Chapter Text
Izuku groaned heavily as he scowled at his phone before dropping it in his lap and leaning his head against the car window. Shoto looked up from his phone and raised a brow at his irritated best friend.
"What's wrong with you now?" Shoto sighed.
"Tenya won't stop bothering me about picking a bodyguard," Izuku huffed.
Shoto looked at him blankly, "Then just pick one already,"
Izuku rolled his eyes, "If it was that easy then I would've fucking picked one already," he grumbled.
"What's the issue?" Shoto asked.
Izuku sighed, "I hate to admit it but that stupid fuck was the best bodyguard, it's gonna be difficult to replace him," he mumbled.
Shoto frowned, feeling bad for the boy, "Look I have someone in mind, I think they'll be a good fit,"
"Really? Can you introduce us?" Izuku gave him pleading eyes.
Shoto chuckled, "Yeah I got you,"
"We're here," Momo, Shoto's manager, announced.
The valet walked over to the car and opened the door for them, "We'll be going right up," Shoto told Momo who nodded.
The valet took Izuku's hand and helped him out of the car as the guards outside the building kept the paparazzi away as they took pictures and tried to get at Izuku. Izuku just flashed them a grin and waved having missed his fans in his absence. The duo entered the building and was greeted by Aoyama. Izuku and Shoto had done a photoshoot and today they were looking at the finished product. Everyone adored the Idol and model duo so things like this were extremely good for their careers. This photo shoot is actually a promotion for Izuku and Shoto's clothing line and merch collab. Izuku also did a photo shoot for his new fragrance, he had worked on various projects while on hiatus.
"So let's see the pictures," Shoto pocketed his hands.
A woman walked over handing them both envelopes, "Here you go, these are your physical copies,"
"Thank you," They both smiled at her and she turned red.
"O-oh you're welcome," She said nervously.
Izuku took a seat and crossed his legs as he opened the folder looking through all the photos with Shoto, sending some to Iida to see as well.
"You guys have the final say in which ones we'll be using so set the approved pictures aside," The photographer, Midnight, told them.
"Gotcha," Izuku said without looking up.
"I really like this one," Shoto pulled one out.
"Me too, the lighting hits just right," Izuku turned to Aoyama "This line is my favorite one yet, when do you want to get started on my lingerie line?"
"I won't be free until sometime after your tour but I can draw up some sketches in the meantime. We can discuss it over facetime whenever just let me know," Aoyama said drinking his water.
"Bet, I'll send you some ideas I have later on," Izuku took out his phone to set a reminder.
"Alright, I'll be waiting,"

Shoto was checking his socials when he saw that Izuku was once again trending due to his recent Twitter post.
"So you're confirming it now?" Shoto held up his phone.
Izuku looked up from his own phone to see Shoto showing him a post that he was tagged in and chuckled as he saw the comments.
"Maybe,"
"I feel bad for Tenya, I'm so glad you aren't dating," Momo shook her head as she made a turn.
Izuku gasped, "Yaomomo how could you?! I am a delight to manage,"
"Don't use words like delight to describe yourself," Shoto went back to scrolling through his phone.
"You're so mean to me, and stop liking those post you're ruining my surprise," Izuku pouted.
"I'll think about it," Shoto snickered as Izuku punched him.
"We're here, Izu do you need a ride home later?" Momo asked.
"Nah I'll ask uncle Enji or Fufu to drop me off," Izuku told her.
"Alright then, see you later," She smiled.
"Bye," Both males said as they got out.
"You should really get your license," Shoto said heading for the front door.
"I don't need one, I'm not allowed to drive around myself. It's dangerous," Izuku shrugged.
"Still, it's good to have one just in case," Shoto unlocked the door.
"Alright alright, I'll look into getting one," Izuku sighed taking his shoes off "God my feet hurt, I'm never wearing these on busy days again," he grumbled.
"Here," Shoto picked him up bridal style.
"Awe you're such a gentleman~" Izuku cooed.
"I know,"
He walked into the lounge where Natsuo was seated watching something on tv. He sat Izuku down beside him before going to grab them both a drink.
"Sup bunbun," Natsuo grinned.
"Hey Nacchan," Izuku winced as his feet touched the floor.
"Your feet sore?" He raised a brow.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I've been on my feet all day," Izuku laughed a little.
Natsuo carefully lifted Izuku's legs into his lap and started to massage his feet, "How's that?"
Izuku wiggled his toes, "Good, you're a saint you know that? How'd you learn how to do that?" he smiled.
"This girl I've been seeing is a masseuse and she taught me a few things," He smiled a little.
"Awe you really like her don't you?"
"Yeah, I do,"
"That's so cute! I'm rooting for you," Izuku smiled wildly.
Natsuo chuckled, "Thank you,"
"What's this? Dynamight has been spotted downtown kissing a redhead earlier today. Does that mean he and Bunny have officially split up-"
Natsuo quickly changed the channel to household chick (If you figure it out I love you) and turned to Izuku with a frown.
"Shit sorry I forgot UNY was on," Natsuo apologized.
"It's fine," Izuku waved him off with a laugh.
Natsuo could see that Izuku's mood had dropped but didn't comment on it not wanting to upset the man.
"So how'd the pictures come out?" Natsuo changed the subject.
"They're so good, here these are my favorites," Izuku pulled them up and handed over his phone.
Shoto returned and handed Izuku a bottle of water as he took a seat and grabbed the remote, "What are you two doing?"
"I'm showing him some of the pictures," Izuku opened his water.
"What do you think?" Izuku asked.
"Damn these look good, when is everything getting released? My girls a big fan of yours, her birthday is coming up and I want to get her your perfumes," Natsuo asked as he looked through the pictures.
"Oh wow really?" Izuku smiled.
"Yeah, I just found out today actually, she asked if I was free this weekend, and I told her I was going to your return show. She lost her shit since she tried to get tickets but it was sold out, I gave her my extra backstage pass. I hope you don't mind," Natsuo handed Izuku's phone back.
"Not at all, the official release date is the day after the concert but I can give it to you at the concert venue. I'll even sign it for her," Izuku offered.
"You'd really do that?" Natsuo was in awe.
"Of course, you're family,"
"That's why you're my favorite-"
"I'm right here," Shoto said dryly.
"-How much do I owe you?" Natsuo asked.
"You know you don't have to pay me," Izuku told him.
"Y-"
"Hey, Natsuo you ready?"
They looked up to see Enji walking into the lounge, "Hey pops," Izuku waved.
Enji smiled and ruffled Izuku's hair as he walked past the couch, "I didn't know I adopted another kid,"
"Another?" Shoto raised a brow.
Natsuo patted his back as he walked past, "Oh you don't know?" he said with a sympathetic look.
"Both of you get on my nerves," Shoto grumbled making them laugh.
Izuku leaned over the couch, "Where are you two going?"
"A business partner of mine gave me baseball tickets, I have a third if you want to come with," Enji offered.
"Nah I'm not a baseball fan, have fun and drive safe!" Izuku waved.
"We will,"
"See you later,"
Izuku plopped back in his seat as his phone dinged, he pulled it out to see Natsuo cointossed him two hundred dollars anyway and shook his head.
(Knock off cash app, I'm back on my bullshit😌)
Izuku pocketed his phone, "I kinda want a drink now,"
"The bar just got restocked," Shoto chugged his water down.
"Really? Let's go," Izuku excitedly got up.
Shoto followed after him, "Your feet still hurt?"
"A little but it's bearable thanks to Nacchan," Izuku made his way to the bar past the kitchen.
"What's on your agenda for tomorrow?" Shoto asked moving around the bar.
Izuku got up on the bar stool, "I have rehearsals for the concert and more bodyguard interviews- oh wait didn't you say you knew somebody?" He remembered.
"Oh yeah," Shoto sat a glass in front of Izuku and poured the drink he just mixed "Do you remember my brother I told you about, Touya?"
"Yeah, he's in jail right?" Izuku frowned a little.
Izuku and Shoto have been best friends ever since high school and Izuku was close to the entire family but he didn't know Touya. He was Shoto's eldest brother but he got arrested about a year before they started high school so Izuku never met him. The family hardly ever talks about him and Izuku figured it was a touchy subject so he never asked. Shoto had told him what happened though, Fuyumi's boyfriend had been getting violent but the family never knew. One day things escalated and he physically attacked her when Touya happened to come home early and saw it. He beat the man so badly that he ended up in a coma and nearly past away. Due to that Touya was unfortunately arrested and sent to jail for it. Izuku remembered being upset since he though it was bullshit for the male to be locked up for so long.
"He actually got released a while ago but hasn't been able to find work because of his record," Shoto informed him.
"Wait what? He got released and you didn't tell me?" Izuku glared.
Shoto shrugged, "Didn't think it was important, anyway I think he'll be a good fit. I think it's better than having a complete stranger taking care of you,"
"You do know he is a complete stranger to me right?" Izuku said blankly.
"Yeah, but he isn't a bad person, I know he'll look out for you. Not gonna lie we told him a lot about you during our visits, he probably knows more about you than you know about yourself," Shoto chuckled.
"Awe you guys talk about me, alright I'll talk to him at the very least," Izuku agreed.
"Alright," Shoto pulled out his phone.
A few minutes later someone came down the stairs and made their way to the bar area, "Why'd you text me when we're in the same house dumbass," a deep husky voice grunted.
"I wasn't about to walk all the way up there," Shoto sipped his drink.
Izuku looked up and damn near choked on his drink as his eyes raked over the large man. He was about six-eight and very muscular with tattoos going all the way up to his bottom lip. He had several piercings, dark black hair, and piercing turquoise eyes that screamed danger but Izuku would be lying if he said he wasn't into that. He could just imagine the ways the man could manhandle him with those massive hands. One tightly around his throat and the other gripping his thigh as he-
Izuku bit down on a manicured nail with a grin, "He'll be perfect,"
