Not as planned 1 - Katsuki Bakugo

Chapter 44

Summary

The third talk between Katsuki and Denki.

The next few days they found a lot of criminals and captured them. Katsuki had a lot of fun doing that. That was the job of a hero and he loved it. It felt really good to beat them down and cash them in.

They unfortunately had no further clues to Darleen, which sucked. But there was so much other stuff to do, that they couldn't think about it too much.

But every fun had to end at one point. July came and they had to return to school for the first term final exams. Luckily, learning wasn't hard for Katsuki. What was hard was that Eijiro didn't learn with him. Eijiro was being tutored by Deku. Even though they could control themselves a lot better now, they still stayed away from him.

During his time in the internship, he had no space to think about any kind of relationship and he was glad for that. But now it slowly came back. It was stupid, but some nights he really wished he could cuddle with the real Izuku and the real Eijiro, not just the pillows. But no can do.

Instead of Eijiro, Denki sat with him. It was a lot more difficult to teach Denki. At the moment he was playing with one of his stim toys, a hairy rubber ball. Katsuki looked at him, he saw that Denki had something on his mind.

A little bit exhausted Katsuki sighed. "Okay, what is it? What's on your mind, sparky?"

Denki blinked a couple of times. He had again this deer in headlights look. He started blushing. He fidgeted even more with the ball in his hands.

"Is it Shinso again?" Katsuki asked. He wasn't up to date with Denki's dating life.

"Ahh uhhh nooo! It's not Hitoshi" Denki mumbled. "I ... ah ... uhm ... I – it's nothing! I just can't concentrate ..."

Katsuki raised his eyebrows and put down the pen he was holding. "It's even worse than usual! C'mon sparky, what's up? Is it nightmares again?"

"Nah, I haven't had a nightmare in a while. The therapist is helping ..." his voice faded.

Katsuki sighed and released some calming pheromones. Denki visibly relaxed, he put his elbows on the table and lifted his hands up he supported his head with them. He exhaled deeply. "I-it's about some of the stuff, we are talking about ..." he started.

"Hm, okay. Do you want to talk about it?"

"I ... I want to, but I am afraid you'll get angry at me" Denki looked up nervously.

"Why would I get angry at you?"

"Because you might think this is weird or something. I don't want you to think of me that I am a freak or anything."

Katsuki was now really confused. "What? Denki just spit it out. You're always a weird freak, so that's nothing new."

Denki's face got as red as a tomato, he exhaled and clenched his hands around his stim toy. "Please don't be mad and you can say no if you don't want ... I ... uh ... when you go into your next heat ... ah ... Ah, forget it!"

"Denki! What's it about my heat? Spit it out!" His tone got a little bit annoyed now.

The beta looked so scared. "When you go into your next heat ... c-could I s-stay with you?" he mumbled hastily.

Katsuki's jaw dropped and now his cheeks got red. "Why do you want to stay with me during my heat?"

"Oh I knew this was a stupid idea. Sorry that I asked. This must be so weird. I am sorry, sorry, sorry!"
