My Own Version Of Love

'Protecting' is Another Way of Being Possessive

Izuku POV

I know that kacchan is hiding something from me. And i expected that it would be something like this.

When i was having a date with kacchan, some annoying pest with red spiky hair called out to him. He look so scared and his body is trembling just from seeing this guy.

It pissed me off that this spiky bastard not only ruined our date but also tried to touch my kacchan. I want to punch him in the face but i got to calm down for kacchan's sake.

"Excuse me but what business do you have with 'my' kacchan?"

"'My' kacchan? Bastard, fuck off. He's mine."

I held kacchan close to me by putting my hand on his shoulders. Then i smiled sweetly towards him to make him at ease.

"Kacchan, do you know this guy?"

He looked at the ground and grip his hands. He's also trembling a little bit which is not visible from far away. He's so shaken that he's not even pushing my hand away.

Usually, he would be shouting at me or punching me by now. Who the hell is this guy? What does he mean to kacchan? Whatever it is, i won't let him touch kacchan.

I held his face and made him look at me.

"Kacchan, it's ok. I'm here. I won't let him hurt you."

I squeezed his hands to reassure him. He flinched a little bit and i think he came back to his senses now.

I let go of his hands and glared at the noisy guy who's been staring menacingly at me.

"Oi, you there. Do you have a business with us?"

"Heh. I don't have a business with you. I'm only here for bakugou. I'm his boyfriend, aren't i bakugou?"

He tilted his head to look at kacchan beside me so i immediately hid him behind me.

"You're so pitiful. Can't you see that you've been dumped already? Chasing him all the way here, it seems like your brain cells are not functioning well. You can't even process the fact that he doesn't like you. What a pitiful idiot. Since i already spelled it out for you, surely you realized it by now. I would be concerned if you can't even understand this much."

He let out a bloodthirsty glare. I must have touched a nerve. I'm not scared though.

"Fucker!"

Kirishima plunge forward and readied his fist.

"What a hotheaded bastard."

He's not even a threat. What a weak punch.

I grab his fist and stopped it on the spot. Then i squeezed it so hard. He tried to break free but it's not easy to get away from me. When he realized that he can't get away, he glared at me. I just smiled and punched him at his gut. He collapsed to the ground holding his stomach.

I got close to him and whispered to his ear.

"Don't get close to kacchan. If i even see a glimpse of your hair, i will make sure that you'll be erased from this world. This is not a threat but a 'request.' If you don't listen to me, i'll show you just how serious i am. Got it?"

I stood up not waiting for a reply.

"Bastard. You think i'm scared of you?! Ugh!"

I ignored his ramblings and get back to kacchan.

"Kacchan, are you ok?"

His face is pale and he's still trembling a little.

"Come here."

I dragged kacchan to our secret place. It's quiet there and no pests would come near.

When we got there, i let go of him and sitted him on the wooden bench. (Let's just say that deku also put a bench there.)

As i turned around to face him, i was shocked to see that tears are falling down his face. Without thinking, i hugged him and caressed his head. We stayed that way until he calms down.

"Kacchan, i like you. So no matter what your past is or who you were with, i will never hate you."

He let go and looked at me.

"De...ku."

"I'm sorry for confessing like this. I know it's not the right time but i want you to know my feelings. Truthfully, i'm a little jealous of that guy who said he was your boyfriend. You don't have to reply right now. Uhm. I'm just saying that i will treat you better than him and i won't hurt you. I love you. So please let me stay by your side."

"... Sorry, deku."

"Ah! No, it's ok. It's fine. It's fine. You don't have to answer right now."

"It's not that. I'm just scared. Hey izuku, what does love mean to you? For me, love simply means sex. Love is just an excuse to justify abuse and sexual desires. Is your 'love' like that as well?"

"Kacchan..."

I was so shocked to hear kacchan's view on love. Just what did he experience to become like this?

"Kacchan i am-!"

"Sorry. I'm tired so i'll go home now. I'm sorry for telling you something unpleasant. Forget it deku."

Kacchan turned around and walked away but i caught his arm and hugged him from behind.

"For me, love is..."

So what is the purpose of the bench? They didn't sit on it. Gosh. I've bought it with my allowance.
