Chapter Six: Obsessive Worry

Warning in advance, this is going to have NSFW elements at the end, which will be italicized, so skip past that if you don't want to read that!

Izuku had avoided Katsuki lately. He didn't mean to, it really was not on purpose. It was like there was something restricting him from spending time with the blond.

Katsuki was livid. There were multiple times he tried to get the green-haired boy's attention, from throwing a pencil at him in class to brutalizing him during gym training. He got all of his anger out during that period, and Izuku definitely took the brunt of it, being sent to Recovery Girl every time.

Izuku's friends were very, very worried about their friend. He wasn't talkative, and he was constantly in his own head. He was rigorously studying on his own and took notes constantly. One week, he came to school with a brace on his right wrist because of all of the writing he was doing.

One day, he was cornered by the Bakusquad, all except one blond hot-head, and shoved to a bench outside of the school.

"The Hell did you do to Bakugo? He's being a bigger ass than ever! I swear he hasn't gone a second without verbally assaulting me!" Denki exclaimed, crossing his arms. If he was trying to come off as the caring friend, he was really bad at it.

Kirishima shifted awkwardly, not saying anything at first. He eventually looked at Izuku and sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.

"He isn't talking to me either. I try calling him or try to team with him during training. Hell, I even asked him if he wanted to study, that got me thrown into a locker." the redhead laughed nervously, though Izuku could tell that it hurt the other to retell it.

"Guys, I'm sorry, but I have no idea what has got him so worked up. I've just been doing my own thing. I needed a break. I've been thinking of a lot of stuff, stuff that he doesn't need to be concerned about." Izuku murmured, nervously bouncing his leg as he sat, fingers tapping on his notebook. "It's not like we're close anyways, he's probably just mad about something else."

"Ah, come on Midoriya. We may be stupid, but we aren't dumb," Sero replied, rolling his eyes. "We all know that you're sneaking around to see each other. You never talk to your friends, or your girl Ochaco, and Bakugo doesn't talk to us. When you ate lunch with the group, he didn't talk to anyone else once. Just you. He barely calls you any names, and he even calls you Midoriya a couple of times. Something weird is going on, and it doesn't take much to figure that much out."

Kirishima stared off again, meticulously planning out his next statement before he spoke up again. Izuku noted Mina rubbing his back. Had Bakugo really hurt him that badly?

"I need you to fix it. Whatever it is. Seriously. I'm worried about him. I mean, he's my best bro. I gotta look out for him. Leaving him in the dust to suffer alone isn't manly." The taller male said finally, his cheeks dusted red like his hair. Izuku gulped and nodded slowly.

"I understand. I guess I didn't realize I had that much effect on him... We really aren't that close guys. But yeah, don't worry. I'll make sure he comes back to the Kacchan you guys know and love!" Izuku said proudly, sticking his chest out.

He laughed in his head, remembering what Katsuki had said last time they had spent time together two weeks prior. I always have that need to save people, just as Kacchan said.

The group thanks Izuku and started to walk off, Sero and Kaminari attached at the hip, blabbering about how quiet it was without Katsuki screaming about stuff, and Mina laughing along; but one member stuck around.

"Midoriya, can I talk for just a second. Just you and I alone?" Kirishima asked nervously, fiddling with his hands. Izuku was more than happy to say yes to the other. He seemed to always have a lot on his mind. Furthermore, he was so nervous or despondent around Midoriya since he had gotten close with Katsuki. He wondered why, but remembered what Katsuki said about their relationship when he came out. Didn't they have a thing?
