His Deafened Dream

13

{Bakugo POV}

(A few days later...)

It was clearly obvious we both liked the other. I knew I did ever since that fight we had at school. Even the extras in class were starting to suspect something.

"Bakugo, you've been making Midoriya awfully uncomfortable these days. Did you two fight?"

"Hah? That's none of your business."

"I can't talk to my friend because of your petty fights, y'know."

"Say that again, IcyHot!"

"You should talk to him."

"I'll do whatever the hell I want."

He's been avoiding me, which pissed me off. Who was the one that made a move after I made mine?

"Bakugo, you seem distracted lately." Shitty Hair said, while I was tutoring him. "You solved that one wrong, I think."

I stood up, feeling stuffy. "'M gonna go on a walk."

"Eh?! But I need help!"

"Ask Scotch Tape or something!"

"I'm here for help too, y'know?!"

Slamming the door behind me, I walked to the elevator and pressed the button.

Ding!

The door opened, revealing the last(or maybe the first) person I wanted to see.

"Eh--" Deku was wearing a baggy shirt and short pants. My eyebrows furrowed as he moved to the side. I walked inside, noticing the glow of the first floor button.

"Where the hell are you going this late?"

"J-Just for a jog...to clear my head and stuff..." He said, fidgeting with his fingers. "Um...So, where are you going, Kacchan?"

"Jog."

"Oh! We thought the same thing. Isn't that funny..."

I rolled my eyes. "The hell are you so fucking nervous for?"

"I'm not!" He winced, grabbing onto his ear.

"Stupid, don't yell," My fingers touched the hearing aid, as he shuddered. "You're gonna fucking hurt your ears."

"I'm okay." He said, as our hands brushed against each other as he touched his ear. "Sorry for yelling."

"...Deku."

He pursed his lips. "Mm--?"

Ding!

He stared at his only escape route. I knew what he was thinking and grabbed his hand before he could run. The doors closed.

"Kacchan?"

"Don't just run from me." I said. "What am I, a monster?"

He looked at me, before squeezing my hand. "No...Of course not..."

"Don't just ignore me after confessing your fucking feelings, shitnerd. That's not how it works."

"I didn't--! Mmph!" His hands squeezed my shoulders as I repeatedly left kisses on his lips. "Why-Wait--Slow down!"

He grabbed my cheeks, stopping me from making him into an embarrassed pile of goo. His face already looked like a cherry, and his hands were slightly shaking.

"What, embarrassed? Pathetic."

"The fact that YOU'RE not embarrassed is weird!" He said, his face twitching when he realized my arms were around his body. "We're in the elevator!"

"Not like anyone's using it."

"That's not the point!" I noticed him wince.

"Stop fucking yelling," I said, brushing my hand against his ear. "You're gonna make your ears bleed."

He looked away. "Who's fault is that..."

He looked back at me, pursing his lips. "Kacchan...Do you...like me...?"

I scoffed. "Hell no."

He looked down, looking disappointed. The fact that he was so fucking gullible made it much more fun to tease him.

"I LOVE you," I whispered into his ear, before turning around and opening the door. "You're just too stupid to see it."

I walked out, smirking as I heard Deku let out some weird, embarrassed groan.

{Midoriya POV}

Seriously, he's crazy!

I ended up going back to my room, my mind blank. His whisper lingered in my ear as I slumped down onto my bed. I stayed still for a few seconds before absolutely freaking out.

I screamed into my pillow, kicking the air.

"He's crazy! He's so so so so crazy!" I yelled. The warmth of his soft lips made me tingle, which made me freak out more. "He's crazy..."

I hugged my blanket, feeling a blush form on my face. I pursed my lips, staring at my ceiling. My brain was only filled with his face.

"Argh, you're so sly, Kacchan...don't just suddenly spread around my brain like a virus!"

"Virus?" I flinched sitting up. Todoroki-kun tilted his head. "Are you sick, Midoriya?"

"What? No, no!" I fumbled out of bed, embarrassed. Geez, I was totally acting like a girl! "What're you doing here?"

"I came to return the notes I borrowed."

"R-Right."

He narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Are you sure you're feeling well? Your face is red."

"I'm feeling okay, Todoroki-kun..." I said, placing the notes on my desk. "I think."

"You think?"

"I think."

"You're sick."

"I'm not!"

"You think."

He sighed. "It's just...a lot is happening and I have no idea what to do." My hands slapped against my cheeks as I felt the rush of heat on my hands. "I feel like...like..."

"Love."

"Exactly!" I blinked, realizing what he said. "Wait, what?"

"You look exactly like my brother when he met his girlfriend." He said, tapping his chin. "Though he has paler skin so it was more visible."

"I—Huh?! Love?"

"Don't yell, you'll hurt yourself."

"It's not LOVE, it's more of..." I twisted my hands, trying to find the right word, before sighing. "Yeah, I think it's love..."

A glint passed his eyes. "Bakugo."

"Wha—How'd you know?"

"It's obvious." He said. "Like you two are intentionally teasing each other."

"Teasing—?"

"Anyway, if you want to talk about, I can always help you." He said, giving me a small smile. "But I've never been in love with Bakugo so I'm not sure if I'll be of any help..."

I smiled. "Thanks, Todoroki-kun."

He waved, closing the door behind him. I sat back down on the bed.

Okay, talking to Todoroki-kun calmed me down a little. Now, let's think.

1. Kacchan confessed his love for me. He said, "I love you".

2. I also like Kacchan. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like his kisses.

So...are we dating?
