Chapter 2: friends return and shopping surprises

It had been 2 months after his scolding for braking not one but two of the most important rules his mother had drilled into his head from birth, "Izuku Midoriya! What are the three main rules I set." She had growled out staring him down.
"never reveal what I am to anyone, he started as his shame slowly grew never use powers that have not been registered and never let my guard down for at any point and time a monster or hunter could sneak up on me." Looking down him mother placed her hand on his shoulder.


"Izuku I'm not mad, I'm just worried, you broke two of those rules and in front of all might, what would you have done if someone else found you." Looking up he could feel the tears cloud his vision as he stared into his mothers own green eyes.


"I-I don't know what I would have done, I wasn't thinking straight! I'm so sorry." He cried hugging his mother again, and now hear he stood in the middle of the local forest by the park where he usually walked on the weekend.


But unlike usual there was a sweet smell in the air, blinking a smile grew on his face, "so he's back." He chirped before using his monster strength to jump into a tree and start heading towards the cave on the mountain nearby.


Jumping tree to tree silently not even disturbing a single leaf he found himself in a tree near the entrance in no time, the smell of blood was drifting out of the cave, jumping down from the tree he walks up to the cave stopping five meters away.


"welcome back Hitoshi!" he called out listening as it echoed back to him, "do you have to be so loud." A tired voice groaned back as the sound of feet on the cave floor grew closer, "its been a full year since you were here, Im allowed to be loud."


"well I say be quiet." The voice now clearer as a purple haired boy walks out of the cave, "what are you doing back in town and why haven't you come to see me yet." The green haired boy complained as he walked over to the taller purple boy.


"I only got here last night, and I was too busy killing the chimera that was following my scent here not even an hour ago." The purple boy groaned rubbing between his eyes, makes sense that you stayed here when you had a chimera following you, but still that's an hour you could have come and seen me.


"besides do you really think I would waste my time tracking you down when you could be anywhere?"


"yes."


Groaning again the purple haired boy turns and walks back into the cave only to return with a large bag a couple of minutes later, "my smell should have died down by now so I should be able to move back into the apartment." He said as he walked past Midoriya.


"yep! The sweet smell of yours is weak now, so nothing should be following us." He beamed as Hitoshi slowed down so he could catch up, "good."


"its so weird that because you are an insomniac and don't get the three days of sleep that a panther usually needs to emit the sweet smell that once a month you give of a smell that draws in cat monsters or just every day cats on a normal day instead of drawing in every monster but dragons.


"ok first up, I much prefer cat monsters once a month over every monster every three days, and I like having cats come up to me randomly on the street so don't judge me."


"I'm not judging, it's just weard, I'm just glad your back."


Stepping onto the street and out of the forest the boys start to make their way to the apartment complex just one block away from the forest and 4 from Midoriya's place, "so how long are you staying?" the shorter of the two asked.


"I'm planning to go to high school over here so three or so years, might even stay down this way after." Rubbing the back of his neck he turns a bit to watch the smaller thinking, not if we get to the rip first. Green eyes locked with purple, "you can feel it to, cant you? The rip is getting stronger."


"but he has as well." Hitoshi lowers his hand to shove it in his jacket pocket, "it won't be long, one more big burst of power like five years ago and then the prophecy will be proven." Reaching the apartment, the boys walk up to the second story entering Hitoshis apartment.


Dust filled the air easily seen from the sunlight coming through the half-opened curtain, sighing the boys take their shoes off at the door before walking further into the apartment, "one-year sure dose fly fast." The elder mumbled as he ran his finger along the kitchen counter.


"well you've got three more to spend here now."


"yeah." Smiling softly the taller of the two starts to organise the place as the smaller started to clean the kitchen, placing his phone down on the counter Izuku turns on some music as he dusts off the cupboards.


"nightcore really Izuku?" Hitoshi yells out from down the hall most likely cleaning his room. "don't lie I know you love it!" he yells as he turns up the volume, sighing Hitoshi starts to put sheets on his freshly dusted bed.


He only got to make his bed and dust of his desk and nightstand before he could hear Izuku most likely coughing up his lungs, "I'm fine!" he yelled out after a while "the dust decided to attack me when I opened up the cupboard." Looking away from the door he starts to dust the closet and put some of the clothes he brought with him away.


It was just turning dark by the time the house was clean and set up all Hitoshi had to do was buy some food and clothes then he would be all set, "so, want to go shopping now or do you want to go over to my place for dinner."


"lets just get the shopping over with so I don't have to go out for a while." Smiling Izuku jumped off the couch and ran to the door to put his shoes on "how the hell do you have so much energy?"


"because Im not an insomniac cat." Grumbling under his breath that he's not a cat he grabs his phone, wallet and keys he was barely able to lock the door with his feet just in his shoes before he's being dragged away.


"what's got you in a rush? I know for a fact that Inko doesn't care what time you get home as long as you text her." Izuku turns to face him with a mini sun of a smile made of sharp teeth before turning back to the path ahead.


"its just been a while since we got to hangout, besides doesn't this remind you of the day we meet." He slows down dropping Hitoshis hand so he's walking next to him "you mean the day my life when to hell?"


"rude."


"its true."


"no, its not."


"yes, it is."


"no, its true, I was shopping with my mum and then out of no where you come running around the corner screaming to run, no explanation."


"I was saving yous."


"you led a wyvern stargate towards us, grabbed my hand and continued to run."


"I had to get you away from it somehow."


"your just lucky mum was able to kill it as we hid."


"I knew she could win."


"you didn't even know we were monsters till mum transformed and leaped at the wyvern."


Izuku walks a little faster, his cheeks turning red "I have no idea what you mean, I knew that yous where monsters -oh look were here lets go get you some grocery's." huffing he watches the embarrassed green bean grabbed a trolley, "sure."


"ok now what first? milk, bread, eggs, toothpaste, snacks, 5 min meals since your lazy."


"lets just get whatever we need from the first isle and make our way across."


It was dark outside when they finished getting the grocery's, arms full of bags and hungry they decided to get something on there way back, "there's a café/restaurant just down the road that opened just after you left." Midoriya suggested.


"you been there before?"


"I study there sometimes; there hot chocolate is really good."


"well then lead the way."


And that is how he found himself sitting in the corner of a café waiting for Izuku to get the food, he watched the man in all black and weird scarf that sat at the table in the opposite corner to him drinking from the smell of it a mix of coffee/5-hour energy drink and vodka.


'oh my god, and I thought Izuku had bad taste in clothing' "isn't it getting a little late to be outside alone?" 'is he talking to me? Why, what do I say, why am I so bad with human interaction.'


"don't worry sir, were heading back now, lets go Hitoshi." And there he was, Izuku in all his green glory with a bunch of shopping bags to the rescue 'If I didnt know what you are I could of called you an angel.'
As he walked out the door, he heard the man say one last thing "stay safe most monsters and villains work at night." now that isn't ominous at all.


"well then, lets get back to your place before a monster actually does attack."


"right, the faster we get there the sooner I get to meet my bed."


"and the sooner we get food in our bellies."


"the sooner I get rid of you."


"hay!"


"yup, some nice a quiet I cant wait.


"is our friendship worth nothing to you."


"what friendship."


Cue dramatic gasp "how could you say that; we've been friends since we were 8."


"8-year-old me must have been crazy to willingly become your friend."


"my heart, it hurts."


"suffer."

Hitoshi Shinso


monster: panther


A Panther is a creature in ancient legend that resembles a big cat with a multicoloured hide.


after feasting, the panther will sleep in a cave for a total of three days. After this period ends, the panther roars, in the process emitting a sweet smelling odor. This odor draws in any creatures who smell it (the dragon being the only creature immune), they are eaten by the panther, and the cycle begins again.


because he is an insomniac, instead of sleeping for 3 day and then releasing his scent, he continues to release a sweet smell that draws in cats and cat monsters.


monster: wyvern


A Wyvern is a type of winged reptilian beast similar to a dragon in appearance, though it only has two legs whereas dragons have four. Wyverns are not magically inclined the way dragons are, nor are they sentient. they are, however, highly ferocious, strong and exceptional hunters. while some sources state wyverns to be able to breath fire, this is not necessarily the case. however, wyverns are highly venomous and can deliver a deadly poison via their fangs or the barbs on the ends of their tails.
