"The Confession" (Bakugou x Deku)

Chapter 2: "Booth Boy~,"

Chapter 2: "Booth Boy~"

Bakugou's POV:

It's been a week. I couldn't get my mind off that guy. What a mystery, huh? I want to know more. Thankfully, today was the day he said he'd be coming back. I was currently unpacking a shipment of some random stuff in the basement. I saw the clock, and ran up to the confession booth, awaiting my next "client,"

(A/N: "Shipment," *The Promised Neverland: War-flashbacks*)

It's been 10 minutes. I was almost losing hope until I heard the other curtain open.

"H-Hello Father,"

"Hello my c-child, what's troubling you tod--HaH~I'm sorry--" I blurted out. Damnit! I can't keep this up.

"Uh...W-What?" He stutters confused.

"Yeah uh...Hey man," I try not to but I'm still laughing.

"Umm, hey 'man'," He says unsure. "Who are you?!" He asks, slightly angry and confused.

"Okay, I'm gonna be honest with you...I'm one of the priests' sons. I've just been hiding in here so I don't have to do work, but then you came in here last week an--'' I get cut off by him. Laughing.

"OH MY GOD! That explains a lot," He laughs.

"What do you mean, my son?" I ask him sarcastically, laughing my ass off. I hear his head hit the back of the booth.

"I shit you not, I went home and a whole fucking loaf of bread--" He laughs.

"PFFT--Why did you do that?!" I laugh with him.

"YOU TOLD ME TO!" He jokingly whisper-shouts at the wall.

"Oh shit, uh...My bad man," I replied.

"Well, since I'm here, can I just rant for a bit..?" He asks.

"Sure, go off man," I say with a slight laugh.

"Okay so--Wait. Are you...Ehm..." He trails off, and I know what he's asking. What gave 'my gay' away? Was it the "Go off man?"

"Yes, yes my child. Now, tell me all about this guy and your 'sinful thoughts'," I say in the most "Priest" voice I can manage.

"SHUT UP!" He yells jokingly.

"No, but seriously, booth boy, make my summer interesting. No names, nothing personal, I'm just here to listen. And c'mon, now I'm just curious~You've made me interested. Father is invested," I joke.

"Okay, but please continue to call yourself father, it's freaking hilarious and makes things less serious," He jokes, finally getting out his last laugh.

"Works for me, son," I joke. He laughs and starts his story.

"Well, I've known the guy since we were kids, but I wouldn't necessarily call us friends. He doesn't really like me, but I've always thought he was amazing," He continues, "I just want us to get along like we used to, maybe even more. But even if it doesn't go further, I'd still want us to be close again...Though I've been having those...ehm...Sinful thoughts I talked about before,"

"Dude, you don't need to say sinful thoughts, just say you were horny, jeez," I scoff, laughing and he joins in.

"Well I'm still in a confession booth, aren't I? And besides, what if he isn't into guys. He and I don't really have the type of relationship where I can ask. There are not many people I know who are out in this town anyway..." he trails off.

"Amen to that," I say before snapping my fingers together.

"Pfft--What did you say? Did you just snap?!" He laughs.

"Yeah. I'm gay too, man," I smirk playfully, answering his unsaid question.

"Now, tell me more about this guy. He doesn't even sound worth liking," I ask, curious and confused.

"Oh, trust me, he's worth it. He's confident, outgoing, acts like an ass, but I know he's kind, not to mention his body...It's--amazing," He says, emphasizing "amazing".

"Oh, so you've seen his body before? Is the booth boy not pure?" I jokingly question.

"Haha, very funny. Not gonna lie, I wish I have...but I've just kinda seen him in the change-rooms at school before, since we're in the same class," He trails off, mumbling a little.

I gasp dramatically before speaking. "You know, it's not the purest thing to sneak a peek at his body!"

"Oh shut up! You would too if you saw this guy..." He jokingly scoffs.

"Oh, would I? Is he that irresistible?" I make fun of him.

"Hah...Absolutely," He laughs. "So what about you..? Anyone that made you realize?" He asks.

"Yeah..." I trail off.

"C'mon! Tell me more!" He pressures.

I sigh and go on about Deku.

"There's this guy I've known for a long time, but he would never like me. I treated him like shit for years, but it's only because I didn't want to accept the fact that I was gay,"

"That sucks. But it seems like you've gotten over that internalized homophobia," he says quietly. He continues."I've known I was gay since I was a kid. Well, I'm not gay, I'm pansexual. But anyway, I guess I never really realized until middle school though. I always thought of this guy as a 'friend', well...More of a bully...But one day I guess it just clicked like I was always viewing him as something more...But, it's not like he'll ever feel the same way. I think I need to move on if anything..."

"Hmm...Same," I agree.

"Ooh~What about his body? I told you about my guy!" He laughs. I sigh.

"Fine! He uh...Well, he's really cute. Definitely a comic book nerd, which I'm still shocked I'm into. He's muscular but still has a curvy body...Really curvy..." I trail off thinking about Deku. I pause for a moment thinking about him before I snap back to reality.

"Not to mention, he's got a dump truck of an ass," I add, laughing, and he joins in.

"This is nice. We should do this more often," he states and I slightly smile at the idea.

"Yeah...That actually sounds great," I agree.

"Well I better be going, father," he jokes.

"Yeah, yeah, bye son," I joke too.

We laugh for a moment and I tell him something before he leaves.

"Oi! Remember to eat that bread!" I shout. He scoffs and it turns into a laugh before I hear him grumble a 'bye' and the curtain opens.

Damn, this guy just keeps getting more intriguing. I don't even know what he looks like, and I already know he's hilarious, nice, mysterious...It's intriguing.

AH! What am I talking about?! I have someone I like, and so does he.

But...It doesn't really seem like his crush would like him back, considering the fact that he described him as a bully. And it's not like Deku would ever like me back...Maybe it's time to move on. This guy seems nice...

It definitely doesn't seem like the worst idea in the world. If anything, it feels great.

No.

It feels right.
