Let Me Love You [BakuDeku]

Chapter 24: Mystery Man

Katsuki frowned. This man knew Izuku? He looked over at the mentioned boy who was now looking distressed and uncomfortable. Was he scared of that guy? Who was he anyway?

"I- I- wh-"

"Haha, you must be surprised. Long time no see." The guy said smoothly, patting Izuku's shoulder with a smile that looked so fake

Izuku flinched at the sudden contact.

"A- ah, ye- yeah..." Izuku mumbled

Katsuki frowned harsher as he put a protective arm around Izuku's waist, pulling him close resulting in the guy's hand falling back down to his side.

"Who are you?" He asked pointedly

The man chuckled, smirking slightly.

"I'm just Izuku's friend back in his old neighborhood, right?" He looked at the smaller

Izuku flinched again as he just looked away.

Katsuki rolled his eyes.

"I was askin' for your name, moron." He grumbled

"Oh, well you'll know soon. I don't really like introducing myself to strangers." The guy said with a smile that Katsuki was just itching to punch it off of his face

"Anyways, gotta go so I'll see you around Izuku. Let's hang out sometime. Soon maybe." The guy suggested as he waved lazily and walked away

He put his hands in his pocket, but one pulled back out with his phone out to make a call to someone the two didn't know.

Katsuki scoffed as he looked over at Izuku who was hiding his face by looking away. He let go of the smaller's waist as he moved so he could stand in front of the greenette.

"Who the fuck was that creep? Do you really know him?" He asked

"...Y- yes." Izuku muttered

The blonde noticed the shakiness in the other's voice and the hesitance coming from him as well as the nervousness, or was it fear? Either way, he concluded that that man was making Izuku uncomfortable. Extremely uncomfortable. Fucking creepy too, what was that grin?

Katsuki nodded as he sighed.

"C'mon, let's get you home before we meet more weirdo extras." He said as he looked at Izuku, waiting for him to start walking so he could walk behind him and protect him at the same time

The two quickly got to the Midoriya's household and Izuku started to unlock the door. He was quiet the whole walk to here, Katsuki didn't know what to do. If he should ask about the guy from earlier or just leave it be, but he wanted to know why that asshole was making his Izuku so uncomfortable with just simple gestures. He was a sharp man, he was able to see how Izuku flinched at the guy's touch on his shoulder. It bothered him.

"Hey Deku." Katsuki called out just as Izuku opened the door

"Y- yes Ka- Kacchan?" Izuku replied, looking over his shoulder

"Can I stay here for the night?" Katsuki asked

Izuku blushed as he stared at the blonde.

"Wha- what?"

"Only if you want to, m'not forcing you." Katsuki huffed as he crossed his arms

"I- uh- w- well, I'm no- not o- opposed to th- the i- idea..." Izuku mumbled as Katsuki looked at him

"Really?" The blonde rose an eyebrow

"You sure?" Katsuki asked again for clarification

To be honest, that question was out of impulse. Sure, he was worried for the smaller but he should trust him to be able to handle himself because he's not weak. That Nerd can do shit on his own but his protective side got ahold of the wheel so fuck.
