" To always be the one to protect you I know that I possess what it takes to do great and terrible things" ~ Unknown

You should always tell the truth in a relationship, you should always be upfront and honest with your partner, tell them when something is wrong, or happening in your life that is making you scared or uncomfortable, yup open and honest is definitely the way to go, there should never be secrets.

All things Izuku absolutely knows, but.. he has been hiding something from his handsome firefighter lately, trying desperately to deal with the situation on his own.

The past two weeks Izuku has been getting threating and harassing phone calls from Raiden from jail.

The first happened two weeks ago when he was at work. A number had come up that he wasn't familiar with but because he was fairly busy and not paying attention he answered it.

As soon as he heard Raiden's voice say his name he hung up immediately, only to receive another call and a voice mail.

" You really are fucking stupid if you think you can ever really get away from me you little whore"

It had upset Izuku so bad he was sick in the bathroom for the next twenty minutes till he was forced to go out on a call.

He had tried to shrug it off until he received another the following night.

" You will never really be free Izuku, I'm inside your head. I still own you and there's nothing that blonde goone can do about it"

That call was on his way home and by the time he had gotten there he was so shaky his legs almost gave out the moment he had walked through the door.

He had been grateful Katsuki wasn't home yet to see him in the state he had been in or the tears he had cried the minute the door shut behind him.

There was a call and voice-mail the next day.

" Keep ignoring me bitch, it's only going to make it worse on yourself"

There was a sort break where he hadn't received any calls at all for two days only to receive another.

" You are nothing Izuku, you will always be nothing. I don't care what that firefighter tells you, it's all bullshit and the only reason he's probably even with you is because you're an easy lay"

That one had broken the greenett down into tears as old ghost of self-doubt and abuse started to work it's way back into a mind that had finally been healing. There was a few minutes where actually considered that those horrible words were true.

The next week had been going on like this, with these calls off and on with voice-mails that make vomit rise and fear to come.

This is now the second week and as he walks home feeling sluggish his phone rings again making tears fall immediately.

He answers this time, he answers this time because he's angry and tired.

He voice snaps on the line before Raiden can even speak.

" Leave me alone! I'm done with your shit! I'm going to the police tomorrow to tell them I'm getting harassed by you!"

There's silence for a beat, then laughter, an angry voice dripping with trouble from the other end.

" You little whore. I'm going go have to make sure I put you back in your place when I get out of here and I will eventually get out of here, and I'll be coming after that blonde of yours too. Happiness isn't in the cards for you Izuku, you will always be min..."
