You hugged him tighter, overwhelmed with relief.
“What made you think I was going to break up with you?” Deku suddenly asked, pulling back from the hug so that he could look at you with those beautiful emerald eyes.
“Well, I… I was at the cafe and there was a girl talking to her friend about how her boyfriend had started to act strange just before he broke up with her and—,”
“—and you thought all of my weird behavior meant I was going to do the same to you,” Deku gasped, suddenly seeing it from your perspective, “oh, Y/N, I’m so so sorry. I was just trying to get help from my friends to ask for your hand in marriage but none of their advice worked.”
He hung his head with disappointment and you reached out and cupped his cheeks in your hand, tilting his cute freckled face up so that you could look him in the eye.
“You don’t need to try and be anyone else. You just need to be you,” you said softly before leaning in and pressing your lips to his.
He gratefully returned the kiss and his eyelids fluttered closed as he enjoyed the feeling of your mouth on his.
“So… when should we make the wedding?” you asked as you pulled back from his kiss.
“Y/N, I… I don’t want to wait any longer. I just want us to be married already,” he said, the flustered urgency in his voice making him sound really cute.
“Then what are we waiting for?” you asked with a shrug, “let’s get married in 3 weeks.”
“3 weeks?!”
“Yeah!”
“Is that enough time to organize everything?!”
“Yes!”
“Umm, ok… well then… let’s do it! Plus Ultra!” he said excitedly, raising his right fist into the air and grinning brightly at you.
You squealed with excitement and grabbed him around the middle, jumping up and down and shaking him with your excitement.
“Ok! I’ll start calling around and organizing things,” you said, letting him go quickly and running for your phone that was charging.
“I’ll… cancel appointment 3 weeks out. Oh wait, Y/N!” he shouted in the direction you had disappeared, “we need to make a news announcement!”
“Oh! True!” you shouted from the room, “ok! You pick the announcement time and I’ll be there!”
“Ok. Let me just ring the receptionist,” he mumbled, muttering other things under his breath as he pressed the phone to his ear, waiting for her to pick up.
“Tell her I want her as my maid of honour!” you called out to him.
“Ok!” he called back, getting his word out a split second before she picked up, “oh hello Mrs L, I uh… I have some news…”
There was silence from Deku then suddenly he spoke.
“How did you know?!” You heard him ask the receptionist and you giggled as you walked back put into the hallway to where he was standing.
“She knew?” you whispered to him and he nodded, still with phone pressed to his ear.
“Umm, well, would you be able to arrange a press release for tomorrow so we can make the engagement announcement?”
Another pause and he smiled.
“Thank you. Yes. Oh, and Y/N wants you as her maid of honour…” He looked at you and grinned. “Yes. I’ll tell her,” he added as he bent his head down and baby kissed the tip of your nose.
You smiled from ear to ear then quickly dialed your mum and pressed the phone to your ear, backing back and signaling to Deku that you would talk in the other room- to which he nodded.
That night was a flurry of phone calls as people slowly started to hear about the good news and by 11pm you and Deku were both exhausted.
“I swear… if someone else calls or texts me I’ll—.” Your exclamation was interrupted by another congratulatory text and you looked at it before putting your phone down. “I’m done. That’s it. Goodnight. No more texts!”
Deku smiled and reached out to drag you into his lap as you sat on the couch together.
“They’re just happy for us,” he said as he buried his face into the top of your head and kissed you, “I am very excited to make us a married couple.”
“Where are we going to honeymoon?” you asked suddenly.
“Where would you like to go?” he queried, “I don’t mind where we go as long as I’m with you.”
“Let’s do an island holiday. Something far away from everyone,” you said dreamily.
“Ok. Let me talk to Todoroki. He might know someone who could let us stay on their private island… or maybe he has a private island. He comes from a very long line of wealthy heroes.”
You snuggled into him more.
“Oh to have 2 weeks of bliss! Just us… alone… on an island,” you said, your voice dropping into a more seductive register as you turned your head towards him and ran your finger up the front of his shirt, up to his chin while your gaze followed.
Deku blushed as his mind pulled up images of you riding him on an exotic island somewhere and he swallowed thickly.
“T-That s-s-sounds n-nice,” he stammered, trying desperately to keep his cool.
“Mmhmm,” you hummed, shifting in his lap and leaning up so that you could kiss his lips.
Tenderly your lips pressed to his and a gentle, passionate kiss ensued.
As you got more into it you twisted in his lap and straddled his thick thighs, taking his hands and placing them on your waist as you started to rock a little on him.
Deku inhaled sharply as your front came in contact with the large bulge that had suddenly popped up in his pants, and you moaned a little in his mouth to let him know you had felt it and liked it.
“Want to take this to the bedroom?” you whispered against his lips, continuing to kiss him intermittently.
“I-I really want to but it’s past midnight and we have a big news conference tomorrow,” he stammered regretfully.
“True!” you suddenly gasped, “I’d prefer not to look like death tomorrow when everyone is asking questions.”
“Let’s snuggle though,” Deku said as he scooped an arm around your back and stood up, easily holding your body against his front as he turned and walked out of the lounge room and off down the hall to the bedroom.
“Yaaay! Snuggles!” you squealed with excitement, clinging to his front as he carried you into the room and lay you down on the bed gently before crawling over you and snuggling into you on the other side.
