Once Upon a Time {Keigo x Reader}

37: Touya

It was difficult finding Keigo. And you had Bakugou looking with you. And still- he was no where to be found.

"Great, just great." You huffed. You were getting incredibly frustrated, and could feel yourself over heating and getting red in the face. He had a history of cheating on you, you knew that, but you couldn't help but assume the worst. But he wouldn't dare, not on the night of your birthday, not on the night of announcing the engagement and wedding.

"Maybe you should go outside in the cool air." Bakugou suggested. "Take a breath, and relax."

You bit the inside of your cheek and nodded, turning around and going outside. You figured someone would come and get you when it was time for the announcement. You went outside to the garden, your usual spot. You sat on the edge of the fountain with your head in your hands. Your hands had gloves on them, and reminded you of the feeling your mother gave you when she would cup your cheek with her gloves on. It was comforting.. and you missed the feeling.

You sat there for an awful lot long time, just taking in the silence. It was nice being alone. But you needed to find Keigo. It was eating at you. You had this certain burning in your heart.. you couldn't get rid of it. You had to trust your intuition. But assume you did find him, who would he be with? What would he be doing? It was an awful thing to think about...

"Y/n? You're still out here?" You heard someone enter, and it was Bakugou.

"Yeah." You answered simply. You rolled your shoulders back to stretch a bit, to hopefully relieve some tension from your body.

"Don't you want to come back inside?" He walked closer and sat in the fountain next to you.

"Not right now. I have a lot going on in my head." You sighed, shaking your head a bit. "Have you found Keigo?"

"Nope. But I have Kirishima looking for him." He sighed. "I don't see what you see in him."

"Katsuki, I thought we were done with this."

"I thought so too, but this just gives me a whole new reason to hate him."  You couldn't say anything.. because he was right. He was always right, most times. "How are you feeling?"

"Not good." You admitted. "I feel... a bit insecure."

"You shouldn't. You're the most beautiful person there is." Bakugou's eyes went soft, and he placed his hand on top of yours.

"I know you think that, and it means a lot to me.. but I need Keigo to think that."

"If he did he wouldn't have ran off with that so called friend of yours."

"I know.."

He stayed silent, feeling the tension in the colder air. "Dammit, I hate it when he makes you feel like this. But... also a bit grateful for it."

"Grateful?"

"Because we become closer."

"I suppose we do."

He stayed quiet.. and scooted over closer.

"I love you."

"I know you do."

"And after all of this time, you still choose him over me."

Again, you had nothing to say to him. At this point, Bakugou did treat you better.

"Please don't make this hard for me." You sighed. "It's already hard enough."

"You know the answer, Y/n, just admit it! At this point you'd rather me than him! Just say it!"

"No! I'm not doing that! I love Keigo, and I know he loves me!"

"Stop telling yourself that when it isn't true!"

Uou stood up and stood in front of him, your hands balled into fists. "It is true!"

"It's not!" He stood up, and got close to your face. "Admit it. In this moment right now, you're not happy with him."

"Maybe not right this second, but in the long run I will be!"

"How can you be so sure, huh!? You don't know what it will be like to live together, you don't know what it would be like to have kids with him, you don't know, Y/n!"

Your face got scrunched up, and you wanted to yell at him back. What would he know about your feelings and your relationship? You opened your mouth to say something, but you heard someone enter the garden area.

"Princess Y/n, I've been looking for you." You turned around and saw Touya walking towards you and Bakugou. "Is something the matter?"

"We can't find the stupid chicken that you serve." Bakugou shot at him. "He ran off with some girl."

"We don't know that for sure." You tried to calm down a bit, but your voice was shaky.

"Bakugou, may I speak with the princess alone please?" Touya asked. Bakugou growled lowly and stormed off. He wasn't exactly happy to be leaving you alone with him. Bakugou himself didn't know him very well, and Bakugou figured the two of you had never had a conversation before. You sighed and sat back down on the fountain, your head now pounding.

"Is he right, Touya?" You looked up at him, but he showed no expression. He sat down next to you and looked up at the sky.

"He cares for you very much. I know that. But he's stupid."

That wasn't something you wanted to hear.

"Do you know where he went?"

"No."

"This is so frustrating.." you sighed, and went to stand up, but Touya reached for your wrist to keep you back.

"Y/n, you're amazing. You're so kind to everyone around you and you're just.. amazing." You looked into his eyes as he was saying this, but it was as if his eyes showed no emotion. But the way he was saying it sounded so genuine. You couldn't tell. "I'm sorry he's such an ass to you, you don't deserve that.. you deserve the world and so much more." He cracked a small smile and stood up, placing your hand on his chest as one of his arms snaked around your waist.  "And I feel like I can give you so much more."

"Touya, I..."

"You're just hurting yourself the more you stay with him. You deserve to grow, and he's giving you no light. Let me be your light."

"Oh Touya..." You had almost forgotten completely about Keigo. Touya was being so sweet, and uou had no idea why. He never seemed like this..

He caressed your cheek, and started moving in closer. You didn't move. You didn't move towards him or away from him. You didn't want to betray Keigo, even though it was pretty obvious he was betraying you, but you also kind of wanted Touya to kiss you.

"What the hell?"
