Fallen Guardian

5. No Choice

Katsuki sits on a beam on top of a 30-story high rise. His legs hung over the edge with ease. He's eating his lunch, ruby eyes looking over the top of the city in the afternoon light.

His mind is drifting back to the night before and a greened-eyed male that he can't seem to get out of his thoughts.

Katsuki is handsome, a risk-taking rebel with a bad mouth and a bad streak. It's no secret that he draws a lot of attention, that both males and females often strive to be with him. He's had his share of dates but nothing too serious for the sole reason that he's never found anyone to capture his interest for very long, but as the greenest eyes, he's ever seen invade his thoughts he wonders if maybe that might change.

That long late-night conversation with Izuku was the most interesting he's had in a long time. The greenett was soft-spoken but held some sort of alluring intensity. Yes, there was definitely someone about him and Katsuki wanted to know more about whatever the fuck it was.

His pleasant thoughts are interrupted by the sound of familiar extras now taking seats next to him with open lunch boxes.

" Hey bro, mind if we join you?", the redhead smiles as he pulls a sandwich from his lunch.

Katsuki rolls his eyes with a grunt.

" Would it fucking matter if I said yes? You shits are ready sitting here eating, why bother asking?!", the blonde snaps.

Sero laughs beside him.

" I guess it's more to be polite, but yeah we're gonna sit here no matter what", the dark-eyed male says with a smile biting into his lunch.

Katsuki shakes his head with an annoyed scowl as he takes a big bite of the apple in his hand.

A question suddenly comes to a redhead.

" Hey bro, where's your bike? I see you drove your car today, that's unusual"

A slight smile works onto the blonde.

" Izuku has the keys, so it's still parked at the bar"

Kirishima and Sero both raise brows.

" Why's he have your keys?", Sero questions.

Katsuki meets his eye clicking his tongue.

" Tch. Because he didn't want me driving after I had that many beers, so he asked for my keys"

" And you gave them to him, without a fight? Wow, that's surprising", Kiri asked surprised.

Katsuki turns toward him.

" What the fucks is that supposed to mean?"

Kirishima laughs lightly.

" Nothing man don't get upset, it's just you argue with us anytime we try to convince you to hand your keys over and you just met this guy, what if he stole your bike or something?"

Katsuki isn't sure why but he suddenly feels defensive over the pretty-eyed greenett.

" He wouldn't fucking do that. He's not like that so watch what you say. He didn't take my bike, just the keys, so watch it Shitty Hair"

Kirishima looks at his friend surprised by the blonde being seemingly protective over this new male.

" Ok man, sorry, it's cool."

Sero raises a brow.

" You guys hit it off last night ?"

Ruby eyes shift to the skyline again.

" Yeah. We talked till they shut the fucking place down. I haven't done shit like that since I was in high school. Fuck, I didn't even want that to end, I could have spent another few hours talking to him"
