Unfinished Business

9. The whole Truth 💥

" Love is friendship that has caught fire" ~ Ann Landers

Emerald eyes were wide with anxious wonder as he stared at Katsuki waiting for what he would say next.

The blonde was looking deeply at the greenett feeling his heart beating so hard it actually fucking hurt.

There's no turning back, no place left to hide, no more running, it's time to face the truth and years of feelings and unexplained actions. Yes, it's time for Katsuki Bakugou to finally come clean let this nerd know exactly how he feels and always has.

Katsuki pushes himself off the wall letting Izuku out of the arm cage.

He reached down and took the greenett's hand leading him to sit on the bed.

The blonde cleared his throat.

" Come sit Deku, this might take awhile so I hope you don't have any place to fucking be"

He didn't have any place to be and even if he did he would have canceled any plan he had to hear what Katsuki had to say. He even reached into his pocket and turned his phone completely off not wanting any interruptions of any kind.

Katsuki sat on his bed with the greenett right beside him, shoulder to shoulder.

The blonde took another breath his eyes on the ground while Izuku studied him intensely.

Katsuki let his eyes shift to the side seeing Izuku waiting anxiously.

He scoffed lightly.

" I don't even know where to fucking start, imagine that, the great loud mouth Katsuki fucking Bakugou at loss for God damn words" , he smirked.

Izuku smiled softly seeing whatever this was wasn't easy.

He slowly reached out and put his hand on top of Katsuki's and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

The blonde let his eyes fall to the hand resting on his. That scarred hand that always reached for him, that hand that Katsuki had once pushed away but now longed to have locked in his grip.

And that's exactly what he finally did. He turned his hand over with his palm up and closed large fingers around Izuku's hand and held it tightly bringing it up and kissing the back of it.

Tears were immediately in green eyes as he said nothing but watched every move.

" Well , I guess I should start by saying that.... that uh you aren't the only one who feels the way you do", the blonde finally said letting his eyes meet glassy green ones.

" I..." , he paused, the words he had waited to say for years feeling like led on his tongue.

" I ..love you Izuku, I always fucking have."

Izuku's breath caught at the words he didn't think he would ever get to hear. He broke down into tears holding tightly to the blondes hand.

" Always?" , he whispered hardly able to believe it.

Katsuki shook his head yes his eyes back on the ground.

" Yup, fucking always. Even when we were brats I loved you, I didn't really understand what it meant back then of course, but I just knew that I felt bad when you weren't around, that every time you left I got upset. I never could deal with my emotions right, not even then so I would get moody angry anytime Auntie took you home, or I had to leave you. Looking back years later I knew it was because I loved you even then."

Izuku went wide eyed, his heart swelling at the confession tears steady down his face.

" Really?" , he questioned again with a smile though glassy tears.
