Paging Dr. Deku

54: Love Distance

As the sound of his phone rang right next to his ear, the blond scrunched his face as he reached out to grab the phone and opened his eyes to see it was a call from Kirishima. 

"What?" 

"Hey Bakugo! Haven't heard from you all week so we thought we'd call and see if you wanna join us since me and the guys are not on hero stuff today." 

Katsuki groaned as this only meant he'd have to force himself to get out of bed and out of his house for the day for God knows how long. 

"Hard pass, I'm tired." 

"Aw c'mon, Bakugo! You can't keep yourself locked in your place all the time, you gotta-" 

Katsuki hung up the phone since he didn't want to hear anymore of it and sighed.

'Would've been easier just to ignore than answer, but now I'm awake. Wait- did he say it's been a week? What day is it?' he thought as he sat up and looked at the date. 

'It really has been a week, but I didn't think I'd end up sleeping that long. Wait- what did Kei do if I was asleep this whole time? Gotta look at the computer!' he thought as he jumped out of bed and ran out of his bedroom and straight to his office. 

He turned on his computer to see videos everyday for the past few days, and he was worried about what exactly Kei's been doing to be making this many videos. 

'So he's been recording everything just to let me know what's been happening, but is that a good thing?' he thought and after watching all the videos of the week, he clicked on the most recent video which was just hours ago.

"Katsuki... I'm sorry... I'm really sorry. I... I didn't think this would happen so soon, but I knew that Izuku would find out the truth eventually. I... I found Izuku here–in this office–and was watching the videos that you and I have been making, and before I could even explain, she... She found out everything just from the videos you and I have been making." 

Katsuki paused the video and his eyes widened as he couldn't believe what he just heard; Izuku found out? 

'This... This has to be a mistake, she couldn't have watched all our videos. I-I even told her not to come in here, so why did she- what else does Kei have to say?' he thought as he clicked on the video again.

"She... she called me a liar. I tried to tell about what's been wrong with you and why you've been hiding and making me stay awake, but she wouldn't listen to me. I-I wanted to chase after her, but because she was so angry, I... I didn't want to make things worse between you two the next time you wake up. I think... I think I really screwed things up for the both of us, and I didn't mean to. I-I know Takashi specifically told me that I should talk to you and try to tell Izuku about your- our disorder, but I was afraid of the outcome of how Izuku would react. And of course the reaction I was afraid of actually happened. I'm so sorry, Katsuki, but please... please talk to Izuku, for the both of us. I don't think she'll want to listen to me, I am just... your second personality afterall." And the video ended like that.

Katsuki was speechless, he didn't think that all the hard work of trying to keep his disorder a secret would just be revealed so simply because of all the videos he'd been making as well as Kei has. 

'What do I do... What can I do? Takashi- I should ask Takashi since he's been through this kind of thing.' he thought as he jumped out of the chair and went back into his bedroom and changed out of his clothes. 'I've gotta try and find a way to fix this, and I'm sure once I talk to Takashi about this, he can help me out and suggest a way to fix all this. I don't want anyone to find out about this, and I don't want things to turn out worse for me or even-'
