The sunset over Tokyo bay was one of the best parts of being a hero. More specifically, the best part about being a hero that had roof access to every building in the city because they could fly. Or in Izuku's specific case, jump good. Well that, and levitate but that was more like falling less fast. Still, all things considered, he was totally living the life.

Single.

Eating instant ramen.

But hey, he was climbing the hero charts and had even moved out of his parent's place two weeks ago! If he kept his current growth up, he'd be in the top ten in no time! But he wasn't in too big of a rush, even All Might took a while to get into the top ten. The only person that was faster than All Might was Hawks.

But that guy was a freak.

Seriously, Izuku once watched the man fight three crimes, rescue six bystanders all while flirting with Shoto's older sister. No one else could make being a hero look so casual. Even if Izuku were to try being that cool, he'd just end up hurting people. Mostly himself.

Hawks probably would have asked Kyoka out if they had switched places. And now he was thinking about her again. Dammit. It wasn't always a bad thing, but he kind of thought that growing up would mean he stopped having this crush on her. It wasn't like they had spoken recently. And by recently he meant in over a year. Two, actually.

"Man, I must be the biggest loser in the whole world, huh?" Izuku looked up towards the setting sun and sighed to himself. Maybe he should install a dating app or something to see if there was anyone that wanted to date him. Well he knew there was, his mail box showed that much.

"Maybe," A soft voice came from beside him and he felt his heart skip a beat or two. Or three, was he having a heart attack? Wait, no, this was just a panic attack. Hadn't had one of those in a while. "But at least the view's good."

Kyoka Jiro, dressed in her rock'n punk hero costume sat down next to him, her breath was heavy and she had a bit of sweat on her forehead. She was still as beautiful as he remembered her being. Maybe even more so. Her dark purple hair was a lot longer than he remembered it being, now down to the center of her back and looked just as silky smooth as when he felt it on his arms all those years ago.

Was it really so long ago?

Dammit.

Kyoka looked at him and smiled. "How's it going, Green, been a while, huh?"

"Yeah," Izuku blinked, trying really hard not to blush. She had gotten prettier! Wait. This was his chance! A real hero would ask her out right? The setting was good, they were alone, the sun was setting and they were on a roof top so- wait. "How did you get up here?"

"Door." Kyoka's ear jack pointed towards the now open roof access door and shrugged. "Heard you muttering about yourself and ran up to see you."

Was that a sign? That had to be a sign, right? It felt really signy.

"I've only been up here for like ten minutes."

"Felt like getting my cardio in. Besides," Kyoka twirled one of her ear jacks around her finger and gave him a soft smile. "I've been thinking about you a lot, ya'know?"

"You have? Good thinking or bad thinking?" Oh hey, look, his heart was doing that thing it did when a girl he liked was talking to him. Only instead of a little doki doki, it was a whole lot of doki doki. Like a lot of doki doki. Could Kyoka hear his doki doki?

She kicked her legs against the side of the building and looked down. "Woah, maybe I should have waited for you to pick a smaller building."

"If you fall, I'll catch you."

Her smile brightened, though her eyes took on a glint of mischief. "I might just take you up on that offer for fun. Watching the future number one drop his ramen to save me might just make my week."

"Please don't," Izuku blew on the ramen. "This was expensive."

"Look at you, when did you get such a sense of humor?" She shoved him on the arm lightly.

"I've been taking comedy classes."

"Really?"

"No."

Kyoka snorted and let out a chuckle, while she wiped her eyes with her ear jacks. "Honestly, this whole confident you thing, you have going on, is pretty amazing, Izuku. So much different from how you were in U.A. But, you're also still the same. It's nice, ya'know?"

"Thanks, you, uhh, too. I mean, well, you just seem to be more willing to smile now." Izuku poked at his ramen, his appetite for it was all but gone. He should ask Kyoka if she wanted to go get some real food. If she shot him down then he would eat cold alone, roof top ramen.

"Yeah, looking back on it, I was a bit of a grump and so unsure about myself with everything. Like I always kind of figured that once I got to this age, I'd have shit figured out and that I'd be an adult or something." Kyoka leaned back, her eyes focused on the sky. "I made a lot of choices back then waiting for me to be ready for them, waiting for myself to be mature. But really, turns out, we never really do get everything figured out, huh?"

"Nope, but we do get just a little bit closer each time."

He was going to do it. He was going to ask her out.

"Ya'know, one of the things I regret most is not giving you a chance back then." She kept her eyes to the stars, a smile growing on her face. "But I just kind of pushed you away because we were teenagers trying to become heroes. And all that shit that happened, it just felt like a bad time for something like that."

She turned to him an ear to ear smile on her face. "So, what I'm trying to say is, wanna try and go out? Properly this time."

He wanted to scream yes, he wanted to run around in cheer. Instead, he did something dumber. He grabbed onto her, pulling her up princess style and jumped. "Yes!"

"What the! I didn't actually want to jump, you jerk! Oh god! Why were we so high up? Where are we going! Don't let go!" Kyoka muttered a dozen things as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, the entire city speeding past them. "Just say yes like a normal person."

"Kyoka," Izuku said as he started to levitate. "I feel the same. I've wanted to date you for years. So yes. I want to do things properly this time."

Even against the bright city lights, he could see her blushing. "That's good, just warn me next time you want to jump off a building."

"Sorry, sorry, I just got so excited."

"I'll forgive you if you take me out to dinner tonight."

Kyoka still didn't know what she was.

But in six months she knew that she was a Midoriya.

And then in three years, a mother.

AN: End!
