Freckles \ A BakuDeku Story

8: Again

"Please, just say your line right!" Izuku begged, now getting slightly frustrated. 

"I did say it right." Bakugou snarled, unbothered. 

"Heck- Can you not read?! Fiddlesticks! Kacchan! Read the dang script! The play is in 2 months!" The greenette whined. 

Ever since Katsuki and Izuku had gotten into an argument, they decided not to talk about it, and avoid each other. However, this led to even greater problems, and the two hadn't spoken properly in over 30 days. Of course, they were still attracted to one another, but both had too big of a pride to admit they were wrong, or to even apologize. 

"Well, fuck, maybe I won't even do the fucking play, eh?" Katsuki groaned, waving the papers in the air. Izuku's face went pale, before he seemed mad once more. 

"Don't you dare! You signed a contract! You can't just decide to leave, like that! Now can we please just rehearse? Say your line right!" Midoriya argued, now obviously getting angrier. 

As Bakugou was about to speak again, he was interrupted by a desperate whine, from afar. 

"Guys, please! Stop fighting! Jesus, we haven't had a good rehearsal in weeks, all because of you two... If you can't get along, just- Uh, Do something about it! Damn..." Kaminari intervened. Izuku huffed, angry. He turned around and walked off, leaving Katsuki in the middle of the stage. 

"What's up with you two..? You used to get along fine until a month ago." A certain black haired girl spoke, walking up to them. Katsuki frowned sadly for a second, before shaking his head. 

"It's nothing." 

...

"Deku! Hold up! I said- Jesus, Hold up!" Katsuki called, running out of breath. 

Midoriya stopped in his tracks, turning around as he fixed his coat. 

"Sorry... I was listening to music." The greenette spoke, removing his earphones. His eyes landed on Katsuki, who now seemed half dead. After all, he ran over half a mile, just to catch up with him. 

"Ah... Can we... Talk?" The taller male asked, struggling to stand up straight. Midoriya hesitated for a few seconds, before nodding. 

"Ah! Katsuki! We haven't seen you around, in a while!" Aizawa stated, seeing his son's friend walk into their home. 

"Yeah... Uh, been super busy these past few weeks." Bakugou responded, following Izuku throughout the house. The greenette led him to the backyard, where they immediately picked a trail, which led to Midoriya's childhood hideout. The two walking for several minutes, in complete silence, until they reached their wanted destination. 

"What did you want to talk about?" Izuku nervously asked, sitting down on a log. Bakugou joined him. 

"About... Our fight." He stated. 

"It wasn't really a fight... More of an argument, if you ask me." Izuku spoke, rolling his eyes. A silence occurred, before the blonde raised his voice once more.

"Well... I just, I wanted to say I'm sorry. I pushed you into something that you didn't want to do, and I shouldn't have. So for that, I'm sorry... And I was wondering if... You'd forgive me, and we could become a couple again?" Bakugou hesitantly asked, looking over to the wide-eyed male. 

"What in the world are you saying-?" Izuku started. "It's far from being your fault, Kacchan. I'm the one who led you on, as you said. I wanted to be the cool, experienced boyfriend. You were clearly in need... And so, I thought it would be good for me to be more... Into it? I don't know. So I led you on... At least, I tried to. Once I noticed that you were actually liking it, I felt good, but regretful. I was scared. I've never had any sexual experience with a man before... Or a woman. I'm a seventeen-year-old virgin! Ha, and... I guess... I just really wanted my first time to be with someone special, in a special place, in a special way. I wanted it to be perfect. And in my bedroom, in such a rushed manner was not the way I wanted it to be. So I pushed you away, and I'm sorry. I must have confused you. I'm sorry for blaming it on you. I'm sorry, Kacchan. I really am. I'm just a chicken.... I should've went all the way. I'm sorry." 

Midoriya's words resonated throughout the woods, as he quietly started crying. Bakugou watched as his freckled cheeks were slowly flooded by tears. After several seconds, processing everything that Izuku said, Katsuki pulled the curly-haired boy into a hug. 

"Izuku, relax. Can we... Put everything behind us, and take things step by step?" The blonde questioned, snuggling his nose into the locks of green hair. "I don't want to rush you into anything you're not comfortable with. And don't think you have to be cool and experienced. I love you for the sweet, innocent bean you are. Okay? I want us to take our time, together." 

A few seconds of silence passed, before Izuku looked up to the blonde. 

"So... We're boyfriends, again?" He asked, a small smile appearing on his lips. Bakugou smiled, pressing a tender kiss on the smaller male's mouth. 

Once pulled away, Midoriya beamed a smile, nodding. 

He and Bakugou were officially boyfriends... Again.
