Paging Dr. Deku

48: As I Told You

As soon as the sight of his mother was gone and out of his place, Katsuki exhaled with relief as he didn't feel like he had to be so uptight anymore. Just when he was relieved though, he heard the door of his bedroom open and he looked up to see Izuku slowly walking out of his room. 

'Shit! I forgot Deku's here!' he thought and his heart started racing. 

"I-I didn't think your mom would be so early in the morning." Izuku mumbled. 

"Ah- n-neither did I. I didn't think Uraraka would do something like this to make my mom come here this early." Katsuki muttered. Both of them averted their gazes from each other and weren't sure how to start a new conversation after everything that's happened that morning.

"L-Let's act like what we did earlier... didn't happen." Izuku said, which surprised the blond. 

"Y-You want to... forget that kiss?" he asked. 

"M-Mn. I-It was my mistake... just like how you confessed to me last night was a mistake." 

"What?" 

She looked at him and he looked betrayed by what she just said. 

"L-Last night... when you confessed to me... it was a mistake... wasn't it?" she asked. 

Hearing that word; mistake, made Katsuki want to punch through a wall because it made him think that for some reason Izuku didn't believe him, or even want to believe that he likes her.

"That... That wasn't a mistake." he stated. 

"E-Eh?" 

"I said..." he paused and slowly walked up to her which only caused her to walk away from him in fear of what he could do if he got closer to her. 

But she didn't walk long as she felt her back hit the bedroom door and she watched as he continued walking towards her until he planted his hands on the door and looked down at her. 

"What I said last night... was never a mistake. You can believe me or not, but I like you Deku... I like you Izuku..." he spoke in a calm tone. 

Just from how close he was to her, she felt like she couldn't breathe. 

"I-I-" 

"And what you did earlier... that was not a mistake. You might've thought that kiss was a dream, but you clearly told me that you felt comfortable when I kissed you before. Are you gonna lie about that?" Katsuki asked with beaming Ruby Red eyes. 

"N-No, t-that wasn't a lie! B-But we... we shouldn't be doing something like this. I-I'm with Reed... and you're-" 

"I'm still liking you." he interrupted.

She was surprised by how abrupt he was, but she could tell at this point that he wasn't lying about his feelings towards her, not one bit. 

"I-I..." 

Katsuki could tell right away how uncomfortable the greenette was getting just by looking at her expression. This was wrong on his part to even pressure her when he knew all too well that she was with someone else. 

"S-Sorry... I lost myself for a bit." he said as he pushed himself off the wall and away from her.

"I-It's... it's fine, I just... I need to go to work." she said as she immediately opened the bedroom door and quickly slammed it behind her before Katsuki would try something. 

'Stupid... I'm so stupid.'
