Falling For Freckles

20. Use Your Voice Katsuki!

It was Friday, game day for the firey quarterback who could actually give two fucks about the biggest game of the year right now. A game that Katsuki was normally chomping at the bit with excitement over because it meant stomping that blue haired freaks team into the ground, but right now he felt absolutely nothing twards it.

He and Izuku had had that argument on Wednesday after the blonde had been a complete asshole to the greenett and even tho he had spent hours at Denki's door that night trying to make things right Izuku had kept his distance from the quarterback all day Thursday and even so far today and under the advice from his friends that he wasn't fucking so sure was good or bad at this point he had given the greenett space even tho he wanted to break down his damn door and crash him into his chest gripping on and not letting go.

He sat now in the locker room with his head down, fully dressed in his uniform a towel draped over blonde spikes letting his mind wander as the rest of the team was loudly getting hyped up all around him.

His mind was a tangle of thoughts as his heart ached. He wasn't sure where his relationship stood at the moment and that was causing an unsettling feeling to whirl in the pit of his stomach not to mention giving off a dark aura that screamed 'stay the fuck away from me' , something anyone who dared try and speak to him right now quickly found out as deadly ruby eyes would bore into them. He wasn't in the mood for anyone or anything and it was rolling from him in deep hell fire waves.

On the other side of campus Izuku had just gotten off work and was stumbling his way to the dorm. The little greenett having his own rough time the past few days.

He was keeping his distance even though down deep he wanted nothing more than to dive into the blonde's strong arms again, but just like with Katsuki, relationships were new to Izuku and that whole blow up had left him emotionally drained and anxious beyond what he was use to.

He bit his cheek as he stumbled along the sidewalk feeling lost and depressed. He missed the firey quarterback, he missed him alot but his anxiety always made him freeze up causing him to go stone cold quiet even if he wanted to talk.

He rolled his eyes at himself hating certain things about how he was like his current situation, it was frustrating. His thoughts were suddenly broken as he heard two students yelling down the sidewalk.

" Tonight is going to be epic!!! We got the best quarterback in the state! He's gonna tear the Renegades apart!!"

Izuku felt his heart ache. He wanted to be at tonight's game to see Katsuki play he really did, not just Katsuki but the rest of his friends also, but he just didn't think he could handle it, especially seeing the creepy Shigaraki who he was sure would haunt his nightmares and Toya, he actually teared up at the thought of Toya, the long lost big brother to both him and Shoto that he had wrongly assumed the two of them would never see again.

He shook the thought from his head as he was suddenly at his dorm door without even realizing it.

He sighed pulling his key from his pocket unlocking the door and stumbling through.

Tired, stressed emerald eyes immediately landed on something laying on his bed. He furrowed his brow then slowly moved to it peering down seeing a black and white university Jersey with the firey quarterback's name and number folded neatly on his bed with a note on top.

He reached for the note opening it up and reading the script.

Freckles -
I know you're still upset with me and even though it's killing me I fucking get it. I really am sorry Izuku, I wish you knew how much.
This is one of my game jerseys, it's tradition to have someone special to you wear it to a big game for luck, mine has never touched another's skin till now, I fucking hope that is.
I know it's alot to ask but please come to the game tonight Deku. I need to see those damn emerald eyes that think I can do no wrong even when it's clear I fucking can.
I'm not sure where we even stand right now, but since you haven't officially told me to fuck off yet I'm going to hang onto that.
I love you Izuku, if you don't believe anything else I've ever fucking told you, please believe that.
Love - Kacchan
