~Katsuki's POV~

It was now Saturday morning and I didn't want to open my eyes (I could feel Deku's ghostly eyes on me) but at the same time I did, so I could go on that date with Halfie.

For the entire week, he's been very friendly and open. For him at least. Considering simply talking to anyone seemed to be too much for him. He usually only answered anything in one to two-worded answers, one syllable more and he'd seem like he was dying inside. Two syllables more and he'd look like he's dying on the outside. Three syllables more and he'd really start dragging his feet.

But this past week he's answered anything I ask in more than two words, sometimes even fully-fledged paragraphs. So to be honest, I was kind of excited to go on this date. So I steeled my nerves and sat up ignoring Deku. I went to the bathroom and took my time getting ready. I wanted to look even more flawless than I usually did.

I got out of the tub and began by doing my recently added skincare routine. And not just with my face, my entire body.

"Who are you getting all dolled up for?" Deku asked suddenly out of nowhere with a slight edge to his voice, but I shrugged it off as it just being his ghostly voice acting up again.

"Wouldn't you like to fuckin' know?" I said rolling my eyes and sitting at my vanity grabbing my headband and pushing my hair back to do my makeup.

"Yeah, I would, that's why I'm asking" he grunted phasing through the vanity to appear in front of me blocking my reflection.

"Deku" I sighed, watching him raise his eyebrow at me  "Move, Fuckface!" I whined waving him away. He made a small growling noise but moved anyway. I began looking for my concealer, but couldn't find it for the life of me. I sighed once more and turned around in my chair, looking right at Deku.

"What?" He asked grouchier than usual, a scowl on his face reminiscent of my own.

~What is his problem?!~

"My concealer, you asshat," I said holding out my hand expectantly

"I don't have-"

"Deku," I said cutting him off. He scoffed throwing it at me and fading away. I shook my head and then got ready. I was a little generous with the wing for my eyeliner  and just used falsies instead of mascara. After that, I needed an outfit. Suddenly I felt my chest being squeezed. "Ah! Deku! Damnit! Quit it fucker! I'm trying to get ready!"

"To go where? Why?" He asked appearing in front of me his, eyes darker than usual. Almost black and opaque.

I rolled my eyes at his behavior noticing that he still has yet to release my chest "Deku, let go, I have a date okay, twat, and I'd like to get there in one goddamn piece" I said trying to walk through him and get to my wardrobe but his hands on my chest prevented me from moving

"Why? What's so important about whoever you're meeting?" He asked scowling, then it hit me

"Are- are you fuckin jealous?" I laughed a little

"And?" He asked shamelessly. His eyes darkened even more, his features warping slightly. I sighed

"Deku let me go, I have to get dressed-" he cut me off, getting up in my face

"Why's he so i̵̳̕m̷̩̀̆p̷͕͇̰̊̃̔̚ͅȍ̵͈̍ͅr̴͈̦͝ṯ̷̨̽̎̀̕ͅa̴͓̤͂̏n̶͚̟͍̘̎̾t̶͚̮̃̓͝?!" He roared, his voice distorting a bit. I'm going to be honest, I've never been more scared.

"Deku...you don't, there's no way you expected me to stay wi-ith you...right?" I asked gently to preserve my life "I- you're a ghost, you lived, and died, I'm still in the realm of the living, damnit what could you possibly give me-"

The second the words were out he pulled away as though he'd been burned before fading. I sighed before getting dressed. After a bunch of picking, choosing, and refusing I had my outfit.

Once done, I fluffed my hair up a little and went downstairs, I probably should've done it earlier but I made some coffee and drank only about half unfortunately. I just put on a bit of lip balm before heading to the door.

"Katsuki" I looked back at Deku, he was half faded into the darkness of the corner half visible "....Don't go"

"....I'll see you later Deku" I then left, locking the door behind me. After which I drove to the location Half n' Half sent me.

"H-hey" Todoroki greeted waiting outside of the cafe

"Hey," I answered standing in front of him. He wore a pair of black dress pants and a light blue button-down. "Uh, a bit formal for a first date isn't it?"

"Ah, yeah, u-uhm, I don't- uhm. You look beautiful" he said, his cheeks tinted pink

"I know, thanks," I said chuckling. He then held out his hand, I took it and he led me into the cafe. I thought he was taking me to a back booth until he led me out the back door. There were small round tables some with five chairs some with two, etcetera, most of which were occupied.

The area was open with flowers blooming and bunnies hopping around in search of food. "A bunny cafe?"

"W-well, I thought a picnic or movie would've been too cliche, a normal cafe would've been boring and cat cafés are on literally almost every corner, they're so popular" he rambled leading me to a table for two.

"Relax Todoroki," I said holding in my laugh. He pulled out the chair for me and only sat after I sat. "So, what do you do for fun"

"Well- I-I read, o-often, ahem! And uh, on occasion I do calligraphy or paint" he said,

"Hmm, what's your favorite genre or genres?" I asked reaching for the menu

"Well, I do prefer Horror, Thriller, Suspense, Sci-Fi, and others along those lines" he answers "preferably without romance..."

"Oh, hell yeah, I hate when there's romance in books or movies of those genres" I huff watching his eyes light up a bit "Like if I wanted romance I would've watched a K-drama or some shit"

"Right?!"

And that's pretty much how our date went from there, surprisingly, Todoroki and I have a lot in common and I am genuinely thinking about taking this further.

"Hey, wanna come over for dinner, we could watch a movie or talk more until then" I suggested feeling my cheeks heat

"I'd love to, however, I had promised my sister I'd watch her menace of an orange cat, but I can 'drop' you off," he said looking a bit guilty

"Sure" I shrugged. Since I was the only one of us who had our own vehicle, I drove, back to my place. When we got there we continued talking until we got to my doorstep "So, not gonna lie, I thought today would be even a little shitty, but you surprised me"

"Well, I'm glad," he said inching closer to me. I usually don't kiss someone after the first date but, ion know, he's cute.

He leaned forward and I bridged the gap between us, pressing my lips against his. I heard his soft gasp allowing me to slip my tongue into his mouth. Before he or I knew what happened, I unlocked the door holding onto him by the collar of his shirt, pulling him inside with me. Then....

THUD!
