My Own Version Of Love

In this World, Nothing is Free

Katsuki POV

It's been a month since then. Idk what happened after that. Right now, i'm in a city somewhere, facing the river with a cigarrete on hand.

"That fucking psycho rapist!"

I shout in the air to get my frustations out. I throw my cigarette on the ground and stomped it over and over. The next thing i knew, i had tears rolling down my cheeks and onto to my jacket. That was the cue. I cried my heart out for a while.

I never spend so much time in one area because i'm scared he'd find me. I did odd jobs wherever i end up then after a week, i'd moved to another place. I earn just enough to keep my belly full.

"I'm tired. I wanna sleep. But i have to find a park somewhere or any other place i could spend the night with. What a pain."

I feel sluggish. I think i have a fever. Idc as long as i don't get to see that shitty hair.

I walked and walked with nowehere to go. I just hope that when i turn that corner i'd find someplace i can sleep.

Ah this is bad. My vision starts to blur. When i turned on the corner, i bumped into someone. All i could make out was something red so i panic and tried to run away but instead, i hit my head into the wall and fainted.

Fuck!

When i woke up, i see an unfamiliar ceiling and recalled the events of the previous night.

My head hurts and i'm dizzy. I can't breathe and i'm burning up. I guess my fever still haven't gone down.

In any case, i need to leave. I'm sure i saw him last night. Did he brought me here? Idk where the fuck am i but anywhere else is heaven compared to here.

I tried to get up slowly but surely. When i was able to sit up, i heard a door opening. Footsteps followed it and it's coming closer.

Oh no! He's here! I need to run! No! Nooo!

I get up as fast as i could only to stumble back down.

"Are you ok? Did you hit your head? Can you get up?"

This voice...! It's not him? But i certainly saw...

I look up to see the mysterious man and i was mesmerized by his beauty. He's handsome. His hair is half white and half red and his eyes have different colors.

I see. I must have saw the half of his hair last night. Since it's blurry, i might have mistook his white hair as just lighting on the street. Wait. So if he's here, that must mean he's the one who helped me.

"T-tha...k y..o.u... haa.."

Fuck. I can't speak properly.

"You must lie down first. You've got one hell of a fever don't you. I brought medicine since my stock ran out. Have some water first."

He got a cup of water and let me drink it.

"Wait here. I'll prepare some food for you. Make sure you rest up ok?"

He's so kind. Who is he?

I lie down as i was told and an hour later, he brings porridge by the bed and feeds me.

"I can eat on my own."

"No. You're still burning up and i'm sure you haven't got your strength yet. You might hurt yourself if it slips your hand so let me."

"O-okay."

I was not able to finish the whole bowl but it was delicious.

"Thank you for the food. It's so tasty."

"Lie down and rest."

I quickly took a nap as i feel a little bit better.

The next morning, my fever went down and i can pretty much do anything on my own. I see the kind guy busy cooking in the kitchen.

I sit up and observe him.

I still doesn't know his name. Why did he helped me? I should leave today. I can't bother him any more than this. Of course, i'd thank him before that.

Idk if he felt my stares but he turned around and smiled at me.

Wow. He's so handsome. My heart skipped a bit and my face flushed.

"Good morning. I'll be done in a second so please wait a little longer."

He's plating the food and put it on a table.

Wow~. He only cooked a milky soup dish (idk the term hahaha) but why does it look so delicious?

"Go ahead."

"Uh. I-itadakimasu."

A long silence dominated the table.

"Uhm. Thank you for taking care of me. I don't know who you are but i'm grateful. I won't bother you anymore than this so i'll leave as soon as possible. I will pay you for treating me. I'm really really thankful."

"You're welcome. But you don't have to pay me. I bumped into you so you hit your head and fainted. It's also my fault so now we're even. Moreover, you don't have to leave."

"What? But!"

"Now that i think about it, I still do not know your name."

"Huh? It's bakugou. Bakugou katsuki."

"Katsuki huh. I'm shoto. Todoroki shoto. Just call me whatever you like. And as we were talking about earlier, you don't have to leave. Just stay here. You don't have anywhere else to go right?"

I flinched. He's right. I don't have anywhere else to go.

"But i can't keep bothering you like this."

"It's not a bother. Not at all."

"But still..."

"Then let's do this. You'll stay here but you will work for me. Lately, i'm so busy with work that i can't keep the house clean. So you'll do those for me. What do you think?"

"Only those? Nothing else? I-i mean it's a good deal but..."

He's really so kind. I can't keep this forever or else, he might be involved in my problem.

"Then for just 3 months. I'll leave after that. I had to go home eventually so that's the most time i could stay here."

I lied. I had no home to return to. My parents are already dead and i sold the house to pay for their funeral. And there's the issue of a shitty hair. Now that i think about it, my hometown is quite far away. I'm sure "he" won't chase me that far. I've decided. I will go there after these 3 months. That means i did not lie to todoroki.

"I see. Where is your hometown?"

"It's quite far actually. Idk if you do but it's at the outskirts. Maybe okinawa or hokkaido. I was very little when i left there so i don't reme.ber much."

"That's really quite far. I see."

"Is that all?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Won't you ask me why am i here or something?"

"Ah. I want to but it looks like you don't want to talk about it. Do you want to tell me?"

"No."

"As i thought."

We finished eating after that. I helped washing the plates and drank my medicine after. Todoroki went to work and i was left alone in his house.

-----------
He is so dreamy isn't he? Good looks, stable work, and good manners. What more could you ask?

I love ya todoroki-kun. I hope you stay that way. Kyaa~!
