"Shouto! All Might wants to say hello" Izuku beams as she holds up her rather large scruffy bunny to her girlfriend as she comes and sits beside her on the freshly-cut grass in the green haired girl's garden.
"Hello, All Might" Shouto chuckles, stroking the bunny as she picks him up and places him on her lap. His fluffy blonde ears resting against the side of his head.
"He's really missed you while you were away" Izuku states, scooting closer to pet the bunny.
"Did you miss me too Izuku?" Shouto asks as she looks at Izuku with a gleam in her eyes. Knowing that she'd missed her very much.
Nodding, Izuku slowly and shyly leans forward to place a delicate kiss Shouto's soft lips. Feeling the latter smile as she did so, her hand reaching up to wrap around the green curls, pulling her closer.
They were still rather new to this dating thing. And having missed their one month anniversary while Shouto was away for training purposes, it felt like they needed to do a lot of catching up. They needed to be with each other again. Because they craved it.
"I'm really sorry for missing such an important time. You think you can forgive me?" Shouto asked as she pulled away slightly, feeling the bunny jump off her lap and hop around the garden, unable to escape. She took this opportunity to slip Izuku onto her lap instead, replacing one bunny with another.
"Of course, it's not like you could help it! It's important to place your dreams before me" Izuku smiled as she leaned down to kiss her girlfriend again, her hands cupping the others slightly flushed cheeks as if she were fragile.
"You're not making me feel any better here, bunny" Shouto smirked, unable to help but laugh into the kiss her girlfriend was unwilling to stop. Izuku always was clingy. Not that Shouto thought that was a bad thing at all. In all honesty, she felt the need to be clingy around her girlfriend too. Perhaps that was the way they'd always been, even before they officially belonged to one an other. The constant eye scans they did for each other whilst in the centre in a crowd of hundreds, was one of their first instincts when in danger. The subtle but yet huge hints they tried to leave each other—random little hints of how much affection they just wanted to shower each other with. How much they cared.
"But it's true. I wouldn't want you to give up your hopes and dreams for me. I would rather have Shouto be my happy, intelligent and most amazing hero" Izuku smiled when her girlfriend giggled, pulling back slightly to give each other small eskimo kisses.
"But bunny you're the most amazing hero. You flatter me too much" Shouto pulled up one of her hands to gently brush Izuku's curly hair behind her ear softly.
"But I like to flatter you Shouto. It makes me very happy" Izuku smiled affectionately.
"Then i'll allow it. There's nothing better than seeing you happy" Shouto decided. And it was true, she wouldn't ever retract that statement. Of all the years she and Izuku had been friends, she found the most comfort when the other was happy. Because seeing her hurt or crying literally tore her world in two. Every time.
"There is something better" Izuku stated.
"Oh really?"
"Mhm!"
"And what's that?"
"Seeing you happy" Izuku smiled, watching Shouto's cheeks burn, soon accompanied by a large cheesy smile.
"What did I ever do to deserve you?"
"Noooo, what did I ever do to deserve you?" Izuku corrected, giggling at how amused Shouto seemed.
"Bunny, stop thieving my compliments" Shouto grinned, her hands moving to Izuku's sides as she began to tickle the other softly, the green haired girl slowly sliding off her lap and onto the ground.
"Ah! S-Sh-Ha! Ha! S-sto-p i-i-t" Izuku made out between between loud laughs, trying to fight Shouto off of her. But was proved to be unable when Shouto's knees held down her thighs on the ground. The taller girl hovering over her with those taunting hands.
"Only if you'll accept me saying something nice to you, and no firing it back at me" Shouto said as she hovered over Izuku, still practically sitting on her thighs.
"Okay, okay!" Izuku giggled, not wanting to be tickled again for the fear that she might need the toilet. And she really didn't want to leave her girlfriend right now. She still needed to fill up her Shouto meter, which was looking pretty dusty since the other left. Of course, there were the constant facetimes and text messages throughout, but it would never be the same as having Shouto beside her right now.
Shouto smiled at Izuku's heavy breathing from lack of air, her small blush that made the cute freckles on her cheeks ever the more enticing. The way her curly green locks made her eyes all the more hypnotic as it carved around the structure of her round face. Her puffy pink lips that were parted in the effort to regain what her lungs had lost.
Izuku was beautiful.
Inside and out.
The short girl had a pure heart of gold but at the same time kept her indomitability, passion and her fortitude. Shouto truly admired Izuku's determination; her strengths, her weaknesses, her flaws, her spirit, her drive, her kindness and acceptance. She loved it all. And wasn't afraid to admit that she'd never been more infatuated with anything in her entire life. However, she knew that her feelings weren't simply admiration. She loved her physically as much as she did emotionally, even if Izuku was someone who she greatly looked up to. Izuku admired her to do better. She wanted to become stronger. In all places that she felt love for Izuku.
The way Shouto would find little freckles as she slowly began discovering Izuku's body was another thing on her 'many reasons why I love Izuku' list.
She adored the way her hard work showed in her muscles. Evidence that Izuku was capable of taking care of herself when in danger. Shouto hardly even had to worry anymore. Her lover could take care of herself. Which eased the pain slightly of ever losing her in an untimely manner.
She truly loved all of her. So the only thing she could think of-the only thing that way on her mind. We're those three words.
"I love you" Shouto whispered, gazing affectionately down at her partner who stared at her with wide, glossy, green eyes. Shouto knees no longer holding her down, but beside her hips on the grass. Her hair falling into her and Izuku's face slightly as she looked down at the stunned girl below her. They'd never said this to each other before, so she could totally understand.
"I love you too" Izuku mumbled, breaking the comfortable silence between them once again.
Shouto's lips drew upwards as both their cheeks burned red with embarrassment. But at the same time, they weren't embarrassed, they already felt the love practically radiating off of one and other, yet finally saying the words just made them feel extremely giddy. Their cheeks burned with fondness, one of the physical formations of what their love did to each other.
Leaning forward, Shouto pulled Izuku into a feather light kiss, the sweetest and most tender moment of their relationship so far.
"I thought I said no fire backs" Shouto smiled, her cheeks hurting from happiness.
"I'm sorry Shouto, It slipped out" Izuku lied, laughing under her breath.
Shouto looked to the side of them to see the blonde bunny 'All Might' watching them, his nose twitching cutely as he hopped onto Izuku's chest, grateful that Shouto had gotten off his owner so he could cuddle into her tummy and fall asleep.
"I don't think i'm moving for a while" Izuku laughed as she looked down at the sleeping bunny.
"That's alright, we can stay out here for as long as you want..." Shouto stated, grabbing Izuku's hand and intertwining their fingers as she lay beside her. Both now talking about small and useless things. The tender moment gone-yet still ever present in their minds. Their gossip was carefree. Away from their troubles. Their escape from how hard being a hero truly was.
