Let Me Love You [BakuDeku]

Chapter 26: Another???

Friday arrived quickly, it was a real coincidence that all of them were free that day, but here they were, hanging out once again. Right now, they were on their way to an arcade since Denki whined all about it so they just caved in. It's not like they were going to disagree anyway since the arcade is really fun and a popular hangout place.

"What?!" Mina and Ochako exclaimed

"Yeah, we're dating now." Hanta shyly said

Shouto was the same, but he was quiet despite the warm feeling he felt all over his body and the blush on his cheeks.

"Man, congrats!" Eijirou said, patting Hanta's shoulder

"So that's why y'all are getting bolder when it comes to PDA." Denki teased with a grin as he lightly nudged Shouto's shoulder

"Yeah, we've seen you hold hands." Hitoshi added

"And blush every time you're near each other." Tsuyu pointed out

"That's quite normal though." Tenya reassured them

"Omg! That's so cute, I'm so happy for both of you!" Ochako said

Everyone chatted with each other, occasionally teasing the newly announced couple. Hanta's only dated girls so it was new to them, specifically his friends to date a boy, but they weren't going to judge especially if he looked that happy.

Same goes for Shouto and his friends, minus Izuku, the four have never seen him date anyone although people have been asking him out and such, be it men or women. He's just never showed any interest and it made them think that the boy might be aromantic and or asexual although people who identify as such could still be in a relationship, but it depends on them. Well, they were proven wrong since now he looks really happy to be dating Hanta.

"Tch- fuckin' finally, got someone to accompany you now." Katsuki said, he was also happy

Izuku giggled.

"I- I'm a- also g- glad yo- you two a- are no- now t- together." He said

He's noticed that he's not so conscious of his stuttering when he's with them.

"It wouldn't have happened without yours and Ashido's help so thanks." Shouto said

That statement made the others look at Izuku. It wasn't a surprise that Mina helped with something like that because she's dubbed as a love expert, but Izuku? There's nothing wrong with it. It's just surprising. He didn't look like he had dated anyone before, not that they know at least, they don't want to force the other to say anything, but again, it's surprising!

"You helped 'Zuku?" Ochako asked curiously

Izuku shyly nodded, embarrassed and nervous at the attention he was getting. His cheeks were a little flushed.

"Wow." Hanta said

"I didn't know, thanks dude." He smiled

"I- it's not- nothing, we- we're f- friends s- so it- it's t- the le- least I c- can d- do." Izuku replied

"That's so sweet of you." Momo said with a light laugh

The topic was soon changed as they continued to chat, but Katsuki's still stuck at the fact Izuku seemed to have helped Hanta get with Shouto. If Izuku had experience then maybe he'll have more of a chance to be with him?

Am I that desperate now? Katsuki thought to himself, sighing. Well it's not like he can help it, Izuku is so lovable and he wants to experience that love coming from the man himself.

"Ka- Kacchan?" Izuku called out from beside him

Katsuki was immediately pulled out of his thoughts hearing that sweet voice making him look over to the guy.

"Yeah?"

"A- are yo- you o- okay?" Izuku asked with a slight frown showing his worry

Katsuki looked at him for a bit while Izuku worriedly waited for him to answer.

"Yeah, I'm fine." The blonde replied with a slight nod

"Y- you su- su- re?" Izuku questioned again

Katsuki grunted and nodded.

"O- okay then..." Izuku mumbled

A few moments of silence passed between them despite the chatting happening with their other friends while they kept walking, it felt like this walk was longer than before.

"I- I rea- really li- liked t- the d- d- date w- e ha- had l- last we- eke- end." Izuku quietly told Katsuki with a flushed face

The taller chuckled, which was rare. Usually if he did, it'd be a teasing one or a cocky one, but this one was genuine. Izuku's statement made him smile a bit.

"Yeah, I liked our date too Izuku." He replied calmly although the tips of his ears were tinted red

Izuku smiled to himself.

Fuck, I wanna ask him to hang out again... alone. Katsuki thought

"Hey." He said, catching Izuku's attention

The smaller looked up at him with a hum.

"Wanna... hangout again. You know, like the uh date." Katsuki muttered, loud enough for Izuku to hear

Izuku stared at him with disbelief written on his face.

Shit! I messed up, he probably doesn't want to go out with only me again! Ugh, fuck fuck fuck! Katsuki, what did you do?! Katsuki told himself, mentally pulling his hair out

Kacchan just asked me on another date... with him... only him... Kacchan.. date.. alone... Izuku thought in a daze and red cheeks

Before he could bask too much in the feeling that hit him just now and before his heart could go any faster, Izuku replied.

"Y- yes! I- I'd lo- love to!" Izuku answered loudly the covered his mouth

It startled Katsuki with how loud he was, but fuck it, he was happy that Izuku said yes, that his thoughts were proven otherwise with that answer of his. Izuku's answer caught the others' attention, facing them.

"What're y'all talking about?" Denki asked curiously

"What did you just say yes to?" Ochako asked Izuku teasingly as she alternately looked at the freckled boy and to Katsuki

"Nothin'." Katsuki said, clearing his throat

He was obviously lying, his ears were redder than he thought they were. Mina squinted her eyes at them both. They looked embarrassed and shy about something, maybe they're hiding something. She might need to get under this.

"Anyways! We're here guys!" Eijirou informed them as they arrived in front of the arcade entrance

"Ha! Let's go inside, I'm so gonna beat all of you in every game!" Denki declared as they went inside

~~~~~

"So that's the guy he's dating?" The dirty blonde guy asked, pointing at Katsuki

"Basically yeah, dunno if they're dating or somethin', but he's always there when Deku's there." The ravenette replied with a short nod

"He looks like an asshole."

"He is. He shooed me away when I tried talking to the scum."

"I figured, you're ugly that's why. He was probably scared too." The shorter smirked

"Shut up, you're uglier than me." The other rolled his eyes

"I'm leaving you here." The blonde said, walking away

"What? You ain't going to 'em?"

"Not now, stupid." He replied

"Oh, you've got something planned then."

"Obviously, let's go. I'm fucking starving."
