(Golden Gate Bridge ----->)

Izuku

"Come on!" I squealed, dragging Katsuki through the crowd and onto the bridge.

"How much further?" Katsuki asked, tampering with his blindfold.

"Careful!" Katsuki almost ran into one of the poles, but I snatched his other hand and redirected him.

"This sure is a lot of trouble just to see a landmark."

"Alright! We're here!" I then stood behind Katsuki and loosened the blindfold. Once he took it off I ran towards the railing and looked out to the ocean.

"WHOA..." Katsuki whispered as his eyes filled with marvel.

"I know right? This was the first thing I saw when I came to America. It means the world to me," I sighed in satisfaction at the astonishing beauty of the bridge. How could something be so beautiful and feel so special and warm?

Katsuki

"Alright! We're here!" Izuku loosened my blindfold, and then I tore it off.

"WHOA..." The view was breathtaking. Who knew the ocean was so blue on this side of the world? But the beautiful greenette was stunning, gazing out towards the world from the railing. His viridescent curls flying slightly when a warm gust of wind blew past us. Those gorgeous emerald eyes of his could entice anyone.

"I know right? This was the first thing I saw when I came to America. It means the world to me," Izuku sighed, and I walked over and leaned on the railing next to him.

"This is amazing. Thank you for sharing this place with me."

Izuku looked up and into my eyes, beaming as his pupils glistened in the sun's luminescence, "Anytime! This place is too cool to be kept hidden."

God, he's so fucking adorable. How could someone, me for that matter, fall so hard in only a matter of hours? This is crazy, but I want to get to know him. Be there for him. Make memories together. He reminds me so much of Deku. Even though it's been sixteen years, I miss him so much. Fuck, it's like I can't get him out of my head. Izuku's similar appearance doesn't help either. Maybe they could be the same person. If only I remembered Deku's real name.

"Hey, Izuku?"

"Yes, Katsuki?"

"Can I kiss you?"

"Uh.... s-sure," His eyes widened and his whole demeanor changed to hysteria.

"Good. Because I'm all about consent," I cupped his cheek and leaned close to his face.

Izuku

"Hey, Izuku?"

"Yes, Katsuki?"

"Can I kiss you?"

My heart pounded in my chest and I felt sweat forming on my palms. It's been so long since I've been intimate with someone. What if I can't remember how to kiss? Or worse, what if I'm a bad kisser? I'm overthinking.

"Uh.... s-sure," My eyes widened, but I tried my best to not tense up.

"Good. Because I'm all about consent," This sent shivers down my spine and I knew I wanted this. He cupped my cheek and leaned down, getting closer and closer.

When the space between our lips was met, sparks flew. It felt so gentle and warm, almost inviting. I started to get into it, and slowly raised my hands and ran them through his spiky but soft hair. Katsuki gripped my waist and pulled me closer. A familiar warmth exploded in my chest as I carefully took every detail of the moment into my memory. The salty scent of the ocean, seagulls, and people passing by, the warmth of the sun on my face, the soft feeling of his hair in my hands, his calloused hands on my waist, and the way his lips tasted of cherry chapstick.

The two of us finally parted, panting a bit, "You're lips are so soft and sweet, Izuku."

I blushed madly and looked down at my feet, "T-thanks. You're a great kisser."

"You're so fucking adorable, your freckles don't help at all," Katsuki spoke softly, lifting my head so he could look me in the eye.

How long have I known this guy? Two hours maybe? So why did I feel this strongly about him? We stayed like that, looking at each other for a while until Katsuki's phone began to ring.

"Shit. Sorry, I gotta take this," He turned away and answered the phone.

I stood there, reminiscing on what had just happened. Did I just kiss him? Oh my God, he's so hot. I never act like this! What's with today and taking risks?

"Hey, Izuku. Look I have to go, but I had a great time with you today," I felt a small frown take place on my face, but I quickly smiled up at him and nodded to show I understood.

"Before I go, could I get your number?" Almost immediately I agreed and he gave me his phone to put in my contact. I did the same.

"Well I guess this is goodbye," I said, beginning to turn away.

"We should do this again sometime. You're something different."

"Right back at you. Bye Katsuki!" Waving goodbye, I began to continue my run that I originally started.

As soon as I walked into my apartment, I flopped face down onto the couch and screamed into a cushion. Todoroki who was still on the other end of the couch lazily lifted his head and tapped my shoulder.

"Huh? Oh hey, Todoroki," I smiled, sitting up and beaming brightly.

"Whoa? The hell happened to you?" Todoroki protected his eyes jokingly and I just smiled wider.

"Alright, I know that look. So fucking pour the tea. NOW!"

This made me giggle like a schoolgirl and Todoroki sat up and waited patiently, furrowing his brows in a slow motion.

"Well?"

"So you know how you told me to get myself out there?"

"Yeah. Earlier this morning."

"I got myself out there..."

"You little slut!" Todoroki gasped and I just giggled again.

"I am not a slut!" I tried my best to defend my honor. Todoroki lightly slapped my shoulder.

"I just told you to get yourself out there this morning! It's been seven months since your last date!" Now I was hardcore blushing, remembering what happened on the bridge.

"It's not like I planned on going out with him! It just sorta happened..." Todoroki perked up and I knew he wanted every detail.

"DETAILS. I. NEED. THEM. NOW." Todoroki took away the pillow I was straddling and threw it behind him. Nowhere to hide now.

"Alright! I'll tell you!" I groaned in defeat.

"Start talking," Todoroki turned all attention towards me and I took in a deep breath.

"After you fell asleep, I decided it'd be a good idea to go for a run. So I changed and ran around the neighborhood as usual. But suddenly, some jerk pushed me down and I fell onto the street," I began telling the events that took place only a few hours ago.

"Oh my God! Look at you being so scandalous and forward! What happened to the Midoriya I knew?" We chuckled and hugged each other in excitement.

"This is so great! But for once I'm the single one," Todoroki pouted, looking softly out the window.

Seeing Todoroki sad like that hurt my heart. His past was haunting him and he needed to be comforted. I scooted over and grabbed his chin to make him look at me, "Hey. I know getting back to racing will be hard, but you need to move on."

"I know. I just miss him, that's all," I nodded and Todoroki let out a sigh, backing away and leaning on his back.

"Did you quit today for a specific reason? Maybe to fulfill a promise?"

Todoroki looked over towards me.

"Possibly. I want to make him proud of me. He always believed in me and loved me," Those words rang in my ears and I couldn't help but feel somewhat sad.

"I know he did. He was such a great guy, but I know for a fact that he wouldn't want you mopping around today."

"You're a great friend Midoriya," I just chuckled and began to scroll through some more anime to lighten the mood.
