章 19: Chapter 19 - Toga’s Apartment
A week passed after Izuku's confrontation with Toga. Nothing out of the ordinary happened this week except that his relationship status with some of the people around him changed.
For one, Bakugou had stopped his pursuit of Izuku and changed into more of an observational stance. Izuku thought the guy would've immediately struck the next day but was surprised that Bakugou actually used his head.
Peace was restored to Izuku's school life for now, but he doubts it'll last longer as long as Bakugou is still in it. Though he wouldn't mind beating the shit out of the feral dog again.
His approach to Inko had also changed into more of a subtle way to court a woman. He knew doing it directly would only put her off, so it's slow and steady wins the race type of thing. He was in it for the long game; a year or two of waiting is more than fine for Izuku.
With Toga, however, is when things started to turn rather messy.
Izuku put his backpack on and immediately left when the school bell rings. He had never experienced school in his past life but after trying it out for a week, he felt it was just a waste of time for his goal.
Other than history which actually intrigued him as they were mainly discussing quirk's appearances and its implications, every other subject is useless.
He saw Bakugou eyeing him as he left the room. Izuku somehow couldn't help but flip a middle finger at the guy. It felt like bullying a child, but that child has a literal c4 on his hands so it's probably okay.
Safe to say Bakugou was pissed, but by the time he got to the door, Izuku had already jumped down the window and exited the school grounds. He'd seen other people do this with their quirks before, so he'll attribute it to his if anyone ever asked.
'This school's quirk regulation is all over the place,' Izuku thought before shaking his head. He had told Inko that he will be late again today and directly head towards Toga's hiding place.
Toga had spent the week in the same apartment, which was only a 10-minute drive from Izuku's school.
She tried to live in a location closer to Izuku's, but he vehemently refused. Toga might bother him too much if they were too close. Not to mention, Toga isn't someone like Inko could handle.
Even if it's hypocritical, He, under no circumstances, would ever allow the current Toga near Inko. They were just two different people from two different worlds.
Reaching Toga's apartment door, he inserted the key, only for the door to immediately be opened as a figure rushed into him. Of course, it was Toga.
She had changed back into her clean uniform and let her hair down, as per Izuku's preferences. He had seen her unique hairstyle and although it was cute, he still preferred this version of her.
"Izuku!" Toga excitedly said. She hugged his body as if she was a koala and clinging onto him, not wanting to ever let go.
Izuku patted the girl's head and walked in. The apartment complex she was in was much like his, as they were mass-produced by the government but just a grade lower. The 1LDK room was much smaller and could only be occupied by 2 people.
Everything in the living room was a mess, with a random suit and tie, stacks of paper, and a broken laptop thrown all over the place. "You still haven't cleaned this up?" Izuku asked, kicking the broken laptop out of the way.
He wanted to teach her proper living habits, such as healthy hygiene and cleanliness. Toga must have neglected a lot of things since she's been roaming around, and it'll be his responsibility to fix her up.
"No…" Toga said. She pouted in annoyance as she was lazy to clean the big mess, "But I cleaned our bedroom!" She stopped clinging onto Izuku and led him to the bedroom door.
Izuku saw the clean and tidy bedroom that was decorated with various of Toga's things, including the black hoodie Izuku bought for her hanging on the wall and the army knife he almost slit her throat with.
It kind of baffled Izuku how clean this room is in contrast with the previous room. "At least it's something," Izuku said, ruffling Toga's hair, which she accepted happily.
"HMPEUH!"
"Hmm?" Izuku returned his gaze to the living room, this time in the direction of the muffled noise. He opened the closet door to reveal a cuffed middle-aged man. His clothes were ripped and slashed in various places, but it didn't matter as much as the pool of dried blood in which his head was submerged.
"Oh, you're still alive," Izuku said calmly before closing the door. He noticed the hope in the man's eyes shimmer for a moment before dissipating just as quickly as it appeared.
"I'm surprised he's still here after a week. Won't he smell after a while?" Izuku went back into the bedroom only to see Toga sitting on her pillow, her naked body only slightly covered by her puffy blanket. "Hey, I told you we're not doing it,"
"Hmph!" Toga snorted angrily and started to despair, "Why! Teenage boys are supposed to be horny, right? Even that pig invited me in because he thought I was attractive! "Don't you?"
When Izuku approached her, Toga thought he was finally agreeing to her request, only for her forehead to be flicked by his full power, "Oow!"
"I told you to take better care of your body. What if the pig had a dangerous quirk? What then?" Izuku said, throwing her uniform over her body.
"I'm not weak you know," Toga pouted but still covered her body. While she felt regret that nothing is happening, his care for her is enough for now."Besides, I still have enough of your blood to use your quirk if push comes to shove,"
"Just don't expect me to do anything if things get out of hand," Izuku said. She is after all still her own, and Izuku can't control everything she does. "Let's go, we're going out,"
"Out where?"
"You said you know a guy who makes equipment right?"
"Oooh, what are you getting?"
"A few things for your blood quirk and for me, well,
A sword,"
(A/N: Other than the fact that I think pulling a guy with Bansho Ten'in into a sword while pointing it out is kind of cool and deadly, I gave him specifically a sword because of this pic. It'll be his hero costume too so that's a sneak peek into the future.)
