-Midoriyas POV-

The mission failed again. The assassins were faster than us and apparently run away with All might. To be honest, I didn't think that they are this good at their job, especially when they have Kaminari with them.

Actually nothing went good at the mission, it was just a waste of time. We went there, got attacked, killed a couple of assassins, almost got killed because I didn't look out and last but not least, All might got away.

I need to say that Tomura was really pissed when we got back to the mafia office. We had a really, let's say, aggressive discussion and if not Kurogiri, then Tomura would probably kill Kirishima and me. They are really pissed at me, even though I didn't know about Kiri being an assassin, but like Kurogiri said "We don't harm the people on the no-harm-list" and this rule can't be broken.

"Hey Midoriya" Kirishima walks in the shop and to the counter where I stand "Oh, hi Kiri. What flowers do you want this time?" I smile at him as if nothing happened and Toga didn't almost kill him the other day. "Actually I came here to tell you some crazy stuff" I lean on the counter "Okay, tell me" he opens his mouth, but before he could say something, Toga runs in "Hey Deku, you won't believe what Dabi told to me earlier" I look at her and then again at Kirishima, who looks now shocked "Wait, how did she just call you?" he points at her "Wait isn't that the boy from the other day?" "Toga you better shut your mouth now" I look back at Kirishima "Wait THE Toga?" we both look at her and she just realized what she just said "Toga run!" she runs out and Kirishima wants to run after her, but I grab him by his arm and hold him back.

He looks back at me "You are Deku?" I look down in embarrassment. I never really was ashamed of being a villain, but now when I know that Kiri is an assassin, it's kind of weird and feels not right. "Listen Kiri I..." I actually can't explain myself "You what?" I let go of his arm, knowing that he can't run after Toga anymore "Explain yourself Midoriya, or should I say Deku?" "I can't" I whisper "Talk louder" I slam my hands on the counter and Kirishima jumps a little of surprise "I said, I can't. Okay, I'm a villain and now? It's what I've been my whole life. Oh and be happy that you are on the no harm list, because if you were not, you probably would be dead by now!" "Okay then, I would be dead, because that's my job! I couldn't care less about how anyone is feeling about me, especially you!" I step back and look at him in shock. He didn't mean that right? He really doesn't care about how I feel?

He realized what he said, because now his face expression changed to regret. "Wait..I didn't mean-" I cut him off "Of course, yeah. Fuck, why can't I love like a normal person? It always has to be something wrong" I wipe the tears off of my cheeks "Midoriya, I'm really sorry" he wants to take my hand, but I slap it away "Oh, now you want to have something to do with a villain? Was it actually real, all this?"  He stays silent, looking really sorry while I had tears running down my cheeks "ANSWER GOD DAMNIT" I didn't mean to scream at him, it just came out.

"Please Midoriya, believe me, all the feeling were- no ARE real. It's just, you are a villain and I need to kill you, the members of the mafia!" I wipe my tears away again "And? My mission is it to kill All mights assassins, but you are on the no harm list and no one dares to touch you!" for a moment I just look him in the eyes "and for that, I am in big trouble" we look at each other in silence until he breaks it "You really in big trouble because of me?" I nod "Yeah, because that's what I do for people that I love, I protect them" "You love me?" I raise my arms "Wasn't it obvious from the beginning? If I wouldn't love you, you wouldn't be on the  list!".

He stands still, probably searching for the right words. "You don't have to say anything. My feelings were and will be probably always one sided" now he walks up to me, but I turn away "Midoriya please" he grabs me by my shoulders and turns me around so that I face him "It is not one sided!" I stop moving and look him in the eyes "W-what?".

He wipes my tears away and looks me in the eyes "God Midoriya, it was always mutual" he smiles, but still with worry. I don't know what to say so I just stare at him. The next moment his lips were on mine. It seems like his lips only got softer and , of course, hotter. It wasn't something passionate or deep, just a soft long kiss. 

After some time we pull back and keep our eyes closed for just one or two more seconds. "We might get in trouble for that" he says and I chuckle "Yeah, but what now?" he let go of my shoulders "What do you mean?" "I mean what are we going to do about this situation, or what are we-" he puts his finger on my lips before I could say something else. "Izuku Midoriya, will you make me the happiest boy on earth and be my boyfriend, of course they won't know that you date an assassin and I date a murderer" he smiles and nods "Of course, Eijiro Kirishima" he returns the smile and kisses me again.

"Oh, also the flowers for your valentines thing ball are here" he takes a moment to think "Valentines ball..OH oh yeah, great. Also will you go with me to that ball?" "Yep, gonna show everyone our 'normal' relationship. As long as your friends don't know that I'm Deku and as long as you are on the no harm list, everything's gonna be alright" I hug him and he hugs back, we stay like this for a while until he calls Uraraka and tells her about the flowers. Then they picked them up.

Kiri comes the last time to me to say goodbye "Well see ya, my murderous florist" I chuckle at the name and kiss him, then they leave.

Let's just hope that this relationship will really work. Maybe I will be able to have a normal relationship some day? All I can do is hope.

Sorry that it took a little longer for this chapter to come out. I have really bad wi-fi in Croatia and we will be here for the next 10 days
