BNHA: Singularity

After getting a bite to eat at a restaurant close to the Waldorf Astoria, Izuku and Luna hit up the largest mall in New York, a truly monstrous monument to capitalism known as the World Central Mall.
While the rest of the world was in a state of crisis, most Americans didn't even consider the Meta World Transversal phenomenon a serious threat. For them, it was someone else's problem, an event that would have been utterly unrelated to them if not for the fact it pumped up the cost of food, energy, and imported electronics.
"This place is packed..." remarked Izuku, genuinely awed by how many people were moving about the seven-story, 5.2 million square foot, 1373-store mall.
"Of course it is~!" exclaimed Luna. "People come from all over the world to visit the World Central Mall. It's a major tourist attraction."
"I can see that..." remarked Izuku, his eyes feeling a little dry and fatigued from inspecting too many people. He wasn't particularly curious about the mass of people walking around, but there were a ton of costumed Heroes within the mall, some on patrol and others taking a break.
Seeing Izuku massage his eyes, Luna asked, "You good, cump&agrave;? Not used to being around a lot of people?"
Shaking his head, Izuku replied, "Japan is still rebuilding its population in the wake of the Quirk Wars. It gets crowded in the metropolitan areas, but never quite like this."
"There's a park and greenhouse center on the top floor," said Luna. "Want to check it out?"
"I'm not really tired," replied Izuku. "Let's just go where you want to go. I should be fine once we get into an actual store."
"Eh, I'm fine with heading back to the car," said Luna. "I'm saving up to move into a new apartment once I graduate, so I didn't come here to do any shopping. Take enough business and finance courses, and you learn quickly that purchasing things in-store is pretty wasteful."
"What if I offered to pay for everything?" asked Izuku, adopting a faint, fearless smile.
Narrowing her eyes, Luna replied, "My mamma and babbo didn't raise me to be dependent on others. If you want to spend money on me, that's on you, cump&agrave;. I'm just here to have fun."
"Then let's find something out for your parents," replied Izuku, adding, "And anyone else you happen to be close to. I imagine you have a pretty big family."
"Six brothers and eight sisters," replied Luna. "I'm the third oldest, but I have twin sisters named Loona and Neve."
Blinking in surprise, Izuku asked, "You're a triplet?"
"Technically," replied Luna, scratching her cheek as she clarified, "It's common for the girls in my family to have 2-3 kids at a time. I was born alongside my two sisters, but we look nothing alike. Loona has grey fur like my babbo, and Neve's is pure white."
"Ah..."
"Disappointed?" asked Luna, giving Izuku a playful punch in her arm as she teased, "Don't be greedy. You don't even know if you can handle one De Luca girl. If we all sank our teeth into you, there wouldn't be any meat left on your bone."
Though he was tempted to ask if she was speaking from experience, Izuku guided the conversation to the original topic, asking, "So, where to? Want to pick your mom out a necklace or something?"
"Sure, but it shouldn't be too pricy," replied Luna. "If I return with a bunch of expensive presents and jewelry, my parents might think you're trying to buy their favor. I won't get into the reasons why, but things might become difficult for you if that happens. Let's just say my 'extended family' doesn't mesh well with Heroic types..."
Pretending he had no idea what Luna was referring to, Izuku maintained a relaxed smile as he teased, "You'll be the one choosing the gifts, so it's on you if there are any misunderstandings. I'm just doing what I can to make this a day to remember."
Adopting a narrow-eyed smile, Luna grabbed Izuku's arm, musing, "Sure. And, in exchange, I'll give you a night you won't forget..." before licking his cheek...
...
..
.
As the more expensive, name-brand stores were located on the upper levels, Izuku and Luna made their way up to the sixth floor of the mall, passing through a series of scanners as they went.
Assuming that Izuku didn't know what the scanners were for, Luna explained, "America uses a Social Credit System where your ID is linked to your bank account, digital profile, and other personal information. If you have a dangerous Quirk, a criminal record, or carry an unregistered weapon or support tool, the elevator will stall until people from the Public Security Bureau show up to chaperone you."
As if in response to Luna's words, the elevator abruptly came to a stop, followed by the lights dimming a digital strip around the roof displaying the words: For your safety and well-being, please remain calm and follow the instructions of the Public Security Bureau. Thank you.
Raising her brows, Luna looked to Izuku and asked, "Are you carrying? Or is your Quirk something dangerous...?"
Adopting an awkward smile, Izuku rubbed the back of his head as he revealed, "I'm wearing my Hero Costume and a few unregistered support items..."
"Ma dai..." muttered Luna, smacking her forehead. She knew that Izuku was a Hero. At the very least, she believed him when he told her he was one. However, if it turned out he didn't have a license or a permit to carry and operate the support tools he was wearing, things would become very troublesome very quickly.
"Relax. It won't be an issue," asserted Izuku, adopting a calm and relaxed demeanor. Sure, most of his support items weren't registered, but Melissa had filed the necessary patents through a subordinate company of Shield Labs. His name was on the registry of Heroes authorized to field test their equipment, and according to Nezu, he had limited immunity and approval from the Governor to act as a Hero within the Manhattan city limits.
Seeing Izuku's confidence, Luna narrowed her eyes and mused, "Okay, Mr. Bigshot. But if we get arrested, you get to explain to my babbo how his baby girl ended up in a holding cell."
"Sure thing," replied Izuku, maintaining his composure as the message system informed them a representative from the Public Security Bureau had arrived and to take a step back. The standard procedure was to turn around and place their hands against the wall, so Luna's brows perked up quite a bit when the doors parted, revealing a bespectacled woman in a power suit and an incredibly athletic-looking man with a Hero Costume consisting of a black bodysuit with a yellow arrow pattern adorning his broad chest, back, shoulders, and legs.
Recognizing the man immediately, Luna's eyes widened as she muttered, "Vector Hero, Force Maxim..."

Contrasting Luna's worry, Izuku thought ("Weak...") even though Force Maxim's Quirk was fairly useful, allowing him to arrest the momentum of objects with his hands and feet and use it to empower his strikes. The caveat was that he couldn't absorb and discharge energy at the same time, so if he were forced to endure a continuous assault, his body would rapidly heat up.

------------------------
("This one is a lot more dangerous...") thought Izuku. Pathokinesis was the ability to read and manipulate emotions, so it could be a powerful tool for both good and evil, allowing the user to pacify and rile people up with a touch.
Wearing a professional, business-like smile, the bespectacled, intelligent-looking brunette said, "Please, be at ease. Neither of you is in any kind of trouble. Rather, when our scanners identified you, my Supervisor couldn't believe you were walking around without an escort."
Directing her gaze at Izuku, the brunette, Amanda, adopted a 'troubled' smile as she added, "The PSB would be in quite the pickle if something were to happen to you on our watch."
Furrowing his brows, Izuku pointed out, "We'd draw more attention with you chauffering us around. Also, if you're aware of my identity, you know I'm more than capable of protecting myself. Tell your Supervisor that their 'concern' is unwarranted and, more importantly, unwanted."
Maintaining her smile, Amanda shifted her attention to Luna as she stated, "We would comply under ordinary circumstances, but the identity of your companion makes things difficult. She may not have a criminal record, but she is a known associate-"
Raising his hand, Izuku said, "I'm going to have to stop you right there. Get your Supervisor on the phone or bring them over to me. While you do, I'll be placing a call to the Governor..."
Losing a bit of her 'friendliness,' Amanda's smile cramped as she said, "I don't believe it's necessary to get the Governor involved. We just want to ensure-"
"Enough," said Izuku, exuding an invisible pressure that caused Force Maxim to step forward, hands raised in a placating gesture as he said, "Whoa, now. Let's not do anything rash, okay, kiddo? No need to make a scene."
"You're absolutely right," said Izuku. "Yet, here you are, making a scene over nothing."
Pulling out his cell phone, Izuku was prepared to dial up Nezu when Luna abruptly hugged his arm, whispering, "Let's just get out of here. There are plenty of jewelry and clothing stores elsewhere. We don't need to waste our time with these stronzos(assholes)..."
Though he felt obligated to pursue the matter, Izuku didn't want to put Luna on the spot. Thus, after a moment of deliberation and a judgmental glower at the duo of Amanda and Force Maxim, Izuku turned to Luna and replied, "If that's what you want, that's what we'll do..."
With Luna nodding her head, Izuku directed his gaze back to Amanda, regaining his glower as he asked, "You don't have a problem with that, do you?"
"Of course not," replied Amanda, forcing a smile despite cursing her Supervisor in her mind. She could tell at a glance that Izuku wouldn't let this matter go, so she was almost guaranteed to be thrown under the bus, even though she had only been following orders...
...
..
.
With Amanda and Force Maxim allowing them to go, Izuku and Luna rode the elevator down to the first floor, departing the mall and returning to the car. Luna had a conflicted look the entire way, but before she could find the words to apologize, Izuku surprised her by saying, "I'm sorry you had to go through that..."
Recovering from a momentary daze, Luna adopted a sad smile, shaking her head as she said, "It's fine. I've experienced much worse. Besides, I appreciate how you stood up for me..."
Shifting her gaze to Izuku, Luna's smile regained its vigor as she mused, "That chick with the glasses totally pissed herself when you flared up at her. I almost feel sorry for her."
Shaking his head, Izuku grimaced as he said, "You shouldn't. Anyone that can look at another person like that is undeserving of sympathy..."
Shrugging her shoulders, Luna casually remarked, "Not everyone sees us as 'people.' I think that's what initially drew me to you. You may have had a perverted glimmer in your eyes, but you're not like those furry nutjobs or the perverts that pick up prostitutes near the Zoo..."
Leaning toward Izuku, Luna closed her eyes and gave him a sniff, adding, "You also smell really good. If I didn't know better, I would think you were wearing a pheromone spray to try and trigger me..."
Attempting to lighten the mood even further, Izuku joked, "Nope. This is my natural musk. Pretty manly, isn't it?"
"It smells kind of sweet," replied Luna, drawing even closer to Izuku so she could sniff him more 'intently.' It was a little awkward, and her nose was cold, but Izuku didn't mind it until she started to lick the underside of his ear.
"Luna...?" called out Izuku, his voice carrying an awkward undertone and a wry smile developing across his face.
Pulling away momentarily, Luna asked, "Do you not like me licking you? I don't really 'do' kissing..."
Shaking his head, Izuku replied, "It's fine. You just caught me a little off guard, that's all..."
"Then can I continue?" asked Luna, her golden eyes glistening hungrily in the low light of the car's interior. When Izuku eventually nodded his head, she resumed licking him earnestly, her surprisingly long and rough tongue lapping up the remnants of his dried sweat as she gradually shifted to his side of the car...
...
..
.
(A/N: There's a special place in Hell for bigots (U ^ U)...)

Though it was a little awkward, Izuku enjoyed the experience of Luna lapping up his sweat as she sat atop his lap, willfully grinding her crotch against his bulge. Unfortunately, just a few minutes into their impromptu 'makeout' session, a loud knock emanated from the driver's side window, the result of someone trying to break into their car.
"Seriously..." groaned Izuku, prompting Luna to exhale a soft but throaty chuckle, licking his chick one final time before remarking, "I told you we should have parked in a closed security lot..."
As Luna moved back to her seat, Izuku pressed the button that caused the window's tint to fade, revealing a trio of relatively young-look people with custom balaclavas to match the contours of their faces.
Not expecting anyone to be in the car they were trying to break into, the trio immediately bolted in different directions. One even leaped high into the sky, bounding several tens of meters before spreading his arms like a flying squirrel to glide away.
Deterring Izuku from giving chase, Luna remarked, "Madai...at this point, I'm starting to think it would be best if we just got a hotel to relax. I have an Amazon Flix account, so we can just stream an already-released movie if you'd like..."
Returning his gaze to Luna, Izuku asked, "What about buying presents...?"
Narrowing her eyes slightly, Luna practically purred, "You're not very good at reading between the lines, cumpa..."
"Ah..."
Seeing Luna shift in her seat, staring at him unblinkingly with her luminous golden eyes, a wry smile developed across Izuku's face. She was clearly very 'agitated,' but because of the attempted break-in, his excitement had transitioned to alertness.
Adopting a more relaxed posture, Izuku pointed out, "You're in the driver's seat. Wherever we end up, I'm sure I'll enjoy the ride..."
Narrowing her eyes further, Luna quickly keyed an address into the car's navigation panel before returning to Izuku's side of the vehicle. As much as she wanted to give the supercar a spin, she was too distracted to drive it personally. Thus, while the car smoothly and expertly navigated them to their destination, she instinctually covered every inch of Izuku's face and neck with her scent...
...
..
.
After leaving the rental in a high-security parking lot that stored vehicles deep underground using a special conveyor elevator, Izuku accompanied Luna to a small but expensive studio apartment whose main bedroom was barely 2.5x4m. The bed, located at the far end of the room, touched both walls, but even at a glance, it had a lot of 'character.' Framed vinyl records lined both walls, and there were signed photos of famous jazz musicians and rock bands from over a hundred years prior.
Before Izuku could comment on the framed records, Luna slipped past him to grab an open, nearly full laundry hamper, placing it inside a small closet before turning to face him with an awkward smile as she said, "It's probably not as fancy as the hotels and rooms you're used to, but this is my home away from home. Sorry if it smells a little funky..."
Though he couldn't tell if she was blushing, Izuku imagined Luna's cheeks glowing crimson as he inhaled a deep breath through his nose. A fairly prominent fragrance lingered in the air, but rather than smelling like a wet canine or something foul, it was similar to roasted chestnuts mixed with a deep, feminine aroma.
"It's not a bad smell..." remarked Izuku, prompting Luna to exhale a sigh of relief before crossing her arms to stare at him with a playfully pointed look as she muttered, "You really know how to put a girl on edge..."
Without waiting for Izuku's response, Luna uncrossed her arms and approached him, fearlessly unbuttoning the buttons of his dress shirt to reveal part of his Hero costume as she narrowed her eyes and muttered, "You know...green is one of my favorite colors..."
"That would explain a lot..." replied Izuku, surprising Luna as he casually reached behind her and moved his hand along the underside of her soft, fluffy tail. He couldn't imagine how much shampoo and conditioner she went through, but she clearly cared for the quality of her fur...
Leaning into Izuku, Luna wrapped her arms around his body and snapped her teeth playfully, remarking, "I didn't bring you here to pet me and fluff up my tail..."
Moving away from Izuku, Luna grabbed his wrists and pulled him toward her bed, releasing him at the last moment to fall backward onto its pillowy surface. Then, with her tail curled up between her legs, the tip extending to cover the lower half of her face, she ran her hands along its surface and mused, "Though I can understand why you'd want to..."
"So, I take it we're skipping the movie...?" asked Izuku, unfastening the final few buttons of his dress shirt while Luna observed him with a hungry glimmer in her eyes.
While continuing to caress her tail, Luna responded, "I'm too riled up right now. Once I've calmed down, we can watch a movie, visit the park, or just take a nap..."
Seeing Izuku remove his shirt and discard the upper half of his green and black Hero costume, Luna's eyes widened. Many Heroes disguised their true physiques with muscle suits and padding. She could tell Izuku was in great shape, but his clearly defined muscles caught her off guard, causing her heart to tense as her already heated breathing accelerated.
Saving Izuku the effort, Luna kicked off her custom-made shoes and began to shimmy out of her pants as if they were stockings. Underneath, she had on a pair of pale-pink panties. However, unlike ordinary panties, they more closely resembled a pair of spats, covering part of her thighs and extending nearly to her navel to accommodate her tail.
Though things were going much faster than he anticipated, a smoldering grin developed across Izuku's face as he unfastened his belt, discarding it to the side. He was then going to remove his pants, but Luna preempted him by sitting up and saying, "Let me do it...!" while staring hungrily at his crotch.
Without waiting for permission, Luna unbuttoned Izuku's trousers before using her teeth to lower his zipper, turning her eyes up to meet his gaze as she did so. The thought of receiving a blowjob from a girl with a wolf's head and muzzle made Izuku a little uneasy, but that didn't stop him from smiling as he resisted the urge to extend his hand and caress Luna's head and ears.
Pulling down both layers of Izuku's trousers, as well as the boxer briefs underneath, Luna's eyes briefly widened before a broad smile developed across her face. She knew he was packing from the size of his bulge, but much like she was surprised by the definition of his muscles, Luna felt her throat and lower abdomen tense when she saw Izuku's dick directly.
Eliciting a soft chuckle from the silently observing Izuku, Luna began to affectionately caress his cock with her velvety soft hand as she playfully remarked, "I knew we had amazing compatibility..."
Without further remark, Luna used her long, flat, and somewhat rough tongue to lick Izuku from stem to tip. He expected her to take it into her mouth, but she only used her hands and tongue, caressing his shaft with her left hand while gazing up and him and stroking herself beneath the fabric of her panties.
Adopting a dauntless smile, Izuku raised his brows slightly, asking, "Need some help with that...?"
Exhaling a throaty chuckle, Luna remarked, "I certainly wouldn't mind, but you don't need to force yourself. Don't let it go to your head, but I've been good to go since we met up this morning..."
Punctuating her statement, Luna sat on her bed, leaning back slightly to remove her panties, unleashing a veritable explosion of pheromones and revealing her incredibly wet pussy. It was covered in a thin layer of white fur, much like her abdomen and inner thighs, but it wasn't all that different from any other girl Izuku had slept with. Fur aside, the only real difference was that her entire pubic mound had a faint pink coloration.
Leaning back onto her elbows, Luna pulled her feet onto the edge of her bed, spreading her legs as she asked, "Disappointed...?" while observing Izuku's reaction.
Raising his eyes to meet Luna's gaze, Izuku craned his right brow in mild incredulity as he asked, "Why would I be...?"
"Just asking," mused Luna, exhaling a light chuckle before abruptly rolling onto her stomach and raising her pert, fur-covered ass. Lying on her back wasn't very comfortable due to the pressure it placed on her tail, so while it was somewhat embarrassing, her go-to sex positions were lying on her side and doggy style.
Seeing Luna sway her ass and tail from side to side, Izuku slipped out of his pants and Hero costume, adding them to the rest of his clothes before positioning himself behind the alluring heteromorph, grasping her ass, and spreading the startlingly hot folds of her pussy with his thumbs. He was eager to stick his dick inside and experience its heat directly, but he had enough sense to ask, "Do you have a condom on you...?"
Glancing back at Izuku with amusement, Luna brushed his face with her tail as she answered, "This must be your first time having sex with a mammal-type Heteromorph. Cumming inside is the norm since it's the only way to alleviate the symptoms of our arousal. But don't worry. I'm not in season right now, so you couldn't knock me up, even if you wanted to."
Trusting that Luna knew more about her physiology than he did, Izuku placed his glans against her piping-hot entrance and sank his dick deep inside her steamy cavern. Entry was fairly easy, but the moment his dick pushed up against what he assumed to be her cervix, her tail abruptly straightened, and the fur across her body stood on end as the interior of her pussy clamped like a vice. Then, as if her interior folds had suddenly come to life, they began undulating, starting from the mouth of her pussy and running to her core as if trying to milk him.
Amused by Izuku's surprised reaction, a throaty chuckle emanated from Luna's throat as she swayed her ass from side to side, explaining, "Now you see why condoms are pointless. Even if you had one, it would come off. Then you'd have to spend several minutes trying to fish it out of me..."
Before Izuku could comment, Luna turned away from him, closing her eyes and resting her chin atop her crossed arms as she added, "You'll be able to move freely once you cum at least once. Feel free to rub my butt or play with my tail until then. Just be gentle..."
As if waiting for her to finish, the undulating suction of Luna's pussy became even more intense once she ceased her explanation. In reality, she was willfully accelerating the process, fearful that Izuku might not appreciate that her explanation had come 'after' they were effectively locked together.
Lucky for Luna, Izuku was a fairly accepting guy, so after recovering from his initial confusion, he adopted a wry smile, shrugged his shoulders, and began massaging her ass, prompting her tail to wag from side to side, brushing it against his face. Being unable to move was annoying, but the sensations emanating from Luna's pressure cooker of a pussy were new, unique, and pleasurable. She had also alleviated his concerns by stating that he would be able to move freely after blowing his first load, so, until then, Izuku decided to get his fill of Luna's fragrant and exceptionally soft tail...

(A/N: I'm not sure I'm 'back' to writing this series just yet, but I felt bad about leaving things where they were. I intend to release more chapters, but I'll likely be transitioning back to EPIC to complete it. Many people have been waiting for me to wrap up the final two arks, so I'll be posting chapters starting tomorrow or the day after.)

"Ever ridden one of these bad boys?" asked Luna, presumably talking about her bright red sports bike, but it was difficult to be sure as she was bent over slightly, staring back at him with narrowed eyes.
Shaking his head, Izuku replied, "No, but I've thought about getting one once I get my license."
Blinking in surprise, Luna rose to her full height and asked, "You don't have a license? I got my learner's permit when I was fourteen and my road license when I was sixteen."
"I never really needed one," replied Izuku. "Japan's public transit system is the best in the world, and if I need to, I can get around faster on foot than in a vehicle."
"Oh? Is your superpower speed-related?" asked Luna, perking up quite a bit as she added, "I'm pretty fast myself, you know? My tail helps me keep my balance, even if I lean reeeeeeally far forward."
As if to prove her point, Luna leaned over nearly ninety degrees, hands on her waist as she swayed her tail and hips from side to side.
"I can see that..." remarked Izuku, his eyes lowering to Luna's toned butt. She may have had the head of an anthropomorphic wolf, but the structure of her body was unmistakably human.
"Whatcha lookin' at~?" asked Luna, rising to her full height and turning to face Izuku with a lowered snout, upturned eyes, and a playful smile. She knew exactly where Izuku had been looking, but she was curious to hear what he had to say for himself.
Adopting a relaxed smile, Izuku smoothly replied, "I was thinking we need to get you out of those pants and into a dress."
Narrowing her eyes in amusement, Luna's smile broadened as she said, "My place isn't too far from here, but I don't have nothin' fancy like a proper dress. The poshest outfit I have is the one I wear for work, but that's uncomfortable like you wouldn't believe."
Stretching the fabric of her t-shirt, Luna added, "I prefer clothes that are comfortable and easy to move in. Even these pants. They might look like leather, but they're made from a faux, super-stretchy material."
"Then, after we finish breakfast, we'll go shopping," said Izuku. "I don't mind if you want to wear casual clothes, but we might be snubbed if we try to enter a fancy restaurant."
Though excited by the prospect of shopping, Luna crossed her arms, rolled her eyes, and said, "Story of my life, right there. Outside Piccola Italia and the Zoo, pelosa like me aren't wanted in fancy neighborhoods and restaurants."
Ignoring the metaphorical minefield that Luna had laid out for him, Izuku asked, "The Zoo?" in a confused tone. He had heard of Piccola Italia(Little Italy), but he had never heard of any places called the Zoo. Excluding the actual Zoo, of course.
"Eh, it's slang for the part of town where heteromorphs live," explained Luna, adding, "Be careful if you ever go through there. After being treated like animals for so long, some of the residents have given up trying to act human. They give the rest of us pelos a bad rap."
"I take it they're not fond of, what would you call us, naked apes?" asked Izuku.
"Ma dai!?" exclaimed Luna, clutching her stomach and exhaling an open-mouthed laugh before saying, "You're funny, cump&agrave;. And no, we don't call you naked apes. We call our allies cump&agrave;, meaning friend, and those who don't, gabba, meaning idiot. There are some less polite words, but I don't use them. At least not for you."
Punctuating her statement with a playful wink, Luna briefly turned around, grabbing her spare helmet and tossing it to Izuku as she asked, "Want to try steering, or are you okay riding pillion? You're a lot bigger than me, so it might be a little awkward."
Though he caught the helmet with ease, Izuku adopted a wry smile as he asked, "Wouldn't it be better to take a taxi? Especially if we're planning to go shopping."
"I'm a wolf, cump&agrave;. Unless you dial up a premium service, ain't no taxis stopping to pick me up," said Luna.
"Then let's rent a car," suggested Izuku. "I'm sure a hotel like the Waldorf Astoria has rental services."
"Oh, totally," replied Luna, pointing to an area of the underground parking lot where several luxury and sports cars were located. "But they're really expensive, like $4000 a day. There's also a $5-10,000 security deposit, so it would be a lot cheaper to rent someplace else."
Though he was tempted to flex his wealth, Izuku responded with a curt, "Give me a moment," before turning away, pulling out his cell phone, and texting Nezu. He was pretty sure their VVIP service package included a chauffeur and even a security detail, so he wanted to see if he could use it before blowing fifteen grand on a rental.
Assuming that Izuku was about to try and show off, Luna sat back against her bike and pulled up her left leg, resting her cheek against her knee and observing him with a smile. She was tempted to tell him he didn't need to try so hard to impress her, but she didn't want to offend or upset him. Rich people tended to enjoy spending money, so if that's what Izuku wanted to do, she didn't mind indulging him. She just wanted to have fun with a cute, pleasant-smelling foreigner.
Turning back to Luna, Izuku asked, "Are you okay with having someone chauffeur us around, or would you prefer to drive?"
"That's up to you," replied Luna, narrowing her eyes slightly as she added, "It could be fun to ride in the back of a limo and sip on some champagne."
"We'll consider that for this evening," said Izuku, sending his response to Nezu as he added, "It's a bit early to be drinking."
"That's probably for the best," mused Luna, adopting a playful smile as she revealed, "Don't tell anyone, but I'm a bit of a lightweight. I also tend to get clingy, so you've been warned."
"I'll keep that in mind," replied Izuku, returning a smile as he placed his cell phone into his breast pocket. Less than a minute later, a man dressed as a hotel employee showed up, carrying with him a bunch of keys as he practically ran over.
"Oh, hey, Thomas," said Luna, raising her hand and performing a casual wave.
Though he briefly cast an incredulous look toward Luna, Thomas's main focus was Izuku, forcing a smile as nervously as he presented the keys and said, "Your keys, sir."
Shaking his head, Izuku thumbed toward Luna, saying, "Let the lady choose. I don't have a license."
"Right..." replied Thomas, shifting his attention to Luna as he asked, "Which car would you like to drive...ma'am?"
"Do I really get to choose?" asked Luna, moving next to Izuku and staring up at him with excitement in her luminous golden eyes.
"Go ahead," replied Izuku. "My package includes free vehicle rentals, so you have your pick of the litter. No pun intended."
Turning her eyes up, Luna muttered, "Ma dai..." before snatching one of the sets of keys from Thomas and darting over to a car that looked more like a spaceship than a road-faring vehicle. In fact, Izuku was positive he had seen a similar model with rotary wings.
Alleviating Thomas's paling complexion, Izuku gave the man a firm pat on the shoulder as he said, "Thanks for the quick service. I'll be sure to send you a gratuity payment later."
Regaining a practiced smile, Thomas replied, "T-Thank you, Sir. If you need anything else during your stay, please don't hesitate to ask for me by name."
"I'll consider it," said Izuku, retracting his hand from Thomas's shoulder and following after Luna. She looked like a kid that had just received a go-cart for their birthday, but instead of a box car, the vehicle she was about to drive easily cost more than half a million dollars.
"Hurry up and get in~!" exclaimed Luna, waiting in the driver's seat with an unfettered smile and wide, excited eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming," replied Izuku, ducking his head to avoid hitting it on the slanted scissor door. This was ultimately unnecessary, as the car was made to accommodate much larger individuals, but he had smacked his head on a similar door in his past life.
"It looks even more like a spaceship inside..." remarked Izuku, settling into the remarkably comfortable passenger's seat, seemingly made from some kind of memory foam material. As for why he had commented on the interior, it was because the dash panel was entirely digital, framed by Tron-like lights.
"If that's you're reaction, you're gonna love this," said Luna, inserting the key into the ignition and turning it. As she did, the dashboard came to life as the previously clear windows tinted, making the car's interior dark and atmospheric. At the same time, the seat Izuku was seated in seemed to conform even further to his body as it simultaneously moved back a little, giving him more legroom.
Pointing to the display on his side, Luna said, "Check it out&mdash;full biometric data. The computer system can sense if you're sick, intoxicated, or injured and automatically take over, driving you home or to the hospital. With this puppy, we don't even need a chauffeur."
"I take it that you like cars?" asked Izuku.
"Duh," replied Luna. "I don't know how it is over in Japan, but here in New York, every man, woman, and child has dreamed of owning a car like this. It's a status symbol, especially for those who feel they have something to prove."
"Well, it's ours for the next couple of days," replied Izuku. "Feel free to put some miles on it."
"Oh, definitely," replied Luna, adopting a smile that showed off her sharp teeth as she mused, "Did you see the look on Thomas's face? He's going to be sick to his stomach when he reads the odometer. The hotel gets to charge more if the car doesn't have a lot of miles on it."
"Don't do anything that might jeopardize your job or career," said Izuku. "There is an old adage that says 'you only live once,' but it's best not to compromise yourself just to have some fun..."
Raising her brows, Luna turned to Izuku and remarked, "That's a pretty responsible thing to say. Just how old are you?"
"Sixteen," replied Izuku, the corners of his smile curling upward when Luna's eyes widened in surprise. It was impossible for him to tell her age based on her appearance, but he suspected she was around 23-25 since she had previously informed him she was close to getting her Masters in Finance and Economics.
Recovering from her stupor, Luna adopted a wry smile and scratched her cheek as she admitted, "Wow, I was way off...I thought you were at least twenty...."
"I get that," replied Izuku. "People have always told me I was mature for my age. If you don't mind my asking, how old are you?"
"I turn twenty-three in March," replied Luna, a conflicted look developing across her face as she faced forward and lowered her gaze, seemingly in deep thought. Seven years wasn't an insurmountable age gap compared to some celebrities, but she suddenly felt like she was taking advantage of a horny teen with more money than sense...
Catching Luna a little off guard, Izuku said, "We don't need to have sex. To be honest, one of the reasons I didn't meet up with you yesterday is because I thought I had given you the wrong idea. If you just want to see a movie and hang out, I'm more than down."
Passing the buck back to Izuku, it was Luna's turn to surprise him by stating, "But I kind of want to?" in a questioning tone, scratching the back of her head and smiling awkwardly as she added, "Your scent got me really riled up yesterday, so I think we have good compatibility. What's your sign, by the way? Mine's Pisces."
"Uh...Cancer?" replied Izuku, not entirely sure as he had never looked it up.
"See?" said Luna. "Cancer and Pisces have amazing compatibility. Let's just pretend I didn't ask for your age, and if anyone else does, tell them you're twenty. You certainly look it."
Though he got the impression Luna was forcing herself, Izuku responded with a relaxed shrug and replied, "Sounds good. Just don't be afraid to change your mind. I didn't choose the name Paragon because I believe I'm perfect and without flaws. It's because I want to become someone who can inspire others."
Noting the sincerity in Izuku's expression and tone, Luna regained her usual smile, asserting, "You treat others well, even if they're different than you. I'm sure you'll make a great Hero someday. For now, however, you're playing the part of my compagno...my 'companion.'"
Raising his brows, Izuku remarked, "I'm pretty sure compagno means something else..."
Narrowing her eyes and adopting a surprisingly alluring smile, Luna teased, "Well, it's not wrong..." as she positioned her hand over the manual transmission and caressed the knob, all without breaking eye contact...
