Summary: Katsuki, well Katsuki, he only cared for Eijirou, he was all he thought about and more, there was no one else he loved more. But Eijirou had options upon options, he loved everyone equally, and he told them. How was Katsuki any different to the redhead? Katsuki was just another I love you to Eijirou. Katsuki wasn't important, he was just a stepping stone.

Notes: Too much angst recently m sorry- I just feel like it I'll get back to fluff sooner or later probably :)

In katsukis eyes, it was gelled up red hair and ruby eyes, constantly held up by a sharp grin.

But for Eijirou, it was everyone, that's what Katsuki thought of course. Sure Katsuki knew Eijirou loved fluffy ash blonde hair. Warm calloused hands and angry down tilted eyebrows.

But he also loved bubble gum pink hair and dance breaks in the middle of class, and he loved electric yellow hair and stupid noises when denki short circuits. He loves midnight black hair and the all knowing voice of reason that slips out of perfectly straight teeth.

He loves the bush of green hair and potential that sits behind Katsuki. And he loves deep lavender blues tunes that sing their way out of kyoka's guitar strings.

And he loves everyone else in their class, and he loves the people in 1-B. He loves civilians he doesn't even know, he loved the rush of adrenaline villains give him.

Katsuki wasn't special to kirishima. Kirishima loved everyone equally, he told Katsuki I love you, but he also told Kaminari, and Mina, and sero, and everyone. Katsuki was just another I love you to Eijirou.

And that's fine. Not like there's some rule that Eijirou has to treat him differently, they're only dating. It's not like he should be special to Eijirou or something.

Unlike everything in him screaming to say something. Katsuki keeps his mouth shut for the first time in his life.

Katsuki was just sitting in bed when it happened.

He was quietly reading some dumb book he over head Eijirou gushing about. When he heard his doorknob rattling frantically, he put down the book and walked over to the door. Opened it cautiously, greeted with a smiling redhead.

Once the door was open enough Eijirou jumped on him, giving the blonde a big hug. Katsuki embraced Eijirou back with a straight face, he saw the redhead do the same thing to Mina yesterday in the common room.

Eijirou wouldn't have hugged Katsuki in public like that. Is Eijirou embarrassed to be with Katsuki? Does he tell his other friends how he doesn't like Katsuki? How the blonde makes him uncomfortable? Does Katsuki make him uncomfortable? Does-

"Katsuki?" The blonde snapped out of his trance. "Are you okay bud-?" Eijirou questioned with furrowed brows and a bit of a chuckle.

"Huh-? Oh, oh yeah no I'm fine sorry." Katsuki said rubbing a hand down his face. Eijirou looked off probably thinking about something. Katsuki let him, wasnt any of his business. "Was there something you needed?" Katsuki asked after a moment of awkward silence.

"I'm not aloud to hang out with my own boyfriend?" Eijirou said with a curious grin, Katsuki smiled back and let it drop when the redhead looked away.

"So what he doesn't love you that's your conclusion?" The purple haired girl asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes?! That is all I've been saying!" The blonde yelled. The one time he genuinely says how he's feeling to someone she just shut him down.

"God that was so, un bakugou like, I've genuinely never seen you just accept defeat like that man! It's kinda lame." She said with a competitive grin, but her expression turned sour when



"How do you expect me not not get bored of you?!" The redhead yelled back, anger spilling out, bottled feelings spilling out. He felt his skin harden defensively. "God you're so boring! You try and play this victim main character! Do you even know who you are Katsuki? Everything in youre life has worked out for you, you got the quirk of your dreams, you got into the school of your dreams, the boy of your dreams?!" The redhead chuckled dryly.

"You have some ego to think you have some type of 'sad past' you're just there to make other people feel good about themselves after beating you. You're a stepping stone to others victory!" Eijirou yelled. Katsuki sat there speechless, tears streamed down his face, he looked up at his red eyed lover, nodded, and quietly left the room.
