℘Chapter Eight - A Redhead, Condoms and a Ring℘

Twelve Years Later
"Jesus fucking Christ, Deku. I had him where I fucking wanted him. But you just had to fucking fuck me up by running in!" Katsuki runs his hands through his pale blond hair and tugs at the roots. I slap his hand away and grin up at him.

"Don't get pissy, Kacchan. We won. We saved the civilians. That's all that matters. It doesn't matter who takes down the bag guy; we've been through this." His crimson eyes meet mine and I shiver. Even after having been his partner for just shy of a decade, his attractiveness still affects me.

He knocks his shoulder into mine as he passes me, but it's not meant with any ill-intent. I shoot him a smile as he turns his head to face me whilst he walks. His hand slowly falls behind him and extends towards me. I jog up to him and discretely take it. We walk passed the flashing cameras and I shoot the journalists a tired smile. Kacchan pushes me away slightly and motions for me to jump.

I bend my legs and shoot into the air, Katsuki right beside me, explosions firing behind him. We land on a far away rooftop and quickly make our way into the building. Kacchan looks back at me and gives me a slight smirk. He stops in front of a door and kicks it open. It slams loudly against the wall and I follow him into the room, confused.

A large man with bright red hair is sitting down, nursing a mug off hot chocolate. He turns to us as Katsuki loudly makes his presences known.

"Eijirou?!" My eyes widen and I grin widely as his face mirror's my look of shock. I take a small step towards him and in an instant, his mug is set down, he's up and his muscly arms are around me. His hug is comforting and I can't help but let loose a few tears.

"It's been quite awhile, Deku." His voice is happy. I pull away and grin up at him.

"It really has! I haven't seen or heard from you since graduation. Kaminari as well." Kirishima flushes slightly when the blond is mentioned and at that moment, a door to the right hits the wall with a slam.

"Okay babe, I know you prefer the vanilla flavour, but we only have chocolate condoms. I can run to the corner store if you-" Kacchan, Kirishima and I all turn to stare at Kaminari as he walks into the room, holding a string of condom packets. His voice cuts off as soon as he sees Katsuki and I. Kacchan is quick to grab my hand and yank me into his chest. Kaminari throws the condoms out of the open window on instinct and lunges over to the couch.

"Oh h-hey guys. Good to see you. Been a long time, aye? Have any kids yet?" My cheeks flush and Kastuki growls lowly behind me.

"Haha, no, not yet Denki." Everybody in the room freezes and I mentally face-palm. Fuck.

"Yet?" Eijirou pipes up and I refrain from punching him. "You guys getting busy when you're not on the job? Heh." Kacchan holds out a hand and gives Kirishima the stink eye.

"I came here to get it off you. Now give it." The redhead nods and pulls a small, wooden - an intricately carved - box out of his jacket pocket. He gently places it in Katsuki's outstretched palm. I ogle the box with a dreamy sigh and Kacchan thrusts it into his pocket.

"What is that?" My blond partner grabs my wrist gently and tugs me out of the apartment, giving me a second to say farewell. "Where are we going?" He grunts roughly and once we reach a secluded corner of the building, throws me against a wall. His hand slam beside my head. His lips aggressively catch mine and I melt into him. It isn't often that Kacchan shows this much affection towards me. I lap it up like a thirsty animal. My hands go to his chest and start tracing patterns onto the skin showing through his costume.

He pulls himself off me and digs out the pretty, little box from just before. "Marry me." It isn't a question, nor a request, it's a demand. And who am I to disobey?

"I'd love to." His eyes fill with mirth and I giggle as he pulls me away from the wall and into a dip. His lips press into my costume clad stomach and I look at him adoringly. I've been waiting so long for this day.

He moves me so I'm standing and I lock lips with him again. My hands find their way into his spiky hair and I tug. I pull away.

"Where's my ring?" He tries to kiss me again, but I keep him away. "Gimme." Kacchan Huffs and opens the box. It's simple, but still so beautiful. Silver band, with small diamonds swirling around the top. A slightly larger ruby sits in amongst them, glittering prettily. I swipe it from the box and slip it onto my finger. A perfect fit. I look up at Kacchan and smile through the fresh tears.

"Thank you." He responds with a gentle kiss to both my eyes and soft whisper.

"I love you, Izuku."

"I love you too, you big goon!"
