Their Hot Romance (BakuDeku)

Chapter Twenty-Three

How Izuku managed to make soup with Katsuki sitting on his knot, the omega wasn't sure. And he didn't think he wanted to find out. Now though, he sat across from Izuku at his tiny little dining table, which fit four people at max, staring down at his bowl of soup with a frown. It looked great. He really wanted to eat it. But at the same time, he didn't want to face the repercussions of eating literally anything.

"C'mon, Kacchan." Izuku urged. "Do I need to feed you?"

"Imma puke." Katsuki repeated his earlier statement. Izuku sighed heavily. "Deku, if I eat this, I'm going to puke. And it will be on you."

"Why?"

"Because I'm cramping, so eating anything just screams pain. Because I don't know if I'll have enough time to digest before the next wave hits, so then I'd end up puking." Katsuki explained. His tone showed his distress at the prospect. Izuku looked like a kicked puppy when Katsuki met his eyes. The omega's stomach twisted uncomfortably at the thought of his alpha being displeased with him.

Fucking stop it. He scolded himself. He's not my alpha. He's an alpha. He took another glance down at the bowl of soup then back up to Izuku, who looked to be deep in thought.

"Fucking hell." Katsuki cursed suddenly. "I'll eat whatever the fuck you hand me once this is over. Just please don't make me eat right now."

Izuku's emerald irises met Katsuki's pleading, scarlet orbs. He let out a soft sigh. "Okay, Kacchan." He whispered. Katsuki let out a breath of relief. He slumped into his chair. "Do you have snacks for later?"

Katsuki's brows pinched together as he thought. He could get up to check, but that implied moving from his somewhat comfortable position. He didn't like the idea of his cramps getting worse. "I dunno." He muttered.

"I'll look." Izuku said as he got up. He rummaged through the cabinets while Katsuki stared longingly at his soup. He wanted to eat what his- the alpha made, but he really didn't want to be puking. "I'm not seeing anything, Kacchan. Do you, like, ever snack?"

"Only during my heats. Even then it's protein bars and chocolate. Sometimes granola bars." Katsuki replied. He grimaced as he turned his body. "I can text Dunce. He's comin' to pick up Ry."

"Okay." Izuku returned to his seat to eat his soup. Katsuki rose to his feet, stumbling slightly. "Kacchan, are you okay?"

"Yeah. M' phones over there." He pointed to the couch. He slowly made his way over there. He stayed standing as he shot Denki a text. He carried his phone with him as he stumbled towards his bedroom. Izuku and Ryuu watched worriedly, but the blonde seemed to make it.

Izuku thanked Denki one last time before closing the door. He hurriedly made his way back to Katsuki's bedroom. He set the box of snacks by the closet door then stripped himself of his boxers. Katsuki waited patiently on the bed with his legs spread.

"So good, Kacchan." Izuku praised him as he sunk back into the blonde. He quickly fucked Katsuki through the wave of his heat, knotting him to top it all off. Katsuki closed his eyes as he relaxed into the warmth of the blankets. "Could you try to eat something now, Kacchan?"

"Mm. Guess so." Katsuki hummed softly. Izuku carried the omega with him as he fished a few of the snacks from the bags Denki brought over. Katsuki easily took one of the protein bars and a water. He sat comfortably in Izuku's lap as he ate, tracing over the alpha's chiseled chest with his finger. "You're so fuckin' hot." Katsuki whispered randomly. It was a clear sign that he was going to lose all thought processing in a few hours. It was around nine at night, which meant it'd been a little over eleven hours since they started this morning. Izuku's P.R. team was already trying to make up for missing most of the photoshoot.

"Am I?" Izuku inquired, humoring the omega. Katsuki nodded his head.

"Deku..."

"Hm?"

"I've always wanted to tell you."

"About what?"

"This." The blonde motioned to where they're tied together. "But I was scared."

"We'll talk about this later, Kacchan" Izuku told him. He felt a little like he would be taking advantage of Katsuki's drifting mind, and he didn't want that.

"If I don't say it now, I never fucking will." Katsuki shot back. His eyes narrowed slightly at the alpha. "I was scared because I knew you looked up to me. You always had no matter how harshly I fucking treated you. You had expectations for me, and I wanted to live up to them. So when you'd say we'd be amazing, alpha heroes together, and I'd shoot you down by saying you couldn't be an alpha, I drilled myself with the hope that I'd be an amazing hero for both of us. Then I presented, and-" Katsuki didn't even realize he'd started crying until Izuku was wiping his tears away. "Stupid fucking heat hormones." He cursed under his breath.

"It's okay, Kacchan. Take your time." Izuku told him. Katsuki took a few minutes to recollect himself and nibble on his snack. If he ate it slowly, he'd be less likely to barf it back up.

"That hope was crushed after I presented. I got meaner, I fought more, and I did everything I could to make sure others feared me. I didn't think- No, I knew I couldn't be a hero if I was an omega. So I made sure that everyone thought differently. I made sure nobody questioned it. I told Eijirou because he was my closest friend at the time, and I needed something to help me as well as someone to come up with an excuse. Denki found out after we moved into the dorms because he was dumb enough to come into my room. They became my lifeline. They helped me get through this, made sure I was never truly alone. And now..."

Izuku patiently rubbed small circles on his skin as he waited for the blonde to continue. Katsuki took a drink from his water.

"And now more people know -- especially you -- than I originally intended. If I'm being honest, I was never going to tell you. After you presented as an alpha then got your quirk, I didn't want to be seen as weaker than what I already fucking was. You got bigger, better, and I barely fucking changed. It pissed me off, so I pushed you away even more. Then I learned about the origins of your godforsaken quirk, and that helped, but it also hurt because All Might chose you -- a quirkless idiot who had goals way beyond his reach." Katsuki finished his little explanation with a puff of air hot. "I just didn't know what to do anymore."

"Kacchan, do you still doubt yourself?" Izuku asked in a tender, cautious tone.

"All the fucking time." Katsuki growled towards himself. Izuku quickly shushed him. He wiped the blonde's tears away with his thumbs then pulled the omega closer.

"Can I tell you a secret?"

Katsuki hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Yeah."

"All Might was an omega too."

Katsuki's eyes bulged out of his head.

"And Present Mic. But much like you, they hid it from the world." Izuku told him. He brought Katsuki's lips towards his own, capturing them in a sweet kiss. "We'll talk more later, okay?"

"But-"

"Later. I promise."
