talk to fucking big wigs that go way higher than even Japan's number 1 hero. Just to tell them the Green Demon doesn't miss birthdays… Ever.

"You could have just hung up instead of breaking my phone but yeah let's get out of here so we don't... You know," I shrugged, walking away from the car and Deku and I quickly made our way back to headquarters; showered, changed and clocked out before driving to Aunty's. We arrived to find my hag and Dad already at the door and Deku and I were standing next to them when Aunty answered the door.

"Katsuki? Izuku? You made it on time?" She asked and Deku and I snorted, laughing out loud before we pulled her into a hug.

"Of course Mom," Deku giggled.

"How could I miss your birthday, Aunty?" I asked and we kissed her on the cheek before we wished her a happy birthday. She nearly strangled us with her hugs but we just laughed and let her. After what was probably five minutes of her crying and telling us how much she loved us, she finally let us go and we reminded her that we couldn't stay.

"I understand, but when we take our trip next week you should tell me the specifics, not now though," she interrupted when she saw us opening our mouths and we both let out a relieved sigh when the words weren't pushed out of us.

We called out I love you to each other and more happy birthday wishes before Aunty was in the car with the hag and dad driving away. When the car was out of sight Deku and I both let out our breath, that was actually really easy and for the most part painless.

"Thank All Might," we said together and as if someone above really didn't like us both being relieved, Deku's phone rang, he answered it after showing me it Eraserhead's contact info.

"Hello?" Deku answered, putting it on speakerphone.

"Lockdown now, the safehouse by U.A." Eraserhead was furious but his tone was very low. Yep he is pissed.

"On our way," I answered and he hung up before we got back in Deku's car and drove. Normally we would leave the car and just walk, but today being Auntie's birthday? Fuck no.

When we arrived there was no one there but the key was where it was supposed to be so we just let ourselves in. I groaned before flopping on the couch, Deku walking into the kitchen. I'm exhausted.

"I hate groupies," I said, only to hear Deku hum in agreement from the kitchen. "I mean why won't they just leave me the fuck alone?"

Deku walked in as I said that and he answered with zero hesitation at all, "Cause you're hot enough to melt the sun." I blinked several times before his words settled in my head and just as they did, Deku's face turned bright red when he realized what he just said.

"I can melt the sun, huh?" I smirk, enjoying his cute strawberry-like red face. I laughed for a minute while he tried to hide his face in his hands. Wait, I can finally ask those forsaken questions of mine!

"Oi Nerd, why do you look down on me?" I sat up glaring at him only to see his cute embarrassment morph into actual rage. Damn.

"I have never looked down on you in my life! Why do you keep asking that?" He demanded, we are both standing up again and we were more than raising our voices a little bit.

"Because you never once came to me for help! You were quirkless Deku! Quirkless! In the world we live in that can get you killed! But no! Even when we were only 4 you refused to ask for help, not even once!" I screamed back and somehow the air around us seemed very fragile.

"What was I supposed to do Kacchan? Come running to you everytime one of your friends hurt me? Stung me? Hit me? Did you really want me to come get you when I was shoved down just from walking in the school halfway?" Deku's voice was just as high as mine as we screamed in each other's faces.

"YES! I was supposed to be your best friend and you NEVER came to me! Instead you would ignore it but if I fell down even once you came running over? How did you think I would react to that?" I could feel my face turning red but I don't care.

"I already KNEW it would piss you off but having you mad at me was better than you forgetting me Kacchan! How many times did I beg to come over to your house? How many times did I stay after class just so I didn't have to go back home to that monster?" He screamed and my jaw dropped.

"Monster?" My voice dropped back to speaking level but the shock was written all over Deku's face. "What monster?" I demanded, I could feel rage already coursing through me.

"My father, fuck Kacchan why are you asking about this now? Why are you only asking now that I have to answer you?"

"Because you NEVER answer! Everytime we finally start to actually fucking talk here comes Aunty, All Might, Nezu or some other fucking extra or we have to run and deal with some fucking villain! I NEVER get answers and it PISSES ME OFF!" I was breathing heavily but I sure as fuck didn't forget about his monster.

"Why are you calling him a monster?"

"Nothing you did ever put me in the hospital," he turned away, trying to avoid my eyes.

"What the fuck are you talking about? The hag said you had to go several tim-" I froze… Nothing I ever did put him in the hospital… No.

"Deku are you saying what I think you are?" I asked my voice back to normal talking levels.

"Turns out he didn't have any use for a quirkless kid," he tried to laugh but he ended up choking and I could see his eyes, they were dry. No tears in sight.

"Deku, how did Uncle die?" I put a hand on each of his shoulders, refusing to either look away or let him turn away again.

"Kacchan, don'-"

"You have to answer the quirk will only make it worse if you fight it," I hissed, still studying him.

"Mom killed him when she walked in. He was burning me. Holding me down, so I couldn't run away anymore. He was so convinced that he could 'fix' me." Deku kept his head down, not looking up at me. I took in a deep breath but now so much made sense, how often he was out of school. How he would flinch from Icyhot's fire back in highschool. I mean we are 26 years old now, well Deku next week but still.

"Why weren't you ever afraid of me?" I whispered, afraid of the answer.

"Because I made you the way you are. Kacchan you saw it all. You knew it all, but mom had to erase your memories because you couldn't stop screaming for the pain to stop. The doctors said it was trauma but they couldn't just fix that like the burns. So Mom… So Mom fixed it for you. Before she tore herself in two, making the Green Demon separate from her and more aggressive."  He gave up and when he looked up I saw those tears. All the pain he has had to endure but he never cried for himself, but at the mere mention of me getting hurt he is nearly bawling.

"Make me remember," I narrowed my eyes but he only shook his head no. "I said make me remember!" I hissed.

"I can't!"

"Why the fuck not?" We were screaming again and even though we both knew it wasn't helping neither of us were budging.

"Because I love you too much to do that to you again," his voice dropped along with his head as he looked down. He loves me?

"Sorry Kacchan, just pretend I didn't say any-" I didn't listen to what else he was going to say. I pulled him towards me, thanks to my hands still being on his shoulders, and kissed him. It was haphazard, and neither of us were prepared for it but as the seconds ticked by we both relaxed. Moving our lips to meet the other as our tongues explored each other. My hold on him relaxed, slowly wrapping around him, one hand tangling into his hair while the other went to his lower back.

I felt Deku pulling me closer, one hand on the back of my neck as if he were refusing to let me go anytime soon while the other was on my ass. I felt him squeeze and I broke away to moan a little, panting for air as I do.

"We are not done talking yet," I hissed before I gently tugged on his hair. "But we can talk more later?" I waited to see his reaction only for him to hesitate before pulling me in for a kiss as we held each other close, our waists were flush against each other as we both tried to pull the other closer.

Deku pulled away, licking his lips only for me to dive in to lick along his lips, meeting his tongue as I did, until he pulled away again. "Kacchan, this isn't right, the quirk?"

"The quirk only makes us tell the truth and I love you, kiss me." I growled, only smiling when he jumped into my arms, wrapping his legs around my hips as he did just that.

When he pulled away this time it was to trail kisses down my face and to my neck making me moan at the stimulation. "Conversation is not over but… Bedroom?" Deku asked, pulling away from my neck.

"We'll have to find the damn thing first. I haven't been further than the living room before," I heard him groan at my answer before he hopped down.

"We should probably go to the store first and get a few things." I saw Deku biting on his lower lip after he said the words and I can't help tugging his lip free of his teeth before slowly kissing him.

When I leaned back again we were both breathing heavily and I could only nod in agreement. I can think of a few specific items we would need. Deku's phone went off letting us know that he had a message and when he looked at it, he groaned before showing me the message.

Eraserhead: And don't even think about leaving! The safehouse is completely stocked but if you do actually need something you may call either Red Riot or myself.

Eraserhead: But don't call me. I will be drinking coffee far away from you, problem children.

I was muttering curses and it's not long before Deku and I went searching through the safe house and found the bedrooms, bathroom and of course we found the kitchen. I went to the kitchen to find the fridge decently stocked with the recite for the groceries attached to the door. Looks like it was only stocked this morning, good timing on our part I guess. I looked through the cabinets and found long term staples there too. I decided to make a quick curry for dinner and it's not long before Deku joined me. He was practically bouncing with giddiness while he was getting out the tableware and thankfully he found some wine. I don't really care for alcohol but a nice glass of wine with dinner goes a long way.

When we were done eating we worked together cleaning up before returning to the living room. Dinner had been nice. Deku and I had even helped ourselves to a second glass of wine before sitting down on the couch but now what? We can't just pretend that earlier didn't happen. For fucks sake I sure as fuck didn't even want that but at the same time can we actually just return to what we had been doing?

I downed the wine in my glass only to pour myself another and turn to see Deku's empty glass. I offered and he smiled holding his glass out for me. When I put the bottle back down I leaned back and Deku started asking questions, some were really kind of funny and others made me think. But the last ones had me in tears.

"Does nitroglycerine actually help you get hard and stay hard? Do you still need to see a doctor if it lasts for more than four hours? Have you been hard that long before?" Deku was mumbling and his wine was nearly gone but we simply finished our glasses, opting out of refilling them again.

"Want to find out?" I asked, setting my glass down, I'm not drunk by any stretch of the imagination but I AM horny but then again, I've been horny a lot recently. Not that I've actually been able to do anything about it.

I saw him bite his lower lip again before he finished his glass, handing the glass to me. "I found some 'things' and put them in the bedroom." I watched him lick his lips before I tackled him there on the couch. Our tongues finding each other, searching, exploring, looking for anything we may have missed since last time.

We were tearing off our clothes before we started making our way to the bedroom and when I could finally be inside of him, his throaty moans urged me on as I thrusted. Thanking whatever deity there was that Deku had found lube, because I didn't want to wait and Deku was already clawing up my back while begging for more. His lips called out for me until I took them in mine, his fingers clawing up my back, trying to pull me in deeper and his tongue tasting mine like it was the most amazing thing on earth. The earth could have been splitting open and we wouldn't have noticed.

When we came back down from the high that was our climax I held him close refusing to let him go. "Mine," I whispered only for him to giggle and snuggle closer.

"Next time it's my turn," He giggled in my ear and I couldn't help the smirk I was sporting.

"Mmm, I look forward to it." I kissed him, his lips already slightly swollen from the abuse they just took but he let me anyway.

"We should have done that a long time ago," he whispered in my ear while he played with my hair. We were holding each other. Enjoying the warmth the other provided.

"We should have talked long before now. Deku I'm not the same brat I used to be, trust me. I can handle it," I kissed the top of his head and I felt him relax in my arms.

"Okay," it was so quiet I almost didn't hear him at all but then he started retelling the horrors of our youth. The nightmares that I thought were merely bad dreams coming to life and becoming our history. By the end he was crying, telling me how it was all his fault that I spent over a month in the hospital from burns, my screams still echoing in his head even after all these years.

I just held him letting my mind fill in the gaps he tried to leave out as my memories seemed to unlock themselves. Every now and then I would kiss him gently trying to soothe whatever horrors he was currently talking about. Turns out Aunty went full Mama bear on his ass and that month I remember not being able to sleep had nothing at all to do with her. I have no idea when the tears started sliding down my own eyes but I didn't bother to try and wipe them away.

Deku has lived with this for years, more than two decades. When he was finally done I just held him.

"I love you nerd. Don't ever hide from me again." I told him and when he nodded I could feel myself relaxing. "Let's get some sleep, we have a week to make up for the last several years," I couldn't help grinning when Deku flinched, looking up with a smile on his own face as he let his excitement show.

I guess he thought I would go back to hating him? To bad, he is mine now and I'm not fucking letting go.

The week passed and the quirk only actually lasted for three days but since it was just Deku and I here it didn't really matter. The only reason we know for sure it had worn off was because we kept testing it with stupid shit. Things like, I would try to say my hair was blue while Deku would try to say he hates katsudon. Like I said, stupid shit.

But on our last day we were lounging in the living room when we heard the door open. We both jumped up ready to fight whoever had walked in when Eraserhead walked around the corner and we relaxed again.

"Nice seeing you two getting along, the safe house is still actually standing?" He looked around and I just rolled my eyes before slouching back on the couch. Deku relaxed back so that his head was laying in my lap again while we went back to watching the news. They were actually talking about us. There was a video of us talking by the detective and cop from last week but you couldn't make out our faces and there wasn't any audio.

"What could have happened to upset these heroes to such an extent? As you can clearly see the Hero Red Riot actually held Dynamight down while Deku made a phone call. What could have happened in the fight to make the current number one hero and former number two hero disappear without a trace?" The News lady kept talking but there wasn't any real news all week. Just everyone asking where we were. I mean why is it that that is the only thing any of them could report on? Is there really not any villain attacks going on? No schools that needed to be built or some shit? Nothing at all? Just where are Deku and Dynamight now?

"A week alone is all it took to get you two to behave?" Eraserhead asked and I couldn't help frowning at him. His tone is all wrong and he doesn't even seem mildly surprised.

"We get along just fine when people leave us the fuck alone," I raised an eyebrow at him waiting for him to snort or otherwise laugh at it. But instead he just took a seat in the armchair, joining us as we finished watching the news. When it was over I turned the TV off and looked directly at our old teacher. He just sat there drinking a cup of coffee that he brought with him and I made a face.

"That shit is going to end up killing you," I warned him.

"This is the only reason you two are alive today," he smiled before taking another sip of the black as his soul substance.

"So are we good to go home now? My hag isn't going to be happy taking care of Aiko for a whole week." I grumbled but Deku yawned, stretching so that he was more in my lap than before so that he could look up at the older prohero.

"Aiko?" He asked instead, ignoring my question as he did the fucking asshole.

"My cat," I said through ground teeth trying to keep from lashing out at him.

"You have a cat?" The look of shock and surprise on his face had me setting off explosions on impulse.

"That a problem?" I was trying so hard to stay calm but my anger was out of control.

"Kacchan?" Deku asked, sitting up, getting my attention again. I grumbled looking away trying to calm down only to feel his hand on my face making me look up. He gave me a light kiss and I felt my body tense up a little before I relaxed, letting him lead while I felt all my muscles uncoil.

Odd usually it takes a lot longer for me to calm down once I get irritated. Not that I'm complaining, hell if this works every time I could see a lot more kisses in my future. It took a minute but Deku did finally pull away before he pulled my head towards his chest and I just let him, enjoying the way he played with my hair.

"Well that answers a lot of questions from over the years," Eraserhead said while rubbing his forehead. "Why didn't I ever think of that?"

"I'm going to ignore that," I hissed glaring at him only for Deku to giggle and I smiled before snuggling into him. Yeah, I could get used to this.

"I'm glad Mom enjoyed herself and it's nice that she is whole again. I really didn't like her split in half." Deku yawned as we got to his apartment.

"Yeah. Hey Deku?" I asked, not allowing myself chicken out, he hummed and I went on. "Move in with me? My lease is ending next month, we could find a place big enough for both of us?" The next moment Deku's arms were around my neck and he pulled me in for a kiss.

"Move in with me, I have plenty of room and my lease only just renewed a couple months ago." The way his big green eyes sparkle should really be illegal. I nodded and he jumped up kissing me again.

"Great! I'll spend the week cleaning and after that we can start moving you in!" He started muttering and I couldn't help chuckling.

"Damn Nerd," I smiled before pulling him in for another kiss. "Get off me so I can go home and pack. I have a lot of shit to go through," I tried to sound serious but the smile on my face must have let him know I was joking because he started giggling before hopping back down and running inside before blowing me a kiss and closing the door. Not inviting me in.

"Damn Nerd, I'll get you for that." I smiled before I left for home. It's about time life settled down.
