A/N: I have this headcanon that Crimson Riot and Fatgum are friends

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been almost two weeks since the next time you see Touya. You were sitting at the cat cafe this time by yourself while Crimson Riot was outside. He wasn't a fan of cats but, didn't decline you going inside choosing to watch the front instead. You were playing with a Calico and eating a sandwich when you heard the bell ring and the soft pitter-patter of feet coming towards you. You looked up and saw it was Touya who looked the same as the first time you met him. This time he had shoes and wore a black t-shirt with long black pants but, you can still see the bandages covering his neck and arms. You silently beckoned him over and he very hesitantly sat across from you on the edge as if ready to bolt at any second. You said nothing not wanting to make him uncomfortable as it is. You had an extra plate of food and slid it over to him. It had two fried eggs, sausage links, and toast. He looked between you and the food for a few minutes not saying anything and, you didn't stare at him. He was already skittish and you didn't want to accidentally set him off

"Why..." You glanced up at him seeing he was staring at you.

"Well...You look hungry so I thought why not? If you're not hungry then that's fine too." You smiled at him encouragingly and, after a few minutes before getting comfortable he scarfed the food down as if someone was going to take it from him. Probably was taken from him or forced to bring it back up. "Here. Drink water to wash it down." You pushed an untouched glass of water towards him that he took from you and guzzled down before finishing the rest of his breakfast at a much slower pace. You had your coffee in peace as you scrolled through social media. No need to look at him and make him uncomfortable.

"Thank you." You looked up at him giving him a smile before piling the dishes on top of each other for the waitress to come to get them.

"It's no problem love. You can stay or leave if you want. It doesn't bother me." You both stared at each other gouging each other's reactions. He looked as if he was going to say something before three cats came to lay on him purring the entire time. "They like you." He didn't look at you as he hesitantly rubbed them before making a soft 'ah' sound and playing with their fur more insistently.

"So soft." You smiled at the boy who got lost playing with the cats. You had the same mom with her kittens come to you so you enjoyed yourself too. It was 20 minutes when you remembered you had a hero waiting for you outside.

"Oh! I forgot Crimson Riot was waiting for me! Shoot." You kissed the cats goodbye before moving with your wheelchair. You were doing good but, you fell down the stairs and now your stupid self is back to square 1. "I'm going to have to go I have Crimson Riot outside waiting for me. Is it okay if I can see you again next week? Or whenever you want or can?" You didn't mean to overwhelm him but, you did have to go. He nodded putting the cats down. "Great, see you love." Without thinking you reached up to smooth his hair down before rolling yourself out. You left first thanking Crimson for being such a patient man and giving him some sweet buns as a treat. He thanked you as you rolled away with him beside you. You chanced a look back and saw Touya looking around before running down the same alley he ran down two weeks ago.

"That kid you were talking to..." You looked up to see he was still walking ahead.

"He's going to be just fine. I will make sure of it." You didn't want to give too much detail. You were pretty sure that if you were a hero then he wouldn't have trusted you with a 10-foot pole. His damn father ruined that for him. How can you kick a pro's ass? Hmmm. There are going to be decisions and sacrifices you were going to make.

"He looks like he needs help but, is too stubborn to ask. It's good that he seems to at least give you a chance." You looked up at Crimson finding it weird that he didn't say chivalrous spirit or something along those lines. He's still in his hero costume

"I'm glad too...It's weird you didn't mention chivalry or chivalrous spirit considering you're in public in your hero costume." That stunned him and he almost tripped on air. He saved himself and coughed into his fist alternating between looking at you and in front of him.

"How...Uh? I'm lost." You giggled at having stunned him into speechlessness. It was a nice reminder of your point that heroes are humans with real emotions and feelings.

"Well, your hero persona is always going to be different from your real persona. Maybe it may mix but, neither is entirely the same. I know you believe in chivalry and that's admirable but, I doubt very seriously you enjoy saying it all the time especially when you're not feeling your best. This is all speculation." The man actually stopped in his tracks forcing you to stop as well. The streets were mostly deserted considering it was a Tuesday morning and everyone was either home, at work, or at school. He turned to stare at you like really stare at you. You looked up and saw how red his eyes actually were. They were always overshadowed like All Might but, his eyes were really bright. They were a fiery red instead of muted. It was nice.

"You're more observant than I first thought." You simply smiled getting ready to continue rolling.

"Well can't judge a book by its cover." He made a sound before walking to catch up with you. It was silent for a while until you got to the 'drop off'. "Who's going to get me you think?" He looked down at you before looking in the distance.

"Fatgum. We both frequent Osaka since we are both from here." You looked up at him surprised he shared that bit of information with you.

"So, does that mean I can see you again? I know you're busy but, it would be nice." It seemed that crimsonriot.exe has crashed but, he got his bearings.

"Yes, I'll request to escort you again. If you're in the area I'll be around." He didn't give you a chance to respond as a booming voice echoed.

"AYO CRIMSON!" You turned to see a very happy Fatgum eating Takoyaki. Maybe if you ask politely...? "It's nice to see ya! Don't be a stranger alright? See ya around!" You turned to smile at Crimson who simply nodded before disappearing down a side street. "You must be L/N! It's a pleasure to meet ya! I'm the BMI Hero: Fatgum!" He did a silly pose that had you in pieces. Okay, he is both really chunky and funny.

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. It would have been nice to meet you willingly though." You just looked at him waiting for him to understand the implications.

"There is nothing to worry about darlin'! As a hero and a decent human being, I wanted to help. Besides the chief of police gave all heroes the option to decline. I chose to accept because I wanted to so no need to worry your little head alrigh'? Just focus on getting better!" He had a point so you simply smiled again and rolled right beside him. He greeted those that recognized him and, thanked restaurant owners who gave him more Takoyaki.

"They really like you here." Honestly, you can tell by his disposition that he wasn't a phony hero. He was genuine and loved to eat and see people smile. It was cute.

"Yeah! I always go to their restaurants and eat, ya know? It's good for business and for my tummy too!" He munched on a Takoyaki humming thoughtfully. He glanced down at you and gave you a tray of Takoyaki. "Ya want some?" You were surprised that he offered you some but, took it nevertheless.

"Thanks, Fat." You took one bite and the flavor exploded on your taste buds. The taste combined with your hunger had you inhaling them in no time "These are really good."

"Oo! I love someone with an appetite! Please don't choke though." He quickly handed you some water to wash it down with and, you thanked him again. The guy really was a sweetheart. "So tell me about yourself. Where do you work at? What do you like to do?" You mulled it over a bit before answering

"Well, I make comics and animations. I also have a part-time job at a local grocery store where I live." You began to talk lightly about your work showing him as he talked about his patrols and hate for paperwork. You're pretty sure that every pro hero can relate to hating paperwork. "What time does your patrol end?"

"In about an hour. You're ready to head home love? You look a bit tired." You didn't want to admit but, you were exhausted. You smiled sheepishly nodding an affirmative. "Don't decline it, I'm going to roll you back okay? You're staying not far from here right." He started pushing you as he was talking.

"Oh, I hope I'm not being a bother. You live far from here right? Like 90 minutes away." He waved off your worries.

"Nonsense, me and Crimson take the train back together since we live in the same building." That's nice that he has someone. You didn't try to stop him anymore as the conversation turned friendly. You didn't even notice you were home until he said something. You turned to him to thank him

"I enjoyed. today, I hope to see you again Fatgum." You were about to roll inside when he put his hand on your shoulder to grab your attention.

"I may be overstepping boundaries by doing this but, I was wondering if I can have your number? You know just in case you want to chat or we can go out for snacks-man I'm too forward-" You cut off his ramblings by handing over your phone open on contacts.

"Put your number in." He blinked not believing it but he grabbed the phone quickly putting his number in and handing the phone back over to you. "Thanks love." You sent the new contact a quick text hearing it vibrates in his pants. "Now you got mine. I'll see you around Fat. Get home safe." He stood there for a minute before snapping out of it and waving goodbye to you as you made your way inside. You said hello to the front desk and took the elevator to the eleventh floor. Once off the elevator, you rolled to your apartment opened it, and inhaled the fresh smell of flowers and the ocean. It was nice to finally be home.
