Chapter 2: Todoroki X Deku
It was a bright and sunny afternoon in Musutafu, and for once, Izuku Midoriya, known to the world as Deku, had a rare day off from his duties as a Pro Hero. The sun filtered through the curtains, making his apartment feel warm and inviting. Shoto Todoroki, his husband and fellow Pro Hero, was out on patrol, and though Izuku missed him, he had an idea that could add some excitement to their day apart.
After a quick breakfast and some mental preparation, Izuku grabbed his phone and opened the messaging app. He knew Shoto's patrol schedule, and he was determined to make this day memorable. With a giddy heart, he started to compose a text.
"Hey, love. Hope the patrol is going well! Just wanted to remind you how much I love you 😘"
Shoto, who had a reputation for being stoic and serious, would appreciate the sweet message, and he might even blush. Before sending it, Izuku paused, his mischievous side stirring. What if he turned up the heat a little?
He took a deep breath and added: "I've been thinking about you all morning... in a different way. 😏"
With a flush creeping onto his cheeks, Izuku considered the next step. Recovering from his nervousness, he decided to take a daring leap. He deftly posed for a selfie, ensuring to highlight the soft curves of his torso, and sent it with the caption, "What do you think? Missing you a lot... 😏"
He barely had time to set the phone down when a reply came buzzing through.
"Are you supposed to be resting today? You know I worry..."
Izuku let out a laugh, feeling both playful and slightly embarrassed. "Come on, Shoto! Can't I enjoy some creative freedom on my day off? 😁"
There was silence on the other end, and Izuku bit his lip, excitement bubbling in his stomach. He didn't know if Shoto was caught off guard by his more flirtatious behavior or if he was simply tongue-tied.
Then, after a moment, came a text that sent exhilaration racing through Izuku: "Izuku, focus on relaxing. I'll be home soon."
Izuku's heart raced as he quickly typed back, "Maybe I'll keep myself busy until then... 😌"
Biting his lip, he sent another picture—this time a teasing shot of his legs sprawled dramatically on their couch, wearing one of Shoto's oversized hoodies that completely engulfed him.
"I might be a little lonely... 😏 "
He could almost picture the dark-haired hero rolling his eyes, but he couldn't help imagining Shoto's reaction. He sent the message and immediately felt a rush of adrenaline, the thrill of his boldness mingling with a trace of anxiety.
A few moments later, Shoto's reply flashed on the screen. This time, there was a hint of something playful in his tone. "You know how I feel about distracting you while I'm working?"
Izuku smirked, mischief flashing through him. "What if I made it worth your while when you get home? I've got a few ideas... 😉"
There was a pause before Shoto responded, the tension palpable. "Be careful, Deku. You know how I get when I'm distracted."
Izuku's heart soared at the implication of Shoto's words. He envisioned his husband, focused and serious on his patrol, but underneath the cool exterior, stirred a flame of desire.
"I may be just a little dangerous," Izuku texted back, feeling his cheeks warm, "but I bet I could give you some very good reasons to hurry home..."
In the heat of the moment, Izuku added a final, bold message before setting his phone down. "I'm counting down the minutes, Shoto. Just think of how I'll update you when you get back. I swear, it'll be worth your while... ❤️"
What happened next was entirely unexpected. Almost immediately, Shoto called him on FaceTime.
Surprised yet excited, Izuku answered, only to be greeted by Shoto's handsome face. "Deku," he began, trying to sound serious while his cheeks tinged pink, "you're playing a dangerous game, but I won't lie... This is the best distraction I could ask for on patrol."
Izuku's heart soared at the compliment. "So... do I have your attention?" he teased.
Shoto chuckled softly. "You definitely do." There was a mischievous glint in his eyes. "I think it's time I finished patrol and came home early."
Izuku's grin widened, thrilled by the prospect. "I can't wait to see you!"
As they talked, the playful banter filled their hearts with warmth and longing. The day off blossomed into something much more memorable, and as the sun began to set on Musutafu, Izuku knew it would be a night they wouldn't forget.
When Shoto finally returned, tired yet exhilarated, he found Izuku waiting for him with a smile that promised adventure and love. That day off had turned into the most passionate interlude, a reminder of just how well they could fuel each other's fire, no matter the distance.
