Izuku gently fiddled with his hands, glancing off into the sunset. He looked back down to his attire, his thoughts swirling inside his head. His blue sweatshirt was a little too plain, and his jeans were too tight. His red sneakers didn't match at all, and his socks made his feet itchy. He was uncomfortable, and nervous. He wanted to go home.

The small greenette sighed, looking up to the glowing TEASER's sign. He could hear the booming music from outside, as well as loud cheers. Any usual person would get a headache from such a racket, but he had somewhat gotten used to it, by now. That's why he didn't flinch when he walked in, music suddenly becoming louder. He was immediately met with the smell of beer, and multiple drunk pats in the back. He recognized one of his coworkers, dancing onstage, as well as some of his usual customers, who were admiring her.

Midoriya managed to slip past several drunk customers, before reaching the counter, where the familiar bartender was standing.

"Denki!" Izuku quietly cheered, sitting down on one of the red stools. Bright eyes immediately landed in his, a cheeky smile appearing on handsome features.

"Ah, Deku! I didn't know you had a shift tonight!" The blonde male exclaimed, leaning against the counter as he continued to wash his glass. The greenette smiled shyly, shrugging.

"I don't. I'm actually here to meet somebody. Did anyone come see you, asking for me?" He questioned, watching as his friend thought for a moment.

"Yeah, actually. Some hot blonde dude came over about fifteen minutes ago, asking if I had heard anything about you. I told him you didn't have a shift tonight, since he seemed like one of your usuals." The blonde shrugged, seeing the look of disappointment on the smaller male's face. Izuku's mind suddenly fogged with worry. He was late, and he knew it. He had put too much time into his lousy outfit, even though there was no point in doing so.

"Did you notice if he left or not?" The small male worried, an unsure look settling itself on the bartender's face.

"Uh- I'm not really sure. I know he sat in a booth for a while, he ordered two beers. So I figure he's still around, how about you go see?" Kaminari continued, putting away several clean mugs. Izuku nodded, looking around. The crowd was too thick for him to see at the other side of the bar, which meant he needed to take a small walk. He started from the closest corner, walking past numerous booths. Each and every one of them were occupied, by obvious friends, older couples going out for a thrill, or just lonely men looking for something different.

After going by several booths, he almost wanted to give up. There was no sign of the blonde, and he had already gone around over half the building. All there was left were the old booths in the corner, which nobody used because of the poor view to the stage. The small male continued his adventure, bumping into people by accident as he walked. He eventually made it to the empty side of the bar, where emerald orbs fell into crimson ones. He couldn't help but let his smile beam, relieved to have found the person he had been looking for. He immediately hurried to the piece of furniture, sitting down across the table.

"I'm so sorry I'm late- I lost track of time!" Midoriya apologized, earning a weak smile from the taller male. "I didn't keep you waiting too long, did I?"

"Nah, it's fine. Here." Bakugou spoke, his voice sending shivers down the freckled male's spine. Izuku looked down, eyes landing on the blonde's hand, which held a beer. He gently grabbed it, taking a sip with a smile.

"Thank you!" He giggled, trying to hide the awkwardness. He was nervous. He had never been on a date like this, before. Actually, not many people used to be attracted to him. Now, it's a different story.

"So, tell me about yourself, Izuku." Katsuki eventually spoke, breaking the heavy silence. Midoriya swallowed his sip of beer before smiling gently.

"Um, I mean, you already know about my side job." He giggled awkwardly, earning an amused scoff from the other. "But, other than this, I mostly spend my time at university, or studying." He continued.

"That's right, you want to become a doctor, right?" The blonde questioned, receiving an adorable nod from the bubbly male. He was attracted. Not sexually, or physically. But romantically attracted to Izuku. He could tell. He found him attractive, interesting, sweet and respectful. He loved him, even if he knew it was early. Yet, he was still sure of what he was going to say next. He needed somebody by his side, someone to share everything with. Izuku was available, and clearly unhappy with the job choice he had made. It's a perfect match.

"You work here for money, right?" The blonde questioned.

"Oh, yeah. I mean- I never thought I'd be doing such a sinful thing. But here I am! Not proud of it, though. But I need the money to pay my school debt. Here, I make 1000 Yen per night, easily. So that helps a lot! Plus, with the café I'm working at during the day, I make about 100 Yen per week, since I don't put on a lot of shifts. I also need to study and go to school, between all this. One week at the university costs me about 700 Yen per week. So, every week, I make about 5100 Yen per week. But at first, I didn't have a job, so I got in debt with my courses. Which is why I'm working hard, right now. I only have about 3000 Yen to pay off, now. So I'm glad- But every week, I only end up giving them around 1000 Yen, since I have to put the rest in savings, and towards my personal things." The small male rambled, his voice somewhat soothing the blonde. He loved the sound of Izuku's voice.

He loved him, he really did. Yet he couldn't help but say what he said next.

"How about you live with me? Less bills to pay. I could give you some money. You wouldn't have to work in this shithole, anymore. Let me take care of you."
