truth

once the pair got home katsuki went for a very much needed shower. izuku lazily shoved himself onto the couch and snuggled into the blanket getting lost in his thoughts. his thoughts scared him to say the least, the way katsuki killed that man, so effortlessly, so easily. it didn't scare him at all and that's what scared him...if it was anyone else, literally anyone, izuku would be terrified of them, what they could do, how much damage they could cause, fuck, he would even fear for his life around them. but it's different with katsuki. call him toxic but he KNEW, katsuki wouldn't hurt him.

"alright i'm all clean, now get talking" izuku felt his body shift next to him on the couch causing the greenette to turn around and face him. with a sigh izuku looked straight into his red ruby eyes which were asking a million questions. "where do i start?" he asked him desperately wishing katsuki would just forget about it and let it go. but he knew that was no longer an option now. "the very beginning" the blonde replied wiping some hair behind izukus ear trying to relax him as best as he could. "i met sho- i mean i met todoroki in highschool, i got bullied really bad by people in the year above, it wasn't so bad at the start, it was bare able, a few name calls, dead mom and never having a dad jokes, nothing i couldn't handle." izuku began, to katsuki this was already enough to drive him crazy never mind the smaller more fragile male. "it got worse as weeks went on, name calling turned into pushing, dead mom and absent dad jokes turned into death threats which honestly, i considered at the time."

izuku couldn't believe how truthful he was being, after all this time he kept everything bottled up to protect his own emotions but everything just seemed to be spewing out, he didn't even think he could stop now even if he truly wanted to.

"todoroki noticed this and stopped them, i don't exactly know what he said or did to them but they never bothered me again, that's where it started, something inside of me convinced myself that i'd fallen for him since he 'saved' me, pathetic, huh?" izuku chuckled not even realising he was crying. "no, it's pretty common when you feel like your worlds ending and your finally okay again, to latch onto whatever helped you out of that fucked up situation" katsuki reassured the tearful boy, wiping away the stranded tears on his cheeks and nodded for him to continue.

"he showed interest in me anyways, we ended up dating for the last two years of high school and all the way through college, plus a year after so roughly about five years. that also started off good, loving, everything you'd want in a relationship. as we got more comfortable, it got worse, it started with him getting annoyed at everything i did, everything had pissed him off, sometimes i thought i couldn't even breathe right without him getting annoyed at every little thing i did...now i look back, that was when i fell out of love, i didn't know it at the time but i couldn't even bare to look at him, he started to beat me, even when sober, which meant there was no excuse as to why he was abusive. yet he expected me to still sleep with him, kiss him, show him affection as if he hadn't just almost killed me an hour before, there was...

countless times i said no...."

izuku noticed himself about to cry again when katsuki started to stroke his freckled cheek reassuringly, "i'm sorry, i don't know what's going on with me right now" he said bursting into tears, his emotions had caught up to him. "shhh, there is nothing wrong with you, your so strong izu" the blonde said bringing him into a hug and stroking his curls, letting  him unravel in his strong, safe arms. he was sobbing uncontrollably, "izu baby, you have to calm down, your going to make yourself sick" bakugou said placing his hands on each of his cheeks, making izuku look at him. the greenette nodded innocently choking back sobs, trying his best to stop the tears. it was heartbreaking for katsuki to see, he knew something bad had happened but he didn't know to what extent. but he couldn't help but be glad izuku let him finally know the truth.

"i will never let him touch you again, you hear me?" katsuki said crossing his blonde brows empathetically, spreading butterfly kisses all across his wet freckled face, showing any sort of affection he could to calm the greenette down. until bakugou reached his plump swollen lips. "can i?" he asked izuku, consent is something the blonde had always respected, now more than ever, knowing what izuku had been through, to which izuku gave a quick hungry nod and wrapped his arms around the blondes neck, connecting their lips himself. the kiss wasn't passionate at first, it was soft, caring, reassuring, loving.

as the minutes went on, izuku deepened the kiss, katsuki let him take control, moving at his pace, the last thing he wanted to do was pressure him into something he didn't want. the kiss deepened even more with the tilts of the pairs heads. their lips locking perfectly, izuku parted his lips knowing katsuki would not make any advancements until given the green light. so izuku took that opening.

bakugou slid his tongue in, not hungrily, he almost savoured the sweet yet salty taste of izukus mouth, the odd tear would roll down his puffy eyes down to his chubby yet boney cheeks and into his open mouth. everything in katsukis body was screaming to protect him, he never wanted to see another tear fall from his eyes if he could help it. although he knew that was a far stretch. katsuki was really falling. the idea of love terrified the blonde to no ends, however this- was so different to anything he had ever had before. his first and only other love was a purple haired man, physique matched izukus only a little taller. scruffy mid length hair.

katsuki was much softer than he was now, back then. as expected with your first love. he'd have done anything for that man, anything at all, but before he could do that, shinso was ripped from him. poisoned by his parents at a ball-

he never thought he would forgive his parents, in fact, he didn't, at all. he planned to get them killed as soon as he was presented as mafia king, but he knew one thing for sure, and that was that love, is dangerous. he never thought he would ever be capable of love again, or at least not for a long, long time.

until he met izuku.

his initial plan when he first met the greenette was a simple one. marry the man to get what he wanted, which was his parents death, and becoming mafia king once and for all, all he needed was a partner and it would be done. but the more time he spent with the small male, he fell deeper and deeper in love with him, so much so that it scared him. but at the same time...he was more than willing to welcome this new feeling.
