《The Bookstore》Chapter 8

"Ya know, I'm not sure if we can keep going at this, I can't find your stupid book, it's been 30 minutes, and my shift ended 5 minutes ago," Grumbled Izuku walking to the door and looking outside to see that it was still pouring outside.
"Ugh, this is going to suck."
Katsuki definitely noticed the weather earlier, so of course he had brought an umbrella.
Yes, this was the perfect chance, Deku didn't seem to have an umbrella.
"Um hey," Katsuki says a little too quietly walking closer to the other man but he must have not heard him.
At first he didn't notice but he saw Katsuki out of the corner of his eye's.
"I was wondering if I could walk you home, I noticed that you didn't an umbrella," he says.
"It's fine, I'll just call an Uber or something," he huffs putting a coat over his uniform.
"I insist, plus you won't need to pay," Katsuki tries again.
Izuku thought over what the pros and cons of the situation was, well first he wouldn't have to pay for an uber but then Katsuki would probably end up starting a conversation with him.
"Fine, it's cheaper..." he says finally.
Katsuki smiled at him while Izuku just rolled his eyes, "Let's get this over with," He huffed.
Katsuki opened the door for him and the two men stepped outside into the rain.
He opened the umbrella and soon the two of them were on their way to Izuku's dorm.
Nishimoto watched as the two of them disappeared from his view, "I fucking ship it."
Katsuki was the first one to speak, "Sooooo, what high school did you go to?" He tried his best to start a conversation with the other man so it would be less awkward.

"I went to Takenodai," Izuku said.
"Um well, was it a good school? I've never heard of it."
"Of course you haven't, it wasn't that good but the people there was nice, a lot more quirkless kids went to school there so no one really cared about me."
"Oh that's good then."
"I heard you graduated one of the top three in your class at UA."
"Yeah, but Icyhot was stronger and Ponytail was smarter than me."
"Umm anyway, could I ask you a little favor..."
'Holy shit what kind of favor could it be? Wait Katsuki, don't get ahead of yourself,' he thought.
"Yeah anything."
"Anything?"
"Yes anything."
'Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, what is he going to ask me?'
"Uhhhh, so basically my roommate, I mean I guess he's my friend too, never mind that, he's fucking obsessed with you, he literally has posters of you littered all over his side of the bedroom."
"Go on..."
"So basically, if your not busy could you follow me up to the dorm so you could meet him, he probably wants your autograph or some shit. I don't really care though. I'm doing this for him because the last time I brought you up I think he was going to have a fucking seizure."
'A chance to find out where Deku stays? Wait that sounded kind of stalkerish...'
"Um yeah sure, I mean I like meeting some of my fans..."
'No I don't but this is for Deku.'
Deku's face morphed into a smile that I haven't seen in a while.
"Seriously, thank you so much Katsuki!" His face changed a little bit and continued, "Um, I mean thanks, you know he's going to probably end up licking you though."

"What-"
"Please don't ask, the guys like a dog, he's licked me before..." Izuku says shivering.
“Anyway nevermind that, he’s a pretty cool dude.”
When the two of them got to Izuku’s dormitory, Katsuki shook the umbrella and put it away in his bag.
They got into the old elevator to get to the room, outside of it, they could hear heavy metal playing from inside the room, usually Izuku was always there to tell him to turn it down.
Knocking on the door Izuku says, “Hey, Akio, um I left my key inside earlier can you come get the door for me?”
He heard a yeah sure and shuffling noises to go turn off the music, they heard the door unlock.
“Izuku, how many times do I-“ Akio’s eyes widened as he noticed the other man standing next to his roommate, he also realized that he had once again met another pro hero, not just any hero, Dynamight, shirtless again.
“Hey,” said Katsuki slightly waving.
“Holy shit, you’re Dynamight! Holy shit I don’t have a shirt on, wait give me a second,” Akio says slamming the door.
He came back out with a shirt on this time and a bunch of things, like shirts and other Dynamight merchandise.
“Um, well I was wondering if you could sign this stuff f-for me, I’m a big fan of yours and it would be an honor,” He says bowing down holding out a poster of Katsuki’s fan.
“Yeah sure, anything for a fan,” Katsuki says scribbling down his signature, “And who do I make this out to?”
“Oh um, A-akio,” Akio silently cursed himself for stuttering in front of the man that he looked up to.
“Alright here you go…” He says handing back the poster.
“Um so Dynamight-“
“Bakugou’s fine, I’m not working right now so there’s no need to call me that.”
“Oh ok, um, Bakugou, I was wondering, why are you here?”
Izuku who was silently in the background listening to their entire conversation suddenly spoke up, “Well um, I may have accidentally forgotten my umbrella back here,” Akio shot him a glare, “Sorry, um anyway, he offered to walk me back here, it isn’t really special, I just thought that maybe you would want to meet him since he’s already here.”
“You did that for me?” Izuku nodded his head, “OH MY GOD IZUKU, I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH!” Akio yells as he throws himself on Izuku.
Katsuki who was watching from afar couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy as he watched Akio hug Izuku.
“Um anyway, are there any questions you have, or anything,” Katsuki asks, hoping to break them up.
“No not really,” Akio says getting off of Izuku with a cheeky smile, “Thank you though, you really made my day.”
“You’re welcome, bye Akio, bye Izuku, I hope I can see you again soon!”
“You wish,” Izuku replies.
And with that Katsuki was gone.
