Absolutely breathtaking commission from @kurumi-igarashi, depicting the moment Katsuki proposes to Kansa. She really out did herself on this one, I’ve been speechless over it for days. Short fic to follow.
Dynamite proposes to Persuasion.
950 words
Kansatoki and Katsuki walked down the busy sidewalk patrolling for anything of interest. It was rare for the two to patrol together as Katsuki preferred one of them to be at the agency at any given time.
Pedestrians nodded at the heroes as they passed. The occasional fanboy stopped to ask Persuasion for a picture while nervously navigating around the intimidating Dynamite.
"Thank you!" The fanboy smiled at Persuasion placing his phone back in his pocket, hands shaking he took off quickly down the street as soon as his gaze caught Dynamite's intense glare.
"Can we get back to it then?" Katsuki huffed, rolling his eyes and continuing to walk down the street.
Kansatoki followed his lead, an amused smile at his unspoken jealousy. "Hey, I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Is it about how annoying your fans are? Because I agree," Katsuki stated.
"No, it's about Yume and Eijiro."
"What about 'em?" He asked.
"Did they seem to be acting strange to you?" Kansatoki asked
"Nah," Katsuki said dismissing her concerns swiftly, but Kansatoki continued to make her point.
"Today Yume would barely say two words to me. Usually, she won't give me a moment alone, and the same with Eijiro. As soon as he saw me, he took off to his office."
"So? Sounds like there being good employees and it's about damn time. Plus, they were both out sick the last two days so- probably just recovering still," Katsuki replied.
"That's the thing though! I facetimed Yume when they were out sick to check in and she was out shopping at the mall with Eijiro!"
"HAH! Are you snitching on your best friend to the boss? It's not my damn business how they use their sick days." Katsuki responded.
"Yume never lies to me though! If she wasn't sick but needed the day off, she would have told me that," Kansatoki said, frustration rising.
The past few weeks Kansatoki could feel a change in Katsuki's emotions. He was more on edge and nervous than she had ever felt him before. Whenever she asked, he used the excuse that it was stress from hero work and running the agency.
Last week Katsuki went out for drinks with Eijiro while Kansatoki and Yume had a girl's night. Yume agreed with Kansatoki that something seemed off with Katsuki. Things escalated when the two boys called the girls to pick them up after getting completely shit-faced at the bar.
A normal occurrence for two best friends except Katsuki never gets drunk. Ever since that night, Yume started passing off the same excuse; Katsuki was just overwhelmed with hero work and running the agency.
The three of them were hiding something from her and she was going to find out what.
What Kansatoki didn't know is that night the boys when out for drinks, was also the night Katsuki had bought an engagement ring. His nerves were the result of him having absolutely no clue how to propose. Letting his anxiety get the best of him, he got drunk with Eijiro. Leaving the girls to drive down and bring them home in Yume's car.
To make matters worse, Katsuki's drunk ass dropped the ring.
Finding it in her car the next day, Yume exploded with excitement. Knowing she wouldn't be able to keep it a secret, Katsuki forced her and Eijiro to take a few "sick" days while she got her emotions under control.
"You're overthinking things," Katsuki said in a desperate attempt to end the conversation. Kansatoki was smart, and her quirk left little room to keep secrets from her. He knew any day she'd discover the truth.
As if answering his plea, a call came through the communicator:
Requesting hero backup at Kappabashi Steet. Villains attempting to make an escape.
"Let's go," Katsuki motioned for Kansatoki to get on his back.
Sighing at the interruption she got on, with a few explosions they were at the rooftop where the villains were attempting their getaway.
The two of them instantly got to work. Wrapping her whip around one, Persuasion brough a villain to the floor, slapping her hand across his face he fell into a deep sleep induced by her quirk.
A helicopter hummed int the background as it filmed the heroes for breaking news.
Dynamite let out explosions aimed at the other two, causing large debris to go flying Persuasions way.
Dodging it easily she turned to Dynamite in disbelief, that wasn't a mistake he's made since UA. He specially trained for his explosions to be contained and not a danger to the heroes working beside him. Whatever secret he was keeping was now affecting his hero work.
"The fuck?" She called out to him.
"Shit- you good?" He asked.
"No! I'm not! I'm tired of you hiding shit from me! Just tell me what the hell has been going on with you!" Kansatoki snapped finally reaching her breaking point.
Katsuki and their friends acting strange was one thing, but being so distracted he was making mistakes in his hero work was a whole other beast. Katsuki doesn't put anything above his hero work, so what secret could be so impactful? Kansatoki couldn't bear the growing concern she had for him any longer.
Katsuki grunted as he ran both hands over his face, reaching his own limit. "Fuck fine! You really want to know!?" He snapped back. The helicopter hummed in the background filming the hero's couple's spat on a live broadcast.
"Oh! So, there is a secret?! Of course, I'm right," Kansatoki yelled. Wind flowed through her hair, emerald eyes sparkling in the setting sun.
"I've been trying to figure out how to ask your dumb ass to marry me!" He yelled.
Kansatoki froze, processing what Katsuki had just said.
Did she hear that right?
Katsuki let out a sigh, "Fuck it," he said getting down on one knee. "Marry me?"
The live broadcast and headline "Dynamite proposes to Persuasion!" lit up around news outlets.
