Strawberries and Honey: A HawkDeku Fanfiction

Chapter 22 (Apologies and Answers)

     Bakugou sat in his room. His mind couldn’t get off of the fact that he kissed Izuku. He kissed Izuku…...and Izuku left. ‘I shouldn’t have kissed him, after everything I’ve done. Why did he leave? Was it a bad kiss or does he just hate me? I couldn’t stop myself, I had to kiss him. I needed to kiss him.’

 “Ugh.” Bakugou sighed.’ If I stay here any longer, I’ll lose my sh*t.’ He looked at his clock. Third period was about to start. Bakugou wasn’t going to class. He would be bombarded with questions and that would just piss him off more. He went to the kitchen and sat at the breakfast bar with his phone. He couldn’t get Izuku out of his head. He thought he would try to eat something but he couldn’t.

        
       He heard a quiet gasp behind him. He turned to see Izuku ducking out of the room. He was going to say something but stopped himself. ‘great now he’s going to avoid me.’ Bakugou thought.

        Izuku was going to grab his phone charger from the common room when he saw Bakugou. He was taken by surprise and his emotions got the best of him again. He couldn’t talk to Bakugou after what had happened. Besides, he didn’t need his charger that badly. Izuku looked at his phone and internally slapped himself. His phone showed 7 percent.

        Izuku manned up and walked into the common room passing Bakugou. Bakugou watched as he unplugged his charger from the wall. Izuku looked up and the two made eye contact. They both quickly looked away.

“S-sorry” Izuku stuttered trying to duck back out of the common room. His shoulder had brushed Bakugou’s, just barely, but enough for Bakugou to stiffen up.

        Suddenly Bakugou’s body moved , not only surprising Izuku, but surprising himself as well. Bakugou had a tight grip on Izuku’s wrist. He saw Izuku wince at the sudden force, and loosened his grip.

“Look I-I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have….” Bakugou trailed off. His hand trailed off of Izuku’s wrist and went down to Izuku’s fingertips, before pulling away.

“No I sh-should’ve said s-something earlier….I shouldn’t have left. I-” Izuku’s voice cracked.

“Did you hate it?” Bakugou clenched his fist to his sides. ’Of course he hated it,'' Bakugou thought.

“No… “ Izuku looked away and Bakugou looked up to watch him closely.

“I just…” Izuku sighed sadly and rubbed his neck, feeling guilty.

“You just what?” Bakugou asked quietly.

“I-I already have feelings for someone...b-but I think it was just a one time thing-” Izuku choked on his quiet sobs.

“One time thing? Izuku did you-” Bakugou’s eyes widened as Izuku nodded slowly.

“Who did this to you?” Bakugou put his hands on Izuku’s shoulders to stop his shaking.

“H-he didn’t do anything,” Izuku shook his hands in a defensive gesture.

“I was the one who said he could...” Izuku put his hands over his face.

“Izuku, Who is ‘he’?”

“I d-don’t think I c-can’t tell you.” Izuku stated.

“What do you mean?”

“He- he’s older” Izuku groaned in frustration before sitting down at the counter.

“Wait, how much older?” Bakugou asked. Izuku looked away and Bakugou had a homicidal look in his eyes.

“Did he pressure you into it, did he force you-” Bakugou growled.

“No, no nothing like that, He told me to tell him when to stop. I just never said stop….I liked how he made me feel.” Izuku whispered the last part but Bakugou heard it.

“When did it happen?” Bakugou asked, calming down a little.

“I can’t tell you that either.” Bakugou raised a brow, but before he could ask ‘why’ Izuku answered.

“You’d know who it was.” Izuku gave a small knowing smile.

        There was a long pause. Bakugou started to put the information together. ‘Older, most likely recently, close enough for consent.’ Bakugou looked Izuku in the eyes.

“Hawks.” Bakugou stated. Izuku just sat there, his mind was blank. He looked down at his hands, they were shaking.

        Izuku ended up telling Bakugou everything.....
